Chapter 868

Twenty thousand crossbow soldiers have 20000 crossbows and arrows in one round of volley, and 200000 crossbows and arrows in ten rounds of volley.

The Han Army has not only crossbow soldiers, but also a considerable number of archers. Whether crossbow soldiers or archers, it is impossible to have only ten rounds of volley in a war, which is enough to show that if the national strength is not strong, don't want to train too many crossbow troops, otherwise even if they are loaded, they can't afford to consume arrows at all.

Modern ammunition has the word "base". The base number of ammunition of different caliber is different. The larger the caliber, the less the number of ammunition of each base.

The "arrows" in the cold weapon era are also different. They are generally divided into light arrows and heavy arrows.

The light arrow mainly tends to have the advantage of range, which does not mean that it is a real light arrow, but it is natural that it is lighter than the arrow. The arrowhead will be of ordinary style, and the arrow shaft will not pay attention to where to go. Generally, bamboo is preferred as the arrow shaft, and then some lighter wood is used to make the arrow shaft.

Heavy arrow, the heaviest arrow is a heavy arrow covered with metal, but ordinary people can't afford to play with metal heavy arrow. Another kind of heavy arrow is to select excellent wood to make the arrow rod, and then match it with three edged arrowheads. The purpose of selecting excellent wood as the arrow rod is to ensure the shooting accuracy. Of course, the purpose of installing three edged arrowheads is to have the ability to break armor.

There are also more particular differences. For example, in terms of the plume style of the tail of the arrow, different styles of plumes have a great impact on the arrow. The more particular the plume is, the more accurate it is.

So it's the same arrow, but there are so many different stresses. What if the national strength is not good? Even if it can be done, how much can be stored. This directly reflects the difference between large countries and small countries. Large countries have a wide variety of arrows and full storage. Small countries don't have much in style or quantity. The importance of arrows in the war in the cold weapon era needs no more words.

The arrangement of the arrow array of the Han army was very particular. How many people formed a salvo unit. Each unit took turns to salvo, and distinguished between crossbow soldiers and bow soldiers. The crossbow has a long range and is used to cover the enemy (enemy camp) at a long distance. The Archer has a short range and aims at the approach of the enemy that may leave the camp.

At the temporary stage, the crossbow soldiers of the Han Army happily carried out rounds of volley. Ah San didn't leave the camp.

Probably the crossbow volley was considered enough, and the volley stopped.

Some Han Army teams were ordered to approach a'san camp. They did not control the tight formation. On the contrary, they scattered into a loose formation, but the small number was very long.

"It looks disgusting over there." Helena said of a San's barracks repeatedly covered by crossbows and arrows: "it's too dense to see me sick."

Dense phobia is not committed by modern talents, but will repel and feel disgusted at the dense things, especially the dense "points" arranged regularly.

The A-San camp, which has been repeatedly covered by crossbows and arrows, is full of arrows wherever arrows can be nailed.

From the perspective of the Han Army, in the past, the A-San camp, which was nailed with crossbows and arrows, had dense "points" one after another. The high degree of density made it a "long" full of an artificial species called crossbows and arrows.

The Han Army that has been approaching has been within 100 meters of A-San camp, but there is no movement in the camp. When they reached within 100 meters, they began to trot, and when they reached within 30 meters, they changed to the charging posture.

"Cyris Army..." flavis looked at the Chinese crossbow troops who were replenishing crossbows and arrows: "a crossbow soldier is equipped with an auxiliary soldier. The auxiliary soldier is specially to help load arrows?"

Not all crossbows can reach a range of more than 500 meters. At present, the Han army uses the pouting crossbows that existed in the Qin Dynasty. One crossbow soldier is equipped with two pouting crossbows. He doesn't have to pull the string to load the arrows, but gives them to the auxiliary soldiers.

At this time, some infantry pulled out in front of the crossbow troops.

The infantry were lined up. At the command of the officer, they began to move forward slowly, followed by ready crossbow and archers.

The Han Army in charge of testing A-San camp has rushed into the camp for a short time. They haven't sent a signal to the rear. They have to go deep until they encounter resistance.

The camp is full of crossbows and arrows. If people want to walk, they need to constantly sweep away the inserted crossbows and arrows, otherwise they can't walk at all.

Under the cover of high-intensity arrow array, the camp is full of A-San soldiers who were killed by arrows. They have too many holes shot by arrows. The bleeding speed is very fast. Before they die, the body is pale.

There was so much blood that the Han army boots entering the camp were dyed red. The viscosity of the blood was very high, and the bottom of the boots was constantly stuck with layers of mud. The smell into the nose was more bloody than expected.

"Coverage has been completely cleared." Cui Shouren looked at the battle report from the front and continued to report: "the enemy's bodies in the camp are roughly nearly 4000. It is impossible to judge from the bodies whether they were directly shot to death or other methods of death."

When the Han army came, ah Sanmen looked like they were in full battle readiness. The front of the camp was full of close combat infantry, and the position slightly behind was also full of archers. Unfortunately, the long-range weapons of the Han army were too far and too sharp. Ah Sanmen resisted the four-wheel volley of 20000 crossbow soldiers of the Han Army and chose to retreat.

Cui Shouren is queen Cui Wan's mother's family. The object he is reporting military information is Si Hongzhuang. He entered the army in the fifth year of Yuanshuo. At first, he started as a small soldier. After seven years, he was promoted to the position of Sima of other departments.

Si Hongzhuang said expressionless, "order, after the army is pressed for two miles, the crossbow soldiers will continue to cover."

Two miles? That is to directly enter the camp that ah San gave up.

"The war of the Han Empire was too slow." Gambisis looked at the advancing Han Army: "if we found that the enemy had abandoned the front camp, we must rush down directly."

"No cavalry or chariot soldiers of the Han Empire were seen on this battlefield." Keshias was just wondering this: "we can see that there are cavalry and chariot soldiers over there. Maybe this is the reason why the Han army is stable?"

This battlefield is indeed not a large-scale Han cavalry, but a necessary scouting force.

However, the absence of cavalry is not the reason why Si Hongzhuang chose to fight steadily. The reason is that the camps on both sides of the whole battlefield are really too dense. The main force of both fast attack and slow attack can only rely on infantry. Cavalry should be used as a decisive force in addition to sweeping the periphery in this battlefield.

"The believers have a large number of cavalry and chariot soldiers..." gambisis wondered, "why don't you go out of the camp?"

Keshias did not want to understand this, and said in a speculative tone, "maybe he was afraid of being beaten."
