Chapter 166 Crane Wing Formation

"But Young Master, I think that if General Zhong leads one-third of the troops, he will probably not be a match for the Hu army. After all, they have been prepared for it. If we don't have the advantage in numbers, it will be very difficult for us to do so." There is a possibility that there will be no return. Even if the remaining two-thirds are still in the valley, it will be a serious loss of vitality."

Li nodded and did not refute the other party's words. He just said calmly: "You are right. I have already thought of this. Therefore, I already have a preliminary plan in mind, but this plan is not mature."

"Oh? Master, you can come and listen." Zhong Limei was listening, and he agreed with the statement of the person who just raised the question, because even if he brought a force with a disparity in strength to fight, it would be quite risky.

However, Young Master's combat thinking is indeed the most suitable method at present.

If this shortcoming can be made up for, it will undoubtedly be the best.

So he was still very curious about Li's countermeasures.

"Perhaps we can use formations. In this case, it is not difficult to defeat more with less." Li paused and glanced at everyone. "What's more, we don't have to win this time. As long as we minimize casualties, we have achieved our goal, right?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of joy flashed across their faces, but soon they seemed to have thought of something and hesitated again.

"What's wrong? You look embarrassed?" Li raised his eyebrows.

A certain deputy general touched his head with an embarrassed look. "Although the formation is a powerful weapon on the battlefield, we are not familiar with the barbarians' formations and cannot make corresponding formation arrangements. Let's just say that among those of us, we are the ones who are capable of commanding the formations to fight. Yes, except General Zhong, there is no one else."

The deputy general glanced at Zhong Limei with a troubled expression. The latter nodded, looked at Li and added.

"Also, although I can use formations, the formations I can use are extremely limited, and many of them are not suitable for fighting outside the Great Wall." Zhongli looked confused.

Li Chang raised his eyebrows and his eyes flashed. "Then what if I provide you with the detailed formation method? Are you sure about it?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"This is natural. As long as the master can give me detailed instructions on how to set up the formation, I guarantee that I can complete the mission."

"Very good, then it's settled. Everyone else can go back. Zhong Limei, you stay."

After everyone filed out, Zhong Limei asked: "Sir, are there any tasks that need to be solved privately?"

Li glanced at him in surprise and shook his head.

"I let you stay here just to talk to you about formations."

"Ah? It's really because of the formation. I thought the young master's words just now were just a cover-up. In fact, he had something to say in private." Zhong Limei smiled slightly awkwardly, and Li smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "You really think that I always have a steady stream of new ways to find new ways. This time we are facing Black Wolf. We have very little information about this person, and we can only see the truth on the battlefield. What? Don't you have confidence? "

"Yes!" Zhong Limei immediately straightened up and stood firm.

Li nodded and pointed to the sand table in front of him. "First, tell me about the several formations you currently master."

"The last general is incompetent. He only knows the Fish Scale Formation, the Arrow Formation, and the Crane Wing Formation."

"It's pretty good." Li had already seen the introduction of these three formations from the art of war book. They were very powerful, and they also played a great role in the melee of the Seven Kingdoms.

However, these three formations are obviously not suitable for use against the barbarians.

"This Fish Scale Formation is where the general is located in the back of the formation, and the main troops are assembled in the center. It is divided into a number of small fish scale-shaped square formations. They are arranged in echelons with a slightly convex front end. It is an offensive formation. As for the Front Arrow Formation, the general is located in the formation. After the formation, the main forces are assembled in the center, and the forward is spread out in the shape of an arrow, which is also an offensive formation."

"Young Master is indeed well-informed. The general thinks that it may be possible to use the front arrow formation, because the front arrow formation is better defensive than the fish scale formation. The "arrows" opened in the front can resist the pressure from the enemy's two wings."

"However, the offensive nature of the Front Arrow Formation is slightly poor. If it cannot form an effective deterrent to the barbarians, I am afraid that the opponent will not let go. In the first battle, we must make a quick decision. We must not only find out the opponent's true and false status, I can’t show my cowardice.”

Li frowned, these two formations were obviously not suitable. What was needed now was a formation that was both offensive and defensive.

"Sir, maybe we can form two formations," Zhong Limei put forward his opinion.

"Two formations? How to say?"

"One is to defend, the other is to attack."

"No, the troops are scattered like this and there is no one to lead them." Li quickly dismissed it. "I have thought of a formation that is both offensive and defensive, but I don't know how it will be used tomorrow."

Zhong Limei's face was filled with joy, and he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Young master, it doesn't matter. I am confident that I can control it overnight. As long as the general leads his own military camp when the battle comes, with our tacit understanding, we should be able to apply it." It’s good.”

"Okay." Li smiled while stroking his hands, picked up the little clay figure placed aside, and began to directly demonstrate the changes of this formation to Zhong Limei.

"This formation is called the Crane Wing Formation: the general is located in the middle and behind the formation, surrounded by heavy troops, with wings spread like cranes on the left and right. It is a formation that is both offensive and defensive."

Li introduced: "The tactical idea of ​​​​Zhenxing is to outflank the left and right. In this case, it can form a considerable deterrent to the barbarians."

"However, the Crane Wing Formation requires generals to have high tactical command capabilities.

The two wings can be opened and closed freely, which can be used to attack both sides of the enemy's army, and can also be used together to flank the enemy that breaks into the center of the formation. "

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely be able to do it." Zhongli nodded in confusion.

Li pondered for a moment and said: "You must make the defense of this formation strict to prevent it from being broken through by the enemy. In addition, the two wings should be flexible, coordinate closely, and attack fiercely. Otherwise, the goal cannot be achieved."

"I understand." Zhong Limei looked at Li. "Sir, you are becoming more and more admirable." ..
