In this way, the great battle outside Yingtian City also broke out quickly.

In fact, many well-informed people began to grind and grind when they got some "internal system weapons" in Yingtian City and began to reorganize their arms for war, and they did not plan to rush to Yingtian so eagerly. Some simply found all kinds of excuses to give up this kind of provocation to the imperial power. Of course, even so, the number of "idle people" gathered outside Yingtian City reached the scale of about one million.

Of course, the scale of these million or so people did not arrive together, but had been gathered outside the city for about three or five days, and among them, tens of thousands of people who had infiltrated in advance Although not many dared to break into the forbidden area in the north of the city, they also gathered before some of the halls and government offices in the city.

Thousands of squadrons of "New Guards" were dispatched in an orderly manner at this time. Although there were not many flags, the banners were well prepared. The slogans contained by the people can make tens of thousands of voices shout neatly within a certain range, and they are all very standard "new official dialects", some of which are more like slogans, but some of which are more like political arguments that are to the point.

For example: "Defeat the counteroffensive of all the old forces!" ”

"Advocating family-oriented, clan-based, feudal etiquette and religion is to let the Ming Dynasty return to the bitter days of weakness and decay, suffer from two stubbles, and suffer from two sins!"

"Preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires is the bane of the weakness of the former Song Dynasty!"

"Confucianism and civilian-bureaucratic gentry are the bane of weakness!"

"Emancipate the mind! There is a saying in the king: If you don't change your thinking, you will change people! ”

Some of the slogans have a lot of words, but the people who have received a lot of training can shout them relatively neatly, forming a wave of tide-like momentum, coupled with neat footwork, unified equipment, although there are men and women and there are not many ordnance, except for the red armband, there are not many uniform uniforms, everything seems to have nothing to do with the armed forces of the government, but it gives people the feeling of a disciplined army, although the number is far less than the people gathered outside Yingtian City, but it gives people the feeling that the strength and formation are completely different.

Of course, those people who gathered together actually had a lot of "hard stubble" in the village fights on weekdays, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dared to come openly with weapons, not to mention sharp blades, even swords and shields made of wooden sticks or pot lids, and even stones that had been prepared for a long time, very few people carried.

At this time, many people who are not very smart can realize what the attitude of today's son is, without the personal instruction of today's son, it is impossible for so many para-armed groups within the scope of such special groups to have such adequate preparation and organization.

Of course, there are also some people who are "willing to sacrifice their lives" who have no intention of retreating at this time, and are still planning to confront or compete with these "child soldiers". Obviously: this arrangement of the Son of Heaven seems to make it clear that he does not dare to directly suppress by force, if so, does that mean that it is still possible to achieve his own goals through this kind of gathering? If these preparations and arrangements of the Son of Heaven were really defeated by virtue of the numerical superiority, would the defenders at the head of the city really dare to let the entire Yingtian City bleed? If that's the case, a lot of new rounds of preparations and actions will have a human foundation.

Just when the morale of these people had just been boosted under the heavy pressure, and a part of the crowd on both sides began to approach them, the various "New Guard" squadrons that were about to fight were ready to throw stones one after another.

In fact, in the past, Xiao Xuan also thought about the proposition of "what weapon is the best for group fighting", and after some drills and demonstrations organized. If you are not very trained to fight one-on-one or skirmish, the "Black Uncle Suit" with a javelin and a short spear, which can be used as a spear when necessary, is the best choice. Medium-scale, such as dozens of people against dozens of people, then the Bamboo Union Gang or the spear formation is the best choice, and the battle in this case is only fast and not broken. Projectile weapons are largely not easy to use.

If projectile weapons are not just about moving bricks, but about prepared horsetail slingers, and the size of the ammunition can be a certain amount, plus the scale of the engagement is larger, then it will be completely different. Catapult weapons will dominate the battlefield, just as when humans were just transformed from apes, the earliest difference in ability and even the means of livelihood between apes and apes was throwing. The first problem I realized and learned was to make irregular stones into a round shape to increase the accuracy of throwing, and later learned to throw stones from horsetails, and even real slings.

A real slingling is too difficult for beginners to train, and if they don't get it right, it can easily kill people, even if the hit is in an uncritical position. However, the sock cover round stone, which was inferior to the early Homo sapiens, showed one-sided power at this time. In the face of a large crowd with a certain depth, even if you can't hit the people in the first row, many rocks can hit the people in the back. Many missed projectiles can also ricochet as a ricocheting projectile.

If you deal with a well-equipped regular army, it may take a few hundred joules of energy to effectively kill, but in the face of a crowd with little protection, even if the clothes worn in the winter in Jiangnan are not too small, tens of joules of powerful sock cover stones can break people's bones and tendons or completely lose their combat effectiveness for at least a whole day.

Often, a squadron throws a few hundred stones in a short period of time to collapse more than a thousand opponents, and even those who do not collapse have a great fear of being thrown directly at close range.

The few exceptions that were able to approach close to melee range sometimes posed some casualty threat to the New Guard squadron, but in most cases this threat resulted in only sporadic casualties, and in most cases the skilled exceptions were overwhelmed by what seemed to be a battle-array.

In this way, the great battles that unfolded in various places inside and outside Yingtian City did not last too long, and it only took about an hour from the beginning of the conflict to the complete end, and most of the specific battlefields within 1,000 or 10,000 people lasted only a stick of incense, no more than a quarter of an hour at most.

The millions of people gathered inside and outside Yingtian City were eventually killed four or five thousand people, killed and wounded more than 40,000 people, and the losses caused by the stampede under deterrence and rout were counted, a total of 78,000 people were killed, and about 80,000 or 90,000 people were injured of varying degrees, and even losses of this magnitude led to more than 400,000 people being captured and hundreds of thousands of people being scattered. The total casualties of the New Guard were only more than 1,000 people.
