Late Tang

"In the north of Salmon Island, there is Beishan Mountain on the left, and there is a forest on the left. Here you can ambush soldiers and horses. Shouqian can lead our army's [-] cavalry to ambush here. When the enemy arrives, just let them go and don't shoot. Xuancheng led the Iron Wall Camp To meet the enemy and face the battle, you can only lose but not win. You must lead the Daxie soldiers to the foot of Beishan. When you are defeated, don’t retreat directly, but make more twists and turns, and finally lead to the foot of Beishan. Huang Cheng led the engineering battalion to deploy carts on the slope of Beishan , Throwing cannons, the Iron Wall Battalion will lead the enemy to it, and immediately smash the chariots and throw cannons in all directions, disrupting the army formation."

"Shouqian's [-] cavalry soldiers saw the fire in Beishan, and immediately led [-] cavalry soldiers out of the forest to hide and kill them!"

In the dense forest, Liu Shouqian held a scroll and recited softly.He turned his head to the cavalrymen next to him and said, "Did you hear me clearly?"

Li Shugen, the head of the cavalry of the Black Bear Battalion, Zhao Dayou, the deputy head of the cavalry of the Qinglang Battalion, Li Qiusheng, the head of the cavalry of the Iron Spear Battalion, Wang Gui, the head of the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion, and Li Bao, the head of the cavalry directly under the town general's mansion All five nodded.

In Shamen Town, there used to be a cavalry on each side of the battle barracks, and there were 1000 cavalry in the reconnaissance battalion.Since Li Jing and Qingnipu reached an agreement to trade horses with Shenhuo, Shamen Town had thousands of horses at once.The last time the army was reorganized and expanded to the current eighth battalion, the cavalry has also expanded to [-].Except for the two sailor battalions and the iron wall battalion that did not form a cavalry capital, the other four battalions have established a cavalry capital, plus the cavalry capital directly under the town general's mansion directly under the leadership of Li Jing, and now the entire Shamen Town has a thousand cavalry troops.

These 1000 people were expanded on the basis of the original [-] riders, almost doubled.However, due to the new expansion, the number of veteran cavalry in each battalion is much smaller, and the combat strength is much weaker.In this battle, facing the joint attack of Daxie Village and Duli Town, Li Jing mobilized almost all the troops on the island.

In order to play the role of cavalry, Li Jing did not use these treasures separately, but gathered them all together.Arrange an ambush in the Beishan forest, ready to play the role of a one-hit kill.

Liu Shouqian, the deputy ten general of the Qinglang Battalion and the head of the cavalry, was appointed by Li Jing as the temporary cavalry chief of the cavalry assembly, responsible for the unified command of the five thousand cavalry.

"Damn it, it's finally time for us to go out. In the past, the other brothers in the town saw that we had a good food and a good house every day, and they all said that we were just a sham, with a silver-like gun head. Even the last time the bandits were suppressed, all the battalions in the town were mobilized, only our cavalry had never been out. Damn, if this continues, we will be said to be unable to hold our heads up. This time, the opportunity to send It's in our hands, can we stand up in front of the brothers in the town and prove that we are not just a cavalry who can eat and drink, not just a cavalry who can be used as an infantry five, we have to prove that we are a cavalry who can be their Five are great." Liu Shouqian also held his breath for a long time, although he has now been promoted to the deputy tenth general of the Qinglang Battalion in addition to the head of the Qinglang Battalion.

But with the cavalry of the Qinglang Battalion, they have never led the cavalry to the battlefield. They just provide food and drink every day.The treatment of each cavalryman is comparable to that of the corporal commanders in other cities, which makes the other brothers very jealous.I feel that the cavalry are just a group of bodhisattvas who have been offered up, baby, look like.No one saw their usual hard training. Compared with the training of other infantry, the training of cavalry was more difficult.Not to mention anything else, the requirement that once entering the cavalry battalion, you must first sleep with your horse in the stable for three months is enough to make you miserable.So far, all the cavalry are still asleep in the stables, because even the first batch of cavalry has not yet reached the three-month requirement.

"Beishan is already on fire now. If the order continues, we have the opportunity to cavalry. However, we have the opportunity to fight, but whether we want to show our face or our buttocks in front of the whole army this time depends entirely on everyone." Liu Shouqian said loudly road.

"If anyone is scared, I'll go back and have cramps. After the cramps, I have to be responsible for shoveling horse manure for a month." Li Shugen was also a veteran of the Forbidden Army, and he is still the village head of Wangli Village, and his relationship with Li Jing is also unusual. .He joined Li Jing's command only a few days later than Liu Shouqian, and both of them had similar martial arts skills.The two of them had been promoted together as generals of the cavalry, but the last time they were promoted to the deputy ten generals, Liu Shouqian took the position of generals of the cavalry of the Qinglang Battalion and was promoted to the deputy ten generals of the battalion.He has the same qualifications, but Zhang Chengzong snatched the position of Deputy Ten General of the Black Bear Camp.Speaking of which, the three of them used to be the leader of Li Jing's servant team, and he was overwhelmed by Liu Shouqian before, and now that the cavalry was assembled, Liu Shouqian became the temporary cavalry chief, which made him a little jealous.

