Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Tan quickly explained the cause and effect clearly. There is nothing to say about the battlefield. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. Just narrate the facts.

But after finishing writing, Yuan Tan stopped writing and began to think. After a while, he typed a few cases, looked at Yuan Zhong at the side, thought for a while and said, "Uncle Clan, go and invite You Ruo, our side We had to think about other things."

"Xiansi, it's already the second watch, why don't you work again tomorrow, you've already been busy all day today." Yuan Zhong looked at Yuan Tan and suggested.

"The military system must be mobilized." Yuan Tan said softly, "This kind of thing should be reported to You Ruo sooner rather than later."

Seeing this, Yuan Zhong stopped talking, nodded and left quickly, while Yuan Tan sighed, looking at the empty cases, thinking about what direction to change next.

Soon Xun Chen rushed over wearing a white fur cloak. From the snowflakes accumulated on the smooth and smooth fur, it can be seen how much snow was falling outside.

"This is the main loss of our battle with Rome over the years. This is the report of this battle. Please take a look." After Xun Chen took his seat, Yuan Tan handed everything in his hand to Xun Chen. Xun Chen just took over and glanced at it, then frowned slightly.

"My lord wants to activate the military system?" Xun Chen understood Yuan Tan's thoughts almost instantly.

"I'm afraid it won't work if you don't move. We have suffered too much from the archers." Yuan Tan sighed, "This time the huge loss, even if Zhang Zhenxi was trapped in the camp and couldn't get out, but the sound of shooting It is also very important that the battalion fails to complete the tactical strike."

Xun Chen nodded. He knows the soldiers. Don't think he is mainly in the rear now, but if he really wants to go to the battlefield, he is no worse than Xu You and Shenpei. It's just that the situation forced him to sit in the rear.

Although Zhang Ren's failure to penetrate the Macedonian front is indeed the biggest problem compared to before, but considering that this time it was a snowy night in Rome, the Han army made a wrong judgment from the beginning, which made Zhang Ren find that the Macedonian front became extremely difficult. At that time, it is impossible to turn around and regroup.

To be honest, this is really Zhang Ren's problem. When Zhang Ren hit Macedonia, he crushed him every time. When he found out that Rome was riding on his face and raided the camp on a snowy night, Zhang Ren's head-on heavy attack was a very reasonable operation. The only problem That is, the operation is correct, but it has not penetrated, and because of the problem of the camp, there is no way to turn around and penetrate from the side.

In the end, he could only bite the bullet and attack hard. As a result, Sui Yuanjin, who was covering the rear, was killed on the spot by an intuitive shot, and Zhang Ren sat on the wax directly. Anulinus himself proved his luck in the official history. What if he was lucky enough? Maybe the storm will hit the opponent together...

Coupled with the luck of the fourth eagle emblem, after it blooms, it is called a perfect match, and occasional unexpected effects are played from time to time, and Zhang Ren's rhythm is disrupted.

Therefore, Yuan Tan didn't have anything to say when he saw the battle report. Zhang Ren's judgment was correct. If it was a normal Fourth Eagle Banner Corps, it would definitely be the best move for Zhang Ren to fight head-on.

Judging from the follow-up situation, although Zhang Ren made a mistake and the combat effectiveness of the garrison cavalry was not fully raised, he was not directly defeated. Half of the reason for the failure was the turmoil on the rear front.

"Does the lord mean to increase archers or reduce archers?" Xun Chen asked a very strange question. Theoretically speaking, since archers are not strong enough overall, archers should be increased, but in Xun Chen There will be another option in the inquiry.

"Let's get rid of the sound of shooting and long water." Yuan Tan said with a sigh, "Using General Zhu's crossbow machine shield guard, the survivability of archers is too poor, and precision is actually meaningless for covering strikes. Hands are not included in the legion structure, they are only used as auxiliary."

"Can't keep up with the times? The sharp warriors haven't been eliminated yet, but the archers were eliminated first." Xun Chen said with a sigh.

"No way, we are fighting a pioneering war. Most of the time, the number of people who can reach the battlefield is less than that of the opponent, and we can only lose." Yuan Tan said with a little depression.

Regardless of whether it is a dual-talent archer or a guard-level archer, as long as there is no talent correction, the armor he can use can basically be pierced by ordinary archers.

