The vertical formation quickly converts into a horizontal formation, this is the formation that Chen Xin saw that day, the mandarin duck formation can be used when receiving the enemy and defending, covering the whole team with the front row of cards and long cards, reducing the damage of the enemy's long-range weapons, and quickly becoming a horizontal formation after approaching the enemy, fully expanding the troops, and the French army vertical array attack concept of the 1791 regulations of the Napoleonic era in the later generations is exactly the same, but the way of deployment is not as much as the French army, but Chen Xin believes that Qi Dashuai's deployment method is simpler and easier to use, and the front row also has shield protection, Unlike the French army, which purely relied on enthusiastic soldiers as meat shields to resist bullets, after each battle, few of the soldiers in front of the column could survive, and the Mandarin Duck Formation could also be quickly converted into a large and small three-talent formation, which could be used in smaller streets or mountains, and each small three-talent formation had independent combat capabilities. If there is a flaw, it is that the composition of the troops is complex, and the training is more difficult.

After the first two teams were deployed, the two killer teams behind were also deployed at the same time, and they hurried to the back of the front team, and pointed their blades at the gap.

A horn sounded, and forty-eight soldiers of the killer team stepped forward in unison, shouting in unison, "Tiger!" (Note 1)

Wang Changfu stood in the third position on the right, after the two wings were spread, the sword and shield soldiers were still in the middle, and the four spears were staggered in the middle and on both sides of the two sword and shield soldiers, and outside the spears were the captain, the boring palladium and the long knife. The bandit on the opposite side was already twenty paces away, and it was also the first time he went to the battlefield, he breathed fiercely, his face was red, and his mouth was dry, but he still held the weapon firmly in his hand, and he used a flag gun, which was his main battle weapon, eight feet long, the same length as the boring palladium, and there was a triangular red flag under the head of the gun.

In the middle of the squad are four spears staggered and flat, this is a real spear, a total length of seven feet (more than 5 meters), made of the barrel of the fine hairy bamboo from the south, this old bamboo that has been dried for many years is not the kind that bends when picked up, it is extremely tough, even stronger than many hardwoods, and extremely lightweight.

The second horn sounded, and Wang Changfu took a step forward with everyone, and shouted at the same time, "Tiger!" ”

After each shout, his nervousness decreased slightly, and he could feel his comrades around him in a powerful shout, which was a kind of collective strength, and if the third horn sounded, it would be a hand-to-hand fight, and he would not retreat.

The bandits entered twenty paces, and the heads of the four sword and shield soldiers protruded from behind the round shields, and their right hands violently threw four iron-headed javelins. The four heavy javelins roared away, coupled with the speed of the bandits themselves, which strengthened the power of the javelins, Wang Changfu saw the three old bandits in the middle screaming in unison and falling to the ground together, facing the sharp spears of the killer team, some peasants-like coercion fled to both sides, or simply turned around and ran.

The enemy is nothing more than this, Wang Changfu suddenly felt that the tension was relieved a lot, and a mouthful of saliva entered his dry mouth again, and his throat was comfortable for a while.

The third horn sounded, and Wang Changfu hissed and shouted, "Tiger!" The whole team started running forward at the same time. There was also a sound of footsteps behind him, it was the comrades of the second team, and there was a shout from the deputy squadron leader of Lu Chuanzong, "There is no retreat, and those who retreat die!" Kill! ”

Wang Changfu never thought of retreating on the battlefield, he was a very tough character, and he was also familiar with military discipline, any retreat on the battlefield could be beheaded, if he retreated after the three horns, he didn't have to go back to announce the execution, the deputy squadron leader was cut directly on the battlefield, it was better to be killed by the enemy.

"Kill!" , The soldiers shouted in unison, and the old bandits in the middle also shouted strangely, and the distance of more than ten steps on both sides disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the two sides began to engage each other in short combat.

"Poof, poof" The sound of the spear into the flesh sounded again and again, the soldiers rushed forward, the five-meter spear stabbed into the body of the bandit opposite, Wang Changfu took a step forward, forcing back a bandit with an axe in front of him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the captain gunner Fan Shouye stabbed an old bandit in the chest, it is estimated that the spear head hit the sternum, and directly flew the bandit back to the zenith, and the blood spurted from the wound on the bandit's chest sprinkled in the air into a strange arc.

