Chapter 488: Formation

The flag covers the sky, covering the sun, moon and stars.

In the east, an army of more than 70,000 people stood outside the city on the northwest side of the capital.

The army of 70,000 was divided into five columns of men and horses, arranged according to the formation of the nine palaces, gossip, yin and yang, and five elements. It's shocking from afar.

Those who didn't know it thought it was a dragon with its claws flaunting and dancing outside the capital, hovering and winding on the ground.

For fear that something would happen, the 70,000 people who went out of the city in the middle of the night had already evolved two offensive and defensive changes in the Longmen Great Array by relying on the changes in the formation of the heart and flag.

All in silence.

Everything seemed to be exactly as Liu Mingzhi expected, the fourth drum sounded, and the 70,000 troops were divided into two formations, and after leaving the city from the north gate and the west gate, they encountered the enemy's patrol scouts in less than half a pillar of incense.

The rebel scouts saw such a large number of guards leaving the city, and they hurriedly went to report to Wan Yan Lie and a few people.

The rebels, who had already been exhausted by the tactics of the exhausted troops, not only did not take the initiative to attack, but retreated about five miles in a panic.

There is no way, fighting at night is a taboo for soldiers, and it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the dark light.

In addition, the rebels did not know what conspiracy the defenders were playing, for fear of falling for it.

After all, the successive discordant tactics had already made a deep impression on them, and if the defending generals on the city walls played some other tricks, the rebels, who had long been exhausted by the sound of drums at the head of the city, might really stumble.

There is no way, although Wan Yanlie and the three of them know that the drums and the sound of rushing and killing on the city wall are suspicious tactics, just to consume their own morale, they can ignore it at all, and let the soldiers under their command rest in peace.

However, Wan Yanlie and the three of them didn't dare to bet, in case it was really over.

The rebels, who bear the brunt of the attack, will surely suffer heavy losses.

The three of them have ghosts in their hearts, and they each have their own calculations, so they naturally don't want to see such a result.

Therefore, he could only take advantage of the bright night to retreat about five miles.

It can only be said that everything is a coincidence, and it coincides with Liu Dashao's calculations.

Liu Mingzhi held the jade seal in his hand and looked at the fifty Jin soldiers who were proficient in the Han and Jin languages: "Send thirty cavalry scouts to explore the traces of the enemy, light a fire to cook in the shortest time to replenish physical strength, and go all out to welcome the arrival of the enemy." ”

"Order."

"Jerod obeys."

"The end will be."

"Order the three armies, order the flag to move, and those who dare not obey will be decided."

Yeluhu hesitated and gritted his teeth: "Yeluhu has an order." ”

Looking at Yeluhu's distant back, Liu Mingzhi smiled disdainfully: "It seems that I still don't give up, I want to stay by the young master's side and peek at the changes in the array flag, what you think is quite beautiful." ”

"Song Qing, Qin Yong, Su Chen, Chen Ke, Fan Yahui, military orders are like mountains, and the order flag is a military order, and the life and death of 70,000 people must not be careless, if there is a mistake, don't blame me for not being emotional."

The five of Song and Qing held the flagpole of the order flag tightly, and took a deep breath: "The last general will be ordered." ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at the remaining twenty Jin Guoren: "Everyone, after a while, you will explain the meaning of the formation flag to the soldiers of the Five Roads Formation Gate, do you understand the meaning of the flag change I explained just now?" ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, we have already memorized everything, and there will never be the slightest mistake."

"Then I am relieved, and I am ready to fill my stomach to meet the enemy."

"The last will be retired."

Liu Mingzhi sat cross-legged on the high platform in the center of the formation, closed his eyes and pondered, calculating various offensive and defensive changes in his mind.

From time to time, he put scones in his mouth and ate while thinking.

When the 70,000 army knew that they were setting up a formation outside the city to deal with the 400,000 army, they actually wanted to resist, and many opposing voices were suppressed by Liu Mingzhi.

Thirty thorns were cut off on the spot, and the head is still hanging on the flagpole.

Anyway, it's not his own person, Liu Mingzhi doesn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, he can't tolerate the slightest mistake in the Longmen Great Array, and if he doesn't have a ruthless heart to stabilize the army's heart, sooner or later he will be ruined.

The benefits of the supremacy of monarchy in feudal society were highlighted at this time.

As soon as the jade seal of the country came out, the opposition disappeared.

The lofty idea that the monarch wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, even Liu Mingzhi has to admire the brainwashing ability of Confucian culture.

The ancestors of the Jin Kingdom were nomads, and after the baptism of Confucian culture, they became almost the same as the people of Dalong, just like the pyramid schemes of later generations.

The 70,000 army was nervous, and Liu Mingzhi was even more nervous, and no one was more distracted than him.

It is absolutely rare in the world for a man who has never led a soldier to suddenly command an army of 70,000 men one day.

If this battle can successfully retreat from the enemy, Liu Mingzhi's reputation will resound throughout Dalong, Turkic and Jin.

And it can be ranked among the famous generals.

70,000 against 400,000, a force of one to six can still defeat the enemy, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the god of war in the second life.

Throughout history, there have been countless battles in which fewer have won more, but there are very few battles with such a large gap.

The empress leaned over the city wall and looked at Liu Mingzhi in the mirror tube: "It's really like a fox, and I don't want to eat at all." ”

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Gate Great Array looks too shocking, it seems to be a winding and circling dragon lying outside the city with its teeth and claws."

Hui'er's tone was full of shock.

The empress put down the clairvoyant mirror in her hand: "I can't see anything strange at all from the formation diagram, I only feel that the formation is precise and full of changes, but only when I see it with my own eyes can I understand how terrifying it is, just the formation is like this, if the formation is transformed, wouldn't it be even more shocking, Taishi, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has arranged for fifty well-informed scholars to stop at the head of the city to watch, and every offensive and defensive change in the Longmen Great Array will be memorized by them at that time."

"Those who know me, the master also."

"Your Majesty, it failed, Lord Liu didn't let the people of the Jin Kingdom get close to the platform at all, and the soldiers who protected the platform were all the personal guards of Dalong's mission."

Jerod walked up to the wall in despair.

The empress smiled indifferently: "As expected, General Yelu doesn't have to blame himself, if the Longmen Great Array can really fight the enemy with 70,000 against 400,000, even if it is me, I will not easily let the formation map show people." ”

"Hui'er, has General Kim Kezheng replied?"

"Your Majesty, General Jin has replied that he has led 10,000 cavalry to ambush in the dense forest in the southwest outside the city, as long as the signal arrives, he will immediately surprise the rebels' rear army with heavy equipment."

"Okay, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, General Yelu, you go and command the 30,000 forbidden troops on the city wall, and form a horn with the Longmen Great Array outside the city to relieve their pressure."

"The minister has an order."

The sun rose in mid-air, and the southern part of the capital began to sound a continuous sound of horns, piercing the sky.

After a while, the smoke and dust rolled in the south of the city, and the light of day was gone.

More than 300,000 troops attacked the capital.

Suddenly, all the people became nervous, and there was a solemn aura in the air.

Liu Mingzhi got up and checked the armor on his body, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rise."

Dozens of heralds shouted together and passed on Liu Mingzhi's command.
