Chapter 0378 The ever-changing performance of martial arts
"start!"
After the red flag was thrown out of Chen Lin's hand.
The Dragon Guard Army and the Tiger-Character Army, two groups of soldiers and horses, arranged their carriages and horses clearly, widened the distance, and occupied two corners of the school grounds respectively.
In the Dragon Guard Army.
The officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army, holding swords and guns in their hands, looked at the Tiger Character Army eagerly.
The Tiger Army needs to prove itself in one battle.
The Dragon Guards also need to prove themselves in a battle.
The Dragon Guards are filled with dandies, which is no secret in Bianjing City.
The dandies escorted prostitutes in the Long Guard barracks, which had already ruined the reputation of the Long Guard.
After Zhu Neng took control of the Dragon Guard Army, he spent some time sorting out the Dragon Guard Army.
He threw those hopelessly dandy boys into a camp and left them to make trouble.
The other officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army were reorganized by Zhu Neng and trained hard for two years.
Now, they need a chance to prove themselves.
Restore the reputation of the Dragon Guard Army and restore the Dragon Guard Army's status in the Forbidden Army.
Among them, the ones who want to prove themselves the most are the two newly formed battalions composed of good family members.
Chen Baoqing, the leader of the forward battalion, is a person who is particularly eager to help the Long Wei Army restore its reputation.
Chen Baoqing held a big gun, straddled his horse and approached Qi Lin, stared at the Tiger Character Army and said excitedly: "General, kill..."
Qi Lin said calmly: "There's no rush..."
Chen Baoqing shouted: "Don't be in a hurry, Beizhong is. Those guys who have been training for less than a year will be our opponents. As long as you give the order, Beizhong can kill them and turn the people they killed on their feet.
.”
Qi Lin frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy... Also, don't hurt people's lives. Don't you remember what the Commander-in-Chief of San Yamen said to the military camp yesterday? The imperial court allowed us to wear armor and carry swords not for the purpose of hurting people's lives.
.
It's just to test whether we have real ability.
Besides, let’s test the new armor on the opposite side.”
Chen Baoqing said dissatisfied: "General, a group of child soldiers have never even seen blood. What are you afraid of? If you are afraid, you can lead people to kill them first. If you see that they are winning, then you can lead people to kill them.
.
Yuchibao, Han Bingcheng and those guys finally contracted a strange disease and took a rest.
When the official humble job shows off its talents, you can't stop the humble job."
Qi Lin glanced at Chen Baoqing with pity and said nothing.
He really wanted to tell Chen Baoqing that those guys who were stronger than Chen Baoqing were not infected with strange diseases, but were lurking among the soldiers on the opposite side.
Zhu Neng dispatched the few people from the Dragon Guard who could fight, so naturally they couldn't bypass Qi Lin.
When Zhu Neng was arranging manpower, he came to the door openly and told Qi Lin his plan.
Qi Lin agreed with Zhu Neng's approach and felt that Long Weijun should be taken out for training.
So Zhu Neng acquiesced in sending troops from the Long Guard Army to help the Tiger Army.
But, even so.
It doesn't mean that Qi Lin will give in easily.
He is not Zhu Neng, and he will not give up all bottom lines just to plan something.
He has his own bottom line.
That is, if you can win, you will never admit defeat.
Planning is one thing, fighting is another.
The two may get entangled together, but Qi Lin will clearly separate them.
"Dong dong dong..."
The strong drum beaters beat the war drums standing on the edge of the school grounds so loudly that it made a loud noise.
Qi Lin waved the sword in his hand and shouted.
"Sword and shield soldiers come forward!"
"Pikemen follow!"
"Crossbowmen cover!"
"The rangers rush through the formation from the left and right sides!"
"kill!"
Real orders on the battlefield are always concise.
In order to convey military orders to the ears of every soldier conveniently and effectively, orders on the battlefield must not be cumbersome, let alone words that no one can understand.
Following Qi Lin's order.
The sword and shield soldiers held their shields on their shoulders and advanced step by step with steady steps and shouting slogans.
The pikemen raised their spears and followed closely.
Crossbowmen sit on the chariot or follow the chariot, bending their bows and nocking arrows, ready to shoot at any time.
Qi Lin led the rangers and constantly shuttled through the military formation, slowly advancing in conjunction with the military formation.
"Whoosh~"
The first to attack were the crossbowmen sitting on the chariot with crossbows mounted on their beds.
The crossbow gun, which was as thick as a child's arm, shot out as the crossbow shells vibrated on the bed.
The crossbow shot through the air, making a whistle.
The crossbow fell one foot away from Di Qing, piercing deeply into the soil.
The tail of the gun vibrated violently and made a buzzing sound.
"A show of force..."
Di Qing looked at the trembling crossbow in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The bronze Rakshasa mask was covered on his cheeks.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"rush!"
Di Qing's orders were much simpler than Qi Lin's.
