From Chief to Ball

When training in the mountains, they can bombard fans sixty steps ahead, which is extremely lethal to dense charging formations.

If the Xirong people also entered the gunpowder age, they might take precautions, or they might not be able to advance the wooden cannons to a distance of sixty steps, or they might send someone to destroy these slow-moving wooden cannons from the side first.

If the Xirong people entered the era of professional soldiers, they might be able to endure instant casualties, ignore the roar and blood, and break through in one fell swoop while taking advantage of the roar of artillery.

But they don't know anything, and because of their ignorance, they have no fear.

The new army trained by Chen Jianjian knew the horror of this weapon. They saw with their own eyes that the gravel smashed the grass man into pieces, like a mess in the field after harvesting.

They can't aim, they can't shoot from a long distance, and they don't have a triangle to determine the elevation angle. All they have to do is align the wooden guns, light the gunpowder at the Xirong army formation, and then replace the wooden guns. These are enough.

The artillerymen used cattle, horses and people to push the gun mounts with huge shields forward slowly, and the grenadiers on both sides were holding the heavy big Tao Lei tightly, forgetting the pain and numbness of their arms during throwing training, looking forward to His own Tao Lei can be thrown into the place where the Xirong people are most dense.

Chen Jian beat the battle drum to let the front advance slowly and evenly. The captains of each team rode at the front of the team, restraining everyone's footsteps.

The Xirong people also noticed Chen Jian's strange arrangement, and soon the Xirong people's army formation changed, and the main force that was originally concentrated on the west side near the swamp moved towards the middle.

The formation is not static. The leader of the Xirong people sensed the weakness of Chen Jian's side. Perhaps he guessed that Chen Jian's side was preparing to stabilize the center line and outflank the two wings.There are many people in Xirong, and they can deal with it calmly. There are only a thousand people left on both sides, and the remaining 2000 people are all concentrated in the center line, which is about to break through Chen Jian's weakest point from the center line.

Chen Jian's central army has less than 400 people, and the Echeng army on the left has 800 people, which can completely withstand the thousands of Xirong people on the opposite side; the Xiacheng soldiers on the right wing also have [-] soldiers, even if they can't break through from the right wing, they can hold the flank Security is more than adequate.

After the Xirong people adjusted their formation, they were also slowly moving forward. There were still two reserve teams of thousands of people left on the right wing, as if they were waiting for Chen Jian to make the final change in formation.

When the two sides were less than two miles away, the Xirong people knew that it was too late to make any changes at this time, so the two sides on the right also moved to the center, preparing for a breakthrough in the center.

When the drums stopped again to indicate that the soldiers were in line, Eyue sent riders to Chen Jian's side and said, "Ji Xia, the leader of Eyue said that the Xirong people put soldiers from five directions in the center. The number of people is a bit small, we can send a hundred people to the center."

E Yue was indeed very worried. He didn't face many enemies, but the battlefield was not E City's own. Once Chen Jian's central army was broken through by the Xirong people, and his right wing was surrounded, the soldiers would have no intention of fighting any more. A rout.

He guessed that Chen Jian's intention was to prepare the Xirong people to concentrate their forces in the center, and even guessed that the chariots and cavalry would be strengthened to his side. The right wing of the Xirong people only had a thousand people.

But with only 400 people, can he really survive until he breaks through the right wing of the Xirong people?There are also five soldiers from Xirong in the center. He felt that Chen Jian was a little too confident and worried about the victory or defeat this time, so he sent a messenger to inquire.

However, the messenger came back soon and told E Yue, "Chief Ji Xia said that we only need to guard his right wing, but we need to separate a hundred people to approach the center. Once the center breaks through, our people will follow."

Afraid that the envoy didn't hear clearly, E Yue hurriedly asked: "Are you sure he said he was just holding on, and he was going to break through from the center?"

"Yes, that's what it said."

E Yue shook his head, completely confused about how Chen Jian was going to fight. Looking at the formation of the Xirong people, he knew that even if he wanted to change it, it would be impossible at this moment. He calmed down and sent out a hundred people to approach the right wing.

In order to be careful, he was sure that he was strong enough to stop the soldiers from both sides of the Xirong people, so he asked his tribe to bring 150 more people to the left, and told them to rush up to help Chen Jian if Chen Jian couldn't stand it... At the very least, the main force on their side must be dragged out of the battlefield.

In the middle of the battle line, Chen Jian visually measured the distance between the two sides. At this time, they were only [-] steps apart, which was still beyond the range of the bow and arrow.

The sound of the horns of the Xirong people also temporarily stopped, and they were also regrouping, and there was an eerie silence on the battlefield.

Without the obstacles of hills and mountains, both sides can see the opponent's arrangement clearly, and even guess the opponent's possible tactics.

The people of Xirong also thought similarly to E Yue, thinking that Chen Jian was preparing for a right-wing breakthrough. Even though they guessed it, the people of Xirong still thought Chen Jian was stupid.They feel that these people don't know how to fight, and even if they plan to use the flank to break through, they should arrange the least number of people on the left flank instead of the center, forming a diagonal line rather than a thick formation on both sides and thin in the middle.

The Xirong people also didn't understand the gun mounts with shields in Chen Jian's new army. They guessed that they might be shields to prevent bows and arrows from shooting, so that infantry could approach?

All kinds of speculations were difficult to confirm, and the Xirong people began to slowly advance towards Chen Jian according to the established method.

