"Huh, this formation?"

When the first and second columns rode crossbows at night. By the time the arrow was fired, the night cavalry behind had already completed the change of formation.

"The Long Snake Formation?" Fulia said with a frown.

The long snake formation is a horizontal column, but this is a long snake formation vertically.

The night horsemen who shot the arrows immediately reined in their horses and turned around and galloped into the formation of long snakes, as if they were pawns that had already been set in position, and the direction of the gallop was very clear.

"This looks more like a fishbone formation." Armand told the truth.

Looking down from the sky, Anxi's night ride is like a black fish bone with fish flesh removed, the night rider galloping in the middle is the backbone of the fish, and the night rider galloping left and right is connected every three and every three horses, like a fish bone.

The reason why Fria didn't say that it was a "fishbone formation" was that there was no such formation, and the second was that this formation gave him the feeling of a long snake formation, which could echo each other in the front, middle and back.

He said: "Whether it is a fish bone or a fish bone, they ride into a whole every three times, just like the word 'product' in the Tang Dynasty, some are genuine, some are inverted, some are left-handed, some are right-handed, these 'products' are the three talent arrays, and the adjacent 'products' fit each other, and they are connected to each other to become the big three talent formations that can be attacked, defended, helped, trapped, and strangled, and connected like a long snake formation. ”

Neither the three of Armand know the military formation, it is difficult to say whether they can trap the enemy or strangle them, but it can be seen intuitively:

On the huge cavalry battlefield, the Anxi cavalry shrank on the battlefield in the middle of the plain, like a thick pillar with thorny edges rushing forward - what kind of fighting is this?

Armand wondered: "Shrinking the formation like this, don't you care about the Bronze Legion surrounding from the left and right, and then copying the rear formation?" ”

——Looking down from the sky, it can be seen that the formation of the two sides has now become a Tang character for "convex", and it is easy to push out this situation.

"Haydn Fa Guru is right." Flia affirmed.

Then he said: "This kind of battle formation is not in the book. In fact, the use of battle formations cannot be the same as that of military books. Just like the law, the same law, fighting with different people, the environmental factors of the battle are different, and the use of them is also different. The use of the battle formation should also change according to the shape, the situation, and the person, and this fishbone long snake formation is used here, which has two benefits for Tang Qi: one is to shrink the formation and reduce the attack surface of the Bronze Legion. ”

"Now the confrontation between the two armies is like the Tang word 'convex'," Flia used Tang language, and then turned into ancient Greek, "the upper pillar is the night horse, and the lower horizontal is the bronze legion, if the bronze legion does not change the formation, in addition to the cavalry in the center, the cavalry on the left and right sides will be shot into the air."

"As Haydn Dharma Master said, these two wings of cavalry either rush straight to the bottom and then copy the tail of the Tang cavalry in a roundabout way; Either rush diagonally and cut into the military formation of the Tang cavalry.

"This will put the Tang Cavalry in an encirclement, but there is also a second benefit: the Bronze Legion's attack is divided into different directions, which means that the Bronze Legion is divided into parts, and is no longer a whole."

Armand has a good idea of what it takes: less is more, you must concentrate your own forces, and divide the opponent into parts, so that you can have a chance to win.

"However, Tang Qi is also easy to be broken by the Bronze Legion Division." "If the Tang Cavalry can't stop the attack of the Bronze Legion, and is attacked by it, it will be defeated by the Bronze Legion; If you attack two or three, it will be even worse, break into the formation and meet through, and Tang Qi will be defeated. ”

He finally said: "Tang Qi must deal with attacks from several directions at the same time, which tests the cooperation of the three talent formations within the fish bones, and also tests the echo and cooperation between the fish bones and the fish bones. - So: Tang Qi should be a combination of formation and weapon. ”

Armand muttered: "With divine consciousness as the system, it is indeed an advantage to play cooperation. She frowned slightly, as if she had not finished speaking.

But she didn't interrupt Flya.

"There is also a disadvantage to this formation, that is, you have to face the formation shooting of the archers."

The mage regiment of the Bronze Legion did not accompany it - if the mage regiment was dispatched, the military cavalry battalion of the Anxi Army would also appear immediately, which would be unfavorable to the Holy See's calculation of more battles and fewer battles - but the knights were equipped with magic archers, these magic archers were also swordsmen, but they were good at riding and archery, and there was a four-foot-long magic pattern bow hanging on the saddle bridge of the saddle, and thirty magic arrows were equipped in the quiver bag, but they were not fired casually, and were generally used to shoot the cavalry officers and the most courageous cavalry in the Tang cavalry, also known as the sniper archers in the formation, usually galloping in the middle and rear of the square, waiting for the opportunity to shoot.

