Chapter 42: A Thousand Snakes Emerge from the Hole
Meng Guan asked Zu Ti for advice on how to break the formation, and asked: "Zu Ti, what kind of formation is the one-word long snake life-seeking array, but I have only heard of the one-word long snake array, could it be that Qi Wannian is playing tricks." ”
"Qi Wannian dared to give us a war letter, which shows that he has a certain degree of certainty, I think their formation is by no means as simple as a long snake formation."
"So how do we fight it?"
"If this formation is evolved from the Long Snake Formation, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that it will be weird."
"Zu Ti, I don't think I can make any powerful formations in ten thousand years, let's first drill according to the formation of breaking the word long snake formation, and then if the enemy changes, we will change with it."
"That's the only way, I'll teach you how to crack the formation of the long snake formation first."
"I want to hear about it."
The two walked to the front of the Shaopan, and Zu Ti explained to Meng Guan while gesturing on it: "There are three parts: the head of the long snake formation, the tail of the formation, and the gall of the formation. The formation is changeable, and it is difficult to argue between truth and falsehood. As the name suggests, the long snake formation is deduced according to the habits of the snake, if we attack the front of the array, look, its back will roll up, outflank us, attack his tail, his front army will also move, pounce on us, the middle of the array is dead, move its body, the head and tail will not attack, so you must not attack his middle at the beginning! To crack the long snake formation, the best way is to pull its head, clip its tail, cut its waist, defeat the infantry phalanx in one fell swoop, and cut the long snake formation into three pieces. ”
Meng watched the deduction and understood the method of dealing with the Long Snake Formation, so he immediately went down to train the formation and prepare to break the formation tomorrow.
On the second day, Qi Wannian personally sat at the head of the city to supervise the battle, Hao Duyuan and the remaining two Qi brothers led the troops out of the city, and lined up in five miles, and Lafeng and Hao Duyuan were in the position of the Chinese army.
As soon as the appointed time came, the Jin army and horses also drove over, and there were dozens of flat vans with the army. ”
Hao Duyuan came out and said: "You are not small, you dare to break the formation!" ”
"Is this your one-word long snake life-seeking array, it looks nondescript and there is nothing new about it, our Jin army can disrupt your formation with one attack!"
"Hahahaha, I'll let you know later!"
Hao Duyuan returned to the formation and told Lafeng to show the snake formation first.
Lafeng took out the flower drum from his waist and knocked it rhythmically a few times, although the sound was not loud, but it was deafening, and someone in the Jin army wanted to cover his ears subconsciously!
Meng Guan didn't know what they were doing, and was just about to order to rush into battle, when suddenly countless snakes came from all sides, each of which was four or five feet long, with black flowers and white spots, spitting poisonous letters and swishing towards the Jin army, they advanced in an orderly manner with the sound of drums, where did the Jin army see this formation, the footsteps moved back, Meng Guan drew his sword and said: "The one who retreats is killed!" ”
A group of snakes rushed to the Jin army, these are the poisonous snakes of the north, and it is now a cold winter, it should be the season of hibernation, but it was called out by the wind, they bite people without hesitation, the Jin army suddenly made a mess, the one who was hit lay on the ground, and the one who was not hit slashed with a knife and gun, at this time Hao Duyuan and the wind laughed together, and Qi Wannian in the city laughed wildly.
Hao Duyuan took advantage of the chaos to order the chaotic army to attack, and suddenly the cavalry rushed to the Jin army, although the Jin army had a flat van, but the people in the car were also attacked by snakes, and they were also dodging and colliding randomly, there was no combat effectiveness at all, Meng Guan saw that the situation was not good, and ordered to retreat, sure enough, the army was defeated like a mountain, the Jin army was chaotic, the chaotic army rushed away, and it was not long before arriving at the camp.
The Jin army lost the scruples of the snake, and turned to fight back against the rebel army at the camp gate, Hao Duyuan was afraid of losing again, so he hurriedly took advantage of the victory and retreated, and asked Qi Wannian for credit.
The Jin army retreated into the camp, counted the men and horses, and lost 3,000 and 5,000 wounded, Meng Guan was very worried.
Meng Guan said to Zu Ti: "Zu Ti, the rebel army took the lead with snakes, our people broke a lot, and now there are still many wounded, if there is no effective way, they will die, what should we do?" ”
"The doctor in the barracks doesn't know how to detoxify snake venom, after tonight, the person bitten by the snake will die, fortunately it is winter, the snake venom has not been fully exerted, if it is placed in the past, the injured person will die in less than an hour, and what is even worse is that I will not be equipped with a poisonous snake antidote."
"What then?"
Zu Ti also paced anxiously around, and then a pawn came in and reported: "General Meng, there is a woman outside who said that she wants to find Zu Ti. ”
Meng Guan asked, "Woman? Who is looking for you? ”
Zu Ti wanted to know that the woman he was in the barracks must be Jin Ziyan, he knew that she would dispense the antidote, and said happily: "Now there is salvation, General Meng, let him in quickly, she is my friend Jin Ziyan, Lang Zhong of the Jishan Hall of Luoyang Medical Center, she will definitely dispense the antidote." ”
Meng Guan said: "Invite her in." ”
Not long after, the pawn led a woman into the military tent, she was Jin Ziyan.
When the two met, Zu Ti went up and held her hand and said, "Ziyan, why are you here?" ”
"Daddy knew that before you came to the army, he also wanted to learn from you to do something to quell the chaos, so he asked me to come to the barracks to help heal the wounded and do my part." She naturally wanted to call Jin Muchen her father in front of everyone, after all, her identity as the Earth Dragon Gate was hidden.
Meng saw that the two of them looked intimate, and knew that the relationship between the two was different, so he smiled and said, "Miss Jin wants to contribute to the country, which is admirable." ”
Zu Ti said anxiously: "Ziyan, now there is one thing I want you to help with, just now we fought against the chaotic army, but I didn't expect them to use three indiscriminate means, and a large number of snakes were recruited in the winter, we are naturally difficult to resist, no, there are many sergeants who have been bitten by snakes outside, but unfortunately no one will prepare an antidote, it's good that you come, you must have a way." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll go out to see what kind of snake it is, and then prescribe the right medicine, don't worry, no matter what snake venom, I can solve it, let's go out and have a look."
Zu Ti Mengguan followed Jin Ziyan to the wounded army, carefully looked at their wounds, and then said confidently: "I know, this is a poisonous snake flying on the grass in the north, I will prescribe a prescription and order someone to go to Chang'an to get medicine." ”
Meng Guan waited for Jin Ziyan to prescribe a prescription, and immediately sent someone to Chang'an to get the medicine and came back, and gave the medicine to the wounded army.
Meng Guan and the others returned to the tent, and Meng Guan asked: "Miss Jin is really good at medicine, and she is so good at medicine that she can eliminate poison, so she admires and admires her." ”
"The most important thing now is how to completely subdue the poisonous snake, the rebel army will definitely use this trick against us in the future, as long as we can find a way to restrain the poisonous snake, Ziyan, do you have a way?"
"Poisonous snakes, whether in the north or in the south, they have a common nemesis, they are a small animal, this animal has a characteristic, that is, they eat poisonous snakes, even if they are full, they will bite the poisonous snakes they see." Jin Ziyan said.
"Ah, what kind of animal is this!?" Meng Guan asked.
