As soon as the first battalion of the first part of the special compilation department left the camp, it launched a sharp arrow and moved forward.

The Blade Scatter Formation, also known as the Enemy Array, is a cavalry formation invented by the Holy Ancestor that is suitable for large-scale cavalry to intersperse in a roundabout way surrounded by heavy enemy troops without making large-scale contact with the enemy. This formation is mainly composed of three parts, the first part is the arrow arrow, which is also the guide, once it is to turn, the guide must be the first time to convey the instructions to the various units; The second part is the two wings of the front arrow, also known as the enemy team, its role is to first send a signal to the front arrow and the teammates in the middle once it encounters the enemy, and at the same time to do a short engagement with the enemy, if you can fight, you can fight, you can't fight and go, all for the purpose of not destroying the front arrow and scattering the formation; The third is the arrow in the pole, also known as the reinforcement team, its task is to support the enemy team when it is defeated, expand to the two wings, destroy the enemy or support the enemy team, and continue to maintain the formation without being defeated.

The scattered formations can be large or small, the large ones can be composed of tens of thousands of cavalry, and the small ones can also have a small formation of 100 people. It is suitable for grasslands and plains with a wide view. According to the scale of the first battalion, it is generally most appropriate to take the army as a unit, and the column is lined up in a sharp and arrow formation, and the unit is divided between 50 and 150 paces between each battalion, and these more than 400 cavalry can cover a maximum of three miles at the widest point.

The advantage of this formation is that it allows the cavalry to be fully mobile and at the same time extends the detection range to the extreme, especially if it is a large area of the battlefield where you need to escort important personnel or need to rush forward while scouting. However, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, its own formation is too scattered, and once it encounters the enemy's elite momentum like a bamboo, it is difficult for its own side to quickly gather superior forces for encirclement and suppression, which leads to the collapse of the entire formation.

Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect formation in this world. The best is the best. At this time, the battlefield in front of you is the most suitable for the enemy's formation. After all, the purpose of the 1st Battalion was not to engage the enemy. It's a quick detour. If the traditional dense frontal arrow formation is used to break through, once it encounters the enemy's heavy position, it will completely block the speed of the first battalion. And the enemy array can quickly avoid these difficult bones.

Shen Yun was in a team of the enemy on the right flank, and a hundred steps in front of him was Pang Tong who was holding high the military flag and Zhang Mo, the battalion commander, and there were five other cavalrymen, a team of fourteen war horses was the arrow of the enemy formation. The five cavalrymen who followed Shen Yun were all from the original Pang Tong team, and they were the first wave of trainees to engage the enemy in the early hours of the morning, and they already had some combat experience, but they could still see their nervousness at the moment from their tense faces and their eyes that wandered from time to time.

When looking ahead from the camp, the terrain is undoubtedly flat. But when you run on this land, you will find that the so-called flatness is only relatively speaking, there will be some ups and downs here from time to time, and the military flag in front is still flying high, but the figures of Pang Tong and Zhang Mo often disappear from view. Whenever this time. Shen Yun would tell himself to be steady. Don't worry. The two flanks did not fire arrows to warn.

After the whole army marched for three miles, the flag in front of it was quickly waved. Shen Yun rode on his horse and shouted in the wind: "Speed up, the whole army speed up!" The cadet soldiers behind him also shouted, and the long horsewhip was raised high and fell heavily. The loud sound of whipping reached the knights behind them, and they all began to speed up.

The speed of the Rui Beast when it ran with all its strength was extremely fast, and no horse in the first battalion could outrun it, so Shen Yun didn't dare to let go of the speed to let it run now. The whip is raised high but falls gently, mainly relying on the spurs on the stirrups to tell the horse under the crotch that has long been familiar with each other to control the speed.

Shen Yun looked to the right, but he couldn't see anything else except the dazzling sunlight that was gradually sinking in the west. After running a mile ahead, they were even farther away from the Chinese army, almost six miles in a straight line, and at this time they could still hear the rumbling war drums in the distance, and the sun was no longer shining, and the dusty scene of the Chinese army was finally somewhat faintly recognizable.

At this moment, the heavy cavalry should start charging into battle, right? I don't know what it was like for two hundred heavy horsemen to crash into the enemy line like a modern tank?

Before Shen Yun could wake up from the illusion of the iron cavalry charging into the formation, the three teams of the enemy who were about two hundred and fifty paces behind him suddenly sent out two arrows! Shen Yun was shocked, and finally met the enemy, turned around and shouted: "There are two hundred enemies approaching me, firing two arrows, notify Battalion Commander Zhang." The whole army moved to the east, fifty paces more! ”

If someone can look down on the entire first battalion from the sky at this moment, they can find that the entire more than 400 horsemen who were advancing forward in a sharp arrow formation moved neatly and at the same time for nearly fifty meters at the same time, and then continued to move forward!

