In the infantry formation deployed by Qin Liangyu, the first five rows were soldiers with long guns, holding white poles to resist the charge of the rebel horsemen. 3≠八3≠八3≠Read 3≠书,.↗.o●After that there are two rows of archers, which can be used to kill and delay the advancement of the rebel army.
Only by taking into account both long-range shooting and close combat can we achieve both offensive and defensive capabilities. Otherwise, when encountering enemy cavalry fire, the Baigan Army fighting on the plains will inevitably be at a disadvantage, and may even suffer heavy losses, resulting in heavy casualties.
Among the soldiers in the Baigan Army, 60% are spearmen, which are truly the main force. Archers and sword and shield soldiers each account for 15%, and the remaining 10% are horse pawns and a small number of gunmen.
The number of troops organized in this way is the result of Qin Liangyu's years of practical experience. If the rebel army cannot break through his own outer gun formation, the white pole army will inevitably be undefeated.
Even if the opponent has a large number of muskets, due to its own troops, as long as the strength of the two sides is not much different, and the entire army obeys the command and obeys orders and prohibitions, the Baigan Army can still severely inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
If they did not overlook it from a high altitude and charge on the ground, the rebel soldiers would definitely not be able to see the archers hiding behind the spearmen in the opposite infantry formation. The sudden rain of arrows would catch everyone off guard.
Although due to the obstruction of the long gunmen in the front row, the archers used the art of curved shooting rather than the more accurate direct shooting. However, in order to prevent the new soldiers in the infantry formation from being feared by the rebels, Qin Liangyu deployed a large number of experienced soldiers in the front row. of veterans.
Their ability to preview and estimate the target's moving speed is quite strong, and their timing of firing the bow is extremely accurate, so that the group of thieves rushing in front of them are just within shooting range.
There are no less than a thousand archers in each formation, with excellent initial physical strength and extremely high shooting speed. Especially in the two formations that were hit by the bandits, the killing effect of the arrow rain was extraordinary.
Before the rebel infantry could rush to the opponent's formation, no less than four to five hundred people fell into the constant rain of arrows, accounting for almost 10% of the total infantry force deployed in the battle.
This was also caused by the "Eight Kings" underestimating the enemy. After entering Sichuan, the rebel army fought against the Sichuan army. The battle was almost one-sided. The offensive was overwhelming. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was devastating.
Starting from Guanyinyan, they conquered Dachang, Kaixian, Xinning, and Dazhou. In just a few days, they won five battles in a row and severely damaged tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. The casualties on the rebel side were minimal.
More than 100,000 taels of gold and silver, no less than 50,000 shi of grain and grass, and over a thousand horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock were seized, which greatly supplemented the supplies needed by the rebels and gave them a new understanding of Bashu.
After five battles, both Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders had a more intuitive impression of the local Sichuan army. To describe it in four words, it was "vulnerable"!
Actual combat has shown that in the face of the Sichuan soldiers who are disorganized, lazy, and timid, one of the rebel infantry can defeat five, and the rebel cavalry can defeat one of ten. The rebels could capture a territory without losing more than a hundred or so men in each battle.
Facing the 40,000 to 50,000 Sichuan troops on the east bank of the Jialing River, the leaders certainly believed that they could defeat the enemy in one battle. They also did not believe that it was the men of Hong and Sun who were blocking their way south.
Since it is the Sichuan Army, even if there are 50,000 people, the rebels are invincible. It is one thing to form an array on the spot, but it is another thing to be able to withstand the mercury-dropping offensive of the rebels.
The "Eight Kings" felt that the 6,000 main troops they sent were enough to overwhelm the 30,000 Sichuan troops facing them. As long as they were not led by the "female thief", what could you do to me even if you had the upper hand?
Although he saw that the opponent had killed and wounded hundreds of his own soldiers with arrows, Zhang Xianzhong believed that such an exchange was still a good deal for his own side because he was able to get close to the enemy at hand-to-hand distance at the expense of only 10% of his infantry. 【∞八【∞八【∞Read【∞书，.︾.o＠
"The Gochuan soldiers are close at hand! Brothers, please give me a blow!"
The main force of Zhang Jun is the Shaanxi border army. If it is organized, its combat power is not much inferior to that of the Baigan Army. However, from the "eight kings" to the small minions, no one thought of the enemy they faced. true colors.
The idea that one's own side "must win in close combat" always lingers in the minds of Zhang Jun's soldiers, making the offensive operations extremely blind and underestimating the enemy. Even to the point where they can clearly see the opponent's facial features, Zhang Jun's soldiers are still confident that this battle can be a big success. Full of confidence to win.
"The qiangqiang is leveled! Wait for the thieves!"
Since the use of long guns requires a lot of energy, in order to save the soldiers' physical strength, the long gun soldiers at the front of the Baigan Army's infantry formation poked their long guns vertically into the ground when not in combat. Changing to the horizontal mode meant that they were about to engage in close combat. .
