Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 10
In the next few days, among the fanatical 15 militiamen, 6 were quickly elected.

Twenty thousand of them could ride horses and were assigned to the cavalry.

The remaining 3 people were selected as Zhengbing, that is, soldiers and horses fighting in formation.

The weapons they used were Macedonian spears.

100 people form a spear phalanx, and a centurion is set up.

500 people form a hollow phalanx, with a length of 500 people.

Three hollow phalanxes of 500 people can also be arranged in the shape of a word, with horns for each other, and a regiment leader.

3 horses, just the soldiers of [-] legions.

Their shields are all cutaway shields, which are fixed on the body and the wrist of the left hand with a strap. The spear sticks out from the cutaway corner, which does not affect the gun held by the left hand. Although it cannot be lifted up, the shield is big enough to defend with a slight bow. the whole body.

Moreover, the craft of making the shield is the Teng shield with local characteristics. This thing is light and can even be used to resist matchlock guns in the Qing Dynasty. Except that it is too light to stand cheap in a collision, there is no problem with its defensive ability.

With the gun and shield integrated, the training content is much simpler, and the existence of shield soldiers is also reduced, which is convenient for command.

At the same time, each phalanx is also equipped with ten additional light infantry who are good at melee and have strong single-handed martial arts.

They don't form large formations, they are only responsible for filling the gaps between the square formations.

Once the main soldiers meet the enemy head-on, these light infantry will outflank the enemy from both wings, and start a melee in groups of ten.

The weapons Li Ke equips them are the captain holding a shield and a one-handed ax built with modern steel technology.

Two spearmen were responsible for fending off possible incoming cavalry.

The four armed with shields, javelins and daggers were responsible for long-range attacks. They didn't need to be very accurate, they just threw the javelins into the crowd, and they could also act as shield soldiers.

Three long halberds, responsible for harvesting heads.

The halberd is indeed an artifact for single combat. It has a downward-facing blade. If you hit the shield soldier directly, the lower blade can bypass the shield and hit the shield soldier directly on the head. After all, except for the Romans in this world, No one would raise their shield directly above their head.

It can also directly hook the enemy's feet to pull the enemy out of the shield formation.

Armies without shields are also unable to block such a halberd. After all, if it blocks its pole, its horizontal blade can still cut the enemy.

And once you hook the opponent's weapon, pull it back, and when the opponent subconsciously wants to grab the weapon back with force, you can push the boat forward...

Harvesting human life should not be too simple. In addition to being unable to form an array and being afraid of spearmen, the halberd of the spear and spear combination is an invincible existence, and it takes advantage of melee battles.

Everyone's weapons are directly forged from Li Ke's crucible steel.

The Bingjia is exchanged by Li Ke in the system.

When the soldiers and horses began to be selected, the system gave [-] weapon-specific points.

It can only be exchanged for weapons and cannot be exchanged for other things.

Even so, the formal fish scale armor and the inner chain mail used up the [-] dedicated points for each person, and he had to embezzle [-] from his own points to make up enough.

Under the double-layer armor defense, this infantry should not be too easy to face the Turkic people who only have inferior scimitars, inferior spear-tipped lances and short bows made of bone arrows.

As for the cavalry, Li Ke didn't use systematic armor at all.

Because of the textile industry, he had no shortage of war horses. He directly allocated the eighteen thousand cavalry to one man and three horses.

There are enough horses to carry the equipment, and he also sacrificed the magic weapon of iron cavalry.

Among them, 1 people were selected by him as heavy cavalry.

Equipped with iron canned plate armor made from a crucible furnace, the whole body is shiny silver, and even the war horse has leather armor.

After the centaur is armored, it is equipped with a conical dragon cavalry gun that protrudes three meters from the horse's head. In this era, no centaur can resist their frontal charge.

What's more, the cavalry of this era were all in small formations of ten people, shuttled among the enemy's square formations, trampling on the enemy's long-range shooters or attacking those careful military formations from behind.

They basically ignored them when they were released, and there were gaps between the cavalry. When fighting, they would automatically stagger their horses' heads and use martial arts and mounted archery to deal with their opponents.

After the ten-man team decides the winner, it will support other cavalry squads, and then the winning side will gradually pile up more and more people like a snowball, and the downwind side will almost run away.

This is the era of typical classical cavalry.

The heavy cavalry Li Ke sacrificed was directly the modern phalanx cavalry, and they already had the upper hand in terms of tactics and organization.

And the remaining 8000 people are also the classical cavalry of this era, responsible for covering the flanks of the heavy cavalry and doing the work of the classical cavalry going around and stepping on long distances.

When Ma Liuzhi and other high-level peasants followed Li Ke to inspect the training of the heavy cavalry and watched them sweep towards the scarecrow target like an iron wall, they were all dumbfounded.

"The era of cavalry has changed..."

Ma Liuzhi muttered to himself.

【Ding!The system prompts, congratulations to the host for forming a combat force that occupies the top [-]% of this era's land forces, triggering hidden rewards. 】

[The system randomly presents the host with a Martial Soul, which activates the Bravery attribute point. 】

【Ding!The system will automatically randomize to Wuhun Lu Bu, and the host will directly have the real bravery, riding and command skills of Lu Bu at his peak. 】

The system prompts.

【Name: Li Ke】

[Right of Rule: 10 (Blessed by Chengdu City, more than [-] points can be upgraded to a king-level host.)]

[Brave: 109 (normal people's brave value is 25)]

[Influence: 20 (the ability to incite people's hearts)]

[Charm: 20 (can make a territory of 20 million people absolutely loyal)]

[Skill: Mind detonation (can detonate the negative emotions of the audience within (charm*[-]) during the speech, making them crazily obey the host's orders within the same number of days of influence.)]

[Skill: Peace of mind (the control of the people's heart of the city increases the number of people's hearts with the same charm value, and unlocks the upper limit, the city with more than [-] people's hearts will never betray, and the citizens will fight to the death for the host.)]

In the next second, Li Ke could only feel endless power suddenly gushing out from the depths of his body.

The cells in his body cheered and absorbed the energy, and his physical strength suddenly increased.

Even the whole person's aura has changed from being majestic and somewhat elegant at the beginning to being domineering and domineering.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Shu!"

Those sergeants also felt Li Ke's presence at this time and found him.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses bowed in obeisance at the same time.

"Ma Liuzhi, the army has already been trained, just wait for the enemy to come to sacrifice the army flag with blood."

"Take all the horses except the cavalry, including the reserves, and go northward. Starting from Pengzhou, kill the gentry all the way, liberate the people, and head north."

"My lord, I'm going to stir up the nerves of that grandson Wuji!"

Li Ke ordered domineeringly.
