Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

On a vast training ground, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, making the earth scorching hot.

The soldiers in the vanguard stood tall, waving their spears.

Every movement brought about a whirring sound, and the air seemed to be filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

The leading centurion had a stern look on his face. Every time he thrust out with the halberd in his hand, he carried a tremendous force and went straight for the "enemy front-line soldiers" disguised as scarecrows.

The tip of the halberd flashed with cold light, as if it could easily tear the air apart.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the guard battalion roared in unison, shaking the whole area.

The sound seemed to carry a tremendous power that made the mountains and rivers tremble, and the earth beneath the feet seemed to surrender to this momentum.

Their eyes were burning with fighting spirit, as if they were determined to completely crush the enemies before them. Their momentum was truly earth-shaking.

At this time, Song Yanzhang stood aside, listening to Wang Chengyi's explanation and nodding constantly.

Sometimes he frowned in thought, sometimes his eyes lit up, and his expression kept changing with the soldiers' drills.

Song Yanzhang was born into a scholarly family. He studied under a great scholar since childhood and was well-read in poetry and books.

However, Song Yanzhang had a strong interest in military theory, which gave him a unique perspective on military formations and made him accustomed to analyzing problems from different angles.

"Attendant Wang, this battle formation is indeed brilliant!"

Song Yanzhang couldn't help but admire, and as he spoke, he unconsciously tapped his thigh with his hands.

“If it can be slightly improved and used on the battlefield of Shuozhou Guard, it will definitely give the Northern Yuan cavalry a head start!

However, although the long spears in the front row are extremely powerful, they lack flexibility.

Wouldn't it be great if we could deploy light cavalry on the flanks to coordinate with each other?"

Wang Chengyi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but applaud.

"General Song is absolutely right!

I had never thought of this. In this way, the military formation will be more perfect.

I said that discussing military formations with General Song always brings new inspirations."

Wang Chengyi was born into a family of military generals. He grew up in a strict military education and his study of military formations is deeply rooted in his bones.

On weekdays, Wang Chengyi not only has strict requirements on military training, but also pays special attention to the lives of the soldiers. The soldiers in the camp all respect him very much.

Zhu Gang looked at the two people's heated discussion and nodded slightly.

As a battle-hardened general, he experienced countless life-and-death battles while in Shanxi.

One of the battles in which he defeated a larger force with a smaller one made Zhu Gang famous.

In that battle, he led his soldiers to turn the tide of the war with his bold decisions and outstanding command.

At this moment, Zhu Gang subconsciously touched the jade pendant around his waist, which was a gift from Empress Ma to him.

Whenever faced with an important decision, Zhu Gang would unconsciously touch it, as if he could draw strength from it.

He thought to himself: With these two people helping me, why should I worry about not accomplishing my great cause?

After this military formation drill is finished, we will need to discuss it in detail.

How to integrate this military formation method with Qiaoyu's learning of martial arts and the search for lost skills to create an indestructible force for the palace and the Ming Dynasty.

The flanking phalanx being drilled at this time consisted of a thousand soldiers equipped with short swords and shields.

They moved swiftly, rushing towards the "imaginary enemy" like an arrow.

"Quick! Move faster! Maintain the formation!"

The captain of the flanking phalanx shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the playground.

When the "imaginary enemy" attacked from the flank, the soldiers on the flank responded quickly.

The shields were closely connected to form an indestructible line of defense. Each shield steadily received the enemy's attack, making a dull "bang bang" sound.

The sound echoed across the battlefield like the sound of war drums.

At the same time, the soldiers, holding short knives, shuttled through the enemy camp like ghosts.

The flashing blade was like a meteor in the dark night, and every strike was precise and ruthless.

Their cooperation is seamless: when attacking, they sweep like a raging tide; when defending, they stand like towering mountains; when transferring, they are as free and easy as nimble fish.

These actions made the "imaginary enemy" unable to defend themselves and confused.

While concentrating on observing the military formation drill, Wang Chengyi explained earnestly: "The flanks need to be closely connected with the vanguard phalanx and the center army, just like the meridians of the human body, so as to transmit information in a timely manner and coordinate operations.

Therefore, I specially selected men with flexible bodies and quick reactions, equipped them with short swords and shields, specifically to guard against outflanking attacks by enemy cavalry or infantry.

These soldiers have undergone rigorous training and have acquired super combat capabilities.

Look, Your Highness, they work together so well, as if they are one and the same.

Any enemy who attempts to break through their defenses would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating their own capabilities."

As he spoke, Wang Chengyi habitually waved the whip in his hand and pointed it at the flank phalanx.

Zhu Gang stared at the army formation with a focused expression, and nodded with satisfaction: "I have been on the battlefield for a long time when I was in Shanxi, and I know that the central army is the core and command center of the entire army.

They are responsible for coordinating the actions of all parties, and any move they make can have an impact on the entire group.

I wonder what is so unique about Attendant Wang's arrangement of the central army?"

Wang Chengyi raised his hand and pointed at the thousand soldiers equipped with bows and crossbows and other long-range weapons in the distance. His expression was serious and his words were full of confidence in the layout of the army.

"The Central Army must maintain a steady rhythm and precise command to ensure that the entire formation operates in an orderly manner like a precision instrument. Therefore, those who enter the Central Army are all low-ranking officers of the Jin Army."

After a pause, Wang Chengyi raised his voice.

"They looked solemn and their eyes were as sharp as torches, staring intently at the battlefield ahead.

These soldiers held bows and crossbows tightly in their hands, ready to fire. Each crossbow was like a giant beast with a fully-strung bow, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Once the battle reaches a critical moment, they will use bows and crossbows as sharp weapons and launch fierce long-range attacks.

For a moment, the pouring rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, just like divine soldiers descended from the sky.

While posing a huge threat to the enemy, it also adds a powerful boost to the frontal attack."

Wang Chengyi became more and more excited as he spoke, and gestured the movements of firing a bow and crossbow.

“In addition, the central army can adjust the tactics of each part of the phalanx in a timely manner according to the ever-changing battlefield situation.

Look, Your Highness, the commander of the central army is waving flags and issuing orders.

All the formations responded quickly, and the entire army was like a precision-operated machine.

Well-organized and meticulous.

Of course, if the guard battalion has soldiers with internal strength in the future, they can be sent to the Hongwu Military Academy for intensive training.

When they return after completing their studies and replace these low-ranking officers of the Jin army, they will definitely be able to further enhance the power of the central army formation.

I have been working tirelessly to improve the combat effectiveness of the guard battalion.

Just to help His Highness relieve his worries and protect our country."

When Wang Chengyi said this, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Gang.

Afterwards, he took Zhu Gang and his party to observe the training of the rear guard formation.

The soldiers in the rear guard phalanx were on high alert, always alert to possible threats from the rear.

At this time, the captain of the rear guard square shouted: "Everyone listen to me, the safety of the rear depends on us, no one is allowed to fall behind!"

The eyes of the rear guard soldiers revealed a calm and resolute look, as if announcing to the world: Any enemy who attempts to attack from the rear will be beaten to a bloody pulp here. (End of this chapter)
