Among the four famous generals, Bai Qi is undoubtedly the most aggressive.
The name of the God of Death is not for nothing. The countries in the Kanto region were frightened by the news.
Li Mu is also very aggressive, but it's a pity that he came out too late and didn't have many opportunities to show off his abilities.
Lian Po and Wang Jian seem to be on the same page and seem to pay more attention to defense, but in fact they are also offensive players.
Especially Wang Jian, when Qin destroyed six kingdoms, he destroyed three of them alone!
Wang Jian is also very aggressive, but he knows better about changes and can defend very well when he needs to defend.
Just like now.
On the martial arts field, Wang Jian's previous three thousand soldiers and horses had shrunk by nearly half.
If it were on a real battlefield, with this level of casualties, the army would have collapsed long ago.
That is to say, only when you are on the martial arts field can you continue to organize manpower to fight.
As the chariots and cavalry collapsed, Wang Jian, whose face sank into the water, knew that he no longer had the ability to attack.
The remaining crossbowmen and shield-bearers around him couldn't catch up with Li Yunze's cavalry on their own two legs.
Logically speaking, it is time to admit defeat at this time.
But Wang Jian did not admit defeat, but continued to mobilize the remaining soldiers, reorganized the military formation and continued the fight.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng looked unhappy, "We've already fought like this, why don't you admit defeat? This Wang Jian is too proud."
The generals all around had different expressions, and some of them who really knew what they were doing wanted to speak, but in the end they still didn't say anything.
The competition among generals is also very fierce, especially the competition for the commanding general when leading troops into battle, which can be said to be fierce to the point of cruelty.
As for Wang Ben, although he wanted to defend his father, he was too young and inexperienced. He had no vision or ability in this area, and he didn't know what to say in his eagerness.
Historically, the father and son Wang Jian and Wang Ben combined to destroy the Five Kingdoms, but in fact it was Wang Jian who fought the real hard battle.
Wang Ben is more of a bastard and a soft persimmon.
My actual ability is far inferior to that of his father.
Now I am even a little kid, so of course I don’t understand the twists and turns inside.
Anyone who knows anything knows that the reason why Wang Jian did not admit defeat at this time was not because he valued his own face and wanted to fight to the death. In fact, it was to continue to test the combat effectiveness of the innovative cavalry in all aspects.
This can be seen from the way Wang Jian arranged for the shield-bearing soldiers to form a shield wall formation.
Wang Jian wanted to learn how the archers broke through the shield wall formation.
How to break through the formation of long soldiers with long swords, halberds, etc. I have seen it before. The archers just go around and fire arrows.
The main reason is that the armor rate in this era is not high.
For example, iron armor, bronze armor, and even the increasingly rare rhinoceros leather armor can only be worn by officers at the officer level.
Ordinary soldiers can only be equipped with leather armor, and the number of leather armors equipped is not high.
What's more important is that there are almost no such full-covering armors in various countries, leaving every part of the body exposed from head to toe.
If you are holding a long soldier, the archers will go around and fire arrows. Even if they only hit the arms and legs, it will be enough to lose their combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
It is indeed effective to hold long soldiers to form a spear formation to block the cavalry.
But the premise is that you must have enough protective power to protect yourself against bows and arrows.
Mo Dao soldiers dared to face the cavalry and cut them down because they were covered in iron armor and were not afraid of long-range shooting from bows and arrows.
Li Yunze can naturally understand Wang Jian's thoughts.
He was slightly hesitant. After all, this was just a martial arts exercise. Once the cavalry actually charged into battle, casualties would inevitably occur.
Of course, the casualties on the battlefield are nothing to talk about, but the casualties during military exercises were too high...
Thinking of this, he rode towards the president, Guan Huanjuan, and informed him of his thoughts.
Hearing Li Yunze's words, Huanjue looked at him in surprise.
In the eyes of generals in this era, soldiers are consumables that can be consumed at any time.
Performing martial arts in front of the king is an opportunity that no one can ask for. Who will care about the loss of soldiers?
But this Taifu in front of me...could he be the reincarnation of the Holy Mother?
Huan Jue responded with a dry laugh, "Master, actually I want you all to use actual soldiers."
Before today, Huan Jue had simply ignored the Tutor's attitude.
At this moment, Huanjue was trying hard to smile.
As for the reason, in the martial world of Da Qin, if you can fight, that’s your ability. If you have the ability, you will naturally gain respect!
Li Yunze didn't say anything more. He looked deeply at Huan Jue, then turned his horse's head and returned to the queue.
When it comes to using cavalry archers to attack the spear formation, no cavalry commander would do such a thing unless it was a matter of life and death.
But Wang Jian saw how fragile the long soldiers were under the rain of arrows in the first round of martial arts, so he changed all the long soldiers into shield-wielding soldiers, which gave him a chance.
Soldiers holding shields can naturally resist arrow rain, and combined with other units, they can resist cavalry.
But at this time, there was only a sparse group of crossbowmen left behind them, and there was no longer any force to cooperate with.
Li Yunze led the cavalry team, which changed horses again, and started running again.
