Section 93 Flag Command
Where is Wu Ban's new army?
The main thing is arraignment.
In this era, no matter how famous a general is, commanding operations on a large battlefield, he is invested again and again, and he is added again and again, because every army that is thrown into the battlefield will soon become a mess with the enemy, and it is basically impossible for the generals to tell them to change direction, to tell them that they can collect their troops, and to tell them that a new combat purpose has been generated. The heralds couldn't go up at all. Horns? Mingjin? It can't be conveyed at all, and even if it can be conveyed, the horn used in his robe is the same as Mingjin, who knows who he is directing? Even so, the steppe army, commanded by each other's horns and whistles, was much more tactically flexible, in field battles.
Therefore, when a qualified general commands an operation, he can only take these irreversible facts into account.
Every time they pass down a military order and put in an army, they have to think about it carefully, and they will not think about recycling it at all, even if the army is completely wiped out, even if the target of the attack has changed, and this army will not be useful on the battlefield, but they still keep observing the changes in the battlefield, and keep throwing troops into it according to the actual situation of the battlefield, and when the army is not there, they only watch from the sidelines.
Recently, Jingkang came out with a board game, and the chess pieces marked with the word "pawn" on the head can only move forward, not backward, which is the reason.
The most important point of Wu Ban's new army is to change the way the army communicates to change the way the army is invested, rather than through the guò rehearsal and formation.
He summed up a set of flag slogans, and also summed up a set of communication methods for setting off fireworks and throwing cannons, so as to change the status quo of extensive command of the entire army.
Of course, there are other attempts to add to the cake. At that time, the fire of the Shenji Battalion had been perfected, and it was no longer a friend or a friend, flying all over the sky, but stretching out the pipe to orient and install and replace it in a box; In that year, the heavy crossbow machine that Dia Niao bought from the Tang Gate was modified to the chariot, whether it was a crossbow or a car, it was also further improved, and it was equipped with a crankshaft, a scale, which could be transferred, circulated and fast-fired, and extended a new method of warfare; The two-armed and three-armed bows used to snipe enemy generals in those days were also improved, but anyone who operated them was called a long-range shooter, and was issued with an eye patch like a one-eyed dragon.
Of course, in addition to the fire of the engine and a large number of equipment of small repeaters, other ordnance is still too expensive to build, difficult to maintain, and only distributed in an ornamental manner.
With the sound of bull horns, the camp began to change, advancing.
In the advancing camp, the carts resembling siege nest carts began to raise the lifting frame, and watched the soldiers fill their butts with a tube of flags, and stand on top to command the formation and changes of the army. With this condescending observation, the Chao Tower constantly used the flag language to tell the inconsistencies in the overall formation, and the observer soldier who stood on the chariot with his back and wrapped in a bright light helmet and only showed his eyes conveyed it to his commander, and immediately made adjustments.
The whole formation is constantly fine-tuned, and even on the way to the battle, the arrangement is still extremely regular. Like all the Eastern Xia armies, they began to warm up, singing loudly and overwhelmingly. As they advanced, they sang the song faster and faster, and finally they stepped on the steps that echoed the short rhythm from man to horse, and let out an angry roar: "Defend the Eastern Xia, invincible in land battles, ho, ho, ho." ”
Chen's army also pressed down on the ground, and the longer and higher it grew from the horizon, the battle line became longer and longer.
The two armies met.
Chen's army stopped in an instant and began to gain a firm foothold and organize the formation.
The new army of Dongxia did not stop for a moment, still beating the soles of its feet like a dense drum, making a concerted noise and vibrating troops, and there was no sign of arraying down and sending out a part of the troops, and the entire front was advancing on the whole front. Slowly, the formation changed suddenly, like a magician waved his hand, and the passage in the camp was revealed as if it had been combed by a grate, and one chariot after another sped forward, and then the long snake-shaped quiver soldier followed out, paving a long snake in front of the battle array that was still moving forward.
General Wei Mingshouquan hurriedly came up to observe.
He was a little glad that he wasn't in the back.
Since he entered the Central Plains, except for bandits and rebellious peasants, he has not had a large army that has not stopped to set up the corners, leaving no reserves, and only when they meet, they will line up and move forward like a sea of mountains, and at that time he pouted and roared with a horsewhip: "The proud soldiers and fierce generals of Eastern Xia are too unpopular. ”
The heralds galloped in front of the formation, and the generals roared to organize the troops that arrived on the battlefield as soon as possible into a dense formation.
