Chapter 34: The Hosts Are One
Second, Chen Wang did not say.
After everyone digested it for a while, they brought up the market commentary, which eased the dull atmosphere a little.
"You've all heard some commentary."
"Those heroes and heroes should have heard a lot of things about fighting and killing."
"Everyone should have experienced these things like fighting."
In this era, it was not uncommon for large-scale armed fights broke out between several villages and clans for things such as fighting for water and land.
"So some people think it's the same with war."
Chen Wang clenched the spear in his hand slightly and looked around.
"But the real battlefield is 10,000 times more terrifying and 10,000 times more cruel than the neighbor fight."
Chen Wang's voice was cold, which made the originally slightly relaxed atmosphere in the field instantly become dull again.
"Battlefield fighting is completely different from martial arts competitions, capturing thieves, and fighting in the countryside!"
Chen Wang clenched the spear in his hand and raised it flat.
"Open a big formation, against the great enemy."
At the sound of Chen Wang's voice, the twelve old soldiers were almost at the same time, they carried their spears on their shoulders, and slowly moved forward, like a wall.
Chen Wang aimed the spear in his hand at the old pawn of the team in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"Array!"
At the moment when the military order was issued, the twelve old soldiers who received the military order instantly put down the spears in their hands.
The soldiers in the first row raised their spears straight, and the spears in the second row protruded through the gaps in the first row.
Chen Wang held a spear in his hand, looked around at everyone, and pointed to the gun array in front of him.
"If someone can break through the gun formation head-on, a reward of 100 taels of silver!"
Chen Wang's words fell into the crowd, and they were instantly shocked.
"One Hundred and Two ?!!"
Some people exclaimed, a hundred taels of silver, these people have never seen what a hundred taels of silver looks like in their lives.
Their salary is only one and a half taels a month, and if they want to save a hundred taels of silver, they have to save until the year of the monkey.
There was an inevitable commotion in the crowd, and there was a buzz of people all around, and this time no officer had any more batons to punish them.
However, although the reward was a lot, he did not stand up, after all, how could one person win against twelve people.
"It's hard for one person to win against twelve people, I know very well, so the participants are also divided into teams, and one hundred taels of silver are divided among twelve people."
Chen Wang's words made the eyes of the recruits eager again, and also ignited some hope.
Twelve people against twelve people, as long as they can break through the array, there is no chance.
The conditions changed, and the temptation of one hundred taels of silver was too great, and the quota of twelve people was already filled in a short instant.
Twelve recruits stood in the center of the school yard, each with a spear with a white cloth wrapped in its head, far away from the array of veterans.
Chen Wang also retreated to the sidelines, handing over the field to the soldiers who were about to clash, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the field.
Zhou Changshou held the spear in his hand, wearing protective armor, he could now hear his heart pounding, he had never been watched by so many people at the same time, and the huge pressure was piling up in his heart.
Not far in front of him, twelve people lined up, and the formation of twelve spears was like a hedgehog.
"How?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
"I said that I can only fight from the front, and it's not good to rush......"
Although everyone signed up and went to the scene, they were all uneasy in their hearts, and everyone did not step forward hastily.
"Twelve of us will rush forward together, and we will definitely be able to rush through."
"I always said that as long as I can break through the military formation, I didn't say that I would defeat them all."
Someone else suggested that everyone came from different teams, and no one had an idea but a plate of loose sand, and now someone took the attention and immediately agreed.
Zhou Changshou wanted to speak, but it was difficult to say anything after being interrupted like this.
He originally wanted to say that it would be better to fight in a military formation like the veterans on the other side, but now that the suggestion made by someone was echoed, he had no idea of saying more.
Zhou Changshou nodded, and at the same time looked at the person who proposed to charge directly.
Most of them didn't know each other, after all, it was only seven days, and it was good to be able to recognize the people of this team, but Zhou Changshou knew the person who proposed at this time.
This man with a messy beard is named Huang Hu, and he is from the same place, and his strength is naturally much larger than that of others, so he is quite famous, and this time he was also selected as the captain.
"I'll rush first, you follow behind, and we'll rush to the middle."
Huang Hu held the spear and shook it, and a layer of white ash fell from the position of the spear head.
The guns were all stained with ash, and if they were shot in the chest and abdomen, they had to leave the field and be treated as if they were killed.
Huang Hu thought of changing one by one, stabbing one person with a spear first, opening a way for the person behind him.
"Don't be afraid, we are wearing armor, and if we are stabbed, we will not be able to die for a while, I will change one, and the people behind us will change one or two and rush away for them."
Huang Hu cheered up the people behind him while talking, and walked towards the front.
