If it is in actual combat, such a confrontation may last for a long time, but the exercise will naturally skip this section and enter the battle directly.

The deputy general of the Blue Army is A Shu, this person... Although there is a difference between the fierce and fearless Jurchen culprits in the ordinary Song people's impression, he is somewhat capable of rushing to Meng'an Guxin and becoming one of the personal guards. Not to mention anything else, at least he is very skilled in the Jin army's combat process, and his level in this aspect is even higher than Fang Hong. If the troops participating in the exercise were not the third cavalry battalion of Fang Hong, it would be more suitable to be commanded by Fang Hong, the main general of the Blue Army would definitely be A Shu.

Now, A Shu exchanged views with Fang Hong, and then Fang Hong waved the order flag and issued the first order. As a wave of unique horn sounds of the Jin army, the blue team began to attack.

This is also completely in line with the normal state of the battlefield. No matter what kind of opponents they fight against, the Jin army will always take the first attack. The cavalry is originally the attacking army.

The first thing the Blue Army dispatched was a cavalry of fifty cavalry, which was organized by the Jin army, that is, a pony chariot.

The former Song army, who had experience in fighting with the main force of the Jin army, was preparing to general Guan Zhongyong, and it was obvious at a glance that this was the most typical wolf tactic among the standard Jin army tactics.

What is the wolf tactic? It means that the Jin army dispatched the most basic combat units, namely a chariot and fifty people, mainly cavalry. The twenty people in the front were fully equipped with heavy armor, holding swords and guns, and the thirty people in the back were wearing light armor, with bows and arrows. When the enemy encountered the enemy, two or three people jumped out of the horse and observed the enemy's formation, and the team formed a formation and advanced. When the distance from the enemy reached the range of the cavalry bow, the bows and arrows were fired at the same time, and shot the enemy. If they could win, they would rectify the formation and pursue them. If they were defeated, they would gather together without dispersing. Everyone fought consciously, split and merged into and out, responded to the gods, so they would win every battle.

The Jin army's tactics had no name. But when Fang Hong, A Shu and others were practicing, they were seen by Di Lie and the words "wolf tactics" blurted out. All the generals agreed deeply - indeed, it was too much like the tactic of wolf attacking prey, so they named it.

Wolf tactics. In fact, it is a simplified version of the two-wing crutch horse tactic. When the enemy's troops are not strong enough, using such tactics can make it easy to observe the enemy situation and find flaws. If you find the weakness of the enemy in front of you, or if the enemy shows fear, these combat-reading whistle-knight cavalry will pounce on it fiercely and tear the enemy apart in pieces like a wolves with a hole in the sheep pen.

If the enemy's troops are strong, then there will be more than one chariot, but ten or twenty. They will attack the enemy from the two wings. This expanded attack is the tactic of the two wings.

Whether it is the wolf tactics or the two-wing crutch horse tactics, they are very familiar with the Song army, which had fought the Jin army that had twice invaded the south for about a year... But, if you know, how to deal with it is another matter.

In the face of this simple, practical, light and erratic tactic, no kind of military tactic is useful. The only thing that can be counted on is strength and equal strength. However, the Song army, which lacks cavalry and lacks long-range suppression power, even if they have the sturtle shell, they are only beaten to death and have no choice but to take the other party. Instead, they are slightly worn out from fighting spirit, morale, physical and morale, and finally dragged down...

If the soldiers commanded by Guan Zhongyong were the Song army, even if they were the most elite Western Army, if the crossbow equipment could not keep up, they would not be able to withstand this wolf tactic - this is almost certain. Although the crossbow bow is strong, it is difficult to practice, and even the imperial guards in the capital are not fully equipped, you can imagine how many will be assigned to the Western Army.

However, this time, Guan Zhongyong commanded the Tianzhu Army, the first vanguard of the era who had strong medium-range firepower and had undergone rigorous training in later generations. Therefore, he confidently slashed the flag and sent out a team of troops.

We won’t bully you either. Fifty infantry vs. Fifty cavalry, let’s see who can stand to the end.

On the Blue Team, Fang Hong said in surprise: "What does this guy Lao Guan want to do? He only uses one team of infantry to fight against the same number of cavalry? Although our cavalry cannot be compared with the elite Jin army, it is definitely not inferior to those Ali Xi... Is this guy too careless or too confident?"

"It's self-confidence." A Shu said on the side, "Although there is only one team of infantry, the current team is different from the past. The proportion of musketeers has reached 40%. Among the fifty infantry, there are twenty musketeers. If we have no chance of victory, we should withdraw the cavalry and let all the infantry be pushed up. Then, the light cavalry and other infantry rushed into the enemy's formation, launch a charge and break the enemy's formation... In this way, we have a few chances of victory..."

