When the Wuwan coalition forces in Liaodong, which came from the Mashou Mountain Road to the north, were swarming across the river, Gongsun Xu's army in the south also arrived at a hill about twenty miles from Bailang City. Here, he was intercepted and attacked by an army.

The banner raised by this army is the word "le" and the flag decoration on the flag shows that this is a military Sima.

There were only three Simas in the Bailang Camp, and only one with the surname Le: Sima of the Bailang Camp infantry Army, Le Jin.

Gongsun Xu personally led dozens of cavalry up the high slope and observed the white wolf army busy defending the formation on the hill three hundred steps away.

Gongsun Xu was first happy. The number of people in this blocking army was very small. It seemed that the information obtained was true. The people of Liaodong and the people of Wuhuan were attacking in large quantities. The main force of the White Wolf Camp should have gone to the Mashou Mountain Road to block the powerful enemy. Then he was shocked. Gongsun Xu was also a general. Even though he was not very outstanding, he still had a foundation and was very familiar with the military formations. As he looked, he put away his contempt and looked grim.

Le Jin led a group of people and horses, only 500 squadrons and 200 cavalry, totaling 700 squadrons and cavalry. Two hundred cavalry were all bow and cavalry, namely the wolf-fanged flying cavalry. Among the five hundred squadrons, three hundred were combat soldiers and two hundred auxiliary soldiers.

At this moment, the soldiers were led by their respective teams and commanded by the garrison commander, and according to the requirements of normal training, they began to set up formations in a busy and orderly manner. The swords, shield soldiers, spear soldiers, axes and hammer soldiers, and archers were all in their positions. The auxiliary soldiers led the garrison commander to carry various obstacles such as deer forts, horses, wooden caltrops, iron caltrops, wooden stakes from the ox carts and lay them down in front of the military formation. The chariots also blocked the periphery as obstacles. Two hundred cavalry led their horses on both sides of the formation, killing them.

The White Wolf Army laid a circular formation. The outer periphery was a horse-resisted horse, a deer fort, a wooden thorn and a few caltrops named "Ganlian Weaving Girl". The two sharp wooden stakes at the back were firmly nailed to the ground, forming a guardrail. The guardrail was equipped with doors every hundred steps, and behind the rail were modified chariots with baffles that could defend arrows, which were connected like battlements. Behind the chariots were the farthest range, and behind the crossbows were a row of swords and shields, behind the crossbows, a row of spearmen as cover, and at the end was a team of axe and hammer soldiers. There were walkways between each row and each row for attack and retreat, stretching all the way to the bottom of the mound. There were a row of protective stakes under the mound, and behind were archers and infantrymen with small shields and ring-headed swords.

There are flying towers more than two meters high in the formation, and there are flag bearers, trumpeters and watchers on the flying towers.

Le Jin sat in the middle of the top of the mound, with more than ten armored soldiers and drummers gathering on both sides. The army Sima Dachang and the white wolf headhunting flag behind him were spreading like waves under the setting sun, making a "bobo" sound.

There were only seven hundred soldiers, but under the arrangement of Le Jin, they were clearly divided into layers. The rules were solemn, and the momentum was like a formation of thousands of troops. No wonder even Gongsun Xu, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, was shocked.

Fishermen are not that easy to do. War is not a play. If you shake a feather fan or find a secret, the strong enemy will be wiped out. The achievement of every strategy requires action and effort, and even the price of bloodshed and sacrifice. In Lejin's plan, if you want to fight against the snipe and the clam, the most important point is to accurately control the time when the enemy from the north and the south arrives at the white wolf.

Judging from the itinerary, the enemy in the north needs to cross the White Wolf Water, and the enemy in the south has already crossed the Xuanshui River, with a smooth road of 80 miles, and it is unobstructed. If it is not blocked, it will arrive at the White Wolf early. In this way, the entire plan will be completely miscarried.

