Chapter VII: Formations and Generals
Cao Cao was unharmed, the morale of the army was settled, and the morale in the barracks was unprecedentedly high after Cao Cao broke the flagpole.
Back in the tent, the little gentleman circled around Cao Cao. He felt that the Cao Cao in front of him was no longer the Cao Cao he had when he first met, and the contrast he gave himself was too great.
"Hey, hey, if you keep flying like this, I'll be fine. We still have a little time, so you can give me a lesson quickly! Cao Cao leaned over the chair, grabbed the little gentleman with both hands, and put him firmly on the table.
"Are you Cao Cao I know?" The little gentleman stared at Cao Cao's eyes and asked.
"Of course! Who else could it be if it wasn't me? Cao Cao felt that Mr. Xiao was asking this question a little strangely.
"How did I see his shadow in you, you shouldn't have been taken away!" The little gentleman jumped up from the table, vigilantly guarding Cao Cao.
"Your imagination is so rich that even if he wants to take me, he has to see me! You took me to the special training space, and you should know better than me if he is in it or not. ”
"Alright! It's me who is overthinking. But your progress is so fast, so fast that I can't keep up. The little gentleman rolled his eyes and sat back down at the table.
"Thank you, I will continue to work hard. Let's get started! The last time you talked about the military formation, I was teleported back before it even started. ”
"Well, yes. Let's move on.
On the battlefield against the enemy, it is quite important to arrange troops. Different terrains, different military objectives, and the strength and weakness of the opponent will make us adopt different methods of arranging formations.
But before you can learn how to set up, you must have a familiar understanding of our services. ”
"Military? Do you mean infantry, cavalry, archers, siege vehicles? ”
"That's right. In flat terrain, cavalry was perfect for charging. The area with dense trenches and ravines made the auxiliary attack of the infantry indispensable for the archers.
Infantry, whenever and wherever they play a large role on the battlefield. There are many types of infantry, such as spearmen, shield soldiers, sword soldiers, special forces, etc.
Cavalry can win by surprise and have an absolute advantage in speed. However, this also limited the cavalry's ability to fight in short arms, and once the cavalry was surrounded by enemy forces, its survivability was much worse than that of infantry.
Archers, an indispensable class for long-range attacks. You can hide poison with arrows, or you can rain fire and rain in the sky. It is not suitable for charging or close-quarters combat, and its survivability is lowest on the battlefield and can be highest in the jungle.
Siege soldiers are only used in siege battles, and this special type of troops is rarely used against ordinary enemies.
There are a few other classes, but I won't introduce them here. In the future, when you are familiar with the battlefield and the use of these troops, you will naturally know more about other troops. ”
"I see what you mean. Arms are a single unit, multiple arms are combinations, and the cooperation between the combinations can form a military formation.
If you want to get the most out of your formation, you must master the best combination. And if you want to maximize the effectiveness of the combination, you must use a single class to the point of perfection.
Shout! It's not easy to arrange troops! This is still the most basic, different terrain and landforms need to be equipped with different types of military formations. This is a superb art, and it is the greatest challenge for the conductor.
Those who do not seek a corner are not enough to seek the overall situation, do not have a view of the overall situation, do not know how to be flexible, even if the soldiers are broad, they will be defeated! ”
"Very good! It's going to draw inferences! As long as you read more military books and practice simulations, you should be able to get started in no time.
Let's talk about the military formation first, calculate the time, you have been in the barracks for ten days, are you familiar with the generals under your command? ”
"You also know that I am dedicated to training, and the most familiar person in the barracks is Dian Wei. The other generals had only met and did not know much about it. ”
"You're honest. But you know what? Regardless of the type of troops, the selection of generals is extremely important. Even if a good general gives him a force of 100 people, he can also exert the power of a thousand troops.
On the contrary, if the general is a wine bag and a rice bag, an army of 10,000 people will be able to defeat you in the end, and there will be nothing left for you.
Let's go, I'll take you to get acquainted with them. I think you'll take them to heart quickly. ”
The little gentleman jumped up from the table and sat down on Cao Cao's shoulder.
"Let's go! Let the master take you to the point! ”
Cao Cao walked out of the camp tent, and under the guidance of Mr. Xiao, he came to the place where the infantry battalion was training, where he met a tiger general named Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun followed Cao Cao very early, and he was brave and good at fighting, especially the injury to his left eye.
Without disturbing their training, Cao Cao walked to the place where the cavalry battalion was training. Here he met Li Dian, who had the style of a Confucian general. A silver armor made him look heroic in the sunlight.
After seeing Cao Cao coming over, he rode on a horse and saluted Cao Cao, and after that, he did not interrupt his training because of Cao Cao's arrival.
Cao Cao nodded at him and left satisfied.
The sound of "whooshing" wind broke one after another, and a tributary meteor arrow from the shooting range continued to shoot out from the hands of the archers.
The archers trained by the archers in the archery battalion were Yu Ban, a very talented general.
"Do you remember all the people you just met? They are the generals you can use on this expedition. When you win this battle of the canyon, more generals will appear. ”
"No, it won't! According to the records in the book, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has a lot of soldiers! But why do I have four generals here? As for the strategists, I haven't seen one! ”
"Ahem, be careful with your words. Isn't that who sits on your shoulder a counselor? ”
"You're a strategist, too? Shouldn't you be my partner? ”
"Don't dwell on this, just answer whether I'm a strategist or not!"
"Of course, your wisdom is like the ocean, and I've only learned a little bit so far."
"That's pretty much it. For the sake of your acquaintance, I'll give you another chance to add a general. Don't rush to answer me, think about it. ”
"Xu Chu."
"Really? Really? ”
"Hmm!"
"Bastard! Are you so afraid of death? It's not enough to have Dian Wei, but also a Xu Chu! ”
"Didn't I say that? Life comes first, and fame comes second. ”
"It's really okay with you. How did I end up with such a partner as you. Ay! Thinking of my classmate, every day in the communication with me, he has to show his partner.
Cao Cao, when can you really become a hero Cao Cao! ”
"Why does it have to be a hero? I think the word king sounds good. I should be the uncrowned King, so that the world will not say that I am disobedient. ”
"Good luck, it's a pity that history can't be repeated." Mr. Xiao said regretfully.
"History can't be repeated, but in the world of athletics you can play out a different history. I am willing to join hands with you to open up the world of this competitive world, I don't know if you are willing? ”
