Spring and Autumn I Am King

Qi Wan's head went numb.

Only when we get to the real battlefield, do we know that there are really all kinds of sounds here, screaming, crying father and mother, swords rubbing, shields colliding...

"Puff puff puff", this is the sound of the arrow hitting the leather armor. The weaker force can only break a stab of it, and the strong force can penetrate into the flesh, which hurts deeply.

Qi Wan also took a few hits, but he couldn't care less. After a huge gap appeared on the other side, the **** chief Mu Xia rushed over with a loud shout, and Qi Wan and the others only knew that they were stunned and followed the **** chief!

He heard the **** commander say that the brigade commander defined the spearmen as "battlefield road rollers". Although he had never heard the term, the general meaning was nothing more than forming a dense horizontal formation to push and advance.

The positioning of the sword and shield hand is the sword that pierces the weak part of the opponent. They form a dense column, five columns and ten rows, the front row is dead and the rear row is on the top. The meaning of their existence on the battlefield is to meet the enemy in short battle , Concentrate on a breakthrough!

The deep sword and shield players were like hot blades that cut through the ointment, and they easily broke through the thin two columns of Qi people, rushed into the center of the array, and sequenced the Qi people who were on the verge of collapse. Turn the sky upside down.

Just like in training, sword and shield players are mostly fighting on their own, and they don't have the same high requirements as geese and spear players. Although Qi Wan's head was numb, his movements were not affected. He dodged deftly under the arm of a tall spear-wielding enemy, then crouched down, raised his shield against his leg, and thrust the sword diagonally upward, into the enemy's groin, rib, or stab. Go straight to the point through the chest.

The killing is going on, and if the sword and shield players find that some enemy is protecting these parts of their body, they will cut off the tendons of the enemy's knee or ankle, just like when they were trained. toss them to the ground. Then roared and pierced their shields, causing the enemy to let out a shriek like a beast's dying neigh.

The two wings of the front were caught in a melee after the sword and shield hand rushed in, as for the central position. The situation is different.

After strengthening the two wings, Zhao Wuxi faced the four rows of twenty-five spearmen in front of him. There are five times the number of Qi people, and the formation is more strict, and there are ten chariots that came first, wanting to scare them away!

After the Wuya Brigade issued the order to concentrate its troops to attack the center of the enemy, Sima of Linqiu took the lead and rode the chariot in person. Ten heavy chariots flew around and began to run towards the weak center of the enemy!

But what he didn't expect was that. After noticing the movement of the chariot, the central spearman of the military **** gradually slowed down, and stopped suddenly when the two sides were forty paces away, leaving only the left and right flanks to continue to deepen.

Yi Sima on the chariot thought that the opponent was afraid, and overjoyed, he even accelerated the charge with his whip.

But at the rear, the Wuya Brigade, who can see the whole situation, is terrified. Is this intentional or the left and right command is ineffective, what are they going to do?

"Two or three sons, set up a spear!"

Wu Ya Brigade didn't have time to think about it, but heard the armored coach on the opposite side shout. Afterwards, the back row of the Ge spearmen filled up the two or three gaps caused by the casualties caused by the arrows. They were on one knee, their left leg stretched forward, their shields resting on their shoulders. The spear in his hand was heavily stuck on the ground, the tip of the spear pointed diagonally forward, and the left flank and the central front were like a protective fence of thorns.

Ten military chariots rolled up the smoke and rushed to the front of the spear formation. The galloping horse looked at the sharp spear tip with frightened eyes, and instinctively stopped. Because of inertia, one of the imperial guards and one of Rong Zuo screamed and were thrown out. The two of them directly inserted the spear diagonally upward, penetrated the body, and died tragically.

The horse was reluctant to go, and no longer moved despite the whiplash. The ten military vehicles were so embarrassingly parked in the middle of the two armies, in a dilemma.

The central Qiren array had to bypass the ten military vehicles that were blocking the way. Their original neat formation also dissipated.

