Chapter 439: Bladeless Arrow(1/2)

The rebels, with the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, have roughly surrounded part of the Yellow Turbans.

In the encircled circle, there are still people running from time to time.

I don't know who's little baby got lost with the adults. It cried and ran away without caring.

Deterrence is useful for people who know fear. If a nail is nailed to their feet with a chirping sound, ten adults will be frightened and dare not run around anymore. But for children who do not know fear, hearing the sound of chirping will make them cry.

Although it is more powerful, it does not stop while running.

Even though the ferocious cavalry deliberately stepped in front of him and blocked him, whipping his horse whip in the air, the little child still ran away. No matter how the cavalry tried to scare or drive him away, the child walked around the horse and kept jumping around with his short legs.

Seeing that the children could not stop him, the cavalrymen were helpless.

There was a military order, and it had been strictly ordered before the war that whoever kills children should beheaded. The cavalry did not dare to actually hurt the children with swords and guns, so they could only stop them on horseback.

At this time, some bad chain reactions were triggered. The soldiers who were surrounded and retreated because they could not escape, so they all behaved honestly. However, when they saw a little baby running out in front of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers did not care, and the soldiers retreated.

They were immediately ready to move again.

The cavalrymen didn't care about the children. If the Yellow Turban soldiers wanted to escape, they would have to make two choices.

Seeing that the defeated soldiers were in a commotion and wanted to run away, the cavalrymen immediately fired several arrows at the crowd without hesitation.

The arrows flew into the crowd with a roar, and there was a burst of screams. After a round of arrows, the defeated soldiers suddenly became honest.

The cavalrymen used buzzing arrows to shoot at people. Tao's arrows were not sharp and were not good at shooting people. They only hurt people but did not kill them.

It's not that the cavalry were kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt anyone, but the bows were equipped with a dynamite. It was troublesome to change the arrows, so they simply shot the dynamite directly.

Another tactic was practiced in actual combat.

In another time and space, riot police would load their weapons with rubber bullets so that they could shoot people with rubber bullets when necessary.

In terms of the ability to calm down the crowd and bring order, rubber bullets are stronger than live bullets - if the live bullets are fired into the air, the sound of the gunfire will be terrifying and have a deterrent effect. But if the crowd is more chaotic, the deterrent effect of a blank gun will not be enough.

At this time, there are two situations, one is shooting people with real bullets, and the other is shooting people with rubber bullets.

Live ammunition shooting will cause a large number of casualties, and then the crowd will be frightened. The nervous and panicked crowd will make the order even more chaotic.

The rubber bullet has a strong deterrent effect when hitting people and will not cause extreme tension and panic in the crowd, so it can limit chaos.

Nowadays, the cavalry use the hammer to shoot at people. The arrows are very powerful. Even if the tip of the arrow is not very sharp, it can still injure people.

The method of using thunder to deter the enemy was proposed by Guan Yu and perfected by Li Mengxi. Ideas outside the battlefield will always be somewhat different from reality in actual combat.

Before the war, what Li Mengxi thought of was to shoot the deserters in front of them. This would not hurt anyone and would also have a deterrent effect.

However, if you don't shoot at people, but if you shoot slightly, the target will be far away from the target, and it is not as strong as a direct shot on the target.

Li Mengxi, who followed, saw the cavalry shooting people with disprosium. Li Mengxi originally felt it was a pity, and several more people died.

However, the person with the dysprosium in his body squealed a few times, but it was nothing serious and he was still alive and kicking.

Li Mengxi was surprised. Then he thought that the hammer arrows were not lethal enough, and then he suddenly thought of rubber bullets.

Shooting someone with a loud bang is ten times more powerful than shooting someone in an open space.

Having learned this bit of knowledge on the battlefield, this trip has been worthwhile.

Perhaps we can ask the potters to change the shape of the hammer and make the arrows flat and round. In this way, even if the hammer is fired directly at people, it will not cause death, but will only cause severe pain, which becomes a perfect deterrent.

arms.

