There are a thousand generals, and there are a thousand generals in their style of leading troops.

A famous general in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, was a civil official, but he joined the prime minister and went out to fight. He used military forces and had strict military laws, but he also had clear rewards and punishments, so the soldiers used their lives.

Shi Wansui is different. He will be the vanguard in every battle. He leads troops without even following military discipline, but what he brings out is a mad soldier who is as strong as him and is not afraid of death. No matter how many enemies they face, they can be without fear.

There were so many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, including Li Jing, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, Qin Shubao, Cheng, Shan Xiong, Luo Shi, Duan Zhixuan, etc., and of course, there is also the alien Li Chao.

But no matter what style the generals commanded the troops, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are difficult to fight and often win battles.

The east bank of the Ru River.

Yuchi Gong, a door god who had long been well-known in the Tang Dynasty, was wearing the imperially-given black iron armor and holding a horse spear. Behind him was a cavalry ready to go.

This battle is extremely dangerous.

But he also persuaded him. Now the two armies are in war. At this time, he no longer discusses whether he can fight or not. Now, in his eyes, there are only those Goguryeo people, and in his heart, there is only the fighting spirit.

Do your best and finish this battle first.

Yuchi Gongben asked to fight the vanguard, so he led the cavalry and the Goguryeo to fight head-on. Although there were only three thousand people, he was never afraid.

But Li Chao refused.

"This is not a time to show off your courage and ruthlessness. You are now the commander of the cavalry, and you are part of this entire military formation."

As the most powerful general in the entire army, he led the most powerful three thousand cavalry in the entire army, but now he is on the wings and behind the entire army.

Three thousand cavalry were divided into three parts, and each part was divided into several teams.

He couldn't fight even if he wanted to fight, so he could only act as the wings and side rear protection of the infantrymen as Li Chao's instructions.

In February, the wind is still howling by the Ru River, and the cold spring is cold, making the wind like a knife.

The Goguryeo's charge was interrupted by Li Chao's gadgets, and its momentum was declining again and again, but it could not stop the Goguryeo's final attack.

"Teacher, can I know what the name of this military formation is?" Wang Xuance asked Li Chao as he looked at the Martin Knight who was rushing closer and closer.

Li Chao pondered.

This square array was originally taken from the Spanish square array, but in this era, the concept of Spain has not yet been there.

There is no Spanish formation in this world.

This is the first time this square matrix has appeared in this world.

"Just call it Ping Liao's great formation!" Li Chao said.

This square formation was used for the first time in a war with the Goguryeo people, and Li Chao named it after it. In the future, he will definitely make greater contributions to the conquest of Liao.

"shield!"

On the front line of the battlefield, one square formation after another, Tang soldiers clearly felt the deterrence of the enemy. The frozen soil that had not yet melted under their feet was shaking, becoming more and more intense.

The entire military formation was at the forefront, with eight 200 people.

Arranged in formations one by one by one.

Each square formation of 200 people has maintained a certain distance. There are also small teams of jumping soldiers between each formation.

The cavalry of Goguryeo was like a huge wave, while Li Chao's military formation seemed to be like a dam full of gaps.

Li Chao did not have such a long array of continuous formations, and they were all squeezed together.

Such a military formation is actually very low in practical performance.

It's not guarding the city.

In field battles, when there is no camp, you must never set up such a formation. Because such a formation has only one contact surface with the enemy, and only a few rows of soldiers in front can fight with the enemy.

The soldiers behind actually cannot play a role. On the other hand, the soldiers are squeezed together, and after being punched out of the gap, they cannot effectively remedy the changes.

on the contrary.

The large array, large array, medium array, small array, and each array that Li Chao has now set up, has space left between them. They have formed a whole army array, while maintaining independent performance.

Leaving a gap between the formations seems to allow the enemy to rush in easily.

But rushing in is not scary, but rather a good thing, because the arrays are independent and related to each other, so the enemy rushes into the large array and enters the gap between these square arrays, and then they will be attacked by several square arrays at the same time.

