Far, it can be traced back to the primitive period, people first learned to use sticks, and people who simply used sticks always lost when fighting with people who learned to tie sharp stones to sticks, and people who tied ordinary sharp stones fought with people who tied obsidian. \ It was until the Cold Weapon period that bronze would be replaced by iron.
The progress of materials science is no longer only the advantages and disadvantages of materials, but also a progress in materials science and engineering, such as the emergence of knives, guns, swords, halberds, shields, bows, crossbows and other weapons, so that the fight between people is no longer only about courage and fighting skills, but tends to rely more on organization and coordination.
The development of history, even with the advent of hot weapons, is still about whoever masters sharper weapons can gain greater advantages in war, especially the progress process of long-range weapons can be more reflected.
It is not the era of hot weapons, which army has a longer range, faster frequency, greater power, the more advantages it will occupy, the more obvious the long-range weapons used by the Han army are better than the Shijie Zhao army, and it may be more difficult to reflect in the mobile warfare, but the advantages and disadvantages of the battle will be infinitely magnified, resulting in the disadvantaged side can only be passively beaten.
The Han army led by Ran Min did not need to launch a melee charge, they simply relied on a large number of powerful long-range weapons, and they could peel off the protective layer of the Shijie Zhao army again and again like peeling an orange.
The war between the two sides is no longer a fierce fight, one side uses the advantage of long-range weapons to fight to its heart's content, and the other side is unable to match the weapons and it is difficult to charge effectively, becoming a show of one side attacking and the other side being subjected.
In the nine days, the Han army advanced step by step, and the Shijie Zhao army could only retreat step by step, and the battlefield extended nearly four miles forward under one advance and one retreat.
The shrinking space forced Shijie Zhao's army to no longer have as many troops on the south bank, and Ma Qiu had to transfer some of the defenders to the north bank.
No, Ma Qiu is not simply mobilizing the defenders to retreat, he also needs to mobilize the troops in the rear to replace the people whose morale is extremely low, and it seems that they have reached the critical point of collapse.
It is difficult to counterattack and can only be beaten passively For the Shijie Zhao army who defended the camp, if they had enough organization and obedience, they could still persevere, but the Hu people never talked about any organization, and generally relied on brutal oppression to forcibly drive, Ma Qiu was really afraid that the soldiers under his command would flee because they couldn't bear it, or riot more simply.
The Han army entered the camp that originally belonged to the Shijie Zhao army, recovered the arrows and stone bullets fired before, and repeatedly used them to attack the Shijie Zhao army.
It was the dead corpses that caused trouble for the Han army, the corpses encountered at the fast advance were still fresh, and some of the corpses that had not been treated for a long time had decomposed.
The Han army had to ask for a batch of slaves from the rear to remove the corpses of the battlefield, and the corpses would be completely burned later, and finally those slaves were also killed and burned by Ran Min's order.
Killing some slaves, Ran Min didn't think it was such an angry thing, he only knew that it was a reasonable way to use a "tool", which was much more appropriate than putting others at risk of contracting the disease.
No one on the Han army's side has any opinions on Ran Min's approach, and even many generals and colonels have a greater sense of identity because of Ran Min's approach, and Ran Min feels happy when he discovers this, which makes Ran Min feel relieved to find more of the same kind.
"Not everyone can be like us" Ran Min is actually not satisfied with the current war, he prefers to fight hard: "More than 400,000 crossbow arrows have been fired in nine days, which country in the world can be like us" Ran Min, who is in a good mood, has been talking a lot lately, and he can chat with anyone who catches him.
He was even more interested in making friends with Li Tan, who had a bright future, and would chat for a long time when they met.
With the repeated advancement of the troops, although there have been recycling, there are nearly 70,000 damaged crossbow arrows, not to mention the car crossbow arrows that are difficult to reuse after firing.
Li Tan's sense of Ran Min is relatively good, and when he heard that, he said: "The arrows that are launched are all falling with strong kinetic energy, and bumps will cause breaking, and the more powerful the arrow, the easier it is to break." ” If you want to play a large-scale and large batch of arrow formations, not everyone can afford to play, what is needed is a strong productivity support, after all, not only to consume arrows, but also to reuse tools will cause damage, for example, in just nine days, there are more than 2,000 crossbows on the side of the Han army because of frequent firing damage.
