Chapter 5648 The Tiger Man is as stable as a mountain
Black Rooster laughed, touched his goatee's beard and said, "It's great. So, the Zhou army basically has no chariots. Do you have to rely on the flesh and blood of infantry to resist the impact of the Shang army's chariots? No matter how powerful the Tiger Benefits are, they are also humans. With human power, how can they resist the impact of the chariots and horses?"
Buying frowned slightly and said, "In fact, if there is enough favorable terrain and preparations are made in advance, such as setting up horse-rejecting horses, trenches, etc., and building camps and fences, it is not impossible to defend chariots. The reason why the impact of war horses is established can effectively defend is to prevent such impact from the enemy. However, the Zhou army is in an offensive state at this time and has no danger to defend. I can't imagine how they can resist chariots on the flat ground."
The ancestor said calmly: "People may think that this is an attack-type force that is like the tiger troops of the Northern Palace Army in the past, which is unstoppable as if the tigers went down a mountain. But in fact, in the ancient pre-Qin period, people were brave and fearless. When they attacked, they were all fierce and fierce. They were all fierce tigers. The real thing to do is not how fierce their attack was, but their discipline, able to maintain the front line and maintain the formation."
"When King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, when he trained these tiger men, he asked them to have ten people in a row, and chose people with basically the same strides to form a row to avoid the distance between them after a marching period due to different heights and steps. They had to stop every seven steps, examine the left and right, and see if they were still moving in unison, and a horizontal line. This is also a basic principle for later generations to train troops and perform queue operations."
Dou Peng suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that this method of training and marching was passed down by Ji Fa. I thought it was created by Sima Fa and Sun Tzu's Art of War."
The ancestor smiled slightly: "These were written in Taigong's Art of War. Because Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya is a very famous old thief, many later generations think that it was created by him. These things in Taigong's Art of War were written to Sun Tzu and Sima Rang and later military corpses, and then they will give you military corpses like you who think it was written in these military books. In fact, it was the method of training created by Ji Fa himself."
Black Rou sneered: "But, can we block the impact of the chariots by relying on the uniform queue and ordering the simultaneous progress? The slaves of the Shang army had strung together with ropes before. Isn't it more strict than taking seven steps to stop and align left and right? Isn't it said that we can block the assault of the Zhou army's chariots by this?"
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, it is impossible to block the chariot with a tight formation, but in addition to the strict formation, if you can place horse-resistance, deer antlers and other things in front of the formation, you can block obstacles, such as stones, corpses, and even damaged chariots, in front of you, and play a role in blocking the impact of the chariot. You can push the chariot and advance with a shield wall, can you effectively resist the chariot assault?"
Dou Peng's face changed and he said, "Did you mean these Tiger and Zhou troops advance forward with various obstacles?"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Yes, on the surface, or from the perspective of the Shang army, they were rows of rows, pushing forward in front several miles wide, several miles long, wearing armor, holding large shields, and holding spears, like an infantry array in a forest. As for the situation behind them, it is impossible to see clearly, because fires are everywhere on the battlefield and gunpowders are everywhere, and there are also various Zhou army wizards who do things, or release wolf smoke to cover up their whereabouts. Behind them, the Shang army knows nothing about what is in the formation."
"So the Shang army's chariot, led by evil, rushed towards the Zhou army's formation. Just less than two hundred steps away from both sides, the Shang army's imperial hands stood up one after another, waved their whips to the front, and pushed the speed of the war horses to the fastest. After the big shield, countless light auxiliary soldiers rushed out. They all carried or carried several people in groups to resist horses and antlers, and nailed these obstacles directly to the ground in front of the formation. Because the gods and wizards of the Zhou army practiced the method of smashing into the ground to fix these obstacles, the nails that could actually land and take root, making these obstacles instantly like fences."
The cloak's brow was locked and he nodded constantly and said, "So that's it. It's like camping on the spot. He had to drive the sharpened wooden stakes into the ground and then string them into a string to fix them. The bottoms of these horses and antlers had already been installed in advance, so that they could penetrate deep into the ground. In this way, the Zhou army was prepared to advance with these obstacles. When the enemy's chariots attacked, they temporarily arranged them on the ground, at a distance of 200 steps, and they did not panic in the face of the full-speed impact of the chariots. Such discipline is really a tiger man."
Hei Rou gritted her teeth: "In the ancient pre-Qin period, there was such discipline, which was really a world of difference from those who could only fight and rush. Ji Fa was really a talented person. He could actually train such a disciplined team. How did this be done?"
The ancestor sighed: "It is similar to the method of whistling in the Huns when they were training in later generations. They required orders to be enforced. Mountain of Tai collapsed in front of them without changing their expression. During training, they were asked to march forward and stop at seven steps. At first, they would be subjected to various military sticks or whipping. Slowly, they would be allowed to train with real bows and arrows, and shot a few steps in front of them. Ji Fa, Zhou Gong, and Zhao Gong, all the leaders of Zhou, personally held their swords and armor, stood in the military formation and practiced with their soldiers. Ji Fa himself also beat military sticks because of his wrong steps. The iron-like discipline was trained, because the Zhou people understood that if the battle with the Shang Dynasty failed, they would be offered as sacrifices to the Shang Dynasty, just like their ancestors and the previous kings."
"Then, the tiger men of the Zhou army could make the chariots rush forward without changing their faces, and the arrows flew over their heads and remained motionless. They were as calm as they were, and even when they stepped onto the battlefield, they regarded themselves as dead. Therefore, in any extreme situation and danger, they could still remain calm and complete various instructions. If they put down the chariots early, the chariots of the chariots might not rush straight towards them. If their movements were a little slower, they could not let go of the chariots and could not form a line of defense, and they would run over the chariots. Therefore, everything was in their control, just like the training thousands of times. When evil came, their chariots rushed to the front of the formation thirty steps, they faced a line of defense composed of the entire chariots and deer antlers, as well as a wooden fence that penetrated deep into the ground!"
