Chapter 237 Ge Spear pierces the Five-Step Alliance (7)
Although the night was dark, Sima Chu could still feel the momentum of these people opposite him.
Just by being in a neat and consistent pace, you can stop the whole team by hearing the order, and you can be considered the elite in the world at this time. Whoever can do this can be called a strong master.
When encountering in infantry battles, courage is the priority. If one can break through the enemy in one go, it can often turn into one-sided massacre.
Especially in the Chu army, as long as these people can be stuck, the Chu army will have the opportunity to organize its team and encircle them.
Sima Chu is also a brave general. He has been training since childhood and has been skilled in both chariot and ceiling battles. As soon as he meets the team opposite, he knows that the battle will not be chaotic in any case. He can only rectify the team and then take action.
After ordering, we knew that the two sides were only a few dozen steps apart. If it were in the past, the warriors around us would often launch an attack without obeying the order.
But today, it was quiet and no one was in an early attack. Instead, it kept approaching the crowded people around. It was obvious that the queue of those people on the other side caused the palpitations here.
The formation is a strong army. This is a truth that everyone in the world knows about soldiers. It is just that it is difficult to train, especially the people of Chu are mostly peasant soldiers, and even if they know, they cannot be trained.
Wu Qi once commented that the Chu people formed a formation soon.
It seems to be a very fair evaluation, but in fact it is just because of the habit of fu and bilingual interaction.
The formation is complete and not long, but in fact it means there is no formation.
You can maintain formation before the war begins, and once the battle begins, the formation will be completely loose, which is no different from having no formation.
Because the formation is not for viewing, but for fighting.
But if the formation seems to be uneven, then the fight will definitely not be neat when it is fought. This is something that children all know.
Therefore, when Chu Sima saw the opponent's formation, he felt some concerns and even a little uneasy.
At this time, the two sides were only fifty steps apart.
Car warfare is completely different from infantry warfare, although at this time they are all like a tiger in one go.
However, the impact distance of the chariot battle is about 200 steps, so that the horse can exert its maximum impact force. In addition, the archer on the car can shoot with a crossbow, which is the most perfect distance.
The impact distance of infantry battles can only be within thirty or fifty steps. If the impact is too early, the formation will be scattered, and the formation will be scattered and will only be vulnerable.
Sima Chu was not just a chariot battle, but also knew about in-person battles. She also understood that such a short distance, the best offensive method required some archers who had been trained since childhood.
Use heavy arrows or powerful crossbows to shoot the opposite formation out of the gap, causing looseness, thus breaking through in one fell swoop and completely defeating the person.
However, this is night. Those who can approach and shoot with heavy arrows and crossbows at night must be warriors, and a certain number of hand-to-hand combat infantry will be required to follow.
The Chu people did not have such conditions at this time, so the only thing they could do was to get closer and launch an impact, and launch an impact while the opponent was hitting, so that who could not hold on first.
At fifty steps, neither side stopped, and they slowed down one after another, gradually approaching, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to attack in one fell swoop.
This is how Chu Sima thought.
He was right. In the world today, it was absolutely correct to think so.
However, the people on the other side have some weapons that are far beyond this era.
One or two weapons cannot determine the outcome of a war, but when the training and organizational degree of both sides are similar, the weapon can become the last weight on the balance.
Gong Zaoye held a heavy iron lump in his palm, and listened to the sound of drums slowly pounding behind him, and walked forward slowly.
He hid behind the shield hand, even if there was no crossbow on the opposite side, even if the opposite side chose to directly impact.
He observed the distance between the two sides, counted his steps, and calculated the throwing distance between himself and his comrades and his junior brothers.
The distance of fifty steps was constantly shortened, and there was still not much noise on the Mozhe.
Gong Zaoye secretly counted his steps. When he walked from fifty to thirty steps, Gong Zaoye knew that there were less than ten steps, both sides had to launch an attack and use the power of running to disperse the enemy formation.
The winner, if the number of players on both sides is almost the same, if both sides are forming a formation, it depends on who can beat the other side at the moment of the impact.
But times have changed.
When Gong Zaoye's left foot stepped onto the ground again, his cheeks swelled hard, and the whistle blew, causing the advance team to temporarily stop.
Then he shouted loudly and shouted, "Light! Throw!"
With a shout, coupled with the sharp whistle, he put the iron lump in his hand close to the fuse around his waist.
The hissing sound, the smoke of gunpowder with bitter taste of sulfur, instantly filled the team, and fifty or sixty people lit the gunpowder thunder in their hands at the same time.
Almost in an instant, dozens of gunpowder thunders that appeared in the battle formation for the first time were thrown out at the same time, with flashing sparks, passing a wonderful and death-colored arc in the air.
This is not a rainbow, but a meteor of death is flashing.
