After Zhuang Li explained the reason for the victory in the Battle of Guandu, he flipped over the small bowl covering the red beans and wanted to pour some tea to moisten his throat.
Who knew that the black-faced lieutenant who had been blowing his beard and staring at him before squeezed Le Zhengming away, took the bowl happily, and said diligently, "Mr. Here comes a bowl of hot tea. Hey, this bowl was just thrown on the table, it's a little dirty, I'll wash it for you, you wait a moment."
After speaking, he went away, as if the person who scoffed at Zhuang Li before was not him at all.
Looking at the back of the black-faced lieutenant, Zhuang Li couldn't help but laugh.
Le Zhengming quietly pinched his fingertips under the table, and said in a low voice, "This man is called Second Huai, and he is a lieutenant general of the Central Army under my command.
Zhuang Li pursed his lips and nodded.
The rest of the generals raised their hands one after another and couldn't wait to introduce themselves: "Mr. Zhuang, the last general's name is Li Zhaofeng, the general of the left cavalry."
"Mr. Zhuang, the last commander's name is Zhao An, and he is the general of the right cavalry."
"Mr. Zhuang, the last commander's name is..."
"Mr. Zhuang, the last commander's name is..."
Everyone saluted and reported their names and positions, lest they could not leave a good impression on the military division. The young man was clearly only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a smooth jaw and tender eyebrows, but no one dared to underestimate him.
"Mr. Zhuang, can you tell us more about this war dimension? I just realized a little bit, but I don't quite understand it."
"Yes, yes, me too! I vaguely touched the name hall, and when I thought about it carefully, I got nothing!"
There are always generals making such requests. They are also people who are familiar with the art of war, and have some understanding of various battle formations, but it is the first time they have heard such a straightforward and simple explanation.
Le Zhengming whispered in the ear of the little curly hair: "Are you tired? Take a good rest when you are tired, and teach them another day."
All the generals cast protesting glances at Le Zhengming, and then thinking of the young man's frail body, they all gave up the idea of continuing to pester each other. Anyway, the strategist is already theirs, and it is never too late to learn battle formations.
Zhuang Li shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, what do you want to hear?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately shouted: "We want to hear the secret method of winning every battle! You said before, just control that what, what, what..." This group of scumbags scratched their heads one by one, but they couldn't remember. How to say.
Le Zhengming reminded with disgust: "Variable."
"That's right, that's the variable! It's still the general's brain!" Everyone flattered Le Zhengming, but all looked straight at the young man.
The second Huai, who ran outside to wash dishes and fetch water, heard these words, and could not help shouting: "Mr. Zhuang, please speak slowly, I will be here soon! Wait for me!" At the end, he directly mentioned a pot of boiling water, He ran and fell, burning himself up and screaming.
Le Zhengming hurriedly stood up and took over the swaying small bowl.
When everyone came, Zhuang Li pointed to the two piles of beans and said, "As I said before, war is actually the collision and division of two dimensions. Based on this theory, it is completely feasible to achieve a victory with zero casualties. ."
A victory with zero casualties? That is to say, while killing the enemy to pieces, at the same time, we are still not dead? is it possible
The generals couldn't help but gasp, but no one questioned them again. On the contrary, everyone's eyes are brighter than the other, and the pupils are shining with the light of thirst for knowledge.
Zhuang Li divided the red beans and mung beans into two piles on the left and right, and continued: "You already understand the specific meaning of the war dimension, right?"
"Understood, all within the range are our war dimensions." Le Zhengming nodded and replied.
Zhuang Li dipped a little tea and drew two circles with equal diameters around the red beans and mung beans. "The bows and arrows used by the Jie people are no different from our bows and arrows. That is to say, the range of both of us is the same. the same size."
He slowly gathered the two piles of beans in the middle until some red and green beans were mixed with each other.
"Have you seen these beans mixed together? During the charge, they first entered the enemy's war zone and were shot by archers, causing the first wave of casualties."
