"Your Majesty, what happened on the school field just now shows how unruly the sergeant in Datong Town is... No, he should be arrogant."

Hei Yunlong smiled bitterly: "It's okay when you meet a weak person, but when you meet an expert, your true colors will really be revealed.

The sergeants have no military discipline and their combat power is inflated. The generals are indecisive and inflexible in their command.

The biggest shortcoming common to all the sergeants in Datong Town is that they are afraid of war, fearful of war, and have no blood! "

Having said this, Hei Yunlong glanced at Zhou Yuji and said, "Forget about bows, arrows and firecrackers, let's talk about the third competition.

This is a test of the general's command ability, the sergeants' coordination and their proficiency in military formations.

Datong Town's round formation should be able to deal with Teng Xiang's right-back's forward formation. This is true. It is probably possible to defend against it.

But Tengxiang Youwei's roar and fighting spirit released before the contact suppressed the Datong Town sergeant, and there was a slight flaw in the circular formation.

Teng Xiang's right guard seized on this flaw and crashed into the circle formation under the leadership of Commander Zhou. This was his first mistake.

The second mistake, if at the moment when the sharp arrow formation collides with the circular formation, the circular formation in Datong Town quickly transforms into the two-dragon water formation from the place where it separates in the middle,

Move to both sides, avoid contact with Teng Xiang's right guard, avoid the sharp edge, and then transform into a square defense, so that he will not be surrounded.

The third mistake was made. After the sergeant of Datong Town was surrounded by the wild goose formation of Tengxiang right guard, he immediately transformed into a long snake formation, cone formation, or fish scale formation. He rushed out desperately without being compressed to the point of being unable to move.

Three mistakes: inflexible formation, indecisiveness, fear of battle, and fear of death! "

Everyone nodded after listening to Heiyunlong's analysis.

Yuan Keli said softly: "Actually, the outcome of Datong Town has been doomed since entering the school grounds.

The conversation between Commander Zhou and General He Jie had already made the Datong Town sergeant restless.

The bow and arrow competition greatly damaged the morale of Datong Town. During the whole process, Tengxiang Youwei took the lead and made the most of it. "

After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he looked at the martial arts scholars and said, "Commander Zhou's strategy is only suitable for himself. You must not imitate it when leading troops in the future.

If you dare to do this, you will definitely injure the enemy a thousand times and lose eight hundred to yourself. "

Yuan Keli's voice was full of solemnity and admonishment. He was really afraid that these stupid young men would rely on their martial arts skills and familiarity with military books to play such a trick.

Chongzhen also nodded. In the past, he was a little confused about the military formation. How could a formation be so powerful?

It was not until he was at Pianguan that the Baigan soldiers performed martial arts with Taiyuan Town, and Datong Town performed martial arts with Tengxiang Right Guards, that he truly realized the role of military formations.

Especially the changes in Tengxiang's right guard formation, the application of momentum, etc.

Although firearms are being vigorously developed now, military formations are necessary whenever close combat occurs, and martial arts lectures are also compulsory courses.

“But it’s not without its merits!”

Yuan Keli changed the subject, and then looked at the martial arts scholars: "Do you know what it is?"

Chongzhen, who was picking up the tea cup and preparing to drink tea, seemed to have thought of something. His hand shook violently, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

"Is this surrender?"

After a moment, Xu Yanqi suddenly said softly: "I remember when He Shenjiang announced his surrender just now, Mr. Yuan Ge said that he was not stupid after all!"

"That's right. To put it nicely, it means admitting defeat; to put it worst, it means surrender!"

Although Yuan Keli's voice was soft, it sounded like thunder in the ears of the martial arts scholars.

They have all practiced martial arts since childhood, read military books, read a lot of historical war records, and received teachings from Confucian classics. They are not ashamed to surrender.

"Do you feel that surrender is unacceptable?"

"Then I would like to put it another way: Those who know the current affairs are heroes and follow the general trend; good birds choose trees to roost in; wise ministers choose their masters to serve; scholars choose those who know themselves and gain knowledge... Is it more palatable and easier to accept?"

Everyone was at a loss for words. Although the meaning was the same, changing the word seemed not so difficult to accept.

"First of all, this is a martial arts exercise. He Jie knows very well that if you don't surrender, it will be a painful meal. The winner will be determined, so they surrender!"

"Let's talk about surrender on the battlefield again!"

"Then you have to identify the opponent and you have to understand the opponent's character well enough to decide whether to surrender or not, and also decide whether you can survive.

If the sergeants in Datong Town were facing Mongolian tribes today and they dared to surrender, they would most likely be tricked and killed.

Because this was a feud and they couldn't control so many sergeants,

Give these sergeants some opportunities, and the possibility of resistance will be great. They will not leave uncontrollable factors around them.

If today's opponent is a Jiannu, the probability of survival after surrender is relatively high.

Because Jiannu faced the Ming Dynasty, what they had to do was to release the greatest goodwill,

They want to use the surrendered soldiers to undermine the morale of the Ming sergeants. They also tell the Ming sergeants that they will not kill you if you surrender. Give up resistance.

It also showed Huang Taiji's benevolence and righteousness. If he killed a large number of surrendered soldiers, it would cause the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to resist desperately in the future.

Nurhachi's three major development strategies have completely failed. If you kill even the surrendered troops, who would dare to come to your place for development? "

“These are theoretical analyses, and we will encounter any situation in reality.

Just because the higher-ups don't kill doesn't mean that the subordinates don't kill. These are hard to say. It's all nonsense to say that killing someone is unlucky. "

"You must remember that since ancient times, most soldiers who surrender will die. Those who surrender are disloyal. Therefore, those in power regard surrender as a dog. Once you lose your use value, your death will come."

The martial arts scholars looked solemn and slowly thought about Yuan Keli's words.

"Analysis is analysis, but I tell you..."

Seeing the silence of all the martial arts scholars, Yuan Keli's tone suddenly changed, his voice full of murderous intent.

"Don't think about surrendering. When you surrender, think about you and your sergeants' families, relatives and friends, and think about how the history books will evaluate you.

Even if you have great military exploits after surrendering, the first record in the history books will still be the surrender of the general, followed by your military exploits.

In a desperate situation, the only thing you can do is to fight. If you can kill one, you will kill one by one. If you are alone, pretend that I didn't tell you!

My consistent policy in dealing with surrendered generals is to confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. "

After hearing this, Chongzhen put the tea cup on the table, his eyes full of complexities.

He didn't know how to evaluate the matter of surrender. If you were to say that everyone who surrendered would be executed, it didn't seem right.

Your generals surrendered, and you killed them all. But if the enemy's generals surrendered, what about your Ming Dynasty?

Since you kill all those who surrender, you hate those who surrender. Even the enemy who surrenders is also surrendering. How do you deal with it? To kill or not to kill?

If you kill, no one will surrender in the future. If you resist desperately, if you don't kill, you are setting a double standard.

"Mr. Yuan Ge, what if you pretend to surrender?"
