Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 23 Demonstration

The speed of changing the arrow box was very fast, but within a few seconds, the second round of continuous shooting began again!

After the second round of shooting, Di Qing ordered in time: “Go forward!”

This is a rehearsal of another attack method.

“Lord, the crossbowmen are equipped with loaded arrow boxes, which can be replaced quickly, and the rain of arrows is endless!” Lu Su dutifully explained: “Once the enemy breaks through the attack line of the crossbow, the crossbowmen will Suppress the enemy for a short period of time so that the enemy has nowhere to escape within a range of 100 meters.”

After Lu Su said that, Yang Song probably also understood the reasons for the two long-range attacks, just like the armies of the previous world. If the crossbow of the crossbowman is a rifle, then the crossbow of the crossbowman is a submachine gun. It is a pity that he didn’t see equipment such as a machine gun, a long-range suppression killer, which made him a bit regretful!

Under the order of Di Qing to “shoot forward”, the continuous crossbowmen squad moved forward in unison. Every further step, a crossbow arrow would be fired, steadily advancing, and the small team had an unstoppable momentum.

“The continuous crossbow soldier is a suppressing process and an offensive posture in the process of advancing.” Lu Su said: “Behind the body is protected by a short knife, but the probability of being close is too small, unless the enemy He desperately took the life pile and consumed all the crossbow arrows of the crossbowmen, but this assumption is not true at all.”

“War is not a trivial matter. No single arm can take over everything. The army just allows these arms to complement each other and cooperate with each other. Without a single arm, the world can be invincible.” This is Lu Su’s explanation of why the hypothesis is not valid. “Logistics is a part of the military system. With sufficient logistical supplies, whether it is a strong crossbow or a continuous crossbow, or even artillery! They have the ability to fight for a long time!”

“Zi Jing said that! What the army pays attention to is the system. A controlled soldier is not so simple to talk about. War is not a playhouse. Once it happens, everyone in the entire territory will be inseparable!” Yang Song I think of many military theories that I have seen before, if I can get it.

“Moreover, the entire territory must be united and united in order to win. The soldiers, the important affairs of the country!” Yang Song continued: “Unless unavoidable, no one wants war. I also hope that I will not have the opportunity to use this army in the future. Right!”

Of course, he was just talking about it. He sighed, he actually knew what was going on. War will never leave, peace is short-lived!

Although he sincerely hopes that war will not happen, he is not naive enough to believe that war will never happen. And as a lord, he is destined to abandon something that is very important to ordinary people!

During their conversation, the crossbowmen team also finished the demonstration, walked to the end of the Founder, and returned to the team to stand.

“Next is the light cavalry squad. The light cavalry is known for its rapid mobility. The half-length armor and helmet equipped are the same as those of infantry, because they are on horses and do not have skirt armor. The weapons are crossbows, cavalry swords, and crossbows. The attack distance is similar to that of Zhuge Liannu, but it is a single shot. The cavalry sword is longer than that of the shield soldier, which is conducive to slashing immediately.” Lu Su first introduced the soldiers’ weapons and equipment.

The soldiers of this light cavalry squad stepped out and pulled out their horses in the stable beside them. They mounted their horses neatly, very neatly and neatly!

Under the order, the hussars began to ride their horses, ran around the school ground for a week, and then took out their crossbows to wind up. The hand crossbow is small and fast winding. Shoot at the dummy from tens of meters away. Because the horse is very fast, there are only two or three rounds of attack opportunities for shooting with a crossbow. When approaching the target, put away the crossbow, drew out the war knife, and with the help of the horse’s impact, easily split the dummy in half!

“There is no way to truly demonstrate the role of the light cavalry in the school field. The light cavalry is based on long-distance attacks and mobile harassment. These highly mobile tactics. Charge and trap are not the biggest use of the light cavalry. Good formation.” Lu Su explained the role of the light cavalry.

“In addition, the light cavalry can also be used as scouts or protect the two wings of our army to prevent the enemy’s sneak attack.” Finally, he concluded: “The light cavalry is flexible and has a wide range of applicability. It needs to be excellent for its reasonable use. Generals!”

Yang Song knew that there were many famous cavalry in China in ancient times, such as Xiliang iron cavalry, Bingzhou iron cavalry, Xuanjia iron cavalry and so on. He also specifically checked the information in this area. Only from the information did he know that China’s iron cavalry was not what he imagined. The kind of heavy cavalry covered in armor is also different from the knights that look like iron cans in the West, but light cavalry!

He was very surprised when he knew that these iron cavalry were light cavalry, these famous cavalry turned out to be light cavalry! Not heavy cavalry! In his impression, cavalry equipped with various armors can be called “iron cavalry”!

I finally learned that the term “iron cavalry” does not refer to equipment, but refers to combat power, fighting will, and the most important record!

