"The minister has seen the emperor!" Jingwen and Zhang Shigui met Li Shimin together.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, today's theme is to practice new tactics, you don't have to be too nervous." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin characterized the military exercise as a drill for new tactics, but in fact he was saving face for both sides. Because of this so-called new tactic, if it succeeds at that time, then Zhang Shigui will not be so ashamed, because this is a new tactic and he is not prepared! But even if they fail, Jingwen may not be ashamed, because Jingwen is just a newly trained soldier, so they may not be the opponent of the veteran, which is understandable. Li Shimin was able to do this, and he also had good intentions and took care of the face of both sides. Generally speaking, most of the time, it is the subordinates who take care of the boss's face, but if the boss is willing to lose face for the subordinates, it is definitely able to make the subordinates absolutely support. Li Shimin can take care of the face of both sides as much as possible, which shows that he is already capable of the Ming army.

"Array!" Zhang Shigui shouted.

And Jingwen heard Zhang Shigui shouting about the formation, and immediately asked his important military staff officer, that is, that Feng Yong, and said, "Feng Yong, what formation do they use?" What should we probably do? ”

"Lord Jingwen, you just follow the original arrangement. This Zhang Shigui despised us too much, and did not think of our tactics. The conventional cavalry tactics they used were to let the cavalry rush up in waves. Generally speaking, cavalry tactics are to rush up after the first wave, the second wave can follow, and the third wave will rush up at short intervals. In this way, they can maintain the continuity of an attack, and after the first wave breaks through, the second and third waves can continue to expand the results. And Lord Jingwen, your infantry tactics are just to restrain this, and I'm afraid they just hit the muzzle of the gun. ”

"But if we want to win, we have to do our best. If Zhang Shigui reacts. If we form a sharp arrow formation, then we are afraid that we are at risk of being breached. Because our soldiers are all new recruits, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist their breakthrough. Moreover, their Zhang Shigui is a first-class brave general, if Zhang Shigui takes the lead in the charge, then I am afraid that no one will be able to stop us. Therefore, we must annihilate as many enemies as possible in the shortest possible time. At that time, even if Zhang Shigui is furious, we can use the number of people to surround him. ”

After listening to Feng Yong's explanation, Jingwen was not afraid. Because of this, Zhang Shigui still despised them. The most conventional cavalry tactics were used. And if you play like this, then I'm afraid Jingwen will definitely have a great advantage. And the Blade Arrow Formation is not without danger, but for Jingwen and these recruits, it is just restrained. The soldiers on Jingwen's side are probably not good for the time being, and they will not be able to resist the enemy's central breakthrough.

Jingwen's side formed three echelons according to the arrangement, the first echelon was soldiers with bows and arrows, they were lined up in three rows, holding light crossbows in their hands. And this point is the most incomprehensible to everyone, why let the crossbowmen line up in the first echelon. This is different from the previous methods of using troops. Because it was always the crossbowmen who were hanging from the rear, or shooting at the enemy infantry. And, according to previous experience, in front of the galloping cavalry. The crossbowmen simply couldn't shoot many arrows, and the cavalry would attack them. But Jingwen is like this, which is a little incomprehensible.

"Hmph, the other party's chef is a chef. Where can cooking be compared to fighting with soldiers? Rush me! Zhang Shigui immediately shouted.

"Rush!" It was the soldier who rushed forward with a wooden lance.

"Crossbowman, get ready to shoot!" Feng Yong gave an order in place of Jing Wen.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps. One hundred steps.

"Shoot!" Feng Yong shouted.

"Whoosh......" The crossbowmen began to shoot continuously.

"Knock knock......" Cavalry was constantly shot, and as a result, they left the battlefield with white flags.

Li Shimin saw it very obviously from a high place, that is, Jingwen used a kind of three-fold shooting, so that the rain of arrows continued, and constantly shot at these cavalrymen. And Zhang Shigui was in the rear, and he didn't see that the first echelon was being consumed, and he thought that this kind of bow and crossbow would not last long at all, and it could not bring many casualties.

"Pharmacist, it seems that Zhang Shigui is going to suffer a loss this time! I really didn't expect that this kid Jingwen would be able to think of such a method, and the bows, crossbows and arrows were endless. This directly caused the enemy's cavalry to suffer heavy losses. Zhang Shigui is afraid that he will be unlucky this time. Li Shimin said.

Li Jing also said: "I seem to have mentioned this tactic slightly in books, but it has gradually been lost. But I didn't expect this kid Jingwen to think like this. ”

"Oh? Where? Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Jing also shook his head and said: "I don't remember which book it is, it mentioned that the Qin Dynasty's crossbowmen lined up in three columns, and then shot at the opponent's cavalry, causing huge casualties to the Huns." But then it was lost, and if it weren't for the fact that I saw Jingwen use it again in this kind, I wouldn't have remembered that there was such a method. ”

"That's a good tactic! Why is it lost? Li Shimin also asked curiously.

Li Jing sighed and said, "Since the Qin Dynasty, there has been more civil strife in China than foreign wars. From the point of view of historical development, it is the light cavalry of our Han people that has gradually developed into heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry wears heavy armor, and the effect of this method on the heavy cavalry is very poor, perhaps this is the reason for being eliminated. However, the development of our former Sui Dynasty has actually evolved from heavy cavalry to light cavalry again, which makes this tactic resurrected again. And because of the development of heavy cavalry for hundreds of years, this tactic has been lost, so even if I didn't think about it for a while, I'm afraid there are not many statements in the books about the Qin Dynasty people using this tactic. ”

If Jingwen knew what Li Jing said, he would definitely praise Li Jing loudly. According to the original history, this kind of triad shooting was indeed lost before the Song Dynasty. And the Tang Dynasty did not think of this tactic of three-fold shooting at all, because the Tang Dynasty did not lack war horses, so the cavalry was abundant. The Tang Dynasty still believed that the only way to fight the cavalry was to pass through the guò cavalry, so they did not need to restrain the cavalry with infantry. And the Song Dynasty lacked horses, so the tactics of an infantry against cavalry were continued by them. People were forced out, so the Song Dynasty was forced out of this three-fold shooting again. But Jingwen is a later generation, of course he can know about three-fold shooting, but the people of the Tang Dynasty don't know! (To be continued......)
