Naturally, the timing of discussing the time to go out of the city to cover up the killing is naturally not a big problem, and the generals have basically reached a conclusion after a little discussion.

After making sure that there were no other problems, Bao Hong assigned tasks to the generals, and they were all in place and ready to fight.

The three iron cavalry converged in one place, unified under the command of Qin Qiong, grasped the opportunity to charge the camp, decided the charging route of the cavalry, and so on.

In addition, Pei Yuanqing was assigned to the cavalry team to serve as the vanguard of breaking the formation, and Qin Qiong was under control.

At that moment, the generals went to prepare, Bao Hong turned around and continued to brush his face on the city wall, and then continued to recite the content of "Hundred Battles".

Within a day, the rebels arrived at the city, set up position, and set up camp.

Besides, Bao Hong led everyone to look at the city wall and noticed the movement of the Yellow Turban Army.

"The yellow turban is tired from afar, and it is good to fight quickly, and you can't develop strength." Chen Ping opened his mouth to propose.

"Going out of the city now? Not to mention whether they will hold the camp or not, even if they fight, will it make them more vigilant at night? Bao Hong wondered.

"The general's words are wrong!" Chen Ping replied with a smile, "It is reasonable to take advantage of the fact that the other party has not set up a camp and sent troops to call for an attack, if you don't act like this, it will make the other party wary!" ”

"Mr. Chen's words are right!" Li Zuoche and others responded to the road on the side.

"In this way, let General Xue lead the team to call the battle!" Bao Hong greeted with a smile, "Then how far do they have to go?" Do you want to call Xue Shuai over to explain? ”

"It doesn't matter! Let Xue Shuai take care of it himself, it's not good to do it too deliberately! Chen Ping greeted with a smile.

"That's it!" Bao Hong nodded, and beckoned the guards to go and arrange for Xue Rengui to fight.

Could it be that Bao Hong has the opportunity not to be on the battlefield in person, but to be able to condescendingly observe the battlefield matchup. It's a lot more exciting than watching a movie. Relatively speaking, the feeling is different on the battlefield in person, the danger is too great, and the skeleton of the body is on the horse, which is really uncomfortable enough.

"But then again, the general on the other side does have some ability!" Li Zuoche said with a smile, "Looking at the construction of that camp, it's a bit difficult to rush and kill!" ”

"Isn't this nonsense?" When Bao Hong heard this, he muttered to himself, "I don't want to think about what the hell is the opponent of the anti-king, the most famous under the command of the great demon guide Liu Xiu is the silver halberd Xue Tai Sui Jia Fu of the various fancy horse stepping on Wang Mang's million-dollar joint venture, with this dead pervert as an opponent, if you don't set up camp anymore, it will be a death!" ”

Of course, Bao Hong couldn't answer this directly, but instead asked about the points of attention for this camp.

At the same time, Xue Rengui was naturally very efficient in rallying troops and horses, and went out of the city to call for battle.

I have to say that Xue Shuai is a cow fork, this time it is not a simple headquarters infantry, etc., but to pull Hu Luguang and their archers, and of course, the rest of the attached horses. After all, if you don't bring the cavalry over, it's easy to guess that the cavalry is hiding outside and ambushing.

On the other hand, the other side is also very smart, and it is not the kind of self-confidence that swells and rushes out to meet the battle.

This is also an inevitable thing, the anti-king himself naturally cares about bravery, and is very convinced of the bravery of the Gongsun brothers, Tian Bu and others. It is difficult for them to win, and it is their brains that are not normal when they rush out to fight.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is not suitable for newcomers to set up camp to meet the battle, and the initial construction of fortifications will allow the archers to shoot their positions, so that they can start camping.

In this case, forcibly charging into battle, and still with the infantry as the main force, is simply death.

Of course, the so-called shield array and the like are not excluded.

Since human beings began to use cold weapons to attack each other, a class of weapons mainly used to protect themselves - shields has been born. Used to defend itself when attacking, reducing damage from enemy blades. China has a description of the shield as early as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the Xingtian in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" dances with a dry dance (the shield is also called "dry" in the literature), which is the earliest description of the shield.

The use of shields allows the warriors to get better protection in war, protecting themselves while killing and injuring the enemy. It can be said that war is a contest of spears and shields. In the course of battle, the shield is often used in conjunction with knives, swords, etc., the shield is used to block the opponent's blade, and the knife is used to kill the opponent. In the past few thousand years of human history, the shield has also adapted to the changes in the battlefield and evolved into different shapes.

The ancient Chinese shield pattern was mainly rectangular or round, which varied in size. The center of the shield protrudes outwards to resemble a turtle's back, and there are several frenulas on the inner side called "handles" to make it easy to grasp when used.

In other words, the shield of the Chinese model can be attached to the arm, and the size of the martial arts belongs to the light category. It's impossible to stop the archers with this thing.

This type of shield is generally called a hand. The hand is five inches and seven feet long, with the narrow side and the two ends wide. The middle and narrow parts are one foot, and the two ends are one foot and three inches. It is made of aspen or pine wood, which is light and solid. It is painted in the shape of a tiger on the front and has a handle on the back. Carryable.

It is said that the terracotta warriors and horses dug up from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, among which the shield that was dug up was a rare one that was fifty or sixty centimeters.

But then again, there are very few giant shields in China that can completely cover a person's entire body, or the kind of shield array that you see on TV that can be seamlessly put together like a jigsaw puzzle.

The most famous of this type is the Roman Shield, one of the best shields of ancient times. The shield is wooden and semicircular when viewed from the top, and rectangular when viewed from the front.

Of course, different tactics will develop for different things.

The main thing is the sword and shield soldiers.

The Roman dagger was 60 to 80 centimeters long and about 5 centimeters wide, making it heavy. Compared to the Macedonian spear, the sword is a melee combat weapon, one inch short and one inch dangerous, so the shield is much larger than the Greek, it is 1 meter high and 3 cm wide and 60 cm wide, and the wooden skin is reinforced with metal strips.

To get back to the point, the Western model is more popular for throwing guns and the like, so it is more suitable for the development of full-body shields.

Relatively speaking, the development of ancient Chinese weapons is biased towards the type of strong attack, whether it is a catapult, a strong crossbow, a ballista and the like, it is not at all able to resist by shields.

Of course, on the other hand, the development of ancient Chinese weapons and smelting technology are really open, all kinds of iron, bronze and the like, the sharpness is simply perverted, relying on the shield to file, it is completely disproportionate to attack and defend.

The so-called spear of the son, the shield of the attacker. As a result, if the shield is completely defeated, there is no way to eliminate that kind of thing quickly.

Therefore, in China, the shield is not only used for defense, but also often equipped with knives and guns, and can also exert great offensive capabilities. The main usages are: soaring, falling, fluttering, rolling, volving, channeling, squatting, etc. Shields as martial arts routines are more popular: spear, shield fighting, shield knife into the stick, shield knife into the gun, three-section stick into the shield knife, etc. (To be continued.) )
