Chapter 2356 Similarity and Difference

"Out of town!" The Han people are out of the city! 』

Just when Yang Wanwan was a little annoyed and had not yet reached the point of anger, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the direction of Xiabian City, "The Han people are coming out of the city to fight!" 』

Aha?

Yang Wanwan couldn't help but was stunned for a moment.

Is this because the Han people are sure of victory, or is it that the Han people feel that they are very strong and are starting to become dissolute? If you don't hide inside the city wall, why don't you go out to fight? Do you think I can't defeat the military stronghold here, so you think I'm not good enough?

At this moment, Yang Wanwan didn't care whether the complicated look Wang Gui had just projected had any meaning, so he immediately collected the soldiers who were attacking the army stronghold, merged with Wang Gui, and prepared to deal with Congxiabian. Han soldiers coming out of the city.

"what happened? I was almost able to knock down the military stronghold! "That's what Yang Wanwan said when he saw Wang Gui.

Wang Gui ignored him. Anyway, that's what happened. What's fake can't be true, and what's true can't be fake. After all, now is not the time to make trouble in the nest. First, deal with the outside media. Well, the Han people are the business. After the Han people are solved, It’s not too late to analyze the problem in detail.

"Han?" Wang Gui pointed to the banners of the Han generals, "Do you know among the Han generals, there is one named Han?" 』

Yang Qianwan squinted and looked down at the gate of Biancheng, "The Han family... I really don't have much impression... I just heard that a son of Han Sui and Han Wenyue came to Longxi before. His name was Han Guo. I don't know if he is this one." ? 』

"young people? ” Wang Gui raised his eyebrows.

The young man has such strong firepower that he can bend steel. If Han Guo were here, he might really be unable to bear the stimulation and go out of the city to fight, and want to give it a try.

"ha! young people. Yang Wanwan nodded and smiled.

Young people have not been beaten severely by society, um, the military, so they are easy to bully!

"Then let it out and fight... Hehe, it looks like there is something. Are you going to use a spear array?" Are you bullying us for not having enough armor? Wang Gui smiled, and then pointed in the direction of the formation of the Han soldiers who were forming under Xiaben Castle.

Just like a half-crossed attack and a last-ditch battle each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If the Han people are blocked and prevented from leaving the city, it will be relatively difficult to operate. After all, the Di people are on the periphery, while the Han people are inside the city. Four Troops may be sent in any direction. If the door is opened here and then opened there, just running back and forth will tire the enemy to death. If the soldiers are evenly placed in the four gates, the number of Di soldiers is not enough to have an advantage, so we simply release them and face them head-on.

Moreover, both Wang Gui and Yang Wanwan believed that a head-on confrontation would be beneficial to Di Ren. Because the Han people left the protection of the city walls, they also gave up their original advantages. In this case, why should they hinder the Han people's obviously weakening themselves?

Besides, if you make a profit once the battle is over, you can almost declare a decisive victory on the battlefield. Nine out of ten Han soldiers who were defeated and fled would not be able to escape the city!

Yang Qianwan squinted and smiled, "Is this normal... If it comes out without something, I'd still worry about fraud..."

The Han spear array moved forward slowly.

The spear array is divided into three arrays. On the far right of each array, there is the array commander and a flag belonging to the commander. The commander of the village walked back and forth, reminding the commander Wu Shi and the team leader in the queue to pay attention to controlling a certain formation...

The wings were spread wide, giving the impression of great width, and people in six or seven rows in front and behind were slowly moving forward amid the sound of drums. The spear shafts and sword blades swaying gently above the spear array looked like a small forest. The Han spearmen held the spear upright on the right side of the body, holding the base with the right hand and the shaft with the left hand, and moved it slowly to the beat of the drum.

This kind of spear, which is about one foot long, is actually very strenuous to hold flat for a long time, so it can only be held flat when fighting.

Amidst the neat drumbeats, the team leaders and other non-commissioned officers in the spear formation were repeating the key points of the battle loudly.

