Now that he has decided to start the battle, Fan's brigade commander is not polite. He waved the flag and began to direct the military chariots that were originally lined up in a horizontal line to re-arrange the formation.

The formation of geese flying is also called "the formation of birds and clouds", which is the oldest attack formation of chariots. Xia Jie's disciple.

In the battle of Muye, Taigongwang also set up a "Yingyang" formation similar to Yanxing, as the so-called "Master Wei Shangfu, Shiwei Yingyang, Liangbi King Wu, wantonly attacked the big merchants", and beat the Shang soldiers to the ground. Abandoning the armor, the Dayu merchants were destroyed in one day.

Although this formation is primitive, it is also the most effective tactic on the Great Plains.

Under the banner of Fan's brigade commander, 30 military chariots started one after another, raising a lot of dust. The front group is the "front sharp" in a straight column, and the left and right are slightly skewed horizontal lines, called "back Zhang", also called left wing and right wing.

When the dust settled, looking from Zhao Wuxi's direction, the formation of the enemy's vehicles was like the "human" shape formed by the geese flying south.

"The formation of birds and clouds, scattered and turned into birds, attacked with the shooters on the vehicle, disrupting the enemy's formation; merged into clouds, and smashed the enemy's formation! Today's events, first approaching and frightening Wen Zu, and then rushing to disperse. For them, the victory is certain!"

After giving the battle orders to the crowd, Fan's brigade commander also stood on the chariot and acted as "∝☆To the division", while Fan Jia stood in the back and played the drums himself.

On the bank of the big river, the rumbling drums were accompanied by the rushing sound of the water, and the collision of floating ice sounded. Thirty chariots began to move slowly, aiming directly at the thin Zhao Bing on the opposite side!

...

When Zhao Wuxi was in the lower palace. Having learned the method of chariot warfare from You Wuzheng and Wang Sunqi, it is naturally clear. This kind of "human"-shaped battle formation, which is "sharp at the front and stretched at the back, and walking diagonally", can give full play to the strength of the chariot, and avoid the weakness that the chariot is easily restricted by terrain and obstacles.

The formation of the row upon row makes each vehicle run, spin, and shoot without being blocked by the preceding vehicle, which can not only ensure the rapid movement of a large number of chariots, but also make the shooting field open, and give full play to the bow and arrow and impact. power.

What's even more rare is that the thirty vehicles were arranged in an orderly manner, so Zhao Wuxi said with emotion that the commander on the opposite side was indeed "a person who makes good use of vehicles".

"It's a pity. Today, I ran into me, and I ran into you, and they will definitely lose."

Zhao Wuxi didn't stay on the chariot, he looked at the array of chariots that were scattered like birds and clouds, and let Xing Ao drive, carrying Zhao Guangde to join the convoy on the right wing. Holding the crossbow himself, he stood in a row with the somewhat timid Wen County pawns.

"The gentleman is in the same row as you today! Live and die together!"

Wu Xie's addition caused a commotion, and Wu Jing, Su Shouyu and other military officials shouted loudly, which instantly made the crossbow-wielding soldiers aroused.

Although Wen Zu has always been known for his timidity. But to a large extent, it was still killed by Doctor Wen Zhao Luo. The main general can abandon the army and flee, so how can his subordinates have the courage to continue fighting?

But when Zhao Wuxi stood behind the front row with a crossbow in person. The Wen soldiers were flattered for a while, and the gentleman also said that they could defeat the invincible chariot and bird formation!

"The gentleman of the Zhao family is a walker of the monarch. He is a doctor, but he can stand in the same line with our lowly disciples. If he is not afraid of death, what should we be afraid of?"

not to mention. Behind the crossbow soldiers of the soldiers, Zhao Wuxi also took out an insurance policy.

The tall Mu Xia took the Chengxiang guards, looked at the backs of the crossbowmen indifferently, and shouted loudly: "Those who dare to retreat will be dealt with by the new military law, and there will be no pardon!"

After discovering that the thirty chariots on the opposite side were slowly moving along with the sound of drums, Zhao Wuxi ordered loudly: "Le's Armored Soldiers, come forward!"

Song people are tough and stubborn, and Le's soldiers are the people who hate Fan the most and are the most grieved. Hatred forgets death, grief and anger do not fear the enemy, Chen Dingguo led the soldiers of the Le clan, and after hearing the words, he immediately led them forward, passing through the gap of the crossbowmen.

After standing still, the soldiers squatted on the ground, erected their shields in front, and stared at the dust raised by the opposite chariots, motionless as a mountain.

Their role is not to block the chariot, but to strengthen the crossbowmen's courage again - less fear when you find that someone in front of you suffers death before you.

"All the crossbowmen obey the order, three rows of horizontal formations, all wind up!" After the soldiers of the Le Clan took their place, Zhao Wuxi gave a loud order, and immediately bowed his head and drew his arrows to wind up the strings.

With cavalry scouts around, Zhao Wuxi's army seemed to have more eyesight than others. When they found the enemy several miles away, the crossbow machine had been adjusted, and the arrows were also carried on their waists. These thousands of arrows. , or a gift from the Han family.

There was a squeaking sound of winding strings around, and the freshly-baked crossbowmen would be personally trained by Zhao Wuxi as long as they stopped these days. This simple operation was already extremely skilled.

"Yu will lead the first column, Wu Jing will lead the second column, and Su Shouyu will lead the third column. After that, I will train myself to shoot, and all the crossbowmen are not allowed to fire arrows. When firing arrows, the same as usual training, three columns will be used. Line up, wind up in sequence, and shoot one after another, no mistakes are made, those who violate the order will be killed in the temple!"

"Wei!" Everyone sternly agreed, Su Shouyu was originally the **** chief, and Wu Jing was also familiar with the Wen **** assigned to him, and they carried out Zhao Wuxi's orders without compromise.

