The one hundred and sixth formation

"Whew! Ha! Call! Ha! ”

With the waving of the yellow flag, all the soldiers below waved their weapons in their hands extremely neatly, and the Mo knife dance in the hands of the Mo knife team was full of tigers and tigers, or stabbing or chopping, which was daunting; The crossbow teams on both sides put down the heavy crossbows in their hands, pulled out the sharp blades at their waists, stabbed, blocked, and split, all in one go, rigorous and orderly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, this is only the most basic series of actions of the army, and if it is in the phalanx, it is still relatively strict against the enemy; But this is not enough if there is a short-handed hand, but all this can only depend on the individual qualities of the soldiers.

However, before Xun Gang could react, the order flag in Guo Jia's hand waved to the side again, like a new moon; Seeing this, the soldiers under his command suddenly took action. The Modao team formed a circle and gathered around the periphery; The Yuanrong crossbow serves as the second layer to ensure melee fire suppression; The god arm crossbow is the innermost layer, and it shoots at a 45-degree angle to the sky to hit the consumption.

There were also many small phalanxes in the formation, which were less mobile and only defended against attacks from all directions.

This is a square circle array, known as an extremely strong defensive shape; But Xun Gang felt that the strongest thing in the Modao team was the ability to assault and charge, not the so-called defensive lineup. But it is undeniable that defense is extremely important; Xun Gang regretted that he did not equip this army with shield soldiers, if the enemy surrounded the troops and fired arrows indiscriminately, he was afraid that this army would be completely annihilated.

But with 3,000 men and horses, if there are any more people holding shields, the real fighting strength will be much lower; I can only wait for the army to be recruited after the autumn harvest, and recruit more men and horses to expand the army.

The formation of the square circle is completed, and the high platform of the school field is surrounded in the middle; The soldiers around him were waiting for him, which made Xun Gang feel very secure.

This is a defensive situation.

Guo Jia waved the command flag in his hand again, and the square circle moved again; In just a moment, the square circle array turned into a square array. With the Mo knife in front and the bow and crossbow behind, the 1,500-strong bow and crossbow team looked up to the sky and feints, as if they were creating a good opportunity for the Mo knife team to charge; With a shout to the sky, the Mo Dao team rushed forward fearlessly and smashed the hundreds of scarecrows in front of them.

This is a matchup.

In a trance, Guo Jia waved the order flag at the high platform, chanting "snake" in his mouth, and the phalanx army gradually opened, surrounding the school field, like a dancing snake, spitting out letters, killing the enemy.

There are three variations in this array, which change when the enemy attacks the head, tail, and body, called rolling, biting, and twisting, like a spiritual snake lying in the mountains, killing its prey.

This is a long snake formation, mostly used for marching, if it is used for confrontation, as long as the enemy attacks from both sides, limiting the army's ability to move, then this army can not take care of each other, and will inevitably be broken by the enemy; However, if it is used for marching, this formation is extremely mobile, and other formations are difficult to compare.

Therefore, it is a marching situation.

The formation was over, but Guo Jia suddenly changed the order flag, replaced the yellow one with red, and shouted softly: "Feng!" ”

The change of formation did not catch the soldiers off guard, although it was more difficult for the Long Snake Formation to change formation, but the soldiers still changed extremely quickly; This array is like a walking arrow, standing the high platform where Xun Gang is located at the back. At the front of the arrow stood nearly a thousand Mo knife teams, ready to charge at any time, while the periphery of the arrow's body stood a circle of Mo knife team defense, but in the center was a bow and crossbow team waiting for them.

This is the edge of the array, as the name suggests, this array is for the purpose of charging, so it is a "breakthrough potential". The offensive nature of the Arrow Formation is weak, similar to the "Fish Scale Formation", and it is mainly used for single-point breakthroughs; If this is a cavalry unit, the maximum effectiveness of the Blade Array will be displayed. It can pierce the enemy's heart like a sharp knife, or it can change its wings and isolate the enemy from the outside.

