Dao Fruit

Under the command, the infantry and archers were arranged in formation, front and back, and the blood and qi immediately rose up, intertwined faintly, and became a whole.

This military formation method has a profound meaning. First, it is easy to command, and second, it can combine all efforts, strength, and heart, twisting them into a blood and qi formation.

Although the soldiers in front of Qiu Yan were all transformed from soldiers, they were like Qiu Yan's fake body, and they were like flesh and blood, which could stimulate blood and qi.

Moreover, this blood and qi battle formation is the foundation of the military. The world of the army is the world of consciousness of the military, and it will not abandon its martial arts, and it will also be involved.

Of course, in addition to gathering momentum, the battle formation also has an important role, which is to suppress extraordinary power. However, these are too far away for ordinary mortals. In their eyes, the real role of the formation is mainly reflected in command.

In ancient times, there were no radios or other communication tools. If a general wanted to command the army, he often had to rely on gongs, drums, flags and slogans as signs to convey military orders. However, if there were few people, it would be easy, but if there were many people, it would be much more difficult to command.

After all, not everyone has a way to avoid the oppression of qi and blood and directly connect with the consciousness of the soldiers. The military order will inevitably be delayed when it is sent back and forth through flags and drums.

In addition, many soldiers in the world are unlearned and illiterate, and they cannot understand the orders at all. When they are in the army, even if they fight in close combat, they cannot understand the changes in the battle situation. Sometimes, even actions such as turning are difficult to understand.

From this point of view, when commanding in ancient times, how many soldiers and horses can be commanded and controlled directly reflects a general's training, military management and command qualities. It is an important symptom to measure the ability of a general, the kind of person who leads more soldiers, the better. It can be said that they are rare, and most of them are famous generals.

Even sometimes, the more soldiers and horses you have, the better. Once the number of soldiers and horses under your command reaches a certain level, even if you can stop the flow of soldiers with a whip, as long as you can't command them in time, they will not only not help, but may become a burden. If the military orders are not communicated, they will trample on each other, killing more people than the enemy.

In this case, the role of the battle formation is reflected.

For a soldier, when training on weekdays, he doesn't need to consider the overall situation, nor does he need to judge the changes in the battle situation by himself. It is enough to just remember the positions and changes of a dozen people around him and cooperate with them.

One soldier is a part. If everyone can remember the positions and changes of himself and the people around him, when the military order is issued, he only needs to inform the leaders. By leading the changes, they can lead other soldiers to follow and change the formation in a short time to adapt to the changes on the battlefield.

However, these things are simple to say. But if you want the soldiers to obey and train, it depends on the ability of the commander himself. Military management, training, and even communication with soldiers and their own prestige are all part of it.

Of course, Qiu Yan, in this world of troops, has mastered the original spirit and can connect soldiers with his mind. Naturally, there is no need for such cumbersomeness. Once he has a thought, everyone knows it. As long as he has a little awareness of the troops, he can cooperate and cover each other when the changes occur, and the entire army can be used as if it were his arm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While the soldiers in front were arranging their formations, there were constant roars behind Qiu Yan, and the ground was faintly trembling. It was the various machines that were being used, constantly throwing out large stones, and the recoil force was transmitted to the ground.

Just now, two scouts were hit by the rain of arrows from the Lu army. Qiu Yan calculated the time accurately and ordered the soldiers in charge of the equipment to throw out pieces of momentum to attract the Lu army.

These devices have different appearances, but similar outlines. Most of them are made of logs and square wood as the base frame, with wheels at the bottom and rotating shafts on the frame. The gun tip is in the shape of a "cross" on the horizontal axis. The gun tip is short at the top and long at the bottom, with short arms and long arms. There are drag ropes tied to the short arms, and accessories such as scorpion tails at the tail end, connected to the swing bag, used to hold stones.

This kind of device is actually a catapult, but the force and angle are different. In order to pave the way for future actions, Qiu Yan directly called it a "cannon".

The methods of making these devices are all recorded in the "Zhibu" of Wujing Zongyao, as the content of the chapters such as the instrument chapter.

The prototype of the catapult comes from the information of the military pavilion, but it is quite primitive. It is not only laborious, but also has a very limited attack range. Its service life is frighteningly short. Moreover, it consumes manpower and is very inconvenient to transport or move, so it was abandoned.

Qiu Yan used this as a blueprint, combined with the knowledge of the previous life, and used the calculation power of the spirit body to derive many branches and visualize them one by one.

The equipment was arranged one by one, and the soldiers replenished the stones. While ejecting them, they also fed back various information.

"Whirlwind artillery carts, lying artillery carts, cart-moving artillery, cart-moving artillery... When these equipment were constructed, I simulated various scenes in my mind and speculated on their service life and attack range, but after all, they were speculations out of thin air, and some details were difficult to take into account. It was just the right opportunity to obtain first-hand combat information! It can also be regarded as taking advantage of the situation."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Pieces of stone flew out, cutting through the sky, drawing parabolas in the air, and finally fell into the forest. There was an immediate shock, but it was soon covered by a burst of shouts and killing!

"Boy! Come and die!" Lu Hu rode the snow-white tiger and rushed out of the forest. The tiger ran and pointed directly at Qiu Yan in the crowd!

