The effective shooting range of bows and arrows is within fifty steps, which means that within fifty steps, they can shoot people and shoot people to death through leather armor. The effective shooting range of bows and crossbows is larger, but this does not mean that the bows and arrows cannot shoot people to death outside two hundred steps, but they do not have the right head to shoot, and rely on cover shooting. Of course, if you wear armor, you must not shoot people to death outside two hundred steps.

The Han army had a high armor rate and many cases of using bows and crossbows. However, this was only during the Western Han Dynasty. It was only for the Han army that the princes rebelled. Are the soldiers recruited serious Han soldiers?

no.

The soldiers recruited or recruited by the rebel princes were at most temporary soldiers or counties and state soldiers. However, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was in office, he had already "stopped the county soldiers". Except for the soldiers under the county magistrate, there were basically no Han soldiers in each county.

The princes of various vassals recruited 200,000 to 300,000 troops. If they followed the Han Dynasty's practice, they would definitely have to be equipped with military armor and weapons. If Liu Xiu had not "stopped the county soldiers" back then, the counties and states could still preserve a large amount of military armor, but after the "stopped the county soldiers", could the counties and states still preserve so many military armors?

impossible.

The purpose of Liu Xiu's abolition of the county soldiers was to save financial expenditure and strengthen control over the counties and states. After the counties and states did not have a large number of county soldiers, the corresponding control of the Luoyang court would be greatly strengthened.

The early Eastern Han Dynasty was established, and the court was in financial difficulties. The eighth battalions of the Northern Army during the Western Han Dynasty were merged into the fifth battalions, and the Southern Army was directly abolished. The regular army in Luoyang had only thousands of Northern Army and five battalions. Including the twelve city gates, the guards in the palace only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If the county and states were not "stopped the county soldiers", they would still allow the counties and states to retain hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Western Han Dynasty. What if the county and state rebelled?

The "Zhongyang" army in the Western Han Dynasty was reduced from 100,000 to 10,000. Liu Xiu was neither stupid nor stupid. How could he not cut off the troops of the counties and states? How could he allow the counties and state arsenals to retain inmeasurable weapons reserves?

The "country and state soldiers" are not all but abandoned. Some prefectures and counties near the "Qianghu and Hu" must also retain some military equipment to deal with the sudden outbreak of the "Qianghu and Hu". Such as the southern captain of Longxi County, the northern captain of Yizhou, the western captain of Jincheng County, etc., such as the Sanbaidu Fort, Weidao, and Fufeng County in Changshan County, and some military equipment also need to retain some military equipment in these semi-military places.

The soldiers recruited by various princes cannot be considered as members of the "Han soldiers". Even if the court needs to recruit, these 200,000 to 300,000 troops still need to be equipped with standard equipment for Han soldiers. If they are equipped by various counties and states, then the quality is not to be mentioned. At least in a short time, it is impossible to have a large number of strong crossbows and armor. If these prohibited things are made privately, they will be cut off their heads, and they will not be equipped without Han soldiers.

As for the future...

They all became princes. As long as they had money, grain and craftsmen, they would do whatever they wanted. But now, in a short time, it was impossible for them to equip 200,000 to 300,000 troops from the treasury of each county.

There is no harm without comparison. Until I saw a group of Qiang cavalry carrying longbows, big yellow crossbows, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others realize the seriousness of the problem. The damn Lintao child actually has the support of the entire arsenal.

"Benchu, why don't you... go back to Kaifeng first?"

Liu Dai was scared. After seeing the cavalry fighting with his own eyes, he was really scared.

Zhang Miao regretted it. Just as he was about to speak, a long horn sound suddenly came into the battlefield. Everyone was shocked and looked into the distance. Countless smoke and dust appeared, and a long long banner with a long "Dong" character appeared.

Countless horse hooves roared, thousands of horses and horses appeared on the earth slope, and countless iron cavalry gushed out, spreading towards their wings... It was even larger than the military formation of 100,000 people, just like the arms of an invisible giant...

"Beat the drum—"

The sudden roar scared everyone and looked at the furious Cao Cao.

"Beat the drum—"

Cao Cao roared again, and suddenly stepped forward, kicking the naked man aside.

"boom!"

"Boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The war drums of the sky exploded into the sky, and countless war drums roared, and the originally turbulent military formation gradually became quiet.

"Boom boom boom..."

I don’t know which one started, but the spear in his hand hit the ground heavily, countless soldiers hit the ground with "boom" and countless swords and shields hit the shield, and the momentum of the sky was incredible.

Dong Hu suddenly stopped the war horse two hundred steps away from the front of the formation. Although he didn't want to admit it, he admired Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and actually turned a group of miscellaneous soldiers into the power of the Han soldiers.

"Hei Niu, be prepared, don't lose the face of our Liangzhou people."

"promise!"

Sun Niu turned around to sort out his troops, infantry riding donkeys and mules into the battlefield.

