"The strength of the Jin Army's iron cavalry is nothing more than two points: when it is far away, it relies on a strong bow and a hard crossbow to shoot accurately; In close combat, relying on the impact of the war horse, everywhere you go, you can't resist it! The traditional formation of cracking the iron cavalry is nothing more than the chariot resisting in front, the spearmen are mixed in the chariot formation, assisted by bow and crossbow shooting, and then the short knife hand is helping, and in the center is the horse army waiting to attack! ”

"This formation is very conservative, focusing on defense, focusing on consuming the enemy's vital strength in defense, and when the enemy's strength is almost consumed, then shoot back, and pay attention to the preemptive strike. However, the disadvantage is very big, the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, once the enemy swims constantly, constantly scatters on the periphery, and constantly consumes the physical strength of our army, instead of a stupid impact battle formation, then our army will fall into passivity! ”

"In order to crack the iron cavalry of the Jin Army, I found a formation in the ancient book, called the Scattered Star Array, as if the stars in the sky were scattered, once the iron cavalry of the Jin Army came to attack, it was scattered, forming a battle group, or not moving like a mountain, and a movement was like a thunderbolt attack, destroying everything; And once the Jin army's iron cavalry retreats, if you want to organize the cavalry again and attack again, you must gather together and work together to resist the arrows of the Jin army! “

"Scattered Star Array, pay attention to gathering and scattering, constantly consuming the enemy, not passive defense, passive like a live target, waiting to be beaten, but take the initiative to attack, between gathering and scattering, looking for the enemy's flaws, and finally attack!"

"The traditional anti-cavalry formation pays attention to layers of resistance, defense, and pays attention to being invincible first, and then seeking victory. And the scattered star array, it is about the redemption, one life for one life, only those who are not afraid of death can live to the end, the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster they will die! ”

Zhao Pu inspected the soldiers, talked about the new formation, and began to guide the whole army exercises.

The Mandarin Duck formation, mainly in mountainous and hilly areas, against light infantry. Once faced with heavy infantry, or erratic cavalry, it will be a loss. And in the future, having to fight in the plains against the iron cavalry of the Jin Army is an unavoidable theme for the Bazi Army.

As a result, Zhao Pu proposed a new formation, the Scattered Star Array was used to crack the heavy armored cavalry, or cavalry.

What is a Scattered Star Array?

The literary works of later generations, the historical records of later generations, describe a lot, a lot, and say that the flower crown is quintessential and wonderful, but after reading it, I am still confused. In fact, the scattered star array is not mysterious at all, but is known for its practicality.

In fact, many formations in ancient times were known for their practicality and simplicity, after all, formations were for fighting, not for looking good. Those mysterious and mysterious, second and second formations, in addition to the literati can play with them, that one can understand. In fact, generals who have commanded large armies know that in the face of a group of illiterate people, even middle and low-level generals are also illiterate, there is no point in engaging in those bells and whistles. Only simplicity and practicality can be accepted by the soldiers and can be flexibly drunk by the soldiers.

The principle of the scattered star array is very simple and concise. That is, when the enemy's iron cavalry attacked, it was a group of three or a group of five, scattered, like a group of stars, forming a deep, in-depth defense. And the distance spread between each battle group is exactly the gap between the cavalry and the cavalry.

The scattered infantry battle groups entered the gaps of the cavalry army like sand, dividing the cavalry one by one, losing the advantage of the cavalry's collective impact, and dividing thousands, or even tens of thousands, of iron cavalry into disconnected war horses. Then they swarmed up, chopping off the horse's legs, stabbing the horse's belly, hooking the cavalry, in short, several people beating a cavalryman.

And once the enemy's iron cavalry retreats, they will regroup to prevent bows and arrows from afar.

The battle mode of the Scattered Star Array is similar to that of the Mandarin Duck Array, both of which take the route of group fighting.

It's just that the Scattered Star Array needs more courage to exchange life for life. After all, the infantry group constantly penetrates the gaps of the cavalry, and it is itself trapped in the death situation. The cavalry relied on the superiority of the horses, the impact of the horses, and it was possible that some infantry groups were trampled to death by the hooves of the horses or hacked to death by the condescending sabers before they could enter the cavalry.