Fria continued: "In the first encounter, the strength of the Bronze Legion was not fully utilized, for example, the French archers did not shoot, it should have been a tentative attack. Now, the strength of Tang Qi has been figured out, and the sniper target of the French archer is also clear. If Tang Qi maintained the previous comprehensive charge formation, the French archers could only be dispersed in their own phalanx, but Tang Qi retracted the formation and vacated the positions on the two wings, which allowed the French archers to form a formation on the two wings and gallop back and forth to shoot Tang Cai's 'bravery'. ”

Armand nodded slightly, and said the unfinished words before: "This is cavalry warfare, unlike infantry, you can turn when you say turn, if the tail end of the Anxi army responds to the enemy, then you must turn to gallop, then the cavalry formation is divided into two parts that go against each other, how can this achieve the echo and cooperation of the north and the south?" - Will this tactic be advantageous? ”

Friya nodded and said, "Yes, so the cavalry formation does not have a long snake formation, and it must be the cooperation of light cavalry and infantry to list this formation." According to common sense, it is not good to split one's own formation. But now is not a battle within 'common sense'. If you think back to the battle of the light cavalry, the Tang army won by messy division.

"If the commander is based on divine consciousness, then the more divided and messy the battlefield is, the more beneficial it will be to Tang Cai. Because they have a commander who can command them as a whole, it seems that the parts are divided, but in fact they are divided into shapes and the gods are not dispersed, and they still cooperate and fight, and the essence of the array is like a rope connecting the parts. ”

And the Bronze Legion is so divided, without a commander to unify, it is bound to fall into a situation of fighting separately.

"This young man is very clever and knows how to take advantage of his own advantage and create a disadvantage for the other side. If you attack the disadvantage with your advantage, your disadvantage will be reduced. ”

Friya first exclaimed, and then expressed concern, "But fighting in such a split and commanding in a split means that she must control the whole field." If it was said that the divine consciousness had to be divided into a thousand realms before, now it must be divided into more, and the consumption of the divine consciousness is obviously greater. ”

The four of them were all wondering in their hearts: Could it be that in the future Grandmaster War, what else did the Tang people ambush?

The cardinal archbishop and the deacon of Tianyuan in the north are also frowning, if something goes wrong, it is a demon, and there must be a reason for something unusual to happen, could it be that the Tang people still have a secret hand, and they are not afraid of the grandmaster battle behind?

The cardinal archbishop and the deacon of the Heavenly Garden all passed on a divine sense.

In an instant, the divine consciousness of an innate mage came into their minds:

[Mindfulness].

The two of them wondered.

Is this not afraid that the Tang people have a secret hand, or the Tang people have no secret hand?

***

The war horses galloped and diverted, and when Frya analyzed on the high post, the Bronze Legion had already responded:

The knight in the middle still rushed towards the night rider;

The cavalry on the left and right wings also rushed forward, apparently to rush to the end, and then return to the rear end of the night horse;

The archers in the middle and rear formations turned around and galloped towards the back of the Knights from the charge space.

When the knights all charged, the French archers also galloped out of the formation, and then returned to the horse divided into two parts, galloping towards the east and west sides respectively, and galloped diagonally for two hundred and thirty or forty paces, already outside the range of the night riding machine crossbow, and galloped forward for a while, and then returned to the horse and galloped in the same direction as the night horse, and the French bow was already in his hand, and the French arrow was loosely attached to the bow, and as long as the target was found, it would pull the string and shoot out.

With these forty archers on both flanks, every cavalry in the Night Rider was under the long-range threat of the Bow.

……

Before the French archers galloped out of formation, the forwards of both sides had already entered two hundred paces.

In the next second, a gurgling sound sounded, and thirty winged arrows flew out from the front line of the night rider.

The knights of the first column swung their axes to block, but the dozen or so knights who were shot were still "diverted from the mountain" by the arrows, and the horse's eyes were shot by the arrows.

This is an ordinary arrow, there is no rune, but the horse's eye is shot by the arrow and loses its combat effectiveness, "Xi Yoyo" hisses in pain and stands up, some of them are so painful that they cover their heads and brains and rush forward, and the knight can only fall off the horse. Their minds were filled with the voice of the previous chief knight: "Defend the glory of the Holy See!" "Instead of turning and retreating, these knights stepped out of their charge, and charged at the night rider with their axes, apparently to fight with the knights of the second column on foot, and to specialize in the night horse's horses.

