Chapter 254: Tiger Cage Formation
Seeing that the permit was galloping forward, the two officers and soldiers did not flee from the horse, but one of them held a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, and greeted the permit.
Seeing this, the rogue in the back cheered even more.
Among these rogues, Xu Chang is known for his high military strength, and a big red tasseled gun in his hand is the most rigid and fierce hard gun, dancing vigorously and fiercely, since the rod was revealed, there are not 100 officers and soldiers who have died in his hands, but also 80, among which there is no lack of officers and soldiers to explore horses.
In the eyes of the rogues, the officers and soldiers were purely looking for death.
The permission change is a sneer.
He loves to play with guns, and he loves to play with guns in front of others.
Especially in front of others, he played a gun and killed people, and then listened to the people around him marvel again and again, praising him for his strong martial arts and unparalleled marksmanship.
The short-eyed officers and soldiers took the initiative to send them to the door, and he was desperate.
Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, he let go of the reins of his horse, raised his big gun with both hands, and stared at each other tightly as if he were staring at prey.
When the other party approached, Xu suddenly poked out a large gun and swept towards the other party.
His marksmanship is a fierce one, and there is no fancy to speak of.
The officer and soldier leaned into the horse, and the whole person lay on the horseback, the round shield in his left hand held diagonally in front of him, and the long knife in his right hand leaned upward.
With a "bang", the big gun grazed past the round shield, and the next moment, his arm flew out with the big gun.
"Ah......h
Xu Chang covered his shoulders and screamed, his body suddenly crooked again, and he fell off the horse alive and passed out.
The officer and soldier circled around the flank of the rogue army, carefully observed the formation of the rogue army, and then rode back, dragging the unconscious Xu Chang away unhurriedly.
There was silence in the Liukou array, and they stared blankly at each other swaggering away, and after a while, there was a sudden commotion.
Tuo Yangkun, Zhang Fatzi and others had ugly faces, and hurriedly drank again and again, and finally quieted down the turbulent rogue.
Wang Guangen sighed inexplicably, and sang in the voice of "The Legend of Huaguan Suo": "If you get this, like a tiger with wings, why worry about big things?" ”
……
When Qin Chuan arrived in the west of Pingding City, he saw that Zhao Wu was dragging a corpse back, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "Zhao Wu, don't you just cut the head back, why drag a corpse back?" ”
Zhao Wu replied with a smile: "My lord, this guy is not dead, but he was marked to cut off an arm, fell off the horse and fainted. ”
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan became interested all of a sudden, dismounted and walked over to take a closer look, and then opened the other party's clothes, and saw that he was wearing a chain mail with a few rotten holes.
"It's the leader."
"Take off this chain mail, bandage his wounds, and keep it and send it to Xu Dingchen, the living person is much more valuable than the head."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan looked at Zhao Wu again and asked, "Are you not injured?" ”
"No, this guy's marksmanship is different from Liao San's gun, he walks the hard-gun path from the most rigid to the fierce, but his arm is numb, and now it's fine."
"It's okay, come on, give Zhao Wu a credit."
"Thank you, sir."
"Well, how is the other party's formation?"
"There is no formation at all, just the sword and shield are in front, a small number of archers are in the center, the spears are on both sides, the cavalry is lined up behind the two wings, many people in the formation are still holding farm tools or wooden sticks, not even a decent weapon, the shields of the sword and shield hands are mostly made of wooden planks, and there are about a hundred archers."
"Well done."
Qin Chuan patted Zhao Wu's shoulder again. 16k Chinese
He originally wanted to let Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun rest for a few days, but there were few available nights in the army, and the hundred or so they trained could not be on their own, so they had to be brought out again and continue to let them train in marching battles at night.
After the permit was dragged down, Qin Chuan took out his binoculars and aimed at the army of rogues hundreds of steps ahead.
The camp of the army of nearly 10,000 people was wide and densely packed.
The other party wants to work hard with him in the open.
