After the red flag of the Chinese army was erected, a trumpet sounded.

Each squad and each outpost began to distance themselves as much as possible, but because this was a narrow valley terrain, the effect after pulling apart was not good, and the two thousand people looked like hedgehogs gathered in one place, and there was not much room for them.

This is especially true for archers, who have little room to use them, or even a few people standing in one place, taking turns shooting from their backs or flats.

Then Xu Zi first ordered the drumming to be beaten.

The distance from Chen Yutai and others is about three miles, that is, about 1,500 steps, one drum every ten steps, ten drums in 100 steps, and 100 drums in 1,000 steps.

The drums were monotonous and unsound, but when they were two miles away, when they were first out of the bush and gravel area, past several watchtowers and arrow towers, and past the wooden fence where the embers were still burning, the drums began to become agitated.

At this time, the horn sounded again, blowing a long, passionate feeling similar to the tone of a swan.

More than 2,000 soldiers and soldiers of the Xiang army shouted together, and their voices were like thunder, rolling past.

The pirates on the opposite side were also shouting, but compared to the neatness of the van army and the soldiers, the pirates' shouts seemed chaotic and weak.

In contrast to the two sides, the pirates are clearly starting to fall behind in terms of array, scheduling, and morale.

The pirates on the opposite side began to get anxious, and many big leaders led their subordinates to start shouting and scolding.

This only widened the gap between the pirates and the regular army, and apart from the neat horns to mobilize the soldiers to shout, there was no superfluous reaction on the side of the soldiers and the van army.

As they approached the distance of two hundred paces, the square circle arrays became more obvious. The small flags, whistle flags, and all flags of the squad are layered on top of each other, quite dense and neat, the pace is the same, all the soldiers walk in unison, making rustling footsteps, drum beats, horns, shouts, and the team of 2,000 people is like one person, and a small array is like layers of fish scales, overlapping and superimposed in one place.

It is not that there is no miscellaneous room in the middle, more than 300 box troops are actually placed on one wing, and most of the long weapons in their hands are replaced with barrier knives or ordinary waist knives, and then most of them are holding longbows, and most of the archers with more than 400 and less than 500 people are mostly Xiang soldiers.

They were on the outer flanks of the fish scales, Dong Ruixiang and Li Xingwu were not very satisfied with this arrangement, they thought that their subordinates were also old soldiers, and many of them were in the prime of life, brave and brave warriors.

However, after seeing the Nan'an warriors climbing down from both sides and the southern slope like birds and beasts, and the regimental training sharpmen selected strong players from the tooth generals and cavalry, easily defeated the more than 100 pirates guarding the fence area, stabilized the periphery, and protected the brave performance of the soldiers who formed a formation later, the two generals of the Xiang Army also had a trace of wavering and doubt about the ability of their subordinates.

After all, what the team training striker can do, it seems to be a little difficult for his own subordinates to do?

Even when climbing to the north slope, the road was difficult and difficult, many people's bodies were torn by gravel, and when their bodies were drenched in blood, there was no shortage of complaints, frustration, and morale was inevitably a little low, and they had some pessimistic views on the results of the climb.

At this time, the soldiers of the Nan'an regiment training were silent, but continued to follow the military attachés forward, not silent, not complaining, and not pretending to be strong.

At that time, Dong Ruixiang and Li Xingwu's beliefs were shaken even more.

His own soldiers seem to be far from the soldiers?

This kind of thought is difficult to suppress, and when they reach the bottom of the hill, when the soldiers of the Xiang army are still looking for the officers and their own places to stand, the soldiers have already completed the whole team, if it is not for the archers of the Xiang army, I am afraid that the soldiers of 1,700 people would have been able to beat the drum and move forward.

The gap above the array seems to have been widened.

When the fish scales are formed and the soldiers adjust their breathing and move forward in unison with the beat of the drum, this gap seems to be more obvious.

At the last moment, the soldiers of the Xiang army have been impressed by the soldiers, and when they heard the sound of the copper whistle and saw the soldiers and archers stop and wind the longbows, these soldiers also hurried to do the same thing, and by this time, the last bit of arrogance in their hearts also disappeared without a trace.

It is an honor to be an archer in such an army.

However, the soldiers of the Xiang army feel sad that in the forbidden army, the crossbowman is required to be a tall and strong man, and the requirements for the archer are not low, in terms of dress, treatment, and standards, the archer or crossbowman is actually higher than the ordinary forbidden soldier.

But in the Nan'an regimental training, the standard treatment of archers and crossbowmen seems to be a little lower than that of ordinary soldiers.

It is to support, harass the enemy, and shoot at the enemy's long-range forces, so that they cannot safely cover the attacking soldiers with a rain of arrows, and other than that, there is nothing else.

In the forbidden army, the archers are the main force to defeat the enemy, and they are also the main force of defense.

"Two red flags, five steps and one drum!"

The drums began to beat quickly, and after fifty paces, the distance between the two sides was one hundred and fifty paces, by which time the pirate's bow had been wound and was ready to be fired.

Xu Zi looked at everything first, and only the pirate array not far away in his eyes was in his eyes.

At this time, if he has enlightenment, war is like this.

The training, equipment, morale, command sequence and formation of your own side must be prepared to stop, and at the same time, it depends on whether the other side is willing to fight.

A battle is a war in which both sides have the desire to win, or neither side can lose, and the war in front of us is a war that neither side can lose.

Then it depends on the location, the morale of both sides, the number of people, and the equipment, and also depends on the training of the soldiers and the formation they have opened.

