In the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After the hundred officials left the imperial study, Cao Cao and Jiang Ji had a secret talk, and it was not until dusk that Jiang Ji left the Northern Wei Palace.

Cao Cao was ambitious, striding out of the imperial study, looking at the picturesque rivers and mountains in the twilight in the distance, and a strong murderous aura appeared in his eyes.

"Emperor Chu, a hundred countries are competing, I'm afraid there is no place for you."

The breeze blew by, and Cao Cao's figure turned into a cloud of black mist and quickly disappeared over the palace.

At this time.

After three days of marching, the Chu army had arrived at the city of Ruzhou, and Emperor Chu, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Luo Shixin, Chu Ya and others stood on their horses, and their eyes all converged on the city of Ruzhou.

"Your Majesty, if you capture Ruzhou City, you will really enter the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there are only the last two cities left from Luoyang, the divine capital."

"Feng Xian, do you know who the Ruzhou City Guard is?"

"Back to the emperor, the general of Ruzhou City is Cao Xiu, the son of the Cao Cao clan."

Lu Bu spoke, and Emperor Chu bowed his head lightly and did not say much, and ordered the three armies to camp on the spot.

"Why didn't the emperor order to take Ruzhou directly, but instead set up camp here?"

Lu Bu was puzzled, and asked out, only to see Emperor Chu chuckle, jumped off the horse, and said: "Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Yuan Chonghuan and others defeated Diaolongguan and fled into Ruzhou City. ”

"Set up camp first, make a feint at night, and test the truth!"

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Chu Ya, and Li Yuanba dismounted one after another and ordered the three armies to camp on the spot. The stars are changing, the wind and clouds are changing, and in the blink of an eye, the night has covered the earth.

The moon was in the sky, the stars were shining, the night breeze was clear, the ancient trees rustled in the wilderness, and Emperor Chu walked out of the big tent and looked at the city of Ruzhou that emitted dim lights in the distance.

"Shixin, Pang De, an hour later, the two of you will lead 10,000 soldiers to Ruzhou City to test the defense of the city."

"Zilong, Yuanba, Fengxian, Chu Ya, Su Lie, Dian Wei, the six of you take turns to guard, and the others go to rest early, tomorrow there will be another big battle under the city of Ruzhou."

The generals ordered to leave, Emperor Chu turned back to the big tent, and began to immerse himself in cultivation, after a while, Emperor Chu heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the camp, and he knew that it must be Luo Shixin and Pang De's Chu army marching to Ruzhou City.

At midnight.

Pang De and Luo Shixin returned with their troops, and the two entered the big tent to report to Emperor Chu, and after learning of the defense deployment of Ruzhou City, Emperor Chu ordered the two to go down to rest.

The second half of the night.

Emperor Chu did not rest, he looked at Sun Tzu's Art of War, and at the same time deduced the method of capturing Ruzhou City, until the morning light spilled through the big tent and fell to the ground, he withdrew from the deduction tactics.

"Your Majesty, the enemy soldiers in Ruzhou City have moved!"

"Hmm!"

"Could it be that the enemy soldiers in Ruzhou City still dare to take the initiative to attack?"

Emperor Chu looked puzzled, got up and walked outside the big tent, and looked in the direction of Ruzhou City with Zhao Yun.

Under the city of Ruzhou, the war drums are rising, the horses are neighing, the wolf smoke is rising to the sky, and the smoke and dust are condensed like a long dragon, sweeping the sky.

"What kind of trick is the enemy soldiers in Ruzhou City doing, so they are suspicious?"

Emperor Chu muttered to himself, retracted his gaze, and said loudly: "Zilong, I want to see what Cao Xiu is capable of, when I order the army to open up and attack Ruzhou City!" ”

An hour later.

Under the leadership of Emperor Chu and the generals, the neat and uniform Chu army continued to approach the city of Ruzhou, with horses' hooves rumbling, banners hunting, and ten thousand armies marching hand in hand, with great momentum and earth-shattering.

At this time, on the city of Ruzhou, Cao Xiu stood on top of the city, squinting slightly and looking at the Chu army outside the city: "It was these Chu troops who defeated Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, who were indeed well-trained and advanced and retreated freely, and it seemed that they were a force that should not be underestimated." ”

"Why should the virtuous son-in-law be afraid, our army is well-armed, the big array has been opened, and the Chu army dares to enter the battle, and there is only one death."

The person who spoke, with a face like Fu Fen, two yellow eyebrows, a body length of nine feet, a waist of ten girths, holding two prison dragon sticks, and a sharp essence looked down at the city.

"With the help of my father-in-law, my son-in-law is naturally not afraid of the Chu army!"

Cao Xiu's majestic voice sounded, and he looked sideways at Yang Lin beside him, looking full of confidence.