The crossbow is composed of a variety of parts, the process and time of manufacturing a crossbow is far greater and more difficult than imagined, the number is small or nothing, the number is a test of national strength and productivity, there are many countries even if they master the manufacturing skills of the crossbow is difficult to assemble in large quantities.
The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually mastered the manufacturing technology of the crossbow, although it was incomparable with the crossbow of the Han army in terms of range and power, but the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty really had this kind of technology, but the crossbow soldiers of the Jin army were not many, only about 7,000.
Obviously, they have the technology to make strong crossbows but only compile 7,000 crossbow soldiers, not that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not know the power of strong crossbows, but that their craftsmen have a limited number of people who cannot be completely used in the manufacture of strong crossbows, and they cannot withstand the consumption of strong crossbows and crossbow arrows.
The real situation is that in the era of manual manufacturing, technicians need to use it in all aspects, and it is possible to focus on one place for many years.
This involves the use of productivity, that is, the pure division of manpower.
"Not every country can have the production capacity of Dahan."
Li Tan saw this aspect more thoroughly, he said: "The Han is a group of production personnel who are generally inclined to serve the war, and have a group of production personnel who are not easy to explain, and the people are also organized to be responsible for the production of a certain war material, and the rest of the countries are even pseudo-Jin with mature organizational capabilities, they are not like the Han Dynasty, and they can't learn." ” What amazed Ran Min was this, the Han State was really a machine, and all aspects were serving the war, for example, the Hu country that didn't even understand the specific operation system of the country belonged to the country that didn't know how to use manpower, and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that knew how to use manpower didn't have that executive power.
The Han state under Liu Yan's rule was due to the initial population registration and division, and then to the system similar to the collective commune, in which what people were able to do and what they should do was already allocated at the time of formation, and the human resources that were fully utilized, coupled with the system that defied the sky, created a terrifying and sophisticated war machine.
The war machine of the Han State has been in operation for three years, supporting the high-speed expansion of the territory, if it was only said to be a large-scale application in productivity, in the past year, it has been the transfer of troops.
"A new batch of troops will soon be in place" Ran Min looked at the battlefield, his own troops were endlessly firing all kinds of long-range weapons, and Shijie Zhao's army could only withstand the blow: "How many 100,000" In fact, Ran Min knew the exact number, and he just admired the use of human resources by the Han Kingdom.
The Han State is now mixed with a variety of people, and the number of troops directly involved in the battle has reached 600,000, which is still the base of 3 million people in use.
If you count those people who have recently expanded the territory, the population of the Han Kingdom is already approaching 10 million, Ran Min thought about the use of manpower in the Han State for a while, and thought that it is very likely that the 10 million population can be mobilized to arm two million troops, goosebumps pop up all over his body involuntarily, and he gasped for breath.
"Ah, two million" Li Tan was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know what Ran Min was thinking in his mind and suddenly said this.
He was also looking forward to it, but he had to explain the situation that Ran Min didn't know: "The center doesn't have much to do with the local heroes now, I'm afraid it won't be able to make full use of the new population in a short time." ” "Kill, if you catch a batch, you will kill, and if you are not afraid, you will kill them."
Ran Min felt that there was nothing complicated: "Shijie just relies on killing to rule, to drive all ethnic groups to obey. ” Li Tan couldn't help but look at Shijie Zhaojun's side, those who were forced to the battlefield by Shijie were trembling behind all kinds of places where they could hide, thinking: With this kind of use, what else can you do except drive to the battlefield to die A burst of uproar came from the direction of Shijie Zhaojun, and from a distance, many black spots surged to the rear, which was really unable to bear the pressure of Shijie Zhaojun collapsed and fled, even if there were people who supervised the battle and killed people, they couldn't stop it.
Ran Min originally thought that it was another routine collapse of Shijie Zhao Jun, but at first he had the mentality of watching jokes.
Later, he found that things didn't seem to be like that, and he didn't have the time to talk to Li Tan, but ordered his own melee troops to launch an offensive.
Shijie Zhao Jun, who has been passively beaten, can withstand nine days, that is because the Qianren are ruthless enough, but people's ability to withstand it has never been limited, and the group facing real collapse is not only ruthless enough to block.