This kind of formation drill has long been commonplace in Zhaowu University, and the whole army turned very smoothly, avoiding the enemy troops coming from the right flank. But if you run forward for a mile, the left and right wings actually emitted four arrows at the same time!

At this time, Shen Yun could clearly see the enemy cavalry approaching from a distance of about a few hundred steps from the left and right flanks, dusty and with endless anger. And at this moment, the sharp arrow that disappeared into a depression in front of him also emitted four sounds!

"Damn, the three sides are meeting the enemy at the same time, battalion commander, blow the trumpet and assemble!" Shen Yun clutched the reins tightly in his hand, shouted loudly in his heart, and stared at the military flag that was still fluttering.

However, when the enemy army on the right flank quickly approached a hundred paces, Shen Yun did not hear the military call to end the enemy formation and assemble the whole army to fight. The figures of Zhang Mo and the others in front disappeared for a moment, and quickly appeared in the field of vision. But they shifted another fifty paces to the east......

"This is ......" Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that Zhang Mo's order was still to quickly intersperse with the enemy troops who came to intercept them, and not to fight with the enemy. It was an easy decision for him to make, but if he had shifted fifty paces, the enemy would have to make contact with the enemy on the right flank like a sharp knife on the face. Since both the enemy and our armies are rapidly approaching, at the moment of contact, both sides will not stop, but will decide the victory with bows or swords! This situation is the most feared of the scattered arrows, because no matter how many enemies are killed, both wings will inevitably be cut off by the enemy! This is not real dough, even if it is a thin layer, it is the thickness calculated by human life!

Shen Yun didn't have time to think about it anymore, the enemy army on the right flank was rapidly approaching, and at the same time, the enemy cavalry swarming in front was already visible to the naked eye. Shen Yun quickly judged the distance and time of contact between the two armies, and shouted loudly: "Change hands and crossbows, the right wing doesn't care." Shoot at the enemy ahead! ”

This momentary judgment will determine the lives of Shen Yun's six people, and countless elite cavalry have lost their brilliant lives in this instant! Because on high-speed moving horses, they often only have one chance to choose which weapon to use! If they make a mistake in judgment and use a riding knife when it is time to use a crossbow, they will be surrounded by the enemy's deadly arrows, and they will not even have the strength to fight back, but will be reduced to a puddle of flesh on the ground; And if you choose a crossbow when it's time to use a riding knife, the result will be the same as before...... It can be said that it is only a one-second judgment, but it tests the most important qualities of the commanders at the grassroots level -- the ability to calculate speed. The ability to judge the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and more importantly, luck!

Shen Yun's judgment came from intuition, which was also what Zhu Neng told him when he was in Yunwai Fort before: "When you encounter an enemy army in the Blade Scattering Formation, please use your own intuition to judge what kind of weapon to use!" What kind of shit tactics such as luring the enemy deep and encircling three without one are useless at this moment. Only intuition can save you! I remember that Fang Cheng also asked: "Isn't that gambling on luck?" Zhu Neng's answer was sharp: "Rookie, you will know soon." On the battlefield, sometimes luck is more important than anything else. At the very least, it will save your life! ”

There were only about twenty horsemen in front of the enemy, and the other enemy troops should still be behind or around the left flank, no matter what the reason, Shen Yun instantly judged that it was the enemy troops on the right flank that when they reached the firing range, the six of them and the twelve horses should have been out of contact with them, and the enemy horses in front were diagonally inserted. It's impossible to have close contact with his team, but it can reach the range of a crossbow bolt! Considering that the other party was also a Han army, the opponent's equipment would not lack a hand crossbow, a sharp weapon for cavalry long-range strikes, so Shen Yun decisively gave the order to use a hand crossbow!

No doubt. It's a gamble! Shen Yun began to pray as never before, praying for his luck, and also praying that the other side would not change the direction of progress at will!

Obviously, Shen Yun's prayers worked. The enemy army that rushed in did not change the direction of advance, let alone change the speed, and they understood what the role of the Blade Scatter Formation was, and what kind of will and ability were needed to break such a formation - obviously, they thought that they did not have such a will and ability, so they chose to cut off a layer of flesh from the Blade Scatter Formation first!

"Whoosh!" Three crossbows shot towards Shen Yun at the same time, and Shen Yun rode on the tall Rui Beast, which was easy to become the target of the opponent's fire. However, Shen Yun had already prepared, holding the crossbow in one hand, and pulling out a small round shield in the other hand to block the horse's neck, he lowered his body, without aiming, and continuously pulled the trigger, shooting out all five crossbow arrows.

