"Fucking stop, even if you pee the crotch of your pants, you will flatten the wolf's tooth whisk for Lao Tzu - such a long bamboo pole, the riding spear is shorter than it by half a section, and it can't poke you at all, you are afraid of a ball, do you want to retract it into your mother's ball?"

Diao Blind Man held a long-bladed spear, and when he saw those recruits rushing over under the formation of the cavalry of the Chuzhou Army, his face turned pale, his hands and feet trembled, and he shouted and cursed hoarsely and loudly with all his strength under the formation of the cavalry of the Chuzhou Army.

His left eye was blown out when guarding Xichuan, and he was blind in one eye, and everyone called him blind over the years, even if he was promoted to the team leader, no one thought about what his real name was, and he himself ignored it.

He originally had a wife and daughter, but his wife and daughter were displaced from the countryside and contracted the water cup plague, and they were incorporated into the Taowu Jijun Mansion and died of illness after not many days.

Diao Blind said that his wife and daughter could eat hot soup and rice for a while when they were dying, which was worth his life to work hard for the Dragon Bird Army.

He had a salary or a reward in his hand, either to his poor soldiers, or to drink, or to visit a brothel, but a piece of the black hole in his left eye socket was missing, and there were several scars on his face, hideous and ugly, and every time he came back to find a girl, he almost had to close her eyes and cry with him to complete a good deed.

This time, he was originally in the Tanzhou Army, accompanied two Tongyang villagers who had a small family in Jinling as deserters, and rushed to Maoshan ten days ago to join the Chishan Army, and was assigned to the third capital as the deputy team leader, assisting Luo Yunhao, who was born as a soldier of the Han family, to lead a sentinel team of 80 people.

In addition to the two military attaches from Xuzhou and the grassroots military attachés who were blind and had actual experience in leading troops, there were only 20 veterans in their sentry team, and the other 60 were slaves from Xintou Maoshan.

If it weren't for his short temper and bad habit of drinking, he might have been promoted to the deputy battalion commander, and the commander would have to have seven grades, but he himself had nothing to regret.

He just regretted that he fled to Maoshan and failed to bring back his iron spear, the commonly used spear in the army was already quite sophisticated, but it was only thirteen or fourteen catties, and he really couldn't use it, and there was no way to bring out the power of his ancestral Tongyang Diao family gun.

However, as an old soldier who had been in the army of Dong Chang, the king of Yue, for ten years before he became a starving man, when others were still despising the wolf's tooth whik as just a broken long bamboo pole, he could see that this kind of long bamboo pole with stumps on the head was too suitable for the eggs of the recruits.

Those who fight with cold weapons and dare to use the blade to slash and kill the enemy head-on can be said to be elite veterans.

The vast majority of soldiers were unable to do this even after a long period of training, and more often they were incorporated into the military formation, holding spears and spears along with the military formation.

These slaves and maids who have not been trained and have just completed the formation are naturally even more unbearable, and most of them can't hold the blades in their hands when the enemy wields knives or slashes with spears, and they can't talk about catching and killing?

The wolf's tooth whisk is made of cutting down the purple-spotted long bamboo that grows in Maoshan Mountain, this kind of bamboo is quite tough, and it is cut down to leave a length of one zhang and five feet, that is, about five meters.

This length, in the hands of the flat end, is normally enough to keep any enemy out with a blade, making it difficult for them to attack suddenly.

In addition, the long and short bamboo branches reserved for the head of the wolf's tooth whisk spread out like an umbrella, making it difficult for the enemy to come close through the gap with a short spear.

These will greatly enhance the sense of security of the recruits in the battle, so that they will not have the urge to turn around and run away when they see the enemy cavalry rushing towards them.

When the world battalion was organized, with the sentinels as the basic level, each sentinel was divided into four to six squads, or pikemen squads, or spearmen squads, or sword and shield squads, or archers and crossbow squads.

This method of forming troops is obviously not suitable for the second and third capitals of the Chishan Army, where most of the new soldiers have to go directly into battle to fight against the enemy without training.