Judging from the geographical environment occupied by the pirates, the most basic use of the terrain was still achieved.

But that's it.

The pirates' wings were spread wide open, which caused the pressure of the bow and arrow to be quite dispersed, which was not conducive to bringing more and greater damage to the raiding soldiers in the first place, causing greater pressure.

When they were in the middle of the line, they probably wanted to use the archers to give the soldiers more damage and then counterattack by surprise, but this approach seemed to be weak-hearted, and it was easy for the soldiers to have more space when they broke through.

The distance between them is thick and thin, long and short, and it looks quite incongruous.

It's not that the pirates are unwilling to set up a tight array, it's not that they don't want to, but they don't have the relevant training after all, and the pirates' warfare is either to raid the people or to fight the sailors at sea.

The form of naval warfare is still quite scattered at present, basically a chaotic battle, each other at the corner, using the wind to press the wind on the enemy ship, using the eight-bull crossbow to shoot the enemy ship, the angle of the attack, the jump gang battle relies on courage and personal combat strength, naval combat is very difficult, and there is no need for training and tactics of the array battle, which has caused the pirates to be fierce and fierce, but they are not good at the status quo of array warfare.

Xu Zixian nodded slightly, knowing that he didn't need to hesitate, hesitate, or panic.

The fruits of this victory, at this moment, he is already very sure that he can pick it in his hands.

"Three red flags, three steps and one drum!"

Gao Shi came to listen to the order, and waved the big flag in his hand and waved it forward.

From the perspective of Xu Zixian and Gao Shilai, if it weren't for the tall figure, I am afraid that I would only be able to see an iron helmet or hat.

If there are conditions, Xu Zixian should sit in a command car erected high, or sit above the high and high posts, so that he can really clarify and not travel to command the battlefield.

But at this time, the decision can only be made by the occasional glance, and then by experience, feeling, and judgment of the battlefield.

Qin Dongyang is on the left wing of the team, Liu Yi is holding double swords on the right wing, Zhang Huchen and Lin Cunxin, Li Fuxiang and others are the stamina after the striker before the middle formation.

More military attachés followed, and the biggest difference between the Fish Scale Array and the Forbidden Army or the Box Army this time was that each military attache was at the forefront of the array, the team officer was before the military officer, the sentry officer was before the team officer, the head was before the sentry officer, and the battalion officer was before the capital head.

Under the banner, the stride was carried out by high-ranking military attachés, and then by the middle and lower-level military attachés who were stubborn and stubborn.

There are more than 130 pairs of iron armor in the Nan'an regimental training, and now they are all worn above the military attaché.

The guerrillas at the front of the two wings wanted to attract a rain of arrows, and in addition to the iron armor, there were still many people who roamed with leather shields.

After entering the hundred steps, the long-awaited rain of arrows finally fell.

The pirates couldn't hold back, a small number of divine arm bows fired first, the sound of snapping was endless, the god arm bow began, and then the ordinary longbow was also ready to be launched, and when the sound of the god arm bow first spread, a large number of pirates also let go of their fingers and released the longbow and heavy arrows.

The distance of 100 paces is just the right distance for the Divine Arm Bow, and its theoretical shooting distance is 240 paces, and the actual lethality is in 100 steps.

Those who are not wearing iron armor can easily shoot through the human body within a hundred paces and seriously injure them.

Those wearing iron armor should also be careful to guard against vital places, if the throat, abdomen and other vital points of the body are pierced by crossbow arrows, it is still very likely to be fatal.

A hundred paces away, even if it needs to be launched with a wrench, it is difficult to be fatal, unless it is unlucky to go home and is riddled with bad luck, otherwise a soldier wearing iron armor is shot by a foot bow at a distance of 100 steps, and it is unlikely that he will be slightly injured.

The two winged rangers continued to advance in the rain of arrows, and a large number of arrows fell, most of them diagonally on the ground, forming one bush after another.

There were also arrows that landed on the iron armor and shields of these rangers, making a dull sound of clanging or tuk-tuk.

"The red flag tilts forward, beat the drum!"

Xu Zixian stood on a high place as much as possible, and found that the two wings of the guerrillas continued to move forward under the attack of the rain of arrows, Qin Dongyang on the left, Liu Yi on the right, the figures of the two generals were quite obvious in the front, because there was no drum yet, although the distance was quite close, everyone was still walking briskly according to the frequency of three steps and one drum.

The time has come, and there is no need to hesitate.

Fierce, resolute, and fast drumming suddenly sounded.

Trained according to military regulations, the whole army began to shout and charge after hearing the rapid beating of drums.

The rangers, the two flank forwards, the middle army, the left and right rear formations, in fact, the fish scale formation is a whole team, not too far apart, in the fierce drum beat, more than 2,000 people shouted, although the full speed sprint, the front line is only slightly tilted, or remains basically intact.

By this time, the superiority of the group training and the pirates had been quite obvious, the pirates did not move in place, but there were archers and crossbowmen shooting arrows on the front, but because there was no training and scheduling, they were almost fighting on their own, the arrow rain was urgent and sparse, the front was already quite messy, there were many pirates gathered together, and many of them were very open, and the battle line was quite chaotic.

In the face of the impending onslaught, the pirates are also making terrifying shouts, but their shouts are uneven, which seems to be a bit lacking in momentum, and from the current point of view, at least in the scene, the team training is far better than the unorganized pirates.

Xu Zixian's expression changed from nervous, excited, and slightly panicked to calm, even a little leisurely.
