{Thank you, friend, for your eternal tip} After two rounds of blows, Xiandeng began to erect planks, and in an instant, the arrow tower arrows rained down, and a puffy short arrow shot into the formation, bringing out a surge of blood, and taking advantage of the shooting gap, thousands of soldiers were killed in the village, half of them were archers, half of them spearmen, shouting and rushing forward to kill.
The main attackers, under the cover of their own archers, stepped on the planks and rushed forward with the first climb.
All of a sudden, arrows staggered in the sky, and people on both sides kept falling to the ground.
Xu Gongjun relied on the trenches behind him to shoot arrows, while Shen Chongjun's archers relied on wooden donkeys, and the arrows did not need to be aimed, but only shot forward, and the soldiers who rushed forward also started hand-to-hand combat.
Yang Yan looked more carefully, in general, the two armies have rules, and they can cooperate with each other, and they are calm and calm, not stunned, but the cooperation is more primitive machinery, and the conscious active cooperation of the Mandarin Duck Array is obviously a step behind.
"General, please leave the arrow tower quickly, Shen Chongjun's trebuchet has arrived in front of the battle."
On the arrow tower, a general reminded.
Thirty trebuchets in front were dragged to the designated position, each of which had nearly 100 strong forces pulling the tip arm, and in the sound of the trumpet, the thick tip arm was pulled lower and lower.
The main purpose of the trebuchet is to hit the arrow tower, even if the hit rate is very low, but as long as it is touched, it is the result of the destruction of the building, after all, the arrow tower is only made of bamboo, wood and grass, and the modern scaffolding is similar, not strong, Xu Niche did not dare to gamble his life, and the crowd will climb down the shelf.
Of course, the crossbowman can't go, and a condescending shot can cause a lot of damage to the enemy in front of him, as for whether he will be hit by a stone projectile, one is to see whether the trebuchet can destroy the enemy's trebuchet first, and the other is to fight for character.
Shen Chong's army had 30 trebuchets, in groups of 10, and would concentrate their firepower on the three arrow towers first.
"Put" Xu Gongjun had the advantage of waiting for work and launched first.
More than a dozen stone bullets were spilled, some of them were killed and injured indiscriminately by the soldiers who were fighting for each other, and some of them were killed by bullets and richeting around the soldiers, directly killing and ricocheting.
Two more hit a trebuchet each, and the sturdy wooden beams were broken, and the trebuchet collapsed, and the crowd below, before they had time to run away, was buried in it, and let out a terrible cry.
However, the remaining twenty-eight opened fire at the same time, and the stone bullets rose into the sky and sprinkled at the Xu Gong barracks, and the two arrow towers were shot respectively, one was broken and collapsed, and the other was hit by the canopy, and the entire roof was thrown away, and several crossbowmen spurted blood wildly and fell down.
The trebuchets of both sides were completely at any cost, and round after round of stone bullets in the air converged and sprinkled on the opponent's positions with a sharp sound of breaking the air, and the casualties were almost incalculable.
The whole battlefield, like the hell of Shura, tearing and killing the heavens, here, human life is the least valuable, the front falls, the back follows, the arrows are staggered, even if you are shot, you don't know where this arrow comes from.
"It's tragic" Xun Hu couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, although Xun Hu, Xun Bao and other personal guards are strong in personal force and have followed Yang Yan for a long time, they have always lacked the experience of bloody battles.
On the contrary, some of the cavalry came from the old soldiers of the homeless, who had been torn apart in the north for many years, and it was not uncommon to fight for their lives, and they were all strange at this time.
In fact, the engagement process of most battles is almost out of control, the key is affected by the perspective, each soldier sees a limited amount, and has to focus on tearing and killing, either the enemy dies, or I die, there is no condition to think, and although the general has a stronger view of the overall situation, it is almost impossible for the order to be accurately conveyed to the front line.
The banner was not systematically used in the wars of the Middle Ages, but the sound of the golden drum beat the drum and marched, and the gold retreated, which was simple and effective, and the most widely used.
In other words, the general's control over his subordinates was mainly based on marching and retreating, and any third order would complicate the situation, confuse the soldiers, and interrupt the rhythm of the battle.
This is similar to the commission mode in the Three Kingdoms series, the battle array is ready, the conditions are ready, click on the appointment button, what it looks like, it is automatically deduced by the program, all the player can do is continue to watch on the side, or stop the game.
In fact, Shen Chong, Qian Feng and other generals, including Xu Gong on the opposite side, watched without turning their eyes, but did not dare to make any moves to interfere with the battle process, for fear of affecting the execution of the soldiers.
