Datang Longya

Chapter 49 Pulley Blocks

Li Jing is an excellent commander.

When Leng Feng's [-] people arrived at the army camp, the barracks were changing the arrangement of the barracks, from a circle with the commander's tent as the center and the soldier's barracks as the radius into a triangle.

The same circumference, the circle has the largest area.Triangles are the most stable shapes.

Li Jing has never studied mathematics, but his commander-in-chief thinking and experience in hundreds of battles made him choose this arrangement.

When resting at night, the circular shape can ensure that the circumference of the periphery can be reduced while occupying enough space.This is conducive to the transmission of sentry information.

During the day, each corner of the triangular lineup is light cavalry, which are three arrows that can be shot at any time, and the three sides are heavy cavalry Xuanjiajun and elites.

Leng Feng asked Yang Yi to lead the team into the camp to hand over the documents, while he himself entered the camp of the Xuanjia Army.

Li Shimin paid so much attention to this battle that he even sent [-] troops out of the most powerful Xuanjia army!
What is the Xuanjia Army?It is a cavalry team in which both men and horses wear black heavy armor. The heavy armor on black armor soldiers and horses cannot be split, spears cannot penetrate, and arrows cannot nail. Unless it is a weapon such as a flail, it is difficult to cause an effective blow.

This Xuanjia army is Li Shimin's pro-army. They have followed Li Shimin on the battlefield for many years and are Li Shimin's absolute loyalists.

There are mainly several tactics used by Li Shimin to use the Xuanjia Army: flank assault, ambush, and frontal assault.

Li Shimin's favorite tactic is flanking, or attacking the enemy's weak link.

Li Shimin would usually let the frontal troops engage the enemy first, and when the enemy's spirit was frustrated and exhausted, he would lead the Xuanjia army to attack the enemy's weak links, or directly detour to attack the enemy back and forth.Such an attack is often a fatal blow, which will cause the enemy to collapse.

Frontal assault is to use the Xuanjia army as the vanguard and the large army as the follower to directly attack the enemy's formation, disrupt and disperse the enemy's formation, and finally achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy.

Li Shimin once led 500 cavalry to challenge Dou Jiande's army, and successfully ambushed their forward troops and captured the enemy general Xiao alive.

Except for a small setback by Wang Shichong outside Luoyang City, this team has never failed.Even in the small setback, he won three times the loss.

It can be said that this is Li Shimin's "special forces".

The establishment concept of the fierce team is similar to that of the Xuanjia army, but the fierce team is more inclined to smash the enemy head-on!Wherever the enemy is strong, he will attack him. Often the strongest is the weakest. In many cases, once the strongest is defeated, the enemy will immediately become weak.

Man Niu and Man Niu have a common language. The Xuanjia Army Captain Zhechong leads the members of the Xuanjia Army and the fierce team led by Li Erniu is in a tug of war.

A group of bear-like guys, from coming and going to a stalemate.

The members of the Xuanjia Army who did not get a chance to play surrounded the outside and cheered.

Li Erniu exhaled and said, "One, two, three!"

The members of the fierce team immediately exerted their strength together, and the Xuanjia Army's feet staggered together, and they almost lost.

"Brothers! Use force!"

Captain Zhechong, who took the lead, yelled, and the Xuanjia army immediately let out the sound of howling wolves, pulling back the half-step forward just now.

Under the pull of the eight strong men at 110, the hemp rope was suddenly overwhelmed and broke in two from the middle.

The Xuanjia army was turned on their backs immediately. Li Erniu and the others had received balance training, but even so, several of them sat on their brothers' feet.

"Grandma's! Bad luck! Next time find a rope that's as thick as an arm, let's do it again!"

Captain Zhechong Duan Jun stood up cursing.

Li Erniu had noticed Leng Feng who was watching from the sidelines a long time ago, so he didn't answer, and rushed to Leng Feng with his men, shouting "boss" together!
After Li Erniu shouted, he asked eagerly: "Boss, Sanniu is okay!"

Leng Feng smiled and said: "Of course it's okay, that guy is training new players now, he has good wine and meat every day, so uncomfortable!"

Only then did Li Erniu nod his head: "It's good that it's okay. Sanniu is stronger than me. If he was there, he would definitely be able to pull them out just now!"

Captain Zhechong Duan Jun walked up to Leng Feng and asked, "Is it the landlord of Tianxialou?"

Leng Feng nodded, then took out the Tiger Talisman Li Shimin gave him and handed it to Duan Jun.

This Tiger Talisman was different from the Tiger Talisman owned by Li Jing. What Li Jing held was the Tiger Talisman of the "obedience" level of the Xuanjia Army, while what Leng Feng brought was the Tiger Talisman of the "absolute obedience" level.

After Duan Jun carefully confirmed that it was correct, he led the Xuanjia Army to kneel down on one knee: "I have seen the general!"

Leng Feng helped Duan Jun up and said, "Except for extremely special circumstances, I will not give orders. You should continue to listen to Li Jing's command. I haven't gone to the command post yet. How is the situation now?"

Duan Jun took a branch and drew a picture and said: "We are at the border now, this is where the coalition forces temporarily integrated by the nobles of the Eastern Turks are hundreds of miles away from us, here. But the Western Turks have not sent troops for a long time. , we are not far from the border, supply is not a problem.”

Leng Feng drew a dividing line between East and West Turks on the ground and said: "The West Turks are the same as the East Turks. The military strength is not the strongest, and the supply of the army is also a problem. The only advantage is that no matter what the chaos in the country is, at least the army will not appear after sending troops. The words of the two families. It seems that the Marshal of the Western Turks is very cunning, he doesn’t want to be the top bird and plans to wait for the snipe and the clam to fight, and after the snipe limped and ate the clam meat, the clam got a big shell!”

"Yes!"

Li Jing didn't know when he got out, and Li Ke's dog followed behind him.It seems that after secretly contacting the Xuanjia Army, the plan to enter the barracks fell through.

Leng Feng pointed to the Ba Niu crossbow behind him: "I got the stuff for you, tell me, what do you want the Ba Niu crossbow for?"

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you ask me about your knowledge? It's not because of your apprentice's good deeds."

After speaking, Li Jing handed Leng Feng a small crossbow.

This small crossbow was made by Leng Feng for Li Ke's self-defense. Because the hand crossbows of the Tang Dynasty were too strenuous to string, Leng Feng made Li Ke a composite crossbow with pulleys on the arms, which is not only easy to string, but also more powerful.

Leng Feng pointed to the pulleys on the composite crossbow: "Are you going to assemble the pulleys to the eight-ox crossbow?"

Li Jing nodded: "If the eight-ox crossbow can be wound quickly, then it is a magic weapon to deal with cavalry!"

The eight-ox crossbow that can shoot through even a horse is of course an artifact!

Leng Feng said helplessly: "The cavalry mainly shoots loosely, and the formation is scattered. I'm afraid you have to have one of them!"

It is not easy to make the eight-ox crossbow, and there are only more than 50 in the entire Tang Dynasty!

Li Jing smiled mysteriously: "What if the cavalry gather together, people fight each other, and horses squeeze horses?"

Leng Feng thought about that kind of scene, he didn't need one, only fifty of them could cause three-digit damage in an instant.

You know, after the eight-ox crossbow penetrates a horse, there is still room for shooting a horse to death. Even if the horse is like this, if it is a human, if five stand in a row and be shot, the fifth one will probably be seriously injured.
