Those who are fighting are all arrayed in front.

Any battle, generally between two armies or two people, of course, sometimes there are three or more people or more than one army between the scuffle, but that is a very rare situation, and as long as it is a battle, there will be a battle formation, because only in this way will all the combat power of an army be effectively exerted, and there will be no such phenomenon of each fighting each other, because only when it becomes a battle formation will it be convenient to command, not a melee.

On the second day of the first battle with the cow, Kong Ming followed Liu Cheng to train in the battle formation. The training of the battle formation is not a squad training together, but a team training together, it is not an easy task to find your position among more than a hundred people, fortunately, Kong Ming's position, coyotes They have long been left with Kong Ming, the last place in the team, Kong Ming only needs to go in. The formation is simple, there are square formations and circular formations, and there are some more complex ones that Kong Ming doesn't know for the time being, but the black wolves they won't either, otherwise the entire military camp will be promoted. When Kong Ming and the people in the class cooperate with the formation to practice, because Kong Ming does not understand some of the ways, he often makes mistakes, and once Kong Ming makes a mistake, the entire formation will be destroyed, and it will lose due coordination, and the coyote will often come over with one foot and kick Kong Ming into the air, but although Kong Ming was kicked several times, he couldn't avoid the coyote's feet, not the coyote's interests, but Kong Ming couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to go against the coyote's wishes, who made the coyote the squad leader and a nobleman? In the end, the coyote was really annoyed, so he asked Liu Cheng to take Kong Ming aside as a separate coach. Liu Cheng took Kong Ming to a corner of the training ground, found a place of yellow earth, Liu Cheng picked up a branch, the two squatted down, and Liu Cheng told Kong Ming about the simple square array and circle formation.

"The phalanx is a class of people standing in a square, there are eleven people in our class, it can become two columns, it can also become three columns, when it becomes two columns, Niu, Liang Zi, me, Hu Er and Zhao Xing, the five of us stand in front, from right to left are one to five, and the second column is you, ** , monkeys, ribs, and noodles, from right to left are also one to five, our first column is basically a strength type of swordsman, the second column is a sensitive type of swordsman, and the coyote is responsible for commanding behind us, whether it is forward or backward is to advance according to this formation, only in this way will not cause their own people to hurt their own people in the middle of the battle, the distance between people is one meter five, exactly the swing radius of the sword and people, so as not to let the enemy in, and your second column of people is to use their speed in the gap to kill the enemy, and when our first column of people fight for a whileWe will retreat to the second column, and then you will take over our first column and fight in front, so that we will have a little time to recover, and we will try our best to recover our strength and fighting spirit at this time, and carry out the work you have done, only the cooperation between the two columns can give full play to the strength of each person, as long as one person is a little weaker or relaxed, then the enemy may break through from there, and our side or back will be exposed to the enemy, so that we will die in a squad。 Do you know?"

"Hmm," Kong Ming nodded, "What is the squad leader doing?" Kong Ming then asked.

"The squad leader is the one who directs the whole squad to advance and retreat, and most of the time he can join the battle. As for the round formation, there are eight people in one of our squads, and three of them are inside, and the people inside are usually squad leaders or commanders, and the other two are supportive, and sometimes the magicians are put inside for them to kill the enemy, and we are responsible for covering, do you hear clearly?"

"Well, I see. ”

"Is it really clear?" Looking at Kong Ming's indifferent appearance, Liu Cheng was a little annoyed. "It's clear, it's just to cover each other, use each other's strengths, complement each other's weaknesses, and give full play to everyone's strengths. ”

Looking at Kong Ming's appearance, Liu Cheng knew that Kong Ming already knew the most basic intention of the formation, and what was missing was training. Bring Kong Ming back to the side of the training ground in the class, the coyote has already gone back, for him, this kind of training is just a formality, there is not much novelty and motivation, he can come once is already quite good, after Liu Cheng took Kong Ming away, he disappeared directly.