As he said this, he continued to push the two piles of beans until they were fully incorporated.
The crowd watched his actions intently.
Zhuang Li pointed to the indistinguishable red and green beans and said, "Two war dimensions of equal area will only reach a stalemate in the end, resulting in a large number of casualties. This is the battle between two armies with equal numbers, no difference in weapons, and little disparity in strength. The consequences—both lost.”
Zhuang Li waved his sleeves and brushed all the beans that were difficult to decompose off the table.
The crackling sound made these generals who had been immersed in blood and blood all year round feel their scalps numb.
"So, when the number of people is equal, the use of battle formations will be particularly important. The variables I mentioned before are actually the number of troops, the generation difference of weapons, the average destruction rate of each soldier, etc. As long as these variables are increased, If our army always maintains a greater advantage, we will surely be able to achieve victory.”
Zhuang Li took out a pile of red beans and a pile of mung beans, and placed them on both sides of the long table. His slender fingertips moved quickly, forming a gossip shape from the messy mung beans.
"This is the Eight Diagrams!" Le Zhengming said, pointing at the mung bean.
The generals hurriedly put their heads together to take a closer look, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, it's the Eight Diagrams! I have studied this."
To be precise, as long as those who lead troops to fight have studied the Eight Arrays, this is the strange array invented by the god Mr. Zhuge of the previous dynasty, which is known as indestructible and invincible. But in reality, very few generals can set up this formation, because it is too complicated, and if the connection is not good, all the dead gates will become life gates, and the enemy army will seize the flaws and kill them.
The more complex the battle formation, the more difficult it is to apply on the battlefield, which requires the cooperation of many people.
Right now, what Zhuang Li wants to analyze is this formation. He didn't say anything extra, just picked up the red bean and sprinkled it into the mung bean, so soon, the red and green colors were mixed with each other.
Zhuang Li stretched out his fingertips, picked out all the red beans that fell on the blank grid composed of mung beans, and said lightly, "They are useless."
"Why?" Huai's second child asked in a rough voice.
The rest of the generals were also confused.
Le Zhengming said with disgust on his face: "Take a good look at what's around these blank grids."
After a closer look, everyone found that these blank grids were actually small squares composed of mung beans. In other words, when red beans fell into the blank space, they were already surrounded by mung beans.
The entire gossip array consists of sixty-four such grids, that is to say, the red beans equal to the number of mung beans are diluted into sixty-four parts after falling into the battle array, while the mung beans are glued together to form a complete, The unpredictable geometry can support each other at any time.
The generals stared straight at the pile of beans, and their eyes gradually released a scorching light. They seem to understand something!
Zhuang Li further inspired them: "If the number of red beans and mung beans is equal, 20,000 respectively, you can calculate, what is the 20,000 divided into 64 parts."
The generals broke their fingers, broke their fingers, took the money, and some people scratched their scalps in a daze, but they couldn't answer any of them in a short period of time.
Le Zheng thought for a while and then reported a number: "It's about 313."
Zhuang Li patted him on the shoulder and said with admiration: "Yes, it's 313. If 20,000 red beans enter such a battle, they will be divided into 64 parts by mung beans. That is to say, at the same time, the two teams will The battle strength is not 20,000 to 20,000, but 20,000 to 313. You can see the difference."
Only at this point did the general pat his forehead and shout: "I understand, I understand! Dispersing the enemy, and then dividing and strangling, this is the benefit of the battle formation! All the battle formations I have seen are actually this one. The truth! It's all the same!"
"That's right, before we were in Guandu, we also divided the enemy into small pieces, but we used a method of restricting their mobility, not a method of dispersing their forces, but the principle is the same! I read it. After more than 20 years of military books, I finally understood the mystery of the formation today!"
There are people who suddenly realize it, and then laugh wildly.
Can't blame them for being so excited, just because the description of Zhanzhen in the military book is too puzzling.