Their speed was not fast, and they circled around the shield-bearing soldiers several times.
Then, as the bugle sound suddenly became louder, the running speed of the cavalry suddenly began to increase.
They pulled out a loose formation of fish scales and quickly circled around Wang Jian's troops while constantly approaching inward.
When the distance is far, use the crossbow on your back to shoot at the military formation.
After the distance is close, put the crossbow back on your back, pick up the riding bow and shoot.
The remaining crossbowmen around Wang Jian put up a desperate resistance.
But their formation was squeezed too small and too compact.
Round after round of arrows rained down, and someone would always be hit by an arrow and leave flour-stained dots on his body, thus being judged dead in battle.
On the other hand, the cavalry, relying on its high-speed movement and loose formation, faced the counterattack crossbow bolts that took a long time to fire, so the casualties and losses were negligible.
"It seems we need to strengthen the number of archers."
In the military formation, Wang Jian, who was holding a shield to protect the soldiers around him, carefully looked at everything around him. "The shield soldiers must cooperate with the long soldiers. It is best to have more chariot soldiers and cavalry..."
"
As he spoke, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.
If it were fully equipped, it would have to have at least five thousand soldiers and horses to withstand the attack of one thousand cavalry.
"...Terrain is very important. When encountering a large group of cavalry, you can choose terrain that is not suitable for cavalry to move. But if you are surrounded..."
Wang Jian, who was in the military formation, had already begun to summarize the war.
He has deeply seen and felt the powerful combat effectiveness of the cavalry after the reform.
As the crossbowmen gradually lost their ability to counterattack, the cavalry, which was getting closer to the military formation, spent their main energy on the shield soldiers arrayed on all sides.
The shield soldiers leaned together, curled up as much as possible, and held up their shields to resist the continuous rain of arrows.
Someone who is unlucky and gets shot in the body with his shield exposed usually screams in agony.
This is not a co-ordination act, but even though there is no metal arrow, if the speed is fast enough, you will still be injured and suffer severe pain if it hits you.
Li Yunze, who was riding his horse around, kept looking at the squeezed military formation.
After a moment, he raised his sword to signal to the people around him, and soon the nearby hundred-man team gradually changed from the fish scale formation to move closer to Li Yunze, forming a cluster.
Even Li Yunze, with the current communication capabilities, can only mobilize the people around him, but it is enough at this time.
Wang Jian, who had been carefully observing the battlefield, was keenly aware of something happening near Li Yunze's banner.
But he didn't know what Li Yunze was going to do, so naturally he didn't know how to deal with it.
But he watched very carefully. Only when he saw clearly what Li Yunze was going to do next could he consider how to deal with it.
Then, he saw Li Yunze leading the cavalry around him, thirty steps away from the military formation, turning around and heading straight towards the military formation.
In a flash of lightning, the cavalry first threw out a wave of spears and flying axes...
It was supposed to break out a small area in the formation of shield soldiers and create chaos, but unfortunately it was all made of wood. The shield soldiers were not knocked down when they hit it, and they only heard a sound.
The distance of thirty steps is just a blink of an eye for the running cavalry.
Li Yunze rode his horse forward, crouching on the ground facing him, trying his best to avoid the shield soldiers behind the shield. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs and pulled the reins hard.
The war horse jumped up hard, jumped into the air, crossed the shield wall and rushed into the military formation.
In fact, it would be better to hit him directly at this time, but Li Yunze doesn't like this kind of unnecessary loss.
A large number of cavalry followed immediately, rushed into the military formation and began to kill in all directions.
There is no doubt that the shield array quickly became chaotic.
Wang Jian personally rushed up with the guards around him, and then saw Li Yunze put away his sword, holding a... a wooden stick like a dragon crossing the sea, and knocked down all the soldiers in front of him.
, and then rushed all the way in front of him.
Wang Jian had just raised his sword, and the wooden stick in Li Yunze's hand had already stabbed him directly in the chest.
Under the huge impact, Wang Jian fell off the horse.
All around you can see horses' hooves, and all you can hear are the sounds of shouting and fighting.
Before Wang Jian could stand up, he heard the sound of gold ringing in the distance.
This martial arts performance is finally over.
The sound of fighting finally stopped, and everyone stood where they were, letting their emotions gradually calm down.
With the help of his personal guards, Wang Jian struggled to stand up.
Only then did he see his surroundings clearly.
The military formation composed of shield soldiers fell into complete collapse and chaos after encountering a breakthrough. A large number of cavalry rushed in in units of a hundred and killed them wantonly.
On a real battlefield, this military formation would be basically dead.
The generals watching the battle from a distance also saw this and asked Ying Zheng to order the end of the military exercise.
Wang Jian, clutching his chest and feeling unbearably suffocated, came to Li Yunze and saluted, "Please teach the master the training method to the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!"
In Wang Jian's opinion, the biggest reason why the cavalry's combat effectiveness is so strong is Li Yunze's effective training.
Li Yunze on horseback looked down at Wang Jian, a famous general whose name was recorded in history books.
He raised his chin slightly and his eyes were like lightning, "Then what do you think I am doing here in Da Qin!"
