"We have about 8,000 elite cavalry. The enemy has about 30,000 infantry, more than a thousand cavalry, 2,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and one city. All in all, it is probably five times the enemy..." Fei Qian is about

He recounted the formations of both the enemy and us, and then said, "If we fight, what should we do? Each of us will decide on a strategy, and we will hand it over in an hour!"

From a certain perspective, if the opponent has formed a relatively stable formation and has a large number of halberds, spears, and shields, then it is not an advantage to use cavalry to attack the opponent's line.

For example, it was also a mountain battle. He could win at Dingjun Mountain, but suffered a complete defeat at Yiling. Lu Xun's northern assault tactics against Liu Bei simply took advantage of the complicated terrain in the Three Gorges area and could not hold on.

Limited by the terrain in the Three Gorges area, and perhaps due to the replacement of Liu Bei's own soldiers and the weakness of his elite follow-up, Liu Bei was ultimately unable to break through Lu Xun's defense, let alone lead an elite force to successfully attack the opponent's main formation, and ultimately reached a stalemate.

, the last glory was burned away by a fire.

For Liu Bei, his most profound problem was not his military defeat, but that he did not know what to do after victory, nor how to make good use of victory. It was like lamenting the tyranny under Mount Tai.

Like Confucius.

In history, even when facing an opponent like Cao Cao, Liu Bei was able to achieve partial victory by relying on his familiar fighting methods, but what happened after the victory often left him at a loss.

For the Shandong gentry and the Han Dynasty, the northern men represented by Liu Bei had the image of a country bumpkin after all, a warrior and "robust". They were not welcomed and could not be fully integrated.

In the end, Liu Bei was able to achieve a great career with his indomitable spirit and the spirit of repeated defeats and defeats, traveling up and down the river, north and south, taking Jingzhou and occupying Sichuan and Shu. In the final analysis, it was not because of any new breakthroughs in tactics in the north, but because of Brother Zhu.

In Longzhong, he pointed out to Liu Bei what should be done behind the battle, evolved from tactics to strategy, fixed the leaky board, and transformed the tactical victory of local assault into a three-legged world pattern...

As for Liu Bei now, that board is still leaking.

And no one can make up for it.

Brother Zhu should still be in Jingxiang now...

For an hour, which could be said to be long or short, everyone in the hall finally handed over their strategies one after another.

Fei Qian briefly read through the strategies submitted by everyone, smiled slightly, and then said: "Commanders Zhang and Li, please come forward!"

Naturally, Fei Qian could not say that he came to the martial arts hall just because he was idle. He naturally had his own considerations when he came to the martial arts hall. After all, he had Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others under his command, as well as the Xiliang cavalry. To a certain extent,

Shang Feiqian is almost the inheritor and promoter of Beidi's tactics.

This is a good thing, but it can also easily form an inertia, causing his generals to blindly use this tactic, and there is no guarantee when they will encounter the "Battle of Yiling". Therefore, Fei Qian must compare this kind of tactics

The weaknesses of large-scale tactics are once again emphasized...

Because at this stage, if the elite quality under Fei Qian's command is ranked second, no one dares to be ranked first. Therefore, as long as we play steadily and steadily, we can at least remain undefeated in the confrontation with a high probability. On the contrary,

If you blindly rely on military bravery and rush forward greedily for merit, you will most likely be like Zhang Liao. Even if you win in the end, you will lose your troops and generals.

Zhang Xiu and Li Dian looked at each other and stepped forward.

Fei Qian motioned for the two of them to stand on both sides of the hanging battle map, with Zhang Xiu representing Fei Qian's side and Li Dian representing Cao Cao's side, and they began to "talk about war on paper."

When talking about military affairs on paper, the most taboo thing is to disregard the facts or be divorced from reality. However, the people present are basically middle- and upper-level military officers who have rich practical combat experience and have commanded soldiers. Therefore, whether the formation of troops is reasonable or not, everyone has some opinions.

Steelyard.

Li Dian turned his head slightly and glanced at Fei Qian.

Fei Qian smiled and nodded.

Li Dian felt reassured and began to confront Zhang Xiu. To be honest, when Li Dian was writing the strategy for this simulated war, he was still a little uneasy because he felt that if Fei Qian and Cao Cao were in Xu County at that time,

If they really fight, Fei Qian may not have much upper hand...

At first, Li Dian was worried that writing this way would make Fei Qian unhappy, but after thinking and hesitating, he wrote it down according to his original idea, and also specifically noted why there was such a result...

Soon, Li Dian and Zhang Xiu came to the most important point of disagreement. Zhang Xiu believed that after the cavalry pull and the armored cavalry raid on Cao Cao's formation, Cao Cao's formation would collapse and disperse, and then it would be determined.

Victory.

Li Dian believed that Cao Cao's main formation would not collapse, at least not so quickly. Then the surrounding Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers would quickly pounce on them and form an encirclement. The one who would be defeated then would most likely be Fei, who was trapped in Cao's army.

Submarine…

The two couldn't argue, and the decision-making power returned to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian first praised the two men for their arrangement of troops and horses, and then asked: "If a certain formation is attacked, will you two come to the rescue?"

Zhang Xiu and Li Dian naturally patted their chests to express their attitude. Fei Qian nodded slightly, then looked at the other people in the hall and said, "If Zhang and Li are like this, let alone brothers and relatives? Let alone Cao Sikong."

How deceitful, you must be on guard. Captain Zhang’s surprise attack on this formation may not be playing into his plans!”

Then Fei Qian briefly talked about what measures he should take if he really wanted to fight. Simply put, he used the high mobility of the cavalry to attack like a knife cutting flesh. Cao Cao's only corresponding strategy was to shrink the array and compress the defense.

range, otherwise any protruding parts will be cut off...

Once Cao's army shrinks, Fei Qian gains more initiative on the battlefield. He can choose to invade the rear or wander outside. However, one thing is the same, that is, it is impossible to win quickly, and it is very likely to enter a tug-of-war.

The tug-of-war is not the outcome Fei Qian wants.

Of course, Fei Qian's final choice to discuss with Cao Cao also had political considerations, and naturally there was no need to explain these to these military academies. In the end, Fei Qian concluded: "The way to be a general is, before going into battle, you should first think about being undefeated and the rear.