The four infantry formations commanded by Qin Liangyu are all circular formations. Once the long gun soldiers on the outer layer level their weapons outwards, the circular formations will look like four giant sea urchins, making it difficult for even a large group of enemy cavalry to approach and take advantage.
"Dry!"
"I still want to stop you guys!"
"Go ahead and dream!"
"Follow me and kill the Sichuan soldiers!"
Seeing the Sichuan army in front of them, instead of turning around and running away, they raised their long guns and seemed to be resisting. This move made the soldiers who came to charge into the battle even more furious.
In their eyes, the Sichuan Army's infantry formations were useless. These short fools could not defend the city, let alone fight in the field. They would either become cowards and run away, or they would just stick out their necks and be hacked.
Since the rebels entered Sichuan, they have been victorious in every battle and are invincible. Now that they encounter you guys who are overestimating their own capabilities, they will definitely kill one of them to serve as a warning to others. We will see if the Sichuan army dares to make enemies of the Israeli army in the future.
Each Zhang Jun infantry seemed to have no fear of the weapons in the opponent's hands. They howled like wild beasts and rushed towards the long guns. As long as they pushed aside the long guns and entered the infantry formation, they could kill all directions.
But this is just a beautiful idea, nothing more. Even the old slaves outside Guan Guan have experienced the power of the long guns of the Baigan Army. The arrogant Hou Jin Xiaoqi was stabbed and turned upside down. He was in an extremely embarrassed state. It is definitely not an ordinary gun soldier. comparable.
"puff……"
An infantryman of Zhang Jun, holding a sword and a shield in his hand, wanted to get closer and chop at the Sichuan soldiers who were less than two feet away. Just as he pushed aside a gun tip, he suddenly found that he could not move.
He lowered his head and saw that there was another long gun that penetrated the leather armor and sank into his abdomen. Soon, gurgling blood flowed out along the gun pole.
"Well……"
His movements froze at this moment, his mouth was like a dehydrated fish, he choked several times, and was unable to utter a complete word. His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
How could it become like this? Didn’t it turn out that the Sichuan soldiers were already in full force and would flee when they saw the rebels? He just couldn't understand why he was able to assassinate himself without fear.
"receive!"
There was no need to waste time on this matter. He didn't have much time left in his life. With a command, the other party pulled the gun tip out of his body, leaving a bloody hole bigger than a tiger's mouth. hole.
He suddenly felt heat radiating from his body, and his body began to become cold. He couldn't exert any strength, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, waiting to watch the incredible scene happening in front of him.
Not only was he alone, there were no less than a hundred people who fell to the ground at the same time. They were all stabbed in vital positions by long guns and were unable to continue fighting or even stand. There were even hundreds of Sergeant Zhang's soldiers who were injured.
Before the confrontation, no one believed that the Sichuan army in front of them would remain calm in the face of danger and that they could be rock solid in the face of the stormy charge of the rebels, but the reality was so terrifying.
The infantrymen of the White Guard Army all looked solemn and concentrated, but their legs stood firm and their arms did not tremble. Instead, they continued to exert force on the weapons in their hands. Unless it was iron armor, even leather armor could not withstand the full force of the long gun. prick.
"ah……"
Sergeant Zhang's soldiers paid an extremely heavy price for their underestimation of the enemy's advance and disdain. In just one round, they lost nearly a thousand people, including the soldiers who had been knocked to the ground by arrows.
Although they were outnumbering the enemy and using two 2,000-step formations to defeat the opponent's two 5,000-step formations, the "Eight Kings" had previously believed that given the actual combat power of both sides, their troops still had the upper hand.
After the hand-to-hand combat actually started, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly discovered that the actual situation was not what he had imagined, and was almost completely different.
The Sichuan army in front of them has remained unmoved in the face of its own onslaught. It is very stable and shows no signs of collapse. It does not seem to be an ordinary army.
The two infantry formations commanded by Zhang Hualong and Wang Dingguo fought hard, but in front of the opponent's impeccable round formation, they had no chance of winning and could only form a siege, nothing more.
By the time the "Eight Kings" realized that something was not quite right, their troops had lost nearly a thousand people on the front line, with more than 20% of their infantry casualties. If not for the fact that they were all fighting veterans of the frontier army, our offensive would have been launched earlier. It collapsed.
The two thousand-man infantry brigades commanded by Feng Shuangli and Wang Ziyu were unable to gain any advantage in the Sichuan army's formation. Faced with a forest of swords and guns, they could only harass them by firing around the formation.