When they rushed to the front of the military pawn, the other party had already withdrawn the spear. The same dense formation as the left- and right-wing spearmen was formed: the pawns were close together, the shields were pressed against the shields, and the chariots that protected the brigade commander behind him were raised high, and the arrows were nailed on it. The thumping sound could not make them move half a step.

This unmoving posture blocked the first attack of the Qi people's armored soldiers, the shield and the shield collided, and the spears stabbed into the opponent's formation respectively. The viscous blood on the front started to be stirred, people kept falling, and the soldiers kept attrition, but miraculously they did not collapse, just because of their brigade commander, their gentleman was still standing behind!

But it's only a matter of time before five hundred people crush the military pawns in front of them, and there may be some casualties, but the final victory belongs to the Qi people.

"Quickly rush over!" Wu Yalu was overjoyed, but when he turned his head, he found that his left and right wings were collapsing. With 500 men on each wing, it was incredible to be defeated so quickly in the face of an enemy with twice the number.

The people standing on the city wall of Zhenyi could see the entire battlefield, and they could see the whole process: the large shield armored soldiers who were lined up in two columns were shot by three salvos of arrows, and they also endured a 5-column phalanx of swords and spears. Pushing and shoving, followed by a high-speed attack by a sword and shield hand with a depth of 10 columns, has been completely destroyed.

Behind the Qi people were the soldiers and archers who had neither armor nor shields. After the sword and shield fighters rushed in, they were thrown into chaos. In addition, the crossbowmen flanked and moved, while blazing crossbow arrows in batches. , the diamond formation of light cavalry on the right flank swept behind them.

Under the attack from all sides, the Qi people's formation was completely disrupted. Not surprisingly, the Qi people's left wing collapsed first, the front fell to the ground and died, and the hundreds of people at the back exploded their nests. The right wing followed closely, and they fled the way they came. Even the commander-in-chief of the other side, the Wuya Brigade of Linqiu, was forced to evacuate the army car, and it was too late to support the flag.

"Failed, defeated!" All Qi people shouted in despair.

Whether what happened next was planned or happened naturally, the people on the wall did not know, but the soldiers on both flanks gave up their pursuit of the enemy, but began to turn diagonally, attacking from the side at the same time. Qiren's flanks and rear, which are attacking the weak central position of the military pawns.

When the two flanks of the military pawns merged into one, the battle was nearing its end. Under the protection of Tian Ben's shield, Zhao Wuxi watched the hundreds of Qi people kneeling and surrendering unharmed, surrounded by the approaching weapons of various colors.

The pawns won, and they won the final victory in this "Battle of Zhen".

From the moment the two sides met at a distance, the battle lasted only two moments before it came to an end.

The pursuit is carried out by sword and shield hands and light knights. One hundred people drove seven or eight hundred people to run away, and the Wu Ya brigade, who fled with the Qi people, felt helpless, but had already lost the courage to gather the remnants of the army to turn around and counterattack.

He was suddenly curious. How did the young brigade commander on the opposite side, who was much younger than him, train such a strong soldier. It is simply the reincarnation of Sima Rangju!

The remaining 400 people in the Qi people's center were all taken prisoners. They were escorted by the spearmen and crossbowmen and stood outside the Zhenyi wall, lined up to wait for Zhao Wuxi's inspection.

This is also a deterrent to the Wei people at both ends of the first mouse in Zhenyi.

Under the deterrence of Zhang Mengtan's leadership, there was no change in Zhenyi. The patriarchs and elders of the Zhen clan who witnessed the whole battle were so frightened that their faces paled. The smell of blood was blown here by the wind, making them Many people threw up their food.

When Zhao Wuxi supported the carriage rail and dragged the flag discarded by the Qi people into Zhenyi, Zhen Zhongxun and the clans, merchants, and guards in the city were all crawling on the ground by the door! Knee-line congratulations to the shirtless.

"The commander of the brigade defeated the invasion of Qi Kou. Keep the clan in our city safe, and the people of the whole city are here to thank you!"

