2. The power of the battle array

If a frontal assault can't be done, then just outflank Gao and attack the two flanks of Li Zixiao's pikemen, trying to disrupt the array of spears on this side and provide them with an opportunity to get closer.

In this way, if they wanted to defeat Li Zixiao's subordinates head-on, they disappeared directly, and the tactic that Qi Wei formulated at the beginning was to drag it head-on and break through on both wings.

He left fifteen people to be responsible for pulling the pikemen in the front, while the other fifteen people were divided into two wings to attack, Zhou Dazhu saw that Qi Wei's side was divided into two wings, and immediately knew that they were attacking pikemen from both wings.

That was the weakest part of the pikemen, and at the moment of the order, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row of the pikemen retreated to the two flanks of the pikemen under his leadership, and were responsible for defending and protecting the pikemen's flanks.

As soon as Li Zixiao in the back saw Qi Wei change his tactics and actually divided half of his troops to the two wings of the spear queue, he immediately understood that Qi Wei saw the weakness of his spear formation at a glance, and he was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran with poisonous eyes.

"Blow the trumpet, wave the flag, and let Wei Hong speed up the pace of the attack!" Li Zixiao ordered to the trumpeter and standard-bearer beside him.

Coo-goo-goo......

After hearing Li Zixiao's order, the trumpeter next to him blew a rapid horn, and then the standard-bearer next to him also waved the red flag, took a step ahead, and waved the red flag fiercely, which was an order for Wei Hong to speed up the attack.

"Keep going, one-two-one, spear thrust, kill!" After Wei Hong heard the rapid sound of the trumpet and saw the flag waved, he immediately gave the order to speed up the attack.

In fact, he also noticed the new tactical arrangement on Qi Wei's side, and when he saw that Qi Wei had fully divided his forces to go around their flank, he knew that the other party had found their weak part and planned to break through on the flank.

He knows his own flaws best, and Wei Hong certainly understands that their spear formation is most afraid of attacks from the flanks, so he sped up the pace of his attacks, hoping to 'kill' the frontal enemy as soon as possible.

Moreover, it was necessary to deal with the fifteen enemies left by Qi Wei on the front before Qi Wei's men on both wings broke through the defense of Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers.

Only in this way can he change his formation and cooperate with Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers to deal with the enemy who detoured to the two flanks.

If, before Wei Hong commanded the pikemen to completely 'kill' the fifteen enemies in front, Zhou Dazhu's two wings would have been lost.

Then if they are approached by the sword-wielding enemy of the pikemen who break through the flanks, they will face a massacre, and they will lose.

At the beginning of this competition, Li Zixiao and Qi Wei were aware of the key to determining the outcome of this competition.

That is to see if Qi Wei's people break through Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers first, or Wei Hong will kill all of Qi Wei's people who stay on the front first.

In fact, Li Zixiao was standing in the compound, and he could directly command his subordinates to fight by shouting, but he didn't, and he didn't plan to say a word throughout the whole command.

All of them used the trumpeter and standard-bearer next to him to convey combat orders for him, which was also Li Zixiao's new idea of how to remotely control the battle of his own team.

"Kill, kill!" After Wei Hong's order was issued, the speed of the spear team increased significantly, killing the fifteen people left behind by Qi Wei.

At this time, the fifteen people left in front of Qi Wei could not escape, so they had to meet the pikemen fiercely, after all, their task was to delay time.

Puff puff......

Under Wei Hong's command, the pikemen completed the first round of stabs, and four of Qi Wei's men were stabbed in the vital parts by the pikemen, leaving white pink spots on their bodies.

After Luo Chao's fair verdict, Wei Hong's attack on the pikemen caused a total of fifteen people left by Qi Wei in front, three of whom died on the spot and withdrew from the battle directly.

There was also a Qi Wei subordinate who was seriously injured and was judged by Luo Chao to be completely uncombative, and Wei Hong's first round of attacks yielded four results, which was really gratifying.

Qi Wei obviously saw that Wei Hong's pikemen on the front had accelerated, and he knew that Li Zixiao had seen through his intentions when he attacked the fifteen men who had been left to resist on the front.

"Hey, the eyes are poisonous enough, then let's see if I tear through the defenses of your two-winged sword and shield soldiers first, or if your frontal pikemen first finish out the frontal enemy, and then join forces with Zhou Dazhu to launch a counterattack against the enemy."

Qi Wei looked at Li Zixiao, who was also paying attention to the battlefield situation not far away, with a serious face, and said seriously.

