Chapter 563: Infantry Formation

Wang Peng was a little distracted, he thought that the infantry formation that had just been trained for more than three months would collapse under the impact of the cavalry in the north of the mountain, but the small phalanx that quickly gathered together converged into a larger phalanx, and the sharp spears were like the spikes of a hedgehog, piercing the head of the war horse, cutting the belly of the war horse, and picking off the cavalry on the war horse, "This ......." ”

"Shieldman cover!"

"Spearmen take a step forward!"

"This is ......", Wang Peng found the subtle changes in the infantry array, every soldier with brocade feathers on his head in the infantry always gathered around him, and the soldiers with brocade feathers on his head moved closer to the soldiers with more brocade feathers next to him, it was really under the leadership of these soldiers who looked very prominent on the battlefield, the entire infantry formation gradually stabilized its position.

The military reform of Black Domain City was carried out from the bottom up, and the time was not long, and the training effect was not very obvious, so Wang Peng was a little negligent.

The guard system is no longer suitable for the current situation in Black Domain City, and the guard system is not the army in the final analysis, but the family and the courtyard, and it is more a reflection of personal bravery and combat skills.

The reform of sergeants brooks no delay, and the reason why it has not been implemented is not that Zhen Qian does not want to, but that there is no such opportunity.

The current military system of the Tang Dynasty has strong traces of the government military system since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the recruitment system only turns the peasants of the government military system into professional soldiers in military towns, and in essence, it has not changed much.

Zhen Qian knew the system of the army in later generations, but could it really be used in the era of the Tang Dynasty?

Illiteracy abounds in this era, not to mention their own names, and even many people can't even tell the difference between left and right, and they have come up with a military system that spans more than a thousand years, which is no less than discussing Einstein's theory of relativity with the people of this era, which is obviously incompatible with this era, let alone considering the degree of acceptance of this era.

Sometimes the seemingly simpler the military system, the easier it is for people to accept, the commander of the army, the chief, the centurion, the commander of the thousand, the commander of the ten thousand, this kind of military system that originated in the steppe is more in line with the requirements of this era and the land.

To make a military phalanx of 100 people, each remembering their position in the phalanx is an incomparably headache for many herdsmen.

However, it is very easy for ten people to find their own chief, and it only takes a short time of training to find their place among ten people, and the rest of the things are left to the chief and the chief to do, and all that is needed is unconditional obedience to orders .......

The people of Murowei have never lacked personal bravery, and the severe cold has made these people more aware of the principle of survival of the fittest, and only the strong can survive in this land, so that the belief has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and even Wang Peng did not realize it.

There is a brocade feather on the head of the chief, even if it is a number of people who don't even know the Murwei, after training, they will instinctively look for the chief who has a brocade feather on the top of the head, and the chief is usually guarded by the Tang people, they know that at this time only by condensing will not be eliminated by the cavalry in the north of the mountain, instinctively and subconsciously, these chiefs will converge towards the centurion with two brocade feathers on the top of the head, and more and more infantry unconsciously gather together, forming a tight infantry array.

Originally, Zhen Qian was going to embroider a five-pointed star on the shoulders of the generals or something, but he was overthrown, and this kind of military rank system in later generations can still be recognized in peacetime, but when it comes to the battlefield, the scene becomes extremely chaotic, who has the time and energy to observe the horizontal bars and small stars on the shoulders.

And this also needs to be supported by regular military uniforms, which is obviously not possible now.

Ten infantry can never defeat ten cavalry, and a hundred infantry may be able to resist the same number of cavalry charges with the infantry formation, but when the number of infantry rises to a thousand, the infantry formation may not have much advantage in attack, but it is definitely not the same cavalry in defense.

The infantry formation is definitely a rare type of army in Murowei, and this style of play makes the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain, who like to fight on horseback, a little uncomfortable, and there is no such combat ideological preparation.

Usually sit on a horse and fight face to face, but now although I feel like I am on a horse, I have to always be on guard against attacks from front and back, left and right, and below, and the battlefield suddenly becomes a stalemate.

"Crossbowmen prepare! Shoot straight in front of the target, shoot! ”

"Push the cannon up, reload the ammunition!"

"Why isn't the launcher ready, quick!"

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the last artillery and launchers are catching up one after another.

The launch stand is relatively light and easy to operate, but it takes a lot of time to get from being installed to being able to launch. The artillery is even more troublesome, the artillery in the hands of the infantry can only be regarded as the smallest artillery, but the operation is not sloppy at all, the installation and erection of the cleaning preparation, one step by one to complete the end, and finally to the point that it can be fired, it is impossible to complete it without five minutes.

The speed of the cavalry charge was very fast, and it could reach about sixty yards, and a cup of tea would have been able to ride back and forth.

Zhen Er saw it in his eyes, and he was very anxious, and he led his clan to escort these stupid guys at the end, and when he arrived on the battlefield, some cavalry in the northern part of the mountain had already rushed to the front of the artillery position.

The cavalry in the northern part of the mountain didn't know what the copper guys in front of them were, but when they saw the other party so cautious, they also knew that these things might pose a threat to themselves, so they immediately killed them without hesitation.

Zhen Er's forehand is itchy?

As soon as he saw the cavalry in the north of Youshan rushing over, he howled, and rushed directly with his own people.

Nowadays, most of the clansmen under Zhen are cavalry, and there has never been a shortage of horses here in Murowei, and it is not difficult for one person to ride two horses or one person to ride three horses.

The people belong to the fishing and hunting people, but it does not mean that they do not know how to ride horses, they do not like to ride horses, because they used to be too poor to even afford a good bow and arrow. But now it's different, following Zhen Er to join Black Domain City, from the armor on his body to the weapon in his hand, that one can make the eyes of the people glow.

The more enemies you kill, the greater your military exploits, which is also said to the bloodthirsty Tatar people, it is simply customized for these Tatar people.

There was no need for Zhen Er to be encouraged at all, seeing that Zhen Er had already rushed forward, as soon as the people behind him saw it, they immediately forgot their duty to protect the artillery position, and rode and waved their swords and followed with the cavalry from the north of the mountain who came from the opposite side.

The barbarism of the northern part of the mountain, but in the face of the cunning of the Tatar people, it seems a little funny, these Tatar people are brave to needless to say, but because of the reasons for hunting in the mountains and forests before, they did not collide head-on with the ferocious prey, but dexterously avoided the most violent attack in the northern part of the mountain, at the moment when the two horses intersected, most of the Tatar people on the war horse hid in the belly of the horse, and the long knife in the hand was cut on the thigh of the war horse in the northern part of the mountain, and the blood splashed, and the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain rose into the air driven by the huge inertia of the war horse, It fell to the ground like a human cannonball......
