There are six armies in total: the Southern Army, the Zhennan Army, the Pingnan Army, the Border Army, the Reclamation Army, and the Zongmen Army.

Sixty thousand troops were lined up neatly on the campus, waiting for the inspection of General Zhengnan.

General Zhengnan's face was as sinking as water, and she stood silently on the high platform, looking at the 60,000 troops, but did not move for a long time, letting the strong wind blow her clothes violently.

Onlookers didn't know what was going on in her mind at the moment.

On the viewing platform nearby, people like Tong Pang, Zuo Qing and others were thinking again.

These people try their best to hide their own thoughts and try to figure out other people's thoughts. They are used to intrigues and intrigues.

At such a military parade, people from all sides are watching with different thoughts, waiting to see how the person on the parade stage will act.

Princess Changle suddenly spoke up, but this voice was a bit shocking.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to cover up the sound of the whole audience.

In the past, everyone focused more on the identity of Princess Changle. Prince Heli was interested in her, but her own strength was ignored by others. No one thought what Princess Changle's strength would be like.

Sample.

But as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she immediately showed that his strength was extraordinary.

The soldiers participating in the military parade were present, plus the hundreds of thousands of people in Zhenna City who were watching.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of bees buzzing together, the sound is extraordinary. To cover all these sounds, well, and still let everyone hear them clearly, this strength is not ordinary.

Once such strength was displayed, everyone present was shocked. Only then did they realize that they might have underestimated this general who conquered the south before.

Following the order from General Zhengnan, the army moved and began formation drills.

Formation is a field formation that must be practiced by large armies in battle. Not only is it the basis for fighting in formation, formation practice is also an effective way to train a ragtag army into a regular army.

Wave the flag on the review stage and practice the Bagua array first.

In this formation, the general is in the center, with a team of regular soldiers on each side, and four teams of mobile combat troops are sent between the regular soldiers to form eight formations.

The eight formations spread out into eight and then merge into one. They can be divided and combined to form sixty-four formations.

This formation is generally used as the most basic formation to practice the mutual familiarity between soldiers from each unit.

According to the instructions of the general's flag, the 60,000-strong army practiced the Bagua Formation very smoothly at different times.

From this point of view, although everyone has ulterior motives and is quite resistant to General Zhengnan, they all know what is going on and are well prepared for the military parade and drill.

Following the order of General Zhengnan, the flags were changed into semaphores, and now they were practicing the Star Spreading Formation.

The formation of the Star Spreading Formation is arranged like stars. When the enemy rushes towards them, the soldiers disperse instead of gathering together, causing the enemy to fall into the air.

When the enemy retreats, disperse

The soldiers who were leaving gathered around and attacked the enemy violently.

This formation is a little more complicated, it is a defensive and counterattack formation.

Generally, this formation is the first combat formation taught at the beginning.

The flag is waved and the order changes again.

Now it's a mandarin duck formation. Soldiers from each unit are immediately divided into three teams. When the enemy reaches a hundred paces distance, the first team of soldiers fires bows and arrows.

When the enemy advanced sixty steps, the second group of soldiers fired crossbows.

When the enemy advanced only ten steps, the soldiers of the third group charged at the enemy with swords and spears.

Although the Kingdom of the Emperor reigns supreme in this world, the feudal states below it are constantly fighting with each other. Often, the armies of two countries will engage in battle, that is, they will fight in a certain place, array themselves in order, and attack each other.

, this is the famous battle in formation.

Therefore, there is no army in a feudal country that is not good at formations.

Only a barbaric and uncivilized tribe like the people of the Southern Wilderness would mess around instead of fighting in formation, so they have always been looked down upon by others.

The flags and flags of the generals changed, and the formation also changed.

This is the fish scale formation. The general is located in the back of the formation, and the main troops are assembled in the center. They are divided into several small fish scale-shaped square formations, arranged in echelons, with the front end slightly convex.

This is an offensive formation, intended to concentrate troops to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy's formation. It is generally used when one's own side has the advantage. The weakness of the formation lies on the rear side.

Immediately afterwards, the formation changed into a forward formation. The general was in the middle of the formation, the main forces were assembled in the center, and the forwards were spread out in the shape of an arrow. This was also an offensive formation, intended to break through in the center.

It's just that the defensive nature of the front arrow formation is better than that of the fish scale formation. The open "arrow" in the forward can resist the pressure from the enemy's two wings, but the offensive nature is slightly worse, and the weakness of the formation is still on the tail side.

