The battle on the Jiaozhi battlefield did not stop, after the victory of the first battle of the Yanyue Array, Pang Lu directly pushed the large array ten miles, and sent people to insult and provoke in front of the Wohua Mountain military camp, because of the huge losses in the previous battle, Lin Han and Liang Jin decided to withdraw their troops, although such a passive defense will only speed up the advance of the enemy's large array, but it is the only best way to reduce the loss of living forces.

The five-day contraction of the defensive line made many of De Lin Han and Liang Jin's subordinates indignant, especially several lieutenant generals who were stopped several times when they tried to go into battle with armor, and their anger had nowhere to vent.

On the sixth day, the grain and grass were finally delivered, although it would take a day or two for the reinforcements led by Chu Hong and Luo Hu to arrive, but Lin Han and Liang Jin were already less worried.

Liang Jin was opposed at first, even if his opposition was not obvious in the encouragement of everyone: "The flying eagle I sent has received a reply, and the military advisor Sikong Jin is also not familiar with the Qimen formation, and he said that he has never heard of this glaive formation, let alone the method of cracking it, we are now in the battle, and we are in the hands of the enemy, and how many people go are just sent to death." ”

Du Henghe said: "That Li Zhengxing scolded in front of the camp for days, my brothers have already been eager to go out of the battle to break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, although he is an eight-stage martial arts master, but he is not an invincible existence, as long as I give me a hundred light horses, I will join forces with a seven-stage brother, and I will be able to capture you alive." ”

Liang Jin scolded: "Stupid! Do you really think that the other party will fight you alone, Pang Lu is now three times the strength of me, luring us into the battle just to annihilate our strength, and when the time is right, a large-scale attack can annihilate us in one fell swoop." ”

Du Heng and Yu Sai: "But ......"

Jiang Ming looked at Du Heng and his appearance and felt quite funny, but he had his own thoughts, so he said: "Brother Liang, what General Du said is correct, if we blindly avoid fighting will only make our morale low, it is better to send me to lead a cavalry to break through today." ”

Liang Jin was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Ming say this, and said, "Could it be that Mr. Mu Ya has made a discovery?"

In the past few days, Mu Ya has followed the scouts on the front line of the enemy's battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to observe the distribution of the Glaive Array, although every day's hope has not come to fruition, they have never given up.

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be so easy, Mu Ya said, the Glaive Array is too complicated, and the enemy movements we can observe now are very few, so it is simply impossible to crack it." But he asked me to go and explore the array, and he was observing the operation of the great array, and maybe something new would be discovered. ”

Liang Jin said: "But we all know the danger of the Glaive Array, what if we are trapped and die in it?"

Jiang Ming said: "Mu Ya already has a way, although he can't break through the big array, he can detect some loopholes in the glaive array, as long as these loopholes are used reasonably, a few people can still advance and retreat safely." ”

Liang Jin asked, "Then how many people does he think is suitable?"

Jiang Ming said: "There are less than twenty people, and they all need light cavalry, equipped with long hooks and spears, so it is more certain to break into the formation." ”

Liang Jin hesitated for a moment, there was a struggle in his eyes, and Lin Han on the side smiled and said: "I will go with him, Jiang Ming naturally dares to go, he must be sure, I will send the most elite cavalry in my battalion to follow him." ”

Jiang Ming said: "You can't go, your injuries haven't healed yet, and if you go, you will inevitably suffer, and I'm just going to explore the formation, not fighting, just come back quickly." ”

Jiang Ming went out on the expedition, still wearing a linen robe, without an inch of armor. He wore a silver-white armor, and felt that the other protective armor was completely inferior, or even could not be used for defense at all, so he felt that it was better not to wear it.

Jiang Ming went out to fight, a long halberd is enough, although he is not a light cavalry, but he is a charge general, that day in front of Hou Fengwang's mansion and the south gate of Jiangcheng, you can see his domineering halberd method.

Jiang Ming went out on the expedition, twenty horsemen behind him, except for Du Heng and his strength reached the seventh stage, the others were of average strength, and the Chen brothers and sisters followed behind, which was called "experience".

Pang Lu and the other generals were practicing to perfect the complete form of the Glaive Formation, but they heard a sentry report: "Report, a light cavalry of about twenty people has entered the battle, led by a man in a hemp robe with a halberd. ”

Pang Lu thought darkly, but he didn't know what this cavalry was going to do, so he said: "The four generals who came out of the battle before entered the battle, and they are bound to kill the linen-robed man." Deng Zhun and Lu Xingyang followed me to the high platform. "Li Zhengxing, Luo Yaohua, Zhao Shi and a martial artist whose strength was at the peak of the seventh rank listened to the order and brought his armor into battle.

