Chapter Eighty-Six: The Military Formation
"Zhou Cang, this was originally a war between me and Lord Cao, what do you mean by standing behind me with so many soldiers!"
Zhou Cang looked at Zhong Qi, laughed twice, and then carried his big knife and prepared to leave, but when leaving, he still said a word: "These three hundred soldiers are left for you as a backup." ”
When Zhong Qi heard this, he thought that Zhou Cang was not humiliating him, and just wanted to stop Zhou Cang and ask for an understanding, but Zhou Cang had already gone away at the moment, seeing that most of the three hundred soldiers were soldiers from other places, and they were relatively loyal to Zhong Qi, Zhong Qi was not good at shouting that they would disperse, so he could only say to the three hundred soldiers brought by Zhou Cang: "Since you are here, then stay, but you don't need to participate in the battle later, just wave the flag and shout in the back!" ”
After speaking, Zhong Qi ignored the others, and looked at the three hundred soldiers under his hands, these three hundred soldiers were the strongest soldiers he carefully selected and selected from under his hands, and he believed that with his three hundred people, it would be easy to defeat Cao Xing.
And Cao Xing's side was also ready, and I saw Cao Xing standing on a high platform with three flags in his hands.
Cao Xing's lineup all shows that on his side, Cao Xing is the commander of these three hundred soldiers, as for the general who charged, Chen Hu Zhoucang did not mention this suggestion to Cao Xuan before this, and took one of the two of them as the general of the charge, so the effect is estimated to be very good, but Cao Xuan decisively refused.
Chen Hu walked into the arena and asked if the people on both sides were ready, Cao Xing and Zhong Qi both nodded confidently, and then Chen Hu waved the order flag in his hand, and the game officially began.
There were enthusiastic cheers from the surrounding soldiers, and Zhong Qi was also very confident, only to see him standing in front of him with a spear pointing: "Archers cover, infantry charge!" Fight for a round to take them all, just take them down, and eat and drink meat is close at hand! ”
"Good!" Zhong Qi's soldiers let out a high cheer, and then under Zhong Qi's order, a hundred archers came out in unison to pull the bowstring in their hands, and countless arrows flew directly to Cao Xing's side.
Cao Xuan stood on the high platform and looked at the arrows in the sky, and also made a counterattack at the first time, only to see him hold a banner high and shout: "First team, go to the front!" ”
I saw that among the three hundred soldiers, one hundred soldiers shouted, and then stepped forward, and directly squatted on the ground with the big shield in their hands, and the ground seemed to tremble, these soldiers held shields in their hands, not like the round shield in the hands of ordinary soldiers, this kind of shield is more than twice as large as the ordinary shield, and can almost cover the entire body.
When the arrows hit these shields, all of them fell to the ground, as if the arrows were not lethal to this heavy shield, and Zhong Qi, who was standing in the distance, smiled disdainfully when he saw this scene.
In his heart, Cao Xing is really a leng who can't fight, such a big shield, needless to say, must have been made by Cao Xing himself, although this kind of shield has a large defensive area, but it is extremely heavy, and ordinary soldiers can only lift it with both hands.
So if you choose this kind of shield, then it means that you only have defense and no offensive power, after all, you have no other weapons in your hand except the shield.
"Carving insect skills!" Zhong Qi snorted coldly, and once again ordered the archers to continue to release arrows without stopping, and about three rounds of arrow rain were fired, and Cao Xing's army was still squatting in place and motionless.
Zhong Qi saw the opportunity, shouted, the infantry charged, and the two hundred soldiers were all holding a round shield in one hand and a Pu knife in the other, and rushed madly towards Cao Xing's military formation.
Before that, Zhong Qi had already calculated the distance, the distance between the two armies was almost sixty or seventy meters, and his soldiers wanted to rush to Cao Xing's army formation, at most seven or eight breaths.
And the soldiers he selected, all of them were the ones with strong strength and flexible hands and feet, as long as they rushed to Cao Xing's military formation, they could easily climb over the big shield, and then kill all those soldiers who had no offensive power, so that Cao Xing's army completely collapsed.
However, Zhong Qi also wanted to be on the safe side, and while the infantry charged, he also let the archers slowly follow behind, so as not to launch a surprise attack on Cao Xing.
Time passed quickly, and the two hundred infantry of Zhong Qi pressed in front of Cao Xing's army formation in an instant, they ran wildly while shouting, and the next moment it seemed that they were about to reach out and grab the peak of the giant shield, jump directly up, jump into Cao Xing's army, and kill all the soldiers in Cao Xing's front row.
