Kill!!

In the school field next to the lecture hall, a drill is taking place.

Those in charge of the drill were middle- and low-level non-commissioned officers from various places, while those watching from the outside were the new recruits recruited this time.

These middle and low-level non-commissioned officers who participated in the performance were themselves trained on the battlefield. Not only did they possess skilled skills, but they even had actual combat experience with real swords and guns. Every loud shout made the surrounding recruits jump.

With one pinch, his face turned pale and his heart beat wildly.

Some people say that murderous aura is fictitious, while others say that murderous aura does exist. What is more accurate is pheromones produced by hormones similar to those of the adrenal glands. Some people receive them, while others are slower.

After another kill, the venue split from an array drill into a three-person small array, which seemed to be simulating the situation in a chaotic battle. In each small three-person array, one person was responsible for attacking, one was responsible for defending, and the other

One person assisted with a long sword, and the wonderful coordination attracted bursts of applause from the new recruits.

After another round of drills, with a loud shout from the commander in the field and everyone shouting "kill" in unison, according to the order, the small formations began to merge, first approaching each other, and then automatically adjusting their pace to the formation ahead half a step behind.

and rhythm, and then just like drops of water gathered into a stream of water, the messy small array that originally spread out to nearly the entire field reunited to form the original large array.

As fast as the wind!

There was a loud shout in the array.

Wind! Strong wind!

Some crossbow bolts were suddenly thrown out from the array, whistling and shooting diagonally into the air!

Many recruits didn't even know where they took out the crossbow machine and how they fired the crossbow bolt. They opened their mouths wide and stared at the crossbow bolt as they flew into the air and then fell to the ground.

Xu Rulin!

Lin! Lin! One, two, one, left! In!

The spear pointed obliquely at the sky, the sword was hidden under the shield, and everyone was close together. According to the order, the entire array moved laterally, like a forest of iron armor, or like a screen changing position.

Invading like fire!

Kill! Kill! One, two, kill!!

The shield suddenly pushed forward two steps, then lifted it up, and came out with the flash of sword light!

Just when the light of the sword had not dissipated in the eye mask, the spear arrived immediately. The spear that grazed the shield soldiers and charged forward rushed forward like a python coming out of its hole. The bright spear head was trembling and red.

Shaking, although it is just a simulation, everyone knows how powerful this blow will be if it hits the enemy's armor!

Unmoving as a mountain!

Shield! Stand up a shield!

The spearman who was originally forward shook his spear, and then retracted, while the shield soldier who was behind moved forward, took two steps forward, and after passing the spearman, he put the shield originally on the side.

With a crash, it stood in front of us and instantly turned into a shield wall!

The spearmen's spears were also placed on the upper edge of the shield, and the entire column shrank inward, like a hedgehog spreading its thorns, which made people feel pain at the sight of it.

The hussar is victorious!

The great man is victorious!

The Han army flag and the tricolor flag on the high platform of the school ground were waved at the same time. First, the middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers who were practicing martial arts in the field shouted in unison, and then the recruits around them also shouted together. At first, the sound

There was still some noise and chaos, but gradually it formed a unified torrent, rolling across the sky, shaking the earth, and spreading out in all directions.

The hussar is victorious!

The great man is victorious!

Won Victory! Won Victory!!

\(^o^)/\(^o^)/\(^o^)/

On the other side of the Han Dynasty, there was also a change in the defense line.

The change in this line of defense is no longer martial arts, but a flesh-and-blood fight with real swords and guns.

Groups of Cao Jun's scouts kept appearing in the north of Ling County, looking like detection and provocation to Jiangdong's army in the south.

Ling County is the northern gateway to Huaiyin in Guangling. If Ling County is captured, Cao's army will flow down the river and reach Huaiyin.

After Man Chong received the support of Cao Cao, he set out with the vanguard in advance, with Xia Houjie and Yin Li as the vanguard, and arrived near Ling County through Xia Xiang. Man Chong and Yin Li had cooperated many times.

After the successful recovery of Xiangxiang, the morale of the entire army was improved. In addition, Jiangdong's soldiers' combat effectiveness was reduced due to being infected with the plague. Even though Jiangdong organized two or three times of resistance, they were unable to stop Cao's army from counterattacking.

’s military front.

The entire Jiangdong front is tight.

Although Jiangdong generals, from Xie Zan to Zhu Zhi, all attributed the reason for these confrontations to the soldiers being infected with the plague, in fact many people knew that Jiangdong soldiers had already gone through a long period of time from the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the present.

It has been more than half a year. If I could maintain a victorious state, I would still be able to maintain my fighting spirit. Now I have encountered setbacks again and again. It is like a rush of energy that has been exhausted again and again. The morale has dropped, and so has the desire to fight for a long time.

I feel so sorry that I want to go back.

In comparison, Cao Jun's counterattack had a large number of soldiers. On the other hand, Cao Jun was slightly stronger than Jiangdong Army in fighting on land. If Jiangdong Army had ships to assist, it could make up for this to some extent.

The shortcoming is that most of the ships in Jiangdong are now carrying goods back to Jiangdong and have not returned yet, so it is naturally difficult to deal with it.

Generally speaking, Cao Jun's military system is somewhat like that of later generations of bald warriors. There is a big gap between the central army and local county soldiers. The original soldiers in the Xiapi area of ​​Guangling were of varying levels, old and weak, and their combat effectiveness was indeed inconsistent.