Diao Blind's sentry team, composed of 80 people, the size is nearly twice as large as the ordinary sentry team, divided into eight squads, each squad of ten people, of which four recruits hold wolf tooth whisks, responsible for blocking the enemy from the periphery, three recruits hold wooden shields, rattan shields, responsible for resisting the enemy from a distance to shoot arrows, only three veterans as the chief, the commander, holding swords, shields or spears in close combat, or holding bows and crossbows to shoot from a distance.

As an old soldier's intuition, Diao Blind felt that the wolf tooth whisk made of long bamboo poles was the most suitable for recruits, but the nearly sixty soldiers under his command were all recruited for about ten days and trained for only seven or eight days or even less.

Even after every three teams of recruits, there is still a team of elite veterans guarding the bottom of the zigzag formation.

At this moment, Diao Blind scolded loudly for the recruits who were obviously frightened by the cavalry of the Chuzhou Army, and his face was full of scars, which was even more hideous.

The cavalry of the two hundred Chuzhou Army saw that it was useless to shoot arrows in the distance, so they tried to assemble and charge over.

Two hundred horses raised their speed to the extreme, the horses' hooves stomped, the earth trembled, and the sound was so dense that the ears of the recruits were as terrifying as a raging storm.

The three sentinels were in front of the cavalry of the Chuzhou army, and there were less than thirty longbows or crossbows in total, and the arrows were shot out sparsely, and it was difficult to achieve a scale.

The enemy cavalry is extremely elite, in addition to wearing leather armor is not easy to shoot through the arrows, the cavalry who bends down on the back of the horse to drive the horse forward, but also constantly wields the knife and gun to drop the arrows, rushing to the front can only have one person unfortunately by the arrow through the leather armor, the arrow cluster is pierced into the shoulder socket, but can barely hang on the horse's back without falling down, first hit the horse and turn around and gallop back to the main formation outside the Xu!

However, the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou Army did not want to come over to fight with the Chishan Army.

Jianghuai, Jingxiang and other places do not produce war horses, and there are few elite soldiers who are good at horsemanship, and the Great Chu army is mainly based on foot soldiers and water battalions, and the number of cavalry elites is extremely limited.

The Chuzhou army hired Huainan at a gallop, which was considered to have more cavalry, but it crossed the river with more than 50,000 elites, and the cavalry was about 10,000 troops.

When Danyang City was attacked before, the loss of nearly 1,000 cavalry and 1,4500 war horses had already made the Chuzhou army heartbroken.

Facing a wolf's tooth whisk about five meters long and an umbrella-shaped bamboo branch on its head, the cavalry wanted to rush over and directly slash the generals of the Chishan army, and the chest and abdomen of the war horse would inevitably be pierced by the tip of the wolf's tooth whisk for the first time, and the cavalry himself was very likely to be swept off the horse's back by the bamboo branch.

Unless there is a decisive battle, or they will lose their minds and go crazy and trample directly on the new pawn formation of the Chishan Army at the cost of heavy casualties?

Even if the leading cavalry general saw the faces of the generals of the Chishan Army, his face turned pale with fright, but when he saw that there was no good chance to tear apart the Chishan army, he could only turn his horse's head and lead the team to gallop back.

At this time, they still have to be shot with a wave of arrows in their backs, but as long as they are fast enough, a few arrows in their backs, as long as they are not shot too thoroughly, they can only be regarded as ordinary arrow wounds.

When the cavalry formed a lonely line, it almost swept over from the side, but at this time, it was cold, and a figure threw down the wolf tooth in his hand and rushed out, pounced like a vicious tiger, hugged the waist of a cavalryman at the tail of the cavalry, brought him to the ground from the other side, and fell hard into the mud that was full of dust.

"You!" The blind man saw that it was a slave from Shangjiabao, who seemed to be brave, but in fact he was extremely reckless and rushed out to knock down an enemy horseman, scolding, but his body was like a tiger rushing forward.