The general's flag is constantly waving, orders are constantly being issued, and the formation is constantly changing.

The formation changed to the Crane Wing Formation. The general was located in the middle and rear of the formation, surrounded by heavy troops, and spread his wings like cranes on the left and right. This formation was both offensive and defensive, and was intended to outflank the enemy from both sides.

However, this formation requires the commander to have high tactical command ability, and the two wings can be opened and closed freely. They can be used to attack both sides of the enemy's army, and can also work together to attack the enemy who breaks into the center of the formation. The general's defense should be strict to prevent

If the enemy breaks through, the two wings should be flexible, coordinate closely, and attack fiercely, otherwise the formation will be difficult to achieve its effect.

The formation changed to the Yanyue Formation, with the entire army arranged in an arc, shaped like a crescent moon. This is an asymmetrical formation, with the main formation located at the bottom of the concave crescent.

This formation focuses on attacking the flanks during combat and resists the enemy with thick crescents. The inner recess of the crescent may seem weak, but it contains dangers. The main formation has strong combat power. It is suitable for brave men with strong soldiers, and it is also suitable for certain people.

some asymmetrical terrain.

Then it changes into a square formation, with the general in the center of the formation, and the surrounding troops deployed layer by layer, with spears, bows and arrows outside, and mobile troops inside, fighting against the superior enemy.

Used during military battles.

This formation is intended for intensive defense, with a dense formation and strong defensive power. Because the dense formation limits mobility and lacks changes, it is difficult to pursue the enemy when they retreat.

This 60,000-strong army seemed to be dissatisfied with General Zhengnan, but who knew that when the formation was practiced, it moved like clouds and flowing water without any lag, and then the flying geese formation was formed.

Its troop deployment is like the diagonal flight of wild geese, in order to give full play to the power of the shooting unit.

Next is the long snake formation, which has very strong maneuverability but relatively weak combat effectiveness.

Then there is the chariot formation. The chariot formation is roughly similar to the square formation. The main general is located in the center of the formation, and the peripheral troops are deployed layer by layer. The difference is that the mobile troops are outside and form a number of mobile formations. When fighting, they rotate in the same direction and take turns.

Attacking the enemy formation looks like a rotating wheel.

The purpose is to continuously exert pressure on one part of the enemy's army, causing it to collapse due to exhaustion, while one's own side is replenished, rested, and restored to combat strength by taking turns to attack.

However, this formation is greatly restricted by the terrain. To be easy to maneuver, the general is required to have superb tactical command capabilities. He should be good at finding fighter opportunities and avoiding omissions in the rotation of the army. The long-lasting combat power is not conducive to quick decisions.

Some of the formations in this drill are basically formations commonly used in previous countries.

Formation drill has always been an important method for running armies in all countries.

Through formation drills, soldiers are taught the rules of advance and retreat, and the rules of gathering and dispersion, so that they can become familiar with various signals and commands, and be able to execute orders and prohibitions in a coordinated manner during battle. Only in this way can the overall strength of the army be exerted.

Generally, when fighting in formation, square, circle, and cone are the main ones.

These three types are used when fighting a grand formation. They depend on the strength of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the number of chariots. There is not much mystery at all, as long as the formation is orderly.

Among them, the conical formation is the main attack, and the most elite soldiers are placed at the front for impact.

The circular formation is the main defender, with elite troops placed in the center of the formation. The square formation is both offensive and defensive, with elite troops placed at the rear to ensure that the formation has sufficient thickness and counterattack strength.

As for sparse formations, several formations are skirmishing formations, with small groups of mixed infantry fighting alone in ranks, and are often used in complex terrain.

The Yanxing Formation is a special tactic used by crossbowmen and archers. Its advantage lies in increasing the frontal long-range firepower density of crossbowmen.

The other formations are more complicated and cannot be used freely unless they are well-trained, and they are also powerful, equivalent to the coordination of the arms of a large corps.

For example, the crossbowmen are in the front formation and retreat after shooting, the chariot troops are on both sides, the halberds are in the middle formation, and the spears are in the rear formation. What is important is to attack in waves, and each type of arms attacks in sequence, which is very interesting.

momentum.

In this wave of drills just now, the 60,000-strong army of the Army followed the laws of military formations of all previous countries, and there were no mistakes or omissions in the drills.
