"At the end of the parade, the battalions will rest for half a day, and the people shall not be disturbed, and the commanders of the battalions will hold a meeting in the tent. ”

After Lin Nan gave the order, all the battalions returned to their camps, and the onlookers gradually dispersed reluctantly.

Sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lin Nan glanced at the people in the camp and said in a deep voice: "Today's military parade, what do you think is wrong?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he said in frustration: "My lord, judging from the situation of today's military parade, there is no problem with the queue of soldiers in each battalion, but this tactical tactic does not seem to be proficient. ”

After the frustration was finished, everyone nodded yes.

Lin Nandao: "What Zizheng said is very true, the soldiers of each battalion are not familiar with the method of battle formation. However, this should not be the responsibility of the soldiers, but the responsibility of the generals of the battalions. ”

Seeing that all the generals had shame on their faces, Lin Nan said: "Of course, in a certain way, after all, we formed the army late, and the training time is also very short, only nearly a month, so I think it is already good to achieve such results."

As for the formation, I have talked to you many times, I have also talked about it at the military academy, and we have practiced it many times, but it is still jerky, which may be the lack of actual combat test. And there are only nine formations we have learned, six of the most basic and three of which are slightly more complicated, I think you should all remember it. ”

After a pause, Lin Nan continued: "Maybe you will think that it is useless to learn these formations, because you are all super-first-class masters and all enemies, but what I want to tell you is that war is not a person's business, and one person cannot control war, no matter how high his martial arts are."

Therefore, as a general, you must not only be able to charge into battle, cut the general and capture the flag, but also be able to strategize in front of the battle and command if you are determined. Make dashing an art. Let the battlefield be your paradise, this is the way to go.

Today, you are only leading a battalion of soldiers, and there are only a few hundred men. Judging from today's military parade, it seems that you are not easy, so if you command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, or tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, then how should you be good?"

Lin Nan's words had just finished speaking. Tai Shici knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with a red face: "Big brother, you don't need to say it, the eldest brother has good intentions, we all know that we are wrong, please ask the eldest brother to punish him." ”

Before Tai Shici's words fell, all the generals also knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please punish the lord (eldest brother)." ”

Seeing that the generals finally understood their intentions, Lin Nan said: "Let's get up first, and we'll talk about the punishment later." ”

After the congregation gets up. Lin Nan said again: "Punishment is necessary, but if you want to punish, you must first punish me, if the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy." ”

After a slight pause, Lin Nan continued: "Ziyi, you know all the six basic formations, you can explain it to everyone now." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this. Tai Shi Ci was slightly stunned, but then he got up and said, "The six basic formations are the Yuli Formation, the Xuanhuang Formation, the Hook Formation, the Cone Formation, the Sharp Arrow Formation, and the Fish Scale Formation.

The Yuli Formation is the most basic formation. It is the basis for changing formations. That is, the soldiers of each battalion form a formation according to the pattern of Yuli, the left and right rush forward, the middle strategy, the back responds, the battalions are connected, and the links are interlocking. This formation is suitable for multi-arm coordinated operations. For Jin Wengong's victory over Chu Ziyu's formation.

The Xuanhuang Formation is a broken formation, with two or three battalions of soldiers in the center and the rest of the battalions on the left and right wings. The troops in front can attack or defend, attack and rush into battle, the left and right wings echo it, the code lures the enemy, and the left and right wings encircle and annihilate it. In the same way, the troops on the left and right flanks can also attack and defend, and can go up or down. Therefore, the formation of the Xuanhuang Array is the most flexible and changeable, and if the soldiers in front of the sudden retreat to the end of the soldiers on both wings, it is a hook formation.

The hook formation is changed from the Xuanhuang formation, which is the formation of the defensive formation. That is, the soldiers on the two wings rush forward, and the soldiers in the center are behind, so the hook formation is more like an open pocket, and whoever enters the formation will take whomever he wants.

The cone-shaped formation is a charging formation, that is, the soldiers of each battalion are arranged in a cone-shape, responding to each other, interconnected, and all of them must clash in one direction. However, the cone formation will injure the three top soldiers, so the soldiers in the center need to make up for it.

The above three formations are also suitable for multi-arm coordinated operations.

The Arrow Formation is a cavalry formation, shaped like a sharp arrow, which is conducive to conflict, and the Fish Scale Formation is an infantry formation, which resembles fish scales, which is conducive to hand-to-hand combat.

The above six formations are the most basic battle formation methods. ”

After Tai Shici finished speaking, he looked at Lin Nan with nervous eyes, and he didn't know if what he said was right, because some of the content was really hard to remember.

After listening to Tai Shici, Lin Nan nodded and said: "You remember well, it's roughly the same, but it's a pity that you only know the surface, not the inside." ”

Immediately, Lin Nan said again: "Zilong, you can tell everyone about the upgraded three formations." ”

So, Zhao Yun got up and said: "Upgrade the three formations, for the one-word long snake formation, the two dragons out of the water array and the three-talent five-square formation."

The long snake formation is a marching formation, its shape is like a long snake, the head is the tail to, the tail is the first to, and the hit is the head and the tail are the first to the end.

The two dragons out of the water array are the battle array, and they are also the battle array. When the commander goes out of battle, he must be escorted by two teams of soldiers, and his appearance is like two giant dragons swimming out of the water. At the same time, it can also be a surprise array, two dragons, and strange soldiers.

