Chapter 4150: battle formation
"Okay, then I'll lead the troops there now." Tian Yu had an excited look on his face, then picked up his weapon and stood up. It was obvious that Tian Yu had been a little nervous after being in Youzhou for so many years. Itching, I finally have an opportunity, I don't want to miss it at all.
"Zilong, send someone to follow Guorang. If Guorang has the upper hand, don't take action. If things go wrong, it's up to you." Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Yun and said after Tian Yu left.
"I'm worried that Oswen is behind." Zhao Yun frowned and said, "The terrain here is some hills, and the other party is here deliberately, and it also means some ambush."
"Leave Oswen to me." Zhang Fei said vigorously, "As for the hilly terrain, it is also an opportunity for the crossbow shield guard."
To be honest, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were actually a little panicked when Chen Xi came up to deploy the troops. Although everyone's logistics and equipment were sent by Chen Xi, and Chen Xi also knew soldiers in their cognition, but they couldn't. You Chen Xi said to use the military system, let's use the military system.
Shouldn't this be carefully studied, field researched, and taken step by step? You must know that this is a military system, and it represents the gun and shield of an empire, and it cannot be messed up.
Especially the formation of the Shield Guards, this is really hurtful for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals who understand what the Shield Guards mean. Although they did not lead the Shield Guards, the number and scale of the Shield Guards are still too much. For them, it still has a huge impact.
The ultra-high lower limit of the shield guard allows them to attack without any scruples in many cases.
Even if you are ambushed by the opponent, relying on the steel defense of the shield guard, you can survive the early chaotic stage, and then go all out to attack. After all, after seeing the super thick armor of the shield guard as a teammate, you will firmly believe in our main force. Certainly not broken, they will come to my rescue. .
Although theoretically speaking, the main army should be able to fight better than the shield guards, but in terms of trust, for ordinary regular troops, they are more willing to trust the armor of the shield guards.
After all, compared to the innate strength that cannot be seen and touched, and the exact level cannot be determined, the shield guard's real steel plate defense of at least 50mm is very popular.
At least looking at the thickness of the armor, the soldiers of the main army felt that if something went wrong, this group of people would definitely be able to hold it. It was a real steel plate of 50mm, so there were shield guards stationed there. Most of the soldiers of the main army slept with dead pigs at night. The same - if the other party can annihilate the shield guard before waking me up, I don't think I can solve the problem if I wake up.
Although this statement is a bit outrageous, this statement is indeed very marketable. There are many soldiers who are willing to believe it. It is enough to see the sense of security. Sometimes it depends not on combat power, but on image. Of course, 50mm armor is not blown. People are not necessarily excellent, and resistance to beatings is absolutely top-notch.
Therefore, when they heard that Chen Xi was going to move the shield guard, Guan Yu and others were a little worried.
As a result, Chen Xi's so-called "moving shield guard" was just a new warhead for the shield guard.
Guan Yu and others were really a little stunned when they saw Chen Xi unloading more than 60,000 crossbow machines from the warship, but after introducing the simple and rude way of using it, Guan Yu and other battlefield veterans realized that this adjustment is not good for the shield. What is the meaning of Wei.
The fact that the Han army suffered in terms of archers has always existed. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also knew it, but there was no good way.
Just like when Fuward and Sansha were in Beigui's fights, they could not fail. If there were no large-scale two or five children, Fuward might still be able to fight with Sansha now.
As a result, when Fuward went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Qiang people who were absolutely third-rate in the Han Dynasty combat team could fight Fuward for their lives. To put it bluntly, it was not because when he took the initiative to attack, many things that once did not need to be scruples became. A deadly hole.
Zhang Fei and others have also thought about increasing the scale of archers, but after calculating the loss rate, the Han army continued to increase the scale of cavalry and hoplites as they had fought externally.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xi's single-handed crossbow machine shield guard solved all the problems, although this way of solving the problem seems outrageous, 60,000 small and medium crossbow machines, this is not a little money.