However, it was said that Jiang Ming led the cavalry into the battle and ran straight to the end of the moon, Chen Yiche and Chen Xinxue held the long sword on the left and right, Du Heng and a group of cavalry held a long hook and spear in the back, and Jiang Ming killed the armor soldier who encountered the road, even if he did not die with one blow, Du Heng and the back could also make up the knife in time. The whole team encountered a pursuit from both sides of the head and tail, which was also discovered by Mu Ya's observation, because the team marched very fast, the enemy army could not react in time, and it was impossible to send armor soldiers to besiege on the side, so Jiang Ming and the others marched quite smoothly.

After galloping for about ten minutes, the war horse was finally interrupted by a wandering team, which was the greedy wolf rider led by Li Zhengxing, guarding the place at the end of the moon.

Jiang Ming's eyes were cold, and he didn't stop, and ordered: "Don't be blocked, just rush over, don't fight." Jiang Ming said and slaughtered Li Zhengxing, as long as this really difficult opponent was trapped, the others would not be enough to stop their light cavalry.

However, Jiang Ming still underestimated the strength of the greedy wolf horse, whether it was a war horse or martial arts, every greedy wolf rider was stronger than his own cavalry, just as soon as he fought, two people were stabbed off the horse, fortunately, Du Henghe's strength was not weak, and he directly relied on one person to block the impact of more than ten horses, and sent the team out before a large number of cavalry were not encircled. Du Henghe glanced at Jiang Ming, who was fighting with Li Zhengxing, with complicated eyes, at this time, he no longer had any targeting and disdain, and shouted: "General Jiang Ming, retreat quickly!"

Jiang Ming opened the style, quickly anticipated Li Zhengxing's next move, although it was impossible to defeat it, but successfully picked up the spear in Li Zhengxing's hand, Li Zhengxing's body jumped up to grab the gun, Jiang Ming kicked him in the chest, and dismounted. Jiang Ming also took this opportunity to run towards Du Henghe.

Du Heng and after all were more experienced in combat, and while repelling the pursuers for the cavalry team, he forcibly opened the circle surrounded by the greedy wolf cavalry to meet Jiang Ming's retreat. At this time, Li Zhengxing's three seventh-rank martial artists rushed over quickly, if the opponent was only two of them, he could still resist, but the three of them shot at the same time, maybe it would not take a few moves to make him a ghost.

"The thieves are gone!"

"Kill!"

"Let Yan take your dog's life!"

Du Heng and just after the fight felt the pressure was huge, the three of them were obviously not the first to enter the seventh stage of the martial arts, every move was towards Du Henghe's vital point, only three or four rounds, he was smashed off the horse by a sledgehammer, seriously injured and difficult to resist the enemy, but the enemy's spear stabbed to the chest, just at this moment, a black halberd shot the spear away.

Jiang Ming rode his horse and swept past the three seven-stage martial artists, and with a sweep of the halberd, the three of them were a little unable to resist, and almost fell off the horse, taking this opportunity, Jiang Ming bent down and pulled Du Heng and got on the horse, and did not think that he could kill a seven-stage martial artist, so he clamped his legs and fled.

Passing through the eye of the moon tail formation, Jiang Ming and Du Henghe quickly ran towards the eye of the moon convex, this glaive array is especially the most difficult to break through with the two positions of the moon concave and moon convex, the reason is that the two can change each other, and the echo speed is extremely agile.

Du Henghe hesitated for a while, his face was quite embarrassed, and he said: "General Jiang Ming, thank you for saving me before, I thought you wouldn't save me because of my offending before, but now that I think about it, it's my villain's heart." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Don't say these words, you didn't do anything unforgivable, what did you do?"

The army in front quickly surrounded it again, it was Luo Yaohua, an eighth-stage person who was armed with two swords but was good at hidden weapons, and his appearance at this time was naturally inevitable and it would be a hard battle, but Jiang Ming would not be afraid, and these cavalrymen who dared to probe the formation with their lives would not be afraid, because they would go through every eye of this glaive formation today, so that the observers in the distance could get the most useful information.