For the first time in nine days, the Han army's long-range attacks stopped, first the Han light cavalry charged from several directions, and then the Han army's infantry poured into Shijie's camp, they did not meet organized resistance, and Shijie's Zhao army was busy fleeing to the bridges that could cross the north bank.
There were people running everywhere, and as they ran, they would let out a beast-like roar from their mouths, a sound that would only appear when they were afraid to a certain extent, and people would just run and push regardless of it, even if there was a rough river ahead, and they would just fall down like dumplings.
Ma Qiu was the first to retreat to the camp on the north bank of the Yellow River when things were wrong, and he was looking at the miserable situation ahead with cold hands and feet at this moment, the people on the river bank pushed and fell into the water, and the same situation was on several bridges.
"The troops on the south bank are finished" Jia Jian is the lieutenant of Shijie Zhao Guo, that is, Shi Hu's palace gatekeeper, and came to the Jianjin battlefield to convey Shi Hu's order, but he didn't expect to see such a situation as soon as he came: "You, you quickly find a way" "What's the way" Ma Qiu cried, really crying: "The troops are completely chaotic, the Han army is taking advantage of the situation to launch an offensive again, and the south bank is going to be lost." ” The completely passive Shijie Zhao army showed signs of collapse two or three days ago, or Ma Qiu would not have started a method of changing the garrison, what he didn't expect was that the newly transferred troops had a worse bearing capacity than the previous ones.
Ma Qiu, who knew that this was a big deal, burst into tears, he was in an extremely panicked mood now, and he didn't know how Shi Hu would concoct himself, and his heart was completely confused.
Jia Jian looked at Ma Qiu, who was mentally broken, with some sympathy, and said something that shouldn't be said by him: "Why don't you set fire to the pontoon bridge quickly, and then block the remaining three bridges that can't be burned."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Ma Qiu regained some of his senses a little: "The front troops have completely collapsed, and the troops in the rear have also been affected, and it is difficult to organize a strong counterattack, so it is most important to prevent the Han army from taking advantage of the situation to kill the north bank."

On the south bank of the Yellow River on this side of Jianjin, after about 70,000 Shijie Zhao troops rebelled on their own, what kind of organization and what organization was completely chaotic, everyone thought about how to escape to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the place where the rear could cross the river was crowded with people who wanted to flee for their lives, but the people in front had to face the slaughter of the Han army.
Ran Min and Li Tan had imagined what to do when Shijie Zhao Jun collapsed in advance, but when Shijie Zhao Jun really collapsed, they found that it was far more chaotic than they imagined.
"We're moving a little bit slowly."
Li Tan understood the battle situation ahead, and said strangely: "There are few enemy troops who resist, but they are too slow to kill in chaos, and shouting for them to surrender is ineffective." ” "It's not, not to mention people, even if it's pigs, tens of thousands of them are running around like that" Ran Min was quite excited, but he also felt depressed after discovering the truth, and he saw thick black smoke coming out of front of him halfway through his speech: "The enemy set fire to the bridge" Under Ma Qiu's orders, the soldiers of the Qiang people could kill a clearing with a dense number of arrows, and poured fire oil on the pontoon bridge on the bank of the river without hesitation, and the torches immediately burst into flames.
The pontoon bridge was originally used as a boat as a buoyancy, the structure is also all wood, the speed of burning is not fast, the fire is not so big, the soldiers of the Qiang people who slaughtered people retreated, and the Shijie Zhao army who retreated along the pontoon bridge from the south bank rushed up again, they ran all the way down the dumplings like falling into the water, and then rushed into the fire regardless of it, before the pontoon bridge was burned down, there were really many people who were burned all over their bodies and rushed to the shore.
The width of the pontoon bridge is narrow and can be emptied with a bow and arrow, but the width of the three bridges is a little large, and then these three bridges will not dangle when they walk, and how many dense arrows are emptied is how much is poured up, and the corpses of the people who were shot to death will be piled up into a mountain, and there will be living people crawling and continuing to surge, even if there are tools to block it, it will not be able to transport it.
Looking down at the battlefield from the sky, there is complete chaos on the south bank, and the Shijie Zhao army on the north bank is also chaotic, and then look at the turbulent river full of fluttering figures, and more corpses floating downstream, which is really miserable:
