Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth battle is imminent
Under the city wall, in the military camp assigned by the Kingdom of Jin to the soldiers of the Dalong Mission.
Mutterings could be heard from time to time in the largest tent.
Waving five small flags in his hand, Liu Mingzhi was explaining the key points to Song Qing and four other people on the starting formation diagram of the Longmen Formation.
"Brother, you are in charge of the golden flag and have ten thousand spearmen and halberds as the leading position. Fang Tian Hua Ji does not use many soldiers in the Jin Kingdom, so we can only use long halberds instead of Fang Tian Hua Ji. Fortunately, the difference is not big. Then you have to
Watch my golden flag change in the center of the formation and command the halberdiers under my command to meet the enemy."
Song Qing carefully recalled the orders represented by the various changes in the command flags that Liu Mingzhi just explained: "Brother, if you remember it, you will definitely obey the orders."
"Qin Yong, you hold the fire flag as the dragon's tail and ten thousand spearmen. You must pay attention to the changes of the command flag and coordinate with the layout of the dragon's head and gold flag's spearmen. The dragon's head and dragon's tail are one of the most important layouts of the Dragon Gate Formation. The chess difference
With one move, the whole game is lost."
"I have the order, don't worry, Mr. Liu, Qin Yong will definitely command the army according to the changes in the fire flag in the center of the formation."
"Su Chen, the water is impermanent. The water flag is the position of the dragon's claws, which are ever-changing. The most important thing is to cooperate with the dragon's head and dragon's tail. The dragon's claws are ten thousand sword and shield soldiers. They protect the safety of the dragon's head and dragon's tail while protecting the enemy from entering the formation.
offensive, do you have any questions?"
Su Chen, one of Song Qing's younger brothers, was also one of the guards who knew how to fight in battle formations. Most of the guards in the palace practiced small battle formations for siege.
Su Chen pointed to a point in the formation diagram: "Master Liu, if the dragon's head and tail are attacked by the enemy at the same time, how should we defend ourselves?"
"The 10,000-strong weapon entrusted to Dragon Belly of Tuqi, as long as the dragon's head and dragon's tail wrap around it, the attacking enemy will become the meal of the dragon's belly, dragon's head and dragon's tail. The dragon's claws and dragon's back must cover the changes of the other three gates.
"
"Su Chen has an order."
"Chen Ke, you are the dragon's belly in earth chess, complementing the dragon's head and tail."
"Chen Ke is ordered."
"Fan Yahui, you are the dragon's back. You must cooperate with the changes of the dragon's claws to cover up and kill the enemies missed by the dragon's claws, and force them into the combined attack formation of the dragon's head and dragon's tail."
"Fan Yahui has the order."
"There are 20,000 people left, and 2,000 archers at each formation gate. Shoot the enemy troops at the formation gate in the center. There are 10,000 and 5,000 flag guards left. I will personally direct the 5,000 backup troops to supplement the gaps in the formation."
.”
Seeing everyone holding their own command flags, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. The power of the Longmen Formation was all based on the command of the Formation Center, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the pressure.
"After a cup of tea, you guys can take a good look at the changing positions of the formation. We will change it in a while. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"It's an order."
Looking at the people who were contemplating with their eyes closed, Liu Mingzhi also closed his eyes and began to evolve all the offensive and defensive changes in the Longmen Formation, making sure not to make the slightest mistake.
During the tea time, a huge formation map was placed in the camp.
"The three people holding the command flags began to wave the command flags in their hands, and gradually became more skillful and coordinated easily."
"Look at the changes in my formation's heart. The rebels attack the dragon's back. The dragon's claws and dragon's belly combine to cover and kill, and the dragon's head and dragon's tail cover up."
On the tower of the capital, the Queen and a group of civil and military ministers were discussing carefully around the starting formation diagram of the Dragon Gate Formation that Yeluhu had drawn from memory.
The Queen looked at the various troop configurations on the formation map: "My dear friends, just now General Yelu has carefully explained to you the changes in the formation map. What do you think of this formation? Can it withstand an army of 400,000 people?
charge?"
