Dinner started very early, probably knowing that I was coming back, dinner was very rich, and the rain that has always been gushing at the dinner table is silent tonight, whenever I want to find something to talk to him about, he always doesn't say a word, but he doesn't want to talk to me, I wanted to continue to find a conversation, but I was persuaded by Yurou.

After dinner, the maid cleaned up the table, usually if the rain is finished eating, she will leave the hall and go back to sleep, but tonight it has not moved, and when the maids brought the tea and fruit, Yurou sent the others to sleep, leaving only Xiao Yu to wait in the hall.

"The Qi family army is a strong army trained by General Qi Jiguang in the southeast during the time of Emperor Sejong, this army is a collection of General Qi Jiguang's painstaking efforts, its combat power is so strong, and the elite of the soldiers is difficult to have a second in the Ming infantry army!" Ling Yurou first opened the conversation, although Yurou does not know martial arts, but since she was a child, she likes to read the art of war, and later because she has to take care of her own industry, so she searched for news everywhere, it can be said that she is a jack of all trades, I often think that if she was born in modern times, she must be able to become a very successful strong woman. "General Qi Jiguang relied on this army to sweep away the Japanese who were in great trouble in the southeast, and the proportion of battle wounds in the double shot was very terrifying, taking the battle of Hengpu as an example, the Qi family army beheaded thousands of people at the cost of killing several people, which is really rare in ancient and modern times."

I've read about this in history books, and when I saw the battle loss ratio between the two sides, I couldn't believe it was a battle, because from that point of view, that battle was more like a massacre.

"The success of the Qi family army, there are two reasons, one is the soldiers of the Qi army, the Qi army is very strict in the selection of soldiers, and most of its soldiers are from Yiwu, this status is in the mountains, the local people are brave and ruthless, if there is a disagreement, often with the old fist, and never die, this is the soldier is not afraid of death, then the combat power is naturally needless to say. As for the second point! Yurou paused for a moment, and then looked at Yuruo, who was still sitting at the table, as if she wanted her to take over the conversation, but Yuruo just opened her mouth, and then looked at me who was about to listen to the teachings, the expression on her face was tangled, and then she turned her head to the other side and refused to speak.

Yurou saw that her sister didn't speak, but just looked at me with a wry smile: "In addition to the excellent soldiers of the Qi family, the Qi family army is very disciplined, whether it is in peacetime or in battle, so it can coordinate up and down on the battlefield and give full play to the second biggest feature of the Qi family's army, that is, the original formation created by General Qi Jiguang - the Mandarin Duck Formation." This formation is where the Qi family's army is really strong. ”

Finally got to the point, in fact, the biggest feature of Qi Jiajun's tactics is this formation, of course, this formation is recorded in the history books, but how to use it? There are various instructions. Of course, if you want to really understand the essence of this formation, you can only rely on people who have seen this formation.

Obviously, this person is not Yurou, because Yurou has been throwing her eyes at Yuruo, who is sitting as steadily as Tarzan on the side. But Yuruo remained unmoved.

"This formation is clearly recorded in General Qi's "New Book of Ji Xiao", as for how to use it, it is also recorded in the book, but I have never been proficient in the affairs of the battle formation, if the eldest brother wants to know, I will send General Qi's book to the eldest brother tonight, if you have any doubts, the eldest brother can ask Uncle Li, he has seen this mandarin duck array back then!"

"Hmm" I nodded, and then glanced at Yu Ruo, this little girl still didn't seem to want to tell me about the Qi family, just sat there and didn't say a word. Seeing that she didn't speak, my heart suddenly felt as if there were a million divine beasts galloping by, and I forcibly suppressed the urge to kick this girl out, and made an embarrassed expression on my face. "But General Li is the organizer of this competition, I'm afraid he won't tell me the secret of the Qi family's army!"

Yurou Bingxue was smart, and immediately understood what I meant, a hint of a secret smile suddenly crossed the corner of her mouth, and then she nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's a pity that no one has ever seen this mandarin duck array in this huge Dengzhou City!" Yurou said as she looked at Yuruo on the side.

"Alright, alright!" Yuruo waved her hand impatiently, and then looked at me with great disgust, her face full of contempt: "You and my sister said this, don't you just want me to tell you about the Mandarin Duck Formation?" Right! I'll admit that I caused this today! I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the brothers in the Divine Machine Camp, but why should I help you? ”

What a break in the logic! This dead girl really can't put it on the shelf. It's okay to do this, it makes me feel that I owe her in the future, so I straightened my throat: "You said it all, you are not only sorry for me today, but also sorry for the brother of the Shenji Battalion, I don't care if I'm sorry for me, I'm not a person who holds grudges, but if you're sorry for them, it's hard to say, so this time you owe the Shenji Battalion, you have to pay them back!" ”

"Good!" Yuruo immediately got up, and then pointed to my face and said, "Zhang Ziyun, listen to me, I'm not helping you this time, I'm helping those brothers in the Shenji Battalion." ”

