Chapter 12 The Great Yan Array
According to the system, when Chen Ang was not in Wanling Mansion, the chief official was in charge of the governor's position. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Chen Yu rarely touched the authority of the lieutenant. Now that he is writing in the name of Du Wei, Xu Ruyu is making it cheaper to reform the system, and it can be said that he attaches great importance to it.
The battle clouds in the East China Sea are thick, and they are about to break out. When the war starts, there is no leisure to take care of the restructuring, and if Xu Ruyu and Xu Xing retreat immediately after the war, it will be too late to regret it. Even if the restructuring cannot be completed now, the Qinghe Scattered Star Array and the Dayan Array will always have a rough appearance, and it will always be of great benefit to Wanling if they ponder it after the war. If you can explore the mystery of the Qinghe Charging Formation Technique, you can definitely improve the combat power of the Wanling Army.
Sixteen years ago, Xu Xing wanted to reform the East China Sea system, but he couldn't. After more than ten years, there was no war in the East China Sea for a long time, and the families were happy not to mention it, although Chen Ang and Chen Pre felt that there were many drawbacks, especially in recent years, they had a bad relationship with the Qingzhou army, and they felt that the old sentry military system was not very flexible, but because Wanling had no people who were proficient in military formations, they had to accumulate valuable experience from actual combat and gradually restructure the army.
The military formation involves various factors such as terrain, weather, ordnance, armor, number, coordination, etc., and many factors have no examples on the Wanling battlefield. Therefore, Wanling's military reform is like walking on thin ice, and its combat effectiveness has not been greatly improved in the past few years. Just relying on the advantages of strong bows, crossbows, and water camps, and relying on the defense of Jiancheng, it can be comparable to the Qingzhou army.
Now that Yongyang has formed an alliance with Qingzhou and Baishi, the Qingzhou army will also be equipped with Yongyang hard-horned longbows and crossbows and other sharp weapons.
After learning that Ru Yu had learned the Great Yan Array and the Qinghe Scattered Star Array, and maybe even the Qinghe Charging Formation Technique, Chen Yu was like drowning and grabbing driftwood, and he didn't care that he had no actual combat experience, so he fully supported him in reforming the military system, and ordered Fang Su and the generals of Wanling to go to observe in order to gain something.
The former is used for infantry combat, and the latter is used for cavalry warfare, which is the essence of the tactical art of war that has been summarized and inherited by everyone for thousands of years. It only faded into disappearance in the last decades of the collapse of the old dynasty. It was not until Xu Xing's southern Fujian Ping bandits and Wu Chu invaded Yongning that the three major military thaumaturgy appeared one after another.
Although Chen Yu had only had a few contacts with Xu Ruyu after growing up Chengren, he also understood that he had the same attitude as his father to join the WTO and was unwilling to serve the clan family. If he has the power of his heart, then his identity as the nephew of the king of Youji County is more advantageous to him, and with his talent, he may not be established as the son of the king of Youji County.
Xu Ruyu was very surprised that Chen was going to the military camp in person, and he was even more puzzled when he saw Fang Su's first battalion of guards stationed outside the Yinhu camp, accompanied by more than ten generals. After Chen explained his intentions, he came to his senses, extended Chen and Fang into his sentry tent, and said: "My father was going to restructure the Wanling Army more than ten years ago, but for some reason he couldn't do it, so there is no need for the second uncle to urge, and Ru Yu will also pass on the Dayan Array to Wanling on behalf of his father." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a stack of grass propaganda on the desk, handed it to Chen Pre, and said: "Ru Yu memorized the mysteries of the Dayan Array last night, as well as his father's comments on it before his death, and I wanted to hand it over to Senior Brother Fang today, since the second uncle is here, there is the second uncle Lao to transfer it to the godfather on his behalf." ”
Chen pre-opened the grass xuan, and saw that the top layer of grass xuan ink was especially fresh and wet, and only then did he know that you had stopped writing and had not slept all night. After reading a few pages in a hurry, and adding more than 30 years of combat experience to corroborate, I only felt that every sentence was a pearl, and I couldn't help but be happy for a while, and my eyebrows fluttered and praised again and again: "Good, good, good." He handed the grass Xuan into Fang Su's hands and said, "You go to Yu to write a copy, add three feathers and send it to the eldest brother." Then he remembered what kind of command he had commanded, "Do this yourself, and do not do it to others." ”
Fang Su took the grass xuan, and was not in a hurry to leave, looking at Xu Ruyu.
