Chapter 147

He just smiled, ignored Zhang He's thoughts, picked up the top one, and flipped through it casually. 【】

This is a book of "Eight Arrays", which talks about the way of marching and arranging arrays.

The role of deploying formations in wars in the era of cold weapons is quite huge.

When an army that can flexibly use its formation collides with an army that only knows how to charge and fight, even if the military strength is far apart, the result is obvious.

War has never been a place for one person to be a hero. In modern warfare, this is always the case when an individual's combat ability has been greatly improved.In the era of cold weapons, teamwork is even more important.

In a large-scale battle, if there is no formation as a support, it is a headache to command tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people on a battlefield.

At present, familiarity with formations can be said to be an important criterion for measuring the strength of an army. An army without formations is not called an army.

Take the matter of the cavalry cavalry to meet them just now, there are many ways in it.Not everyone can understand it.

Experts know the way, laymen are lively.

The team of cavalry just now, after rushing out of the camp city, split into two groups and passed through the two sides of the convoy.They did not stop at the first moment to protect the convoy, but still rushed forward and passed through the convoy.After passing through the convoy, they crossed back behind the convoy with considerable difficulty, and finally completed the purpose of turning around and surrounded the convoy.

This should fall in the eyes of laymen, so I can't help laughing.But I don't know that when a fast horse is running in a hurry, the most taboo is to stop suddenly.

The flexibility of the cavalry lies in its speed. As long as the horse does not stop, it can respond at any time; once the horse stops, it is necessary to ensure that the enemy is firmly under control.

With the purpose of encircling and not attacking, carry out a direct impact and encirclement; if the encircled convoy stops suddenly, even a well-trained cavalry cannot be completely sure that the horse can be controlled to stop abruptly in place. land.

Even if they could control the horse as if it were their own arms, what about after an emergency stop?

Stopped, doesn't mean surrounded!Moreover, the rushing momentum, after the sudden stop, is a sudden stop, and the forward momentum suddenly stagnates, which not only gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it, but also psychologically. Lost effective shock.

One goes down and the other goes up.Once the momentum is weak, it will give the 'enemy' a chance to respond and attack, thus losing the strength of encirclement.

And Zhang He's approach to that cavalry is precisely the most appropriate way to deal with it.Whether it was because the battalion head showed off intentionally, or they had always trained like this.From this point alone, it can be seen that Zhang Hezhi's army is not only strict, but also very strategic.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to govern the army without knowing the formation.And the first book on the case is a book about formations, which also shows that Zhang He is very concerned about formations.

I casually flipped through a few pages, only to see that the writing was relatively rough and superficial, and the explanation of the formation method was a little too simple.But it is also because it is simple and easy to learn that it is easy to learn well and learn well.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Oh. This book is not bad."

Not bad?

This tone, no matter how it sounds, is a bit pointing.

So Zhang He didn't sound so comfortable anymore, and felt that Su San was a bit overbearing.

Those who can give attributive terms to the book of war must first have something in their stomachs, otherwise where does the attributive 'not bad' come from?

"Young Master Su also dabbles in the art of war?"

"Hehe." Su San smiled and shook her head.

When Zhang He saw Su San shaking his head, he smiled inwardly. It's really unnecessary to ask, he is a genius, how could he know the art of war.

Unexpectedly, after shaking his head, Su San said, "I just know a little bit."

"Oh. Tea, please." Zhang He gave Su San a surprised look, and the officer on duty served the tea himself.

Su San put the book back and sipped the tea unhurriedly, um, it's really bad!

Zhang He took a sip of drink with him, and he still couldn't let go of Su San's words "I just know a little bit".He said, "Then I need to ask a question or two."

"Don't dare to do it!" Although he said so on his mouth, his face was full of confidence, asking Zhang He to ask for advice.

Zhang He started to think about it.However, he is cautious by nature, and he will not hawk until he sees the rabbit.

He, Su San, seemed to have a lot of confidence in speaking like this, as if he had read several military books, and felt that Su San should not be underestimated.

If the question is shallow, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask anything, and I will not be able to find out the depth.So I thought about it for a while, and picked out the most basic, the most cumbersome, the least attention-grabbing, and in fact the most critical "marching" matters, and came to "ask".

"Mr. Su is new to the Wuling military camp, right? Mr. Zhang would like to hear Mr. Su's method of choosing the location of the military camp here for the Wuling army."

