Li Chengzhi believes: Throughout ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, those who are called strong armies all have extremely strong organizational capabilities. No matter how good the system is, it always requires people to implement it, so it must depend on the "general's" ability to control his subordinates and "
The executive ability of "scholar".
Therefore, generals are the most important, followed by soldiers, and then pawns. However, national strength and equipment, which many people consider to be the necessary factors for a strong army, have become the lowest level requirements.
No need to give other examples, just look at my rabbit...
Yuan Yan shook his head, stared, and almost cursed: Are you talking nonsense?
Seeing Yuan Yuan's signal, he pointed at Li Chengzhi: "In that case, let us wait and see... let's start the war!"
The last military order was not given to Li Chengzhi, but to the infantry and cavalry in the school field.
This was because Li Chengzhi wanted to avoid suspicion, so he invited Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yan to watch the formation.
Following the whistle order, Li Liang's foot formation suddenly moved: all the soldiers took off the shields in front of their chests, thrust them hard into the ground, and then put their long spears on the shields...
Standing at the top of Jinyong City, several Huangmen who were closely watching the situation below the city suddenly felt shocked: Although the formation was not big, with a radius of only three feet, the fifty spears reflecting the cold light were like those on a monster.
Stinger...
Yuan Yan suddenly realized: "I just thought: since the spear has not been sharpened, the sword has not broken the edge, the arrow has not been mounted, and everyone is wearing armor, then why does Li Da need to do this extra step and require everyone to wear a shield? At this time, it seems that it was originally
Is it used to set up a spear formation?"
"With the support of shields, the spear array will be stronger, so you can be invincible!"
Yuan Yan said suspiciously again, "But if you say that you can defeat the cavalry with this foot formation, I don't believe it! Regardless of anything else, four-legged people can always run faster than two-legged ones. As long as the cavalry don't rush forward, they can't win against the foot formation."
As far as this is concerned, there is no flaw to be found. In this case, the two parties should be in a draw at most?"
How could it be a draw?
Li Chengzhi let out a slight breath: "If you chase a horse on foot, you won't be able to catch up. But even if Yuan Jian doesn't advance rashly, he will most likely run away..."
How is it possible to run away?
He was about to ask more questions when he heard Yuan Yuan sigh: "Mo Duosheng, just watch, we will see the results sooner or later, why are you so anxious?"
Yuan Yan had to shut up...
Yuan Jing is also familiar with military literature, and he knows very well that using cavalry against foot is nothing more than disturbing his fatigue, peeking into his weakness, attacking his weakness, and finally defeating him.
No matter how tight and dense the spear formation is, if it dares to move even a little, flaws will be revealed. Even if it means death, the cavalry can cut off its retreat and cut off its food and fodder... Therefore, there is no reason for the cavalry to lose. But Li Chengzhi just did the opposite?
Frightened by its power, Yuan Jian hesitated for a moment.
"Brother Seventeen, are you still afraid at this point?"
Yuan Min said anxiously, "The brigade commander swore firmly and insisted that it was just a normal battle, so Li Da would definitely not use tricks. In addition, in order to avoid causing more casualties, both sides did not even fire swords, guns and arrows, and they were covered with such thick clothes.
How dangerous can it be?"
"Do you know what a bird feather is? Grandpa is afraid of death. Grandpa is afraid of losing without knowing why..."
After cursing, Yuan Jian ordered again, "Yu Ping, Mu Guang, each of you will lead one of them. One will harass his left and right wings, and the other will pretend to attack his rear. Let's see how Li Da responds..."
The two responded in unison, and each led a horse and ran out of the riding formation.
As soon as he saw the cavalry formation move, Li Liang reacted: "Change formation: circle!"
Following the shouts, in the phalanx of seven vertical and horizontal formations, only the front army did not move. The soldiers on the left, right and rear wings suddenly stood up, raised their shields and spears, and turned their backs towards Li Liang who was standing in the formation.
, and then tie up the shield and carry the gun...
Just like a huge flower suddenly blooming, or like an oversized thorn suddenly opening its back thorns...
The whole process did not take more than five breaths?
A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door.
Not to mention Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yan, even Liu Teng on the city wall watched with admiration.
Even though this person is a eunuch, he followed the late Emperor Xiaowen on several southern expeditions, and there were no shortage of big scenes.
Just this simple turn shows that Li's retainers are not just famous, but have real talents. At least it shows that they are well-trained.
Just look at the cavalry formation on the opposite side and you will know: the two cavalrymen have just started riding...
The bully infantry were not equipped with bows and arrows, and the two cavalrymen actually bullied them to within ten steps. They opened their bows and drew arrows one after another. Although the arrows were not fired, they had iron heads after all, and they hit the steel armor with a clanging sound.<
/p>
What's more, it seemed that they didn't dare to move lightly because of the fixed-step formation, so they stopped their horses and stood there and fired their bows?
Even though Li Liang was as calm as a mountain, he almost couldn't hold back and ordered the infantry to change formations... Fortunately, Yuan Jian was cautious. Seeing Mu Guang, Yu Ping seemed to be underestimating the enemy and hurriedly ordered him to pay gold and let him return to his base.
Array.
As long as they slow down for a few breaths, these two cavalrymen will be swallowed up by Li Liang...
Afraid of losing the morale he had finally built up, Yuan Chen did not have the courage to scold these two people, but just asked coldly: "How!"
"It's like an iron hedgehog, it's so tightly guarded that water can't get in, so it's really impossible to bite..."
"But it's just a tight defense. It doesn't even have a bow and arrow, only a shield and a spear. As long as it stands more than ten feet away, there is nothing we can do..."
