readx;?? In the case of a numerical disadvantage, such a thing as hand-to-hand combat is often unavoidable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, for Zhang Jiashi, it is also a good way to verify the actual combat ability of the heavy infantry units that he has spent a lot of money, materials, and armed training through actual combat effects.

And before the first line of heavy infantry battle arranged by the Jizi Korean Phalanx troops and Su Jiao and others, who were already a little sparse in front, made contact, the crossbowmen behind the heavy infantry troops quickly moved back.

It's not that these crossbowmen don't have melee combat ability, on the contrary, in daily training, there are many times when the corresponding melee training is used as one of the main ways of endurance training, and these crossbowmen who are mainly equipped with Qin Jian can engage in hand-to-hand combat in many situations.

Of course, in many ways, these crossbowmen were quite far behind the heavy infantry units of Zhang Jiashi's division, which were almost armed to the teeth, in terms of combat capabilities in close combat.

......

After this period of integration, Zhang Jiashi ordered the Liaodong soldiers to build the kind of Tiemo knife developed by the Liaodong soldiers...... After many tests, it is very easy to break because the material is not up to standard. This is especially true for the relatively narrow and flat blades, which can easily be cut off by heavy weapons due to the characteristics of pig iron.

This is also why Zhang Jiashi had to give up the Mo Knife and choose the thick weapon of the Glaive Knife. It's like being able to do a strange knife in some novels...... Bai Qi will spray the other party's face directly, because the wear and tear of the steel Mo knife is very serious, not to mention the iron Mo knife.

According to the corresponding records of the Mo knife in Zhang Jiashi's consciousness, he is very optimistic about this weapon, but through the actual test, the material requirements of this weapon are very high, and with the smelting level that Zhang Jiashi has mastered now, it is completely impossible to make stainless steel on a large scale.

It may be possible to do this on a small scale with steel that has been repeatedly forged and re-smelted, but there is no possibility of large-scale installation of such weapons.

This is also one of the reasons why Bai Qi turned to hope that Zhang Jiashi would choose the glaive sword style as a heavy infantry equipment.

After all, a weapon like the Glaive is not too harsh on the raw material, and the thickened blade can withstand greater corresponding strength and remain intact.

If you use that kind of Mo knife that you tried to make, it is impossible to do this.

......

Zhang Jiashi's current heavy infantry, except for the officers, most of the officers and soldiers are not equipped with ordinary Qin swords.

It's not that Zhang Jiashi saw this amount of money and couldn't accept it, but through many trials, as long as it didn't break by blocking the opponent's attack with a wooden pole, a glaive knife could support a high-intensity battle no matter how bad it was.

In this case, as a standard weapon, the Glaive is not equipped with the Qin Sword as an emergency equipment.

Moreover, the mass-produced soldier-level long sword also has some unsatisfactory points in terms of hardness and so on. This is not to say that Zhang Jiashi is unwilling to do this, but a weapon that is mainly used as a consumable, in many ways, it is not allowed to use too many man-hours to produce.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Jiashi ordered the corresponding production department to produce different specifications of long swords after thinking about it.

Of course, the city gate combat unit under Zhang Jiashi's command is basically equipped with refined long swords. The most important thing is that in that kind of narrow area, the long sword is longer than 1. The 6-meter Glaive should have better combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the irreparable shortcomings of long-weapon warfare in the Eastern Theater, Zhang Jiashi would not mind producing the short sword with a blade length of less than 40 centimeters from the Roman legions, and then loading it.

That kind of Roman-style short sword, in many ways, the performance is indeed much better than the Qin sword, but because of the length of the weapon, it is impossible to attack the enemy and be killed by the opponent's weapon, which is difficult for Zhang Jiashi to accept.

One of the most important reasons is that the Romans' daggers needed to be quite agile in order to play better.

For the physical training of the troops, which is now more important, the Roman short sword is more of a cart before the horse.

......

In terms of combat training for heavy infantry, Zhang Jiashi changed the previous method of training the troops in the "sheep-herding" combat skills, and hoped that the officers under his command would do their best to achieve unified training in the corresponding period.

In the corresponding training, after practicing with some good players who use long weapons, and communicating with Bai Qi, Zhang Jiashi decided to give up the twelve ways of killing the enemy of the Glaive Knife, that is, the twelve styles of the Glaive Knife in the "Eight Colors of the Knife", and simplified the corresponding moves.

The twelve styles of the glaive knife are: splitting, chopping, grinding, teasing, cutting, cutting, exhibition, picking, patting, hanging, detaining, and cutting.

Because Zhang Jiashi is not equipped with the kind of arc-shaped knife back of the glaive, but a sharp-edged straight-back knife, after many exercises, Zhang Jiashi simplified the 12 styles of the glaive knife into six combat methods: chopping, slashing, stabbing, cutting, sweeping and picking.

The four methods of chopping, stabbing and cutting became the mainstream of training, while sweeping and picking were mainly used against chariots or cavalry trying to break into the formation.

