200th Post: Onward, to Patreon!

Concept art by 墨一 on leewiART. I put it here just for the mood.
It's that time of the year again! Lo and behold, 200th post!

Also, Patreon!

Patreon Great Ming Military

No, wait, don't click the link just yet......or rather, you are welcomed to click it, but I haven't put anything on my Patreon page yet. I am certainly not the most tech-savvy person around, and Patreon's interface will take some getting used to. I am also still undecided on what to put there (any suggestion?). Although I do write stuffs, I do not consider myself a "creator" in the strictest sense.

But hey, "there's nothing to lose for trying out", or so I heard. So stay tuned!

Shield formation of Luo Gong Chen (羅拱辰) — Part 2

UPDATED DECEMBER 08, 2021


Ming Dynasty Infantry Formation
Conjectured Luo Gong Chen's full formation. Alternatively, shieldmen (both light and heavy), pikemen and archers (both bow and crossbow) may form only three ranks, similar to his original formation. This image is doctored and pieced together from 'Wu Bian Qian Ji (《武編前集》), 'Ji Xiao Xin Shu (《紀效新書》)', 'Shen Qi Pu (《神器譜》)' and 'Wu Bei Zhi (《武備志》)' by myself.
