At this time, Qi Jiguang explained: "Your Majesty, these nights do not mean to show the equipment on your body!" ”

Emperor Wanli naturally understood it, but he still asked: "Why are there so many bits and pieces on your body these nights!" There are spears, waist knives, crossbows, short guns, and even ropes, flying claws! There are a few things I can't name! ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, this is not unusual! Because these nights are not collected, you have to swim alone on the periphery of the army, and you don't know when you will come into contact with the enemy! Therefore, they must kill the enemy as quickly as possible so that they can bring back the military information! Therefore, they are not conducive to a long battle, so the more equipment they have, the more ways to deal with the enemy! In this way, the most important military information can be brought back! ”

Emperor Wanli suddenly nodded and said, "I see! There are so many doorways in this army, I don't know! ”

The others also nodded again and again when they heard Qi Jiguang's explanation! Just now, they saw that there were too many things hanging on their bodies at night, and they felt cumbersome, but they didn't want these things to be useful!

By the time everyone watched the night and began to assemble in their original positions, the infantry of the first phalanx had already assembled at the bend! As soon as everyone turned their eyes, they heard the officer shout loudly: "Definitely! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the whole team of soldiers stomp their feet hard, and the team that was still squirming instantly stabilized! At the same time, the soldiers pulled out their swords from their waists and put them on their right shoulders! The shield in his left hand was also slightly lifted to protect his left chest!

Then I heard the officer shout loudly: "Okay! Then the team began to slowly walk towards Dianjiangtai! Before anyone arrived, the sound of neat footsteps had already arrived!

At this time, Emperor Wanli asked again: "Qi Aiqing, I have not been to the army many times, but I found that the orders in the army are mostly one or two words!" Is there any allusion to this? ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, there are actually no allusions here!" There are two reasons for this! One of them is that when the army gives orders, it must be concise and clear, and what can be said clearly in one word must not be used in two words! Because the battle array is changing rapidly, how can there be time for a long speech, so the shorter and clearer the military order, the better! ”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "I understand this, but what about the second?" ”

Qi Jiguang continued: "Your Majesty, you can think about it carefully, are all the military orders you hear open? ”

When Qi Jiguang was explaining to Emperor Wanli, everyone also pricked up their ears to listen to his explanation, and when he said this, it seemed that this was really the case! I can't help but feel a little strange! Emperor Wanli thought about it and said directly: "It seems that this is really the case!" Why is that? ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, the sound of killing above the battle array is shocking, and there are gongs, drums, guns, and cannons, and the sound is not clear at all if the voice is lower!" Therefore, only by using the opening tone can the voice be maximized, and the subordinates are not easy to make mistakes when receiving orders! Therefore, the orders in the army are mainly short and concise, and can be expressed loudly! ”

When everyone heard Qi Jiguang's explanation, they all felt that they had grown up and gained some knowledge! Just when Emperor Wanli was about to express his approval, he heard Qi Jiguang say loudly in surprise: "This, this, this, how can this be?" ”

Emperor Wanli was taken aback by him, and hurriedly pressed the handrail with both hands to look down, and said in his mouth: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

But when he looked down, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary! It's a phalanx approaching the point! Seeing this situation, Emperor Wanli said angrily to Qi Jiguang: "What's wrong with you? What to shout? What the hell is going on? ”

Qi Jiguang already knew that he had caused an accident at this time, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The minister accidentally disturbed the holy driver, it is really a crime that deserves death!" But the minister was so surprised, because those soldiers were able to walk all the way, and walked almost fifty steps! ”

Emperor Wanli looked back and saw the phalanx below getting closer and closer, and he couldn't see anything abnormal at all! He turned around and said, "Isn't it normal for them to go like this?" ”

Qi Jiguang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is completely different! It is also possible to let the soldiers and horses under the command of the minister march in a line, but it is definitely not possible to do it so together! But these soldiers are still very neat and tidy until now, and no soldier or horse in the world can do it in such a way! That's why the minister will lose his temper when he sees it! ”

Emperor Wanli turned his head to look at Liu Haojia in surprise when he heard this! He only knew that Liu Haojia had the ability to train soldiers, but he didn't expect the world-famous Qi Jiguang to admit that his trained soldiers and horses were powerful, so he wanted to see if Liu Haojia had an explanation, and if Qi Jiguang was mistaken?

As a result, he found Liu Haojia with a smug look, and he knew that this thing must be true! So he turned around and asked, "You get up first, and then explain to me!" ”

Qi Jiguang got up and stared at the phalanx below for a while, and at the same time said quickly: "Your Majesty, the first thing for the army to fight is the formation!" Because the current way of fighting is different from the past, there is no emphasis on personal bravery! So the formation of the army when fighting is especially important! As long as the soldiers can hold the formation, they can stand their ground, and they can fight the enemy! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli said impatiently: "I know this! I'm asking you why you're so surprised to see these soldiers marching all the time? ”

Qi Jiguang organized his language and said: "When the enemy and us are approaching, we must keep our formations neat and complete!" Because once there is too much protrusion in the formation, it will be hit by the enemy, especially at this time when they have no defense on their flanks, and they will be defeated soon! And the place where the formation is sunken will at least take a few more rounds of feather arrows than the others when approaching the opponent, and there will be more casualties and morale will drop very quickly! So when you pick up the enemy, the more aligned the better! And anyone who has been a soldier knows that those who can get out of the neat formation are strong troops, so when they see the opponent's neat formation and press over like a mountain, they will be frightened, and their morale has already weakened by three points without receiving soldiers! Therefore, when you are engaged, you can get out of a neat formation, and you don't need to be a whole team halfway, basically even if you have a chance to win! ”

Emperor Wanli only fully understood when he heard this, and he asked again: "Can the Qi family army under Aiqing do what you said?" ”

Qi Jiguang shook his head a little embarrassed and said, "The minister can't do it!" Now the soldiers under the command of the minister must stop for a moment every ten steps when they take the enemy, otherwise the formation will disperse! ”
