Liu Feng then began to talk about his understanding of the formation.
"The so-called formation is actually a matter of coordination."
"To put it in a broader sense, it's the pinnacle of a general's control over his entire army. He can maximize the combat effectiveness of an army and achieve the greatest gains with the least losses."
"Among them, weapons, armor, and even every arrowhead are all part of this formation."
"These things are all used to kill the enemy, but only when all the things are properly configured can they exert their greatest power."
"So what's the point of a powerful military formation from a small perspective?"
"In fact, it is to facilitate deployment on the ever-changing battlefield. The most important thing for the army's combat effectiveness is deployment."
"Only by fully mobilizing the role of every individual and ensuring that every soldier plays their role well can we unleash endless power."
"Actually, it's just two words: delay and slow down."
"The core of the army's deployment lies in these two words."
Liu Feng squatted down, found a branch, and started drawing on the ground.
Draw two pictures.
Both pictures are very strange. One is a right triangle, and the other is a reverse triangle, but they are missing nine points connecting them.
"Today I will briefly explain to you the attack and defense of the formation."
You see, this one is going to transform into a formation, this one represents a formation.
"Let's think of this as an arrowhead. What's the purpose of this formation? It's fast and has a strong impact. It can quickly tear apart the enemy's army."
"So, after this formation is formed, the frontline deployment should be mainly heavy cavalry, as they have the greatest destructive power."
"The left and right sides are weak points, so we need strong tower shield soldiers to withstand the pressure from the enemy's encirclement."
"So, in this deployment, the left and right sides are more important than the charging heavy cavalry. Once the left and right sides are torn apart, the formation loses its effectiveness."
"Then the army in the formation will require the coordination of multiple branches of the military."
"Light cavalry, infantry, or archers are all needed. The advantage of light cavalry is that they are fast and can be mobilized at will to attack the enemy from behind."
"Of course, if we deploy spearmen and crossbowmen in the formation, we will have the ability to strike from a distance."
"In this way, the heavy cavalry can tear through the enemy's defenses, and the rest of the army can press forward without any problems."
Liu Feng explained the attack formation in one breath.
Then the next step is defense.
Compared to attacking, defense is actually more difficult.
"Defense is more difficult than attack, so the front line must be extended to effectively prevent the enemy from encircling us."
"Behind them are archers who are deployed for long-range attacks, ready to harvest the enemy's vanguard at any time."
"Of course, defensive operations cannot be rigid. We must constantly gather and coordinate the forces of all parties. We also need light cavalry to maneuver and surround the enemy from the flanks."
"What I told you are the basics of the formation."
"Look, I'm using nine dots now, which means both sides have nine armies. What if there are more armies?"
"This is a test of a general's courage. If you encounter an enemy force that outnumbers yours, splitting your army and presenting it in smaller groups will unleash greater combat effectiveness."
"You don't have to worry. Just follow what I'm teaching you now and go back and think carefully about these two formations."
"Think carefully about how to mobilize all of our Tiger Roar Army, which consists of over 3,000 men, to better unleash their combat effectiveness."
Liu Feng dropped the stick in his hand and clapped his hands with a smile.
Judging from the current preparation of the Tiger Roar Army, it can definitely crush any army in the world.
When the two armies officially confront each other, unless it is a melee where there is no distinction between friend and foe, the Tiger Roar Army will usually kill the people in the front before the people behind them have a chance to do so.
The Tiger Roar Army can rely on its powerful shields and equipment advantages to fully maximize its resistance capabilities.
Therefore, in many cases, the troops in the rear are used as mobile forces to achieve the goal of encircling the enemy on both wings.
This is why Liu Feng explained all this to several of their core generals.
After all, the Tiger Roar Army is very powerful and we cannot bury everyone's abilities.
Zhengde County is currently facing tremendous external pressure.
Right now, the Tiandihui and the Northern Barbarians will definitely join forces to launch a siege.
Even if Liu Feng gathered all the people in Zhengde County, regardless of gender, age or status, he would not be able to gather so many people.
Not to mention the Tiandihui, the Northern Barbarians are all soldiers, and they really have an army of one million.
What's more, although he has many powerful weapons in his mind, some of them cannot be used under the current conditions.
Besides, it takes time to build a crossbow or something like that.
So, now we face threats that may appear at any time.
The best choice is a military formation that allows the army to fully cooperate.
Without mentioning anything else, the three of them were all born as Generals of the Central Army and have a basic foundation. If they can learn the essence of these basic battle formations, offense and defense, then no matter whether they are guarding Zhengde County now or not.
It will definitely be enough for leading a large army into battle in the future.
Liu Feng would not let them fight alone.
Moreover, if the current trend continues and more and more people come to Zhengde County, Liu Feng will definitely not stick to such a small piece of territory at present.
In the future, the territory will inevitably be expanded, and the number of troops will increase.
