The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 62 Testing the New Formation
Zhuo County, West Daying.

The sound of war drums was beating deafeningly, shaking everyone's heartstrings.Today is the day for the confrontation drill between the Xuanjia Army and the Raging Wave Army.

The number of Xuanjia Army has grown to [-], and the main general is Luo Shixin.

The predecessor of the Nutao Army was the Xiaoguo Army, the number one force in the Sui Dynasty, with a number of [-], and the main general was Qin Qiong.After being trained by Qin Qiong's people, it is the most powerful battalion among the three armies.

Although the number of the Xuanjia Army is small, all of them have the combat power of a lieutenant. Gradually, the name of the most powerful army in the army has fallen to the Xuanjia Army.

Of course they are not convinced.

The Xuanjia Army refused to accept it.

Yang Tong said: If you are not convinced, then use strength to decide the winner.

That's how today's showdown came about.

It's just that the number of the Xuanjia Army is half that of the Raging Wave Army, but they are not afraid of any of them, and it is no problem to say that they can fight ten.

This angered the Raging Wave Army half to death, since you are arrogant, then do it.

The first to appear was the angry navy. Ten thousand soldiers lined up quietly and neatly, standing proudly, creating the momentum of one hundred thousand or one million soldiers.

"Crack", "crack", "crack"...

A sound similar to applause came, from far to near, once and for all, shocking.At first everyone thought it was the sound of applause, but when the sound got closer and closer, everyone turned pale in shock. It was definitely not the sound of drums.

It was the sound of footsteps, the footsteps of five thousand Xuanjia troops gathering together.

Their condensed and uniform footsteps are like applause, which is more shocking than applause.

Before the soldiers and horses arrived, the sound of footsteps was already breathtaking.

The Xuanjia army gathered together neatly, one after another, forming an incomparably huge phalanx, coming over the city with a prosperous army and high morale.

In the end, they all gathered on the square. Opposite the angry navy, the footsteps of five thousand soldiers were always uniform, and even the war horses were not in the slightest disorder.

"Boom"!With a bang of drums!The moment it sounded, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

The space between heaven and earth seemed to stop at that moment: the thundering drums and shaking footsteps also disappeared at that moment.

The sudden change, the orderly appearance of the army, none of the three thousand soldiers made an abnormal sound, and there was no noise. They lined up rigorously, one after another, just straight lines.

At this moment, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard clearly.

Yang Gongren stroked his beard and said in a low voice: "What a head start! It's interesting."

"Compared only to the momentum, the navy is not weak, and the combat power is so exciting." Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, said here, waved his hand, and said: "Come on, pass the order. Let them start!"

"promise!"

A black armor yelled loudly to the lower part of the city tower: "The competition begins!"

"Dong dong..."

The voice fell to the ground, and suddenly a dull drum sounded.

The heavy and messy sound of the horse's hooves on the ground, the panting and snorting of the war horses were getting closer, and the Raging Wave Army rushed over on their horses.They were magnificent, and the billowing smoke and loud shouts made them look like a flood.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers of the two armies rushed towards each other.

Five hundred steps...

Four hundred steps...

Three hundred steps...

The Raging Wave Army slowed down slowly, even the Turkic people who were skilled in bowing horses could not hit the target accurately in the rapid sprint, decelerating archery is the basis of riding and archery.

Similarly, the Raging Wave Army needs the same.

When the Raging Wave Army reached the 250th step, they all bowed their bows and waited to shoot...

Because there is no point of focus for cavalry and archery, the bows and arrows used are mostly short bows. The most lethal range is within [-] paces, but when the two armies are fighting, people swarm in one place, as long as they are facing the direction, they can hurt people without aiming... …so as long as it is within the range of an arrow, it can cause damage to the enemy.

Especially the arrow feathers brought by the salvo of thousands of bows...

The effective range of the short bow used by the Raging Wave Army is as high as two hundred paces...

Just when the Raging Wave Army was about to enter the effective range, Qin Qiong was shocked to find that the Xuanjia Army in front suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the soldiers behind them full of crossbow arrows!
The cunning Luo Shixin actually hides a large number of crossbowmen behind the Xuanjia Army...

All over the sky, crossbow arrows are coming from the sky!

Qin Qiong was dumbfounded and at a loss!
The effective range of the Fuyuan Crossbow can reach [-] paces. At this time, the distance between the two armies is less than [-] paces. No matter how fast the Raging Wave Army is, the reaction is too fast. , it is impossible to avoid it.

There is no escape, there is no escape.

