According to Xu Chu's understanding of Dian Wei, when the second drum sounds before the battle, Dian Wei is bound to launch an attack.
He admitted that the formation of the Tiger Guards was very beautiful and very neat. But what could it do if it was beautiful and neat? Fighting relies on dexterity and bravery. The Tiger Guards have experienced hundreds of battles, especially those who have just experienced Huyang County.
After the big victory, my confidence was at full strength.
Not to mention Dian Wei, even when faced with Jin, Cao Ren, Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan's tribe, Xu Chu still had the confidence to bite them hard.
The drums beat suddenly and urgently, but the tiger and soldiers remained motionless.
The cool breeze in autumn is refreshing, but the sun is still very fierce. Many people standing in the shade feel a little hot, not to mention the tiger soldiers wearing armor and standing in the middle of the school grounds?
Cao Cao got up from the couch!
There was a hint of surprise in those eyes.
"Jun Ming, how can you be so calm in practice?"
No matter how the Hu Guards changed their formations, the Tiger Guards never responded.
The soldiers stood in the formation one by one, like statues, without making any sound. The drums were rumbling, and the shouts of killing were loud on one side, but there was silence on the other side. But the silent side gave people an inexplicable fear.
.Like...a mountain? That kind of silence moved everyone present. Especially Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and others all stood up.
Cao Cao was originally thinking about Dian Wei's three hundred cavalry army, but suddenly seeing this situation, he temporarily forgot about the cavalry army.
There is a vague feeling!
Dian Wei's Tiger and Ben army, which he had cobbled together for only two months, could not bring him any surprises.
And Xu Chu was slightly moved...
Unmoving, like a mountain!
Guo Jia suddenly remembered something.
Xun Yu once told him that day that Dian Wei's method of training troops was derived from several pictures of Cao Peng.
At that time, Guo Jia didn't pay much attention. Later, he heard that Dian Wei was very disciplined in his military training, and he thought it was Deng Ji who was helping with the drills.
But the soldiers and horses in front of them obviously have a kind of soul integrated into them!
He couldn't explain clearly, but Guo Jia knew that this was definitely not something Deng Ji could give him.
Subconsciously, Guo Jia looked to the side building. Although Cao Cao's main building was in the middle, Guo Jia could still detect that Cao Peng was smiling and nodding.
"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain."
Cao Peng smiled and said to Cao Hong: "Uncle, are Dian Zhonglang's troops worthy of a battle?"
Cao Hong nodded, "Zhongkang will be in trouble today..."
Time passed little by little, and the sun became more and more fierce. After Xu Chu tested several times in succession, he also saw the strength of the Tiger Guard Army. But the Tiger Guard Army was a little chaotic! Xu Chu was also very strict in managing the army. But the Tiger Guard Army,
Most of them are descendants of the Xu clan, so they are somewhat arrogant. When things go smoothly, the Tiger Guards sweep through everything like a violent storm; but if they encounter a stalemate, they lose a little patience. Sometimes, the battlefield
You can't help but have to fight for resourcefulness, bravery, reaction, and patience.
This is a kind of temperament that cannot be created in a short time.
Xu Chu was an impatient person. With his impatience, even the horse under his crotch began to get restless, not to mention the people around him.
"Zhongkang, attack!"
Xu Ding was a little impatient... On the one hand, Xu Chu's reluctance to attack made Xu Ding impatient; on the other hand, the calmness shown by the tiger and Ben army on the opposite side made Xu Ding feel a little unnoticeable fear.
He couldn't explain clearly, and at the same time he felt even more ashamed! How could his brother, the tiger-mad brother, who was also the number two figure in the Tiger Guard, feel panic at such a time?
"Uncle, please attack."
All the generals around asked for battle.
Xu Chu gritted his teeth, drew his sword and struck hard in the air.
"Tiger Guard, trapped!"
As he shouted, the war drums beat in unison.
But this time, not only the war drums of the Tiger Guards were sounding, but also the war drums of the Tiger Guards.
Dian Wei nodded slightly on his horse. Cao Xiu, who was beside him, immediately raised his hand, with his palm facing outward and the back of his palm facing in, and pushed forward three times.
It was during these three pushes that the Tiger and Ben army moved!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The eight hundred spearmen of the central army attacked at the same time, taking three steps forward.
Eight hundred people, one thousand six hundred legs, as neatly as one person. When those eight hundred feet landed at the same time, a roar echoed in the school grounds, faintly suppressing the sound of war drums. The spears in their hands were raised at an angle at the same time, and the spear heads were
Facing outward, it is as flat as a horizontal plane without any ups and downs.