"Your Majesty, I have never seen such an exquisite battle formation before. I just don't know how powerful it is?"
"Grand Master, the power of the Dragon Gate Formation depends entirely on how the formation map changes. However, the Great Dragon Master will not hand over the formation map. The power of the formation cannot be calculated just by relying on the starting formation map."
"General Yelu, how about excluding the changes in the Longmen formation? Just setting up the formation in the swamp in the west and north of the city is a clever move. It relies on natural dangers to block the rebels' large numbers, and at the same time, it can prevent the enemy from attacking from the side. The cooperation can be said to be
It’s watertight.”
"These are all secondary. These arrangements all depend on the Longmen Formation. If the Longmen Formation can withstand the rebels' attack, we will be in the right place at the right time. The only difference is the peace and harmony."
The Queen sighed softly: "We can also get people and people, as long as tonight's exhaustion strategy makes the rebels' spirits become trance, it can be said that the time is right, the place is right, and the people are available."
Yeluhu nodded lightly: "Your Majesty is right. The root cause of everything now lies in the Longmen Formation. As long as the formation is reliable, we may not be able to defeat the rebels by surprise."
"General, there is a lot of gambling involved here. If the Dragon Gate Formation is unreliable, not only will 70,000 men be shattered to pieces, but the capital city will be breached soon."
"That's right, there is no formation map. The power of the Longmen formation depends entirely on what the dragon commander says. Why should we believe that he can retreat the enemy? What if he is defeated?"
"Dalong's battle formation is indeed good. It can resist several times the enemy based on various changes in attack and defense. However, I have lived seventy-two times, and I have never heard of any battle formation that can resist an army of 400,000 with 70,000 people."
"One more thing, don't forget. There are 20,000 cavalrymen in the Turkic Royal Court of Spissi who are watching eagerly. Once General Jin Kezheng's 10,000 cavalrymen are entangled by them, our situation will be greatly disadvantaged."
The Queen narrowed her bright eyes and tapped her jade fingers lightly on the table: "I believe in Master Liu's Dragon Gate Formation."
"Your Majesty, war is not a child's play. You cannot make decisions easily based on your own senses."
The old master Longdo shook his beard and looked at the Queen cautiously.
The Queen shook her head gently: "Grand Master, a person like him will not joke with his own life. Without 100% certainty, he will never lead an army of 70,000 to face the enemy of 400,000."
Yeluhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about anything else. I just want to say that the arrangement of this confrontation is absolutely ingenious. I am willing to believe it. However, after all, the matter is very important. I also feel that I cannot face the enemy rashly.
, it is better to be safe, this is the best strategy.”
The Queen pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "My dear friends, the reason why the Dragon Envoy dared to form a formation to meet the enemy must be because of something we ignored."
"Your Majesty is talking about reinforcements?"
"Yes, General Gao's reinforcements were entangled by the Turkic cavalry, but the reinforcements from the Huyan tribe can arrive in two and a half days. Yesterday and today, as long as the rebels do not attack, the reinforcements from the Huyan tribe will arrive tomorrow.
, then it will be the end of the rebel army. The rebel cavalry will be very few and will not pose a threat to the 50,000 cavalry of the Huyan tribe."
"Your Majesty agrees to deploy 70,000 troops to form a formation outside the city to meet the enemy?"
"Offense is the best defense. This sentence is so true. It is really disadvantageous for us to be passively defensive. Now it is better to take the initiative and strangle the rebels."
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the basis for Your Majesty to swear so confidently?"
The Queen's eyes flashed: "Those who cherish their lives will not joke with their own lives."
All the Jin ministers were speechless.
"Hui'er, go ask Master Liu and tell him that I agree to set up a formation to meet the enemy."
ps: I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
My little brother has a bad cold. He doesn't have the energy to code and can only keep three updates. Otherwise, the affairs of Jin Guo would have been over long ago.
As soon as I recover from my illness, I will resume updating for everyone.
