Chapter 189: Suppression like a local tyrant

Looking at the relatively tacit cooperation of Wang Jun's army, Zhou Ping's response was a calm and unhurried order.

He dispatched Liu Ming and his war department to the left flank, Ge Xin and his war department to the right flank, and he was responsible for facing the enemy army head-on.

As for Liu Tai, to be honest, Zhou Ping didn't want to use Liu Tai.

Because when Liu Tai began to charge, it meant that the battlefield situation was out of control in his own hands, and Liu Tai needed to move the tactics of the situation recklessly to create possibilities in the impossible.

After years of experience, Zhou Ping understood that if he wanted his command and dispatch to be effective, it was very important to maintain his connection with the army and form a certain degree of isolation from the enemy.

This is also why Zhou Ping firmly remembered his proposal when he saw Liu Tai's proposal to add shields and spears to form a simple rejection of horses, and arranged for soldiers to master this skill.

Because with this distance isolation, at least the situation will not become a bad war, and in the case of a bad war, no command can be directed, at least Zhou Ping can't do it!

At this moment, in the face of Wang Jun's phalanx in front, his army simply speared and stabbed with special rejecting horses to block the attack.

Unless a famous soldier rushed over and pushed one big shield after another, it would not be easy for them to break through this seemingly simple military formation.

In fact, it didn't make Wang Jun wait long, and the first legion appeared in front of him.

I have to say that Wang Jun still understands military affairs, and knows that the first legion to take the lead must arm it as much as possible, so that they can complete the task of breaking the formation to the greatest extent.

At this moment, the soldiers of this first phalanx were dressed in leather armor, wearing hoods, holding shields in one hand and knives in the other, and crushed the Zhou Ping army formation with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

Soon, they were like a torrent that slammed into the defense system built by Zhou Ping.

They either brandished machetes and wanted to cut off the protruding spikes on the shields, or some people directly split Huashan with both hands to split the big shield set up by the army, and some wanted to push away the simple rejection of horses with both hands.

Whenever everything is within three feet of this rejection horse, the soldier who is completely covered by the big shield and has prepared with a short blade will directly copy the soldiers' next three ways to attack, regardless of whether it is indecent or not, it is said that it is effective or not.

They usually hold this big shield in two hands, and when they need to defend, they set up the big shield themselves, and they hold a short blade, using this big shield as a cover, which is specially used for sneak attacks on the next three roads.

Followed by the soldiers holding the wolf whisk, most of the wolf whisks in their hands are made of bamboo, even if the bamboo leaves on the original are gone, it doesn't matter, anyway, they will definitely be usable.

At the same time, because Liu Tai may be able to borrow some copied paper from the military history, he can tear the paper into strips and glue it during the battle, and use it like a mourning stick.

The main role of these wolf stalks is defense, not only to cooperate with the other party's tricks, but also to reduce the fear in the hearts of the soldiers behind, increase the courage in their hearts, and cover the other party with the wolf stalks, and the spearmen behind will be much more calm when they use their guns.

And behind this soldier with a wolf sword, there is a spearman in the main battle, and two spearmen who are responsible for filling in the position and mending the knife.

Their daily basic training is to need 3,000 bayonet guns, the purpose is to be able to completely become muscle memory after going to the battlefield.

And they are also the real lethal people of the entire military formation, and the piercing damage they stab must ensure that one person is stabbed and killed.

Generally, the lancer is armed with a three-meter spear, while the other two spearmen have a spear of only two to two and a half meters.

After that, there is the captain of the entire squad, who needs to keep an eye on the battlefield and give orders to the soldiers.

Or fill in the required positions by yourself to maintain the normal operation of your entire small array.

However, there is also a large number of team commanders who will become archers, complementing the army's composite combat ability from near to far.

To be honest, this entire military formation is actually a variant of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Essentially, it's to use the distance of the weapons to cooperate with each other, creating a situation where I can kill you, but you can't attack me.

Liu Tai only put forward the corresponding theory to Zhou Ping, and made the corresponding weapons, and handed over the things he tried to Zhou Ping to perfect one by one.

Although a prototype has been made now, the entire Mandarin Duck Array still needs a lot of things that need to be improved according to local conditions.

For example, Liu Tai once wanted to remove the shield, let the soldiers wear armor forged by hundreds of steel, and integrate into this military formation with a Mo knife as a soldier who integrates attack and defense, but Zhou Ping said that we will wait until we have so many hundred steels first.

However, this kind of military formation is a distance tactic that uses itself to attack the opponent, but the opponent cannot attack its own distance.

