Chapter 138 Killing Bocai
Although Bocai still has an army of 50 under its banner, it is different now.

Bo Caidai led an army of 50, which was directly exposed on the plains. There were no defensive projects, no horses, no walls, nothing at all, just a bare 50 troops.

But what they have to face is 50 elite cavalry ready to go, so Bocai is in danger.

However, this was not the case. Originally, in Lu Chen's imagination, the cavalry should have rushed in like a bamboo shoot, and they should be the first to take the wave directly.

The current situation is that the cavalry has been greatly hindered. Although they are continuing to advance, the speed of advancement is getting slower and slower. According to this progress, it will be difficult to move an inch until Bocai is in front of him.

However, although Lu Chen was surprised, it was not beyond Lu Chen's expectation, because Bo Cai was also the supreme commander of an army of millions.

How could he be an incompetent person?If he was incompetent, he would not be the commander-in-chief of Yuzhou, nor would he be the supreme commander of the Eastern battlefield, one of the three major battlefields of the Yellow Turbans.

So although I was a little surprised at the speed of the advance, it was expected, and Lu Chen was not unprepared.

Lu Chen first kept the formation of the army unchanged, and continued to charge. After all, it is only a trend that it is difficult to move an inch.

Now Lu Chen's cavalry is quite fast, and there is no need to change formation.

But the good times don't last long, this wave is also a commander who can fight and is good at war.

An army of 50 soldiers slowly formed an army formation under Bo Cai's command when Lu Chen began to charge.

Circular array: Fuxi's congenital circular array was first created in the period of matrilineal clan communes in my country's primitive society, which can be confirmed by many sources in ancient literature records, prehistoric archeology, and ancient writing evolution.

It does not yet have the elements of the eight directions and eight positions, the center, and the strange soldiers mentioned by the ancient military strategists. At first, it was only a relatively well-proportioned circular or semicircular enclosure. Equal division on the circle, corresponding to the six-battalion division method, and laid the foundation for the transition to a planable formation. "Sun Bin's Art of War Ten Arrays": "The circular array is the reason for the 槫 also." (槫, sound zhuan, two tones, under the guise of regiment, means to adopt a circular defense.) It means that the role of the circular array is to act as an army in the field When turning to defense, it is necessary to change from a square formation to a circular formation and adopt a circular defense. Volume 54 of "Wu Bei Zhi" has "Pei Xuyan Sun Wu's Circle Formation"

Convert the original square formation to a circular formation. This is an army formation commonly used when encountering numbers or combat power higher than your own army on the plains. It is good at defense.

It was also expected by Lu Chen that Bo would use this circular formation. After all, there are only a few common defensive formations, and one of the most suitable formations is the circular formation.

So Lu Chen was ready to face the round formation, but there was one thing that caught Lu Chen off guard.

Circle formation, um, very good, it’s just a defensive formation, it’s just a forced charge, but I can also do circle formation, why didn’t I know that circle formation has such a great attack power, do you think I can’t use circle formation?
However, Lu Chen had a feeling that he couldn't understand Bocai's circle.

Because Bocai's circular formation has changed too much, or in other words, he just wore a circular formation of sheep's clothing and changed it to look like a wolf.

During Lu Chen's charge, the soldiers in the circle formed concentric circles with Bocai as the center.

And these concentric circles are not static, but in constant motion.

Under Bo Cai's command, one of these concentric circles rotated clockwise and the other counterclockwise.

Every two adjacent concentric circles run in opposite directions.

During this process, each concentric circle directly produced a huge strangulation force.

In this case, the military formation created on the basis of the circular formation not only perfectly inherited and improved the defensive power of the circular formation.

On the basis of this, a powerful strangulation power was added, that is, attack power.

Lu Chen had to sigh secretly, Bo Cai is really a great talent.

Of course, this army formation is not without its shortcomings. Its operation is several times more difficult than a circular formation, and it can only be fixed for defense, that is, to set up a battle formation and wait for the impact of others.

But it is also supremely elegant.

In fact, what made Lu Chen most fortunate was that Bocai did not have cavalry, but pure infantry formed to practice this battle formation.

If it was composed of pure cavalry, the strangling power in the battle formation would increase dozens of times.

At that time, Lu Chen would not dare to enter the battle, otherwise, Lu Chen's mere 20 cavalry would dare to enter, hum, and grind it into meat sauce for you every minute.

However, this is also one of the reasons for Lu Chen's attention. The cavalry also used defensive formations, but there were not many, and there were very few defensive and offensive formations.

And Pocai doesn't have elite cavalry, don't I?
In other words, Lu Chen has already set his sights on this army formation.

And the military formation should be created by Bocai, so how to get there?
There is only one way to kill Bocai and lose the army.

Facing the army formation that had turned into a meat grinder, Lu Chen did not panic, but began to slowly change the army formation during the charge.

Hmph, Junzhen, who wouldn't.

Under Lu Chen's control, the cavalry in the charge gradually became well-shaped and regular.

Looking down from Sky Mountain, you can see that the cavalry led by Lu Chen gradually turned into arrows, that is, the arrow array.

In fact, it is a conical formation, which is a cone-shaped battle formation. The conical formation must have a sharp and fast forward and strong wings. It can use the elite forward to attack the enemy in a narrow front, break through and split the enemy's formation, and expand the wings. The result of the battle is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs. The conical formation is also called the male formation.

In "Sun Bin's Art of War", the earliest book about formation unearthed today, there is a record of conical formation, and Sun Bin listed it as one of the ten formations.As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this formation has been widely used. Facts have proved that the conical formation is a very effective charge formation.

Moreover, it can be seen in the air that the outraged iron cavalry, which was originally protected by Lu Chen among the cavalry, has been slowly adjusted to the cone angle of the cone formation, and Lu Chen personally leads it.

Fang Tian's painted halberd, with half of the crescent moon missing, appeared majestic in Lu Chen's hands, and broke through at the front of the battle formation.

Then the outrageous cavalry widened the gap, and finally broke in.

After turning into a cone formation, there is the bonus of this cone formation method, and then there is the powerful impact of the Wrathful Iron Cavalry.

The charging speed of the 20 cavalry was more than a little faster, even faster than when they just entered the army formation.

The gap in strength cannot be bridged. In the face of absolute strength, all actions are futile, and strength can crush everything.

In the past, the Yellow Turban Army was a third-tier soldier, and the cavalry was also a third-tier soldier, although the combat power of the cavalry was higher than that of the infantry when they charged again.

But under the action of the military formation, it can barely persist.

But in front of the fourth-tier mid-level special arms, this military formation does not allow them to cross the gap between the third-tier (intermediate special arms, without counting their characteristics, are equivalent to ordinary arms of two higher ranks).

So, the result is predictable.
