Wang Yu has always felt that there is something wrong with his father Wang Kuang's military vision, and now, having seen the real positional warfare in this era, he is even more emotional.

Wang Kuang recruited troops and horses in his hometown, spent a lot of money to build a Jing army, but it turned out to be a crossbowman, and then used this army to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. This kind of practice can already be described as unreasonable, the crossbow is a weapon purely for regular warfare, breaking shields, armor, and chaotic formations, and it is not used at all to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

The cost of using a strong crossbow is not a one-time xing, this thing is very strong and delicate, and the usual maintenance also costs a lot of money.

With the same money, it is enough to build an infantry unit of one or two thousand, five hundred strong bows, and with a thousand sword and shield spears, the actual combat power is more than twice as high as that of five hundred strong crossbows? If you build a number of cavalry, you will also be able to fight well.

However, to be honest, Wang Yu has nothing to complain about, these five hundred crossbows did not play any role in Wang Kuang's hands, but in his hands, they played a lot of roles.

Don't talk about the far, let's just talk about the close, the few rounds of Qi shè of the strong crossbow did cause limited damage to Xu Rongjun, but the damage to the shield array was not small. Not anyone can afford such a huge shield, and they can also maintain a tacit understanding with other comrades and maintain a flawless shield array.

The strong crossbow is like an iron cone, the shield array to tear a few holes, killing and injuring the shield hand, if the opposite leader is not a famous general like Xu Rong, it is difficult to say that the sergeant behind will not have time to fill the position, and the effect of filling the position can be the same as before.

In addition, he was also amazed by the strength of the Han army.

Those Macedonian phalanxes, Roman shield arrays, and even Spanish phalanxes, which were praised by later generations, were actually leftovers from the Chinese ancestors. Really take those Western military formations that worship on the top, even if it is a Spanish phalanx, as long as they do not use flintlock pistols, in front of the regular army of the Han Dynasty, they will only be crushed.

No matter how powerful the Yellow Turban Army is, it can't defeat the Han Army, which is really normal. Unless they can always maintain a state of fanaticism and are not afraid of life and death, how can they be able to curry favor in front of this kind of military formation with their rudimentary equipment and rough tactics?

The storm of bows and crossbows alone was enough to inflict heavy casualties on a Yellow Turban army of thousands and collapse its morale.

In the same way, in the face of such a military formation, the force of individual entry is also insignificant. Even if it is Lu Bu, who is fully armed, if he attacks such a military formation alone, he can carry a strong crossbow Qi shè, but he can't resist the rain of arrows.

What's more, there are even more ruthless ones in the back.

As the distance approached, the two armies turned into a huge torrent, accompanied by the sound of war drums like raindrops, and the terrible and piercing howls of crossbow arrows tearing through the air, mustering all the strength of their bodies, and letting out the loudest roar.

"Kill!"

Like a storm struck a rock as hard as iron; It is like a thunderbolt descending into the world, competing with the earth, shouting and killing and colliding!

Torrents collide!

In the end, it turned into a shocking bang, overpowering all the noise on the battlefield!

The first to collide was the shieldman.

"Bang!"

The giant shield collided together, making a loud bang, and the slightly weaker force entered, and was instantly knocked upside down and flew out.

However, this situation is extremely rare, the shield bearers are all strong men selected by Jing, even if the strength is not as good, there are few such a huge difference, and the vast majority of the battle line is a stalemate.

These strong men push with their hands, pedal, and carry on their shoulders, desperately trying to overwhelm their opponents; The shield creaked and rattled with a shrill grinding.

The shieldmen were fighting, and the others were not idle, and the crossbowmen spontaneously dispersed, no longer in unison, but according to their own observations, throwing the arrows where they should go.

The spear-wielding spearman took up the position given up by the archers, and pierced his spear into the enemy through the shieldmen in the confrontation.

Then, on both sides of the shield array, it seemed that an irregular and thorny jungle had grown, like two swarms of angry bees, stabbing at each other, rolling like waves.

Every time there is a flurry of rolling one after another, it will bring up a rain of blood, which is shocking. However, without retreating, soldiers continued to step forward to fill their positions, growing the momentum of the waves.

The short soldiers with swords, shields, and axes were not idle.

Although the existence of the shield array restricts the occurrence of large-scale melee, no matter how clever the command is, it is impossible to completely guarantee the integrity of the shield array.

If the gap is created by the collapse of the shield formations of both sides at the same time, then the battle is fought by the sword and axe men of both sides, who wield the axes in their hands, roaring and fighting the enemy with the same weapon, not giving an inch.

There are only three endings in a fierce battle, or death in battle; Either a new shield hand will fill the position, and the battle line will be restored; Either kill the opponent back, take advantage of the situation to attack the opponent's line, and tear more gaps in the opponent's array.

