Back then, in order to see if the wolf could resist the spear, Chen Xian and a netizen tore it for a day and a night, and were almost beaten in the face.

At that time, Chen Xian, like most netizens, thought that the wolf could not resist the spear, as for the reason...... Isn't it obvious? How could a sparse bamboo branch block a spear's stab? Moreover, the bamboo with miscellaneous branches is clumsy and heavy, and it is inconvenient to wield, and it is impossible to use the leather method in marksmanship, so how can you stop the spear?

What are the facts?

In fact, the wolf can really block the spear, and it's easy, the way to do it is to set up a gun.

The wolf in the mandarin duck formation is generally five meters long, and the spear used by Japanese ashigaru is also about five meters long.

With such a long weapon, the two sides have to cross a distance of at least four meters from the moment the weapon touches the enemy to the point of poking, and before this distance is crossed, the weapons of both sides will definitely cross, that is, there will be a situation where the spear is inserted into the branch of the wolf's whire.

At this time, imagine what will happen if the wolf whisk pulls the wolf whisk up?

Will the spear inserted in the wolf's branch be stuck in the air by the wolf's branch?

A five-meter spear, the barrel must not be too thick, otherwise it will be too heavy, and the quality of the spear in the hands of ordinary pirates will not be too good, and the barrel of a five-meter spear with a thin and bad quality will definitely not be too hard, and the softer the barrel, the more difficult it will be to get rid of it after being stuck by the wolf.

Waiting for the wolf to hold the enemy's spear in the air, the long grabber behind the wolf hand took a step forward, and the six-meter-long inferior bamboo pole spear in his hand pushed forward, "Pounce!" ”……

This is the correct way to open the wolf on the battlefield.

Even if the spear on the opposite side breaks through the wolf, there is a shield hand and a captain in armor in front of the wolf's hand to correct the error, which can be described as an iron wall.

Speaking of boring palladium, boring palladium is a long spear with two curved transverse branches near the head of the gun.

Why is boring palladium a weapon that is both offensive and defensive?

Needless to say, boring palladium can be used as a gun.

What about Shou? You can imagine that if you place a four-meter-long boring palladium one-meter-wide horizontal branch vertically, and then wave the boring palladium ...... horizontally, is it equivalent to a shield with a meter down one side and a shield with a swing amplitude on the left and right?

If you are a palladium boring player and a Japanese ashigaru is holding a five-meter-long spear with a relatively soft barrel rushing towards you, you only need to shake the boring palladium slightly to easily open the opponent's spear, because your boring palladium is shorter and the torque is greater, even if your strength is not as good as the opponent's, you can easily block the spear.

Even if more than one spear comes at you, you can swing your palladium more and block it for a short time.

You have to remember that you are not fighting alone, you only need to block for a moment, and the long grabber behind you can drop the spear to help you, and in the gap between you slapping the opponent's spear, the spear handed up behind you takes the opportunity to push, "Pounce!" ”……

This is the way the Mandarin Duck Formation fights.

When defending, it can be divided into two rows of horizontal rows or four rows of horizontal rows, and when attacking, it can be turned into two columns, and when pursuing, the entire mandarin duck array can also be divided into two or even three squads for flexible mobility......

Such a way of fighting has indeed taken small-scale infantry combat into account to the extreme.

Chen Xian, who often dreamed of the tragic situation in Lujiazhuang, desperately wanted a force to protect himself, so he naturally thought of the Mandarin Duck Array.

After completing the formation queue training, Chen Xian began to train the three apprentice teams with the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Taking into account the strength of the teenagers, coupled with the regulation of observing the use of weapons by Yang Jiazhuang, Chen Xian reduced the length of the various weapons of the Mandarin Duck Array in the historical records.

He lowered the length of the wolf lance to four meters, the length of the boring palladium to three meters, and the length of the bamboo spear to five meters, because Chen Xian found that the length of the spear used by Yangjiazhuang Ding was only four and a half meters long, which was shorter than the three guns used by the Japanese ashigaru in the record.

When the length is reduced, the weight of these weapons is also reduced.

Several of the weapons used in the Mandarin Duck Formation are quite cheap.

The bamboo gun is the simplest, the bamboo of moderate thickness is slightly trimmed, and the front end is equipped with the head of the gun.

The wolf whisk is also easy, cut the moderate thickness of the bamboo, pinch the head and remove the tail, leaving the first half of the branches, and install a short spear head at the front end to become the wolf whisk.

Boring palladium is slightly more complicated, but it is also limited, Chen Xian himself is a blacksmith, it is not difficult to build a boring palladium head, and then install a wooden handle of the right thickness.

To put it bluntly, the long card is a rectangular wooden board, let the Zhang brothers plank a few thin wooden boards, nail the horizontal and vertical ribs, and then install the iron handle.

The rattan card is also simple, there are craftsmen in the Zhuangzi who can weave the frame, and the rattan card is not a problem.

Chen Xian equipped the teenagers with weapons, and when he pulled them out for training in a nervous mood, he was ridiculed by Wu Liang and other Yang family Zhuang Ding.

The other party really didn't understand what a group of half-grown children could do with a bamboo pole that didn't even go to the branches.

Faced with Fang's ridicule like this, Chen Xian felt relieved.

He was originally afraid that he would be taboo by the Yang family and the Bai family by training apprentices with military formations, but now that he was despised and ridiculed, he put his mind at ease.

Chen Xian explained along with the ridicule of others: "This is the art of the thief passed down by a certain ancestor, I didn't take it seriously before, but this time I fell into trouble, and when I thought about it, I tried it." ”

The ridicule of others reassured Chen Xian, but made the apprentices aggrieved, if it weren't for Chen Xian having established prestige among the apprentices, I am afraid that this group of boys would have disobeyed the yin and yang.

This situation continued until Chen Xian organized confrontation training for the first time.

Chen Xian divided the three squads into two opposing sides, one of which was a mandarin duck formation, and the other two squads formed a phalanx commonly used in the training of the Yang family.

This phalanx is divided into three armies, the left, the center, and the right, with the middle army having a larger number and facing the front, and the left and right armies being smaller in number and guarding the two wings.

The Chinese army generally consisted of eight horizontal platoons.

The first row is for crossbowmen, the second and third rows are for archers, who are responsible for long-range strikes before engagement, the fourth row is for knife players, equipped with long cards and hand knives, and the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth rows are all long sought-after.

The left and right armies are three columns, the outermost column is each a column for the knife player, and the inner side of the knife player is each two columns of long sought-after.

During the battle, the left and right armies turned to the left and right sides respectively, forming three horizontal rows facing the left and right sides of the phalanx to provide cover for the flanks of the Chinese army.

When fighting, the ranged shooters in the first three rows first strike the enemy before engagement, and when the enemy approaches, the ranged shooters turn around and retreat from the gap in the melee array to the rear team, looking for an opportunity to shoot forward.

For such a while, it is generally one hundred and fifty people, eighty people in the Chinese army, and a total of fifty people in the left and right armies, called Yidu, and the Yang family has a total of two people.

There were only twenty-two people in the two squads under Chen Xian, and the number was too small, so he could only save the left and right armies, and only deploy the Chinese army.

Even in the Chinese army, twenty-two people could not put up eight rows, Chen Xian reduced the eight rows to four rows, the first row for archers, the second row for sword players, and the third and fourth for long sought-after.
