68 musketeers and archers mix!

"So, everyone comes out to work and train as a villager, actually for the sake of their family and friends to survive in this troubled world! Today I will tell you the truth, some people are still wondering why I, Liu Baiyu, don't have swollen grains, but

Plant potatoes, corns, horses, and potatoes. Let me tell you clearly that these three strange crops are all introduced from overseas fairy mountains! They are more harvestable than grains and can best withstand droughts and floods.

If you have these three things, you won’t have to worry about any kind of disaster, and you won’t have to worry about the harvest, and you won’t starve to death!”

Although these people don't know what the so-called overseas fairy mountains are, there are rumors that Liu Baiyu is the reincarnation of an immortal and can create mountains of gold and silver. Now that they have confirmed it, it has boosted the morale of the Liu family's slaves.

, no wonder our master is different from other families, he is so generous, this is the confidence!

"But! These days, if you have food and they don't, there will be refugees who will come to eat at the big households! If you just listen to the master and work honestly in exchange for money, that's all. If you want to eat the King's Meal and eat and drink for free, everyone

What should we do? We have to rely on ourselves to defend ourselves! How rotten are the guardsmen? They are worse than beggars and cannot be relied upon!"

Liu Baiyu's words resonated with the servants of the Liu family. In the past few years, Zhang Tianhong organized villagers to fight against the refugees who were eating from wealthy households. He also knew that if these refugees defeated Zhuangzi, they would eat up all the life-saving food for everyone. The master of the family

Maybe he could escape with Xinrou, but the unlucky ones were the tenant farmers, servants, etc., who were either killed or starved to death without food. Thinking of this, Brother Liu was the first to take the lead and shouted:

"Defend your family! Defend your hometown, defend Mr. Liu!"

These three sentences are really catchy. Brother Liu shouted a few words, and everyone got used to it. Finally, they all shouted...

Now that he is a rich man, he can only rely on this to unite people's hearts. Liu Baiyu thought helplessly and shouted a few words. Finally, he signaled the end of the training and let the villagers start practicing the martial arts boxing and the magical spear method played in modern times.

Arranged.

Military Boxing was made much simpler by Huang Dali, and it mainly used weapons to kill people. Although Liu Baiyu could exchange hundreds of swords, spears and other cold weapons, the authority of the Ming government is still very strong.

, if he really took out hundreds of swords and spears, even Guan County Magistrate couldn't protect Liu Baiyu, so he had to change it to an iron ruler, a semi-weapon of the government officials.

However, these iron rulers are also made of modern steel. If they collide with the iron knives in the Ming Dynasty Guard Institute, the iron knives can be curled or even smashed into pieces in a few strokes. Moreover, the edges of these iron rulers are also sharp.

The blade has a special blade. The effect of hitting vital points may be stronger than that of an iron blade!

Although the weapons made Liu Baiyu sigh, Huang Dali's training was good. After just the beginning, the villagers practiced more than a dozen postures smoothly, all of which were simple smashing, but the speed and strength were good.

, is the real way to kill, not some tricks!

Although there were only a few dozen people, they were actually shown a murderous aura by Huang Dali. Even though Liu Baiyu was an outsider, he thought it was quite difficult. He nodded and smiled at Huang Dali, indicating that he could practice the spear phalanx.

It is said that it is a spear phalanx, but in fact it is better to say that it is a three-edged military thorn with a wooden handle. The three-edged military thorn is very vicious. The wounds it makes are all triangular. The wounds are huge and difficult to sew. If you add

The outdated bandaging in this era, and the unknown suture method that existed, were basically equivalent to giving up treatment if you were stabbed.

However, the content of the spear phalanx that Huang Dali practiced surprised Liu Baiyu. The overall movement speed was quite slow, and it was mainly defensive. When being attacked, the enemy was injured by hitting the crossbows of the ten guards in the middle of the target. When pursuing,

The pursuit relied on horseback [donkey] infantry on both sides of the target.

It seems inconsistent with many people's boasts about using spears to build a city and being invincible in attack and defense! Liu Baiyu asked Huang Dali doubtfully. Huang Dali was also a veteran in the army, so he naturally pointed out some problems with the spear phalanx.

The first problem with the spear phalanx is that it is weak against long-range weapons. After all, whether there is a shield is not a big problem for close combat, but for the defense of long-range weapons, the problem is very big, especially the Manchurian heavy archers. Not only are they powerful

He is ruthless, accurate in shooting, and full of courage. He is a desperado who dares to shoot closely under the cover of infantry. If he does not have heavy armor, he is afraid that the first three rows of the pike phalanx will collapse directly after a few rounds of Manchu heavy archer attacks.

.

So if the Manchurian heavy archers shoot closely, then the long gunmen can not only prevent the opponent's cavalry from attacking, but for the Manchurian heavy archers and musketeers to shoot at each other, it is better to add a heavy shield soldier in front of the musketeers!

"How is it possible that the musketeers are no match for the Manchurian heavy archers in cross-fire? The musketeers' projectiles are made of lead. Even if they don't hit the vital points and hit unimportant places, it will be very difficult!" Liu Baiyu didn't know.

Xie asked.

Huang Dali continued to explain, and then Liu Baiyu realized that there were many things that he had taken for granted. You must know that the heavy archers in Manchuria can wear leather armor, and can even use the inferior horses they ride as shields to shoot at the musketeers. Anyway, these

The heavy archers in Manchuria are all those who have experienced hundreds of battles. The people in the battle formation are so close that it is difficult to miss. At most, the projectiles cannot cause fixed-point damage and cannot break the formation. The so-called long spears in the phalanx

The idea that you can shoot arrows by swinging them is just about the same when dealing with mounted bows, but it's nonsense when dealing with heavy archers.

Therefore, on paper, musketeers are more lethal than heavy archers, but if musketeers have the upper hand against heavy archers, these are completely two different things.

Moreover, it is difficult for the Musketeers to wear leather armor. After all, even modern rifles require hand-eye coordination. If there are more than ten kilograms of weight on the body, it will be difficult for a modern rifle to aim, let alone an ancient flintlock gun.

What's more, the so-called musketeers are more lethal than heavy archers on paper. In fact, it is completely based on modern people's point of view. The Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty had problems eating and drinking. Military doctors mostly served officers and were also good at trauma.

The heavy archers of the Manchus used dirty arrows used by the Mongols. [The so-called dirty arrows are arrows soaked in excrement, dirt and other mixtures. It is similar to the work of primitive bacterial weapons. Once the skin is broken, it will basically

Infection, the symptoms of infection are all kinds of strange. In ancient times when there were no antibiotics and lack of medical treatment, it is really difficult to say who is more lethal between being hit by this thing or being hit by a musketeer's projectile. Chronic lead poisoning]

No wonder in the early Ming Dynasty, when the musketeers were at their best, they also recruited Mongolian archers into the army on a large scale! It seems that in this era, the combination of musketeers and archers is the most reliable long-range force! Liu Baiyu nodded and decided

He also followed the example of Ming Taizu and mixed musketeers and archers. Anyway, the power of modern pulley bows is much greater than that of ancient bows and arrows. As for dirty arrows, Liu Baiyu felt that it was because the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty lacked medical treatment and medicine.

It's amazing. I have no shortage of antibiotics, so this thing shouldn't be much of a threat.
