Chapter 3355 Change of Formation(2/2)
At the same time, the evolution of Cao's army also promoted the gradual evolution of the Feiqin cavalry.
Originally, in the Cavalry Army, the cavalry with a long horse lance began to be replaced with spears and war knives, from blindly emphasizing impact to taking into account both impact and mobility. The simple form of the cavalry began to gradually evolve, and evolved towards the ultimate form of ancient cavalry that could eventually become a long-range that could be harassed and pulled, and could be broken through in close combat.
The evolution of the Feiqin cavalry once again suppressed the Cao army and had to follow up again, which made the Cao army begin to study various tactical cooperation, no longer using infantry to conquer the world, but the long-range tactics against Xu Chu can be seen. Infantry began to combine with long-range, and bows were used to maintain range and firepower, and crossbows were used to deal with heavy armor. In addition, crossbows and catapults formed a multi-level and multi-purpose firepower output structure.
Perhaps in a while, both sides will evolve again...
Therefore, whether it is Fei Qian's cavalry army or Cao Cao's central guard army, they all change with the changes in military technology and military equipment, and there is no formation that can break away from the specific tactical formation formed by military technology and military equipment. First there is equipment, then there is technology, then there is tactics, and then there is formation.
Formation has always been an adjunct to tactics, not the other way around.
Before the two sides really start a war, no one knows what the tactical deployment of the other side will be like and how the reserve team will use it. However, excellent generals will decide the tactical strategies they should adopt based on the enemy's combat habits and troop deployment, as well as the reconnaissance of the battlefield before the war, and the situation in the future of the battlefield.
Hussars are strong and elite, but the only problem is that they are expensive and relatively small because they are expensive. Therefore, all the tactics of Fei Qian revolve around this feature. In contrast, Cao's army has many soldiers, and the tactical characteristics of Cao's army are different according to its own conditions.
So what Cao Hong is thinking about now is whether the cavalry will attack the camp?
How do he attack?
Should we use cavalry to attack the surroundings and find a breakthrough?
Or use infantry to advance, just like before attacking the camp at the slope?
Cao Hong has seen artillery in Tongguan.
The cannon is indeed very powerful, but if it is not hit, then nothing is wrong.
If you want to break through the village wall, then go and bomb.
The village wall is gone, there are earth walls, earth walls are gone, and there are earth plates!
Even if so many fortifications are left to the cavalry and artillery to bombard, how long will it be?
Cao Hong stared at Fei Qian in the distance, wanting to know what method Fei Qian should use to attack the camp.
Because Cao Hong did not believe that the formation that Fei Qian was now posing was the offensive tactics that Fei Qian was about to adopt.
This formation similar to the traditional central breakthrough and the coordinated formation of cavalry on both sides seems to be luring Cao's army to attack.
Not only are the artillery camps in the center, but also the flag of Fei Qian.
It's like one, no, two beauties are posing in the middle of the stage...
Come on, come on.
If Cao's army was really excited to fight out, the strong man holding a big stick next to him would jump out with a bang.
Cao Hong is not that stupid.
During combat, if the general wants to quickly make the entire army respond to their intentions, then the content of these specific tactical arrangements is the core of the preset formation. How to make established tactical deployments with the cooperation of their respective units is the essence of the formation. In other words, in addition to the specific military formation layout, the real core part is how to expand the formation, how to dispatch troops, and how to use the advantages of troops and weapons to restrain different opponents.
This is the secret mystery of every outstanding general.
Formation formations, the same is "format", the difference is "type", and the method.
Is Fei Qian a stupid opponent?
Obviously not. So Fei Qian must have some malicious intentions when he puts forward such a somewhat rigid formation. Unless Fei Qian wants to do a pig storm tactic, this simple way of putting infantry in the middle and cavalry on both sides will be placed. Any general with some experience will do this. What else can be praised?
If there is a tactical formation of military formations without the use of scheduling training, it is easy for the opponent to capture the weakness of defense.
Fei Qian almost put his weakness in front of Cao Hong, so Cao Hong was very sure that this weakness was a trap.
The formation reflects the strategic intentions of the main general. In many cases, in order to cover up their tactical intentions, the initial distribution of troops is often regular and balanced, and even has geometric symmetrical significance. Just like the formation that Fei Qian is now on, if the discontinuity of those soil plates is not considered, resulting in a slight deviation in the formation, then Fei Qian's entire formation is symmetrical left and right...
Cao Hong understood that the true meaning of Fei Qian's doing this was to confuse himself and prevent him from guessing the overall tactical intentions of the cavalry based on Fei Qian's deployment, and at the same time, he retained the possibility of adjusting the tactical deployment against Cao's army.
After all, the formations of the two sides are at a certain distance. As long as Cao's army moves, Fei Qian can draw the reserve team according to the development of the battle situation, implement his own tactical intentions, or deflect the proportion of troops in a certain area to achieve certain strategic goals.
As for the correction and adjustment of this formation, the Cavalry Army, which has a relatively large number of elite troops, has a greater advantage.
The formation is not made, but is played in confrontation, and is adjusted and adopted according to the opponent's tactical deployment. What it looks like now doesn't matter, what it looks like after the fight is...
『General! Move! Move!
While Cao Hong was thinking, he suddenly heard a little restless around him, and a guard was pointing his finger at the cavalry formation in front of him and shouting.