This is a queue exercise for later generations.
Whether you are a soldier or a police officer, you will definitely have experienced this kind of drill.
There are very strict requirements for the distance taken by each step and the swing of each arm. The training of the police may not be as neat as that of the army, but the principle is the same. This kind of queue drill is not only for training coordination and
A sense of honor, but also a strong emphasis on discipline. For these three steps, Dian Wei spent a full month, and with the collaboration of Xia Houheng and Cao Xiu, the Tiger Ben Army took shape.
Don't underestimate this kind of training, not every army can do it.
First of all, your general must be able to suppress the elite soldiers in the army. This cannot be achieved simply by sharing the joys and sorrows. You do not have enough prestige and authority to subdue these elite soldiers drawn from various ministries.
All elites must be unruly... Even if you are a relative of the emperor and have no prestige or tyrannical strength, you can't even think of making these 1,500 elite soldiers bow their heads to you.
Dian Wei is exactly the kind of warrior who can shock these warriors.
Although Xia Houheng and Cao Xiu are not famous enough, they have status. One is Xia Houyuan's son and Cao Cao's niece-in-law; the other is Cao Cao's nephew, known as 'my family's thousand-mile horse'. These two people, together with
Shangdian Wei Ji is famous, so who dares to disapprove?
The movement of the Tiger Army caused a series of exclamations from the school grounds.
Cao Cao subconsciously clenched the railing, with a faint smile on his face.
"You are wise and have the air of a general."
Taking three steps forward, the murderous aura that hit his face caused the Tiger Guards to panic.
Previously, the Huben Army was at its peak, but it did not reveal any murderous intent. It was a restrained and implicit murderous intent. Once it broke out, it would be particularly terrifying.
Seeing this situation, Xu Chu became anxious!
"Attack, Tiger Guards attack!"
At this time, if the Tiger Guards do not attack, once the Tiger Guards take action, they are likely to be defeated.
Lose, okay...
But I will never allow a defeat to occur.
In this situation, the best way is to attack.
Use fighting to resolve fear...Xu Chu believed that as long as the two sides met at one point, the beautiful formation of the Huben Army would immediately become chaotic.
Eight hundred Tiger Guards rushed towards Huben with shouts.
Like a black torrent, rushing forward.
But just as the Tiger Guards launched their charge, Cao Xiu suddenly shouted, "The tiger is as fierce as a mountain!"
The eight hundred spearmen immediately stopped advancing. At the same time, amid the rapid beating of drums, they all lowered their waists slightly at the same time, forming an arched shape with their spears still raised diagonally, in a defensive posture.
"Mountain, mountain, mountain..."
The spearman roared.
Dian Wei looked at Xia Houheng, what he meant was: Do you want to attack?
Xia Houheng shook his head, "The Tiger Guard is not in chaos yet, and the cone is sharp. It should focus on defense. General, don't worry, just wait and see."
Dian Wei was only in charge of the central army, and Cao Xiu and Xia Houheng took the lead in daily drills.
Since Xia Houheng said this, he would naturally not object.
When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, ten Xia Houheng are no match for Dian Wei. But when it comes to mastering combat opportunities and changing formations, twenty Dian Wei are no match for Xia Houheng.
At this time, the Huben army was as calm as a mountain.
The black torrent hits the towering mountains. Although the water flow is strong, it cannot topple the mountains.
"one!"
Cao Xiu rode his horse and roared.
The spearmen in the front row suddenly stood upright, retracted their spears, and stood upright. The spearmen of the Tiger Guard who rushed at the front thrust their spears. However, they saw the spear in Hu Ben's hand, leaning against the spear that was thrust towards him.
The side collapsed. This is called "knocking" in marksmanship. Before the Tiger Guards could react, the second row of spearmen raised their spears diagonally, swept them sideways, and opened the spear heads. Then the three rows of spearmen stepped forward.
, thrust out with a spear.
Knock, sweep, stab!
Three actions, used by three people, are performed as if by one person.
While the spearmen of the third row thrust out, they rushed to the front with their spears upright, knocking against the opponent's spears. Then the spearmen of the first row swept forward, and the spearmen of the second row stepped forward.
Assassinate, then detain again...and so on.
Three rows of spearmen were interlaced, advancing and retreating as if they were one person.
The Tiger Guards are indeed fierce, but when fighting, they often face a one versus three situation.
In the small space of the school grounds, they couldn't take any advantage. Judging from the strength of both sides in the battle, they were even. But locally, the Tiger Guards always had a numerical disadvantage. Fortunately, it was a martial arts exercise, so the spears were all
Use hardwood poles instead.
