Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Once the number of people on the ancient battlefield exceeds [-], it will be a dense crowd, and the end will not be seen.

In the absence of communication tools, human speech is inaudible and covered by a large amount of noise.

Then commanding the army mainly relies on command flags, military drums, or musical instruments to command the army to form an army formation and give full play to the advantages of numbers.

And the array, in fact, is not as mysterious as in novels or film and television dramas.

What five elements and gossip formations, the Tiangang Big Dipper formation can be invincible when formed into a formation, those are all exaggerations in the storytelling.

In fact, the formation is the tactical unit in which the various arms and combat units of the general are coordinated together. In fact, it is the same as playing games, with the meat shield in front and the output in the back, but with more people and more complex.

Right now, Li Jinglong's army is arranged in a circular formation.

This formation is a defensive formation on flat terrain with no terrain to rely on.

Li Jinglong obviously intends to wait for the attack on the defensive, stop with silence, and first observe the opponent's flaws.

Following Zhu Gaoxu's orders, the army formed a phalanx and began to advance.

The Herald of the Iron Ming Army waved the military flag, and the messengers on horseback passed by the messenger. The command of the military flag was to advance the attack.

There are also trumpeters in the army, and the orders are conveyed again, making it easier for soldiers to distinguish.

With exciting music sounded.

During Wen's time, morale rose again.

Small phalanxes composed of 25 people each formed a medium-sized phalanx, advancing towards each other like a torrent of steel.

The phalanx needs to be aligned front and back, and the square is like a rope. Every time you walk a certain distance, you have to slow down slightly to organize the formation. It looks rigid, but it is actually very effective. It is composed of dense soldiers, like a wall with a wall. The iron wall is approaching, but the disadvantage is that the two wings are weak, which is a common formation for infantry to attack.

drink!drink!drink!
The phalanx began to move forward.

It is relatively common for musical instruments to cooperate with military command, but this is the first time I have seen that musical instrument. Zhu Yuanzhang on the high platform asked curiously: "What kind of musical instrument is that?"

Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, explained: "That is a trumpet, which was invented by the national division. It makes a relatively high-pitched sound, and it has a miraculous effect on boosting morale."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiao: "You can always invent some strange things."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "I won the prize, it's all just speculation."

Everyone was a little speechless and pondering blindly.
Afterwards, everyone continued to watch the changes on the scene.

Li Xiao looked at the dense army formations on both sides, and thought to himself that this is the way to win in the cold weapon era. The soldiers are very dense, and there are teammates on the left and right. To get close, you only need to face the enemy in front. Forming such a formation is like a life harvesting machine on the battlefield.

However, with the advancement of weapons, the future war will be just the opposite. The formations are far apart from each other. Otherwise, according to such a dense fighting method, one shell will blow up a large area.

At this point, the battlefield has already begun.

The archers of Cixiwei started the first round of bow and arrow shooting. In ancient wars, it was the archers who really brought the lethality, accounting for half of the kills.

Most of the archers are big men with thick backs and chest hairs longer than their hair. Their physical fitness is even more exaggerated than that of the soldiers in the front row.

Moreover, archers don't have nothing to do after shooting arrows. Archers are generally equipped with horizontal knives, and their melee combat ability is not bad.

slam-la-

The rain of arrows hit, like locusts crossing the border, densely packed.

The Tie Ming army immediately formed a shield formation, squatting down with the spear in hand, and the shield hand holding the shield high above the head.

25 people form a small square, and the shields of the small square can just cover the 25 people. The arrows pass through the gap, and if someone is hit by an arrow, they immediately fall to the ground and are eliminated.

Because the arrows were wrapped in cloth, their strength was much weaker, and the casualties caused by this round of arrow rain were not many.

shhhhh--

The Tie Ming Army's arrow rain was also fired. The two sides fired a round, but it didn't have any effect. This martial arts competition is not about killing the enemy, but depends on the quality and formation of the two armies. Bows and arrows are not very effective.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly issued an order, the trumpet sounded, and the Tie Ming army began to charge.Under the blessing of the phalanx, his soldiers rushed towards the circular formation of Cixiwei like a stream of iron.Li Jinglong didn't panic, he issued an order calmly, and his army responded perfectly immediately.

Tie Ming's army approached step by step, and the two armies met.

The prelude to the battle has begun.

The spears of the soldiers at the front began to intersect, and the scene was thrilling.

