Chapter 736: Martial Arts (Part II)
Among the four famous generals, Bai Qi's aggressiveness is undoubtedly the strongest.
The name of killing the god is not called in vain, and the countries of Kanto are terrified.
Li Mu is also very aggressive, but unfortunately he came out too late and didn't have many opportunities to show his ability.
Lian Po and Wang Jian seem to be evenly matched, as if they pay more attention to defense, but in fact they are also attacking players.
Especially Wang Qian, when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he destroyed the third alone!
Wang Jian is also very aggressive, but he knows how to change more and can defend well when he needs to defend.
It's like now.
On the martial arts field, Wang Qian's previous 3,000 soldiers and horses have shrunk by nearly half.
If it were on a real battlefield, with such a level of casualties, the army would have collapsed long ago.
It is at this time that he is on the martial arts arena in order to continue to organize manpower to fight.
With the collapse of the chariots and cavalry, Wang Qian, who was sinking into the water, knew that he had no ability to attack.
The remaining crossbowmen and shield bearers around him could not catch up with Li Yunze's cavalry on two legs.
It stands to reason that this is the time to admit defeat.
But Wang Jian did not admit defeat, but continued to mobilize the remaining soldiers, rebuild the military formation and continue to fight.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng showed displeasure on his face, "It's all like this, why don't you admit defeat?" This Wang Jian is too good-looking. ”
The faces of the generals around him were different, and some of them really knew how to speak, but in the end they still didn't say it.
The competition between the generals is also very fierce, especially the competition for the commander of the army when leading the troops into battle, which can be called fierce to the extent of cruelty.
As for Wang Ben, although he wanted to defend his father, he was too young and inexperienced, and he didn't have much vision and ability in this area, so he didn't know what to say in a hurry.
In history, Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, together destroyed the Five Kingdoms, but in fact, the real bitter battles were fought by Wang Qian.
Wang Ben is more of a soft persimmon that is stained and pinched.
His actual ability is far inferior to his father's.
Now it's even more of a small hairy head, of course, I don't understand the twists and turns inside.
Knowledgeable people know that the reason why Wang Jian did not admit defeat at this time was not because he wanted to die because he valued his own face, but actually to continue to test the combat effectiveness of the innovative cavalry in all aspects.
This can be seen from Wang Jian arranging for the shield bearers to form a shield wall array.
Wang Jian wanted to learn how the archers broke through the shield wall array.
How to break through the formation of long soldiers such as the long brother and the halberd, I have seen it before, and the archers are around and release arrows.
The main reason is that the armor rate in this era is not high.
For example, iron armor, bronze armor, and even rhinoceros skin armor, which is becoming more and more rare, are only qualified to be worn by officer ranks.
Ordinary soldiers can only be equipped with leather armor, and the number of leather armor equipped is not high.
What's more, there is almost no such full-coverage armor in various countries, and all parts of the body are exposed from head to toe.
With a long soldier, the archers will go around and release arrows, even if they only hit the arms and legs, and they will be enough to lose their combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
It is indeed effective to form a spear formation with long soldiers to block the cavalry.
But only if you have enough protection against the bow and arrows.
The Mo sword soldiers dared to face the cavalry to cut, that is, they were all in iron armor, and they were not afraid of long-range shooting with bows and arrows.
Li Yunze can naturally see it and understand Wang Qian's thoughts.
He hesitated slightly, after all, this was just a martial arts, and once he really launched a cavalry charge, it would inevitably cause casualties.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about the casualties on the battlefield, but the casualties during the military exercise are too large.
Thinking of this, he rode to the president Guan Huan Qi and informed him of his thoughts.
Hearing Li Yunze's words, Huan Qi looked at him in surprise.
In the eyes of the generals of this era, the soldiers are consumables that can be consumed at any time.
Performing martial arts in front of the king, that is an opportunity that cannot be begged for, who will care about the loss of soldiers?
But this lady in front of me. Isn't it the reincarnation of the Virgin?
Huan Qi responded with a dry laugh, "Taifu, in fact, I want you all to change into real soldiers." ”
Before today, Huan Qi's attitude towards this Taifu was to simply ignore it.
And at this moment, Huan Qi is trying to squeeze out a smile.
As for the reason, here in the martial Daqin, if you can fight, that is the ability, and if you have the ability, you will naturally gain respect!
Li Yunze didn't say anything more, he looked at Huan Qi deeply, and then turned his horse's head and returned to the queue.
If it were to be said that the cavalry with archers was to charge the pike, no cavalry commander would do such a thing unless it was a matter of life and death.
But Wang Jian saw the fragility of the long soldiers under the rain of arrows during the first round of martial arts, so he changed the long soldiers to shield soldiers, which gave him a chance.
It is naturally no problem to resist the rain of arrows with shields, and it is completely possible to resist cavalry with other troops.
But at this time, there was only a sparse group of crossbowmen behind them, and there was no strength left to cooperate.
Li Yunze took the cavalry team that had changed horses again and began to run again.
They were not fast, and circled around the shield-wielding man a few times.