Give an order.
Di Qing led the rangers and rushed out first.
The spearman raised his spear and followed closely.
The crossbowmen followed the pikemen.
The swordsmen guarded the crossbowmen with swords on both sides.
"when……"
There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting.
Di Qing rushed to the Dragon Guard and hit the shield of the Dragon Guard's sword and shield soldier with a shot.
The sword-and-shield soldier holding his shield stumbled and fell to the ground.
The other sword and shield soldiers quickly raised their giant shields to make up for the void created by the shield formation.
"Disperse!"
Di Qing hit the target with one blow, and quickly led the rangers to divide into two groups, spread out from both sides of the sword and shield soldiers, and go around.
Bypassing the sword and shield soldiers, the pikemen and crossbowmen behind them were targets for the rangers.
Seeing this, Qi Lin spurred his horse forward to fight Di Qing and shouted.
"Change of formation!"
The sword and shield soldiers held up their shields and took a few steps back, shrinking the shield formation into a semicircle, blocking the harassment of the rangers led by Di Qing.
Di Qing's approach was blocked by sword and shield soldiers.
Qi Lin took this opportunity and came forward with the Yanyue Sword, and fought fiercely with Di Qing.
Di Qing is leading the rangers to fight Qi Lin.
The pikemen and crossbowmen behind them followed closely.
When the crossbowman reaches a certain position, he begins to bend the bow and release the arrow.
Rounds of arrows were thrown out.
It landed on the shield of the sword and shield soldier, making a crackling sound.
The Long Guard's crossbowmen immediately stopped the counterattack.
Arrows were shot at the Tiger Army.
The arrow landed on the armor of the Tiger-shaped Army, sparks flew out, and fell to the ground.
The sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen of the Dragon Guard Army, and the spearmen, crossbowmen, and swordsmen of the Tiger Army slowly approached under the rain of arrows.
The soldiers were fighting hand to hand, and shouts of killing were everywhere.
The two sides fought fiercely.
In the stands.
Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Kou Zhun, Gao Chugong, Cao Wei and others were looking straight at the battlefield.
Although Cao Wei and others concluded that the Tiger Army would be defeated by the Dragon Guard Army, there was never an absolute question of victory or defeat on the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. It is very possible that a small and inconspicuous move can create a huge advantage in the battle situation and turn it into a negative situation in an instant.
So they need to keep paying attention.
After looking at it for a long time, Gao Chugong whispered to Cao Wei: "The new armor used by the military with tiger characters is indeed strong."
Cao Wei nodded heavily.
Seeing the crossbowmen from both sides firing at each other, the arrows falling on the opponent's armor and making a clanging sound was enough to explain everything.
What do the Dragon Guards wear?
It was a walking armor that weighed more than sixty kilograms. It was covered with armor and almost turned into a piece of moving steel.
It was not surprising that the arrows fell on them and failed to penetrate.
It is difficult for the Liao people's vulture shooters to easily defeat infantry armor, not to mention the arrows and ordinary crossbowmen that the Song army had in stock?
But the armor worn by the Tiger Army can withstand arrows, which is surprising.
Although Cao Wei and others did not personally go into battle, it is not difficult to judge the weight of the armor of the Tiger Army from the pace and the speed of its advance.
"Less than thirty pounds..."
Cao Wei said in a deep voice.
Gao Chugong nodded and said: "Slightly better defense, but half the weight. On the battlefield, the same defense, half the weight, can double the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The new material is indeed a good thing. We must
I need to get it from Kou Ji."
"Um……"
"There have been changes..."
Cao Weigang just hummed and was about to nod when he saw a flaw in the Tiger Character Army.
The sword and shield soldiers of the Dragon Guard teamed up with the spearmen to form an iron wall covered with spikes, advancing step by step.
The spearmen and crossbowmen of the Tiger Army have no temper at all.
They tried to go around from the left and right wings.
The sword and shield soldiers will instantly shrink the shield array and turn it into an arc shape.
The Tiger Army has been blocked from the shield formation.
Di Qing led the rangers to fight hard, trying hard to tear apart the shield formation so that his soldiers and horses could drive straight in.
But how could Qi Lin get what he wanted?
Whenever Di Qing attacks the shield formation, Qi Lin will lead the rangers to attack.
Qi Lin knew that the number of rangers under his command was at a disadvantage, so every time he attacked, he would not fight too much with Di Qing.
He would only fight Di Qing for one or two rounds, and after repelling Di Qing's offensive, he would retreat into the shield formation.
So back and forth.
One by one, the soldiers were ‘killed’ and left the school grounds.
The Long Wei Army suppressed the Tiger Army and forced the Tiger Army to a corner of the school field.
Gao Chugong, Wang Qinruo and others saw this and smiled knowingly.
In their view, the Tiger Army was forced into a corner of the school grounds and was basically defeated.
