Chapter 96 Breaking the Five Elements, Living and Dying Together Part 1
【Huazhou·Huayin County】
When Shi Jin heard the news that Lei Heng had brought about Yuncheng County, he felt half happy and half worried. He was happy that many brothers had joined Liangshan, strengthening the power of Chao Gai, but he was worried about Song Jiang, who was like duckweed all the way. Generally speaking, they have been tortured by the rivers and lakes during the ups and downs.
"Report,,,"
Just when Shi Jin frowned slightly and had mixed feelings in his heart, suddenly a military man ran to the door of the hall from outside, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Two military advisors have come to report that the fortifications in front have been completed in advance. Please lead the generals forward." The line goes to something big,"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "You go down first," he waved his hand and told the soldier to go down and rest.
"Brother Shi, now that the fortifications are built and the wine is almost drunk, I think we went there earlier, just in time to stretch our muscles," Lei Heng stood up at this time and said.
Shi Jin did not turn around and looked at the sky outside. It was already a red sun and it was almost noon.
"Go meet Xie Qianqiu and see what kind of bird formation he is, and how he can trap Shi Qian in it," Wu Song said, "I'm gone now, I don't know when I can get there."
"From here to the front line, whether it is far or close, if you ride alone, it will only take more than half an hour to rush forward. Now, you have to bring a thousand soldiers and horses to guard against any unexpected events. If you rush forward, Don't say that people can't bear it. Even the horses have to rest for an hour and a half, but haste makes waste. If we go as fast as possible, it will probably take an hour." Shi Jin said, and everyone listened. I have to know everything in my mind.
Wu Song patted Zhang Qing on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Qing and I will leave first. You guys should take your time."
"Brother Wu, there is no need to be so anxious at this moment," Shi Jin advised: "You ran away in one breath, but you still have to wait for us to take action."
"Brother Shi, didn't Military Advisor Wu Yong say before that if you guys break the formation, I'll go attack the city. You don't have to come in a hurry. I'm very energetic. Let's go to the front and take a look. How can I sit here with my fists and feet restrained? It's not stable." Wu Song said and said to Zhang Qing: "You go with me, or come with them."
Zhang Qing looked at Shi Jin, looked at Wu Song, and said: "I know you can't hold it in any longer. Even if you and I lead the way, we still need to know the way. You and I are both new here, so we should just follow the big army honestly." ,"
Shi Jindao: "Zhang Qing is right. It's not an ordinary time right now. I'm not afraid of you meeting anyone on the way. This is our territory. I'm just afraid that if you take the wrong path, it will delay the time."
Seeing that Shi Jin had already said this, Wu Song couldn't say anything more, so he nodded in agreement.
"In this case, brothers, please clean up the guys. After we burn incense, we will gather here again," Shi Jin said, and sent Yang Chun to order a thousand soldiers and horses, and took a set of captured weapons from the armory. The armor of the officers, soldiers, and generals crossed the thunder, and they were told to pick whatever weapons they had at their disposal.
Not long after, Wu Song brought his iron and iron swords to the Juyi Hall early. Zhang Qing also carried a long sword and stood behind Wu Song's shoulder. At this time, Shi Jin and Lei Heng also arrived in front of the hall. , the four of them quickly mounted their horses and set off from Huayin, heading straight to the front line where the two armies were facing each other in Xiagui.
The journey was uneventful, and when they arrived at Shenshi, they saw their own camp stationed in front from a distance. Shi Jin pointed to the front and said to everyone: "Look, it's right in front." Just after Shi Jin finished speaking, he Seeing a bunch of flying dust rising in front, he saw a team of Pegasus approaching. When they reached a distance of fifty strides in front of Shi Jin, they stood up in line. A man in front galloped out. When he saw Shi Jin had arrived, he got off his horse. He bowed and said, "Yang Zhi respectfully welcomes my eldest brother. The military advisors and brothers are all waiting in the tent."
"Good brother, please get up quickly." Shi Jin asked Yang Zhi to get up, and they went into the main camp together.
When they arrived at the main tent of the Chinese army, everyone gathered together. After paying homage to each other and paying homage to each other, they all sat down in the tent and gathered in front of a big table. At this time, Gongsun Sheng spread out a piece of paper, took out pen and ink, and Said: "The Five Elements Formation, I think Military Master Wu has also told everyone, that the formation is like running water, with irregular movements and ever-changing changes. The eight gates appear and disappear, so there is no way in or out. Now that the elites have gathered together, the sky It must be Xie Qianqiu's misfortune." After saying this, Gongsun Sheng drew two plain lines on the paper and said: "This is the ten-foot-wide trench dug by the officers and soldiers in front of the Five Elements Formation. If we want to break through it, They have to break through the formation first. They have two archery towers here, here, here, and here. Each of them has three floors. There are four or five people on each floor. They are all long-range bows. This is what they built yesterday. Up, this bow has a range of one hundred and ten strides, and there is also a distance of eighty steps from this ravine to the bottom of the archery tower. It is not difficult for us to get over, as long as we stabilize our position and cross the ravine. , our five teams of men and horses immediately formed a team and flew towards their camp. The horses rushing in front should wear armor and people should carry shields, and the rest of the people should follow behind. "
As he spoke, Gongsun Sheng took a pen and drew all the five camps, and continued to preach: "The one on the left in front is the Fire Camp, the one on the opposite right is the Earth Camp, the one behind the Earth Camp is the Wooden Camp, and the opposite of the Wooden Camp is the Water Camp." , the last one is the Jin Camp. As soon as the generals rush through the ravine, the officers and soldiers will blow their horns. Within a moment, the soldiers and horses of their battalions will become active. Their reaction speed is extremely fast, but we also have to They must seize time and cannot allow their formation to fully operate. The Five Elements formations are mutually reinforcing each other. The first camp to attack is the most important. Big brother, you lead Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi's three troops to attack the fire camp in the middle. Big brother rushes into the formation. , disembowel the fire camp to open up a bloody path for the brothers behind to rush in. Don't be reluctant to fight when you kill them, and don't stop when you encounter obstacles. Brother, you need to hit the archers in the camp like lightning. There are five hundred archers in this formation. Whether the brothers can perform their duties later depends on you. If you can't disrupt the archers' position, the price you will pay later will be heavy. But brother, just go in with peace of mind. I will arrange for my brothers to pick you up,"
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Brothers, don't worry."
