Zhao Bing still remembers that he had seen such "short arrows" in the movie "The Final Weapon Bow" filmed by Fangzi in his previous life, which is the so-called "small arrows" in modern times. The Jin army, who stretched out his hands, used this method to shoot the short arrows they cut short, but now they call the container of the arrows whip tube, so they call this arrows whip arrows. It is said that this inspiration comes from crossbows.

It is also an amazing invention. Not only does one arrow shaft become three, the bamboo tube can also be recycled for multiple use, which is much cheaper. Moreover, short arrows are easier to choose materials than long arrows. Long arrows should consider the insect eye scar joints of wood. If there are defects, they will definitely not be used. Short arrows can stagger these defects, and the waste materials used to make arrows may also be recycled and used to make them into pieces. In this way, a large number of arrows can be easily obtained.

According to modern mechanics, Zhao Bing knew that when the arrow was shot out, there would be different degrees of swing during flight. The softer the arrow, the more obvious the swing. This swing consumes the kinetic energy of the arrow itself. However, the short arrow is harder, the swing will be smaller, reducing the energy consumption generated by the swing, so the initial speed is high and the flight speed is faster, which is conducive to shooting far.

However, short arrows also have insurmountable disadvantages. The manufacturing process of the bow is not only cumbersome, but also very delicate. As we all know, the bow relies on the deformation of the bow piece to accumulate energy, and the force is transmitted to the arrow through the bow string to shoot it. Then there is no arrow on the bow string, but it is empty. The energy storage of the bow piece cannot release kinetic energy through the arrow off the string. Instead, the bow piece itself has to carry out the release of these forces, which will inevitably cause damage to the bow.

Similarly, short arrows are much shorter than long arrows, and their weight will be lighter. Lighter arrows will cause greater damage to the bow and reduce the lifespan of the bow. In addition, the safety of the arrows is very problematic. If you accidentally shoot the arrows, the arrows will hit the hand holding the bow. In short, compared with the advantages and disadvantages, the arrows are really a way to be unable to obtain resources in the face of a closed environment and have no choice but to force them. The reason why ancient North Korea developed a complete system of arrows, from tools to shooting methods, wasn’t it because of poverty?

Muskets are much more economical than bows and arrows. The materials required are basically wood, steel and copper, which are easy to obtain, and are easy to expand production scale and have a short production cycle. The main material of the bullet is lead, which is also easy to process. The specifications of the bullets are uniform and the processing technology is simple. They can be produced on a large scale through casting, and the cost is extremely low. The price of a finished bullet is now controlled at about twenty cents, several times cheaper than arrows.

Compared with the two, the economics of muskets are obvious, easy to produce, and can withstand the consumption of large-scale wars. The production cycle of bows and arrows is long. Unless there is a large reserve, a large war will lead to an imbalance in supply and demand. In addition, the cost is high, and a large amount of funds are required to support production, which cannot withstand long-term consumption at all...

Wang Yinglin was both respectful and ashamed when he listened to the little emperor's statement. He was respectful that the little emperor had to act farther than those of the self-proclaimed scholars, and had thought about everything carefully before doing it. Thinking about himself, when the little emperor wanted to expand the military weapon supervision in the late Qiongzhou period, he turned to produce firearms, and then changed his clothes to the entire army. At that time, many court officials saw the sharpness of firearms, but thought that this project cost a lot, and the crossbows and rocket launchers could also meet the needs of the current war. There was no need to install the entire army, and he was also one of his opponents.

Amid the opposition from the ministers, although the young emperor gave up the expansion of the military weapon surveillance, he instead allocated funds from the inner warehouse to reorganize the craftsman who built the weapons needed for the imperial court, and formed a new military training officer, and insisted on implementing his own policies on his own. Now it seems that the young emperor's strategy is completely correct, which not only enhances the combat effectiveness of the army, but also saves military expenditure.

At present, the Mongyuan Light Cavalry, which was disturbing the formation, was constantly changing its attack direction under its own blocking, but the former terrifying iron cavalry now became a tragic dog, running under the shooting of muskets and mortars, trying to avoid the barrage shot from the muskets, but they could not reach the range of the bow and arrow. They could only let go blindly and quickly escape. The arrows flying over had no lethality, but they accidentally took their lives.

"Your Majesty, the enemy cavalry has retreated!" The enemy cavalry, who changed directions and hit the head, suffered heavy losses, and even reassembling the entire team was difficult to complete. After hearing a few sob horns, Wang Yinglin hurriedly retreated back to the formation. Seeing this, Wang Yinglin said excitedly.