Otherwise, the Tiger Guards will inevitably suffer heavy casualties...
"What kind of formation is this?"
Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaimed.
Seeing the tiger and battalion troops advancing and retreating, the eight hundred people were in uniform order without any disorder.
Amidst the rumbling drums and shouts, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.
The other generals in the watchtower were dazzled by the orderly and uniform fighting of the Tigers and Guards. Which of these people has not experienced hundreds of battles? But when have they ever seen these eight hundred people fighting like one person?
?For a moment, everyone fell into silence.
If I lead an attack, can I win?
The same question appeared in the minds of Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others.
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!"
Cao Ren was the first to react and summoned his followers: "With my name, I will send you to Huben Mansion immediately. I told you that after the martial arts performance, I would invite you to drink at Yuxiu Tower."
As the most adept at military training among the Cao clan, Cao Ren was keenly aware of the extraordinary nature of Dian Wei's military training methods...
"Brother!" The young man who had been sitting next to Cao Ren stood up and said, "I'd better go there in person to show my sincerity."
This young man's name is Cao Chun, also named Zihe, and he is Cao Ren's younger brother.
Since Cao Cao launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, Cao Chun has followed Cao Cao in the north and south. Now, as Yilang, he joins Sikong Military and is also a member of Cao Cao's highly valued general named Cao. Cao Chun is three years younger than Cao Ren, and is only 10 years old.
Twenty-five, I like to fight on horseback, and my best skill is the art of running... The reason why Cao Chun volunteered was because he actually had his own ideas. Since Cao Cao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and after seeing the power of the Xiliang cavalry, he has always had an idea, that is
Formed a cavalry army that was more valiant than the Xiliang cavalry army.
Previously, due to the lack of horses in the Central Plains, Cao Cao did not have a large number of cavalry troops, so he had not taken any action.
Nowadays, Cao Cao occupies the land of three states, and Guanzhong, which is connected to the Western Regions, is in chaos. In the past, the sale of war horses to the Central Plains has gradually been liberalized.
This made Cao Cao reconsider the idea of forming an elite cavalry army.
Cao Chun is the most trusted clan member around Cao Cao, and of course he understands Cao Cao's thoughts. In fact, Cao Chun also hopes to form such a cavalry army and establish achievements. After seeing the cavalry equipment of the Huben Army, Cao Chun immediately noticed
It turns out that those equipments are likely to be a qualitative leap in the method of cavalry warfare. Previously, there were many innate restrictions on building an elite cavalry army.
Horses, of course, need no introduction.
The requirements for riders are also very strict. If your riding skills are not good, how can you fight on horseback?
This is also one of the main reasons why many princes have Hu people participating in the cavalry armies. Hu people, whether they are Huns, Xianbei people, or Qiang people, slaughter the elite soldiers... Born in the grassland, on horseback
When he grew up, his riding skills were superb, far beyond those of the Central Plains people. There were also those Central Plains people who were good at riding, but they were in the minority after all. The Central Plains was not like the Mobei Great Wall, and the Hu people had innate advantages.
But what if...
Cao Chun smiled and said: "Brother, Jun Ming was in danger last time, but he really got a treasure.
I hate that this guy has turned evil... He has so many good treasures in his hands, but he never talks about them with us. If he hadn't performed martial arts today, I don't know how long he would have been hiding. My lord has wanted to build a master to ride a tiger and leopard for a long time.
Jun Ming has really made a great contribution this time."
"I heard that Aman is already sixteen?"
Cao Chun was startled and nodded, "Well, it's just past sixteen."
Cao Ren gently twirled his beard and pondered for a long time: "A Yuan is already an adult, and I am trying to find a relative for her. Do you think it is possible?"
Ayuan, whose name is Cao Yuan, is the daughter of Cao Ren. She is thirteen years old.
In ancient times, women matured very early, and it was common for them to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.
Cao Chun smiled, "Aman is a good kid, with good skills and a kind temperament. Junming's family are also honest people. It would be a good thing for Ayuan to marry him. But brother, it's best to do this
Report it to the lord, and if the lord comes forward to make the case, it will definitely succeed."
"In this case, you go to Huben Mansion, and I will go find the lord."
Cao Ren and Cao Chun walked down the watchtower together.
In the school grounds, the Tiger Guards were retreating steadily.
At first, the Tiger Guards were still able to resist. But as the drumbeat of the Tiger Guards got faster and faster, the Tiger Guards' march also accelerated.
Like an overwhelming force, the Tiger Guards were simply unable to resist.
