Chapter 170: It is difficult to break the formation beyond the third level
Off the court, without Li Mengxi's guidance, the country warriors' sparring became increasingly cost-effective.
Because, the village heroes gradually got angry.
For fear of hurting someone, no one holds a weapon, but they are becoming more and more merciless when clashing with shields.
Hearing the crackling sound of the shields colliding at high speed and the muffled sound of the collision of limbs, and just watching the shields coming and going, with their shadows flying around, Li Mengxi felt his body aching.
The local warriors regard the shield as a weapon. The shield can be slapped as much as you want. It can hurt people, but it will not kill them.
The only one that Li Mengxi was familiar with was a very brave dog, always at the head of the conical formation.
No, Gouzi is going to lead the team into battle again.
After bumping the shield in my hand for more than a dozen times, the surface of the shield has cracked. This is just a small problem. The big problem is that the handle on the back of the shield is loose. I am afraid that the handle will fall off if I bump it again.
The dog was sucking with his mouth open. His chin was hit by the person opposite with a shield, and his mouth was filled with blood.
Others advised the dog to forget it and go down to rest, but the dog refused.
After a while, the blood in the mouth stopped flowing. The dog's lower lip was so swollen that he couldn't close it, and it hurt when he closed it.
He held the shield and shook it twice. The unstable handle collided with the back of the shield and made a rattling sound.
This shield is not reliable.
Gouzi turned around and looked at the new face behind him.
Every time I rush into formation, someone always bumps into me.
Some people can't stand the pain and just go down, while others who want to join in the fun will fill in.
No matter how many times people left and others stayed, Gouzi and a few of his friends stayed until the end, but they just couldn't leave.
People who think about their future can endure hardship more than those who just muddle along.
"Brother, shall we exchange shields?" Gouzi slurped his mouth and discussed with the people in the row behind him about exchanging shields with him.
The man wouldn't change with him.
Gouzi was helpless, looking for someone to switch shields with him.
"Dog, let's switch."
Lao Tie, a coachman with a swollen forehead, came over, handed his shield to Gouzi, and took Gouzi's shield away.
A certain person is always closer than an outsider.
With the shield in hand, the dog will be more confident.
After charging into the formation for more than ten rounds, Gouzi's physical strength was exhausted, and the shield in his hand felt extremely heavy.
Gouzi gasped, "Brothers! Hold the shield tight!" Gouzi shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Roar!"
Behind him were sparse and feeble roars.
"Charge!" Gouzi gave the order and rushed out first.
Based on the experience of charging into the formation ten times, after being hit by several shields, and at the cost of minor injuries, Gouzi gained some experience, that is, he should not rush into the formation too fast.
If you run too fast, throw away the ones behind you and rush forward, losing touch with the formation, it will be useless even if you rush up. If you rush up alone, the four or five shields on the opposite side will definitely hit you with a roar.
When the extremely brave Gouzi charged into the battle for the fifth time, he learned a lesson not to rush too fast.
Then, because he had to control his speed, he couldn't help but want to slow down his pace, but it backfired and slowed down his charge.
As mentioned before, the phalanx is closely arranged, and the people in the first line are supported by the strength of the people behind, so it is difficult to be knocked away. The force of the charging party is therefore at a disadvantage.
But the charging side also has its own advantages. The advantage is that the charging person can increase the impact by running.
Gouzi wanted to deliberately slow down his speed, but failed to control it well. Instead, his impact power was reduced, resulting in the effect of charging into the formation not being as good as the previous times.
Combat skills are skills learned through fighting, and no one knows what to do in battle better than these brave warriors who fight in the field.
When the front charged forward for the sixth time, Gouzi began to subconsciously increase his speed. At the same time, he learned to take into account the distance of the people behind him so as not to lose touch.
In the tenth charge, which was the one that just ended, Gouzi was able to do two things at once. While staring at the direction of the attack, his ears listened to the sound of footsteps to determine whether the people following him had followed. As a leader of the charge,
People cannot look back. As soon as they look back, their running rhythm will immediately be disrupted.
The eleventh charge.
After rushing to the front of the phalanx, there was still a step away. The Xiangyong in the phalanx grinned and pushed his shield forward.
The dog suddenly jumped forward and hit the person opposite with his whole body weight.
Snapped!
The sound of shields flapping exploded, and Gouzi successfully knocked the shield soldiers in the first row of the phalanx to the point of losing their balance.
The dog was very brave, but that was the end of it.
