On the commander's podium of the Chinese army, Zhuge Liang stood facing the wind with a feather fan and a turban, like a man banishing an immortal.
Below, there were messengers coming and going in a hurry. Information from each army was sent here in the shortest possible time, while Zhuge Liang quickly issued various orders. They all said that Zhuge was cautious and meticulous in his life. Liu Zhenming saw it today, as small as
The mobilization of hundreds of people, or the mobilization of thousands of troops and horses, was all decided by him.
This move not only allowed Liu Zhenming to see Zhuge Liang's superior intelligence, but also allowed Liu Zhenming to see the hidden dangers caused by Zhuge Liang's personal actions, that is, not many people were given the opportunity to grow. No wonder there were no generals available in the Shu Kingdom in the later period.
Seeing that Liu Zhenming was in a daze, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take the time to say: "Zi Qian, the only one who knows the opportunities of the eight formations is the king of generals! These eight formations are complicated indeed, but they are also very simple!"
Liu Zhenming was stunned and asked curiously: "Why did the teacher say this?"
Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Zi Qian, do you think there are more smart people in this world? Or do you think there are more mediocre people?"
Liu Zhenming guessed what Zhuge Liang meant and hesitated: "There should be more mediocre people."
"That's right!" Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said seriously: "So these eight formation diagrams should be as simple as possible for ordinary generals and soldiers. Only in this way can they execute the orders well, but overall
Technically speaking, the Eight Formation Diagram is not simple. It requires the general to be able to seize the opportunity at any time, understand the battle situation at any time and make correct countermeasures."
Liu Zhenming understood somewhat. The army in nine positions (there are eight armies in eight directions on the periphery, and the central army also has a mobile man and horse) only needs to be able to attack, retreat, and support. But Zhuge Liang had to be careful
Calculating the consequences of mobilizing each army, it is no wonder that these eight formations were eventually lost because the requirements for the coach were too high. This is not a dead formation, but a mobile formation that changes at any time.
, if you follow the script and follow the pictures, you will only be able to draw a tiger, but not a dog.
Zhuge Liang said earnestly and thoughtfully: "Zi Qian, we Shu generals are old and young, but you are the only one who is young. But your ideas are very mature. I hope you can take on the important responsibilities as my teacher."
What?
Liu Zhenming was silent. He was destined not to belong to this era. Here, he was just a passing passerby. Zhuge Liang's words left him with no choice but to respond in silence.
After exiting the Three Kingdoms scene, Liu Zhenming entered the Tang Dynasty scene and the Ming Dynasty scene respectively, discussing the Liuhua Formation with Li Jing and the Yuanyang Formation and the Sancai Formation with Qi Jiguang.
Whether these ancient offensive and defensive formations are useful in the age of firearms is a matter of opinion. At least Liu Zhenming gained something in his mind after seeing these formations. This is the most important thing.
It seems that China's tactical thinking began to lapse in the Qing Dynasty and could not keep up with the development of weapons. When the flintlock gun was used, the Western army had three-stage attacks. After the emergence of artillery, infantry and artillery coordinated operations, and then assaults.
Group tactics, etc.
Even the Japanese army, which Liu Zhenming scorned, still had what he called the wave attack method, and China seemed to have been following the footsteps of others.
Liu Zhenming is not willing to give in. With such resources, he will not forgive himself if he cannot create a set of effective defensive and offensive tactics.
After exiting the system, Liu Zhenming put the entire reclamation area defense map on the table. He was very familiar with the Liaoyang reclamation area. Every time he touched any point on the map, the terrain and fortifications of this place would flash in his mind.
The troops are coming.
Liu Zhenming sometimes wrote quickly, sometimes thought hard, sometimes sketched on the map, and sometimes scrawled and corrected it. After completing a map, under his sketching, it was soon covered with dense markings.
He tried not to change the fortifications in the reclamation area unless absolutely necessary, because building new fortifications would take a lot of time. The most important thing Liu Zhenming changed was the deployment of troops in each fortification.
"Infantry, artillery, engineers, machine gun squads, grenadiers, mortar squads, and cavalry." Liu Zhenming murmured while writing the army numbers of each on the map.
In Liu Zhenming's eyes, the entire reclamation area has become a formation similar to the Eight Formations. In his vision, each army has its own position and its own goals, optimizing its forces and coordinating all forces.
The army, instead of like that night, when Yue Yuyang's reserve regiment was attacked, he needed to personally lead the cavalry and personal troops to the rescue.
Within this defense system, it is easy to mobilize troops from other places to come to the rescue, and mobile troops can also take the initiative to attack and cut off the enemy's retreat.
A new three-dimensional military defense system that far exceeded the fortress defense system slowly took shape in Liu Zhenming's mind, began to ferment, and became clear.
Of course, all defense systems have their shortcomings. Even the Maginot Line, which the French spent countless dollars on, was bypassed by the Germans and failed to play its due role?
No matter how awesome Liu Zhenming's formation is and how well the defense system is built, Liu Zhenming will not hesitate if the Japanese army does not attack or adopts a long-term siege strategy. But as of now, it seems that the Japanese army is trying to seize this position.
Then quickly, there is no need to think about this issue for the time being.
"Huh!" Liu Zhenming breathed a long sigh of relief, put down his pen, and rubbed his temples. The creation of a tactic cannot be completed in an hour or two. Even if Liu Zhenming can gain the best of others in the training base,
, he was busy for a long time, but he only completed a small part of it.
Because the idea of this defense system mainly adheres to Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation Diagram, which treats heaven, earth, people, and weapons as one, and maximizes the cooperation between the armies, Liu Zhenming calls it the New Eight Formation Diagram.
defense system.
When the staff saw Liu Zhenming frowning and writing, they didn't dare to disturb him. It wasn't until he put down his pen that everyone gathered around him out of curiosity.
"Captain, are you going to redeploy your troops?" Li Shanshui asked after seeing the number of the escort army on the map.
Liu Zhenming nodded and said: "The Japanese army continues to attack our trench fortifications. What I care about is the lives of the soldiers, not the gains and losses of one or two trenches. If the Japanese army can pose too much danger to our trenches, I will
We will consider shrinking our troops inward, and when the time comes, we will deploy our troops accordingly."
When the staff heard this, they looked carefully at the map on the table. At first glance, they saw that the military deployment on it seemed a bit disorganized. However, upon closer inspection, they found that there was order in the chaos, just like playing Go.
, some seemingly useless chess pieces, but they hide endless killing potential.
Some of the more junior staff members looked dizzy, while the more senior staff members only had four words that flashed in their minds - broad and profound.
Du Changfeng and Li Shanshui felt cold sweat break out on their foreheads. They were both good at putting themselves in someone else's shoes. They compared the military deployment map and thought they were Japanese generals leading the attack. They immediately discovered that as long as they were not careful, they would
, the whole army will be annihilated.
The two looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.
"Captain, you haven't finished this yet?" Li Shanshui asked with shock in his eyes and some unfinished thoughts.
The light in Liu Zhenming's eyes skyrocketed, and he said ambitiously: "This is a brand-new defensive formation. I studied it from Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations of the Three Kingdoms. It is called the New Eight Formation Defense System. Map
The above is only the deployment of troops in three positions in one direction, and there are still five positions that have not been completed. This formation is adapted to local conditions and can include modern military fortifications such as bunkers, trenches, and bunkers, and finally form a set of our own Chinese defense system.
"
When the staff heard this, they were all very excited. China in this era lacked real strategists, and they seemed to have seen a master of strategists who was slowly growing up. This man was also their regimental commander. How could they not let them go?
