There was a lot of excitement in Cao Jun's camp, but no one came out!
Cao Hong seemed to have made up his mind and stayed tight, letting Fei Qian twist and turn, but he didn't move.
Are you really not moved?
After mutual competition and attrition in the forward battle, Cao Jun lost most of the control on the battlefield, but still firmly controlled the Anyi camp, and had the Zhongtiaoshan camp as a branch in the rear, and Fei Qian also
It is impossible to lead a large force to bypass the camp in front and attack Cao Jun's rear line.
Fei Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Cao Jun was motionless and didn't even show any signs of leaving camp.
Was this because Xu Chu was frightened by the previous battle between the two armies?
Fei Qian climbed up to observe the formation today, just to take a look at Cao Jun's formation, but he didn't expect that Cao Jun wouldn't give him a chance.
Fighting without formation is tantamount to playing hooligan, and this is no exception in ancient and modern times.
In other words, Cao Jun is acting like a hooligan...
Even though the Fei potential army has strengthened a lot of communication and has the means to identify the ranks of the military academy, in most cases, tactics still have to rely on formations. Because of the limitations of communication conditions, even the Golden Drum
It is difficult for the sound to be transmitted to a distance, and together with the smoke and dust, it is naturally difficult to recognize the flag and so on. The messenger still has to wait and see whether God will reward him, otherwise, he will disappear halfway through.
Therefore, the layout of the military formation is very important.
For ordinary soldiers, they only need to remember who is next to them and whether they should stand in a horizontal line or a diagonal line, or in a column. As for the attack and direction, it is controlled by the non-commissioned officers in the army. The non-commissioned officers in the army
Generally, only the group in front of you is in charge, and the general will give orders to the entire array.
The further down you go, the easier it is to command, and the further up you go, the more difficult it is to command.
After the game actually starts, it's really not certain whether the coach can control every general.
As for the tactical essence of specific combat operations, it actually comes down to four words.
Use more to defeat less.
As for tracking the enemy, forward, backbone, harassment from both wings, remote output, outflanking and encirclement, etc., these tactics actually existed in ancient times, during the reign of Emperors Yan and Huang, otherwise Chi You would not have screamed in dissatisfaction and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yanhuang is a weakling, and if he has the guts to challenge him...
It seems like a tactic that only fools can use, but whether this tactic is used well or not depends on the general's control ability and the quality of the soldiers.
Fei Qian stared at the large banner on the high platform of Cao Jun's camp, pondering endlessly.
Cao Jun did not leave the camp to form an array, which means that Cao Jun had something that he did not want Fei Qian to see...
To simply understand, the formation of the formation is, to a certain extent, the two sides showing their cards before the battle.
As for whether to use the biggest one to dazzle the dog's eyes, or to use the smallest one to confuse the enemy, it is not certain. But no matter in ancient or modern times, at the final stage of the battle, the losing side will always feel that it is always surrounded and surrounded.
Outflanked and flanked, this result must be the result of the formation confrontation and the pulling of the battle lines before the final stage.
Setting up a formation is nothing, pulling is the real skill.
As for the array diagrams, they are half true and half false.
It's really formations, formations, formations, etc., which do have a certain effect. For example, the enemy troops rushing into the formation can be dispersed on the left and right forks, and then they will naturally be attacked from many sides. After all, human eyes can only see what's ahead.
There is no movement, and you cannot observe the surrounding situation 360 degrees. Once the enemy attacks you from the side, you will be easily killed.
Just like what Fei Qian is observing in part of Cao Camp.
"Cao Jun's camp really took great pains to resist the cavalry." Fei Qian pointed to Cao Jun's camp in the distance and said, "Over there, the original terrain has almost changed..."
Cao's army used the ravines in the camps and plateaus, as well as various artificially dug or stacked defenses, to form some special terrain to a certain extent.
Fei Qian also remembered the original landform here in Anyi, but now, there are many places that are different from the original memory.
"The soil plateau at the entrance to the camp has been changed..." Fei Qian pointed to the direction of Cao Jun's camp and said, "I remember there was a gentle slope before, but now the entire gentle slope has been dug out... You can only walk from both sides...
This makes it easy to be dispersed...and I'm sure Cao Jun has other arrangements in the area at the entrance of the camp..."