The first row of eight spear thrusts killed six or seven people, these pikemen are composed of the strongest and murderous people, they have to practice hundreds of times a day just to assassinate, and they have to tie heavy objects to their hands and feet on weekdays, now there are no such heavy objects on the battlefield, the hands and feet are more flexible, the speed is very amazing, the oncoming small spear head is not easy to stop, not to mention such a high-speed assassination, for bandits without any armor, each spear assassination is a human life, and bandits do not have such a long spear for the convenience of carrying, Qi Jiajun's bamboo spear is very light, except for the small length of the holding part and maintaining balance behind him, the attack range can reach more than four meters, and the bandits can only be beaten at this distance, which is the difference between the regular army and the bandits' equipment.

The remaining bandits continued to surge under inertia, two bandits who were stabbed subconsciously grabbed the barrel of the gun, the spears of the other gunners were being withdrawn, several bandits in front of Wang Changfu looked for an opportunity to get closer, trying to take advantage of the spear with the old, hand-to-hand combat, Wang Changfu and the boring palladium hand next to them stabbed at the same time, this is what they often encounter in the squad confrontation, the spear is the main attack weapon, but the gun is easy to age, the cover spear relies on boring palladium and knife shield, the front of the boring palladium triprongs is both offensive and defensive, plus Wang Changfu's flag gun assists, The two bandits couldn't dodge, so they had to block with knives, took a step back, and just stood firm, the spear stabbed again, and the bandits were stunned, and then fell softly.

The second round of spears was about to collect the guns, a strong bandit leader suddenly brought a few bandits out of the back row, it was Yingmenliang, he wanted to kill from both sides in the final stage of the impact, just came up and saw five bird guns on the flanks behind, he had a great psychological shadow on these birds, a trembling and retracted, or back to the middle, took the spear to collect the gun, grabbed a gun shaft, the big knife in his hand stretched out, ready to hit directly over, he deliberately avoided the boring palladium and the flag gun, and attacked the middle of the knife and shield, After all, waist knives are not so scary.

Yingmenliang grabbed the spear and stepped forward two steps, he had already avoided the spearhead, the frontal pikeman was no longer a threat to him, several other bandits pinned down other enemies nearby, he was also followed by a personal cover, Yingmenliang only needed to deal with the sword and shield hand in front of him, the knife and shield hand also noticed him, and did not stay in place, his left arm was covered with a round shield in front of him, and his right arm held a knife to slash his head, Yingmenliang did not expect the knife and shield to be able to fight like this, he regretted not bringing a shield in his heart, but the knife had already arrived in front of him, and he had to block a knife horizontally, the sword and shield hand was indomitable, and Yingmenliang used all his strength to block it, and there was no offensive momentum at all.

After a slight delay, the other spears had resumed their attacks, and the three pinned bandits were killed again, and the bandits in the front row took a few steps back, dodging the front of the spear's attack, and the shape of the front row turned into an arc.

Yingmenliang became a lonely person to fight with the other party, he was very anxious, he only won a short time, he couldn't afford to delay, otherwise he would soon ascend to heaven with a pinch attack from the boring palladium on both sides, and he had to force back this sword and shield hand, so that he could easily slash and kill the two pikemen nearby, thus breaking a gap. Yingmenliang was tall and strong, and he waved his big knife anxiously, ready to slash the opponent's round shield, intending to smash this nasty sword and shield hand away with brute force, when suddenly there was a scream from his relatives.

At a glance, a boring palladium in the back row stretched out from the gap of the spearman, piercing into the abdomen of the pro-man, he has a lot of experience in fighting, and the corner of his eye has found that there is also a figure flashing in the gap in front of him, and he immediately put the barrel of the gun and rolled back, just rolled away, a spear in the back row poked at the position where he was standing just now.

Yingmenliang's scalp was numb, and if there was another team in the back row, he couldn't hide from so many weapons, and the plan changed from breaking the formation to running away in a blink of an eye, he stood up and was about to run backwards after rolling, but was hit by a bandit in the back row, Yingmenliang was furious, and was about to push away the bandit, two guns suddenly came out of his chest, but they were two spears in the front row of the official army, and after the guns were drawn, the bandit finally fell to the ground.

