It is said that the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou in the war, and he was unable to support it, and he almost wanted to be defeated. At this time, the Nine Heavens Xuannu went down to help and awarded the Yellow Emperor the Tianyi Dunjia Array. With the help of this, the Yellow Emperor practiced day and night, and finally broke Chiyou and obtained the right to rule the Central Plains.

This is the first time in Chinese history that the concept of the so-called "array" has appeared.

After that, until King Wu fell, "Zhou Shi 350 times, Chen Yu Muye", the so-called "Chen" here, that is, "array", "Chen Muye" is in Muye, waiting for the Shang Dynasty army. It can be seen that in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the concept of "formation" has been known in the streets.

The emergence of the formation is also a sign of the transition from slavery military warfare to feudal military warfare in ancient society. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, the etiquette has not collapsed, the countries have attacked, and they also pay attention to the battle in formation, the most famous is the story of "Song Xianggong defeated Hongshui". Although Song Xianggong, who had to wait for the powerful Chu army to cross the river before attacking, was called a "stupid pig-like teacher of benevolence and righteousness", this also indirectly reflected that in the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries still kept the Zhou rites, which also shows that at that time, the concept of formation had begun to take shape.

In fact, the so-called troop formation is to arrange and combine the soldiers in the hands through a series of arrangements and combinations, so as to maximize their role and reduce our losses. It is not a single arm that is a combination of formations, but more of a multi-arm cooperation.

Of course, the formation of a single arm is not nothing, such as the cloud array, which is dominated by archers, arranged into a column with twists and turns, to carry out a hierarchical arrow rain attack on the enemy, so that all archers' attacks will not stop, maximize the lethality effect of arrow rain, it can be seen that the battle array is universal in ancient military wars, especially before the emergence of hot weapons.

Therefore, when faced with Lou's annoying attack, Li Zhuo did not hesitate to set up a six-flower array.

As mentioned above, the Six Flowers Formation is a formation deduced by Li Yan according to the characteristics of the Hu people, and its actual role is still required to be attacked by multiple arms in order to give full play to the greatest advantages of the formation. However, even if it appears as a single class of cavalry, the power is very amazing.

Li Zhuo ordered the flag to wave, the six flower array changed into a sharp formation, and suddenly, the surrounding cavalry took the Chinese army led by Li Zhuo as the main formation, and was divided into one of the six flowers, not only that, but the petals of the other six flowers were also arranged in the six flower array. The difference is that the small array of each petal is different.

The Liuhua Array takes the Chinese army as the "Xin Formation", which is responsible for commanding the operation of the whole array, and the "Geng" Array is the ranger formation, which is responsible for flexible and mobile strategies for other small formations and helps them at any time; The remaining six formations, named after A, B, C, D, and Wuji, were responsible for the enemy forces in six directions.

Specific to different tasks, the arrangement of troops is different. For example, at this moment, although Li Zhuo is in a sharp formation, according to the different beats of the war drums, the six teams of the first formation in front of him are arranged in a conical shape, and the own formation on his left and the second formation on the right are also arranged in a conical shape.

The six teams directly behind set up a square formation to prevent the opponent from attacking from the rear. The petals on both sides of the central army formation are arranged in a vertical formation to strengthen the defensive work of their left and right flanks.

It was to operate in the whole formation, with nearly 180 people from the three armies in front of them as arrows, and fiercely wedged into the enemy's infantry phalanx. Just like a flying arrow meets a cavalryman, a cavalryman who is born with a sense of impact meets an infantry phalanx that has been born at the same time since the birth of war.

I saw that the cavalry of Zhao State, with one hundred and eighty people as the arrow, held a halberd, in the face of the fierce Lou Fu warriors, there was no fear at all, and the head was a halberd to stab, because it was condescending, the deterrent effect of the rapidly impacting horses on the infantry phalanx, so that these infantry subconsciously raised their shields first, ready to defend, and the cavalry was looking at this opportunity, sending the halberd out, piercing into the head of the infantry's weak defense.

It is precisely this psychological advantage that makes the restraint of these two arms change, and the cavalry uses the impact of horses and the sharp tip of the halberd to accurately deliver the scythe of death to the front of the Lou Fu infantry. In particular, the first three formations, which were used as offensive arrows, quickly carved through the opponent's formation and tore apart the phalanx of the Loufu infantry.

At this moment, Li Zhuoling's flag waved, the snare drum beat became more urgent, and the Liuhua army formation, which had just broken away from the Loufu infantry phalanx, changed again, and the C formation and the Xu formation that defended the left and right flanks just now changed into cones, only the Ding formation did not change. This time, Li Zhuo commanded the armor formation to attack around the edge of the infantry formation, and with the help of the impact of the cavalry on both wings, he fiercely crushed the infantry formation of Lou Fu, so that Lou Fu was overwhelmed.

At this moment, the power of the military formation was completely displayed, especially against troops like Xiang Hu who did not like to use military formations, and only had phalanx and circle formations, the effect was particularly obvious. If it is said that Zhao Guo's military formation has developed to a mature stage, then Lou is annoying, at most he is still just getting started.

Under the leadership of Li Zhuo, Zhao Jun relied on the mobility and variability of the Six Flowers Array, and soon smashed the formation of the Lou Fu Army, and there was no power to fight back. However, in the same way, the Zhao army also had more than a dozen casualties, but compared to the rout of the Lou Fu infantry phalanx, this casualty was relatively small.