"Kill!"

At this time, fierce shouts and killing also broke out on the two wings, and Qi Weirang went around to the two wings and launched a fierce offensive against Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers.

Moreover, Qi Wei's attack on the left and right flanks was also severe, fifteen people were divided into two, including a group of five, attacking the left flank where Zhou Dazhu himself was, not seeking to break through the sword and shield defense line on the left flank, but only to contain them.

The other ten men went straight to the sword and shield soldiers on the right flank, and they wanted to break through the defense of the right flank in the shortest time, while Zhou Dazhu placed five people on the left and right sides of the pikemen queue.

This means that the five sword and shield soldiers on the right will have to withstand the onslaught of the double enemy, which will put great pressure on their defense.

"Thrust!"

"Kill, kill!"

At this time, Wei Hong had already commanded the pikemen to advance again, launching a new round of spurs against the eleven Qi Wei's men left in the front.

And the Lin family's compound is so big, the eleven people retreated again and again, and they had already reached the root of the wall, and they couldn't continue to retreat, so they could only fight.

Poof, poof......

Immediately, with these eleven people rushed up, they were soon stabbed in the body by the oncoming cotton cloth wrapped in wooden poles, leaving a white spot on their bodies, which was the location where they were shot.

Another round of stabs, eleven people fell directly, three people fell, and one person was slightly injured, at this time Wei Hong no longer needed to direct the pikemen to advance, only needed to carry out a fierce stab against the remaining 'enemies' who had been forced to the root of the wall.

If this continues, it is estimated that there will be two more rounds of stabs, and all the fifteen people left by Qi Wei will be 'killed', and Qi Wei is also anxious, and he issued the most severe order to the ten people who attacked the right flank.

The ten people were also like crazy, frantically attacking the five sword and shield soldiers on the right flank, and the five sword and shield soldiers were struggling to support, and three of them had already fallen.

The remaining two couldn't hold out for a few seconds at all, and Wei Hong saw that his front enemy had not been eliminated, and his right defense line was about to collapse, which was not good.

Doodle......

At this time, the trumpeter next to Li Zixiao not far away blew the trumpet again, and the flag bearer waved the red flag and made a special flag-waving action, others couldn't see what it meant, but Wei Hong knew.

"The pikemen in the back row, listen to my orders, and all of them retreat into a 'V' formation." After Wei Hong saw Li Zixiao's new order, he immediately shouted at the pikemen in the second row where he was.

Then both of his pikemen quickly retreated, and even if they retreated, their neat long line suddenly folded in the middle, and the five pikemen on the left and right flanks approached each other to form a new V-shaped formation.

Then, they quickly adjusted their direction, held their spears flat, and aimed the V-shaped arrows at Qi Wei's men who were attacking the right flank.

At this time, the last two sword and shield soldiers on the right flank were also 'killed' by the enemy, and Qi Wei only paid the price of three 'killed'.

However, Qi Wei's subordinates, who finally eliminated the sword and shield soldiers on the right flank, found that they did not attack the right flank of the pikemen as they wished, and Wei Hong led the pikemen who had changed formations to re-stand in front of them, holding the right flank of the first captain spearman.

This pair of V-shaped pikemen spears pointed at them, so that Qi Wei had to order the remaining seven people to continue the strong attack, they braved the spear head of the pikemen, and immediately used their superb martial arts to swing the tip of the spear, close to the pikemen.

Suddenly, the right flank fell into a fierce battle between seven Qi Wei's men and ten pikemen, and at the same time, at this time, the pikemen in front of him paid the price of the death of three pikemen, and 'killed' a full fifteen Qi Wei's men in front of him.

The spear forest in front is really difficult to break through, and in the face of the ten wooden poles stabbed at the same time, it is difficult for anyone to defend against all of them.

The only death of the three pikemen was when Wei Hong's second captain spearmen retreated and relined the formation, and were blocked by the last of Qi Wei's men with a spear.

Rushing to the pikemen along the gap between the two guns of the first line of pikemen, they 'killed' them, and the seven pikemen who had their hands free immediately began to change formation.

It would be their turn to stand behind Wei Hong's spearman, and stab the spear in his hand through the gap between them.

On the left flank, Zhou Dazhu led four sword and shield soldiers, against five Qi Wei's men, the number was equal, but they only got a tragic death, and in the end, Zhou Dazhu paid the price of three deaths and one minor injury to solve five Qi Wei's men.

