Chapter 104: Countermeasures
Back in Youzhou, Yu Wenxuan handed Wei Chuan over to Zhang Shaohua, asked the military doctor to go over to treat Wei Chuan's arm, and he silently returned to the camp.
"Haoxuan." Tian Shaotu lifted the tent, walked in and sat beside Yu Wenxuan, and reached out to put his arm around his shoulder, "How are you, I heard that you are also injured?" ”
"And he died before me." Yu Wenxuan said with a dull gaze, his armor had already taken off, and the blood on his chest could be faintly seen.
"After several years in the army, what kind of scene have we not seen over the years, what happened to you today?" Tian Shaotu asked puzzled, he had never seen Yu Wenxuan so depressed as he was today.
"It's different." Yu Wenxuan blurted out, and then said eloquently, "I lost the battle with Shi Guangtong today. ”
"That's it?" Tian Shaotu asked again.
"Not only that, Jiang Xing died for me." Yu Wenxuan let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "He was in front of me at the time, if it weren't for covering me, he wouldn't have died under Shi Guangtong's Fang Tian Painting Halberd." ”
He has never tasted defeat, and today he lost to Shi Guangtong, which is not a big blow to Yu Wenxuan. Yu Wenxuan never makes excuses, in his opinion, losing is losing, there is no reason.
Yu Wenxuan boasted that he was invincible in the world, and he was used to being proud since he was a child, but he didn't want to accept failure, but he couldn't accept Jiang Xing's death in order to protect him. In the past, on the battlefield, he was more often leading the troops to charge, and even if he sometimes needed to retreat, he often played the role of leaving behind. So if the halberd had been stabbed on him during the day, he might not have been so sad by now.
Yu Wenxuan is so conceited, he relies on his high skills, and he has always been used to protecting others. But when something like this happened today, he felt so cowardly.
"I shouldn't have promised Shi Guangtong to break into his Nine Army Formation that day, he was clearly provoking me, but I just hit the trick, I lost 10,000 troops in this battle, and it was 10,000 Black Feather Army." Yu Wenxuan continued, his tone beginning to become a little choked.
Tian Shaotu patted Yu Wenxuan on the shoulder, "It is precisely because of this that you should cheer up even more, and we will work together to drive the Bohai pirates out of the territory of the Great Zhou and give an explanation to the dead brothers." ”
"I only want to kill Shi Guangtong now." Yu Wenxuan gritted his teeth and said word by word, with strong killing intent.
"There will be this opportunity." Tian Shao said. Yu Wenxuan's mood he felt very empathetic, the original 100,000 Black Feather army is now added up to the north, south and central roads, but it is not even 70,000 when it is full, this battle, the loss is really too great.
"Young apprentice, let me be alone." Yu Wenxuan said.
"Okay." Tian Shaotu patted Yu Wenxuan's shoulder again to show comfort, and then left.
Yu Wenxuan led the Black Feather Army to break into the Ninth Army Formation and the defeat was quickly reported back to the capital, and Yu Wenduan immediately convened the ministers to discuss the method of breaking the formation, but more than ten days passed, but there was no progress. Similarly, the generals of the Black Feather Army in Youzhou City also deduced together on the sand table, but they couldn't come up with any countermeasures.
Until this day, a letter was received in Youzhou City, which contained a few words, but it revealed the way to break the formation.
"Who came from the letter?" Yu Wenxuan asked the soldier who sent the letter in.
"Back to the prince, it's a little novice, and he left after delivering the letter." The soldier said.
"Got it, let's go down first." Tian Shao said, and then asked Yu Wenxuan again, "What does the letter say?" ”
Yu Wenxuan handed the letter to Tian Shaotu and explained to the generals in the tent, "The flaw in the Nine Army Formations of the Bohai Navy lies in the three formations of Long Fei, Tiger Wing, and Snake Pan. Under the dragon flying array, there is no Yellow River Jiuqu water; On the tiger wing array, there are two tiger-eye golden gongs and two tiger-eared yellow flags; In the snake array, there is a lack of pearls, sun, moon and soap flags. If these places are dispatched in accordance with the method in the letter, they will be broken like the wind sweeping away the clouds. ”
"I think it's because Shi Guangtong got an incomplete array diagram, so he had to draw a scoop according to the gourd, but unfortunately it is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and the nine army formations he put out are not a complete restoration of Kong Ming's eight formations, and this master of the letter happened to see the flaws." Zhang Shaohua analyzed, "In this way, if we break the formation according to the law, we will definitely be able to win." It's just that...... I don't know what the identity of this master is. ”
"If it really tells us the way to break the formation, eighty percent of them are friends and not enemies." Tian Shaotu said, "But I'm also thinking that the Dragon Flying Array is in the west, which corresponds to the Shock Gate, and the Tiger Wing Array is in the Eastern Earthquake Palace, which corresponds to the Injury Gate." Both of these are fierce doors, in case Shi Guangtong sent someone to deliberately lead us into the battle, once we enter the battle, it will be a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime. ”
"Yes, the young man has a point. We don't know the identity of the person who sent the letter, and it is indeed inappropriate to rush the army. Zhang Shaohua nodded and agreed with Tian Shaotu's statement.
"But what if it's ......" Yu Wenxuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What if we miscalculated the formation diagram, gossip, and eight gates from the beginning?" ”
"Tell me about it." Zhang Shaohua thought for a while.
"The characteristics of the eight formations are that the large array sets the small array, and there are eight doors in the large array, and there are also eight doors in the small array, so which array is actually the same. I remember when I saw the fragment of the Eight Arrays at the master's place, it was written: The Dragon Flying Array is on the left, and the five elements belong to water. Of the eight gates, only Hugh Gate is water. The tiger wing array is on the right, and the five elements belong to fire, which should be the Jingmen. As for the snake pan array, it is wood, or it is a wounded door or a Du door. Yu Wenxuan said, "According to this inference, what we thought before was completely wrong. The Eight Array Diagram is not a Bagua Array, and we were too entangled in the hexagram position before, but this is not the case. So I think that since these three formations have flaws, we might as well try to break through these three formations, break these three formations, and simply take the Chinese army, maybe there is really hope to win. ”
"Okay, in that case, then we'll go back tomorrow!" After listening to what Yu Wenxuan said, Tian Shaotu suddenly understood, so he immediately agreed to go to break the formation.
"Tomorrow, I will attack the Dragon Flying Formation, Shaohua will go to the Tiger Wing Formation, and Lin Yu will attack the Snake Pan Formation. Again, if you can't do anything, find a way to retreat, be careful. Yu Wenxuan ordered.
The generals were ordered to leave the tent one after another and go to prepare. Leaving Yu Wenxuan and the other three still in the tent.
"How's your injury?" Zhang Shaohua pointed to Yu Wenxuan's chest and asked.
"It's okay, it's early." Yu Wenxuan smiled, he clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath, "Tomorrow, if I succeed in breaking the formation tomorrow, I must go and kill Shi Guangtong." ”
"Haoxuan." Tian Shaotu shouted worriedly, "You don't have to be too persistent, I heard you and Shaohua talk about the process of your battle with Shi Guangtong, in fact, in my opinion, if you talk about martial arts alone, he may not necessarily win you, but your personality is sometimes too impatient." ”
"Yes, I also think that it is the name of the number one in the world that binds you, Shi Guangtong is just a nameless person in a small country, if it weren't for this war with the Bohai Kingdom, who in the whole world would know him. And you, you are the god of war of the Great Zhou, what are you afraid of? Zhang Shaohua said.
