223 The Decisive Battle and the [Judai Mingwang Formation]
No matter how many pre-war methods are used, in the end, the winner will still have to be decided on the battlefield.
Yan Wulu wanted to secretly contact Beidi and ask Cheng Huanian, Ye Changtian and others who were staying in Yanbei to see if they could take advantage of the civil war in Northern Xinjiang to send troops to Northern Xinjiang.
The primary purpose is to threaten "Wan Yanfen"'s rear and reduce the pressure on Yan Wulu;
And the other purpose is indeed to take the opportunity to attack Wanyan Jinguo.
But it is a pity that "Wanyan Fen" has done a good job in blocking the enemy. Yan Wulu can no longer pass the secret message to the North through the Zhenbei secret guards lurking in northern Xinjiang.
Then, we can only see whether Yan Lingxu and Wanyan Lie's 100,000 horsemen can defeat "Wanyan Fen"'s southern Xinjiang army.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Yan Wulu was indeed not optimistic about the prospects of this war.
The other party controls Baikal City and southern Xinjiang, which is rich in products, densely populated, and has far stronger logistical supply capabilities than Beiting.
"Wanyan Fen's" southern Xinjiang army has been fighting against Daqian and the northern army all year round. In terms of elite and fierceness, it may be even better than Wanyan Lie's army.
Moreover, the number of Hu riders in "Wanyan Fen" was several times that of our own.
There was no danger to defend the North Court, and a large number of cavalry fought decisively on the grassland.
The enemy commander Shen Yupei is not incompetent either.
Yan Wulu secretly began to prepare a retreat for himself and others after Wanyan Lingxu's defeat.
He doesn't want to die in the civil war in Northern Xinjiang yet...
…
There was a report from Beiting Horse Patrol, claiming that "the rebels in southern Xinjiang are marching in such a mighty force that they cover the sky and the sun as far as the eye can see."
Yan Wulu and Wanyan Lingxu also learned that "Wanyan Fen"'s army was said to number 600,000.
This number has far exceeded the number of Hu cavalry under the command of Wan Yanfen, the king of the South Academy.
General Hu, who had Wanyan Lingxu under his command, thought this was a bluff by the rebels.
But come to think of it, it's not necessarily a bluff.
The people of Northern Xinjiang are brave and have been companions with horses since childhood.
When they mount a horse, they are born warriors.
Their riding skills can only be compared with the elite cavalry from the Central Plains who have to train for many years.
Therefore, if we gather all the nomadic men from Baikal City and southern Xinjiang, we should be able to have such a huge army.
But this has almost summoned all the fighting forces of Baikal City and Southern Xinjiang.
...There is a kind of madness like a gambler.
Yan Wulu was very curious, was he not at all wary of his rear? Was he not at all wary of the Zhenbei Army?
But soon, Yan Wulu understood... Shen Yupei wanted to complete his achievements in one battle.
He had no intention of engaging in a protracted war with Beiting.
He wants to destroy Beiting before the Zhenbei Army enters the scene and before everything changes!
…
One hundred thousand Hu cavalry led by Wanyan Lie faced off against the 600,000 army of "Wanyan Fen".
At this moment, almost all the combat power of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom was gathered on the Beiting Grassland.
Such a huge number of horsemen made every onlooker astonished.
Even Yan Wulu, who was standing at the rear of the Chinese army, had to admit that such a terrifying army was indeed overwhelming.
Wanyan Lie's ability to command an army is indeed extraordinary.
Even though currently the number of troops on Wanyan Lingxu's side is far lower than that of the enemy, Commander Wanyan Lie has used every sergeant in the army just right.
Several tentative battles came to an end.
Wanyan Lingxu's side still had the upper hand.
Yan Wulu is also thinking now, if a commander like Wan Yanlie still had the courage to charge into battle, how difficult an opponent he would be?
"Back then, my father was actually able to defeat such a terrifying opponent at a huge disadvantage, and it caused a psychological shadow that has lingered on him to this day..."
Yan Wulu thought about it, and couldn't help but admire his father Yan Dong even more.
…
Wanyan Lingxu had not rested during these few nights.
The candles in the handsome tent burned from night to day.
Yan Wulu knew that Wanyan Lingxu did not really want to break out into a large-scale battle with "Wanyan Fen".
Regardless of whether we win or lose, the final loss will be the strength of Northern Xinjiang.
However, even Yan Wulu can't think of any good solution at the moment.
Yan Wulu once thought about whether he could win without a fight if he revealed the truth that the other party was "Wan Yanfen" disguised as a wolf tribe member.
but……
Who would believe such outrageous remarks, moreover made by an enemy?
Yan Wulu no longer thinks about this.
Let Wanyan Lingxu think about these difficult issues by himself.
Anyway, she has a very smart mind.
Yan Wulu used the system prop [Attribute Detector] to see a few days ago that Wanyan Lingxu's intelligence was 95.