The generals behind the enemy cavalry were all elite in a hundred battles, and when they saw someone being thrown off their horses, two horses turned around, and two cavalry spears drilled into the back of the reckless general like lightning.

Diao Blind Man reacted faster, the scolding in his mouth continued, and seeing that he was still a few steps away, the long-bladed spear in his hand was first taken out and pulled sideways.

The two cavalrymen were also very good at their waists, leaning back, letting go of the broken spears, and after spinning the spears in their hands, they shook out their spears and stabbed them over.

The blind man pulled out the saber at his waist, drew an arc in front of him, and swung a spear that stabbed at the door in front of him, and the reckless recruit was also extremely agile, and as soon as he lay down, he let a riding spear stab against his back, and held the spear with his backhand, trying to snatch the spear back.

The cavalryman clipped his spear under his armpit, clenched his left hand, and drew his saber from his waist with his right hand.

The reckless recruit pressed hard, and the cavalry didn't want to be dragged off the horse, so he had to let go of his hand, and several cavalrymen surrounded him on the left and right, raising their guns and stabbing at the blind man's chest.

Fortunately, three or four old soldiers then rushed out of the formation and blocked two spears like poisonous snakes for the blind man, so that the blind man's chest and abdomen were pierced by the two spears.

Seeing that there were two teams of cavalry from behind the army formation, the cavalry of the Chuzhou Army did not dare to entangle, and pulled up the colleague who was the first to fall and retreated.

The blind man, who was panting heavily, saw that the fallen cavalryman had a small knife with a rusty handle around his neck, and blood was gushing out.

However, the blind man did not have a good temper, grabbed the reckless recruit's tattered collar, "snapped" two ear scrapers, and a wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth immediately, and scolded: "Ignoring military discipline, killing without reward, this is a rule set by adults, just a few rules, your brain is full of dog urine, you can't remember this?" You're tired of living, and I'm going to keep my life for a few days! ”

The recruit's temper was also stubborn, and his cheeks were suddenly red and swollen from being scraped by his two ears, and he didn't say a word.

"Get the out of here!" Diao Blind Man was trembling with anger, afraid that this recruit named Shang Hu would poke out some basket again, and even kick and tell him to roll back, it would be better for the squad in front of him to lack one person than to leave hidden dangers, resulting in being torn open by the Chuzhou army, causing the entire array to be crushed.

Shang Hu was driven out of the array by Diao Blind, a little dazed, not knowing where he could go, and even the wolf tooth whisk was thrown by him in the military formation.

After a while, a horse galloped from behind, threw a pair of scale armor and a straight ridge knife to the ground in front of Shang Hu, and said, "Put on your armor and take the knife, and the lord and the high general will allow you to swim freely between the military formations!" But you'd better open your eyes and take a good look at how others are killing with their comrades in the military formation, and don't cause others to lose their lives for you......"

Shang Hu's too reckless martial arts is something that no one will like.

Shang Hu picked up the scale armor and sword, and turned around to see that on the mountain ridge in the distance, Han Qian and Gao Shaolema stopped behind the formation to look at the temptation of the enemy and us on this side.

"That guy is too reckless, but I like it, it's rare to see such a strong and agile seedling in the army," Gao Shao said to Han Qian with a smile, "If he can learn to be more obedient and less stubborn in this battle, I will take him to his side as a guard." ”

Han Qian still had an impression of Shang Hu, a fugitive slave who escaped from the Shang family.

At present, there are nearly 8,000 young and strong men and women who have been attached to the slaves, and most of them will inevitably be pale and trembling hands and feet after going to the battlefield, and there are also a few extremely courageous and naturally brave Jianrui, like Shang Hu is the kind of person who is too excited to enter the battle formation at the beginning, and his mind is blank and he can't control it.

Gao Shao sent people to send scale armor and straight spine knives, allowing him to hunt freely between military formations, which is equivalent to serving as an elite scout and exploring horses in the formation, in fact, he can adapt to a more intense and cruel battlefield, and finally be able to retract and release freely, so that he can become a good seedling of a brave general.