The spearmen are very powerful when they stab, but if they lose the protection in front of them and are attacked by the short soldiers, they will only be slashed and killed. Therefore, once there is a gap in the shield array, it must be fought to the death to avoid being invaded by the enemy and taking advantage of the expansion.

The ideal outcome would be for one side to completely collapse and the other to march in full. In that case, the side that collapsed the formation would face a massacre, and the stragglers who could not form a line would have no resistance in front of the formation.

The most common result is that the arrays of both sides gradually collapse, and then fall into a big scuffle, who loses and who wins, is out of the control of the main general, which is in line with the saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Of course, it is also possible that both sides think that they can't take each other and can't bear the huge casualties, and the military formations of both sides will gradually disengage under the orders of the commander-in-chief, and then each will withdraw its troops.

However, in this battle, the battle situation has been in a stalemate.

The battle lines of the two sides are staggered together, gaps continue to appear, and there are constantly fills, and then they are repeated back and forth, one after another. The battle was quite stalemate, so it became more and more fierce.

Blood splattered, stumps flew everywhere, and corpses rolled everywhere.

The sword is flying, the spear is roaring, the arrow is in the trombone, and the horse is neighing!

The sound of gold and iron clashing with weapons, the roars of soldiers when they fight, the cries of pain when they are wounded, the screams before they die, the sound of thick and fierce war drums, and the sound of loud trumpets...... All kinds of voices intertwined under Lan Yao.

The dust and mist drifted with the wind on the empty plains, making the clouds in the sky thicker. The strong smell of blood rushed up, and the sun was dizzy, and his face was pale, and he had to hide in a thick cloud.

Li Cun looked at Yu Ban with a shocked face, although Wang Yu was clever in arranging the array, but the array battle in front of him was real, and there was no trick in the slightest. while

In Chenggao, the famous General Cao was defeated in the array battle, and at that time, the coalition army had more soldiers and horses.

It would have been fine if it was Wang Yu who commanded this battle, but Wang Yu didn't make a move at all, he just casually assigned a captain under his command who didn't look surprised, and as a result, he could tie with the invincible Xu Rong, which was really unbelievable.

In fact, there is no trick in this tactic, it is nothing more than trying to maintain the stability of the array, and then trying to destroy the enemy's entry line. But this kind of thing is easier said than done.

Through observation, the commander should discover the danger at the first time, even predict it in advance, and then command the troops to go up before the danger becomes out of control. The reverse is also true, which is nothing more than the difference between destruction and maintenance.

In a war of thousands of troops, how easy is it to do such a thing?

At the beginning, or the battle was not fierce, maybe it could be calmly dispatched, but the fierce battle in front of me was already white-hot, and the layman was afraid that he couldn't even distinguish the flag clearly, and how to find the troops who needed rescue and the idle troops in the chaotic battlefield, and let them go to the position where they should go, and not disturb each other?

This kind of thing, just thinking about it, has already made me have a headache, and I actually commanded it? Li Cun knew that it was impossible for him to do it in his life. He was very curious, his subordinates were so powerful, what kind of scene would it be when the main son Wang Peng raised his hand?

He was amazed, and Wang Yu was also amazed, but Wang Yu found something else in addition to being amazed.

He asked quietly: "Hansheng, is the situation of our army ......?"

"The situation of our army is unfavorable, Wen Ze has reached the limit, Xu Rong seems to be at ease, in fact, even if this is not the case, our army will be defeated sooner or later if it continues to fight like this. Our army has few soldiers, Wen Ze has already begun to send Danyang soldiers into battle, and he will soon fall into a situation where there are no soldiers to adjust, and when the time comes, no matter how high his command ability is, he can only ......"

Huang Zhong was also shocked by Ban's ability, but he kept a clear head and calmly made an accurate judgment on the situation.

"However, if you retreat like this, I'm afraid the situation will get out of control." Wang Yu didn't forget, Xu Rong was in a fish scale formation, this was an assault formation, and the pursuit was just as sharp.

Huang Zhong asked, "Otherwise...... Fight back first? He knew that Wang Yu still had two trump cards in his hand, the Youzhou Army and Xu Huang's hoplites, no matter which one of them shot, he could turn the situation back.

Wang Yu hesitated a little, those two trump cards could not be moved lightly, otherwise there would be no power to fight back. Bai Ma Yicong is okay, as long as they don't need to force the enemy's formation and cause too many casualties, they can be used repeatedly, Xu Huang's five hundred heavy infantry is basically a xing, and besides, their location is not right.

"Don't worry, the lord will not be dishonored......

Because Yu Ban was sweating profusely and commanding the battle, Wang Yu and Huang Zhong spoke very softly, but Yu Ban suddenly spoke, and his expression that had been tense also loosened, and Jing Ran showed a smile of relief and relief!

Facing Wang Yu and Huang Zhong's puzzled gazes, Yu Ban said softly: "Gongqing Xu is going to change formation!" ”