Strong, but most of these old and weak soldiers died or fled in the initial battle with Jiangdong, and the remaining soldiers who were tempered by the battle formation were invisibly like sharpened swords, somewhat sharper.

The most important thing is that Cao Jun had a cheat sheet. After Man Chong learned that there were symptoms of the plague, he immediately took some targeted measures to control the spread of the plague.

Cao Jun's large forces pressed hard on Ling County, and Xie Zan and Zhu Ran, who had retreated repeatedly, had to send soldiers to ask Zhu Zhi and Sun Quan for help. Urgent military reports were sent to the rear almost every day, and not only

On the line of Ling County, Jiangdong's scouts also discovered that Cao Jun had even divided his forces and seemed to be preparing to go around to the rear of Huaiyin!

After Man Chong set up camp near Ling County, the first thing he did was to check the defensive measures against the plague. He first asked the logistics camp staff to confirm that there were no patients in the camp, and then checked the lime sprayed around the camp.

After seeing the insect marks, the camp was further expanded and organized. Two deep trenches were dug around the camp, and sharp wood was inserted into them. An earth wall was built behind the trenches, and iron caltrops and bamboo sticks were laid out.

, a watchtower was erected, and a trench was dug at the entrance of the camp, with wooden planks built over it for passage. After it was removed at night, there was no fear of sneak attacks.

Before defeating, consider defending first.

A strong camp can not only defend against foreign enemies, but also bring a psychological and physical sense of security to Cao's troops inside the camp, which is conducive to the repair and recovery of the soldiers.

At this time, the door of Cao Jun's camp opened and a group of about a hundred cavalry rushed out.

Most of the duties of these cavalry are harassment and detection. Of course, if they encounter Jiangdong soldiers' scouts or small teams, these Cao army cavalry are not afraid of a fight.

This kind of small-scale confrontation can keep the morale of the army high.

There is also a hidden reason. Man Chong wants these cavalry to detect a relatively safe path to advance.

After all, whether the Jiangdong Army drove away or encouraged the sick soldiers, the behavior of the death squads was really disgusting. Therefore, it was necessary to ensure that the army would not run into these diseased landmines when marching.

There is the sound of horse hooves.

Xia Houjie was the commander of these cavalry.

Although Xia Houjie's martial arts is not as powerful as Dian Wei's, he pays more attention to dexterity, especially his bow and arrow skills on horseback. He is accurate and fast, not much worse than the Hu people who are good at shooting on horseback. He is not as good as Cao Chun.

The reason why Xia Houjie and others are famous is that Xia Houjie usually follows Cao Cao and rarely leads the main battle alone, so his name is not shown.

The main weapons of Cao Jun's cavalry were still spears and sabers. They also carried bows and arrows and short-range throwing weapons. They slowly spread out and advanced along the road. They encountered some Jiangdong scouts on the way. However, before the confrontation, those Jiangdong scouts

He turned around and ran away, quickly escaping back to Lingxian City.

Xia Houjie led his troops to stop more than a mile outside the city of Ling County, and then sent several cavalry around the city. Cao's cavalry roared and shouted below the city, their morale was high, while the Jiangdong soldiers on the city were silent and dull.

Incomparably, the two sides faced off for a while. After observing the Ling County city defense and other defense equipment, Xia Houjie returned.

After returning to the camp, Xia Houjie asked Man Chong to give orders. When it came to the detection situation, Xia Houjie expressed contempt for the defense of Ling County, saying that although some Jiangdong soldiers and civilians were seen on the city, they were not seen.

There are medium and large defensive equipment such as crossbows, racket poles, falling hammers and yaksha beaters.

Xia Houjie concluded that the children of Jiangdong only knew boats and did not know how to defend the city. They probably just prepared some wood and rolling stones.

Yin Li smiled and said: "Children from Jiangdong, how do you know this? Every time you fight with us, you mostly rely on the power of boats. I am afraid that these Nanyue people from Jiangdong have never understood the art of city defense!"

Needless to say, the ballistae is familiar to many people.

For siege equipment such as ladders and carts, general attack methods are relatively weak, while ballistas and bats are much more destructive, especially the bats, which are almost fatal to carts. As long as

Being hit basically results in a capsize.

The falling hammer is a huge stone hammer-like crane that can be moved on the city wall. It can be stretched out when needed to strike areas under the city wall that are in the blind spots of bow and arrow shooting, just like smashing meat with a hammer.

Even if there was a collision, it couldn't be blocked.

The Yaksha Lei is different from the falling hammer. The falling hammer is mainly used for car collisions, while the Yaksha Lei is a hammering wood like a huge mace with many iron spikes or sharp wood nailed on it. It can then be released from the top of the city. Of course

Most of them were lowered down along the ladder that was climbed up, just like skewering meat on skewers. Once you get down, you will see a big mess of blood and flesh.

Both of these can be pulled back and reused. Of course, they are also easily damaged during the recycling process, but the lethality of these city defense equipment is more terrifying than bows, arrows, knives and guns.

Although it is a word of death whether it is killed by swords, guns, bows and arrows, or by such medium and large city defense equipment, this kind of equipment is like a deterrent. If it is not available, it will always feel

Much is lacking.

Man Chong nodded slightly. On the surface, he seemed to agree with what Yin Li and Xia Houjie said, but no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Report!
