Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Divine Machine Battalion

Huangfu Lesheng had heard Zhou Yi say it long before he set out on the expedition, and he had also carefully considered the pros and cons at that time. It's just that because there is no actual combat yet, I don't know the depth of it, so I don't care anymore later.

Now that Zhou Yi has proved the power of this tactic in actual combat, Huangfu Lesheng naturally needs to think about it. When a tactic appears, it will inevitably be learned by the enemy, and how to deal with it becomes the most important thing.

Teacher Huangfu's smile faded, and his brows tightened, presumably he was worried about how to crack Mangu's tactics! He is worthy of being the commander of the First Army, and his sensitivity to new tactics is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Zhou Yi looked at Huangfu Lesheng's expression, and after a little thought, he understood Huangfu Lesheng's thoughts.

"Teacher, there are two major prerequisites for this mangu tactic, or kite flying tactic. One is mounted archery, if you don't have good archery skills and horse kung fu, you can't attack from a distance. The second is the war horse, the endurance of the war horse must be strong, able to meet the requirements of long-distance running, the number of war horses is best one person and three horses. Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said, Huangfu Lesheng raised his eyes and looked over, and nodded in approval after listening.

"And the tactic of flying a kite is not omnipotent!" Zhou Yi's next sentence lifted the spirits of everyone present, in the eyes of Wuyang and the others, no matter how you look at this tactic, it is incomprehensible! Why did Zhou Yi say that this tactic was not omnipotent?

"The plains are invincible!" said Huangfu Le Sheng thoughtfully.

Indeed, this tactic is only suitable for open and flat grassland deserts and plains, where there is no danger to defend. That's why I insisted on fighting a battle outside Manchuan Pass, except for some forests outside, the terrain was flat, and it was very easy to develop a tactical formation. Zhou Yi bowed down to Huangfu Le Shengli and said, and he also admired him very much in his heart.

"Well, you don't have to flatter Ben Shuai, if it weren't for your reminder, Ben Shuai wouldn't have thought of it. The range of the cavalry's short bow is not as good as the infantry's longbow, not to mention the addition of crossbows, the light cavalry can only be beaten when they go to harass. Secondly, there are many mountains and rivers in the south of the Eastern Continent, such as the flat terrain around Manchuan Pass, as long as they occupy a mountain, the archers are helpless. Even in the plains, as long as the opponent is in the camp step by step, steady and steady, the archers have no way at all. Is what Ben Shuai said right?" Huangfu Lesheng figured this out, and naturally asked back with a smile.

The teacher is indeed wise! He is a veteran of the battlefield, and after opening the breakthrough, he will draw inferences from one example. Zhou Yi gave his hand in admiration, and then continued: "Teacher, such a tactic is suitable for the war against the orcs in the north of the empire, and the disciple is testing this tactic here just to test whether it is effective."

And what the teacher said about the invincibility of the plains is also a fallacy, and it is difficult to say that this kind of tactic is invincible in the plains. No matter what the terrain, the cavalry archers who rely on cavalry to shoot their might have no way to compete with the hoplites, and the heavy infantry not only has far more defensive power than the archers, but once equipped with longbows and ballistas, the range is not comparable to that of the short bow. This tactic cannot charge the enemy frontally, and can only win by luring the enemy into pursuit and chaos. If the enemy does not pursue, then it is only in vain, harassing and harassing the enemy, delaying the enemy's march, or sneaking up on the enemy's food routes.

That's why I say that the key to this tactic is two points, one is to ride and shoot kung fu, the range of the bow and arrow must be long, and the other is that the horse needs not only speed, but also endurance. ”

Huangfu Lesheng smiled and waved his hand, turned his head and asked Yan Junxia: "General Junxia, do you have a solution to improve the combat power of the archers?"

Yan Junxia stood up, bowed his hand to Huangfu Le Sheng, and then said to Zhou Yi with a smile: "Lord Zhou, listening to what you said, it really opened my eyes. I also have some thoughts, and I will refer to them for you to read in detail. If the Shenji Battalion is equipped with war horses, it may form a range suppression?!"

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded, yes! Why didn't he think of those Holy Dao disciples in the Divine Machine Battalion! The Holy Dao power they mastered could be attacked from a distance! Moreover, unlike the magician's lengthy and bitter spells, they were fast and had a long range! They were simply the best suitors of Mangu's tactics!

"General Yan, admire!" Zhou Yi stood up, walked in front of Yan Junxia and bowed. For those who have the ability, he admires from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha! How about it? Zhou Yi, Ben Shuai is also full of talents!" Huangfu Le Sheng laughed loudly.

"Teacher, General Yan's mention is indeed feasible, and it is far more powerful than the archers!" Zhou Yi turned his head and said with a smile, the methods that can increase his own strength are all worth trying.

"Well, there are 1,000 sergeants of the Shenji Battalion in the two major legions, most of them are talented and famous, and they are all under your command! This commander wants to see what kind of tiger and wolf division you can train these soldiers to!" Huangfu Lesheng directly gave an order, which shocked Zhou Yi on the spot. Zhou Yi knew how important this Shenji Battalion was to the Ninth Legion, a frontier guard like the Holy Academy, who did not like it. Teacher Huangfu handed over the Shenji Camp to himself, how should he value himself!