In other words, the bow and arrow army you have practiced for ten years has an attack power of 10,000 and a defense power of 500, and someone else organizes a bow and arrow army randomly. After half a year, the attack power is 600 and the defense power is 100. It is also one-to-one with you. .

So much so that in the era of enhanced talent, archers have become a nearly expendable unit, and the most taboo in the foreign battlefield is attrition.

Because it is not exhausted, in a country with a population of tens of millions, the loss of hundreds of thousands of people is not fatal, but in a battle spanning thousands of miles, the total force you can invest may not be hundreds of thousands. What is important is to effectively kill and injure the enemy, not one-to-one exchange.

"Although Shesheng and Changshui are good, their positioning is still to defend the capital after all, as well as specific legions to suppress rebellions, etc. In the battle of the empire, the so-called archer legion, forget it, it still depends on the cavalry and infantry." Yuan Tan felt that he understood why the Han army only had crossbow-bearing cavalry, crossbow-bearing infantry, and all-round infantry when the history books fought against the Huns in the end, and there were basically no archers.

"Developing heavy crossbows?" Xun Chen nodded, "This requires technology. Even shield guards can only use small and medium-sized crossbows if they want to ensure their survivability, and the power of small and medium-sized crossbows is very powerful for some people. Top-tier hoplites are not deadly."

"This requires technology. Chang'an is also developing. From a certain perspective, Chen Zichuan's vision is really good. Speaking of which, what's the situation with their Yuan Rong crossbow now? I think this is suitable for the frontline soldiers as a melee weapon. The use of face is very good." Yuan Tan said with a blank face, he wanted to get prostitution from Chen Xi.

"No, the cost can't be suppressed." Xun Chen shook his head and said, "More than 10,000 handles were produced, and then production was stopped for technical improvement. As a result, after the sky changed, most of the masters had other tasks, which have been put on hold now, but Chen Zichuan It is indeed the beginning of the transition to the ballista."

In fact, it is not that Chen Xi is overdoing the crossbow, but that the use of bows and arrows is too troublesome, and the death rate is too high. Chen Xi has to calculate the cost of personnel, so he gradually equips the first-line heavy infantry with the standard weapon of three-bolt crossbow, and then gradually eliminates archers. .

After all, crossbowmen don't need much training, they can use it with a little training, while archers need a lot of training, and they are easy to lose in shooting.

In fact, it can be seen from the records of military equipment in the official history that due to the large-scale external combat needs of the Han Dynasty, the demand for bows and arrows was much smaller than that of cavalry and strong crossbows. "Arsenal of Yongshi Four Years of Weapons and Weapons Collection" crossbow 537707, bow 77521, and crossbow 11458424 , Arrow 1199316.

Basically, the comparison between crossbows and bows is about ten to one. This actually shows that after the Han Dynasty experienced large-scale foreign wars, it clearly realized the limitations of pure archers in foreign wars. It is better to equip infantry and cavalry with strong weapons. Crossbow, let these men free to strike.

Even if there is no such thing as talent enhancement in the official history, archers are high in attack and low in defense against archers themselves. Since infantry wearing armor can kill the archer on the opposite side with a strong crossbow, why form a pure archer? Legion.

Even the elite of Danyang, who are particularly strong in bows and arrows, are all-round infantry in essence. Bows and arrows are only a relatively effective auxiliary means for Danyang soldiers.

After thinking about these things clearly, Yuan Tan finally gave up on the high shooting sound and long water, and prepared to build a strong crossbow assembly line to equip each front-line infantry and cavalry with a strong crossbow. The idea is to equip each soldier with a Yuan Rong crossbow.

As for the relatively professional archers, they were replaced by the crossbow machine shield guards created by Zhu Jun. Anyway, the archers with dual talents were almost enough to strike.

Besides, the survivability of this thing is far stronger than that of ordinary archers. After all, it is also a full-armored infantry, but it is much more resistant to beating than archers. Even if it is close, it can continue to fight.

"Chen Zichuan actually always considers the cost? Forget it, it's better to use our commonly used crossbows. At worst, each person should prepare two." The idea of ​​coming out was snuffed out.

After living for more than 30 years, one of the scariest things Yuan Tan has ever seen is Chen Xi's unlimited resources hanging, and now Chen Xi, who is driving unlimited resources hanging, said that the Yuan Rong crossbow is too expensive, and Yuan Tan's instant love for Yuan Rong The crossbow was no longer interested, and Chen Xi said it was expensive, but how expensive it was.