As the drum beats became denser, the thirty chariots of horses and horses that had advanced 400 paces began to accelerate, the top of the "herring"-shaped queue approached first, and the left and right wings spread out on both sides.

Zhao Wuxi raised the wooden crossbow: "The first row, raise the crossbow horizontally, aiming at the lead car, the second row is ready to step forward at any time!"

Above the battlefield, three hundred paces away, the Fan's chariot formation, which had already formed a formation, began to charge! Although there were only 30 military chariots, they still had a thunderous aura when they ran fast on the battlefield. Although they had not contacted them, they had already put a lot of pressure on the soldiers.

However, the soldiers of the Le clan in the front row did not move like a mountain, and the soldiers in the back were staring at their backs. If they dared to turn around, it would be a death sentence, so the soldiers just swallowed and moved. Pointe, but dare not make a second.

Zhao Wuxi looked at the long smoke and dust raised by the chariot soldiers on the opposite side, and also held the spear aloft. Hundreds of soldiers marched forward, secretly praying that the "three-stage shooting" that had been trained in the past few days would be effective.

Spring and Autumn crossbows and early arquebuses have one thing in common. That is, the range is not long enough and the launch gap is long. In the ever-changing field battlefield, it is often reduced to a one-time weapon.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi had an idea, which was the same as the "three-stage strike" tactics in the era of European arquebuses and flintlock guns in later generations. He divided the crossbowmen into three rows first. After the first row fired, the second row fired. When the second row was fired, the first row and the third row switched positions and went to the rear to rewind. This cycle goes back and forth to ensure that the arrows fired are uninterrupted, causing the greatest deterrence and damage to the enemy.

After passing from the state county to here. During the intermittent training along the way, the soldiers of Wen have basically mastered this method of warfare. Now, they can only pray that they will not make mistakes in actual combat.

If it wasn't for the unreliable psychological endurance of the soldier Wen, why would Zhao Wuxi need to stand in the front row? In terms of command, it is also fine to hand over to the stable Wu Jing, but the existence of Zhao Wuxi is equivalent to giving everyone a morale buff, and I only hope that in the next time. They can still hold on.

...

As the "Zhizi" of the geese formation, it is Qian Rui composed of six vehicles, one after the other, about ten steps apart. Fan's brigade commander's chariot is at the end. Facing the howling wind, he squinted to observe the situation opposite.

After launching the charge, he expected it. The commander of the other side will hurriedly use ten military vehicles on the right flank to stop them after they start to charge.

The brigade commander planned to entangle the enemy with twelve vehicles on his left flank. The six front-sharp vehicles attacked the enemy's weak central army in turn, and the twelve vehicles on the right flank attacked from the right. Thoroughly scrambled its formation, while five hundred pawns reaped the enemy's life on the heels.

He had already sensed the opponent's evolution, but responded with a contemptuous smile: "Even if there is another row of armored soldiers in front, it is useless, the array is too thin, only four or five layers, how can it withstand the impact of the chariot. , once we rush in, the soldiers of Wen will inevitably collapse across the board!"

Although the two hundred people on the opposite side seem to be archers, at the speed of the chariot, they can shoot at most two rounds, and most of the arrows will be absorbed by the first chariot wearing leather and armor, and will not cause damage to the following five vehicles. How much damage.

However, when the brigade commander's military chariot moved within a hundred paces, he was surprised to find that there was no noise or change in the array on the opposite side. The ten military chariots were still parked on the right side, unmoving, without the slightest stance of attacking. And the "bow" in the hands of the soldiers of Wen seems to have a special structure.

"The soldiers in Wenxian County have always been very weak. It would be good to be able to find two hundred top archers. Today, they can open their bows for such a long time without letting go, something is wrong..."

"Not good!" He suddenly shouted, and hurriedly waved the flag to make the left and right wings at the rear close together, turning the bird formation into a cloud formation.

However, the chariots in the back could also slow down and change formations, but the five in front were too late. At this moment, Qian Rui's first military chariot has reached a position fifty paces away from the enemy!

...

Zhao Wuxi stared intently at the approaching enemy car formation, with no distracting thoughts left in his mind, he just concentrated on estimating the distance.

The first car was already within 60 paces, which is the longest range of the wooden crossbow, but Zhao Wuxi didn't shoot the arrow cluster. The soldier of Wen, once again reiterated the order.

"My arrows can't be fired, and the two or three sons are not allowed to shoot arrows. Those who violate the order will be killed in the temple!"

I have to wait a few more breaths, because the crossbow in my hand is too primitive, many of its performances are not up to standard, and it can only effectively kill targets within fifty steps, and Zhao Wuxi plans to put them within thirty steps before shooting. !

On the battlefield ~lightnovelpub.net~ more than 20 Fan's chariots began to slow down, turning the unfolded bird formation into a closed cloud formation. However, the five military chariots in front were galloping like the wind without pausing. In front of them, the Wenxian crossbowmen, inspired by Zhao Wuxi, tried their best to control their fears, but failed to lead them.

After the first military chariot entered a distance of thirty or forty paces, the hooves of the horse's galloping hooves were thundering, the wheels of the chariot spun, and the top of the long bronze hub was blazing with cold light. There is also Fan's armored soldier, who has gradually seen his appearance, and Rong Zuo, who is opposite, is also estimating the position, and is planning to open his bow and arrow.

Several soldiers of Wen finally couldn't bear the pressure. They abandoned the crossbow and turned to escape, but they were smashed to the ground one by one by Mu Xia, and the smell of blood filled the array.

The rest of the people have also reached the edge of patience. At this moment, with the sound of a drum, Zhao Wuxi shouted loudly: "The first row, shoot!" (To be continued. . . )
