Chapter 42: Formation
The spear is also prepared for the shield wall, if it encounters a cavalry, it will stretch out from the shield wall, one can support the shield wall, and the other is to form a gun forest, and the cavalry will collide with it is a dead end.
If you are fighting against infantry, you can also effectively kill the enemy by stabbing it through the shield wall, and you will not be harmed.
The round shield is a wooden shield with a layer of cowhide on the outside, which is not only lightweight, but also very good in defense.
In fact, it is recorded in the cheats that the square shield should be tall, and it is best to use an iron shield, and there is no requirement for a round shield. This is also the reason why the Xuanshui armor is only 500 upper limits, which is not only costly, but also requires tacit cooperation and strong soldiers.
In a group of ten people, training every day is to constantly familiarize themselves with the formation, cooperate, and cooperate with adjacent comrades-in-arms, which is not something that can be done in a while.
Xuanshui armor soldiers, without armor, naturally can't be, but it's a pity that as an ordinary soldier, and no results have been seen, even if a few brothers are working hard, it is impossible to equip him.
Fortunately, the cheats record several kinds of armor production methods, not only good fish scale armor, willow leaf armor, bronze armor, but also leather armor, plate armor, rattan armor, bamboo armor.
Situ Changfeng chose the easiest to make and the only one that can be used - bamboo armor!
Let people find bamboo forests nearby at will, cut down a batch, and break them into a one-foot-long bamboo plank; A simple hole is pierced, and when it is threaded with twine, a pair of half-body armor is quickly formed.
Although the style was ugly, this also made the five hundred soldiers happy, all of whom had been on the battlefield, and of course hoped that the higher their defense, the better.
Bamboo armor is not only light and does not affect activities, but also whether it is a knife slash, a spear stab, or a bow and arrow, it is easy to slide away when attacked.
Five hundred people worked hard all day, and finally completed the transformation of the square shield and bamboo armor, and they were wearing them on their bodies to look at each other and adjust.
"Hachiro!"
Three more people came over with spears, and they knew that they were brothers of the Yang family just by looking at their appearances.
"Second brother! Fourth brother! Fifth brother! Situ Changfeng looked back and hurriedly saluted one by one.
"The eldest brother said that you are training here, and our third brother has just finished patrolling, so I will come over to take a look, and by the way, let someone bring food over." Yang Erlang Yang Yanding, holding the Eight Treasures Red Golden Gun, asked with a smile and concern.
"Thank you second brother for your concern!" Situ Changfeng smiled embarrassedly, he knew that a few people were afraid that they would not be able to lead the troops for the first time, so as soon as they were empty, they came over to take a look.
"How's it going, do you need any help?" Yang Yanding asked.
In one day, five hundred people did not train, but were busy making things, as a few elder brothers, of course, they had already asked clearly.
This will come to see, not only to help him stabilize the morale of the army, but also to see if the things made are useful, so as not to make jokes about not knowing the soldiers.
"Please also ask a few brothers for advice!" Situ Changfeng also hurriedly asked.
Although there are cheats, there is always a gap in reality, not to mention that several brothers are veterans of the battlefield, and if you don't ask, it will be too much of a loss.
As he spoke, he took his three elder brothers to the soldiers, erected a shield wall, and explained them in detail without reservation, explaining all the details one by one.
It can be said that after Yang Yanding and a few people listened to it, they could basically train it.
Brother San listened and thought, looked at the shield wall and bamboo armor again, and then squatted on the ground to see the formation diagram drawn by Situ Changfeng.
"Hachiro, why is this called Xuanshui Armor?" Yang Shilang Yang Yanhui took the chrysanthemum and lit the golden gun, pointed to the soldier who was eating, and asked.
It is recorded in the book that the Xuanshui armor soldiers, dressed in black clothes and black armor, have black flags on their backs, and black flags are inserted behind shields in the array. The younger brother felt that it was useless, and because of the lack of time, it was useless. Situ Changfeng thought for a moment, patted his head and said.
"Hehe, Hachiro, you think it's bad, it's not useless, but it's useful, this formation is a defensive formation at a glance.
But if you think about it carefully, you are prepared for both offense and defense, and you want 500 people to win more with less, which is not something that can be done by defense alone. Yang Yanhui said with a smile.
"Please also ask the fourth brother to speak clearly!" Situ Changfeng hurriedly asked.
"This principle is in this black flag, in a certain opinion, not only to be prepared, but also to be prepared.
The flags are lined up, so that the enemy does not know the specific number, and the flag is inserted behind the shield, which can lure the opponent to attack the vacant; Dressed in black and with a black flag on his back, he can also complete the feeling of being outnumbered when attacking, thus making the enemy panic. Yang Yanhui explained.
"I see! The fourth brother really woke up the dreamer with a word, don't you say that the younger brother doesn't know when he will find out. Situ Changfeng suddenly realized and said happily.
"It's just that Hachiro is inexperienced in your battle formation, but this formation is really powerful, with a little correction, even if it is tens of thousands of people, it can be used." Yang Yanhui exclaimed.
"It's so powerful!" Situ Changfeng asked in disbelief.
"Of course, in my brother's opinion, this should be born from the Five Elements Array, suitable for a small number of soldiers and horses.
If you want to use it on a large scale, the requirements for the soldiers are too high, and you can do it in a non-interrupted time. Yang Wulang Yang Yande, the unicorn soap gold gun in his hand was pulled a few times, and analyzed.
"In the past few days, I have asked the fifth brother to see if the younger brother has any shortcomings." Situ Changfeng hurriedly said.
"I'm going to set off tomorrow, I can only say my best, this time I'll be a trainer, and when I go back, let my father choose the people from the headquarters for you to practice." Yang Yande said with a smile.
"Not to mention anything else, Hachiro's bamboo armor is a good thing, not only simple to make, but also quite practical; It's just that it's easy to be imitated, and I'm afraid there will be more bamboo armor soldiers on the battlefield in the future. Yang Yanding raised his eyebrows and said.
"The second brother is reasonable, but let's use it first, and when I tell my father, I will equip the strikers first." Yang Yanhui took over and agreed.
"It's really good, even if you wear leather armor, you can still wear a layer, and your life-saving ability has improved a lot." Yang Yande also said on the side.
Several people looked at Situ Changfeng with admiration, which made him a little embarrassed, after all, this was not invented by himself, but just copied from the book.
"It is best to choose more than three years old bamboo for this bamboo armor, make it of equal size, and after drying, wear it with hemp rope; Not only is it amazingly defensive, but it is also easy to make and inexpensive.
Even if it's broken, take it off and replace it, and the most important thing is that it can be used by the war horse, which is very light and will not affect the activity of the war horse at all. Situ Changfeng lowered his voice and introduced to the three elder brothers.
As soon as I heard Situ Changfeng's introduction, the eyes of the three brothers became brighter and brighter, and they almost applauded.
You must know that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is not strong, there are not so many iron armor, leather armor to equip soldiers, with this bamboo armor, it can be described as a big killing weapon; The combat power of the soldiers is increased by at least 30%.
Just as a few people were grinning, Situ Changfeng continued: "Of course, it is more outstanding to soak it in tung oil for defense, but in this way, it is particularly afraid of fire attacks. ”