But the weakest point of the arrow formation is the tail, and under normal circumstances, the main general is in the tail; Therefore, this formation is more risky, and you need to be especially cautious when using it from the enemy.

Xun Gang has already seen Guo Jia's four formations, namely "defensive potential", "opposing posture", "marching posture" and "breakthrough potential". These four formations seem very simple, but it is extremely difficult to change them properly. For example, a soldier needs several days of practice to remember where he is when he changes formation, while a 3,000-strong army has some poor memory, which will make the change of the whole army unstable; Remembering and reacting inappropriately, I'm afraid that a good change of formation will become a mess.

It's not easy to train like this in a month.

"I don't know what the military training in other counties will be like...... Xun Gang said to himself.

At this time, the red order flag in Guo Jia's hand was ready to start waving again, and Xun Gang thought to himself that it was not over yet!

The change of formation cannot be completed overnight, Xun Gang stopped Guo Jia and said, "Today is the case for the time being, let the soldiers rest for a while; Bonghyo, I have something to tell you. ”

Guo Jia understood, replaced the red order flag in his hand with a white order flag, and shouted: "Scatter!" ”

The soldiers shouted in unison, and they didn't disperse like the wind, but dispersed to both sides in a very orderly manner, with the Mo Dao team outside and the bow and crossbow team inside, which was completely a defensive formation!

Although it is taboo for soldiers to disperse their troops, if the enemy attacks from one side, the people on one side can react quickly, and even if they are defeated, the people on the other side can react quickly and hurriedly stand in formation. But if you encounter a flank attack from both sides, it is self-inflicted.

Standing and resting, it is better to have a square formation, and attacks from all directions can be blocked.

"Fengxiao, how many formations has the army learned? How accurate are the crossbow teams? How are the defects of the Modao team? ”

Xun Gang asked three questions in a row, and Guo Jia hurriedly responded: "My lord, at the beginning of the above four formations, the army has also learned the 'encirclement potential' crane wing formation, the 'suppression potential' goose-shaped formation and the 'fixed change potential' glaive formation. The five hundred crossbow soldiers selected by the bow team all wore through the yang in a hundred steps, and the strikes were accurate; Only the attack accuracy of Yuanrong's troops is changeable, and the subordinate officers must train more! ”

"As for the Modao team, Xia Guan once used ordinary troops of two to five people to compete with it, and the effect was more significant; However, if you encounter spearmen and Ge soldiers, you are afraid that you will fall into disadvantage because of the relatively short weapons, so you still need to train the agility of the Mo Dao team. In addition, our army has no horses, and we do not know the strength of the horses......"

Zhong Xun Gang nodded, all these reports always make people feel that their army is still quite ordinary, and only after battlefield training can they know the result. However, to Xun Gang's surprise, Guo Jia was able to teach the army the formation in such a short period of time, which was eye-catching.

"Feng Xiao, if you put me here;' Dreadnought' expands to 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, or even 100,000, how are you going to govern? Xun Gang asked again.

Guo Jia was a little embarrassed: "My lord, if there are 30,000 people, the lower officials can still govern, but when it reaches more than 30,000 people, it is difficult to change the formation, and it is difficult for the lower officials to control it; I only hate that the subordinate officials have the ambition of Han Xin, but they do not have the talent of Han Xin. ”

Hearing this, Xun Gang stroked his chin lightly and said in a low voice: "In this way, there is indeed no shortage of good governance people in our army, but there is a lack of great talent to manage the army......

"Shame on your subordinates!"

Xun Gang waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, not to mention that our army cannot reach 30,000 people for the time being." However, for the sake of today's plan, there is an urgent need for a large number of military management personnel...... Fengxiao, you can go to Yuan Zhi later and ask him to release the recruitment list. ”

"Recruiting list?"

Xun Gang nodded: "That's right, as long as you are talented, you don't have to study martial arts, and you will be brought to my state pastoral mansion to take the exam first...... However, there is no need for disloyalty, filial piety, and unrighteous people, after all, it was because there were too many disloyal and unrighteous people in the army before that I would be in such a situation. ”

"Subordinate Order!"

