In fact, Fei Qian and later generations have always had doubts. In ancient wars, were battle formations really that important? Is the victory or defeat of a battle really determined by the tactics of battle formations?
However, with his understanding of the Han Dynasty and his own understanding of ancient warfare, Fei Qian gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of battle formations.
Humanity's art of war has been developed through fierce confrontations again and again.
The primitive tribes may have started fighting for a piece of wild fruit land. Then the two tribes had a dispute and agreed to have a fight to determine their ownership rights...
The war mode at that time can be referred to the Young and Dangerous in later movies and TV shows. Well, it was almost the same. The boss said hello, for the tribe, and then all the younger brothers followed, holding big sticks, and they just won.
But when such disputes progressed to the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots appeared...
When a group of young and Dangerous young men of the Spring and Autumn Period who were very good at carrying big sticks and fighting in groups saw the big chariot rushing over for the first time, you can imagine the desperate mood of this group of young and Dangerous men at that time.
But the chariot also has flaws. Not only is this stupid big guy very demanding, but it is also difficult to change the charging line. Therefore, the unprecedented battle formation tactics that can cooperate with each other and support each other have entered the stage of history.
The Three Talents Formation of Heaven, Earth and Man.
The name is resounding, and it seems to contain the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and comes with its own BGM and aura of the protagonist, but in fact it is very simple, just divided into three parts: left, middle and right.
Later, infantry were added as assistance in the middle of the chariot column, which was called the fish scale formation...
So far, everyone has followed the right path. The ones in the center are usually strong troops, and the slightly weaker ones are placed on the left and right wings. Everyone does this, that is, strong vs. strong, weak vs. weak. Everyone is Mr. Zhao, Zhao
The master is a man of culture, so don’t be afraid of having anal sex with anyone.
But as the war became more and more intense, a big boss who didn't take the usual path finally appeared. It seemed to be from Zheng Guo. Let's call him Boss Zheng. Boss Zheng distributed strong troops on the left and right, but the Chinese army was always dragging its feet.
He was so nervous that he couldn't move forward, and then after the strong troops on the two wings defeated the weak troops on the opponent's wings, he turned around and surrounded the opponent's central group on three sides...
This formation, which first deals with the two wings and then forces the crowd to watch the center, has a nice name, called the Flying Geese Formation.
Then this method of using the vaginal leg, which was the first to use it in the formation, was learned by more and more people, and everyone began to follow the rules of "take the king's lower horse and his superior horse, take the king's upper horse and his middle horse, take the king's horse and his middle horse, take
The method of "the king is in the middle and the enemy is under the king" is used to cause trouble. You don't need to be strong in every part of the formation. You only need to open an opening in the opponent's formation, and then you can watch with force.
From then on, things got out of hand, and all kinds of monkeys picked peaches and went straight to Xiasanlu. Anyone who was good at this was called a master of the art of war. On the contrary, those who carried out the war with an upright idea were screwed up.
What a fool...
This proves that China has a long history of playing hooligans in war, and it has already made great strides in teasing and formed a complete set of theories even when it was still lagging behind in other aspects.
It was not until three hundred years later that the West learned to lift the vaginal legs on the battlefield.
As the Chinese war further developed, the chariots were decorated with medals. After honorable retirement, the important responsibility of lifting the vaginal legs was handed over to the new young force, the cavalry.
The cavalry, which has stronger mobility, strong anti-strike ability and impact destructive power, has officially begun to show its graceful and curvaceous side.
After Ma Yan talked about Xiliang's soldiers and cavalry, Xu Shu also felt that it was a bit difficult.
There is no big doubt that you can definitely win the fight, but how to reduce your own losses on the basis of winning and how to end the fight better and faster are the most important issues.
Niu Fu came to Hedong to grab grain and grass, so the safest way is to delay. Not to mention delaying for a month or two, even if it takes ten days and a half, Niu Fu should probably jump on it and either attack Anyi or turn around.
Loot villages near Anyi, but this will be more destructive to Hedong. If Hedong is really crippled, the source of material support and daily necessities that Bingzhou can get will be greatly affected.
.
Saving Hedong also saves Bingzhou.
Bingzhou has a small population base, and naturally some production and living materials are also scarce. Hedong has been stable for many years, and it still has considerable advantages in this aspect. Now Fei Qian has produced bamboo paper. Although the output is not large, the gentry in Hedong area
However, he was a big consumer of bamboo paper and exchanged it for many daily necessities. These daily necessities were also exchanged for animal skins and some cattle and sheep hunted by the Hu people...
So it can't be delayed, but it can't be forced.
If he and Niu Fu crippled his limited family resources in Hedong, then what could he do to resist Xianbei, let alone go north to regain Shangjun and Yinshan.
Xu Shu frowned, pondered for a long time, and said: "Let's make a fight first, and then..."
"Make a fight first?" Fei Qian pondered after hearing Xu Shu's plan.
What is the most important thing when cavalry and infantry fight?
The initiative on the battlefield, when to fight, how to fight, and what to fight all depends on the cavalry. Although Fei Qian also brought some cavalry, it is slightly difficult for light cavalry to fight against heavy cavalry.
Flying a kite requires ample battlefield space or exploitable natural obstacles. The area around Anyi is not a very good battlefield. Moreover, Niu Fu’s original strategic need is not to defeat Fei Qian, but to defeat Fei Qian.
Obtain the food and grass from Anyi, so there is not much reason to forcefully pursue the Feiqian troops.
And once they get into a tug-of-war, they are back to the starting point of competing against each other.
Therefore, being able to pre-select a position and then conduct a positional battle, which is determined by the first battle, is the best choice at the moment.
"...This is a countermeasure. Let's make a fight first and see how they respond..."
