The way of marching and formation in Tianyuan Continent is obviously different from that in China!
At least, having Yuanli practitioners makes the command system more efficient and can convey instructions to the army faster. If it were on the ancient battlefield of China, there would be no gleaming command flags that could issue various combat orders in a timely manner. It can be said that in Tianyuan Continent, as long as the general is still there, military orders can be issued to the troops at any time. This is absolutely impossible on the ancient Chinese battlefield.
Kong Ming naturally knew very well how effective a fast and effective command system could be on the battlefield, and commanding with the Yuan Bing Ling Banner was definitely something Kong Ming could learn from.
However, the soldiers and horses on Tianyuan Continent are not without their weaknesses. Even if the ten thousand-man troops on the school field are under the command of He Muhua, they are very lively in drills, but they are just some simple cross-covers, side attacks, etc. Although the simple routine can be regarded as a coordinated operation between different arms, the battle formation changes are very simple and it has not yet formed a complete system!
In Kong Ming's view, if the soldiers on the Tianyuan Continent are taught the changes in battle formations on the Chinese battlefield, and then commanded in an advanced way such as the Yuanbing Order Flag, they will definitely be able to shine!
Therefore, while watching He Muhua's military horse training, Kong Ming had already begun to think about how to command his private army if it was initially built in the future, so that he could fully unleash the power of the "Eight Formations" on the battlefield. Woolen cloth
The "Eight Formation Diagram" is the culmination of Kong Ming's collection of many battle formation methods from ancient and modern war masters. It can almost be said to have reached the ultimate form of formation, with unpredictable power. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, no matter how Kong Ming trained his troops and horses and made each team proficient in the various changes of the "Eight Formations", he was still unable to display the full power of the "Eight Formations" due to the inconvenience of the command system. come out.
Therefore, when Kong Ming used the "Eight Formations" to deploy his troops during the Three Kingdoms era, he also had to use geographical advantages to ensure that after the war started, even if the command was not smooth, the foundation of the Eight Formations would not change and the formations could be used as much as possible. The power is shown.
As for now, as long as Kong Ming really has a way to convey the instructions quickly, then the soldiers and horses under his command can form the "Eight Formations" no matter when and where they are, and under Kong Ming's command Next, bring out all the miraculous changes of the eight formation diagrams!
If this could be achieved, even if only eight hundred-man troops were given to Kong Ming, they would be enough to defeat a million-strong army!
When Kong Ming thought about the joy, he couldn't help but get a little excited. He Muhua saw this and thought that Kong Ming was applauding his commanding skills. Naturally, he was full of energy and wanted to use all his tricks to suppress the situation.
As a Confucian general, He Muhua paid great attention to the changes in formations on the battlefield. The soldiers under his command also practiced hard, which enabled He Muhua to command the army like a hand with an arm and an arm with fingers, and perform various drills. Variety. However, the wars in Tianyuan Continent are different from the cold weapon era of China. Individual bravery can even determine the outcome of a war. This also makes Tianyuan Continent’s research on battle formations far behind China. Even a general like He Muhua, who is proficient in this art, has only scratched the surface of the art of formation.
The changes in battle formations under the command of He Muhua were indeed very good in Kong Ming's opinion. The only thing that interested Kong Ming was the advanced command method of conveying orders with Yuan Bing Ling Ban. Of course, even though He Muhua was showing off so hard, Kong Ming still wanted to express his goodwill to him, so he applauded and commented from the side from time to time.
How profound is Kong Ming's attainment in the art of formation? How sophisticated is his vision? Even just a few casual comments gave He Muhua a great inspiration, which raised his horizons to more than one level, and finally he barely came into contact with the real way of formation!
Later, Kong Ming would often just mention a few words casually, and He Muhua would fall into deep contemplation for a long time, thinking about the corresponding formation changes, and even forget about commanding the entire army to conduct drills. However, He Muhua's usual strictness in running the army was also reflected at this time, because as long as He Muhua's command flag stopped, the ten thousand-man troops and ten thousand horses below would immediately turn into stone and wood sculptures. Likewise, they all stood motionless on the battlefield!
This kind of iron army, even if it is still at the primary stage in the way of battle formation, can still exert quite terrifying combat effectiveness! What's even more frightening is that if there are some Yuanli cultivators in such a team as sharp knives to break through, I believe they will be able to exert quite terrifying destructive power on the battlefield!
