Chapter 48 Zhagu Army Formation

On September 9rd, Zhang Cai was woken up by the heat of the quilt even though he had expected it. The door didn't open, and he went to the garden next to him to wait for a while.

I have to say that the air in the morning is really fresh, Zhang Cai breathes heavily, and his mind is much clearer.

Today's class is infantry class. Although Zhang Cainao doesn't understand what infantry can teach a unit in the army, but the class is over after the class.

When the door opened, Zhang Cai realized that it was an outdoor class, so he stepped forward to observe the environment with his long legs. There were straw figures, wooden stakes, and various wooden weapons, as well as bows and arrows.

[What is this for? 】

Zhang Cai wanted to try the tension of the bow, but when the class bell rang, he had no choice but to give up.

Not surprisingly, I found Tan Yang and Zhu Wu, and the teacher also came. He introduced himself as Yu Xiong, and then listened to the teacher's explanation of what to teach in the infantry class.There are many things taught in the infantry class, from formations to archery, martial arts, and cavalry, etc. The tactics of the Zaku army's infantry fighting against the Iron Man Cavalry. First, 200 students are divided into 5 teams, each with 40 people. Xiong practiced the formation with his hands.At the beginning, I walked around to get an impression, that is, to make a sample.Walking is the one-word long snake, two dragons out of water, three talented heaven and earth, four gates pocket bottom, five tigers and sheep, six Ding Liujia, seven star Big Dipper, eight golden locks, nine sons in a row, and ambush on all sides that Zhu Wu once said. There are ten formations in this empire.Then Yu Xiong said that this is just for training recruits to go out, so don't mess around.

Lao Zhu's mentality immediately collapsed.

Zhang Cai didn't tell a joke, he was studying seriously anyway.

Yu Xiong walked through the ten battles of the empire with him, and then said that he had to come three times for each class, and he saw Tan Yang next to Zhang Cai in the crowd without any mistakes. If he ordered Tan Yang, he would organize it, and he would not give it to us at all. Tan family Qiliner rejected the opportunity.

It was equivalent to finishing radio gymnastics before Yu Xiong started to teach the real thing, and then told Zhang Cai and Ye Lixiao to leave.Zhang Cai wanted to roll up his sleeves, but fortunately, Lin Yang, Zhu Wu and others persuaded them earnestly, and Tan Yang directly lobbied to reconcile the two sides, so Zhang Cai and Ye Lixiao were forced to rest aside instead of getting out.

Ye Lixiao flinched first, and Zhang Cai couldn't support herself, so the two discriminated children just went to the side to rest.

It was already morning, the sun came out, the two hid in the shade of a tree and sat on the ground, looking at Tan Yang, Lin Yang, Zhu Wu, Zhu Dian and others under the scorching sun, they couldn't help feeling that Yu Xiong was not discriminating, but caring.

"It would be even better if there is a roast lamb, a pot of kumiss, and a motouqin." Ye Lixiao said comfortably.

Zhang Cai also nodded in agreement: "I remember that there are smoothies sold on campus. I really want to watch the training while eating iced melons."

The pair of men and women smiled in embarrassment.

"Huang Mao, how do you say that the imperial army fought against the steppe cavalry?"

Ye Lixiao replied: "I've seen it before. Form a solid formation, build a strong fortress, prepare a strong crossbow, and hedgehog spears. Gather into a group to defend instead of attack."

"By the way, aren't you Qi Shuai's apprentice? Didn't Qi Shuai teach you?"

Zhang Caibai gave Ye Lixiao a look: "It's true that I am an apprentice, but do you think my adoptive father will teach me how to arrange troops?"

"Uh alright."

"But although the foster father didn't teach it, I heard him mention it." Zhang Caiyan said, "Building carts to transport grain at ordinary times, and setting up camps with carts when encountering enemies, using carts as walls to stand firm, and deploying strong bows and crossbows. Put up your broad shield."

"Moving city fortress." Zhang Cai said.

Ye Lixiao nodded in response: "Although the method is stupid, it is very effective. At least if I command a cavalry, I won't rush to Qi Shuai's camp."

