Although Zhou Xing didn't do much military homework on weekdays, he also knew that the "Mandarin Duck Formation" invented by a famous general in his world was extremely powerful. There are wolves, which are specialized defensive weapons that are designed to disgust people, there are shields, which are powerful close defense weapons, and there are spears, which are specialized in poking people. In Zhou Xing's opinion, this small square formation of a dozen or so people was simply a perfect configuration. Even if the opponent is a monk, on the battlefield, how can one always use sword energy to attack from a distance? Spiritual power is not a big deal, so it is not of use. Besides, even if any wealthy family does not lack Linggu Lingguo and so on, there are still two Tengpai players in this team. For Bodao, there is no shortage of vines and moso bamboo.
According to Zhou Xing's idea, to deal with the monks, it would be best to add two more crossbowmen to the team. In this way, there are two wolf swordsmen, two rattan players, four spearmen, two crossbowmen, plus a captain, exactly eleven people. Moreover, this kind of small team can fight alone, and it is even more powerful when formed in large groups. It is really the best formation in Zhou Xing's mind to defeat the enemy in the cold weapon era.
It’s just a pity that he can only find people to chop bamboos to make wolf shields and vines to make shields, but he can’t find suitable craftsmen to make the legendary crossbows and other sharp weapons. But that's okay. You can use archers and javelins instead.
Not to mention others, even Zhou Xing himself had a headache whenever he imagined facing such a small formation of eleven people. Although the wolf trap is not fatal, it is really disgusting, affects the vision, blocks the road, and is troublesome. But if you don't break through the wolf trap, and you can't hit the opponent, you can only passively be beaten. You can't roll over it, let alone leap. The battlefield is densely packed with people. Anyone who flies into the air is a big living target, and will be killed by those who cannot reach the enemy from behind.
This is just like when he used to play games. He was not afraid of the power of the opponent's skills, but he was afraid of the opponent's field control skills.
Unless you are wearing heavy armor and ignoring this kind of wolf to break through.
When encountering this situation, Zhou Xing had already thought of a countermeasure. After all, there are few people with such profound cultivation and infinite strength as him. It is also difficult for people wearing heavy armor to move. As long as the two wolves in this mandarin duck formation use their length to control the distance, block and retreat at the same time, it will take an hour and a half, and the heavily armored warrior will probably have to kneel down.
Besides, those twigs of Langzhen are so intertwined that one could accidentally prick one’s eyes. No matter who is wearing armor, he will not cover his eyes. No matter how deep your cultivation is, your eyes are still soft. This is the most disgusting part about Langzhen. Its twigs are many and long, longer than the main trunk. It’s not enough if you split it, but it’s not enough if you don’t split it. This Langzhen has the longest weapon in his hand. He usually aims at the opponent's face, sweeping away a large area, leaving the opponent with nowhere to display his martial arts. The spearmen, archers, and harpooneers behind took advantage of the opponent's confusion and took advantage of the opportunity to attack. At such a close range, it's really rare to miss.
In Zhou Xing's opinion, in the ancient cold weapon era, this wolf trap was the most disgusting weapon, bar none.
Because it is made of moso bamboo, it is hollow inside, and moso bamboo is hard and strong enough. Your other weapons cannot be longer than it, otherwise the weight will be too heavy. What's more, its small branches can theoretically be much longer than the main trunk. They are disgusting anyway, but they are not afraid of being chopped by you, let alone being blocked by you. Those are all soft. The more you block them, the easier it is to hurt your face. Therefore, it is the best weapon for melee field control and active defensive field control.
If you pull the wolf out alone, it does no harm and is of no use. But when combined with a spear, it shows its unique field control skills.
What's more, it's cheap. It grows all over the mountains and plains. It doesn't cost anything at all. It can be used with a little pruning.
Why should we practice spear phalanx?
Why make a musket and queue up to kill?
Joke! When hundreds of people were fighting in a melee, the Lancers were completely useless against the Wolf Chun, and they controlled the field until the Lancers died. It's useless to wear armor, and your eyes can't block the twigs that are everywhere. In other words, the Yuanyang Formation is based on the Spear Team and adds the field control skills of Langzhen.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile on his face as he looked at the 500 people in the field who were divided into more than a dozen teams for training.
Hmph, by the time you refugees figure out how to defeat my army of wolf traps and spears and javelins, you will have already been swept away by me.
