Chapter 112: Letter from the God of War
Luo Shixin opened the briefcase with curiosity, and what it contained was not an imaginary official document, but a letter and a book, put the bookcase aside, opened the fire paint and read softly:
"Hello General Luo, since I got the news from Jingzhou that the general broke the Turks with the Mo Sword Formation, my heart was greatly touched. Turkism is the first major problem in my Tang Dynasty, and Jing often thinks about the method of stepping and riding. In recent years, I have consulted ancient books and have some experience. It was found that there were many similarities with the general's views. Jing regards the art of war and tactics as an idiot, and the Mo knife array uses the method of foot and horsemanship, synthesizes the wisdom of the predecessors, and innovates to find a new way, which is really exquisite. If you come to the letter, don't be surprised. ”
Thinking of this, Luo Shixin couldn't help but stop his mouth, and smiled secretly in his heart, this Mo Dao Array is the crystallization of your old research for a long time, and you are just relying on the advantages of future generations to draw a gourd.
To be so praised by the god of war, Luo Shi's confidence was still extremely happy, so he hurriedly looked down:
Jing and the King of Qin often mentioned the general in his letters, and learned that the general was open-minded, tolerant, modest and studious, and had the courage to point out the general's shortcomings. The general's Mo sword array is full of pertinence, and it is mixed and changeable. The Turks encountered it for the first time, because they didn't understand the key, so they made the Mo Sword Array show its might. If the other party understands the pertinence of the general's sword formation, take precautions in advance. All kinds of deficiencies of the Mo Dao Array will be reflected. Instead, it is taken advantage of by the enemy. ”
That's a good point!
Luo Shixin is not what it used to be, his military level has made great progress, and he also has his own unique views on military affairs.
The Mo Dao Array is the method of battle formation that he relied on to become famous, and he has studied this aspect a lot, and he did find that the Mo Dao Array has many deficiencies and needs to be continuously improved.
This basic principle of impermanence and impermanence of water, Luo Shixin still understands.
Tactical tactics cannot remain unchanged, and they need to be considered and recuperated in all aspects, and constantly innovated and improved before they can be used for a long time. Until the times change and the tactics are eliminated. Just like Li Mu's chariot array, Wei Qing's Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot array, and Liu Yu's moonless array are all famous infantry riding methods, but if they are used now, they will definitely be beaten and urinated.
The times have progressed, and tactics have also improved, and even if the things that have been eliminated have been brilliant and brilliant, they have been studied to death, and they have lost their useful use.
Even if the Mo Dao Formation will be eliminated sooner or later, but in terms of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it is too early to say that the Mo Dao Array will be eliminated, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Luo Shixin also always felt that there was a very strict problem in his Mo Dao Array, perhaps because of the authorities' fandom, and he never found it.
Read on:
"The general's brilliant ideas are naturally weak, but after all, they are weaker than their skills, resulting in Mo Dao being in formations and soldiers not being soldiers, and without the rules and regulations of the cooperation of the arms, it is impossible to give full play to the true beauty of each branch."
Luo Shixin's expression was moved, and he finally understood the problem: Li Jing is worthy of being Li Jing, and he has seen through the biggest shortcoming of the current Modao Array.
The disadvantage of the Mo knife array is the lack of mobility, and it is a mixed tactic of Mo knife, strong crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, knife soldiers and other arms, which requires tacit cooperation to maximize the advantages of the troops, otherwise they will suffer from it and make a mess of themselves.
Because the Turks didn't know the power of the Modao Formation, the two battles rushed from the front and didn't need any changes. But what if the Turks defended this and charged from the rear of the left and right with the help of the mobility of the cavalry?
Modao must rush to the left and right wings or the rear at the first time to change the formation and complete the protection of the left and right wings and the back row, how to do this in the shortest possible time is particularly important.
It's like a big dance, with hundreds of people going back and forth in a non-chaotic formation.
It's easy for a few hundred people to do this, but what about a few thousand? What about tens of thousands?
Luo Shixin knows that it is not easy to lead soldiers, especially when it reaches a certain number, it is a test of the commander's command ability. Not everyone is Han Shin, and the more the merrier.
The Modao Formation lacks the ability to change formations in the face of any situation, which requires a certain amount of formation support.
Let Luo Shixin charge, he should be unstoppable; Let Luo Shixin give advice, and he can also use his own cleverness to combine history and come up with some schemes. But if he wants to set up a formation to create a formation suitable for the Mo Dao Formation, then spare him, as a person in the twenty-first century, who has eaten enough and has nothing to do and has come into contact with this thing? It's useless to have a thousand years of wisdom!
Luo Shixin's eyes were smeared, which was his worst shortcoming.
Resisting the urge to go crazy, Luo Shixin continued to read:
"Jing has studied the art of war since he was a child, and he boasts that he is quite hot, and he has thought out a few sets of formations suitable for the Mo Dao formation, and painted them in the book, hoping that the general will not hesitate to give advice."
Seeing this, Luo Shixin was overjoyed, Li Jing said modestly, but as a later generation, how can he not know: Li Jing is one of the top military strategists in China's thousand-year history, not to mention the art of war, not to mention, playing the formation is also a first-class master, according to legend, Li Jing learned the formation of the Nine Armies from his uncle Han Baohu, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and made a very famous six-flower formation after improvement. The method of changing the Nine Armies with the Six Flower Array is highly respected by later generations.
Luo Shixin couldn't wait to read the letter, so he took the book on the side and couldn't wait to read it.
The book is full of pictures and texts, and a set of formation change formations is recorded in detail. Li Jing seemed to know that Luo Shixin was a novice, and all his gaze was expressed in the most understandable words, without any esoteric words. Even Luo Shixin, who doesn't know anything about this, can see some cats, and he seems to understand it.
Luo Shixin sat for an afternoon with the book in his hand, and found that if the Mo Dao soldiers trained according to the formation on the book, they would greatly make up for the lack of mobility after they were proficient, and the operation of the rules and regulations could complete the change of formation in a short period of time. A small book, the words are wonderful.
Putting down the book, Luo Shixin's eyes revealed excitement and respect, and he sighed in his heart, the name of the god of war is worthy of its name!
I took the letter from the side and continued to look down.
The following content is also some views on the Mo Dao Formation, and finally some polite words, and also tactfully expressed a meaning, I hope Luo Shixin doesn't mind.
In fact, Li Jing wrote these to Luo Shixin after some hesitation, after all, the Modao Array was created by Luo Shixin, and he pointed fingers to find problems on the side, which was a little morally unreasonable. If it weren't for Li Shimin's letter to point out Luo Shixin's character, there would be no such letter. But even so, Li Jing was still a little apprehensive and explained at the end of the letter.
There is no doubt that Li Jing is overthinking.
Luo Shixin doesn't have so much thought, he thinks that it is natural for a capable person to be a teacher, and Li Jing can write a letter to give advice, which is something that cannot be sought, how can there be superfluous thoughts.
Without hesitation, Luo Shixin wrote a reply, expressing his gratitude to Li Jing in the letter, and then explained his views on the Modao Formation and discussed it with him.
Luo Shixin checked it, except for the ugly words, he was still quite satisfied, put the letter into a briefcase, and called someone to send it to Jingzhou.
PS: It's forcefully pushed, if there is no support from brothers and sisters, there is no word to go this far, there are only thousands of words of thanks!
