Zhang Xun was panicking now. He suddenly discovered that his own formation, for some reason, did not attack the Qu'a infantry that was sent to him!
His eyes hurt from staring so hard that he finally saw clearly that it wasn't that he wasn't attacking, but that he was being blocked...
Because the opponent's fish scale formation is only one layer, embedded in one layer, so the enemy you face only has one side.
When a battle broke out, the first row of Qu'a spearmen all knelt down, took off the big shield behind them, held it firmly with their right arm, and pulled out the short sword from their waist with their left hand.
Only the equipment in the first row is different from those in the back.
The pikemen in the second row placed their extra-long spears on the shoulders of the first row - the soldier's shoulder pads made by Cheng Ji. A delicate groove was also made specifically for the handle of the gun.
At the same time, the spearmen in the second row also stepped forward, allowing the half-crouching spearmen in the third row to put their spears on their shoulders, and the fourth row also placed their spears on the spearmen in the third row.
On the body.
Moreover, the spearmen in the second row are holding the middle part of the spear, and the two rows behind are holding the second half. The four rows behind are just holding their shields on standby. When the soldiers in front are sacrificed, they will move forward to fill in.
Bit!
The shield-sword infantry in the first row was designed by Chen Gong himself and combined with the ordinary heavy infantry of the Han Dynasty. It is better at defense and preventing the enemy from breaking into the formation. It has been taught in training that if the infantry in the first row is sacrificed, the infantry in the second row will be killed.
He will abandon his gun directly and continue to use the heavy shield left by his teammates in the first row!
At the same time, the second row of gunmen, when the enemy approaches, repeats the two actions of "retracting" and "stabbing", while the next two rows only need to "shake". The toughness of the gun barrel material combined with the extra long length will shake the gun.
It already has pretty good lethality.
Zhang Xun couldn't see clearly, but he could see that the opponent's infantry array looked like hedgehogs when facing the enemy, and actually the first three or four rows were attacking.
The soldiers facing this "hedgehog" on the front line were even more heartbroken at this moment. They were stabbed or swept away by Lin's spears, and there was no room to get close...
The dense formation is the soul of the Macedonian phalanx. The sparse super-pike infantry are just lambs to be slaughtered when approached.
How can such a long gun be used flexibly for attack in infantry combat?
Doubts flashed through Zhang Xun's mind, but he immediately gave up thinking about the problem - Lu Bu's wolf cavalry was coming.
The cone formation is not divided into formations, it is just the most basic, a simple formation with the general as the absolute forward, strong wings, and good at tearing apart the enemy's formation.
However, now the tip of the cone is Lu Bu, and the one who builds the cone formation is Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!
I saw only a simple cone-shaped formation, now like a black sickle, shaving directly into Zhang Xun's formation, harvesting Zhang Xun's soldiers.
At this time, Lu Bu's armor looked like something Bai Tu had never seen before.
Among the three types of armor, the wood-and-stone armor seems to be just a basic exoskeleton, making the user only look taller and not changing much in body shape.
The gilt armor's limbs look complicated, and although the coverage of the body is high, it looks very thin.
And now Lu Bu finally uses the golden jade armor. It looks like a crimson mecha more than three meters tall. The body part is also extremely thick. Even the helmet part covers most of his face, except for one "
The "T" shaped gap exposes the eyes, nose and mouth.
Fang Tian's painted halberd has also become extraordinarily thick. The crescent on the blade of the halberd is completely condensed by laser. With Lu Bu's exertion, it can expand to half a man's width. When swung, it is quite powerful even among the army.
I feel like mowing the grass!
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is a cavalry established by Bingzhou to fight against the Qiang people in Hetao. They have been fighting with the Qiang people all year round. They have absorbed and learned the characteristics of the Qiang cavalry and have a combat effectiveness that is superior to the Qiang cavalry.
The reason why Bingzhou has a sparse population is that since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hetao area began to migrate inward and surrendered to the Huns, and the Han people were moved inward to the east of Changshan Pass. By the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hetao area had been reduced to Qiang and Southern Xiongnu.