After only a few dozen steps, a second round of arrows came again.

More than a dozen knights fell from their horses.

By the time the forwards of both sides had entered thirty paces, there were already fifty knights of the Bronze Legion who had fallen from their horses.

The night riders in the first column all hung their crossbows, held their lances in their right hands, and crouched down to attack. The night riders of the second column shot crossbows again.

At the same time, the sound of thumping gunfire rang out.

The night cavalry at the head of the fish all lay down and shot at the night cavalry on the fish's backbone, the cavalry guns shot at the fallen knights, the front row fired shotgun bursting bullets, and the back row fired more penetrating one-headed bullets.

A dozen knights fell from their horses; More than a dozen foot riders died.

The guns rang out incessantly, and the arrows rang out one after another.

By the time the first column of cavalry on both sides approached, more than thirty knights had died in the Bronze Legion, and thirty or forty more had fallen from their horses.

……

The battlefield has been divided into two parts: the north and the south.

Before the night riders rushing south had even shot arrows, two-thirds of the fishbone formation behind them had already stolen and turned, and when they jogged from small steps to galloping, the two wings of the Bronze Legion had already rushed to the end, and they were killing from the tail end in a roundabout way.

The night riders on the north side have formed a wide cone formation, with horses and lances in the front and to the left and right, and spearmen in the front and crossbow in the rear. Before there was an exchange, there was first crossbow fire, followed by gunfire. When the front cone and the left and right flanks are engaged with the knights, the crossbows and guns in the middle focus on the knights in the battle. The knight knocked away the horse's lance, and avoided the crossbow and arrow, and probably did not avoid the bullet; If you dodge a bullet, you may not have dodged a crossbow or arrow.

The Bronze Horseman held his breath.

These arrows and bullets were fired at the empty doors of their bodies when their axes were slashed.

This forced them to keep two points of fighting spirit at any time, so as not to return their strength in time, and they did not dare to make too fierce moves, and their spirits were highly nervous, not only to fight with the enemy in front of them, but also to guard against the enemy in the enemy formation, which was equivalent to a knight and three or four night horsemen fighting at the same time...... Who is this who is fighting more and less? The Bronze Horseman suddenly didn't understand, why did they become besieged? Shouldn't it be them two horses and one ride?

This is the problem of attack rate, six hundred knights attack, but only two hundred and fifty knights reach the attack surface, the other three hundred and fifty knights rush behind, there is no attack surface to attack, and the attack utilization rate is only forty-two percent. On the other hand, the night cavalry, every cavalry in the cone formation was fighting, and the attack utilization rate reached 100%. In terms of actual attack, it became a night rider to fight more and fight less.

This truth, the chief knight and some intelligent knights realized, but the problem is that there is no way to change it if they are aware of it, because the number of night horsemen is smaller than them, and the formation of crossbow riders and spear cavalry galloping can be denser than them, so that the attack surface of the cone formation is small, and the cavalry is not like the infantry, they can rush up together, and the horses are too close to each other to hit their own people, even if the horses do not collide, their tomahawks will cut down the knights on the left and right.

Luckily, they still have archers.

Seven or eight armor-piercing arrows shot at the night rider at the head of the cone formation at the same time.

The night rider at the head of the cone is the regiment leader and brigade commander of the fusion realm, with the highest cultivation and the most courageous cavalry.

The French arrow flew at high speed in the air, but when it was five or six zhang away from the target, it was blocked by three winged wide cluster arrows, one arrow hit the front of the French arrow, and two arrows hit the middle and tail, and the French arrow was shocked to sway, but it could still fly out of two zhang, and then it could not continue to fall.

The night rider blocked the arrows with the crossbows and arrows of three cavalrymen, and only then did he break the arrow.

Other spell-patterned arrows were met with the same resistance.

The night cavalry felt that the magic pattern arrow was not easy to deal with, and the magic archer was even more shocked: to block the arrow with an arrow in the air, this requires very sharp eyesight and quite clever archery, even if there is such a clever archer in the night horse, but the magic pattern arrow not only has an armor-breaking pattern but also a rapid pattern, after shooting, they swordsmen can't see the trajectory of the arrow clearly, how can those shooters who are not in the fusion realm catch it!?

Although shocked to the point of disbelief, the French Pattern Archer obviously has excellent marksman qualities, that is, calm, sharp eyes staring at the cone head, and the French Pattern Bow has already taken a second arrow.

See if Anxi can block their arrows!

……

South Battlefield.

The Night Cavalry also became a cone in the shape of a fishbone.