"Everyone who wants to live, listen clearly!" Don't think about rushing forward, leaving the queue is courting death! 』

"Only those who form a formation can kill the enemy!" If you rush forward alone, you will hit the opponent's gun head! 』

"Listen to the drums and the orders! 』

"Turn sideways and level the gun again, until the tip of the gun is in line!" 』

Standing in the first row of the spear array was a Han soldier named Shitou. He was as ordinary as Shitou of the Han family. He looked at the array of Di people in front. The Di people also sent out the same spear formation. There was also a dense forest of spears and spears above the Di people's heads, which made people feel uncomfortable. On the left and right of the spear formation, there were some guys with bows...

Shitou couldn't help but glance to his left and right, looking at his comrades who were also wearing armor, and he made up his mind. This was also a point that was emphasized during the training. When he felt that there were many enemies and felt a little nervous and scared, he should look at himself. The comrade here, Pao Ze, was also standing with him, and he was no longer afraid.

There was a spear standing on the stone, and then he took out his hand and touched the dagger on his waist. He felt a sense of security in his heart. Although this dagger was not long, it was his last self-defense tool. I heard that it was expensive to make, so it could be used as a weapon for him. One month's salary.

Anyway, all the weapons under the Hussars General are not cheap. When Shitou was receiving weapons, the most common thing he heard was the nagging and complaining of the stewards in the logistics camp, often saying things like "I can't even afford to sell you bastards"...

The two sides quickly approached. When they were about four or five hundred steps away from the opposite side, a sharp copper whistle sounded, and they all shouted "Tiger" loudly. Then they stopped walking, let go and let the spears fall to the ground. The last strength before the battle is restored.

Standing on the city wall, Han Guo looked at the reserved passage gap beside the spear array and sighed slightly. At that position, a long-range attack array was originally to be equipped...

Or a crossbow, or the "ultra-long-range" weapon I've heard about.

Han Guo didn't know what it was exactly, but he also knew that anything the hussar could bring out would be good. But because we were facing the Di people today, and there were other requirements and considerations, we did not deploy long-range troops next to the spear formation like the Di people did.

I wonder if Di people will be fooled?

On the Di people's side, the Han people were quite welcome to attack with infantry. After all, although the Di people also had war horses, their numbers were not very large and they were still mostly foot soldiers. Now the Di people's cavalry are hiding behind, just to make a move at the critical moment. Anyway, you can't expect four-legged cavalry to be able to climb the wall when you attack a city, right? Now that there was a duel outside the city, the Di people also quietly sent out a signal, asking the cavalry behind them to rush forward, preparing to surprise the Han troops who were waiting for the battle.

"As expected, he is a young man..." Yang Wanwan was a little proud and tsked, "The spearmen alone are of no use. The spear is a bit longer, but it is powerful from the front and the wings are not protected. It cannot be wrapped up. He knows how to die... tsk tsk, and he also knows how to use the city wall... Haha, that's useless. Putting archers on the city wall is safer, but if you really want to have a random battle, can you really be so ruthless as to shoot indiscriminately on top of the city? 』

In Yang Wanwan's view, it was as if young people were ignorant and still wanted to be strong.

"superior! Teach the Han people a lesson! Yang Qianwan smiled and said, "Fighting is not about studying in a book!" No matter how good-looking it is, if you don't adapt it when the situation arises, it's nothing! 』

The Di people's strategy was very simple, which was to pretend to face the Han people head-on, but in fact they were sneak attacks on both wings to go around and poke the Han people in the anus. If the Han people change their formation and become hedgehogs, they can use long-range shots, or pretend to attack the city gate and mobilize them to disperse. Anyway, there are many ways. As soon as the Han formation is scattered, the advantage of the spear will become a disadvantage!

After the distance between the two sides reached a hundred steps, the Di people's light archers began to shoot.

Shitou lowered his head slightly, and like other robes, used the front brim of his helmet to cover his face.

The arrows thrown from a distance landed in the queue, making a jingling sound. For Han soldiers wearing iron armor, light arrows thrown by them had almost no lethality.