The battlefield of contention.
Today's Bingzhou only has a small strip east of the Hetao, with Taiyuan County as its core, and there are only Han people's household registrations in Chengji. Bingzhou east of the Hetao is used as a base camp to resist the Qiang people.
Of course, with the remaining power of the Han Dynasty, no matter what, they will not be "bullied". Whether it is the Qiang people in Hetao, the Huns, or the Xianbei people in Hexi, if they confront the Han army in Liangzhou or Bingzhou, they will actually lose more and win less.
.
Before, when the Han Dynasty was weak and the Qiang people killed officials and rebelled, they promoted Han Sui as the nominal leader, but did not dare to directly stroke the beard of the Han Dynasty. Xianbei and Wuhuan in western Liaoning were still beaten violently by Gongsun Zan.
Hexi Xianbei has not yet come out of the psychological shadow of the Xiliang cavalry, but the Han Dynasty has been unable to actually control Hetao, Hexi, and Liaoxi.
After all, even so many wise men in the Central Plains did not realize that the Han Dynasty was in decline, and the Qiang, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu naturally did not expect that there would be an opportunity to go south in the future...
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry absorbed the characteristics of the Qiang cavalry. They were lightly armored and shieldless, and were good at running. At the same time, due to long-term battles with the Qiang people, their restraint developed their cavalry and archery skills - they were weak against long-range strikes, but not capable of long-range attacks.
Not weak!
Each cavalry is equipped with a spear and a scimitar. When charging, they attack the enemy with a spear. The momentum is slightly weaker. After falling into the enemy's formation, they can also draw their swords to kill. This is a reference to the Qiang cavalry, the leader of the Xiongnu cavalry family. At the same time, it also
The Han army has the advantage of being well-equipped.
At this time, Zhang Xunjun was showing his power in Jiangdong for the first time. Wherever he passed, Zhang Xunjun's formations scattered like birds and beasts.
Effortlessly, he was able to tear apart Zhang Xunjun's array defense, and then dispersed and collapsed!
In fact, only about 10% of soldiers can be directly killed, but tearing up the formation can accelerate the collapse of the opponent's morale. In addition, Lu Bu directly "named" officers above the rank of captain, and it was like entering a no-man's land...
An array of 500 people, in just one sweep, only 400 scurrying troops were left!
This is also the special effect of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry - the wolf rushes and crashes into the enemy's formation while charging, which can make the enemy's morale more likely to collapse.
"Raise the flag, raise the flag! Four from the east, three from the south... stick to the north... what are they doing?" Zhang Xun did not wait to die and immediately began to command the resistance.
While ordering the four teams of covering cavalry to intercept, he also ordered the adjacent formations to "number formations" - the opposite of "sparse formations", which means to gather into a dense formation!
In front of the cavalry, if the infantry is concentrated to fight, there will be a lot of casualties, but... if it is not concentrated, it will be completely in vain.
However, Zhang Xun's flags and drums were blaring, but he found that none of the arrays were very responsive!
Ordinarily, the morale of the formation that was overrun by the Bingzhou Cavalry is beginning to collapse. It does not have much impact on the overall situation. How come they all disobey orders?
Zhang Xun was so anxious that he had some vision and hearing. Finally, he squinted his eyes and vaguely saw some clues - they were the opponent's new infantry soldiers!
Qu'a's infantry were like walls at this time, completely isolating Zhang Xun's army's movements. Moreover, Chen Gong also completely restrained Zhang Xun when directing the formation's position, and was often able to block the vital gate of Zhang Xun's army in advance.
For a moment, Zhang Xun's army seemed to be trapped in a moving maze, and in this maze was the morale-harvesting sickle of the Bingzhou Cavalry...
"This is not the fish scale formation, this is not the fish scale formation!" Zhang Xun said while stamping his feet and baring his teeth.
Of course it's not the fish scale formation, but it does refer to the nature of the fish scale formation. This is Chen Gong's self-created military formation - the cornering formation!
