This time, the tactic discussed by Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi was to concentrate superior forces and rob villages one by one. Grab three villages in a row.

The last time the captives were threatened and induced and brainwashed, someone provided information about the villages around them, was rewarded, and became a puppet army captain, who did not have to work and could take care of the captives.

So this time, Gongsun Kang has already set a goal in advance. A simple sand table was made, and various situations were deduced and rehearsed with the grassroots officers.

Especially how to set up camp, how to command. Liu Yi put forward a large number of suggestions, all of which were implemented by the Han army. It's not something that some bandits can master. For example, how to strengthen the protection of the camps, dig deep trenches, arrange to resist horses, widen the camps, and strengthen patrols are all the business of the regular army.

One of these three villages is a big village, and there are 2 rich families in the village, so you can grab a handful. Of course, this goal is put at the end, because there is no guarantee that all the prisoners will not be leaked.

The plan is: first send 100 people each to surround and annihilate the two small villages. No one must be let go. At the same time, 40 people were sent to monitor the village 5 miles away, and all the villagers who were far away from the village were taken. After completing the first step goal, the two divisions converge and then encircle and annihilate the village.

This time, bows and arrows were purchased, and a total of 60 hunter-turned-tribes were equipped with bows and arrows. Get ready to use a three-stage shooter.

Half of the part is equipped with a long knife. The lethality of a knife is greater than that of a spear, and if you don't use a broadsword because you want to capture more prisoners, you are putting the cart before the horse, and you are also irresponsible to your own people.

There are also 100 shields, but all of them are wooden shields. Again, iron products are too expensive.

It can be said that this time I owe my father a lot of money, but the lethality of the troops has greatly increased.

A sneak attack in the middle of the night is impossible, and there are always a few dogs in the village; And his own soldiers are also very night blind. In the future, soldiers should be asked to eat more animal offal, and eating more fish and meat can also cure night blindness.

I didn't use bows and arrows in the last robbery, because I was afraid that the slaves would be killed and injured too much, and I didn't expect the resistance to be so fierce. If you don't use the bow and arrow again this time, you are not responsible for the lives of your own soldiers.

Plundering the populations of Goguryeo and Samhan was a long-term strategy. Gongsun Kang thought of it as a gradual cicada eat, slowly advancing. Surround the city with the countryside.

This departure was handled in accordance with the march of a regular army. With tents, with iron pots, wound medicine, alcohol, with wagons. Weapons and armor were placed on the wagon.

Gongsun Kang's 50-pound iron gun was also placed on the car. His marksmanship has been mastered, and he needs to be sharpened by actual combat with blood and fire.

The veterans had more than a dozen pairs of iron armor, and the recruits were all leather armor. If you recruit more soldiers, the leather armor will not be enough, Gongsun Kang sighed.

After going back, I still need to recruit some auxiliaries. Specialized in heavy logistics and the like.

When they arrived near the Goguryeo village, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi each took 100 soldiers to besiege the two small villages.

The process was smooth and bloody. Casualties on both sides were heavy. Because it was surrounded on all sides, the villagers in the small village did not run away. Although the Han recruits usually killed chickens and hares. But many of them were killing for the first time, so when the spear stabbed the enemy, there were recruits with their eyes closed. And it was for this reason that the villagers took the opportunity to kill and wound several recruits.

Gongsun Kang was so angry that he scolded: "Bastard! Open your dog's eyes! Do you close your eyes and wait for someone to kill you? "Gongsun Kang decided to kill all the seriously injured captives, and let these timid recruits kill them, and those who didn't dare to open their eyes kept letting him kill!

After the battle in the hamlet, 30 men were left to guard the prisoners, clean the battlefield, and collect the belongings of each family. Gongsun Kang took 70 men to attack the big village.

Liu Yi's side also completed the task, and the two sides launched simultaneous attacks on the big village from the north and south.

This time, Gongsun Kang wanted to test the method of the military formation. First, the arrows were released. In the front row are wooden shield soldiers. The second, third, and fourth rows are the archers. The fifth, sixth, and seventh platoons were spearmen, with 10 men in each platoon. 100 paces away, second row shot. Then the third row of shots, the fourth row of shots. After all the shots, retreat to the two sides. Spearmen, step forward. The first row of thorns. First row, back. Second row, thorns. Back off. Third row, spine.

A neat formation can inspire a strong collective force, so make sure to maintain the formation when fighting!

He was not surrounded on all sides. Prepare for the villagers to run away from some people.

The wealthy family in the village had studied the Han people in Liaodong for several years, knew the Han Chinese language, and probably read Sun Tzu's Art of War and the like. Unhurried command. When the Han soldiers released their arrows, they beckoned the villagers to find cover to take refuge, and at the same time let the villagers with bows and arrows shoot. And there was no rush of swarms.

Gongsun Kang's battle formation, if the villagers rushed up, they would inevitably be able to kill and injure a large number of people. Now that the villagers are hiding in the village, there is no point in fighting the array.

It seems that it will not work without arson. Gongsun Kang ordered to switch to rocket launches.

The so-called rockets do not have gunpowder. Just use some greased burlap and wrap it around the arrowhead. Light the sackcloth first, and then shoot out. Elevation angle 45 degrees projectile, falling in the air. There was a wind blowing, and some of the rockets extinguished the fire. But there are always rockets that fall on the premises, on the firewood. The whole village was on fire.

The fire carried black smoke and created an air barrier. The villagers had no choice but to run out of the village crying. Those who do not run out will inevitably suffocate and be burned to death in the fire.

Gongsun Kang shouted loudly. "Surround me, don't go into the fire! There are villagers who rush out with weapons, shoot them all! ”

At the same time, let the soldiers shout together: "Kneel and don't kill!" ”

Of course, the villagers who rushed out would not be so obedient. The homeland has been burned down by these hateful enemy soldiers, and there is only one way to revenge.

This is where the battle array comes in. When the fastest villager rushes 100 paces, the archers take turns to start shooting. The first round is a projectile, and in the second round, when a villager rushes to a distance of 50 paces, it is a flat shot. After the second round, the villagers rushed to the front of the formation 10 steps. The wooden shield soldiers and archers retreated to the two sides, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack. The main force of battle became spearmen.

Bows and arrows killed and wounded villagers in large numbers. But still more than 100 villagers rushed to the front.

Gongsun Kang shouted: "Spearmen, the first row of thorns!" Back off. The second row comes forward, stab! Back off. Third row, spine. "Three rows of spearmen were staggered, all with a way to retreat. Three rows of stabs. The formation was disrupted by the remaining villagers.

Theoretically, if the spearmen were strong enough to keep the formation intact, they could kill the enemy with zero casualties.

But these recruits obviously couldn't do this, when the hateful villagers viciously picked up kitchen knives and axes, and slashed at the bodies of the soldiers around them, splashing blood. The formation is out of order. Many of the soldiers were slow to draw their spears, giving the villagers plenty of opportunities to take advantage of.

Gongsun Kang shouted: "Change the knife and fight freely!" "The soldiers with knives threw away their wooden shields, bows and arrows, and slashed at the villagers with their swords. The spearmen no longer remained in formation, but fought against the villagers.

Gongsun Kang took a few personal soldiers and stood in the outer circle. Some of the villagers who had fled rushed forward and held on to their iron guns to surrender. Or that principle, try to keep the captives.

The battle slowly ended, with a large number of villagers dying and a large number surrendering.

The village was almost burned to the ground, and the belongings were not to be thought about. It's really heart-wrenching, and it seems that if you can not set fire to it in the future, you won't set it on fire.
