As a famous general, Wang Jian tried his best to strengthen his strength before the second round of martial arts exercises began.

First of all, the number of crossbowmen was massively increased, and the number of crossbowmen even exceeded 1,000 out of 3,000 foot soldiers.

This is still in the case that the number of sergeants on the side of the Liyang camp is not too many, and there are only these crossbowmen.

Secondly, it is to increase the chariots and cavalry, and basically everything that can be called in the large battalion has been called.

In the end, the number of long soldiers such as the long brother and the halberd berberdor was drastically reduced, and they were replaced by shield-wielding short soldiers.

Obviously, these are absolutely targeted.

Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with this, but Li Yunze said with a smile and reassured, "This is a good thing, which shows that these generals are serious and recognize the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry." Operate well and will cavalry alone. Standing up directly under the command of the king, it can constantly dilute and disintegrate the generals' military power, so as to finally achieve the ultimate goal of all the troops belonging to the king. ”

After some preaching, Ying Zheng recognized this statement, and took the initiative to discuss the next rules of military exercises with the generals.

"Taifu."

Zhao Ji, who had a gust of incense on her body, came to Li Yunze and looked at him, "These days, isn't Taifu Mo avoiding me?" ”

"How is that possible?" Li Yunze smiled and spread his hands: "I haven't even been to the mansion sent by the king." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji's face was a little melancholy.

She thought of Lü Buwei, the man who had helped their family so much.

If it weren't for Lu Buwei's support, Ying Yiren wouldn't even have a chance to escape from Handan City back then, let alone Yingzheng.

Zhao Ji is not Wu Meiniang, a strong woman such as Lu Pheasant, she is an ordinary beautiful girl, and when she mentioned her former benefactor Lu Buwei, she was a little sad for a while.

"That's a good thing."

Li Yunze said with relief on the side, "The Queen Mother must know that Lu Xiangdu is so old that he can enjoy the glory and wealth on his back cover, and there is no need to fight openly and secretly in this court, for Lu Xiang, this is a day when no number of people can ask for it." ”

knocked the person down, and Li Yunze no longer called Lu Buwei by his name, but called Lu Xiang.

Zhao Ji really doesn't have any political sensitivity at all, and it is really a good thing to use her own feelings to bring Li Yunze's words into it.

She also thinks that the battle in the court is really too tiresome, and it would be more convenient to be a soil emperor in the fiefdom.

Zhao Ji, who was fooled in a few words, quickly changed the topic.

"If the Taifu is free, he can go to the palace to meet me."

This is the only purpose of Zhao Ji's here, he is not interested in military innovation or anything at all.

What really interested her was the man with a sharp blade in front of her.

Li Yunze smiled like a spring breeze, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

Here, Wang Jian selected the manpower, entered the martial arts arena and began to arrange the military formation.

He placed the shield bearers on the periphery and formed a shield wall, with the crossbowmen and chariot cavalry in the middle of the array, which looked like turtle shells.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunze carefully observed for a while, and then got on his horse and took the cavalrymen who had changed their mounts, and began to circle the long dragon again.

Compared with the previous two or five hundred lords, Wang Jian was obviously more calm, allowing Li Yunze's cavalry to run around the periphery, and had no intention of attacking at all.

"There are more people who are obviously Wang Qian." Ying Zheng, who stared intently at the martial arts arena, asked Yang Duanhe beside him, "Why don't you take the initiative?" ”

Yang Duanhe responded in a low voice, "Great King, although Wang Jian has more people, but his mobility is insufficient, and they can't catch up with the cavalry's horses." And once the pursuit is made, the formation will be destroyed, giving Taifu's side a chance to take advantage of. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at him in surprise, "There are only a thousand Taifu, and it seems that you can win at any time." ”

Yang Duanhe smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain.

Zhang Tang here explained, "King, this is a martial arts arena, and the scope is so big. Wang Jian seeks stability, as long as he stabilizes the formation, at least he will not lose. Although there were only a thousand people in Taifu's place, they were able to attack and retreat before Wang Qian's support arrived, so they could only focus on stability. ”

Ying Zheng, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, nodded, "I never thought that the cavalry was actually as strong as this." ”

The generals around them smiled bitterly, they didn't expect that the cavalry with upgraded equipment and training would increase their combat effectiveness so quickly.

On the martial arts field, after going around Wang Qian's military formation for a few times, the offensive finally began.

As the standard-bearers continued to wave the flags in their hands, the trumpeters also blew their military trumpets, and the cavalry that had previously formed a long snake formation quickly dispersed to form a very loose fish-scale formation.

Under the leadership of Li Yunze, with a team of 100 people as a unit, they broke into a range of 100 steps and threw crossbow arrows into the military formation.

Riding a bow is useless at this time, and a riding bow that is too far away and lying on its stomach is not lethal at all.

Wang Jian also quickly counterattacked, and pieces of crossbow arrows roared and rained down.

The crossbowmen fought back with great force, but the results were not great.

The main reason is that the cavalry moves fast, plus the formation is very scattered, and only a few dozen cavalry are judged to be out of the battle.

After the crossbowmen in the infantry formation shot, Li Yunze suddenly changed formation here, and the previously scattered cavalry quickly gathered and quickly rushed to within thirty steps of the military formation.

