Although Zhou Xing doesn't do much homework on military matters, he also knows that the "Mandarin Duck Formation" invented by a famous general in his world is extremely powerful. There are disgusting defensive weapons like wolves, and close-range weapons like rattan cards.
There are powerful defensive weapons, such as spearmen, who are specially responsible for poking people. In Zhou Xing's opinion, this small square formation of more than ten people is simply a perfect configuration. Even if the opponent is a monk, how can you always use sword energy on the battlefield?
The sword energy attacks from a distance, and the spiritual power is not a big deal, so it is not useful. Besides, even if a wealthy family does not lack spiritual valleys, spiritual fruits, etc., there are still two rattan players in this team. For a place like Bodao
, there is no shortage of vines and moso bamboo.
According to Zhou Xing's idea, to deal with the monks, it is best to add two more crossbowmen to the team. In this way, there are two wolf swordsmen, two rattan players, four spearmen, two crossbowmen, plus one
There are exactly eleven people in the team leader. Moreover, this kind of small team can fight alone, and it is even more powerful when formed in large groups. It is really the best formation method to defeat the enemy in the cold weapon era in Zhou Xing's mind.
It's just a pity that he can only find people to chop bamboo to make wolf bamboo and vines to make rattan, but he can't find suitable craftsmen to make the legendary repeating crossbow and other sharp weapons. But it doesn't matter, he can use bows and arrows first
The hand is used with the javelin instead.
Not to mention others, even Zhou Xing himself got a headache when he imagined facing such a small formation of eleven people. Although the wolf trap is not fatal, it is really disgusting, affects his vision, and blocks the road.
, and troublesome. But if you don’t break through the wolf trap, and you can’t hit the opponent, you can only be beaten passively. You can’t roll over it, let alone leap. The battlefield is densely packed with people, and whoever flies into the air is a big living target.
, will be killed by concentrated fire from those in the rear who cannot reach the enemy.
This is just like when he used to play games, he was not afraid of the power of the opponent's skills, but he was afraid of the opponent's field control skills.
Unless you are wearing heavy armor and ignoring this kind of wolf to break through.
When encountering this situation, Zhou Xing has already thought of a countermeasure. After all, there are few people with such advanced cultivation and infinite strength as him. It is also difficult for people wearing heavy armor to move. As long as the two wolves in this mandarin duck formation can
Use the length of your hands to control the distance, blocking and retreating at the same time. It takes a moment and a half, and I am afraid that the heavily armored warrior will have to kneel down.
Besides, those tangled branches of Langzhen could prick your eyes accidentally. No matter how much you wear armor, your eyes will not be covered. No matter how deep your cultivation is, your eyes are also soft.
This is the most disgusting thing about wolf whisk. Its branches are many and long, longer than the main trunk. Even if you chop it, it won’t work. If you don’t chop it, it won’t work. This wolf whisk has the longest weapon in its hand, and usually it is used for punching.
He went for the opponent's face and swept away a large area, which really left the opponent with nowhere to display his martial arts. The spearmen, archers, and harpooneers behind took advantage of the opponent's confusion and took advantage of the opportunity to attack. At such a close distance, they could not hit the target.
It's really rare.
In Zhou Xing's view, in the ancient cold weapon era, this wolf's sword was the most disgusting weapon, bar none.
Because it is made of moso bamboo, it is hollow inside, and moso bamboo is hard and strong enough. Your other weapons cannot be longer than it, otherwise the weight will be too heavy. What's more, its twigs can theoretically be heavier than the main trunk.
It's a lot longer, but it's disgusting anyway, and it's not afraid of being hit by you, let alone being blocked by you. Those are soft, and the more you block them, the easier it is to hurt your face. Therefore, it is the best for melee field control.
Weapons are active defense and field control.
When the wolf is pulled out alone, it does no damage and is useless. But when combined with a spear, it shows its unique field control skills.
What's more, it's cheap. It grows all over the mountains and fields. It doesn't cost anything at all. It can be used with a little pruning.
Why practice spear phalanx?
Why make a musket and line up to shoot?
What a joke! When hundreds of people are fighting in a melee, the spear team is useless when it encounters the wolf whip. If you control the field, the spear team will be controlled to death. Armor is useless, and your eyes can't stop the wolf whip from everywhere.
The twigs. In other words, the Yuanyang Formation is based on the Spear Team and adds the field control skills of Langzhen.
Zhou Xing looked at the scene of the 500 people in the field who were divided into more than a dozen teams for training. After the formation of the mandarin duck formation was completed, Zhou Xing swept across the refugees, and he couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile on his face.