Unlike the speculator image who couldn't be convinced a few days ago, Zhao Wuxi truly conquered this city today!

Zhang Mengtan also brought everyone to greet Zhao Wuxi, who returned. After reporting the situation in the city, Cheng Tuan, who did not know much about combat, asked the following question:

"There are many Qi people, but I am few; Qi people have been fighting veterans for a long time, but I recruit more new soldiers; Qi people are on the territory of the allies, but I am in the territory of the enemy country, and the people are not close or attached, like walking on thin ice. Although it is expected that the enemy will come first But the advantage is not great at the time of the war, so how could Zitai easily defeat the enemy three times as big?"

Just now, Zhao Wushi faced an approaching army of Qi people five times his size. He let the arrow hit his bronze jacket and made a tinkling sound, and he didn't retreat half a step, but now I'm still in a cold sweat when I think about it.

Any war is a gamble with one's life. Now that Cheng Tuan asked this question, he thought of many reasons.

In the Central Plains, Bank of China Muzi and Wei Xianzi, as well as Sima Rangju, invented the dense phalanx of infantry almost at the same time, making the battle a collective battle. Sun Wu in the south brought this method to the extreme of the times.

The united infantry is no longer a scattered and disordered individual, but a collective fighting that cooperates and supports each other. Such a phalanx showed its value in the Battle of Dayuan and the Battle of Baiju. same amount. Even the inferior Jin and Wu troops, organized in a dense phalanx, proved to be more powerful than the Rong and Chu troops who fought loosely.

This kills the individuality of the soldiers. The reform that emphasizes coordinated operations is a major advance in the military, and the same number of soldiers go hand in hand. A well-ordered and dense phalanx will inevitably defeat the scattered and chaotic soldiers.

Zhao Wuxi was looking back at the ancient battlefield of Chengpu ten days ago, and he had an idea and learned Xianzhen's tactics. He turned the originally equally divided left, center, and right three formations into weakening the center, strengthening the two flanks, especially the right flank, in order to attract the enemy's main force with the center, and the two flanks completed the first breakthrough, thus defeating the enemy in one fell swoop!

After all, in today's battle, they are better than the use of tactics, which is what people call "war situation".

The reason why the turbulent water can float the boulder is because it produces the potential energy of huge impact; the bird of prey fights against the bird, which can kill the opponent in one fell swoop, because it has mastered the space-time position that is most conducive to the explosion of impact, and the rhythm is fast.

It is precisely because of the use of tactics in war that war has become an art, so that the number of troops and the strength of equipment are no longer the only conditions that determine the outcome of war. The outcome of the war will be determined by both spiritual and material forces.

As a freshly released commander, Zhao Wuxi's ideas were only made clear after the actual combat, and it still needs to be summed up to make it clear. Therefore, his answer to Cheng Tuan was a bit simple:

"This victory is based on the situation of the war. In the final analysis, it is just a right fit and a strange victory."

...

In the far south, in the martial arts field outside the city of Suzhou, the sturdy Wu Guo phalanx was practicing the way of battle formation outside the house.

In the dry-column-style building adjacent to the water, a middle-aged man with a medium stature and a plain appearance is sitting on the head. It can be seen that he is an old soldier who has been dancing swords and bows for a long time.

This unremarkable "old military official" is currently teaching a class to the Wu people who are sitting on the ground in front of him. Wu language.

"Today we are talking about the battle situation. The battle situation is not just right. It is just right, it is won by oddity, and the change of the righteousness is impossible to defeat the poor. Prince, do you understand?"

In the front row of the lower seat is a handsome young man with the typical short hair of the Wu people. His eyes are full of wildness and pride, the bridge of his nose is straight and straight, and he has a sagittal beard on his lips. ~www.wuxiahere.com~ When bowing heavily to the commander, the young man revealed the blue-black dragon tattoo on his arm.

"What the grandson said, Fuchai knows!"

Fu Jian issued a tattoo, and the left side of his arm was wrong, and the people of Ouyue were also. Black-toothed engraving, the Kingdom of Great Wu also——
