However, no matter how powerful the formation is, it still requires morale.

Viewed from the viewing platform, six plumes of black smoke are rising straight into the sky on the main campus. This is the vindictive smoke, indicating the morale of the army.

Among them, of course, the Army of Conquering the South, the Army of Zhennan had the strongest morale, and the black smoke was the thickest, purest and highest, while the others were a bit more messy and thinner.

The battle formation is the source of soldier morale, especially for a side whose individual combat capability is weaker than that of its opponent, it is more important to pay attention to maintaining the formation.

Only by maintaining the formation can the power of group operations be unleashed.

Generally speaking, in a major war, the greatest casualties and results are not in the organized confrontation, but in the destruction of the enemy's organized battle.

The formation is the external manifestation of organized combat, that is to say, the massacre begins only after the formation is destroyed.

When there is not much difference in strength between the two sides and they are confronting each other, the two fighting parties often find ways to first destroy the stability of the enemy's formation.

For example, sending a small number of fast-moving elite troops to continuously and repeatedly attack to prevent the enemy from forming a formation.

During the formation process, archers are often sent to occupy and control a certain area of ​​land, and long-range attack weapons are used to control large areas. This is to "shoot the formation" to prevent the enemy from rushing into the formation.

When breaking the formation, strong warriors are sent as the vanguard to break into the formation and then the army breaks through forcefully. This is the so-called warrior trapped in the formation.

The formations commanded and drilled by General Zhengnan are basically just ordinary military formations, and this is a world of practice. Sometimes magic weapons are needed when setting up the formations, which means the party setting up the formations needs to carry them, or in

What can be buried in one or more holes of the formation can form the formation, and it can also increase the power of the formation, such as Wu Feng's mountain-protecting formation, the Big Dipper Formation.

In legends, there are many very powerful magic circles.

For example, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Formation was built by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, which can condense powerful projections.

Unfortunately, the Twelve Ancestral Witches never appear at the same time. The true power of this formation is almost never revealed and can only be passed down as a legend.

The Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation is composed of 365 demon gods and 14,800 great demons, holding star flags, and is huge.

It is also said that 365 demon gods are the main ones, and a total of 129,600 demons have formed the formation. However, because it requires powerful magic weapons to suppress the formation, it is inferior to the formation of the Twelve Capital Gods.

The Zhuxian Sword Formation is composed of the Zhuxian Four Swords and the Zhuxian Sword Diagram. It can fight one against four. The existence of the Zhuxian Sword Diagram allows this formation to be set up in an instant, and it is extremely powerful.

However, these powerful magic circles only exist in legends.

At least in Li country, no one has seen such a formation so far.

But for example, the military forces of various countries naturally have their own magic formations.

Crane Wing is

The formations commonly used in formation battles are formations designed for encirclement.

In this formation, the main general is located in the center, with deputy generals on both sides. It is best to use powerful troops on both sides. When our troops appear behind the enemy, the two wings can be immediately stretched to join our troops and form an immediate encirclement.

This is a formation that can be actively attacked. In fact, strictly speaking, it is about forming an encirclement.

Then divide the corps into five or six sections, forming a layer-on-layer formation.

The position of the general is in the middle and rear, and the difference between fish scales and cones lies in the width of the triangle.

Moreover, the troops at the front are usually very densely packed with those protecting the general. This arrangement creates a different result than the cone shape.

Since the cone-shaped troops are relatively scattered, the effect of pushing each other is small and the movement speed is very fast. However, the slower fish scales can attack because the troops at the front are very dense, so the entire army will not be scattered, but the cone-shaped troops are not scattered.

meeting.

Yulin and Crane Wing are both civilian formations, which means that the general does not need to lead the attack in front, but hides behind. However, Yulin's defense is very weak. If someone rushes from behind, the whole army will immediately collapse because too much of the back is exposed.

.

The sharp arrow formation has always been known as the first formation in the army. It forms an arrow shape across the entire army, with the general at the front, so it is suitable for brave generals with high combat effectiveness.

Since the troops at the front are very dense, they are also in an assault formation. And the so-called assault formation is not the only formation that can assault. In fact, all formations can issue assault orders, but they may not be able to do so.

Assault effect.

In addition, the rear of this formation is a parallel formation, so the movement effect in mountainous areas is quite good. Of course, the defense of this formation is also very weak, with too much behind exposed.

However, the biggest advantage of this formation is that if you use magic to form a magic circle, you can form a huge arrow and completely break the enemy's formation.

The yoke refers to the crossbar in front of the car, which is the "X" formation. The biggest effect of arranging the formation in the "X" shape is that the enemies coming from the front, left and right are all the same as the front, which is a very good

mountain defensive formation.

At the same time, this formation is also a very good formation, and it can also trap the enemy in it like a pocket.

If we say that the formations practiced before are still a bit too big and have no practical effect, they are different from the geographical situation of the Southern Wilderness and are just formal exercises one by one.

So some of the formations practiced by General Zhengnan now are all formations practiced based on the terrain of the Southern Wilderness, and formations have begun to appear.

To be honest, the terrain of Southern Wilderness is really suitable for the operation of this small magic circle, especially this fire attribute magic circle.

Taking advantage of the bad environment, a large area was burned, which invisibly enhanced the formation's lethality.

When General Zhengnan arrived at the drill,

While here, the people on the viewing platform all nodded, thinking that this general who conquered the South still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

It may have been a misunderstanding before. Regardless of whether he was opposed to General Zhongnan, his impression of him had somewhat improved. Even people like Zuo Qing, who was at odds with General Zhengnan, nodded slightly.

Although Zuo Qing hated Princess Changle for serving as a general in the southern expedition, he himself was a true loyalist of the Liwang faction.

King Li sent a general to lead the army to conquer the people of the Southern Wilderness. The main purpose was to expand the territory of Li Kingdom. As a loyal minister of King Li and a minister of Li Kingdom, he naturally hoped that the soldiers would win the battle instead of losing.

.

So when General Zhengnan showed complete incompetence and used northern battle formations to practice in the south, Zuo Qing was also very angry and had even secretly made a decision in his heart.

As soon as the military parade is over, he will report to the king of Li and ask him to replace the general who conquers the south.

However, as the formations practiced by General Zhengnan gradually transformed into some tested formations that were suitable for the southern wilderness battlefield, Zuo Qing's attitude immediately changed. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to appreciate the drills.

These formations.

General Zhengnan himself, with his face as deep as water, ordered his subordinates to wave the general's flag on the reviewing stand and issue a series of orders.

But gradually, the 60,000 troops under the stage were a little unable to keep up with the situation while practicing the formation.

This is because some of the formations practiced previously were basic formations with a one-month buffer time. All parties also expected that General Zhengnan would definitely see these formations and might have to practice them to the point of intensive training.

Fan, can also act in a similar way.

But now the drills are more practical, such as those improved small formations, and those magic formations, the Southern Expedition Army that has had fighting experience with the people of the Southern Wilderness, and the four Zhennan Army that were divided into

Place of Thousand Corpses.

There is also the private army of the Liu family. Although they have not fought in the Southern Wilderness, with the ability of the Liu family, they must have tried it, so it is better to practice. But like those colonization soldiers, there are still

The performance of the six soldiers from Qianhu Station who arrived later was quite poor, but this was not the worst.

The worst thing is the sect army. A sect is a 10,000-strong army composed of many sects, large and small. There is a lack of coordination with each other and they are not very familiar with each other.

In addition to the formation thing, to be honest, although each major sect has some of its own formations, it is actually very different from this military battle formation.

These 10,000 sect troops were barely able to keep up when they were practicing previously.