At this time, the two armies staggered, and the speed of the war horse was increased to the extreme, not to mention that the distance can only be obtained by throwing crossbows and bows and arrows, even if you use the four-stone power bow to shoot flat, you may not be able to shoot accurately, so there is no need to aim at all, after a random shot, even if you can shoot it, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot, anyway, there is no time to prepare the second round of hand crossbows......

There was a muffled sound, and a short and powerful crossbow arrow was inserted squarely into the edge of the small round shield, less than ten centimeters away from the tip of Shen Yun's nose that was pressing down his body!

Shen Yun let out a cold sweat, in the case of shooting like this, could there still be arrows so close to him? For the first time, he felt what Zhu Neng was talking about luck!

Not surprisingly, Shen Yun's team did only staggered with the enemy for one round, and the arrows on both sides were shot empty, except for the crossbow arrow that almost knocked down Shen Yun, the crossbows of both sides were missed.

With awe of such an inexplicable thing as "luck", Shen Yun took a deep look at his enemy--plain face, almost the same outfit as the Han army, only the two leather brims on the helmet made people look awkward--damn, just at your ear curtains that resemble Japanese devils, Lao Tzu will have to kill you next time!

The enemy's attack was also based on the unit, and the enemy cavalry that had passed Shen Yun and the others immediately turned around and went around the periphery of the team when they fired a round of arrows, because the next wave of them was about to contact Shen Yun's second team here, and they would not use hand crossbows......

In a team of 100 paces, it is difficult for other sounds to travel that far unless the sound is particularly sharp. At least Shen Yun didn't hear any screams coming from behind him. But he knew that the right wing behind him must have been damaged, maybe one, maybe ten...... In short, this turn, someone will definitely sleep in this land forever!

Shen Yun looked at the left wing, where the outermost was Zhong Lisi, he only hoped that after this battle, he could still scold Pang Tong: "Can you get out of the way and detain your stinky feet?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The so-called mounted archery, which can hit four times out of ten, can be called elite. Most of the elite cavalry can only reach three out of ten arrows when fighting. Because the combat is not the usual training to shoot fixed targets, the enemy is also on horseback, also waiting for the opportunity to shoot you, but also will make a variety of evasive actions, so in the high-speed moving cavalry battlefield, the sharpshooter is not nothing, but it is absolutely rare to the extreme, one or two out of 100,000 people will reach the sky, and only three or four arrows hit by ten arrows is the norm for elite cavalry!

Abbas was located in the middle of the whip-shaped formation of the Yueshi cavalry, and after a series of regular battles such as charges, volleys, and chops, he exchanged the lives of 21 Han soldiers at the cost of 14 killed and 8 wounded! Swap to one!

Looking at the Han army that was turning in unison, Abbas waved his hand to stop the pursuit.

"This is the second-class legion of the Han army, and its combat power is so amazing! It can be imagined how powerful the flying cavalry of the Great Han Legion should be! Carlos, are you sure we'll be able to succeed in this campaign? Abasler stopped his wheezing horse and said to a man beside him who was wearing ordinary cavalry armor with his mask down.

This man raised his hand and lifted his mask, revealing the high-nosed and deep-eyed Slavic face, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the flying cavalry is powerful, but they are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they will be eaten, and when we defeat the Third Legion and destroy their food and grass, at most one month, this elite Han army of 100,000 people will be wiped out here!" Hmph, you haven't eaten, can you really fly as a flying cavalry? ＂

Abbas had always been cautious about the Han army, and asked with a frown: "Your Excellency, how long will it take for your army to come to the battle?" I said ugly things in the front, you promised my father that he would be able to persuade the Senate of your country to send troops to intervene, and we were desperate, if your army had the idea of fighting with the river mussels, hmph, even if we were defeated, we still have the strength to go to your Rome to make a fuss! ＂

Carlos changed color slightly, and said with a forced smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impatient, this is a plan made by Governor Mano himself, and nothing will go wrong." Besides, aren't we six hundred Roman warriors fighting together in your army?! You should be able to feel this sincerity, right?! ＂

Abbas snorted coldly, stopped talking to him, and shouted at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield: "Hurry up and clean up, follow the Han army in front, and make sure you don't let them go around to the flank, long live the Yueshi!" ＂

"Hooray! The rest of the soldiers shouted excitedly.

This high-morale appearance looked in Carlos's eyes, but it was only exchanged for a white eye. Putting down the mask, Carlos looked at Abbas with disdain: "A million people are still so cautious and timid to fight 100,000 people, hmph, the courage of the Yue people is nothing more than that!" This Han army,"

He glanced at the north and took a breath of ambition, "Dahan, you have been in the east for too long, it's time for the curtain call!" (To be continued......)