The role of 　　 light cavalry is actually far greater than that of heavy cavalry. It still exists until the era of hot weapons, and even has room for function after the invention of the machine gun! The most important thing for the light cavalry to exist for so long is the irreplaceable mobility of other arms!

The demonstration of the light cavalry is running, running from one end to the other, and then running in circles, anyway, to show its mobility!

Although it’s just running, but this “running” still has to be skilled!

How to maintain horsepower and stamina during maneuvering, how to keep the formation from falling behind, how to maintain integrity, how to change the formation to form an attacking frontline when maneuvering, etc. These details are not to be underestimated. These details are the details. The key to distinguish the elite from the mob!

showed off various maneuverability on the school field, which made Yang Song dazzled and a little overwhelmed. Although there are only twelve men and horses, the battles caused are not small at all. The dust that fills the school field is the best interpretation!

After showing the light cavalry, the next step is the heavy cavalry!

Without Lu Su’s explanation this time, Yang Song could also guess it, seeing that the armor of the soldiers from the beginning to the end was very close to the heavy infantry. Anyway, it can’t be taken lightly!

as predicted!

“Lord, this team is heavy cavalry. The overall armor is very similar to heavy infantry. Except for some details that are convenient for riding, the most obvious is that there is no skirt armor, and leg armor is added to protect the legs in the riding state! “Lu Su also explained the difference.

“Weapons are equipped with lances, swords, and warhammers! The lance is a one-time weapon. During the charge and impact, there is no time to pull the lance inserted into the enemy’s body. You can only discard it! Abandoning the lance can prevent the soldier’s hands. Injured, it is the best choice to use more flexible war knives and warhammers in the chaos!”

I waited until the heavy cavalry took their horses out of the stables and saw that even these horses have armor! Warhorse visor, breastplate, leg armor, and back armor are all available!

This is really drip-proof. Fortunately, the horses that have been improved in the system can afford so much load, and they have the ability to charge and fall into the battle, which can be called a “horse”!

Under the order, the same neatly mounted posture, the same tacitly coordinated and synchronized charge! This made Yang Song and others who were watching were very pleased!

“Lord, the heavy cavalry does not have as many functions as the light cavalry. They only have one function, and that is to break the formation!” Lu Su’s explanation is very simple this time, “The heavy cavalry’s destination is to charge and fall into the formation! Their charge cannot be easily interrupted. Yes! Therefore! Defense is their first element!”

“Paying attention to defense doesn’t mean that the attack is not good. From the weapons they are equipped with, it can be seen that the attack power is not small! But their most powerful attack is the collision! In front of the heavy cavalry charging at high speed, the flesh and blood body is still too fragile! “Lu Su said with emotion.

“Heavy cavalry is the same as heavy infantry, and the shortcomings are obvious. That is, the function is too single! Not to mention the high cost, and the endurance is not as strong as the light cavalry! But his power and use can completely make up for these shortcomings!”

Yup! It is outrageous that heavy cavalry is strong, and the shortcomings are also conspicuous! And without enough national power, heavy cavalry is a joke! High-cost equipment, precious war horses and well-trained fighters. Without sufficient national power, these things are not usable!

Looking at the heavy cavalry squad rampant in the school field, they are all moving real money! They make the enemy fearful, and make their own monarch proud and painful!

It is no wonder that the heavy cavalry was eliminated in the end. In addition to the development of weapon technology, that is the terrible cost! Even the current territory can only afford the supply and maintenance of these new heavy cavalry. Supplementary expansion is a dream!

Whether they are light cavalry or heavy cavalry, they pay attention to quantity, and only when the quantity goes up will combat effectiveness be formed. It is legend and myth to break the army single-handedly!

After watching the demonstration of the heavy cavalry on the school field, it is very difficult to maintain the battle formation in the charge. A squad of twelve horses can only simply demonstrate a few commonly used battles, such as triangle formations and square formations. Formation.

Charge into the array is not a rushing rush, to find the weak points of the enemy, what method should be used, and what purpose is there. Is it to disrupt or destroy the enemy’s formation, to deter the enemy’s morale or to increase the morale of our army? These are also very test the generals’ ability to use soldiers!

Seeing the exhausted expressions of the heavy cavalry after the demonstration, Yang Song knew that this was an explosive unit.

How long did it take to demonstrate that the soldiers are exhausted, and the horses are beginning to pant heavily! But half an hour! The demonstration of the other arms is the same as that of a okay person. This is really a manual job!

“Lord, the heavy cavalry is like this, stronger than the outbreak, weaker than the endurance!” Lu Su saw Yang Song’s frowning brows and explained: “During the exercise just now, the heavy cavalry went all out and never stopped. Tired. On the battlefield, this fatigue is nothing. Lord, please rest assured that the soldiers will not let you down!”
