In fact, combat effectiveness comes from the courage to fight.
In the era of cold weapons, the so-called strong army also relied on manpower, equipment, discipline, and the spirit of daring to fight and fight.
Even if he is strong, how strong can he be?
The disparity is so great that one can use drones to eliminate hostile parties at targeted locations?
As long as a hundred spearmen dared to scream and stab the invading enemy with their spears, the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu would also be stabbed into a honeycomb.
The Han people who no longer want to be slaves must have courage. In order to defend their homeland, they should be able to fight.
Huang Yi has not requested live ammunition training for the matchlock gun for the time being.
Ten women and 20 teenagers were practicing the end-to-end grab and aim under the demonstration and supervision of Zhao Yong and Li Wanquan, practicing the steps of loading, shooting and releasing over and over again.
Including Huang Dayong and Huang Dashuang who have recovered from injuries, there are more than thirty teenagers and young and middle-aged men practicing archery. They are all relatively strong and have a certain foundation.
Huang Yi had a lot of captured horn bows and feather arrows in his hands. Unfortunately, only seventeen people including the Hu Xiaochuan brothers, Chalahe, Gerda, Ya Moboli, Huang Dazhi, etc. were capable of archery skills. .
Archery is not a high-end skill. As the oil seller said, "But you are familiar with it!"
As long as you have decent arm strength and practice hard every day, you can still play a role in defensive battles even if you can't pierce the enemy with a hundred steps.
In the future, even if you have a large number of matchlocks, you can't give up bows and arrows. After all, bending the bow and archery is much faster than loading the matchlocks.
Matchlock guns also have many disadvantages, such as making too much noise and easily exposing their targets.
Another example is that no one is sure whether it can be played on windy or rainy days. Archery can be done almost all day long.
Of course, if it rains continuously for a month or two, the bow and arrow will become useless, but it is impossible for the north to encounter such extremely humid weather.
Moreover, gunpowder and lead bullets are not cheap. Each shot is worth no less than two pounds of wheat. Compared with the recyclable feather arrows, the cost is too high.
Everything Huang Yi has done can be summed up in one sentence. From now on, everyone in the Huang family will be a soldier.
He estimated that in three months, the Huang family, with all the people in the army, would be able to defeat the defenders, even if Jiannu brought in a powerful force.
Of course, this is unlikely to happen for the time being.
Huang Yi didn't make a mini gun for the time being. He didn't want to use gold fingers in Hedanbaat'er's tribe, and he didn't even use the purchased shochu to repeatedly distill the alcohol.
He has already looked through the information and structural diagrams about the mini gun saved in his mobile phone.
I feel that due to the current steel material, the wall thickness of the forged barrel must be increased, which will cause the minigun to weigh much more than the Lumi gun.
Huang Yi is so strong now that even if the mini gun he made weighs ten kilograms, he can still hold it flat and aim and shoot.
Anyway, future musketeers will still generally be equipped with bird blunderbuss and Lumi blunderbuss that were widely used by the Ming army.
Huang Yi just strived to make a few miniguns with exquisite craftsmanship, leaving them for himself to use to snipe enemy generals.
Of course, if you can find someone with shooting talent among Zhong, Xiao, Shuang, Quan, Peng, etc., you can also train them to become snipers.
On the second day after returning to the tribe's winter camp, Huang Yi asked Zhang and Li to cook some dishes and treat Hedanbaatar, Karitu, Morigen, Huhlu and other nine people to drink.
What attracted these Mongolians the most was the unique aroma of a large plate of golden scrambled eggs.
Karitu and Morigen are simply salivating!
Huang Yi bought two hundred pounds of eggs to hatch chicks.
The scrambled eggs we ate today were all shone with a powerful flashlight from a power bank and were not fertilized.
It may be the first time for nine Mongolians, including Hedanbaatar, to drink strong wine and eat stir-fried vegetables. The more they drank, the happier they became.
Including Huang Yi, a Han who is equivalent to a strategist and advisor, the ten people drinking and chatting together are the backbone of the entire tribe.
No one else needed to translate. Mo Rigen could understand Chinese, but he didn't speak it smoothly.
Huang Yi took advantage of the wine to talk to them about his preparations to take the Han people and the Mongolian families who belonged to him to settle in the mountains.
The Han people opened up wasteland for farming, while the Mongols herded livestock, and promised to pay no less than one hundred stones of wheat to the tribe every year in the future.
In fact, Mongolian tribes all herd separately. Otherwise, how would so many cattle, sheep and horses gather together to graze?
Under normal circumstances, they gradually gather after autumn to spend the most difficult winter together.
In spring, Mongolians basically graze their cattle individually as a family unit.
Although Hedanbaatar has never planted land, he knows that if he wants to harvest wheat, he must ensure spring plowing and autumn harvest.
Huang Yi took his population to farm, and Hedanbaatar had nothing to lose, so of course he supported it.
During this period, he has been worried that Huang Yi will return to Ming Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, Huang Yi chose to stay in the prairie and near his tribe.
Hedanbaat'er was very happy. He raised a toast and apologized, because he could not help farm the land. He could only ensure that other tribes would not pass through his grazing land to the place where Huang Yi opened up wasteland.
Yes, this is what I want.
Huang Yi immediately took a sip of the wine in the bowl and said that whether he could lead the Han people to farm with peace of mind was entirely dependent on the security provided by Hedan Bater.
The wine was a little strong, and Hedanbaatar was a little drunk, and he was full of pride at this time.
He patted his chest and promised that unless he died, no one would be able to cross his territory and attack Huang Yi's foothold.
Eight leaders, including Karitu, Morigen, and Huhru, also expressed their stance that as long as they were alive, they would not let any enemy cross the border.
The wine was strong, the food was fragrant, and the conversation was congenial. The ten people drank more and more happily, and they talked about all kinds of topics.
Hedanbaat'er became more confident after swallowing his old enemy Kachagute tribe. He knew that the tribe's territory was unstable and must establish its authority.
He discussed with Huang Yi, meaning that it was depressingly idle in winter, so why not start killing several nearby tribes?
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ka Letu immediately shouted to do it.
Mo Rigen reminded everyone that if you cannot attack the tribes that still submit to Lin Dan Khan, you can definitely attack the small tribes that belong to Aohan, Naiman, and Karaqin.
Huhru and several other leaders increased their property, cattle, sheep, horses, women, and slaves several times through fighting, and they were very warlike.
They all said that the current tribe was powerful and had high morale. Most of the warriors were looking forward to fighting again, and unanimously requested that they decide as soon as possible which tribe to fight first!
Jiannu and Tatars like to fight in winter.
First, the weather is cold and there is nothing to do. Winning the battle can guarantee that we will have enough food and clothing for a year.
Second, if you wear more clothes, you can still withstand scattered light arrows even if you don't wear armor.
Third, even if you are injured, the risk of infection will be reduced due to the cold weather.
Fourth, after the autumn harvest, the enemies, especially the Han people, stored food for the winter in their homes.
This is also the reason why Huang Taiji chose to set out from Shenyang in early October to bypass the Guanning defense line, pass through the territory of Karaqin Mongolia, and break into the pass through the Jizhen defense area at the end of October.