Wang Changfu and others also stretched out two spears and boring palladium in the gap, it was the spearmen of the second team behind him, the back row was rushing up together, there was no need to arrange it in formation like the first team, there was a gap on it, the density of weapons in front of the killer team increased greatly, in Wang Changfu's loud command, his squad began to leap forward to attack, the slightly shorter boring palladium, flag spear and long knife all slightly rushed forward, with the spear attack, the front row of bandits faced the attack of the flag gun, boring palladium, and spear at the same time, and they didn't even have time to retreat, and they were killed on the spot. There were seven or eight corpses in front of Wang Changfu.

More than half of the old bandits were killed and wounded, and even the leader died, but only one person threw a javelin to kill a soldier, and the others didn't even touch the other party's side, the little brothers looked at the front row and fell to the ground again and again, they were already frightened, no one dared to be a soldier, the other party's front row jumped forward and continued to advance, the fierce spear stabbed a **, and a few people screamed and were stabbed down, the bandits lost more than 20 people in close combat, the bandits were almost not dead or wounded, and after flying four javelins again, the bandits finally broke down, shouted and turned around and fled.

This time, Chen Xin could see that the bandits had been defeated in a few rounds of spurs, and another opportunity had come, and he shouted: "Disband the formation, and the killer team will pursue the Tongtianliang bandit banner according to each squad." The firearms team and logistics team followed up and provided support. ”

The sea dog picked up the horn and blew out three short horn sounds, and Wang Changfu in front reflexively shouted: "A small team, charge." ”

A small group of soldiers shouted in unison, followed Wang Changfu to rush forward, and killed the bandits who fell behind one by one, the bandits in front heard the movement behind them, ran wildly, and rolled back in a panic, and the bandits who followed Tongtianliang behind also rushed into chaos, Tongtianliang saw that the situation was not good, and quickly retreated, hoping to reorganize the team after retreating a distance as just now, who knew that the officers and troops behind were in hot pursuit, and the formation was not chaotic, the bandits continued to run, and the bandit brigade that remained in place was crushed together, Yang Yunnong, who was by the river, still had this bit of eyesight, and hurriedly commanded Jia Ding and the defenders to rush back together, and the bandits completely collapsed under the attack from both sides, and scattered and fled like a nest in the field on the south bank. These bandits are fighting with great momentum, and once they are frustrated, their morale is completely lost.

The guards of the two guards beat the water dogs and chased after them in great strides, slashing and slashing the helpless bandits from behind.

Wang Changfu led his team straight to the bandit flag of Tongtianliang, the bandit flag was like a magnet, and the four killer squads all rushed there.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Tongtian Liang never expected the striker to lose so quickly, in the chaos even the horse did not know where to run, there were only five or six cronies left, first wrapped to run west, two sides of the attack and then run to the south, while running and looking back, who knew that there were more and more people chasing behind, turned two corners and the same, and ran for a while, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and kicked a cronie behind him to the ground, this brother was very dedicated, even fled with a bandit flag, panting and scolding: "Dog days think Lao Tzu has lived for a long time, isn't it." ”

After that, he rolled his eyes, pointed to the west, and said to the cronies: "Run over there with the flag." After that, he didn't stop, and continued to flee for his life, leaving only three cronies by his side. The pursuers behind really hit the plan and followed to the southwest.

Tongtian Liang was rejoicing, when suddenly there was a bowstring sound, and a heavy arrow flew from behind the side and shot at Tongtian Liang's ass, "Ah! Tongtian Liang grinned and looked back, five officers and soldiers were chasing after him more than 20 steps away, and some fleeing bandits around him did not dare to stop them, so they avoided it far away, and the farther away from this big cabinet the better.

"Run!" The three cronies are still loyal, and hurriedly set up Tongtian Liang to flee together, Tongtian Liang also rose up Yu Yong, the edge of the woods on the hill is in front, and the chance of escaping into the forest is much greater, he was originally a big victory, but he was defeated by a small army in a daze, and even the opponent's face was not on the ground to the ground, it can be regarded as his most nestish battle, this small army is stronger than the soldiers from Dengzhou, I don't know when such a strong soldier appeared in Weihaiwei, he really wanted to cry loudly at this time.

