Chapter 72 The Thief

"Person Chen, I'll trouble you next."

The situation is unclear, all Chen Guang could do was to hand over the command to the three old military academies, and Wang Shenyuan had already led the fang soldiers to protect him.

"Dropping off your horse and putting on your armor."

With Chen Mohe's shout, the men quickly got off the horses who were transporting for transportation and then went to the pack horses to get the armor. At this time, the veterans had already worn more than half of them, and helped each other tie belts and fix their breastplate and arms.

The silence and order of the veterans calmed down the messy men, and Chen Tieniu even said loudly, "Don't be messy, just pierce the armor as you usually practice."

Along the way, the men would learn how to wear armor quickly under the supervision of veterans every day. After calming down, although their speed was not as good as that of the veterans, they were not slow.

Chen Guang also put on his bright light armor, and the original gilded areas were painted with black paint. Although it looked not as gorgeous and majestic as before, it was a bit more hideous and terrifying.

At this time, some of the veterans who had ridden their horses came back to report, "Mr. Lang. There are caravans ahead of them being attacked by horse thieves. There are about five hundred thieves, and they are less than ten arrows away from us."

"Mr., can you save me?"

Chen Mohe gave the choice to Chen Guang. In Anxi, there were even more horse thieves and robbers. Those nomadic tribes that were nomadic in the wilderness might have been warm and hospitable at the last moment, but they could slash your face with a knife in the next moment.

"Save, we are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, how can we not save us when we die?"

Chen Guang did not hesitate at all. Five hundred bandit soldiers heard a lot of people, but Chen Moha said that the mobs would be defeated in one blow. He had more than 200 brave and strong Han'er and more than 200 veterans who killed people, all of whom were fully armored. If he did not dare to fight with those horse thieves, he would still want to beat up and punish Tubo.

"How to fight, Captain Chen."

Chen Guang looked at Chen Mohe with a look of eagerness. After so long he came to the Tang Dynasty, he could finally see what the war in the era of cold weapons looked like.

"How is the armed preparation of the bandits? What is the situation of the attacked caravan?"

Chen Mohe did not rush to issue orders, but continued to ask the veteran. Chen Guang's restless heart calmed down, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." This sentence is easy to know and it is difficult to do. If it were his words, maybe his mind just now had the veterans and the men rushed over, so how could he ask so carefully like Chen Mohe?"

"The bandits were all without armor, the bows and arrows were weak, the caravan was in chaos, and the guards were injured and fled, and they couldn't last long."

After hearing the reply, Chen Mohe looked at the more than 20 people in the veteran who were only wearing leather armor and said, "Wait for the caravan to come and retreat, don't fight."

"Here!"

More than twenty veterans agreed at the same time, then turned over and rolled towards the front.

Chen Guang was silently watching Chen Mohe set up the position, and saw that he first gathered the logistics supplies and pack horse slaves in the team, then surrounded the camels outside. Then the men stood in front of the armor and spears, and the veterans stood in the rear. As for the crows who rushed up from the rear of the team, they were arranged to stay by his side.

When he was at Gao Xianzhi's mansion, Chen Guang also passed over Li Weigong's military strategy and knew that the Tang army had extremely strict rules in combat, and the military formation and discipline were the most important. Therefore, in the time travel novels he read, what queue practice, standing military posture, etc. were placed in the Tang army, the most basic training.

The Han'er teams are in front, and the veterans are in the back. Only after the team fights can the garrison come forward.

Chen Guang could see that Chen Mohe did not strictly arrange the preset battlefield according to the Tang Dynasty military formation, but he knew that Prince Yue had a saying, "There is no constant shape of the soldier, and the water is no constant force, and the wonderful use is in one mind." If you follow the military book rigidly, you will easily make dogmatic mistakes.

"Mr., the bandits are armourless and the bows are weak, so we don't need to arrange crossbowmen and archers. First, these bandits are not worth wasting crossbows, and second, they are easy to scare them away."

After Chen Maha finished setting up, he talked about the way to set up the formation of the troops for Chen Guang in detail. "According to the Tang army formation, the crossbowmen should have been the first, followed by the archers, and then the spearmen. When the bandits attacked, the first drum sounded, the crossbowmen shot arrows when they were 130 steps away from the enemy, the second drum sounded, the archers shot arrows when they were 60 steps away from the enemy, the three drum sounded, the crossbowmen archers retreated, and the spearmen stepped forward to meet the enemy."

"However, this bandit soldiers have neither strong armor nor strong bows, which is most suitable for new recruits to try."

Chen Mohe looked up at the smoke and dust rising not far ahead, and his face was full of murderous aura. No matter how hard the men practiced on weekdays, they would not be as good as fighting with real swords and guns.

Chen Guang felt the earth trembling under his feet. At this time, he could already see the messy camels and pack horses of the caravan that fled in panic, while all the veterans who had left before returned.

The bandits chasing the caravan were already disconnected. When they saw the team suddenly appearing in front of them, they did not be vigilant because the team did not shoot any flags. Instead, the eye-catching camel wall made them more and more greedy.

The veterans who had attacked before were not too ruthless. They just took a quick round of bows and arrows and tore a hole from the encirclement of the bandits, allowing the remaining troops of the caravan to escape and retreat along with the veterans.

However, the escaped caravan obviously did not have the idea of ​​fighting side by side with Shen Guang and the others. Instead, he wanted to lead the pursuers over and take the opportunity to escape.

Although there is nothing wrong with the practice of dying fellow Taoists, Chen Guang is not the kind of Virgin who repays grievances with kindness. If the bandits had not come too fast, he would have wanted to cut off the caravan first.

More than a hundred cavalry soldiers rode their horses. Although their formation was sparse, the sound of horse hooves rolling in like thunder made Chen Guang's breathing quicker. He didn't know if the men could withstand the pressure of the cavalry charging.

Chen Mohe sneered. In this way, the storm formation was indeed a group of mobs. Although the bandits on the opposite side rushed to the ground with one arrow, they were not willing to shoot arrows. It was not until less than a hundred steps away that they shot an arrow on the horse's back.

From time to time, sparse feather arrows hit the bright light armor of the men, but few could pierce the gaps in the armor leaves. There was no one injured after a round of arrows.

Seeing the bandits' bows and arrows so powerful, the men who were already a little nervous were excited. At this time, Chen Tieniu, who was the leader of the team in the formation, shouted, "Hold the spear forward!"

Almost like a conditioned reflex, the men all rushed forward and ended their spears in a slanted manner, and immediately looked outward like an iron hedgehog.

The bandits who originally wanted to trample over the horses must not seize the reins desperately to prevent the frightened war horses from pushing them down, because the war horses would not foolishly hit the dense spears ahead.