Xu Chu also agreed, "The cavalry must slow down when turning. If they really follow Cao's army's path, they will definitely suffer a loss."
"So, does Cao Jun want us to go through the camp gate now, or is he telling us not to go through the camp gate?" Fei Qian asked next.
"This..." Xu Chu had a headache.
This is not easy to answer.
Fei Qian smiled and had no intention of forcing Xu Chu to answer, but Fei Qian needed Xu Chu to use his brain to think.
Although Cao Jun did not turn over the cards, he showed some corners.
This is the change of Cao Jun.
Just from a small area like the camp gate, we can see that Cao Jun has changed from horizontal defense to vertical defense, which will strengthen Cao Jun's ability to defend against surprise attacks.
Faced with such a change, Fei Qian also needs to make certain adjustments and changes, otherwise he will be wasted by Cao Cao in the camp's array.
Fei Qian turned his attention to Cao Jun's stronghold wall.
Logically speaking, when the camp down the slope was broken, everyone in Cao's army should have known that there were artillery in Feiqian. However, if you really want to change the formation and deal with it, it is not that easy. The formation is closely related to the level of technology.
.For those who have never seen artillery, no matter how hard they imagine it, it is difficult to construct a corresponding strategic response.
Therefore, the direction of the camp wall should be a good breakthrough point.
It's just that Fei Qian suspected that Cao Cao might have made some arrangements near the wall, because those who surrendered all told the same thing. Cao's military leaders and guards did not allow ordinary Cao soldiers to approach the wall.
some nearby areas.
This is very doubtful.
Fei Qian had to determine the direction of the attack. This was his responsibility, and it was also the reason why he went to the front of the formation today to check the terrain and Cao Jun's camp with his own eyes.
In most battles, there is no way, like the opening CG of Warcraft, to have Fei Qian stand on a high hill, holding an ax in his hand, oh, a sword will do, and then shout for the tribe, ahem,
For the hussar~~
Then Wu Yangyang's younger brother rushed forward and chopped the enemy into pieces.
Wake up!
If you see this kind of scene too much, some people will be brainwashed and think that all wars should be like this. But in reality, war is monotonous and cruel, and there is no emotional excitement or thunder at all...
…
Most of the people who think war is spectacular are thinking that God is looking down 45 degrees, but the real perspective of an ordinary soldier is most likely that of a hanging ring that cannot be caught in a subway station in the morning and evening rush hours of a big city, or in a middle school.
There are windows that I can’t reach when I reach out my hand, and highways that I can’t walk on during the New Year or long holidays.
people mountain, people sea.
So even if you go to the cafeteria to get food, you need to queue up and pay attention to strategies, let alone let your younger brother kill people?
In wars and battles, we must pay attention to the basic laws.
If you don't pay attention to the Basic Law, it's all nonsense.
Fei Qian picked up the telescope and looked at Cao Ying carefully.
The layout of Cao's army's camp was well arranged.
It's not crowded, and the paths are staggered back and forth very regularly.
The flags were scattered in an orderly manner. Looking at the flags, Fei Potential could see that Cao Jun did not put all the miscellaneous troops in front, but mixed them up.
This not only ensures the numerical advantage, but also ensures the tenacity of the formation...
The level of Cao Jun's infantry tactics is quite good. After all, in Shandong, infantry rules the roost.
"Cao's army deployed heavy-armored infantry on both sides... there is the flag of Xiong Zhuan... the flying tiger flag is still in the center... This is the opposite of us..." Fei Qian handed the telescope to Xu Chu, "Zhong
Kang, look at it.』
The heavy infantry's method of warfare is to form a dense square formation and use human flesh to form a thick shield wall to resist the impact of the cavalry.
If this was in a relatively small area, the cavalry might not be able to defeat these heavy infantry.
After all, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the heavy infantry in these Shandong areas were resisting chariots.
Chariots are very powerful, but after all, chariots are the ultimate weapon of a rich and handsome man. It can be considered a big country with hundreds of them, and the environment for use is very limited. Cavalry will be much more flexible, but in any case, whether it is a chariot or a cavalry, in
When facing heavy infantry with heavy spears, they will also suffer a big loss. If Cao Jun arranges a group of these heavy infantry with spears in the camp passage, then those who simply want to rely on cavalry to charge can win, that is
Wishful thinking.