If we really want to make a comparison, even if the soldiers and horses in Tianyuan Continent are not skilled in battle formations, with their far superior individual soldier quality, they should be able to completely defeat the Chinese army in the cold weapon era! Not to mention that there is also the Black Feather Army in the Forbidden Army, which is known as the most powerful army in Cangnan. This is an army composed entirely of practitioners. With their strong fighting power, why do they need any formations? As long as he pushes straight forward, who can stop him
Of course, when the quality of individual soldiers has been greatly improved, if they master the subtle changes of the "Eight Formations", then the combat effectiveness they can display will naturally be even more amazing!
As the martial arts exercise progressed, Kong Ming's thoughts had fallen on his private army, and He Muhua was also shocked by Kong Ming's remarks. He no longer had any interest in practicing soldiers and horses. The thousand-man team retreated on its own, but he grabbed Kong Ming and said with a hint of excitement: "General Kong's few comments just now are like enlightenment, they are really sobering! General Kong, if you don't mind me being presumptuous, If so, please come to my handsome tent to discuss it in detail, how about we discuss it with each other?"
Kong Ming cupped his hands and said: "Since it is what General He is asking for, do you dare not obey the order? Please!"
So Kong Ming and He Muhua walked arm in arm and walked straight into the commander's tent.
The furnishings in He Muhua's handsome tent are very simple, without the slightest luxury. It can be seen that He Muhua is a very strict self-discipline. The most conspicuous thing in the commander's tent is a sand table with a size of several feet square, which clearly marks all the terrain and landforms within hundreds of miles of Yunxia City.
With such an exquisite sand table as a reference, He Muhua can be targeted when marching and forming, allowing his troops to appear at the most critical positions!
Judging from the various situations after Kong Ming came into contact with He Muhua, He Muhua should be regarded as a famous general of the Cangnan Empire. Of course, this "famous general" is based on Kong Ming's comments. If people on Tianyuan Continent are allowed to evaluate, then personal military bravery is the most important indicator of becoming a "famous general"! Therefore, He Muhua, who only has the cultivation level of a high-level general, can barely be regarded as a senior general, but he cannot be equated with a "famous general"!
In the eyes of people on Tianyuan Continent, one must have at least a marshal-level cultivation to be qualified to become a "famous general", because a marshal-level strong man may decide a war just by relying on his own personal force. The winner or loser!
But in Kong Ming's view, no matter how powerful one's personal force is, he can only be called a "brave general". If he does not have the ability to coordinate the overall situation, how can he become a "famous general"
Therefore, He Muhua, who has the potential of a "famous general", is still able to catch the eye of Kong Ming, and Kong Ming is also willing to communicate with him.
He Muhua was still a little excited at this time. He couldn't help rubbing his hands and asked: "General Kong, I just heard you comment that 'surrounding three buildings and one' can achieve the effect of betraying the enemy more than attacking continuously. It really makes my eyes light up, I wonder if General Kong can explain it to me in detail?"
Kong Ming smiled slightly and said: "Battlefield fighting is a matter of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred! Even if we win a complete victory on the battlefield, attacking the enemy with all our strength will only inspire the enemy to fight to the death. , but it is more difficult to annihilate. Instead of doing this, it is better to attack three sides and deliberately expose a gap to let the enemy have the idea of escape. In this way, the enemy will naturally have no fighting spirit and will only retreat without any plan. Our army can only If you need to cover it up later, you can naturally get the greatest results at the smallest cost!"
This kind of tactics comes from the saying in "The Art of War" by "Sun Tzu," "Besieging an army must be surrounded, and don't pursue the poor enemy!" This sentence can be said to be common sense known to every leading general in China. However, Tianyuan Continent has never had a military master like Sun Tzu, so naturally there is no such exquisite tactical theory!
Ordinary generals may not care about the importance of these tactical theories, but as a Confucian general, He Muhua has always liked to study this aspect. However, he has no one to guide him, so he can only figure it out like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant. Now with Kong Ming's comments, it's like a whole new world has opened up in front of He Muhua, which naturally makes him excited and wants to learn more from Kong Ming's mouth.
To Kong Ming, it was just some superficial military theories, but to He Muhua's ears, it was like the sound of nature. He was even willing to act as a disciple and ask Kong Ming for military advice. Naturally, Kong Ming would not be so trusting. Instead, he taught He Muhua some basic military theories in the name of mutual communication. But even so, He Muhua benefited greatly. Many problems that he had not been able to figure out before suddenly became clear. Suddenly enlightened.
In this way, the so-called invitation to Kong Ming to inspect Bingyi turned into Kong Ming's military lecture, which made He Muhua, the only student, so excited that he didn't feel the passage of time at all!
