This Li Xuyi, like his elder brother Li Xubin, studied under Luo Zenan, one of the founders of the Hunan Army.

And Luo Zenan is a well-known scholar commander.

In history, Li Xuyi's actual military exploits are no more than his brother Li Xubin, but they are far less famous than his brother, and there is a reason for this.

The reason for this is that, as their contemporaries have pointed out, their specialties are different.

Li Xubin's specialty is that he is good at fighting, so when he fights, he has many obvious records of charging into battle and killing the enemy.

And Li Xuyi's specialty is strategy, being able to strategize, arrange troops, make it difficult for the enemy to escape the arranged ending, and let the battle develop in the established direction, so that Li Xubin, who is good at fighting, can achieve the desired victory.

However, these most crucial aspects are not as obvious as they can be seen on the surface, and the reward for meritorious deeds is also based on the final effect, not according to the steps and preparations that precede victory.

Therefore, the two brothers were in a complementary relationship.

Today, Li Xuyi's appearance here is also a result of his own plan.

His current affiliation belongs to the Hunan army, and there is his mentor Luo Zenan in the Hunan army, not to mention, as well as the founder and absolute commander of the Hunan army like Zeng Guofan.

The Hunan army was under the command of Cheng Xucai, the governor of Huguang, and was responsible for the south direction of the decisive battlefield of the two rivers to deal with Feng Yunshan, the southern corps of the Heavenly Army.

Although the legion under the command of Cheng Chucai is full of ministers and generals, there are not many who are both civil and military.

Therefore, when Li Xuyi proposed to send people to occupy the strategic place in the area of Feishui in Bagong Mountain, although he won everyone's support, there was no suitable person to send.

In the end, Li Xuyi, who was all-round in civil and military affairs, became a general in commanding the army. Independently responsible for military operations along the way.

His entire army numbered 70,000 men.

Among them, 30,000 were directly Xiangyong, and the other 20,000 were local gentry armed forces, who were directly recruited by him and deployed in a unified manner.

The unified practice of the various armies was to recruit the local gentry and use them according to their military plans.

With the power of the emperor's desperate order. No one can resist.

Today, Li Xuyi brought people here, first of all, to open up the connection between Feishui and Bagong Mountain, and completely control this area in his own hands.

At his command, the local soldiers went their own way and built their own camps in the way they were familiar with.

They are related to the Hunan army, but they are completely different, they are encamped in an orderly manner according to the strict formation they have trained.

This formation was invented by Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty, and it has a name. It's called the "Mandarin Duck Array".

This formation is a team of eleven people, and the first person is the captain.

The two people next to him clamped the long shield, the second time the two people held the wolf's sword, the second time the four people clamped the spear and the spear, and the second time the two people clamped the short soldiers.

The formation can be adapted, and changing the column into a horizontal team is called a two-instrument array, and the two-instrument array can be changed into a three-talent array.

The three-talent array is suitable for both attack and defense, and is suitable for narrow terrain such as mountains, forests, roads, and ridges.

In addition to the weapons that accompany this formation. Each person is also equipped with a "Jiguang knife", also known as a two-handed knife. It is a long knife that is held with both hands and slashed at the enemy head-on.

The inventor of this long knife is also Qi Jiguang, referring to the katana used by the Japanese at that time, and it is a very powerful infantry weapon.

The main use of the Jiguang knife is to be used when the large army is fighting head-to-head; in that case, all the flexibility and ingenuity are useless, and it is completely dependent on real fighting!

Go with a knife. Either you die or I live.

Martial arts are superior to others, and of course they are the primary guarantee for survival.

The martial arts are comparable, the weapons are superior, and the odds are in hand.

Martial arts and weapons are evenly matched, and they all rely on on-the-spot play.

Martial arts are as difficult to match as weapons. Basically, there is no doubt about defeat.

Of course, there are no absolutes, even if all the martial arts weapons have the upper hand, if you are careless and underestimate the enemy, you will still be defeated.

Because underestimating the enemy on the battlefield is no different from suicide.

As long as you deliberately commit suicide, you can achieve your goal anywhere.

And this Jiguang knife can at least be regarded as the advantage of these Xiangyong weapons.

On Bagong Mountain, there are all soldiers, and this person who pays a little attention to military strategy will be very familiar, because it contains an extremely ridiculous story of self-deception.

The authenticity of this story is basically equal to zero.

It tells the story of the confrontation between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin of the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

This story is recorded in the Book of Jin and Fu Jian's Chronicles.

King Fu Jian and the general Fu Rong invaded the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and when they arrived at the Feishui line, Fu Jian and Fu Rong went to the city to watch the Eastern Jin Dynasty troops.

After watching for a long time, I saw that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were in a neat formation, and the soldiers were elite; and they looked north at the grass and trees on Bagong Mountain that were all humanoid, and Gu Rong said: "This is also a strong enemy, what is the few?"

As he spoke, his face changed drastically.

Will these two people be scared when they see the Eastern Jin Dynasty troops?

Not to mention that they led hundreds of thousands of troops, just to say that these two brothers, one is a usurper, the other specializes in fighting, and they are both the best among the Hu people, how can they be afraid when they see tens of thousands of people?

Fu Jian, who usurped the country and claimed the king, didn't care, just Fu Rong, which was already extraordinary.

