New soldiers and old soldiers do not refer to the difference in time in the army, but a kind of growth from the inside out, which is mainly reflected in whether they have been in battle and killed the enemy.
The reason why new and old soldiers are often linked to time is because as time goes by, they experience more. There are many types of battle formations, such as annihilation battles, downwind battles, and city defense battles. In the wolf-catching army, you only go deep into the grassland once.
After going through various battles, he can be considered a veteran.
New soldiers in the frontier army had to serve for half a year or even a year before they could go into battle. Even if they went into battle, they would only shoot arrows on the city wall.
As for the wolf-catching army, they don't have that much time. They have been in battle together and killed the enemy. They are veterans because they have already experienced it.
In some large camps, enemies are killed for self-protection or for military merit.
When catching wolves and killing enemies, it is because they understand a truth.
There is no military merit for being in the wolf-catching army, because the wolf-catching army has never had the habit of cutting off the head and taking it back to ask for merit. Killing the enemy is because you cannot retreat, and you are protecting it.
This truth needs to be understood on the battlefield.
More than five hundred people rushed into the settlement of Liang Thieves, rushing into the world of blood and fire without hesitation, standing on the boundary between life and death, guarding without retreating.
Just like Chu Qing, he should actually be a new soldier, but he already understood this principle about protection when he was in Beijing.
In the capital, he had to protect his father, Fu San, Chu Mansion, and the refugees. Because of the protection, he had the courage. With courage, he has no fear.
Therefore, he is fearless on the battlefield.
Chu Qing was unstoppable in the battle formation. No cool thief could survive even one move under his sword.
Because every time he raised the knife, Wang Tongtong and Nangong Ping rushed forward and chopped down the enemy Chu Qing was pointing at. Chu Qing... couldn't even move his hand.
The last time he was in the mountains and forests of the border town, he could at least pick up corpses or do some last-ditch damage.
But last time there were few people around him, this time there were people around him, all trying to protect him intentionally or unintentionally, so he didn't stand a chance.
Chu Qing was furious and rushed harder. Then, the enemy died faster and was hacked to death by the people around him.
Although the number of the wolf-catching army is small, the veterans cooperate very well. Lin Hai leads the most skilled veterans, constantly intersecting and dividing. Everywhere he goes, it is like a horror movie shooting scene.
Liu Ye and other veterans who were good at shooting walked around and shot down all the enemies who wanted to escape.
Xiao Yi was like an old bachelor who had been holding back for twenty years and rushed into the women's bath. He laughed wildly and was invincible with a spear.
Chu Qing knew that the old soldiers should be very powerful, but he felt that they might not be that powerful. After all, the first impression was that they were just a group of refugees fleeing from famine, and they usually didn't show off in the camp.
But when these veterans took action, Chu Qing realized that he was wrong, how wrong he was.
These old soldiers all use the same methods as those in the army. They are open and close, and they are not much different from the soldiers in other camps.
However, the cooperation of these veteran soldiers, the battle formations they formed, and their reactions on the battlefield were obviously very different from ordinary soldiers.
Back in the mountains and forests of the border city, the infantry of Guoyi camp were extremely brave and marched forward indomitably.
Looking at the old soldier catching the wolf, the charging speed is not very fast, and it cannot be said to be a charge, it is just killing slowly forward.
Twelve or eighteen people form a battle formation, with three or four old pawns holding shields on both sides, and those in front holding swords. The distance between the battle formations is not far, about twenty steps at most.
.
Not only the cooperation between people, but also the cooperation between battle formations, reaching a wonderful tacit understanding. This can be seen from the speed of advancement, killing together in three directions.
Enter the settlement.
They looked scattered and scattered, like stragglers. When they entered the settlement, they were like a pile of scattered soldiers. They formed a battle formation in a few breaths. Among the twenty-six battle formations, the soldiers led by Lin Kuai continued to intersperse.
, the battle formation at the rear is cut, and the battle formations on both wings cross and advance.
This kind of battle formation alone actually does not require much personal combat power. Through this kind of battle formation, the veterans of the wolf-catching army turn killing into a "job". It is an efficient and coordinated work, and everyone has their own duties.
It is better to say that it is massacre by old soldiers, but it is better to say that it is massacre by using formations, without any hurry or slowness, without panic or chaos.
Chu Qing knew that the old soldiers did not exert their full strength, because even in this kind of foot battle, the old soldiers relied on the battle formation and fought in the most energy-saving and efficient way.
In each battle formation, there will be two to three new soldiers.
The new recruits are still making the same mistakes that new recruits should make, using too much force.
Their long knives are not fatal in one blow, so most of them will chop the enemy into bloody pieces, wasting their energy in vain. After they are sure that the enemy can't get up anymore, their faces are covered with blood and their eyes are red, looking for the next enemy.
The battle ended faster than expected. I was attacked, and I heard the most feared "curse" of every bandit on the grassland - I retreat.
They don't understand Chinese, but they are very familiar with the two words "I retreat". When these two words appear, it means that the wolf-catching army is coming.
Every time the Wolf Catching Army goes into battle, they will bring some new soldiers, and every time, they will shout these two words.
Being raided at night, attacked by fire, and retreating after hearing the news, Nokabe's resistance had almost no effect. Just when they realized that the wolf-catching army was coming, not many people still maintained their fighting spirit.
But the wolf-catching army still didn't stop. What is a thief? Only someone who must die is called a thief.
The sharp long knife fell hard. Even if he put down his weapon and knelt on the ground to pray for mercy, he was still cut off.
The so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites people in a hurry. These things are just a joke in the eyes of the veterans of the wolf-catching army, because if they jump over the wall again, they are still dogs, and if they bite people again, they are still rabbits. The wolf can be caught and killed, and the rabbit can be caught and killed.
What does the dog mean?
The firelight reflected the ferocious and bloodthirsty faces of the wolf-catchers, like evil ghosts.
In order to protect the country and the people, they are willing to turn into life-threatening ghosts, showing the most cruel and bloodthirsty side to their enemies.
Chu Qing finally stabbed a Liangren to death, not by hacking him to death, but by stabbing him to death.
This cold thief appeared from behind. He was unique. His heart must have been on the right side. He was stabbed in the chest on the left side by Ertong. After falling to the ground, he got up again after a while.
Fu Sanhu was in front of Chu Qing, but for some reason, he always turned back subconsciously.
It was this subconscious turning back that promptly reminded Nangong Ping, who was guarding Chu Qing's back.
After all, Nangong Ping was not experienced enough. Although he was guarding the back, his eyes were looking at the front and sides. After the third brother warned him, Chu Qing finally found an opportunity. He opened his shoulder to Nangong Ping and slashed hard with his long knife.
, hit Liang Thief on the shoulder, and then stabbed him again, which was considered the first kill, even though the one he killed was a bloodthirsty one.
"Hahahaha." Chu Qing laughed arrogantly, feeling that he was one step closer to becoming a famous general.
