…

The Macedonian phalanx was a tactic used in early Western infantry warfare.

Before Homer's time, the infantry was a swarm of bees, so the Macedonian phalanx, with its strict formations, could easily defeat a numerically superior but chaotic enemy.

However, the Macedonian phalanx is not perfect and invincible.

In fact, the exact opposite, the Macedonian phalanx actually has many shortcomings.

The Macedonian phalanx had a fatal weakness in the first place, which was that it could be killed if it tried not to have a unified battlefield and attacked only its flanks or its back, not its front.

- Once the enemy breaks through the flank or back of the Macedonian phalanx, the spearmen in the spear array are almost a live target for slashing.

In addition, the Macedonian phalanx was weak against dense arrow formations, especially those without shield protection.

In this way, whether it is a light cavalry archery or an infantry group, as long as they can disperse the light infantry, the spearmen in the formation can almost only be shot and killed.

But then again, as the Macedonian phalanx, which once swept three of the four ancient civilizations, in some specific battlefields, such as the horse army that can't run, and the infantry that fights separately, especially in a place that can't be dispersed, the horror of the Macedonian phalanx is vividly reflected.

"Raise your gun, stab!"

Seeing Yu Yancheng leading several brave cavalry to pounce in front of him, Li Cun suddenly waved his sword and pointed forward, and roared.

The first row of the Macedonian phalanx are all elites who Li Cunzhi does not hesitate to fight, such as the five fools of the queen.

Therefore, although their faces were tense to the point of trembling, their palms were full of sweat, and even their legs were a little trembling with nervousness, but while hearing Li Cun's order, they almost instinctively held their spears together, exerted their strength to eat, and yelled with a trill: "Kill!" ”

Immediately, the brave Yu Yancheng was pierced by two spears, and even the war horse under his crotch was not spared by the three spears.

Li Cun had heard people say that Yu Yancheng's martial arts were very high, and he might not even be under Li Cun.

But on the battlefield, especially on some specific battlefields, personal bravery really can't change the results.

Just like Yu Yancheng, just now Li Cunke saw it with his own eyes, after Yu Yancheng rushed over, he relied on his strong martial arts skills and dodged several shots in a row.

It's a pity that this still can't change the ending of Yu Yancheng being pierced by the Macedonian phalanx with almost no dead ends.

This scene also gave Li Cun a deep wake-up call, so that in the future, Li Cun rarely relied on his martial arts to be good, and blindly charged into battle.

The other brave cavalry who rushed up with Yu Yancheng, without exception, also followed in Yu Yancheng's footsteps.

Seeing such a result, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, who were still nervous to death, were all relieved, and then they all became excited.

It turns out that it is not difficult to kill the enemy, as long as you listen to the general's command and tell you to do anything, then we are still afraid of a fart!

——A group of Tiger Ben recruits began to evolve from recruits to real Tiger Ben.

The army that is charging does not mean that you can stop if you want to, especially the horse army in a narrow area.

What's more, in the eyes of these landlords' armed forces, their back road has been cut off by the Tiger Ben Army and Fang Baihua Army, and only by breaking through the Tiger Ben Army in front can they have a way to live.

Therefore, the ensuing battle is quite a bit of a succession.

Lin Jiadian was dusty, the sound of killing shook the sky, and a bloody battle was fought for nearly half an hour, until the remaining hundreds of landlords were armed, or dismounted and surrendered, or threw away their weapons and surrendered, or turned around and fled to Fang Baihua and Zhang Shi, and there was no resistance at the scene, which was not over.

The morning sun shone on the impaled corpses, shimmering bright red and sparkling with blood.

The air was filled with a thick, disgusting smell of blood.

Some of the mortally wounded lay on the ground dying, and they looked at the sky one last time, wondering whether their hearts were longing for heaven or fearing hell, and the corners of their lips twitching did not know whether they were smiling or in pain.

Niu Meng consciously took over the surviving more than 100 war horses and the sabers armed by the landlords, and more than 100 soldiers of the Tiger and Horse Army, who had been used as infantry, picked up the saber and rode on the war horse with tears in their eyes.

After consulting Li Cun, Niu Meng immediately led the Tiger Ben Horse Army to attack Yujiazhuang.

On Li Cun's side, he asked people to interrogate the prisoners at the first time, who were the landlords who participated in the attack on the rebels, and how many soldiers were left in their Zhuangzi?

After getting the detailed enemy situation, Li Cun boldly divided his troops and sent people to attack the Zhuangzi of these landlords.

As for Li Cun, he personally led 500 personal guard battalions to meet Niu Meng.

- For Li Cun, the Zhuangzi of other landlords is just the icing on the cake, and only Yu Yancheng's Yujiazhuang is what he is bound to get.

Long story short.

When Li Cun led the guard battalion to Yujiazhuang, Niu Meng had already attacked Yujiazhuang and controlled all the people in Yujiazhuang.

Li Cun walked through Yujiazhuang and found that Yujiazhuang was very large, and there was a school field larger than the grain field, the key was that Yujiazhuang was close to the Xin'an River, the waterway was extremely convenient, and there were more than 100 boats parked on the riverside, including more than a dozen large ships of 5,000 materials.

In addition, Yujiazhuang still has more than 100,000 stones of grain, more than 30,000 horses of cloth, gold, silver, jewelry and other materials have not been counted, but they are certainly not a few.

In addition, the terrain of Yujiazhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can avoid being attacked by the enemy to a large extent.

- To be honest, that is, the people of Yujiazhuang did not expect that Yu Yancheng, who had won consecutive battles recently, would be defeated so quickly, Niu Meng and other soldiers of the Tiger Horse Army took Yujiazhuang by surprise with the speed advantage of the war horse, otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Tiger Army to take down Yujiazhuang, even if Yu Yancheng took away most of the weapons in Yujiazhuang.

Li Cun immediately decided to use Yujiazhuang as the new stronghold of the Tiger Ben Army, and sent people to call the remaining Tiger Ben Army and Fang Baihua Army and their military families.

After completely occupying Yujiazhuang, Li Cuncai sent people to contact Zhuangzi's Huben army and Fang Baihua's army, which attacked other landlords.

Before long, the news came back one after another.

Li Cun's more than a dozen tiger armies and Fang Baihua armies, some of which relied on the private armed forces of the landlord's family, were all sent out of their homes, and some of them were caught off guard by the landlord's family, and several landlords' Zhuangzi were defeated, but more of them were unable to do anything and surrounded the Zhuangzi of those landlords' families according to Li Cun's instructions in advance.

Li Cun did not rush to attack those Zhuangzi who had not been defeated, but waited until the remaining Tiger Ben Army and Fang Baihua Army moved their families to Yujiazhuang with their military families, and then let Zhang Shi lead the 3,000 Tiger Ben Army and the 1,000 Fang Baihua Army to watch the house, while he and Fang Baihua led the remaining Tiger Ben Army and Fang Baihua Army to check on those Zhuangzi that had not yet been defeated......