The greatest combat power of the Tiger Army is the cavalry, and cavalry charges require a certain distance of buffer.
Without a certain distance of buffer, it would be difficult for the cavalry to exert effective combat effectiveness.
"Commander, we have no way to retreat!"
Someone in the Tiger Army shouted.
Di Qing raised his heavy gun, stared at the Dragon Guards opposite, and said in a deep voice: "Kill out and open a hole!"
Di Qing led the rangers and rushed out desperately, looking ready to fight the Dragon Guards to the death.
Seeing this, Qi Lin laughed and said: "The general has too high expectations for you. From my point of view, you are still young. Don't you know that what I am waiting for is your desperate fight?"
The words fell to the ground.
Qi Lin shouted loudly.
"Change of formation!"
"Whoa!"
The sword and shield soldiers immediately dispatched and formed a semicircle again, but this semicircle was no longer facing the inside, but facing the outside.
It's like a pot lid, buckled on the head of the tiger-shaped army.
Di Qing led his army to charge bravely.
With his bravery and at the cost of three hundred rangers, he tore a hole in the shield array.
He led a group of rangers and rushed out of the formation.
Seeing this, Qi Lin shook his head and smiled, "You lead a group of remnants alone, so what if you escape? As long as I wipe out the crossbowmen and spearmen in your hands, you will be a lost dog."
Di Qing jumped out of the formation, a smile appeared on his face under the mask.
"Yeah?"
Qi Lin was stunned.
Then he saw the Tiger Character Army surrounded by him suddenly changing its formation.
The spearmen and crossbowmen retreated slowly, while the swordsmen stepped forward with swords in hand.
"Yafeng!"
Di Qing, who jumped out of the formation, and the swordsmen inside the formation instantly formed two sharp formations.
From the front and back sides, rush towards the sword and shield soldiers.
Seeing this, Qi Lin smiled coldly, "Change the formation!"
The shield array split into two.
Just when the shield array split into two.
Di Qing, who was charging, chuckled, "Fell into a trap!"
The momentum of Di Qing and Dao Bing's charge continued unabated.
But the spearmen of the Tiger Army who had just retreated rushed to the front again.
They threw the spears in their hands with all their strength.
The spears turned into sharp arrows and went straight towards the crossbowmen who were revealed when the Dragon Guard's sword and shield soldiers changed formations.
When Qi Lin saw this, his expression changed drastically.
"Quick! Protect the crossbowmen!"
However.
After all, it was a little too late for him to shout.
With the throwing of the spearmen of the Tiger Army, the formation of the crossbowmen of the Dragon Guard Army was broken up.
Di Qing and the sword soldiers gave up attacking the Dragon Guard's sword and shield soldiers at the same time, and chose to rush towards the Dragon Guard's crossbowmen.
The weapons of the Tiger Army relied on their armor to withstand the attacks of the Dragon Guard's spearmen and quickly divided the battlefield.
The battlefield turned into Di Qing's paradise in an instant.
He led the rangers and fought in and out of the divided battlefield.
Just a cup of tea.
All the crossbowmen in the Dragon Guard army were killed.
Some pikemen were also implicated and killed off the battlefield.
The number of soldiers and horses in Qi Lin's hands was reduced by half in an instant.
Only the complete sword and shield soldiers, rangers, and remnants of the pikemen were left.
Qi Lin shouted angrily, "Traitor! Traitor!"
Some people knew who he was scolding.
The Dragon Guard's shield formation didn't have many flaws when fighting against each other.
There is only one point, that is, when countering the siege, you encounter a sprint. When changing formations, the crossbowmen behind you will be exposed.
As for this flaw, Zhu Neng and Qi Lin actually didn't care.
Because if the Dragon Guard Army really goes to the battlefield, tens of thousands of people will cooperate to fight.
A shield formation composed of tens of thousands of sword and shield soldiers is not so easy to break through.
Even heavy armored cavalry such as the Jingsai Army can only tear through two layers of shields.
Behind the two layers of shield formation, there are six layers.
In addition, when the crossbowmen are fighting, there are auxiliary soldiers around them.
With the protection of auxiliary soldiers and multi-layered shields, it can be said that it is almost difficult to break through on the defensive line.
As the number of people increases, this flaw will be made up for, so no one will regard it as a flaw.
Qi Lin did not expect that this flaw, which could have been ignored during the war, would become the key to the Tiger Army's defeat of the Dragon Guard Army.
It's obvious.
This flaw was told to Di Qing by the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army who were hiding in the Tiger Character Army.
Di Qing used this to turn everything around in one fell swoop.
In this martial arts performance on the school field, the Dragon Guards did not have an eight-layer shield formation and no auxiliary troops to help.
The exposed crossbowman became a living target.
"Bang!"
Gao Chugong, Wang Qinruo, Cao Wei and others stood up one by one, patting their seats and staring at the school ground in astonishment.
