After the Central Army's red flag was erected, a horn sounded.

Each team and each post began to try to distance each other, but because this is a narrow valley terrain, the effect after being pulled apart is not good. The two thousand people looked like hedgehogs gathered in one place, and the space for display was not very large.

This is especially true for archers. They don’t have much room to perform, and they can even stand in one place, taking turns shooting upward or flat shots.

Then Xu Zi ordered the drum beat first.

The distance from Chen Yutai and others is about three miles, which is about one thousand five hundred steps. One drum beats every ten steps, one hundred steps, ten drums, and a thousand steps and a hundred drums.

The drum sound was monotonous and flat, but when it hit two miles away, it initially left the shrubs and gravel areas, and after passing several whistle towers and arrow towers, it also passed the wooden fence area where Yuhuo was still burning, the drum sound began to become excited.

At this time, the horn sounded again, and a long and exciting feeling similar to the tone of the swan was blowing.

More than two thousand military soldiers and soldiers shouted together, and the sound was like thunder and rolling by.

The pirates on the opposite side were also shouting, but compared to the neatness of the wing army and the military soldiers, the pirates' shouts seemed chaotic and powerless.

In contrast to the two sides, the pirates are obviously at a disadvantage in arrays, scheduling, and morale.

The pirates on the other side began to be anxious, and many big leaders led their subordinates to start shouting and scolding.

This further widened the gap between pirates and regular troops. Apart from the neat horns mobilizing soldiers to shout, the Wu Zu and the Xiang Army did not react extra.

When they approached the distance of two hundred steps, the square and circular arrays became more obvious. The team's small flags, whistle flags, and all flags were stacked layer by layer, quite dense and neat, with the same pace. All the soldiers walked in one direction, making rustling footsteps, drum beats, horns, and shouts. The team of two thousand people was like one person, and the small arrays were like layers of fish scales, overlapping and superimposing them.

There are not any miscellaneous rooms in between. More than 300 fangmen were actually placed on one wing, and most of the long weapons in their hands were replaced with barrier swords or ordinary waist swords. Then most of them were holding long bows. Most of the archers with more than 400 less than 500 people were held by fangmen.

They were on the periphery of the fish scales, and Dong Ruixiang and Li Xingwu were not satisfied with this arrangement at first. They believed that their subordinates were also old soldiers, many of them were in their prime and brave and brave. If they were the soldiers of the wing army as the van and defeated the enemy and broke the formation, it would be no problem.

But after seeing the Nan'an military soldiers climbing down from both sides and the south slope like birds and beasts, the regiment trainers selected strong players from both the tooth generals and the cavalry, easily defeating more than a hundred pirates guarding the fence area, stabilizing the periphery, and protecting the brave performance of the soldiers forming formation, the two generals of the wing army also had a little shake and doubt about the abilities of their subordinates.

After all, it seems a bit difficult for your subordinates to do what the team training striker can do?

Even when climbing to the north slope, the road was difficult and difficult, many people were torn by gravel and blood were dripping from their bodies, the wings were complaining, frustrated, and their morale was inevitably a little depressed, and they had some pessimistic views on the result of climbing the hill to fight.

At this time, the martial soldiers trained by the Nan'an regiment did not say a word, but continued to follow the military officers, without saying a word, without complaining, and without pretending to be strong.

At that time, Dong Ruixiang and Li Xingwu's beliefs were shaken even more.

The soldiers of our own seem to be far from those of the Wushu?

This kind of thought will be hard to suppress. When the formation of the formation below the hillside, the soldiers of the wing army were still looking for the officers and their own standing in a mess, the military soldiers had already completed the whole team. If they hadn't been waiting for the wing army archers, they would have probably had 1,700 military soldiers who had been able to beat the drums and move forward.

The gap in the array seems to be widening even wider.

When the fish scale formation was formed, the martial soldiers adjusted their breathing evenly and moved forward in an orderly manner with the drum beats, the gap seemed to be even more obvious.

At the last moment, the soldiers of the wing army were already impressed by the Wushu. When they heard the sound of the bronze whistle, they saw the archers of the Wushu paused and styling the longbow, the wing army also quickly did the same thing. At this time, the last bit of arrogance in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

It is also a kind of honor to be a archer in such an army.

However, what the soldiers of the wing army felt sad was that in the imperial guards, the crossbowman was a tall and strong man, and the archer's requirements were not low. In terms of dress, treatment, and standards, the archer or crossbowman was actually higher than ordinary imperial guards.

But in the Nan'an regiment training, the standard treatment of archers and crossbowmen seems to be lower than that of ordinary martial soldiers.

It is to support, disturb the enemy, and shoot against the enemy's long-range forces, so that it cannot cover the impact of the warriors with arrow rain. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Among the imperial guards, archers are the main force to defeat the enemy and the main force to defend. In the Nan'an League Training, it seems that the opposite is true.

"The red flag is two points, five steps to beat!"

The drum sound began to become quicker. After walking fifty steps, both sides were 150 steps away. At this time, the pirate's divine arm bow had already been stringed and began to prepare to fire.

Xu Zi looked at everything first, only the pirate array not far away in his eyes.

At this time, if he had a clear understanding, this would be the case with war.

For your own training, equipment, morale, command sequence and formation, everything must be prepared, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to fight.

A battle means that both sides have the desire to win or cannot lose. The war in front of them is a war that neither side can lose.

