Yuan Yuan was no longer calm, and his face looked very unnatural: "Use the foot formation to attack the cavalry? Li Da is the cavalry on the rear and rear wings, and the cavalry on the rear and rear wings are all dead men when Yuan Jian's backup?"
So what if he is alive?
Yuan Jian knew it when he thought he had a plan and thought that Li Liang's back was empty and the whole army was pressing on him.
Before Li Chengzhi could explain to Yuan Yuan, Yuan Jian suddenly woke up from a dream.
He wished he could give himself a slap in the face: It was just a formation with a hundred people, not an actual battle, so how could he be so frightened that he was so confused?
Under the secret annoyance, Yuan Chen's face turned purple, and his voice was shrill and distorted, as if his throat was about to be torn: "The whole army attacks..."
Li Chengzhi sighed secretly: It’s over!
It's a good thing that Yuan Jian is not in a hurry. At most, the left and right wings are broken, and there are still three pieces of iron cavalry left, and there are more than a hundred horses in reserve. If they are used well, there may be a chance of a comeback.
But in this hurry, he fell into Li Liang's plan.
Yuan Chen's idea was a good one: Let the two horses sent to the left and right before, that is, the dozen or so cavalry who were at a loss at this time and seemed to be gathered together to watch a show, act as bait, and the remaining three horses went around behind the formation.
Break it in one fell swoop...
But you are not prepared to be Li Liang?
As soon as they heard "the whole army is attacking", all the dandies showed various expressions: some were excited, some were calm, and some were fearful and timid.
Those with clearer minds still knew how to avoid its sharp edges, and then walked around the formation to join Yuan Jian and others who were coming on horseback. However, those who were excited, or those who were frightened, actually stayed in place in a daze.
, stabbed the infantry with his lance?
Most people in this category think that as long as I don't rush my horse, I won't be able to hit your spear array, and naturally I won't be able to fall off my horse. Although you have a gun, I also have a gun, and I'm taller than you. Wait until your spear comes.
If you come with a hook, I'll knock you over long ago...
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is hard!
"Point!"
The command flag in Li Liang's hand was waved down hard, and the horizontal array was suddenly divided into two: the first two rows continued to move forward, while the last two rows stopped on the spot, and as soon as they turned, they were already backward.
The first row still crouched down, holding their arms across their chests. The second row still placed their guns on the shoulders of the first row soldiers, holding the guns with both feet. The left hand held the gun, and the free right hand touched the waist. Just listen to the sound of "噌噌" in unison, and more than ten horizontal knives are pointed directly at Yuan Chen, as if to say: If you have the guts, come...
This step formation actually stops when you say it stops and stands up when you say it stands?
My eyes were shocked!
Yuan Jian was angry and anxious, and felt blood rushing to his head.
Li Da seemed to have a complete understanding of his own thoughts and concluded that he would be indecisive and indecisive. He actually treated himself like a monkey?
Feel free to rush, the previous example of Liang Shi is still vivid in my mind: It was just a demonstration, what kind of dude would rush into battle with broken bones and legs?
It is estimated that even those within ten feet of the formation would not want to get close.
You want to withdraw, but the little morale you finally built up will be completely dispersed on the spot?
Is it a moment of bravery to kill him until the sky is dark and the earth is dark? Is there any honor even if he is defeated?
Or endure the humiliation and preserve your strength in order to make a comeback?
Yuan Chen gritted his teeth and managed to hold back his breath: "Wai!"
The cavalrymen, who were about to rush to the front of the formation, breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the reins hard, barely grazing the tip of the infantry's spear as they passed by the formation.
Looking at the other side, as soon as the battle started, it was one-sided.
How dare you stand still? If I don’t kill you, who will you kill?
More than a dozen spears hit the cavalry's legs accurately. When the horse was in pain, it would either kneel on the ground or neigh violently and stand up.
The cavalry on horseback either fell into the advancing formation, or were knocked off their horses.
Although many lances were pierced into the infantry, what was the use?
The cavalry stood on the same spot, unable to borrow any strength. With their own manpower, their spears couldn't even make a hole in the armor.
Some people saw that the situation was not right and were about to hit the horse and run away. But before the horse could turn around, he felt his body light up and flew up like a cloud in the mist. But when he landed, the person who was hit had not yet recovered from the impact, and felt that
A chill in my neck...
The infantry in the second row were so unhappy, one shot at a time, one at a time...
As soon as the battle started, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses. There were fifty cavalrymen in total, and they had lost two thousand by this time?
It felt like someone had poured a basin of ice water on her in the cold weather, and Yuan Jian was chilled from head to toe.
A moment or two ago, when they saw Li Dali walking in formation, a group of dudes almost laughed out loud, but what about now?
Turning around to look, everyone's eyes were shocked and their faces were ashen.
Fortunately, this is a practice battle. If it were an actual battle, 99% of the time there would be deserters.
Yuan Jian suppressed his surprise and patiently advised: "Don't be afraid, even if you lose two pieces, you still have nearly thirty horses. And there are more than a hundred horses available, so you are not without the strength to fight..."
