The formation of the Huolin Army is the first three and the second behind, the five battalions of the Zuofu Army, three of which are all veterans who have participated in the battle against the Yan Army, and the two new and old ones are located in the rear. In addition, this time it also brought dozens of large-kill weapons - crossbow machines, which are exclusive to the guard army and will not be equipped by the government army. In other words, such a sharp weapon has not yet been deployed in the Evil Army. This is the best news for the Fire Lin Army.

Between the two battalions in the back, is where Zhao Xun's personal guard battalion is located. He commands the whole army and directs the movements of the whole army. As for the cavalry battalion, Zhao Xun has not yet let it appear on the battlefield, because they are the big killers in this battle, and they will kill with one blow.

Zhang Shan, the sentry commander of the personal guard battalion, rode a fast horse and shuttled back and forth at the front of the first three battalions, as well as the scouts of the Zuofu Army themselves, who also shuttled in front of the front battalion and constantly reported relevant information.

If there was urgent information, the scouts rode directly through the defense of the front camp and came to Zhao Xun to report. The crisp sound of horses' hooves made the surrounding foot soldiers envious, but the vast majority of soldiers also knew that on the battlefield, scouts were definitely the most dangerous, and often before the battle began, they had already fallen in a pool of blood. The deaths of dozens of people in the past have already foreshadowed the danger of this branch.

Zhang Shan went back and forth, and also collected the news from the scouts and reported it.

"Report! The army dispatched a total of 5,000 men and stayed behind to guard the imperial camp. ”

"Lei Yan, the commander of the Commander of the Evil Army, appeared in the opponent's formation!"

"The army is divided into three battalions on the left and right, with 2,000 people on the left flank, 2,100 people on the right flank, and 2,000 people on the middle flank!"

"The Evil Warrior Army has adopted a similar cone-shaped array!"

The reason why it is said that the Impald Army adopts a similar conical array is mainly because the formation of the Impalded Army is not standard, or in other words, there is no standard formation. If you equip all the infantry with horses, you will find that they are completely in charge formation.

The cone formation, as the name suggests, is a battle formation with a forward like a cone, the cone formation must be sharp and fast, and the two wings must be strong and powerful, so that the elite striker can attack the enemy in a narrow front, break through and cut the enemy's formation, and expand the results on both wings, which is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.

"Since you want to attack, then I will defend, and at the same time, prepare time for our army behind you." Zhao Xun said lightly.

"Let the four battalions and five battalions also participate, set up the formation! Defend the Imperial Array! Circle Array! ”

The circular formation refers to the circular battle formation during the ancient field defense war, which is one of the "ten formations" in ancient times. The circle array is for the garden array to carry out a ring defense, and the golden drum banner is deployed in the center, and there are no obvious weaknesses.

"My lord, why do you have to do this, kill them directly, how can you be afraid of them?" Wei Chen asked.

"Let them think that we are nothing more than this, so that they can let down their vigilance, and then prepare for a flanking attack from the north and south to break through the camp."

"Although we can defeat them, as far as we know, the construction of the camp of the Yan army is also extremely strict, and it is all made with the assistance of the people of the camp state capital, and it is not a simple matter to break through it smoothly. The most important thing is that if we can't take the camp of the Evil Army in one fell swoop, it will be detrimental to our next actions. The team in Le'an County is in danger! ”

After Zhao Xun issued the military order, the herald beside him waved the flag in his hand and conveyed the meaning with the flag, and suddenly the entire military array began to shake. After months of training, it finally showed its strength again.

The round formation is a very conservative formation, the general is located in the center of the formation, the peripheral forces are deployed layer by layer, spears, bows and arrows are outside, and mobile forces are included, which is used when engaging superior enemy forces, and the basic tactical idea is intensive defense. The advantage of the square circle array is that the formation is dense and the defense is strong, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Because the dense formation restricts maneuverability and lacks change, it is difficult for the enemy to pursue when retreated, and the attack is poor. In short, excellent defense, excellent counterattack.

"General! The Huolin Army changed its formation, it was a circle formation, which is often called a turtle formation, a defensive formation! ”

"Haha, that's just the case with the Fire Lin Army!" Some lieutenants laughed disdainfully when they heard the scout's report.

Lei Yan shook his head and hesitated, "What is the Fire Lin Army really doing?" Attack first, but then set up a turtle formation? ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drummers on both sides were beating the war drums vigorously, urging their soldiers to hurry into battle. The sound of the drums shook the whole barren beach, the weeds that rose and fell in the cold wind. As if they also felt the vibration of the drums, even if the cold wind had stopped, their slender bodies were still trembling with the drums, until the dense footsteps trampled them under their feet. The originally bright sunlight seemed to tremble slightly under the vibration of the drums, and the figure projected on the ground was always shaking slightly, giving people a very strange feeling.

Formation training is an important method of governing the army in ancient times, but for Zhao Xun, it is very new, after all, the queue of the modern army is completely different from the ancient army.

After leading the army, especially after the formation of the army in Yanzhou Mansion, he also studied the changes in the ancient formation in depth. Different from the modern army in the previous life, the modern army in the previous life was very beautiful and neat, but it did not have much effect in actual combat. However, the queue of the ancient army has very high requirements, and it is necessary to take into account all aspects such as combat effectiveness, mobility, and flexibility, and at the same time it will also play a huge role in actual combat. To this end, he also asked his subordinate lieutenants to begin to learn the changes in the military formation, even if they could not use it flexibly, they had to learn to cooperate with the army.

The most basic formation training is to teach the soldiers the rules of advance and retreat and the law of gathering and dispersing, so that they can be familiar with various signals and passwords, and ensure that orders and prohibitions are carried out and coordinated in battle, and only in this way can the overall joint force be brought into play. At the same time, formation drills are an effective way to train the rabble into an army.