At this distance, the lethality of the riding bow comes up.

'Buzz~~~' sound, a large number of sharp arrows crossed the shield wall formed by the shield soldiers and landed in the military formation, and many crossbowmen who were busy reloading had white spots on their bodies.

The cavalry was a hundred-man team and constantly fired arrows around the military formation.

And before the crossbowmen could finish reloading, they took off their saddles, axes, etc., and threw them into the phalanx.

Of course, these are also wooden, wrapped in white cloth and covered with flour.

Before the remaining crossbowmen in the infantry phalanx finished reloading, the cavalry retreated two hundred paces away, slowing down their horses and calmly reloading their crossbows.

"It's going to be bad." Yang Duanhe screamed softly.

Ying Zheng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Wang Jian may have to lose." Yang Duanhe, who frowned, exclaimed, "I never thought that the cavalry trained by Taifu would be so elite. ”

"Not bad." Zhang Tang followed and said, "Gathering and scattering is like the wind, and the order is forbidden." A few more times, Wang Qian's crossbowmen will be completely lost. ”

Ying Zheng was slightly puzzled: "Why don't you attack?" There are so many of his people. ”

"The King."

Zhang Tang smiled bitterly: "The cavalry trained by Taifu is skilled in skills and tactics, and his command is as good as an arm. Wang Qian's crossbowmen and foot soldiers can't catch up unless they release cavalry and chariots."

As soon as the words fell, I saw the infantry army formation on the martial arts arena, and the soldiers with shields on the periphery scattered to give up their positions, and a large number of chariots and cavalry roared out and went straight to Li Yunze.

Obviously, Zhang Tang and the others can see the situation, and Wang Jian can naturally see it.

Let Li Yunze attack like this twice, and his army will have to collapse.

"It's finally out."

Seeing Wang Jian take the initiative to attack, Li Yunze was not only not surprised, but laughed.

What he used before was the harassment tactics commonly used by the northern nomadic tribes such as the Huns in later generations, and it can also be said to be a strengthened and upgraded version of the harassment tactics.

This tactic is very effective in the vast grasslands, but here it is much less effective.

The reason is very simple, after all, this is just a martial arts arena, and here is just a martial arts exercise after all.

He didn't have a few days or even a dozen days to drag down the enemy army.

Relying solely on mounted archery, it may be possible to defeat Wang Qian's crossbowmen, but it is of little use against those shield-wielding foot soldiers.

Wang Jian also understands this truth, and knows that dragging it out is a tie.

But his own 3,000 men and horses were forced to draw by 1,000 cavalry, which is unacceptable.

Moreover, the purpose of this exercise was to test the combat effectiveness of the new cavalry, so he did not hesitate to send cavalry and chariots.

Regarding Wang Qian's cavalry, Li Yunze didn't care.

The willingness is very simple, Wang Jian only has less than 200 horsemen, and he is also a cavalry that has not upgraded equipment and updated skills and tactics.

What really interested him was the dozens of tanks.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the chariot was the protagonist on the battlefield.

In the Warring States period, the status of chariots declined, but they were still an important existence.

Even in the Han Dynasty, there were still charioteers.

It was not until Wei Qinghuo fell ill and swept the Huns through the use of cavalry that the ancient army of chariots was completely eliminated.

Li Yunze's side quickly responded.

The cavalry of the two hundred-man detachment dispersed and led away Wang Qian's cavalry.

The rest of the cavalry, under the leadership of Li Yunze, launched a face-to-face battle with the chariot.

It is said to be a competition, but in fact, it still relies on maneuverability to fly kites.

Li Yunze took the tun as a unit and assigned cavalry to deal with a chariot with a tun.

As for how to deal with it, it is not like a foot pawn, using a heavy throwing spear, or a six-meter-long long ge, but the most standard mounted archery.

A chariot is usually dragged by two or four horses, with a driver in the middle, the commander standing with a bow on the left for long-range strikes, and the rider on the left for melee combat with weapons such as spears.

Chariots were expensive and difficult to train, and only nobles could become chariot soldiers during the Spring and Autumn period.

In that era, the chariot was the standard of national strength, and the one with a thousand chariots was the country of a thousand multiplications, and the one with a thousand chariots was the country of ten thousand vehicles!

It stands to reason that this kind of equipment is very perfect, and it has both long-range and close combat.

But when facing the cavalry, especially the archers trained by Li Yunze, the end was very miserable.

A cavalryman with at least dozens of bows towards a chariot, but there was only one archer on the chariot.

The chariots that fought against the archers fell into a rout without any suspense.

I don't know if it was too much grief and anger, or if the driver failed to harness the horse, and a chariot overturned in the middle of the run.

Of the three men in the chariot, one broke his neck, one broke several ribs and punctured his guts, and one broke his leg.

It's just that everyone just glanced at it and skipped it, and it was too common for this kind of thing to happen in martial arts.

"That's why the chariot is becoming less and less popular now."

Yang Duanhe sighed, "The terrain in the martial arts arena is already very flat, but this kind of thing still happens." ”

In order for a vehicle to show its strength, a flat battlefield is a must.

But now is no longer the time when the two sides agree on a time and place to fight, where will there be such good conditions!

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Wang Qian's military formation.

He wants to see how Wang Qian, who originally had an advantage in numbers, can deal with it now.