Mu Ya and Lin Han observed the direction of Jiang Ming and the others on the observation platform and the changes of the enemy's array, although the evolution is complicated, but it always belongs to the category of Qimen, bound by various Qimen rules, Mu Ya looked at it for six days, and finally found some doorways, so he took a branch and drew a shape of an eight-door disc on the ground, how is the earth, how is the wind Xun, it seems to be calculating this data, about half an hour passed, he finally raised his head and smiled happily: "It's okay." ”

Lin Han asked, "Mr. Mu Ya, have you seen through this formation?"

Mu Ya said: "It's hard to see through, but his changes have a certain law, Pang Lu sets the position of the eight gates according to the time and place, and then sets the speed of change according to the strength of the martial artist, I just found the way to get out of the formation tomorrow in the glaive formation, and I can break the formation by entering the formation tomorrow." ”

This is Mu Ya's self-confidence, once he determines the truth of a thing, he will be firm. Lin Han didn't hesitate, and said, "Then we will break the formation tomorrow, and I will send a signal to let Jiang Ming out of the formation first." ”

When Jiang Ming returned to the camp, it was already close to dusk, Jiang Ming entered the battle at noon, and it took two hours to break into the battle, but it took three or four hours to find a way out.

Jiang Ming handed over the Fang Yuan halberd to the armor on the side and sent it back to the camp tent, but he was already paralyzed on the ground, but he smiled and said to Mu Ya: "Mu Ya, next time I will never believe you again, you didn't tell me that the direction when you went out of the formation has been changing, I have been looking for a way to live, according to your method, when you meet the south, then the north, when you meet the formation, the eye of the formation will go east, and when you meet the armor soldiers, you will go west, although the truth is correct, but this is too hard." ”

Mu Ya also raised his head and laughed, helped Jiang Ming into the camp tent and sat on the chair, and said: "This is also the reason why I let you go, Commander Liang Jin is not good at riding and naturally can't act quickly, although Commander Lin Han can charge, but the follow-up force is difficult to delay, only you are the neutralizer of the two, which is quite suitable for this task." ”

Jiang Ming was speechless, but not really annoyed, took the tea handed over by Liang Jin and drank it all, and was about to tell Lin Han and Liang Jin about what happened during the war, but Du Henghe walked in with vegetable soup and steamed buns at this time, and gestured slightly to the two commanders, and handed the food to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming is naturally not polite, he has contributed the most in this battle, and now he is extremely hungry, and he is in a hurry to eat after taking the vegetable soup steamed buns.

Du Heng said: "Please don't blame the two commanders, General Jiang Ming should be extremely tired, after all, he took us seven or eight times in a row today to fight with the enemy's eight-stage master, and there are at least hundreds of souls under the halberd alone, and what is even more infuriating is that General Jiang Ming killed a seven-stage martial artist in the battle today, which greatly shocked the morale of our army." ”

Liang Jin asked, "What about the dead and wounded?"

Du Henghe said: "Six people were killed, one person was cut off and rested in the camp, and the others may have some minor injuries, a total of fourteen people came back." ”

Liang Jin and Lin Han took a breath of cool air, such a low loss surprised them, even Mu Ya on the side was a little incredulous, they had originally guessed that this cavalry of twenty people, it was already good to be able to come back five or six people, who would have thought that this number was only the number of people who could not come back.

Du Henghe said: "It is he who has opened up a way for us to survive again and again, and then every time His Royal Highness protects us to retreat, and goes to a safer place when the Glaive Array is not encircled, even if there are infinite armor soldiers and countless swords and halberds, it can be thanks to General Jiang Ming's leadership that we can complete this mission." Commander, in the past, I was short-sighted, and I will know my mistake in the end. ”

Du Henghe knelt on one knee, this salute was very heavy.

Jiang Ming said: "Get up, I'm not so stingy, hurry up and eat something, there should be a more dangerous battle tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" Du Heng and his jaw head retreated.

Mu Ya asked, "How are Xiao Yi and Xiao Xue, are they hurt?"

Jiang Ming said while eating: "They should be the easiest today, but the potential of their brother and sister is really extraordinary, and before they know it, their strength has reached the level of the power of the five leads, and today they joined forces, and they actually repelled a sixth-rank martial artist, which is really incredible." ”

Mu Ya was not too surprised by this, and said: "That's good, it's good that you're not injured, and we'll arrange a plan to break the formation tomorrow after you finish eating, thanks to your hard work this time, I don't fail in my mission." ”

In a short time, all the generals were gathered in the main camp tent, but the people who spoke this time were not the two commanders, but a rather faceless Confucian man, and some people remembered that he came with Jiang Ming Jiang Ming, who was in the eighth rank.

