164. Loss of depth

Miao Mei and Wang Er fought each other, and with just one move, they felt that something was wrong, and the other party had a lot of strength. From the barrel of his gun, there was a tremendous force, as if he was blocking not a person, but a boulder that was rapidly rolling down the hillside. The power shook in an instant, and Miao Mei's hands trembled violently, and the fine iron spear in her hand almost flew out.

He hurriedly raised his breath, roared loudly, jumped backwards with all his might, kicked and kicked, and retreated a few steps in a row, until he hit the rogue soldiers who followed behind, and then he took the pile and stood firm.

The churning qi and blood made him very uncomfortable, and his chest was tight.

Before he woke up, the rogues around him had already screamed and pounced, and then the soldiers on the opposite side also came up, only to hear a neat "heha" sound from the military formation on the opposite side, and the soldiers in the front row suddenly raised their shields neatly. These shields were not standardized, some were made of wood, some were leather bags, and some were wrapped in iron...... The reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang's cottage materials are not abundant, so there is no unity in terms of weapons and equipment.

Although these shields are of different materials, they have one thing in common, that is, they have the same length and width, the same thickness and thickness, and when a neat row of soldiers is held up, the shields can be glued very tightly to each other, and no obvious flaws will be exposed.

From the top, bottom, or some holes in the middle of these shields, countless spears stretched out densely, making the front of the enemy's army like a hedgehog.

"Stop! Don't rush into such a formation......" Miao Mei was startled, and quickly opened her throat and yelled.

But the two armies rushed closer, and the confrontation was only in the blink of an eye, and such a roar was too late. Even if it's still too late, the two armies are fighting, roaring all over the sky, how far can one person's roar go? Without a military band, the rogues were destined to not be able to command the army like an arm.

"Bump!" Miao Mei's roar was useless, and some of the rogues who rushed to the front had already crashed into the spear array, and countless spears stabbed them, and blood shot out in an instant.

In fact, these strong men are not fools, and when they see the spear array, they may not want to rush forward, but the momentum of the military formation rushing forward is not something that the soldiers in the front row can stop if they want to, the back row pushes the front row, and the momentum is like a wave, and you can't help but not continue to move forward in the front wave.

When the front row was stabbed to death by the spear array, the people who followed behind were suddenly startled and hurriedly braked, but the troops in the back row rushed up again, and the result was that the front had to bite the bullet, wave the hoe, plowshare, whistle stick, wooden spear and other things in their hands, and desperately smashed into the spear array, in a vain attempt to smash the tip of the spear against themselves......

Once you get to this stage, the battle really begins. The soldiers began to wave their spears and engage the enemy soldiers. Under the cover of the shield wall, the spears kept retracting and stabbing out, while the rogues on this side swung all kinds of weapons and smashed them hard.

From time to time, the screams of the rogues sounded, and occasionally Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers screamed...... However, it is obvious that the screams of Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers are very rare, only occasionally sounded, and the battlefield is mainly the screams of the rogues.

Miao Mei swept her eyes and felt that something was wrong! The military formation on the other side, except for the moment when it was rushing forward at the beginning, has been slowly retreating behind...... With the sound of swords, guns, swords, and halberds fighting in the middle of the battlefield, the opposing army's formation was slowly moving forward step by step, while the people on the other side were retreating step by step.

This reason is very simple, you can't cut others with a knife, and others can stab you with a spear, in this case, you fight with the other party, can you not retreat?

"The frontal spear formation is too powerful!" Miao Mei shouted: "Go around hundreds of people and fight from the side!" ”

His command is still the same as just now, and he can't convey it, but the rogues themselves also have judgment, and their judgment of the changes in the military formation is not necessarily worse than that of Miao Mei, everyone is a thief, the same background, the same knowledge, what Miao Mei can think of, they can also think of, so it doesn't make much sense to command or not.

After all, there were more people on the side of the rogues, and those who were already standing on the edge of the battle formation, or those who could not help the front in the rear of the army, naturally swirled to the two wings.

Again, this is one of the major problems of the Rogue Army, where all the soldiers must stand in their positions and hold their spears as required by their commanders to fight. It was obvious that the soldiers in the back row could not be the first to enter the battle, but they were also asked not to move, to quietly watch the battle in front of them, and to be ready to meet an attack from both flanks or from behind.

When the front row can't hold up, the back row will replace the front row. The so-called former army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army, and sometimes such changes are needed.