The two generals who led the team understood that the troops under their command were the property of the "Eight Kings" and they were determined not to lead their troops into the battle unless they had to, otherwise they would suffer heavy casualties and it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
The white-pole army was not even afraid of close combat, and they were even less worried when faced with the enemy's cavalry. They adhered to the combat philosophy of shooting men first and shooting horses, and shot the enemy's horsemen one after another until they were on their backs.
"Mother, can my child go out to fight?"
Ma Xianglin could no longer hold back his excitement. If Zhang Xianzhong could be defeated here, then even if the thief did not die, he would never dare to invade central Sichuan again for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry! Although the rebel army's offensive has weakened, we must be prepared for the fact that they still have back-ups!"
Qin Liangyu kept looking around in the formation. The four formations on his side were all in good order to defend against the rebels. There was no sign of needing support yet, so he could continue to consume the rebel forces in place.
If our own few horses are to let all the cavalry brigade go into battle, it must be done at a critical moment. The critical turning point of the battle has not yet been reached, so we need to continue to defend in place to stop the rebel army.
This kind of on-situ fighting is what the Baigan Army is good at. The only way to win at the moment is to adopt tactics that maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. The bandit army misunderstood its own flag and fell into the trap, which can make it fall into a trap.
Under the order of Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, the white pole army changed its flag, the soldiers also put on the standard armor worn by the officers and soldiers, and the most conspicuous long white pole gun was covered with vegetation.
Looking through the telescope, it is impossible to tell that this is the former white-pole army with simple equipment. In appearance, it is no different from the main force of the normal army.
Because of this, the Xian thief on the opposite side fell into the trap and came to attack. He was asking for trouble.
A few years ago, the Baigan Army was able to defeat the Xian rebels in eastern Sichuan.
Several years later, the Baigan Army was still able to defeat the Xian thieves.
"It's Bai..."
"White pole!"
"not good!"
"……ah?"
"It's the White Pole Army!"
"this……"
"The wind is so tight!"
"Run!"
After losing more than a thousand men, Zhang Jun's soldiers found that they were still unable to defeat the two Sichuan Army's circular formations head-on. The two sides were in a stalemate, but their own troop shortages were getting smaller and smaller, making it somewhat unsustainable.
Under the influence of frequent assassinations, unstable vegetation fell from the gun. Finally, Sergeant Zhang saw more and more white guns exposed on the opposite side.
There are soldiers who participated in the war back then, and now they have become small bosses. They still remember the past clearly, especially the opponent's white pole gun, which is no child's play and can be recognized at a glance.
How powerful the Baigan Army is. Everyone knows that encountering the Baigan Army is like hitting the south wall. No wonder the enemy in front of them refuses to retreat. It turns out to be the Baigan Army.
Looking at the number of opponents, there are no less than 20,000 to 30,000 people!
How to fight with so many white soldiers?
How could our own side win?
Even Zhang Hualong and Wang Dingguo, who were commanding the battle on the front line, were a little frightened when they heard this.
If this is the case, thousands of soldiers will be lost in a fierce battle between our troops and the Baigan Army.
If there is an army and horse pawn group ambushing nearby, all the infantry under the "eight kings" may have to break in during the battle.
How the Baigan Army set up defenses here should have been told by the traitor "Yi-Long" to the female thief Qin Liangyu, but now there is no time to settle the score with "Yi-Long".
Neither Zhang Hualong nor Wang Dingguo considered themselves to be rivals of the "Qin female thief". Even the "Eight Great Kings" were almost killed at the hands of this female thief, so they were even more incomparable.
Especially at the moment, the "Qin Female Thief" still has an absolute military advantage. If the "Eight Kings" and other leaders do not come to support them, they will not be able to break the formation with just the few people around them.
Four thousand against twenty thousand, both sides were infantry, and the other side's combat power was not inferior to theirs. Zhang Hualong and Wang Dingguo suddenly fell into panic and anxiety.
Both of them understood that as long as the white-pole army continued to stick to the formation, it would be impossible for their side to successfully charge into the formation. And if you want to retreat completely, it is impossible to succeed, because as long as you retreat a little, the white pole army will open their bows and fire arrows.
For these two groups, they are currently riding a tiger, and they are really riding on the back of a "tigress"...
But before they could issue an order, Sergeant Zhang, who had seen through the opponent's tactics, knew that he could not defeat the world-famous Baigan Army, so he automatically began a large-scale rout.
This is the disadvantage of using veterans. Veterans are well-informed people who know what enemies can be fought and what enemies should be avoided. If they are replaced by new soldiers, there will be no such trouble.
Especially the general-level sub-leaders, who are almost all veterans. Many people are afraid that what happened back then will happen again. The sub-leaders cannot hold back and retreat on their own, so Zhang Jun will stop fighting and become in chaos.
It's just that Zhang Jun's retreat quickly turned into a large-scale rout under the arrows of the Baigan Army. It was similar to what happened during the previous attack. In the end, only a thousand people survived by chance. 11... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
