Chapter 241: Time Change: Let the world know that heroes are not tall!.
At this moment, because of the loss of six hundred iron floating slaughters in a moment, Jin Wushu was indifferent on the surface, but his heart was dripping blood.
And take this as your own incompetence!
It was his fault that he did not expect this scene in advance, did not detect that the Zhou army had such an army restraining heavy armored cavalry!
But in fact, this is not to blame for the incompetence of Jin Wushu.
The talent of the commander of Jin Wushu is only stronger than his brother Yan Zongwang and so on.
It’s just that because the Jin Army has never encountered a scythe gun in the process of rising, and Chai Hao has never used a scythe gun in the army since he fought with the Jin Army, Jin Wushu has no awareness and defense in this regard.
After all, the emergence of this weapon is more because of the lack of war horses, so it has to rely on the hook sickle gun to restrain the cavalry, and the northern country has never had this awareness since ancient times with many cavalry and war horses.
The concept of the scythe gun is a relatively unfamiliar concept for the Northern Cavalry.
Otherwise, in the original history, the Iron Futu of Jin Wushu would not have been defeated so miserably by Yue Fei’s hook and sickle soldiers, so that Jin Wushu had to lament, shaking the mountain is easy, regretting that the Yue family army is difficult!
What made Jin Wushu feel fortunate was that the master general of the Iron Futu, Yan Shiyema, finally noticed the clue after breaking the two groups of Tiefutu and made a correct decision.
Although the hook and sickle and the hook can restrain the cavalry, there is also a shortcoming, that is, the restraint of the cavalry is more than enough, and the defense is insufficient!
The collapse of Fang Cai’s six hundred horsemen was mainly because in a short period of time, each horse encountered several or even dozens of golden gun troops, so it was difficult to fight with two fists and four hands, and they could not parry, and this was quickly destroyed.
And now, Yan Shi also ordered to change the formation, so that the iron floating tu that had originally spread out in the formation moved closer to each other and charged intensively.
In this way, those Zhou troops who use hooks and hooks and sickles have no room and room to cooperate with each other.
If you don’t have time to pull Tie Futu off the horse, you will be directly knocked off by Tie Futu!
After all, a hook and sickle gun must be at least a long time, and in a battlefield with dense iron horses, a hook and sickle soldier can cut off the leg of a horse at most, and before he can retract the long barrel, he will be destroyed by the rest of the surrounding iron floats.
Just when Jin Wushu was on the observation platform, waiting to witness such a scene, he found that the soldiers in front of the Golden Gun Army retreated backwards in unison, and behind them, some soldiers suddenly moved in unison.
The hooked scythes that were originally long and even those long-handled tomahawks were all in their hands, and they were quickly split in two!
The hooked sickle spear that was split in two became shorter, and the handle was only a few feet long, which was equivalent to a sword, but its flexibility was greatly increased!
And the Golden Gun Army, who was holding those weapons that suddenly became shorter, did not retreat, but advanced, each holding weapons, and directly rushed into the formation of Tie Futu.
At this time, those Tiefutu Golden Army discovered that this newly arrived Golden Gun Army had another common feature.
That is their height, generally not tall, much shorter than those Golden Gun Soldiers who are about seven feet tall who have retreated.
Compared to the rest of the Zhou Army, such as the Tianyu Army, the Back Song Army, etc., they are all one or two feet shorter per capita!
If the Tianyu Army is a cavalryman, their own height is not important.
Then the pawns under the Wu Jie and Wu Xuan brothers, the Pingxi Army and the Dingxi Army, are all composed of standard Guanzhong Han, with a height of eight feet per person, in the words of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, it is the standard soldier look.
The Golden Gun Army under Xu Ning is generally only about six feet tall.
This is also added to the average of those seven-foot golden gun soldiers who have just retired.
There are even many people who are only four or five feet tall!
This is also normal, after all, under the rule of Zhao Song, exploitation is serious, although it is prosperous on the surface, but there is no lack of some people, from snacks and not enough to eat, but also to engage in heavy labor, so they are not tall.
There are even some that are not short of food and clothing, but they are not high in generations.
Many of these shorter Golden Gun Army were selected into the army after the establishment of the Great Zhou Kingdom under the will of Chai Hao, the Son of Heaven.
In the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it was impossible for a person of this height to be elected into the army!
In daily life, they are all characters like Wu Da Lang and are despised existences.
Even if some people are not inferior to others in addition to their height, martial arts and other skills such as strength, but they also have no chance to join the army!
But after Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi, established the country, he gave these people the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the army!
Moreover, it exists as a special class in the Golden Gun Army.
On weekdays, in addition to training in hook scythes and long-handled big axes, they are also trained in short-handled hook sickles, short-handled tomahawks and hob hands!
The flea on the drum is their special leader in this regard.
During the training, Shiqian also taught them many of his flexible body techniques and tricks.
For example, hiding in the belly of the horse, turning over in the ground and other kung fu.
That’s right, their height and the skills they learned are all in order to deal with Tiefutu under the horse’s hooves of Tiefutu’s charge!
This is something that those soldiers who are more than seven feet tall cannot do!
Because the higher the height, the longer and larger the force area, the less likely it is to flexibly hide under the belly of the war horse to avoid maneuvering.
And people who are four or five feet tall, after reasonable training, can do it! Because the war horses of this era are all tall and robust, with an average shoulder height of more than four feet two.
The officers of the Golden Gun Army, who are more than four feet tall, can travel back and forth under the gallop of war horses without even lowering their heads.
And more than five feet tall is just a need to bow his head slightly.
If you face light cavalry, even at this height, it is dangerous to travel through it.
Because the light riding itself has a low load and is fast.
And the heavy cavalry of the horse armor such as Tie Futu is connected by three horses of iron cable, which leads to its speed can only reach an average speed at most, and it cannot gallop at full strength.
This is also the reason why Chai Haot ordered to select some short and flexible people to join the Golden Gun Army at 3.5.
Chai Hao will not let his soldiers die, because the speed of Tie Futu cannot reach the extreme of cavalry, so the short sergeant armed with a short-handled hook scythe and a short-handled big axe, can freely shuttle back and forth, specializing in chopping horse legs!
At this moment, this special army is on the field like this.
At the front of this generally low special army was a man who looked thin and withered, with a thin face and thin muscles.
This person is the head of the secret spy department personally selected by Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi, and the time change on the drum!
Originally, with the distribution of duties over time, he did not need to go into battle personally, let alone a soldier of the Golden Gun Army.
But this time, Shi Qian took the initiative to ask for help with these short and strong soldiers he had taught to deal with Tie Futu!
“Brothers, hold the guys in your hands!”
“Let the people of the world see, the husband does not ask about height, there are heroes in the short!”
