Chapter 117: The Law of Battle

While the Ge family brothers were discussing, Qin Dongyang was quietly looking at the enemy who was in the whole team on the river beach.

The array has been arranged, it is not advisable to temporarily change the formation, the recruits are most afraid that the generals will not be calm, and the formation will be changed before the formation, and the elite of the veterans can be completed, but the recruits cannot.

The enemy general is also considered a master, you can see it.

Although the bandits on the river beach are chaotic, they are obviously very open, and the left and right wings are more substantial, and due to the large number of people, there are about 1,000 people in the middle of the road that should be a false move, and there will still be considerable pressure on the front.

The best way to deal with this kind of tactics of going around with two wings and bullying more people is of course to turn into a long snake and use a phalanx to deal with it.

The current defense of the Pinzi array is not as good as the phalanx and the circle array, and in terms of formation, Qin Dongyang lost one first.

But he also has no way, the character formation is thick, each other is horns, and the three battalions look at each other, which is the best formation for the army dominated by new recruits.

Qin Dongyang turned his head and glanced at his left hand, the letter battalion was on his left back, there were the Ge family brothers and many Gushan thieves as officers, he should be able to rest assured.

The Zhongzi battalion is brought by Qin Dongyang himself, and there are famous martial artists such as Lin Cunxin and Li Fuxiang in the battalion of 500 people, and the leather armor and a small amount of iron armor are concentrated in this battalion.

The right side should have been Xu Zixian's position, but Xu Zixian had already gone to the guerrilla to attack the enemy, and at the same time took away quite a lot of old Chengya generals and Gao Shilai and others, the Yizi battalion was obviously weakened a lot, fortunately, there was Liu Yi, and the martial arts were not under Qin Dongyang and the Ge family brothers, because he was easy-going, Liu Yi was also very popular with the soldiers, and hoped that he could have an excellent performance.

Qin Dongyang only hated the lack of strong crossbows in the army, if there were dozens of bed crossbows plus Baishen arm crossbows, dozens of crossbows, and all crossbows fired in unison, this was the characteristic of the forbidden army.

Now the enemy is about 200 paces, and the effective damage range of the bed crossbow and the tension crossbow is within the effective killing range.

A few rounds of powerful arrows can shoot those messy bandits and run around!

Qin Dongyang thought with regret, there are not many archers among the martial arts, each battalion has thirty sword cards, two hundred guns, two hundred and seventy archers, this configuration, the number of sword players and sword players is slightly more, according to the Great Wei military system, it should be ten sword cards, one hundred guns, four hundred archers, in case of battle, bed crossbows, hard step bows, divine arm bows, that is, hands, crossbows, plus waist crossbows, kick crossbows, these strong bows and hard crossbows carry out all-round long-range strikes.

Theoretically speaking, this long-range firepower coverage style of play is quite advanced, and it is invincible to deal with enemies in the history of the Great Wei, such as Xiqiang, Beiyu, and Southwest Yi and Shengmiao.

However, against the Donghu people, who are very good in their infantry and cavalry tactics, and also have a very large number and quality of archers, this method of warfare is quite disadvantaged.

The enemy cavalry came and went like the wind, from time to time with heavy cavalry to raid the rear of the Wei army, and finally from the flank archers to break in with heavy cavalry, and then with light cavalry pursuit, several heavy defeats of the Great Wei army are related to the excellent tactics of the enemy cavalry.

But in this situation, if there are a large number of hard crossbows, the situation is quite favorable.

Qin Dongyang took a deep breath, no matter what, the battle always has to be fought, the prince has high hopes for himself, he hopes that he will not live up to the prince, nor can he live up to these soldiers in front of him, these days, these soldiers have received ten times more training than the forbidden army every day, in order to protect their hometown and relatives, and the right money issued by the son of the world.

What Qin Dongyang hated deeply was that he didn't have the ability to get better standard hard bows for the archers, and he couldn't get bed crossbows and all kinds of hard crossbows.

But what if there is no crossbow?

At least now, Qin Dongyang has not heard any complaints, and the soldiers have not been demoralized because of the lack of armor, hard crossbows, and strong bows.

Now everyone should be thinking about protecting their families, and everyone is of the same mind, listening to the heavy and dull breathing of the soldiers around him, Qin Dongyang suddenly let go of his defense, and his slightly tense body also relaxed.

Although there are many enemies, Qin Dongyang still feels that the balance of victory is always tilted towards his side.

……

The enemy on the opposite side finally finished the team, but it still looked like a mess.

Neither of them lined up, with spears, spears, and knives, huddled together in a haphazard manner, and their weapons looked like a chaotic mass of bushes, of varying lengths, and one feared that they would slash and stab themselves.

There are also many strange and strange weapons, which are only in the legends.

Liu Yizhu held two narrow barrier knives, and the soldiers around him were already talking to mock those Jiang bandits, and he didn't care, he boosted morale on his side, why bother suppressing it?

Even if Liu Yi himself, when he saw those long sticks, short sticks, maces, short axes, Xuanhua axes, ghost head knives, and all kinds of long and short spears decorated with red tassels, and big knives of various shapes, why didn't he smile?

"I don't know if I can rush back?" Someone muttered softly.