Seeing that there was still a look of expectation on his face, Ru Yu thought about it in his heart, and then understood his intentions, and said: "I can't completely remember the Great Yan Number Array Technique, there may be a slight omission, and when it is really implemented, I will have to work with Second Uncle and Senior Brother Fang to deliberate it." It's just that the Qinghe Scattered Star Array Technique is actually a kind of Qinghe Rushing Array Technique, and his father-in-law made it clear before his death that you are not allowed to pass it on to others. ”
Wu Chu originally wanted to let him make contributions to his career, if he didn't want to fight the world, then he would pass it on to those who could benefit the world.
If Xu Ruyu made this matter clear, it would be tantamount to showing that Wanling was just a party in his mind, so he had to politely refuse. Seeing the look of loss in the eyes of Chen and Fang, Xu Ruyu couldn't bear to say: "In fact, the six forms of snowflakes in the Qinghe Scattered Star Formation are not secrets, yesterday I heard Senior Brother Fang say that Qingzhou Jingqi adopts the six-six military system, and I want to come to Qingzhou to know that the snowflakes are six out of the formation, but Yi Chongwu can't do it, and he uses the Qingzhou Xuanjia Elite Cavalry for frontal charges, and he can't give full play to its wonders." ”
After a pause, he said: "You don't need to be careful about Wanling, but it is limited to what your father-in-law said, and it is inconvenient to write a written document. If Second Uncle and Senior Brother Fang are free, I might as well tell you about this snowflake six out of the formation technique, I don't know if I can still remember it all. ”
Chen Yu and Fang Su didn't expect to get the Dayan Several Array and the Qinghe Rushing Formation Technique, but they just hoped that when they helped Xu Ruyu to reform the system, they could get some inspiration to facilitate the large-scale restructuring in the future. It's just that he first got the Great Yan Array Technique, and in addition to being surprised, because of the person's original surname, he also had a bit of extravagance for the Qinghe Scattered Star Array and the Qinghe Rushing Array Technique. Now after Xu Ru's foolish words, and I heard that I can get the Qinghe Scattered Star Array's Snowflake Six Shape Technique, how can there be any more shortcomings, and they are all overjoyed.
Chen Yu said: "With the current war situation, even if the six thousand elite cavalry go to Yiyang, the situation is still difficult to clear, it is better to defend Wanling to reform the military system, and after the results are fruitful, cooperate with the various families to take the initiative, it may be more helpful to solve the crisis in the East China Sea?" ”
Xu Ru knew that the reason why he thought so was because he stood on the position of the Wanling Chen clan. Of course, before he suggested sending troops to Yiyang, it was also based on the interests of the Chen family.
The reason why he wants to help the Tairu Xi family and even the current rival Yongyang Mei family is that he can't face the joint situation of the three families of Puji, Baishi, and Qingzhou that appeared on land in the East China Sea later with the strength of the Wanling family. If you leave aside the water camp, Wanling's combat strength is far inferior to the three weakest Baishi Army. Although Baishi has no battalion army, but its guards have been fighting endlessly for more than ten years, and the combat power is not under the Yuzha army, especially the cavalry, which has fought with the Qingzhou ghost cavalry led by Wu Chu for many years, although it has been defeated, but it has been hammered and trained, and it has also become a division of tigers and wolves, and its combat power is really higher than that of Wanling Jingcai.
Now, if the short-term combat power can be improved, there is naturally no need to risk sending Wanling to the dangerous place of Yiyang with only 6,000 elite horses. More importantly, after this incident, the strength of the Yongyang, Tairu, and Biling families was greatly damaged, and Wanling was strong, so it could dominate the East China Sea. However, the matter of the military system is very complicated, and if we do not fully master it, it will be difficult to greatly improve our combat effectiveness.
