Chapter 1359 Great Battle(2/2)
Hear the trumpet of the Tieler people blow.
Su Dingfang smiled.
The Tieler finally couldn't help but come to die.
"Transfer the order, change the formation, and use the flat Hu formation!"
The Pinghu Formation was created by Su Dingfang's teacher Zhang Chao, which used steps to cavalry. Its characteristic is that it used steps to cavalry, which is actually a hollow formation.
The biggest feature of the Pinghu Formation is that it is a small hollow formation that eventually forms a super large military formation.
A small array of one or two hundred people is next to each other, but there is also a gap between the passages.
The hollow formation consists of shields and spears, and inside are crossbowmen, grenadiers and musketeers.
At this time, the cavalry retreated to the wings and rear to protect the artillery and heavy crossbows.
When enemy cavalry charge, the war horses instinctively do not rush up the spear, they will dig into those gaps with the will.
However, this formation has 360 degrees of firepower without dead ends. The war horses avoid it, but they can only be beaten passively.
One small hollow array after another forms cross firepower.
And let the defenders not only bear the blow on one side, but let the enemy go deeper, which makes the enemy cavalry bear a larger blow. In addition, the hollow formation can also protect the injured cavalry.
This array is actually a variant of the Spanish large square array, which transforms the dense square arrays of the large square array into a circle hollow array.
"The Goguryeo people lost a lot under my teacher's formation. At that time, the teacher was leading only a new army. Now, I am leading the Sixth Army of Emperor Guards, well-equipped, well-trained, and sufficient quantity."
"When the Hu cavalry rushed in, it would be surrounded by us. If we don't come in, we would be consumed outside. As for wanting to swimmers, I also have artillery and heavy crossbows protected by cavalry on both wings, which can make them even more ecstatic."