Of course, for Chen Xi, the small and medium-sized crossbow machine was reduced to 57 parts when the masters rated the small and medium-sized crossbow machine last year. The level of production, among the remaining 12 parts, seven have a certain technical level, and five are directly forged with steel for mold opening
They are all optimized to the extent that they are thrown on the assembly line. The production of 60,000 small and medium-sized crossbows is just a hammer. It is only a small assembly line that is comprehensively divided by the state-run logging farm and the smelting department. This is also a stand-alone assembly.
However, even if it is the so-called stall-style assembly, this technical idea has surpassed this era for at least 1500 years, and the efficiency is still a bit outrageous.
Therefore, more than 60,000 crossbow machines were in hand, and Guan Yu quickly issued them to the shield guards. He didn't even need training. Shooting with a crossbow is a skill for individuals. When there are few people, they pay attention to three points and one line. Strike, the general direction is no problem.
Instantly solved the archer suppression problem that had to be faced before, and more importantly, the survivability did not decrease in the slightest.
"Then I will lead the crossbow shield guard to seize the favorable terrain." Zhang Yan said eagerly, but he was evaluated by Bai Qi as having the ability of violent kites and rhinoceros. This is a great recognition. , we have to be worthy of this evaluation.
"Alright, I'll take the lead. That guy Oswen might also be staring here. That guy is not easy to deal with." Zhang Fei said angrily. Zhang Yan leading the shield guard to attack is a very good choice. , Retreat can be defended, even if you encounter an unexpected situation, you can step down smoothly. This year, the soldiers can lose less, which is more important than the gains.
The response of the Han army had to be quick, but they couldn't stand Urdu, Kailash, and Falgon, all of whom were elites who had fought a lot with the Han army. After observing the white shadow in the hilly area, Baimayi entered the alert. condition.
It has to be said here that Baima Yicong is a pure fake scout. Other scouts will carefully hide their traces to avoid being discovered by opponents. However, Baima Yicong’s investigation never hides it. What is the situation of the other party, and then run away before the other party reacts. Anyway, if you come back with accurate information, the investigation is successful.
Besides, Baimayi is a large group of people when they move, and it is really unrealistic to let them hide together, so Urdu and the others are on guard when they run away in Baima.
Gu Huan
"No, Baima Yicong is too fast, and my arrows are solid arrows. The opponent has the power to dispel the wind. I can still hit at close range. If I shoot it so far, they will use the wind to push it away." The horse's Falgon said helplessly.
Even if it relies on the double initial speed brought by the blessing of the mind, it is very powerless to face Baima Yicong. , not to mention that Baima Yicong was running while doing maneuvering dodge movements.
To be honest, every time I see Baima Yicong running like this, Falgon wants to ask, are you not afraid of breaking your legs while running so fast?
"I haven't touched it yet, but the other party found out." Urdu's face pulled the elder, "Kalash, I heard that you are also a strong man, tell me, what should I do next?"
"What else can I do?" Kailash said angrily, "It's impossible to retreat, you can find out, I'll have people do a good job of investigation, as long as you don't get caught, it's nothing to fight the Han army. are you scared?"
"I'm afraid, I've done Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" Wu Er said angrily, "When the time comes, don't stop, three waves at most, Falgon, give us cover!"
"There is no problem with the shielding of the arrows. Although my subordinates have not fully recovered, but under the inspiration of the mental image, there is no problem with the rapid shooting of light arrows, but if you encounter a large-scale shield guard, you should quickly withdraw, and the rapid shooting of light arrows will affect the shield even if it reaches the speed of sound. Guard doesn't have any effect." Falgon said very seriously, more powerful than the visual distance, Falgon is definitely the top, but it is useless.
When he was young, Falgon could still use heavy wolf tooth arrows to penetrate the shield and seriously injure the shield guard, but as time passed, the shield guards all learned to parry with a small inclination.
The high-speed wolf-tooth arrow itself is a swaying posture in the air. When encountering a shield with a small inclination, it will become a ricochet and fly away directly. Hard blocking is enough, the super impact force will break the arrowhead of the light arrow, and the shaft of the arrow will be broken by the impact.
Therefore, Falgon clearly told the brothers that they should withdraw quickly when they encountered a large number of shield guards.