Then, with the sudden and rapid sound of the trumpet, the speed of the cavalry began to increase suddenly.
They pulled out a loose array of fish scales and quickly circled around Wang Qian's department, while constantly approaching inward.
When he was at a distance, he shot at the military formation with the crossbow he carried.
When you get closer, retract your crossbow and pick up your bow to shoot.
The remaining crossbowmen around Wang Jian put up a desperate resistance.
But their formation was squeezed too small, too compact.
Rounds of arrows rained down, and there were always people who were hit by arrows and left flour-stained dots on their bodies, and they were judged dead.
On the cavalry side, with high-speed movement and loose queues, in the face of counterattack crossbows that took a long time to come to one, the casualties and losses were negligible.
"It looks like we need to increase the number of archers."
In the military array, Wang Qian, who was guarding with shields for a group of personal soldiers around him, carefully looked at everything around him, "The shield soldiers should cooperate with the long soldiers, and it is best to have more chariots and cavalry."
As he spoke, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.
If it is really fully equipped, it must have at least 5,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of 1,000 cavalry.
Terrain is very important, when encountering a large group of cavalry, you can choose the terrain that is not suitable for the cavalry to move. It's just that if it's surrounded."
Wang Qian, who was in the military formation, had already begun to make a post-war summary.
He had already seen and felt the powerful combat effectiveness of the renovated cavalry.
As the crossbowmen gradually lost the power to fight back, the cavalry, which was getting closer to the formation, devoted their main energies to the shield men who lined up on all sides.
The shieldmen leaned together, curling up as much as they could, holding their shields against the endless rain of arrows.
Someone who is unlucky enough to be shot in a body with his shield exposed, usually screams.
This is not to cooperate with the acting, but although there is no metal arrow, if the speed is fast enough, it will still hurt and cause severe pain when it hits the body.
Li Yunze, who was riding a horse around, kept his eyes on the military formation that had been squeezed up.
After a while, he raised his saber to signal to everyone around him, and soon the nearby hundred-man team gradually transformed from the fish scale array to Li Yunze's side, forming a cluster.
Even Li Yunze, with the existing communication ability, can only drive the people around him, but it is enough at this time.
Wang Qian, who had been carefully observing the battlefield, was keenly aware of the situation near Li Yunze's banner.
But he didn't know what Li Yunze was going to do, so he naturally didn't know how to deal with it.
But he looked very carefully, and only when he saw clearly what Li Yunze was going to do next could he think about how to deal with it.
Then, he saw Li Yunze with the cavalry around him, from a distance of thirty paces outside the military formation, directly turned around and went straight to the military formation.
In the midst of the lightning, the cavalry first threw out a wave of throwing spears and throwing axes
It was supposed to smash a small area out of the shield soldier queue to create a mess, but unfortunately it was all made of wood, and it didn't knock the shield soldier down when it smashed on the shield, and only heard a sound.
Thirty paces of distance is only a blink of an eye for the cavalry on the run.
Li Yunze rode his horse in front, facing the shield soldiers who were crouching on the ground in front of him, dodging behind the shield as much as possible, and directly clamped the horse's belly with his legs and pulled the reins hard.
The war horse under the crotch jumped hard, soared into the air, jumped over the shield wall, and rushed into the military formation.
In fact, it is better to bump directly into it at this time, but Li Yunze doesn't like this kind of senseless loss.
A large number of cavalry immediately followed, rushed into the formation and began to slash in all directions.
There was no doubt that the shield array quickly became chaotic.
Wang Jian personally rushed up with the guards around him, and then saw Li Yunze put away his sword and held a sword. A wooden stick was like a dragon crossing the sea, and all the sergeants who stood in front of him were knocked to the ground, and then rushed all the way in front of him.
As soon as Wang Jian raised his sword here, the wooden stick in Li Yunze's hand over there had already poked directly into his chest.
Under the huge impact, Wang Jian fell directly off the horse.
All around me were horses' hooves, and all I heard was shouting and fighting.
Before Wang Jian stood up, he heard the sound of gold in the distance.
This martial arts exercise is finally over.
The fighting finally stopped, and everyone stood in place, letting their emotions gradually calm down.
With the support of the guards, Wang Jian struggled to stand up.
It was only then that he could see his surroundings clearly.
The army formation formed by the shield soldiers completely collapsed and confused after encountering a breakthrough, and a large number of cavalry rushed in in units of 100 men and slashed and slashed wantonly.
On the real battlefield, this military formation is basically dead.
The generals who were watching the battle from a distance also saw this, so they asked Yingzheng to order the end of the exercise.
Holding his chest, Wang Qian, who was depressed and unbearable, came to Li Yunze and saluted, "Please teach the method of practice to the soldiers of Daqin!" ”
In Wang Qian's view, the biggest reason why the cavalry's combat effectiveness is so strong is Li Yunze's effective training.
Li Yunze, on horseback, condescendingly looked down at Wang Qian, a famous general who was famous in the history books.
He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes were like electricity, "Then what do you think I'm doing here in Daqin!" ”
