Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 42
The spears are also prepared for the shield wall. If they encounter cavalry, they will protrude from the shield wall. First, it can support the shield wall.

If it is an infantry battle, stabbing out from the shield wall can also effectively kill the enemy without getting hurt.

The round shield is a wooden shield with a layer of cowhide added on the outside. It is not only light, but also has excellent defense.

In fact, it is recorded in the cheat book that the square shield should be tall, and it is best to use an iron shield, and there is no requirement for a round shield.This is also the reason why Xuanshuijia soldiers only have a limit of [-]. Not only is the cost high, but it also requires tacit cooperation and strong soldiers.

Every day in a group of ten people, the daily training is to constantly familiarize yourself with the formation, cooperate, and cooperate with neighboring comrades in arms. This requirement is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

Xuanshui Jiabing, without armor, naturally cannot succeed, but unfortunately, as an ordinary soldier, he has not seen results, even if the brothers are working hard, it is impossible to equip him.

Fortunately, the secret book records several ways of making armor, not only good fish scale armor, willow leaf armor, bronze armor, but also leather armor, plate armor, rattan armor, and bamboo armor.

Situ Changfeng chose the easiest to make and the only one that could be used - bamboo armor!
Let people find bamboo forests nearby at will, cut down a batch, and break them into one-foot-long bamboo boards; simply punch a hole, and use twine to thread them together, and soon a pair of half-body armor is formed.

Although the style is ugly, it also makes the five hundred soldiers very happy. They are all people who have been on the battlefield. Of course, they hope that their defenses will be as high as possible.

The bamboo armor is not only light and does not affect the movement, but also it is easy to slide away when it is attacked by a knife, a spear, or a bow and arrow.

500 people worked hard for a whole day, and finally completed the modification of the square shield and the bamboo armor, and they are looking at each other and adjusting them while wearing them.

"Hachiro!"

Three more people came over with long spears, and they were the brothers of the Yang family just by their appearance.

"Second brother! Fourth brother! Fifth brother!" Situ Changfeng looked back and saluted one by one.

"Brother said that you are training here. Our third brother just finished patrolling, so he came over to take a look, and sent someone to bring food." Yang Erlang Yang Yanding, carrying the eight-treasure red gold gun, asked with concern with a smile.

"Thank you, Second Brother, for your concern!" Situ Changfeng said with an embarrassed smile. He knew that a few people were afraid that it might not be possible for him to lead the army for the first time, so he came over to have a look as soon as he was free.

"How is it? Is there anything I can do for you?" Yang Yanding asked.

In one day, 500 people did not train, but were busy making things instead. As brothers, of course, they had asked clearly.

This will come to see, not only to help him stabilize the morale of the army, but also to see if the things produced are useful, so as not to make jokes about not knowing the soldiers.

"A few brothers, please give me advice!" Situ Changfeng also hurriedly asked for advice.

Although there are cheats, there is always a gap in reality, not to mention that the brothers are all veterans in the battlefield, it would be too much of a disadvantage if you don't ask.

As he spoke, he brought his three older brothers to the soldiers, set up a shield wall, and gave them a detailed explanation without reservation, explaining all the details one by one.

It can be said that Yang Yanding and the others can basically train after listening to it.

The third brother listened and thought, then looked at the shield wall and the bamboo armor, and then squatted on the ground to see the formation diagram drawn by Situ Changfeng.

"Balang, why is this called the Xuanshui Jiabing?" Yang Silang and Yang Yanhui asked, pointing at the soldiers who were eating with a golden gun on a chrysanthemum.

"It's recorded in the book that Xuanshui armored soldiers wear black clothes and armor, with black flags on their backs, and black flags in the formation behind their shields. I don't think it's very useful, and if you don't have enough time, it's useless," Situ Changfeng thought. After a while, he patted his head and said.

"Hey, Hachiro, you can think about it badly, it's not useless, but very useful, this formation is just a defensive formation at first glance.

But if you think about it carefully, you are prepared for both offense and defense. If you want to win more with less than 500 people, you can't do it by defense alone. "Yang Yanhui said with a smile.

"Fourth Brother, please speak up!" Situ Changfeng asked hastily.

"The principle lies in the black flag. From someone's point of view, it is not only necessary to prepare, but also to prepare more.

The array of flags prevents the enemy from knowing the exact number of people, and the flags placed behind the shield can lure the opponent to attack the open space; wearing black clothes with black flags on the back can also complete the feeling of strength in numbers when attacking. , thereby confusing the enemy. "Yang Yanhui explained.

"That's it! Fourth brother really woke up the dreamer with one word. If you didn't tell me, I don't know when I would find out." Situ Changfeng suddenly realized and said happily.

"It's just that you don't have enough battle experience, Balang, but this formation is really powerful. With a little correction, even tens of thousands of people can use it." Yang Yanhui praised.

"It's really so powerful!" Situ Changfeng asked in disbelief.

"Of course, from my brother's point of view, this should be born out of the Five Elements Formation, suitable for a small number of soldiers and horses.

If it is to be used on a large scale, the requirements for soldiers are too high, and it can be done in a short period of time. After returning, my brother will explain it to you in detail. "Yang Wulang and Yang Yande analyzed with the one-horned soap golden gun in his hand a few times.

"In the next few days, please ask Fifth Brother to see if there are any shortcomings in my younger brother." Situ Changfeng said hastily cupping his hands.

"We are going to set off tomorrow. I can only say that I will try my best. This time I will just practice my skills. When I get back, I will ask my father to select his own men to practice with you." Yang Yande said with a smile.

"Not to mention other things, Balang's bamboo armor is a good thing. Not only is it easy to make, but it is also quite practical; it's just easy to be imitated. I'm afraid there will be more bamboo armor soldiers on the battlefield in the future." Yang Yanding said with a raised eyebrow.

"Second brother is right, but let's use it first, and I will tell my father later, and equip the forwards first." Yang Yanhui accepted the words and agreed.

"It's really good. Even if you wear leather armor, you can still wear another layer, and your life-saving ability has improved a lot." Yang Yande also said on the side.

Several people looked at Situ Changfeng with admiration, which made him a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't invent it himself, but just copied it from the book.

"This bamboo armor is best selected from old bamboos that are more than three years old, made of equal size, dried in the sun, and then worn with hemp rope; it not only has amazing defense, but also is easy to make and low in cost.

Even if a part is broken, just take it off and replace it. The most important thing is that it can be used by the horse. It is very light and will not affect the horse's activities at all. " Situ Changfeng lowered his voice and introduced to the three elder brothers.

After hearing Situ Changfeng's introduction, the eyes of the three brothers became brighter and they almost clapped their hands.

You must know that the national power of the Song Dynasty is not strong, there are not so many iron armors and leather armors to equip the soldiers, with this bamboo armor, it can be said to be a great weapon; the combat power of the soldiers has increased by at least [-]%.

Just when several people were grinning stupidly, Situ Changfeng continued: "Of course, you can also soak it in tung oil to make your defense more outstanding, but in this way, you will be particularly afraid of fire attacks."