Lin Han and Liang Jin, the two commanders, stood in front of the case and gave the power to Mu Ya completely, which is also a trust in Jiang Ming, and the deputy generals will not underestimate this person because of this.

Mu Ya took out a drawing, which was the approximate distribution of the strength of the Glaive Array, and Mu Ya said in detail: "This time to break the formation, I need two thousand four hundred and sixteen elite armor soldiers, no more and no less, of which four hundred are light cavalry, must follow the main general, this main general, Lin Han is in charge." Don't do it, you can only kill the halberd armorers hidden in the head and tail of the moon in the enemy's formation. ”

Lin Han looked at his side and found that his subordinate lieutenant general didn't seem to be listening carefully, so he knelt directly on one knee in front of the case and said, "Lin Han listens to the order!" This soft shout scared the thinking of several other people back, even Jiang Ming and Liang Jin didn't expect that Lin Han would work so hard to increase Mu Ya's value in order to make his subordinates pay enough attention.

After Mu Ya was slightly surprised, he said: "The rest of the people are divided into four groups, each group of five hundred people, led by Jiang Ming, Liang Jin, Luo Fengzhi, Du Heng and the four generals, distributed in the southeast, northwest and four directions, I will talk to you about the specific method of using military later." ”

"Liang Jin listens to orders!"

"Jiang Ming listens to orders!"

"Luo Fengzhi listens to orders!"

"Du Heng and listen to orders!"

Mu Ya said again: "The remaining sixteen people are led by Liu Guan, although these seventeen people are not directly involved in breaking the formation, but everyone must be the elite of the elite, because I want you to act as the last answer, you need everyone to be proficient in horsemanship, and good at using spears, and everyone's martial arts strength is above five ranks." ”

Liu Guan stood up at this time and said with a smile: "This general, with all due respect, what is the purpose of the general's last article Everyone is above the fifth rank, you must know that in that kind of huge battlefield, stronger warriors should be sent as charges, but since we are on the task of taking over, we only need to give me some old and weak soldiers, why waste troops." ”

Mu Ya frowned slightly, and said: "Do you know that the method of arranging troops in the Glaive Array is to control the strong with the weak, to overcome the strong with the many, and to eliminate the weak with the strong, if your team is too weak, because of its own numbers, you will be targeted by the local powerhouses, as long as this method can be circumvented." And after the formation is broken, you will be the team that plays a key role in the retreat of the entire army, that is, the enemy army is broken and trampled on each other, what you have to do is to clear the way for the army with all your might, if the strength is too weak, how can you take on this heavy responsibility?"

Liu Guan was speechless for a while, and also knelt down and bowed his head: "Liu Guan listens to the order!"

How could Lin Han not know the virtues of his subordinates, so he knew that he was unconvinced before, so he patted Liu Guan on the shoulder and said: "Remember, this battle is extremely important to us, put away your careful thoughts, I will not participate in the selection of elites, you must be strict and must meet Mr. Mu Ya's requirements." As long as you return from this victory, you can get three times the monthly salary. ”

Liu Guan said yes again and again.

Then Mu Ya arranged tasks for each team one by one, accurate and detailed to what position should be reached at each hour, and even what kind of troops should be challenged, as well as how to meet the enemy general, but can be described one by one, although many of them sound unreasonable, but Mu Ya emphasized that these words must be remembered, and several generals have restated those words one by one, and Mu Ya can be relieved.

After all the generals returned to the camp to repair, Jiang Ming asked Mu Yadao: "You have understood the big formation in the past few days, if you don't say that you are a genius, I don't believe it, how sure are you that you will break the formation tomorrow?"

Mu Ya smiled: "How sure are you? This is redundant, since I dare to say that I will break the formation, I am very sure, of course, the premise is that you executors don't temporarily drop the chain!"

Jiang Ming shook his head and teased: "It's really elusive confidence, I should call you Mu Zixin in the future." ”

Mu Ya didn't refute either, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will take the army out of the camp, Liang Jin has already given me the position of the commander of the battalion, my task is not lighter than yours, I hope you return safely." ”

Jiang Ming smiled, but swallowed a lot of pressure: "Each other!"
