Chapter 123 is like a game

(Last night's two chapters were sent wrongly, causing inconvenience in reading, and it has been corrected overnight, but you can go back and reread yesterday's two chapters)

On the vast battlefield, an interesting phenomenon suddenly appeared.

The Shengfan army rushed forward in a chaotic manner, while the security regiment retreated in an organized manner. The distance between the two armies could not be narrowed, but it remained within the strike range of the security regiment and outside the range of the bamboo bow.

The long-range strikes of the security regiment have been effectively sustained, and although Shengban has a great advantage in troops, he is unable to attack, and is always passively beaten, bleeding constantly.

Less than half an hour after the battle began, Shengfan's casualties approached the 3,000 mark, but he couldn't shoot even a single bone arrow into the military formation of the security regiment with a bamboo bow.

A typical dimensionality reduction strike in the era of cold weapons.

This is the "security offensive" plan formulated by Cui Xiuning, the purpose of which is to minimize the casualties of his own side and pursue "zero casualties" to the greatest extent.

Why can't Ikuban make a bow with a rally force of more than one stone? Because they don't know how to make a strong bowstring, and they don't know how to make a strong bowbow.

The bowstring of a strong bow cannot be elastic, so it is necessary to add silk and linen cotton to animal tendons, and it is completed through several processes. Don't look at it as just a string, but the technical content, material requirements, and processing difficulty are not low.

How can the students do it? Not to mention the powerful bow arm.

The Japanese bow used by the security regiment is a composite bow made of three bamboo and a cinnabu wood core, which is very elegantly made, and with a sophisticated bowstring, the bow power can reach one stone, and it has the advantages of high head and fast rate of fire.

And the humble bow and arrow of Shengfan only has the power of half a stone bow. It's okay to shoot at close range in the jungle, but now you can only catch blind.

Not to mention the stone cannon machine, bed crossbow, and god arm bow.

Unfortunately, all the stone bullets, guns and arrows, and crossbow arrows have been used up.

After moving for a few miles, the benefits of the security regiment being at ease and waiting for work were highlighted, and everyone's physical strength was still very strong.

And the disadvantages of the labor expedition of the Shengfan coalition army are also highlighted. Shengfan came from the deep mountains and old forests, set off in the middle of the night, and walked here for hundreds of miles, and the physical exertion was extremely great.

Moreover, they didn't have any time to recover their strength before they went straight into battle, even if they were physically strong, they couldn't bear it at this time.

Their speed is getting slower, and the tactical retreat of the security regiment is becoming more and more calm. Although the crossbow fleet stopped attacking due to "running out of ammunition", the archers had not yet finished firing their arrows. As they retreated, they regained their arm strength and continued to shoot.

Dozens of cavalrymen, at this time, roamed behind Shengban like ghosts, shooting arrows at their backs, as if driving away the Shengban team.

The Shengfan coalition has been bleeding non-stop and dead.

Their morale finally fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahhh......hh

The roar is like a wounded beast, and it roars miserably.

What kind of grass is this?

Out of what grass!

The god of the mountains!

The blood of the sons and daughters is about to run dry, and they are about to lose their run, but the Han people just can't beat it!

Can't hit ...... Ahhh

Han people, not a single one died!

Looking back, the originally black-pressed team was obviously much less at this time, almost half empty.

He saw the eyes of his people again, and he saw in them the confusion, fear, and exhaustion that he had never seen before.

"It's over...... Can't rush anymore! I can't rush over......" Groggling suddenly understood.

But at this time, more than half of the casualties have been lost, can they still be withdrawn? How to withdraw?

The clansmen have walked so far on the mountain road, and they have run and tossed again, and they have no strength.

Remove?

Rush?

The Feather King, who has always been extremely resolute, sighed, and for the first time felt that the choice was so painful.

Cui Xiuning was in the rear and personally supervised the retreat tactics of the troops.

"Stand!"

"Turn back!"

"Put!"

