Chapter 1044: Trying to capture and cripple the enemy

At the foot of Montenegro.

This bait, which attracted the enemy to constantly throw himself into the arms of death, led 400,000 White Russian mercenaries to deviate from the control of the sixth master.

As a result, most of Zhou Wenyu's 500,000 elite reinforcements in the Northeast were eaten away by the Heavenly Army.

There are still more than 100,000 remnants who are still alive.

However, they have been surrounded by the Northern Corps led by Wei Changhui, and they cannot escape.

In accordance with Mai Ke's requirements, Wei Changhui continued to shrink the encirclement, giving the enemy less and less space.

However, Zhou Wenyu is indeed very stubborn and resolutely guards every inch of land.

He knew that he was not fighting alone, that a large number of follow-up troops were coming, and that the emperor would send someone to meet them.

As long as he can hold on, he will definitely be able to join forces with the army, thwart the enemy's obstruction, and even destroy this heavenly army.

Not long ago, he received news that not only did Qishan lead an army of one million to rescue him www.uuxs.cc, but he also came to kill a cavalry from Xuzhou, all of whom were White Russian mercenaries with strong combat effectiveness, and came to relieve them of the siege on the orders of the Sixth Master.

Wei Changhui once shouted many times to ask Zhou Wenyu to surrender, but he resolutely refused.

Knowing that he couldn't give up, Wei Changhui lost his illusions and prepared to attack, destroying this enemy before the time Mai Ke requested.

At this time, Mai Ke's new instructions arrived, telling him not to storm it, but to cooperate with the White Russian mercenaries when they arrived.

If the cooperation is successful, it is expected that the soldiers will not be bloodless, and finally solve this group of enemies.

After Wei Changhui heard this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, aren't these White Russians the mercenaries of the Sixth Master, how can they cooperate with them?

Could it be a celestial army disguised as White Russia?

At this time, Mai Ke was walking side by side with Aleksandrovich, and the clouded leopard honestly took it as if it was there, and all the war horses bowed their heads.

Now Aleksandrovich's army totaled 450,000 men, mainly his original cavalry, as well as two armies of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo.

His own cavalry had 350,000 men left, 50,000 less than before.

This small 50,000 were killed by the saber of the heavenly army in the battle that ended just now.

In fact, the White Russian mercenaries who died under the swords were not only 50,000, but a full 150,000!

Among them, there are 100,000, and although the wounded are severe, they can be treated and raised from the dead.

So Mai Ke found time and asked Lingxi to save these people with a move.

A total of 50,000 people surrendered with Aleksandrovich.

Thus, with the two hundred thousand people who came to Aleksandrovich to relieve the siege of Montenegro, there were still 150,000 left.

Then, the other half of the White Russian mercenaries, Mai Ke and Alexandrovich designed to deceive them out of the city of Xuzhou.

Combined, a total of three hundred and fifty thousand.

In order to help Aleksandrovich ascend to the Tsar's throne first, Mai Ke conspired with him for a long time and set several strategies.

One of them was to return to Alexandrovich all the rescued and captured White Russian cavalrymen, a total of 150,000 men, but they were to stay in China for a while to end the war to overthrow the Manchu rule.

At this stage of time, Mai Ke decided to transfer the previously captured Goryeo mercenaries and Japanese mercenaries to his command.

There were 50,000 each, and 450,000 when the three combined.

Don't look at Alexandrovich's tall horse, bearded, and his actual age is younger than Mai Ke, so after the two got acquainted, they screamed nonsense.

Mai Ke described a grand blueprint to his younger brother, and Rovich's younger brother Rick was so impressed that he immediately updated his goals.

In fact, what Mai Ke said was nothing more than the plan of the Kingdom of Heaven in Europe.

Don't look at Europe is quite lively, according to the area is not large, especially in Western Europe, a place the size of a palm can establish a country.

Maike's basic design was to establish a European alliance, just like the Mekong and Indus River alliances.

If Aleksandrovich is very powerful and has a lot of merit, he can compete for the captain of the covenant, and if he succeeds, he will be the head of the entire canton of Vaud, and then all the people will be under his leadership.

"Brother Mai Ke, when the time comes, you have to pull the little brother along! My target is the Covenant Leader! Hehe! I want to establish immortal feats!" Aleksandrovich entered into a whimsy.

It's no wonder that the family he was born in was the emperor!

One of the basic elements of a tsar is to have ambition!

The ideal picture would be to bring all of Europe under the rule of the Tsar.

However, so far, except in eastern Europe, where the branch route has been almost achieved, there is still a long way to go before the entire goal is achieved.

After walking slowly for about 20 minutes, everyone finally came to the end of the cave on the right.

After a short rest, Mai Ke approached the cave wall, patrolled from left to right, approached the flashlight, and observed carefully.