Based on this, Le Jin proposed the policy of "blocking the south and releasing the north": the enemy in the north will be released. The enemy in the south will be blocked with a force, delaying the time until dark.

This is the first battle of the infantry in the White Wolf Camp, and the opponent is four times that of the Youzhou Army.

Although it was the first battle for the new recruits and the number of enemies was small, Le Jin was not afraid and even full of confidence - seven hundred soldiers and horses may not be able to defeat the opponent's three thousand troops, but blocking them is no problem.

Le Jin's confidence was not only due to the assistance of the two hundred wolf-fanged flying cavalry, but also from the two special troops of the infantry under his command: the axe and hammer soldiers and the powerful crossbow soldiers.

Axe-rack soldiers, holding a fifteen-pound long axe or a wood-rack wrapped in iron, and wearing heavy armor, are heavy infantry with strong defense and destructive power.

A powerful crossbow soldier, holding a new type of crossbow, killing the enemy at a long distance, and becoming a cavalry nemesis.

It sounds like this is similar to Yuan Shao's elliptical soldiers and the first-row dead soldiers, while the White Wolf Axe Hammers are even better. His specialty lies in his armor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, most soldiers were very simple in protection. Generally, soldiers could not equip helmets, but only had green and brown cloth scarves, so they were called "Cangtou". Unless they had a stable territory and sufficient money and food, they might equip some elite elites with two levels of armor. Those warlords who were exiled everywhere, such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei; and warlords who were poor in the region and had shortage of money and food, such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, should not think about it.

During this period, it was very impressive to have a unit equipped with conventional armor and heavy weapons, such as Yuan Shao's elves and Gao Shun's camp. Even the later tiger and leopard cavalry were equipped with just the same equipment. The armor was only made of leather and scales with iron sheets, which were far less than the Mingguang armor of the Tang and Song dynasties and the sophisticated armor of the Infantry Army. Therefore, the heavy infantry at that time had no way to cut the knife and make the arrows difficult to penetrate, which was to wear double armor. What was this feeling? Think about wearing two cotton coats... Such heavy infantry has limited physical movements and can only do the simplest chopping action.

The armor of the White Wolf Axe Hammer soldiers was very strange - at least in Le Jin's opinion. They were wearing soft leather armor sewn into rectangular pockets with leather. Each pocket was inserted with a piece of iron plate of at least seven refinements, with a thickness of one finger, a palm long, a palm wide, a palm horizontally, four vertically, and a total of sixteen pieces.

Sixteen pieces of seven iron plates of this specification are enough to create eight ring-headed swords and equip eight soldiers! But now they are just armor on one soldier, not just weapons and lock arms on both arms - how rich is that he is so willful!

Well, it seems that Ma Han made a lot of money from visiting Jizhou and Xuzhou twice. Bailang City is really not short of money.

With such a large investment, the effect is naturally great. Le Jin personally tested it. Arrows are useless and the effect of crossbow arrows is not obvious. He personally held a spear to help run and stab. Although he could not get rid of the heavy armored soldiers, the tip of the spear in his hand was broken and he could not pierce the iron plate. For such heavy armored soldiers, only the same axe or lancers could defeat them.

Needless to say, this unique plate-type armor was inspired by the later bulletproof vests. The advantage of this armor is that it is simple in technology and strong defense. Although it also has disadvantages that affect physical activities. However, for heavy armored soldiers, there is no need for extra movements on the battlefield, just a simple slash is enough.

The new armor only has iron plate defense on the front and soft armor lined on the inside. The outer cover is hard armor, and the full armor weighs forty kilograms. Add an iron helmet, two lock arms, the main weapon is fifteen kilograms of axe hammer, the secondary weapon is a short axe, and the full set of outfits is eighty kilograms - if calculated based on the Han kilogram, it is more than 150 kilograms.

With such weight, non-strong sporty sport is difficult to bear.