"It won't take long to come back. This is the moment of the decisive battle!" Zhao Bing looked at the sky. The sun had shifted southward, and they were lined up in the south. At a moment, the sunlight would just hit the eyes of his soldiers, making it difficult for them to aim and shoot. The generals of the Mongol Yuan were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time and would not give up this god-given opportunity, so he judged that the enemy was just temporarily stopping the attack, not to retreat in full.

"Your Majesty, why did all the flags fall?" Wang Yinglin nodded after hearing this, but saw the flag of the central army slowly descending, and pointed in surprise. He still knew some common sense in the army. On the battlefield, the main general mainly used five-sided and five-color flags to command each unit. The so-called five-sided and five-color flags are five-sided and five-color flags, including five-color flags, including red, black, blue, white and yellow. The front flag in the five-sided and five-color flags are red, the rear flag is black, the left flag is blue, the right flag is white, and the Chinese flag is yellow.

During the battle, the main general asked the five-color five-sided flags to raise all the five-colored and five-sided flags, and each unit should set up its formation according to the pre-war command position and face the enemy outward. Then the main general issued orders according to the development of the battle situation. For example, if other flags fall, only the red flag is raised, that is, the front battalion soldiers are prepared to listen to the orders and command changes, the black flag is required to prepare for the rear battalion soldiers, the green flag is required to prepare for the left battalion soldiers, the white flag is required to prepare for the right battalion soldiers, and the yellow flag is required to prepare for the central army headquarters, and the five flags are raised together to prepare for the entire army to change. When the five flags fall at the same time, the rest and recuperate on the spot. In this way, the chief officials of each unit need to pay attention to the central army's flags at all times and then command the soldiers to advance according to the direction of the five-color flags of the central army.

"Let's have a meal on the spot!" After the flag stopped in mid-air, two crisp gongs sounded on the battlefield, and then the army also sounded short trumpets. After one sound, the troops dismantled the battle formation and gathered the whole team again. After the second sound, they sat on the spot, and the campers immediately delivered hot soup and dry food. After three sounds, they started eating, and the weapons were closed and the safety was placed at hand, and the artillery was not left at the artillery position.

"Your Majesty, the whole army rests on the spot. What will happen to the enemy's surprise attack?" Wang Yinglin took a bowl of broth handed over by Tan Fei and a baked Hu cake, and asked with some concern.

"The enemy has just failed the trial attack and needs to be reassembled. The soldiers of our army have been in line for two hours since morning and are inevitably exhausted physically and mentally, but the war does not know when it will end, so we must rest and replenish our energy to fight again. As for the enemy, we may also launch a surprise attack, but our army will also remain alert. Once the enemy moves, we will be alert. Governor Wang, don't worry!" Zhao Bing held the bowl with one hand, blew a thick layer of oil floating on the broth, and took a sip and said with a smile.

"So that's it!" Wang Yinglin thought about it, how could the two armies be in a fight, and how could they eat and rest without any defense? He also saw whistle cavalry from each army, cruising between the two armies, and each unit also had troops to guard against, and still maintained a battle formation. He also felt that the question was naive and said with a smile.

"Governor Wang, this battle formation is not polite. You have to eat and drink big. I don't know when I can eat the next meal." Zhao Bing saw him sucking the broth in small mouthfuls, then put down the bowl and tear off a small bite of the cake and put it in his mouth to chew it, as if he was sitting at home, and couldn't help but remind him with a smile.

"Haha, Your Majesty's broth is too greasy, it's really hard for me to swallow it!" Wang Yinglin turned his face and saw that both the little emperor and the guards around him were drinking soup and eating cakes. In a blink of an eye, some people had already eaten two bowls of broth, two or three cakes. However, because the weather was cold, a layer of white oil had condensed on the edge of the bowl, and he smiled bitterly with embarrassment.

"Governor Wang is wrong. This oil is a good thing. It can not only replenish physical strength, but also resist cold. It cannot be wasted." Zhao Bing said, smearing the remaining corner of the Hu cake on the bottom of the bowl, rubbing the condensed white oil on it, putting it in his mouth without any concern and chewing it. At the same time, he handed the bowl to the guards beside him, indicating that it would fill it again.

"This..." Wang Yinglin couldn't help but feel nauseous when he saw this. He swallowed hard before pressing down the food that was rushing to his throat. But after hesitating for a while, he still imitated the little emperor, endured the nausea, and swallowed the things with his eyes closed. But his appearance made everyone laugh and made his face turn red.

After dinner, the little emperor was still very considerate and asked someone to cook strong tea in this brazier to relieve the greasiness for Wang Yinglin. He drank two cups regardless of his "image" before he felt a little refreshed. But at this moment, a sharp trumpet suddenly came in front of him, just like the sound of a swan. He looked up and put on a pergola with his hand in his hand, and saw the dispatched roar coming towards him shaking a yellow flag.