Among the soldiers from the nine sides, there was one side in the first row, facing Chen Jian's position.

Thirty steps away, there are soldiers from three sides, leaning as far as possible in the center, probably to prevent Chen Jian from supporting the two wings when the center breaks through.

A hundred steps away from the first row, there is the five-party army of the Xirong people, which widens the front, which is almost the same as the front of the coalition army in Echeng, Xiacheng.

The entire formation resembled a triangle, and the sharpest corners gathered soldiers from five directions, ready to attack Chen Jian's central army with all their strength.

Some Xirong archers who only wore a layer of simple animal skins broke away from the army, and ran to the front of the team in light attire, preparing to cause chaos by scattering at will.

There are about 200 Xirong archers, in groups of three or two, scattered across the front of the battlefield.

"Langpi, take your riders and drive back the archers in front of E City. The archers of the new army stepped forward five steps, ready to shoot back."

The messenger quickly passed the order, and the wolf belt led fifty riders who had been training for some days, ignoring the cruising archers in front of Chen Jian, and launched an impact on the left side.

The light cavalry holding their spears backwards had no problem dealing with these sparse archers. Relying on the rapid maneuver and impact of the cavalry, the archers in front of the Echeng army were quickly defeated and hurriedly withdrew to the Xirong army formation.

The riders made a circle, quickly rushed from the slope to the front of the Xirong formation, threw their javelins and turned back quickly.

The archers in the Xirong army shot back, four riders were shot, and the rest left quickly, but the Xirong army still slowed down after the harassment.

The leader of the Xirong people was even more convinced that Chen Jian was preparing to break through from the right flank. It was obvious that these riders wanted to harass and slow down the speed of his left flank, so that they would distance themselves from the army formation that was advancing from the center.

"Let the sons on the front side continue to move forward, and the people behind keep a distance to keep up. Let them attack the center of the enemy first. If the two sides go to support, the sons on the two sides will charge. If the enemy does not move on the two sides, Then our two wings will continue to be slow, and the middle will go all out."

After the leader's order was issued, the soldiers at the front of the Xirong people gradually increased their speed, and they were [-] paces away from the troops of the second row and three sides. The non-stop impact of the tide.

The leader of Xirong carefully watched the movements on Chen Jian's side, hoping that the breakthrough oppression of his clan's center would make Chen Jian panic and mobilize the troops on both wings for support.

If soldiers are mobilized when a war is imminent, it is easy to cause chaos.

However, after watching for a long time, I found that Chen Jian had no intention of moving left and right at all.

Chen Jian visually measured the distance of the Xirong people on the opposite side, beat the drum, and all the archers on the entire front lined up to shoot in order to slow down the progress of the Xirong people.

The archers of the Xirong people also began to shoot. Feathered arrows were flying all over the sky at such a long distance, but it was more of a visual shock, and not many people were hit by the arrows.

The artillerymen pushed the pine guns behind the archers, and the trained recruits hurriedly set aside the braziers to make sure that the iron hooks inside were red hot.The three behind carried pine logs, ready to be replaced at any time.

Chen Jian has tested that the most effective killing distance of these pine guns is fifty or sixty paces, forming a fan of about thirty degrees.

There are a total of five pine gun mounts, with a [-]-degree fan and a range of [-] steps. A salvo can cover a wide area of ​​about [-] steps. There is a gap of [-] steps between each pine gun. Those who were promised Shock troops, who fight bravely to gain land and national identity, will charge through these gaps.

The armies on both sides of the central army kept sending people to ask if they needed support, but they were all rejected by Chen Jian. The bow and arrow had reached the maximum range, and it was too late to make adjustments at this time.

E Yue and others could only restrain their own soldiers, not to move around, and only let the archers shoot back to ensure suppression.

After the archers of the two sides shot at each other from a long distance for three rounds, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to a hundred steps, and the archers of the three-party army on the second front of the Xirong people could already shoot.

The archers of the new army listened to the sound of the drums, and fired a final round, then quickly retreated back into the army formation, and fired from behind, revealing the black holed pine cannons.

The shock troops formed by the slave peasants were assigned by Chen Jian to the gap between the wooden cannons. The sackcloth balls that had already been sent out plugged their ears. Before plugging their ears, they told them that they would charge desperately when they saw Wufeng swinging down. You need to listen to any order. If you kill one enemy, you can become a wild citizen, if you kill eleven, you can become a countryman, and if you can be covered with human heads, you can become a corps leader, distributing land and spoils of war slaves.

These people blocked their ears with sackcloth in puzzlement, clenched their daggers tightly, reminiscing about the past year's life that was worse than death, and gritted their teeth, thinking: "If you continue to be a slave, what is the difference between living and dying? Why don't you fight?" Bundle!"

……

The Xirong people looked at those weird wooden cannons a little strangely. They thought that the archers on Chen Jian's side would continue to shoot at close range. They could feel that these archers were trained in the previous shooting, at least better than their own. The archers must shoot far and accurately. I thought that the threat of these archers would be greater after getting closer, but I didn't expect them to retreat.

Although it was strange, the situation on the battlefield was fleeting. The leader of Xirong decisively let people blow the horn. The soldiers in the front began to charge towards Chen Jian's central army, and the front line also accelerated their pace.

E Yue on the right looked worried at the Xirong people rushing towards Chen Jian's army.The enemy I am facing is still more than two hundred steps away from my front line, and there is no battle yet.