A Shu participated in the Yinmatan Battle throughout the whole process, and the new weapons and tactics of the Tianzhu Army gave him great shock. At least he saw that the various tactics and tactics that the Jin army was proud of and that were invincible for a hundred battles had no advantage in front of the Tianzhu Army. However, for such an all-round army that can attack from afar, fight near, chase after victory, and retreat, no tactics are easy to use, and he can only show his strength to see the truth.

With a sensation, the advantage of cavalry rushing and attacking is to use the advantage of being a fierce attack. It is better to be defeated by the opponent's long-range weapons to polish the troops... Yes, against the Heavenly Zhu Army, Feng Shui will turn around. It is not the Jin army's abuse of people, but the Tianzhu Army's counter-torture.

It should be said that although A Shu's tactic seems a bit helpless, it is also the only feasible strategy. However... Fang Hong and his third cavalry battalion soldiers are among the eleven battalions of the Tianzhu Army, who know the least about the power and tactics of the muskets. Since most of them are veterans with certain combat experience, Di Lie consciously gave more training opportunities to the new recruits. Therefore, Fang Hong and the Third Cavalry Battalion have never participated in the Battle of Naiheguan, nor have they participated in the Yinmatan Battle, and few non-commissioned officers have even participated in the special training of the teaching battalion - it's not that they don't want to participate, but the main training targets of the teaching battalion are infantry battalion non-commissioned officers. Moreover, the training tasks of the cavalry battalion are very tight and they can hardly take time. Who makes the Tianzhu Army have too few riding talents?

It was because of the lack of sufficient understanding of muskets, and in full view of the public, he recruited the soldiers back as soon as he sent them out, which wouldn't it be ridiculous. So Fang Hong still did not adopt A Shu's opinion and insisted on giving it a try. If it was on the real battlefield, Fang Hong would not do such an inconsistency, but the exercise... this face is still needed.

Fifty cavalry, the standard Jin army of Yishui is half heavy armor and half light cavalry. Of course, this heavy armor is just worn inside and covers a chain mail. It is not the kind of "iron floating map", but it is quite good in defending arrows - of course, it depends on what kind of arrows it is. If it is a chisel arrow shot from the Divine Arm Bow...

Fifty Infantry, new version of equipment, five rows of arrays. The first two rows are heavy armored swords and axe soldiers, the third and fourth rows are musketeers, and the fifth row is a combination of six gunners and four grenades. Such a team of troops is also the basic combat unit of the Tianzhu Army.

A strong collision will inevitably spark.

On the viewing platform to the east, the leaders of the three major Taihang villages were exchanging opinions with each other. Meng De and Liu Ze tended to win the cavalry. Both of them had seen the power of cavalry rushing in and outside Luancheng that day, and the miserable battle was unforgettable. Therefore, they were more optimistic about the Blue Army. However, Wang Zhongzhi believed that since the Red Army dared to send the same number of troops to fight, there must be a way to win a surprise. From this point of view, the Red Army had a greater chance of winning.

The two opposite opinions of the leaders of the three villages were actually exactly what the leaders of the big and small villages in Taihang Village were thinking. So, a handicap was quietly opened on the viewing platform. From time to time, people could be seen shuttled and collecting gambling money.

Since the Blue Army has 300 light and heavy cavalry on one side, plus two hundred soldiers and armored infantry, this is a powerful combat power that is not even a regular army of the Song army. Not to mention these mountain bandits who don’t even have a few horses. Hundreds of horses are all fat and strong! This visual impact is too great for the leaders of Taihang villages. Almost most people subconsciously buy the Blue Army to win. At the opening, the odds of the Red and Blue Army reached as much as 1 to 8.

The gambling was lively on the viewing platform, and the battle was about to break out on the battlefield of the university.

When the fifty cavalry of the Blue Army rushed to a hundred steps from the front of the Red Army, they suddenly accelerated and rushed to eighty steps in the blink of an eye. Then the heavy cavalry carried shields to cover each other. Light cavalry, or bows, took their bows and arrows, and hid behind the heavy cavalry. The sharpness of the arrow appeared faintly.

Di Lie on the rostrum couldn't help laughing: "These two guys actually know how to use this trick."

Zhang Li, who was sitting aside, also smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this a replica of the infantry formation of my Tianzhu Army? I actually borrowed it. The idea is good, but unfortunately... I can learn the method, but the equipment..."

