Chapter 216: Alternative

Of course, Zhao Yu knows that fighting a war is about strategy and tactics, strategy is the general direction, and tactics is on-the-spot command. The current formation transformation belongs to the tactical level, a military formation is composed of multiple phalanxes or circular formations, and then small formations are formed into a macroscopic large formation as needed. The soldiers fought in formations, and each soldier performed his own duties, some were responsible for attacking, some were responsible for defense, and mainly relied on the collective strength to exert the power of the entire military formation under the unified dispatch.

In his previous life, Zhao Yu debated with people on the Internet or through games, and came into contact with some knowledge of military formations, but it was either too abstract or too 'mysterious'. As a result, people often talk about the 'Ancient Formation' that they have dug up from nowhere, and how to create the desired environment is deliberately ignored, and only the problem is solved by using weather changes, flags to cover up, or burning smoke.

At the beginning, Zhao Yu would argue with these 'brain-dead' for a few words, because he felt that a military formation could easily tens of thousands of people, or more than hundreds of thousands, and these were all dispatched by banners, even if you could use those imaginary things to cover the battlefield, your own side would also fall into chaos. If you can't see the banner, you can't accept the general's order, either you don't dare to move, or you move randomly, but the result is the same. But he said that there are still golden drums that can pass on orders, but once the fight starts, the shouting and killing sound is shocking, and both sides are golden drums in unison, and you have to have real kung fu to accurately identify which side it is, and there is a fatal problem is that you can't see the command flag, how can the general see you?

After that, Zhao Yu didn't bother to deal with them, but he also had doubts about how this military formation worked, and he finally got a little understanding after seeing the real thing today. I feel even more unreliable that those fantasy statements are. And the single-rider battle that people often talk about is simply nonsense, your cow can dodge a gun or two guns that stab at you, and cut down ten or eight enemy soldiers, but dozens of guns instantly stab you together, I'm afraid that wearing titanium alloy armor can save your life, and it is estimated that it is still inevitable to **** to the ground......

"Sir, this is a retreat formation, right?" Zhao Yu was pondering what Ying Jieyan had just said, and at this time, the formation changed again.

"Yes, how can Your Highness see that?" Ying Jieyan nodded and said, thinking in his heart that this kid's brain is a good one, he has never learned the art of war in the past, and he only started from Jiazi Town from training and selecting generals. And this marching formation was only taught by himself after arriving in Qiongzhou, and he could actually see the clues.

"You see, sir, although they are still in a phalanx, their flanks have been strengthened, and each time they move, they are first tied up with shields, and the front row moves backwards, and this cycle is precisely for alternate cover, in case the enemy pursues." Zhao Yu said that he is not really a child, and he has also pondered these basic tactics, and now he is 'talking by looking at the picture', and there is no fuss when he guesses.

"Your Highness sees it very accurately, this is exactly the formation you need to use when retreating." Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and said, "This Korean commander is also a general, he can practice this formation so skillfully, there is no chaos between advance and retreat, if he goes into battle, he will not lose!" ”

"How does the gentleman know?" Zhao Hao was a little puzzled, the right army only practiced three common formations of attack, defense and retreat, but the old man concluded that Han Zhen had a talent, but he didn't know what he relied on.

"Your Highness can know that the two armies are facing each other, attacking and defending, but in fact, there are very few people who really die in them, and tens of thousands of people compete with each other but there are thousands of casualties. But once one side is at a disadvantage and has no will to fight, it will leave its post without permission and cause a rout. Often, a single defeat will cause the collapse of the great array. The rebel armies fought and fled, killed each other, and trampled on each other. And if the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill at this time, it will be crushed for hundreds of miles, with countless casualties, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to be annihilated! Ying Jieyan said.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Hao said, he understands this truth, and repeatedly emphasizes that military discipline is actually for this, but it is better to be modest in front of the teacher, "The so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, the whole army is scattered, the soldiers cannot find the general, and the soldiers will not be able to find the soldiers, so that they can no longer form a formation to resist the enemy, and can only be slaughtered by others." However, if the battle is lost, the formation is not dispersed, and the formation can be retreated, although the enemy wins, it cannot be broken the formation, it still cannot be called a big victory, and our side still has the strength to fight again. ”

That's exactly what happened. It is commendable that the generals can win in the confrontation between the two armies, but it is even more talented to be defeated without being defeated! Ying Jieyan said......

Zhao Hao is a little eye-opening today, it is said that the officials are visiting, the subordinates are warmly received, and the hospitality of good students is the right reason. But this Han Zhen didn't invite himself and Fu Shuai to watch the performance in the morning, and he should have come over to accompany the narration at dinner in the morning, this guy is here, and after seeing the ceremony, he didn't say much, and after snoring and pulling the meal, he put the rice grains that fell on the case into his mouth, and said that he couldn't accompany him in military affairs, leaving the deputy general patting his ass and leaving.

"Your Highness, Deputy Marshal, don't be surprised, the Han system has always been like this!" Wu Shiying, the deputy commander of the Right Army, saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, and said with a smile.

"Hee-hee, official business comes first, and it should be." Zhao Hao smiled, knocked on the rice bowl, pointed to the two plates of vegetables and a plate of dried fish on the table, "Lao Liu, your friendly army's small stove is not very good, you won't embezzle all the food money, right?" ”

According to the standard food expenses of the Shuaifu Army, each soldier has half a tael of oil, five yuan of salt, six yuan of meat, and one pound of vegetables every day. Officers of the first rank can enjoy the middle stove, and the vegetable fee is two and a half times; Commander-in-command officers can enjoy small stoves, and the cost of vegetables is three times; If the system is above the control, it will be four times and will not be increased. Zhao Yu is the head of the army, even if he does not specialize, he has to be supplied according to the standard of the system, but this breakfast cannot meet this standard.

"Your Highness, there is absolutely no embezzlement of military funds, and the Han Command has ordered the whole army to eat according to the standard of soldiers, and the rest of the food is added to it. The subordinates then ordered them to go down and let them prepare separately. Wu Shiying is also the first batch of old people to enter the mansion, and he is also familiar with His Royal Highness, he quickly explained.

"Lao Wu, you won't do it on purpose to show His Highness, open a small stove in private!" Standing aside, Wang De frowned and interjected and asked, Although it has not cost much money in Huitong County in the past two days, there is still seafood in Dundun which is also in the army and makes him not believe it.

"Wang Daguan, it has always been like this, and he has never made an exception, and the Han commander also eats with the soldiers in the big stove, and you can find out when you ask."

"Hehe, the officers and soldiers are equal, and the king is not easy to make an exception, so he will be exempted!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, Lao Wu is his own person, there is no need to lie to him, and he is also interested in this alternative...... (To be continued.) )