The crossbows and lancers in the formation are all using arrows and bullets to assist the cone and the two wings to rush into the formation, and the long-range shots of the French archers are also broken by the crossbows and archers in the formation in three pairs, and the cone formation is unstoppable.

The expressions of the people of Fulia became solemn.

The Night Rider has seen death.

Of course, it is impossible for a cavalry battlefield to be without deaths, and zero casualties is incredible; However, the death of the Night Cavalry meant that the battle became more difficult and dangerous.

The Bronze Horseman also went crazy, regardless of casualties, one after another, and attacked the formation of the night rider in waves.

The battle was fierce and brutal.

The grandmasters who watched the battle from the heights were silent.

***

To the south, in the camp of the merchant group, Xiao Lan and the other eleven grandmasters were all listed at the front, standing in three columns on horses or standing, watching the battlefield from afar. Xiao Yan was in the second column, her eyes were closed lightly under the dark lenses, her mind sank into the void, and she didn't know the outside world, and the four grandmasters around her were faintly protecting her.

In her purple mansion starry sky, tens of thousands of stars are twinkling.

Those stars, each converging into the shape of a man and a horse, a lance, and a gun, moved rapidly on the black canopy.

It's like cavalry galloping across the land.

This is the cavalry battlefield outside.

The image was in her void.

Under the starry sky, it is her sea of knowledge, like a bright mirror, reflecting the cavalry charge above, not a millimeter.

The lotus platform has sunk into the sea of knowledge, and in the colorless and pure water, the lotus blooms so transparent and pure that its existence is not visible. There was only a fist-sized ball of light, shining with pure and condensed light, lying in the center of the lotus.

That was Xiao Yan's divine soul will.

Before the battle of the light cavalry began, her divine consciousness and divine thoughts had completely sunk into the Knowing Sea Lotus Platform, and she entered the realm of "nothing" under the will of her divine soul.

Meditation is meditation, and she closes her five senses and enters complete meditation, which is extreme stillness and concentration.

The purer the consciousness, the faster it will be to enter meditation.

Xiao Yan's divine consciousness is already pure, coupled with the fact that her primordial spirit has survived the catastrophe in the illusion realm and has experienced the tempering of pure yang purple thunder, the purity of divine consciousness can be said to be incomparable to the same realm.

So she quickly entered the realm of supreme tranquility.

To be quiet, selfless, desireless.

The soul is quiet and pure, that is, there is no platform in the mirror, there is no need to wipe it diligently, and it reflects the light of the sky.

The light of heaven shines from the physical world into the void world.

Tao said: Two heaven and earth, four yin and yang.

This is the fundamental mental method of the Daomen, and there are these two sentences in the "Cave Void Sutra".

Among the mental methods cultivated by Xiao Yan is the fundamental mental method of the Daomen.

What are the two worlds? That is, the void world and the physical world.

The Dharma body of a person is the void world, such as the Purple Mansion, the Knowing Sea, the Void Dantian, and the Void Meridians, all of which are the Dharma Body, the Void World.

The physical world is the human body. The human body, on the other hand, is a reflection of the rules of the universe.

In a word, the outside of the body is the big universe, and the inside of the body is the small universe.

The inner and outer universe is like the inside and outside of a mirror.

A cultivator is to look at the world outside the mirror in the mirror, and immortality is to break free from the shackles of the mirror and merge the universe inside the body with the universe outside the body. The laws and objects of the universe outside the body are mapped into the universe inside the body through the mirror, that is, the law is mapped, and the sky is seen inside.

Whether the mapping can be clear and whether the skylight can shine in depends on the mirror.

Obviously, polished copper mirrors are better than unpolished copper mirrors, and glass mirrors are better than copper mirrors. Because the glass mirror is more transparent and brighter, it can shine more into the sky, and it can also reflect the external objects more clearly. Therefore, the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism both said that they should cultivate the glass mirror.

The glass mirror is the Tao heart, divine consciousness, and soul.

The purer and cleaner the surface, the cleaner and brighter the mirror will be.

To quiet, to pure, do not stir up dust, why do you need to wipe, the light of the sky is self-learning.

The objects of the entire battlefield have become the internal experience of Xiao Yan's Void World.

The battlefield is an image, a man is an image, a horse is an image, and a weapon is an image.

All objects and images are clearly reflected in Xiao Yan's void world.

The power trajectories of these objects are connected by the twinkling starlight.

Strengths, weaknesses, and nodes are clear at a glance.

If a Grandmaster saw Xiao Yan's Void World at this time, he would definitely be terrified!

Such a complete and clear Tianguang internal experience, they could not imagine.