"You watch from the sidelines and see how we do it. Without waiting for Kong Ming to answer, Liu Chengcheng walked into the phalanx and stood in his position, "Start," After speaking, the people in the squad immediately entered the posture of battle, "Attack!" The people in the first column are all a split, five swords slashed through five flashes, and five fighting qi flashed out at the end of the disappearance of the traces, the farthest is Liu Cheng's reached four meters long, the nearest is a cow's, only a pitiful one meter, when their fighting qi has not disappeared, there are four more fighting qi from the gap between them, and when the four fighting qi has not disappeared, five more fighting qi flew out in front of the phalanx, and the cycle continued until Liu Cheng stopped, "See no." Liu Cheng said to Kong Ming, Kong Ming nodded, looking at Kong Ming's appearance, "Everyone take a break, wait a minute, we'll come back later." Under Liu Cheng's order, everyone dispersed at once, and each found a place to sit down and rest, while ** walked towards Kong Ming, "Kong Ming." ”

"What's the matter? You were very serious just now, and it's rare to see you so serious. ”

"There's no way, if you're not serious, you'll die as soon as you go to the battlefield, just forget it, there's no relationship between life and death, who will care about this thing. Well, you're finally ready to train together. ”

"It seems that you care about me very much, why haven't you said it before, if you did, maybe I could have reached the level of level 1 earlier. ”

"Haha," a few other people around were really happy after hearing Kong Ming's joke, "You didn't reach it at that time, and everyone said it in vain, otherwise do you think they will shut up?"

"Uh!" Kong Ming was speechless for a while, no wonder even Hu Er, who was closest to Kong Ming, didn't reveal a little bit of news to him, and he didn't train with them, so naturally he didn't know about the formation. "There is another aspect," Liu Cheng added, "because those noble lords like to watch martial arts very much, whether it is a single person or a group match, it is a method of entertainment for them, and the black wolf often likes to let the people in the team and other units come to a few games, so that those birdmen are happy, and once you know about it, it is not very good for your training, so I will let them not sue you." ”

"Did you go for a few fights?"

"That can or not, the individual is a regular thing, there are not enough of us in the group, and every time they remove their weakest people to fight us. Liu Cheng said indifferently. "Okay, after resting, let's start training, hey, brothers, let's start working! Stand in your position, hurry up, hurry up, hurry, cow, you run for me, don't hurry up, be careful that Lao Tzu doesn't give you food, starve you to death. Stand up, stand up!" After hearing Liu Cheng's command, the soldiers quickly stood in their positions, but Liu Cheng was still urging vigorously, "Start, attack, split, pick, exchange, block, squat forward and then split ......." With Liu Cheng's command, the members of the squad continued to make various attack postures, swapping each other's positions, or squatting down in front and sweeping the open space in front of them with their swords, and using their fighting qi to split out a different color of fighting qi in the back, (each person's elemental attributes are different, and the color of the fighting qi is also different) The fighting qi passed not far from the head of the person in front of him, or at the moment of exchanging positions, all the people slashed forward one by one, or the front block, the back stabbed the sword out of the gap, and so on, Kong Ming did not keep up with everyone's pace at first, but with the deepening of training, he gradually dissolved into the phalanx and circle formation in the class。 This formation, although it looks simple, but with Kong Ming's training, I know that behind the seemingly simple is everyone's little sweat accumulation, the most important thing is that Kong Ming thinks that this battle formation also makes a class of people more united with each other, because one of the characteristics of the battle formation is that when a person is fighting, he can rest assured that his back is handed over to his comrades, and everyone is doing their best to get the most results, this is the power of the group, in Kong Ming's view, if two groups with the same strength and the same number of people meet, and against each other, then the decision between the two will not be the individual, but the strength of the group, and the opponent is well masteredThe united side will surely become the victorious side, and the party that does not know unity will expose its weaknesses to the other party in its own battle, and a little exposure will be the beginning of a person's death, with the first, there will be a second, until the united side is all killed. As for the outcome of the defeat, this is not Kongming's concern, limited to Kongming's current mind, he can't think more, but from this lesson he already knows the importance of unity and the basic usefulness of the formation.

