It takes at least a few months to train a qualified archer, and if you want to build a strong team of archers, you can't do it without a year or two.Of course, the strong and qualified archers mentioned here are not only male soldiers, and the advantage of male soldiers over female soldiers is nothing more than a large departure, being able to pull a strong bowstring, and shooting a longer effective distance, which is also a major advantage of archers.However, since ancient times, manpower has become wealth, and under the same conditions and under the same ability, manpower is the basic element of victory.No prince would be willing to spend a lot of manpower on training archers and crossbowmen.Although the cost of archers and crossbowmen against the enemy is considerable, once the enemy army rushes into battle, no amount of archers and crossbowmen is a dead end, and in the end, you will have to rely on other classes to finish the battle.Moreover, the participation of a single arm in the battlefield is often only a death part, and the battle of the large army must be a mixed arm partner in order to exert a strong strength.For example, 10,000 soldiers and horses are generally composed of 3,000 sword and shield infantry, 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 pikemen, and 2,000 archers.The casualties of the Sword and Shield Soldiers can be said to be the largest, because this class is used to resist enemy charges, and it can also be said to be the fortress of Army B.Whether or not they can block the enemy's offensive and whether they can win many favorable opportunities for Army B depends on the merits of the sword and shield soldiers.Cavalry is used to charge into battle, and the main purpose is to disrupt the formation of the enemy army, cause confusion to the enemy army, and thus further create more fighters for Army B.Spearmen can be said to be a diverse type of troops, one can be combined with sword and shield soldiers, indirectly blocking and resisting the enemy's charge, and the moment the sword and shield soldiers block the enemy, it is the moment when the pikemen shoot.On the other hand, when the cavalry of the B army scattered and disrupted the enemy's formation, the pikemen followed behind to encircle and suppress the enemy, just like the combination of Lu Bu and Zhou wolf cavalry and Gao Shun's trapping camp in those years.As for the significance of the archers, in general tactics, the archers are listed as the front, and when the enemy attacks, there are executive generals who visually measure the enemy's attack speed and effective range.If the distance is still far away, if you let the archers shoot, you may not be able to hit, and secondly, the lethality will not be enough.You must know that an archer from drawing arrows, preparing to shoot with his bow, aiming, and finally shooting, although this process seems to be only a few seconds, but in a few seconds the enemy may charge and close the distance, it can also be said that shooting in the air is equivalent to one less chance to block the enemy.The number of men in a city is limited, especially in the prime of life.Many of the princes were the first to build pikemen or cavalry, and the training of archers was very rare, and in their opinion, archers were only used to block the enemy in the event of an engagement, or to defend the walls.Zhao Yu didn't think so, today in Jizhou alone, there are 100,000 people in the new and old women's bags, which is an extra 100,000 troops for nothing.Among the 100,000 female soldiers, there are tens of thousands of archers, and although these tens of thousands of people are not good at charging into battle, they can defend the city gate with bows and arrows.In this way, the garrison of the previous city gate was greatly solved, so that more male soldiers could be put into the main battlefield.And these female soldiers have not been able to go to the battlefield, they have always maintained a certain number, and they are constantly increasing, more and more female soldiers are joining, and more and more female archers have reached a qualified archer after several years of training.Maybe some people can't even hold a longbow and don't know how to pull the bowstring when they first join the army, or maybe some people are not born a warrior, but after self-training, these people have become a super female soldier who is not inferior to male soldiers.Especially after the Super Dragon Crossbow Divine Spear, Tiger Crossbow Divine Spear and Thunder Thunder Crossbow made by Zhao Yu's parents, the advantages of these female soldiers can be more reflected.The Dragon Crossbow Sharpshooter is a short-range crossbow gun, which can indirectly fire twenty-five small crossbow arrows in a row, suitable for short-distance crossbow guns that block and harass enemy attacks, with an effective distance of 150 meters.The Tiger Crossbow Spear is a long-range crossbow gun, which can indirectly fire twelve medium-sized crossbow arrows in a row, and is suitable for long-distance and short-to-medium distance shooting enemy ballistas, with an effective distance of 300 meters.As for the thunderbolt, it is suitable for ultra-long-range siege and defense, and it takes two sergeants to work together to pull it apart, or even three people, and the effective range is more than 400 meters away, and the destructive power is extremely powerful, and ordinary shields cannot stop it at all.In battle, the destructive power brought is far more powerful than the impact of a war horse.Especially after the later improvements, the crossbow arrows of the thunderbolt are designed with a groove design, which is accustomed to fire oil, after pulling the bowstring and loading the crossbow arrows, it can be ignited with a fire source, and then released, the crossbow arrows are ignited in the process of flying, and if they hit the