Datang Mo knife formation

"Stop". Hearing Li Pojun babble a lot of bird-like language, Li Shimin stopped with a headache.

Curious and puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Belch...... Li Pojun stalked, his little face pulled, and said with a smile: "I was talking about my father just now, saying that my father is really a wise and martial artist, hehe, yes, a wise and martial artist." After saying that, he nodded seriously.

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he squinted at Li Pojun and nodded, "Oh, that's what it means, I have written it down, go back and call a Hu Shang, and I will also go to study."

Belch...... Li Pojun was stunned, and he was so busy that he couldn't speak.

Thinking in my heart, you are still looking for Hu Shang to learn, not to mention how far Roman Byzantium is from the Tang Dynasty, is there any Hu Shang who can go so far, even if you find a Hu Shang who can speak and understand, I am the language of the 21st century, it must be different from the present, you just write it down like this, and then relay the past, people can translate it? Joke.

Li Shimin's attention was not here, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and asked: "What kind of country is the Byzantine Empire and the law you are talking about, but it is as strong as my Tang Dynasty?"

When Li Pojun heard this, he also replied: "If we talk about comprehensive national strength now, my Datang is not as good as these countries in their heyday." Li Pojun still didn't say a word in his heart, but after a few years, when my Tang Dynasty is at its peak, it will be invincible in the world.

Li Shimin slapped his hand when he heard it, "Nonsense? How can there be such a strong country in the world? Hugh has to listen to the nonsense of those businessmen."

Li Pojun faced him and said: "Father, why do you care about this, my China has gone through the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, the rebellion of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the vitality is greatly damaged, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, you first ascended the throne, it is the time to change the heavens and the earth, and in time, what is the difficulty of surpassing these countries, he waved his troops westward and destroyed these countries." The horseshoe steps are all for the Tang Dynasty, and the sun shines on them, all of which are Middle Earth. Isn't it beautiful to establish a higher and greater merit than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu? ”

Li Shimin didn't speak when he heard this, got up and patted his buttocks, and left, and suddenly, he turned around again.

"I was almost fooled by you bastard, you just ran around and didn't pursue it, remember, grounded for five days, don't resist the order." After that, he waved his sleeves and went back.

Only Li Pojun's head was left standing a little confused, what was this reaction.

When the belligerent Emperor Taizong heard about these countries in the West, shouldn't he actively ask for information about these countries, and then make every effort to govern the country, in order to set foot on the world one day, why is it so bland, I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Since it was grounded, he just couldn't get out, so he had to nest in the East Palace, but Li Pojun was not bored.

No, I saw that he was writing like a great calligrapher, and Xiao Qiu'er was grinding ink and laying paper with red sleeves and fragrance.

Even if it is to write the Mo Sword Formation, of course Li Pojun will not create it himself, so he can only copy it, as for what to move, it is naturally to copy the mighty and invincible Tang Army.

Li Pojun knew that the main combat method of the Tang Army in the Tang Dynasty was that the army was divided into archers, crossbowmen, garrisons, battle front teams, horse troops, jumping soldiers, cavalry and other types according to its functions.

Whenever the battle began, and the enemy was at one hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen began to fire;

When the enemy was at sixty paces, the archers began to shoot arrows;

When the enemy enters 20 steps, the crossbowman holds a knife and stick (i.e., a knife and a stick) and the front team enters the battle team to fight together, and after the hoplites and the enemy's infantry cavalry are in short contact, the cavalry, the horse army, and the jumping army are not allowed to act rashly, if the battle situation of the infantry in front is not smooth, the jumping, cavalry, and horse army can meet the enemy attack, and the heavy infantry will retreat and reorganize and prepare to reinforce, if the jumping, cavalry, and horse army attack is unfavorable, All infantry troops (in addition to heavy infantry armed with swords, the Tang Dynasty army also included shield bearers who defended against long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, and light infantry armed with short weapons) had to fight in conjunction with the Ma army. When the enemy retreats, the Ma army must not pursue it easily, and it must be confirmed that the enemy is truly defeated before they can cover up and kill one after another.

The Tang army is a combination of infantry and horses, offensive and defensive, infantry is the frontal vanguard is the most important frontal attack force, cavalry is the side auxiliary, usually used to outflank the enemy or quickly impact the enemy position with an unstable foothold, the infantry is equipped with bows, crossbows, and Mo knives, and the cavalry is responsible for the assault and pursuit of the infantry after the battle.

At this time, the Modao was used as a long-handled broadsword like a knife wall to advance head-on, strangling the enemy's frontal living force with an undue momentum, and the enemy army was often shattered under the strangulation of the Modao heavy infantry, which was the main force of the vanguard infantry group to charge into battle, and together with the horse army and cavalry, it constituted the main feature of the Tang battle.

Moreover, Li Pojun also knew that his father's personal combat characteristics were that he liked to choose the weak parts of the enemy's formation and personally led the cavalry to charge, and the enemy was also very face-saving "the enemy was all defeated".

The strength of the early Tang Dynasty was an important guarantee for the victory of a large number of cavalry battles, and the Mo knife like a wall advance tactics of the infantry army in the middle period created a glorious war history in the Tang Dynasty, and also created the myth of Mo Dao, and achieved a group of Mo sword generals such as Li Siye.

From Wude to Tianbao, Tang was able to achieve victory in the War of the Establishment of the Kingdom and the war with the nomads who were good at cavalry and archery, and the use of the offensive weapon of the infantry, the Modao, cannot be said to have constituted one of the main reasons.

The emergence and popularization of the Mo knife is not an isolated phenomenon, it is related to the internal policy of the Tang Dynasty and the changes in the entire military situation. It can also be said that the history of the use and promotion of the Mo knife is an aspect of the history of Tang Liguo, foreign wars, and Kaitian martial arts.

That's why Li Pojun admires Modao so much, he wants to set up his 10,000 troops with 3,000 Modao Army, unfold the wall push tactic, 3,000 people line up in a column and push it according to this example, line up in several rows or even dozens of rows, and in the battle, first use the crossbow array composed of crossbowmen to carry out long-range attacks on the enemy, and then carry out medium and long-range attacks with an arrow array composed of archers! Then the Mo Dao Formation advanced to attack the enemy! Enter like a mountain, the knife is like a forest, the air is like a rainbow, and the guard is like a mountain! Be invincible! The front row dies, and the back row makes up for it!

Thinking of a glittering knife wall meat grinder-like heavy Mo knife array strangling alien cavalry on the grassland, Li Pojun was excited.

Brush Brush Brush ............ Li Pojun just picked up the pen and wrote down the thoughts in his heart and some improved formations, who knows, Li Pojun couldn't stop writing, and he only fell asleep when he thought about it.

There was nothing to do overnight, although Li Pojun was grounded, and he couldn't go anywhere, but his habit over the years was that he didn't stay in bed, got up early to practice martial arts, and practiced calligraphy on a whim.