So to a certain extent, the Mandarin Duck Formation is a kind of combat military formation for infantry.

If you face the cavalry, whether it is the archers or the assault cavalry, in fact, this kind of military formation is very likely to become a target, and it is difficult to avoid the overall situation, and the first to enter the passivity.

However, one after another legions pushed over by Wang Jun at the moment were infantry, so Zhou Ping chose the Mandarin Duck Formation in the front.

With an offensive and defensive military formation, these infantry tasted the power, and after being stabbed down a few people, no one dared to continue to charge.

As the mandarin duck formations built barriers, Zhou Ping's only formed archer corps did not hesitate.

They would bend their bows and draw their strings to the fullest, and the arrows in their hands were more like hailstones in summer, and at this moment they were throwing them at the back of the square soldiers.

The effect of this was also quite gratifying, and some soldiers no longer continued to move forward, but instinctively retreated.

Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping's calm command, and his face showed a look of satisfaction:

"It looks like Wang Jun's men don't have enough armor to protect the soldiers."

To be honest, although Liu Tai has adapted quite to this era, sometimes, Liu Tai's thinking still looks at this era with a modern eye.

Because Liu Tai's entire army was armored, even if it was leather armor, but at least it was armor, Liu Tai gritted his teeth to make up for the soldiers.

And Liu Tai thinks about others with his own push, and feels that Wang Jun has taken the heritage of the Western Jin Dynasty in Youzhou no matter what he says, so the armor rate of Wang Jun's corporal is not thirty percent, at least fifty percent.

But in fact, the soldiers of the first phalanx at the beginning were needed to be the pioneers, so there were about a thousand of them in armor.

That's right, even if there are only about a thousand soldiers in the first phalanx, not all of them.

This is the biggest difference between Liu Tai and Wang Jun's army, or this is where Liu Tai is different from all the generals of the era.

Because those generals, except for their own absolute henchmen of about 3,000 men, do not regard them as human beings to the vast majority of ordinary soldiers.

I still want to prepare armor for them myself, even if it's leather armor, I'm afraid it's not that I'm crazy.

But Liu Tai is different, every soldier who joins the army, Liu Tai prepares armor for them as much as possible.

And if you compare the armor on the elite's body, except for the hundred steels, the armor of the other soldiers is really not outstanding.

If you compare the elite equipment of the Red Blood Cavalry, the Wang Family Guards or Wang Jun's headquarters, the equipment on these people is actually not inferior to the equipment of Liu Tai, Liu Ming, Ge Xin and others.

But when this standard is put on ordinary soldiers, Liu Tai will find that the equipment of his soldiers is more than one level better than that of the other party, and it is very good that the other party's low-level soldiers can get weapons, and they still want equipment, which is not a dream.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhou Ping's special archer unit was shooting, several phalanxes under Wang Jun's command could barely maintain except for the first phalanx, and the soldiers of the other phalanxes were crying wolves even though they were not the whole piece of the whole area.

Some soldiers even planned to turn around and escape, and then were directly cut off by the inspector!

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wang Jun did not hesitate, he directly attacked one phalanx after another in an orderly manner, and attacked the different directions of Liu Tai's army.

To be honest, Wang Jun really didn't believe that Liu Tai's army was impregnable, so he didn't have any weaknesses to expose to himself.

At the same time, Wang Jun's eyes looked at the cavalry on both wings, to be honest, as the front of Liu Tai's army was pulled by himself, he now needed this cavalry very much, and directly chiseled through Liu Tai's army.

Wang Jun knows very well that he doesn't want to look at Liu Tai's army as if it were a turtle shell, but as long as such a turtle shell is chiseled, then Liu Tai's entire army will let itself get what it wants!

After receiving Wang Jun's order, Qi Hong couldn't help but look solemn, because fighting against Liu Tai's army, Qi Hong clearly felt the growth of Liu Tai's army.

At the beginning, he could almost easily play Liu Tai's army, but at this moment, the army on the flank was quite restrained by his own cavalry.

In addition to the simple rejection horses used for the position, and these rejection horses are different from the frontal rejection horses, these big shields are perforated, but they clearly see the chains connecting the pieces of rejection horses.

Obviously, the flanks were designed to defend against cavalry, and even more lethal were the soldiers on both flanks, all replaced by crossbowmen.

As long as their troops have the intention of cutting through the flanks, the bow and crossbow on the improvised shield will shoot at any time.

To be honest, if it was only a strong crossbowman, Qi Hong would not be afraid, but the problem was that because the big shield covered his vision, Qi Hong couldn't judge how many means the other party had arranged for him behind this big shield.

