Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 707 The Importance of Formation

  In fact, Fei Qian has always had doubts in future generations. In ancient wars, would battle formations really play such a big role? Is the victory or defeat of a battle really determined by the tactics of the battle formation?

  But with the understanding of the Han Dynasty and his own understanding of ancient warfare, Fei Qian has a deeper understanding of the meaning of the battle formation.

  The art of war of mankind is developed in fierce confrontation again and again.

  The primitive tribes started, perhaps because they competed for a field of wild fruit, and then the two tribes had a dispute, and they agreed to fight to determine their ownership...

  The war mode at that time can refer to the Young and Dangerous Boys in later movies and TV shows. Well, it’s almost the same anyway.

  But when such disputes progressed to the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots appeared...

  When a group of young and Dangerous young people who are extremely good at fighting in groups with big sticks saw the chariot rushing towards them for the first time, one could imagine the desperate mood of these young and Dangerous youngsters at that time.

   But the chariot is also flawed. This stupid big guy is not only extremely demanding, but also difficult to change the route of the charge. Therefore, the ground-breaking battle formation that can cooperate with each other and support each other has entered the stage of history.

  The three talents of heaven, earth and man.

  The name is famous, it seems to have the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, with its own BGM and the halo of the protagonist, but it is actually very simple, that is, the left, middle and right are divided into three parts.

   Later, infantry were added in the middle of the chariot column as an assistance, and it was called the fish scale formation...

So far, they have all followed the right path. The ones in the middle are usually the strong ones, and the slightly weaker ones are placed on the left and right wings. Everyone does this, that is, strong against strong, weak against weak. Everyone is Mr. Zhao, Zhao The master is a man of culture, with a positive attitude, don't be afraid of anyone.

But as the war became more and more fierce, a big boss who didn't take the usual path finally appeared. He seemed to belong to Zheng Guo, so let's call him Boss Zheng. Pulling so awkwardly that he couldn't move forward, and then waited for the strong soldiers on the two wings to defeat the weak troops on the opponent's two wings, then turned around and attacked the central group on the opposite side...

   This kind of formation that deals with the two wings first and then forcibly watches the center has a nice name, it is called the Flying Geese Formation.

Then more and more people learned the method of using the yin legs first in the formation, and everyone began to follow the "take the horse under the king and the horse on the other, take the horse on the king and the horse on the other, and take the horse on the other". You don't need to be strong in every part of the formation, you just need to open a hole in the opponent's formation, and then you can be a strong onlooker.

From then on, it was out of control, and all kinds of monkeys picked peaches and went straight to the next three roads. Anyone who is proficient in this way is called a master of the art of war. idiot...

  This proves that China has a long history of playing hooligans in war, and has made great strides forward and formed a complete set of theories when it was still a little behind in other aspects.

  The West didn't learn how to slouch on the battlefield until three hundred years later.

  With the further development of the Huaxia War, the chariots were covered with medals, and after the honorable retirement, the important responsibility of teasing the legs was handed over to the new young force, the cavalry.

  The cavalry with stronger mobility, strong anti-strike ability and impact and destructive power has officially begun to show its curvaceous and curvaceous side.

  After Ma Yan talked about Xiliang's cavalry, Xu Shu also felt a little tricky.

   There is no doubt that you can win a fight, but on the basis of winning, how to reduce your own losses and how to end the battle better and faster are the most important issues.

Niu Fu came to Hedong to grab grain and grass, so the safest way is to delay, let alone a month or two, even if it takes ten days and a half months, Niu Fu should jump his feet, either forcefully attack Anyi, or turn to go. The villages near Anyi were plundered, but this would be even more destructive to Hedong. If Hedong is really disabled, the sources of material support and daily necessities that Bingzhou can get will be greatly affected. .

  Saving Hedong is also saving Bingzhou.

Bingzhou has a small population base, and naturally some production and living materials are also scarce. Hedong has been stable for many years, and it still has a considerable advantage in this aspect. Now Feiqian has produced bamboo paper. Although the output is not much, the gentry in the Hedong area But he is a big consumer of bamboo paper, and he also bought a lot of daily necessities, and these daily necessities were also exchanged for animal furs and some cattle and sheep hunted by the Hu people...

  So it can't be delayed, but it can't be forced.

  If he and Niu Fu crippled his limited family property in Hedong, then what would he use to resist Xianbei, let alone go north to recover Shangjun and Yinshan.

  Xu Shu frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "Let's make an appointment first, and then..."

   "Appointment to fight first?" Fei Qian pondered after hearing Xu Shu's plan.

  What is the most important thing when cavalry and infantry fight?

   It is the initiative on the battlefield. When, how, and what to fight depends on the cavalry. Although Feiqian also brought some cavalry, it is slightly difficult for light cavalry to fight against heavy cavalry.

Flying a kite requires ample battlefield space, or there must be natural obstacles that can be used. The surrounding area of ​​Anyi is not a good battlefield. Moreover, Niu Fu's original strategic need is not to win Fei Qian, but to Obtain the food and grass in Anyi, so there is not much reason to forcefully pursue the Fiqian troops.

   Once caught in the tug of war, it is back to the origin of fighting each other.

   Therefore, being able to pre-select a position and then conduct a positional battle, which depends on the battle, is the best choice at the moment.

   "...This is a kind of countermeasure, let's make an appointment to fight first, let's see how to deal with it..."

   In the prosperous age, the more you don't follow the rules, the faster you will die...

   In troubled times, the more you follow the rules, the faster you die...
