After making up his mind, Zhang Wei took three steps and made two steps, and rushed to the school field. When I arrived, I saw that a huge bonfire had already been lit inside and outside the school yard, which slightly dispelled the darkness around me.

On the playground, 800 soldiers barely stood in a queue, but the queue was sparse, not like a team ready to go to the battlefield to fight, but more like a group of improvised rabble.

He was even more anxious, and secretly said: "Right now, the lights are dark, and the faces are almost unrecognizable, Hugh said that there are eight hundred people here, even if there are only four hundred, it is difficult to know all of them overnight......"

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw Jiang Wei on the stage beckoning to him.

Zhang Wei then put away his nervous thoughts, stepped forward, and stood behind the main general with Huo Yi, Zhao Guang, and Jiang Wen.

Seeing that the generals were in place, Jiang Wei took a step forward at the moment, sank his dantian, and said loudly with his fists to the audience:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this general Jiang Wei, the word Boyo, is the main general here......"

Pointing to the generals behind him, he introduced them in turn:

"This is the right governor Zhang Wei...... This is Zhao Guang, the acting governor of the central government...... This is Huo Yi of the military secretary...... This is Jiang Wen, the commander of the guards, you must all remember it. ”

Every time he reports the name of a general, the general is a step forward, and it can be regarded as revealing his identity. The soldiers in the audience only stared with wide eyes, and did not dare to respond half a sentence.

Jiang Wei didn't care, and said: "From today onwards, we will train together, kill the enemy together, although we are the master and slave on the face, we should really be brothers and sisters, and from then on, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will break together, and enjoy the glory and wealth together, you say that it is not good!" ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

His words were simple and easy to understand, and the audience immediately cheered.

Jiang Wei let the cheers continue for a while, and when the momentum gradually subsided, he suddenly took another step forward and said loudly again:

"In ancient times, there was a merchant named Lü Buwei who said an idiom called Gangju Muzhang, which means that when you lift the big rope in the middle of the fishing net, all the mesh will be opened, and the fishing net can be launched into the water to catch fish. In the same way, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle—"

"Brothers, although there are only 800 people in the camp now, in time there will be thousands of robes to join, and when the time comes, how can we rely on a few of our generals to command so many soldiers? Therefore, in the future, it is inevitable to rely on all kinds of regulations, and the rules must rely on people to supervise and enforce them......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Wei paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "Brothers, I will give you half an hour, with twelve people as one, to find a queue by yourself." ”

As his order fell, the soldiers on the field immediately began to look left and right, scattering in all directions, and the playground suddenly became bustling and chaotic.

Zhang Wei was shocked, and stepped forward to admonish: "Please think twice, let the soldiers restrain themselves, they will inevitably find neighbor partners, although the establishment is fast, but it is easy to hold together after that, which is not conducive to control!" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "The method needs to be adapted to local conditions, and the army should also be taught according to aptitude. But at present, these soldiers are farmers, and only by being surrounded by familiar neighbors can they abandon suspicion and concentrate on the enemy, and it is not all bad to be in a group at this time......

After a pause, he said: "What's more, they don't know anything about military affairs, and their selfishness can be restrained by strict military law, so Boqi doesn't have to worry." ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, he felt that there was some truth in his intuition, and seeing him looking so confident, he had to retreat with his fists at the moment.

At this time, Huo Yi suddenly asked:

"Our dynasty implements a two-five system, with five people for each army and a military chief, two for each army, and ten people for each tithe...... Why did the general break the old routine and take twelve people into one? ”

Jiang Wei smiled on his face, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Naturally, we are organizing an army to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. But looking around Yizhou, what are the achievements? Ladies and gentlemen, the west of Yizhou is the old land of Qiangyi, the court appeased, and the rebellion is disappearing, which is not a place to use; It borders Sun Quan to the east, and now that there is a truce, there will be no major war; To the north is the leader of Cao Wei, as a Hanchen, I don't want to go on an early Northern Expedition to overcome the Central Plains, but Cao Wei is powerful, Yizhou has no preparation for a year and a half, and there is no hope of the Northern Expedition at all; So, the real place to use it now is the south! ”

Huo Yi said thoughtfully: "But Nanzhong? ”

"Not bad! If it is not suppressed before the Northern Expedition, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be stabbed at the critical moment of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the first battle after we became an army is very likely to be in Nanzhong! ”

"What does that have to do with setting up twelve people?"

Jiang Wei smiled: "All the people present are brothers, and I won't hide it from you......"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and patiently explained:

"To build a strong army, you need at least two essential conditions. The first is the excellent quality of the soldiers, and the second is the rational tactical ...... The terrain in Nanzhong is mountainous, and the paths are rugged and narrow, which does not allow the army to set up a position at all, and most of them are mainly encounters; Secondly, Nan is brave in nature, but the military revolution is unfavorable, focusing on hand-to-hand combat, and the long-range attack ability is extremely poor......"

However, it was the first time that the generals had heard the details of Nanzhong, which was related to the next battle, so they approached one after another, and they all showed a look of being engrossed in listening attentively.

Jiang Wei concentrated and explained carefully.

