Xu Mo's enthusiasm faded and he asked with a guilty conscience: "The advantage of heavy armor is so great, is there anyone who can break the formation?"
Qin Feng tilted his head, thinking, and holding his fingers to analyze: "Heavy armored formations are not afraid of cavalry, but large armies are needed to fight. The number of people is too small, and the formation is not thick enough, so it cannot stop the cavalry charge. Then there is the equipment. Archers with armor-piercing arrows, due to the inconvenience of heavy armored infantry, find it difficult to compete against soldiers who are more than ten feet long. And then..."
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Xu Mo had already interrupted and said frustratedly: "After you said that, I have no confidence again."
Qin Feng patted Xu Mo's shoulder and said sincerely: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy will change tactics according to our situation. The opponent changes, but we remain unchanged. Isn't this looking for death? I estimate that the next candidate for general, I will definitely try to break through the armor.”
"Next, it's time to change the arms!"
Qin Feng handed the note prepared in advance to Xu Mo and asked him to change the arms according to the proportion above.
As long as archers and cavalry are not involved, the other two arms with technical content are interoperable.
The second competition begins.
"Xu Mojun, versus Li Qijun!"
In order to deal with heavy armor, Li Qijun temporarily changed the proportion of troops. Four-fifths of the soldiers were changed to halberdiers, leaving only a small number of light infantry for cover.
Li Qi was full of confidence and looked proud: "The halberdiers can perfectly suppress the heavy armored soldiers due to the length of their weapons. Xu Mo will definitely lose!"
When Xu Mojun entered the battle, Li Qi's smile froze on his face.
Xu Mo's army, which was originally composed of heavy armored soldiers, has undergone earth-shaking changes at this time. One hundred heavy armored soldiers formed a formation, one hundred archers on the left, and one hundred light infantry on the right.
Li Qi was shocked and shouted: "The infantry team obeys the order and attacks and kills the archers quickly!"
As a result, the next moment, Xu Mojun's light infantry had already protected the archers with three layers outside.
At the same time, the heavy infantry blocked the attack route of the halberdier. Although the "sacrifice" was quick, it gave the archers a chance, and crackling armor-piercing arrows hit the halberdier.
The arrows were smeared with lime, and as long as they left traces on the chest or abdomen, they were considered dead in battle.
The two sides were only a few dozen steps apart. From this distance, an archer could shoot with his eyes closed. Under the continuous rain of arrows, large swaths of the halberdiers were eliminated.
In the final result, all the heavy armor soldiers of Xu Mo's army were killed, and all the halberd soldiers of Li Qi's army were killed. Facing the pincer attack of Xu Mo's light infantry and archers, Li Qi's remaining small number of light infantry had no chance of winning.
Qin Tianhu's eyes shone, and he was extremely impressed by this tactical use, and all of this was naturally related to Qin Feng jumping up and down on the wall.
Qin Tianhu shouted excitedly: "Xu Mojun wins!"
The third and fourth games followed one after another.
Under Qin Feng's instructions, Xu Mo's army changed formations repeatedly. In the third battle, all light infantry relied on speed to break into the opponent's archer formation. In the fourth game, all heavy infantry were replaced, forming a formation to push the opponent's light infantry into a blind corner, surrounding them and annihilating them all.
Li Xu's face was extremely gloomy, watching Xu Mo's army advance to the finals with overwhelming force. If Xu Mo's army really won, Qin Feng would gain a foothold in the army, and it would be even more difficult to overthrow the Qin family in the future.
"Unexpectedly, this boy not only has profound knowledge in military strategy, but also has such rich practical experience. He is clearly a veteran who has retired from the battlefield." Li Xu didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.
All the civil and military officials present looked at each other in astonishment. No one could have imagined that Xu Mojun, a group of "old soldiers", could reach the finals.
Several generals felt blushing as they watched their own children being eliminated.
"What's wrong? Xu Mo is just a captain of the City Patrol Division. He has never fought in a war before. How can he be so skilled in tactics?"
"Hey! Xu Mo is a stubborn man. He is brave but not resourceful. Look, it's not the brat on the city wall who is making plans behind his back."
"Haha, what a novelty... That kid is jumping up and down, like a monkey, without any stability, but he knows the tactics so well. But then again, Qin Feng is also the son of Qin Tianhu, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, that's true. make sense."
Emperor Liang's attention had all been directed to Qin Feng on the wall, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What a gambling technique!"
Li Zhan looked puzzled: "The art of gambling?"
Emperor Liang snorted softly, and the corner of his mouth showed a hint of deep meaning: "Qin Feng's tactics are indeed changeable, but the most powerful thing is his grasp of people's hearts. Every time, he can use his strong points to attack his weak points just right, which proves that he has already mastered the tactics. The candidate general’s thoughts have been thoroughly figured out!”
"The mental game between commanders often plays a decisive role on the battlefield. Where did this brat learn these skills? Compared with him, I seem a little ignorant."
Li Zhan quickly apologized and smiled: "The sage is serious. The sage is a real dragon. Even if Qin Feng is capable, he is still a minister."
Emperor Liang glanced at Li Zhan and said displeasedly: "Do you even need to say this?"
Li Zhan was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything else. He had been unable to control the saint's anger and happiness after serving him for decades.
Flattery is not something you shoot randomly. If you shoot it in the wrong place, it may cause Long Yan to be furious.
The second prince quietly observed Emperor Liang's reaction, then turned around and glanced at the seventh prince, finding that the seventh prince was looking at Qin Feng on the wall with a smile.
Obviously, the seventh prince's thoughts are also on Qin Feng.
The second prince coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said coldly: "Seventh brother, what do you think of Qin Feng?"
The seventh prince quickly looked away and said respectfully: "Qin Feng is a great talent that has never been seen in the world. The winner is like a tiger with wings."
The second prince's eyes flashed with coldness, and he pretended to be indifferent: "So, the seventh brother also admires Qin Feng?"
The seventh prince kept his attitude very low and never competed with the second prince: "Everyone has a love for talent. It is human nature for my younger brother to be interested in Qin Feng. However, I heard that Qin Feng thinks very highly of himself. Even if I want to make friends with you, I'm afraid I'm not strong enough."
The girl who was waiting on the piano curled her lips and whispered to the guest in white next to her: "His Royal Highness Seventh is really forbearing. He is obviously one of the heirs to the throne, but he acts like a prince who has fallen from power. He is too scheming."
The man in white glared at the girl playing the piano, lowered his voice and yelled: "What kind of occasion is this? Don't say anything more!"
At this stall, a voice sounded in the venue.
"Reporting to the sage, I have the courage to give advice to my subordinates. Xu Mo's army is wearing heavy armor and has changeable tactics. He must have been instructed by an expert. This is unfair to other candidate generals. It is better to increase the difficulty."
The minister who came to remonstrate was an official from the Ministry of Industry...
