Chapter 117 Ambush from all sides, personal talent [asking for votes]
On the school grounds, upon hearing the order, the Han troops dismounted from their horses and stepped on the ground with both feet wearing military shoes.
The Huns were on foot, and Huo Qubing wanted to test the strength of the military formation. The Han army could not rely on the superiority of cavalry.
What makes the whole army feel palpitating is that before the life and death battle, there is still no communication at all, and there is only murderous intent in the solemnity.
After they dismounted, they patted the neck of the war horse, and the horse walked to the edge of the school field on its own, waiting for its owner.
Swords, shields, and Xiongnu soldiers also have one in each hand.
You must know that after these Huns soldiers became prisoners, they would be tied into a string and put on shackles or locks to work.
And working all day long keeps their physical fitness above the level.
Once the restraints were released, these Huns immediately became fierce. They picked up the swords and leather shields given to them, turned their heads and looked in the direction of the high platform, with fierce eyes like wolves in a cage.
If they hadn't been concerned about the Han troops holding crossbows under the high platform, they would have attacked the high platform.
"Marquis Champion, give them their swords and shields...this...how is this training?" The civil servant's face turned paler just now.
Not all officials have spiritual practice, some simply rely on their talents in certain aspects to become officials in the court.
I have no spiritual practice, and I am a civil servant. This is probably the first time I have seen such a terrifying scene.
Suddenly, a tall Hun soldier raised his arms and shouted loudly. He struck the leather shield in his other hand with the long knife in his hand, declaring his bravery.
Under his shouts, all the Huns soldiers quickly gathered together and formed the triangular formation that the Huns usually used.
Whether it is cavalry or ground combat, the Huns are willing to use the triangle formation because it is stable, simple and can change quickly.
With one point as the edge, the other two points can be opened at any time to transform into a wild goose wing formation, or retracted to bulge in another direction to become a prismatic formation, and the front formation can be transformed into a rear formation, all of which can be completed in the shortest possible time.
"He said that he was the commander of the Xiongnu's thousand cavalry, and asked the other soldiers to obey his command."
Huo Qubing and Wei Qing have studied the Huns' wars, and even culture, spiritual practice and other fields.
Both can speak simple Hunnic.
Huo Qubing personally translated to the emperor: "The Huns said that our Han army's array was complicated and impractical. He was making tactical arrangements for the imprisoned Huns."
In a few words, the situation on the field changed, and the Huns quickly completed the combination of the triangular battle formation.
Just by looking at the speed of the formation, you can tell that these prisoners are elite Huns.
Boom, boom, boom!
The drum sound is low and slow.
This was the message to order the troops to move forward and launch the killing array.
The drumming gradually became denser and tighter.
Instead, the Xiongnu's murderous nature was aroused first and they approached the Han army.
ha!
The Han troops roared in unison, their ranks changed, and their troops tightened.
The middle part of the team began to separate to the two sides, forming a small queue that was independent of the big team.
In the space of a breath, the two thousand troops separated and merged, forming a small array of exactly ten squares. Each small square array may have more than a hundred people, or three or four hundred troops.
The ten squares appear to be scattered, but in fact they form a large array with a circle within the square and a square within the circle.
"The ten formations are in conjunction, intermittent but not scattered, echoing each other, and murderous intentions are everywhere... This is an army formation with an ambush from all sides!"
Dong Zhongshu watched the changes on the field closely.
"The Art of War has it that: the left, right, middle, front, and rear armies each have their own territory. To divide the territory, the southeast is the front, the southwest is the right, the northeast is the left, the northwest is the rear, and the center between the left, right, front, and rear is called ten.
Ambush."
Sima Qian, Bai Yu and others were also watching the changes in the battle formation: "Master, this looks like House of Flying Daggers, but is it different?"
"There are indeed changes!" Dong Zhongshu said.
boom!
The Xiongnu soldiers ran with great strides and formed formations to attack the Han army.
The Han army's array immediately made targeted changes. The two arrays in the central area retreated together, and the two rear arrays stepped forward to meet them. Together they formed an elliptical arc of battle array to withstand the impact.
Bang!
A Xiongnu soldier slashed out with a sword with great force, but found that the moment it hit the Han army's shield, it seemed as if it had been removed by a force of energy.