But the rogues don't have such qualities, they heard the eldest brother say to rush up and fight, then they think they should immediately rush up to find an enemy to fight, now the front is roaring, but the back can't even touch the enemy's hair, how can they rest? So the rogues in the back row swirled around to the two wings, wanting to go around to the flanks of Zhu Yuanzhang's army to attack.

There are many Liukou people, Zhu Yuanzhang has few people, and in the front of the military formation, it must not be as long as the horizontal line of Liukou, so the two wings of Liukou naturally stretched longer than Zhu Yuanzhang's military formation, and then like two wings folded over, they were attached to the two wings of Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

The rogue who went around to the side was very happy, and this time he surrounded the other party and beat him...... The enemy flank is certainly easy to hit.

But they were soon disappointed and went around to take a look...... There is also a shield wall and a spear array......

The military formation is not a class of children in five rows and five vertically in a row on the field, and when the children do the body, their faces are facing in one direction...... But the soldiers in the army formation have their own defensive ranges, and the soldiers on the flanks do not look forward, but look in the direction of the flanks...... Their spear arrays and shield walls do not go forward, but to the side. In a frontal battle, they don't care at all, it's enough to just look at their own side.

"Ahh

"You can't get into it here!"

"It's useless to fight around......"

"Really like a hedgehog, with thorns on all sides......"

"What should I do?"

The rogues were at a loss, at a loss, and could only retreat.

The rogue didn't know what to do, but Xu Renjie, an ancient military fan who had read countless military books, knew what to do, his eyes shone with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Hahaha, I didn't read so many military books in vain, I saw the weakness of the rogue army...... The soldiers in the back of them all made a detour to both sides, around the flanks, and so on...... Their armies lost their depths...... It has become a thin layer, and now if Wang Er leads the team to attack violently, he can penetrate their military formation from the middle at once! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually about to give the order to break through the enemy's military formation, but he didn't expect Xu Renjie, a rookie, to think of it, he turned his head, glanced at Xu Renjie deeply, and said secretly in his heart: This person is not bad, he did learn something from the war book, although he is still very immature, but in time, after a few more actual battles, he will definitely be able to become a good general.

"Beat the drums and order the military formation to speed up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Huh? Are you really beating the drum to speed up the breakthrough? Xu Renjie was stunned, and then said happily: "Do you also think that my judgment just now is right?" That's why that's how you command? ”

I don't know why, Xu Renjie has a general feeling of being praised by his father, just like when he was a child, he was a beginner and calculated the simplest account book in an afternoon, and his father praised him very much, put his calculated account book on the table in the middle of the hall, and said proudly when he saw people: "Look, my son calculated, he will use an abacus at such a young age...... In the future, our family will have his inheritance, and we will definitely be able to make a lot of money."

Xu Renjie really lived up to his father's high hopes and became the most wealthy rice merchant in Baishui.

At this time, Xu Renjie was affirmed by Zhu Yuanzhang, just as happy as he felt when he was affirmed by his father when he was a junior high school student...... It turned out that unconsciously, he had recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's military talent and regarded him as a teacher who could learn and look forward to.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually nodded at him and said, "You judged correctly, the enemy army has lost its depth, and at this time, it is hard to hit him...... It can be cut into two sections. ”

"Knock Knock Knock"

The drumming has changed, it has become more positive and more energetic.

When Wang Er heard this, he suddenly understood, and the iron rod in his hand swept hard, and Miao Mei beside him was swept away by him.

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

The whole army shouted, and the soldiers opened the way with their spears and rushed forward.

Miao Mei was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Resist ......"

When he turned around after he finished calling, he suddenly found that there was no one behind him......

It turned out that the soldiers in the back row of the rogue all went around to the two flanks of the enemy, and some soldiers even wanted to go around the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's army...... The frontal combat effectiveness has been imperceptibly weakened.

Oh no...... Miao Mei only had time to think about this, the thin front of the Liukou army was crushed, Wang Er didn't bother to pay attention to Miao Mei at all, and swept him aside with a few sticks, and a small number of Liukou around Miao Mei were also forced to the side by the military formation.

The military formation was penetrated, and the nearly 1,000 young adults brought out by Miao Mei were cut in half and handed over to the two wings of Zhu Yuanzhang's army formation to block, and they would not be able to circle back for a while.

Wang Er's vision suddenly widened, he looked forward, haha, in the distance ahead, Wang Zuo was riding a high-headed horse, his face was full of panic. He was summoning the second clad to come out to meet the enemy, but the chaotic army of rogues had not yet adjusted their formation, and it was still the same as before.

"Wang Zuohang, eat me with a stick!" Wang Er lifted the iron rod, spread his feet, and continued to charge......
