If you look at the advancement status of the respective armies as a bystander, you will find that the armies of the Zhi family and the Fan family have similarities.
As they advanced, not only did they maintain a neat queue, but they also seemed to be taking their time.
On the contrary, even as the overlord of Shandong, Qi State, their army quickly became distorted when their army was in motion. The formations of the remaining Zheng Army, Song Army, and Wei Army were even more seriously distorted.
The Jin army took the lead in shooting arrows, and then the coalition forces counterattacked.
Most of the soldiers at the head of their respective armies were holding swords in their hands. Facing the falling arrows, they could only shake the swords in their hands in an attempt to block them.
There are many kinds of war weapons. Infantrymen generally carry a medium-length weapon, which is about two meters long with the aid (a blade used for hooking and pecking) and the tak (wooden pole).
In addition, there are short ges with a total length of no more than 1.4 meters, and long ges with a length of more than three meters. The latter are generally used by chariot soldiers.
Arranged neatly and with both hands holding the sword, the swaying in unison can really block some of the arrows. It is really impossible to stop them and they can only be shot.
Arrows were being fired from both sides, screams and groans of pain began to appear frequently, but not as many people fell as expected.
Is it because arrows are bad? A little bit.
Next, there are armies from different countries. The soldiers placed in the front basically all wear armor. The most "practiced armor" is made of silk and thick cotton, and then there is the cowhide armor.
Leather armor made of rhino skin and crocodile skin is generally worn by soldiers, but ordinary soldiers do not have this treatment.
Having piercing armor on the body can generally block the arrows. Even if it is not completely blocked, it can slow down the penetrating power of the arrowheads. Therefore, the person who is hit by the arrow will not die immediately. Most people will continue to move violently after being hit by the arrow, and they will lose blood soon after.
Often they fall into a state of shock and fail to receive timely rescue, leading to death from excessive bleeding.
"What a pity, there isn't enough time to train the 'Arrow Formation'!" Zhiyao couldn't help but think so when she saw that hand-to-hand combat had already occurred.
Not many people shoot arrows together and call it an arrow formation. The description would be lengthy, so I won’t mention it for now.
Because the formations are close to each other for fighting, soldiers from different camps are displayed on the battlefield. When they approach each other, they form a "battle line" fighting method.
What's the scene? It's just that the phalanxes are approaching each other, and the soldiers in the front row are constantly attacking the enemy with their swords. They are either fighting each other or fighting in a chaotic mess.
If the archers of Lao Zhijia have trained in the "Arrow Formation", even in the stage of hand-to-hand combat, they can still use the "Arrow Formation" to cover the enemy forces behind the "battle line" even in the stage of hand-to-hand combat. Han's good archery is basically
This is how it works.
It's just a matter of shooting arrows at soldiers crossing one's own "battle line". What's so difficult? This is an idea that modern people have enough knowledge to come up with. To put it simply, there are still a large number of illiterate people in modern times who don't understand things that modern people take for granted. What's more?
Is it as far back as the late Spring and Autumn Period? It is even more difficult when it involves collective operations. For example, one person skipping rope is one thing, but ten people skipping rope together is another thing.
Zhiyao saw a large-scale battle for the first time, and she was somewhat incomprehensible as the tanks retreated to the left, right, and backward before the battle began, and the battlefield space was filled with infantry.
In fact, you have to learn everything before you can understand it. Zhiyao can give advice on strategy and tactics, but commanding on the spot is another matter. It requires a lot of knowledge, especially basic common sense.
It is difficult to determine the outcome of such a battle in a short period of time. What is competing is the will and physical strength of the soldiers on both sides. Whichever side's will collapses first will be pushed back again and again. Each retreat will deform one's own formation. Basically, the battle of the superior side is
The car unit can make full use of it.
By the way, where is the promised Super Rider Kill? This is talking about the normal state, it will not be the case after the fight starts.
When it comes to what sounds are most densely packed on the battlefield, there is no doubt that it is the clashing sound of fighting weapons.