However, Han Qian's current attention is still on the entire battlefield.

It will take three or four months of training for the rabble to prepare into an army, but at present, even if they continue to conquer the nearby walled forts and can continue to raise grain, there are more and more old and weak women and children in Maoshan Mountain, and at present, in addition to more than 10,000 Chishan troops, there will be more than 80,000 old and weak women and children, and the daily food consumption has also doubled compared with the past.

In other words, they had less than a month's worth of food, and their daily consumption of food continued to rise as new slaves came in.

Han Qian didn't have three or four months to train these recruits at all.

What Han Qian has to do now, perhaps looking forward to these recruits, is to hope that they can nail the place where they stand at this time.

The so-called wolf's tooth whisk that breaks the long bamboo pole is a very well-known simple Cold War blade in later generations, which was originally a miners' uprising in western Zhejiang, and then was used into the mandarin duck array by a generation of outstanding generals in later generations.

The wolf tooth whisk is naturally not omnipotent, but there is an advantage that Han Qian values the most at this time, that is, the wolf tooth whisk is long enough, five meters long, which can give the new pawns who are about to face a murderous and powerful enemy when they enter the battlefield with a strong sense of security.

Moreover, he disrupted the original sentry formation, imitated the mandarin duck formation, and mixed the archers, sword and shield soldiers, wolf tooth soldiers, and shield soldiers, but he did not see that the mandarin duck array had a miraculous effect in restraining the elite sword soldiers, but the new soldiers did not go through long-term training, and could only let them perform some of the simplest actions in the mixed team, one was to use the wolf tooth to block the enemy soldiers on the periphery, and the other was to use a big shield to cover the bow and arrows, and handed over the real melee combat and long-range combat to the old pawn.

Of course, he was mainly betting that Zhao Zhen would not dare to lose too many elite cavalry on the southeast flank of Maoshan Mountain.

In the land of Jianghuai, where cavalry is in short supply, it is unacceptable for any elite cavalry to suffer heavy casualties.

Before the Chuzhou army transferred a large number of elite infantry soldiers to the front line of the former Baihuling, Han Qian dared to transfer the soldiers and horses of the second and third capitals, which were mostly newly killed, to the northeast foot of Donglu Mountain in turn to suppress the harassment launched by the cavalry of the Chuzhou army from the flank.

…………

…………

The attack on the Chishan Army on the southeast flank of Maoshan Mountain, the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou Army frequently dispatched, but there was no result.

On the entire flank, Han Qian's request to all the recruits and sentinels sent to the front in the second and third capitals was to nail them in place like nails, motionless.

Zhao Zhen didn't dare to send all the cavalry to the decisive battle, and only dared to send two or three hundred cavalry to attack the flanks each time.

Although the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou Army practiced hard in cavalry and archery, and often could catch the panic of the new soldiers of the Chishan Army, many of them were wounded and killed by shooting, and even scattered one or two new sentinels of the Chishan Army, but when they wanted to expand the rout and tear apart the Chishan Army's more military formations formed by the sentinel team, the elite combat power of the Chishan Army deployed later would quickly intersperse with the gap between the front formations without fear, and force the cavalry of the Chuzhou Army to retreat with more sophisticated armor and weapons, and it was difficult to expand the results of the battle.

In three or four days, more than 50 cavalry of the Chuzhou army were killed and wounded, and nearly 400 new soldiers of the Chishan army were shot and killed.

Because of these three or four days, there were also three or four thousand slaves and maids who dragged their families into Maoshan from the west to replenish thousands of young and strong soldiers for the Chishan army.

At present, the Chishan army is almost 13,400 people, and in the valley passes and mountain passes at the northern and middle feet, there are also this kind of continuous bamboo gun formations, limited to the terrain, and it is more difficult for their cavalry to rush in and disturb the attack.

