PS: The second shift is in the evening

People always have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, such as the first encounter with the hard bone of the warrior last year, when they faced the line phalanx, and the light knights trembled. To this day, they still can't avoid it, and only a wise and brave person like the thief can turn the strange into familiar after a year, and even get a glimpse of the weaknesses in it.

But the ability of the warriors to change is far beyond the imagination of the thieves, and now, the loose small formation that I thought would collapse in one rush has stopped the thieves from advancing for more than half a moment. The thieves were even horrified to find that their own positions were slowly being forced back, and they were getting farther and farther away from the shore of the lake where they could save their lives.

The long-range projectile weapons of the group of thieves are mainly slings, but the other two are facing the left and right with the cards, and there are luxuriant wolf rafts to help cover them, and several people behind them are covered tightly behind the cards, and the stones thrown over are blocked by Teng Dun and cannot be injured.

As the two sides approached, the enemy's formation began to change, and the columns spread out one after another, forming an airtight horizontal formation.

When the robbers rushed over shouting with miscellaneous weapons, the first thing they faced was the large and heavy bamboo, which seemed to be simple to take, but it was unavoidable, and after being swept away, they had to take off a layer of skin without armor protection.

The enemy's shield-bearers took the opportunity to throw their spears, then rolled into the gaps and stabbed them with halberds. The robbers wanted to bow their heads and attack the shieldbearer, but in front of them, four sharp and precise spears pierced in unison, and the throat, chest, and skull were all targets. Even if you try to get around these in a roundabout way, you will be blocked by the boring palladium that is still stained with dirt. The long and short weapons were in a clear order, keeping the thieves within a distance of one and a half to two feet.

"What kind of formation is this! Looks like a rabble. He restrained us so much. The thief pondered and looked back from time to time. He seemed to have heard the faint vibration of the ground as Zhao Wuxian ran over with the spearmen in small steps.

Fortunately, the evacuation was early. If Fang Cai was surrounded by this group of soldiers, then even if he turned into a sparrow, he would not be able to fly out of the cage.

"It can't go on like this!"

He couldn't think of a clever trick for the time being, so he could only put away his contempt and let the thieves work in groups of ten, trying to huddle together as much as possible and rush out of a bloody way with their lives.

……

On the contrary, Ran Qiu's side is getting smoother and smoother the fight, and the more he fights, the more excited he becomes.

"Si Ko said that this array was a clever way to restrain the robbers. And so it was! ”

This formation is convenient to move, both long and short, both offensive and defensive, and the changing characteristics of its formation are unique in ancient times that require the formation to highlight the unilateral use, and the advantage is very obvious in the face of robbers who have some training, but can never be regular.

In his previous life, Zhao Wuxian, a lover of cold weapons and a keyboard warrior, mysteriously revealed some specious information to Ran Qiu a few months ago, and Ran Qiu's task was to combine his experience in fighting against the robbers and rack his brains. Translate these scattered theories into practical formations. This process is difficult and painful, and while following the template provided by Wuxian, Ran Qiu also added a lot of his own unique ideas, so although it is called "Mandarin Duck Array". In fact, it is slightly different from General Qi in later generations.

Ran Qiu's "Mandarin Duck Formation" was not a large formation of the whole army, but a tactic based on small groups of infantry, with the purpose of dealing with the Lake Kou and adapting to the terrain characteristics of Onozawa. Moso bamboo, farm tools. All kinds of weapons are made of local materials, and the division of labor is clear. As long as each person is proficient in their own kind of operation, they can effectively kill the enemy. The key lies in the overall formation change and cooperation, and the order is prohibited.

When the Mandarin Duck Formation is arranged in two columns, the width is 5 feet (about 1.65 meters), and the distance between the two teams (taking the captain as an example, that is, from one captain to the other captain) is one zhang five feet / three steps (about 5 meters), that is to say, the total area width of a team plus the reserved open space belonging to it is also one zhang five feet / three steps.

When the Mandarin Duck Formation was fighting, the two columns did not maintain a relatively fixed position, but after the card and the sword, the soldiers behind had a certain freedom of action, and they would be deployed in turn, and in the process of unfolding, they would gradually fill the open space between the two teams.

"The card advances, the wolf saves the card, the spear saves the spear, the short soldier saves the spear, the combination is retreated, and the division is advanced." This is the key to the mandarin duck array that has been studied.

If several thieves on the opposite side come back at the same time, the rattan player only needs to bow his head and hold the card to move forward; The left is defended by the left, and the right is defended by the right; The left spear is stabbed with the left lance, and the right spear is pierced with the right lance; left and right boring palladium defense left and right; The basket card took advantage of the momentum of the two whiths, rolled out of the whith, and stabbed with a spear.

Most of the soldiers in Yunchengyi recruited by Zhao Wuxian asked Ran Qiu to belong to simple and reliable young peasants, and Ran Qiu is the same township, so that he can be a royal envoy with nostalgia and rural sound, he can endure hardships, eat and live with the soldiers on weekdays, which is quite popular, and is inspired by hatred for robbers and robbers.

Although Liu Xiajiao is not bad to the displaced people under his command, and does not encourage indiscriminate killing, he is still fierce to ordinary villagers, taking away their food and clothing, as if killing their lives. Therefore, the young and strong people still remember the terrible scene of the invasion and plundering of the big thieves and the small Kou in the past few years, and now they have been protected and reused by Zhao Xiaosikou, how can they not fight bravely to kill the enemy?