"King, the rout of our front army is almost a certainty, do you want to let the cavalry come forward to respond?" Although many of these infantry are slave soldiers composed of slaves, none of them have served slaves these years, and they are really not used to it. Thinking of their own good life, some generals began to suggest reinforcements.

"Well, order the cavalry on the left and right flanks to attack the Zhao army, and teach this Zhao army a hard lesson." Lou Yuan watched his efforts continue to be destroyed by Li Zhuo, and he was also a little angry in his heart, his own mind was known, watching his slaves die one by one, he was also like being robbed of money by Li Zhuo, and he couldn't wait to immediately capture Li Zhuo and these people as slaves. It was to make the cavalry phalanx, which was about 600 on the left and right flanks, roaring towards Li Zhuo's phalanx.

When Li Zhuo first started fighting, he was still a little nervous, and he looked a little immature when he commanded the battle and led the army to charge and kill, if these cavalry, if Li Yan had not personally trained them, and they were usually extremely proficient in the Liuhua Formation, I am afraid that Li Zhuo would have already thrown himself into disarray, not to mention the collapse of the Lou Fu soldiers.

Perhaps because he was born with a belligerent factor, the current Li Zhuo began to gradually progress to that kind of mysterious realm, and commanded the Six Flowers Array like a fish in water, except for a little jerky, it actually made everyone feel that his conducting art was superb.

There are five basic formations in the six-flower array, and according to the different terrain and combat requirements, each basic formation has five kinds of changes, or square or circle, or curved or straight, and twenty-five kinds of changes are implemented by the camera, which is endlessly useful. It was with the skillful cooperation of the soldiers that Li Zhuo made up for the jerkiness of his command, and if it was arranged by his brother, his advantages would be even more obvious. It can be seen that the current Li Zhuo, that is, a centurion, his next goal should be to command a thousand-man team.

Gossip Hugh, the two wings of the cavalry of the Lou Fu soldiers, like clouds covering the sky, quickly attacked Li Zhuo and others who had just broken away from the infantry phalanx, Li Zhuo hurriedly responded to the battle, and was caught off guard in the face of the sudden Lou Fu cavalry, as a result, the opponent attacked while shooting arrows, which did not affect the impact at all, and the striker hit the Ding formation who wanted to break away from the Lou Fu attack. The knights of the Zhao army and the cavalry of the Lou Fu finally made the first contact, and as a result, the Zhao army was attacked because it was a weak defensive flank, and thirty or forty people were shot down from their horses at one time.

Li Zhuo led the cavalry phalanx to speed away to prevent the enemy from crushing him. In fact, he really thought too much, and when facing a cavalry phalanx several times his size, attacking or defending with an upright division was the most defeat. Because of the numerical inferiority, you can't withstand such a crush at all, so you can only avoid its edge, look for the opponent's weak point, and then use your mobility to fight flexibly.

However, Li Zhuo is not Li Yan, and it is not yesterday. Yesterday, Li Yan used the method of squad attack to flexibly intersperse the opponent's cavalry brigade, and in the face of the number of enemies of one to five, Li Yan commanded Ruo Ding, and achieved more victory with less in a small and fast way.

And Li Zhuo is a fledgling, and it is really a bit difficult to command 300 people, not to mention that in the face of a cavalry team of 900 people, the cavalry of 300 people is not a small fish, and it will definitely not be easy to realize the intention of interspersing and cutting. Since the Lou Fu cavalry joined the battlefield, the situation of the entire battlefield has changed, and the Zhao army, which was originally a little inferior in numbers, began to be a little powerless in the face of the fierce and brave Lou Fu cavalry with superb riding skills. In particular, these soldiers are more numerous.

Most of the attacks of the Lou Fu soldiers were based on bows and arrows, supplemented by short swords and copper-tipped hammers. The so-called short sword, which is no more than two feet long (about 20 centimeters in the Zhou Dynasty), has blades on both sides, and in the face of the long halberd of the Zhao army, it can be more flexible to attack quickly and change moves quickly. The copper-headed hammer is actually a short-handled weapon wrapped in a round bronze weapon, and when used, with the help of arm strength, it directly hits the enemy's vital parts, especially the head and joints, causing the enemy to be killed directly or disabled. It is because this weapon is very ferocious, and the building is annoying, tall and mighty, and often fights with lions and tigers, and it is to use this kind of violent weapon with great lethality, but it is handy.

The success of the Lou Fu cavalry was a disaster for the Zhao army. Especially in the lack of suitable pit stop weapons, the halberd just now lost its advantage in this kind of entry battle. Lou annoys people swing their swords to attack, Zhao people can only hurriedly block, Lou annoying people quickly put away their swords again, once Zhao Jun reacts too slowly, he will be hurt by the enemy's second attack.

With this tea kung fu, the cavalry of the Zhao army, who had just returned to Yu Xuan Ang and looked at all living beings, was beaten by the Lou Fu cavalry in an instant, and was so embarrassed that they almost couldn't even suppress the formation. The hastily arranged circular formation, also because of the death of the comrades, there was a huge gap, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense, not to mention that Lou was annoying, agile and agile, and his riding skills were exquisite, and his turning speed was obviously faster than that of the Zhao army, so that the entire Zhao army was scattered into small squares and gradually eaten up by the enemy.

Li Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat, looked around, and suddenly realized the true meaning of Sun Tzu's words: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored."

He must now find a way to break free from the annoying siege and division of Lou, otherwise, his life and youth will be buried here.

What to do? On Li Zhuo's face, sweat mixed with blood, instantly flooded his eyes.