But this raises another problem. If an arrow wants to fly far, it must basically conform to a streamlined shape. If the arrow becomes round or flat, there is no doubt that it is no longer streamlined. The resistance during the flight of the arrow

It will become bigger and the arrow will not be able to fly far.

So, I have a question, does the sounding arrow need a range?

If it is an arrow in actual combat, there is no doubt that range is very important.

However, most of the usage environment of Mingdy is just to listen to its sound. For example, the three armies agreed to use the sounding arrow as the signal, and once the sounding arrow is fired, the three armies will go out in unison, and so on.

In this situation, as long as the sounding arrow can sound, the range is not important at all. Therefore, the range reduction caused by the sharp increase in wind resistance due to the sounding arrow becoming blunt has no impact.

Mingdi comes from the grassland hero Maodun Chanyu. In order to seize power, Maodun specially made a sounding arrow, and then ordered his soldiers to shoot the sounding arrow wherever they went. Others must also shoot arrows there. Anyone who disobeys the order will die.

Train a group of soldiers who obey his orders.

Then, one day during the banquet, Mao Dun suddenly shot the old Chanyu with a loud arrow. Mao Dun's soldiers did not hesitate and immediately bent their bows and shot too.

In an instant, before others realized what happened, the old Chanyu was dead. The position of Chanyu changed hands from then on.

From this actual use case, it can be seen that the dynamite has a guiding effect similar to that of a signal flare, and the dynamite can be used to guide and direct the actions of the troops.

Maodun Shanyu shot the sounding arrow himself, and then ordered the soldiers to shoot in the direction of the sounding arrow. This is a usage, but it may not be of much use.

The prairie people are loosely disciplined and have great talent. They can use the method of gathering soldiers with the sound of thunder, allowing ten or hundreds of undisciplined prairie people to shoot at the same place, which greatly improves the coordinated combat capability of the prairie cavalry.

However, on the battlefield, there are people shouting and horses neighing, the noise is noisy, and one person in Maodun is shouting dysprosium, and everyone can still distinguish it. However, if the captains also use the whistle to guide the soldiers, the soldiers may not be able to quickly distinguish who is going.

No matter where I shot, there would be beeping sounds on the left and right, and the beeps would be pointing, which means there would be no direction.

Therefore, Maodun Shanyu's tactics are useful in small-scale battles with mounted archers, but they are definitely not suitable for coordinating the entire army in large-scale battles.

The buzzing dynasty has a command function, and combined with what he saw on the battlefield, the cavalry shot the buzzing dysprosium directly at people, so Li Mengxi came up with a special use of the buzzing dysprosium-shooting people with the buzzing dysprosium.

The difference is that Maodun Shanyu shot the enemy to guide the attack direction, while Li Mengxi thought of shooting his own people to quickly convey the order.

On the battle formation, those who conveyed combat orders to each centurion were known to Li Mengxi as the messenger cavalry.

The steps for conveying orders on the battlefield are as follows. When the general wants to order a hundred troops to advance forward, he conveys the order to the ordering soldiers who are waiting for orders. The ordering soldiers include cavalry and infantry, and then the cavalry or infantry are ordered to move towards the direction of the order.

The hundred-man team ran away.

When the cavalry arrived at their destination, they shouted to the centurions behind the fighting formation to attack forward.

Sometimes, the manpower may be severely damaged, and officers at the level of centurions have already gone into battle with swords and filled in the front line.

The centurion may not hear the cavalry shouting from behind the formation, and the soldiers behind him must convey the orders one by one.

Then, the order was successfully transmitted, and the centurion accepted the order and executed it.

In this way of delivering orders on the battlefield, there is a delay in the order from the moment the messenger leaves the commander's side until he arrives at the location. The amount of delay is the amount of time it takes the messenger to get on his way.

