Da Wei Chun

Chapter 74 Long Spear Array

"Go on and change your clothes tomorrow!" Li Chengzhi said.

"Lang Jun is talking about wooden armor?"

"It's not just wooden armor!" Li Chengzhi replied, "All spearmen, change to spears five feet long!"

Who says gunmen can't be beat?
In addition to ranged attacks, I can outlast you.

Li Chengzhi sighed.

This should have been realized long ago.

It's all my fault that I just thought about refining armor and mixing gunpowder, but I didn't know I came to the school grounds earlier to take a look?
Even if he is a rookie again, at least he has not played less war games. Isn't the Macedonian spear formation in "Total War" that is not conducive to everything?
Five zhang spears?

Li Feng was stunned: "What if it's a melee fight?"

The reason why the spear is only one zhang is to be able to attack from a distance and defend at close range.If it's too long, it won't work at all.Once the enemy is close, there is only one to be slaughtered.

"Of course it's a knife!" Li Chengzhi sighed.

where did the knife come from...

Just as Li Feng opened his mouth, he snapped back: Lang Jun actually wanted the spearmen to wear swords?

How much iron is this?
Where did he think that Li Chengzhi wanted not only spearmen to wear swords, but also bows, crossbows, arrows, and even shields.

It is nothing more than fighting equipment and logistics, which is exactly what he is best at.

The big deal is to make more money and buy more iron materials.

If the day when Li Song hopes to fight for the world's hegemony comes, and open a few more iron mines, all problems will be solved.

This kind of all-round cold weapon type is not his whim.

Li Chengzhi only remembered when he thought of giving swords to the spearmen. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang army was rampant and invincible, and it only depended on equipment.

The popularity of the bow and crossbow alone is [-]%, and some light cavalry and medium cavalry even have an extra crossbow in addition to the bow.

Infantry has at least three sets: knife, spear, bow, and more than half of the infantry is also equipped with a shield...

Imagine, how should a single branch of the army deal with such an enemy?

You don't even know how to change.

You set up spearmen and others shoot arrows.You set up archers, others raise shields, you set up shield soldiers, and others change to spears to charge...

Maybe you don't have time to change the formation, the enemy has already rushed to your face.

But it doesn't mean that the equipment can be fully equipped all of a sudden, just like building cavalry, you have to take it slowly.

But you can try it out first.

The left and right are not real guys, and it doesn't cost much.

As soon as he said it, Li Chengzhi asked Li Feng to watch the training queue of the soldiers, and he mounted the horse and ran to the monk's village where the wooden armor was made.

That night, Song Lishen brought thousands of Ding Zhuang and made five hundred zhang and five wooden spears and five hundred wooden knives overnight.

Both are simple.

There are pine trees all over the mountains and plains, not to mention the spears of five feet, and they can be cut out for you, as long as you can carry them.

Wooden knives are easier, nothing more than a handful on the board.

Li Chengzhi originally wanted [-] wooden shields, which were roughly similar in shape to the lids of pots. He asked for rope buckles and rope covers on the shield, which could be hung around the neck and tied around the arms.

However, this thing has a higher technical content, and it cannot be made by a specialized carpenter. Li Chengzhi thought about it and asked the carpenter to cut the pine wood into planks one inch thick, three inches wide, and one foot five long.

At that time, if Li Song pulled a lot of iron, he would punch out more steel plates, nail the wooden plates behind the steel plates, and a shield would be formed.

The purpose of nailing the board is that the steel plate is too thin to prevent deformation...

……

In the early morning of the second day, all the soldiers of the brigade changed their clothes.

Li's Ding pawns are basically indifferent, because they know that with Li Chengzhi and Li Song, how could they not be allowed to go to the battlefield in armor?
Song's Xiangding and Sengding were very excited.

At least it means that they are really going to fight, and they will not be allowed to carry swords and guns with their flesh and blood.

Li Chengzhi didn't say much nonsense. First, he picked out two teams. One team switched to spears five feet long, and then wore wooden swords. The other team held wooden guns of ten feet.

This is already an actual combat exercise. For fear of poking the face or blinding the eyes, all the gun heads are covered with cloth.

The team with spears, Li Chengzhi imitated the Macedonian phalanx.

There are ten rows each in length and width, with almost people in front and back.

The first three rows of long guns are laid flat, the middle two rows are raised obliquely, and the last five rows stand firm...

Just as soon as the spear was raised, Li Feng, who was standing on the high platform, suddenly burst into his eyes.

He had never seen such a formation, but that didn't mean he couldn't see the power of this formation.

Even if the spearmen in the front row are not equipped with knives, there is no need to be afraid of close enemies.

Because the soldiers behind will refill their guns.

This is the real spear like a forest...

"war!"

Following Li Chengzhi's voice, the flags of both sides waved down the flags violently.

Li Feng bulged his eyes and looked at the two teams of spearmen under the stage without blinking.

He had predicted the end...

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the battle, the team with the short guns was defeated by the top, and even if a brave person pushed the first layer of gun heads, they would be stabbed by the second and third layers of gun heads.

of course there are exceptions.

Li Chengzhi wanted to see if this phalanx was really as sharp as the legend said, so he arranged Li Xian in the short spear formation, and he was still a vanguard.

In order to be fair, Li Chengzhi arranged for him several old soldiers of the Li family on the opposite side.

Li Xian charged and collided, and the wooden armor on his body was smashed to pieces before he rushed to the first row of spearmen. As a result, before the spear was lifted, the old soldier who abandoned the spear slashed it into the neck with a wooden knife.

But this bastard is not an ordinary shameless person who refuses to admit defeat, and is still fighting with the three old pawns...

Li Chengzhi couldn't help but pouted.

If this was really on the battlefield, Li Xian's ten lives would be lost.

Li Feng's scalp was numb when he saw it.

He knew the spear formation would win, but didn't expect it to be so fast?

Except for the few who followed Li Xian and left and right, let alone the others who rushed to the side of the spearman, the spear head in his hand could not even reach three feet in front of the opponent, so he couldn't stand up. .

If you change it to a real gun, even if you can't pierce the armor on your body, you can't pierce your thighs and face?
No need for a knife at all...

Li Feng seemed to be drunk, blushing, and panting heavily, he asked, "Langjun, what is this formation?"

"Of course it's a spear formation!"

Li Chengzhi replied and waved his hand to stop the battle between the two teams.

There is no need to try anymore, and a complete defeat with a spear of ten feet.

The ancients did not brag. This kind of phalanx is indeed powerful, but it is not without its shortcomings. It can only be compensated by adding cavalry, archers and other arms.

Li Chengzhi thought for a while, and then said to Li Feng, "Come with me!"

Saying so, he got off the platform.

From time to time, he would put a hollow array out.

There are 30 people on each side of the outermost circle, and 20 people on each side of the innermost circle. There are ten floors in total, exactly 500 people.

"squat!"

Following Li Chengzhi's order, the five hundred spearmen knelt down in unison.

The first row holds the shield with both hands, the second row puts the long gun on the edge of the shield, the third row puts the gun on the shoulder of the second row of soldiers, and so on...

If you look at it from a height, the whole array looks like a blooming flower, layer upon layer.

Li Chengzhi pointed: "You have brought cavalry, just imagine, do you dare to rush into such a formation?"

Fuck it?

Li Feng almost scolded.
