Chapter 32 There is the Yellow River in front and there are pursuers in the back

Tian Xing returned to the inn and instructed everyone to pack their luggage and leave this Luzhou City today. He said hesitantly, the King Kong horse Li Sangongzi took it to domestication, and when we came back, we will take it away.

The group quietly went out of the city before the city gate was closed, and after making peace with the oranges, they rushed to Heyang by moonlight, and then crossed south to Luoyang.

On the way, Tian Xing and everyone discussed the formation of the Zhaoyi Infantry Army, and they all thought that Li Baozhen's turtle shrinking formation was not easy to crack, and if Wei Bo's Tianxiong Army really fought with the Zhaoyi Army, it would not be able to bargain at all. Even if the tooth army goes into battle, it is not completely certain.

Tian Xing is proficient in the art of war formation, and has in-depth research on the sharp arrow formation and the fish scale formation commonly used in the world. The formation commonly used by the Tang army in field battles was the sharp arrow formation, with the brave and fearless infantry holding the Mo sword in the front row, followed by the infantry and cavalry assaults, and the crossbowmen in the rear column firing on their backs until the opponent was completely defeated. The attack power of this Tang Jun Mo knife is extremely terrifying, and it "enters like a wall" when arrayed, and its power does not decrease during hand-to-hand combat. On the cavalry side, it is a combination of light and heavy cavalry, and generally uses a horse lance and a horizontal sword. Tian Xing conceived that in the all-round tooth army he was about to create, the Mo Dao was one of the necessary weapons. In this forward formation, the general is located in the middle and rear of the formation, the main forces are gathered in the center, and the forward is open in the shape of an arrow, which belongs to the offensive formation. The "arrows" of the strikers were open to resist pressure from the enemy's flanks, but they were slightly less offensive, and the weak point of the formation remained on the tail flank. The fish scale formation commonly used by the army of the feudal town is a bit similar to this sharp arrow formation, which is also the general is located in the middle of the formation, and the main forces are assembled in the center, but it is divided into a number of small phalanxes in the shape of fish scales, which is arranged according to echelons, and the front end is slightly convex, which also belongs to the offensive formation. Although they are all formations that break through in the center, the defensive performance of the Fish Scale Formation is not as good as that of the Sharp Arrow Formation.

Looking at these three formations, the crossbow arrows and large shields of the turtle shrinkage array, the Mo knife and light and heavy cavalry of the sharp arrow array, and the small phalanx and echelon configuration of the fish scale array are its core. If the essence of these three formations is refined and fused, can a new and more powerful formation be formed? Except for Yiwu, others don't know anything about this formation and the art of war, and there is nowhere to learn if they don't study. Yiwu thought for a moment and thought that it was theoretically possible. Almighty tooth army, one man and two horses, one fast horse, one heavy horse, fast horse pursuit, heavy horse charge, dismount Timo sword holding a big shield, shoulder longbow and crossbow; The commander unifies the small array, the centurion unifies the middle array, the thousand-commander unifies the large array, the small array takes care of itself, the crossbow and shield are combined, and the large array is concentrated and broken through. The only problem is that a tooth army needs to carry too much weapons and equipment, and it takes a lot of physical strength and energy to control two horses, and ordinary people are afraid that they cannot bear it. Tian Xing said happily, I also think it is feasible when you say this, as for whether ordinary people can bear it, it doesn't matter, our tooth army doesn't want ordinary people.

Others heard Yiwu say, fast horses, heavy horses, Mo knives, big shields, longbows, crossbows, and what else to get on and off the horse, divide the formation and attack together, etc., you need a person to keep changing to finish the CD and feel impossible, unless there are three heads and six arms. Seeing Tian Xing's confident appearance, it is not easy to question. In the gap between the discussions, several horses came galloping behind them, especially harsh in the silence of the night. Tong'an bought two more carriages and pulled them by mules, in which sat the injured mosquitoes, Zhu Xiyi and others, and the speed of travel was far less fast than that of riding horses. When Tong An heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, he immediately became alert, he felt that this was a chasing soldier sent by Li Mian, and he was ready to take everyone to hide. Tian Xing didn't think so, if Li Mian came to pursue, he wouldn't just send these few horsemen, it was obvious that the three or five horsemen couldn't help them. Immediately, they grabbed the reins, set up a defensive posture, extinguished the lanterns, and waited for the cavalry to approach.

The sound of horses' hooves, which was getting closer and closer, slowed down, and finally paced slowly. Suddenly, someone spoke: "Brother Zhen, is that you?" I'm Li Youqing. ”

When he heard the voice, he knew that it was Li Youqing, lit the lantern, walked out quickly, and said, "Brother Li, how many times have I told you, I don't have a surname, my surname is Zhen." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about this urgency. By the way, is Tian Gongzi here? I have something to tell. Li Youqing said in a hurry, it seems that there is really something urgent.

Tian Xing took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and asked politely, "What does Gongzi Li have to tell me?" Tian listened attentively. ”

"Tian Gongzi, don't enter Heyang City, my eldest brother has ordered the Heyang defenders to intercept and kill you, you bypass Heyang City, cross the Yellow River, leave quickly, the heralds are on the way, in another hour, I'm afraid they will receive orders to start acting." Li Youqing was out of breath, since he heard the news, he kept coming, and he didn't dare to delay stopping to drink saliva on the way, for fear that everyone's lives would be saved if he was late.

"Thank you for telling me, great kindness, and I will repay you in the future." Tian Xing hugged his fists and said goodbye, leading the surprised people to quickly run south, at this time there were still two hours before dawn, and it should be too late. Although it was expected that this section of the road would not be peaceful, I originally thought that he Li Mu would embarrass them at most, so as to find some lost face, but I didn't expect him to directly poison him, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble, and he really has the demeanor of a general. If it were him, he wouldn't want to watch such a powerful opponent thrive, and he would want to destroy it quickly.

Before he had traveled two miles, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from behind him again, and there were still a few horses, Tian Xing and the others did not dare to stop, and the trees and Tong'an stopped and broke off. I saw that it was still Li Youqing, Li Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists slightly, and gasped and said: "I just forgot to tell Brother Zhen, after I tamed this King Kong horse, I will personally send it to Wei Bo for you." ”

"Why are you still Brother Zhen, my surname is Zhen Xuan!" The tree pouted, pretending to be annoyed, but the corners of his eyes were filled with smiles.

"Then there is Lao Li Gongzi, let's see you in Weizhou City, and thank Li Gongzi at that time!" Tong Anxing hugged his fists and thanked him, and after speaking, he turned the mule and went to chase after everyone. Zhen Shushu and Li Youqing exchanged a few words briefly, and they also followed. Everyone's impression of this Li Youqing instantly improved a lot, and even the mosquito praised this kid for being affectionate and righteous, not like his ruthless and ruthless eldest brother.

The group hurried and finally arrived at the Yellow River before dawn. The Yellow River was so rough that it was impossible to swim through, and after searching for several miles along the shore, I couldn't find a single ferry, and I didn't even see the shadow of a fishing boat. I had no choice but to try my luck in a village not far from the shore, and I couldn't sit still.