"Both of us have seen that kind of thing, and it's not tactical for cavalry to charge heavy infantry." Kailash glanced at Falgon and said, "How many praetorians do you have?"
"It's less than 1,000. I didn't ask Oswen to make it up, and the talent structure of the royal bow and cavalry is quite troublesome, and it is not so easy to re-smelt it, so I made up some elite bow cavalry to come in, in the mind and talent. With the blessing, the power is guaranteed, but you don't have any hope of breaking out and breaking through this time." Falgon told the two again.
Although I have said it before, Falgon feels that he still needs to remind him again.
In the past when the pure janitorial army, Fargon's ultimate use was to use the wolf tooth arrow to fire twelve consecutive blows that were enough to pierce the shield of the shield guard. Without any scruples, such a blow could hit a wave of explosive suppression. It is very meaningful for battlefield breakthroughs, and it can give enough support when comrades in arms are caught in the sea of shields.
But now there are less than 1,000 guards left, so don't even think about this kind of strategic cover.
"Understood," Kailash said, raising his spear.
At the same time, the irritable old brother Tian Yu has already appeared on the horizon. Unlike Tian Yu, who has experienced countless hardships in the official history and has a great temperament, Tian Yu is still a young man with a violent temper. He came to the Ganges to kill. The enemy, we Youzhou people have blessings in killing the Hu people.
"Come on!" Tian Yu held a spear in one hand and wore the exact same armor as an ordinary soldier. He led the Yuyang cavalry and pulled a broad horizontal formation and rushed over at high speed.
This year, the quality of the standard armor of the Han army has reached basically the same level as that of the regular army and the generals.
Therefore, the height, fat and thinness are all at normal levels. Tian Yu, who has not yet deliberately raised the flag, rushed over in ordinary armor, not to mention the Kushuang soldiers, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chen Xi and other acquaintances could not find Tian Yu. where.
Why didn't you mention Guan Yu? Tian Yu's standard armor was warmly nourished by Guan Yu, and in order to prevent Tian Yu from being attacked by his will, Guan Yu also left a divine will on it. This thing is like a mark, and it cannot be found.
"The Han army is too irritable, and the formation this time is too evacuated." Kailash said with a little sarcasm, and Ur didn't say anything, just grabbed Kailash's shoulder and gave the other a look , Kailash reacted only then, and did not rush directly.
The broad horizontal formation stretched out two kilometers across the ground. It was different from the front and arrow formations used by normal cavalry soldiers. The battle method of Yuyang cavalry combined with Tian Yu's experience, the horizontal formation was only used well. , which is better than the front arrow array.
Although it was the first time that Urdu and Kailash saw such a broad and thin horizontal formation of cavalry, they never panicked. , an imposing manner that was ready to cut the horizontal formation of Yuyang's sudden riding into three sections.
On the contrary, Fargon vaguely felt that something was not good. He tried to shoot with a bow and arrow, but the Yuyang cavalry with a width of two kilometers and a vertical peak of no more than seven or eight lines, how to aim the arrow was a very big problem.
When fighting in a group, archers shoot in an organized system, because it is difficult for scattered attacks to hit such fast-moving cavalry, and now with a two-kilometer horizontal formation, the coverage of Fargon's arrow rain is difficult to calculate. Coupled with the vertical depth and movement speed, Falgon urgently tried two arrow rains and realized that the arrow rain was difficult to contain the opponent.
The rain of arrows is too concentrated, and the opponents covered are too few to be contained, and the rain of arrows is too scattered, losing the effect of an organic strike, and cannot effectively contain the offensive.
How to determine a reasonable density in such a formation is not so easy, and the meaning of high-speed cavalry assault is here, you think for a moment, and the opponent has already come up.
Neither Urdu nor Kailash noticed this. They cut directly to the front of Yuyang's cavalry in the form of sharp arrows. For a while, the blood-red big Asura cavalry and the slender sword-wielding Ur Headquarters, collided with Yuyang Tuqi with a screaming shock wave.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Tian Yu's mouth, just as he guessed, the cavalry who had not been hammered by him saw their opponents as sharp arrows!