Sometimes Shitou can't understand why the Di people have the courage to attack the Han people when their equipment is so poor.

A small number of unlucky ones were shot into some gaps in the armor, or on their bare arms, and made some screams, but basically they were not seriously injured, and the queue did not appear scattered because of this.

The spear array on the front of the Di people was also advancing, and the two wings were moving faster than the front. By the time they were halfway across the field, the two wings of the Di people had already protruded forward, forming a concave surface, and they were ready to outflank the Han people. The posture of the military formation.

The archers on top of Shimoben Castle seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and began to cover and fire on both wings of the Han army's formation to suppress the Di people's outflanking action.

Di Ren let out a shout, and suddenly became as tired as a skirmisher, and then rushed forward crazily!

The war drums rumbled on the city wall, which meant that the two sides were about to come into contact!

The village chief, who had already retreated into the formation, stretched his neck and shouted: "Lin!" Forest! Forest! 』

Almost subconsciously, Stone standing in the front raised the spear, stood it upright on the right side of his body, and then began to advance slowly forward. The arrays on both wings of the Han army began to shrink, each defending to the left and right, while the middle array where the stone was located began to push forward amidst the sound of drums, forming a "pin" shape.

The archers on both sides of the Di people began to shoot directly at Shitou and others, and replaced them with heavy arrows. Casualties began to inevitably appear in the array, but no one wavered. The people in front fell, and the people behind them filled in. superior!

The array of Qiang people who were pretending to be in front of Shitou and others were reluctant to move forward, and even began to try to stop. However, due to the lack of systematic training, these Di people were unable to stop like the Han army. They stop in unison and can only slow down slowly. Even so, the Di people in the back can't help but bump into the ones in front, and then push the ones in front forward.

The battlefield began to be filled with various sounds. These sounds were everywhere, sharp and low, making Guan Shi's ears buzz, his heart beating wildly, and his brain was numb. He was just instinctively following. With the sound of drums, they moved forward step by step in formation.

In front of the side of the stone, there was a Di man holding a bow. He was twisting his flower-like butt, dodging two rounds of arrows shot from the top of the city, and then kept firing arrows at the array here of the stone.

Here, Shitou can only move forward by stepping on the steps, and he cannot leave the team to pursue. Although he knows that he must not leave the formation, but he only gets beaten without fighting back, it makes Shitou feel unbearable and depressed, and then he starts to get angry little by little. , the brain that was originally numb due to tension seemed to start to function, and breathing became smoother, no longer panicking and uncomfortable.

At this moment, the Di man fired another arrow, and there was a sound in Shitou's chest. The strong force made him stagger, and there was a pain in his chest. The comrades behind him pushed him and asked him to continue moving forward. Shitou gasped for breath, and when he finally recovered, he lowered his head and looked at his chest. All the while, a heavy arrow with a birch rod was stuck in the iron armor leaf on his chest. It was shaking up and down as he walked, and most of the thick arrow was left outside.

He subconsciously freed his hand to pull out the arrowhead. The arrowhead seemed to be deformed due to the collision with the nail plate. It was not hanging on the flesh. He just felt that there seemed to be a stream of liquid flowing through his chest, and then the next moment, Shitou felt There was a burning pain, but luckily it didn't penetrate deep into his flesh, because it didn't affect his breathing at all.

The teammate on the left suddenly screamed and fell to the sky with a heavy arrow in his face. The teammates in the back row quickly stepped forward to fill the battle line.

"grass! Big bubble! 』

The one who was shot was Shitou's teammate Da Paozi. Da Paozi's actual surname is Bao, but due to an injury, he lost a few teeth and his voice was always snarky and loud, so he became Da Paozi. Together with Shitou and seven or eight other brothers, they all eat in a horse spoon...

An unknown fire arose in Shitou's heart, and all the tension and fear in his heart disappeared, and he didn't even feel the pain in his chest. His eyes were spitting fire, and his steps were beating the drums as he continued to move forward towards Di Ren.