However, at this critical moment, Cao Xing on the high platform suddenly raised another banner and shouted: "Second team stab!" ”
At the first moment when Cao Xing's order was given, those soldiers holding giant shields all consciously took a step to the side, and it only took a second to complete this action, and the next second, in the gap between each giant shield soldiers, a wooden spear directly pierced out.
These spears directly and randomly hit each charging soldier on the shoulder, abdomen, thighs, many soldiers of Zhongqi, all of them couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, of course, these spears must have been sharpened, but even so, if it hits the body out of thin air, it will still make people feel a lot of pain, once hit by the spear, then please consciously quit, because Chen Hu and Zhou Cang are both constantly patrolling around the arena, if any soldier is obviously hit, he dares to continue to fight, Then they will rush into the ranks and pull that person out.
The sudden spear stab caught these charging soldiers off guard, two rounds of stabbing past, those charging soldiers, who had not yet been stabbed by the spear, were a little frightened in their hearts, and did not dare to move forward, but held a shield, and retreated back, and Zhong Qi saw this scene, his lungs were about to explode, wasn't it just a spear stab, it scared them like this, as long as they rushed through the first layer of defense, the soldiers behind were not afraid.
Zhong Qi shouted loudly from behind, and the soldiers who were still alive on the battlefield told them to charge forward and not be allowed to retreat.
Being washed and drunk made these soldiers have no choice but to prepare to charge again, but at this moment, Cao Xing on the high platform moved again, he raised the third flag, and shouted the order: "The second team retreats, and the third team steps forward!" ”
When Cao Xing's order was given, Zhong Qi's soldiers who were about to charge only saw the giant shield soldiers walking in the front, and they still didn't move, but the row of spearmen took a few steps back, and finally showed the rows of bows and crossbows in front of them.
Just when Zhong Qi's soldiers had not fully reacted, a row of soldiers holding bows and crossbows directly aimed their needles at them, although the range of bows and crossbows was not as far as bows and arrows, but it was very convenient in close combat, and their quasi-heads were much more accurate than bows and arrows.
Although many of the soldiers in Zhongqi are armed with round shields and have a certain defensive ability, but for the soldiers trained by Cao Xing himself, this is not a big obstacle, a month of high-intensity shooting training has made them hold the sound of the bow and crossbow, the arms are very steady, a small red dot within fifty meters, I dare not say that it is a hundred shots, but at least the hit rate is as high as sixty percent.
The faces of those round shields are very small, only suitable for charging, but they can't protect the arms and ankles and other parts, the soldiers holding bows and crossbows, a flash of fierceness flashed in their eyes, and under Cao Xing's shouting order, they pulled the triggers in their hands one after another, and countless arrows were directly shot at the arms and thighs of Zhongqi soldiers, and these soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
This time, Zhong Qi's army was completely chaotic, although the enemy was in disarray, this was a good time to charge, but Cao Xuan did not do this, his troops still had to do what they should do, and the giant shield soldiers were at the front to prevent these enemy troops from suddenly counterattacking.
The spearmen were at the back of the line, and now there was nothing left for them, and the archers were still under the cover of the giant shield soldiers, constantly shooting through the gaps, shooting at the soldiers who were still alive.
Ten breaths had passed, and there were still seventy or eighty soldiers left in the charge, but those seventy or eighty had retreated to a distance of fifty paces.
When Zhong Qi saw this scene, his whole lungs exploded, and the soldiers around him were even more dumbfounded.
Although Zhong Qi's soldiers have not been completely annihilated, and there is still almost a quarter of the strength at the moment, there is no need to fight this battle at all, the morale of Zhong Qi's team of soldiers has completely collapsed, and they can't even advance on the battlefield, so what is there to talk about?
What's more, no one expected that it was only a hundred breaths now, but Cao Xing defeated so many of Zhong Qi's soldiers without losing a single soldier, what does this mean? shows that Cao Xing is really good at governing the army.
The reason why Cao Xuan was able to defeat Zhong Qi was that the formation he used seemed ordinary, but in fact it was ever-changing, and the three hundred soldiers under Cao Xuan could quickly complete the preparatory work at the first time Cao Xuan issued the order, which seemed simple, but many people could not do it.
Now all kinds of signs are placed in front of everyone's eyes, even soldiers who have not been on the battlefield, can also analyze these things, many people look at Cao Xing's eyes have changed, originally thought that Cao Xing was just a civilian official, but now it seems that their so-called boss really has two brushes, at least in terms of the rigor of governing the army, as well as the changes in the military formation, it is not something they can compare, even Zhong Qi.
And Zhong Qi was even more angry and pale, as the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and now his soldiers are so uncompromising, one by one they retreat and dare not step forward, so doesn't it mean that he has failed as a coach.
