Volume 2 The Hundred Tribes of the Savages Volume 4 Chapter 71 On the Army
The way of marching and arranging the formation on the Tian Yuan Continent is obviously different from that of Huaxia!
At the very least, with the Yuan Force cultivator, the command system can be more efficient, and orders can be transmitted to the military at a faster speed. If it is on the ancient battlefield in China, there is no shining command flag, and various combat orders can be issued in time. It can be said that on the Tian Yuan Continent, as long as the main general is still there, the military order can be sent to the army at any time, which is absolutely impossible to do on the ancient battlefield of Huaxia.
How much of a quick and effective command system can play on the battlefield, Kong Ming naturally knows the Tao very well, and commanding with the Yuan Soldier Order Banner is definitely worth learning from Kong Ming.
However, the soldiers and horses on the Tian Yuan Continent are not without weaknesses, don't look at the ten thousand-person teams on the school field under the command of He Muhua, interspersed with drills are very lively, but they are just some simple routines such as cross cover and side attacks, although it can be regarded as a coordinated operation between different arms, but the change of the battle formation is very simple, and a perfect system has not yet been formed!
In Kong Ming's opinion, if the changes in those battle formations on the battlefield in China were taught to these soldiers on the Tianyuan Continent, and then commanded in an advanced way like the Yuan Soldier Order Banner, they would definitely be able to shine!
So, while watching He Muhua practice military horses, Kong Ming had already begun to think in his heart, if his private army was initially built in the future, how would he command it, so that he could completely exert the power of the "Eight Formations" on the battlefield?
The "Eight Formations" is the culmination of Kong Ming's collection of many battle formations of the art of war throughout the ages, and it can almost be said that it has reached the extreme of the formation. It has an unpredictable power. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, no matter how Kong Ming trained his military horses, all the teams were proficient in the various changes of the "Eight Array Diagrams", but due to the inconvenience of the command system, they were unable to show the full power of the "Eight Array Diagrams".
Therefore, Kong Ming deployed the army with the "Eight Arrays" in the Three Kingdoms Era, and he must also take advantage of the geographical advantages, which can ensure that after the battle is opened, even if the command is not smooth, the foundation of the Eight Arrays will not change. It can show the power of the formation as much as possible.
As for now, as long as Kong Ming really has a way to convey the instructions quickly, then the soldiers and horses under his command, no matter when and where, can put on the formation of the "Eight Array Diagrams", and under Kong Ming's command, all kinds of magical changes in the Eight Array Diagrams can be displayed!
If you can really do this, even if you just give Kong Ming eight teams of 100 people, it will be enough to rival the army of millions!
Kong Ming thought of the joy. Inevitably, some eyebrows fluttered, and He Muhua saw it in his eyes. thought that Kong Ming was applauding his command skills, but naturally he was in high spirits, and he couldn't wait to show all the means he used to press the bottom of the box.
As a Confucian general, He Muhua is still quite concerned about the changes in the formation on the battlefield, and the soldiers under his command have also worked hard to practice, which enables He Muhua to command the army like a hand and an arm, and practice all kinds of changes. However, the war on the Tian Yuan Continent was different from the Cold Weapon Age in Huaxia. Individual martial arts can even decide the outcome of a war, which also makes the research of the Tian Yuan Continent in the method of battle formation far behind Huaxia, even a general like He Muhua who is proficient in this way has only touched the surface of the way of formation.
The change in the battle formation under He Muhua's command was really good in Kong Ming's opinion, and the only thing that interested Kong Ming was that. It is the advanced command method of conveying orders with the Yuan Soldier Order Flag. Of course, He Muhua worked so hard to show off, Kong Ming still wanted to express his kindness to him, so he applauded from time to time. And comment on it from the side.
How profound is Kong Ming's attainment in the way of formation? How old and spicy is his vision? Even if it is just a few casual comments, it also gives He Muhua great inspiration, so that his vision has been raised to more than one level, and he has finally barely come into contact with the true way of formation!
Later, Kong Ming often just mentioned a few random words, which would make He Muhua fall into a long period of contemplation, thinking about the corresponding formation changes, and even forgetting the matter of commanding the whole army to exercise. However, He Muhua's usual strictness of governing the army was also reflected at this time, because as long as He Muhua's order flag stopped moving, then the ten thousand troops and 10,000 horses below were all standing on the battlefield and not moving, just like they immediately turned into stone carvings and wood sculptures!
This kind of iron army, even if it is still in the initial stage of the battle formation, can still exert quite terrifying combat power! What is even more terrifying is that if such a team is equipped with some Yuan Force cultivators as sharp knives to break through, I believe that it will definitely be able to exert quite terrifying destructive power on the battlefield!