In an instant, relying on the huge power of the Fuyuan crossbow machine, the headless crossbow arrows still shot the soldiers of the Rage Army rushing forward. If they hadn't been wearing protective gear at their vital points, they would have been "dead in battle"!
"Bite them! Shoot them in series!" Luo Shixin's eyes were shining with scorching light. He used a formation called Modao Formation, which was jointly created by Yang Tong and Li Jing. After actual combat, I don't know how powerful it is!

The Xuanjia Army is the pilot unit of the Modao Formation. This duel is not only a day for the Xuanjia Army and the Raging Wave Army to compete, but also a test of the new battle formation.

The Xuanjia Army without horses is indeed slower than the Raging Wave Army, but before they want to be a target, the ferocious and overbearing crossbow arrows will shoot the opponent into a sieve first.

In fact, there is no need for Luo Shixin's order at all. The Modao formation has undergone training and uninterrupted confrontation exercises. Also keep shooting.

The powerful firepower net abruptly stopped the Nutao army at 150 paces, and even pushed them down to [-] paces.

……

Above the city tower, after the uproar, there was a deathly silence!

One by one was stunned.

The mighty Raging Wave Army was shot so weak that they couldn't fight back?
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have believed this fact. Hundreds of people would have been lost before contact.

This is too exaggerated!
Li Jing also had a shocked expression on his face. The Modao formation was created by Yang Tong, and he is the perfecter of the Modao formation. He thought he knew the Modao formation well, and thought that the ultimate move of the Modao formation was the powerful Modao hand. , but never thought that crossbowmen are also the ultimate move to kill the enemy.

Compared with the shock of the big bosses watching the battle on the tower, Qin Qiong who was in the game roared loudly: "Scatter and press up..."

Once the crossbow arrows are entangled by the method of chain shooting at this distance, it will be difficult for the cavalry to turn around, let alone retreat in a short period of time. The more they retreat, the more chaotic they will be. Luan saw through this point, and rushed forward to fight with the Mo Dao army regardless of the loss, so that the power of the crossbow arrows would not be able to be exerted.

Completely caught in a beating situation, and lost hundreds of people before the fight, all kinds of situations aroused the blood of the Rage Army, one by one roared, ignoring the "crossbow arrows" that came quickly, and forcibly piled up with "flesh and blood" Figure out a way forward.

Hundreds of the Raging Wave Army fell down, after all, the Fu Yuannu was not as good as the machine guns of later generations, and could not completely suppress the firepower. Under the desperate assault of the Raging Wave Army, the distance between the two armies was shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luo Shixin saw that the Nutao Army had shown a real murderous intent, so he licked his lips, and when the Nuotao Army approached sixty steps, he issued a new order: "All the Xuanjia troops step forward to form an array, and all soldiers receive their crossbows and wait Fight, all archers shoot me!"

Numerous arrows crossed the Xuanjia Army from the black formation and shot towards the Nutao Army's formation. The sharp arrow feathers pierced into the "body" of the Nutao Army, and every one of the Nutao Army who left their vital points consciously withdrew from the battle!

Without the suppression of the crossbow arrows, the Raging Wave Army finally launched a long-lost acceleration.

Qin Qiong said: "Drag into..."

"Dangdangdang..." Before he finished speaking, a burst of dark crossbow arrows greeted Qin Qiong. He reacted very quickly and danced the big gun so that the wind and rain could not be seen. The shadow of the gun flew like flying, covering his figure, and then It was as if there was a glass cover covering him, all the arrows were thrown out by him, and none of them pierced his defensive circle, which is amazing.

However, after one round, the second round of arrows greeted him again!
Luo Shixin's intention was simple, that is, to take a beheading action to make the wrathful army leaderless. Of course, because of Qin Qiong's bravery, it didn't happen.But the angry navy also lost the command of the general for a while.

If it's an actual battle, the enemy's main general is probably over.After all, there is only one Qin Qiong in the world.

Just when Qin Qiong was blocked.

The Rage Army let out a heart-piercing roar. Accompanied by an indescribable roar, they swept across a distance of sixty steps like a whirlwind, and killed the Modao Army at the head of the battle, as if they were declaring war on the Xuanjia Army again.

Facing the approach of the Raging Wave Army, the fearless giant shield hand went up to meet it.

Amidst the heavy muffled sound, the horse collided with the giant shield. Under that terrifying force, the three Mo Daomen, who were firmly resisting the triangular frame of the giant shield, successfully received the terrifying impact.

But despite blocking it, the giant shield sank deeply into the ground.

"blocked!"

"blocked!"

Yang Tong, Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong, Yang Gongren and others... stood up involuntarily!

Yang Tong and Li Jing looked at each other, and they both saw great surprises in each other's eyes.

