battlefield.
Zhu Di's face was solemn.
Because Gu Chengjun's formation has changed.
After looking at it carefully, Zhu Di couldn't help but admire it.
"As expected of the famous founding general Gu Cheng!"
"This time I looked down upon him a little. This Gu Cheng actually laid out the Six Flowers Army Formation!"
"Liuhua Army Formation?" Monk Daoyan was surprised.
This six-flower array is the "general diagram of the six-flower array" designed by Li Tangjun and Li Jing after improving the eight-array diagram.
Zhuge Wuhou's eight formations are composed of the four small formations of Tu Tianfu, Di Zai, Feng Yang and Yun Chui, and the four small formations of Long Fei, Tiger Wing, Bird Xiang and Snake Banner are composed of the four strange army groups. Connecting the 16 small formations of the Chinese army in the center and the 24 small formations of mobile troops (mostly cavalry) in the rear, the Zhengqi formation plate covers multiple changes, ultimately forming a super large formation with 64 changes. After the formation.
Therefore, the eight formations behind the wind have dozens of combat functions such as "marching formation, joining forces, setting up doubts, filling vacancies, logistics, trapping the enemy, running, pursuing and breaking through", and can be randomly changed endlessly.
Li Jing's Liuhua Formation was born out of the Eight Formations Behind the Wind, and can be regarded as a simplified version of the former. The two essentially have the same construction principles, that is, the large formation contains the small formation, the large camp contains the small camp, and the four corners are in four directions. They are connected to each other and correspond to each other.
"Your Majesty, this kind of six-flower formation mainly covers five forms: square, round, curved, straight, and sharp. There are six formations on the outside. The square formation is the regular army, the central military formation is inside, and the round or square formation is the surprise army."
"Furthermore, this formation is a change from the previous eight formations of multiple surprise formations and multiple regular formations. This can reduce the difficulty of commanding that was originally very difficult. For example, it was previously necessary to remember different support paths and promptly intercept them. Point command to avoid missed opportunities. Now you only need to randomly coordinate the regular troops in all directions with a circular surprise formation. This not only achieves multiple combat functions, but also reduces the standard of the number of soldiers to form a large formation. , is an excellent form of large formation."
"Because of this, the Liuhua military formation established by Li Jing's improvement of the Eight Formations has also become the main form of large-scale war operations during the Li and Tang Dynasties. I didn't expect that Gu Cheng would actually know how to fight in this formation. That would be really troublesome."
Monk Daoyan knew astronomy from above and geography from below, and in a blink of an eye he revealed the origin and pros and cons of the Liuhua Army Formation.
As a master of military art, Zhu Di naturally understands this truth.
But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Even if Gu Cheng sets up the Liuhua military formation that is difficult to chew, Zhu Di will still open a hole and swallow Geng Bingwen's right-wing army in one fell swoop!
"Command the three armies to prepare to charge into battle!"
The Liuhua Army Formation is indeed very strong, but it is far from enough to compete with the Yan Army's cavalry!
Regardless of whether it is the Rikka Army Formation or the Eight Formation Diagram, these large-formation battle methods that mainly deal with mixed infantry will undoubtedly fall into the trap of weak maneuverability, bulkiness, and high-mobility cavalry when attacking. Flaws such as inability to pursue can no longer work.
Therefore, when Gu Cheng laid down the Liuhua military formation, he just made the same choice as Li Jian before!
Form a formation to protect yourself and wait for help!
He, Gu Cheng, wanted to buy time until Geng Bingwen's main army arrived for reinforcements!
But before the war started, he gave up the opportunity to take the initiative and chose to wait for help. This in itself was a fatal mistake!
King Yan Zhu Di will not be wasted by him in vain and his army will be in trouble!
Following Zhu Di's order, the Yan Army's cavalry immediately launched into action.
"No matter what Gu Cheng is planning!"
"Everywhere our Yan army's cavalry passes is covered in dust!"
What Zhu Di said was extremely domineering!
Yes, no matter what strategy Gu Cheng is using on the other side, I will directly wash away the strongest piece of your Rikka Army formation and let all your strategies go to hell!
No matter how many strategies and wisdom you have, they will all look extremely pale and ridiculous in the face of absolute strength!
What is absolute strength?
The Yan army's 30,000 cavalry are absolute strength!
Previously, Zhu Di swallowed up Li Jian's vanguard army of 10,000 people, but he only dispatched three lines of cavalry!
Now even if you set up a six-flower military formation, so what? If the entire army of 30,000 cavalry is dispatched, I still don’t believe that I can’t break through your tortoise shell!
At the same time, the southern army's central military formation.
Ning Zhong was riding on a tall horse and looked at Gu Cheng with some confusion.
He was originally the son of Ning Zheng, the famous founding general and the left commander of the three armies. This expedition with the army was just for gold plating.
The inheritance of generals and the civil service group are very similar. When cultivating the next generation of successors, both parties need to boast, build momentum, and merit.
But the environment in the military has its own particularities. First of all, if you don't have that ability, it will be difficult for you to shoulder the responsibility, and even the soldiers and horses under your command will not obey you.
Therefore, Ning Zhong could only submit to Gu Cheng's deputy general and obey the command of the founding general.
But in the face of the menacing 30,000 Yan Army cavalry, Gu Cheng laid down the Liuhua Army Formation and waited for reinforcements.
This made Ning Zhong a little hard to accept.
After all, the Confederate right-wing army had more than 40,000 people!
Now Gu Cheng chooses to stick around and wait for help, which is really puzzling.
"Are you confused?"
Gu Cheng noticed Ning Zhong's gaze and said calmly.
Ning Zhong nodded, "Why doesn't General take the initiative?"
"Our army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength!"
"Idiot!" Gu Cheng cursed lightly, causing Ning Zhong's face to turn red immediately, and his childish face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you see it just now? The Yan army's cavalry is so powerful that it is really frightening!"
"Even if our army has more troops than the Yan army, so what? When infantry fights cavalry, they are naturally at a disadvantage. Once the Yan army's cavalry breaks through our army's formation, then it will only be a one-sided massacre. There is no room for resistance!”
"You idiot, you actually dare to think about sending the enemy to attack. Don't you know such simple common sense about the art of war? Are you worthy of being a general?"
Gu Cheng made a bitter mockery and scolded Ning Zhong bloody.
However, Ning Zhong couldn't find the words to refute, so he could only grit his teeth and lower his head to hide his inner anger.
Gu Cheng looked at these useless second-generation nobles and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"In the past, I was stationed in Yunnan and Guizhou all year round, so it was rare to see cavalry."
"At first I heard that the Yan Army's cavalry under the command of King Zhu Di was the best in the world. Naturally, I didn't want to believe it. I always felt that others were exaggerating. However, after seeing it with my own eyes, I began to believe it. The Yan Army's cavalry was terrifying. I'm afraid it will be comparable to the Mongolian cavalry that swept the world."
Ning Zhong raised his head in dissatisfaction and shouted to himself: "General, why do you want to enhance other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige?"
"hehe!"
Gu Cheng smiled contemptuously and was too lazy to talk nonsense to such an idiot anymore.
He is really dissatisfied with the court now.
Is fighting a child's play?
This is a deadly war!
I don’t know what the new emperor was thinking, but he arranged for a group of second-generation nobles like Ning Zhong and Li Jian to go out with the army!
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Doesn't the new emperor understand such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?
A group of young kids who have never even been on the battlefield or even fought a real battle are worthy of being generals!
If this continues, how can the imperial army be invincible?
How sad and ridiculous!
