Chapter 1101: 3-Day Scheduled Harassment
Two hundred Yulin flying cavalrymen left with three horses each, reported the news, and found the main force.
The Anxi soldiers were in an unusually good state, and they fiddled with arrows one by one.
This was the first time I saw a large number of regular arrows. They looked exactly the same. There was nothing to say about the same arrowheads, but how could the arrow shafts be different?
"You practice the same arrows every day, and you have a deeper understanding of arrows on the battlefield." Zhang Xiaosong envied him, and his combat effectiveness was not high.
He was a Jinshi, and he was not as good as Guo Zhiyun.
Guo Zhiyun was born in a noble family. He was naughty and made trouble since he was a child. He didn't like to study, so he was sent to the army.
As a result, Guo Zhiyun found his opportunity in the army. He was good at fighting and had a talent for command.
He was probably the kind of child king. He led a group of friends to fight with others, and he was responsible for commanding and could also charge into battle.
"We usually use a variety of bows and arrows. It is required that you can know the strength of a bow after holding it and how hard you can pull it without breaking it.
After holding an arrow, you need to understand the weight of the arrow and the interference of the arrow feathers, and then shoot at the target under different circumstances."
Fan Fan shook his head. When they were training, some bows only had eight buckets, and they would break if they pulled hard.
As for arrows, some of them were missing feathers on one side. Generally, in this case, they would use a knife to cut off the feathers on the other side.
Of course, there are masters who can rely on their feelings to see which side has fewer feathers, estimate the flight posture and trajectory, and shoot in an arc shape, just hitting the target.
Just like playing basketball, the moment you shoot, you basically know whether it will go in.
"You have a good bow and arrow, but you practice other bows? Are you ready to pick up the enemy's bows and arrows on the battlefield?" Zhang Xiaosong understood.
"The host said that we are a special forces unit. The enemy's arrows fly in a parabola, and we may reach out to catch them. You know parabola, right? It's like drawing a circle."
Fan Fan tried his best to explain it clearly. Parabola is a noun.
"Do you catch the arrows shot at the chest?" Zhang Xiaosong knew that people with quick reactions would deflect the arrows falling from the sky, so what is the operation of catching?
"If you shoot at the chest, if you can catch it, you can catch it. If you can't catch it, use your arms to block it. It's better to get hurt than to die.
When we train, we wear heavy armor and shoot each other with round-headed arrows. The arrows are dipped in ink and shoot at a point on the body.
Our daily routine is training, studying, eating, and sleeping.
For those who are married, their wives come back to live for a few days every month in a separate house.
For those who are not married, go to Beiqu. The girls in Beiqu don't ask us for money. For me, I can go to Zhongqu and make up a jingle or something."
Fan Fan said all these secrets, proud.
Most people can't go to Beiqu because it costs too much money. Basically, they go to the secret prostitutes who open their doors to welcome customers.
Zhang Xiaosong felt that Fan Fan was showing off to him, so he replied: "I can go to Nanqu because I am a Jinshi."
"I always see the people in Nanqu, but when they arrive at the manor, they look for the owner. They are now crowdfunding, saying that they will give the owner 10,000 strings of cash for accompanying him for one night."
"Captain Fan, you are done. Next time if you don't take me to Zhongqu, I will tell the owner."
"Go, just take a breath and it will be over. I can take you anywhere."
"Captain Fan, you dare to insult me."
"I am wrong. I apologize. You didn't take a breath, you took two breaths, one inhalation and one exhalation."
"I will fight with you. Oh, Captain Fan, please show mercy. My brother, my brother, my grandfather, my arm is going to be broken."
"I am sorry to make you laugh. You don't deal with them. You are disrespectful."
Fan Fan let go of his hand, kicked the provocative man twice, turned around and said to Zhang Xiaosong with a smile.
Zhang Xiaosong shook his head: "As the leader of the soldiers, how can you laugh and joke like this? Will they be afraid of you?"