Zhang Caiyan said: "This kind of military formation is originally a stone weight, and the surface is extremely hard. If I were to command the cavalry, I would get out of the front and outflank it from the left and right. It is best to cut off its food and water sources. If I can't, I will keep harassing. Day and night. Two legs can't catch up with four legs, anyway, the initiative is mine!"

Ye Lixiao nodded: "That's right, that's how the Iron Cavalry has always fought against the Imperial Army. I didn't expect you to be self-taught."

"Haha, maybe it's because I'm a hunter." Zhang Caiyi pointed out.

At this time, under the scorching sun, everyone picked up wooden weapons and began to line up according to Yu Xiong's command. The spearmen were in front, the crossbowmen followed, and the sword and shield soldiers were behind. A basic infantry and cavalry formation was formed.

Afterwards, the formation changed, the square formation became a circular formation, the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward, the crossbowmen retreated, erected shields and erected spears, and the 360-degree long spear spikes without dead ends. Tan Yang, who is equivalent to the chief general, was wrapped in the middle by everyone.

Ye Lixiao Shishi introduced: "This is an army formation used to deal with the Iron Man Cavalry's wandering and shooting, outflanking and turning. It can meet the enemy on either side and will not show the enemy's back. It is the formation that the Iron Man Cavalry hates the most. "

Zhang Cai nodded and continued to study.

Immediately, the circular formation dispersed and formed a semicircular formation again.Hearing Yu Xiong's roar, Zhang Cai knew it was called Yanyue Formation, and the shape was indeed a moon.

After Yanyue Formation, commanded by Yu Xiong, it changed into a square formation again, with shields, spears, and crossbows arranged as before, and then changed into a circular formation.

After going back and forth like this, Zhang Cai suddenly lost interest and started playing with fallen leaves boringly.

At 10 o'clock, everyone was so tired that they were almost dead dogs. Only then did Yu Xiong considerately let the dismissal rest, and then rushed to the tree next to Zhang Cai and Ye Lixiao. Except for Tan Yang, he undressed regardless of etiquette. Lie down on the ground to rest.

Zhang Cai quickly got up to make room.

"Aren't you tired?" Tan Yang asked curiously.

Tan Yang delicately wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Tired and hot, but this is not the reason for me to give up my demeanor."

"Hmph, suffer!" Zhang Cai snorted coldly.

Yu Xiong also found a place to rest, so Zhang Cai boldly went to the place where the bow and crossbow were placed, and picked up the bow.

Try your hand, just a soft bow with a pulling force of one hundred catties.

Skillfully picking up the arrow and drawing the bow, aiming at the grass man a hundred steps away, the jade finger is relaxed, the arrowhead is off the string, flying like a shooting star, and hits the forehead.

Ye Lixiao and Tan Yang came behind Zhang Cai at some point and said hello.

"Piercing Yang with a hundred steps, classmate Zhang is amazing." After the words fell, Tan Yang looked at Ye Lixiao, "Old Xiao, you are a eagle shooter, do you want to compare?"

"There's nothing like it, Zhang Cai's arrow skills are great." Saying so, Ye Lixiao still picked up the bow, flicked his golden hair, took the arrow and shot, and the arrow entered the throat of the straw man a hundred steps away.

Tan Yang didn't have time to praise, he heard Zhang Cai sneer, and only heard the sentence "I shoot the right eye", then bent his bow and set an arrow, which hit the straw man's right eye.

Seeing this, Ye Lixiao regained his spirits, drew his bow and fired an arrow, but he couldn't see where the arrowhead was shot.When Tan Yang was wondering, he heard Zhang Cai scolded shyly: "Ye Lixiao, you are hateful! You bastard!"

Before Tan Yang understood, he saw Zhang Cai shoot the arrow again, but he still couldn't see where the arrowhead was shot.

When he was very puzzled, Lin Yang came forward at some point: "Boda, just now Lao Xiao's arrow shot through Zhang Cai's right eye, and then Zhang Cai's arrow shot through Lao Xiao again. The arrow also stuck in the straw man's right eye, so..."

Tan Yangxi said: "You two's arrow skills are comparable!"
