Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The Tang army moved too fast!

In ancient times, there were elite soldiers, but because most of the ancient armies also had similar formations and formation training.But in fact, because there is no complete and unified queue password training, the training of elite soldiers in the ancient army is very difficult.

Taking the well-known Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example, there are several famous troops in it, such as Gao Shun’s camp. Li Ke took the formation and formation training of the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty as a reference. He felt that Gao Shun’s trap I am afraid that the camp is not comparable to the formation regulations of the modern army after complete training in later generations.

Leaving aside how to unify the techniques and tactics of cold weapon warfare such as swinging knives and stabbing spears, let's just talk about the basic formation.Because if the basic queue is engraved in the bones and becomes instinct, the various commands such as swinging a knife, attacking, and holding a shield under these unified passwords only need a little training.

This is why in ancient times, good generals were important, but generals who could train soldiers were even more scarce.

It is because there is no complete set of military training techniques, and it is also the reason why many armies in ancient times had a strong personal style of generals.

Because the soldiers are all trained by themselves, the general naturally knows how to command his soldiers to fight. If another general is not familiar with these instructions, the combat effectiveness will of course drop.

The Baima Yicong led by Gongsun Zan is called Baima Yicong, but the Baima Yicong trained by another person is not Baima Yicong.

So to a certain extent, in the era of cold weapons, the speed of the ancient army's formations and queues was much slower than that of modern times.

When it comes to Datang, the army of Datang is Fubing, which means that they cannot train for years and months like professional soldiers. They basically train for a few months, and at most they have to go back to farm in a year.until the next service.

And within this limited time, most of the training conducted by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all kinds of formations and tactics, that is to say, how to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

In terms of formation and formation, it is only necessary to be able to understand the command of the general through simple training, and to be able to act in unison. The requirements are not high.An army that can completely change its formation is considered an elite soldier.

There are formations in ancient wars, but they are not as exaggerated as described in later novels. There are only simple transformations of formations and queues, such as gossip formations.To be able to do this in ancient times is already very remarkable.

And after undergoing Li Ke's enhanced formation training, the daily life of the Datang army now integrates various training passwords into the bones. There is no time to think about whether to do it or what to do.

Because his body will automatically be engulfed by the surrounding soldiers, and then quickly form a unique iron-blooded discipline.

Under this kind of coercion, on the battlefield, even if there is a mountain of knives in front of them, it is estimated that they will hit them, and the conditioned reflex formed by most soldiers will directly hit them.

In the age of cold weapons... it's scary!

Looking at the overall situation, Li Daozong and An Xinggui immediately noticed this advantage and benefit on the tower!

When there was a change in their city, the Turkic scouts who had been observing the city on both sides of the mountains discovered the abnormality, and they also began to give early warning to the large troops.

But the Tang army in the city completed a series of operations such as gathering, lining up, running, uniformly leading the shields, lining up and holding the shields to go out of the city through the city gate and line up again. Only then did the Gaochang and Turkic troops complete the transmission of the vigilance order!

The officers at all levels who saw them from the binoculars began to quickly call out to line up and run with their soldiers.And the Turkic people were also running quickly to their horses. They really never thought that the Datang people would dare to take the initiative to attack.

When their formation was completely lined up, Datang's army had already started to advance!In the front row, 1.4 soldiers hold special giant shields that are 60 meters high and [-] centimeters wide. There are special iron support tripods behind the shields, which can assist the soldiers to support the shields while standing.

And when it is attacked by the enemy, it can assist in resisting the enemy's impact. There is even a hidden buckle on the back of it, which can connect all the shields into a whole and become a steel wall.

It is not a pure steel shield, but a layer of steel plate about 0.5 centimeters wrapped around the wood. It is not light. The whole shield weighs 60 kilograms. It is not easy for a strong soldier to carry it slowly. Disaster.

At this moment, behind this slow-moving steel city wall, there are three rows of soldiers with 500 single-handed crossbows in each row. Next to each soldier holding a single-handed crossbow stands a soldier with a hand crossbow and a small round shield. Soldiers, they assist in shooting, and if the enemy breaks into the vicinity, they use the hand crossbow in their hands to shoot at the enemy.

In the distance, Ju Wentai and Anda, who had finally assembled their team, saw this scene. A shining steel city wall made of huge shields was advancing towards them.

These shields... were obviously polished frequently, and the fronts were extremely smooth. It was afternoon at this time, and the sun slanting in the west made the other party's shields reflect sunlight, making them look extremely scary.

"This... What about His Majesty the King? Shall we retreat directly?" Anda's expression was not good.

Because the enemy's body is full-body armor, there are about [-] soldiers here who are all full-body armor, and the news brought back by the scouts on the mountain just now shows that there are obviously soldiers in the opponent's city, that is to say, this is not a big city. There are at least five thousand soldiers inside!

The point is that they saw the enemy's war horses, but there were not many of them, only about five hundred.

But at this moment, the enemy sent out all infantry, and it was okay for them to retreat if they wanted to. After all, the soldiers in Gaochang didn't have such full-body armor, so their marching speed was naturally slower than theirs.

But be careful of the five hundred cavalry of the enemy.

"General Anda, you have to lead your army to launch a wave of bows and arrows at them from a distance to test the enemy. If we retreat directly, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape at all." Ju Wentai's face was ugly, he wanted to run, but He knew very well that once he made this decision, only [-] cavalry among his [-] soldiers in Gaochang could run away!Now there are less than [-] infantry left, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers who carry supplies can't run away at all!

And without these troops, his Gaochang country would be finished.

Turkic people can run, they all have horses, but Ju Wentai can't let him run away!If the other party insisted on running away, then he couldn't be blamed for Ju Wentai dying with him.