"Oh." Su San smiled, put down his teacup, and said unhurriedly, "'Pinglu is easy, but the right back is high, and the former died and the later was born. Here is also the army of Pinlu." Today's Wuling army, with its back against Minshan, faces On the plains, you can dive down when you advance, and you can defend against danger when you retreat. If you can't do it, you can stay invincible if you escape into the mountain road or turn back to Wuling. .”

Zhang He was slightly surprised, but these surprises were quickly suppressed.

Although he couldn't tell which military book Su San quoted came from, but there are so many military books in the world, anyone who has read them can probably come up with some famous tricks, but to him, these are just rhetoric, just talking about war on paper.If you really want to use it, you have to catch the blind.

It's just that if you can say these things, you can be regarded as someone who has read some military books.This point made him admire Su San again.

In addition to reading the books of sages and sages, he still has the mood to read military books, and he can quote the art of war so fluently that he can just open his mouth.He also revealed that Su San had not only worked hard in the art of war, but was also a passionate young man who devoted himself to serving the country.

If that's the case, then you know a thing or two about that sentence, and coupled with Su San's status as a great talent, you can handle it so-so.

Thinking of this, Zhang He also smiled, and the entanglements in his heart were completely let go at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Su San didn't finish what Su San said, and only heard Su San continue to say, "It's just that Ning Yuan thinks that there are at least three ways to easily defeat the Wuling Army's Minshan camp."

"Ah." Zhang He stared at Su San with wide eyes, as if seeing a monster.

Su San wanted this effect, ignored Zhang He's expression, stood up, said with his hands behind his back, "One said: Potential; just bypass Minshan, take the official road, and attack Wuling directly, and this camp will be useless." Under the pressure of the situation, it is meaningless to stick to the big camp. The Minshan camp will be destroyed without attack; the second is: trapped; this camp is surrounded by mountains, and there are only two routes for travel. On the road, the Wuling army is just sitting there waiting to be killed; the third is: fire; there are many wooden tents in the camp, more longbows, more fire oil, and the camp can be burned. These three are all aimed at setting up camp here for the Wuling army. , each of which is impossible to guard against."

"Besides, Ningyuan still has 36 strategies in hand. Either they create rumors to distract the Wuling army; Lead the Wuling army out of the camp, encircle and annihilate them; moreover, counter-measures, continuous strategies. But if only one strategy is used, it is enough to make the Wuling army irreversible."

"Of course, the Wuling Army will not sit still. General Zhang is well versed in the art of war, and there is no way to deal with it. What Ning Yuan said is just a quick talk. If the two armies are facing each other, the factors that affect the war, It's unpredictable."

"There is a saying in the art of war: Soldiers are deceitful. Therefore, if you can, you can show that you can't; if you use it, you can't use it; if you are close, you can show it is far; if you are far, you can see it; Avoid it when you are strong, scratch it when you are angry, be arrogant when you are humble, work hard when you are lost, and leave you when you are close to you. Attack the enemy and surprise him. The victory of this strategist should not be passed on first."

"These are the thoughts that the commander should have before the confrontation between the two armies. In Ningyuan, the army that surrenders without fighting is the kingly way. A truly successful army depends on its strength, ability, and loyalty. It makes the enemy timid; it does not need to fight like an ordinary army, because no one dares to challenge him."

"If there is no such an iron army, it is not enough to prevent the enemy's peeping. Then the general must also remember that'the first is to attack the strategy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city.', before the war, there is no strategy; After the war started, there was no overall view, and it was not the actions of famous generals."

Su Sanyue talked more vigorously, and regardless of whether the topic went too far, anyway, Zhang He was already dumbfounded.

"A general is an assistant to the king. If the assistant is good, the country will naturally be strong. If the assistant is wrong, the country will inevitably be weak."

"The outcome of a war is often decided before the game begins; there are five rules: Those who know what conditions are suitable for fighting and what conditions are not, win; those who know the strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them flexibly, win; Those who unite as one, unite against the enemy, win; those who attack the prepared enemy with a well-prepared army, win; those who are out in the field, do not grant orders from the emperor, and do not hold their elbows, win."

"Therefore, it is said: Those who know the enemy and know themselves will never be imperiled in a hundred battles; if they do not know the enemy but know themselves, they will win and lose once, and if they do not know the enemy and themselves, they will be imperiled in every battle."