The only thing he can be sure of is that if he attacks from the flanks regardless of it, he doesn't know how much damage he can cause, but what he can be sure of is that his newly completed red blood cavalry will be damaged a lot.

Therefore, whether it is Qi Hong or Wang Ming, if they disregard the command of their cavalry to intersperse, then they will definitely be able to succeed, but looking at Liu Tai's prepared arrangement, they naturally did not crash in recklessly, but chose to wander on the flank, looking for a suitable time to cut in.

And this is the absolute advantage of the cavalry, they have the absolute initiative on the battlefield, can be completely patient and wait for the right time, and have countless opportunities to try.

As long as he feels dangerous, he can evacuate at any time, and then flee to a relatively safe place, just silently watching the soldiers of Liu Tai's army concentrate on defending themselves.

After all, the cavalry's advance speed is really fast, if you are negligent, maybe the other party will rush in front of you!

"County Prince, although our army is small in number, it is better for our army to come forward and involve an enemy cavalry!"

At this time, Duan Shujun looked at the situation in front of him, but he came to Liu Tai and couldn't help but speak.

To be honest, although the situation between the two sides can be maintained in a short period of time at this time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves.

The two cavalry, which can almost be regarded as the top, are eyeing at the moment, while Wang Jun is standing with many generals and constantly sending his own army to fight against Liu Tai's army.

Although the morale and fighting spirit of Wang Jun's army were not high, Wang Jun always sent an army to take the initiative to attack after a while, which not only gave his soldiers enough confidence to continue fighting, but also increased the pressure on the front-line soldiers.

Relying on the Mandarin Duck Formation, you can hold the first wave and the second wave, but it is impossible to hold the twentieth and thirtieth waves.

After all, the soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Formation are also people, and they can stalemate now, because Wang Jun in front is not familiar with the tactics of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

But as Wang Jun gradually figured out the tactics of the Mandarin Duck Array, it was difficult to immediately take out the military formation to overcome, but not to mention, using long-handled heavy weapons to directly hammer these rudimentary shields to resist horses, these can basically be hammered off.

Therefore, many tactics are not impossible to deal with, but the way Wang Jun chose at this moment is to choose to use his numerical advantage in the number of soldiers and generals to carry out hard attrition.

Because in Wang Jun's opinion, this is the safest way.

This kind of war continues to continue, the time continues to lengthen, to be honest, even if Liu Tai's army is the elite, but after an hour or so, everyone has been sweating in this winter.

But for Wang Jun, it was only an hour, and he only smashed into the eight phalanxes of about 40,000 soldiers.

At this moment, Wang Jun could not do anything to the army that had been dispatched.

But Wang Jun is the commander of the type of card, all he needs is that there is turmoil on the front there, and he will directly smash a phalanx there.

You don't care how much fighting spirit the soldiers in here still have, or whether they want to escape, all in all, when you see new reinforcements coming, as long as people are there new fighting spirits.

This is the relaxed freehand of Wang Jun's command at this moment, and in contrast, Zhou Ping is somewhat of a snail shell to build a dojo.

With the help of the Mandarin Duck Array, he kept a distance from Wang Jun's army, so that he could still command the whole army smoothly, unlike after a bad battle, even if he wanted to dispatch soldiers to give orders, he couldn't do it at all.

But this kind of command, when encountering turmoil on the front, Wang Jun, the commander of the local tyrant class who directly dispatched a phalanx of troops to the top, and Zhou Ping was also a little big.

After all, his own army as a whole is operating, but the opponent's army is preparing to attack on the side, which makes the overall physical strength of his troops very depleted.

After all, fighting on the battlefield is itself a very physically demanding thing, even if you try to maintain the morale of the front-line soldiers as much as possible through command and dispatch, but there is a limit to this after all.

Although the current army can still support it, how long can it last, and I don't have enough confidence, after all, I haven't experienced much in such a continuous stalemate war.

Zhou Ping looked at Liu Tai without confidence, at this moment Liu Tai was calm and calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart.

At this moment, the mechanical unit came over and reported: "Qiyu County Prince, General, we have assembled the ballista platform and the ballista car, and we are ready to shoot at any time!" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Tai took a deep breath and smiled at Zhou Ping, "It seems that we can fight back!" ”

Zhou Ping nodded fiercely, in order to wait for this entire tactical system, Lao Tzu has endured it for too long.

Wang Jun, there are a lot of people, Lao Tzu wants to tell you, what is the change of the times!