enemy gate, they can play a role in burning and destroying.As for Zhao Yu's parents and two elders, they wanted to work the dragon crossbow and tiger crossbow to increase their longer-term range and destructive power, but they gave up after countless experiments, after all, there are many things that can be imagined with modern technology, but they can't be realized.In this regard, Zhao Yu was rarely grateful to the second elder, claiming that the divine soldier had laid the foundation of an unsurpassable myth in ancient times.Except for the Dragon Crossbow Spear and the Tiger Crossbow Spear, which are suitable for female soldiers, the Thunderbolt is only available to male soldiers.Since Zhao Yu left Jizhou last time to attack Bingzhou, Zhao Yu's parents, Xun Yu and others began to secretly mobilize all the blacksmiths and craftsmen in the five counties of Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou to forge in groups.After thousands of blacksmiths and craftsmen and some soldiers joined hands to make it, it only took a few months to create more than 12,000 dragon crossbow spears, 100,000 crossbow arrows, more than 15,000 tiger crossbow spears, 120,000 pieces, more than 1,000 thunder crossbows, 5,000 ordinary crossbow arrows, and 2,000 Vulcan crossbow arrows.In daily training, in order to save money, Zhao Yu ordered all trainers to use flat-headed crossbow arrows when contacting crossbow arrows, and after skillful operation, they were given real crossbow arrows to contact crossbow shooting scarecrows.The reason for using the scarecrow is that most of the crossbow arrows are slowed down or stuck in the scarecrow when they penetrate the scarecrow, and this training does not cause any excessive wear and tear on the arrows of the crossbow arrows.In normal times, when an arrow shoots at a wooden target, the arrow will become dull over time due to long-term training, and it must be polished before it can be used.Although this may sound a bit stingy, you must know that the training of tens of thousands of crossbowmen, each person equipped with a set of arrows, and the training of 100 times a day, is definitely a big consumption.As for the other role of using a scarecrow to replace the arrow target, it is the key to Zhao Yu's training.It is well known that the target of an arrow is round, and in an engagement with an enemy, beginners and new archers often fail to shoot because they are not suitable for the target.The goal of the scarecrow is a bit more difficult than the target of the arrow, and the scarecrow is made in the form of a human.In the process of training, if you want to become a good crossbowman, you need to be familiar with the lethal points of the person, and aim for these fatal points when shooting with the bow, such as the head, neck and heart.If you are facing a well-defended shield soldier, you should aim your feet, because some large shield soldiers hide behind the shield, as long as they move slightly, they will occasionally expose their feet, although the footsteps are not fatal, but they will be in pain when they are hit by such an arrow, and they will never easily carry the shield forward.At this point, the second shot was a good time to take his life.Nowadays, these female soldier shooters can be said to be able to achieve the level of pointing and fighting.This time, Zhao Yu ordered Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai to lead 90,000 elite soldiers, and gave Ma Yunlu the command of 10,000 female soldiers, although the number of 10,000 people is much less than that of several brothers, but it is enough for Ma Yunlu, and Ma Yunlu is very satisfied.After all, this is the first time to personally lead the troops to the battlefield immediately, even if the Xiliang Ma family and the Cao army fought that time, he only followed the eldest brother to rush and kill, and there was no chance to lead the troops at all.Especially in this ancient environment where men were inferior to women, even if they had some ability, it was absolutely impossible.This time, King Zhao gave him the command of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and let him go to battle with his brother to conquer Cao Wei, so that he also had a chance to take revenge, how could Ma Yunlu have other complaints.I saw Zhao Yu say to Ma Yunlu in public: "Ma Yunlu, this battle is the first time that a female soldier of our army has gone to the battlefield.There must be a lot of unstable factors in this, and as a female general, I don't know if you have the confidence to calm these unstable situations. ”Ma Yunlu immediately bowed to Zhao Yu, and swore quite confidently: "Back to King Zhao, Ma Yunlu has worked hard to train these female soldiers with other sisters on weekdays.Although this is the first time that our female soldiers have gone to the battlefield, I believe that with the hard work and hard work of our female soldiers in the past, we will be able to overcome these unstable factors.Ma Yunlu promised with a general order that as long as those male soldiers can do it on the battlefield, we female soldiers can also do it, and our female soldiers will definitely not drag the army back. ”As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the favor and praise of many generals and ministers in the field, and this is really a heroine."
Okay, with General Yunlu's words, this king will rest assured, this time you will lead 10,000 female soldiers to go out with General Ma Chao, and as for the marching formation, it will be under the command of Ma Chao and the marching division of this army."
After saying that, Zhao Yu couldn't help but glance at the strategists below.Suddenly, I saw one of them, and I kept dangling it, which was a bit dazzling.Seeing that Zhao Yu was angry, he said: "Lu Xun, you are okay dangling below, shaking me dizzy."
Say, what the hell are you hanging around":
