Chapter 707: The Importance of Formation
In fact, Fei Qian and later generations have always had doubts. In ancient wars, were battle formations really that important? Is the victory or defeat of a battle really determined by the tactics of the battle formation?
However, with his understanding of the Han Dynasty and his own understanding of ancient wars, Fei Qian gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of battle formations.
The art of human warfare has been developed in fierce confrontations time and time again.
The primitive tribes may have started fighting for a piece of wild fruit land. Then the two tribes had a dispute and agreed to have a fight to determine their ownership rights...
The war model at that time can be referred to the Young and Dangerous in later movies and TV shows. Well, it’s almost the same anyway. The boss says hello, for the tribe, and then all the younger brothers follow, holding big sticks, and they just win.
But when such disputes progressed to the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots appeared...
??When a group of young and Dangerous boys of the Spring and Autumn Period who are very good at carrying big sticks and fighting in groups saw the big chariot rushing over for the first time, you can imagine the desperate mood of this group of young and Dangerous boys at that time.
??But the chariot also has flaws. Not only is this stupid big guy very demanding, but it is also difficult to change the charging line. Therefore, the unprecedented battle formation method that can cooperate with each other and support each other has entered the stage of history.
?The formation of the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
The name is resounding, and it seems to contain the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and comes with its own BGM and aura of the protagonist, but in fact it is very simple, just divided into three parts: left, middle and right.
Later, infantry were added in the middle of the chariot column as assistance, which was called the fish scale formation...
So far, everyone has followed the right path. The strong ones are usually in the center, and the slightly weaker ones are placed on the left and right wings. Everyone does this, that is, the strong versus the strong, the weak versus the weak. Everyone is Mr. Zhao, Zhao The master is a man of culture, so don’t be afraid of having **** sex.
But as the war became more and more intense, a big boss who didn''t take the usual path finally appeared. It seemed to be from the Zheng State. Let''s call him Boss Zheng. Boss Zheng distributed strong troops to the left and right, but the Chinese army was always dragging its feet. He was so nervous that he couldn''t move forward, and then after the strong troops on the two wings defeated the weak troops on the opponent''s wings, he turned around and surrounded the opponent''s central group on three sides...
?This kind of formation that first deals with the two wings and then forces a crowd around the center has a nice name, called the Flying Geese Formation.
Then this method of using the vaginal leg, which was the first to be used in the formation, was learned by more and more people, and everyone began to follow the rules of "take the king''s lower horse and the other''s upper horse, take the king''s upper horse and the other middle horse, and take The method of "the king is in the middle and the other is the horse" is used to cause trouble. You don''t need to be strong in every part of the formation. You only need to open an opening in the opponent''s formation, and then you can watch with force.
From then on, things got out of hand, and all kinds of monkeys picked peaches and went straight to the lower third route. Anyone who was good at this was called a master of the art of war. On the contrary, those who carried out war with an upright idea were made into What a fool...
?This proves that China has a long history of playing hooligans in war, and it has already made great strides in teasing and formed a complete set of theories when it was still somewhat backward in other aspects.
?It was not until three hundred years later that the West learned to lift the vaginal legs on the battlefield.
With the further development of the Chinese war, chariots were decorated with medals. After honorable retirement, the important responsibility of lifting the vaginal legs was handed over to the new young force, the cavalry.
?The cavalry, which is more maneuverable, has strong anti-strike ability and impact destructive power, has officially begun to show its graceful and curvaceous side. After Ma Yan talked about Xiliang''s soldiers and cavalry, Xu Shu also felt a little troublesome.
There is no big doubt that you can definitely win the fight, but how to reduce your own losses and how to end the fight better and faster on the basis of winning the fight is the most important issue.
Niu Fu came to Hedong to grab grain and grass, so the safest way was to delay. Not to mention delaying for a month or two, even if it took ten days and a half, Niu Fu would probably have to jump on his feet and either attack Anyi by force or turn around. Loot villages near Anyi, but this will be more destructive to Hedong. If Hedong is also crippled, the source of material support and daily necessities that Bingzhou can get will be greatly affected. .
Saving Hedong also saves 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 considerable advantages in this aspect. Now Fei Qian has produced bamboo paper. Although the output is not large, the gentry in Hedong However, he was a big consumer of bamboo paper and exchanged it for many daily necessities. These daily necessities were also exchanged for animal skins and some cattle and sheep hunted by the Hu people...
So it cannot be delayed, but it cannot be forced.
??If you fight with Niu Fu to **** your limited family wealth in Hedong, then what can you do to resist Xianbei, let alone go north to regain Shangjun and Yinshan.
Xu Shu frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "Let''s make a fight first, and then..."
“A 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 to fight, how to fight, and what to fight all depend on the cavalry. Although Fei Qian also brought some cavalry, it is slightly difficult for light cavalry to confront heavy cavalry.
Flying a kite requires ample battlefield space or exploitable natural obstacles. The area around Anyi is not a very good battlefield. Moreover, Niu Fu’s original strategic need is not to defeat Fei Qian, but to defeat Fei Qian. To obtain the food and grass from Anyi, there is not much reason to forcefully pursue the Feiqian troops.
Once they get into a tug-of-war, they are back to the starting point of competing for each other.
Therefore, being able to pre-select a position and then engage in a positional battle, which is determined by the first battle, is the best choice at the moment.
“…This is a countermeasure. Let’s make a fight first and see how they respond…”
In the prosperous times, those who did not follow the rules would die sooner...
In times of trouble, those who follow the rules will die sooner...
