Chapter 5 Martial Arts

It can't be said that this game doesn't have the slightest military benefit, but a game is a game after all.

Zhu Houhuang was thus pushed to the head of the Left Army.

Zhu Houhuang and Zhengde are at both ends of the school field.

The drums sounded again, and Zhu Houhuang stood under the handsome flag, looking at the opposite side. There were more than a dozen generals standing beside him, and Zhu Houhuang saw contempt in the eyes of these generals.

But they don't dare to openly embarrass themselves. Zhu Houhuang didn't care. He's looking at the whole schoolyard, no, the whole battlefield.

This school field, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people to practice, is very large if it is just a drill. But if it's a battlefield, it's a little small.

On this battlefield, there is no need to worry about any detours, surprises, or sneak attacks, just pay attention to the dignified battle.

Zhu Houhuang first reviewed his subordinates.

He didn't have many subordinates, but just over a thousand. In addition to these more than 1,000 foot soldiers, there were more than 200 cavalry.

Zhu Houhuang looked at it and felt a little disappointed, not knowing that they did not advocate soldiers and nobles. Among the soldiers, those with swords and shields, and those with spears, were divided under different hundred households. Anyway, there is no such thing as a hundred households that only have spears, or that one hundred households only have swords and shields.

Zhu Houhuang looked at it, gathered more than a dozen and hundreds of households together and said, "Do you know the Qin Dynasty phalanx? ”

More than a dozen hundred households looked at each other, none of them were scholars, they knew a few big characters at most, and it was great to be able to flip through Sun Tzu's Art of War. What is the pre-Qin phalanx, but I have never heard of the existence. I couldn't help but shake my head.

Zhu Houhuang didn't say much. Squat directly on the ground and pull out a dagger. said: "The Qin Dynasty phalanx is very simple, and the military system of the Qin and Han dynasties is the two-five system. Five people are together, and two people are together. Five tithes for the tun. Zhu Houhuang drew a horizontal line on the ground, as a team, and then drew two horizontals, as a tithe, and drew five tithes as a tun, and said: "This tun is a small phalanx." He circled a small phalanx with a dagger and said: "This is the most basic establishment of the Qin Dynasty army, but when thousands of troops and horses are mobilized, it is aimed at small phalanxes. I don't want you to set up any fancy formations. As long as you set up a phalanx, one hundred households and one hundred people, which is about the same as one tun people, I will let the cavalry be distributed on both sides. You are arranged in a phalanx. ”

Zhu Houhuang used a dagger to draw a straight line on the ground, as a foot soldier, and then drew two diagonal lines on both sides of the straight line, as a cavalry, and said: "The sword and shield hand is the first, used to protect the bow and arrow, and then the back is a long grabber, followed by the archer, the archer will shoot, right?" ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't wait for the others to speak, and continued: "Wait a while, Your Majesty will definitely attack first, we just need to defend steadily." Cavalry on both sides, watch out for His Majesty's cavalry, and don't let them bypass you. And the foot soldiers are not allowed to retreat a step, and if the enemy brigade attacks, the first row of sword and shield men squats down and lays down their knives on the ground. The spear in the back is flattened and hedged. How is it, do you have any comments? ”

A hundred households said: "How is the prince, what should I do if the other party's cavalry rushes into battle?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "The formation is invincible, and the opposite side is not armored cavalry, how about them charging into the formation?" Against the infantry phalanx, I was never afraid of the enemy's cavalry charging into formation, but I was afraid of bypassing the phalanx and hitting my rear. ”

More than a dozen and hundreds of households looked embarrassed, but it was difficult to say anything. One hundred households said: "Shizi, don't you leave a few soldiers by your side?" ”

This also reminded Zhu Houhuang that he had to leave a little reserve in his hand, so he nodded and said, "I have left a hundred households in my hand to supervise the battle." But I'll tell you first, if you have a hundred points on your body, you will naturally quit, but the people on the field don't give work and don't make efforts, believe me, I want to pack a small soldier or easily. Of course, if you win, Your Majesty has a lottery, I won't take a penny, I will give it to you, as long as you give me a face. ”

"You know what?"