Among all the people Yan Wulu has inspected, 98 are second only to his father Yan Dong.
What a pity for such a smart person. If he had known earlier, he should have found a way to abduct her to Yanbei first.
…
On the eve of the decisive battle.
Even though Wanyan Lingxu's side has been avoiding a large-scale war, "Wanyan Fen" is chasing after them, forcing them too hard, and the decisive battle is already around the corner.
It is said that "Wan Yanfen" even invited the King of Northern Xinjiang who was based in Baikal City to supervise the battle.
Seeing that the King of Northern Xinjiang, who was said to be dead by the enemy, now appeared in the formation again.
The morale of "Wan Yan Fen"'s army suddenly rose sharply, and at the same time they became more convinced of "Wan Yan Fen's" rhetoric——
Your own side is the right one!
…
The day of the decisive battle.
Two armies confront each other.
Yan Wulu handed over his Zhenbei Army to the command of Wu Yuechang, and he and Wanyan Lingxu stood on the Chinese Army Commander's Platform.
"Your Highness, Princess, you seem to be very confident."
Yan Wulu asked beside Wanyan Lingxu.
Wanyan Lingxu said with a smile on his face, "If it was last night, Lingxu was still not sure, but today, Lingxu is full of confidence."
Yan Wulu was very curious and said he would wait and see.
Wanyan Lingxu asked an incomprehensible question——
"His Royal Highness, are the camouflage northern women's clothes you prepared originally three copies or four copies?"
"Huh?" Yan Wulu didn't react.
Wanyan Lingxu smiled and said, "Forget it, I will know after this battle anyway."
…
In front of the two armies.
There are many swords and guns.
The gongs and drums shook the sky.
The flags cover the sky and the sun.
The morale of the two armies is as high as a rainbow, and the generals on both sides are even more likely to kill their generals and seize the flag.
Wanyan Lie, wearing the "Northern Xinjiang Divine Fire" armor and stomach, slowly walked up to the general stage.
He didn't know if the eldest princess, Wanyan Lingxu, had any other clever strategies to avoid this decisive battle.
But no matter what, he must prepare for the worst!
In order to deal with this fierce battle, Wan Yanlie decided to use all he had learned throughout his life.
The herald's flags are fluttering, and the horsemen are stirring.
Flags were flying, and the army began to move rapidly, as unstoppable as the erupting river.
To the east, northeast, southeast, west, northwest, southwest, south, north, there were horsemen running in all directions.
There was a sea of people on Qishan Mountain, and ten troops were listed to form ten square formations.
With the middle point as the center, there are ten square arrays surrounding it layer by layer. The large array is nested within the small array, with the inner circle and the outer square.
The commander on the general stage issues flag instructions based on the battlefield situation.
The ten outer phalanxes attack or retreat according to instructions. They appear to be chaotic, but are actually orderly.
It seems that the Eight Diagrams are clear, but in fact they coincide with the Nine Palaces.
As the saying goes, "It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest. It invades like fire, and it's as motionless as a mountain."
This is based on what Wan Yan Lie's ancestors already did, the Ten Dynasties Ming King Formation, retaining its essence and eliminating its complexity.
Ability to command large armies in battle, with clear orders and measured advances and retreats, so that even though there are ten thousand people, it is as if they were commanding one person.
Wanyan Lie put on this [Ten Generations of Ming Kings Formation].
The other side.
"Wan Yan Fen"'s army was stunned for a moment.
In the distance, even "Wan Yan Fen" himself was surprised.
A deputy general came forward and reported the detailed situation to "Wanyan Fen".
"Wan Yan Fen" had a complex look on his face. He didn't expect that guy Wan Yan Lie to be able to create such an ancient formation.
However, "Wanyan Fen" soon laughed it off.
"If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid I would really have failed today."
"...But unfortunately, this King Khan happens to know this [Ten Generations of Ming King Formation]."
Wan Yanfen said confidently.
When the surrounding lieutenants saw this, they couldn't help but feel relieved for a moment.
…
[The Tenth Generation Mingwang Formation] is said to be a strange formation created by a certain war god in the Immortal period.
The most important thing about this formation is that ten warriors with high martial arts skills, as "Kings of Ming", must guard the formation.
For this reason, Wanyan Lie also came to see Yan Wulu.
There are only seven lieutenants under his command who are as skilled as the "Ming King".
Therefore, he hoped to secretly borrow three of the generals from the Zhenbei Army, wearing Hu generals' leather armor, and call them "Kings of Ming".
Yan Wulu thought about it and agreed to the other party for the sake of the overall situation.
But Wu Yuechang was a general of the Zhenbei Army, so it was impossible for him to listen to Yan Lie's command.
As for Minami Kawagoe, his martial arts strength is too low and he is not familiar with military formation instructions.
Therefore, Yan Wulu asked Li Mieling, Guo Siyuan, and Yan Xiao to put on General Hu's armor and assist Wanyan Lie's [Ten Dynasties Ming King Formation].