Suddenly there was a whistling sound beside his ears, and from the corner of his eye he saw a black shadow coming from top to bottom towards his head. Before Gouzi could shrink his neck, there was a snap, and a shield swatted at Gouzi like a fly.
face.
The edge of the shield can smash people to death, and the horns of the shield can also smash people to death. However, without using all your strength to deliberately control the force, just hitting people with the side of the shield will not kill anyone.
The shield was slapped on the face, and the protruding bridge of the nose was the first to bear the brunt. The dog immediately felt a pain in the nose, then a sharp pain, and then a stream of heat rushed out of the nasal cavity.
Gouzi was stunned by this shield blow, and his brain suddenly stopped.
The confused dog was kicked to the ground by a foot stretched out from the phalanx in the next second. He was thrown to the ground and was in a state of extreme embarrassment.
Li Mengxi on the outside looked at it and shook his head.
No, the physical energy of the local warriors was too much, their strength was insufficient, their movements were much slower, and the lethality of the charge was sharply reduced.
The eleventh time the formation was charged, the cone formation failed again.
The cone array hit the phalanx and smashed itself into pieces. The phalanx did not even move.
Starting from the sixth failed attack on the formation, the following several times, the cone formation was completely defeated.
Li Mengxi, who carefully observed everything, realized that fighting was very physically demanding, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was declining at a rate that was beyond Li Mengxi's expectation.
Li Mengxi thought of boxing matches in modern society. Those professional boxers who have the best nutrition, the most scientific training, and the strongest physiques and train themselves into fighting machines. A professional boxing match lasts only three minutes.
, the three rounds only lasted nine minutes.
In my previous life, I watched those boxing leagues. Even if they were world-class boxers, both sides would attack very quickly in the first round, with heavy punches and extremely flexible footwork. However, many boxers would not be able to get to the third round, and many boxers would lose their physical strength.
, he didn’t even have much strength to punch, so he could only defend with his fists.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no less than later generations, in the cold weapon era when supplies were scarce, most of the rural warriors recruited were children of farmers, and all of them looked skinny.
Their physique is not in good shape.
Fighting wearing armor and holding weapons should consume your physical strength faster than in a boxing match.
When an ordinary soldier in full condition is thrown into the front line to fight, his physical strength can last for about four or five minutes. After this time, his combat effectiveness plummets. Some of Li Mengxi's misunderstandings about cold weapon warfare were corrected at this moment.
Limited physical strength means that most ordinary soldiers cannot achieve the extraordinary feat of breaking through several hard formations in a row.
By observing the poor performance of the subsequent conical formations, Li Mengxi concluded that a conical formation composed of ordinary soldiers could probably break through three to four square formations at most before reaching its limit and losing the ability to continue breaking the formation.
The phalanx is indeed a very advantageous formation. After such a long offensive and defensive confrontation, the physical strength of the soldiers in the phalanx is also very serious, but the people behind the phalanx push the people in front, which is equivalent to the strength of several people added to the first row.
on people.
Therefore, it is normal for the powerless soldiers in the cone array to hit the pushing force composed of several combined forces and not be able to hit them at all.
The dog's nosebleed was running loudly, and he limped toward Li Mengxi while holding his nose.
The dog approached, and Li Mengxi looked at his miserable appearance and smiled.
"Brother Dog, don't lower your head," Li Mengxi tilted his head up and showed the dog, "Raise your head, you can bleed less."
Gouzi believed Li Mengxi's words. He imitated Li Mengxi's behavior, holding his head high, his face facing the sky, and his nostrils also facing the sky.
Gouzi could no longer continue to rush off the field. He stood next to Li Mengxi, his head held high, but his eyes were still looking down the field.
He quietly looked around and saw that there was no one around. Gouzi came over and asked Li Mengxi in a low voice in a mysterious manner, "Military advisor, do you think we are working hard? It's just that we didn't get any rewards. We only got a bruised nose and a swollen face. Hi.
!”
Shizhang Gouzi sniffed, and his mouth was crooked in pain. Gouzi regretted a little, why did he work so hard.
Li Mengxi opened his mouth, and he joked with a smile, "Tsk! There is no reward. Don't you plan to practice, Brother Dog? Whether you will be rewarded or not is the general's business. Once you have practiced your skills, your skills are your own."
"Even if General Guan doesn't reward us, can we still stop practicing?"
"In these times of war and chaos, if you have more skills at your side, you will have more money to save your life. Do you think you are not a dog brother?"
Li Mengxi's words made the dog scratch his head and giggle.
