Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Eight

"I don't know how many points the battle formations that Chen Zhi has today can have, whether it is to practice the method of marching or to cooperate with the method of transformation. If he really understands the method of the first and second battle formations, even if he cannot let these martial artists learn it, we will write it down and take it back for some consideration. Maybe it can also supplement the military strategy at home."

Listening to Chen Zhi's words in his ears, Lu Jian and Gu En looked at each other and felt the same thoughts arose in their hearts.

At that time, there were military tactics, including planning strategies, leading troops, fighting formation techniques, and practicing methods, but there were very few descriptions of battle formations. This is because the military strategists are kept confidential and often passed down by word of mouth, so even military books have not recorded much.

Because of this consideration, Lu Jian and Gu En spoke less and began to listen carefully. Do they want to listen and see if what Chen Zhi wants to teach is a real battle formation or a brief summary.

"What is a battle formation? It is for the unity of the soldiers and generals. The military orders are reached, like the arm and fingers. In order to adapt to the enemy's situation, one's feelings, and terrain, facilitate combat, and there are changes in formations. The requested is for orderly deployment and close coordination. Therefore, the queue becomes complex and strict, which is very unfavorable to practice. I will pass it to you today. You must keep it in mind, so that you can change with me in the future!"

Listening to Chen Zhi's narration, even the many aristocratic families in Dai County could not help but pay attention, especially those who had great ambitions in their hearts, who subconsciously straightened their backs and wanted to listen carefully.

Many families in this county rarely started with military achievements. Even if they have one, they have minor achievements on the frontier and cannot be given a great reputation. Therefore, there is no inheritance of military tactics, so they don’t understand the battle formation even more. However, they are very clear about the benefits of the battle formation.

"Chen Zhi certainly won't teach the completeness, but he just let the soldiers and generals present cooperate, but it's better than nothing. I heard today and go back to imitate it in the future. Even if I can't understand the essence, I can only get the shape. Maybe it's useful, so that the martial artists in my family can become more and more brave."

Tang Zi, Liu Qing and others had such thoughts, so they also took a lot of attention. Regardless of other situations, they put aside their distractions and listened carefully.

But when I heard this, whether it was them, Lu Jian, Gu En, or even Yang Song and Yang Yuan brothers, I felt something was wrong.

"I speak so vernacularly, and you can't help but wonder. I don't understand the wonder of the battle formation. I might as well talk about the ability of the battle formation." Chen Zhi took a sip of tea and continued with a smile: "In our Youzhou, there was a white horse general named Gongsun Zan in the past. I wonder if you know it?"

As soon as he said that, the people below looked at each other, then nodded, and some people responded, but they were afraid of being punished these days, and the sound was not loud, so there were only a few.

Most of these Wudings were natives, or migrated from other places in the north. Although they had never read books and did not know history, they still knew some rumors about the local areas after listening to the oral stories of their parents. Who did not know about the White Horse General Gongsun Zan? After all, this matter has only been a hundred years.

Furthermore, Liu Bei had a good relationship with Gongsun Zan at the time, and several generals under him came from Gongsun Zan. After the establishment of the New Han Dynasty, he had a good reputation for this white horse general and was also famous.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "That's it. General Baima experienced battles of all sizes and big and small in his life, and rarely lost. One of them was the battle of Jieqiao. It was the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. Needless to say, the Yuan family was still in power. Today there was Yu Ze, and it was also powerful at that time. General Gongsun Zan responded with a square formation, and fought with a weak to a strong enemy. In the end, both sides did not decide the winner."

Everyone below heard this and nodded, and their expressions changed one by one.

Of course they knew Yuan Shao's name. After all, when the New Han Dynasty did not unify the north, the Youzhou territory was the commander of the State of Zhao, and the founder of Zhao was Yuan Shao.

Therefore, they subconsciously felt that Yuan Shao was extremely powerful when fighting with Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was weak. As a result, the weak could not distinguish between the powerful side, which must have used an amazing method.

Is it the battle formation?

"If this battle formation is used properly, the benefits are unimaginable. The Battle of the World Bridge is a field battle. Both sides clearly show the battle between chariots and horses and arrays. In addition to field battles, whether it is against the cavalry, showing the military power, or transporting baggage, they can all be fought. What I want to teach you today is the method of this battle formation, and how much you can understand depends on your own thoughts."

"This is interesting, as if he knows any military formation."

Gu En and Lu Jian looked at each other and saw that they were dissatisfied with each other's seriousness.

The battle formation of military strategists is actually a shortcut key to dispatching troops and generals. It can only be formed after repeated consideration and improvement by generations. It is the crystallization of experience and wisdom, and a method of knowledge and application.

For the aristocratic races, such things are the foundation for their survival and will not be easily revealed. So it is like the Mohist map and the square map, which is often secretly hidden. How much a person can master depends entirely on his own background and his personal understanding.