The curved battle formation of the Han army was concave and pulled back, as if it formed a traction force brought by the gathering of battle formations, buffering the power of the most ferocious Huns at the forefront of the Xiongnu formation.
At this time, the spears on the flanks were stabbed with lightning, and several Huns soldiers who were swallowed by the concave surface were instantly penetrated through the chests. The leather shield in someone's hand was actually pierced by the spear point.
The combined battle formations are like the gathering of thousands of armies, which increases the attack power... Dong Zhongshu thought to himself.
These changes occur in the moment of exposure, as fast as light and fire.
The military formation swelled, turning from a concave surface to pushing forward, using the shield as a defense, and the long spears stabbed continuously, forming an attack angle for the spear tip to meet the enemy.
The queue at the rear followed up, pressing harder and harder, and suddenly it became a murderous front array!
Push! Boom boom boom!
The footsteps of the Han army marching forward in an orderly manner sounded like war drums, touching people's hearts.
At this time, the battle formation shifted to an all-out attack, with the troops in the back row acting as the base and exerting force at the same time. The power was transferred to the front row, and after superposition, it exploded from the frontmost point.
The power presented by each strike can push down walls and crack the ground, rushing towards the Huns!
Liu Qing's hands quietly squeezed the corners of her skirt.
She only recognized a few of the changes in battle formations on the field, and the one she knew best was the sharp arrow formation, which was used by Huo Qubing when he commanded the Sixty Forbidden Army last time.
Her invulnerable attack power left a deep impression on her.
Clang! Clang Clang!
Retract and release, advance and retreat, relax, concave, poke, shield row!
The battle formation is constantly changing, and the soldiers in each position only do their own thing. When combined together, they are like a giant composed of two thousand elites, switching between offense and defense, advancing one way and retreating another.
The entire battle formation is like a weapon with hidden edges everywhere. The opponents can advance and retreat as they advance and retreat, and change accordingly, completely controlling the rhythm of the battlefield.
No one thought beforehand that killing enemies on the battlefield could be so entertaining.
The battle formations are connected and do not give the opponent the slightest chance.
On the campus of Nottingham University, except for the battle in the middle, the collision of weapons and screams, no onlookers made a sound.
Everyone's emotions were affected.
Time passed, like a blink of an eye, and the number of Huns soldiers became fewer and fewer.
They spread out like a pack of wolves and began to try to attack from different angles, but apart from spreading their own strength, there was no loophole for the opponent to exploit between their advance and retreat.
This is the role of military strategists of all ages in studying battle formations, using queues to cooperate with each other to reduce one's own consumption and increase the opponent's damage.
It is a battle formation with endless variations.
Some spectators finally understood why those legendary generals were able to achieve miraculous victories time and time again.
Because changes such as battle formations contain the secrets of military strategists passed down from generation to generation and the accumulation of hard work.
When the Han Dynasty was founded in the early days of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, fought in the battle of Jingxing. The conditions were harsh, the location was favorable, and the people and people were not on the side of the Han army.
Han Xin could actually devote only 30,000 troops to the battle to destroy Zhao, while Zhao's army had 200,000.
What was worse than the small number of people was the favorable location. To attack Zhao, the Jingxing Pass was the only way to pass. The road was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Han Xin was still alone in going deep, and the food road was dangerous.
Under this situation, Han Xin relied on his commanding ability and used many tricks, and finally killed the opponent's army with 30,000 lives, turning the battlefield confrontation into the art of command.
Thirty thousand versus two hundred thousand wins, can you believe it?
It was because Han Xin was able to use his troops magically, rely on battle formations, and military prowess to cannibalize and destroy his opponents.
Some bystanders saw the one-sided confrontation on the field, as if they understood the secrets of war, but they did not fully understand it.
But even if he didn't know anything about military affairs, he was still shaken by the light and shadow of swords in front of him, and his heart was throbbing.
Before you knew it, only blood, broken arms and thousands of corpses were left on the field.
The Han army only suffered minor injuries to over a hundred people. After being injured, they were protected by battle formations and without any reduction in numbers, they completely wiped out their opponents.