Xu Ruyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking: With the talent of the second uncle, he only knows that there is a clan, and he no longer knows that there is more world and Li Shu on it. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say anything on his face, and he knew that his godfather Chen Ang would also agree to this proposal here, so he said: "What the second uncle said is very true. ”
Fang Su was also skeptical about increasing his combat power in the short term, and just said, "This matter still has to be decided by Master." ”
Chen Ang said: "I will ask my eldest brother for instructions on this matter, if it is done, the eldest brother will return to Wanling to preside over the reform, and I will go to Tairu to lobby Xi Dongye to let his clan withdraw to Hotan and Pingcheng." Then he said to Fang Su: "But the military system of the two battalions here needs to be reformed immediately, and there is no need to delay for a moment, and there is no need to ask your master for instructions." In the end, his tone was already stern, showing that he was slightly dissatisfied with Fang Su's lack of clear support.
When Fang Su's voice arrived, he had to go out of the account to obey the order. Chen Yu grabbed him, and did not avoid Xu Ruyu's presence, and said: "I know that I am a little anxious for quick success, but at present, it is worth our best to make Wanling less dangerous." ”
Fang Su pondered for a moment, and could also understand Chen's painstaking efforts, knelt on one knee, and said, "Su'er understands that the second uncle is all for Wanling's sake. ”
Chen pre patted him on the shoulder, let him out, turned to Xu Ruyu and said: "Wanling has Ruyu's help this time, and the rise from the five counties of Hedong is not far away, and the opportunity was not grasped sixteen years ago, and it will not be missed again." Even if the eldest brother did not agree to this proposal, Chen Yu did not hesitate to ask the elders of the clan to preside over the matter, hoping that Ruyu could understand the second uncle's distress. ”
Xu Ruyu said lightly: "I'm afraid that you are only a shallow learner and disappoint the second uncle." ”
Chen Yu knew that Ru Yu had a grudge against him, and thought: Although Ru Yu is still young, his temper is the same as Zi Xing, and he is afraid that he will not be able to understand him in this life. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel confused for a while, and only after a while did I say, "Ruyu take a good rest, I'll go out first." ”
When Xu Ruyu saw him out of the account, his figure was lonely, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "Ru Yu is not to blame the second uncle, if the father-in-law is alive, he will definitely appreciate the second uncle's approach, but Ru Yu is conflicted in his heart and doesn't know how to deal with himself." ”
Chen Yu sighed, and finally left without saying anything.
At noon, Xinfeng urgently: Qingzhou's 40,000 elite soldiers stationed in the border towns (10,000 of them were Xuanjia elite cavalry) rushed to Xinfeng City.
Chen Yu received the urgent letter from Sanyu in the Yinhu camp, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart: "It's good to come half a day earlier." ”
Fang Su knew what he meant: if he had come half a year earlier, it would have been logical to cancel the proposal to aid Yiyang, and there would be no gap between him and Ru Yu.
Fang Su said comfortingly: "You fool will understand the second uncle's hard work." ”
Chen Yu shook his head lightly and said, "Ru Yu was deeply influenced by his father, and among them, Mustard Timo said that he was eliminated with great difficulty. ”
Fang Su looked stunned and said, "I don't have the dexterity of the second uncle in my mind, not in my heart. He said worriedly: "Yes, Ru Yu may not stand in Wanling's position to see things." ”
Uncle Shan, Zhang Zhongdao and the other generals were confused, but it was inconvenient to ask.
Chen Zhen perked up his expression and said to Zhang Zhongdao: "General Zhang, you quickly send someone to ask Liu Fuling and the generals above the battalion captain to come to the Yinhu camp to discuss matters. Then he said to Fang Su, "Go and see if you are awake, and if so, tell him to come to the camp at once to discuss." ”
Xu Ruyu rushed to the camp tent, Chen Pre handed over the urgent letter to him, he hurriedly read it, and was stunned, with an unexpected, but should be so look on his face.