And the infantry group, the only opportunity seized, relied on the condescending cavalry, the blind spot of the sight, at the moment of approaching the cavalry, took the lead in attacking, and in an instant, decided life and death.

In this way, it is more aggressive and destructive than the general chariot array. It was very difficult, if not impossible, for the cavalry to first retreat, to get rid of the entanglement of the foot soldiers, and then to regroup and charge again. And in the general car formation, as long as the enemy does not take the initiative to attack the car formation, the loss will not be too large.

The general car formation, pay attention to defense; And the scattered star array, attaches importance to attack.

…………

While teaching the formation, Zhao Pu also began to systematically emphasize military discipline.

Military discipline is often the moment when it is violated, and it is only when it is violated that it is military discipline; And in the moment when there is no violation, military discipline is often forgotten.

Military discipline, no matter how many times it is emphasized, it is useless, but it is too much, and it is easy to have a sense of immunity.

The cultivation of military discipline in soldiers focuses on cultivating a sense of obedience. A soldier who makes obedience a habit rarely violates military discipline, because military discipline has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and become a part of life. When it becomes a part of life, military discipline is no longer a constraint, but a natural observance.

And obedience begins with standing in a military posture.

War is not bloody, but very cold-blooded, we need not to be arrogant or impatient, in the face of the enemy's provocation, the enemy's provocation, always cold-blooded, cold-eyed to look at the world, not to be carried away by anger, not to be lost in joy, not to be confused by the crisis. Only by staying cold-blooded can we stay calm, withstand all kinds of tests, and wait for the best time to attack.

Standing in a military posture is very simple, but simple does not mean that it is easy, and it does not mean that everyone can do it.

In the standing military posture, you can grind away the impetuousness in your heart, grind away all kinds of weak self in your heart, and only leave the cold-blooded self, just like that stupid chicken, looking stupid, but once you make a move, it is like a goshawk pounced on food, and you will definitely die.

In the beginning, all the three days were sheep herding, and there was nothing at all.

Three days later, there were barely two or three passes.

Five days later, there was a hint of it.

Ten days later, there is a kind of momentum like a pine;

And after 20 days, I finally have a feeling of not understanding the mountain. As long as you don't say rest, even if you have a knife and a gun, you don't care at all.

…………

And the whole army is practicing two things, one is standing in a military posture, and the other is standing for several hours; The same is the scattered star array, practicing against cavalry.

And the two complement each other, and the standing military posture is not simply standing there, not moving, like a dead man, but adding all kinds of "condiments". When standing, arrows often pass by, pass by, or brush your hair, or shoot directly at your body. Although the arrowhead has undergone special treatment, the iron arrow has been removed, and even if it is shot on the body, it will not die, it is just a pain, or it will not die, but after all, it is not comfortable.

At the same time, the cavalry would ride through and make all sorts of chopping movements, and the soldiers could not move a bit.

If you move your body even a bit, you're failing.

When training the Scattered Star Formation, one side is cavalry, the other side is infantry, the cavalry is attacking the infantry formation, and the infantry is using the three-star formation against the cavalry. During the exercise, the soldiers were wearing armor, with the advantage tied to sandbags and wooden weapons. The lethality of the wood is limited, but under the chopping, it still hurts on the body.

And for the sake of truth, neither side can fake, and must fight to the death.

After the exercise, the white ash marks on each other's bodies will prevail, and the winner will be determined according to the number of white ash marks on the body.

In addition to the daily routine training, some special groups also need to be trained.

After the night attack on the camp of Yan Lou's room, Li Quan and other 20 people made great achievements and won rich rewards. After that time, a special operations brigade was established with Li Quan and 20 others. It's just that this special operations brigade is very unqualified, and all twenty members of the team are illiterate.

The level of education is extremely low, which limits their ability to improve.

Zhao Pu had to spare part of his time to act as a teacher and impart some knowledge to them. I don't expect them to become talented and write good poetry, but I just expect them to reach the level of primary school students.