Yes, this is the tactics drawn up by A Shu to deal with musketeers. This is actually a replica of the Tianzhu Army's musketeers hiding behind the heavy infantry flesh shield to shoot cold guns. But the premise is that the protection of the heavy infantry flesh shield of the Tianzhu Army's heavy infantry is not ordinary. Whether it is a large oar, an infantry side card, or an infantry armor weighing 60 kilograms, it is not something ordinary riding bows and arrows can do. The armor-breaking heavy arrows are not affordable by any Jin army.

Therefore, the heavy infantry of the Tianzhu Army is a qualified meat shield. But the heavy cavalry of the Jin army is another matter.

Seventy steps, the arrows had not yet been shot, but the gunshots had already sounded.

The flames spewed out and the smoke filled the gunpowder, but they could not hide the white dots that kept popping up on the bodies of the Blue Army's heavy cavalry. The referees on both sides of the school field tried their best to slash the small red flag in their hands, shouting loudly: "A eleven, exit! B 24, B 79, exit! Ding 16, Ding 20... Ding 55, exit!"

That's right, each soldier who appeared in the Red and Blue Army had a number on the front and back of the chest and back, and used the heavenly stems and earthly branches to record numbers. The Red Army used the twelve heavenly stems, and the Blue Army used sixty earthly branches. During the battle, all those who were judged to be "dead" would leave the field. The numbers that the snatchers now counted were basically the earthly branches. It can be imagined that the Blue Army suffered a great loss.

As soon as the gunshot sounded, the heroes of Taihang were stunned - what is this? Firecrackers? Can this be used on the battlefield? The steel tube can actually drive the firecrackers so far? This thing is good, there are not enough bows and arrows, so it is good to use this steel tube instead...

But Meng De and Liu Ze's opponents' thoughts were shook their heads repeatedly: Firecrackers? It's okay to throw this thing on the battlefield to scare the horses, but it's ridiculous to talk about hurting people, and they are knights in heavy armor. This so-called military exercise is too ridiculous...

The Wang brothers looked at each other with confusion on their faces, and they all felt that the steel tube was probably not that simple, but they could not guess what the mystery was.

The team commanding this squad was Zhang Rui - yes, because of his outstanding record, he was promoted from Shi Chang to the squad, and rushed into the officer class. Zhang Rui was one of the few officers in the Tianzhu Army. His fighting style was fierce and flexible. In the Battle of Yinmatan, there were four battles of muskets to block enemy cavalry, and Zhang Rui participated in three of them. Therefore, he was quite experienced in muskets to defeat cavalry.

Zhang Rui divided the twenty musketeers of the team into three columns, plus himself, each column of seven. This way, three rows of continuous shooting can be formed. As an old bird who is more smooth to play with muskets, he knew very well that there must be continuous continuous shooting to effectively block the enemy cavalry. The heavy cavalry cover tactics used by the Blues were indeed a bit beyond Zhang Rui's expectations, but he was not panicked. He still fought according to the established fighting style.

Although the way of adapting to the battlefield is to be confronted, you cannot let your opponent lead by the nose. If you change others, you will be passive. As long as you hold on to a purpose and bring out your strengths, that's fine. As the saying goes, you have thousands of means, and I have certain rules.

There were constant gunfire on the field of the colonel, and the heavy cavalry of the Blue Army were constantly being washed away, but the arrows of the Light Cavalry were slow to be shot out - this is not surprising. These Light Cavalry were fake "Jin soldiers" after all. They did not have real Jurchens, and even the Khitans' Jingjue riding and shooting skills, and they used mostly five-dou cavalry bows, and they had to rush within fifty steps before they could exert their power.

Can they rush for fifty steps? Normally, it is not possible, but it is a different matter if there is heavy riding cover.

The light cavalry finally rushed into fifty steps. The price paid was that more than 20 heavy cavalrymen were almost completely lost.

The light cavalry's arrows were finally shot out, and the accuracy was quite good, basically covering Zhang Rui's squad. However, the effect disappointed Fang Hong and A Shu. First of all, the heavy infantry in the first two rows were completely fine - the damage setting of the heavy infantry was to be effective in shooting the gap between the armor of the infantry armor. What is the difference between the gap between the armor of fifty steps and the high-difficulty shooting skills of shooting incense at night? How many people have such superb shooting skills? Therefore, can they "shoot" heavy infantry? It depends on their character rather than skills.

