ps: Chapter 2 is around 1:00

Qi Shuai Guoxia tried to use the chariots used by the Qi army to break into the formation, because the tactics of the war were good, leading the troops deep into the enemy's territory and contacting the enemy's assault troops, and the enemy took advantage of the familiar terrain to attack, or attack the left flank, or Attacking the right flank makes the whole army tremble. Such an enemy is called a "quake bandit".

Against such an enemy, it is beneficial to fight, not suitable for defense. You should choose a strong bow from a fighter, use the chariot as the left and right wings, and attack the enemy's front and rear quickly. Either click on the table, or click on the inside. In this way, the enemy soldiers are bound to be in chaos, and the enemy generals are bound to be frightened and defeated!

However, people are alive, and tactics are also alive. Before the two armies take over the battle, the commander makes fine adjustments according to the different conditions on the scene, which can often determine the trend of the battle. Zhao Wuxi told the army not to rest, but directly lined up to press forward. It brought a huge sense of oppression to the Qi people.

"Hateful! Zhao Jun started to move forward without waiting for us to complete the formation. The chariot could not be spread out. Guozi, what should I do?"

Gao Wupi slammed Che Yu hard, but Guo Xia didn't panic, he glanced at the younger brother lightly, and said, "It's okay, the way to fight is to attack and defend. Since Zhao If the army is attacking before us, then it’s better to defend first, and whoever strikes first won’t necessarily take advantage.”

Guo Xia also responded quickly, and he immediately let the chariots that had been gathered move in place.

"Remove the horses, and buckle the number of chariots together to become a solid barrier, hurry up, hurry up!"

The Qi army had no barriers, so they used local materials and sprinkled the bristle bristle on the outside with the carriage to act as a trench. They didn't know that this would be of little use to the iron cavalry with horseshoes installed by the Zhao family... and then Use chariots to form formations and use them as barriers and low walls. In this way, the Qi people quickly established a shelter, which could not only defend and consolidate their front, but also counterattack.

In this way, the bow and arrow, the second most relied on by the Qi army in addition to the chariot, was able to appear on the stage.

...

The Yi people are the tribes who are good at using bows. Qi State was originally the land of Jiuyi, and many Qi people came from Yi people from China, but their ancestral bow and arrow skills have not been left behind, so although Qi State has little support. Famous archers like Yuji and Lu Qi, but the people who are good at archers far surpass Jin and Chu.

Therefore, the Qi army has fought with foreign countries, and the long-range arms are particularly large. Generally speaking, the Qi army has 12,500 infantry, 6,000 strong bows, 2,000 halberds, and 2,000 spears. There are 500 skilled craftsmen, 500 skilled craftsmen, 500 martial artists, and 1,000 soldiers and pawns. This is the approximate ratio of arms in the Qi army.

That was the time of Sima Rangju. Guoxia didn't bring such a high proportion of archers this time, but 40 to 50% still had them. With 15,000 archers on the front line, it was already quite a terrifying long-range firepower strike. The attack on the enemy was no longer a point, but covered the entire surface! A single salvo is enough to keep people away.

The taxis selected by the townships on both sides of the Jishui River, hunters in the townships, bird shooters in Donglai, fish shooters in Shaohai... Archers from all over Qi are divided according to regions and township parties. Afterwards, he was immediately placed inside, counted the bows and arrows, adjusted the bows, and put himself in the best battle state. Those who could not fit in were caught in the gaps of the square formation.

"Guo Xia handled it well..." Zhao Wuxi touched his chin and thought about it. Most of the Zhao army was far from the Qi army's range, and the previous contacts were tentative.

Guoxia's tactics are actually an enlarged version of the four-armed rushing formation. I saw that thousands of vehicles were lined up like a low wall, with bows and arrows and long weapons facing each other in the back.

At first they fought with Zhao's light cavalry. The cavalry who rushed from the periphery ran around in front of the Qiren chariot formation. The hard horseshoes made them ignore the obstacles of the caltrops. Some revolve clockwise, some revolve counterclockwise, but seeing the galloping horses galloping, the flags swaying, the sound of hoofs is like a dull thunder, and the thousands of horses are like a stormy sea, almost engulfing this small barrier. After a while, the horns in the diamond-shaped cavalry rang in unison, and the cavalry surrounding them in all directions made a loud cry at the same time.

However, the Qi people's barriers have been established. Although thousands of cavalry archers whizzed and whizzed, like swallows and crows, and drilled into the car city, most of them were nailed to the carriages outside. There were also a few who flew in from the air, but most of them were beaten by Qi people or swiped with weapons or blocked with shields.