"Poof", sounded, when Kong Ming came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground, his whole body was on the ground, and he gnawed a mouthful of dirt in his mouth, Kong Ming stood up in a daze, looked at Zhao Xing who kicked him away, picked up the sword on the ground, rushed over, and slashed out with all his body, and a vague second-level fighting spirit flew towards Zhao Xing, only to see Liu Cheng was very happy in his heart, he hurriedly used his eyes to stop those who wanted to come up to persuade him, and motioned Zhao Xing to have a battle with Kong Ming. Sure enough, after Zhao Xing saw Liu Cheng's eyes, he also gave up the words of explanation and directly fought with Kong Ming. Because Kong Ming's thinking was still in the thinking of that battle array, he didn't realize that he was fighting with a third-level swordsman, but his fighting instinct allowed him to give full play to all his strength and fight with Zhao Xing, who was much stronger than himself, at this time, he was not so much a swordsman as a beast. Kong Ming continued to fight with Zhao Xing with the usual movements he didn't know how many times he had done, instinct was really an intuition that could be relied on in battle, in a kind of stormy and rainy attack, Kong Ming continued to integrate the fighting skills that he learned from the old headhunter and Kasia, and the use of fighting qi is becoming more and more mature, and the quality of fighting qi is gradually fading towards the second level that Kong Ming desires, and Zhao Xing is constantly using his skilled defensive skills in order to cooperate with this change of Kong Ming, and occasionally he will attack, so that Kong Ming's skills are more mature。 From the gradual overlap of thinking and reality, Kong Ming's combat skills continued to merge with his combat skills, and people gradually came to their senses, and when he was completely awake, Kong Ming suddenly found that he had become a second-level swordsman. Looking at Zhao Xing's cheerful smile and the ambiguous smiles of other comrades-in-arms, Kong Ming finally realized his position in the squad, the squad was the link that connected them, and the battle formation was a basic means to exert the combat effectiveness of the whole class, and unity and trust were the core content of the battle array.

Without too many words, Kong Ming gave them the same smile, because they were the same people, the same soldiers, the same people from the same place, speaking the same words, participating in the same training, eating the same pot, drinking the same water, and of course, for a war that they could not avoid, and the same threat of death that accompanied it, and they were helpless about it, because they were also not capable of changing the fate they were facing.

Re-arrayed, Kong Ming was finally able to dissolve into the battle array, and was finally able to reluctantly participate in the training instead of destroying the operation of the battle array. The whole class was happy for Kong Ming's joining, because Kong Ming's addition finally allowed the power of the battle array to be revealed.

In the blink of an eye, the training of the battle formation was carried out for three days, during these three days, Kong Ming was not only familiar with the two formations of the square formation and the circle formation, but he also came up with a triangular formation according to these two formations, but when he told everyone the idea of this formation, they all laughed, they were not praising Kong Ming's creative power, but laughing at Kong Ming's immeasurable strength, in their eyes, if the triangle formation was useful, the previous people would have used it a long time ago, no matter how it was, it would not be the turn of a country man like Kong Ming to come up with such a method, and it could not be used on the battlefield, which proved its uselessness, but Kong Ming still retains his own opinion, because he believes that a formation is good or bad, not because it is useless, but because it does not exert its power in the occasion that is suitable for its play, and every formation will have its shortcomings, taking square formations and circular formations as examples. The phalanx is suitable for the overall forward and backward, but it is not a formation suitable for attack, losing the tip of the attack will not have the ability to attack, but it focuses on stability and durability, and the circle formation is suitable for the enemy's siege under the insistence, but it is not suitable to get rid of the unfavorable shape shì when it is surrounded, and the triangular formation is different, although it is lost in stability, but it is better than the strong, under the leadership of a strong attack, it can fully exert its ability to attack, but once the tip is entangled, the soldier will lose the ability to attack。 As for why it has not been popularized in the military, that is not a problem that Kong Ming can understand and solve.