Of course, this kind of victory was caused by fighting in the school field, which was unfavorable to the Huns soldiers.
But it's still shocking enough.
In particular, the Han army's self-confidence, hostility and murderous spirit, as well as their fearlessness and perseverance during the entire attack, made it difficult to calm down.
This brutal scene of fighting is unforgettable.
And Huo Qubing, can he really improve the military formation that has been passed down for a long time and become immutable?
"Oh My God……"
The pale-faced civil servant's body trembled for a while, whether it was excitement or fear caused by too many corpses on the field.
The others had different reactions, but what they had in common was that they gradually looked away from the battlefield and looked at Huo Qubing with wonder and disbelief in their eyes.
Liu Che withdrew his gaze and breathed out slowly, "The battle formation just now looked familiar to me, but is it the ambush formation from all sides that is well known to military strategists?
There seem to be some changes?"
"I added a sharp arrow formation to it, reduced the spear formation, and enhanced the flank protection. The advantage is that it can be transformed into a rotating sword formation at any time, but there was no chance to use it in the previous battle.
The disadvantage of changing the formation is that after strengthening the flank protection, it is necessary to reduce the two changes between attack and recovery. There are gains and losses. How to use it depends on the response to the enemy." Huo Qubing said.
Generally speaking, when it comes to battle formation training and layout, the simpler the better, the rules will be respected.
Because once it is complicated, it is easy to make mistakes. If it cannot be used on the battlefield, it is all in vain.
But Huo Qubing mastered the techniques of resurrecting the corpse and combining the Yin and the body, and could directly control his subordinates and convey orders. This drawback was no longer the problem. No matter how cumbersome the military formations were, he could accurately mobilize them.
At this time, a general couldn't help but said: "How can the champion command the team to such an extent? No one made a mistake during the whole process and damaged the integrity of the array.
If you can tell me about these battle formation methods, I would like to worship the champion as my teacher and carry out the disciple ceremony. Please inquire about military affairs!"
You can't learn this, and you haven't failed yet... Huo Qubing: "Personal talent."
The general was speechless, and most of the surrounding listeners subconsciously rolled their eyes.
Sure enough, arrogance, personal talent means that others are not talented enough, but you are talented?
Ha... Not far away, Long Luhou raised the corners of his mouth and was about to sneer when he suddenly noticed that Huo Qubing's eyes were like lightning and he was looking over him from a distance.
He was stern and swallowed back the laughter that reached his throat.
"Big cat~"
Huo Qubing barked softly, and everyone noticed that a cat was quietly approaching Longluhou, seemingly planning to attack him. When Huo Qubing barked, the big cat raised its paws, turned around and retreated.
"Long Luhou, if you have something to say, just say it without endless hesitation, or if you want to try it yourself," Huo Qubing muttered.
Chen Xiu stood up quickly: "You think I am easy to bully!"
The emperor scolded lightly: "Okay, Qu Bing, please shut up. I have already understood the training, and there is no need to practice the rest. Come on, go back to the palace!"
He added: "Qu Bing, if you cause trouble for Long Lun again afterwards, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."
The emperor's eyes turned to Chen Xi, his eyes were unkind, and he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Chen Xuan was shaking with anger, but he still followed the emperor's guard of honor and left.
The other ministers dispersed one after another. When they left, they looked at Huo Qubing with many surprised expressions.
Huo Qubing's performance just now was unbelievable.
There are actually generals in the modern era who can improve battle formations!
Before Dong Zhongshu left, he said: "Huo Hou, I have something to ask. I will visit you at your house another day."
Huo Qubing responded, Dong Zhongshu also walked away, followed by Sima Qian and Bai Yu.
Beside Huo Qubing, Liu Qing stood there quietly, obviously waiting for him to go back together.
He walked forward, and Liu Qing followed behind, getting on the chariot he came from.
I saw a book friend asking about the gathering place: 21 years, 60 years, 84 weeks and 72 hours is 3 days. The numbers cannot be written like this.
This way of writing battle formations is intended to make the writing of military strategists more vivid and informative. It is somewhat different from other books. I checked the corresponding military books and related changes in ancient battle formations. I hope you all like it.
It should be the third update today, just in case, I said just in case, there is no update in the evening, so we will do it at midnight