Zhao Zhen also noticed that the new pawns of the Chishan Army had adapted to the shock caused by the cavalry charge in a very short time, and the flank formation became more and more stable.

In contrast, the generals on their side became impatient, and on two occasions they made an attack, with more than ten casualties.

During this period, the Chishan Army always used 4,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the passage of Shangjiabao out of the northern foot of Donglu Mountain, and was not in a hurry to launch a siege, obviously waiting to see if its eastern flank could suppress the harassment of the Chuzhou cavalry.

And because the Chuzhou army has never been able to effectively tear apart the defense of the Chishan army on the flank, the defenders in Shangjiabao did not dare to go out of the village to fight back.

In fact, this has a very subtle impact on the mentality of the three generals.

"Han Qian is taking our cavalry and training the courage of its recruits! Could they not have the intention of storming Shangjiabao at all? Yin Peng stood beside Wang Wenqian and asked with a wry smile.

Wang Wenqian frowned, shook his head, and said, "Han Qian still wants to attack Shangjiabao, but before that, he wants to test our determination to attack his flank......

Accompanied by Yin Peng, he once personally rushed to the front to see the contact between the two sides at close range, but he didn't expect that the small long bamboo pole would cause them such a big trouble.

Wang Wenqian was also reluctant to let the elite cavalry go up to fight for consumption, after all, the Chishan Army was not their primary target.

Of course, it is not difficult to suppress the strange weapons made by the long bamboo poles, such as concentrating two or three rows of heavy shields, or concentrating two or three rows of heavy armored foot soldiers to kill them, you can suppress this kind of long bamboo poles, but the problem is that Han Qian put more than a thousand elite veterans in a later position to suppress the formation, how many elite heavy armored foot soldiers do they need to transfer from the southeast foot of Baohua Mountain or even Dantu City?

And when Han Qian gave up attacking Shangjiabao and transferred the main forces to the eastern foot of Maoshan Mountain to fight them, how many troops would they have to draw to ensure a steady victory?

Once they drew too many troops from the northern front, and Han Qian gave up fighting with them in the Pingkuo area and retreated back to Maoshan, how would they deal with it? Will they take care of one or the other and end up being taken advantage of by the Palace of Tranquility?

Wang Wenqian suddenly discovered that in addition to disturbing the flank of the Chishan Army with the established rhythm and inefficiency, there was actually no more effective way to contain the Chishan Army from attacking Shangjiabao; It seems that they can only hope that Shangjiabao, which is defending against danger, can hold on for some more time and inflict heavy losses on the Chishan army.

…………

…………

"I'm going to bite Shangjiabao next, General Gao asked me to go over and ask you, do you want to be the first to kill and save your mother's brothers and sisters?"

Shang Hu was discussing with the two old scouts how to let go of the horse, so that when the two horses were wrong, he could free up his hands to do more things, when the herald cavalry came over, stopped in front of Shang Hu, and asked him.

"Who do I go to report?" Shang Hu quickly packed up his knife and spear, thinking about tying it to the horse, and leading the war horse to the new battalion to report.

"your calf," an old scout knocked Shang Hu's hand open with the hilt of his sword and snatched the horse back, "you have to thank God secretly for taking this broken spear, and you dare to think about greedy for our horse, you kid is not as honest as you seem!" You capture Shangjiabao, take two more heads, and then find the high general to say that he will be transferred to our Jinyun Tower to be a exploration horse, and when the time comes, you can pick two good war horses and ride them in turn. ”

"Now it's the guard battalion that picks people, Guo Nuer has the courage to dig the foot of our Kong Ye's wall?" The people who came were not polite to the two old oilers, and directly raised Kong Xirong's name to prevent them from deceiving Shang Hu in the future.

"The guard battalion wants to go into battle to attack Shangjiabao in person?" The old scout asked.

"Or else?" The visitor asked contemptuously, "Do you tickle the enemy like you do?" ”

"The bird's feathers have not grown all the stunned green ......" the old scout smiled disdainfully, and drove Shang Hu and the visitor away.