The training of the battle array is very boring, and only in the battle between the two battle arrays can its power be expressed, and only then will the problems of the cooperation of the people in the battle array be discovered. Kong Ming and the others are now facing the phalanx of another squad, and the two squads have to use the confrontation of the battle formation to train, of course, at this time their hands have been replaced with wooden sticks. Kong Ming looked at the phalanx opposite through the gap between the two people in front of him. Between the two phalanxes is a white horizontal line, separating the two phalanxes, the distance between the two sides is about fifteen meters, the coyote and the other party's squad leader are standing at one end of the white line, and there are several other squad leaders next to them, they are constantly talking about who the final winner of this battle will be, at the same time, they continue to report various amounts of silver or copper coins, Kong Ming knows that they are using this battle as a gamble, but Kong Ming has no way, he is just a small soldier, it is impossible to oppose this behavior of being regarded as a horse race for any reason, he is just a bad horse in people's hearts, for him did not save zài to discuss this issue, but to Kong Ming's surprise, the coyote discussed with Liu Cheng for a long time, and Liu Cheng also contributed some money, of course, Liu Cheng bought his own people and won. Afterwards, Liu Fen gave Kong Ming a few copper coins, but he didn't explain anything, because this was an unspoken rule that the entire military camp was doing, which didn't need to be explained and couldn't be explained. Kong Ming retracted his eyes, holding the wooden stick with both hands, Liu Cheng stood in the front row, looking at each other with his eyes, his ears were listening carefully to whether the referee's order was issued, but his mouth was constantly reminding the members of the class, don't let the other party take the lead, Kong Ming is the first time to participate in this kind of small-scale confrontation training, and he is a little nervous in his heart, after all, this is not the same as personal warfare, for strange things, human beings always have a little mystery in their subconscious, a little excited or afraid. Sweat soaked the palms, eyes staring at each other, eyes slowly became a little sharp, releasing a trace of fine light, ears pricked up, listening to Liu Cheng's password, the heavy and nervous breathing sound of his partners, feeling the vibration of his heartbeat, the brain has changed from a trace of chaos at the beginning, to gradually become clear, the blood in the blood vessels seems to be burning, and the pores on the skin seem to be opened. When the referee's gesture was quickly cut down, Liu Cheng shouted "charge" , Two sounds, Kong Ming did not hesitate, as the people in the class rushed to each other together, the other party walked forward step by step, when only about five meters away from the opponent, the members of the first column made a splitting action, and the five fighting spirits flew to the opponent, and the members of the first column flew out of the first column of the fighting spirit also stopped in front, and the members of the second column such as Kong Ming collectively jumped up from the gap of the front team members, and from a high altitude, the fighting spirit was accompanied by a wooden stick smashed to the opponent's first column of players, after the other party saw the charge of Kong Ming and others, he already understood that Liu Cheng planned to check the calculation of a quick battle, so he just moved forward step by step, When they saw the first wave of fighting energy, they opened the fighting energy cover, and used some small skills to greatly reduce the power of Liu Cheng and others' fighting energy, when they saw Kong Ming and others slashing from above, they used the blocking of sword skills, and injected the fighting energy into the wooden stick, Liu Cheng and their fighting energy were all scattered, and at the same time blocked the attack of Kong Ming and others, but this was not over, after blocking the impact of Kong Ming and others, their second column of team members stabbed at Kong Ming from the gap in the first column A straight stab to Kong Ming them, Kong Ming They used the strength of the other party to retreat back, however, the opponent of the noodles did not block his attack like others, but followed the attack of the noodles and took a step back, so that when the four of Kong Ming withdrew, they left him to the other party, before Liu Cheng and they reacted, the four people in front of the noodles knocked the noodles to the ground together, and the noodles completely lost their combat effectiveness, but the disadvantage was not only this, the noodles just fell in front of the phalanx in the class, in this way, Liu Cheng and Kong Ming They no longer dared to advance, because at this