Chapter 635: Super Powerful Battle Array
"But Boss, this woman might—"
"Didn't you understand me!" Before the two of them took the door and left, the soldier instructed: "Don't tell the outside world what happened here, I'll go out and tell them myself later." ”
The room regained its tranquility.
Seeing the woman's frightened look, the soldier let go of his hand expressionlessly, and did not make any movement for a moment, but just stared at her like a torch, as if searching for something.
She was terrified in her heart, and in a panic, she tugged at her crooked single clothes. This action irritated the soldier even more, and he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into his arms.
"Ahh
Hearing the woman's screams again, one of the leaders of the Jiaozhi Army finally couldn't bear it anymore and went into battle himself. When he and his men burst through the door and saw two motionless brothers lying on the ground and a glazed woman, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"What the hell is going on!"
"If there is no sound of fighting, will it be ...... It's this woman who poisoned her! ”
"Wine, it can be poisonous!"
During the whole drug test, the woman only hung her head and did not say a word.
"Uh, boss, the silver needle hasn't changed color...... There is no poison in the wine. ”
“…… Alright, I'll be honest. Just as the leader of the Jiaozhi Army looked at the silver needle in front of him that had not changed in the slightest as if it had fallen into the fog, the silent woman suddenly spoke. It's 'damned'. Touching her gloomy gaze, the leader of the Cochin Army shuddered for no reason.
"Haven't you heard that some time ago in my Great Song Dynasty, all those who did evil were cursed by 'heaven' and burned to death by thunder and fire?" The woman's face turned pale, and her voice became gloomy, "Just now, the two of them were punished by heaven, but this time it was not the thunder fire that burned them, but directly took away the souls......
The leader of the Jiaozhi Army was frightened by her words, and immediately pushed her to the ground with a palm: "You bullshit slut, see if I don't cut you!" However, as he drew his sword, another soldier next to him came up and pressed his hand: "Don't forget, my lord, we are going to exchange her for ransom." ”
"Yes, sir! Didn't our two brothers die in vain? ”
"......" The leader of the Jiaozhi Army stopped his movements, looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground with his coat in his arms and muttered to herself, and waved her hand in annoyance: "Take it away, take it away, take it away!" Bad luck! ”
The door to the firewood room was opened.
The little Han boy who had been lying on the ground and had been sleeping unsteadily opened his eyes suddenly. He sat up strongly, but when he saw that the woman standing in front of him at this moment was disheveled, her eyes were scattered, and her heart suddenly sank as if she was being dragged by some heavy object.
She walked over and sat down without saying a word, dressed in her coat.
The boy hesitated again and again, and finally cautiously leaned over: "You ......"
The woman suddenly hugged him.
Her eyes, which had been dark a moment ago, now lit up again, like opening a window in the morning to pour out a room of sunlight.
"Don't be afraid, we have the blessing of the gods, and we will be fine......"
At about the same time, in many places where the Cochin Army was stationed, the same and similar scenes were constantly being staged.
The people of Cochin did not know that it would not be long before they would be in great trouble.
The large military exercise ground on the outskirts of Lin'an is carrying out an unprecedented attack drill.
Standing on the high platform, Jia Yidao clearly saw that the infantry of the Song army was distributed at battalion intervals, with a depth of 5 to 6 people in each row, and the whole was deployed in a horizontal formation in the first line, with the cover of antlers and spears in front, and the queues of artillery and firearms cavalry on the left and right. The front was constructed entirely of firearms, and the rear of the artillery battalion was guarded by swordsmen and archers.
It was an array he had never seen before.
The forces that made up this large array consisted of 30 battalions. The frontal width of each battalion is 4 zhang, the depth is 2 zhang, the interval between battalions is 1 zhang, and the front of the first-line mountain splitting army covers an area of about 650 zhang. This is Sun Hui's requirement, so that each battalion has enough space to maneuver and rotate, and if the enemy is facing the enemy in the flat open field during actual combat, it can push and pour firepower all the way, and when the terrain is complicated, it does not need to be confined to the overall action of the large array, and can be divided into different parts to carry out various tasks.
The drums sounded, the drill began, only to see the infantry raising antler cannons, all the soldiers marched together, the sound of gold stopped, and the guns were fired once, so nine to ten times, and the cannons were fired in succession. The horse infantry fired a series of firebolts in a row, without interruption, and its sound shook the ground. This is what Sun Hui said about "nine into ten consecutive links", the large array first advances as a whole, every 5 zhang will be a round of cannon salvo, so repeated nine times, the tenth time the artillery is fired continuously, and the firecrackers and archers carry out rotational firing on the spot to keep the firepower uninterrupted. The purpose of the "Nine Advances and Ten Links" is to suppress the enemy with dense artillery firepower, and if the intention of approaching and shaking the enemy's position is achieved during the battle, a more active offensive will be launched.
At the time of the seventh salvo, part of the Song artillery's artillery would stop firing and switch to horses to carry it with them. This was supposed to play the role of a reserve, reserving strength for the artillery offensive that followed.
As a result, the tenth series of shots stopped after three rings, and then the antlers line split into eight gaps. Knife soldiers and spearmen come out of the gap to perform sword and spear stabbing to simulate melee combat. While striking further at the enemy line, cover the firecrackers and archers who came out from behind the antlers and followed. After the sword and spearmen were finished, the musketeers and archers began to shoot in a cymbalistic rotation, that is, each row did not retreat to the rear of the formation after shooting, but remained in front, and the back row stepped forward to shoot in front of the front row. This method of warfare should be more suitable for pursuing enemy forces that are already loosening and retreating.
After the rounds of fire by the firecrackers and archers, the cavalry of the Song army was dispatched to practice outflanking and attacking the enemy. Of course, the current simulation drill is only in the situation where the offensive can be maintained, and the role of cavalry in actual combat is not just to go out for a walk after the guns are fired. Their maneuver also includes responding to an active enemy attack, as well as flanking cover while the firearms unit advances, or launching an offensive simultaneously with the firearms unit on the enemy's flank.
In such a large array, the firearms unit generally consisted of 4,500 firearms and 120 guns such as splitting mountains and cupping into the sky, and the common practice of the Song army in wartime was to reserve 300 rounds of ammunition per gun. Theoretically, if the enemy and the Song army launched a gun attack, they would eat millions of pellets on a three-mile front, and then they would have to face the encirclement of tens of thousands of cavalry. Sun Hui can now proudly say that the formation he created can be said to be the most powerful battle formation in the whole world.
