Chapter 995： Teach old black riding shot

This strong Mao Gongmao named Putinsky (well, changed to Putinsky, the author is afraid of being chased by the emperor) was originally a Cossack living on the prairie of Eastern Europe. From an early age, he lost his parents and was adopted by a Tatar Cossack.

His adoptive father is a traditional Tatar-superb riding, good at riding and shooting. Under the guidance of his adoptive father, Putinski learned to ride a sheep from an early age and grew up with superb riding skills. And more than ten years of experience have made his riding and shooting level very high, and became the first warrior in that Cossack village.

Unfortunately, their village happily encountered an attack by thousands of Crimean cavalry. The soldiers in the village had only dozens of soldiers. Putinsky fought bravely against the Crimean Tatar cavalry, but the horse was shot down by the Crimean tatar cavalry, and then he was wounded, captured, and humiliated Became a grandfather ...

These days, Putinski has basically come here in a mess. After losing the man's important things, he became desperate and almost lost the courage to live.

But after arriving in Senegal and seeing the familiar prairie, Putinski finally relieved himself. He knew that it couldn't be so decadent anymore. After all, he was less than 30 years old, and he could not just die in obscurity. So he decided to prove his worth ...

Obviously, he succeeded. Because of his brilliant performance, Putinski was valued by Eschwein, the head of the Senegal Fur Company. As a result, Eschwein appointed Pukinsky as the captain of the cavalry, and led the 60 grandfathers who were good at riding and shooting.

As for the remaining 59 Mao Gonggongs, Eschwein also checked in and found that their riding and shooting levels are also very good, but they are almost worse than Pudinsky.

After the formation of the Cavalry was successful, the next day, Eschwein sent them to try to use a shot to deal with rhinos and elephants.

It's just that the skin of the rhino is too hard, and 60 Mao Gong spent a long time to kill a rhino, which is very inefficient. Moreover, the shooting of the rhino was due to Putinsky shooting an arrow into the rhino's nostril, and he finally got the rhino.

As for elephants, 60 Mao Gonggong have managed to get a few elephants in half a day. This is because the elephant has a high chassis, which is very suitable for riding, and the grandfathers on horseback aim at archery. Like shooting rhinos, elephants die mainly from arrows in their heads. It is almost impossible to shoot an elephant's body with a bow and arrow and hit the heart. Fortunately, the elephant's face is big and the chassis is tall, so it is easier to aim, and the elephant skin is thicker but softer. Otherwise, it is difficult to shoot.

After the end of the attempt, the bow cavalry captain Putinski proposed-a stronger bow and heavy arrows are needed. The bows and arrows they use now are ordinary bows donated by the Crimeans. They are no problem for shooting antelopes. They can be used for shooting thick-skinned elephants. Otherwise, 60 of them did not shoot a few elephants in the afternoon. Therefore, Putinski asked for a more powerful bow and a heavy-duty special arrow with bloodletting grooves for elephants.

As for his request, Eschwein certainly agreed. Because the production of bows and arrows is much simpler than steel ball bullets. In Europe, there are still many masters of bows and arrows. As long as the order is placed, there will be sufficient supply. Moreover, if the steel ball bombs fly, it is difficult to recycle after falling into the grass soil. Bows and arrows are easier to recycle and reuse. After all, the arrow's target is relatively large and easy to retrieve.

...

Seeing that the arch cavalry composed of 60 Mao Gonggongs led by Putinsky had taken shape, Eschwein found the Chief of the Dakar tribe, Maghan, and introduced them to them. Eschwein did not forget Marin's order, and the introduction of this group of Mao's father-in-law was to help the local black natives become stronger.

In front of Chief Maghan, Putinski showed a superb level of riding and shooting, and straightened Maghan's eyes. Then, Maghan decisively asked Putinski and others to teach his tribal warriors riding skills.

Before this, the weapons used by local blacks for hunting were mainly javelins, but also earthen javelins with stone spearheads. The javelin's hit is naturally far worse than the bow and arrow. Moreover, the range is much worse.

Generally speaking, local aborigines want to hunt, they must be grouped out. Because, the effective range of the javelin is generally within 20 meters. No matter how far away, it is hard to hit. The animals on the grassland run so fast, it is more difficult to hit. Therefore, local indigenous people usually need someone to hunt, drive the prey to the range of the javelin thrower, and then throw. But even so, the hit rate is still not high.

In fact, at close range, the javelin is more lethal than the bow and arrow. Especially for heavy javelins, the kinetic energy is great after the projection. Even rhinos and elephants can't resist it. Of course, the heavy javelin mentioned here is a javelin with a metal spearhead, not a stone spearhead javelin of the local indigenous people.

However, there is a big problem with using javelins to kill rhinos and elephants-that is, low hit rate and difficulty in escape ...

If you can't do a kill with one blow, using a javelin to kill the rhinoceros will definitely anger the rhinoceros. Once the black rhino starts to run wild, rushing over to meet people, it will definitely cause very heavy casualties.

The same is true for elephants. Once the javelin starts to project, it will definitely anger the elephant herd. If they are rushed over and trampled by several male elephants, it will also cause serious casualties.

Generally speaking, even if there are Lao Hei who used a javelin to shoot elephants in later generations, they are generally aimed at elephants who have been left alone. If the target group is used, it is easy to irritate the elephant group. Lao Hei, who walked in the prairie, could not run but the elephant ran up. Once he was caught up, he was trampled on the ground.

Of course, if you gather thousands of black uncles, each holding a javelin, you can also deal with elephant herds. The main operation method is to frighten the elephant group first and let the elephant group run away. Then, focus on the old elephant that fell on the back. For example, the army of the Mali Empire and the Songhai Empire ~ www.novelhall.com ~ did just that.

However, this requires too many people, and the general tribe simply cannot make up so many warriors. If there are few people, you can't scare the elephants, and you might be killed again.

Therefore, for tribes with few people, using bows and arrows with long range and high accuracy is the most correct choice.

If you use a bow and arrow, it doesn't matter if you miss your hand and anger the elephant. Big deal, run away on a horse. Anyway, if the elephant is so fat, it must be no better than Bobby Horse. When the elephant can no longer run, the bow cavalry can catch up with another fierce shot, and there is always a chance of hitting the elephant. In this way, you can also complete the hunting of elephants and obtain precious ivory. Of course, elephant skin and elephant meat are also available. However, elephant meat is not delicious. For example, in later generations, poachers generally killed elephants and walked away after getting ivory. No one made elephant meat. Obviously, elephant meat is not tasty. But for these African natives, some food is not bad, so many are so sophisticated? The elephant skin, the processed elephant skin is thick and soft, can be used as a sofa skin, can also be used as a table and chair leather cushion.

Of course, Chief Maghan thought too simple. Those black uncles who are used to bidding guns suddenly let them switch to practice shooting, not too difficult.

Whether it is riding or archery, it is not so easy, it is more difficult to combine. Therefore, when picking apprentices, Putinsky and others chose those teenagers more than the adults. Because adults have poor learning abilities, there is no future. Those teenagers in their twenties are more malleable and easier to learn to ride and archery, and eventually master the combined strength of riding and archery—riding and arching. Moreover, this process will be very long, at least a few years, or even a dozen years.