"Is it possible to use Five Elements Thunder to rush forward?" Xu Chu replied, "But when using thunder, the distance is also close, and some damage will be suffered..."
Fei Qian nodded, and then asked, "That's right. Will Cao's army use crossbows in the next few days?"
Xu Chu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is a catapult, but I don't see him using a crossbow."
Fei Qian pointed in the direction of the sentry towers in the camp, "They must be all placed over there... Look at those sentry towers, from the outside to the inside, they are like bowls, with strong crossbows on them.
"Xia Zanshe. Cao Jun's baggage carts haven't been pushed out yet, have they?"
"Car formation?" Xu Chu took a breath.
"That's it." Fei Qian said with a smile, "This is really an iron wall... However, no matter how tight Cao Mengde's defenses are, he has forgotten one thing..."
"Ah?" Xu Chu was a little confused.
"I think..." Fei Qian smiled, "Our original formation needs to be changed..."
…
…
Fei Qian was observing the enemy's situation in front of the formation. Cao Hong, who was in Cao's camp, was also staring at Fei Qian's formation.
Especially where Fei Qian is located on the high platform under the battle flag.
Cao Hong swallowed his saliva and resisted the temptation.
Although looking from a distance, he could only see pixel-like figures shaking and pointing, and could not clearly see the changes in his expressions, Cao Hong seemed to be able to see Fei Qian's expression clearly, he smiled and shouted deliberately
, "You know it's hard to fight now, right?"
Cao Hong's guards also laughed along with him.
As the laughter spread, the expressions of the surrounding Cao Jun soldiers relaxed slightly and began to laugh.
In fact, Cao Hong and these guards were a little nervous, but at the moment, the more nervous they were, the more relaxed they had to be, so that other Cao soldiers would not worry and be afraid.
Very early on, Cao Cao had already begun to consider how to deal with the hussar cavalry. Now, this is the first time that these defense systems and fortifications have been used on a large scale in actual combat. Cao Hong cannot guarantee the specific effects.
After all, everyone is alive.
All things will change because people change.
War is no exception.
Cao's army has actually made many big changes. Because Fei Qian led the cavalry unit to rise again, Shandong naturally began to develop various tactical methods to restrain cavalry. Heavy cavalry is indeed very powerful.
Strong, but not completely without restraint. Especially after Fei Qian used cavalry to humiliate Xu County in Yuzhou, all the generals and counselors of Cao's army were thinking about how to restrain cavalry. Gradually, it also appeared in Shandong.
An ecological chain in which arms are in conflict with each other has been established.
At the same time, the evolution of Cao's army also promoted the gradual evolution of Fei's submarine cavalry.
Originally, in the hussars, the cavalry with long steeds began to be replaced by spears and sabers, and the emphasis was shifted from a blind emphasis on impact to a balance of impact and mobility. The pure form of the lancer began to gradually evolve, and eventually became a long-range cavalry.
The ultimate form of the ancient cavalry that can harass, pull, melee and break through has evolved.
The evolution of Fei's submarine cavalry once again forced Cao's army to follow up, causing Cao's army to begin to study various tactical coordination. They no longer used infantry to conquer the world with one move, as can be seen in the long-range tactics used to deal with Xu Chu. Infantry began
Combined with long-range weapons, bows are used to maintain range and firepower to deal with light armor, and crossbows are used to deal with heavy armor. Together with ballistas and catapults, a multi-layered and multi-purpose firepower output structure is formed.
Perhaps after some time, both sides will evolve again...
Therefore, whether it is Fei Qian's Hussars or Cao Cao's Zhongling Zhonghu Army, they all change with the changes in military technology and military equipment, and there is no formation that can be separated from the specific tactics formed by military technology and military equipment.
.First there is equipment, then technology, then tactics, and then formation.
Formation has always been a subsidiary product of tactics, not the other way around.
Before the actual war between the two sides begins, no one knows what the other side's tactical deployment will be like or how the reserves will be used. However, excellent generals will make decisions based on the enemy's combat habits and troop deployment, as well as reconnaissance of the battlefield before the war begins.