In this regard, Zhao Xun gave me a conditioned reflex for the change of their training formation and the military posture of the training station!

The formation is very complicated, and the requirements for the soldiers are also very high, just the most used large array, there are fish scale array, crane wing array, sharp arrow array, glaive array, goose marching array, yoke array, long snake array, etc., requiring every soldier to master, without more than half a year, it is simply impossible.

Even Zhao Xun didn't dare to say that these formations would be, let alone the soldiers, so Zhao Xun gathered the soldiers of the personal guard battalion every three days, in addition to explaining the art of war. In addition to the strategy, he also explained the changes in the military formation. The guards of the battalion handed it over to the recruits, and at the same time, the captains and sentry commanders of each battalion needed to train the non-commissioned officers in the changes in the formation.

Although the Zuofu army is as far away as an arm, there is still a long way to go. But in the end, the circle was quickly laid out, perhaps the circle array is one of the simpler ones.

Zhao Xun stood in the middle of the team, looked around carefully, watched the speed of change in the military formation of his subordinates, and couldn't help but think of the gossip array in the movie (Chibi) in his previous life, and couldn't help but think: If you let your subordinates put out such a formation, can you quickly set it up?

Suddenly, he felt the pressure on his shoulders deeply. As the team grew larger and the scale of the battle grew, he needed more and more knowledge to familiarize. In this kind of battle with more than 1,000 people, the role of personal martial arts is already very limited, even if he Zhao Xun is Zhao Zilong's rebirth, he can kill 100, 200 or even 300 people on the other side, but he can't kill 1,000 or 5,000 people on the other side.

Zhao Zilong is seven in and seven out of the million Cao army? Is it possible? An army of one million is enough to stretch for more than 100 miles, and Zhao Zilong is only facing thousands of people, not to mention that Cao Cao wants to catch him alive. Of course, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was a novel at that time.

Therefore, the best results can be achieved only by bringing all the armies together and turning them into some part of their body, flexible and powerful. In order to achieve this goal, both he and his subordinates must do more.

The Zuofu Army, which is new to the military formation, is very standard, and at the same time, it is also very rigid. The pikemen are at the front, with shield bearers in the middle, and archers at the back. Because it is a square circle, it can be explained that the outermost circle is full of pikemen, the middle circle is the sword and shield hand, and the innermost circle is the archers. The distance between them is basically equal, each has his own designated position, and no one can leave his place without an order, otherwise. What awaits them will be the most severe military punishment. On the battlefield, officers have the right to execute any soldier who moves. It's not that these soldiers are not allowed to change, but they are afraid that if they move, the entire army will be scattered.

At the core of the circle array, in addition to Zhao Xun and the soldiers of his personal guard battalion, there were also two hundred soldiers of the crossbow machine battalion, and along with them were dozens of long-range weapons such as Zhang crossbows and Fuyuan crossbows. The ballista battalion is also a newly established team, under the jurisdiction of the Pro-Guard Army. Due to the shortage of crossbow machines, there are only more than 200 people and nearly 70 crossbow machines. These are still coming back from the camp of the Longxiang army stationed in Maping, and as for the craftsman battalion, they are now stepping up to catch up.

The advantages of this long-range shooting weapon are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The advantage is that the lethality is strong and the range is ultra-long, which can give the enemy a great psychological shock; The disadvantage is that it is difficult to reload, and it is easily damaged, and most of the time, the large crossbow machine has not had time to fire five times, and the enemy has already reached the front of the position. It also has the inherent disadvantages of being large and difficult to transport, making it suitable only for defense and not for offense.

Su Ziyan was dressed in the armor of the guards of the guard battalion and followed Zhao Xun closely, of course, the guards of the guard battalion did not regard her as their own, and many of the guards of the guard battalion had been paying attention to her. Because, this woman is very powerful.

Su Ziyan also seemed to be stimulated by the situation of the army in front of her, her face was flushed, and her face was either excited, excited, or excited.

"What? Haven't seen it? Isn't your uncle the commander of the Shunzhou Army? This should be common, right? Look at your excitement ......," Zhao Xun shook his head and sighed.

Su Ziyan waved his hand and said: "This is different, although the Shunzhou army has also fought with the other three armies, but it is a small-scale battle, and it will retreat with one blow, and at most it will only be fought by more than a thousand people." There was such a thing there, and there was a battle of nearly 10,000 people on each side. Is...... It's really ......" said, Su Ziyan didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Exciting! It seems that I still look down on your three Yan armies in Shunzhou! Zhao Xun shook his head and said.

Su Ziyan's expression darkened, and he couldn't refute it, even he felt that the difference between the Shunzhou Army and the Huolin Army was completely heaven and earth.

"Why can the Fire Lin Army go head-to-head with the Evil Army? And the Shunzhou army can't? Why was the Huolin Army able to mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers to participate in the war with the Yan Army, and they were not afraid. Is the Shunzhou military marching? Su Ziyan asked herself silently.

The answer is obvious, Zhang Lei's Black Snake Army is not good, neither is Bao Shuyang's Qingyang Army, and as for his uncle Li Yu's Shunzhou Army, it is even more not. The Huolin army has already occupied a place and is plotting to seize the rest of the territory, while the three Shunzhou armies are still fighting with each other. ”

"Zhao Xun, then you say, why didn't the Yan army in Shunzhou wipe out the three Yan armies? With their abilities, it's easy. Su Ziyan asked a little distractedly. Now he understands that the three Yan armies in Shunzhou have been able to fight so far, not because the Yan army can't beat them, but because there are other reasons.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Who knows? Or maybe the Yan army didn't want to provoke the Khitan and Youzhou Governor Li Huaiyuan, or maybe there was some secret deal. In short, these people are not good birds. ”
