The speed of changing the quiver was very fast, and within a few seconds the second round of continuous shooting began!

After the second round of shooting, Di Qing promptly ordered: "Go forward and shoot!"

This is a drill for another attack method.

"Lord, the crossbow soldiers are equipped with loaded arrow boxes, which can be quickly replaced, and the arrow rain is continuous!" Lu Su explained dutifully: "Once the enemy breaks through the crossbow attack line, the crossbow soldiers will

Perform short-range suppression on the enemy, leaving the enemy with nowhere to escape within a range of 100 meters."

After what Lu Su said, Yang Song probably understood the reason for the configuration of the two long-range attacks, just like the armies of the previous world. If the crossbows of the crossbowmen are rifles, then the repeating crossbows of the repeating crossbowmen are submachine guns. It is a pity that

He was a little regretful that he did not see any equipment such as a machine gun, a long-range suppression weapon!

Under Di Qing's order to "advance and shoot", the squadron of crossbowmen advanced in unison, firing a crossbow with each step forward, advancing steadily, and the small group had an unstoppable momentum.

"The advance of the crossbowmen is a process of suppression and an offensive posture." Lu Su said: "Even if they are approached, they will have short knives to protect themselves, but the probability of being approached is too small, unless the enemy

He recklessly took human lives and consumed all the crossbow arrows of the company's crossbowmen, but this assumption is simply not true."

"War is not a child's play. No one arm can do everything. The army allows these arms to complement each other's strengths and cooperate with each other. There is no saying that a single arm can be invincible." This is Lu Su's explanation of why the hypothesis is not true. "And the logistics force is

As part of the military system, with sufficient logistical supplies, whether it is powerful crossbows, repeating crossbows, or even artillery, they have the ability to fight for a long time!"

"What Zijing said is true! What the army pays attention to is a system. Having an organized army is not as simple as talking about it. War is not just a play. Once it happens, everyone in the entire territory will be inseparable!" Yang Song

Thinking of the many military theories I have seen before, I would like to know something.

"And the entire territory must be united and united to win. Soldiers are the most important thing for the country!" Yang Song continued: "No one wants a war unless it is absolutely necessary. I also hope that I will not have the opportunity to use this army in the future.

Bar!"

Of course, he was just talking and sighing, but he actually knew what was going on. War will never leave, peace is short-lived!

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

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

"Next is the light cavalry squad. The light cavalry is famous for its fast maneuverability. The half-body armor and helmet equipped are the same as those of the infantry. Just because they are on horses, there is no skirt armor. The weapons are hand crossbows and cavalry sabers. The hand crossbows

The attack distance is similar to that of the Zhuge Liannu, but it is a single shot. The cavalry sword is longer than that of the sword and shield soldiers, which is conducive to chopping on horseback." Lu Su first introduced the soldiers' weapons and equipment.

The soldiers of this light cavalry squad came out and took out their horses from the stables nearby. They mounted the horses neatly, very neatly!

Under the order, the light cavalry began to gallop on their horses. After running around the school grounds, they took out their hand crossbows and cocked them. The hand crossbows were smaller and cocked quickly. They fired at the dummy dozens of meters away. Because the horses were very fast,

There are only two or three rounds of attack opportunities when shooting with a hand crossbow. After approaching the target, put away the hand crossbow, draw the sword, and use the impact of the war horse to easily split the dummy in half!

"The role of the light cavalry cannot be truly demonstrated in the school grounds. The light cavalry is used for high-mobility tactics such as long-distance raids and mobile harassment. Charging into battle is not the biggest use of the light cavalry. Unless it is forced, it will not attack the enemy's already laid out positions.

Good formation." Lu Su explained the role of light cavalry.

"In addition, the light cavalry can also be used as scouts or to protect the wings of our army to prevent enemy sneak attacks." Finally, he concluded: "The light cavalry is flexible and has wide applicability. Its reasonable use requires excellent skills.

General!"

Yang Song knew that there were many famous cavalry in ancient China, such as Xiliang cavalry, Bingzhou cavalry, Xuanjia cavalry, etc. He also went to check the information on this aspect, and from the information he realized that the various cavalry in China were not what he imagined.

The kind of heavy cavalry that is fully armored is not like the kind of knights in the West that look like iron cans, but light cavalry!

He was very surprised when he learned that these cavalry were light cavalry. These famous cavalry turned out to be light cavalry! Not heavy cavalry! In his impression, only cavalry equipped with various armors can be called "cavalry"!

