Chapter 115 Liu Qi's Response Takes Defense as Offense
() 100,000 Cao troops, like wolves and tigers, swarming in, like dark clouds destroying the city. However, no matter how powerful Cao Cao's army is, Liu Qi's Jingzhou army will also go to war. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry has now reached Jingzhou. If we cannot defeat Cao early, we can't defeat Cao.
cao, although Xiangyang City is worry-free in a short period of time, the south of Jingzhou can fall under the iron hoof of Xiliang. In order not to cause Jingzhou to be excessively destroyed by the Xiliang army, Liu Qi could only break Caocao early to solve the problem of Jingnan.
crisis.
The 80,000 troops, the three cavalry, infantry and water armies were completely dispatched by Liu Qi. In this battle, the Jingzhou army used the Xuanxiang Formation as the main formation. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang was not there. Although Zhuge Liang was strategically radical, his tactics were conservative, and his battle was perfect, so he was flawless.
The self-created and improved Bagua Formation once made Sima Yi helpless in history. Otherwise, the eight formations would be arranged here and the chances of winning would be even better. However, Pang Tong was also good, after all, he was a figure comparable to Zhuge Liang. The Xuanxiang Formation he arranged was also very perfect.
The Xuanxiang Formation is more complicated. Unless it is well trained, it can be used freely and has great power, which is equivalent to the cooperation of a large army. With the ability of Pang Tong and Jia Xu, it is no problem to train the army. In just a short time, Jingzhou was allowed to be
The army was familiar with this formation. The crossbow soldiers were in the front formation, retreated after the shelter, the chariot soldiers were on both sides, the long halberds were in the middle formation, and the spears were in the back formation, which focused on wave after wave of attack.
The defensive counterattack is to deal with Cao Cao's Xiliang cavalry. Through combat formations, crossbow soldiers, archers, spears, heavy halberds, chariots and other methods, they can break the unstoppable charge of the Xiliang cavalry. The tactics are mainly attacked, and the battle is
Defensive counterattack.
Liu Qi led his army as the commander-general of Liu Qi's army, Pang Tong as the deputy commander-general, Jia Xu as the military advisor, Yang Yi as the army, Lu Su, Liao Li and others were engaged in it. In name, Liu Qi led the entire army, but Pang Tong was actually commanding it alone.
In the army, after all, the talent of "Feng Chu" is not a fame, but far better than the "Qilin" in Jingzhou.
The entire formation of Liu Qi's army is divided into five parts, namely the front army, the rear army, the left wing, the right wing, and the central army. The entire Xuanxiang formation is oval, extending for ten miles and has enough space to consume the impact speed of the cavalry. And it can
Better defenses come from enemies from all directions, leaving them with no blind spots and weaknesses.
The front formation was a phalanx of two 5,000-man spearmen, standing side by side to defend the enemy. The former general was Wei Yan, who led a phalanx of five,000-man spearmen. General Xu Sheng led another phalanx of spearmen. The front formation was the front
The ravines, horse-resisting and deer antlers arranged were specially prepared for cavalry and formed the first line of defense of Liu Qi's army.
A phalanx of five thousand men, consisting of three lines of defense, the first one is a shield soldier and a heavy halberd soldier. Two people are in a group, which is a thousand groups. One person holds a shield, and one person holds a three-meter heavy halberd, and the shield is
The soldiers squatted in the front half and pressed against the shield tightly. As a pillar, the heavy halberd soldiers put the heavy halberd on the shield. The three-meter-long heavy halberd is a weapon that any cavalry does not want to face. There is a triple-marsole between the shield and the shield.
They are all used to being used to xing. The rope suddenly pulled up where the Cao army cavalry passed by, and the rope tripped the horse's legs and caused the cavalry to fall from the horse forward.
Behind it is a row of hook and sickle spearmen, with about two thousand people. The hook and sickle spear is a long spear with a barb on the tip of the spear. The spear is seven feet and two inches long, of which the spear head is eight inches.