time, the advance either stepped on the noodles to advance, or bypassed the noodles to advance, no matter which one, the battle formation in the class has lost the favorable position of the battle formation, in a way, Kong Ming They have lost, Because they have all lost the most advantageous way to fight in the group, but Kong Ming they did not give up, Liu Cheng kicked the noodles that fell to the ground out of the gap in the battle formation, and the other four people in front of them were paying attention to the opponent's movements, but obviously the other party did not take the opportunity to shoot, after watching Liu Cheng and others stabilize their positions, they finally made a move, but they did not attack Liu Cheng and others one-on-one, the attacks of the ten of them were all focused on Liu Cheng's body, seeing this situation, the five people in front of them were each on one of their corresponding positions, and the sword was also split from the bottom to the top, and Liu Cheng in the middle is even more at the middle of the opponent to use all his strength to defuse the opponent's attack, but obviously the other party has grasped the opportunity very well this time, Kong Ming and Liu Cheng are on the same line, and the four people in the class with strong attack power are blocked by them and cannot support the battle in front, so that although Kong Ming and they took the attack of the five people in front of the other party, they could not defeat the second round of the opponent's attack, because the ability between them is not much different after all, which is not enough for them to be one against two, and at this time, the other party's arrangement has produced a very good effectAt the same time that the five of Kong Ming caught their attack from the first column, the attack of the second column also arrived, and Kong Ming and the others were already unable to defuse the other party's attack, ** , Monkey, ribs were directly swept out of the battle formation by them, although they can still fight, but according to the rules, they have lost the qualification to continue fighting, and Kong Ming is relying on the capital that has been ravaged by Kasia many times, and at the critical time, he put the wooden stick in front of him, and blocked this attack, but he was also repelled a few steps, blocking the way of the cow, and Liu Cheng completely became the prey of the other party, with one enemy ten, before Liang Zi and they came up, they were blocked out of the battle formation by the other party, and then the rest of the people were defeated by the other party without any suspense。 Looking at the other party's celebration, Kong Ming and the others really couldn't be happy, after all, their happiness was based on their own pain, Liu Cheng looked at the lost appearance of Kong Ming and the others, and squeezed out a smile from his face, "It doesn't matter, victory and defeat are commonplace, and there will be a chance in the future, go." After saying that, he turned around and walked back, Kong Ming looked at the other party, shook his head, and walked with everyone. On the way back, no one went to review their mistakes, most of the words were to emphasize the treachery of the enemy, if how, then it must be our words that won, Kong Ming was speechless, this was his first battle formation, what he was thinking about was the fighting method expressed in the process of fighting between the two sides, the two groups of people with little difference in ability, under the leadership of different people, through different methods, achieved different results, what is the reason? Why is there such a big difference, and the expressions of each member in this process are also different, like noodles being put down by someone as soon as they look at the noodles, and they can still protect themselves in a hurry, and Liu Cheng did not play the responsibility of a conductor in the whole process, and he can't command because of the form, what is the reason for this? This question has been pestering Kong Ming since the end of the comparison, but after dinner, Kong Ming completely gave up thinking about such uselessness, and turned to improving his combat ability, because of Liu Cheng's words, "Today's defeat is due to someone being put down by the other party as soon as they met." Although Kong Ming is very opposed to this kind of prevarication, it is undeniable that this is also one of the factors in the failure of this comparison. And from another point of view, Kong Ming also realized this, that is, why the five attacked together, leaving Kong Ming to still fight, and the others were swept out of the battle formation, because although their level is high, the combat experience is not as rich as Kong Ming, they practice some basic movements all day long, and Kong Ming has been ravaged by Kasia many times, which also directly pours to the improvement of Kong Ming's combat level, which may be a side effect that Kong Ming did not expect.