Behind him, beasts, carrying riders, followed closely, jumping out one after another, without slowing down, like a torrent rushing!

Seeing this scene, a gleam of light flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes, and his pupils reflected the distant scene. As soon as he thought about it, he issued the order.

In front, several rows of archers immediately took action and raised their weapons. However, they were not bows and arrows, but black-painted crossbows. The power of this crossbow could reach more than two stones and five stones. Several of them took out bows with sufficient power. There is a 1,200-pound crossbow!

The infantry even took out several crossbow beds and spread them out. The long arrows on the crossbows trembled slightly, and the arrow clusters shone with cold light!

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers on whom Ran Lian and others relied on their consciousness were lined up in the infantry phalanx. They watched the tigers and leopards charging at close range and the crossbows appeared. The feeling of chilling and critical moments brewed in their hearts, making their thoughts It became more and more condensed, and gradually began to transform. Of course, there was also the growth of fear.

"Huh?" Lu Hu's expression changed when he saw the crossbow. He raised his hand to give the order, but before he could say anything, the arrows flew out with a cold glow!

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

The cold light was like rain, one of which reached Lu Hu's face in the blink of an eye. The cold air was too sharp, as if it were real. Even Lu Hu felt pain on his face. Then the original spirit in his consciousness burst out, leading the military method. The arrow cluster lost its strength, and then he grabbed it in his hand.

This is because the fake body is only at the peak level of foundation building. If he were in the real world, with Lu Hu's cultivation, he would not be able to let arrows get close to him, let alone with the help of his original spirit.

However, during the military battle, the original spiritual effect was suppressed a lot, and he could only visualize the projection. The reason why it was able to explode was that the arrow was too close to Lu Hu and was affected by the visualization.

Compared with Lu Hu, other tiger and leopard knights do not have such abilities.

puff! puff! puff!

The arrow penetrated the flesh and blood, and the beast's body bloomed with blood. The armor of the knight on its back was dented. Arrow clusters flew past the armor, and the sharp points rubbed against the armor, causing a series of sparks.

Sparks fell, igniting the grass, and the fire grew bigger!

call! call! call!

However, the dense clusters of arrows did not destroy the will of the tiger and leopard, and their charge did not stop. People in the team continued to lie down, roll over, and fall to the ground with the sitting beasts. There were fewer and fewer people on the edge of the team, but the main body remained the same. Move forward like a torrent!

At the same time, he also unfurled his bow and arrows and fired arrows to counterattack!

The arrows were sharp and pierced the flesh of the soldiers and archers, causing the Qiu army to lose many of their troops and fall down.

Blood splattered.

Rumble!

The charging tigers and leopards were getting closer and closer, and the ground shook more and more violently. The bodies of Qiu Jun's soldiers swayed, and Ran Lian, Fu Fong and others in the crowd became even more nervous. If Qiu Yan's consciousness hadn't been in charge, they might have been killed. Something has changed.

finally!

In the sky full of fire, the tiger and leopard cavalry rushed in front of the crossbowmen. Qiu Yan took advantage of the situation and changed his formation. The archers retreated, and the infantry stepped forward, raising their spears and spears, and moved forward.

"Humph!" Lu Hu laughed ferociously. There was a blood mark on his face, which was left by an arrow cluster that he had dodged just at the critical moment.

"The victory has been decided!"

Humming such a word through his nose, Lu Hu slapped the beast under him, and the white tiger howled suddenly!

roar!

Visible air waves exploded, the infantry's spears trembled, and the infantry retreated violently.

Boom boom boom!

The tiger and leopard cavalry continued to attack, and the infantry and archers were knocked away in no time!

Huhuhu~

In an instant, dozens of people were trampled, hacked to death, and turned into pieces of gravel falling down.

Lu Hu even drove straight in. As if entering a deserted place, the snow-white tiger rose and fell a few times before joining the central army!

Uh-huh!

With a flash of cold light, Lu Hu had a long halberd in his hand. He pushed it forward and the tip of the halberd was pointed directly at Qiu Yan's throat!

"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to say your last words!"

Uh-huh!

There was a flash of cold light and blood spread everywhere!

With a muffled groan, Lu Hu rolled off the back of the snow-white tiger. The tiger pounced forward and pressed Lu Hu's chest with its paws as big as cattails!

Press!

puff!

Lu Hu spurted blood from his mouth, his eyes full of shock and confusion. Under him, blood flowed, spreading around, dyeing the soil red.

"What's going on?"

The nearest tiger and leopard riders stopped charging, and one of them withdrew his scimitar, with blood still dripping from the blade.

Behind the cavalry, there was still chaos, with tigers and leopards fighting among themselves!

At this time, Qiu Yan walked slowly over to Lu Hu and looked down at him.

"You must really want to know the reason..."

Speaking of the latter, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky, his gaze seemed to span space and reach the edge of the sky.

The sky is full of light.

"Huh?" Guo Ji was slightly startled, "Did he discover this place?"

"It seems so." The ancestor of the Chen family sighed and shook his head, "This Qiu Yan is still so surprising. How about it, Brother Guo, can you see the reason?"

"No." Guo Ji shook his head, "I'm also very curious about what method he used to incite rebellion against the Nian soldiers!"
