Chapter 2123 Zhu Wu and Xi Sheng, this is not only a big formation, but also a road gate
The infantry of the Qi Dynasty marched forward in an orderly manner, making a rumbling clang of armor. The soldiers in the front row holding large shields and spears were already arranged in a compact and dense formation. As the commanding general shouted, "Boom!"
There was a heavy crashing sound, and the rigorously arranged military warriors quickly raised their forest-like spears and poked out from the gaps in the large shields connected by Fangzi, as if countless weapons suddenly appeared on the solid barrier.
Steel barbs form a solid spear array.
At this time, the Qi Dynasty's infantry of heavy infantry, light infantry, archers, crossbowmen and other types of arms had been roughly arranged into three square formations, and the various military formations in the formation also changed as the formations changed.
It can leave passages extending in all directions. What's even more exaggerated is that the towering watchtower carts are slowly being pushed, and they have already arrived at the center of the formation. The watchtowers are equipped with long spears, powerful crossbows, hard bows, swords and shields...
Even the infantry with various types of weapons such as bed crossbows are arranged in dense layers on top of each other. The weapons reflect the sunlight and reflect the scales of Dao Senhan. There are dozens of teams and hundreds of people.
Around and behind the infantry formation in the center, the army with mainly light cavalry and heavy cavalry has probably been arranged in formation, whether it is wearing equipment and horse armor, or the turbulent nose of the majestic military cavalry showing the shiny tendons.
The sounds also came one after another, and the armored knights with heavy weapons such as horse poles, long axes, halberds, and machetes hung on the victory hooks of their saddles were all ready to go.
There are also soldiers riding archers and horse saddles, and the arrow pots carried behind them are densely packed with chisel arrows, wolf-tooth arrows, broad-headed arrows... They all have bows in their hands, although they have not reached out yet.
Behind the shoulders, the quiver slung across the body was ready to be placed on the string. However, these military athletes who were good at riding and shooting also set their sights on the large formation of the Western Liao Army that had also assembled in the distance, ready to move.
Waiting for the military order to be issued, you have to gallop out and send rounds of arrows towards the enemy...
This is actually based on the formation of the Ping Rong Ten Thousand Formation created by the army of the Qi Dynasty at the Song Dynasty with the intention of "defeating the sharpness of the sudden attack, understanding the power of the strong and heavy, following the Ming and gathering the facts, knowing that the divine plan is there"
The improved formation.
When Yelu Dashi on the opposite side also climbed up to the watchtower surrounded by a group of imperial followers, looking at the seemingly endless Qi Dynasty army on the opposite side, arranged in an orderly formation inside and outside, he was slightly startled. After only a moment,
There was a contemptuous smile on his face.
The formation of tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers is deceptive, but is it not exactly the military formation that Song Taizong Zhao Jiong created against the Liao Dynasty? Before the Song Dynasty broke the contract and united with the Jin Dynasty to destroy our country, although the Liao and Song Dynasties
There has been no war for a hundred years, but when Zhao Jiong coveted the land of Yanyun and launched a large-scale Northern Expedition, he also arranged such large formations. After several battles in Jinfu and Gaoliang River, what happened afterwards? And the Song Dynasty's formations recorded by our dynasty
How could I not know the tactics of war?
However, the formation of troops does not have to be complicated. In fact, it is a necessary means to ensure that the various arms can cooperate reasonably and teach the soldiers to maintain the formation during the offensive and defensive advance and retreat, so as not to invest more than tens of thousands of people.
On such a scale, the war evolved into a melee with no control and direction, just a swarm of swarms killing each other.
Of course, the various military formations within the Pingrong and Ten Thousand Formations cooperate closely with each other, and you cannot rush in rashly, otherwise you may be easily strangled. However, the essence of this formation is to focus on defense, and it is complicated.
Because the large number of soldiers and horses gathered is not conducive to flexible dispatch and response, and even if the Qi Dynasty is not as short of horses as the Song Dynasty was at the beginning, the rear, left wing, right wing and other cavalry formations that defend the formation still have the ability to gallop and fight.
Mobility, the formation arranged in this way not only makes it difficult for the infantry and cavalry to coordinate with each other, but also allows our army to seize the initiative.
