Chapter 9 Formation of Troops
Yihu looked at the witches under the stands, and in their eyes full of curiosity, he continued: "Each regiment is composed of three divisions and one personal guard brigade, and every five soldiers are organized into a "brigade" under the command of the commander; two "brigades" are organized into a "shi" and are commanded by the commander, five "shi" (50 soldiers) are organized into a "platoon" and are commanded by the platoon commander; four "platoons" (200 soldiers) are organized into a "company" and commanded by the company commander; and five "companies" (1,000 soldiers) are organized into a "battalion" Four "battalions" (4,000 soldiers) are organized into one "regiment" under the command of the regiment commander; five "regiments" (20,000 soldiers) are organized into one "brigade" under the command of the brigade commander; two "brigades" (40,000 soldiers) are organized into a "division" under the direct command of the commander-in-chief; and a complete regiment consists of seven "brigades" (140,000 soldiers).
The three divisions are divided into three categories: infantry divisions, cavalry divisions, and offensive and defensive divisions according to their arms.
Infantry divisions are divided into light and heavy infantry brigades; cavalry divisions are divided into land and air brigades and are organized into army and air cavalry brigades; and offensive and defensive divisions are divided into offensive and defensive divisions, which can cooperate with infantry divisions and cavalry divisions to carry out effective long-range strikes, and can also resist large-scale damage with needles.
The light infantry was armed with crossbows, short spears, knives, serrated round shields, multi-purpose sabers, and wore silk soft armor.
The heavy infantry is equipped with throwing spears, meteor hammers, hook-and-ring spears, hook-inlaid square shields, multi-purpose sabers, and wears bright armor.
The air cavalry is equipped with a strong bow, a strong crossbow, a throwing spear, a horse lance, an extended version of the Mo knife, a "spell bullet" (under development), a "Tianluo Net" (under development), and a silk soft armor.
The cavalry is equipped with a light bow, a strong crossbow, a throwing spear, a horse lance, a refined version of the Mo sword, a "chain lock" (under development), a "volcanic net" (under development), and wears the Bright Armor.
The attacker and defender are equipped with a hard bow (pedal bow), a strong bow, a strong crossbow, a "spell cannon", a "ten-array flag", a Mo knife, a serrated round shield, a multi-functional saber, a marching bag, and wearing silk soft armor.
After arranging the troops, the next step is to set up the formation, there are nine military formations I have learned, namely: square formation, circle formation, sparse formation, several arrays, cone formation, goose-shaped formation, hook-shaped formation, lotus formation, and eight-door golden lock formation. Nine battle formations can be used in an unpredictable way, depending on the time of day. It can also be simplified, used independently, and domineering.
Phalanx: The large phalanx is composed of small phalanxes, which is called "the formation in the array", and should be "thin and thick", that is, the troops in the center of the phalanx are small, and the troops around are more. There are few troops in the middle, and you can bluff. There are many troops around, which can better defend against the enemy's attack, and the phalanx is a relatively balanced formation of attack and defense. The command and other golden drum flags are generally deployed at the rear of the phalanx.
Circle Formation: The Circle Formation is for ring defense. The Golden Drum Banner was deployed in the center and had no obvious weaknesses.
Sparse formation: The sparse formation is the evacuation of the battle formation, and the square array and the circle formation can be dredging into the sparse formation. The sparse formation increased the distance between the ranks, through many tree flags, weapons, straw men, and more torches at night, showing strong strength with a small number of troops.
Several formations: Several formations are dense battle formations, concentrating on defense and offense.
Cone formation: It is a battle formation with a cone of forwards, the cone formation must be sharp and fast, the two wings are strong and powerful, and the elite strikers can attack the enemy in a narrow frontal position, break through and cut the enemy's formation, and expand the results of the battle on both wings, which is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.
Goose-shaped formation: The so-called goose-shaped formation is a kind of battle formation that is horizontally deployed, and the left and right wings are arranged forward or backward in echelons, and the forward is a "V" shape, just like the arms of the ape stretched forward, which is a formation used to outflank the roundabout, but the defense of the rear is relatively weak. If the two wings are more mobile cavalry, then when stationary, they can get the protection and support of the infantry in the center, and can give full play to the power of the attacking cavalry to increase the suddenness.
Hook formation, the front of the hook formation is a phalanx, and the two wings are bent backwards into a hook shape to protect the safety of the flanks and prevent the enemy from attacking the rear command of the golden drum in a roundabout way.
Lotus Formation: This is a battle formation with three parallel configurations, with a small number of people in the middle and a large number of people on both wings, which is extremely flexible and changes a lot according to the enemy's situation.
Its big lotus package small lotus array is particularly famous, its method or first to fight with the enemy in a small array, and then out of the large array surrounding, or deceitful and lured chase, ambush soldiers, surrounded by the enemy. The changes in the lotus array are complex, and the magic of its use lies in the fact that the commander will temporarily command according to the enemy's situation.
The speed of its advance and retreat, opening and closing, only a few big flag bearers need to be skillful, and the whole army will rush there when the big flag is headed. Therefore, a military can command thousands of people with a few big standard-bearers, and there is no difference.
Each of the eight formations has eight small formations distributed in the eight directions around the central middle formation, and the center of the eight formations is the general, the golden drum banner, and the soldiers and horses directly under it, which is the middle formation. Each small array has code names such as heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, etc.
If the nine legions are all perfect, the nine army formations can be arranged, the formation of each direction is six small formations, the middle formation is sixteen small formations, the entire large phalanx has a total of sixty-four small formations, and there may be twenty-four small formations composed of rangers after the large square, a total of eighty-eight small formations, the mystery is endless, the blood of the army and the power of heaven and earth changes, even the saint should be able to compete with it with this blood evil eight gates array......"
Yihu had a thin lip and took a military lesson, impressing the witches.
Seven days later, the entire Wu clan was boiling again, and anyone who was over five feet old or over two hundred years old could sign up for the army's screening......
