Chapter 114 I control everything between the phalanxes
The Macedonian Phalanx flourished in the hands of King Philip II of Macedonia and his successor Alexander.
Enemies shudder when they mention the Macedonian Phalanx, because Alexander the Great made the Phalanx a legend.
In Liu Mang's view, the essence of the entire phalanx tactic is that all soldiers work together and advance together.
The Kingdom of Macedonia stipulates that those who escape from battle will be severely punished.
The use of punishment restrained the discipline of soldiers.
Liu Bei's army has strict military discipline, and many people choose to fight with Uncle Liu because they have ideals in mind.
Even if there is no military discipline, they will strictly adhere to the square formation!
Looking from a distance, the monsters lined with spears are constantly advancing, encroaching on the tiger and leopard cavalry formation!
The charge that Cao Jun was best at obviously had no effect. Instead, he used his spears to resist the horses, causing heavy losses to the tiger and leopard cavalry.
It is true that every soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has the strength of a hundred-man general, but they are facing Liu Bei's army in the entire phalanx, not fighting alone!
Based on the disparity in force between the two sides, Liu Mang finally chose to use the Macedonian phalanx to fight the enemy.
"Wenyuan! Gongming! This formation is invincible!"
Xu Chu said worriedly: "Even if the three of you and I join the battle, I'm afraid we will never come back!"
Zhang Liao's broadsword pointed in the direction of Liu Mang, "Could this man be Liu Xuande's son?"
Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! He was the one who burned Baihe and killed General Zilian!"
Xu Huang frowned and said: "Can we rush into the formation and kill the general? Are you and I still afraid that the hedgehog's policy will fail?"
This time, Cao Chun completely changed his view of Liu Beijun!
Zhang Fei is brave and good at fighting, and even the son of the big-eared thief is full of clever tricks.
This type of square formation seems simple, but has strict orders and is the nemesis of the cavalry.
In today's era without stirrups, the phalanx soldiers only need to stab their horses with spears, leaving the tigers and leopards without the courage to ride on them!
However, the soldiers in the phalanx had strict military discipline and did not give the enemy any loopholes.
"Gongming, even if you and I create a gap, the enemy troops will quickly fill up the position."
"It's a pity that we can't kill Liu Bei now, but we can only wait for the prime minister's army to arrive."
"If there are archers, they can definitely defeat this strange formation!"
Zhang Liao observed carefully and came to a conclusion, and then advised everyone not to act rashly.
"Little Liu Mang! I, Xu Zhongkang, will definitely take your head to pay homage to General Zilian!"
"I wanted to keep a distance from you and make peace with you, but I didn't know that what I got in exchange was insults and suspicion."
Liu Mang waved the flag in his hand, played two drums, and the square formation started!
"Tiger idiot, rude people retreat five miles!"
The Macedonian phalanx was in front, and the soldiers were holding spears and pressing forward step by step. Even though Cao Jun had tiger and leopard cavalry, they did not dare to easily attack them and had to retreat slowly!
"Liu Mang! Do you dare to go out and fight me, Xu Gongming?"
"Xu Huang, how old are you for fucking a dog? How old is my eldest nephew? If you want to fight, Zilong and I will fight until the end!"
As soon as Xu Huang opened his mouth, Zhang Fei was annoyed!
You, an adult, bully a child by name, do you really think that his third uncle and fourth uncle are not there?
"One cannot be as shameless as Xu Huang."
Liu Mang waved the command flag again and shouted: "Retreat! Ten miles!"
The Macedonian phalanx continued to approach, and since the establishment of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they defeated Yuan Shao and beheaded Tadun, achieving great military exploits.
Now he was being pressed harder and harder by Liu Mang's strange formation. This feeling made Cao Chun extremely depressed.
"Kill me!"
"No!"
Cao Chun gave an order, and already some tigers and leopards who couldn't bear it rushed towards him.