They did not doubt Chen Zhi's understanding, but they had to have doubts about the Chen family's background.

"The formation should be upright, with infantry and cavalry in harmony, and the formation of our Han Dynasty also had crossbow soldiers to follow, while the northern army formation responded to the fast horses of the Hu people, and there were often chariots and soldiers in the lineup to set up obstacles."

"The formation is very powerful, and the troops in the formation are also very numerous. Gongsun Zan's square formation has 40,000 soldiers, while Yuan Shao's formation uses tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhang Ti's formation has 37,000 soldiers, and Cao Cao's tenth level of formation has 5,000 soldiers, Tian Yu's round formation has 1,000 soldiers."

"The troops in the battle formation are also distinguished, including first climbing, the backbone, the rear of the hall and the flank. First climbing is deployed opposite the enemy's formation, that is, the head of the formation, the rushing formation is in it, and the recoil formation is also relied on; the backbone is deployed in the formation, Gongsun Zan took his personal army Baima Yicong as the backbone, and then inherited the formation, and the rear of the hall is as its name, and arranged at the end, so that the army can retreat; the flank is also called "side", which is deployed on the flank, which is responsible for covering one's own army, or attacking one's own side..."

Chen Zhi listed all kinds of battle formations one by one, accompanied by words and told everyone. In the influence of the tea-savvy effect, the people in the front row heard Chen Zhi's voice the clearest, so their memory was also clearest. I felt that every word Chen Zhi said could not only understand, but also remember it, which was much better than usual.

The people in the middle row sounded a little difficult. They had to rely on the cooperation of the people shouting from the audience to hear it clearly, but if you think about it in your heart, you could understand a rough idea and then remember it.

Compared with this, the people in the back row are even more inconvenient. They can only listen to a few words from Chen Zhi. Most of them have to retell the words loudly by the people in the audience to know the complete sentences, so they have great difficulties in understanding, and they can only barely remember some of them.

As for the edge of the last, if you don’t listen carefully, even those who retell it loudly will not listen to some of the sentences. Therefore, the content they remember will appear fragmented, and even the things they can remember are inconsistent with the preface. You can only barely listen to some of the logic and commands, and no matter how many they are, it will be difficult to touch.

People in later generations also have many records about today's incident, which mentions the relationship between the difference between the rankings and the difference between luck and number. This is a later story and will not be expressed in the present.

However, after explaining the various characteristics of the military formation, Chen Zhi did not stop, but took advantage of the situation to mobilize pre-warly and also talked about a formation.

"There is no way to retreat, and behind you are the fellow villagers. Since you left the line, you have eaten well, dressed well, and held silver. I am not raising you for nothing, but you need you to serve me! Work for Dai County! Protect your side! Therefore, you should learn the formation and form the formation to defeat the enemy and save your life!"

Simple mobilization is not a stimulating word, but plain sentences are piled up with real money and silver, because after entering the camp, these Wu Dings really felt the change in food and clothing consumption, which is much better than theirs in the main family, in the aristocratic family, in the aristocratic family.

Moreover, among this group of people, some relatives and friends ate military food in other places, so they knew that whether they were officers and soldiers or Wang Jun's private soldiers, their treatment was of great significance in the Youzhou area.

Because of this, Chen Zhi didn't need to say much, just talking about the treatment, which made many people's worry subside because they knew that the war was coming. Then the saying of the elders and villagers made them feel a little responsible.

Of course, the effect of persuading tea to learn also plays a role in it.

"This formation can be attacked or defended. You should keep it in mind and it will be useful."

Then Chen Zhi paused and suddenly spoke a key point of formation, saying that the generation of heaven, earth, wind and clouds, dragon, tiger, bird, and snakes was divided into eight middle formations, and there were many changes.

Just simply put it, Wu Ding below will remember it.

"Is it really necessary to teach the general's formation in this public place? Are you not afraid of being leaked? Moreover, what's the use of passing such complex knowledge on these mud legs that you can't even know big words? What if you end up being taken away by the Hu people on the grassland, wouldn't it be put before the horse and establish an enemy in vain?"

Behind Chen Zhi, Lu Jian, Gu En and others who were sitting and waiting looked at each other, and they all saw the scent of incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Previously, they thought that Chen Zhi wanted to teach the battle formation, to ask the team leader to come over and teach some key points, and then practiced it, but now when they heard this posture, they wanted to promote the secret techniques of the battle formation in public!

This is not a joke.

The method of military formation is also part of the knowledge monopoly. I don’t know how many people want to learn it but cannot be obtained. They are controlled by aristocratic families and are one of the fundamentals of the heirloom. Now they are promoted by Chen Zhi in public.

"What are his plans?"

Everyone was confused, but they suppressed their doubts, but as they listened, they finally heard a clue.
