There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 360 Six Flower Formation

Xi Sheng's heart was broken.

Among Duan Er's southern army, Xi Sheng was the first in terms of leading the formation. Xi Sheng had been taught the formation by an expert, and learned the six-flower formation and other formations.In Wang Qing's army, Xi Sheng stood out from the crowd, and most of the army in Jiangling was under the command of Xi Sheng.

When the Qilin Army attacked Jingmen Pass, some soldiers had already fled back. Xi Sheng inquired about the situation at Jingmen Pass, and learned that the Qilin Army didn't know what to use to attract thunder, and directly blasted the entire Jingmen Pass.Before he had time to report to Duan Er and Wang Qing, the Qilin army came to fight.

Now being asked by Duan Er, Xi Sheng felt distressed.

Although he, Xi Sheng, commanded and rewarded most of the army on the surface, his status in Jiangling is average. Many of them are related to Wang Qing. If he didn't know how to form troops, It is not possible to be in this position.

Repel the Qilin Army?
Repel a hairball.

Xi Sheng is not a fool. Although Wang Qing blocked the news, some things and news about Nanyang and Xiangyang still spread here. Within a day, the Dengzhou area of ​​Nanyang was completely occupied, and Xiangyang was broken by the Qilin army within half a day. There is also Jingmen Pass, Jingbei's gate is useless like this, and it was broken so quickly. As soon as the news from here reached Jiangling, the enemy came.

What does this mean?
These examples have already proved to Xi Sheng the combat effectiveness of the Qilin Army.

The Nanyang General Liu Min, Xi Sheng had contact with him and knew his abilities. As a result, Nanyang was lost. Xiangyang, Wang Qing himself is still in Xiangyang, and there is still the first warrior. As a result, he lost it in less than half a day. .

Once is luck, twice is luck, and three times is hard power.

But facing the expectant eyes of Wang Qing and Duan Er, he had no choice but to accept the matter with a scalp, and then took people down to call for the army.

"Okay, General Xi is really brave. From now on, this king will make you General Po Lin."

"Thank you king."

After Xi Sheng retreated with a wry smile, Wang Qing also found an excuse to slip away from the city.

Before slipping away, he patted his brother-in-law's shoulder earnestly, and carefully handed over the safety of Jiangling to Duan Er. He waited for Duan Er's return in victory at the county government office.

Under the city, Guan Sheng was still fighting non-stop.

No one here dares to go out of the city to fight for generals anymore, even Ni Xi has been defeated, who else dares to go out?

After a while, Xi Sheng led [-] rebels to the Qilin army from both sides of Jiangling.

Lu Junyi's cavalry unit was at the vanguard of the Qilin army, and the infantry was still behind. Now that the enemy is strong, Lu Junyi chose to retreat temporarily. With Lu Junyi's push, Xi Sheng immediately led people to control the area in front of the city gate, and A six-flower array was set up three miles outside the city.

Six-flower formation, this is a formation method invented by Li Jing, a famous general in Tang Dynasty, based on Zhuge Liang's eight formations.

The Liuhua formation has five formations: square formation, circular formation, curved formation, straight formation and sharp formation. Each of the five formations has five changes, and there are 25 changes in total. The commander arranges different formations according to different enemy situations and terrains. formation.

The Liuhua formation is a formation like "Six Flowers".The central army is in the center, the front army of the right wing, the right army of the right wing, the Marquis of Yu on the right, the Marquis of Yu on the left, the left army of the left wing, and the rear army of the left wing. The camps are connected, and different arms cooperate with each other.

Xi Sheng wears a golden helmet, a moon-swallowing armor with silver frost chains, and a brocade embroidered crimson gown, and Huang Jian wears pearl nails.Wipe the green boots and step on the stirrups obliquely, trace the gold □ with the fixed silk whip.Holding a three-foot sword in his hand, he straddles his horse to meet the enemy in front of the formation.

The Qilin army has arrived.

Li Chu has arrived.

The tank was in front, followed by the Mo army, followed by the infantry of the Qilin army and the Liangshan army, and Lu Junyi's cavalry on both sides.

Li Chu was surprised that there were still people in Jiangling who would form formations.

He even let a hot air balloon land, and himself boarded the hot air balloon to watch the formation from high above.

From a height, it looks like a flower with six petals in different directions.

Yo, people are standing so densely.

Li Chu didn't even bother to fire the tank, and directly ordered the soldiers of the Mo army to go first.

Putting up a large formation may be a very difficult target for ordinary soldiers in ancient times, but it is a pity that he is facing the Qilin Army.

And it's still a Qilin army equipped with a composite crossbow.

This composite crossbow can be regarded as a small thermal weapon to some extent.

It's just that the power is not as powerful as the gun, the reload speed is not fast enough, and the range is not as far as the gun.

Even if these are not as good as these, his stats and power are enough to kill ancient weapons in seconds.

The first is range.

Shoot farther than the enemy, so that you can shoot the enemy, but the enemy cannot attack you.

The second is power. The power of a crossbow is much fiercer than that of a bow and arrow. The closer it is, the more powerful it is.

You said you were going to rush over and fight me close?
Let's rush over first, the less the number of crossbows, the less powerful the crossbow is, and the greater the number, the more powerful the crossbow will be. Thirty thousand Mexican troops, thirty thousand compound crossbows, where they pass What is the difference with the machine gun salvo of later generations?
War has been changed by weapons.

This is a one-sided battle. The Mexican army is advancing and firing crossbow arrows at the same time. There are many bandits this time, but how many times can you resist?
What is the mental quality of your soldiers?

When the cruelty of war exceeds the strength that the soldiers can bear in their hearts, they either go crazy or die.

Xi Sheng was trembling.

What he trembled was the description of Qin in his military book.

Qin crossbow, invincible!
He originally thought it was an exaggeration. He had played with this crossbow before, and the range was not far. Secondly, the crossbow arrows did not have feathers, so it was difficult to ensure a stable beam when shooting out. If it hits the target, this force will also be dispersed by the armor.

But today.

Xi Sheng was speechless, because a crossbow arrow directly pierced his silver frost armor, and most of the crossbow arrow shot into his body.

how can that be.

What kind of crossbow is this Qilin army equipped with? Such a long distance, the strength is still so huge.

Some disadvantages of ordinary crossbows have all been repaired under compound crossbows.

Xi Sheng was almost knocked off his horse by this huge impact.

"withdraw."

He gritted his teeth and shouted this sentence, lost, lost completely.

When faced with such an unreasonable weapon, he finally understood why the Nanyang area of ​​Dengzhou fell so quickly, and why Xiangyang and Jingmenguan had no effect at all. The difference between this weapon was too great.

Too big to fight head-on.

How to fight?

You can't even touch the opponent, but the opponent shoots you down first.

How is this fight going?
Xi Sheng's eyes were better, and he immediately knocked away an incoming crossbow arrow with his sword. However, his armor was too conspicuous, and he stood out from the crowd, so he became the target of many Mexican troops. Most of the crossbow arrows were Greeting in his direction...