At the foot of Beishan, there was already chaos.

The fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

Under the attack of the fireball and divine fire, the dry grass laid in advance by the logistics battalion at the foot of Beishan quickly burned.In every direction, there is fire.And when the wind is strong, the fire will be fiercer.The people and horses in Daxie village trampled on each other, and countless people died.

Feng Zhang was also hit by a fireball and burned to death on the spot. After Feng Zhang died, his handsome flag was quickly submerged in the raging flames.As soon as Shuai Qi fell, the surrounding darkness became even more chaotic.But at this time, the drums and horns were booming on the mountain, and the sixteen messengers behind Li Jing had already ordered the drummer and trumpeter to issue an attack order.

Monk Xuan Cheng was originally the deputy ten general of the reconnaissance battalion. This time the army was reorganized, the original auxiliary barracks was changed to the Iron Wall Battalion, and the ten battalion general Wang Zhong was transferred to the tenth general of the Iron Spear Battalion.Li Jing personally served as the ten generals of the Tiebi camp, and transferred Xuan Cheng to be the deputy ten generals. In fact, he was almost the ten generals of the Tiebi camp.

Previously, under Li Jing's strict order, he led Tiebi Ying from the Beishan Wharf to defeat but not to win, and retreated all the way from the wharf.If it weren't for the fact that there were not many changes in the last army reorganization of the Iron Wall Battalion, and the soldiers were all well-trained, the false defeat just now almost became a real defeat.Feng Zhang's Xie Bing fought very fiercely, almost biting them several times.

If you can't fight back after being beaten, you don't need to mention this song.Even Xuan Cheng, who had read scriptures and practiced Buddhism on Shaoshi Mountain, also blushed from being suppressed.

At this time, when I heard the order to fight back, I felt extremely happy.Just at this time, Feng Zhang's soldiers and horses have been ambushed and beaten into chaos, how could he let go of this opportunity.As soon as an order was given, the messengers galloped around on horseback, sending orders loudly.

"Trapezoidal wedge formation, go straight to the enemy's formation!"

Tiebiying used to be four capitals, with 250 and six people in each capital, and each formed a long spear square formation, with 16 people in each direction.But later, because of the establishment of the five capitals, a new capital was added, and it became a five capital with 280 people. Like the Iron Spear Camp, it was a battalion head with more than 1000 people.

When the Iron Wall Battalion attacked, every time it was a square formation, the first two, the last three, and five at once, the five square formations immediately formed a trapezoidal large square formation.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The phalanx of the Iron Wall Battalion does not use drums to keep the rhythm, but iron whistles.The establishment of the Iron Wall Battalion is different from that of other battalions.Adopt the organization of squad, squadron and brigade.A squadron consists of 64 people, a brigade consists of 120 eight people, and a brigade consists of 250 people.There are also eight people in one team, 16 people in a group, and 32 people in a small team.The two-two system is adopted.

In combat, each of them generally forms a square formation, with a depth of 16 people.There are also eight people in depth, and a squadron of 64 people forms a small square formation.The core of the Iron Wall Battalion is the phalanx. The squadron is the smallest phalanx, all of which are general phalanxes. The most standard phalanx is the Wudu phalanx with a battalion of 280 people.The Iron Wall Battalion will never fight separately. They are quite powerful after forming an formation, but if they are separated, they will be far worse than other Huazhuang Battalions.

Amidst the sound of the iron whistle, the well-trained Iron Wall Battalion Commander, the phalanx, began to advance neatly.Five are five square formations, marching forward in a trapezoidal shape, seemingly close together, but there is still a certain distance between them.

The rifles that were more than five meters long spread out, and the phalanx of the Iron Wall Camp was like five hedgehogs with thorns erected all over their bodies advancing.

The already chaotic Daxie soldiers were not their opponents at all and could not stop their advance.

To lance, to move forward, to lance, to move forward.

Row after row of sharp long spears pierced out, and one by one the Daxie soldiers who were blocking the road were pierced.The spears used by the Tiebi Camp were specially made. The three-foot-long spears were entirely made of fine steel, and the spear tip was a two-foot-long triangular thorn.Compared with Ma Qian's lance, such a lance is extremely expensive.The Ordnance Workshop built [-] of these rifles for the Iron Wall Camp, and the cost was equivalent to making [-] ordinary spears.

For what it's worth, the rolling advance of the Iron Wall Battalion at this moment has proved the power of Li Jing's plan for elite soldiers and fine equipment.In front of such sharp and dense rifle triangular thorns, the armor on Da Xie Bing's body was as fragile as paper.The three-edged thorn with the two characteristics of armor piercing and bloodletting, together with the ultra-long weapon with a length of one foot and eight feet, is one foot longer than the ordinary eight-foot spear.Even if the Daxie soldiers wanted to fight back, their spears were still more than ten feet away from the soldiers of the Iron Wall Battalion, and they had already been stabbed into a hornet's nest by countless stabbing spears.

