Bai Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Never, but the champion who led the army this time is very skilled in military affairs and is extraordinary. I have learned from my brother.
His Majesty gave him the title of Champion, so we can understand his intention."
Sima Qian: "As I travel around the country, I hear a lot of praise for this champion. I'm about to take a look at his military formation drills to see what's surprising about him."
At this time, Liu Qing went to sit down with Qin Qingyu, while Huo Qubing came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty."
Liu Che waved his hand, indicating that the training could begin.
On the school field, Huo Qubing turned around and made a gesture to Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu in the distance.
Boom--boom!
The war drum suddenly beat, and the sound shook the school grounds.
In the Han Dynasty, the battle formation command and the way to convey orders were no longer limited to war drums or bells, but also included flags, arrow signals, and horns.
But when commanding an army, war drums are still the most used, because they have strong penetrating power and can be transmitted to every corner of the battlefield.
On the battlefield where cold weapons are clashing, the ability to deliver orders in a timely manner and implement them is one of the main factors that determine victory or defeat.
Therefore, the way of signaling and ordering the battlefield is very important.
All parties are working hard to study who can execute orders and prohibitions and communicate accurately and efficiently, which is equivalent to taking the initiative on the battlefield.
At this time, the war drums sounded, and the vibration on the ground suddenly became violent, like thunder.
Two teams of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed into the school grounds from the other side of the school grounds two hundred feet away.
Each of these two teams was armored, wearing black armor with dark red blood lines and riding military horses.
When they entered the school grounds, they formed a double dragon formation and marched together.
Then the queues quickly interspersed, with the left column going to the right and the right column going to the left. The wonderful thing is that both sides are in the same position as each other and pass by each other, just like gears meshing with each other and interlocking.
The entire thousands-long team did not stagnate at all. Every other person crossed left and right.
The transformation process of the military formation is as fast as clouds and flowing water, which is breathtaking.
The scene of thousands of troops galloping and running wildly has a shocking feeling that can move people's hearts.
"What projects have you arranged for this military training? Are there any battle formation drills?" the emperor asked.
Huo Qubing: "There are not only battle formation drills, but also supernatural powers. There are several types of military formations. The ministers have made some improvements. I am going to invite your Majesty to take a look."
Everyone around was listening to the conversation between the two, and they all looked sideways when they heard what they said.
We must know that the art of military formations has a long history since the Spring and Autumn Period. It has evolved from the mixed battle formations of the Warring States Period, the Yanyue Formation of the Zheng State, the Square Formation of Wei Shu, the Infantry Formation of the Wu State, the military formations of the Qin Dynasty, etc., etc.
The military strategists of the past dynasties have been striving for excellence and have become very mature. It is not easy to make even the slightest change.
So Huo Qubing said that his skills on military formations had actually changed and improved.
From a certain point of view, this is equivalent to saying that he can compare with the great military strategists of the past generations, so he dares to optimize and improve the military formations passed down by them.
Even Liu Che's face, which rarely changed, showed a little surprise, and the others looked at Huo Qubing in unison.
During this time, Dong Zhongshu, Fan Xi, and Zhou Ping, who had already recognized Huo Qubing's military talents, couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this.
Improving military formations and actual combat are completely different levels.
Not to mention Huo Qubing, even Wei Qing, no one thought he could compare with those sages who studied military formations and laid the foundation of military strategists.
All the civil servants, as well as some military generals, were somewhat disapproving.
If you want to improve the military formation, it is very valuable to make even the slightest changes... This is what most people think.
Haha... Someone chuckled, and it was in the direction where Longluhou Chen Xiang was.
On the school field, there were two thousand cavalrymen rushing into the field.
They passed by each other in a double dragon formation, and then transformed into a scissors formation, and the formation continued to change while running rapidly.
The roar of horse hooves.
The team suddenly separated into two lines on the school field, riding from left to right, roaring towards the central viewing platform.
Huo Qubing made a gesture, and the next moment, the entire army suddenly stopped moving.
The visual impact of moving at high speed, reining in the horse at the same time, and suddenly stopping made some people shudder quietly.