Dozens of gunpowder thunder fires rolled in the air, turning into colorful and attractive lines with hissing sounds.
This is the first time this beautiful thing that can be used as fireworks appeared on the battlefield.
So sudden, so brilliant, so tempting.
So much so that the Chu people on the opposite side stopped and paused, looked at the twinkling lights in the air, recalled the shooting stars I saw when I was a child, and forgot to step forward.
When Chu Sima made the team pause for a moment before, he realized something was wrong.
No one would choose to reorganize the team when they were dozens of steps apart, and the teams on the opposite side had not dispersed and were always extremely neat.
At this time, it suddenly paused, and Sima Chu really couldn't figure out why.
He knew that Mo was good at fighting, and it was precisely because he knew that the other party was good at fighting that such an unreasonable situation could not occur.
Stop when you are dozens of steps apart. Once the opponent starts the first attack, you will be passive, because many people may not obey orders or be slow to react because of panic.
No matter which one, it may cause gaps in the team.
During infantry battles, the teams appear in gaps or scatters, which are taboos in fighting.
Chu Sima's doubts only stayed for a moment, because then he heard a very angry business and shouted two words.
He couldn't understand because the person who called was using the earth language of the Song people. It was neither Chu language nor elegant sound. It was really the Song language that could not be more earthy. However, this was the communication language within the Mo people.
Then, Chu Sima saw many strange things thrown out behind the shield array opposite.
The night sky was very dark, and you could see that it was some black and dirty things, like strange things the size of a fist.
The strangest thing about these things is that there is a twinkling tail behind them, just like a comet flying that year.
Sima Chu felt a little uneasy. Comets always bring bad news. When Qin Bo died, comets appeared in the sky.
Thinking of the rumors that Mozhe values ghosts and gods and is good at sacrificing sacrifices, Chu Sima Xin said, is this a method similar to a method of welcoming the enemy temple? Or is this asking for help from the Emperor of Heaven?
This is difficult to guess and cannot be known, but the inner uneasiness and anxiety that look like a comet both made Chu Sima panic.
Bang……
A tail no longer caught fire, but began to emit strange black bumps of smoke and fell at Chu Sima's feet.
This thing is round and is much larger than the stone thrown by the thrust rope, and it looks much heavier.
However, when it comes to the damage, it doesn't seem to be very big. Only a few people were hit and screamed in pain.
Those who hit the head may bleed; those who hit the foot will be jumping and screaming.
But there was a strange smell in the air, so strange that it could not be smelled at all.
It's slightly bitter and a little pungent.
Chu Sima thought to himself, what is this? What are these Mohist disciples doing?
He just thought for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to kick something under his feet.
However, the moment his feet stretched out, a sound of thunder came from his ears, not under his feet, but a few beside him.
The purple-red flashes, like the lightning of night.
The roaring sound was like a surging river tide.
"not good!"
This was the last thought of Sima Chu, the King of Zhigui of Chu, and then he knew nothing.
Because the black lump under his feet had exploded when he thought something was wrong.
Fifty or sixty gunpowder thunders thrown into the Chu people formation exploded almost instantly. This was their first roar in the world's military formation, and it was also the first time to look at the world.
So the Chu people didn't know what this was, nor did they know how to defend against it, and some even wanted to kick it.
boom……
Boom...
If someone who knows gunpowder, as long as this thing is ten feet away, it will at most block your ears and laugh indifferently: "Gunpowder! No worries!"
However, for those who have never seen gunpowder, even if this thing is a hundred feet away, they can only think that it is heavenly thunder, this is the punishment of the Emperor of Heaven, and that the ghosts and gods are standing on the side of Mozhe.
There was a loud bang, a roar, a lightning, and a thick smoke.
All of this will eventually appear on the battlefield, which will appear on the battlefield earlier than it should have appeared for thousands of years.
The first time, it's always unique.
The dense formations of the Chu people have brought the power of these weapons to the extreme.
It has been kept secret for several months, and the sudden intimidation of these weapons that has never been used has been brought to the extreme.
On one hand, I have heard it dozens of times and even knew it was called gunpowder, and on the other hand, I have never seen it before. The two were wrong with the news, which made the shock of these weapons reach the extreme.
The Chu people who originally wanted to surround him were shocked and buzzed with their ears. Without thinking, they threw down the weapon in their hands and fled backwards.
Some people in Chu thought of the previous rumors, thought that Mozhe dug the direction of the crypt digging tens of steps away, and thought of the sayings of ghosts and gods, thinking that human power can fight ghosts and gods? So they no longer want to fight, they just want to escape.
The explosions of fire, sounds, and dozens of shocks that erupted at the same time made the Chu army around them scared them to the point of being at a loss.
"ghost!"
"No, it's the Heavenly Emperor Thunder God!"
"This is a punishment for the unjust war!"