Rolling and rolling, Tie Biying rolled over straight all the way, like a red-hot iron drill inserted into a piece of butter, melting and penetrating in an instant, unstoppable.

"Change the formation! The second phalanx!" The orderly ran and shouted again in front of the formation.

The horn and the iron whistle sounded together. The whistle sounded very confusing to outsiders, but the well-trained Iron Wall Camp immediately understood the meaning.

The Iron Wall Battalion, which had been inserted straight into the middle of Daxie's army, suddenly changed, and the original trapezoidal wedge formation suddenly changed.There are five square formations in the entire trapezoidal formation, and the two square formations on the left and right suddenly turned around neatly. The two square formations on the left began to turn to the left, and the two square formations on the right turned to the right.After the trapezoidal phalanx wedged into the enemy's formation before, the four phalanxes began to expand to both sides, pushing the enemy away forcibly and completely separating them.And the last phalanx followed the channel opened left and right, quickly rowed forward, and continued to attack forward.

Da Xie Bing was in complete chaos. They were first wedged in and then stretched apart, splitting into two.The phalanx at the back rushed forward again, breaking up the Daxie soldiers in front again, and the Daxie soldiers at the foot of Beishan were divided into three parts at once.

Compared with the Black Bear Camp, Blue Wolf Camp and other battalion leaders, the iron wall camp's phalanx formation is relatively easy to be broken by cavalry and even most crossbowmen.The Iron Wall Battalion has a fatal flaw, that is, they cannot be broken. Once the formation is broken, once the enemy rushes into the formation, the soldiers of the Iron Wall Battalion holding a ten-foot-eight long spear in their hands will be finished with a few books.But because of this, they also have the strongest offensive power.As long as the formation is not broken, it will be difficult to stop in front of the dense ultra-long spear formation.

Regarding the use of the Iron Wall Camp, Li Jing had already set the rules for its use, that is, the Iron Wall Camp cannot take the lead.In the army sequence in Shamen Town, under normal circumstances, they had to block the enemy's attack by other Huazhuang Battalion, and after launching a counterattack, the Iron Wall Battalion dispatched to break the formation, and then the cavalry chased them down.

Huazhuangying is an iron shield and a sharp knife, responsible for blocking the impact and counterattack, opening a gap.At this time, the phalanx of the Iron Wall Battalion could wedge in along the gap and divide the enemy formation.Then the cavalry will use the phalanx of the Iron Wall Battalion as a chopping block, like a huge hammer, to repeatedly hammer and kill the pieces of enemy troops that have been squeezed to the front by the Iron Wall Battalion.

This is the core of Li Jing's strategy for establishing the Iron Wall Camp, which has their unique attack methods.

"Forward, forward!" The officers at all levels of the brigade, squadron and squad shouted. A brilliant victory was in sight.

In the phalanx of lances rolling forward, the first five rows of lances clashed directly with the enemy, and countless lances collided with each other to form a wall of three-edged lances, attacking the enemy like a harpoon and like a mane. , Will teach people's offense to bounce back powerfully.The people behind and in the middle were not idle either, they raised their shields to block the incoming bows and arrows.

In such a sharp attack, in front of the spear phalanx, almost every large Xie soldier became a target in short supply, and everyone had to face more than ten or even dozens of long spears.

If it is said that when the Mo Dao soldiers attacked, their long swords were like snow and entered like a wall.In fact, when the phalanx of long spears advances forward, the scene is even more spectacular. Rows of ultra-long spears advance like a forest like a wall, and the real barriers are covered.

Some Daxie soldiers who were still gathering soldiers and preparing to form a formation were desperate to find that under the attack of the infantry phalanx in Shamen Town, the morale of the Daxie soldiers was gone, and the morale of the army collapsed.Just as they were about to turn around and run away, suddenly the ground shook slightly, and there were bursts of rumbling sounds like thunder, and a cavalry army floated like a dark cloud.

The cavalrymen held their lances flat and rushed towards them.

When the wind blew, the red tassels on the cavalry helmets fluttered in the wind. Together with the long scarlet capes on their shoulders, there was a shocking scarlet in the rolling iron stream.Liu Shouqian led a thousand cavalrymen from five capitals to and fro, like a divine soldier descending from heaven.The horses charged and trampled the running and fleeing Daxie soldiers, and immediately the bowstring kept ringing, and the Daxie soldiers fell down one by one.

The Iron Wall Battalion rolled forward, the cavalry charged repeatedly, and the last bit of resistance in the hearts of the Daxie soldiers was suppressed, completely collapsed, and fled in all directions.At the foot of Beishan, corpses were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed into rivers.
