"Daddy, hug me! Hug me! Young Master Zhuge dragged the corner of Daddy Zhuge and jumped up and down, asking Daddy Zhuge to pick him up and watch Cao Cao play cool in the city. It is said that Cao Cao has been grinding outside Jiangling City for a few days, and today he finally packed up and appeared under Jiangling City with his men and horses, ready to attack the city.

Unlike the panic of the rest of Jiangling City, Young Master Zhuge was excited! Siege warfare! This scene of computer stunts that can only be seen in TV dramas in the 21st century can finally be seen alive today! How can you miss it? So in order to let Father Zhuge take him to the city tower, Young Master Zhuge tried his best, from knowing that he was moving with reason, to sprinkling and rolling, crying and shouting at the earth, it was really the so-called everything. Finally, under the powerful offensive of Young Master Zhuge and the coercion and temptation of Mrs. Zhuge , Father Zhuge was forced to agree to Young Master Zhuge to go up to the city tower to take a look. However, there are conditions, that is, once the war begins, you must immediately go down to the city tower, and you must obey the command of all actions on the city tower, and you must not run indiscriminately! Young Master Zhuge hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, and then went up to the Jiangling City Tower.

In fact, if this is someone else, take your 6-year-old son to the city tower? Joke! You can't even be the king of heaven! But who made Liu Bei rare Zhuge Dad? Responding to Daddy Zhuge and decisively ignoring Zhang Fei's big eyes that were about to pop out, he specially approved Young Master Zhuge to go upstairs to observe and study. Zhang Fei's psychology is blocked! This little cub is only 6 years old, what can he observe? If there is a fight later, he will have to send someone to take care of him, and the eldest brother doesn't know what Lu Dao thinks in his heart? But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Young Master Zhuge still swaggered up to the gate building of Jiangling City.

Father Zhuge couldn't stand Young Master Zhuge 's grinding, so he reluctantly picked up Young Master Zhuge and looked down, I'm damned! It's a little more fucking imposing! But I saw a large area of Cao Cao's army of Ula Ula below, densely lined up with neat tofu blocks. War drums, flags, bows, ladders, and stone cannons are in order. The troops are arranged in the order of encampment, the left and right flanks are mixed infantry and cavalry combat corps, and the middle is the main force of the Chinese army's infantry, which is arranged in three formations, namely shield soldiers, crossbow men, and spear infantry. Cao Cao's command post was set up behind the Chinese army, and Cao Chun personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to escort it. This is a typical "goose-shaped array"! For the former ancient formation fan Zhuge Young Master, this shape is too fucking familiar!

When it comes to formations, perhaps the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Daddy Zhuge Eight Formations. In fact, Zhuge Daddy's Eight Array Diagram is purely pirated. Those formations were already well known to generals as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a necessary basic knowledge for military generals, and it was not as legendary as the legend, let alone the original masterpiece of Zhuge Daddy. But what is a genius, that is, stepping on the shoulders of predecessors to create miracles that will amaze future generations!

Historically, Zhuge Daddy ruled Western Shu after Liu Bei's death, in order to achieve the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, in order to fight against the 200,000 infantry cavalry combined troops of Cao Wei who were entrenched in the Longyou generation, and in the case that the corresponding infantry cavalry corps could not be formed to confront Cao Wei because of the serious lack of horses in Shu, Zhuge Daddy exerted his super powerful brain that had no one before and no one after him, starting from the reality of Shu infantry as the main force, innovating the real formation on the basis of the original ancient eight formations, drawing the formation map, and finally forming the "Eight Formations". It was used to train the Shu army to fight against the cavalry units of the Wei State.

So what is a "formation diagram"? The so-called "formation map" is to draw the formation into a figure, draw it on brocade, paper, on the ground or pile it up with sand and gravel to form an intuitive physical object, which is the formation map. Zhuge Liang's text recording the formation has not been handed down, and the eight formation diagram has been lost in the Tang Dynasty. But it is said that Zhuge Liang once made eight formations of stones, the remains of the eight eight sixty-four piles of stones by the fish belly river, that is, the eight formations left by Zhuge Liang, combined with a few words about Zhuge Liang's eight formations, a reasonable simulation, modern soldiers believe that the eight formations are a kind of group phalanx, each eight formations have eight small formations distributed in the eight directions around the central array, the center of the eight formations is the general, the golden drum banner, and the soldiers and horses directly under it, this is the middle array. Each small array has code names such as heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, etc. This is the saying in "Li Tang Asks Right" that "the number of formations is nine", so the Song Dynasty also called the eight formations the nine army formations. The formation of each direction is six small formations, the middle formation is sixteen small formations, and the entire large phalanx has a total of sixty-four small formations, which is just in line with the number of eight eight sixty-four piles of stone relics in the fish belly river. After the large phalanx, there may be twenty-four small formations composed of rangers, for a total of eighty-eight small formations. These small phalanxes can be cavalry, infantry, convoys, composed of dozens to hundreds, the front row is the crossbowman, the middle is the long weaponman, and the back row is the short soldierman (sometimes the order is also different) In order to delay the enemy's attack and give full play to the power of the Shu army's crossbowmen, the eight formations also set up obstacles such as rushing cars, antlers, and thistles when defending.

From the above, it can be seen that Zhuge Daddy's eight formations belong to defensive formations, the advantage is that there is no weakness in deployment, any direction is attacked, the overall large array does not need to make fundamental changes, one is attacked, and the two adjacent formations can automatically become two wings to protect and support the attacked array. But the disadvantages are also very obvious. First of all, such a complex Zhuge Eight Formation requires a lot of time to train, and the mobility is poor, in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, it is not allowed to run when advancing, and it is not allowed to run violently when retreating. This is "the front is the back, the future is the front, there is no speed in the front, and there is no retreat and no reluctance" in "Li Tang Asks the Right". Therefore, the eight formations are a very conservative formation of defensive nature. Without a big defeat, it is also difficult to achieve a big victory. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, and Jiang Wei also attacked Wei many times, without major defeats and no major victories, and it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the Shu army's use of eight formations to fight.

Of course, the goose-shaped array that Cao Cao is now putting out under Jiangling City cannot be an innovative formation for Zhuge Lao Dai, but one of the traditional eight formations that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, "Sun Bin Art of War" collected the culmination of the ancestors, and summarized the ancient formations before the Spring and Autumn Period into ten formations. These "ten arrays" are the square array, the circle array, the sparse array, the several arrays, the cone array, the goose-shaped array, the hook array, the Xuanxiang array, the water array, the fire array, etc. The water array and the fire array talk about the tactics of water warfare and fire warfare, not a simple battle formation, so Sun Bin actually has only eight basic battle formations.

The goose-shaped formation that Cao Cao is now putting on is one of these eight basic formations. The so-called "goose-shaped formation" is actually a kind of battle formation that is spread horizontally, and the left and right wings are arranged in forward or backward echelons, and the forward is a "V" shape, just like the arms of an ape stretched forward, which is a formation used to outflank and detour, but the defense of the rear is relatively weak. If the two wings are more mobile cavalry, then when stationary, they can get the protection and support of the infantry in the center, and can give full play to the power of the attacking cavalry to increase the suddenness. Alexander's battle in India was an approximation of such a formation.

Liu Bei stood on the city tower and looked down on Cao Jun, and saw that Cao Jun's military appearance was neat, his armor was bright, his deployment was rigorous, his morale was high, and his heart was sad! He turned his head and said to Father Zhuge : "Cao Mengde can sweep the northern country, and his name is worthy of it!" Compared with the beginning, he is now more and more proficient in using soldiers! ”
