Chapter III. Sword Asks Beiyan 265.Tiger Returns to the Deep Mountains (7)
In the past several "frolicking and fighting" between the two sides, Guo Yunsong has also seen it with his own eyes, and there are really a few decent water thieves, always carrying a longbow and a quiver on their waists, and before the two sides officially start fighting, they hide in a dark corner in advance and no one pays attention to them, always ready to release cold arrows; But once the fight officially starts, they will immediately expose their stupid face that they can't do anything at all! Although the posture of opening the bow and arrows is decent, he only knows that he is stunned and shoots at the enemy; If it is a battle between two ships on the sea, of course, there is not much problem with the angle of flat shooting, anyway, the wind and waves are strong and the ship is shaking, and the accuracy and inaccuracy are not all relying on blindness; But when they stood on land with their legs on their legs, they still only knew how to shoot flat.
This kind of small alley is like driving pigs straight away, even if you can make a gain, it must have shot your own people!
And many laymen think that between the elevation and the flat firing, it is just a simple arm lifting, which can be easily mastered without special training; After all, upward shooting is to calculate the parabola, while flat shooting is to calculate the straight line, and it is not just a problem that can be easily solved by how much the tip of the arrow is raised!
From this point of view, the water thieves of the Minjiang River who have not undergone professional training must be useless in archery; Coupled with the chaos around them, they can also be called long-range protection in a sense; This also prompted Guo Yunsong to dare to kill and slash in the crowd even without the protection of shield soldiers and shamans, and completely passed the addiction of ten thousand enemies!
As for the kind of marksman who can still accurately hit the enemy chief in the midst of the chaos, it is not nothing; But no matter how bad they are, they will never fall to the point where they need to be in the company of a gang of water thieves! In other words, the people who can restrain Guo Yunsong, although they can raise the Liangjiang Alliance, they can't recruit them at all!
As for the cold archers who can only shoot their own people now, whether it is for Guo Yunsong or the Sea Shark Gang, the more the better! Therefore, Guo Yunsong did not worry about the problem of cold arrows, and still held the knife with both hands and moved forward slowly step by step......
Although at the beginning of the battle, there was some sense of parity between the two sides; However, as time slowly moved forward, the initial blood and passion were completely consumed by the sound of bones rubbing in the ears, the cries and wails of the seriously wounded, and the growing smell of blood; And the sharpness and bravery that were originally stirring in his chest also passed away with the rapidly disappearing physical strength. All the Sea Shark Gang members have already felt the taste of the precursor of detachment.
Charging on the battlefield, like running a long distance, will always meet the time of exhaustion. When you think you have touched the limit of physiology, if you can grit your teeth and get through, your own feelings will break through to another level, and your strength will be re-infused into Zhou's body; But when running long distances, all you need to overcome is the inertia in your heart and the soreness of your muscles; But now that the Sea Shark Gang is at the limit of their physiology for the first time, they need to overcome not only psychological and volitional problems, but also countless enemies and blades.
This is the first watershed in the gap between veterans and newcomers! Including Guo Yunsong, whose body has lived up to the courage of the year, all the old pirates from the Sea Shark Gang, after their physical strength is on the verge of the limit, they are stepping up and waving their two sore and swelling arms, regardless of whether they can have the effect of attack or defense, everyone sped up the speed of action by a few points out of thin air, so as to quickly break through the physiological limit, so that the power is re-injected into the limbs and hundreds of bones that are about to be exhausted; And those newcomers from civilian backgrounds, because they have no relevant experience in this area, most of them choose to stop charging forward, planning to wait for a complete relief before running a few steps to catch up with those who seem to be tireless......
As a result, the sharp arrow formation that Guo Yunsong instructed to put forward had an accident that was seriously disjointed between the front and rear formations at this critical juncture.
As the name suggests, the so-called Arrow Array is like an arrow without tail feathers, and it is not complicated. Because the vanguard of this formation will form a stable triangle, and the rear army will form a long snake formation, which can largely resist the enemy's attack on our left and right flanks, so as to avoid the vanguard too deep, which will cause your own side to fall into the hinterland of the enemy formation. The practical application of this formation is mostly composed of some brave and resolute, brave and good fighting elite soldiers to form arrows; Another soldier with superb martial arts and experienced experience as a sharp arrow, quickly broke through the enemy's defensive formation, and smashed the flag of the Chinese army.