No, a general held a military book and recited indignantly: "In the eight formations, the sky, the earth, the wind, and the cloud are the four righteousness; the dragon, tiger, bird, and snake are the four oddities. The odd is also the righteousness. Positive, positive is also amazing, they are linked to each other in an endless cycle, the sky is round and the place is mutually restrained and mutually reinforcing, like the endless loop, the cycle goes back and forth, making it difficult for the enemy troops that penetrated into their formations to deal with it.”
He threw the military book on the ground, blushed and asked with a thick neck: "You say, what is this? What is strange and right, and what is right is strange, what does this mean? I can understand it. How many? People raised their hands and told me to count them."
You look at me, I look at you, and they all hide their hands behind their backs, but none of them can understand.
The general said enthusiastically: "But I understand everything Mr. Zhuang said just now! I also know how to use this formation! Damn, why didn't I meet Mr. Zhuang earlier? It's gone!"
He shook his head again and again, and choked his wrists again and again, and was about to cry with regret.
Being able to explain the esoteric battle formation so simply and clearly, Mr. Zhuang's talent is truly unfathomable.
The other generals also sighed sincerely. The so-called "listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books", that's what it means.
Zhuang Li raised his hand and pressed down, chuckling: "It's not too late to start learning war strategies with me. You are right, all battle formations are actually a geometric division of the war dimension. Most of the circular formations are used for defense, then It is because the area of the circle is the largest among all geometric bodies, and it can gather all our troops to fight against the enemy; the main attack of the phalanx is because the phalanx has strong mobility, can move left and right, flexibly form a team, and then fight the enemy's war dimension. Form an effective division. The gossip array is an array that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.
"That's what I mean by being inseparable from the original. However, this is not the zero-casualty combat mode I want to talk about." Zhuang Li paused here, and his narrow eyes glanced at the crowd.
Everyone took a breath and didn't dare to make a sound. The reverence for military advisors has been quietly implanted in their hearts.
Zhuang Li brushed off the previous pile of beans, took out two piles of beans again, placed them on the left and right sides, and smiled with his lips hooked: "You are optimistic, if the range of mung beans is seventy-two zhang, and the range of red beans is thirty feet. Six feet, what will happen when the two dimensions start a war?"
Everyone quickly deduced in their hearts.
However, Le Zhengming directly swept the red beans off, and said solemnly: "There is no need for substantial contact between the two war-dimensions, Mungdou can shoot all the red beans from a distance of seventy-two feet."
Then Zhuang Li clapped his hands and laughed lightly: "Yes, this is the real zero-casualty battle. So everyone, while we are training how to use the battle formation, it is best to improve our weapons."
"The crossbow can shoot seventy-two feet, but it is too big and heavy, and the manufacturing cost is high, so it is not suitable for large-scale use." Le Zhengming pondered.
"Don't worry, even if we can make weapons that can shoot farther, we don't have the raw materials and enough cost." Zhuang Li brushed off the mung beans left on the table, spread out a map, and pointed to Jin, which was occupied by the Mongolian army. "Let's knock down this site first."
The generals were horrified to take the lead, and then they clapped their hands in applause. After defeating the 80,000 Jie clan army with 40,000 troops, they swelled up.
7480 was stunned, dragged two broken hands and shrank in the corner, whispering in disbelief: "Jin is Shanxi, where there are a lot of coal and iron mines. Coal mines can be used to refine coke and tar, and tar is used to make explosives. One of the main raw materials of smelt. With iron ore, you can make steel, and then make long guns and cannons. Master, do you want to blow up this small world?"
It was Zhuang Li's very playful chuckle in response.
7480 suddenly collapsed to the ground, like a rag doll that had been tortured hundreds of times, and tears of pain and despair slowly flowed out.
It's wrong, it's really, really wrong! It shouldn't have sent the host to this backward small world, Child of Destiny will definitely be played to death by the host!
It doesn’t matter if you are good at scientific research, it’s normal to understand computers, but this weak chicken can even fight wars, which is outrageous!