Even if our army cannot defeat the Chinese army's main formation, which is built like an iron sword, it is still enough to wear out the Qi Dynasty's cavalry-based army. Even if the entire formation is tightly arranged,
The momentum is spectacular, but if the confrontation lasts for a long time, flaws will inevitably be revealed sooner or later. This formation is difficult to flexibly adapt to changes. Once its weak point is breached, it is difficult to adjust the formation in time. It is also bound to fall into chaos. What will happen then?
situation?
It can only be that the army was defeated like a mountain. The entire formation of Pingrong seemed like a giant basalt beast with a huge body and wrapped in an iron shell. But once a hole was cut out by the iron shell, this heavy and heavy beast with a huge body and quick movements would
The giant beast is like a tortoise without a shell, but where can it escape?
In other words... Xiao Tang was worried about his own safety, and he wanted to keep the central formation tight first, thinking that a few cavalry troops would be enough to fight against our army? Of course, he is by no means a mediocre person who is ignorant of military affairs. Zhemo
Now that the Jin Dynasty has been conquered, the Song Dynasty has been conquered, and the Central Plains has been dominated. I think I am now the most powerful person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. As a hero, my courage and courage... have inevitably been greatly diminished?
...Do I really overestimate you?
However, on the watchtower in the center of the Qi army's formation on the opposite side, there was an important minister who originally served in the Privy Council of the Qi Dynasty wearing a cloud crown. Although he now held a senior official position, he still wore a crown on his waist.
He wielded two swords, and the cuffs of his Taoist uniform with cut palm leaves were fluttering in the wind. Zhu Wu, the divine machine strategist, looked at the large formations arranged in Xiliao on the opposite side, and then looked around, seeing that the formations below were arranged according to his own deployment.
The fierce generals and soldiers of the various tribes had a confident look on their faces that was beyond words.
After all, this was Zhu Wu who had given Xiao Tang an important task. After the previous military discussions, he had presided over the largest military formation in his life. How could he not be full of pride? And he was proficient in all kinds of formations and was best at long platoons.
How could a military strategist who was a master of military formations not know the advantages and disadvantages of various formations in the past dynasties?
Now according to His Majesty's plan, I am going to deploy this large formation of civilians and soldiers. I didn't originally intend to use this infantry formation to defeat your army. However, after setting up the formation like this, I naturally have to wait and see what the outcome will be.
The position of the formation, and there are other back-up moves.
Zhu Wu thought in his heart, and then looked back at the position behind him where more than 1,400 chariots were supposed to be placed in each square formation according to the method of the formation of tens of thousands of soldiers. However, at this time, they were tightly blocked by all the soldiers.
The guards were surrounded and all were wrapped in oilcloth. Even if the Xiliao generals looked up in the distance, they still couldn't see what was going on. But behind the Pingrong Wanquan step formation, the Qi Dynasty was gathering under pressure.
The number of elite cavalry is larger, but today they don't seem to be the main offensive force. It seems that they are still waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack, and they have another great use...
When Zhu Wu turned around, he and Xi Sheng, who was also good at arranging troops, looked at each other. He saw Medicine Master Xi holding a sword at his waist.
On the hilt of the sword, the other hand was holding the command flag, and the expression on his face was also high-spirited. Zhu Wu and Xi Sheng looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and nodded vigorously to each other.
On another watchtower nearby, Xiao Tang, accompanied by Yan Qing, stood with a sword. He looked across the way and saw that the Xiliao army had also formed a formation, and he thought in his heart: Although now
We meet old acquaintances, but since you, Yelu Dashi, and I are bound to eradicate each other, there is no need to talk nonsense anymore, just start fighting. Even if your Western Liao Empire, Yelu Dashi, conquers other countries now, your fortune will be at its peak...
I want to see if the armies from various countries you have summoned can survive four days!
After Xiao Tang thought in his mind, he raised his right hand and pointed directly at the sky. Then he used his palm as a knife and slashed downward with force, and immediately revealed a murderous aura!
The loud sound of trumpets immediately sounded in the entire Pingrong and Ten Thousand Formations, and at the same time, the war drums were beaten and made a roaring sound. On the opposite side, Yelv Dashi snorted coldly when he saw this, and also gave an order decisively, and the soldiers headed by Xiliao
The majestic and desolate horn horns of the various military formations of the state also sounded one after another, and then the thunderous sound of horse hooves became more and more intense again. According to the imperial decrees of the emperors and commanders of Xiaotang and Yelu Dashi, they were the first to launch an attack on the enemy.
The attacking elite military brigade also immediately started moving!