"Yes, there is also a horse ready!"
Yuan Yan shouted loudly, "If used properly, it will definitely be a surprise weapon... You may still remember that when we first entered the camp and discussed privately, we mentioned that the brigade commander killed Murong in Hexi in the midst of thousands of troops.
, the chain fire horse formation that you have used before?"
Yuan Min suddenly became anxious: "Li... Brigadier Li has given repeated orders. He doesn't know how to use fire or tactics, and the weapons he is equipped with are all unused. He just doesn't want to cause more casualties in a drill. You
Are you going to use a fire horse array?"
"Idiot, if you don't come up with a strange plan, will you really lose?"
Yuan Yan cursed bitterly, "Are you only concerned about trivial matters like whether we will endure hardships and suffer punishment in the future? Do you know that if we lose this battle today, we will be completely convinced that we are useless?"
Name..."
Completely confirming the name of waste?
I felt a rush of hot blood rushing into my mind, and my eyes instantly turned red. Yuan Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Then use... a soldier never tires of deceit. Let's win this battle first. Even if he is punished afterwards, he will admit it..."
”
Yuan Yan was overjoyed: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the horses..."
Fire horse series formation?
The eyes of several cavalrymen who intentionally stayed at the end of the team lit up at the same time, and they couldn't help but look at each other: Good opportunity?
Without waiting for a signal from their companions, the two cavalrymen jumped out of the cavalry and ran towards Yuan Chen: "General Bing, my two brothers are willing to be the vanguard and drive the fire horses into the formation..."
I thought that no one was willing to come forward, so he probably had to do it himself. Unexpectedly, two people who dared to fight appeared unexpectedly?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Yuan Jian was so pleasantly surprised that he took a closer look. They were all wearing face shields, so it was difficult to identify them immediately. After a closer look, he saw their deep blue eyes and realized they were the Webster brothers.
These two people are from the Gaoche clan. They were recruited into Huben because of their father's meritorious service in the war.
These two brothers both recommended themselves. Seeing that their brothers were tall, strong, and extremely skilled in martial arts, Yuan Chen chose these two.
"Okay, I'll recruit your two brothers as the vanguard..."
As soon as the word "pioneer" came out of his mouth, the corners of Yuan Chen's eyes twitched fiercely.
Not far away, there was a loud sound of drums.
The sound of the drums is extremely dense, just like rain hitting banana trees, and this beating method only represents a command: attack with the whole army!
Looking up, Li Da had already united his infantry formations and lined up four columns, heading this way.
Is the whole army actually attacking?
Although they have seen the power of the infantry formation, they no longer dare to underestimate it. But when they saw the infantry chasing the cavalry with their legs, the second-generation ancestors still felt that it was unspeakably ridiculous.
I only need to spur my horse on a little and I can get far away. How do you pursue me?
Even if you are tired and vomiting blood, you can't catch a hair?
Just as I was secretly laughing, the drum beat suddenly stopped. I saw Li Dameng wave his flag again, and the formation split into two in the blink of an eye.
Each is in two rows, and the formation is still vertical. But the directions are slightly wrong, just like a "V", one on the left and one on the right, diagonally facing the cavalry.
The drums sounded again, no longer as dense as before: boom, boom, boom, boom... boom, boom, boom, boom...
With each drum beat, the infantry moved forward, neither urgent nor slow, but rhythmic... Although the sound was not loud, it was like a series of thunder in the ears of all the dandies.
"Kill!" Hearing a sharp roar, the infantrymen on the left and right raised their spears and slashed down diagonally.
Reflecting the scorching sun, the spear shot out bursts of cold light, and everyone felt a sharp light rushing towards them.
When I looked at it again, I felt that the two thin teams were like two iron walls, seeming to weigh a big mountain on the hearts of a bunch of dudes.
You thought he was a sheep to be slaughtered, only to discover in the end that there was a hungry wolf hidden under the sheep's skin?
Anyone who is not a stupid person can see that the infantry is actually trying to surround the cavalry.
Yuan Yan was anxious: "Brother Seventeen, whether to attack or retreat, you should give the order quickly?"
Don't blame him for being impatient, the lesson is right in front of him: Those two things are just standing still like this, and they were completely wiped out by the formation. How dare you stand still?
Attack?
What to attack with?
Before, the infantry formation was stationed in the same place, and few cavalrymen dared to charge into the formation. Now, holding a sword like a knife and charging into the wall, more like a tiger showing its fangs, who of his subordinates dared to risk his life to rush into it?
If we say withdrawal...what happens after withdrawal?
Now that I think about it, it would be a joke to besiege but not attack. Since you can't cut off someone's retreat or cut off their food route, what's the use of encircling them?
It's just a siege, and I'm afraid it's better to escape. But if you really want to escape, don't think about being a human again...
Li Da had already prepared to chase him all over the school grounds. Otherwise, why would he not even bring a bow and arrow?
I'm just afraid that if I bring too much, my infantry will not be able to run fast if they carry too much weight...
Yuan Jian felt as if she had been poured a basin of ice water on a freezing cold day, and her head was chilled to her feet.