You bunch of rotten people, I finally arrived in Yizhou and thought I was here to enjoy life, you are better off, you are just causing trouble for me. Letting you go back to your hometown does not mean asking you to die or to build the Great Wall. Why are you rebelling? If this doesn't wipe you out, I won't be able to live a good life today.
"Kill!" With a loud roar, Qiao Feng arched his front legs and kicked his back legs, as if at this moment all the strength of his body, legs, waist, and even arms and arms was directed towards the long rod in his hand. With a bamboo spear about one foot long, he stabbed the life-sized straw man in front of him in the chest with all his strength. Big beads of sweat continued to drip from his slightly ferocious face, falling on the dusty ground. Quickly disappeared.
Qiao Feng was the first Gou Sheng to speak that day. This name was given to him by Zhou Xing, which really excited him for a long time. Of course, he had no idea that what Zhou Xing was thinking about when he named him this name was that I'm sorry, Master Qiao. This is really a poor naming plan, so I can only steal your name.
Of course, when Zhou Xing stole names, he didn’t just steal Qiao Feng’s name, he also used them all, such as Xu Zhu and Duan Yu. When it came to naming Qiao Feng for Gou Sheng, Zhou Xing still felt a little guilty, as if he had become a thief, fearing that someone would rush out from the crowd and shout, "Look, everyone, that person is a thief." But when he named the second commoner who had not been named by the whole family since ancient times as Xu Zhu, he felt less guilty. When he reached Duan Yu, he even began to feel proud. What are the remaining Zhang Wuji and Song Dynasty?Qingshu, Guo Jing, Yang Kang, Wei Xiaobao and so on, he became more and more enthusiastic as he got up, and in the end, he even forgot his name after he had just gotten up before. Of course, Gou Sheng's name is Qiao Feng, and he will never forget it.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh every time he thought of such a group of "superior martial arts" heroes in his team.
How can the things done by scholars be called stealing?
Qiao Feng is very smart and very hardworking.
When Zhou Xing asked them to stand up in line for the first time and asked them to look left and right like monkeys, he was nervous and shy. It was as if he had become a monkey being watched, being pointed at. Along with this strong sense of shyness, he became increasingly nervous. I often look face to face with people in the same team, and then both sides stare at each other, thinking that they have turned in the wrong direction, and then quickly turn in the opposite direction. As a result, the two people turn from face to face to butt to butt. .
But he slowly discovered that in this way, he was the fastest to understand what Zhou Xing said about standing at attention, looking left and right, walking in unison, turning left and right, and so on.
Then, he saw the man named Gongsun Shu who could read and write his name on a white stone with charcoal and draw a five-pointed star on the back. .
He was the first person to receive a five-pointed star.
After he got the five-pointed star, he heard Zhou Xing shouting to them that if he got a five-pointed star, he would get five copper bahts as a reward.
At that moment, he no longer felt nervous and shy about being watched and pointed out by everyone, and was replaced by excitement and anticipation. He is extremely eager to get the second five-pointed star.
Soon, because after he mastered these simple movements, he was assigned by Zhou Xing as an instructor to train those who had not yet mastered them. He was also the first instructor to teach twenty people, so a five-pointed star was added to his name.
Now, he is practicing the assassination with great concentration, although he does not know what use this simple action can have. He only knows that as long as he can get into the top ten in the competition two days later, there will be another five-pointed star after his name.
Those five copper bahts can no longer make him so excited. But for him, who had never been looked up to by so many people in his life, this feeling really made him want to stop. He absolutely couldn't bear the thought that other people had received five-pointed stars in the skill of assassination, but he had not. < /p>
"Little sister, what do you think of this straight thrust?" Two people in brocade robes were standing under a big tree about ten feet away from Qiao Feng. One was A man who looked about thirty years old, wearing a green brocade robe, turned out to be a sixth-grade monk! And standing next to him was a rather petite woman who looked to be only 2829 years old.Liu Yemei has big eyes and looks very pleasant.
“Tch,” the woman said with disdain when her brother next to her asked her: “What can civilians do to train? To deal with this straight thrust, you only need to block and then rub your body. "Progress, this man has no choice but to throw away the spear in his hand."
"What if several people stabbed you at the same time like him?" The man in his thirties continued to ask with a smile. road.
