Chapter 76: Doubts in Ghost Valley (2)

Is there really such a genius in the world? Guiguzi was a little unbelievable and continued to tentatively: "Does it be? My teacher thought that the bamboo gun array and stone trencher were the secrets of the family created by his grandson in his later years. It seems that although Bo Ling is young, his talent is already catching up with his ancestors. The Soldier Saint has a spirit in the sky, which is enough to be relieved."

It's broken! Sun Bin, who realized it later, realized that as a young man, he said how abrupt it would be to invent a large killer such as the Macedonian square formation and the torque trench.

Guiguzi obviously doubted him.

It’s hard, this emotional intelligence is really not enough to be trained. Sun Bin complained secretly, but he quickly thought about it. Fortunately, this guy was smart and pretended to be embarrassed and said, “In fact, these two things are indeed inspired by our ancestors. When our ancestors passed away, only the first draft of these two things was left behind, which was obviously not perfected. After the disciples studied it carefully for several years, they slowly picked up the leftovers and improved them.”

Since there was a famous ancestor, Sun Bin directly brought it to the tank. Anyway, it was a family, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Is that true?" But Guiguzi was not easy to fool, and said with a smile: "Can Bo Ling talk to his master carefully? For example, this bamboo gun formation is very interesting."

"Uh, okay." Sun Bin was a little overwhelmed and knew that he would not shake out some real people. He was afraid that he would not be able to pass this time, so he had to think about it: "For example, this bamboo gun array is not a **, but a part of a large formation. The basic idea of ​​the ancestors was as follows: a spear array similar to a bamboo gun array is the main body, the main attack; a crossbow team is the rear team, which is the main attack; a long-range attack; a left and right wing are supplemented by light troops and the main defense, and protecting the spear array from the enemy's flank attack."

Guiguzi was puzzled after hearing this: "This idea should be perfect, but where is there any shortcomings?"

"There are too many shortcomings." Sun Bin pointed out incisively: "First of all, the mobility is poor and the ability to adapt. As the main array, when attacking, it will naturally advance like a wall. All those who are in the meantime must be kept in shape at all times, and it is difficult to cope with the ever-changing changes in the enemy situation."

"For example, once the enemy is defeated, the spear formation cannot carry out effective rapid pursuit at all. Once it is chased, it will be messed up, and it will be easily defeated by the enemy in a mess. This will lead to a great expansion of the results of the battle and will give the enemy a chance to breathe."

"Secondly, compared to the invincible main formation, the light troops on both wings are undoubtedly a weakness. If the enemy adopts a strategy of feinting the front and attacking the two wings, the light troops on both wings may not be able to withstand it, but the bamboo gun array is not mobility and it is difficult to deal with it in time. Once the enemy breaks through the two wings, the main array will also be broken under three attacks."

"It's reasonable." Guiguzi is worthy of being a master of military scholars. He understood it at once and understood it at a glance, and pondered: "I didn't think about it carefully before, but I ignored these problems. So, Boling, how do you want to improve it?"

"First of all, I want to change the light soldiers on the left wing to heavy infantry similar to those of Wei Wuzhu. In this way, the attack and defense capabilities will be greatly increased, and the left wing can be effectively protected."

"Secondly, I want to change the light troops on the right wing to heavy cavalry. This will strengthen the right wing and also give the military formation excellent mobility. It can effectively carry out tactics such as pursuit, cutting, and detour."

"Anyway, the shortcomings of the military formation will be basically completed, and it will be inevitable that the world will be dominated by the war."

Sun Bin is also smart.

What he threw out at the beginning was just a simplified Macedonian military formation, but it was suitable for the national conditions of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It is said that it was Sun Wu's invention, but there is no trace.

What was added later was the mature Macedonian military formation of Alexander the Great.

In this way, the lies will be broken up, which not only highlights one's own abilities, but also does not appear too abrupt.

Guiguzi frowned and said, "Bo Ling, it is a good idea to use heavy infantry on the left wing. Sun Tzu had not appeared at that time, and there were some inadequate considerations. However, using cavalry, especially heavy cavalry as the main combat force, was simply not feasible."

Sun Bin smiled and said, "How is it not feasible?"

"Why, you little monkey is still getting better at the exam!" Guiguzi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Cavals are difficult to stabilize on horseback and can only engage in low-intensity battles. Therefore, all countries are only equipped with a small number of cavalry for reconnaissance, harassment, etc. There is no precedent for using cavalry as the main combat force."

"You are so whimsical, once you go into battle, you can only destroy yourself. No, you don't even have to go into battle. As long as your heavy cavalry runs for one or two hundred miles, under a huge load, the horse's hooves will be worn out soon and will collapse without fighting."

I have to say that Guiguzi's vision is very poisonous, and he expressed the fatal weakness of the current cavalry in one sentence.

However, even if Guiguzi makes a brilliant plan, he cannot calculate that Sun Bin is a time traveler, and he doesn't know that there will be two magical tools such as horseshoes and horse stirrups in the future.

"Haha..." Sun Bin smiled: "Teacher, what if I say, I have a way to overcome these weaknesses of the cavalry?"

Guiguzi was stunned and then keenly realized that cavalry has excellent mobility. If the weakness of not being able to engage in high-intensity combat and long-distance racing is solved, then cavalry will definitely become the dominant force of war, which will be a huge revolution in the history of war!

However, through the ages, many famous ministers and generals have not solved the weaknesses of cavalry. Is it possible for an old boy to do this?

At least, Guiguzi found it hard to believe it.

"Boling," Guiguzi said in surprise: "You really have a way?"

"Yes." Sun Bin nodded confidently: "It sounds mysterious. In fact, it only takes two inconspicuous small things. However, these two things are very easy to imitate. Once leaked, there will be no secrets. However, the disciple still wants to keep them as a killer weapon and use them at critical moments in the future. Therefore, please forgive me, the teacher, and it is not convenient for me to disclose them here."

"It's okay." Guiguzi was shocked, but nodded without caring about it: "The so-called 'The Tao is not passed on to people, and the Dharma is not passed on to six ears'. If you know that there are too many people, it is no longer a secret. Such an important thing is enough to change a war. It is right to be cautious."

Guiguzi believed that Sun Bin did not lie to him, and these two things did exist.

But Guiguzi is enlightened and everyone has secrets. Even if he is a role model, he cannot force others.

What's more, this secret is so amazing that it can change the pattern of war.

"Thank you, teacher." Sun Bin nodded gratefully.

"Okay, you can go out." Guiguzi waved his hand.

"Yes, teacher." Finally, after dealing with the disaster, Sun Bin breathed a sigh of relief, got up quickly, and escaped.

He was relaxed, but Guiguzi was not calm.

Although Sun Bin was young, the light on his body was no longer hiding, which made him, a versatile genius with extremely conceited nature, couldn't help but be amazed!

Now, let alone Sun Bin even took Sun Wu as a guise, even if Sun Bin insisted that he invented the Macedonian square formation and the trencher, Guiguzi believed it.

Is there really a genius who is born to know in this world? Perhaps, my ideal of quelling turbulent times and governing the world can really be realized in this disciple.

Guiguzi fell into deep thoughts.
Chapter completed!