In fact, if you really want to say that it is expensive, it is not very expensive. The reason why Chen Xi seals up this thing is that there are too many spare parts for this thing. Even if it is put on the assembly line, the process is very troublesome, and it requires too many people. How about the combat power it can bring? Woolen cloth?

This thing has a great bonus for ordinary elite soldiers, and it is actually a support for top-level veterans. It is enough to use a single-bolt crossbow like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The guy who can't be killed is basically unkillable.

Chen Xi's original positioning of the Yuanrong Crossbow was that ordinary recruits could hold it in their hands and could kill dual talents. As a result, this thing was mainly used for self-defense at Jia Xu's level. Awkward.

On the contrary, the input-output ratio of the large-scale Yuan Rong crossbow after the reformation is quite normal. For the small crossbow that can be folded and carried, Chen Xi stopped production after making more than 10,000 handles. The marginal benefit is really too bad. As for the production The number of Yuanrong crossbows that came out was too small, and there were not enough spare parts, so Chen Xi didn't have the nerve to distribute them.

However, when going to the Ganges this time, Chen Xi remembered to bring these Yuanrong crossbows with him when he cleared his inventory. He gave every veteran who went to the Ganges a Yuanrong crossbow, and the rest were dismantled as spare parts. When you go to the battlefield, don't expect your things to not break.

Ma Chao's weapons are very powerful after all kinds of special warming, but they still break when they should be broken. Therefore, it is better to prepare as many spare weapons as possible when going to the battlefield.

"I also suggest to use ordinary crossbows. If not, you can use two more." Xun Chen nodded. After he received that Chen Xi stopped production because he thought it was expensive, he completely treated Yuan Rong. The crossbow lost interest, and Chen Zichuan thought it was too expensive. How expensive is it? If it is scattered, use something else.

"In this case, we will build a strong crossbow production line here. It just so happens that Shufan will need a lot of logging next year, so we will not be short of wood." Yuan Tan thought for a while, put out the related thoughts of Yuan Rong crossbow, and then replaced it with a normal crossbow. the crossbow.

"However, in this case, we'd better determine the load of the soldiers, and simplify the parts of the crossbow, and put the entire production process on the assembly line, and the crossbow is small and large. Next, we will build a permanent camp in Eastern Europe, and the archery tower is indispensable. .” Xun Chen thought very long-term.

"Let's produce three kinds of crossbows, a single-shot crossbow directly carried by regular infantry and cavalry, with about twenty bolts, and a crossbow used by shield guards, which is equipped with ten bolts. A kind of heavy-duty bed crossbow used in the archery tower, we only need these three types." Yuan Tan's organization is very clear, he knows what his family needs and how to deploy it.

"Give up on the three-bolt crossbow?" Xun Chen asked puzzled.

"Pursue power, one shot of super power won't kill you, and three shots of normal power won't help." Yuan Tan said with concern, and Xun Chen nodded, the reason is this.

"As for the arrow, I'm afraid it needs to be redesigned." Xun Chen said with some regret. This kind of thing looks simple, but it is a lot of things to say, and it needs some veterans who have experienced the battlefield to personally verify it, and then comprehensively evaluate the cost. And kill it.

"I'll leave it to you. Although shooting sound and long water are good, they are not suitable for us. The meaning of precision in the current battlefield is probably only beyond visual range." Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen with a depressed expression.

The Yuan family is also defending beyond visual range. At present, there are only two optimal solutions to improve the survivability of archers. One is to cover strikes with heavy-armed archers, and the other is beyond visual range.

The former has basically been abolished, because in this era with the essence of heaven and earth, archers have no talent to support them, and the heavy equipment that comes with their physical fitness is of little significance to archers of the same level, while the latter can be said to be the best. choose.

"If it's beyond visual range, we have to keep one as a deterrent, let's just forget about regular archers." Yuan Tan finally laid the tone of Yuan's military system.

Of course, the purpose of retaining the over-the-horizon archers is not to go to the battlefield, but to be qualified to fight back when the opponent attacks them.

But generally speaking, this thing is like nuclear binding. If you have it and I don’t, it will definitely be over. If you have it and I have it, then generally neither side will use this strike method. The meaning of this thing’s existence is a deterrent.