Then it depends on the location, morale, number, and equipment of both sides, as well as the training of the soldiers and the formation they set up.

Judging from the geographical environment occupied by pirates, the most basic use of terrain is still possible.

But that's it.

The pirates' wings were pulled open very wide, which caused the pressure of bows and arrows to be quite dispersed, which was not conducive to bringing more and greater damage to the raided martial soldiers as soon as possible and causing greater pressure.

Their mid-range lineup should have been far behind, and they should have wanted to use the archer to give the martial soldiers more damage and then attack and counterattack, but this approach seems guilty and makes it easier for the martial soldiers to advance more and more space.

The distances between them are thick and thin, long and short, and they look quite inconsistent.

It is not that the pirates are unwilling to set up tight arrays, nor that they are unwilling to do so, but that they do not have relevant training after all, and the pirates' wars are either raiding the people or fighting with the navy at sea.

The form of naval battle is still quite scattered at present. It is basically a chaotic battle, rushing to the corners of each other, using wind power to suppress the wind on the enemy ship, shooting enemy ships with eight-niu crossbow, hitting the corners, and jumping to the gang battle depends on courage and personal combat power. Naval battle is difficult and does not require training and tactics of array battles. This has caused the current situation where pirates are fierce but not good at formation battles.

Xu Zi nodded gently, knowing that he didn't need to hesitate, hesitate, or panic.

At this moment, he was sure to pick the fruits of victory in this battle.

"Three points of the red flag, three steps and one drum!"

When you are tall, you will follow the orders and wave the big flag in your hand and strive to move forward.

From the perspective of Xu Zixian and Gao Shi, if you are not tall, you may only see an iron helmet or hat.

It is not a joke to be condescending on the battlefield. If conditions permit, Xu Zixian should sit in the command car raised up high or sit on the high and high posts, so that he can truly clarify the command battlefield without traveling.

But at this time, we can only make a decision based on occasional glances, and then based on experience, feelings, and judgment on the battlefield.

Qin Dongyang is on the left wing of the team, Liu Yi holds two swords on the right wing, Zhang Huchen, Lin Cunxin, Li Fuxiang and others are the stamina of the forward behind the front in front of the middle wing.

More military officers followed behind. This time the fish scale formation was the biggest difference between the imperial guards or the wing army. It was that each military officer was at the forefront of the array, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer, before the military officer.

Under the flag, those who were walking were high-ranking military officers, and then middle and lower-level military officers wearing strong and sharp legs.

The Nan'an League Training Group has more than 130 pairs of iron armor, and now they are all wearing it above military officers.

The raiders at the forefront of the two wings wanted to attract arrow rain. In addition to iron armor, there were still many people wandering with leather shields.

After entering a hundred steps, the long-awaited rain of arrows finally fell.

The pirates could not hold back, and a small number of divine arm bows fired first, and the sound of slapping was endless. The divine arm bow opened, and the next one was the ordinary longbow that was ready to be fired long ago. When the divine arm bow sounded first, a large number of pirates also loosened their fingers and cast the heavy arrow of the longbow.

The distance of a hundred steps is the right distance for the divine arm bow. The theoretical shooting distance is 240 steps, and the actual lethality is at a hundred steps.

Those who are not wearing iron armor can easily shoot through the human body within a hundred steps and seriously injure them.

Those wearing iron armor should also be careful to be careful in vital areas. If the throat, abdomen and other vital parts are shot through by crossbow arrows, it is still very likely to be fatal.

Aside from a hundred steps, even the iron-tied bow that needs to be fired with a finger is difficult to be fatal. Unless it is a bad luck, a soldier wearing iron armor will be shot by the step bow at a distance of hundreds of steps, and it is unlikely that even a minor injury will be injured.

The two wings of the rovers continued to move forward in the rain of arrows, and a large number of arrows fell, mostly inserted diagonally on the ground, forming one shrub after another from it.

Some arrows also landed on the iron armor and shields of these raiders, making dull sounds of tinkling or tickling.

"The red flag tilts forward and beats the drum!"

Xu Zixian tried to stand high as much as possible and found that the two wings of the wanderers continued to move forward under the attack of arrow rain. Qin Dongyang on the left and Liu Yi on the right, the figures of the two generals were obviously walking in the front. Since there was no drum beat, even though the distance was quite close, everyone was still walking quickly at the frequency of three steps and one drum.

The time has come, there is no need to hesitate.

The violent, resolute, and quick drum sounded suddenly.

According to military rules, after hearing the rapid drumbeat, the whole army began to shout and charge.

The raiders, the two-wing forwards, the central army, and the left and right rear formations. In fact, the fish scale formation is a whole team, not too far apart. Amid the fierce drum beats, more than two thousand people shouted. Although the line was sprinting at full speed, the line was only slightly tilted, and it remained basically complete.

By this time, the level of the group training and the pirates was quite obvious. The pirates did not move in their original place, but there were archers and crossbowmen shooting arrows on the front. However, due to the lack of training and dispatch, they almost fought on their own. The arrows were in a hurry and in a dirt, and the front was already quite messy. There were many pirates gathered together, and many were very open, making the front line quite chaotic.

Faced with the upcoming impact, the pirates were also making horrifying shouts, but their shouts were not uniform, which seemed a bit inconsistent. From the momentum, at least in the field, group training was far better than pirates who lacked organization.

Xu Zixian's expression changed from nervous, excited, and a slight fear to calmness, and even a little leisurely.
Chapter completed!
