Chapter 106 Wei Wuxiong Soldiers (Part 2)(1/2)
PS: I'm going to study in Zhengzhou for a few days, and the update may not be stable, please forgive me.
****
Soon, it was approaching noon.
Under the leadership of Baning, 20,000 Wei Wushou returned a hundred miles and drove into the schoolyard in a mighty manner.
I saw that this world-famous strong army, although after a long journey and everyone was sweating profusely, was still full of morale and full of energy, and the team was not in chaos at all.
Pang Juan did not give Wei Wushu a chance to rest, and immediately ordered the Wei Wushu, Cangtou Army and the actual military confrontation began.
Wei Jun also had a set of procedures for the exercises.
Tactical arrangements, etc., everything follows actual combat, only weapons are replaced by people who do not have a pioneering edge.
So, 20,000 Wei Wuzhang and 30,000 Cangtou set up a formation on the school ground.
Under Baning's command, Wei Wuzhang formed four square formations in the center, the left wing, the right wing, and the rear, each with five thousand people, which was very balanced.
Under the leadership of Wei Han, the Cangtou Army also formed the fourth formation in a tit-for-tat way.
However, the Cangtou Army had only five thousand people on the left and right wings, and the rear, while the central one had 15,000 people.
Obviously, Wei Han was the idea of breaking through the central government.
Although Baning is famous for his bravery, he is also very skilled in using military forces. You can tell at a glance what Wei Han is trying to do.
Do you want to play Central Breakthrough, right?
Very good, I took the trick, held the center, and then went around with my two wings to see who defeated whom first.
"Boom..."
As the war drums rumbled, two "participating" armies began to approach quickly, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Soon, both sides approached nearly two hundred steps.
"Stop!" Baning suddenly ordered: "Transfer: three formations on the left, middle, and right, all change the crossbows and shoot the enemy."
Immediately, 20,000 Wei Wushang took out his powerful crossbows and sat down to the ground.
The powerful crossbow equipped by Wei Wuzun is a crossbow, which means that you must use your feet and hands to cooperate before you can turn the string.
Otherwise, this arch power of the Jue Zhang crossbow, which can reach three stones, is probably not a few people who can pull it away with their hands alone, except for Pang Juan and Li Yu.
However, such a strong crossbow power has brought powerful power and a range of up to 200 steps!
"Shoot!" After a moment, the crossbow was ready, and with a command, the bowstring collapsed like thunder, and 20,000 arrows jumped into the air like locusts, covering the sky and the sun.
Wei Han was shocked and scolded Banning for being cunning.
The Cangtou Army cannot compare with the strength of Wei Wuzhu. Everyone of Wei Wuzhu is a crossbowman, a sword and a shield, and a comprehensive horror.
As for the Cangtou Army, these characters are separated, otherwise, one person can't bear the burden, let alone every Wei Wushu will have to undergo years of rigorous training.
In the Cangtou army, there were only nine thousand crossbowmen.
And the nine thousand people were equipped with crossbows, and the other six thousand were equipped with ordinary horn bows.
What's even more depressing is:
The Cangtou Army was equipped with only one and a half stone light crossbow, which could be opened with both arms, but the range was only 120 steps.
The bow equipped by the Cangtou Army was only tensile of one stone, and the range was 80 steps long.
Therefore, although there are many soldiers in Cangtou, in terms of long-range firepower, both density, power, and range, they are at an absolute disadvantage compared to Wei Wuzhang.
Therefore, when Wei Han saw that Baning was competing for long-range firepower, he was a little stunned.
"defense!"
The depressed Wei Han had no time to roar, and the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun was about to fall.
Now, the Cangtou Army was in a tragedy.
Those sword and shield soldiers were better, and finally they had shields to protect themselves, while most of the crossbow soldiers, spear soldiers, and halberd soldiers could only helplessly.
"Snatch, take..."
"Oh, I'm hit by an arrow."
"Damn, I was shot too."
"These martial soldiers are really despicable and will bully people with their powerful crossbows."
...
In an instant, two or three thousand Cangtou soldiers were caught in arrows, and the formation was in chaos.
Of course, these arrows have no arrows.
However, according to the rules of the exercise, the arrowheads must immediately withdraw from the battle because they have been killed.