Dong Hu had already scanned the enemy's military formation when he was on the high slope. It was indeed a serious turtle shell formation, but he didn't care much and came to the formation alone for a hundred steps.

"Brother Meng De——"

"Our tiger baby came to fight, would you come out and talk—"

Dong Hu roared angrily and before Cao Cao could kick him, he rushed out with anger.

"No cowards—"

"Wen Chou is here to kill you-"

The horse was fast, Wen Chou ran towards Dong Hu, who was both in the arms and horses. Seeing this scene, Dong Chong, Dong Ju and others were furious and were about to kick the horse to help the battle, but he saw Dong Hu just waved his hand back and slapped Dama A Chou's neck. He did not kick the horse like others, and even pulled out the two hanging iron spears. He was like a scared person, and he was stunned and stretched his neck and asked someone to chop it.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chou became even more furious. While running at a high speed, the sword rotated back and forth between his waist to increase his power and strength...

"die--"

With a roar, Ah Chou ran in an instant, moving from stillness, and in just a moment he blessed the horse's speed to the maximum, facing the big knife that was slashed at the head.

"Bang!"

Everyone suddenly stretched their necks, and Liu Sheng's palms were covered in sweat, but there was no flash of blood as imagined, and there was no loud noise from the blade slashing on the heavy armor.

No one expected that Dong Hu would actually grab the big knife that was half cut with his bare hands.

"drink--"

Driven by the war horse, Wen Chou pulled him off the war horse.

"Bang!"

The smoke and dust filled the air, and countless people were in agitation. Just as Dong Hu was holding a big sword and was about to jump off the war horse, there was another roar of anger behind him.

"Don't be rampant-"

Yan Liang rushed out of the military formation with a big sword and roared wildly at Dong Hu.

"Yan Liang is here to kill you-"

"die--"

Yan Liang was furious, fearing that Dong Hu would kill Wen Chou by wielding his sword, and kicking the war horse and raising the sword would make him thunder slash.

"when--"

The two of them fought hard, and then waited for Dong Hu to turn the horse's head and fight again. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang drew a curve and lowered his body to lift Wen Chou up.

"Walk!"

Just as Dong Hu was furious, he obviously looked down on himself, and was about to raise his sword to chase him...

"Don't leave, thief-"

"Wu'anguo comes to fight--"

Wu Anguo, holding a sledgehammer, kicked the war horse and ran out, and there were two more generals.

"Dong Hu don't be crazy, Cao Ren comes to fight-"

"Yu Jin came—"

Seeing this scene, how could Dong Chong resist?

"kill--"

Dong Chong roared, three thousand heavy armored cavalry kicking war horses, all holding heavy cavalry spears and heavy cavalry shields. Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were all shocked.

"Sing the gong...Shoot the gong--"

"kill--"

Dong Hu also exclaimed, threw away the big knife, instantly pulled out two iron spears, and went to Wu'anguo point towards him.

"Dangdang."

After two consecutive blows, the force of the hammer deflected, and a spear stabbed Wu'anguo in the chest. Wu'anguo was shocked and instinctively wanted to grab the iron spear that was stabbed by the chest.

"puff."

A scream came from behind. Dong Hu didn't even look at it. He was about to face Cao Ren who was coming from left and right. Yu Jin, but Cao Ren turned his horse and fled.

Dong Hu did not expect it, and Yu Jin also did not expect that when he was about to fight with all his might, Cao Ren suddenly fled. Yu Jin didn't know whether to fight or escape...

"puff!"

Dong Hu did not hesitate at all. While Yu Jin was stunned, he stabbed the man with a spear and felt heartbroken. Without any hesitation, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the periphery. As he raised his spear, countless heavy armored cavalry that had already started to run could not help but slow down. He followed him in a arc and ran without directly rushing to the formation.

The function of the heavy armored cavalry is to rush into the formation, but it depends on the situation. If the heavy carriage blocks the road, it will not be mentioned. A tower shield that is more than one person tall can not be knocked away by the heavy armored cavalry. Dong Hu has not gone crazy yet with his own elite to hit the meaningless tower shield.

The rumbling cavalry drew a curve and returned to the front of the two armies...

"Brother, those bastards don't follow the rules, let's just say nothing to them? Just start fighting!"

Dong Chong was extremely angry. The eldest brother came forward with kind words, but he actually returned the shameless fight and a group fight.

All the generals had a gloomy face, and Dong Hu was also a little annoyed. Didn’t what he saw on TV that both sides first cursed each other in front of the battlefield and then the two sides fought against each other?

Why is it my turn? Before I could speak, I had to siege myself as soon as I came up, and I felt annoyed in my heart. I kicked forward again, and more than ten armored generals followed behind, fearing that my elder brother would be surprised again.

"Cao Aman——"

"If you don't follow the rules, don't even think about letting me follow the rules. Let's see who is unlucky-"

Dong Hu cursed a few times in anger, then turned around and left.

"Use a car...use a tower shield..."

"Let's just look at their cars and whether the tower shield can block our fire attack!"

Dong Hu snorted coldly.