The musketeers were "injured" a few, but the "injured" parts were mostly on the lower limbs, and the body, head and face were more protected by iron helmets, so they were basically fine. They were not "injured" to the vital points, and according to the exercise regulations, they could still stay on the field. The last row of grenadiers were unscathed under the strict cover of the heavy armored gun player.

Fang Hong was shocked and angry, and lost nearly thirty cavalry in vain, and got such a result? Is this musket really so powerful? Not good! The heavy cavalry is destroyed, the light cavalry loses cover, and stays on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will become the target of musketeers...

Fang Hong immediately issued an order: "Ming Jin retreated."

Fang Ziming Jin here, and A Shu, who was watching the war in detail in front of the formation, rushed towards him and shouted from a distance: "Don't withdraw your troops!"

Fang Hong said in surprise: "If you do not retreat, will the remaining twenty light cavalrymen be dangerous?"

A Shu said anxiously: "They are all within the best range of the musket, and even if they run back, they will not be able to escape death. It is better to rush into the enemy formation from the flanks. Even if the losses are heavy, they will give the Red Army certain killing and injury, and they can even escape in the chaos. But once they run back regardless of the situation, it will be bad..."

Although Fang Hong is not a good general, he is still an old army. He immediately woke up and asked to issue an order again... but it was too late...

As A Shu expected, it was so good that he rushed to the distance between the musketeers and forty steps. If he wanted to turn around and leave, how could he do that? The cavalry wanted to run away from the maximum range of the musketeers in eighty steps, and the death distance of these forty steps was really insurmountable.

The gunshot passed tightly, and the sound of the culprits was hoarse, but more than 20 light cavalry finally ran back. When they came to Fang Hong with a shame, they apologized.

Fang Hong was so shameless that he said angrily: "What else can you ask for a dead person? Grandpa won't deal with dead people! Get out of the exercise team for grandpa, grandpa is going to launch a general attack!"

The soldiers around looked at them and laughed. The more than 20 light cavalrymen who "escaped" back looked at me and I looked at you and I looked at you. Only then did they realize that they were all white on their backs. It turned out that they should have been "dead" long ago.

In the first round, the infantry and cavalry showdown, was the infantry a complete victory?

The heroes of Taihang were stunned. Such a powerful light and heavy cavalry were defeated by the fire-breathing and making a blast, like firecrackers? Or were they all destroyed? I really can't understand! With such a puzzling ending, the person who lost the bet was certainly dissatisfied, and the person who won the bet was embarrassed to ask for money.

Before they could find the military personnel in Tianshu City to find out what was going on, the decisive battle began.

Fang Hong had realized that he could only use the tactics that A Shu said. If he wanted to play the wolf tactics of the Jin army in the past and deal with the brand new Tianzhu army, he would be looking for the wrong partner.

"The whole army is pressing! Crush them with powerful cavalry!"

Fang Hong's face turned pale, there was no way to go. If he wins miserably, he would win miserably. As long as he was not punished to wash his military boots - he***! At most, it would be embarrassing to be punished. He is a commander, if he does this, would he still have to mess up?

From commanders to ordinary soldiers, the Blue Army burst into strong fighting spirit under the terrible pressure of having to wash their military boots when defeated. Two hundred infantrymen were in front, one hundred cavalry was behind, and one hundred fifty light cavalry extended from both wings, like a crab with iron clamps spreading, biting them hard.

Guan Zhongyong, commander-in-chief of the Red Army exercise, smiled and said, "They want to fight us hard, consume, and casualties. What do you think we should do?"

He Yuanqing looked back at the team of grenadiers and smiled: "If it were before, there would have been a certain amount of casualties, but now it is different." He Yuanqing, Yang Zaixing, Zhang Rong and others used thunderbolt bombs in large quantities from the Yishui raid on the Great Wall, and they were very clear about the power of this thing. Although they are now using exercise bombs, the body of the bullet is made of clay, the charge amount is less than one-fifth, and lime, carbon, etc., the effect is still obvious when it explodes.

"Brother Yuanqing and I have thought of it together." Gao Liang also laughed and glanced at the gray boots on Guan Zhongyong's feet. "I really want to see how Fang Datou looks like washing his boots. Do you think he would choose which of the three of us to wash the boots?"

He Yuanqing said, "I don't need to wash my boots with Fang Datou, but I want the Jurchen to wash them..."

On the field of the colonel, the Red Army was ready for battle, while the Blue Army was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a rope flew in the ninth row of the Red Army formation. Forty or fifty black and round objects drew a half arc and flew towards the Blue Army infantry that were rushing closer and closer...

On the viewing platform, Di Lie smiled: "Fang Datou and our intelligence team leader are going to wash their boots..."
