The old man sitting next to Qi Jiguang is not an ordinary person, his surname is Tang, his name is Shunzhi, his name is Yingde, his name is Jingchuan, he has been a member of Jiajing for eight years, and he has been an official to Langzhong of the military department and the governor of Fengyang, and he was cut back to his hometown because he angered Emperor Jiajing. Although he is a retired official, Tang Shunzhi is profoundly knowledgeable, especially the imperial widow is particularly researched, and this time he passed by the Jiangnan camp to visit Qi Jiguang.

For Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him, and even put aside the matter of opening up, and talked deeply with Tang Shunzhi about the anti-Japanese attack.

For the problem of the poor combat ability of the Ming army's individual soldiers, Qi Jiguang has not been bothered for a day or two, fighting more and fighting less, and losing more and winning less.

This time, Qi Jiguang issued a military order from Hu Zongxian to recruit 4,000 miners from Yiwu to train the new army. The "four wants" and "four don'ts" of its conscription standards are also extremely harsh. But although these Yiwu soldiers are not afraid of death, but when they are in battle, their combat effectiveness is still far behind that of the real Japanese, and at present, the Japanese chieftain Wang Zhixin is dead, and the Japanese are disrupted and disturbed everywhere, and Qi Jiguang is no longer allowed to train in an orderly manner, in this case, it is natural for Qi Jiguang to want to hear Tang Shunzhi's construction.

"Yuan Jing, you are the old man of the school examination." Tang Shunzhi said with a smile: "I just took a look at your camp, and you are obviously prepared for how to solve the problem of weak individual combat ability." Since you ask, the old man will talk about his shallow knowledge, which may also have some effect on you. ”

Qi Jiguang didn't dare to say anything.

Tang Shunzhi stroked his beard and said, "To change this situation, it is nothing more than three words." "

"Mr. Jing Chuan taught me." Qi Jiguang hurriedly said.

"One of them." Tang Shunzhi said: "The high and low, with the outnumbered enemy, so that the courage of ten thousand people is not appropriate, has existed since ancient times. However, technicians have very strict requirements for talent, and some people have not been able to learn advanced skills in their lifetime. Even if you have talent, it takes time to succeed in learning, and it is not easy to achieve a small success in ten years of cold and summer. "

Qi Jiguang nodded again and again. He realized this most deeply. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, he also studied the strengths of many martial arts masters, and according to the characteristics of the army's operations, he created a set of martial arts suitable for the soldiers' contact practice, and the initial results were also seen. But compared to the Japanese who have been exposed to it since childhood, and they are fighting for life and death, it is still a little worse.

"Second, the instrument." Tang Shunzhi said: "As the old saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!" It can make up for the lack of skills in a large range of dù and achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is the essence of Yuan Jing. I see that the spears of your guards are longer and thicker than the average ones, and they are specially used to restrain the swords, right? "

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly proudly: "Although the sword is passed down from the Tang Sword, the essence of the forging technique has completely surpassed my Ming forging technique. Moreover, the blade is longer than the short knife of our army, and it can often attack me in the front, and our knife has not yet cut the Japanese Kou, but has been injured by the Japanese Kou. Although the ordinary spear is longer than the sword, the barrel of the gun is thinner, and it is often used by the sword and the sword, and the < is also said to be lame, and the scarlet is said to be lame, and the leech is said to be lame, and the leech is said to be uranium. And it is good to provide for negligence, and if it is close to the Japanese invaders, it will be dangerous. "

What Qi Jiguang said was all expected by Tang Shunzhi, so he smiled and said: "This third word is also the most important word, and it is the essence of the wisdom of the sages. This word is He! "

"He?" Qi Jiguang seemed to have an understanding.

"Not bad! Exactly the fit. When the skill is exhausted, it is supplemented by the instrument; If the equipment is insufficient, it will be made up by people, and it is said that the enemy is outnumbered. But Hehe is different. The crowd is a rabble, and the union is orderly. Tang Shunzhi said.

Cheng Zhong sighed slightly in his heart, this Tang Shunzhi is going around and around, what kind of skill, weapon, he, to put it bluntly, isn't it martial arts, weapons, and the combined attack technique in the army? What's new?

If Tang Shunzhi's words still made Cheng Zhong feel a little contemptuous, then what he said next made Cheng Zhong admire.