It didn't take long for Mai Ke to notice several strangely shaped arches in the middle of the rock wall.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a stone door inside the arch, tightly closed, and no gap can be seen.

Mai Ke wanted to see if he could open the door and enter.

Under the tentacles, it was cold.

Mai Ke shouted with one hand and pushed towards the stone gate, but the stone gate did not move.

Mai Ke's dark luck internal strength is left and right, and a vigorous force comes out, and the stone gate is still as stable as a rock.

Mai Ke switched to reaching the stone gate with both hands, first carrying the boat against the current for a few minutes, and when he felt energetic, his arms screamed violently, and his hands knocked out, and a condensed greater force was suddenly added to the stone gate.

I don't want the stone gate to just sound slightly, and there is no movement.

Seeing this, Yue Jian also stepped forward to help Mai Ke.

The strength of the two of them, Xie Qian was added later, and they were pushed a few more times, but the effect was still the same.

After failing to open the door, several people took a few steps back and gave up trying.

Mai Ke looked at Shimen and pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the lecture that Master Yi had given him before.

When he once talked about the combination of formation and architectural art, Master once mentioned that there is an application of using ancient Chinese battle formations in fortifications, such as Qimen Dunjia and Jiugong Bagua formations.

Without the expertise of these bizarre things, it is difficult to decipher them.

Maybe Mai Ke is in good fortune and happens to run into such an application.

It's a pity that Mai Ke doesn't know much about the master's lectures at most, and now I'm afraid that he will hate less when the book is used.

However, Mai Ke still remembers one thing, that is, to deal with such a formation, you can't use brute force. One is that brute force doesn't work, if the materials used in the formation are strong enough.

The second is that brute force may cause damage or danger.

For example, there are valuable, fragile and fragile items hidden in the array, which are immediately destroyed in the event of violence, or explosives, which are immediately detonated at the touch of a mechanism, and the jade is burned.

Mai Ke told Xie Qian and Yue Jian about Mai Ke's thoughts, and they also felt the same way.

Although the two of them have deep military attainments, they do not have a deep study of such a formation.

Mai Ke then learned more about the clearance, and searched carefully paragraph by paragraph to see how many arches there were at the bottom.

As a result, Mai Ke identified a total of eight arches.

They are arranged in a row, each spaced about five meters apart.

Mai Ke also noticed that in the middle of each door, there was a large Chinese character.

After careful discernment, we know that it is those eight characters of Qian, Kun, Kan, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Dui, and Li, which represent the eight things such as heaven, earth, water, thunder mountain, wind, ze, and fire.

However, although Mai Ke knew that these were the eight characters representing the eight trigrams, Mai Ke could not understand why the eight characters representing the eight trigrams appeared here, whether there was something behind the eight arches, and what was there.

By this time, Mai Ke was convinced that the cave was the product of man-made excavation, or at least the use of natural caves by man.

Although they knew that they were not able to break through the maze, Mai Ke was still not too desperate, and carefully studied each door, hoping to make a breakthrough.

The result was still no progress, but it was not without gain, and the Mai Ke at least learned more about the arches and their surroundings.

First of all, the stone used to make the door is the same color as the rock of the surrounding door frame, and it seems that the whole piece was intentionally preserved when the cave behind the door was excavated.

The harmony of the colours and formats of the doors and frames is a testament to the skill and ingenuity of the openers.

At the same time, the Mai Ke also found that different symbols were carved on the door frames around the arches. That's a number of straight lines of different lengths. Mai Ke knew that their different arrangements also represented one of the eight trigrams.

In Master's office, Mai Ke once saw a diagram of yin and yang gossip full of similar symbols.

All of this points to one point: this cave is closely related to the Bagua Array.

If you want to enter the cave, you must be familiar with gossip.

Mai Ke's current gossip is far from the requirements.

Relying on Mai Ke himself, that's the end of it, but Mai Ke has a golden finger.

He immediately asked the spirit rhino to move and asked it to guide him to open the Bagua Array!

After a while, there is a result.

Lingxi started with the Bagua diagram and introduced some specific applications to Mai Ke.

On the surface, gossip is an auxiliary tool used by the ancients to predict good fortune and evil, but in essence, it represents the ancients' perception of the world.

In the eyes of the ancients, the heaven and earth, wind, thunder, water, volcanoes, and rivers represented by Bagua are the eight basic material forms of the world's existence. Everything in the world is nothing but an illusion or appearance of these eight substances. The application of gossip in different fields has since evolved into different disciplines, such as economics, politics, military, and so on.

The Bagua Formation is an application in the military field.

So where did gossip come about?

Mai Ke couldn't help asking.

Lingxi Yidong briefly introduced the source of the gossip.

Bagua was first recorded in the Book of Changes, the first of the four books and five classics of the Chinese classical thought, the so-called life Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip.

"Since Bagua comes from the I Ching, you also have to have a basic understanding of the I Ching in order to truly understand the Bagua. ”.