The reason why Mahan only makes frontal armor is not only cost-saving. The most important thing is that it is forced to force heavy armor soldiers to always keep facing the enemy head-on.

Facing the enemy head-on, no matter how fierce the enemy attacks. With super strong defense, you still have hope of survival; and if you turn your back to the enemy (escape), even if it is just a ravine, you can kill you.

There is no need to emphasize battlefield discipline or mobilize soldiers' morale. As long as you wear this set of armor, you will face the enemy until you die.

This is the White Wolf Axe Hammer.

So what about the White Wolf Crossbowman?

Ma Han has been running around in the past two years. He has introduced a large number of people to Bailang City and obtained a large amount of money and food through various means. He has worked hard for the development and growth of Bailang City. The civil and military officials guarding Bailang City did not disappoint him. Tian Yu and other officials have managed the three cities in an orderly manner and flourished; Taishici, Guan Hai, Xiahou Lan, Pei Yuanshao, Tangnu, Wuzhu and other generals were trained to scream. As the two chief officers of the army's logistics equipment: Ma Jun and Meng Yuan, they did not disappoint their city guard.

Ma Jun has successfully turned the eccentric crossbow drawings given to him by Ma Han that year into real weapons and batches of equipment.

The new crossbow that uses an eccentric wheel pull rod to wind the strings is available in two specifications: step crossbow and riding crossbow. The step crossbow arms are two and a half feet long and crossbow bows are two feet long. They are made of duplicate strings. Two sets of bronze pulley sets are installed on both sides of the crossbow arms, copper pull rods, and copper rings at the front end. When firing, first step on the copper ring with your feet, hold the crossbow support in one hand, form two points to fix it, and the other hand exerts force on the plate-moving pull rod, rotate it back 60 degrees to complete the winding. Then place arrows in the arrow groove, aim, and move the hanging knife on the plate to complete the firing.

The whole movement is simple and bright, and the force required is similar to pulling a stone bow at a time. The time required for this series of actions is equivalent to shooting two bows and arrows. This speed is quite impressive. At this time, the shooting rate of the crossbow and the waist-length crossbow is basically one to four. In other words, the archer shoots four arrows, and the crossbow shoots one arrow only. Moreover, as time goes by, the crossbow that consumes a lot of physical strength will be slower and slower.

The new type of crossbow in Bailang Camp has far exceeded the rate and sustainability of the fire of the same period and the waist-length crossbow, and is even one point faster than the qian Zhang crossbow. The rate of fire and labor-saving performance are superior, so what about the range?

Because of the extremely strong cross-mesh compound string device, the crossbow bow was shortened by half (the waist-tension crossbow of the same period, and the crossbow bow was as long as four feet long), with pulleys saving effort, the firing rate increased by three times, and the range was almost the same. The strongest crossbow in the Han Dynasty was the Great Yellow Power Crossbow, which could be inserted into stones for a hundred steps, with an effective range of 300 steps, and the bow force reached a huge size of ten stones, which could not be used by non-Tiger Bends. The effective range of the new crossbow is 250 steps, which can be used by any ordinary soldier.

After Ma Han tested it, he praised it very much and named it the Tiger Shooting Crossbow with the allusion of Han Fei's shooting of Li Guang into the stone.

The advantage of shooting a tiger crossbow is so obvious that even close-fitting players like Le Jin want to bring one with them.

A powerful crossbow soldiers who can defeat all defenses and an axe and hammer soldiers who can withstand all attacks. With such a perfect combination of spears and shields, just imagine how Lejin is not full of confidence. If these two troops were not alone in one team and too few, Lejin might have the crazy idea of ​​annihilation of his opponent.

Of course, no matter how strong the weapon is, it is still a dead object, and the decisive factor of war is still human. Faced with such an advantageous enemy, the White Wolf Infantry will perform, which depends on how much they can perform in their daily training and the command of the famous general Le Jin.