These two formations are also regular formations, but they are actually no more complicated than the six basic formations.

The method of the three talents and five squares is very mysterious, and the three talents are walked inside, and the five directions are presented outside, which is a trap. ”

After speaking, Zhao Yun also looked up at Lin Nan, because he didn't have any confidence.

Lin Nan looked at the generals and said, "Is there anyone else to add?"

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads, Lin Nan knew that no one would add to him.

Helpless, Lin Nan sighed and said: "Such a battle formation is already extremely simple, only the three talents and five phalanxes are slightly difficult to understand, but it is just the beginning."

What I have learned in my life is a total of 19 kinds of formations, of which there are 8 types of constant formations, 8 types of trapped formations, and three types of absolute formations.

Changzhen, you've all seen it. And the trapping formation, in addition to the three talents and five phalanxes that Zilong just said, there are seven kinds. That is: the four-sided flowing fire array, the five-element gossip array, the six-out snowflake array, the seven-star Beidou array, the eight-door golden lock array, the ninety-nine return array, and the ten-indestructible array.

And the three kinds of absolute formations are the heavenly absolute formation, the earth absolute formation, and the human absolute formation.

Our teacher once said below: Those who are in the constant formation are also the foundation of the battle array; those who are trapped in the battle will be difficult to return to if they are trapped in the array, and they should be the essence of the battle array; and those who are in the battle will die if they enter the battle.

I have studied for several years, and I have been quite proficient in the constant formation and the trap formation, and I have some understanding. As for the three absolute formations, they have never entered their doors. That's why I asked you to practice the formation to help Nanjie solve the three absolute formations. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, the generals' heads lowered even deeper.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very dull, Lin Nan said again: "Sun Tzu said: 'Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Such a formation is just some basic rules and regulations, and the real confrontation between the two armies is varied, although Nan has not really been on the battlefield. Therefore, our plan for the present day is to do our best to practice the formation skillfully, and all kinds of command flags, drums, and horns should also be familiar to the middle and lower officers of each battalion, so that we will be able to command more easily.

At the same time, we try our best to achieve the effect of command at all levels, that is, the battalion commander commands the company commander, the company commander commands the platoon commander, and the platoon commander commands the squad leader, and the squad leader directly faces the soldiers. As a general, if you want to directly command the soldiers, then you, the general, can't bring a few soldiers. Therefore, learning to command and dispatch your soldiers is your first task now.

In a few days, I will compile all kinds of formations, as well as the coordination between various branches of the army, as well as all kinds of flags, drums, and horns, and let you have a copy of them, so that you can familiarize yourself with the methods of training and governing the army. ”

Glancing at the people in the camp again, Lin Nan said, "Do you have any questions?"

Jia Xu said: "Lord, with only the thousands of people we have now, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Huns, so, in a few days, when the city construction work of Jinyang is completed, should we let the people train with us?"

Lin Nan nodded and said: "That's right, when the construction of Jinyang City is completed, we will immediately train the people, and we will also practice the law of defending the city, we are running out of time." Therefore, the burden on your shoulders is not light. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Nan announced the dismissal of the meeting, and everyone went to work.

A few days later, Lin Nan sent a pamphlet to each of the ministers of the Military Affairs Yuan, called "The Law of the Battle Formation", and marked it with the words top secret, prohibiting reprinting and copying. At the same time, Lin Nan also compiled the book "Military Orders" to explain all kinds of order flags, drums, and various orders represented by horns, so as to facilitate the command of the generals.

In this way, a new round of military training in Jinyang began again.

And Lin Nan has been in Jinyang for more than a month, and Cai Yan finally received Lin Nan's second letter.

In fact, as soon as he arrived in Jinyang, Lin Nan hurriedly wrote a letter to Cai Yan, because Lin Nan knew that sometimes distance arises, and beauty will become thin because of this. Therefore, it is necessary to keep in touch with each other, and you must not let your backyard catch fire. And Lin Nan's calligraphy is really untouchable, so the content of each letter is very simple.

The first letter was nothing more than a few words of consolation, such as "safe entry and merger, every qiē is good" and so on. At the same time, I also greeted Cai Yong and Chaozhong shì by the way. Of course, Lin Nan did not sue Cai Yan for the dilapidated status quo of Jinyang, because, for fear that Cai Yan would worry, it was not the husband's work to let a woman worry about herself.

After receiving Lin Nan's letter, Cai Yan immediately replied to Lin Nan. Although there is a sense of longing, every sentence is a word of exhortation, which makes Lin Nan very helpless. So, Lin Nan's second letter began to get straight to the point.

And more than a month after Lin Nan left Luoyang, Cai Yan finally waited for Lin Nan's second letter.

Cai Yan unfolded it, but it was a seven-character poem:

Huai Yan'er is an occasional one

Dozens of days of parting, the heart has been a thousand years.

Siqing has a vast night, and the future is busy.

No one asks if your hands are cold, and you can't sleep.

I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles of Gong Chanjuan.

As soon as she saw this poem, Cai Yan's tears poured out, and Lin Nan's chic and dignified image appeared in front of her eyes, and the bits and pieces of laughter and laughter in the past also appeared in Cai Yan's mind, so Cai Yan wrote two sentences of eternal infatuation. (To be continued.) )