Before setting off, Yan Wulu found the three of them and gave them some instructions. Basically, they should act according to the situation. There was no need to bleed and get injured because of the civil war between the people of Northern Xinjiang.
Even if Wanyan Lingxu's side is defeated this time, Yan Wulu has already prepared a retreat for the Zhenbei Army.
"You three are the future of Zhenbei Army, you can't die here."
When the three of them heard this, a wave of warmth surged in their hearts, and they held their hands.
…
Regarding the [Ten Generations of Ming Kings Formation], it is obvious that "Wanyan Fen" also knows something about it.
He knew that facing such an ancient military formation, it would be absolutely impossible to just let all the sergeants rush forward in a rush and try to defeat it by relying on numbers.
The key to breaking the formation is not the numerical advantage, but the key to conquering the formation.
Therefore, "Wan Yanfen" asked his ten most effective lieutenants, each leading ten thousand horsemen, to attack each position guarded by "King Ming", first to conquer, and second to entangle.
At the same time, "Wanyan Fen" himself also carefully selected ten thousand elite Huqi, whom he personally led as sharp blades to prepare for the final blow to break the formation.
Accompanied by the sound of military drums, the drums were beaten one after another.
A total of more than 200,000 elite Huqi from both sides galloped across the grassland.
Trampled by horse hooves.
In an instant, I felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the sun and moon were dim, and the sand and rocks were flying.
Vaguely, above the formations of both sides, there seemed to be "Armored King" and "Blue Wolf Spirit" appearing.
…
Wanyan Lie’s [Ten Generations of Ming Kings Formation] is indeed extraordinary.
However, Li Mieling and the other three were not Hu generals after all, and their cooperation with the Hu cavalry in the formation was not the best.
And among the remaining seven Hu generals, they were more or less no match for the attacking general.
Even though there were many flaws, they were quickly outweighed by Wan Yanlie's superb command.
[The Tenth Generation Mingwang Formation] played its role, causing the hundreds of thousands of barbarians who entered the formation to fall into a deadly battle.
"Wanyanfen" watched all this quietly from a distance...
While Wan Yan Lie was busy commanding and dispatching the army, "Wan Yan Fen" suddenly stepped down from the command platform, put on his armor and mounted his horse, and led the 10,000 most elite Hu cavalry straight towards him.
Along the way, he quickly passed through the Mingwang formation that was already entangled by his own troops, aiming directly at Wan Yanfen's commanding platform.
Wanyan Lie finally understood this guy's methods.
For a moment, his face turned slightly pale...
The fear in his heart prevented him from engaging in close combat.
However, for the future of Northern Xinjiang and for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Wanyan Lie's sense of honor in his heart prevented him from abandoning the entire army at this time.
Wanyan Lie tried to direct the Mingwang formations around him to come to cover, but every Mingwang formation was now caught in a fight with the enemy.
"Wan Yan Fen"'s Hu Qi attacked quickly.
The few guards around the general platform were all directly charged into the Hu Cavalry led by "Wan Yanfen" in almost a moment.
Wanyan Lie's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and he was much slower in giving orders...
Under General Dian's stage, "Wanyanfen" chopped down a guard sergeant with one knife. He looked at the man on General's stage, and a brilliant light flashed past him.
Without any hesitation, he put his foot on the saddle and flew directly to the judging platform.
Holding the Northern Scimitar, he directly swiped at Wanyan Lie.
This is his method of breaking the formation.
Instead of conquering the formation eyes guarded by the ten "Kings of Ming" one by one, he decided to directly attack the general point platform in the center of the formation!
Of course, this requires the blessing of many factors.
For example, your own troops are far stronger than the opponent's, and the opponent's general is no match for you.
Kill the general and capture the flag, right now!
…
Facing the menacing "Wan Yan Fen" in front of him, Wan Yan Lie hurriedly raised his knife to resist.
His heart was trembling.
He is afraid.
He who has lost his courage cannot be the opponent of "Wan Yan Fen".
After a few moments of fighting, Wanyan Lie was easily kicked away by "Wanyan Fen".
"Wan Yan Fen" is not in a hurry to pursue him. The first priority is to cut off the handsome flag on the stage.
As long as the commander's flag and banner fall, the morale of the army will be shattered.
In such a decisive battle, "Wan Yan Fen" has basically achieved complete victory.
"Wanyanfen" quickly stepped forward.
Wanyan Lie covered the lower abdomen that had just been kicked, raised his head slightly, his eyes were stunned...
He wanted to step forward with a sword to guard the commander's flag and repel the enemy.
However, the fear in his heart made him unable to find any strength to get up and step forward...
It was at this moment that Wanyan Ling's faint but powerful voice came from behind -
"Wanyan Lie, do you still remember who you are?"
…
(1), [The Formation of Ten Dynasties of Ming Kings] is described using part of the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation from "Water Margin".