Seeing that the battle line of the entire Chen State was still swaying and rolling, the Eastern Xia army had advanced to five hundred paces away.
The chariot ahead was already only three hundred and fifty paces away.
The chariots in front of them turned around and stopped, the cattle were backwards, the heavy crossbows were on the carriages, and the emperor got out of the carriage and raised a hand to the sky.
The chariots behind came to a halt and gathered in circles.
As the chariots with their butts facing forward lowered their riveted legs and stabbed to the ground diagonally, the emperor on the side began to pull up the livestock and walk, and with the waist of the livestock bowed, a large string was stretched, and the two people on the carriage, one of them pulled the curved wheel with the help of these animals, and stuck the string with a wooden hook, while the other, with one hand, manipulated the semicircular crossbow arm, and the other gave a thumbs up with the other hand to gesture to the Chen army's camp. A few horsemen came up galloping and impatiently conveyed to them: "Shoot." Then a crossbow arrow "swished" and jumped into the air.
As the crossbow arrow was fired, the heavy crossbow caused the carriage to tremble and beat.
The sound of the bowstring "boom" came and went, and one by one they drilled into Chen Guo's camp.
Chen's archers were also organized, arranged crookedly in front, and shot arrows at these ballistas.
Double-sided arrows were intertwined, and a large number of Chen Guo's soldiers were shot through, screaming, and soon a small-scale chaos broke out. This is an unprecedented method of warfare, and he doesn't know if the other party is luring him to attack, so he quickly orders a team of 1,000 people to come out. The thousand-man team also needs the herald to gallop to the side of the thousand-man team, and it is at this time that the ballista shoots lower and lower with the temptation, and twists and shoots arrows in a fan.
Their four horses were able to hang a dozen strings with a bow, the inclined anchor spikes were deeply pierced into the ground, and the soldiers who assisted in archery in front of them divided the strings very quickly, and the soldiers who operated the heavy crossbows only turned in a semicircle and shot arrows with the reeds, and once they were swept flat, many quivers were shot.
This kind of heavy crossbow is extremely lethal, and the nail man either penetrates the person or flies to the depth behind, causing a lot of chaos.
Fortunately, there are not many such ballistas.
In fact, they ran to 350 steps away and flew away, that is, to create chaos in a place where the quiver could not shoot, and at the same time, there was no way to accurately measure the distance on the battlefield, and they were also to test the range of the opponent's quiver's bow and arrow, Chen Guo's quiver had to shoot back, and had already planted an arrow belt more than 100 steps in front of the ballista.
Their arm strength is also going from strong to weak, not to mention that they have tried to shoot things that they can't shoot, and as their strength weakens, the arrows are getting closer and closer, and it is the turn of the quiver of Eastern Xia.
The quivers of the Eastern Xia listed four layers of long small formations, each under the leadership of a banner-holding armor, began to run, they overtook the ballista, some horizontal rows, some oblique rows, all in order to leave a gap for the troops, to let out the trajectory of the ballista to shoot arrows. After a few dozen flags in the air, there was a row of quivers raising their bows in the sky.
As soon as the flag was placed, Chen Guo's archers brushed down one piece.
Mamoru was almost in a rage.
With his buttocks burned by fire, a team of thousands of horses finally broke out of the camp and rolled up a cloud of yellow smoke.
But he was not in the Eastern Xia camp.
He didn't know what the four rows of quivers were doing, and the kneeling ones in the front row.
The cavalry rushed up with arrows, and the light repeaters in the front row were raised. This kind of crossbow borrows the wrench to be wound, there are more than ten crossbow arrows in the card slot above, it is not as far as the bow and arrow, but a pull and a buckle is an arrow, the horse team is taking advantage, in an instant, a few small formations close to the horse team will shoot empty arrow slots.
The rushing horse team turned on their backs.
The "arrow" at the front of the formation, only an empty horse neighed and ran in front of the Dongxia formation, full of tragedy.
Although these crossbowmen can snap into their bolts in rows, they also have two spare crossbows on hand, which they do not fill at this time, but instead pick up the spare crossbows and shoot them at the following teams.
