Chapter 6: Riding while shooting is a technical activity

The next morning, after Marin got up and washed, he got a piece of black bread without mud and licked it. He simply filled his stomach and went out shopping.

Last night, Marin thought about the middle of the night and strengthened his determination to rely on the Emperor Maximilian I. Because, although Maximilian I was a poor man, he was an emperor, but he was able to give himself a high status.

As a transmigrator, and someone who also watched so many novel like this situation, there are a lot of ways to make money in his mind. But in this age when the nobility was rampant, there was no status, and no amount of wealth could be kept.

Therefore, Marin needs to use the emperor to obtain a high enough social status to block others' shackles of their wealth. And how to get social status (that is, the title)? Very simple, battle!

As a graduate of the history department, Marin has read Western history and knows that in the "Thirty Years War" in the 17th century, there were two talented strategists who had become low-minded but became the great aristocrats with warfare - Wallenstein and Tilly.

These two big man, all born in the ordinary declining small aristocratic family, are not big aristocratic children. However, by commanding the mercenary to make great contributions to the battle of the great aristocracy, the two layers of the aristocratic world, one is ennobled Duke (Warrenstein), the other is ennobled Earl (Tilly).

Marlin may not have the same talent as Wallenstein, but there is no problem with relying on a set of "Spanish squares" to fight the world's Tilly. At least, he knows how to play the Spanish square. The original creator of the Spanish square, General Crdoba, will have to wait until 1503 to find out the prototype of the "Spanish square" of more than a century. And this tactic, Marin is very clear.

Even Marin knows the Morris phalanx of the Netherlands, which is more powerful than the Spanish squad, and the Gustav line, which is close to the modern battlefield. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

As for the dwarf artillery tactics, let alone talk about it. The tactics after the mid-19th century were useless. Because, there are no such advanced weapons. After all, Marin is a liberal arts student. Although science is also good, it is not professional. Therefore, he can get a maximum of guns or something. I want to get a gun after the gun, and the bottom fire technology can't solve it. This technology requires a professional from chemistry to solve...

Of course, the above is purely Marin's thoughts. In order to display his "talent", he must first be mixed into the mercenary recruited by Maximilian I. Otherwise, everything is not possible.

To be mixed into the German mercenary formed by Maximilian I, first arrived in Vienna, the home of the Habsburg family.

Since the resumption of Austria from the Hungarian kingdom in 1490, Maximilian I moved his office from the Principality of Burgundy to Vienna. Although the emperor often went to Innsbruck in western Austria, many important things were still handled in Vienna. The big event of recruiting troops must also be done in Vienna.

Now, to go to the army, you must go to Vienna. However, from Bonn to Vienna, it is more than 800 kilometers away.

Marin is now focused on this, and he also carries a huge knight lance. Although Carl is a good horse, but the weight is so big, you can only walk more than 160 km a day, stop and go, or you can't afford it.

In fact, the average plate knight, when the expedition, will bring 5 attendants to help themselves with armor and knight lances. Before the war, he was also responsible for putting the plate on the knight and putting the knight on the horse. Also Marin he has no plate armor, otherwise,

'I can't put it myself".

Marin calculated that he had to go to Vienna at least for ten days. And the less than 1,000 Finney left in his hand is not enough. Because, he lives, eats and drinks, about 15 Finney a day (usually about 5 Finney is a meal, it's not bad to eat). And the damn war horse Carl, eat more than him, eat 10 Finney's feed a day.

The horses are very delicate. If you let the horses eat the grass and don't make up the body for the feed, you may not be able to wear the heavy armor. Because, the horse's feed, mainly oatmeal (Europe, there is no soybean in this era, soybeans are still in East Asia and India, it will be introduced to Europe in the 18th century). These things are relatively expensive in medieval Europe, where agriculture is backward...

Marin was not a person who took a ticket and then sat on the mountain of gold. In order to arrive in Vienna smoothly, Marin decided to try hunting along the way to improve his life.

In fact, whether it is the later Marin or the current Marlin, it is a strong bow that can pull 100 pounds of pull. Needless to say, Marin in later generations is a strong rural youth, and there is no shortage of farm work, so the strength is great.

Marin of this world, although only 16 years old, but also received the martial arts training of the knight from a young age, the strength is not small, it is possible to use a 100-pound strong bow.

However, Marin knows that a strong bow like the English longbow is good for adults. If you have such a strong bow in your youth, it is easy to cause deformation of the posterior spine. For example, later generations have verified that some medieval English long-bow archers have been deformed because they have been trained to strengthen the bow.

Marin's current body is still a growing 16-year-old boy. He didn't want to have a long bow because of the use of a strong bow. Therefore, he chose a 60-pound ordinary recurve bow as his hunting weapon.

However, the original Marin's memory did not have the use of bows and arrows, and later Marin was only familiar with the English longbow. Therefore, it took Marin several days to become familiar with the use of the recurve bow.

After testing, the effective range of this recurve bow is within 100 meters. However, the distance that can be aimed is only about 50 meters. It may not be enough to kill the enemy, but it is enough for hunting.

Familiar with the use of the recurve bow, Marin left Bonn, hurrying in the direction of Vienna, and began to use the recurve bow to hunt...

But what made Marin so depressed was that he hadn't hit the prey for a long time...

Why is this? Very simple, Marin is so embarrassed, because he want to learn Mongolian cavalry style tactic, come and shoot.

Speaking of it, Marin's shooting, put it into modern point of view, is very good. Can shoot prey in the forest, the arrow method is also OK.

But that is on the ground...

Moreover, Marin is used to hunt, is generally with a bow and arrow, quietly went into the forest, seeing unprepared prey, the sneak attack succeeded. This is basically equivalent to shooting a fixed target. For high-speed moving prey, Marlin's hit rate is actually not high.

And riding while shooting the arrow immediately... Hey, he's all tears when it's said...

Sitting on the car in the immediate and future generations is a completely different concept. The car has shock absorbers and the road is flat. And riding, but it's bumping up and down...

Therefore, Marin, who wants to play and shoot, is aiming at the prey, but the horse is on the next bump, and the arrow is immediately hitting the tree...

Moreover, he rode a horse, and the sound of the horseshoe inevitably alerted the prey, causing the small animals to flee in advance. Marin is only a target for shooting fixed targets. For small animals moving at high speeds, there are some tricks.

For seven days in a row, Marin failed to hit a prey by riding a shot. Fortunately, he sold some red deer before he saved, otherwise he must starve to death. Similarly, it is because of a little savings that he dares to play like this.

"It's not easy to ride a shot!" Marlin looked sad.

Think about it too, the Huns and the Mongols, who started riding the sheep on the slingshot when they were five years old. When you grow up, it is basically equivalent to practicing riding for more than ten years. Even so, the "old driver" who has been practicing for more than ten years does not dare to say that riding on a high-speed running horse can stably shoot the prey in running, let alone this newbie?

Therefore, although the riding is handsome, it relies on many years of hard work and some talents to master. For Marin's half-baked, Mongolian style shooting is basically like gambling probability, the prey that he shot, he is the unlucky one that hits the trees...