Zhu Gaoxu waved the flag, and the sound of the trumpet sounded. This was the signal for the breakthrough of the right wing. This was Zhu Gaoxu's most commonly used edict.

Although the opponent's circular formation is the same as an iron barrel, its strength is extremely dense. Once the opening is opened, it can break through from the inside. To open the opening, it depends on the strength of a single team. for a certain purpose.

Both sides did not fight. Although it was a martial arts show, the spear was wrapped in cloth, but it was very painful to stab the body, and the timid people would probably be too timid to fight.

"Soldiers, for the glory of the Tie Ming Army, go!"

The voice of Qianhu General headed by the Tie Ming Army resounded through the sky, inspiring the morale of every soldier, and the roars and wailing of the soldiers resounded through the sky.

Both Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong are watching the situation nervously, and their decisions will determine the outcome of the battle.

Cixiwei's circular formation was not directly rushed away by the enemy, but was evenly matched.

Li Jinglong was determined, which meant that his guard soldiers had the strength to fight, and the chance of victory was very high. He calmly issued an order and shouted: "Hold me, you are the most powerful soldiers in Ming Dynasty."

His voice was firm and powerful, inspiring the resolve of every soldier.

"Kill!" The soldiers of Cixi Guard burst out with a strong impact and belief. They were older than the new army on the opposite side and had endured more. At this time, they burst out with a fearless momentum.

They all knew that the outcome of this battle would determine General Li's fate, and one of the generals shouted loudly: "Brothers, for General Li, for so many years of hard training, we must not be underestimated!"

Other soldiers also shouted loudly: "For General Li, for the reputation of Cixi Guard."

Seeing that one of the teams of the new army was about to rush in, suddenly, for some unknown reason, there was a burst of strong willpower, and they were pushed back again, and the war fell into a stalemate again.

As time went by, the soldiers fell one by one, showing a fever.

The battle of this guard has been put into battle, and there is no way to command more troops. The next command will not be very meaningful. They will fight non-stop according to orders and usual training, unless everyone is equipped with a Headphones, otherwise, after these soldiers are released, they will either win or lose, except Mingjin withdraws.

The main charge of the Tie Ming Army commanded by Zhu Gaoxu failed and was defended by the opponent. The casualties of both sides have exceeded [-]%, and if one is missing, someone will immediately make up for it.

If there was such damage on the battlefield, one of the parties might have collapsed.

But this is martial arts, not a real battlefield.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately changed his tactics. Fortunately, he left two hundred households in the rear. At this time, he could order these 200 people to act as surprise soldiers, trying to find a way to break the current situation.

The two teams began to rush forward according to the designated direction according to Zhu Gaoxu's order.

When Li Jinglong saw this, he immediately dispatched two groups of surprise soldiers, and made corresponding adjustments to stop them, which was also looking for opportunities. While ordering the soldiers to hold their positions and stalemate with the opponent's main force, he kept sending small groups of troops to fight back.

The battle has entered a dark stage, and the soldiers on both sides have shown incomparable courage and tenacity.They were constantly looking for each other's flaws in the fierce confrontation, and the decisions of Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu became particularly important.

As long as a group of surprise soldiers can break the current deadlock, the battle will be over immediately, but Zhu Gaoxu found that no matter what he did, he would be seen by Li Jinglong and then cracked.

Zhu Gaoxu issued an order from the very beginning, ordering the whole army to attack with all his strength, showing his might and determination in this battle, and at the same time using the two teams of elite soldiers to find opportunities, but he found that because he had no On the battlefield, his own instructions are still delayed.

And Li Jinglong was able to quickly observe the opponent's actions, and also issued blocking instructions, capturing exactly what he wanted to do every time.

"Damn it, Li Jinglong is not as weak as he imagined. He is also very powerful in commanding an army of 5000 people."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help feeling slightly anxious.

He originally thought that with the quality of the new army, he could directly crush the opponent, and the two elite centurions he had prepared could tear apart the army.

The result was a miscalculation, the willpower of the opponent's army was no worse than that of the new army, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and their own surprise soldiers did not have the effect of surprise soldiers.

"It would be great if I could use cavalry troops. Infantry battles are not my specialty!"

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, if he loses this battle, he will lose his old face, and it will be difficult for his brother-in-law to do business.