Yuan Jian grinned as if he had a toothache and said: "Don't say that the arrows have no arrowheads. Even if there are arrowheads, it is like scratching an itch for Jujia. Just like you, shooting at the infantry for a long time, it can be seen that
Did that array move even half a hair?"
This is the truth.
Foot shooting is fine, but if it is mounted shooting, whether it is a crossbow or a bow, the threat to Jujia Chongbu is not much more than a toothpick, and at most it can only make audible noises.
But the problem is, Li Dali is setting up an infantry formation now, and picking some powerful archers can still pose a threat to the cavalry. However, he is not even equipped with a bow or an arrow?
On the contrary, Yuan Chen, under the inertial thinking, equipped with enough bows and arrows, which is worse than useless...
Suspicious in his heart, Yuan Jian asked again: "Besides the fact that it is not equipped with a bow and arrow, have you seen anything unusual about it?"
"The spears they hold are all spears with wide and long blades. But they are not the spears as rumored. They are only about ten feet long, but there is a hook and sickle at the end of the blade..."
Hook sickle?
It should be used to hook the horse's legs in close combat.
It doesn't matter, as long as I don't get close. Yuan Chen just can't figure it out. Even if this is an iron barrel formation, how long will Li Da be able to use it up?
As long as they are surrounded to death and starved for three days, how can they not be defeated?
Yuan Chen couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of Li Chengzhi's promise: Don't talk about being a master, as long as you don't practice the physical fitness that is more tiring than a dog and harder than a donkey, the military appearance, and don't get used to that shit that makes your brain hurt when you hear it.
Regulations, he is thankful.
No matter what, it's better to be cautious. It doesn't matter whether the method is stupid or not, as long as you can win...
"Yu Ping, Mu Guang, Lu Zhao, and Cui Xin each led their own troops and surrounded Li Da to death.
Remember to besiege rather than attack. In order to prevent them from cheating, you are not allowed to come within thirty steps of the formation. If you see any change in them, do not attack rashly. Send me a message immediately... The rest of the people will follow me to supervise the formation..." p>
Seeing his explanation like this, many people secretly despised him, thinking that Yuan Chen was scared out of his wits by Li Chengzhi?
It's ridiculous that just one of the Li family's servants should frighten him so much?
Momentarily, everyone moved out one after another and circled the infantry formation from a distance. When they were thirty steps away from the infantry formation, the cavalry slowed down their horses and slowly circled around the infantry like a spring outing.
……
This is obviously an attempt to encircle you without attacking, and I will kill you!
Seeing this, Yuan Yuan nodded imperceptibly.
No matter how scheming you are, I will only use my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. What can you do to me?
This is the way to be mature!
I don’t know what Li Chengzhi was thinking. He only talked about the battle, but he didn’t even specify the rules, that is, how much time it would take, and neither side even brought dry food or water, as if it was expected that the winner would be determined in two seconds.
?
The cavalry is easy to handle, and with just these hundred horses, we can defend it for a month, not to mention three or two days.
But as for the infantry, can they still chew the barrel of a gun, or can they become armored?
Suspicious in his heart, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but look sideways. Not only did he not see worry on Li Chengzhi's face, but he seemed to be faintly excited?
Suddenly a sharp whistle was heard, and Yuan Yan screamed "Yeah", and a loud "dong" was heard in the school grounds.
Turning around, he saw that the fifty infantrymen were already standing with their spears in hand. The loud sound should have been made when they heard the command to throw down their shields and lean on their spears.
Yuan Yuan was shocked: Is Li Da crazy?
The cavalry is watching eagerly outside, but the infantry dare to withdraw their guns?
That's an iron cavalry, aren't they afraid of overpowering you?
What a God-given opportunity...
Standing forty or fifty steps away, Yuan Jian could see clearly. Why did Yuan Ping and Mu Guang need to go to such lengths to summon him?
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end his habitual thinking was causing trouble, thinking that if there was any abnormal movement in the formation, there must be a flaw. Yuan Jian still couldn't control his greed, so he launched an attack on the left and right sides.
You even lost your shield, how can you set up a spear formation?
It was only thirty steps, and the horse did not stop, but was trotting. A little urging, and it would arrive in a moment.
Seeing the cavalry galloping from left to right, Li Liang was a little nervous.
If these five infantrymen are soldiers from Hexi, why should he worry?
Li Chengzhi was given instructions on how to conduct battle training. Li Song and Li Liang used various tricks to fight against small tribes such as Gaoche, Uighur, Lushuihu and others around Juyanhai.
At first, they still used cavalry against cavalry. When Li Chengzhi sent the training methods of this new formation to Hexi, they even used foot against cavalry, and the soldiers were not defeated...
"Come together!"
Following Li Liang's cold shout, it was as if a net was surrounding them invisibly. The five infantry soldiers all retreated back, like a group of sardines, so densely packed that there was no gap between the soldiers?<
/p>
"First row, kneel!"
"The second example, squat!"
"The third example, raise the gun!"
Although this is the first time to engage with the enemy, they usually practice diligently and as usual, often exchanging infantry and cavalry to practice battles. The instinct has already been engraved in the bones of these retainers.
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers in the first four rows each followed the order, kneeling, squatting, squatting, or raising their guns in the air. The remaining three rows stepped tightly on their hind legs and pressed their shoulders against the backs of the front row soldiers. p>
The cavalry came quickly, and the infantry formation changed even faster. In the blink of an eye, the two sides were less than three feet apart.
A glint flashed in Li Liang's eyes, and he blew the brass whistle in his mouth.
"Kill!"
A violent roar was like muffled thunder, echoing between the imperial city and the mountains and forests...