"Turn backwards – run and go!"

Every 100 meters, the guards stopped and turned backwards, and after a volley, they turned back again and continued to run...... Cycle.

In the process of running, their arm strength has also recovered to a certain extent, and they can continue to draw the bow.

Cui Xiuning's tactic not only makes full use of the space advantage, but also alternates the arm strength and foot strength of the warrior, which greatly optimizes the power output.

The security guards continue to shoot arrows, what do the peasant soldiers who act as auxiliaries do? They also retreated with the tactics of the soldiers, handing arrows to their soldiers in one hand and melee weapons in the other.

At this time, the guards only had a few arrows each.

The Shengfan coalition army also suffered more than half of the casualties, and only three or four thousand people remained intact.

Of the eight chiefs, three were dead and two were wounded, and only the instigator and the other two were still bearded and tailed.

Even the linen banner with the cockscomb snake painted on it was in tatters.

Cui Xiuning finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

What she fears most is to scatter her forces and kill and plunder everywhere. In that way, although it will be beneficial for each to break through, the villages and people behind will have losses.

Fortunately, Shengfan really arrogantly chose the decisive battle.

Now that there are thousands of dead and wounded, exhausted and demoralized, it is already the end of the crossbow and can take on hand-to-hand combat.

Always give them a chance to fight.

It also gives your side a chance to fight in close combat. An army that can only attack from a distance and does not dare to see red with bayonets in a white-knuckle battle is not a real strong soldier.

It has only been an hour since I discovered Shengfan, but Cui Xiuning's mentality has changed dramatically.

Before, I was nervous and stressed, so I could only force my composure, and I also had an illusory feeling, as if everything in front of me was a dream.

Cui Xiuning knows that this is because of the psychological phenomenon of rejection of war and escape from killing.

But now, these negative emotions have been replaced by a strong sense of honor and responsibility.

At the same time, there is a new kind of self-confidence and pride, which is the feeling of commanding thousands of troops to win.

People's mood is detached, and it can often be stimulated by a small touch. What's more, she is facing a war of tens of thousands of people on both sides?

Even if this war is more like ...... A game!

Zhu Jaw suddenly reminded: "Madam, the time should be almost up." ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "The next step is to execute the order!" ”

Zhu Jaw received the order and gave orders to Hu Gu and Yang Xu, who commanded in front.

"Stand! Turn back! ”

"The whole team!"

"Shield!"

"Armor soldiers in front, no armor soldiers in the back!"

"Check your weapons and stand by now!"

The military formation of 2,000 people, which had been retreating before, immediately stopped at this time. Immediately afterward, a wooden shield more than one person high was arranged again to form a shield wall.

More than 1,000 peasant soldiers removed the lid of the pot behind their backs, preparing to defend against the rain of arrows and throwing guns.

You can imagine what a spectacular scene it would be to have more than 1,000 pot lids raised.

Although this is an asymmetric war, it highlights the importance of cohort training.

Without the mechanical monotonous queue training day after day, many tactical maneuvers on the battlefield are difficult to complete. The soldier's sense of execution will be greatly reduced.

Modern platoon training can raise the level of military formation, obedience awareness, pressure resistance, tactical movements, fighting will, and even collective honor of the classical army to a new height.

Therefore, we cannot pay too much attention to cohort training. If anyone thinks that queue training is a formalistic showmanship, it can only mean that his cognition is extremely naΓ―ve.

I didn't know whether to choose to continue to rush or retreat.

He already deeply regretted this joint grass.

Even if he returned with the rest of the people, his Feather Clan would fall from the position of the three major tribes.

When he returned, not only would he not be able to explain to the angry people, but he would also lose face among the mountains and seas, among the descendants of the mountain gods.

When he was at a loss, he suddenly saw the Han people in front of him stop.

It's not that you stop shooting arrows and run again, but you don't run, and you even seem to be ...... Wait for yourself to pass!

This scene immediately helped instigate a decision.
