Jing Wen answered the first question vaguely, so naturally he answered Li Jing's second question: "Actually, this formation, I want to make up for the shortcomings of our ordinary soldier team's tactics."

"Squad Tactics?" Li Jing asked.

Jing Wen pointed to the soldiers who were fighting for bayonets in the distance and said, "General Li, look, your soldiers rushed forward one by one, but did not cooperate at all. Instead, they were thinking about how to attack. In this way, their collective strength could not be exerted, wouldn't it be a big loss? This is an important issue for our lack of squad tactics. We have always focused on the personal qualities of soldiers since ancient times, and later they simply invented the combat method of fighting generals. During the Three Kingdoms period, the time when fighting generals were the most popular. Once the generals win, they would directly charge with their soldiers. If the general fails, their morale will be low. And even in the past few years, did our Tang Dynasty rely on a few brave generals to take the lead in charge? And once there is no brave generals, the soldiers will probably be at a loss. This kind of thing is called personal heroism, and the combat is all done by personal strength, not collective cooperation."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Don't we also have many large formations? Are large formations not collective?"

"The large formation is not so collective, but rather the command ability of the head coach. It is very difficult to use this large formation. Not only does the soldiers have to undergo a long period of training, but a main general also needs to have corresponding command ability, otherwise it will not be implemented at all. What's more, how many times can this large formation be used?" Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen must have scoffed at the myth of many ancient formations. Many formations are not useful and have no effect. If you set up a formation, what if they don’t play with you and don’t break your formation? Therefore, the limitations of large formations are very large. They not only require the training time of soldiers, but also require special attention to certain enemy situations. Therefore, the training of large formations is often not worth the effort. China often goes to two extremes, either personal heroism reaches the extreme, or large formations, that is, collective cooperation reaches the extreme. Both extremes are very problematic. When fighting, large formations cannot be used too much, and more soldiers fight.

However, the team tactics for several people at the grassroots level are seriously lacking in China. It has to be said that the ancient Chinese generals had too high "vision" and were staring at the battle formations or tactics of thousands of people, but they had a serious lack of team tactics. The nomadic people in the north were hunting in small groups. As a result, once they came to the Central Plains, they also fought according to this habit, and they just hit the shortcomings of the Central Plains soldiers. No matter how strong the individual strength of the Central Plains soldiers were, they were not the opponents of the nomadic people fighting together, and they were bullied so miserably.

As for the Tang Dynasty, there was no problem with the cooperation between the large corps. However, the teams of the same corps suffered a great loss in combat. This situation was not improved until the Ming Dynasty. As for the Tang Dynasty, there was still a serious lack of tactics for such corps. Therefore, Li Jing and other jumping soldiers suffered a great loss in Jing Wen's "new tactics" mode.

After listening to Jing Wen's explanation, Li Jing realized that the northern nomadic peoples bullied the Central Plains nations. This was also due to many reasons. Many people think that the nomadic peoples do not have so many military tactics and military qualities, but why can they often suppress the Central Plains nations? I'm afraid it is related to the personal heroism of the Central Plains nation.

"General Li Jing, our avenge army has actually not said that we should fight with individual courage since its establishment. Our avenge army did not rely on personal ideas, and we fought together. If it were not a last resort, we would never have left the team to fight independently. Whether it was our decisions or tactics, it was collective. Only in this way can we exert all our strength, unlike other troops, which are all a group of soldiers who rely on their personal strength to fight." Jing Wen said.

Li Jing shook his head while looking at the scattered and constantly being slapped by Jing Wen's soldiers. Li Jing actually had one problem, that is, his strategic large-scale corps combat was not a problem, but there was no good way to command such a squad, which was also an important issue for the Han generals in ancient China. This kind of despising the tactics of the lower-level squad also caused despising the lower-level officers. The quality of the lower-level officers in ancient times was very poor and could not play the role of the mother of soldiers like in later generations. The poor quality of the grassroots officers led countless ordinary soldiers, resulting in the quality of the soldiers getting worse and worse.

"Okay, you can stop the competition!" Li Jing shouted.

Hearing Li Jing's shouts, the soldiers who were competing stopped one after another and stopped competing.

"Okay, you all lost so much, aren't it embarrassing? More than a dozen people besieged three of them in a round battle, but they were still picked again and again. What do you have to say?" Li Jing said angrily.

But Li Jing's soldiers immediately said, "General Li, this is all they don't follow the rules. It's obviously a competition, but they often intervene randomly, bullying the fewer ones!"

Just because Jing Wen's soldiers covered each other through a group of three people, they often formed a tactical level of more and more to fight less. As long as the soldiers' personal qualities are not much different, they can easily "kill" the enemy.

Li Jing took a deep breath and knew that what Jing Wen was right. These soldiers were all serious about personal heroism and were probably unable to compete with the subsequent war. Li Jing knew that his soldiers were all behind in strategic thinking and tactical thinking. It’s ridiculous that Li Jing was thinking of taking Jing Wen as his apprentice back then. It seems that Li Jing almost harmed Jing Wen. If he accepted Jing Wen as his apprentice, he might not have a military change.

"Maybe, the battlefield in the future is his world." Li Jing said as he looked at Jing Wen's back.