Humph, by the time you refugees figure out how to break through my army of wolves, spears and javelins, you will have already been swept away by me.
You bunch of rotten people, I finally arrived in Yizhou and thought I was here to enjoy life, but you are just causing trouble for me. I asked you to go back to your hometown, but I didn’t ask you to die or to build the Great Wall. Why are you rebelling?
What? If I don’t wipe you out, I won’t be able to live a good life today.
"Kill!" With a loud roar, Qiao Feng arched his front legs and kicked his back legs, as if at this moment he wanted to put all the strength in his body, legs, waist and even arms into the bamboo spear about a foot long in his hand.
He went up and stabbed the life-sized straw man in front of him in the chest with all his strength. Big beads of sweat continued to drip from his slightly ferocious face, falling on the dusty ground and quickly disappearing.
Qiao Feng was the first Gou Sheng to speak that day. This name was given to him by Zhou Xing, which really excited him for a long time. Of course, he had no idea what Zhou Xing was thinking when he named him this name.
I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao. My name is really bad, so I can only steal your name.
Of course, when Zhou Xing stole names, he didn't just steal Qiao Feng's name. He used them all like Xu Zhu, Duan Yu, etc. When it came to giving Qiao Feng's name to Gou Sheng, Zhou Xing felt a little guilty.
, as if he had become a thief, fearing that someone would rush out from the crowd and shout, "Look, look, that person is a thief." But when he named the second commoner who had not been named in the entire family since ancient times, Xu Zhu,
He was no longer so guilty. When he reached Duan Yu, he even began to feel smug. The remaining ones were Zhang Wuji, Song Qingshu, Guo Jing, Yang Kang, Wei Xiaobao, etc. He got more and more energetic, and in the end he even got up from the front, and from the back
I forgot what this person's name was. Of course, Gou Sheng's name was Qiao Feng, he would never forget it.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought of such a group of heroes with "superior martial arts skills" in his team.
How can the things done by scholars be called stealing?
Qiao Feng is very smart and very hardworking.
When Zhou Xing asked them to stand up in line for the first time and asked them to look left and right like monkeys, he was nervous and shy. It was as if he had become a monkey being watched, being pointed at and followed.
With this strong sense of shyness, he became more and more nervous. He would often look face to face with someone in the same team, and then both sides would stare at each other, thinking that they had turned in the wrong direction, and then quickly turn in the opposite direction. Ever since
, the two of them went from face to face to butt to butt.
But he slowly discovered that he was the fastest to understand what Zhou Xing said about standing at attention, looking left and right, walking in unison, turning left and right, etc.
Then, he saw the man named Gongsun Shu who could read and write his name on a white stone with charcoal, and drew a five-pointed star on the back.
He was the first person to receive a five-pointed star.
After he got the five-pointed star, he heard Zhou Xing loudly say to them that if you get a five-pointed star, you will get five copper bahts as a reward.
At that moment, he lost all the nervousness and shyness of being watched and pointed out by everyone, and was replaced by excitement and expectation. He was extremely eager to get the second five-pointed star.
Soon, after he mastered these simple movements, he was assigned by Zhou Xing as an instructor to train those who had not yet mastered it. He was the first instructor to teach twenty people, so after his name,
Added another five-pointed star.
Now, he is practicing assassination with great concentration, although he does not know what use this simple action can have. He only knows that as long as he can get the top ten in the competition two days later, there will be another one after his name.
A five-pointed star.
Those five copper bahts could no longer make him so excited. But for him, who had never been looked up to by so many people in his life, this feeling really made him want to stop. He absolutely couldn't stand other people using the skill of assassination.
He got the five-pointed star, but he didn't get it.
"My name was given to me by the Lord for the first time. I was the first to receive a five-pointed star. I am the first instructor. I will always be the first!"
"Little sister, this is a straight thrust, what do you think?" Two people in brocade robes were standing under a big tree about ten feet away from Qiao Feng. One was a man who looked about three years old.
The man of about ten years old, wearing a green brocade robe, turned out to be a sixth-grade monk! And standing next to him was a petite woman who looked about 2829 years old, with big eyes and willow eyebrows.
Very pleasant.
"Tch," the woman said with disdain when her brother next to her asked her: "What can civilians do to train? To deal with this direct thrust, you only need to block and then move forward. This person can only throw away
With a spear in hand, there is nothing you can do."
"What if several people stabbed you at the same time like him?" The man in his thirties continued to ask with a smile.
"Humph, you are not afraid even if there are many people. Use a big shield to block them. With the strength of these civilians, you are lucky if they are not taken down."