He leaned forward fiercely and took off his gun, with a pale face and a trembling roar: "Everyone, if you don't want to become a laughing stock, just fight to the death with me. Even if you lose, there is still honor..."
He roared in his mouth, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and actually rushed towards the formation.
"Why not let the horses charge first?" Someone shouted loudly, "Even if there is no time to light the fire, we can slow down the offensive of the formation. If you are lucky, you may not be able to defeat it in one fell swoop..."
"What a fool, you fool?" Yuan Yan cursed while urging his horse, "Even people know how to avoid its sharp edges, let alone animals? How can an ownerless horse dare to run into the bright swords and spears? Or,
You think Li Da and others can't ride a horse... How is this different from capitalizing on the enemy?"
The boy was so scolded that he felt red in the face and felt ashamed.
Yuan Jing had already rushed out five or six steps, but a group of dudes were still hesitating. Yuan Min cursed: "Today's defeat is all because of these cowards... This is not a real battle, and there will be no real death.
Afraid of a bird feather?"
If you don't give in, you rush forward. Aren't you hesitant like the rest of us?
Looking at Yuan Chen again, he was not a coward and rushed out first. But why did his horse slow down halfway through the rush?
A group of dandies cursed secretly in their hearts and rode slowly to keep up...
……
Yuan Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that I'm a coward. I wish I had the courage a long time ago... huh? I'll do it... Yuan Chen, I'll marry your eldest mother, you loser..."
I don’t know what he said in the second half of the sentence, but only half of it turned into a violent curse.
When he looked again, his face was as swollen as a pig's liver, and he was holding the horse's reins with both hands, and the veins bulging out from his grip.
Before he had even taken ten steps, he saw that instead of avoiding the infantry, he quickened his pace to meet him. Yuan Jian actually restrained his horse?
Yuan Yuan felt his blood rushing to his head.
Even the general is so timid, twice in a row, how can his soldiers have any morale at all?
Yuan Yan is really right, they are really a bunch of trash.
Li Da's formation is indeed sharp, but in terms of surprise, it is really not that novel. It only relies on not being afraid of death and military discipline...
The infantry formation has been divided, and the front and rear formations are only two rows deep. If Yuan Jian and others muster up some courage and try to hurt a few horses to charge, the infantry formation will inevitably be torn open.
But Yuan Jian doesn’t dare to fight, what can be done?
He wished he could make Yuan Chen admit defeat on the spot, and then call him in and give him a good beating.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yuan Yan opened his mouth and cursed: "It's in vain that bastard used to gnash his teeth at every turn, as fierce as a tiger. Grandpa thought he would be a fierce general in the future, but who knew he was just a coward?"
Hearing his chatter, Yuan Yuan became upset and angry, and shouted in a cold voice: "Shut up!"
Is it just that Yuan Jian is too coward?
But these fifty dudes are all cowards.
I shouldn't have agreed to let a bunch of dudes perform the formation. Even if I picked a bunch of ordinary soldiers from the Ministry of War, they wouldn't have been defeated so simply and so humiliatingly...
After several breaths, Yuan Yan finally calmed down some of his anger. He glanced sideways at Li Chengzhi again: "You fifty retainers, most of them are people who have fought for the rest of their lives, right?"
Except for Li Liang, Li Rui and Li Cong, the others only fought a few battles in Jingzhou. How could they have fought a hundred battles?
It just depends on everyone working together to achieve prosperity...
Li Chengzhi laughed: "The guard general is wise!"
What a wise fart?
If we hadn’t killed people and seen blood, how could we have such strict military discipline?
Even if the gun has no edge and the knife has no edge, the horse's hooves are always real, right? If you really step on someone, you will have to break a few bones even if you don't die...
"Li's servants are indeed worthy of the name of fierce soldiers!"
Yuan Yuan praised and looked at Li Chengzhi approvingly: "You can be considered the first to beat a horse on foot in the plains. Although it is a competition, if you practice it well, you may not be able to use it in actual combat... Write a
The article is submitted and will be submitted to His Majesty to see if it can be widely used throughout the army..."
Li Chengzhi modestly held his fist in the air: "The superior is so complimentary, but the inferior official is ashamed!"
At this time, this is indeed a first of its kind.
In another two hundred years to the mid-Tang Dynasty, Modao began to become popular among the Tang army, and they gradually developed the tactics of not setting up chariot formations, restraining horses without fighting, and counterattacking heavy cavalry.
But no matter how good the tactics are, they still need people to execute them!
Such as the battle of Xiangji Temple: the thieves came out in large numbers, covering up the chasing cavalry, and also trampled the king's division. The king's division was in chaos and could not form the formation... Siye took off his clothes and fought alone, stood in front of the formation with a long sword and shouted...
When Si Ye wields the sword, all the men and horses are broken into pieces, and dozens of people are killed before the formation is stationed. The soldiers in the front army all come out with long swords and advance like a wall. Si Ye is the first to get up and fight for his life, destroying everything... p>
Without Li Siye, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed during the Anshi Rebellion...