Even if Di Ren tried to stop or retreat, amidst the chaos, Di Ren's quality was not enough to support him in making a sophisticated tactical evolution like Dragon Riding Dance, and he could only end up like most people. That way, with a little framing, A goes up and comes into direct contact with the Han army formation...

The drumbeat of the Han phalanx suddenly stopped and turned into heavy drumbeats at intervals, as low as the beating of a heart.

"sideways! Flat shot! 』

In the queue, the roar of the commander reached his ears. The stone body turned around, then leveled the spear, with his left hand in front and his right hand in the back, and pointed the spear in the direction of the frontal enemy array.

The key point of this action is to use the left hand as the support point, and the right hand is mainly responsible for the control function. You can adjust the position of the grip from the middle end to the tail end of the spear shaft, which can not only save energy relatively, but also increase the attack range of the spear. maximum.

To deal with dense spear formations or spear formations, generally speaking, long-range strikes are more suitable. Of course, close attacks also have advantages if you stick in them, but you must first be able to stick in them. The dense formation of spears and spears was like a hedgehog, covered with thorns, especially the nemesis of the cavalry. It was not until the emergence of firearms in later generations that this tactic withdrew from the stage of history.

When facing spearmen who are like piercing a wall, it is difficult for soldiers to accurately judge the timing of the thrust. If they rush towards the spearmen on the opposite side and lunge, they will often hit the opponent's spear head without paying attention, and they will not Didn't stab each other. Therefore, when pikemen confront pikemen, this kind of slow approach and then looking for opportunities is the most suitable for the civil war mode between pikemen.

Relatively speaking, the armor is relatively strong and provides a certain degree of long-range protection. A spear with one more length than a spear means one more lethality than a spear. After enduring a certain amount of long-range damage, The lines of both sides collided.

The Di people have almost no decent training. Although it seems to be the same thing when they are in formation, when they actually fight, you will find that some Di people can't help but be impulsive and rush forward with great enthusiasm. Then they were hung on spears and used as meat skewers. Some of them were stabbed to the side because they didn't choose the target well, resulting in the spear's killing distance being shorter...

When dealing with other types of soldiers, there is no problem with spears stabbing at an angle. It is still a tactic. However, if you stab at an angle against soldiers of the same type, you will naturally be easily stabbed with bloody holes by the spearmen on the opposite side.

After the initial hot-blooded but reckless men fell, what was left were some more cautious and experienced soldiers. After the two sides got closer, the spears and spears were intertwined, tapping each other, and the cold light of the spears and spears flickered. , are extremely threatening, and under mutual deterrence, they are all carefully measuring the attack distance.

Some of the Di people's spears suddenly collapsed in this situation, or they rushed forward like crazy, and some dropped their spears and ran back...

Imagine that you are standing in front of a wall of extremely long nails, and then watching these long and sharp nails swinging in front of you. Not everyone has the courage to face the head of a gun or a spearhead.

Shitou and others benefited from continuous training, so they did not feel much trypophobia when facing the Di people's spear formation. However, this was not an exercise after all. The spearheads in front of them were shaking slightly, forcing them to move around quickly. When you reach the assassination attack range, you must stop and cannot continue to approach.

The soldiers on both sides faced the opposite spear heads and moved forward with the smallest steps. The sound of the spear shafts and the gun shafts colliding with each other was like hitting the head and nerves of the stone, causing a layer of sweat to start to appear on his forehead. Come. The Di people on the opposite side also had a hard time. They had to face longer spears, but the Di people also had an advantage. The spears were longer than the spears, which also meant they were heavier. The spearman may not be able to complete the qualified assassination action, but instead gives the pikeman an opportunity to attack.

Shitou's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and his whole body was in a state of high tension. In fact, the confrontation lasted less than ten breaths, which seemed as long as ten thousand years to him.

Shitou felt that he was being patted by his comrade behind him. He subconsciously shrank a little to make some room. Then from the corner of his eye, he saw the comrade behind him secretly take out something and put it on his side. …

"collapse! 』