"Teacher, it's really difficult for a disciple to take on this heavy responsibility!" Zhou Yi bowed and humbly pushed.

"Hehe, you moved the Holy Dao in Nightingale City, causing the Holy Dao to roar, and the two county kings have already told Ben Shuai in detail. I'm afraid that only you can convince those scholars to obey you!So, there is no need to push, the ability must be appropriate!" Huangfu Lesheng smiled and once again exposed an even more hot news, even the three division commanders who had already known Zhou Yitian's genius were stunned by this news.

"The Holy Dao roared?!Great Grandmaster?!" Wu Yang stood up with a brush, his face full of disbelief.

"It's just a show of talent and fame, where is the great grandmaster!" Zhou Yi explained with an embarrassed smile.

"Where are the classics written by Lord Zhou?" Yan Junxia was born in the Holy Academy, although he later resolutely devoted himself to writing, but he longed for classic works.

"It's one of "Shi Shuo", one of "Three Character Classics" and "Disciple Rules", all of which are just enlightenment studies!" Zhou Yi saw their expressions, and naturally knew how shocking his behavior was in their eyes.

"Okay, okay! Zhou Yi is here, when can't he ask for advice! He still has a "Zhou Yi Art of War" that has not yet been written, and when Ben Shuai instructs him to write the full text in the future, you will naturally be able to get close to the water and get the moon first!"

After this discussion, Zhou Yi had no choice but to receive the order to train the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. Although Zhou Yi was only a showman, he couldn't stand his articles and classics and shake the Holy Dao! A group of down-and-out scholars, after seeing his "Shishuo," obediently began to train according to his ideas. Fortunately, there is riding in the six arts of scholars, and it is not difficult to train.

Two days later, the follow-up Six Banners also rushed to Manchuan Pass, and Zhou Yi arranged for Eight Banners to be stationed south of Manchuan Pass. While familiarizing them with the terrain, they continued to train, and as for the training, Yun Mo and Yue Feijie were in charge.

In this battle, the two participated in the whole process and had already comprehended the essence of Zhou Yi's tactics. As for the Shenji Battalion scholars, after conducting strong riding training every morning, he begged Zhou Yi to start explaining the two classics to them. The pursuit of the Holy Dao articles is obviously more attentive than the training of battle formations.

"Fifty soldiers with excellent tactical training in the morning can ask me three questions in the afternoon, and I will only answer ten questions for the others!" This is the rule that Zhou Yi set after seeing the situation of everyone. In this way, in order to learn the holy Tao scriptures, these scholars began to train with all their might, which made Zhou Yi so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Huangfu Lesheng also shook his head with a smile at his method, Zhou Yi grabbed the sore feet of these scholars.

"Teacher, the disciples understand the tactics you said, but the disciple's Holy Dao merit and literary rank is too low, and the attack poems are really lacking, I am afraid that it will live up to the teacher's expectations!" A Shenji Battalion soldier came to Zhou Yi after training and said, and after the other scholars came up and bowed to Zhou Yi, they also nodded yes.

Zhou Yi stood there and looked at them helplessly, since he began to explain the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules", these Zishenji Camp scholars are faceless and skinless to call themselves teachers, as if they were forcibly worshipping under their own door.

"What are you going to do to attack the poems? I'm very unfamiliar with the use of the power of the Holy Dao, so let's talk about it first!" Although Zhou Yi has passed the assessment of the Holy Dao, he really doesn't know how to use the power of the Holy Dao.

"Yes, teacher!" The scholars bowed down again to receive the order, making Zhou Yi's face twitch again, these guys are really shameless.

"When the sacred power is used, the recitation of the poem communicates the holy path, and the holy path that naturally comes back according to the intention of the poem will feed back the holy power of various attributes, and then we can visualize the form of the holy power in our minds. If it is an offensive type of holy power, you can visualize attacks in the form of swords, swords, spears, and feathered arrows, or visualize the appearance of a warrior to form a holy power sergeant in battle. If it is a state blessing class, you can visualize the clouds and mist blessings for a single person or an army with a larger number of people through guò sacred words or poems.

The group blessing-type holy power that the disciples now have is the words "Lin" and "Bing" in the seven-character holy word, and as for the single one, it is "a strong city is indestructible, and the mountains are high and the ravines are long." But seeing that the wall is there, he is also holding a shield. This poem.

As for the offensive type, it is also the empire's widely circulated "Battlefield River Pass Lock, Low Star Two Stone Bow." The night was cold, and the arrows went to the enemy chieftain. This verse can visualize feathered arrows. ”

Zhou Yi suddenly felt in his heart, isn't this the poem that Zhu Chengsi recited when he attacked him! I see, the use of holy power is indeed simple and practical, no wonder the people of the empire are eager for the holy court.

Zhou Yi lowered his head and pondered, searching for such poems in his mind, there are a large number of poems and articles in the calligraphy, and there must be such poems in them.

"Bring pen and ink!" After a while, Zhou Yi raised his head and said to Xu Huai beside him, Xu Huai heard that Zhou Yi was ready to write again, and immediately strode to get the table and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