Yang Yan couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
For generals, the first thing to avoid is disorder, to fight disorder in an orderly manner, there is no doubt about victory, but many times, fighting, the two armies will evolve into a disorderly melee, until one side can use less and less troops to tear up frontally, facing the enemy's number gradually increasing, physical strength and mental load is no longer enough, will wake up.
Oh, it turns out that our army has been defeated, so what else to fight, flee, as a result, the chaos is transmitted to the periphery, and the whole army has no fighting spirit, and it is crushed for thousands of miles So, how do you keep things organized?
In the modern battlefield, there is communication at any time, and it is not difficult to maintain order, but in the modern battlefield before the advent of electricity, the European armies were more disciplined, they could line up to shoot without retreating half a step, they could coordinate with infantry and artillery, and they could fight in a linear queue with extremely high requirements for discipline, which was often praised by the world, but there were profound historical reasons for this.
Because the Europeans are servile, naturally obey the nobility, whip and beat during training, beat the obedience, and send them to death without half a complaint, but this set does not work in China, the individual consciousness of the Chinese is stronger than that of the Europeans, and the oppression is too fierce, it is entirely possible to provoke mutiny or bomb the camp.
The most typical is Zhang Fei, who whipped the soldiers too hard, and as a result, his head was cut off in his sleep.
Taking the Wei and Jin dynasties, which generally have a personal dependency relationship, as an example, the premise of the dock wall dock owner to absorb the displaced people is to raise them, and if they can't support them, the tenants and the tribes will still run, and even ruthless people will rebel against the master's family, and this situation is difficult to see in Europe, even if there is occasional resistance, it does not have universality, the so-called more lacking what is called, and the slogan of human rights and freedom comes from Europe, which is not exactly what they lack Yang Yan's eyebrows twisted slightly, the road in Europe is not working, and how to effectively issue military orders in the battle array Li Shimin's Xuanjia Elite Cavalry is only 3,000, this is not that Li Shimin can't select more elite Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, and it is impossible to lack those thousands of armors, but the transmission of information is likely to form a critical point after reaching the value of 3,000, more than 3,000, the efficiency of transmission is extremely low, and it is not beneficial and harmful to the battle.
The Mandarin Duck Formation is another situation, due to the high training cost and the requirements for the quality of the soldiers, it cannot be popularized on a large scale, and only a limited elite can be trained into the Mandarin Duck Formation, even if Yang Yan has many generals in the future, it is impossible to promote it in the whole army, and most of the foot soldiers are still just ordinary soldiers.
This reminded Yang Yan of the flag soldier system.
The flag soldiers have something in common with the eight banners, but they are not completely equivalent, the eight banners have a personal dependence relationship, the flag is equivalent to the slave of the flag owner, and the flag soldier system is only based on the flag generals, according to different flag colors, the size of the flag and the height of the flag surface convey different meanings, through the usual training, the meaning is fixed, the formation of tradition, a staring at a level, never overstepping, the soldier recognizes the flag does not recognize the general, will be in the flag, the flag will die, the flag is out, is the general.
This kind of system is not simply to order the whole army with a banner, first of all, it is necessary to formulate a suitable banner, once the banner is fixed, it can not be easily changed, in essence it is equivalent to a multiple-choice question, presetting n possibilities in advance, and when the conditions are met, the applicable part is selected and played in combination with the banner.
Its benefits are obvious, as long as the training is proper, the efficiency of the army's information transmission will be greatly improved, and it is possible to realize the rotation of various armies in the battlefield, after all, a soldier in armor wields a weapon to tear and kill has a physical limit, if it can be replaced in time, with its own cutting-edge soldiers against the enemy's weak soldiers, the odds of victory should be greatly increased, and there is no need for every soldier to recognize the flag, as long as there is a special person to recognize the flag.
However, the flag soldier system easily leads to the rigidity of the combat system and restricts the creativity of the soldiers, but this is how many years later, I am afraid that at that time, artillery will already be available, and it is another tactic.
"General Yang, there is an enemy rushing down the hillside" At this time, the cavalry of Cai Baojun's cavalry was Li En's hand to Yang Yan.
Because Yang Yan's cavalry had an absolute advantage, Cai Bao and Hou Li trusted Yang Yan, so they temporarily handed over their few cavalry to Yang Yan's command.
"Good" Yang Yan waved his hand fiercely: "The decisive battle of the rush is the strength of the cavalry, and there is no need to fight for merit in the battle formation, the purpose of this trip is only to outflank the enemy on the top of the mountain from both wings, and the generals will fight for merit in a hurry."
"No" The generals rode their horses one after another, and each led his subordinates to gallop to the foot of the mountain