The Tang army has a larger attack surface and can perform strikes more effectively.

On the other hand, these gaps between the square arrays will allow the enemy troops to instinctively penetrate the gaps, which is a guiding array.

The deeper you go, the more you are hit by various military formations, the longer you are.

If Li Chao's soldiers were elite enough, or the musketeers' muskets were replaced with Great Wall-style fire gate guns and Yanshan-style three-eyed guns, with a longer range, and a strong bow and hard crossbow, then this military formation would be almost invincible.

Even when facing the fierce cavalry, it would not be possible to get it in front of this hot and cold guide formation.

If you want to break this formation, you must not rush and attack. Once they rush into the square formation, they are doomed to fail. Unless they advance step by step carefully and destroy the square formations one by one, they will lose.

Zhu Zhendong was the captain of the Musket Team and was affiliated with the Shenji Camp. At this time, he led his team of fifty people and stood in the first row.

He stood in the middle of two 200 white-robed soldiers.

As the team leader, he must stand at the front of the team, behind him are the flag bearer and the flag bearer, and at the end are the team's deputy supervising battle.

When fighting, the team must lead by example and fight in the front.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty team is the easiest to be killed and injured in battle, but it is also the easiest to make contributions. Those who survive can also be promoted quickly.

If you go further, you no longer need to stand in front.

He was nervous as he held a bow in his hand.

Looking at the man who was running closer and closer, his hands holding the bow turned white due to excessive force.

As the generals shouted one by one, the shield hands in front raised their shields one after another.

There was also a shield in front of Zhu Zhendong, but he was inserted into the ground and he didn't catch him. He was holding a bow in his hand now. He was very strong, but his shooting skills were not good.

The bow in your hand is a strong bow, which is hard for ordinary people to pull.

"bow!"

Another loud shout came.

Zhu Zhendong quickly held the bow and raised it, and took an arrow.

He was very nervous, but he did not look around, but tried hard to restrain his tension and let himself stare at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

In the military law of the Tang Dynasty, the crossbowman was about to fight, and then he took the bow and arrow and looked right afterwards.

There were hundreds of military laws in the Tang Dynasty, and the more than 300 in the front were all slashed. Those who rushed out of the military formation too quickly during the battle and slashed. Those who looked left and right when they were in the battle.

Military judges may not really strictly enforce the military regulations completely, but as a veteran, Zhu Zhendong knows that it is better not to violate military laws.

In order to relieve the tension, he began to habitually calculate the distance of the enemy.

About two hundred steps.

After another hundred steps, the Tang army will shoot arrows.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

Zhu Zhendong counted the numbers silently in his heart.

When he counted one, the Goguryeo cavalry had rushed to the front, only a hundred steps apart.

The sound of the trumpet came.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Zhu Zhendong felt his blood boiling, so he pulled the bowstring suddenly and did not aim at the enemy.

The first arrow is that the enemy is still far away, and the Tang army’s standard practice is to shoot.

The bow string is pulled open like the moon in the sea, and the bow and arrow point diagonally towards the sky, which is a very familiar angle.

"put!"

Zhu Zhendong let go of the bowstring and felt the arrow roaring towards the sky with huge force.

The sound of bowstrings, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the shouts of archers.

A bow and arrow are like flying locusts.

The first arrow was shot, and Zhu Zhendong didn't have time to wait for the result, and immediately pulled the bow again.

Regardless of it, shoot three arrows in a row.

"shield!'

Another loud shout came.

Zhu Zhendong threw down the bow in his hand, lifted up the long shield and stood in front of him, and held a musket tightly in his other hand.

After doing this, he had time to see what he had just done.

The Tang army's bows and arrows shot, killing at least hundreds of enemy cavalry. He sighed in his heart, but unfortunately there were too few soldiers in the palace. There were more than two thousand people in the row in front of them, but only a few hundred old soldiers.

The eight square formations were 1,600 white-robed soldiers without bows and arrows. In the three consecutive shots just now, they just stood there watching the fun.