"Besides, can anyone in the army be punished now?"

Dian Wei on the side suddenly accosted: "Lord, our army wants to believe in clear rewards and punishments, as for the punishment, it is all the lord's ......"

Xun Gang's set refers to the condensation of the army, so that the soldiers in the army know that they are a whole; Penalties should be punished together, so that they do not dare to make mistakes. What push-ups, squats, duck steps and a lot of other things Xun Gang learned from the future, all used here.

Xun Gang nodded with satisfaction, and now it seems that the effect of handing over the army to these two people is quite good. Suddenly, Xun Gang remembered the formations of other countries and other periods that he had thought of before, and said, "Fengxiao, I have some new formations to tell you. ”

"New formation?" Guo Jia was a little surprised, you must know that the wisdom of many military masters in the ancient pre-Qin period was condensed together, and it was possible to condense one or two excellent formations; Now Xun Gang actually wants to tell himself about new formations, and there are some, what kind of concept is this?

It's like a yellow-mouthed son who said that the soldier saint is not his grandson, but him.

"I wonder what new formation the lord has?"

Xun Gang didn't know where to find a piece of white paper, took a small pen from the hand of the subordinate on the side, seemed to draw something on the paper, and said: "According to the advantages of some narrow terrain, many large formations cannot be put out; Just like the last time in Xingyang, the terrain was narrow and could not carry out a large formation. Therefore, I specially developed a formation for narrow terrain, called the 'Mandarin Duck Formation'. In addition, there is a fire suppression formation called the 'Crossbow Fire Array'"

"The 'Mandarin Duck Formation' is composed of eleven people, one captain, two shield players, two Mo knife hands, four pikemen, and two Yuan Rong hands. During the battle, the captain is at the front to command, and the two shield bearers are in front to open the way, resisting the blades and arrows; The Mo's Knife Swordsman stabs enemies from behind from behind; They were followed by four pikemen, two on each side, who greeted the enemy with their spears and stopped them from advancing; Finally, there is the Yuan Rong hand at the rear, to prevent the surprise attack from the enemy and suppress the enemy with firepower......"

Xun Gang simplified Qi Jiguang's "Mandarin Duck Array" into a version suitable for his own use, replaced the mace with a Mo knife, and replaced the rake with Yuan Rong, which could also deal with many enemies with firepower suppression. I don't know what Qi Jiguang will think when he is in the spirit of the sky......

"Crossbow Fire Array" is a name developed by Xun Gang himself, which he learned from Napoleon's musket phalanx. First of all, the two-layer shield soldiers are wrapped outside the array, which is closed on weekdays, and opens and closes at the request of the master; When it opens, two crossbowmen come out of each gap, one Yuan Rong and one Divine Arm Archer. During the suppression of the Yuanrong crossbow fire, two crossbowmen can be allowed to shoot, just like Napoleon took turns to let people shoot muskets, although the number of attackers was smaller, but the fire suppression never stopped.

At the same time, the shield bearers were to be armed with extremely long spears, like the soldiers in the Macedonian phalanx, to prevent cavalry raids.

There were ten arrows in the Yuan Rong, and after they ran out, it was already the third round of shooting, and at the same time, the second team of Yuan Rong came out of the ranks, and the first team returned to the phalanx to load ammunition; The crossbowmen are divided into three teams and take turns to fight, so they will not waste firepower and can grasp the time properly.

Although Xun Gang doesn't have too many big shields and spears now, these ideas are extremely amazing.

Guo Jia looked at the blank paper in Xun Gang's hand, and listened to Xun Gang's explanation, and was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Bonghyo?"

Xun Gang finished all his thoughts, but Guo Jia didn't react in the slightest; Xun Gang was a little puzzled, and kept calling him, but there was still no reply.

"Lord ......"

After a long time, Guo Jia seemed to be relieved, and actually knelt directly on the ground to express his inner admiration.

"The lord is a great talent, south of crape myrtle, there is only one person!"