"Hmph, you are not afraid even if there are many people. Use a big shield to block them. With the strength of these civilians, you will be lucky if they are not taken down."
"This method If it were a monk, a few people would form a team and shoot out guns in succession, they would be very sharp on the battlefield." When the man heard his sister's words, he didn't say anything, but he nodded secretly in his heart, "This Bodao Tinghou. He seems to have some skills."
The man is called Gongsun Sheng, and the woman beside him is his youngest sister, named Gongsun Yan. As for Gongsun Shu, who was responsible for recording and writing during Zhou's march, he was also from their Gongsun family. Although he did not have the same father as them, he had the same grandfather. However, because Gongsun Shu had no spiritual veins and could not practice true cultivation, his status in the family was very low.
A previous ancestor of their Gongsun family established a kingdom in Shu in the late Shang Dynasty, but was later destroyed by generals sent by Emperor Guangwu of the later Shang Dynasty. Their branch was first exiled to Ningzhou, and then in the late Shang Dynasty, an ancestor of his family was recommended as the county magistrate of Bodao, and then settled in Shu.
In Bodao County, in terms of family strength, the Gongsun family is the strongest. There are eighteen monks in the family, and the one with the highest cultivation level is Gongsun Sheng and Gongsun Yan's grandfather, named Gongsun Fan, who is a fourth-grade blue-robed monk. When Zhao Min was the governor of Yizhou, he recruited Gongsun Fan's son Gongsun You to do his job. After Zhao Min's rebellion was put down by the refugees, Gongsun You did not return to Luo Shang like many of Zhao Min's subordinates. Instead, he resigned and returned to his hometown of Bodao.
When Zhou Xing single-handedly killed the rebels and rescued Wang Zhan and others, Gongsun You happened to be among the rebels. The skills displayed by Zhou Xing completely shocked Gongsun You! In all his years, he has never seen such a tyrannical person. But he didn't expect that Zhou Xing would be sealed in Bo Dao. For this reason, he often secretly rejoiced that when he besieged Wang Zhan and others, not only did he fail to do his best, but he also tacitly agreed with many others and did not work hard. Otherwise, Wang Zhan and others would have been captured by them long ago.
After Wang Zhan came to Wuyang and took office, he immediately came to apologize. Wang Zhan openly stated that everyone was in charge at that time, and he would not care about the past grudges, and proposed to hire him to do his own work. Gongsun You declined Wang Zhan's invitation on the grounds that he was a criminal.
Among the family members, Gongsun Fan’s favorite was his grandson Gongsun Sheng, and he believed that Gongsun Sheng’s future achievements would exceed that of his fourth-grade monk. And Gongsun Sheng lives up to his reputation as a genius. He was already a sixth-grade green-robed monk in his early twenties.Broken, he was promoted to a fifth-grade brown-robed monk.
As for Gongsun Shu, his grandson, Gongsun Fan didn't care at all. His family has flourished since him. He has seven sons and thirty-five grandchildren. People like Gongsun Shu who had no spiritual veins could not be said to be dispensable in Gongsun Fan's eyes, but they were selectively ignored.
But that day after Zhou Xing announced the conscription policies in Bodao, his grandson, who had long been ignored, actually ran to sign up to join Zhou Xing's team.
This made many people in the family furious!
The Gongsun family is not within the fiefdom of Bodao Hou Kingdom, and the Gongsun family does not lack the pitiful monthly salary of ten copper bahts.
Even if Gongsun Shu is just a civilian, even if his status within the family is dispensable, the Gongsun family, which has been an official for generations, cannot afford to lose this person.
Of course, not everyone in the Gongsun family was furious about this.
Gongsun Fan did not.
Neither Gongsun Sheng.
In Gongsun Fan’s more than sixty years, he has seen too many things.
When he was seven years old, General Zhong Ai of the Great Zhou Dynasty led an army to the city of cd in one fell swoop, and the empress of Shu merchants opened the door and surrendered. Then Zhong Ai saw the natural dangers of Shu and he had 200,000 elite Zhou soldiers and generals, so he wanted to separate Shu. But in the blink of an eye, those elite soldiers raised their own troops and killed Zhong Ai.
Just like Zhao Min at that time. It's just that Zhao Min was killed by refugees.
In Gongsun Fan's view, Zhong Ai was indeed greedy for profit when he wanted to separate Shu. However, it was not impossible for Zhao Min to want to separate Shu.