The history books say that Fu Rong is well-read and strong, physically strong, good at riding and shooting, good at guns, and proficient in literature, metaphysics, martial arts, political affairs, etc., and is better at judging lawsuits and administrative affairs.

Among such people, it is obviously nonsense to say that they are afraid.

True or not, anyway, this story is used as a sign of cowardice and cowardice that does not distinguish between truth and falsehood.

In this way, of course, no one will be the second of those two parties.

Therefore, it is beyond reproach that Li Xubin did not take it seriously.

When questioning, in the illusion that the grass and trees are soldiers, whether there are really soldiers in the grass and trees.

Others follow the inertia of thinking like this, but it is just a small flaw in their understanding, and it is insignificant.

But Li Xuyi was tragic, and this flaw became his life-threatening talisman.

If he knew that there were ambushes here, he must have been as far away as he was.

If he had the usual vigilance, he would definitely not disrupt its inherent mandarin duck array structure.

Because he felt that there was nothing to do here, he rested and prepared his meal in a hurry.

They had been marching for most of the day, and everyone was hungry and thirsty, and it was the only decent meal they had for the day.

Just when they had just picked up their jobs and their nerves were most relaxed, the blow of the Heavenly Army suddenly came!

Mai Ke took a precision strike this time.

The target of the strike. There are only three things.

The first is their tent.

The second is their low-ranking officials.

The third is the rice bowl they hold in their hands.

To achieve these three blows, Mai Ke used three elements, and also used one element as an auxiliary.

The target of the tent was the Pyrogen.

As soon as the fire element arrives. All the tents were on fire, and all of a sudden, fireworks were everywhere.

It was Kim Won-su who attacked the low-ranking officials, and like arrows, he shot these leading soldiers, mainly the captains of the Mandarin Duck Formation who served as the leaders.

These gold primordial strikes are as effective as ordinary longbows and arrows, but they are even more nowhere to be found!

When the pain in his body came, his life gradually passed away. Only then did I know that I had hit the trick of killing me.

It is Tu Yuan Su who attacks the jobs in the hands of individuals, and this one is the most damaged.

It turned out that the dinner they used as a delicacy was a bowl of relatively thick porridge, and Tu Yuan Su was a Tu Kela, and when it came to the bowl, it was rolled twice, and then it spread out happily!

In this way, a bowl of porridge after reprocessing. It becomes another thing mixed with soil porridge.

All three of these elements are used with the help of aerogens!

Therefore. No matter how long the distance, these would have been short flights, at most medium distances, and they were able to reach the designated target.

Therefore, the use of the three elements is very effective!

Especially the last resort. Very successful in pulling all the hatred!

Not only the good deeds of bad people, but also the good deeds of all people!

Without waiting for Li Xuyi to give an order, these people rushed to Bagong Mountain like a swarm!

Everyone has made up their minds to fight to the death with these bad guys!

Morale is available, and rage is available!

Of course Li Xuyi will not stop them!

But. After they went up the mountain, they hadn't climbed a few steps before they were counterattacked by the Heavenly Army!

These counterattacking heavenly armies are Cheng Tongjin's original bandit armies!

They waited for a long time, they were depressed, it was rare for these Xiangyong to be considerate of them, come to solve their problems, and they welcomed them with a hundred times more enthusiasm.

A wave of hatred came, a wave of idle hands itched, the two teams hit it off and immediately fought!

If these Xiangyong Mandarin Duck Formations hadn't been broken, the Heavenly Army would really not be an opponent in such a mountain battle!

Now it's different, those soldiers of the Heavenly Army who are accustomed to banditry, waiting for work, condescending, with long knives and giant axes, slashed violently, and these attackers were immediately cut down to more than a thousand people!

Seeing these black men roaring again and again, they took a big step forward, and seeing that there were thousands of people who wanted to be headless ghosts, it was inevitable that it was not themselves, so everyone was scared to turn around and run!

Looking at the deserters who ran in front of him, Li Xuyi didn't bother to intercept, and the attack was originally their own idea.

After he let the deserters go, he said to the soldiers around him: "You guys go up!

The quiet and solemn 10,000 Xiangyong immediately started, quickly attacked, and came out of nowhere, like a giant dragon, blocking Cheng Tunjin's charge!

They immediately sacrificed the Mandarin Duck Array, intercepted the impact of the Heavenly Army, and fought here.

Mai Ke, who was watching the battle on the top of the mountain, didn't want to fight, and immediately let people cast three horn cannons.

There is a stalemate here, and if you look at the other side, it is the shore of the fat water.

Li Xuyi's troops actually came from Feishui, their ships and supplies were here, and about a thousand people were left there to guard, which was the lifeline of their rearguard, and they must not be lost.

Where did you think that the special forces of the Heavenly Army, Mizuhara, had all been dispatched and hid in an area called Jiuyoushui Bay.

At this time, when they heard the signal cannon, they immediately jumped out of the water and took Li Xuyi's defensive position in one fell swoop!

Not only did they capture all the defenders, but they also captured all their ships and supplies!

The heavenly army in front was unstoppable, and the back road was fired again, Li Xuyi couldn't control it anymore, and the remaining soldiers screamed and fled in all directions!.