Emperor Chu didn't know that Cao Xiu had invited Yang Lin to help him two days ago, and it was impossible to think that Yang Lin, the backer of the Great Sui who had the courage of ten thousand men in history, would be implanted in the city of Cao Xiu's father-in-law when he returned to the war continent.

Yang Lin was good at making two dragon sticks, he was originally a general of the Erpin Empire, but after the defeat of the Hundred Kingdoms War and the collapse of the empire, he led his people to live outside the city of Ruzhou, and never went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

If it weren't for Cao Xiu's repeated begging, he would never have gone out of the mountain, but since he promised Cao Xiu to retreat from the enemy, he didn't come alone, and at the same time found his former friend, Ding Yanping, a veteran of two guns.

"Virtuous son-in-law, order the army to be vigilant to prevent the Chu army from raiding, and then step into the footsteps of Nanque City, and I will go out of the city to help the general."

Yang Lin's firm voice sounded, gently patted Cao Xiu's shoulder, and walked towards the city.

In the past two days, Cao Xiu saw Yang Lin and Ding Yanping deduce a long snake formation, and knew that this formation was powerful, and if the Chu army entered it, it would definitely be dead.

The mighty Chu army was approaching the city of Ruzhou, the Chu Emperor looked up and looked forward, only to see the high platform under the city, the war drums were like thunder, tens of thousands of soldiers and armor were standing with their soldiers, and the cavalry were all reining horses, looking eager to try, waiting for a decisive battle with the Chu army.

"Your Majesty, what kind of formation is this Cao Xiu, it seems that he has been prepared."

Zhao Yun silver-armored spear, asked sideways, Emperor Chu did not answer, stared at the two generals on the high platform, his eyes were shocked, and then he muttered to himself.

"Yang Lin, the king of the backer, Ding Yanping, a veteran of two guns, no wonder there will be a long snake formation."

Emperor Chu felt a little strange as soon as he noticed the formation in front of him, it was definitely not a big formation that Cao Xiu could put up, and now that he knew the existence of Yang Lin and Ding Yanping, the doubts in his heart were instantly resolved.

"Your Majesty, what kind of formation is this?"

Zhao Yun opened his mouth to ask again, and Emperor Chu glanced at him sideways and said, "A long snake formation." ”

"The long snake array is running, like a giant python attacking, the attack is fierce, the whole formation is divided into the head, the tail of the formation, the gall of the formation, when the formation changes, the true and false are used together, the hidden killing machine, the danger of entering the formation is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will be buried in the formation."

"This formation is really so strong, the last general is willing to step forward and break the formation!"

Li Yuanba shouldered the double hammer, volunteered, patted the horse out of the ranks, and wanted to enter the long snake formation, Emperor Chu knew that in Li Yuanba's eyes, there was nothing that could not be solved with a hammer.

"Yuanba, don't worry, Cao Xiu invited the masters to set up this formation, do you really think you can block the Wuchu army?"

"This formation may be very powerful and prohibitive for others, but for me, it only takes a few minutes to break the formation."

Emperor Chu's domineering voice sounded, and Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and others looked sideways and asked, hoping that Emperor Chu would tell him how to break the formation.

"Zilong, Fengxian, Yuanba, the three of you look at this formation, if you kill into the formation, hit the head of the snake, and the snake's tail moves, you will be involved in it, and then you will be unable to do it, and the more you get entangled, the tighter and tighter you will be, and in the end you can only be buried in it.

"Hitting the snake's tail, the snake's head moves, opens its mouth and bites, it is just as powerful, and I dare not take it lightly."

"Hit the snake gall, the snake body rampage, head and tail look at each other, strangulation and entanglement, then tens of thousands of troops will surround you, tens of thousands of spears attack, it is impossible to easily dodge."

"So the best way to break the long snake formation is to limit the mobility of the two wings, that is, the cavalry on the two wings, so that they can't take care of each other. When the time comes, pull his head, clip his tail, and cut off his waist, and the three of you will understand. ”

"Understood!"

"Lead the two infantry to stop the movement of the cavalry on both flanks, so that they cannot exert their ability to move and be flexible, and then use the strong cavalry to launch a strong attack on the infantry in the snake belly, so that their formation is scattered and disorderly."

"Defeat the infantry phalanx in one fell swoop and cut the long snake formation into three pieces, so that the long snake formation will fight separately, and it will no longer be able to fight with the cooperation of the three parties, and the formation will break without attacking."

Zhao Yun said out loud that Emperor Chu would stay on Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, only to see Li Yuanba smile bitterly, and said embarrassedly: "It seems to understand whether you understand or not, but it doesn't matter, as long as the cavalry on both wings can't move, this emperor can rest assured." ”

"Your Majesty, the last general understands how to break through the formation in front of him, and let the last general enter the formation with the two generals."