The actual situation is also the same. On the real field battlefield, Zhu Gaoxu is like a sharp knife on the battlefield by virtue of his bravery. The combat method is the same as Zhu Di. He leads the cavalry to attack continuously. formation.

On the battlefield, once the formation is scattered, it is almost impossible to organize it, and then you will face the massacre of the enemy's intact formation.

"Okay, just keep going and you'll win!"

At this time, Li Jinglong had faintly seen the dawn of victory in his heart. The physical fitness of the soldiers of Cixi Guards was indeed much worse than that of the opponent, but they survived by relying on their willpower and keeping the army from being washed away. Training day and night is not in vain.

"more importantly"

Li Jinglong secretly said in his heart: "Although the opponent's new army is young and strong, in terms of physical fitness, it is definitely higher than Cixi Guards, but there is one thing that Zhu Gaoxu overlooked, that is endurance. The soldiers of Cixi Guards are all farmers. I usually have to farm, and after a busy day of farm work, I have to train in formation. This kind of endurance is incomparable to those recruits! The battle only needs to last for another half an hour, and the opponent will weaken and exhaust. The outcome will be revealed.”

This is Li Jinglong's plan.

He didn't want to fight against Zhu Gaoxu at the beginning, but defended in a circular formation. As long as he can hold back the opponent's large army, the other two teams will stop Zhu Gaoxu's surprise soldier's intentions according to his own wishes, and fight in a stalemate. If the opponent's soldiers are exhausted and their own stamina is superior, then the balance of victory will be tilted towards their side.

The battle lasted for another quarter of an hour, neither side had the upper hand, but it was obvious that someone on the Xinjun side had already lost their physical strength, and their legs hit the board.

You must know that the armor they wear is heavy, and with the two or three meter long spears, they can't stand it for a long time. At the last critical moment, the competition is endurance and willpower.

But for both sides, this is an exercise that cannot be lost. No matter what the result is, they must persevere to the end. Therefore, even if the physical strength of the new army has declined, they still clenched their teeth and persisted. The formation is still maintained. The soldiers Stabbing each other with long guns.

On the high platform, those who watched the martial arts performance were all dumbfounded.

Generally speaking, the performance of martial arts will soon determine the outcome.

But this martial arts performance was really surprising. Both sides fell into a stalemate. Both the new army and the Cixi Guard showed a strong desire to fight.

The generals of both sides are on the same level in terms of command. Li Jinglong, who is familiar with military books, is not inferior to Zhu Gaoxu, who has experienced many battles in this small-scale battle. , All the cards in the hole were played but he was deflated everywhere.

"Unbelievable."

Even Fang Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but sighed: "It's really unexpected that Cixi Guard can fight like this, but judging by the number of people, the King of Han still has the upper hand. I am afraid that if we fight for a while, the King of Han will still win, but Li Jinglong is defeated. Jurong."

According to the current scene, the two sides are really fighting red-eyed, and no one takes a step back, but judging from the damage, the number of soldiers who fell by Zhu Gaoxu was only [-]%, while that of Li Jinglong fell by [-]%. If the fight continues, Zhu Gaoxu must win.

Regarding military affairs, other civil officials can't intervene, only military officials can express their opinions.

At this time, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said: "That's not the case. It is impossible to fight until there is only one soldier left on the battlefield. This is because this is a martial arts exercise, and this can happen. But it is not determined by the number of people. The battlefield Everything is changing rapidly, as long as there is a change, the winner can be determined immediately."

Zhu Di said: "Wei Guogong is right. If the war is more important than the number of people, then whoever has the most troops will win? How can it be so simple, Zhu Gaoxu has already lost, and within a quarter of an hour, he will be defeated. "

When the words fell, everyone else was taken aback.

"Why is this?"

They didn't understand why it was said that Zhu Gaoxu would lose. Although it seemed that there was a stalemate, it was obvious that Zhu Gaoxu had more people left.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right. The King of Han has already lost. If the fight continues like this, the King of Han will surely win. However, the soldiers of the Tie Ming Army are obviously unable to continue their physical strength. I'm afraid the collapse will happen in an instant. Li Jinglong had this idea from the very beginning, and winning in this way is really high."

"What?" Everyone on the high platform looked at it one after another. According to what Li Xiao said, they found that there were different changes in the soldiers on both sides.

They ignored the problem of physical strength. This is a decisive battle of five thousand against five thousand. There is no foreign aid, and there will be no real death, and no one will escape. If the generals on both sides do not admit defeat, they can continue to fight.

