Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

What can Hu Yanzhuo say?

I can only smile bitterly and call these generals at the level of ten thousand households and all commanders to join the ranks.

can only be the head of the capital or the head of the team, and the original command system will not be disrupted.

Three thousand armored iron horsemen were divided into three formations, each with less than a thousand people, and nearly a thousand people were separated from the two wings to deal with the rangers and foot soldiers.

There were two thousand in the middle and a column of seven hundred people, and the queue was less than two miles away.

This is already quite intensive.

With the exception of the commanders on either side of the queue, the distance between all armored horsemen was not allowed to exceed one meter.

That is, the left elbow can touch the left knight's right elbow, and the right elbow can touch the left elbow of the right knight.

is qualified.

The first formation was all armed with long-mounted spears five meters and five long.

Generally speaking, the Song-made spear is less than three meters, and about two meters two is already the most commonly used military standard spear.

At this length, several types of marksmanship are derived.

Different types of troops use different weapons, which also derives different tactics and systems.

Even different militaristic systems, derived from different arms and tactics.

Ancient Chinese weapons, if the tribal period is made of stone, stone knives, stone axes, stone spears.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period was dominated by bronze weapons, and that era was not about how many troops there were, but about military vehicles.

After all, there are no stirrups, pure cavalry has not yet appeared, and Yidi's combat effectiveness is pitiful, and he does not have the strength to threaten the Central Plains Dynasty at all.

The Qin State was originally a low-ranking nobleman who put horses for Zhou Tianzi, and later released horses for Zhou Tianzi, and by the way, he drove out the Di people in the west, so as to make a fortune and become one of the powerful countries.

At that time, the powerful country paid attention to how many military vehicles there were.

After all, without cavalry, military vehicles have become a big killer on the battlefield.

And so it is.

The chariot had a driver, an attacker with a long ge, and an archer who was responsible for archery.

Assault, assassination, ranged both.

And the military vehicles are definitely much more stable than the war horses, dozens and hundreds of military vehicles are rushing side by side, so there is no need to mention the might.

So at that time, the measure of national strength was to talk about how many military vehicles there were.

The so-called country of a hundred times, a big country of a thousand times.

A country has 1,000 military vehicles and a standing army of at least more than 10,000 troops, and it was fully qualified to dominate in the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period.

Later, there was even the so-called country of ten thousand times.

But at that time, it was not far from eliminating the military vehicles.

Although there were still military vehicles until the Han Dynasty, they were basically just engaged in the existence of logistics or logistics.

Military vehicles are extremely demanding on the battlefield.

It is not a plain area, a place full of ravines and shrubs that cannot be put on a battlefield.

So you can only fight after the battle.

Why Song Xianggong didn't hit Bandu is also because the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period are like that.

The two sides set up a car formation, called each other a battle, counted each other not morality, did not respect the Son of Heaven, and then the princes were also in the array, Qing, doctors, scholars, and rushed to the enemy formation with the princes, one side won, one side lost, and morality was on the winner's side.

Hit the half-crossing, what kind of morality are you talking about?

Isn't that a "thief"?

Rush up, just cut people and win.

Therefore, it is not clear for later generations to ridicule Song Xianggong.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, civilians were not conscripted to participate in battles, but at most served as auxiliaries, responsible for logistics in various armies.

It is the nobles who really go up and drive into battle, wielding a sword and slashing people!

That's right, civilians are not eligible!

This is very similar to that of Europe around the Middle Ages.

It's even about the same as the samurai class of the Wa Kingdom.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the reality of the time was revealed behind the various rules.

What "a gentleman is not seriously injured" and "do not catch two hairs" were the rules at that time.

Why is there driving skills and archery in the "Six Arts of Gentlemen"?

These are all essential skills for chariot soldiers, and they are also essential skills for nobles at that time!

In other words, it is the skills that the nobility and the aristocratic periphery, that is, the "gentlemen" must master.

The people who went to the battlefield were all nobles from various countries, and they were related to each other, and their ancestors were either surnamed Ji, or they had been married.

Can you really kill a river of blood?

Whether it is the Duke of Qi Xiang, as well as the Duke of Zheng Zhuang, the King of Chuzhuang, the Duke of Jin Wen, and the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, symbolically fight a few battles, destroy a few small countries within a range of a few hundred miles, and then make a big alliance, and the hegemony will be achieved.

The main force is the chariot dominated by the nobility, and the war is affected by the terrain, the scale will not be too large, and it will not be too tragic.

After the Song Xianggong, it was the time when Confucius called the real etiquette collapsed.

War horses appeared on a large scale, cavalry emerged on a large scale, the scale of warfare became larger and larger, weapons became more and more sophisticated, and the army became more and more specialized and professional.

The Qin State is a soldier of all the people, the Zhao State is a cavalry and archery, and the Wei State has an elite professional strong soldier Wei Wushu, and all countries are working hard to completely eliminate each other, rather than recognizing a hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, the form of war, weapons, and troops have undergone complete changes, the so-called morality, the so-called "rites", in fact, the old order is of course completely broken.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the development of cavalry was also the peak of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then gradually declined.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, even the most commonly used soft-pole horse lance for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty could not be made, and the cavalry was more like mounted infantry, and only a few elites could fight and shoot on horseback.

For example, the armored iron cavalry and the long cavalry spear used in front of him could not be made by the Song army at least.

When charging in a cavalry formation and hedging with horses, if you really use force, as in film and television dramas, both sides are desperately stabbing each other when hedging, then the only result is that both sides have broken their wrists. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Both the East and the West are working on weapons.

Western-style spears break when hedged to absorb shock.

Dongfang uses a more flexible lance and then masters certain techniques when hedging to reduce damage.

But the problem is that the manufacturing process of horse lance and other horse war weapons is complex and the time is very long, and it takes at least two or three years to manufacture a high-grade horse lance, and then it takes a long time of training and actual combat experience to use horse lance to fight horses.

Therefore, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the horse lance was the mainstream in the army, and there were many generals and ministers who were good at using the lance.

But after the early Tang Dynasty, Ma Lance gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

By the time of the Great Song Dynasty, the horse lance was completely gone.

After all, from manufacturing to use, the threshold is too high.

Liangshan's armored iron cavalry, because it has to bear the task of beating horses and hedging, crushing the enemy.

Compared to heavy infantry, light cavalry, and ordinary cuirassiers, armored iron cavalry has the ability to charge into battle and completely crush the enemy.

The long cavalry spears of the first formation were the most important.

It is nearly six meters long, and when it is erected in mid-air, it looks like a forest of spears, giving people an extremely strong sense of awe.

Compared with the Song army's spears of more than two meters or various heavy weapons, it is also completely crushed in length.

When the charge breaks through the formation, the impact and damage brought by the absolute length are not at all the same order of magnitude as the "short" weapon on the opposite side.

One inch long, one inch strong, that's the truth.

And it is not difficult to master the long riding spear, and it is easy to manufacture, just a one-time consumable.

Once hedged, the hollow breaks and is thrown away.

Then use the ring-headed sword, ride the crossbow and continue the battle.

The long beryllium hand in the second row, under the premise that the speed is not very high, continues to hedge with horses, and uses the long beryllium to break the formation again. []