The way of chopping is mainly to attack the enemy with the blade from top to bottom; slashing is a horizontal attack, stabbing is the unique way of this modified glaive knife, stabbing at the enemy with the tip of the blade; cutting is a way to attack the enemy who has fallen to the ground; sweeping is a method of dealing with chariots, mainly to the war horse of the enemy's chariot with force, which can also be used when fighting against infantry, but there are very few people who can do this well; and picking is to use the blade to directly attack the enemy from bottom to top, this method is more effective for cavalry。

With such a simplification, of course, Zhang Jiashi did not think that the Glaive Twelve Styles were useless, but in many cases, the more practical the battlefield combat moves, the simpler they were.

After all, there are relatively few people who are good at using weapons such as knives, and it is easier for people to train accordingly and achieve certain results with simplified moves.

Compared with the simplification of the moves, after this operation, Zhang Jiashi also considered whether to install an armor-piercing cone on the back half of the hilt, after all, the armor-piercing cone is not exactly a combat technique used for emergency situations, and it also has the ability to protect the bottom of the handle from becoming easily damaged due to some factors.

Of course, all this has to be improved after this operation through actual combat effectiveness.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After the Jizi Korean Army was less than thirty meters away from the heavy infantry defense line of the army formation under Zhang Jiashi, the other side changed its slow advance and directly launched a charge assault.

A spear with a handle was raised flat forward, like a dense forest of guns, like a sharp arrow piercing towards the army array under Zhang Jiashi's command.

Knowing that this kind of phalanx soldiers had an advantage in hand-to-hand combat at medium distances, Zhang Jiashi had already ordered the officers of the Qin army to conduct temporary response training.

That is, you can't let the opponent take advantage of the length of the spear, directly approach the opponent, and then use the melee advantage of the Glaive to kill the enemy.

"Withdraw!" the shield men in the front row charge forward!!

A command to use internal force sounded continuously.

And after this command, this shield array, which refers to the phalanx of the Roman legions, quickly separated.

The shield hand in front of him is to block the shield in the middle of his body, so as not to hinder himself from using the shield to defend the charge as much as possible, and speed up and move forward.

The shield soldiers in the second row moved their positions and followed the first row of shield men who had already begun to charge, quickly following the charge.

The two sides began to collide about twenty meters in front of the original first shield line.

Among the Qin troops who were assaulting, some were not exactly shields with thick iron shields, and they were pierced by the opponent's spears with a certain probability.

Such a probability depends on the strength of these phalanx soldiers.

Many of the Qin heavy infantry who had their shields pierced felt the sharp pain caused by the spears that pierced their bodies.

However, even if the opponent's spearmen pierced these wooden iron shields, the iron armor worn by these Qin troops would often reduce these injuries more effectively.

The heavy infantry of the Qin army, which was really directly and completely pierced by the spear, was quite small in number.

Moreover, these North Korean phalanxes, who seriously wounded the enemy in front of them, discovered a problem, that is, it was difficult for their weapons to be pulled out directly.

This is inevitable, after all, it takes more strength to pull out the spear from the shield, which has already changed its position somewhat.

It's just that such situations are relatively rare, and many shield soldiers who have been trained accordingly, after feeling the pain coming from their bodies, subconsciously move the shield that has been pierced, and then jam the opponent's spear hard, preventing the opponent from getting closer to inject strength, or draw out the spear.

At this time, the second platoon of shields will see an opportunity to help or attack the enemy.

And some Qin officers and soldiers with better physique and stronger endurance are not so easy to pierce the all-iron shield they hold in their hands.

Many of the less powerful phalanx soldiers felt the powerful shock more, and then, the tip of the spear was directly slid away by the surface of the shield that was a little curved.

In this situation, many of the Qin heavy infantry continued to approach the opponent for a distance, and then after reaching the effective attack range of the Glaive Sword that they had pulled behind them, they attacked the opponent directly.

Many of the North Koreans' phalanx soldiers hurriedly raised their shields directly to block, but many of them did not expect that the target of the other party was actually their hand holding the spear.

Many Korean phalanx soldiers who couldn't react were directly cut off the elbow of the opponent by these Qin heavy infantry who had been trained accordingly......

Many of the phalanx soldiers howled, and their other hand, which was used to hold the shield, was reflexively holding the position of their severed hand because of the severe pain, and as a result, this created a considerable gap.

In this case, the second platoon, who had learned how to seize the opportunity, swung his weapon directly.

And those North Korean phalanxes often feel another sharp pain in their waist or thighs.

When these phalanx soldiers stood unsteadily, knelt down or fell directly to the ground, what awaited them was the cold light of the Qin heavy infantry who cut off their arms, and the tip of the knife brought to them was illuminated by the sun......

......

The situation of hand-to-hand combat became more and more intense, and as more and more personnel on the engagement front increased, the screams on the battlefield rose one after another, spreading throughout the entire combat front.

However, these phalanx soldiers of the Mingo Korea saw that after losing the advantage in the length of their spears, in many cases they could not even directly counterattack the opponent.