"I have been studying for several years, and I have occasional gains, so please take a look." Tang Shunzhi published a book, turned to one of the pictures, and explained: "First take the people as the captain, and then the two are the rattan players and the long players, mainly covering the rear team to advance." The long deck holds a long shield to shield the arrows and spears of the witans, and the rattan holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and a waist knife. The javelin is used to throw and wound the enemy from a distance, and the short knife is used to defend the enemy at close range. The other two are wolf wrestlers. The wolf is made of old and solid bamboo, about three meters long, and the end of the bamboo is cut obliquely into a pointed shape, leaving sharp branches around it, which can cover the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind. Next were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, taking care of the shield-bearers and wolf-bearers on the left and right in front of them. They were followed by two soldiers armed with "boring palladium", and finally a bird gunner, who served as a guard and support. As long as each person is proficient in one weapon, the order is forbidden, and they cooperate with each other, even if they are not as good as the skill, they can kill the enemy and win. "

"Good!" Qi Jiguang exclaimed, "Don't hide it from Mr. Jing Chuan, Qi Mou has long had this intention, but he is only shallow in his learning, and he has never created a subtle formation, but now he has Mr. Jing Chuan's on-demand advice, and he suddenly opens up."

Cheng Zhong was also secretly surprised in his heart, listening to the meaning of Tang Shun's words, this should be the legendary Mandarin Duck Array, right? He always thought that the Mandarin Duck Array was created by Qi Jiguang, and the original idea came from Tang Shunzhi.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think?" Qi Jiguang asked suddenly. It's not that he really wants to ask Cheng Zhong's opinion, it's just that he just talked to Tang Shunzhi about speculation and ignored Cheng Zhong. At this time, I saw him sitting on the sidelines, slightly apologetic. Qi Jiguang is a thoughtful person, so he asked Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong had made up his mind not to say a word, but Qi Jiguang nodded, if he didn't say it, or if he couldn't say anything, he would be despised by Qi Jiguang. After a deep sigh, he said, "The old gentleman is thoughtful, and the boy admires it." "

Qi Jiguang was a little disappointed in his heart, but he could understand it in his heart, after all, Cheng Zhongjie was a weak scholar, how could he have any insight into military affairs? It seems that asking him is really redundant.

But what he didn't expect was that Cheng Zhong said something that made him jaw-dropping next.

"But-" As soon as Cheng Zhong said two words, Qi Jiguang and Tang Shunzhi were stunned. How? He really has a "high opinion".

Cheng Zhong didn't sell Guan Zi, but continued: "The Mandarin Duck Formation is indeed very good, but the two armies are facing each other, and it is impossible to pick up the open field. "

Cheng Zhong said this not because he was thoughtful, it was because he learned in later generations that Qi Jiguang had made changes to the Mandarin Duck Formation after the Battle of Flower Street, with twelve people in the Mandarin Duck Formation, six people in the sub-array, and three people in the sub-array, so that even in the cramped terrain, it could be used.

Cheng Zhong in later generations knew some of Qi Jiguang's life and also knew something about it, so he mentioned it at this moment.

Qi Jiguang's gaze immediately changed when he saw Cheng Zhong.

"Tianzhong genius, that's what it says." Tang Shunzhiye exclaimed. He was not annoyed and angry because Cheng Zhong pointed out the shortcomings of his formation, but felt happy and admired. This mind alone made Cheng Zhong sigh with joy.

"This Cheng Zhong is really extraordinary!" After the big tent, Wang couldn't help but praise: "The eyes are like torches, in a word, the enemy is expected to be the first." It's not easy. "

"That's nature." The woman in the power suit said proudly, as if she was being praised.

Wang looked secretly funny, if this woman was in love, it would be really hard to help herself.

Of course, Cheng Zhong could only say this, and if he said more, he was afraid that he would be exposed, so he said humbly: "Old gentleman, the kid only had this idea on the basis of your mandarin duck array." "

"Wait, what did you just say? Mandarin duck array? Tang Shunzhi suddenly interrupted Cheng Zhong's words.

"yes." Cheng Zhong replied inexplicably.

"Mandarin duck array, mandarin duck array, short for mandarin ducks, long for mandarins; Attack is the mandarin duck, and the defense is the yang; Left and right symmetry, echoing back and forth, each other is a mandarin duck, saying that it is a mandarin duck array is really appropriate! After the old decay created this array, he couldn't think of a suitable name, at this time, listening to the little brother's words, he suddenly became enlightened, Yuan Jing, how about this formation be called the Mandarin Duck Array in the future? "

"Wonderful!" Qi Jiguang also clapped his hands and praised.

Cheng Zhong was dumbfounded, could it be that this mandarin duck array was named by himself, this is too, right?

Although this reply was only a few words, it made Tang Shunzhi and Qi Jiguang look at Cheng Zhong with admiration, and faintly cited them as fellow believers.
