Liu Yin's wedge-shaped battle formation, inspired by a movie in his previous life, I forgot what the name is, the background of the story is the Roman invasion of England, and the Roman army relied on this wedge-shaped battle formation to crush the English army all the way, creating a miracle of winning more with less.

It is impossible not to say that Hollywood's techniques in rendering war scenes are high, Liu Yin watched this movie at that time, and this feeling is shocking, the wedge-shaped battle formation of the Romans is like a steel fortress, indestructible, and the English are completely swept and crushed in front of it.

This kind of battle formation left a deep impression on Liu Yin, and he also practiced this formation when he was training the army.

Of course, it cannot be said that this kind of battle formation has no shortcomings, although the use of hoplites and giant shields has significantly improved the defense level, but it also sacrifices speed, and this kind of battle formation is obviously not applicable to the battlefield that needs to be interspersed with deep and roundabout in a large area, so although the Shu army has practiced, it has never been put into actual combat.

And a scene like today's undoubtedly provides Liu Yin with an opportunity to use a wedge-shaped battle formation, a head-on hard-to-hard collision, and a strong defensive formation like a wedge-shaped battle formation is very needed, so Liu Yin did not hesitate to sacrifice it.

Although they had practiced before, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army were no strangers to this formation, but it was the first time to use it in actual combat, which made the hoplites at the front of the line eager to try, and their excitement was overflowing.

Fu Yan is still a little worried about Liu Yin's simple use of infantry, after all, the proportion of cavalry in the Jin army is quite large, and fighting in the plains, the advantage of cavalry is incomparable.

However, Liu Yin is calm and calm, and the usual drills can at most practice the operation of the formation, and he can't see any clues, only by experiencing the actual combat can he experience the shock brought by the wedge-shaped battle formation.

The wedge-shaped battle formation of the Shu army advanced slowly, solid and heavy, like a steel fortress that could be moved, and even every step taken by the hoplites could be heard with a uniform click, sonorous and powerful.

Unlike the slower movement of the Shu army, the momentum of the Jin army's ground assault was extremely fast, and the cavalry on both flanks suppressed the speed, so that the infantry trotting all the way could keep up with the rhythm of the cavalry, and the entire Jin army's attack line was on a horizontal line.

The high-speed running made the Jin soldiers a little out of breath, but it could drive the emotions of the Jin soldiers, there was a feeling of excitement, the war drums were rumbling, urging people to forge ahead, and the Jin army was full of enthusiasm, rushing towards the battle formation of the Shu army.

The distance between the two sides is only two or three arrows, and they are opposite, but in a moment, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to one stone's throw away.

Almost at the same time, the arrows shot by the Jin army shot from the side of the Shu army were shot into the Shu army array, and the arrows shot by the Shu army were shot into the Jin army array, and the two sides had already started a bow and arrow battle before they entered the short hand.

However, the result of the shooting was very different, the Jin army's shot fell into the Shu army's formation, either the shield in the hands of the Shu soldiers, or the heavy armor soldiers, those armed to the teeth of the armor soldiers simply ignored the arrows that were shot, their whole body except for a pair of eyes exposed, were wrapped in thick armor, even if it was a dense rain of arrows, the probability of wanting to shoot the eyes was almost negligible, only to hear the clanging, the random arrows swooped down from the top of their heads, hitting the helmets and armor of the Shu soldiers, Without exception, they fell to the ground, and they did not do any harm in the slightest.

But the arrows shot by the Shu army are different, most of the soldiers of the Jin army are wearing leather armor, the advantage of leather armor is that it is light and flexible, and does not affect the speed, but the weakness is also obvious, that is, the protection ability is weak, the sharp arrows of the Shu army can easily penetrate the body of the Jin soldiers, even if some soldiers are wearing iron armor, most of them are light chain mail, and the protective ability is far from the heavy armor of the Shu army.

In this round of arrow attacks, the Shu army obviously had the upper hand, and the Jin army only caused a small amount of damage to the Shu army, but the arrows of the Shu army caused the Jin army to fall in patches of soldiers.

However, this is obviously not enough to shake the will of the Jin army to move forward, this battle, after all, is decided by hand-to-hand white-knuckle battles, this round of arrow attacks, is just an appetizer, such a little casualties, will not affect the morale of the Jin army in the slightest.

Wen Yang supervised the battle not far behind, seeing this scene, he immediately ordered the Jin army to speed up the march, not to be entangled with the Shu army in the bow and arrow shooting, the distance of a arrow is not too far, as long as the Jin army rushes to the front of the Shu army's battle array, the Shu army's bow and arrow can be invalidated.

Wen Yang also admitted that in terms of defense, the Jin army is obviously not comparable to the Shu army, but in terms of speed and flexibility, the Jin army is far superior to the Shu army, as long as it enters the hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle, the heavy armor of the Shu army will become a burden, and the Jin soldiers can completely rely on their flexible body to gain an advantage in the white-knuckle battle.

Of course, the Jin army's greater reliance is the cavalry, fighting on the plains, the cavalry is the king, all along, the cavalry of the Wei and Jin dynasties occupies a leading position in the Three Kingdoms, this advantage is almost unshakable, Wen Yang smiled contemptuously, don't look at the Shu army tasted a little sweetness, as long as the cavalry rushes up later, they will naturally have their hardships, and the vast cavalry battle array organized by tens of thousands of elite cavalry will surely smash the ironclad battle of the Shu army in a destructive way.

The so-called strong defensive formation, under the onslaught of the cavalry, was nothing more than a joke. Wen Yang imagined that the battle formation of the Shu army would collapse thousands of miles under the impact of the Jin cavalry, and a slight smile appeared on his cold face.

Under his gaze, the men and horses of the Jin army finally rushed to the front of the Shu army's battle array, the white torrent and the red torrent were colliding, but they always maintained a clear state and could not blend together.

The scene of the hand-to-hand encounter that Wen Yang imagined never appeared.

The soldiers of the Jin army charged bravely, and when they rushed to the front of the Shu army battle array, they found that what they had to face was an impregnable copper wall, and the huge shields were densely lined up together, and there was almost no gap in sight. (To be continued.) )