Wei Ming Shou was all in a cold sweat.
If it is only two or three hundred steps, and the horse team of thousands of people is concentrated and charged, it will not be able to rush the enemy's crossbow machines and bows and arrows, how can the battle be fought? His eyes were blood-red, his scalp stiffened, and he suddenly shouted: "Attack on all fronts." ”
The attack on all fronts was faster than the one thousand men he sent, and the horns could not be passed from near to far.
Wu Ban smiled.
He just wanted this effect, he wanted the enemy to advance and retreat, and he said to the standard-bearer around him, and the standard-bearer began to wave the flag to the height, and the flag came instantly.
When the flag arrived, archers and crossbowmen shot their arrows in a desperate manner.
They knew that this was the time when they withdrew and the melee robes began to swarm out. Just count in these thirty, shoot and run.
Later, the follow-up soldiers have already begun to come up.
They were still in small formations one by one, passing through the gaps, and without waiting for the archers to retreat, they gathered at the designated place under the command of the bannerman.
They continued to walk forward and spread out their ranks.
The long weapons gradually intensified, and the tip of the spear was tilted at an angle, flashing with black and white light, clearly telling the other party that this was our unique black steel sharp spear in Dongxia.
As the two soldiers walking in front of them crouched down, they put down the rack that knocked the legs of the steel spears to death, and put on the black boxes that showed a little bit of cold stars, and the three layers of spears behind them were erected.
Chen Guo's army was already approaching eighty paces and began to run wildly, Dongxia's spears were still stretched, and from time to time the standard-bearers moved the flags, and the officers were hoarse and exhausted.
But the soldiers at the front were unusually calm.
They even pulled a trace of conspiracy in the corners of their mouths, and "swished" to ignite the tail of the box with a fire fold, and smoke began to rise from the back of the box. These two-person soldiers, very calm, probably relying on the unhurried guns behind them, the army of Chen Guo on the opposite side was motionless, among the enemies, they quickly chased to the black shelf for more than ten or twenty steps, and they didn't have time to see through what it was, and one of the black boxes was the first to chirp.
In the blink of an eye, locust-like arrows flew out of the long barrel and flew right in front of them, and the two soldiers continued to correct the angle, and where they corrected, there were still cold stars flying out.
There was a ghost crying wolf in the Chen army's camp, and the dense camp was missing a piece and a piece in a blink of an eye, and the place where the engine could not catch fire was crowded into a ball.
However, Chen Guodu's horse team was hovering behind them, and they had no choice but to let out a miserable wolf howl and swarm upwards even more rapidly.
As the secret weapon of Eastern Xia.
These two soldiers refused to leave, even if the enemy was already in front of them, they had to wait for the anger of the box to be exhausted, but fortunately, the spears of the robe crossed in time, and the triple and neat spear battle line was impossible for any army in chaos to resist.
Chen Jun fell to the ground in rows and rows. But this was only the beginning of their nightmare, because Chen Jun's appearance Xiàn made the arrangement of Dongxia change, with the flag, the quiver soldiers followed the spear line, they chose the way of projectile, throwing arrows at Chen Jun's back, Chen Jun once again thinned down, as soon as they were sparse, and there were no rows of long weapons, they became the target of long weapons again. Many brave and stout Bartels were also finished like this, and those who were resisted by five or six spears, and the wild stabs of wild stabs were also useless.
With a certain piece of enemy sparse to the point that there are almost no people.
Spearmen and quivers will get out of the way.
In fact, they belong to each ox, each compilation, and even each arrow.
They are the first to achieve the victory, and their whole arrow, the whole formation will surprise with pride, or help the brother troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy forces in groups, or extend the results to the rear. The Chen Army's front began to collapse on all fronts. The entire Eastern Xia camp let out a wild shout. The cavalry couldn't hold back for a long time, because they knew that the main force of Chen Guo's cavalry was in the rear, and they didn't move, but this was the time to chase the enemy, and it was also the time when the infantry would be crushed by the cavalry when they chased the enemy, and the cavalry of Dongxia moved.
The entire Eastern Xia army was cheering, and only one army was scolding Niang.
Wei Chi Bing scolded Chen Jun without beating, scolding and scolding, and even Wu Ban scolded inside.
