Chapter 63: The Art of Battle Formation
Xiao Shi is bent on imparting his decades of accumulation to Azule in the shortest possible time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info first power tricks, then tricks, and then tactics. In Xiao Shi's opinion, although Azule is not a genius, he can also be called a gifted person, all knowledge is the first contact, but he can basically understand it at a glance. The cultivation of power and art was carefully instructed by Master Xiao, and as for the opposite of tactics and tactics, Master Xiao also knew very well that he could only achieve the goal of knowing as much as possible in a short period of time.
Xiao Shi was hesitating how to teach the art of the Azule Battle Formation, the tactics he collected in his chest were more theoretical and less practical, but they were more systematic, and even the inheritance of the art of war for hundreds of years and thousands of years, which was a very precious wealth. Of course, Xiao Shi also thought about letting Chen Tianyuan teach the art of the Azule Battle Formation, the tactics in Tianyuan's mind were all fought one battle at a time, and they were the accumulation and precipitation of blood and fire, and the only flaw was that these tactics were not systematic, and even some were petty or some drilled. After some comparison and consideration, Master Xiao decided to personally teach the art of the Azule Battle Formation.
Azule is still struggling to digest Xiao Shi's "Four Strategies of Strategy", in his opinion, these things are very reasonable, and even easy to understand, but they are too difficult to use, either they can't find a place to use them, or they don't know how to use them when they really encounter these situations. Fortunately, the master explained that he only needs to know more, and as for how to use it, he can practice and refine it bit by bit in the future.
Master Xiao began to teach himself new things again, and these things were used by the master as the art of battle formation.
The art of battle formation taught by Master Xiao is called the "Six Techniques of Battle Formation".
There is a general outline of the "Six Techniques of Battle Array", that is, "there are techniques in numbers, there are numbers in operations, yin and yang are rational, and opportunities are in them, and if they cannot be set, they will not be set." This means that the art of battle formation cannot simply be regarded as the number and number related to six, and the number contains strategy; the tactical strategy is coordinated and dependent on each other, just like yin and yang complement each other; and the design of tactics and strategy requires planning and timing, and it is necessary to fully consider the right time, place, and people, but the timing should not be too complete, and too complete will delay the fighter plane, and everything is in vain.
The "Six Techniques" are further divided into "Victory Tactics, Enemy Tactics, Attack Tactics, Mixed Tactics, Merge Tactics, and Defeat Tactics". Among them, the "first three techniques" are designed and used when one's own side is in a relative advantage, and the "last three techniques" are just the opposite, which are often the strategies used when our side is at a disadvantage.
The "Six Techniques" are mainly deduced from the six postures of the enemy and the relationship between each other, which are "rigidity and softness, odd righteousness, attack and defense, self, virtual reality, and host and object".
By judging the different situations, we decide which "technique" to use.
Azule also wanted to ask about specific strategies and tactics, but Xiao Shi told him that the "Six Techniques" were an approximate idea of the art of a battle formation, and the specific strategy was just like what was mentioned in the general outline of the "Six Techniques".
Xiao Shi gave some outstanding examples for Azule from the "Six Techniques".
In winning tactics, it is possible to use ambush warfare. The soldiers of the Northern Barbarian Grassland are good at horse warfare and raids, and if they fight head-on, unless they have similar horse combat strength, face-to-face combat is very disadvantageous to the soldiers of the Central Plains. Therefore, knowing the route of the Northern Barbarian soldiers, choosing the appropriate terrain, and attacking the enemy in an ambush will definitely lead to a victorious battle. However, in such an ambush battle, it is necessary to command flexibly and decisively, launch a battle at the right time, concentrate firepower suddenly and violently, and take advantage of the enemy's untimely surprise to strike bravely and completely annihilated. When encountering a strong enemy, if a quick decision cannot be achieved, it should be killed by fire, and then transferred quickly and concealedly.
In offensive tactics, you can use the strategy of encircling points to send reinforcements. It is to encircle the enemy's main target with part of the force, lure the enemy to reinforcements, and concentrate the main force to annihilate and reinforce the enemy in the movement. The aim is not to fight the besieged enemy, but to help the enemy.
Sho's teaching opened the door for Azul to understand and learn the art of battle formations, although before that, Azul never imagined that he would one day command an army, or that he would be directly or indirectly involved in warfare.
But what is going to come is always coming, and Azule forced himself to take the initiative to change his role, rather than passively accept it.
When asked how to use it, Xiao Shi's explanation was both vague and direct. In Xiao Shi's view, these "six techniques" are only the general outline of the art of battle formation, everyone will have their own strategy, or each war may use different tactics, or a large battle will contain multiple small or different battles, and what kind of tactics are used in what kind of battles are always different from person to person.
Xiao Shi's original intention was only to give Azule a general understanding, or even an impression, that at the beginning of the real battle, there was naturally a large group of people who specialized in tactics and strategy on the left and right of Azule.
The art of battle formation was not well taught, and Xiao Shi informed Azule that his mission here was almost over. Among the three techniques, it is hoped that Azule will carefully study and use the power technique, and have a general understanding of tactics and tactics.
Xiao learned about the progress of his martial arts from Chen Tianyuan, and designed the next step of learning and training plan for Azule and Liyuan, that is, to go to the secret guard training camp. The purpose of going to the Secret Guard Training Camp is simple, to learn how others protect others while learning to protect themselves.
It was the first time Azule had heard of such a place, but no matter what, his life seemed to be doomed since he entered Kestrel City. He may not necessarily have the choice and power, but fortunately, Xiao Shi told him that he could take Qingzhuo with him, because it was very safe there, and Azule could also take the opportunity to go to the place where he grew up on the grassland.
Azule told Qingzhuo the news, and Qingzhuo vaguely knew that such a place existed, but he couldn't access more specific and detailed information. For Qing Zhuo, being able to be with Azule doesn't matter if there are other difficulties or dangers.
Liyuan also got the news, and it was Chen Tianyuan who told him. Chen Tianyuan simply asked to go to a place on the Beiban steppe, where he could systematically get in touch with more knowledge about assassination, hunting, protection and being protected. The news that she was going to go far away was known to Li Jingjing, and Li Jingjing heard that Azule and Yi Qingzhuo were also going together, so they naturally made a noise to go together. Liyuan expressed his embarrassment at first, but his sister couldn't help threatening him by telling his mother, so Liyuan compromised. Liyuan and Azule went to find Xiao Shi and Chen Tianyuan together, hoping to take Lijing forward, otherwise Liyuan might not be able to go.
In the early morning of the third day, after the four of Azule, Yi Qingzhuo, Liyuan and Lijingjing changed their appearance, they followed a caravan out of Kestrel City and headed north.
