Guo Jia stood at the head of the city, saw Sun Ce actually riding his horse away, smiled faintly, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to be so confident, maybe they were too young and seemed to be frivolous, and the consequence of Sun Ce's rashness was that he was assassinated by assassins, maybe Zhou Yu would know how to restrain because of this." ”

At this moment, Xiahou Dun had already ascended to the top of the city, although he lost the upper hand in a battle with Sun Ce, he was not injured, and walked quickly to Guo Jia and said ashamedly: "Sir, the last general is ashamed, not only did he not capture Sun Ce, but also caused the morale of our army to fall, which is really a certain fault." ”

"It's okay, for the general, the battle of wits is the best, if you don't fight with Sun Ce, you have already won." Guo Jia smiled faintly and looked sideways at Xiahoudun, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

"The end will be taught." Xiahoudun had mixed feelings in his heart, and immediately thanked him.

"Select 100 brave people in the whole army who are forbidden by order and strict in military discipline, and a certain person will lead the soldiers out of the city!" Guo Jia paused for a moment, and then said: "Wait for a certain pass, prepare a few ropes, close the city gate, and prepare the crossbowmen in the city, if the enemy pursues, you can fire ten thousand arrows, and you can climb the rope." ”

Although the Cao army is a large number of soldiers in the pass at this moment, there are not many people left, only more than 2,000 people, after all, the strong attack on Weishui Pass has suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers under his command are almost damaged, although it is a sneak attack, but the Weishui Pass is strong and thick, even if the Cao army can break it, it is also a painful price.

At this moment, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the troops to detain the pass, Guo Jia had to defend, although the soldiers under his command were twice as large as Sun Cejun, but the combat power was not very strong, and the Yuan Shu army could still have some advantages, if it was a battle with Sun Ce's army, Guo Jia did not have this confidence.

Because Guo Jia knew in his heart that although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had few soldiers, they must be elite, just imagine, Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Ce would rebel, and the grain and grass provided must be very small, only enough for Sun Ce to raise more than 1,000 soldiers, then these more than 1,000 soldiers must be elite, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's ability to govern the army is very strong, and it is easy to train a strong army.

Out of the pass at this moment, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must not give Sun Cejun a chance to take the opportunity to cover up and kill, if Sun Cejun is allowed to rush into the pass, it will be a field battle, and it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

This battle is a battle to the death, no matter whether you win or lose, the city gate must not be opened, so if Guo Jia and his soldiers want to return to the city, they can only climb the rope, as for those crossbowmen, they are naturally covering everyone to return to the city, Guo Jia is most afraid of death, and he must leave a way back for himself.

The battle formation is not better than the field battle, the most important thing is to prohibit the order, the military discipline is strict, if all use the brave, may not be able to achieve victory, after all, the two sides will constantly adjust the formation when the battle is fierce.

It's just a lot of fighting, although the soldiers are brave, people have been beating you all the time, you are not an opponent, even if it is a knife-to-knife slash, you can also dodge and move to avoid the enemy's attack, it is not that the soldiers hedge, a knife will die.

The primary introduction to the formation is to prohibit it, and the Eastern formation originated in China, but it is different from the Western formation.

To put it bluntly, in fact, there is no formation in the West, and the more famous Macedonian phalanx is not so profound and mysterious, and the Western formation plays with the prohibition of the order, ordering the soldiers under his command to line up in the phalanx, and then pushing them over, cutting them when they see people, as long as the soldiers do not retreat, it is a good formation, probably so.

But the Eastern Formation is indeed superior, focusing on a change of words, seeking to fight more and less in the battle formation forever, which is the essence of the change of the Eastern Formation.

The Western formation seems to be powerful, but in fact, it is just a rigorous management of the army, just imagine, the same are all elite soldiers, the same are indomitable soldiers who will never retreat, the number of both sides is equal, the combat power is equal, and the equipment is comparable.

The west is a flat push of the phalanx, and the east is constantly changing, constantly adjusting the formation of the soldiers under its command, and maintaining the eternal more and less fighting, and the results can be imagined.

There are also variations and routines in Western formations, but most of them are flat pushes, first throwing spears, then bows and arrows, then spears and stabs, and then knives and slashes.

The Eastern formation does not mean that there is no strong bow and crossbow, such a routine has been tired of playing in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the generals of the East can be said to have played the formation out of tricks.

Even if it is the strongest formation in the West, the Macedonian phalanx, under the above conditions, against the Bagua Array, and even the Eight Formations improved by Zhuge Liang throughout his life, it is absolutely impossible to gnaw, and it is to die.

The Bagua Array and the Eight Array Diagram are the two strongest defensive formations in the Cold Weapon Era, and there is no one.

Guo Jia remembers that in his previous life, he had watched a science and education or discovery channel, which also explained the formation, which made it very clear that the Western formation was the kind of beating that stayed in the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, the two sides lined up, then beat the drums, and then hedged, one round, two rounds, repeated cycles, or directly hit a slash.

That's how the Western formation is, right? This is the formation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, right? Then why did the ancient Chinese not use it later?

Because it's outdated to fight like that...... It's as simple as that.

Therefore, the formation focuses on change, not on the courage of the soldiers, which is why the ancient Chinese formation is frequently lost, while the Western formation can continue to this day.

Because the Chinese formation focuses on change, you can't learn it without a few years of hard work, and the Western formation is a flat push, and if you change it, you will also ......

This also illustrates the importance of orders and prohibitions when fighting in formations.

Not long after, Sun Ce's army outside Weishui Pass had arrived, and Zhou Yu had carefully selected a hundred elite soldiers to wait for Guo Jia.

And Guo Jia also selected a hundred elite soldiers by Xiahoudun, at this moment the city was opened, Guo Jiaxin horse in front, walking slowly, although the soldiers on both sides were far apart, but at the same time staring at the center of the battlefield, the atmosphere around was particularly depressing, only the earth-shaking drums of the armies on both sides remained.

And when Weishui was closed, Xiahoudun personally went into battle, and Sun Ce's army was the same, Sun Ce's war horse was on the side, and he also personally beat the drum to help!

Cao's army walked slowly, and in a short time, it was three hundred steps away from Zhou Yu's army, and there were one hundred and one soldiers on each side, one army and two horsemen, and ninety-nine foot soldiers.

Guo Jia and Zhou Yu bowed their heads at the same time, and the cavalry on their sides all rode out, each holding a military flag in their hands, waiting to go to the field, glaring at each other, and at the same time inserting the military flag deep into the ground.

At this moment, the war drums of both sides sounded at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides shouted: "Victory!" Win! ”

"It's a troll?" Guo Jia looked up and couldn't help frowning, he was actually not sure about this battle in his heart, he just wanted to explore the depth of Zhou Yu, after all, most of the soldiers under Guo Jia's command were Yellow Turban soldiers or Bao Xin's old troops, and their combat power was not strong, and they were untrained.

Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have not been fighting for a long time, they should be dispatched no matter what, Zhou Yu actually led the naval army out of the battle at this moment, Guo Jia didn't know what Zhou Yu was thinking for a while.

As for where Guo Jia came from, it is naturally the details, as well as the bows and crossbows held by the soldiers under Zhou Yu's command, which can all show that Zhou Yu is leading a naval army.

"Columns!" Guo Jiaping looked at Zhou Yu and the soldiers under his command, and roared, and all the soldiers around him were suddenly ready to fight!