Before I could speak, Ling Yuruo turned his head and said: "This mandarin duck formation is the unique formation of the Qi family's army, and I haven't seen it a few times, but last year when Uncle Luo went north to train his troops, he accompanied his godfather to see it in the Dengzhou camp. When arranging the formation, the chief is in front, and the remaining six people follow the action of the chief, once they encounter the enemy, these people will form a circle, the knife player is outside, the long soldier is in the middle, and finally the chief is in the center of the circle, in the battle, the chief observes the situation around him, and then issues an order, the knife player is responsible for resisting the attack, and the long soldier uses a variety of long weapons to fight, the so-called advance can attack and retreat can be defended. In fact, the biggest feature of this formation is a bit similar to your Shenji battalion platoon tactics, dividing the entire army into several combat squads to fight, and these combat squads cooperate in the division of labor under unified deployment, bringing everyone's combat effectiveness to the extreme! ”

Wait, listen to Yu Ruo say this, then this Qi Jiguang is definitely a very terrifying and advanced character, you must know that my so-called battalion tactics are not my own ideas, but I refer to the famous line tactics in modern times, especially after the birth of the flintlock gun. Qi Jiguang invented the group battle mode, which is the prototype of modern team tactics, and the mandarin duck formation is not a very esoteric formation at all, but an army organization form that transforms the army into a basic combat team. No wonder Qi Jiguang was able to play such a terrifying exchange ratio in the battle with the Japanese Invaders, the Qi family army was simply an ancient army with a modern army organization model. The kind of mandarin duck formation with the rudimentary form of the modern team tactical model in the Middle Ages is strange if it is not dead.

Yuruo's little girl's vision is also naturally vicious, and she can see through the advantages of this mandarin duck array and my line team tactics at a glance, which is probably even Li Guangzhong has to bow down in front of her.

"Your so-called battalion and platoon tactics are actually the best tactics to give full play to the firepower of the Shenji battalion, if the enemy is a strong force, if it is also three regiments, adopt the tactics of charging into formation, and it will definitely not be able to break through the fire attack of the three regiments. This battalion tactic is exactly the best choice for the musket-gun unit to restrain the cavalry, but the problem is that this line tactic is not so effective for the infantry army with heavy protection and defense, and the Qi family army happens to be the strongest among the Ming infantry army. ”

I nodded frequently when Yu Ruo's words were said, she was right, at the beginning of the organization of the Shenji battalion was to fully consider the defense and cavalry warfare, on the battlefield three regiments lined up in a line team with a new type of flintlock gun, any cavalry and unprotected light infantry who dare to impact this queue is basically a dead end, but the problem of the line team is also obvious, the first problem is that the tactical use of the flintlock pistol is relatively limited, because although the flintlock pistol is advanced, but after all, he is a front-loading gun, not advanced to be as powerful as a modern rifle, The flintlock pistol is still affected by the rate of fire and the weather and terrain, and it is precisely for this reason that three-stage shooting and line tactics are needed to exert firepower, and if you want to play these two tactics, you can only use them when conducting large-scale operations in the field, as for the siege or something, it is still handed over to the artillery,

The second problem is that this line tactics have a very limited effect on the infantry with good protection, the reason why early firearms are despised by many people is the helplessness of the heavy protection infantry, before the invention of breech guns, most front-loading guns are difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of the infantry and some of the defensive equipment used by the infantry, such as wooden walls, bamboo walls or something, the situation of the flintlock pistol is better, he can basically penetrate the soldier's armor at close range, but the effect of the bamboo wall at a longer distance is still limited. That's why I put a bayonet in front of the flintlock gun, because in many modern wars, the bayonet is the last key to solving the battle.

And now what I have to face is the Qi family's army, the strongest infantry army of the Ming Dynasty, and what is even worse is that this army happens to have rich experience in restraining the musket troops.

Thinking about it, I'm already a head two older.

"In order to restrain the line team tactics of the Shenji Battalion, the Qi family army is likely to also adopt the line team tactics, and the knife players are responsible for resisting the line team fire-gun, most of the sword players of the Qi family army wear rattan armor and hold special rattan cards, which are just used for fire-proof guns, they see that the Shenji Battalion only has fire-guns, and they will definitely try their best to advance to the firing line here, and then fight!"

This is a typical lack of chance! The only thing I could rely on was the bayonets on my artillery regiment and muskets, but could the bayonet units really prevail against the traditional hand-to-hand units? I now finally understand why the armies put a lot of emphasis on hand-to-hand combat, because although everyone still had guns in their hands at that time, it was traditional hand-to-hand combat that really decided the victory.

It seems that I have to think of a way, but I really have to thank Ling Yuruo, although this little girl usually laughs and laughs, but when she looks at things, especially in combat, her vision is still quite a thief, and she is a full staff officer-type character! Thinking so in my heart, my usual bad feelings towards her have also decreased a lot, but when I was about to speak, this little girl seemed to see through my thoughts, yes, just turned her head and ignored me.

"That's all I can say. Think for yourself about the rest! Xiao Nizi immediately stood up, said goodnight to her sister as usual, and walked to the back hall without looking back.

"If Yu is a man, he must be a famous general!" Seeing Yuruo's figure disappear from my sight, I sighed greatly.

"Big brother, don't praise her, okay, it's too late today, it's better for big brother to go to bed early, big brother will go back to the army tomorrow!" Yurou stood up with a smile and ordered Xiao Yu to take me back to the room.

I nodded, I have gained a lot tonight, Yu Ruo's words made me understand a lot of things, although this fight with Qi Jiajun was completely caused by her unintentional words, but this time I may really have to thank this little girl, because this information is likely to give us unexpected gains.