When everyone in the art of war faces the enemy army and puts up a sharp and arrow formation, if they have full confidence in the soldiers under their command, most of them will put the same formation to hedge against it; If you win in the mutual exclusion of the two arrows, you can greatly boost morale and unite the morale of the army; If there is a lack of a brave general in your camp who can take on the heavy responsibility, then you should put on a Yanling formation that looks like "two mountains and a ditch", and let the enemy's arrows smash the Yellow Dragon, even if you stab your own army formation, it doesn't hurt; As soon as the vanguard of the arrow part passed through the formation, the two left and right armies of their own two armies like the wings of a wild goose moved closer to the middle at the same time, forming a left and right flanking attack, intercepting the rear army of the arrow part in one fell swoop, and completely annihilating it through the encirclement of the regiments.
These are two extremely common formations, and the application skills are not unfathomable; But the art of war is generally recorded in the book of war; And these water thieves from the Minjiang River, even if they can write their own names, can be called reading seeds, how can they understand the so-called method of breaking the formation?
Therefore, the reason for the disconnect between the front and back formations is all due to these people and laborers with extremely low tactical literacy. They would never have imagined that they would just slow down and catch a few breaths of air due to exhaustion! Such a short period of stagnation can lead to a disjointed formation in the front and rear, and make yourself deeply surrounded by enemy forces?
It turned out that this person who broke the formation was actually in the formation!
Why does Guo Yunsong deliberately maintain his forward speed? Of course, it's not because the White Tiger Broadsword in his hand is too heavy; It's not because of old age and frailty, and there is a lack of energy. It's that he's been worried about the disjointed formation in front of him! However, because he didn't have any enemies under him, he was killing and killing, and he who was originally in the center of the formation slowly turned into a sharp edge in front of the arrow! However, this does not seem to be a problem, after all, he can quickly break the enemy's defense line, and then completely cut the enemy's formation, so as to disintegrate the fighting confidence of these Minjiang water thieves......
However, the old man still looked down on this group of Minjiang water thieves, they are all big bosses, where did they get what formation and front to cut him off? Before the battle began, the reason why these people would get together was only to follow the social instinct of human habitual gathering; Coupled with the number of nearly 1,000 people, although it doesn't sound too much; But in fact, from a distance, it is also an endless sea of people, and it is also a pile of black heads!
Since the war between the two sides, these Minjiang water thieves have been like sheep on the grassland and hide in a hurry, and scatter as soon as they rush. This water thief also has the advantage of a water thief, they have long been accustomed to the way of fighting for themselves and fighting for themselves, they are a group of stragglers who are used to fighting chaotic battles and fighting alone, and there is no thought of defeat in their minds at all.
Their thinking is very simple: since Old Man Guo is ruthless, let's avoid him first! The group of panting people behind him seemed to be tired, so it was better to run to the sick duck first!
Look, although the water thieves in the Minjiang River haven't read any books, they still have some cleverness, at least they know the truth of avoiding the real and attacking the false.
Through the tacit cooperation formed by the two sides unintentionally, the arrow part composed of Guo Yunsong and the old pirates penetrated through the enemy group in one go; As for the newcomers who are arrows, they are all trapped in the enemy camp because of their own stupidity! Sixty or seventy newcomers who ran to the top of their breath were surrounded by a group of Minjiang water thieves who were about ten times their number and wanted to avenge their clansmen, waiting for their fate, so it was not to be asked!
Guo Yunsong, who had been deliberately suppressing the speed of advance, also felt a little puzzled at this time: Why is there no small number of enemy troops, but fewer and fewer people are swinging at him? And even after he took the initiative and cut a certain unlucky ghost in two, the rest of the brothers of the same clan didn't even look at him anymore, and actually fled behind him at full speed? This kind of abnormal behavior is not at all the Minjiang water thieves who put the concept of blood relatives first, and the fighting style on weekdays?
As the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, Guo Yunsong, who only knew how to charge forward in this life, glanced back in the middle of the charge for the first time......
He saw that the countless water thieves of the Minjiang River were huddled together not far behind them as if they were green-headed flies that had smelled blood; And right now, there are only about two dozen men left around him! Rao is Guo Yunsong's lifelong battle, and today's painful experience of losing most of his life after the first charge is also a strange thing he has never encountered!
When he found that the sixty or seventy men were besieged, he intended to quickly turn the arrows and kill them one by one, so as to free all the trapped brothers; But the extremely sober reason in his mind quickly stopped this kind of thought, which was extremely in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes.
Guo Yunsong has decades of battlefield experience, just looking at the fanatical look on the face of the Minjiang water thieves, it is enough to deduce the battle situation in the encirclement! Indeed, a guy who doesn't want to die initiates madness, and it is difficult for ten normal people to control; However, when they lose their backbone, it is equivalent to losing their last chance to go crazy!
Don't look at the fact that they can still besiege the city back to back in a battle circle, but once there is a gap somewhere, then these dozens of people will immediately turn into a flat boat in the storm, as long as a wave hits, they will disappear without a trace......