“…… Our army can adopt a highly targeted battle formation to confront them according to the characteristics of the southerners' operations and in light of the actual terrain of the southern-central region, so that it can be invincible. For this reason, Ben Jiang rummaged through the old things of ancient and modern famous generals, and finally realized that there was a general surnamed Qi, which coincided with the thoughts of Ben General. ”

"Oh? Please also ask the general to elaborate! Zhang Wei suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

Jiang Wei pointed to the sand table in front of him and beckoned, "Come with me." ”

In front of the sand table of the brisk walkway, while paddling through the flat sand with his hands, he explained:

"This formation is a team of 12 people, and the first two people hold a long card and a rattan card to cover the rear team. The long player blocks the arrows and spears of the southerners, and the rattan player has a javelin and waist knife, and in addition to covering, he can also fight the enemy in close combat......"

"Then the two of them are wolf wrestlers, and they hold the wolf whizzes ......"

Zhang Wei was confused and interjected: "What is a wolf?" ”

"The wolf is made by using the bamboo grown in the south, and it is made of its old and solid, about one zhang long. The craftsman cut the end of the bamboo obliquely into a pointed shape, and left sharp branches around it, and the branches can also be inserted with iron blades, and it looks like it is full of thorns. The Wolf Warrior can use the blade at the front of the Wolf Whip to assassinate the enemy to cover the shield player's advance and the spearman's attack behind......"

"I see, it's really a weapon to block the enemy!"

Jiang Wei smiled and continued: "Then there are four spearmen with spears in their hands, two on the left and right, they are the main force in the team to kill the enemy, and they can also take care of the shield players and wolf players on the left and right sides in front of them......

"Then two short soldiers with boring palladium in hand served as guards and supporters. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short men rush forward with short knives and slash the enemy......"

"There are two people at the end, one is a repeater, and the other is an auxiliary. The repeater holds a repeater...... The so-called repeater is a new weapon invented by the military division, under one blow, seven crossbows are fired in succession, and when the two armies are handed over, the crossbowman can provide accurate and continuous long-range strikes with the help of repeaters; The auxiliaries are equipped with shields and repeaters to protect the captain, and are responsible for loading the repeaters, so that the repeaters always have crossbows at their disposal......"

In this way, the division of labor of various weapons is clear, and as long as everyone is proficient in the operation of their own weapons, they can attack and defend both and effectively kill the enemy! If you move properly, you can wipe out the enemy with zero casualties, and it's not impossible! ”

When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other, and their hearts were full of ups and downs, and their excitement was indescribable.

They are all martial artists and have a certain understanding of the battle array, and after listening to Jiang Wei's introduction to the battle situation this time, almost all of them realized that this formation did have an overwhelming advantage over the army of the wealthy clan and the Yi people in Nanzhong.

Zhang Wei was quite skeptical about Jiang Wei's ability to command the army before, but now after an introduction, it has been completely dispelled, and the only thing left is full of admiration.

Jiang Wei looked at everyone's shocked expressions in his eyes, and he was indescribably proud in his heart.

Just kidding, this is the first person in actual combat in the era of cold weapons, the famous Ming anti-Japanese general, and the national hero Qi Jiguang invented the mandarin duck array!

The hilly terrain of Jiangnan is somewhat similar to that of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the Japanese and Yi soldiers have little organization and discipline, and rely on a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

If a war really breaks out in Nanzhong, it will be more than enough to deal with the Yi soldiers with the Mandarin Duck Formation.

However, Jiang Wei did not copy it all, but appropriately improved it while absorbing its advantages.

For example, Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array has firearms soldiers, and now that it is the Three Kingdoms era, firearms are naturally not available; Because of this, he thought of using the Zhuge Repeater as a substitute.

Compared with firearms, the power of a single shot is certainly not as good as that of the latter, but it is better than seven shots of a crossbow, and after the two sides engaged, the distance between the front and back is only twenty paces, and it is within the effective range of the repeater.

He also set up auxiliary troops specifically for loading crossbows, which can be regarded as embedding the tactics of two-stage strikes into the mandarin duck array, if the crossbowmen and auxiliaries cooperate properly, they can continuously pour arrows and crossbows, causing continuous long-range strikes to the enemy, which can also be regarded as technological crushing.

In this way, it is bound to accelerate the collapse of the weakly equipped and poorly disciplined soldiers!

The evening breeze gusted, and the firelight was detached.

In the audience, the soldiers all looked for a good organization, and the noise gradually subsided; On the stage, the generals did not say a word, and each absorbed and comprehended.

After a long time, Huo Yi raised his eyes first, clenched his fists and asked:

"Dare to ask the general, what is the name of this formation? Who is General Qi who invented this array? Why have you never heard of it? ”

Jiang Wei smiled slightly and replied:

"This formation is flexible in change, can be attacked and defended, and can be changed into a horizontal formation, a formation into two small formations on the left and right, or two formations into a large formation according to the situation and operational needs...... Because of its variety, it is called 'Mandarin Duck Array'! ”

"As for General Qi, who invented this array, he was also a famous person, but the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, and General Qi's name has long been scattered with the wind, and I don't hear of it. Ben Jiang also inadvertently flipped through ancient books, and only then did he know about this formation, but as for his life deeds, he didn't find anything out. ”

"That's ...... so," the generals sighed when they heard it.