Sometimes, the battle situation is chaotic, and the cavalry delivering the order will even be blocked by the mess of people, unable to get close to the centurion, and thus unable to convey orders to the centurion. At this time, the commander will not be able to make precise decisions on the hundred-man combat unit.

command.

The usage of Mingdi that Li Mengxi thought of is here.

As we all know, the speed of arrows is much faster than that of horses. So, if you want to order a centurion to attack forward, you can ask a good archer to aim at the centurion's head with a thunderbolt and shoot an arrow at it.

Injury? No, the ring head is specially made round. If it is shot at the centurion's head from a distance, it will only hit the helmet with a clang.

As for the Centurion not being able to hear it, it is even more impossible. The Ming Dy was specifically aimed at the Centurion and shot. If the shot hit, the Ming Dy would ring in the Centurion's ears. If the shot missed, it would also fall around the Centurion and he would be killed.

Other soldiers in the same team heard it and reported back.

Hundreds of people gather together, a large number of people, the target is huge, and the shot will not miss.

If a sharpshooter is specially selected as a warden, it will be possible to issue orders to the right point in a few breaths at a distance of a hundred steps.

On the battle formation, two orders of advance and retreat for the infantry formation are enough. If you hear the "dy" sound, you will advance. If you hear the "dy" sound again, you will stop. If you hear the third sound, you will advance again. And so on. This binary command is enough.

Compared with the horse-riding messengers who deliver orders, it takes only three seconds for the arrows to travel for ten seconds, which shortens the order transmission time by three times.

Furthermore, sometimes the battlefield is chaotic, and the ordering soldiers are blocked by the corpses, the crowds, the chaotic carriages and horses, and the ordering soldiers may not be able to push forward, but Mingdi will not be restricted by the battlefield environment. A hundred steps away, the ordering soldiers are on horseback.

Standing down from a high position, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow. Across the chaotic battlefield, he glanced slightly into the distance and fired the shot a hundred steps away with a chirp, transmitting military orders instantly.

If the command speed at all levels on the battlefield is three times faster, the response will be three times faster, and the adaptability will be stronger than that of the enemy. For me, using the fast to fight the slow has a huge advantage.

Mingdy is a method of transmitting information at the speed of an arrow. Its accuracy can accurately reach an individual centurion within five seconds across a chaotic battlefield, because it can quickly and accurately convey advance and retreat orders to a hundred people.

team level, so precise command down to the centurion level becomes possible.

If the whistle is not used, the speed of order transmission will be slow, and the speed of order transmission cannot keep up with the changes in the situation on the battlefield. It is meaningless to be precise enough to command the centurion level. We can only settle for the second best. The commander can only command a team of 500 people at a minimum.

scale.

Or because of the speed of information transmission, even in ancient times, it was actually possible to transmit information to a single soldier - as long as time and cost-effectiveness were not considered.

This can be done by ordering the soldiers to leave from the rear formation and return to the fighting front. It takes a long time to find individual soldiers and then issue orders.

However, due to the slow transmission efficiency, it is not cost-effective to convey orders to individual soldiers.

At what point does it become cost-effective to issue orders to a single soldier? There is no doubt that if every soldier on the battlefield can be ordered in real time, then an army of ten thousand people can be commanded like five fingers. Its command ability will surpass all ancient wars.

Famous general.

Timely command of every soldier on the battlefield is not possible unless every soldier has a portable radio.

The convenience of information transmission is directly proportional to the degree of refinement of command.

What is convenience? Efficiency. What is efficiency? Speed.

The arrow speed is three times that of a war horse, and it can ignore obstacles. There is no doubt that shooting the centurion's head with a thunderous disprosium may be the fastest way to convey orders on the ancient battlefield.

All that is needed is to have the enemy sound the Dysprosium signal, plus some messengers who are good at shooting, and a little training so that the soldiers can react correctly to the Dysprosium signal. That is enough.

The significance of using Wufeng Mingdi is not limited to this.

When using Feng Ming Dy, how should it be used?