"Why should they be afraid of me? I lead the team, and what I say is what it is. If I ask them to jump off the cliff, they will jump too. If they are wrong, I will take the responsibility.
If I die in battle, any brother can take over my command. This is called individual quality.
We are trained as generals. The owner said that we will be sent to various places to be generals in the future."
Fan Fan didn't care. He was not a real leader. He was just the battalion commander of his team. Now there were 3,000 people, and he was in charge temporarily.
The real majesty was not on him. Everyone was the same. The one with power was His Majesty, and the one with power was Li Dongzhu.
Of course, the brothers were just as lively in front of Li Dongzhu, and then they were played by the owner.
"The hot air balloon rose up and looked around." Zhang Xiaosong knew that the Yulin Flying Cavalry was different from his own team, so there was nothing to say.
The hot air balloon rose up and scanned the area with a telescope. No outsiders were seen.
There were many animals in the distance, and some animals were hunting other animals.
After the flag signal was sent down, Zhang Xiaosong got the news and thought about it: "When do you think they can send troops?"
"General Hao Lingquan, who brought back the head of Mochu, led 5,000 16 guards to deliver weapons to Guo Zhi, and replaced 7,000 Yulin flying cavalry back to Chang'an.
They rode two horses each, and their advance speed was slow. We set off later and surpassed them. They brought 500 muskets and a large number of bullets.
According to their marching speed, they can meet up with Guo Zhiyun in more than three days.
The remaining 5,000 Yulin flying cavalry adjusted their personnel to use muskets. They should attack the other side on the raft in the middle of the river."
Fan Fan did not say the specific things, he told Zhang Xiaosong the information he had.
The muskets were delivered, and the effective distance was about 100 steps. In fact, the bullets can fly very far.
When fighting in dense formations, it is not the effective distance that is judged, but the bullet killing distance.
Like Li Yi's pistol at that time, the effective range was several tens of meters. Standing at a distance of 200 meters, the bullet hit his head and he would still be killed.
The effective range means that the trajectory does not deviate much and can be aimed. If it is far away, the bullet may not fly where it will go.
In general, as long as the muzzle is not tilted downward, the bullet will fly upward and left and right.
The lethality of flying upward and then falling down is unclear. Flying left and right, at a distance of 200 steps, it can hit the body.
It is impossible to kill an enemy with every bullet on the battlefield. That is in the lyrics.
"Three days are good. We will go to harass for three days. We will set off in two days. The hot air balloon will take off every fifty miles and no scouts will be sent."
Zhang Xiaosong has made a decision. When the main Yulin flying cavalry starts to make trouble, he will follow suit.
War does not necessarily mean killing as soon as you go up. You can also tire the enemy first.
Your team has more horses and more means. If you go to trap people, Guo Zhiyun's main force will seize the opportunity to suddenly rush across the river.
If Guo Zhiyun, Wang Junkui and Zhang Zhongliang don't cooperate well, they must be impeached later.
The opportunity on the battlefield is presented to you, and you just wait and do nothing?
A young general asked: "Captain Fan, what kind of new musket is it, and how far can it kill people?"
"It depends on whether it penetrates the armor or not, and where it hits. If the lead bullet hits the eye, standing on the city wall with your head down, you will die even if you are standing on the city wall facing down.
Wearing the heavy armor of the Mo Dao soldiers, it will not kill people even if it penetrates the armor at a hundred steps, unless it is infected. Lead bullets are not easy to remove, unlike arrows.
Lead bullets are a soybean-sized lead, which hits the meat. Once the meat closes, you have to dig up the meat to find it.
We have practiced on pigs, practiced shooting and taking bullets, and we just happened to kill pigs."
Fan Fan couldn't give a definite data, so he briefly introduced the situation.
"What does the pig look like when it is hit?" the young general asked again.
"The pig didn't say anything, it just screamed, and I couldn't understand it." Fan Fan said seriously.