As a result, he encountered a phalanx lined with spears, and in the end he was pierced into a sieve!
The great teacher once said that as a war between two armies, its military essence and fundamental purpose is to preserve oneself and destroy the enemy.
The Macedonian phalanx mainly focuses on defensive counterattacks and is full of spears. It likes the enemy to take the initiative to run into it.
Zhang Liao's command was correct, but it was a pity that Cao Chun was in command of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
After paying dozens of lives, Cao Chun calmed down again and ordered a retreat of ten miles!
"Young master Liu Mang is really powerful! Was this formation taught by Zhuge Liang?"
Zhang Lioce immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Earlier, the young master threatened to send Jingbei to my prime minister in order to gain wealth!"
"Today Wenyuan guarantees that as long as the young master kills his relatives out of justice and hands Liu Xuande over to us, the young master will be the lord of Jingzhou forever!"
"With your talents, you might even be adopted by the Prime Minister as your adopted son!"
Shameless kid!
Zhao Yun was furious and charged Zhang Liao with the gentian spear in his hand. The latter was not afraid at all. The two fought hard for more than ten moves without deciding the outcome.
"Zhang Wenyuan! Fortunately, Lu Bu thought more highly of you back then. Don't you think you've become addicted to surrender?"
"If my father and second uncle hadn't said all the nice things to you that day, how would Cao Cao have looked at you?"
"Now you don't want to repay your kindness. Instead, you are full of hypocrisy and are trying to persuade me to surrender? Get back fifteen miles!"
Liu Mang waved the command flag with both hands, and the cavalry who had been ambushing behind the phalanx suddenly came out.
As the phalanx advanced together, they all attacked Cao Jun!
Xu Chu and Xu Huang did not dare to fight, so they had to retreat quickly with Cao Chun.
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun fought hard for several times, and after showing off a flaw, they quickly retreated.
"My nephew! With such cavalry, why don't you chase after them?"
"Hush! Third uncle, can our cavalry compare to the tiger and leopard cavalry? That's what I use to scare people!"
"What's the strategy of doubting soldiers? My eldest nephew is still better! That sleeping insect always teaches me some useless things!"
Zhang Fei complained, and then escorted Liu Mang to meet Liu Bei.
"Mang'er, I'm so relieved that you can come to save me!"
Liu Mang curled his lips. Although he always made Liu Bei angry, the latter always treated others tolerantly.
If it weren't for the chaos of war and the lack of a foundation, Uncle Liu Huang would not be willing to abandon his wife and son.
"Father!!"
Just as everyone was about to retreat, they saw Liu Feng's cavalry coming quickly.
Not only his robe was stained with blood, but also his shoulder and thigh were hit by an arrow!
"Feng'er!"
"Father! The child is guilty! Cao Jun's craftsman has sneaked into the bodyguard's side a long time ago! Mrs. Mi was surrounded, and the child could not save the frame. He fought his way out and came to tell us!"
"You...have tried your best..."
Liu Bei's heart was bleeding, and Zhang Fei said angrily: "Why don't you risk your life to save your sister-in-law? Instead, you come back alone? Brother! I will save my sister-in-law now!"
Zhao Yun stopped Zhang Fei and said bluntly: "Yide! You protect the lord and retreat, leave this matter to me!"
Zhang Fei nodded, pointed to the back and said, "Zilong, be careful, I'll be waiting for you at Changbanqiao!"
Zhao Yun rode away, intending to say hello to Liu Mang, but unexpectedly his young master had disappeared.
"Don't let anything happen to you!"
Liu Mang galloped on his horse, thinking about Madam Mi's voice and appearance, and the girl who had promised him to risk her life to protect Madam Mi.
"Nothing can happen to you!"
…
Dangyang.
The driver was retreating in an orderly manner, but someone among Mrs. Mi's attendants suddenly blew a whistle.
Cao Jun, who was originally hiding in the crowd, suddenly charged towards the carriage!