The hundreds of households shouted and said, "I know." ”

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

After a while, there was only one thousand households left around Zhu Houhuang, and there was also the flag officer. He raised his head, looked at the big flag waving on the opposite side, and asked the flag bearer, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

The flag bearer said: "Your Majesty asked me if I was okay, and he was in a hurry." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Reply to Your Majesty, it will be fine in a while." He watched from behind, but saw several hundreds of officials arguing noisily, and it took a while before there was an outline.

Zhu Houhuang looked a little uncomfortable, turned over his horse, whipped away, came to every hundred households, and saw where he was uncomfortable, so he pointed and asked for correction.

For about a quarter of an hour or so, the entire phalanx was like the same thing, and Zhu Houhuang nodded and ordered: "Shoot the formation." ”

Immediately several long arrows were thrown and nailed to the ground.

Only then did Zhu Houhuang breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Reply to Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

Zhengde rode on a horse, pulled a clairvoyant mirror, and said in his mouth: "My younger brother, how much strength do you have, Jiang Bin, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "The formation of King Yong's prince is just decent. ”

Zhengde asked, "How to break?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Defeat, let the foot soldiers attack for a while, and then retreat and let the prince of Yongwang attack." Only as soon as he attacked, the prince of Yongwang could not control the position, and the formation was chaotic, and I led more than 300 horsemen to step directly over, and I could take the banner of the prince of Yongwang. ”

After listening to this, Zhengde thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid, my younger brother shouldn't be so easy to deal with, but, according to your method, but don't use any deception, if you can break through the phalanx of my younger brother, just attack it directly, if you can't break it, then use your method." ”

Jiang Bin lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Jiang Bin immediately ordered, a big flag waved, and the troops who had been lined up for a long time immediately moved. rushed towards Zhu Houhuang's side.

The school field is not big. After a while, the two formations met.

Zhengde's side strode towards Zhu Houhuang's side.

Zhu Houhuang rode a war horse, looked farther, and saw that the other party had passed the place where the arrow was tested, and immediately ordered. Said: "Release the arrow." ”

In an instant, a bowstring sounded, and countless bows and arrows were shot out, ten rounds in a row.

Although the bow and arrow are drawn, it still hurts to shoot at a person. In an instant, many people were shot with bows and arrows and retreated. The Zhengde side shot long arrows almost at the same time. Hit Zhu Houhuang's side, but they were different from Zhu Houhuang's throwing, but several rows of archers, lined up in front of the formation, shot more than a dozen rounds of arrows, and after the archers were exhausted, the soldiers behind shouted loudly and said, "Rush," countless soldiers rushed out. Rushed towards Zhu Houhuang's phalanx.

These soldiers were all wearing armor with a layer of silk on the outside of the armor, which was called Guojin by Zhengde. Zhengde chose yellow silk, while Zhu Houhuang is blue silk, blue and yellow, warp and weft are distinct.

After a while, a lot of people withdrew.

Zhu Houhuang slowly counted the people who withdrew, there were fewer people on his side, and there were more people on Zhengde's side.

But no matter how clearly you calculate, this is also the case where so many soldiers collide together, and from time to time people are lifted out with broken bones and tendons.

Zhengde's side rushed for a while, and gradually his stamina was insufficient.

The personnel on both sides are almost the same, and Zhu Houhuang spent a long time setting up the formation, and the formation he arranged was quite dense, almost people-to-person, crowded, and the spears were dense like hedgehogs, and anyone could only need to face the enemy in front of them.

Moreover, as soon as the formation of Zhengde's side rushed, the formation fell apart, so that Zhu Houhuang's side took advantage of it.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but smile lightly, seeing that Zhengde's footmen couldn't rush down.

The sound of "Dangdang" came over.

The foot soldiers opposite Zhengde began to retreat.

The flag bearer asked, "Shizi, don't you order the pursuit?" ”

Zhu Houhuang couldn't hold back the desire to pursue, and said: "Pursue slowly, catch up with a hundred steps and return to the same place." ”

"Yes." The flag bearer agreed, and immediately passed down the order.

With a shout, Zhu Houhuang's foot soldiers rushed out violently, like a tiger descending the mountain and rushing towards the opposite side. Seeing this, Zhu Houhuang immediately jumped to his feet and said, "Wrong, wrong." It should not be pursued. ”

Zhu Houhuang could see this chase clearly, everyone ran apart, where is there any formation.
