At dawn, the sound of drums began to be heard from the west gate of Yuncheng. The drums sounded like a heart beating faster and faster, which reached Hua Fan's ears. She immediately stood up.
When I went there, I saw Zhuge, Xingtian and Luxiu coming over.
"This is an attack on the city." Zhu Ge said.
"Attack the city!" Hua Fan was shocked. He recited the contents of the note in his mind and confirmed that he had memorized it by heart. The military camp became noisy. Soldiers trotted all the way and lined up to mount their horses. Thousands of horses roared in unison, and the sounds of weapons and war drums were being gathered.
The sound was endless. In less than two quarters of an hour, the entire battalion of troops was organized. The camp gate was opened, and thousands of people with thousands of flags flew out.
Zhuge and Xingtian Luxiu had both mounted their horses and followed them out of the camp gate. Huafan had always been afraid of riding horses. The injury she sustained when she and Yan Honglei rushed into the fish scale formation last time made her dizzy when she saw the horse. But now.
Forced by the situation, they had no choice but to mount their war horses. The horses' hooves formed in waves, covering the sky with yellow sand. The gate of the military camp slowly closed behind them.
Hua Fan was thinking about the battle report she got yesterday, and wanted to verify the authenticity of the battle report no matter what. So she deliberately slowed down and kept a certain distance away from the other three people.
The west gate of Yuncheng, like the east gate, is made of black brick walls. The city wall towers into the clouds, blocking out the sky. The military camp where Hua Fan is located joins other military camps in front of the city gate. The black city gate
Go up, the sling is slowly lowered, and the city gate opens little by little.
Thousands of troops and horses walked out of the city gate, like a black cloud that was about to destroy the city, floating little by little in the snow-white clear sky.
Hua Fan took advantage of the momentary chaos when she left the city to break away from the army and became a deserter without anyone noticing. No matter what, she had to see if the battle report was true before she could make a judgment.
Riding her horse around the city wall, she walked to an uninhabited wilderness on the outskirts of the city. She spread her giant wings behind her and slowly flew up. The two armies formed an array in front of the city gate. In order to have a clearer view, Hua Fan had no choice but to fly upward.
The moment she flew up against the black city wall, she saw Shangguan Jinnian's figure on the wall. His starry eyes were like torches, and she could clearly see the look of shock on his face.
His expression made Hua Fan feel that if he had a bow and arrow in his hand, he would definitely shoot down Hua Fan like a big bird without hesitation.
Braving the gusts of cold from behind, Hua Fan flew to Shangguan Chiying's side. Looking down from above, sure enough, the enemy's troops were arranged in the shape of an arrow, which coincided with the battle report she saw.
!
Sure enough, it was Shangguan Chiying's arrow array that launched the attack first. The middle part of the arrows bulged forward, like the core of concentrated attack power, and it hit the central army in Shangguan Jinnian's camp. The sound of killing suddenly started, sonorous.
Swords danced wildly, and arrows rained down.
Hua Fan flapped his heavy wings until they ached like cramps in order to stay at a height where he wouldn't be hurt by random arrows.
She didn't recognize Shangguan Jinnian's formation. She could only see that the army was in the shape of a rectangle. When the "arrows" rushed into the central army, the central part of the rectangle began to retreat as a buffer, and at the same time the two wings moved closer to the center, making dumplings.
They also surrounded them in the same way. In this way, not only were they not hurt by the sharp energy of the arrow array, but they also used the force to surround the opponent's elite.
From this point of view, although this arrow array is powerful offensively, it actually does not have an advantage in defense and can be easily surrounded.
After hovering on the battlefield for a while, Hua Fan felt that his wings were extremely sore, so he had to change direction and return to the city wall of Yuncheng.
After Huafan left, Shangguan Jinnian was extremely angry. He thought she had been taken away by Yan Honglei again. Jealousy mixed with complicated thoughts made him feel like he had a burning sensation when he saw Huafan flying all over the sky.
The urge to cook her in a pot and eat her.
Hua Fan flew to the edge of the city wall, her wings were so sore that she had no strength at all and was about to fall down. She quickly climbed onto the wall at the edge of the battlement. "Yaya." She just cursed, raised her head, and met Shangguan Jin.
The four eyes of the year are facing each other.
Hua Fan quickly swallowed the second half of the sentence, "I'm so unlucky," and looked at Shangguan Jinnian pitifully with squinted eyes, gesturing for him to help pull her up.
Shangguan Jinnian was heartbroken. He looked at her little eyes and glanced down thoughtfully. He was sure that she would not fall to her death, so he simply raised his eyebrows, folded his arms, and sat back and did nothing.
Hua Fan changed her hand to hold it up and rolled her eyes at him. The pitiful look in her eyes turned into pleading. "Do you know what your name is? It's called [watching from the sidelines]," she hummed and said to Shangguan Jinnian.
"Do you know what your name is? It's called [You will not survive for your own misfortune]." Shangguan Jinnian replied.
Hua Fan was disappointed, and reluctantly flapped his wings a few more times, climbed over the city wall, and squatted on the battlements, panting.
Shangguan Jinnian kicked her shoes and said, "Don't stay here, go back to the city."
Hua Fan pretended not to hear and asked him: "Do you also know that Shangguan Chiying can use the [Front Arrow Formation]? Why does your formation seem to be specially designed to deal with her.
Shangguan Jinnian raised his eyebrows and immediately asked: "What do you mean I know? How do you know about formations?"
Hua Fan knew he had spilled the beans and was silenced. Fortunately, Shangguan Jinnian had no intention of making things difficult for her anymore. He held Hua Fan by the collar and asked her to stand up from the ground. Hua Fan's legs and shoulders were sore.
, so I had to half-lean on him.
"See for yourself." Shangguan Jinnian gestured to her to look down at the battlefield.
The formation on Shangguan Jinnian's side was no longer the arch that had just surrounded the arrow. Instead, it separated to the left and right and turned into two formations, flanking the [arrow] on the left and right.
Hua Fan remembered the sentence in the battle report, which said that the arrow array [weaknesses are on the two wings]. And now this kind of flanking attack can just destroy the enemy's weak point, and also disperse the elite in the center, allowing the arrow array to attack
The advantages cannot be used.
Sure enough, the formation of the arrow array had become unstable. The troops spread to the left and right sides, and the middle was very thin. It looked like two parallel chopsticks. It was becoming more and more defeated.
"I understand." Hua Fan suddenly realized, "You don't stipulate a fixed formation and keep it constant to cope with all changes, do you?"
Shangguan Jinnian smiled slightly.
Hua Fan thought thoughtfully and continued: "Shangguan Chiying has a strong offensive mentality. When he is eager for quick success, he will always choose some very dangerous formations. However, these formations often cannot adapt to the changes on the battlefield, and their defense is not enough... It's just that
…”
Hua turned around and said to Shangguan Jinnian: "I don't understand."
"What?"
"Why are we losing so many times despite our obvious advantages?"