His Guan Emperor's army rarely fought this kind of frontal battle to fight more and less, and it was just right to train and train soldiers.
"Dismount, the tiger cage formation."
As soon as Qin Chuan gave an order, the 1,500 Guan Imperial Army moved one after another.
When Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu's two battalions of soldiers and horses were stationed in Jingle and Lan County, they practiced every day, various formations, defenses, surprise attacks, pursuits, and so on.
The Tiger Cage Formation is a formation created by Qin Chuan and several subordinates in Jiangwutang according to the characteristics of the Guan Emperor Army and the application of firearms.
It is characterized by concentrating firepower to attack the enemy's central army, breaking through the center with a cavalry, cutting through the enemy formation, simple and rude.
This expedition was easier to walk because of the route, so in addition to bringing twenty tiger squat guns, Qin Chuan also brought six small Fulong machine guns equipped with artillery carriages.
Now, the six Franc machines and the sixteen tiger squat cannons are all placed in the middle of the road, and there are five hundred Wudang battalion cavalry leading horses hidden behind, led by Liu Youzhu, ready to break through from the middle and launch a fatal blow at any time.
The artillery was covered by two hundred swords and shields on both sides, followed by two hundred musketeers, and on the outermost side were two hundred sword shields and two hundred spears, as well as four tiger cannons waiting to fight the opposing cavalry.
All men, including musketeers and artillerymen, were armed with three short javelins, which were tied to their backs, and when the enemy approached, they fired three rounds and then engaged the enemy in short combat.
Qin Chuan commanded in the rear, escorted by a hundred red-clothed attendants, and finally a dozen or so soldiers guarded the horses.
Dozens of men led by Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun did not collect at night, roaming around the periphery with bows, arrows and javelins, waiting to pick up the fleeing enemy troops, especially staring at the leader of the other party.
After the formation was set up, Qin Chuan gave an order, and the 1,500 Guan Emperor army maintained the formation and slowly pressed towards the Liukou army.
Tuo Yangkun and Zhang Fatzi and others on the opposite side have been staring at his formation.
After seeing the musketeers discharged from the two ribs of his formation, Tuoyangkun couldn't help but smile.
"Humph! This surnamed Qin is just a vain name, the two-ribbed bird gunner actually only stood in two rows, and there was no sword shield or spear cover behind him, just a bird gun that could only be fired in half a day, and the top hairy thing, such a thin formation, hundreds of elites could be broken. ”
"Everyone, let's gather six hundred old battalions to come out, hide behind the sword and shield hands, and then stand out when the battle is engaged, and break the surname Qin from the two ribs."
"Okay."
Zhang Fatzi was the first to respond.
Wang Guangen and the rest of the rogue leaders also agreed, and soon gathered out a 600-old camp and hid behind the sword and shield men on both sides.
"Kill."
As soon as Tuoyangkun gave the order, the Liukou army marched towards Emperor Guan's army in a chaotic manner.
Qin Chuan put down the binoculars, smiled, and said, "Go tell Li Dingliang and ask him to pay attention to the musketeers on the ribs, there are elites hidden behind the sword and shield hands on the other side's two ribs, and they should want to break in from the ribs." ”
"Yes."
Qin Chuan raised the telescope again and continued to observe the situation of the enemy army.
The Tiger Cage Formation seems to be the weakest part of the musketeer, and people who don't know much about Qin Chuan's firearms will probably think that his flintlock pistol, like the bird gun, is slow to load, and he can't shoot a shot in half a day, so he mainly attacks these two places.
Tuoyangkun and Zhang Fatzi and others are living examples.
In fact, Qin Chuan's flintlock pistols used fixed paper-wrapped ammunition, and extravagantly padded lead bullets with oil-soaked parchments, and after months of training, these musketeers were able to achieve a rate of fire of two rounds a minute against the enemy, twice as fast as the bird's gun, and the effective range was twenty or thirty paces farther.
It's enough to expand Yangkun and Zhang Fatzi to drink a pot.