Huang Hu carried the team flag on his back, and everyone followed him forward, although there was no formation, but it was also quite imposing.
Seeing that the distance between the two teams was getting closer and closer, all the recruits held their breath, their attention was on the two teams, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.
Fifteen steps, ten steps, eight steps, five steps!
The distance is getting closer and closer, and the distance of five steps is already close to the distance of the confrontation.
"Kill !!"
Huang Hu shouted fiercely, held his spear, and rushed forward first.
Chen Wang, who was standing on the periphery watching the battle, moved his eyes slightly, this recruit surprised him, not because of his courage, but because he only demonstrated it once, and Huang Hu actually learned six points - extremely talented.
"What is the name of this leader, you write it down."
Chen Wang whispered to Tang Shiping on the side, he has courage, talent, and prestige, and with a little training, he can be used as the flag boss.
And just when Chen Wang explained, Huang Hu had already rushed to the front of the military formation.
"Kill !!"
The twelve old soldiers in the center of the school field shouted in unison, and the spears in their hands stabbed towards the yellow tiger that was rushing straight away.
Huang Hu was shocked in his heart, and the stabbing of the spear in his hand subconsciously turned into a sweep.
A spear that pierced straight at him was swept away by him, but before he could smile, a spear on the other side struck like a poisonous snake and stabbed him in the abdomen in an instant.
Huang Hu's face turned pale, he screamed miserably, couldn't help but retreat again and again, couldn't help but cover his abdomen with both hands, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground because of this.
"Kill!"
Huang Hu's defeat did not affect the people who followed him, a hundred taels of silver were close at hand, and everyone was flushed and rushed forward.
But without exception, they all ended up like Huang Hu, all of them were stabbed by spears and fell to the ground in pain.
Zhou Changshou rushed in the middle, leaning on his teammates who blocked the gun in front, he rushed into the gap in the gun forest and stabbed a person with a spear, but soon two spears stabbed him to the ground.
On the school grounds, there were many wails.
Although it is a wooden gun and armor protection, it is still painful to be stabbed by a spear.
The confrontation was over in just a flash of lightning, and only a group of veterans were left standing in the middle of the school field.
Of the twelve veterans, only one had ash on his chest, and the remaining eleven were unscathed.
The recruits around them all looked at the field in a daze, in their thoughts, twelve people fighting twelve people, even if there were veterans on the other side, and they couldn't break into battle, they should be able to defeat at least four or five people.
But the fact is that the twelve people rushed straight away, and the exchange ratio was one to twelve.
Chen Wang's mood was unwavering, and this situation was a sure thing.
This is the role of the military formation, when the soldiers form a military formation, can they exert the greatest combat power.
This is also the reason why thousands of officers and soldiers can chase tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rogue soldiers.
From the first year of Chongzhen to the present, more than eight years have passed, but the Liukou still has not made any progress, and the infantry team is chaotic, all relying on the horse team.
Chen Wang looked around and saw the astonishment in everyone's eyes.
These recruits were farmers before, and although some of them had experience in fighting, they were not miners from Yiwu and Yongkang, and they would fight in formation.
For marching battles, their insights all came from commentaries, and they thought that when fighting, the two armies lined up in formation, and then each fought first, and finally won one side to cover up and leave.
Chen Wang pressed the Yanling knife on his waist and slowly walked to the center of the school field.
At this time, the recruits who fell to the ground were also helped back into the queue.
There are some things that are not as effective as being told 10,000 times and being witnessed with your own eyes.
"On the battlefield, that's how it is."
"The guns poke, the guns poke, the knives cut, the knives return him."
Chen Wang pointed to the military formation of twelve veterans and said loudly.
"Shoulder to shoulder, body to body, hug in together, it is difficult to change hands in the gap left, how can you tolerate moving left and right?!"
"If one person turns back, the public is suspicious, and if one person shifts an inch, the public will be frightened and retreat, how can they tolerate advancing or retreating?!"
Chen Wang looked around at the group of recruits and said in a deep voice.
"I want you to remember a military order, remember it firmly!"
Chen Wang's face was dark, and he said sharply.
"Before the battle against the enemy, the formation has been decided, move back to the back, the ranks are crowded, and the density is uneven, immediately beheaded, and sit in the team captain and team deputy!"
Chen Wang held the Yanling knife on his waist and said coldly.
"You remember."
"What you can rely on on on the battlefield, in addition to the blades in your hands, is the robes around you!"
"In a dignified formation, thousands of people line up to the front, the brave cannot go first, and the cowardly cannot lag behind."
"Although there are ten thousand armies, there is only one person, so that the world can be invincible!"