Xu Chu remembered howling, and at this moment, he seemed to understand what Xu Yi told him that night...
"Sword and shield soldiers, sword and shield soldiers attack, piercing through both sides."
Xu Chu gave an order, and four hundred soldiers with swords and shields on both sides attacked at the same time.
At the same time, Xia Houheng smiled.
"General, you can order the sword and shield soldiers to intersperse the spear soldiers and the cavalry to attack."
Dian Wei nodded and waved his hand.
At this time, Dian Wei was absolutely enjoying himself.
From beginning to end, he almost didn't speak. He just made a few moves, and the Tiger Guards, who had always been regarded as the enemy, were wiped out in front of him. Is there anything in this world that can be compared to feather fans and silk scarves, and cannons and oars being wiped out in smoke while talking and laughing?
What kind of things can be more pretending and cool?
Ha, Ah Fu is indeed my lucky star...
Cao Xiu's face was cold, and after stretching out his arms, he closed them in the middle.
The sword and shield soldiers on both sides immediately began to concentrate towards the center. At the same time, the cavalry accelerated again with the sound of drums, roaring and rushing towards the sword and shield soldiers.
The tiger and ben cavalry troops all wore short bows and long swords.
First there was a burst of rapid fire, and after getting close to the Tiger Guard swordsman, he drew his sword and rushed over.
In the past, there were no stirrups or saddles, so the cavalry army mostly focused on raiding and harassing people. The requirements for riding and shooting were too high, and not ordinary people could do it.
Now that we have these two treasures, the situation is naturally different.
The cavalry can use the impact of their horses to chop with their swords.
It is also the long sword used by the Tiger Guard Army, all wrapped with hardwood. Otherwise, if the sword is struck, the man will use the power of the horse, and the horse will use the manpower, it can cut the person in half. After rushing into the Tiger Guard sword and shield soldiers, seven feet
The long knife chops continuously. When the opponent is close, the rider can also kick the opponent's head with his feet. This is the use of stirrups, making the rider more flexible on the horse...
The Tiger Guards have seen this kind of attack before. In the blink of an eye, the formation is scattered.
"Cavalry, charge with cavalry!"
Xu Ding roared, urged his horse and rushed out.
The three hundred cavalry behind them immediately moved upon hearing the wind, thundering with iron hooves, and swept towards the Tiger and Ben army.
However, the Tiger Guard Cavalry's attack... was obviously too late!
As the Tiger Guard swordsmen attacked, the Tiger Guard spearmen had already escaped from the battlefield, set up a spear formation, and stopped the Tiger Guard Cavalry!
Xu Chu's cheek twitched violently, holding on to the handle of the knife, he tried to kill several times.
At this moment, only the clang clang clang... the rapid sound of the gong was heard.
That's the signal to withdraw troops!
Cao Cao watched with satisfaction as the two armies separated from the stalemate, his eyes full of smiles.
"Kihito!"
"Here!"
"Please come, everyone Cao."
Dong Zhao immediately understood what Cao Cao was thinking, turned around and walked towards the side building.
As he walked, Dong Zhao murmured: It seems that my lord is preparing to make great use of Cao Ji!
"Master Cao, my lord invites Master Cao to the main building."
Cao Jizheng was beaming when he saw it. He was happier than anyone else when Dian Wei won... because of the relationship between Dian Wei and him, and because this victory was also mixed with his efforts, how could Cao Ji not be happy?
What? Cao Ji was still startled when he heard that Cao Cao was going to summon him. He felt extremely nervous in his heart! He stood up tremblingly, straightened his clothes, and followed Dong Zhao into the main building.
On the school grounds, there is a small school cleaning up the battlefield.
In the brief confrontation just now, the Tiger and Ben soldiers wounded about eighty people.
The losses of the Tiger Guards... were extremely heavy. Almost all of the 800 spearmen were wiped out, and less than half of the 400 swordsmen were lost. The cavalry suffered the least casualties, losing more than 80 people. One of them was killed.
Xu Ding, the commander of the cavalry army, was captured alive by the opponent...
There is no need to judge, the winner and loser are clear at a glance.
The Tiger Guards all had bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and were dejected.
However, the Huben Army did not look like they were victorious at all. They still maintained their purge formation and stood firm and motionless.
As fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as steady as the mountain!
Huben Jun interprets the four words "Fenglinhuoshan" vividly.
Xu Chu's face was ashen and he sat on the horse without saying a word.
Suddenly, he rushed out of the formation on horseback and shouted sternly in the school field: "Dian Wei, how dare you fight with me!"