Sharp, with a barb that protrudes laterally at the bottom, and the hook tip is curved inside. The gun rod is six feet long and has a thick and round diameter of four inches. It is made of wood, with iron horns at the end of the rod, which is four inches long. The head of the hook and sickle rifle
Like ordinary spears, they play an assassination role. The side barbs can be used to cut and kill enemies, and they can also hook enemies, effectively preventing enemies from escaping. Although the hooks have the effect of assisting in killing enemies, they also prevent the tip of the gun.
The effect of piercing too deep.
The ancestor of this hooked spear was a halberd. The early halberd had a spear head at the front and a horizontal spear on the side. The only difference between it was the spear on the side was not bent. That is, the halberd's horizontal blade was turned inward.
The bend became a hook and sickle spear. Liu Qi improved the long halberd and turned the long halberd into a hook and sickle spear, which was specially used to deal with the cavalry in the Central Plains. Because Liu Qi's cavalry in the future must be the weak side, it is inevitable that he will encounter the enemy's large number
For a large-scale cavalry team, it is necessary to appear early in the appearance of hook and sickle spear.
In the cavalry army, if they encounter heavy cavalry, they are built with iron armor to wrap all the people and horses, and five cavalry are in a group, and they will never move forward when they are rushing forward, and they will not be able to stop the swords, guns and arrows. If the enemy cavalry breaks through the heavy halberd soldiers, the speed will be certain.
Descend. At that time, the hook and sickle spearmen can take the opportunity to use the hook and sickle spear to hold the enemy's horse legs across. Once pulled, the cavalry's horse legs were broken and there was only the slaughter.
Behind is a spear formation, with more than a thousand people responsible for "replacing the gun". If the fish that escaped the net breaks through here, they will be responsible for dragging the enemy cavalry.
The front was followed by the Central Army, and the central army was Huang Zhong, who was mainly responsible for the crossbow formation. The front army was followed by nine thousand crossbowmen, divided into three battalions. Zhu Ran, Lu Xun and Su Fei were led by crossbows. The crossbows were led by Zhu Ran, Lu Xun and Su Fei respectively.
The array is divided into three columns. The first column is the Zhuge Crossbow Formation with 80 steps, and the commander is Su Fei leading 3,000 troops. This column has the most recent range and is also the column with the largest attack density.
The subsequent one is the Divine Arm Crossbow Camp. The general is Zhu Ran, which is close to the actual combat requirements. During the battle, the entire army kneels down. When the enemy approaches a hundred steps, the Divine Arm archer stands up (this is for distance measurement.
), If you can enter the enemy's formation, the divine arm archers will be launched. When the enemy approaches 70 steps, ask the archers to stand up. If you can enter the enemy's formation, the archers will be launched. When the enemy reaches the horse, the archers will be launched.
The soldiers fought with him. In this way, long-range strike weapons were used to intercept defense layer by layer, weakening the enemy cavalry's ability to maneuver quickly, and making it possible to resist the cavalry in mid-field battles.
Finally, the crossbow formation is a crossbow that pulls the strings with its feet. It is a formation with a larger power than the crossbow that pulls the strings with its hands. It is divided into three rows, from the back to the front, the first row is winded and the second row is on.
Arrows enter the crossbow, and the third row aims at the sheep. When using it, after the third row hits, it passes through the gap between the two rows and returns to the first row behind the body. After the second row enters the crossbow, it enters the sheep state.
, This cycle is repeated and you will gain continuous and intensive long-range strike capabilities. His general is Lu Xun, leading three thousand troops.
The crossbow formation is the core force of Liu Qi's army. The cavalry Liu Qi is not as good as the northern nomadic peoples, so he has to work hard on crossbows. As Liu Qi's strategic weapons, the three types of crossbows have finally come out, as the ultimate force to compete with Cao Cao.
.Although there are many crossbows, the time is limited. If the cavalry and infantry come in, it will not be used for melee combat. The crossbowman is Liu Qi's heartbroken flesh, but he is reluctant to fight by hand.
So Liu Qi asked Huang Zhong to act according to the opportunity. Once the enemy rushes into the crossbow formation, he immediately retreats. As a reserve force, he will use the enemy rushing in at the last moment. The troops behind him will be responsible for the battle.