And the tactics of the "Mandarin Duck Formation" just coincide with the characteristics of these soldiers. For example, two soldiers armed with wolf whisks do not need special skills, and they are good enough to plough the fields on weekdays. The use of boring palladium is no different from that in the field, so that the soldiers always feel that they are greeting the fierce thieves opposite them as their own fields.

The order and prohibition are also equally important, don't look at the training time is less than half a year, but Zhao Wuxian's request to the sergeant of the Mandarin Duck Formation is to hear the sound of drums, there are swords, mountains and fires in front of them, and they must protect the players, and they must also withdraw when they hear the gold and silver seas in front of Mingjin.

Those who hesitate to advance after hearing the sound of the drums will be beheaded by military law by the commander standing in the rear. Ming Jin hurriedly recombined into two columns, slowly retreated, and let the second row of mandarin ducks come forward to rotate in order to achieve the purpose of protracted combat. Advance and stop, close, left and right, front and back, no matter how you fight, you must not mess up the original army.

In short, the Mandarin Duck Formation is essentially still a formation of more and less bandits when contacting, and before engagement, it forms a formation with a large depth and a narrow front. Get the most out of the front row of players. After entering melee combat, the rear row soldiers unfold to fill the gaps. Deal with the thieves who "fight for themselves". In the area, it is naturally handy to fight more and less.

So when Mucha slowly pressed over from the rear with a phalanx of line foot soldiers. And Yu Xi also took the light knight to take the dry road as much as possible, and found another place where the thief's ship was moored, and when he captured all of them and then went around, he saw such a scene.

More than 2,000 robbers were blocked by more than 500 Mandarin Duck soldiers, and they attacked more and less, but instead of breaking through a single bit, they were beaten back one after another. There was already a shadow on the wolf full of barbs, and no matter how much the thief urged, he refused to take another half step!

……

"Defeated. Defeated! ”

The slogan raised by the thieves on Higashihara Island once lifted the hearts of the thieves who were gradually gray, but now they are cold again. No one remembered it anymore, it could no longer inspire morale, and fear spread like the smell of rancidity and decay in the air, instantly spreading through the hearts of all thieves.

The defeat was like a mountain, the morale of the army was scattered, and the two thousand men were almost simultaneously defeated.

The robbers started from falling into the grass, and year after year, they participated in countless raids. There are countless small wars, but even those who survive the hundredth battle can collapse by the hundredth and first battle. The younger brother watched his brother die and the father lost his son. My friend's belly was split open by an axe, and they tried to plug their intestines to stop the blood spilling from their throats.

And then they collapsed. Many people immediately turned around and fled in the face of the invincible mandarin duck array, and they crawled away with the dead bodies. Just find a place to hide, anywhere. Just stay away from this place full of dead and blood. Some even panicked and rushed headlong into the bottomless mire, mud filling their mouths, crawling into their noses, and then death.

Now, the thieves no longer have the slightest idea of rising up and occupying the city, and the fire of the willow plantar uprising has just been lit, and it has been destroyed by the wind in a blink of an eye, and there is not even a bit of smoke left.

"Those who descend will not die!" Someone in the distance suddenly shouted loudly in the dialect of Lu Guoxi, but it was so weak on the noisy battlefield, but it was like the clear water of a spring, so that the people who were about to die of thirst rekindled a glimmer of hope.

Unlike the no one who responded to persuade him to surrender when he was ambushed, at this time, Zhao Wuxian's herald Kan Zhi's shout of surrender was like a gust of wind sweeping across the battlefield, destroying everyone's remaining resistance.

"We are willing to surrender!"

They fell to their knees and surrendered, throwing away their broken weapons and burying their heads deep in the mud.

"Those who carry out the thieves and descend are not guilty of the previous crimes, and each person will be rewarded with 300 acres of land, and the money and silk will not be counted!"

And this second time the message made the desperate group of thieves raise their heads suddenly, red eyes, and look back at the general Liu Xia, who had cheered for them a few days ago, claiming that he was willing to serve his death.

Compared to the strange formation that seemed invincible, the thieves around the "General" seemed to be easier to break through, didn't they? He was surrounded by cronies in the middle, like a small boat floating in the crowd, and a big wave could knock it to the ground.

……

Behind him, on the left, on the right, and in front, shouts of killing were everywhere, and the thief knew that the battle was decided, and this time, he lost again!

The thief is in a difficult situation, he has not many cronies around him, and in addition to the soldiers who are sweeping the battlefield, he also has to face a group of thieves with evil intentions. He knows the nature of these people, even if they have a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat on weekdays, they can sell you without blinking an eye.

"Catch him!" The group of thieves has become a mess inside, and those thieves who are willing to wash away their crimes and get money and acres rushed over with red eyes, and countless hands stretched out to the thieves, wanting to borrow him to make a fortune.

The hero is invincible with four hands, and after paying a lot of lives, the group of thieves who turned against him finally ripped off his cronies, grabbed his armor, and pressed the "willow plantard" to the ground!

If it weren't for Zhao Wuxian, who was shouted that he was captured alive, his head must have become a juju for thousands of people at this moment!

So half a moment later, when Zhao Wuxian came to the battlefield that had been cleaned up, he saw Ran Qiu and the pavilion guards pulling a person with a big tie up walking towards this side, followed by more than a dozen cowardly thieves.

The kidnapped man was tall, with his hair in a disheveled bun, his face covered in black mud, and a tight black armor suit that distinguished him from the ragged bandits.

Seeing Zhao Xiao Si Kou riding a tall horse, those thieves bowed down from afar, and hurriedly asked for merit: "I've seen Si Kou, the willow foot is here, we are willing to surrender!" (To be continued......)