Once the confrontation begins, the battlefield situation will determine the tactics and strategies you should adopt.
The hussars are strong, elite and tough, but the only problem is that they cost money, and because they are expensive, they are relatively small in number. Therefore, all of Fei Qian's tactics revolve around this feature. On the other hand, Cao's army has many soldiers, and the same characteristics of Cao's army's tactics are also
Tactical characteristics vary according to their own conditions.
So what Cao Hong is thinking about now is that the Hussars will attack the camp?
How is he going to attack?
Are you going to use cavalry to attack the surrounding areas and look for a breakthrough?
Or should we use infantry to advance, like we did when we attacked the camp downhill?
Cao Hong had already seen artillery in Tongguan.
Artillery is powerful enough to destroy everything, but if you don't get hit, it means nothing.
If you want to blow through the camp wall, then go ahead and bomb it.
The village wall is gone, but there is an earth wall. The earth wall is gone, but there is still an earth plateau!
Even if so many fortifications are left to bombardment by hussar artillery, when will they be bombarded?
Cao Hong stared at Fei Qian in the distance, wanting to know what method Fei Qian would use to attack the camp.
Because Cao Hong didn't believe that the formation that Fei Qian was putting up was the offensive tactic that Fei Qian was about to adopt.
This formation, which is similar to a traditional central breakthrough and coordinated cavalry on both sides, looks like it is tempting Cao Jun to attack.
Placed in the center is not only the artillery camp, but also Feiqian's flag.
It's like one, no, two beauties posing in the center of the stage...
Come on, come on.
If Cao Jun really went out in a hurry, then the strong man holding a big stick next to him would jump out with a clang.
Cao Hongcai is not that stupid.
During combat, if the general wants to quickly make the entire army respond in line with his own intentions, then the content of these specific tactical arrangements is the core of the preset formation. How to implement the established tactical arrangements with the cooperation of the respective units
, is the essence of the formation. In other words, in addition to the specific military formation layout, the real core part is how to develop the formation, how to dispatch the troops, and how to take advantage of the advantages of weapons and restraint under various situations.
Different opponents.
This is the secret of every good general.
Formations and formations are the same as "formation", but the different ones are "form" and "method".
Is Fei Qian a stupid opponent?
Obviously not, then Fei Qian must have some malicious intent in putting up such a rigid formation. Unless Fei Qian wants to make a pig-out tactic, this simple method of placing infantry in the middle and cavalry on both sides
, but all generals with some experience will do this, what else can be praised and praised?
If there is a military tactical formation but no training in how to use it, it will be easy for the opponent to catch the weakness of the defense.
Fei Qian almost put his weakness in front of Cao Hong, so Cao Hong was very sure that this weakness was a trap.
Formation embodies the strategic intention of the general. In many cases, in order to cover up his tactical intention, a shrewd general often distributes the initial force in a regular and balanced manner, and even has geometric symmetry. Just like Fiorentina.
The formation laid out by Qian Qian is the same. If the discontinuity of those plateaus is not taken into account, resulting in a slight deviation in the formation, then Fei Qian's entire formation is symmetrical...
Cao Hong understood that the true meaning of Fei Qian's actions was to confuse himself and prevent him from guessing the overall tactical intentions of the Hussars based on Fei Qian's deployment, while retaining the possibility of making adjustments to Cao's army's tactical deployment.
After all, there is a certain distance between the formations of both sides. As long as Cao Jun moves, Fei Qian can mobilize the reserve team according to the development of the battle situation to implement his own tactical intentions, or deflect a certain unit or the proportion of arms in a certain area to achieve the goal.
certain strategic purposes.
As for the correction and adjustment of this formation, there is no doubt that the hussars, which have more elites, have a greater advantage.
The formation is not put out, but is played out in the confrontation. It is adjusted and adopted according to the opponent's tactical deployment. It is not important what it looks like now, what is important is what it will look like after the fight...
"General! It's moving! It's moving!"
While Cao Hong was thinking, he suddenly heard some restlessness around him, and even some guards were pointing at the hussar formation in front of them and yelling.
Cao Hong looked carefully and couldn't help but was stunned again, "What on earth is this hussar trying to do?"
