Chapter 214: Talking Array
Ying Jieyan thought that His Royal Highness had won the support of the Tan people out of thin air, but Zhao Yu didn't think so, he thought that he was a cooperative relationship with the Tan people, and this relationship was more stable than Shenma's simple allegiance. He solved the status problem for the Tan people for thousands of years and provided them with new opportunities to earn a living. Then they work for themselves to protect their interests, because if he is finished, the consequence is likely to be the loss of his newly acquired status. Therefore, between them, there is a loss, a glory, and neither of them can do without the support of the other.
The words have been spoken, and Zhao Yu does not want to repay the debt, and everyone is at ease when it is implemented as soon as possible. So in the name of the Division, he ordered to inform the Divisions and the state capitals to let them choose a place to settle the Tan people, and open the bazaar to them and allow them to go to school. He also asked the Transshipment Department and the General Division to send personnel to negotiate with the Tan people to supply fresh fish to the army in order to solve the problem of insufficient meat in the army. At the same time, Zheng Yong arranged for the people of the Tan tribe to contact the corresponding departments as soon as possible, agree on the detailed rules, make preliminary preparations, and implement them as soon as there is a conclusion.
The humiliation of hundreds of years can be ended in his own hands, Zheng Yong is naturally more concerned, and asks people to send a letter to his father Zheng Fuweng, and explain what happened, know the stakes, and ask him to come back as soon as possible to preside over this matter. At the same time, in order to show the loyalty of the Tan tribe, after consulting with the elders of the clan, the tribesmen scattered throughout Qiongzhou were ordered to pay attention to the ships coming and going at sea, and immediately report to the nearest garrison or the government if they found the presence of enemy ships......
In the following two days, Zhao Hao traveled up the river by boat to inspect the topography, products and land development on both sides of the river, which delayed a lot of trips. On the third day, after a day's voyage, they entered the Wan'an Army, and the city of Wanzhou, where they were governed, was close to the shore, and the fleet docked at the dock and entered the city under the guidance of the local officials and Han Zhen, the commander of the right army.
Zhao Yu swallowed hard before he scolded, the army and the state are at the same level, and according to the current level, it can be regarded as a prefecture-level city, but the Wanzhou City in front of him is either a city wall wrapped in bricks or an earthen wall. The circumference of the city is only 100 zhang, converted into a metric system of about 300 meters, not as big as a standard playground in a modern school, and only one south city gate is opened, it is really small and pitiful! Even so, the city was built in the Daguan period, at first it was only an earthen city, and the bricks were only wrapped in the Shaoding period. But it is also one of the few cities on Hainan Island.
There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the right, and so many people can only stack them up when they live in it. Therefore, in the need of defense, but also to solve the problem of the placement of officers and soldiers, Han Zhen commanded the officers and soldiers to build an earthen wall more than a foot high outside the city, and Wanzhou City was like a sub-city. Although the city is small, it is a collection of the Yamen of Zhou County and the Yamen of the Right Army, and Zhao Yu naturally wants to live in the city when he comes.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning Zhao Yu was awakened by the drums of the generals, he was very strange that this Han Zhen did not invite him to review the three armies, is this kid afraid that he will see something wrong and dare not? How could Zhao Hao, who had something on his mind, still lie down, and immediately got up and went to the only commanding height in the city - the South Gate Tower.
"What do you think, sir?" Zhao Yu tiptoed to the city wall to look at the playground outside the city, only to see that the three armies were all in place, at this time the drums started again, the sergeants moved again, and he looked up and asked for the strictness.
"One drum gathers generals, and two drums each hold troops in place, and these three drums are about to be formed. Seeing that they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, they are still well-trained. Ying Jieyan said.
"Oh, really?" Zhao Yu is now seizing every opportunity to familiarize himself with the military, and now it is the first time that he has seen the scene of thousands of people practicing together, so how can he let it go. beckoned Ni Liang to hurry up and bring a chair for himself, of course, he was not tired and wanted to sit and watch, but he was too tired on tiptoe, and the chair was used as a cushion.
"Sir, is this a goose wing formation?" Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the general platform with a telescope, only to see Han Zhen waving different colors of order flags in his hand, and the soldiers ran accordingly to occupy the position. The sound of neat footsteps, the low roar of the reply order came and went, and in an instant, the formation had taken shape, and he thought for a while and asked.
"Well, what Your Highness said is right, this is the Wild Goose Wing Array." Ying Jie Yan said, "This formation seems to be attacked by the Chinese army and supplemented by the two wings, but in fact, once the enemy army shows defeat, the two wings can be opened to trap the enemy in the formation." ”
"Is this going to change formation?" As soon as the formation was formed, the drum beat changed again, and the flag on the platform danced, and the soldiers advanced and retreated, but seeing the shield soldiers moving forward and the crossbowmen behind, they retreated with swords after firing two rounds of arrows, and the gunners advanced forward. Zhao Hao asked again.
"Yes, this formation is called the Glaive, and it is named because it resembles a crescent moon." Ying Jieyan said, "In the Tang Dynasty, this formation often made a camping formation, and chose to set up the formation near the mountains and rivers. In the Han Dynasty, Han Xin used this array as a backwater array. When forced into danger by the enemy, and want to reverse the counterattack, often do this formation. But the generals in charge need to have a brave name and have rich experience in facing the enemy, otherwise they will not only not be able to retreat from the enemy, but will suffer from it! ”
"According to what Mr. said, this Han Zhen dares to practice the Glaive Array, he should have some ability!" Zhao Yu put down the binoculars and turned his head and asked.
"There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, the palace marshal is the best at training soldiers, and Han Zhen can be a commander under his command, of course, he has some skills." Ying Jie Yan praised, "Your Highness, please see that the advance and retreat of this army formation is not chaotic at all, the soldiers are all ordered to move, without the slightest drag, obviously they are already proficient, but this is also thanks to the work of Your Highness!" ”
"Is sir wrong? I don't know anything about the formation, so what does it have to do with me! "Zhao Yu is still self-aware, let himself command how not to say, it is true that he will die faster.
"How can there be no work without His Highness!" Ying Jieyan said, "At the beginning of His Royal Highness's reorganization of the army, he ordered all departments to strictly enforce military law, so that orders must be implemented, and no one dared to touch military law." Therefore, Han Zhencai dared to teach this formation, and the old man said that he was ingenious, but he was really good. ”
"Oh, then this glaive array can be attacked and defended, is there a way to see through it?" Zhao Yu thought about it, Lao Tzu has laid a good foundation, so you have to be cool for future generations, and he asked again with a beautiful heart.
"The battlefield layout is often adapted to local conditions and changes with the situation, so it is ever-changing. But there are traces. Roughly speaking, the circle formation is the defense, and the phalanx is the attack! Ying Jieyan knew that His Royal Highness had just entered the military, and even if he was smart, he could not understand everything, so he tried his best to explain it in concise and easy-to-understand language.
"Well, back then, Li Ling formed a circle formation with chariots and crossbows to resist the enemy, and that's it, but in the end, it was impossible to escape defeat, which shows that it is not easy to use." Zhao Yu pointed to the formation under his fingers and said.
"There is nothing in the world, and the same is true of the military array, this round array is the best choice to resist the enemy, but it is difficult to move, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy, but if you want to make good use of it, you can also hit the enemy army hard!" Ying Jieyan said...... (To be continued.) )