On the contrary, it was the cavalry archers. They swept the periphery to attack a chariot base, but they might be shot by the archers in several chariot bases. At one time, more than 20 horses were stabbed by the counterattack like locust arrows. , for a time people turned their backs.

Zhao Wuxi frowned when he saw the cavalry being forced back by a wave of projectiles, and sent someone down to let Yu Xi, who was harassing continuously, retreat first.

Although the cavalry can beat the chariots that are left alone on the plain, they are inherently disadvantaged in the face of the chariot formation. Later, when Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, he repulsed the enemy many times with the strength of the chariots formed by the chariots and the archers. With thousands of enemies and tens of thousands of cavalrymen of the Huns, he could still hold on, not to mention that today Zhao Wuxi has only 2,000 cavalry. All of them are very precious, and he is reluctant to use them to attack the fortress.

In addition, the battle site is not far from the shore, the land is soft and there are many potholes, which is not conducive to the impact of cavalry, so today's protagonist is destined to be the infantry.

Zhao Wuxi raised his hand, waved the flag fiercely, and gave the order to attack!

...

After the cavalry temporarily retreated, the Zhao army was approaching a distance of half a mile. The Zhao army had about 5,000 men at the front, half of them spearmen, 1,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 swords and shields. Following the urging of the generals, the flag, and the sound of drums, the 2,500 men on the left were the first to fight. They collided with the 2,000 men on one wing of the Qi who were blocking dozens of steps in front of the car barrier, and saw the swords collide, and the soldiers shouted.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Wuxi sent another 2,500 men to fight again, attacking the Qi army directly. Guoxia also waved the flag to be blocked. Rivers, fields, blue sky, earth, thousands of people fighting together.

But they didn't do their best, and they didn't push very hard. The battle is still going on. Maybe it will be fought from the afternoon to the dark and the early morning of the next day. Come out, fight slowly first, and after a while, it will naturally be replaced by new forces. In a battle of tens of thousands of people, it is not possible to decide the winner and loser in a melee, and it must be clearly defined.

At the end of the battle, the striker was a little tired, and Xiang Lu, who had been observing the battlefield carefully, also saw that there was a doorway.

"If this goes on like this, this attack will be thwarted by the enemy's vehicle barrier!"

"I know." Zhao Wuxi was also squinting to watch the battle.

Throughout the battlefield, the Qi people's twenty chariots surrounded their position in a half-moon shape, and the archers were projecting from the inside to the outside. Outside the car barrier, the contradictions of the Qi people and the halberd and shield troops were waiting in formation. Those thick square formations could prevent the Zhao army from breaking into it.

Although Zhao Jun's forward pushed forward very hard, the crossbowmen also succeeded in fighting with the Qi people standing outside the archers through three-stage strikes. They all rained arrows in unison, and the entire battlefield was filled with mourning, and Zhao Jun suffered a lot of casualties.

Ran Qiu also came and said: "If you want to defeat the Qi army, you must first suppress the archers in the chariots. Since neither the cavalry nor the crossbowmen can damage the chariots, they can only rely on the infantry to push hard. In this way, Before the foot soldiers penetrate the Qi people's phalanx, they have to endure the projectiles of the Qi people's strong bows, and the losses after this battle must be not small!" He said worriedly, and then ordered his spearmen to come on.

Ran Ziyou's words are good. If things go on like this, even if the Qi people's 20 carts are leveled, Zhao Jun will have to suffer huge losses. This is what Zhao Wuxi doesn't want to see.

After pondering for a while~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Wuxi suddenly laughed, he clenched his palm into a fist, and slammed into the Qiren chariot, which was constantly spraying arrows from midair, and said sharply: "Or... Destroy the car barrier directly!"

"Destroy..." Ran Qiu was stunned: "How to destroy it? Could it be that the general brought a trebuchet from Wei?" Although he was in Lu, Ran Qiu was at the scene when he was experimenting with the trebuchet. Those who have watched it later also heard about the miracle of the trebuchet attacking Chaoge.

However, Ran Qiu also knew that the large trebuchet was extremely cumbersome, and it would take ten days and a half to build, and it was impossible to quickly build it with materials in the wild. In the future, the delicate parts may be damaged and can no longer be used... Is it possible that after the improvement of the public transport class, this siege weapon can be used in field battles?

"It's not a trebuchet, but another newly made weapon..." Facing Ran Qiu's doubts, Zhao Wuxi smiled mysteriously, then turned around and shouted loudly, "The messenger!"

The messengers responded with awe: "Wei!"

"Go to the public transport class and ask him if the ballistas on the position are properly arranged!"