Zilu did not rush into the formation himself. He mainly leaned forward enough to observe whether there were any opportunities to take advantage of, and ordered what kind of attack method a certain square formation should carry out.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and it seemed that there was no chance to determine the overall outcome for a while?
The phalanxes at war between the two camps alternated in an orderly manner over and over again. They always seized the opportunity to give the other side's evacuated soldiers a hard blow, and soon formed a "battle line" with the new phalanxes to continue fighting.
.
"Those holding shields can move forward, drive the enemy's enemies away, and then use Zhi's tactics!" Zilu noticed that several of the enemy's square formations were showing signs of collapse and immediately gave the order.
There was a scene on the battlefield. Originally, both sides were fighting soldiers attacking each other. If anyone fell on either side, his comrades would take over. On the Jin army's side, several phalanxes suddenly appeared in front of them, holding small tower shields.
and soldiers with short swords.
This group of soldiers rolled on the ground to avoid the sword, suddenly approached and gave the enemy a break, then stood up and took advantage of the enemy's sword to be out of reach, and launched a series of attacks with short spears in hand.
In fact, it is best to hold a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. However, Zhu Xia currently does not have such a weapon as a sword, and holding a sword requires sufficient status, so it is better to hold a shield in one hand and a short spear in the other.
As for what the "Zhishi method of warfare" is, the Jin army broke through several square formations of the enemy. Soldiers holding medium-length swords and soldiers with short swords alternately attacked forward like waves, wave after wave.
Wave's offensive was such that the enemy troops were no longer huddled together. The enemy troops retreated again and again, making it impossible to reorganize their formation as a whole, and the rout was unstoppable.
The wave-like alternating impact is the Zhi family's fighting method. This fighting method originally belonged to the Que family. Later, Zhiying accepted some of the Que family's retainers and became Zhi family's fighting method.
"Both the Wei army and the Song army were defeated!" Zhi Xuwu was not very excited and added: "Zhong You is good at fighting!"
Right? Not everyone can seize every opportunity to dismantle the enemy and make timely adjustments.
When the battle reached the point where the Wei and Song armies were defeated, it took more than two hours.
The number of guards was probably more than 7,000, which was the strength of three "divisions" under Zhou Li.
The Song army should have come as an "army", that is, with a strength of 12,500 troops.
On the battlefield, the Wei army collapsed first, followed closely by the Song army.
The most unexpected thing was that the Guards Army, which collapsed first, actually began to attack the Song Army, causing the Song Army that could have held on for a while to also collapse.
Seeing that the Song army and the Wei army were fighting together, Zilu ordered the two victorious "divisions" to turn around and attack the Qi army and Fan's army respectively.
"The Jin army is so strong that all the princes can't stop it. It's my luck to drive it!" Zilu was in an extremely happy mood, and his desire to fight became even more fervent.
At this time, the sound of gold came from the rear of the coalition forces.
The order to retreat was issued by Qi Jun Chujiu, without notifying the combat commander Gongsun Qing and other friendly battlefield commanders in advance.
The sudden sound of ringing gold made the commanders at all levels of the coalition forces who had no prior knowledge a little confused.
Some people who had just discovered that the Wei army and the Song army were at war thought that it was internal strife that led to the need to withdraw their troops. They all secretly resented that the Wei army and the Song army were really nothing. It was already very difficult to fight the Jin army, and they engaged in internal strife before the battle.
In the era of "gentlemen's wars", if one party paid gold, the party with the advantage would stop fighting and wait for the other party to withdraw.
The current situation is that the Jin army knew that the coalition forces were about to retreat, and made a move to bite the coalition forces. Some even took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. According to this trend, even if the coalition forces retreat, they will definitely be bitten by the Jin army.
.
"Your Majesty..." Gongsun Qing felt that he was very tragic. He wanted to withdraw his troops without notifying him in advance. He did this suddenly and made it very difficult for him!
And Qi Jun Chujiu loved to mess around before he became the king. After becoming the king of a country, he changed his ways to enjoy himself and did some weird things. It didn't seem so surprising?
