The old man sent a letter of challenge to the Chen family of Beishan Village. Naturally, the Beishan Chen family laughed at her, but she still accepted the challenge.
Fuguang weapon fighting is not only a violent fight, but also a customary way of resolving disputes between clans.
This method can be said to be cruel and barbaric, but it is also a rule.
At this time, the fighting between Fu and Guang had not yet reached the level of endless fighting in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The basic principle was that no one was killed.
When a life-and-death lawsuit occurs, what you pay is not a one-two-two-two fine for fighting with a weapon.
The county government officials have secret sentries in each village. If a fight breaks out, the government officials will stand by and watch the fight.
If there is a life-threatening lawsuit, the officials will immediately take advantage of the situation and have the person who committed the crime taken away.
Once you enter the county jail, there will be exploitation everywhere, and you will have to shed a layer of your skin even if you don't die.
So nowadays, fighting is more like a public fight, or a gambling fight to solve problems.
Chang Ning Wei issued the battle invitation, but Chen Shi accepted it happily. If one side wins this formal fighting, the losing side will have to give up Lutian.
Other villages will also be frightened, weigh their own weight, and will not compete with the Chen family of Beishan Village for this piece of reed field for the time being.
On the Changning Guard side, Su Ze stood in the square in front of the ancestral temple, holding a pile of Qimen weapons and explaining:
"This mandarin duck formation is actually not difficult. There are eleven people in the formation. The team leader is responsible for commanding and dispatching the team."
"The squad leader is not only the commander, but also the overall reserve and person-in-charge of the entire formation. If one person retreats on the battlefield, one person will be punished. If a team retreats, the squad leader will be punished. Do you understand?"
Everyone agreed, and Su Ze continued:
"The front row is the shield bearer. The original version uses a vine armor shield. Everyone can use a pot lid. They are mainly responsible for blocking long weapons and hidden weapons on the opposite side."
Su Ze demonstrated it with a pot lid, and then picked up a strange long weapon.
This weapon is a unique weapon made by Su Ze and Lin Xianzong. Forked branches are tied to a bamboo pole, making it look like a small tree.
Su Ze waved it in demonstration and said: "This weapon is called the wolf chopper. It is very simple to use. You just need to stab someone. If the enemy comes forward, use the wolf chopper to stab the left and right hand."
Although this weapon is strange, it is also very simple to use. Su Ze asked a tall and strong villager to serve as the wolf sword bearer and stand behind the shield bearer.
Su Ze raised the hoe and harpoon again.
"After the wolf hand subdues the enemy, the spearman goes up to touch up the enemy. The specific action is as follows."
Su Ze demonstrated the swinging and chopping movements. These two movements were very similar to those used for farm work, and the Changning guards quickly mastered them.
Two shield-hands holding pot lids, two wolf-hands holding wolves, three rows of six spearmen holding hoes and harpoons, plus a squad leader who uses slings to attack, and a mandarin duck formation (rural weapon fighting
version), it was brought out by Su Ze.
Su Ze led others to practice, and the little carrots looked interesting. Lin Liangjun also gathered a group of children. He named himself the team leader and led ten children to practice with Su Ze.
The actual Yuanyang Formation is not that simple. Qi Jiguang's original Mandarin Duck Formation also includes bird commanders, and there are targeted variant formations to deal with different enemies.
However, Su Ze's opponents were just a group of gangsters and farmers, so using the Yuanyang Formation was really a bit like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.
After practicing for three days, the Changning guardsmen also had some tacit understanding, and several teams finally marched forward in formation.
Su Ze divided them into two groups and started fighting training. The winner would get more food, while the loser would have their food deducted.
These villagers gave up the crops in the fields to practice here. On the one hand, it was because of the sense of honor of the Weisuo clan, and on the other hand, it was because of the old man's words: "You have enough to eat."
These military remnants rarely have enough to eat on weekdays, so they can train with Su Ze so seriously.
He encouraged them to practice by eating, and this time their ferocity was even more intense. Every day, the square in front of the ancestral temple was filled with shouts of murder.
Lin Liangjun took his friends to practice in front of the ancestral hall square for another day today. When he returned to Baihu Mansion, he found that his sister had returned from school today.
In order to prevent the soldiers from participating in the fight with weapons, Lin Mojun took the soldiers to live in the school grounds after the ancestral hall had a fight with weapons that day.
When he saw his sister, the little carrot head immediately squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said flatteringly:
"Sister, are you back? Have you eaten?"
Lin Mojun did not continue, but asked directly:
"Have you been training in front of the ancestral hall these days?"
Lin Liangjun nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I am practicing Yue Wumu's battle formations with Brother Aze!"
Lin Mojun is the descendant of hundreds of families for generations, and he is also educated. Naturally, he is not as easy to deceive as other Changning Wei people.
She frowned and said, "Every health center in Fujian Province says that they have family military writings. It would be nice to hear what Yue Wumu said in his suicide note."
"Tell me about his method of training you, as well as the mandarin duck formation."
Lin Mojun was in the health center campus these days and heard about Su Ze's troubles.
The Changning Guard also has a battle formation, but the Changning Guard's battle formation is a large formation for marching and fighting, and is of little use in situations such as armed fighting.
When Lin Mojun heard that Su Ze created this mandarin duck formation, Lin Mojun initially thought that it was just a fancy show created by a scholar who read some military books.
But after listening to Lin Liangjun's explanation of the Yuanyang Formation, Lin Mojun fell into thinking.
Does this small formation of eleven seem to be really feasible?
But why doesn’t this formation look like a formation against the Jin cavalry?
Instead, it’s more like a way to deal with Japanese pirates?
Lin Mojun led the guards to fight several battles with Japanese pirates. Among them, the Japanese pirates were best at the tactics of rushing in quickly, which could always cause huge damage to the Ming Dynasty army.
The so-called rapid advance is to suddenly and quickly approach when you are dozens of steps away, and then attack by slashing.
Many Ming troops were in great embarrassment due to the Japanese pirates' tactics, and suffered heavy casualties as a result of being hacked.
Another skill that the Japanese pirates were good at was bow shooting. In today's era, the rations of the guards have become a problem, and the bow and arrow equipment and training are exhausted. The Japanese pirates are good at using bows and archery, often causing damage to the Ming army from a distance.
As for Su Ze's military formation, shield soldiers protect long-range bows, and unique weapons like wolves can prevent Japanese pirates from advancing quickly. Isn't it a tailor-made strategy to deal with Japanese pirates?
Moreover, this combat method uses a small square formation of 11 people. It can be used in small-scale encounters on land and in boarding battles on ships. It is actually a combat method that can be used both by sea and foot.
The more Lin Mojun thought about it, the more he felt that this battle formation was extremely useful.
By the time Lin Liangjun finished speaking, Lin Mojun still felt a little unfinished.
She said solemnly: "Practice hard, maybe you can really defeat the Beishan Chen family. From today on, you have to tell me about Su Ze's training process every day!"
"I understand! Sister, you want to steal people to learn skills!"
Lin Mojun finally couldn't help but said angrily: "That's called learning from a master! If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"