What awaited them, although it was not entirely a one-sided massacre, some of the heavy infantry teams of the Qin army also paid a corresponding degree of casualties.

However, under this circumstance, the troops of the Minzi Korean Phalanx in front of the battle line were basically wiped out in less than five minutes.

Of course, they also used their lives to defend the outdated elite name of the phalanx.

Although the spear is not an outdated weapon, the relatively more weak combat methods like this are the main reason for the decline of the phalanx soldiers.

......

Unlike the phalanx soldiers in the east, the Macedonian phalanx soldiers, who were obviously exaggerated in combat effectiveness, would become even more miserable in the face of the battle formation arranged by Li Zuoche from time to time.

Because the core of the Macedonian phalanx is hand-to-hand assault rather than corresponding battle formations.

That kind of small round shield, to guard against the density of arrows in the Qin army's array, is simply impractical.

The so-called Alexander the Great can really find the Silk Road in later generations and hit the border of Qin, and what awaits them will be a fate......

Perhaps the Macedonian phalanx had a corresponding formation corresponding to the rain of arrows, but in the face of the chariot impact of the Qin army, the troops of Alexander the Great, who were relatively inferior in numbers, could not effectively deal with it at all.

Perhaps, bullying the other party with numbers will be said to be invincible. But there is a problem, that is, this is originally the advantage of the Qin State, and the person who will not use his advantage to fight is often just a fool, not some chivalry.

Moreover, there was no such statement at the time......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

This battle, to this point, can basically be said to have won and lost.

However, after the most elite troops were basically lost, the remnants of the Korean troops in Jizi did not want to retreat, but experienced the baptism of arrows, and suffered quite a lot of casualties, and the Korean light infantry units, which were easily entangled by the heavy infantry of the Qin army that came by the assault, could not run to other places at all.

Perhaps, many North Koreans clearly realize that breaking through the Qin army formation on the opposite side is the only way for them to survive in the current situation.

It's just that what they are facing, in terms of the equipment of their troops, is a fundamentally unshakable existence.

......

As a hundred generals of the Qin army, the weapon in his hand is not the Glaive Knife, but a double-edged axe that he can order from the Liaodong Army.

Although in terms of attack range, Yu Yong's double-edged axe was only a little better than their hundred-level sword, which had a range of about 70 centimeters, no one could underestimate the huge casualties caused by this double-edged axe.

Maybe in pure strength, Zhang Jiashi searched the entire army under his command, but he couldn't find anyone to compare with Yu Yong, and even Ruan Weng Shao, who claimed to have inherited his father's bravery, had to end up with an unbelievable appearance after using simple strength to swing his wrist.

In Yu Yong's heart, the life and death of these North Koreans are not the same thing to him at all.

He only knew that the young General Zuo who saved them, the little big brother who sighed in the sunset, was the one he thought he wanted to protect and serve for.

Every time he swung an axe, at least one North Korean was cut in two.

He led his troops and took the lead in the left flank formation, directly killing the North Korean troops who were blocking their front.

He didn't know that his performance was seen by Zhang Jiashi, and naturally he didn't know that Zhang Jiashi was also quite surprised by the martial arts shown by this burly and strong man who should be younger than him.

"Death !!to those who stand in my way"

In Zhang Jiashi's heart, it seemed that this domineering sentence sounded.

And at this time, a clanging sound echoed in the sky......

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

The officers and soldiers of Qin, who had been accustomed to Zhang Jiashi's military orders that had been revised many times, and realized that the military law was ruthless, naturally obeyed this order to retreat.

This battle, just like that, is it a bit anticlimactic?

Zhang Jiashi didn't know if such an idea was a bit like that for Li Zuoche and the two of them.

But Zhang Jiashi, who knew very well what Li Zuoche and what he had in mind, did not dwell too much on this. After all, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that occasionally Li Zuoche would do this for no reason.

And after he heard Bai Qi's words, he also knew that he had won a decisive victory in this field battle.

"I have to say that although there are many omissions, this battle is indeed a beautiful win for you. ”

Of course, Bai Qi would not say this for no reason, in his eyes, he knew very well that this battle, and Li Zuoche could not win the battle, then it was called a ghost.

Of course, to be able to pay such a price, in terms of achieving such a record, he also had to secretly praise it.

As for the occasional and why Li Zuoche retreated. Bai Qi was naturally able to guess something.

From the remnants of the surviving officers and soldiers on the other side, the panicked rout is enough to show that Li Zuoche also knows this.

Against such an enemy, there may not be any need to waste any more costs. But he thinks that a sentence is very reasonable: "Poor Kou Mo chase", since this time the battle has been fought to this extent, it will have no effect if it continues to be pursued.

Moreover, for these enemy troops who have lost the will to fight, whether they kill the opponent or not, the effect is similar.

And Bai Qi looked at the city wall of Wang Jiancheng with the consciousness of Zhang Jiashi, and fell into contemplation......
