Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() It shows that Xiliang Jun and Cao Jun, who are friendly in the world, have a secret grievance. As for when conflicts will break out, it depends on their patience.The seemingly incompatible Allied forces returned to their camps to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

This time with the Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao Cao has some confidence in his heart. As for whether he can use his arms like a finger, Cao Tian's sun is the most warming, and the people who are in the sun are lazy and don't want to wake up.The military order was like a mountain, and under the loud reprimand of the officer, the soldiers slowly put on their clothes and started a rich breakfast before the war.

The breakfast before the war is the most sumptuous, and the soldiers are responsible for making a pot of hot rice.The staple food tube is enough, how much to eat, how much to give.Everyone can also add a piece of delicious fat, which can only be enjoyed during the New Year and holidays.Even the vanguard and the cavalry can eat a full meal each, plus half a jug of wine.Although the food is pleasant, it cannot conceal the cruelty behind it.

After everyone was full, the preparation stage began. The soldiers helped each other put on their armor and wipe their swords.Carts of arrows, swords and other weapons were also released.The soldiers are gearing up, preparing for the next big battle.

Xu Chu's army went first, as the prestigious Tiger Guards were Wei's strongest attacking infantry, Cao Cao supported the army formed after Emperor Xian, selected extremely strong men, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.When the tiger guards attacked, they were like fierce tigers descending the mountain. They were extremely swift and fierce, which was really a nightmare for the enemy.

This time Xu Chu was holding his breath, and he must save face.In the past, Dian Wei, the former commander of the Tiger Guards, was defeated in Wancheng, and it was a disgrace to the Tiger Guards to be killed.If he was defeated by a guy named "Huo Jun" again, although he was surrounded by the lord, he was the most face-saving general, so why didn't he recover from such a disastrous defeat.

So in this battle, Xu Chu immediately asked Cao Cao to be the elite of the front army of the three armies.Seeing that the morale of Xu Chu and his tiger guards was good, Cao Cao agreed to his proposal.Let Xu Chu be the vanguard of the army and defeat the enemy first.

Including the 2 Xiliang Army, Cao Cao's army has reached a terrifying 10 people here, and even has the world's brave Xiliang Iron Cavalry.Liu Qi has only 8 soldiers on foot and water, and only 7 capable of land combat, including [-] recruits.This battle, Liu Qi is afraid that it will be very difficult.

The previous advantage—the cavalry has also become the shortcoming of Liu Qi's army at this time. The Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Dai and Pound are not vegetarians.

The main formation of Cao Jun's army is a cone formation, which is the main attack.The vanguard is a chariot formation, and the most elite cavalry is placed at the front for impact.Cao Chun led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and the left and right wings were three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry led by Pang De and Liang Xing. This was Cao Cao's repeated request, and Ma Dai and others agreed to put them in front of the formation.After that came Xu Chu's [-] guards, all of whom were tigers, wearing heavy armor and holding broadswords. They were heavy infantry and served as the vanguard of the infantry.

Most of the cavalry's tactics are frontal assaults, long-distance raids, strategic encirclement, breaking the enemy's rear, etc., even the Huns, the ancestors of cavalry tactics, only have these.But at this time Huo Qubing, the general of the Han hussars, figured out a new tactic, the car suspension.

Car suspension is actually an enhanced version of assault tactics, but it is much more domineering than assault, and it does not swarm like assault, and pays more attention to the distance between cavalry, (front and back, left and right, the use of each weapon, sometimes even It is also intentional to widen the distance between the rows so that the enemy has a gap to hide, so as not to block the road of the front army and leave it to the cavalry behind to clean up) to cooperate, which is equivalent to a cavalry version of the cone formation. The difference The width is larger and the depth is narrower.Because the chariot formation is not a formation in the strict sense, at least compared to an infantry formation, there is no effective coordination between various arms, and it is a purely cavalry shock tactic.

Cao Chun only learned superficially, but Lieutenant Pang De will study it himself at that time. I am afraid that Liu Qi's Jingzhou soldiers will suffer.The 5000 Qingzhou soldiers who followed were led by Cao Cao himself. They were Cao's central army, the main force and the core of the entire army.General Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and Cao Hong were the generals of the counties.Divided into six squares, each with [-] people.They are the spear formation, the chariot formation, the sword shield formation, the heavy halberd formation, the war spear formation, and the mixed bow and arrow short sword formation.The chariot array is at the front, which is the first column of the Chinese army; the spear array and heavy halberd array are behind it, which is the second column; the third column is a mixed array of archers and daggers in the middle, with sword and shield arrays, and war spear arrays on both sides. , as a cover.The formation of bow, arrow and short sword is also the location of the formation. The large flag of the Chinese army, the command flag, Cao Cao, the commander of the three armies, and all the counselors are among them.

There are five thousand crossbowmen in the middle of the entire Chinese army, led by the Confucian general Man Chong, as the tactical-level soldiers and horses of the Cao army, among the entire Cao army.

Outside the central army are the left and right wings of the infantry. There are three thousand spearmen, three thousand long halberd soldiers, and four thousand knife shield soldiers under the command of Zhang Jai and Gao Lan, besides Yanzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers.This is a formation that directly protects the formation, "for the left and right wings of the formation".The reason why this formation is set up is to prevent the enemy cavalry from concentrating their forces on the formation and attacking the large formation sideways. On the one hand, if they fail to defend, they will have the risk of rushing, so they set up the kidnapper formation as a rescue.The spear array is in front, the sword and shield array is in the middle, and the long halberd array is behind, guarding the central army in a semi-arc.

The outermost ones are the auxiliary left and right wings of Ma Dai and Houxuan's cavalry army, covering the joints of the formations.Each led [-] cavalry, but they were a little far away from Cao Cao's army. As Cao Cao's ranger soldiers and horses, they were not the main force in the decisive battle.

After the combination, Li Tong's 1 horses were divided into four square formations, each with 500 soldiers, all of which were light infantry.In order to suppress the army, guard against the rear of the army.

Cao Cao's army has a total of [-] soldiers, more than [-] horses, and [-] chariots.Stretching for more than ten miles, it is mighty and mighty, and the sound of drums is loud.The entire Cao army was mobilized, attacking Liu Qi's army like dark clouds all over the sky.Cao Cao was a military master throughout the Three Kingdoms period, and his understanding of formations in the early stage may be second to none, and Zhuge Liang in the later stage may only be able to draw with him. <Autumn and Warring States period flourished.After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han rose.After the early Han Dynasty, it gradually declined.Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's generation of military advisers went to battle, and formations rose again.

Some people will think that the formations in Chinese history are pure nonsense, but they have misunderstood it. The real reason is that Chinese romances and films have made ancient formations a joke.For example, the one-character long snake formation, the six Ding Liujia formation, the nine palaces and eight trigrams formation, the eight-door golden lock formation, idiot directors, false props, unqualified extras, and crappy directors, the influence on people is fake , it is no wonder that some people think that the formations in Chinese history are all fake. <Qiu Zhiqin's formation is not as complicated as shown in the film and television drama, it is very simple, roughly divided into two types: offense and defense.In Sun Bin's art of war, the general formation is completely and systematically divided into eight formations, namely: "square, circle, cone line, geese line, hook line, Xuanxiang, sparse formation, number formation, and fire formation, water formation." The latter two are It is only used in special combat situations, generally square, circle and cone are the main ones. These three are used when fighting a majestic formation. It depends on the strength of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the number of chariots. There is not much mystery to be had. In other words, as long as the queue is neat.