At this time, there were still twelve pikemen and two sword and shield soldiers left on Li Zixiao's side on the field, and they were re-lined and the formation was not dispersed, and Qi Wei only had five of his subordinates left 'alive'.

Soon, with an eager trumpet, the red and green flags of the flag bearers waved in unison, and Wei Hong and Zhou Dazhu launched a final attack on the last five Qi Wei's men.

Puff puff......

In the end, Li Zixiao's pikemen poked out white spots on the five Qi Wei's men, which meant that they were all 'killed in battle', and Li Zixiao's men still had eleven people alive, thus winning the victory.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, Li Zixiao did not speak during the whole process, he just gave orders, and the flag-bearers and trumpeters around him conveyed the orders.

This kind of command method was thought up by Li Zixiao in the cottage, after all, if he commanded more people to fight in the future, he couldn't keep shouting.

Sometimes the team is far away from the manager, and the voice of the people can't be understood at all, and at this time, the trumpet and flag are the best way to give orders.

For this reason, Li Zixiao specially discussed with Wei Hong, Zhou Dazhu, and Liu Chong, and temporarily designed a set of simple flags to express orders, which happened to meet Li Zixiao's requirements of only grasping the overall situation.

For example, Li Zixiao will issue orders in a relatively general direction such as speeding up the offensive, stabilizing the left flank, and breaking through the right flank when necessary, and how to command the battle in detail to achieve such a tactical goal is the problem of his generals.

Especially at the last moment of this competition, Li Zixiao frequently issued orders to change formations, and the trumpets sounded frequently, and in the end, the battle ended with Luo Chao announcing that Li Zixiao's side won and Qi Wei's side was annihilated.

After the end of the competition, Qi Wei was also dumbfounded, stood there for a long time without speaking, and then walked straight to Li Zixiao, bowed his hand and said: "We lost the competition today, Li Dangjia's unique battle formation is indeed ingenious, Qi Wei has been taught today." ”

Li Zixiao saw that Qi Wei's attitude was so modest, and he directly admitted it if he lost, and his good impression of Qi Wei suddenly rose again, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Qi is polite, this competition is also our luck."

The Lin family compound restricts your play, if you really meet you in the field, even if it is an infantry field battle, the number is equal, I am really not sure to defeat you, to be honest, today we won by luck, don't take it to heart. ”

Li Zixiao really didn't lie, in this competition, if it weren't for the fact that the Lin family's compound was too small, Qi Wei left the fifteen people in charge of pinning down in front of him and was forced into a corner, unable to continue to delay time, and was quickly 'killed' by the pikemen.

Otherwise, if they were allowed to delay a little longer, it would be difficult for them to win even if their right arm was blocked again by the second captain spearman using a V-shaped formation.

Because in the case of the same number of two sides, Li Zixiao knew very well that these pikemen of his were by no means the opponents of Qi Wei's strong martial arts, once one person swung the barrel of the gun and approached the pikemen along the crack of the gun, they would collapse.

"Haha, Li Dangjia doesn't have to be polite, if you lose, you lose, there is no reason, I Qi Wei still lost, I made a friend of Li Dangjia."

"Haha, as long as Brother Qi is not afraid that I, the bandit leader, will implicate you, I will also make you a friend."

"Hey, if I'm afraid that the government will be implicated, I won't take my brothers to intercept the road for a living."

"Just Brother Qi's words. Brother Qi, you see that the brothers have had a morning exercise, there was a competition, they are already very tired, I have asked the kitchen to make breakfast, how about we go to eat first? ”

"Well, let's go, let's eat."

At the end of the competition, although Li Zixiao won but was not arrogant, Qi Wei was defeated, but he also showed an atmosphere, and he was not dissatisfied with Li Zixiao because of this, but made the two pay more attention to each other.

As Li Zixiao ordered the announcement of the end of the morning exercise and the preparation of the meal, everyone cheered.

These guys had been training all morning, and they were all hungry at this time, and Dong Zhuang used a small cart to pull the white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, and some pickles and meat made in the back kitchen.

"Okay, Brother Qi, it's been so long since I've been exercising in the morning, and my brothers are all tired, let's have dinner!" Li Zixiao said to Qi Wei with a smile.

"Okay." Qi Wei's expression was a little unnatural.

Before, Qi Wei also swore that his subordinates were so powerful, all of them had survived countless tragic battles, and they were good at fighting against ten.

But in a blink of an eye, he was easily defeated by Li Zixiao's men, this is simply a slap in the face, at this time, Qi Wei said that he didn't care, but if he really felt comfortable in his heart, then there would be a ghost!