"The prince was also ordered to fight the thief." The other said, "Do you doubt the son?" ”

"Of course not." The warrior who spoke earlier said: "If the prince is in front of our camp, my heart will be much more stable. ”

"The prince will rush back." Liu Yi, who had not spoken, turned his head to look at the many soldiers, grinned, and said, "You have been with him for a few months, don't you know him?" If the prince can't come back, I will eat the two knives in my hand, and I won't even let go of the handles. ”

These words caused many soldiers to laugh, and the originally quite nervous mood was also eased a lot.

In any case, the Yizi battalion is Xu Zixian's one-handed conditioning and command, and the military attache of this battalion is almost recognized by him from the head of the capital to the sentry officer, the team officer, and the captain.

Even with more than 500 soldiers, Xu Zixian can recognize more than half of them, and they can call out their names in a short time.

Of course, the soldiers hoped that Xu Zixian would be in the team at this time and be able to lead them to meet the enemy, of course, they did not suspect that Xu Zixian was afraid of the battle and fled......

Liu Yi nodded slightly, no matter what, Xu Zixian's few months of water grinding work were not in vain, and his prestige in the regimental training army was incomparable.

Liu Yi was also slightly worried, his words were very full, but in fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, if the enemy in the direction of Taniguchi also ambushed heavy troops, even if he won, it would take a lot of time, he was not worried about the battle situation here, but worried about whether Xu Zixian would have any accidents.

For more than a month, Xu Zixian has been practicing the art of swordsmanship, practicing breathing, exerting force, and moves, but the time is too short, and now Xu Zixian is still outside the martial arts, and he has not entered the door of martial arts.

The real master is calm on the battlefield, and after adjusting his breathing, the power moves are all in the peak state, every time he swings a knife, he will kill someone, even if it is a master of the same level, life and death are between a few breaths...... Xu Zixian is still far from such a level, and he is still short of water mill kung fu and actual combat experience.

If Liu Yi has an understanding, it is very likely that Xu Zixian will be able to peek into the door of martial arts after the battle in front of him?

……

"It's moving, it's moving."

In front of Xu Ziwei and Xu Ziwen, a large group of thieves began to charge up the river embankment.

The size of a few thousand people, even a rabble, is quite impressive when they gather and charge.

Countless knives and guns were wielded, and the thieves let out a tsunami-like cry, which was used to strengthen their courage and also to deter those regimental training who were stationed by the river.

"It's a bit hard to attack on your back." Li Gu poured himself wine calmly, and said with a smile: "However, there are masters in the Pu family, and the wings go over, avoiding the middle formation arranged by heavy troops, once surrounded, the situation of the soldiers is not good." ”

Xu Ziwei took the wine glass with red eyes, drank it all, and said: "People say that Qin Dongyang is a rare good player, both a hundred enemies and ten thousand enemies, and now I think he is also an ordinary reckless man......"

Xu Ziwen didn't speak, it was the first time he saw the battle formation, and he was extremely excited at this moment. Seeing thousands of people fighting against each other, he felt that his previous conceit and pride had suddenly become shattered.

Why is this so, Xu Ziwen was a little ignorant, and when he thought about it, he was also shocked.

The peaceful years, of course, are the highest in terms of literature. In troubled times, the most important martial arts.

Could it be that Great Wei has come to troubled times?

Although I wanted to explain myself, this thought was firmly in my mind, and I couldn't go.

If it was twenty years ago, when there were occasional pirates on Fujian Road, and the interior was still quite calm and stable, the Pu family dared to use private troops to attack the imperial court regiment so openly?

The authority of the imperial court has been moved downward, the decrees have not been repaired, and the prestige is declining, the more Emperor Chongde wants to cheer up, the more chaotic the world will be, it seems that Dawei has a noose around his neck, and he is about to strangle himself to death.

"Let go of the arrows." At this time, Xu Ziwei came over and brought a glass of wine, he looked like a martial artist, which made Xu Ziwen feel disgusted.

However, the eyes also looked at the riverside, and more than 3,000 people had indeed rushed to the halfway point of the river embankment.

The embankment was renovated when the imperial court was strong during the Wenzong period, and it was only maintained for more than 100 years, but it was repaired at that time, and hundreds of thousands of people repaired it for nearly two years before it was successful.

The reinforced embankment, diversion canal, flood discharge area, and the grass and trees have not been flooded in Fujian for more than 100 years, and they also rely on this tall and gentle river embankment.

Now the ant-colony of thieves has rushed to the half-waist, and the red flags in the ranks of the soldiers by the river can be heard, and the rhythm of the drums can be heard.

Xu Ziwen also knew that this was the drum sound of the order to release arrows, and all the archers had to release the arrows according to the rhythm of the drumbeat, and the fast or slow was mastered by the officers through the drumbeat, and not each archer could do it at will.

When the first drum sounded, about 800 or so archers released the first round of arrows.

Because the thief is halfway up, the angle cannot be grasped in flat shooting, so the regimental training soldiers use elevation angle projectiles.

Suddenly there were black clouds floating in the air, and there was still the slanting sun shining, and the reeds on the shore were also very bright from the burning fire, but the sky suddenly seemed to turn black, and the dense arrows blocked the light, and were thrown into the air at the height of the river embankment.
