Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, Zhou Dingbang said.

"There are three great wizards in Dawu Kingdom, and the reason why they are called geniuses is because their talents and learning have almost been separated from people's cognition."

When Zhou Dingbang said this, he stopped his tone, and Wu Xiancheng asked with some doubts.

"Are you talking about the people of the Great Martial Kingdom?"

Zhou Dingbang smiled and nodded, stretched out a finger, and said.

"The number one genius in the world is Ma Guogong, one of the four princes of the court."

Speaking of this, Zhou Dingbang paused, glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him intently before continuing.

"These were originally secrets, and Ma Guogong also forbade people to publicize them, so not many people knew about it, and the county also learned about it after listening to the stories of his classmates.

Back then, when we were fighting the world, our Dawu Army was confronting the King of Kwantung.

At that time, the king of Kwantung was strong, with 50,000 cavalry, while we only had 20,000 cavalry. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Dingbang stopped his tone again and looked at 4 weeks, wanting to hear everyone's opinions.

Hearing this, County Lieutenant Wang sighed, "The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the collision force is extremely strong, if it is 30,000 elite cavalry, even against 100,000 foot soldiers, it will be easily defeated." ”

This is indeed a common sense, everyone knows that when cavalry and foot soldiers fight, it is like a pack of wolves rushing into a flock, and no amount of sheep will be of any avail, they can only be slaughtered one by one.

When Master Liu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked tentatively.

"My lord, could it be that Ma Guogong has come up with a good way to deal with the enemy's cavalry?"

Zhou Dingbang nodded.

"Exactly, seeing that the enemy is strong, but our army is invincible, everyone thinks that it is better to withdraw the army first, go back and step up the training of cavalry, and wait for the number of cavalry to increase, and then come to fight to the death with the king of Kwantung.

Even His Majesty the Emperor thought that he should retreat, but he was a little unwilling, because, every time he sent out a large army, he spent countless grains and salaries, and after this withdrawal, on the one hand, he had to buy war horses, train cavalry, and accumulate food and salary, and prepare for the next army.

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was hesitating, Ma Guogong met with His Majesty the Emperor overnight and offered two strategies.

When His Royal Highness the Emperor heard these two strategies of Ma Guogong, he was overjoyed at that time and immediately transferred Ma Guogong to his side to listen to it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Dingbang sighed, "At that time, Ma Guogong was not a close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, after this battle, Ma Guogong was officially appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, and since then he has been steadily rising to the center of power. ”

Everyone listened to Zhou Dingbang talk about the situation of this war in great detail, but he didn't say the most important thing, which made everyone anxious!

What kind of strategy did Ma Guogong offer in order to be appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, even Lu Dashi was curious, in this era, the cavalry is a symbol of invincibility, and the cavalry is a one-sided killing, and there is no chance of turning defeat into victory at all.

In this kind of battle with no chance of winning, just listening to Ma Guogong's two strategies, you can turn defeat into victory, which is a bit too powerful.

Zhou Dingbang once again held the short beard under his chin and said with a smile.

"Ma Guogong is worthy of being a genius through the ages, and he offered two strategies to His Majesty the Emperor.

The first is the stirrups.

Do you know what stirrups are? ”

Zhou Dingbang said this, smiled and asked everyone, but when he saw Lu Dashi, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Lu Dashi was sweating profusely looking at the dishes on the table in a daze.

Hearing the county lord's question, Wang Zhutou first said, "Stirrups! I know that now the war horses in our county government have stirrups, which is nothing unusual! ”

Zhou Dingbang smiled, "Wang Zhutou, imagine that if you don't have stirrups, will you be comfortable riding on a horse, if you are allowed to hold a bow and arrows on a war horse without stirrups, or fight with the enemy with a war knife, can you be competent without a long time of training?" ”

When Wang Yong heard this, he immediately gasped, and after a while, he asked tentatively.

"My lord, do you mean that there were no stirrups at that time?"

Zhou Dingbang nodded and said.

"At that time, all the war horses were not equipped with stirrups, and the 50,000 elite cavalry of the King of Kwantung did not have stirrups, and they all relied on years of training to be able to hold bows and arrows on horses, or fight."

When Wang Yong heard this, he imagined what it would look like without stirrups, and after a while, he sighed and said.

"Ma Guogong is really a genius, what an admirable person!"

Everyone was also amazed, and praised Ma Guogong as a genius through the ages.

After a while, Wu Xian Chengcai suddenly asked.

"My lord, at that time, Ma Guogong offered two strategies, except for the stirrup, what was the other strategy?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhou Dingbang, and they all wanted to know what the second strategy of Ma Guogong was!

The first strategy is already so amazing that it makes people yearn for it. I'm afraid the second strategy is also extraordinary, it's really exciting to think about!

Hearing this, Zhou Dingbang picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a smile, "Before talking about the second strategy, let's toast to Ma Guogong's first strategy!" ”

After Zhou Dingbang finished speaking, he took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup, then put the wine glass on the table and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Cheers to Ma Guogong's first strategy."

"Cheers to the wizards of Ma Guogong."

……

Everyone was also impressed by Ma Guogong's genius, and they raised their glasses and drank them all.

Lu Dashi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, picked up his wine glass, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Wang Yong saw that Lu Dashi couldn't stop wiping his sweat, a little strange, and asked, "Is it hot here for Deputy Lu to catch the head?" ”

Lu Dashi hurriedly shook his head, "Thank you for Wang Zhutou's concern, as long as I drink wine, I will sweat." ”

"Oh! It seems so! ”

Wang Yong nodded in understanding.

Zhou Dingbang saw that everyone had drunk the wine in the cup, so he smiled and stretched out his second finger and said.

"I don't know if you have heard of the second policy offered by the Equestrian Princess.

In order to match the overall combat capability, Ma Guogong's second strategy is to prepare for foot soldiers.

The second strategy can also be said to be a kind of battle formation, and the name of this kind of war is called, the Macedonian phalanx ....... ”

Macedonian phalanx!

With this name, Lu Dashi felt like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the thunderbolt hit his head, shaking his head and buzzing.

The stirrup that Zhou Dinggang said just now, Lu Dashi was already a little skeptical, but he still hoped that Ma Guogong was a genius of heaven and had studied it himself.

Now, after hearing the name Macedonian Spear Array, Lu Dashi no longer has any doubts that Ma Guogong is the traverser.
