The glory of the results of the war made Lu Bu and other generals extremely excited, and the current army has reached the point of 30,000 at this time, and this time there will be sixty-four hours of rest time, so that there is almost seven days of rest and recuperation time, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity!

Once the 30,000 army can be fully trained, then it will play an unimaginable role, and the most important thing is to have more than 6,000 cavalry, so that the next round of enemy troops, even if it is 100,000 troops, has enough certainty that it can be broken in one battle, then when the time comes, the tenth round of the army will no longer have the slightest suspense, and the situation of this first level can be broken!

Thinking of this, the five generals are extremely excited, after all, if the first level can be broken, there will be a lot of points, and even everyone can buy an ordinary level exclusive weapon, this exclusive weapon, although not as powerful as the ultimate weapon, can grow unlimitedly, but even the exclusive weapon just got, it is enough to have a strong effect, compared to their current weapon is much stronger!

As for the exclusive weapon, it can be promoted to the third pole, so if it comes, the weapon is enough for them to use for a long time, and by that time they must be strong enough!

And besides, the first level has been broken, and there are levels below this, you can get points, so now the five generals are gearing up, once you can get enough points, and even break through all the ten levels, then it is an unimaginable harvest!

Although if you want to break through the top ten levels. It should be extremely difficult, but it is not necessarily impossible, once it can really be bigger. Then they must have made a great achievement!

Of course, the most important task now is to train these more than 30,000 troops first, although it is only seven days, but it must be enough to become extremely powerful and extraordinary!

As long as the training is successful, there is no need to train how strong and extraordinary, as long as you can complete the general's orders and lay out the required formation. Even if it is successful, the formation is undoubtedly an extremely powerful weapon for the generals of the Three Kingdoms. Although it cannot be trained to the point where it is like an arm and a finger to launch the art of war, then the formation can play a powerful enough role.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms, the power of the formation is extremely incredible. It is the victory of the weak over the strong. With the example of winning more with less, the sharpness of the formation is sometimes even better than thousands of troops.

Zhuge Wuhou burned Bowang, defeated Cao's army in Chibi, and entered Shu Xichuan to rely on the dangerous place, so that Liu Bei and the immortal hero Cao Cao and Sun Quan, who was in Jiangdong, fought against each other.

These are the great effects of the formation, which shows how important the formation is, so the nearly seven days is extremely important. As long as these more than 30,000 troops can be arranged in formation, relying on the sharpness of the formation. The cavalry commanded by Lu Bu is so useful, it can be imagined!

There are countless classifications of formations, and there are different types of divisions depending on the need!

The phalanx is the most basic formation of the army in the era of cold weapons. The large phalanx is composed of small phalanxes, which is called "the formation in the array", the Warring States period of the art of war master Sun Bin believes that the phalanx should be "thin in the thick square", that is, the center of the phalanx is less troops, and the surrounding troops are more.

There are few troops in the middle, and you can bluff.

There are many troops around, which can better defend against the enemy's attack, and the phalanx is a relatively balanced formation of attack and defense. The command and other golden drum flags are generally deployed at the rear of the phalanx. The wings are weak and suitable for attacking.

During the period of Chu and Han hegemony, in the battle of Jingcheng, Han Xin used a square formation, with water on three sides, to prevent the soldiers from escaping and the enemy's outflanking, and used 30,000 old and weak to defeat the enemy's 200,000 troops!

In addition, there is a phalanx, and there is also this circular array, which is for circular defense. The Golden Drum Banner was deployed in the center and had no obvious weaknesses.

The sparse formation is the evacuation of the battle formation, and the square formation and the circle formation can be dredging into the sparse formation. The spacing between the ranks was increased, and there were many tree flags, weapons, and straw men, and more torches were lit at night, showing great strength with a small number of troops.

Several formations are dense battle formations, concentrating on defense and attack.

It is a cone-shaped battle formation with a striker, the cone formation must be sharp and fast, the two wings are strong and powerful, and the elite striker can attack the enemy in a narrow frontal position, break through and cut the enemy's formation, and expand the results of the battle on both wings.

The so-called goose-shaped formation is a kind of battle formation that is spread horizontally, and the left and right wings are arranged forward or backward in 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.

Hook formation, the front of the hook formation is a phalanx, and the two wings are bent backwards into a hook shape to protect the safety of the flanks and prevent the enemy from attacking the rear command of the golden drum in a roundabout way.

This is a kind of false formation to confuse the enemy, the queue is very far apart, most of the flags, the drums are constantly beating, simulating the sound of troop vehicles marching, and the sound of foot soldiers is noisy, as if the army is huge, and uses various methods to deceive the enemy.

Of course, in addition to these common formations, there are also special formations, just like when the space of the Three Kingdoms has not been upgraded before, those fish scale formations, hook formations, charge formations, and arrow formations, of course, although these formations are a little special, they are not too powerful.

There are also various advanced formations on it, such as the Eight Golden Lock Formation that we have often heard of, and the variant formation of the Eight Golden Locks, just like the Eight Golden Locks Purgatory Soul Lock Array, the Eight Golden Locks trapping the enemy formation, and so on.

The most famous is even Zhuge Wuhou's gossip formation, this kind of formation is so powerful that many people are familiar with it, this is a really powerful formation!

During the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang entered Shu to pacify the Southern Barbarians, the main combat object of the Shu army was mainly Cao Wei's infantry cavalry combined troops, and the combat area was mainly mountainous, and Shu lacked horses, so Zhuge Liang rehearsed the "Eight Formations". The Eight Formations were actually formations that had existed long before the Three Kingdoms era. Sun Tzu has eight formations, and Sun Bin also has the "Eight Formations" chapter in "Sun Bin Art of War", and the eight formations are commonly used in combat training in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang proceeded from the reality of Shu infantry as the main force, innovated the real formation on the basis of the original ancient eight formations, drew the formation map, and finally formed the "eight formation map" to train the Shu army.

The so-called formation diagram is to draw the formation into a figure, draw it on the brocade, paper, on the ground or pile it up with sand and gravel to form an intuitive physical object, which is the formation diagram. Zhuge Liang's text recording the formation has not been handed down, and the eight formation diagram has been lost in the Tang Dynasty. However, it is said that Zhuge Liang once built stones to make eight arrays, and it is said that the remains of the eight eight and sixty-four piles of stones by the fish belly river are the eight arrays left by Zhuge Liang.

Modern soldiers believe that the eight formations are a kind of group phalanx, each of which has eight small formations distributed in eight directions around the central central formation, and the center of the eight formations is the general, the golden drum banner, and the soldiers and horses directly under it, which is the middle formation. 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. Zhuge 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, the two adjacent formations can automatically become two wings, protecting and supporting the attacked array. But the shortcomings are also 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 it is forward, and it is not allowed to run when it is backward. 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.

In fact, the strength of the gossip formation is definitely not as simple as modern soldiers guess, otherwise, Zhuge Wuhou would not have relied on the weak national strength of Shu to resist Wei for a time, and even in a state of strategic offensive, the wonder of the gossip formation is even more incredible!

And these five generals naturally don't know those peculiar formations, but the ten major formations are extremely proficient, and the other three countries' most civilized eight golden lock formations, the five generals are also extremely proficient, so the role of this formation is extremely powerful, so naturally they must train the army well!