"If this method were used by monks, with several people forming a team and shooting out guns in succession, it would be very sharp on the battlefield." The man heard his sister's words and did not say anything, but he nodded secretly in his heart, "This guy
Marquis Daoting seems to have some skills."
This man is called Gongsun Sheng, and the woman next to him is his youngest sister, named Gongsun Yan. As for Gongsun Shu, who was responsible for recording and writing during the march of Zhou, he is also from their Gongsun family. Although he does not have the same father as them, he is the same person.
Grandpa. However, because Gongsun Shu has no spiritual veins and cannot cultivate truly, his status in the family is very low.
An ancestor of their Gongsun family established a kingdom in Shu in the late Shang Dynasty, but was later destroyed by generals sent by Emperor Guangwu of the Later Shang Dynasty. Their branch was first exiled to Ningzhou, and then in the late Shang Dynasty, a member of his family
The ancestor was recommended as the county magistrate of Bodao, and then he settled in Shu again.
In Bodao County, in terms of family strength, the Gongsun family is the strongest. There are eighteen monks in the family, and the one with the highest cultivation level is Gongsun Sheng and Gongsun Yan's grandfather, named Gongsun Fan, who is a fourth-grade
Blue-robed monk. When Zhao Min was the governor of Yizhou, he enlisted Gongsun Fan's son Gongsun You to do his job. After Zhao Min's rebellion was put down by the refugees, Gongsun You did not do it again like many of Zhao Min's subordinates.
Luo Shang resigned from everyone's efforts to persuade him to stay and returned to his hometown of Bodao.
That day, when Zhou Xing rode alone to kill the rebels and rescued Wang Zhan and others, Gongsun You happened to be among the rebels. The skills displayed by Zhou Xing completely shocked Gongsun You! After so many years of his experience,
Over the years, he has never seen such a tyrannical person. But he did not expect that Zhou Xing would be sealed in Bodao. For this reason, he often secretly rejoiced that when he besieged Wang Zhan and others, not only did he
Instead of trying their best, they tacitly agreed with many people to work without putting in any effort. Otherwise, Wang Zhan and others would have been captured by them long ago.
After Wang Zhan came to Wuyang and took office, he came to apologize as soon as possible. Wang Zhan openly stated that everyone was his own boss at that time, and he would not care about the past grudges, and offered to hire him to do his own work. Gongsun waited for him.
Because of his sinful nature, he declined Wang Zhan's invitation.
Among the family members, Gongsun Fan's favorite is his grandson Gongsun Sheng. He believes that Gongsun Sheng's future achievements will exceed that of a fourth-grade monk like him. Gongsun Sheng lives up to his reputation as a genius. He was already a genius in his early twenties.
The sixth-grade green-robed monk has become more spiritual in his cultivation in the past few years, and he is about to make a breakthrough and advance to the fifth-grade brown-robed monk.
As for Gongsun Shu, his grandson, Gongsun Fan didn't care at all. His family has flourished since him. He has seven sons, and there are thirty-five grandsons alone. A person with no spiritual veins like Gongsun Shu, in the
In Gongsun Fan's eyes, although it can't be said to be dispensable, he selectively ignored it.
But that day, after Zhou Xing announced the conscription policies in Bodao, his grandson, who had long been ignored, actually ran to sign up to join Zhou Xing's team.
This made many people in the family furious!
The Gongsun family is not within the fiefdom of Bodao Hou Kingdom, and the Gongsun family does not lack the pitiful monthly salary of ten copper bahts.
Even if Gongsun Shu is just a civilian, even if his status within the family is dispensable, the Gongsun family, which has been an official for generations, cannot afford to lose this person.
Of course, not everyone in the Gongsun family was furious about this.
Gongsun Fan did not.
Neither did Gongsun Sheng.
In Gongsun Fan's more than sixty years, he has seen too many things.
When he was seven years old, Zhong Ai, the general of the Zhou Dynasty, led an army to attack the city of cd in one fell swoop. The Lord of Shu merchants opened the door and surrendered. Then Zhong Ai saw that the land of Shu was dangerous and he had 200,000 elite soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty in his hands, so he thought
They wanted to separate the Shu territory. But in the blink of an eye, those elite soldiers raised their own troops and killed Zhong Ai.
Just like Zhao Min at that time. But Zhao Min was killed by the refugees.
In Gongsun Fan's view, Zhong Ai was indeed greedy for profit when he wanted to separate Shu. However, it was not impossible for Zhao Min to want to separate Shu.