Seeing this, Baning looked proud.
For soldiers, winning is the bottom line. If you have an advantage, don’t use it. Do you still have to use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy’s strengths?
Isn't that a fool?
"Send the order, shoot another round." Baning decided to strike while the iron was hot.
Immediately, Wei Wuzhang, who had shot for a round, sat down one after another and began to force the powerful crossbow to sturdy.
Seeing this, Wei Han couldn't help but scold Banning for being despicable. This was a despicable bullying of him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Telephone: Charge me, we can't stand here stupidly and get shot!"
"Boom..." In an instant, the war drums were like thunder, and the Cangtou Army also plucked up the courage and shouted and launched a charge of the entire army.
As long as the two armies are connected, the Wei Wuzhang's advantage of strong long-range firepower will not be able to be used, while the Cangtou soldiers' advantages of numerous troops can be maximized.
Seeing the Cangtou army rushing towards him, Banning naturally knew what Wei Han was thinking.
However, no matter how fast the Cangtou Army rushed, the distance of nearly two hundred steps was enough for Wei Wuzhang to shoot another round.
"emission!"
At the sound of the bowstrings, another round of 20,000 arrows rushed into the air and landed fiercely among the Cangtou Army.
"Ah, I'm hit by an arrow."
"So too. Damn, we're all dead."
"Killing tens of millions of martial soldiers."
...
Amid a depressed scream, two more, three thousand Cangtou Army were ruthlessly eliminated.
OK, the Wei Wuzun was not injured, but the Cangtou Army had already paid about 5,000 casualties.
The Cangtou Army had only 30,000 people, and nearly 20% of the casualties were injured or killed.
In ancient times, due to the limitations of the times, the morale and combat of soldiers were generally limited, and about 20% of the casualties were enough to cause the general army to collapse.
Therefore, most of the casualties of ancient troops often occurred not on the front battlefield, but were in a runaway.
In ancient times, if there was an army with more than 20% casualties and still able to fight to the death without retreating, it would be considered a strong army.
If more than 50% of the casualties are still able to fight bloody battles without escaping, then only the invincible lions like the Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army can do it.
Even during the reign of Qin Shihuang, the invincible Qin army that reached its peak and swept across the six countries would probably not reach this level.
And the Cangtou Army is a strong army.
They can still stand up to nearly 20% of the casualties. Of course, this is also related to the fact that it is just an exercise, not a practical battle. If it suffered such a large casualties in actual combat, even if the Cangtou Army can hold on, its morale will probably drop sharply.
"Roar, rush forward, they don't have time to shoot arrows." Wei Han commanded the entire army, trying his best to maintain formation and quickly approach.
Seeing this, Baning did not show any weakness and quickly ordered: "Give up the crossbow, hold the shield and raise the spear, guard the center, and detour the two wings, and defeat them for me."
"kill--"
Immediately, ten thousand Wei Wushangs on both wings roared out, like two huge iron clamps clamping towards the two wings of Cangtou Army.
Seeing this, Wei Han brows jumped.
His formation is thick in the center and thin in the two wings. Baning is taking advantage of his weakness and is ready to fight to the death.
However, the two armies are about to join forces, and it is impossible to change the formation.
Okay, let's fight, see if I will defeat your center first, or you will defeat my wings first.
Wei Han made up his mind and ordered sternly: "The two wings are the main guard, the central government attacks, and they are beaten."
"kill--"
In an instant, the Cangtou Army and the Wei Wu soldiers fought with two wings, and the central government faced the central government, killing them into a mess.
In a blink of an eye, the characteristics of the two armies' formation were revealed.
On the battlefield of the two wings, Wei Wushou had 10,000 soldiers. Against the eight thousand Cangtou Army who were weakened by a powerful crossbow, not only had a slight advantage in the battle, but also had an absolute advantage in combat. In the first day of the first battle, Wei Wushou had advanced rapidly, and killed Cangtou Army, which was defeated step by step, and was as dangerous as a burden.
In the central battlefield, Wei Wu soldiers fought against about 12,000 Cangtou Army after being weakened by a powerful crossbow.
The Cangtou Army launched a fierce attack with its absolute advantage in military strength.