If the fight continues, it will involve physical strength. Human strength is not unlimited. If the physical strength is exhausted, there is no need to fight, and the person will collapse on the ground and be slaughtered.

The soldiers of the Tie Ming Army were sweating profusely, their lips turned white, and some of their hands began to tremble. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Cixi Guard, although not as strong as the new army, had leaner muscles, but better physical strength, and looked even better. It looks like it can last for a long time.

This does not mean that the new army is not physically strong. The new army often conducts endurance training such as long-distance running and weight-bearing long-distance running, and their physical strength is also very good.

But those farmers in Cixiwei have worked hard for more than ten years on the farm, so their endurance is stronger.

Li Xiao had to admire, maybe this was an advantage of the guards.

To be discovered by Li Jinglong, I didn't expect this at all, and I'm afraid Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect it either.

If Zhu Gaoxu had thought of this, he should have concentrated his strength to defeat one point at the beginning, and then won by relying on his physical advantage, instead of thinking about crushing directly, but being entangled by the opponent instead.

Zhu Di looked at Li Xiao appreciatively: "Li Xiao, you can see it, but your bet with the Supreme Emperor is about to lose, and you are still so leisurely?"

Li Xiao smiled helplessly: "How can there be constant victory and invincibility? Victory or defeat is the common sense of military strategists. If you lose, you admit defeat."

Li Xiao thought to himself, since it can't be changed, let's talk about it later, afraid that there will be no chance?

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "That's right, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, Li Xiao, didn't you say that our guards are not good enough? How do you feel now?"

Li Xiaodao: "The Supreme Emperor is too heroic. The system of guards built by the Supreme Emperor is very good. The guards are the strongest soldiers in Ming Dynasty. The three battalions are not as good as you."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your boy can stretch and bend, but why does it sound weird?"

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang cursed inwardly: This Zhu Gaoxu did not expect to lose, we were determined to change the military system, but you are not up to date
"Look, the front line of the Tie Ming army has collapsed!"

At this time, Xie Jin saw that the situation had changed, and shouted.

Everyone looked over.

Sure enough, as the war time elongated, as expected by the Holy Majesty and the National Teacher, the soldiers in one part of the Tie Ming Army were exhausted, and as a few soldiers fell down, a gap was opened in an instant.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Cixi Guard finally opened a gap, a few small flags rushed in with their subordinates, outflanking the left and right, and the formation was in chaos.

"The gap has been opened, and the outcome will be announced soon!"

Zhu Di got up and stood up, as he thought, this is a battle of physical strength, both sides are evenly matched, in the end it depends on who can stand at the end, and the soldiers of Cixi Guard are better than physical strength.

But soon, another change appeared on the battlefield.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was originally on the podium, actually rushed down with a weapon?

"What?" Zhu Di's expression changed: "What happened to Gao Xu?"

As the gap was opened, Zhu Gaoxu finally couldn't sit still, and directly led an army into the battlefield.

It was originally stipulated that Gao Xu should be the main general, and the two main generals would not participate in the battle. Zhu Gaoxu obviously violated the rules.

Zhu Di was about to call for a stop, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed over there and said, "Li Jinglong is also down, let's have a look again."

It was really twists and turns, and now everyone's expressions became subtle.

According to the logic, Li Jinglong didn't need to end at all, because the opponent fouled, which meant that he had already won the martial arts competition.

But once he leaves, it means that he has accepted Zhu Gaoxu's challenge, then the martial arts will continue, and he may lose
"Li Jinglong doesn't seem to want to win? It shouldn't be. The Holy Majesty promised him that as long as he wins this game, he can regain the title of Duke Cao. With such a condition, why would he end?"

Li Xiao's heart moved, and he cast his eyes on the battlefield, staring at Li Jinglong.

"Why did Li Jinglong end? He obviously won."

"Yeah, he can just wait for the order to end the martial arts performance. Is he so confident that he can beat the King of Han?"

"Hey, people can't be too arrogant and complacent. This victory is already a narrow victory. It's just an accident. After six years of hard work, Li Jinglong thought that his heart had been honed, but in the end he was still acting on his own will."

The faces of the civil and military officials on the high platform all changed. This battle was really thrilling. It was obviously a martial arts show, but both sides were fighting to the death.

And with the joining of the main generals from both sides, how will this situation change?
Wait and see!