Finally, I learned that the word "cavalry" does not refer to equipment, but to combat effectiveness, fighting will and the most important achievement!

In fact, the role of light cavalry is far greater than that of heavy cavalry. It still existed until the era of hot weapons, and even had room to play a role 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 light cavalry's demonstration is to run, run, run from one end to the other, and then run in a circle. Anyway, it is to show its mobility!

Although it is just running, this "running" still requires skill!

How to maintain horsepower and stamina during maneuvers, how to keep formations from falling behind, how to maintain integrity, how to change formations to form an attacking front during maneuvers, and other details such as these cannot be underestimated. These details are

The key to distinguishing the elite from the rabble!

Yang Song was dazzled by the display of various maneuverability on the school field, and was a little overwhelmed. Although there were only twelve people, the formation was not small at all. The dust filling the school field is the best explanation!

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

This time, without Lu Su's explanation, Yang Song could guess it. The armor of that group of soldiers from beginning to end was very close to that of heavy infantry. Anyway, they couldn't be lighter!

Sure enough!

"Lord, this team is heavy cavalry. The full body armor is very similar to that of heavy infantry. Except for some details that facilitate riding, the most obvious one is that there is no skirt armor and there are leg armors to protect the legs when riding!

"Lu Su also explained the difference.

"Weapons include lances, swords and war hammers! The lance is a disposable weapon. During the charge, there is no time to remove the lance inserted into the enemy's body, so we can only throw it away! Throwing away the lance can prevent the soldier's hand from

If you are injured, use a more flexible sword in the chaos, and the warhammer is the best choice!"

When the heavy cavalry took their horses out of the stables, they saw that even these horses had armor! The horses' face armor, breastplate, leg armor, and back armor were all available!

This is really watertight. Fortunately, it is a war horse that has been improved by the system. It can bear such a heavy load and still has the energy to charge into battle. It can be called a "magic horse"!

Under the command, they mounted their horses in the same uniform manner, and charged simultaneously with the same tacit cooperation! This made Yang Song and others watching on the side very pleased!

"Lord, heavy cavalry does not have as many functions as light cavalry. They only have one function, and that is to break the formation!" Lu Su explained very simply this time, "Charging into the formation is the destination of heavy cavalry! Their charge cannot be interrupted easily.

Of! Therefore! Defense is their first element!"

"Paying attention to defense does not mean that attack is ineffective. It can be seen from the weapons they are equipped with that their attack power is huge! But their most powerful attack is collision! In front of the heavy cavalry charging at high speed, flesh and blood is still too fragile!

"Lu Su said with emotion.

"Heavy cavalry has the same shortcomings as heavy infantry. That is, its function is too single! Not to mention the high cost, its endurance is not as strong as that of light cavalry! But its power and use can completely make up for these shortcomings!"

Yes! Heavy cavalry is ridiculously strong, but its shortcomings are equally obvious! And without enough national power, heavy cavalry is a joke! High-cost equipment, precious horses, and well-trained warriors, without enough national power,

These things cannot be used!

Looking at the heavy cavalry squads running rampant in the school grounds, they are like moving real money! They make the enemy tremble and fear, and they are also a presence that makes the monarch of his side proud and heartbroken!

No wonder the heavy cavalry were eliminated in the end. In addition to the development of weapons technology, there was also 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 it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, they all pay attention to quantity. Only when the quantity increases can combat effectiveness be achieved. Breaking an army formation single-handedly is a legend and myth!

After watching the heavy cavalry demonstration on the school field, it was very difficult to maintain a battle formation during a charge. A squad of twelve men could only briefly demonstrate a few common battle formations, such as the triangle formation and the square formation.

Formation.

Charging into a formation is not just a matter of rushing in and out. You need to find the enemy's weak points, what methods should be used, and what is the purpose. Is it to disrupt the enemy's formation or destroy it, to deter the enemy's morale or to improve the morale of our army? These are also a test for the generals.

The ability to use military force!

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

It had only been a long time since the demonstration, and the soldiers were getting tired, and the war horses began to pant! It only took half an hour! The other arms performed the demonstration as if nothing was wrong. This is really a physical job!

"Lord, this is how heavy cavalry is, stronger than bursts, weaker than lasting!" Lu Su saw Yang Song's frown and explained: "During the drill just now, the heavy cavalry went all out and never stopped, that's why we have what we have now.
Chapter completed!