The civil servants and members of the clan who had previously thought that the battle formation drills were of little value were involuntarily attracted to the military formations on the school grounds.
Thousands of troops gathered together, and the strength of the troops was far beyond their expectations.
And this is just the beginning.
Wow!
Reorganize the queue and move again, from slow to fast.
They entered the formation with two dragons coming out of the water. At this moment, they quickly transformed into a three-talent formation, followed by a four-door pocket-bottom formation, a five-army formation, and then a six-door and six-arm formation.
When the queue arrived at the formation of the five armies, Dong Zhongshu had already seen the key, his back straightened up slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Sima Qian also quickly saw the essence of it and asked in a low voice:
"Master, is this the Five Army Beast Hunting Formation that Hou Huaiyin studied and used in the past, but was lost after his death and no one can use it?"
The so-called five-army formations include square formations, circular formations, conical formations, flying geese formations, and hook formations. The difficulty lies in the fact that all formations must be seamless.
Everyone's position moves forward or backward, and when combined together, there are no mistakes or omissions before it can be used in actual combat. Only by integrating offense and defense in the changes can the opponent be unable to cope with it and its power is incomparable.
After Han Xin, many military strategists of this dynasty were studying this kind of military formation.
Because it can be used offensively or defensively, with endless changes, the actual combat effect is amazing.
However, no general dared to use it in actual combat. The reason is that such a complex military formation must be used in actual combat without fear of interference from the opponent. The difficulty is simply insurmountable.
So far, no one understands why Han Xin was able to use the five-army beast hunting formation in actual combat, with various changes, and the battle formation was not chaotic.
"This is not just a five-army formation, it has indeed been improved."
Dong Zhongshu has always been able to be inclusive and learn from many schools of thought.
Because he made the military palace slips, he had done a lot of research on the strategies and practices of military strategists. He immediately said: "The five-army formation shown by the champion seems to be faster. It pursues the speed of change and gives up a little bit of offense and defense.
The power on.
The military formations of the Marquis of Huaiyin and Huaiyin each have their own strengths. But it is even more difficult for him to show it with cavalry."
Really improved, simpler and faster.
At this time, the military formation was still changing and moving in a coquettish manner.
Even Emperor Wu didn't expect that Huo Qubing could demonstrate the general's formation training so vividly in such a short period of time after taking over the guard.
He is an emperor who understands military affairs and sees the key points, so his eyes are shining and he stares at the battle formation on the field for a moment.
In fact, it is not surprising that Huo Qubing could improve military formations.
He used Han Xin's unique method, which was to divide the Yin body and combine it with the resurrection of the corpse.
This technique can not only revive corpses, but also affect the souls of ordinary people.
Huo Qubing used the technique of borrowing corpses to resurrect the souls of the troops at multiple key positions, divided his spiritual thoughts, and blended with them, he was able to directly convey orders to these troops through his consciousness.
This is the most correct way to use the corpse to bring back the soul. It fundamentally solves the problem of unsmooth communication on the battlefield and truly makes the team move forward and retreat as one.
Han Xin was invincible and was called the Immortal of Soldiers. This unique communication method and his ability to dispatch troops must also be one of the factors.
Now it was Huo Qubing's turn.
He activated his magical powers in his mind, and the thousands of troops on the entire campus were like chess pieces.
The several military units connected to him with his spiritual thoughts immediately led to changes in the team, allowing the military formation to show orderly changes and power.
The exquisiteness of the process stunned several generals who knew military affairs.
This kind of military formation training, with the ability to use one's arms and fingers like one's arms, is exactly what all military strategists dream of.
This kind of training and improvement may be more important than actually achieving military merit, because what is improved is the combat level of the entire Han army.
"No matter how well the military formations are trained, they may not be able to be used on the battlefield."
I don't know who suddenly made a comment. He did not comment on the quality of the military formation, but pointed out the impracticality of the training from another angle.
Huo Qubing glanced at Longluhou Chen Xiu who was a little far away.
To be continued...