Gongsun Sheng continued: "Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are on the outside. Lu Zhishen leads a group of people to fight around the outside from the left. Remember, don't stop. Pegasus uses a spear to kill the shield soldiers on the outside. Yang Zhi does the same. Don't stop. You lead a group of people." The team of people came in from the right side on Pegasus. They went against Lu Zhishen's fighting momentum, broke through the shield soldiers outside, and then galloped to fight a way out, peeling off the two layers of shield soldiers blocking the outside. They are usually stripped out and their connection with the inner layer is cut off. The rest will be taken care of by Lu Zhishen. Yang Zhi, you must be careful. Those shield soldiers are wrapped in spear soldiers. At this time, Lin Chong needs to lead a team of troops. Quickly follow Yang Zhi and break through the pikemen's camp. Don't be reluctant to fight. As long as the galloping horse attacks the pikemen's layer into chaos, it will be good to disperse and reduce the pressure on Yang Zhi. The further inside, the more The more dangerous it is, there is a layer of scratching hooks inside the spearmen. Brother Lei Heng led a group of people to follow Yang Zhi's momentum and attack the hooking hands inside. They must move quickly and never let their hooks be released. Lin Chong led a team to follow Lei Heng, and followed the same pattern, killing all the hobhands wrapped inside."
"The Five Elements Formation is mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other, and my brothers are rushing to kill each other, which is also the principle of mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. If anyone is slow, it will lead to the death of the brothers on the outside, and in the end, the nausea will be cycled, and no one can get out alive. If you all Let's work together to peel them off layer by layer and defeat them layer by layer, so that they cannot take into account the inside and outside, and cannot coordinate with each other. Then we can completely break the formation. All the above are the first step. As long as we break them one by one. After adding shields, spears, hooks, hobs, and archers, the fire camp will fall apart. We must rush to destroy the fire camp when the Five Elements Formation starts to move, otherwise the water behind it will be destroyed. As soon as the earth, wood, and metal formations gain momentum, the entire formation will be in motion. At that time, we have little hope of destroying even one of the formations. Success or failure depends on this one move, but... …Only one stick of incense time.
"I have deployed Di Yan's troops here. If you make any mistakes, Di Yan will fire thousands of arrows to buy you some time. What can be stopped is only half of the remaining soldiers of the Huo camp, and the other four battalions will not be able to stop them. There are three layers of shield soldiers, and the rain of arrows can't stop them. You have to rush across the ravine quickly, and Gu Yan's soldiers will lead the troops to guard the wooden bridge across the ravine, and he will cut off the rear for you," Wu Yong said.
"Who wins and who loses is a matter for later. They planned it so carefully. It shows that these two military advisors are very thoughtful. And this Five Elements Formation is really difficult to deal with." Wu Song listened to what everyone said and thought in his heart. Can't help but think about it.
Gongsun Sheng said again at this time: "If it is done, it is just the beginning. The following four formations will definitely come to rescue us, and the Jin camp is fully armed with heavy armor and moves the slowest. We can ignore him for the time being. If the prediction is correct, the first one to arrive should be the wooden camp. They are a group of cavalry. You must be careful with this group of cavalry. They all hold wooden shields in one hand and spears in the other. Each of them is under Xie Qianqiu's command. Tigers and warriors are skilled in soldiers and horses. They can use spears at close range and bows at long distances. They come and go. They are best at sneak attacks and penetration kills."
Everyone listened carefully, each frowning slightly, looking at Gongsun Sheng, waiting for his clever plan.
Gongsun Sheng continued: "If I want to defeat this army, I had a headache at first. Now that Brother Lei is here, it will be easy. Your big sword has its place. We will send Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhishen first." A group of soldiers and horses, one on the left and one on the right, pretending to fight. You should be careful about their bows and arrows. Brother Lei Heng leads a group of soldiers and horses, many of whom are armed with broad-backed mountain-climbing swords. They gallop around behind the guy and charge to kill him. They came in, fought closely with the horses, and chopped down the wooden shield with a broadsword. Killing these soldiers and horses was no different. Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi brought their soldiers and horses down at this time to attack the earth camp, while the eldest brother and Lin Chong attacked the water camp. "