As we all know, the reason why the cavalry is terrifying and called the king of land warfare is undoubtedly due to his extremely powerful impact and flexible mobility.Using the impact force to tear apart the local formation, disrupt the opponent's deployment, and use flexibility to find local weaknesses is one of the secrets of the cavalry's victory.

Conversely, if you want to ride with infantry, you must first limit the impact and mobility of the cavalry.

This is a simple sentence to say, but it is extremely difficult to do it.

The weaknesses of cavalry are there, as long as you have a little understanding, you can know it, but it is really difficult to defeat cavalry with infantry.This is also the main reason why the cavalry has been able to traverse for thousands of years and dominate the era of cold weapons.

However, the furious wave army, which is doing its best now, did not break through the Xuanjia army formation. On the contrary, the Xuanjia army firmly resisted the cavalry's assault.

All of this was within Yang Tong's expectation.

Each giant shield supports two tripods, one large and one small, which are folded behind the giant shield when not in use, and opened when in use to reduce the impact of the enemy.

This small improvement of the giant shield has an indescribable effect on the war. At least, it resisted the impact of the cavalry, but the soldiers were not damaged at all.

Cavalry without impact, is it still called cavalry?

The wooden Mo Dao drew a beautiful arc in the air, and it was drawn fiercely and precisely, the force was amazing, and the air was whipped with a 'swoosh' sound.

The Raging Army, who hadn't woken up from the reality that the cavalry's impact force was broken, collided with themselves. The unlucky children who rushed to the front suffered this "Modao" forcefully, and they even It was too late to even scream.He immediately fell to the ground.

Mo Dao has one stick per person, and one stick knocks down a raging wave army, without any sense of disobedience!
Ruthless, accurate, Qi!
This scene is equally shocking!

God, is this still my former colleague?

Is this still the incomparably tyrannical Raging Wave Army?

All the people watching the battle wiped their eyes involuntarily.

How can it be?When did the Raging Wave Army become so unforgiving?In the daily full-strength confrontation, they have never been knocked down by one blow, have they?
What exactly is going on?

……

"What a great power!"

"One person swung a stick and brought down a strong soldier who was one out of ten. This kind of efficiency is simply unheard of!"

The jaws of civil servants and generals could no longer close.The shock I felt today is enough, I never thought that there would be such a surprise in the future.

"No!" At this time, Li Jing pointed to Mo Dao's hand who was still attacking with his stick, "Where did you see them hitting the opponent's soldiers with their sticks?"

"In front of the pinnae, on both sides of the forehead, this is the Achilles' heel!" Yu Chigong almost blurted out with sharp eyes.

In front of the pinnae, on both sides of the forehead.This is the position of the temple, the fatal Achilles' heel!
"It's really there!" Yuchi Jingde glanced at the battlefield below.He suddenly said: "Aren't they too daring to strike? Once they hit this place, they will faint at least or die at worst. This force is difficult to control, and... where are they sure to hit?"

"I drew a lot of meridians and acupoints and hung them in the barracks. I circled the places that are likely to be fatal with red pens, and asked the soldiers to look at them every day. Everyone is required to remember where is the most suitable place to attack and where it will not hit. Dead people, how can it be easy to kill people!" Yang Tong said triumphantly
There are black lines on everyone's foreheads!

Nima, who would have thought of letting all the old women and rough men go to study acupuncture points?
However, this also opened the brains of all the generals, thinking about getting some meridian and acupoint maps afterwards, so that the soldiers can take a look at them every day.

Everyone has different opinions!

And the battle in the battlefield has entered the finishing stage.

The Modao team advanced step by step like a wall and a mountain. The Nu Tao army, which had lost its impact, was unable to resist and was forced to retreat step by step.As long as someone comes forward to command, the marksman who is responsible for sniping hunts and kills!

The defeat is set!

The No. [-] force in Jizhou was defeated by the Xuanjia Army from the front, and the defeat was crisp and inexplicable!
With a wave of Yang Tong's hand, a soldier brought up a giant card. Yang Tong set it up with his own hands, explained the use to everyone, and said, "Don't underestimate this small change, but it can reduce the impact of the cavalry." If there is no tripod, the human shield will fly, once a hole is torn open by the cavalry, and if there is no good general to command, a large army will be finished. So the craftsman had an idea , It can change the outcome of a great battle! In the future, everyone should not underestimate skilled craftsmen."

Everyone responded with awe.

"Your Highness, a female general came from outside the barracks and said she was looking for you." At this moment, a soldier came to report.

"Female general?"

Where is the female general?In the entire army, there is only one female general, the patriarch of the Qi clan.
