Chapter 521 Qin Jun's Battlefield Communication Means
"kill!"
The scorching sun was in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of troops did not delay in the wilderness for long. Seeing that the Qin army's morale was getting higher and higher, the King of Chuang did not dare to wait any longer. After the promise was finished, he immediately drew out his long sword and yelled, and issued an order to attack.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong...
"Kill!"
In an instant, hundreds of cowhide drums behind the rebel army were pounding and hammered. More than 200,000 troops rushed forward like floods that broke through the dam.
Even the King of Chuang, who had always been pampered, has become the rebel king who once dominated the world again, and he personally rode on his horse and charged.
"Run for me!"
Hong Chengchou's actions were also not slow, and he ordered 100,000 traitors to kill him. As the saying goes, there are many people and are brave. Amid the shouts of the tsunami, everyone's minds are blank and they only know how to rush forward.
Originally, if you want to decide the outcome of this level, you will have to fight for a few days or even half a month at least. For the first time today, you must first send a small number of troops and constantly test it, rather than just like this, the whole army will charge forward and have no room for maneuver.
It’s not that Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou don’t know how to fight, but that neither of them are blind. The Qin army is disciplined and the army is in an orderly manner. If they fight step by step, they will really have no chance.
Every time the battle is last, morale will drop by 10%. Perhaps after several battles, the soldiers will completely lose their fighting spirit, so it is better to put the whole army on the ground from the beginning and make a concerted effort.
It has to be said that when the overall strength is not as good as the other party, especially the soldiers' fighting will, this kind of desperate choice is the most advantageous.
Qin Yu, who was not on the high platform, frowned slightly when he saw that the other party had killed him. He was obviously a little surprised and annoyed.
Although this kind of rushing up in a swarm is a manifestation of a mob, if his troops are far less than the opponent, they are naturally welcome to rush up. However, when both sides have equal strength and organizational strength, they are far stronger than the opponent, in fact, he is more willing to fight with the opponent.
That is, first send 10,000 or 20,000 troops to conduct a tentative battle, and then send reinforcements to the ground until it gets dark, and they will withdraw their troops and fight again tomorrow.
This not only reduces the casualties of both sides to the minimum, but also the rhythm of the entire battlefield can be under his control, preventing the opponent's cavalry from taking advantage of the troubled waters.
But unexpectedly, he had just planned to send two square formations to test, but the other party killed them all at once.
The degree of decisiveness is jaw-dropping.
Qin Yu also knew that Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou had mostly seen their own disadvantages and their advantages, so he wanted to make a concerted effort and decide the outcome in a short time.
After all, there is a distance between each of their square formations, and more than 300,000 people rushed up together, which may indeed disrupt their formation at once.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu also sneered. Today he wanted to let these guys see what is the difference between the mob and the real army.
So he drew his sword and roared: "Blow the trumpet! All towns defend on the spot!"
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
As the messenger waved the flag, the trumpet on the platform sounded with a unique rhythm.
Dozens of large horns on the small platforms on both sides also started to blow, and on the front line that was more than ten miles wide, there was a carriage almost every two hundred meters. There was not only a big drum, but also a horn, a flagpole, and flags of various colors.
At this moment, the horn hands on these carriages also sounded immediately.
Therefore, despite the sound of shouting and killing in the sky and the sound of enemy drums, the unique horns of the Qin army can still be clearly distinguished, and are particularly harsh, and quickly spread throughout the battlefield.
This kind of defensive sound is the basic battlefield order of the Qin army. Not to mention the generals and lieutenants of each town, even ordinary Qin soldiers can understand it. Therefore, the generals of each town and the commanders of each independent battalion issued defense orders as soon as possible.
There is also a small command system around the commanders of each town and battalion, consisting of war drums, gongs, horns and letter flags, which leads to a long sound of horns on the entire battlefield for a while.
Since the soldiers were already prepared, they responded as soon as the horns of each town and battalion sounded, and there was no need to do anything.
Because the towns were already close to the defensive formation, the four corners of the square formation contracted slightly, forming an arc.
The long spear soldiers and the long spear soldiers put down the vertical spears, while the sword and shield soldiers kept knocking on their shields to cheer. The archers bent their bows behind and pointed the arrows in a diagonal direction in front.
The ten independent battalions in the second echelon also made defensive postures, but since they were all long swords and weapons, they only symbolically placed the sword in front of them. Obviously, the Qin army's horn orders could not distinguish between towns and battalions.
But this doesn't matter much, just use a flag to make up for it.
A mile of land is neither long nor short. Almost in the fifteen towns of the Qin army, countless treacherous soldiers rushed up.
In fact, in the face of this situation, if the entire army is unable to receive the order to charge, the generals of each town will issue orders to defend themselves on the spot.
If a town needs to attack alone, it cannot play the trumpet or beat the drum. Instead, it must send a war horse communication force to convey specific military orders.
Of course, the Qin army also has a more efficient communication method, which is to use the letter flag. The commanders of each town and battalion had a flag-watching bearer holding a telescope, and always pay attention to whether the flags were raised on both sides of the military flag on the platform.
However, this kind of communication method sometimes has accidents, such as observing hands distracted or dust blocking vision, so it is a two-pronged approach. While striking the letter flag, it also sends horse-riding communication soldiers.
At this time, when the rebel army rushed up and killed fifteen military formations, and countless rebel army continued to rush forward along the gap between the military formations, two slightly smaller flags floated on the flagpoles on both sides of the military flag on the high platform.
On the left is a pattern with two crossed swords, which means attack. On the right is a number. Each town and battalion has an independent number. There is only one number on one flag, and there are several numbers at the same time, representing which battalion and which town should attack.
At this time, the numbers above are one to ten, which means that all ten independent battalions are attacking.
Of course, this digital code and the color of the flag are not fixed, but can be planned and adjusted in advance before the war.
For example, in this battle, Qin Yu divided all the armies into four echelons, so each color of flag can represent one echelon, and each echelon's independent combat unit has a number.
Generally, a flag of one color has only ten numbers at most. If the combat units of an echelon exceed ten, it will be divided into two and represented by two flags of different colors.
That is to say, the pattern on the flag on the left represents the intention, and the numbers on the flag on the right represent the troops executing.
