Chapter 1231: Veteran (Page 1/1)

Zhang Yun's spirit was highly tense, and when he saw the red flag in the hands of the scout in the distance, he ordered to stop the advance and change from a marching column to a defensive formation.

Changing formations is a key training item in peacetime training, and it is also basic common sense. Every soldier was repeatedly taught that it was very dangerous to encounter a surprise attack while marching, so pay attention to abnormal conditions in the distance, such as smoke and dust, such as startled birds and birds, pay attention to the surrounding terrain, and if you want to change formation, where to stand in formation, and where to avoid it.

As soon as they heard the order issued by the Chinese army, all the departments took action, 4,000 people, two lieutenants, two false lieutenants, and eight lieutenants took action, and 20 Qu Junhou quickly conveyed the order and lined up in Qu as a unit. The Marquis of Qu roared loudly and ordered the cart to be pushed out as a barrier, and the soldiers of each clan stood behind the cart, with the sword and shield bearers and spearmen outside, and the crossbowmen inside.

When marching and camping, the smallest unit is tithe, ten people in the camp are in a tent, and when marching, ten people in a cart, the cart is loaded with tents, spare weapons and tools, food, pots and kettles and other necessary utensils. In the event of an accident, these carts served as temporary barriers, field fortifications, which could be used to block enemy arrows and onslaught.

Not long after Shen You and the others landed, there was no animal power available, and the baggage carts were all transported by manpower. At the command of the order, the soldier who pulled the cart quickly parked the cart, connected the end of the cart with the prepared iron chain and hook, and then fixed the wheels to prevent it from moving. At the time of the war, it was inevitable that there was some tension, and the iron chains and hooks that could have been hung up at once suddenly suddenly became unresponsive, and the crisp sound of impact came and went. A young soldier's hand slipped, and the iron hook hit the ground, right on his foot, screaming in pain.

"Panic?" Duber Dubai rushed over, picked up the iron hook on the ground, quickly hung the chain, and slapped the young soldier on the head. "Little shaft, scream so angrily, don't let people think you're a woman."

The surrounding soldiers laughed loudly, and teased the young soldier. The young soldier blushed and became angry, drew his bloody sword and shook it. "Who dares to laugh, Lao Tzu recognizes him, Lao Tzu's knife can't recognize him."

"And, little vertical, before the hair grows, he dares to call himself Lao Tzu. Keep your strength and fight with the enemy later, and have some strength to fight with your own people. Du Bai said, patted him again, and turned to leave. The young soldier grinned and put his knife back away.

After laughing for a while, everyone's tension relaxed, and the movements of their hands became faster. In less than a hundred breaths, the shadow of cavalry had just appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the position had been formed. The soldiers stood in their positions, checking the situation in the distance, while stuffing the prepared dry food into their mouths and pouring a few sips of cold water. The weather is still cold, and the cold water is in the stomach, and the ice hurts, but it makes them calmer.

Zhang Yun looked at the position that had been formed and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the training was much slower than usual, it was still formed before the enemy cavalry arrived. Now, even if the other party attacks, he has the strength to fight.

——

Yan Yi reined in his mount and looked at the strict formation in the distance, surprised.

Is the other general's prophet an unpredictable who knows that I am coming, and has set up a formation to wait for me? How could it be so fast.

He looked at the knights to the side, and the knights looked embarrassed. It's one thing to surprise the marching men and horses, it's another to storm the lined positions. The opponent has already lined up in formation, not only with shields, spears, strong bows and crossbows, but also in a chariot formation, which is almost the most troublesome formation for cavalry in the field.

Many people set their eyes on Yan Yi. Yan Yi didn't want to fight, he already understood Yan Liang's worries at this time, but the person had already arrived here, and if he didn't try, he was still unwilling. After all, the opponent is a recruit who has never experienced a big battle, and even if he is well-trained, he will be soft in the face of real battles. Besides, there is a lack of war horses in the south, and these foot soldiers should not have much opportunity to face the cavalry, and if they are nervous, it is useless to train well in peacetime.

There aren't many opportunities, but they do.

Yan Yi called a few chiefs and asked them to lead their headquarters and try to attack the opponent's position. Although the knights were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey, rode their horses away, each took several knights, and rushed to Zhang Yun's position.

Seeing the opposing knight charge, Zhang Yun, the Chinese general, clenched his fists, and his palms were full of sweat. Although the number of opponents is small, it should be just a temptation, but who can tell clearly what is happening on the battlefield. In case his subordinates panicked because of nervousness and were tried out by the other party, the knights in the distance would definitely rush over like a pack of wolves and tear his position to pieces.

Zhang Yun looked at the position that was about to be attacked by the knights, looked at the Dubo and the military marquis in the crowd, and secretly prayed, hoping that these veterans could play their due role and stabilize the morale of the army. In order to make the first battle more certain, he sent several veterans who had been trained in the martial arts hall to the periphery.

The knights galloped and rushed to a corner of the position. Just as he was in the back, Dubo Meng Wu gave a sharp order and ordered the soldiers behind the cart to get ready.

"Spearman, stand firm for Lao Tzu, don't shake your legs. If he dares to come, he will stab him to death. Crossbowmen, adjust your breathing and don't panic. Meng Wu stretched out his hand and patted a crossbowman on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous, and shouted loudly: "The third sword and shield hand in the front row, bow your head, don't look outside, what is there to see, carry the shield on your shoulder." ”

The sword and shield bearers and archers were adjusted according to the order, and in addition to the roars of the Duber veterans on the battlefield, there was only the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer. Meng Wu stopped, squinted his eyes, looked at the knights who were getting closer and closer, and shouted, "Prepare for the crossbow...... Put! Put! Put! Pick up the arrow, get on the arrow, re-prepare. Look at what you see, do your job. ”

With three shouts in succession, thirty strong crossbowmen pulled the crossbow machine and shot the crossbows in batches. The other three small formations of crossbowmen were also firing in a volley under Duber's command. One hundred and twenty crossbow arrows roared out and pounced on the ten knights who were charging head-on.

The knights shot arrows in their hands as they turned their horses' heads and swept past the array. Most of the crossbow arrows missed, but a dozen or so crossbow arrows hit the target, one knight turned over and fell off his horse, and the rest of the men and horses were hit by arrows, but they did not fall off their horses, and soon ran out of range again. The fallen knight did not die, but rolled on the ground, wailing.

"See? Cavalrymen are also human beings, and they will die if they are hit by an arrow. "Meng Wu ignored the wounded knight and seized the opportunity to instill combat experience in his subordinates." Don't panic, hold your hands, shoot one this time, shoot two next time, shoot three. Each person has a hundred arrows, and even if they shoot one out of ten arrows, they can kill them seven or eight times. And, Pu Ji, what are you shaking, just like you, you still want to be a first-class shooter? I'll go, what's the matter with your crotch, it can't be pee. ”

"No...... No. Pu Ji blushed and explained, "I...... I just drank water accidentally and spilled. ”

The soldier laughed again.

"Shut up for me, you think you're better than him?" Du Bo shouted loudly, ordered everyone to concentrate, patted Pu Ji's shoulder again, attached it to his ear, and whispered: "The first time Lao Tzu went into battle, he urinated on his crotch. ”
