"Your Highness is not aware of military affairs, so I will start from the beginning." Wang Jian felt a little uncomfortable with sitting, so he sat entrenched. If an old country farmer was clenching his feet, he said with great enthusiasm: "Actually, military affairs are simple, but very simple, which is to use the strong to fight the weak, and use the more to fight the less."

"But sometimes, in terms of overall number of people, we may have fewer people than our opponents, but there is no need to be afraid at this time."

"The way of playing with a lot of people is more, and the way of playing with a lot of people is less."

"And even if there are few people, it may not be that there are few people."

He dipped his fingers a little water and drew two pieces on the wooden table in front of him.

"Do your Highness know what the battle formation is for?"

"What are you doing?" Ying Zheng cooperated and looked at the bronze lord who dipped his fingers in water, and held back his dissatisfaction.

"The so-called battle formation is actually to circle people and let them arrange them in a certain shape."

"In the formation, between people, generally speaking, the denser the stand, the better." Wang Jian licked his tongue: "Because people are secret, there are two people in one step. When fighting, compared to the battle formation with only one person in one step, even if the total number of people in the battle formation with two people in this step is small, from each person's perspective, it is the opposite."

"The denser the formation, the more enemies the opponent will face at the same time."

"There is only a limited number of things that a person can do at the same time. You only have one person's battle formation within one step. Even if everyone is an elite, if you peck out a spear, you will be blocked by one of the other party's two people within one step."

"And on the other hand, what if there are two people in a battle formation within one step? If there are two people, the fewer people will not be able to fight at all."

"so……"

"The battle formation is to use a certain shape to maximize the number of enemies each opponent needs to face!" Wang Jian said.

Ying Zheng frowned: "Since it is such a good thing, why is it useless again?"

"Because the battle formation is a means, not an end." Wang Jian said.

Some displeasure flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Wang Jian was very close to Ying Zheng, but he seemed to have not seen Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction and continued to say enthusiastically: "A thing like a battle formation is dead after all."

"Any pre-war arrangements and battle formation drills, after all, are to let the soldiers know what they should do."

"And the battle formation is not as dense as possible."

"In one step, you can set up to three people, but if you set up three people, each of them will stretch their arms and move them, which is not suitable for exerting force."

"So, arranging three people will affect the combat power of each person. Even three people will be a little bit worse. The ground is uneven and the speed of running too fast, they will push their own people down and trample to death."

"Even if the battle formation is laid, will the other party be a fool? Will they really fight you like what is written in the military book?"

"In fact, even if most soldiers have battle formations, they still cannot have a clear understanding of what they should do." Wang Jian shook his head: "At this time, battle formations should be used."

"Because the soldiers are unclear, the generals should inform them all and tell them how they should fight."

"Through constant practice, let them accept the will of the generals and fight with the other party according to the established battle formation."

"But the generals are not the omniscient and omnipotent Nuwa. The arrangements made before the war will be subject to various restrictions and are not so applicable to the real situation of the war."

"In fact, the one who can really judge the situation and what you should do is always the only soldiers in the battle."

"If they can cooperate spontaneously and clearly know what they should do, then even if the general is a dog, they will not be able to win!" Wang Jian smiled: "Now these soldiers from the Farmers Association have begun to cooperate spontaneously and can have a vague understanding of what they should do."

"So at this time, things like battle formations are no longer something that can help them. When we fight, we only need to give them a set goal, such as: breaking down the enemy formation and rushing to the big slate. The rest is to provide them with sufficient food, high-quality weapons and reasons to fight with peace of mind and strive for death."

"What about the number of people?" Ying Zheng tapped his knuckles on the table.

Zhao Gao lowered his head.

"As I said before, the number of people is not the key to the outcome of a war."

"In this battle, we have all defeated 3500 soldiers with one garrison."

"There are too many people. Even if they set up some battle formations, the number of people they can meet with our soldiers at the first time is only a few dozen people. They are a group of farmers, weak limbs, untrained, and poor weapons. Even if they are two or one, they may not be able to break the armor of our army. We only need to cut down some of their people at the first time, making the people in the second and third rows begin to be scared, and they feel that we are invincible, and they will start to run away."

"Most of them actually have no idea what they should do. When they see their comrades running away, even if they don't witness our strength, most of them will follow suit."

"And on the battlefield, once you start to escape, no matter how many people there are, it will be useless! Even ten people can chase and kill 51,000 people."

Ying Zheng sighed: "So the soldiers we trained before..."

"On the battlefield, soldiers who can face the enemy without breaking the formation are generally called elite soldiers."

"These trained by the farmers' association can know what they should do and can cooperate spontaneously."

"They are elite soldiers among the elite soldiers!" Wang Jian sighed: "It is in the war ahead that I have no command power, so these elite soldiers are asked to carry out those tasks that are too dangerous and have extremely small benefits, so that they have killed and injured so many people."

"I heard from Meng Ao that he sent you six direct commanders, but all of them disappeared unexpectedly, right?" Ying Zheng asked casually.

Wang Jian paused his hands and licked his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It's always smart." Ying Zheng sneered: "From Xianyang City, when ensuring prices do not affect the livelihood of the people, it can train up to 4,200 elites like the Farmers' Association."

"But there have been droughts in the past two years, and the crops around the surrounding area are not enough. Even if wheat and beans are now planted, the grain output is still insufficient." Ying Zheng sighed: "Starting this year, we will build civil engineering and build canals. I will include all small farmers near Xianyang City in the Farmers Association, so you can leave a maximum of 2,000 posts."

"Two thousand is a little too little?" Wang Jian was a little reluctant.

"One thousand five?" Ying Zheng asked.
