The Rise of the European Emperor

This strong Mao Gonggong named Pujinsky (well, changed his name to Pujinsky, the author was afraid of being hunted down by the emperor) was originally a Cossack living on the Eastern European prairie. He lost his parents when he was young, and was later adopted by a Tatar Cossack.

His adoptive father was a traditional Tatar - a superb rider, good at riding and shooting. Under the tutelage of his adoptive father, Puginsky learned to ride a sheep since he was a child, and grew up to be a master at riding. With more than ten years of experience, he has a very high level of riding and shooting, and he has become the number one warrior in that Cossack village.

It's a pity that their village was unlucky to encounter an attack by thousands of Crimean cavalry. There were only dozens of warriors in the village. Facing the Crimean Tatar cavalry, Puginsky fought bravely, but his horse was shot down by the Crimean Tatar cavalry. Then he was wounded and captured, and became humiliated. Became a hairy eunuch...

These days, Puginsky basically came here in a daze. After losing the man's important things, he became a little desperate, and even almost lost the courage to live.

But when he came to Senegal and saw the familiar prairie, Puginski finally recovered. He knew that he couldn't be so decadent anymore. After all, he was only under 30 years old, so he couldn't just die in obscurity. So, he decides to prove his worth...

Apparently, he succeeded. Because of his outstanding performance, Pujinski was valued by Eschwein, the head of the Senegal Fur Company. Therefore, Eschwein appointed Puginsky as the captain of the cavalry in public, leading the 60 eunuchs who are good at riding and shooting.

As for the other 59 Eunuchs Mao, Eschwein also took the school test and found that their riding and archery skills were also very good, only worse than Puginsky's.

After the horse archers were successfully formed, the next day, Eschwein sent them to try to use cavalry to deal with rhinos and elephants.

It's just that the rhino's skin is too hard, and it took a long time for 60 Mao Gonggong to barely kill a rhino, which is very inefficient. Moreover, when shooting the rhino, it was because Puginsky shot the arrow into the nostril of the rhino that he finally got the rhino.

As for the elephants, the 60 Mao Gonggongs took care of a few elephants in half a day. This is because the elephant's chassis is high, which is very suitable for riding, and the hairy father-in-laws on horseback aim at shooting arrows. Like shooting rhinos, elephants are mainly killed by arrows in the head. It is almost impossible to shoot through the elephant's body and hit the heart with a bow and arrow. Fortunately, the elephant face has a high chassis and is easier to aim at, and the elephant skin is thick but soft. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot.

After the attempt, the cavalry captain Puginsky proposed that a stronger riding bow and heavy arrows were needed. The bows and arrows they use now are ordinary riding bows presented by the Crimeans. It is fine to shoot antelopes, but there are more problems when they can be used to shoot thick-skinned elephants. Otherwise, 60 of them would not have shot and killed a few elephants in one afternoon. Therefore, Puginsky asked for a more powerful riding bow, and special heavy-duty arrows with bloodletting grooves specially designed to deal with elephants.

For his request, Eschwein of course readily agreed. Because the production of bows and arrows is much simpler than steel ball bullets. In Europe, there are still many masters who make bows and arrows. As long as the order is placed, there is enough supply. Moreover, if the steel ball bullets fly, it is difficult to recover after falling into the grass soil. Bows and arrows are easier to recycle and reuse. After all, the target of the arrow is relatively large and easy to retrieve.

...

Seeing that the cavalry archers led by Puginsky, composed of 60 eunuchs Mao, had taken shape, Eschwein found Maghan, the chief of the Dakar tribe, and introduced Pujinski and other eunuchs Mao to them. Eschwein did not forget Marin's order, and the purpose of introducing these father-in-laws was to help the local black aborigines become stronger.

In front of Chief Maghar, Puginsky showed off his superb riding and archery skills, and looked straight at Maghar's eyes. Then, Mag'har decisively asked Pujinski and others to teach his tribal warriors riding and archery skills.

Before that, the weapons used by local blacks for hunting were mainly javelins.

And it is an earthen javelin with a stone spearhead. The hit of the javelin is naturally far worse than that of the bow and arrow. Also, the range is much worse.

Generally speaking, if the local aborigines want to hunt, they must group to outflank. Because the effective range of the javelin is generally within 20 meters. No matter how far away it is, it will be difficult to hit at all. And the animals on the grassland run so fast, it is even more difficult to hit. Therefore, when the local aborigines hunt, they generally need someone to drive the prey to the range of the javeliner, and then throw it. But even so, the hit rate is still not high.

In fact, at close range, javelins are much more lethal than bows and arrows. Especially the heavy javelin has a lot of kinetic energy after being projected. Even rhinos and elephants can't resist it. Of course, the heavy javelins mentioned here are metal-tipped javelins, not the stone spear-tipped javelins of the local aborigines.

It's just that there is a big problem with using javelins to kill rhinos and elephants-that is, the low hit rate and the difficulty of escaping...

If you can't kill with one blow, hunting rhinos with javelins will definitely anger the rhinos. Once the black rhino gets mad, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties if it rushes over and hits anyone.

The same is true for elephants, once the javelins start to throw, it is sure to anger the elephants. If a few bull elephants rushed over and trampled wantonly, it would also cause serious casualties.

Generally speaking, even if there are old blacks who shoot elephants with javelins in later generations, they are usually aimed at elephants that are alone. If it is used by the target group, it is easy to irritate the elephant group. A walking old black in class on the prairie can't run as fast as a running elephant. Once he is caught up, he will end up being trampled to the ground.

Of course, if you gather thousands of black uncles, each holding a javelin, you can also deal with elephant herds. The main method of operation is to scare the elephants first, so that the elephants run away in fright. Then, concentrate on projecting the old bishop that fell in the back. For example, the armies of the Mali Empire and the Songhai Empire did just that.

However, this requires too many people, and ordinary small tribes simply cannot gather so many warriors. And if there are few people, the elephant herd cannot be frightened at all, and they may be killed instead.

Therefore, for tribes with few people, it is the most correct choice to use long-range and high-precision bows and arrows.

If you use a bow and arrow, it's okay to miss and anger the elephant. It's a big deal, just run away on a horse. Anyway, an elephant is so fat, it must not be able to outrun a bob horse. When the elephant can't run anymore, the horse archers can catch up and shoot fiercely. There is always a chance of hitting the elephant's vitals. In this way, the hunting of elephants can also be completed and precious ivory can be obtained. Of course, elephant skin and meat are also available. However, elephant meat is not tasty. For example, in later generations, those poachers usually kill elephants, get the ivory and leave, and no one gets the elephant meat. Obviously, elephant meat is not tasty. But for these African natives, some food is good, so why are they so particular? As for elephant skin, the treated elephant skin is thick and soft, which can be used as the outer skin of sofas, and can also be used as leather cushions for tables and chairs.

Of course, Chief Mag'har thought too simply. Those black uncles who are used to javelins suddenly let them practice riding and shooting, so don't make it too difficult.

Whether it is riding or archery, it is not so easy, and it is even more difficult to combine. Therefore, when Puginsky and others select apprentices, they choose more teenagers than adults. Because adults have poor learning ability and have no future. And those teenagers, with strong plasticity, are more likely to learn horse riding and archery, and finally master the powerful ability of horse riding and archery-riding and archery. Moreover, this process will be very long, at least several years, even ten years.