If you really want to compare, even if the soldiers and horses on the Tian Yuan Continent are not proficient in battle formations, with the quality of the individual soldiers who are far superior, they should be able to completely destroy the army of the Huaxia Cold Weapon Era! Not to mention that there is also the Black Feather Army, which is known as the strongest army in Cangnan, in the forbidden army, this is a force composed entirely of cultivators, with their strong combat effectiveness, why do they need any formations? As long as they push straight forward, who can stop them?
Of course, in the case of a substantial improvement in the quality of individual soldiers, if you master such subtle changes as the "Eight Array Diagrams", then the combat effectiveness that can be displayed will naturally be even more amazing!
As the exercise progressed, Kong Ming's thoughts had fallen on his private army, and He Muhua was also shocked by Kong Ming's remarks, and he no longer had any interest in rehearsing soldiers and horses, but ordered the flag to be collected and let the ten thousand-person teams of the drill collect their troops on their own, but he grabbed Kong Ming and said with a hint of excitement: "General Kong's comments just now are like an initiation, which is really sobering! General Kong, if you don't think the old man is presumptuous, please go to the old man's handsome tent to talk in detail, and we will discuss with each other, how about it?"
Kong Ming arched his hand and said: "Since it is what General He wants, dare to disobey his orders?"
So, Kong Ming and He Muhua walked arm in arm and went to the handsome tent.
The furnishings in He Muhua's handsome tent are very simple, without the slightest luxury, which shows that He Muhua is a character who is extremely strict with himself. The most conspicuous thing in the handsome tent is a sand table with a square size of several zhang, which clearly marks the terrain and landforms within a radius of hundreds of miles from Yunxia City.
With such an exquisite sand table as a reference, He Muhua can be targeted when he marches and arranges the formation, and can let the troops under his command appear in the most critical position!
Judging from the various circumstances after Kong Ming came into contact with He Muhua, He Muhua should be regarded as a generation of famous generals in the Cangnan Empire. Of course, this "famous general" is based on Kong Ming's comments, if the people on the Tian Yuan Continent are allowed to evaluate, then personal martial arts is the most important indicator of becoming a "famous general"! Therefore, only He Muhua, who has cultivated as a high-level general, can barely be regarded as a high-ranking general, but he cannot be equated with a "famous general"!
In the eyes of the people on the Tian Yuan Continent, at least a marshal-level cultivation must be qualified to become a "famous general", because a handsome-level powerhouse may decide the outcome of a war just by relying on his own personal force!
But in Kong Ming's view, no matter how strong the personal force is, it can only be called a "brave general", if there is no ability to coordinate the overall situation, how can he become a "famous general"?
Therefore, He Muhua, who has the potential of a "famous general", can be regarded as being able to enter Kong Ming's eyes, and Kong Ming is also willing to communicate with him.
He Muhua was still a little excited at this time, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, and asked: "General Kong, I heard you comment just now about 'encircling three queyi', which can achieve the effect of traitor more than non-stop onslaught, which really makes the old man's eyes shine, I wonder if General Kong can explain it to the old man in detail?"
Kong Ming smiled slightly, and said: "Fighting on the battlefield is originally a matter of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred! Even if our side wins a great victory on the battlefield, but a fierce attack around the enemy will only stimulate the enemy's desperate heart, and it will be more difficult to annihilate. Rather than this, it is better to attack on three sides in detail, deliberately exposing a gap, so that the enemy has the idea of escaping, so that the enemy army will naturally have no fighting spirit, and will only retreat in an orderly manner, and our army only needs to cover up and kill later, and naturally be able to exchange for the greatest result at the minimum cost!"
This kind of tactics comes from the sentence "besiege the army must be que, and the poor will not chase!" in "The Art of War", which can be said to be the common sense that every leading general knows the Tao in China. However, there has never been a master of the art of war like Sun Tzu in the Tian Yuan Continent, so naturally there is no such exquisite tactical theory!
Ordinary generals may not care about the importance of these tactical theories, but He Muhua, as a Confucian general, has always liked to study this aspect, but he has no one to guide him, so he can only ponder like a blind man touching an elephant. Now with Kong Ming's comments, it is like opening up a new world in front of He Muhua, which naturally makes him inexplicably excited, and he wants to learn more from Kong Ming's mouth.
In Kong Ming's opinion, it was just some superficial military theories, but it was like a sound of heaven in He Muhua's ears, and he was even willing to take the gift of a disciple and ask Kong Ming for advice on military matters. Kong Ming naturally would not be so supportive, but in the name of mutual exchange, he taught He Muhua some basic military theories, but even so, He Muhua benefited a lot, and many problems that he couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear.
In this way, the so-called invitation to invite Kong Ming to come and inspect the military post evolved into Kong Ming's military lecture, which made He Muhua, the only student, excited, and didn't feel the passage of time at all!