Behind him, there was another bowstring sound, Tongtian Liang subconsciously shrank his head, and a heavy arrow flew overhead, and he even felt the arrow feathers grazing overhead. A few people ran more than a dozen steps, and another arrow came, and a crony next to him was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and he couldn't run anymore, so he simply stopped and turned around and stood with a knife, ready to block the pursuers, and let Tongtian Liang run first.

Tongtian Liang was angry, knowing that he couldn't run away, he was also ruthless, stopped, his original mountain axe fell off when he escaped, drew a waist knife and shouted: "Dog day wants Lao Tzu's head, see if you are qualified." The other two subordinates also stopped, and viciously drew their knives to face the five officers and soldiers who were chasing, he didn't know that the leader was the officer of the small army that had done bad things for him, otherwise he would have pounced on him desperately.

It was Chen Xin who came, he took four personal soldiers, after the soldiers pursued on their own, he took his personal soldiers to observe Tongtianliang, and after being attacked from both sides, he moved to the south and chased all the way in the crowd.

At this time, seeing Tongtianliang's poor rats devouring cats, Chen Xin raised his hand to stop his own soldiers, and after taking a few breaths, he looked at the bandit leader opposite, who was thick and savage, and his blood-red eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire. Tongtian Liang and the three bandits were waiting for him, and it seemed that he was ready to pull a few cushions.

Of course, Chen Xin would not fight with the mortal person, stopped twenty steps away, and said to the sea dog beside him: "Blow the assembly horn!" The sea dog hurriedly took out the horn and blew a long tone assembly number, this horn has many uses, because the horn in his hand has only one tone, so Chen Xin has now simplified the function, getting up, eating, and assembling are all long tones, all of which have a specific time or use conditions, and will not be confused. After hearing the sound of the trumpet, all six flag guns moved in this direction.

Chen Xin said to Zhou Shifa beside him: "Archery!" ”

Tongtianliang saw that Zhou Shifa took the arrow from the arrow insertion, and shouted that it was bad, the people who shot the arrow were not around, and he didn't know where he had gone, seeing the six teams of officers and soldiers chasing this side, and Chen Xin was separated by twenty steps, and he couldn't rush, and he couldn't run away.

"Your mother is really shameless, do you dare to ...... with Lao Tzu"

"Shoot him."

Zhou Shifa had already shot more than a dozen arrows today, and he had run for a long time, and his strength was weaker than usual, but fortunately, the distance was very close, he took out a heavy arrow and hung it on the string, aiming at Tongtian Liang.

Tongtian Liang was targeted, and his pupils contracted, "You damn it, you unplanted turtle ......"

A heavy arrow burst through the air with a whizz, Zhou Shifa was slightly crooked, and hit the arm of a crony next to him, he pulled out another heavy arrow, ready to continue shooting.

Another cronie who was not injured couldn't stand the feeling of this target, and rushed over alone with a roar, and was hit by an arrow halfway, stumbling in front of him, Hai Dog and Zhang Da held a more flexible seven-foot wooden spear, and the two easily killed him with double bayonet tactics, which was also the first time that Hai Gouzi and Zhang Da killed people, but they didn't have time to think too much on the battlefield.

After looking at each other, Tongtian Liang knelt on the ground with a puff, "Shangguan spares his life!" ”

Nie Hong grinned, he had protected Chen Xin all the way just now, and by the way, he had also killed several bandits who had broken up, and the feeling after killing made him very satisfied, seeing that the bandit capital had surrendered to the adult, he was even more proud, and he was going to arrest people.

Chen Xin stretched out his hand slightly to stop him, and then said to Tongtian Liang: "Throw the knife away, and then lie on the ground with your hand stretched." ”

After the three bandits complied under the threat of bows and arrows, Nie Hong went up and tied them up one by one.

Zhang Dahui looked at the six approaching flag guns and asked Chen Xindao, "My lord, where are we going to assemble now?" ”