Zhang Zhongdao was unhappy in his heart, this urgent letter had only been read by Chen Pre, Eldest Uncle Lin and Fang Su before Xu Ruyu, and Chen Pre had never revealed any news to other generals. Now one of the sentry lieutenants under his command saw the urgent letter before himself, although he knew that Xu Ruyu's identity was special, but the boss was not convinced, his head fell to the side, and he gasped for breath in his nose.
Chen Zhen took in everything and thought: I have to transfer him out of the Yinhu camp, so as not to hinder the important task of restructuring.
Xu Ruyu said: "Before Xu Bodang laid out, he would definitely have expected that Wanling might see through it and send troops to intervene in the situation on the front line of Tairu, so he laid out this trick to make the Wanling armies have no time to separate." I just didn't expect the Qingzhou Army to be so at his mercy. ”
Xu Ruyu carefully looked at the topographic map of Wanling spread out on the long case, thought for a moment, pointed to one of them, and said: "The Qingzhou army avoided Zedang and took Xinfeng, one is to avoid the Pingyi water camp above Zehu Lake, and the other is to capture Xinfeng, and after capturing Xinfeng, he and Baishi Xu Bodang will cooperate in attacking Biling. Xu Bodang expected that the combined forces of Wanling and Piling would not give up the Xinfeng Pass, putting the Biling family in danger. In this way, Wanling had no time to take care of Tairu, so he had to lay it out easily. ”
After a pause, seeing that Chen Yu showed a look of approval on his face, he continued: "I'm afraid that the 30,000 Qingzhou troops of Bayang have also been dispatched to cover the attack on Zedang City. ”
Zhang Zhongdao interjected and said, "Can you know? Qingzhou's troops in the border towns and Bayang are exhausted, why don't we divide our troops to cover Yixing and Bayang? The words were full of disdain.
Xu Ruyu didn't mind, and slowly explained: "I have more than 12,000 garrisons in Xinfeng, and Qingzhou needs to add all 40,000 troops to Xinfeng City to form a threat." I am stationed in Zedang with more than 15,000 people, and after threatening his flank, how can he not guard against it? Pointing to the map, he said: "Zedang City is in the northwest of Zehu, Xinfeng City is in the southwest of Zehu, the two cities are two hundred and ten miles apart, and there are more than ten Shijiawu forts in between. Although I Wanling has no regular army in the dock forts, but the civil defense of the family can not be ignored, although I do not know the real number, the soldiers of the family should be about 4,000. ”
Chen Zhen nodded when he heard this: "There are more than 2,600 people registered, and the exact number is about 4,000. ”
Xu Ruyu said: "The most important point is that the defenders of Wanling City and Qichuan City can rely on the Pingyi Water Camp to quickly land from the west side of Zehu Lake and attack behind enemy lines, how can Qingzhou not guard against this." If I Wanling has no time to take care of the front-line battle situation in Tairu, the Qingzhou army will not be able to attack Xinfeng, and if I want to arrange it calmly, the 70,000 army is still a little insufficient. ”
Zhang Zhongdao said: "Xu Bodang's plot against Yongyang is just your guess. The look was extremely disdainful.
Chen Yu was furious when he heard this, and said on the side: "If you don't make a bet with General Xu, if Qingzhou really has more than 30,000 troops in the Zedang area, you don't have to do it, the captain of the Yinhu Battalion." ”
Chen Pre-temporarily took the position of lieutenant and could restrain the generals of Wanling. Zhang Zhongdao was not angry in his heart and said, "What if he loses? ”
Chen Zhen's eyes lit up, and he scolded: "What are you going to do? ”
Zhang Zhongdao was dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly understood that he had provoked the No. 2 person in Wanling, and he couldn't speak for a long time. His brother Zhang Jidao and Liu Zhaoyu rushed to the camp at this time, and saw that the camp tent was full of fire, and he didn't know why, so he asked the generals on the side. After listening to it, I read the urgent letter from Xinfeng and felt bad: the second brother will not be able to guarantee his job.
Liu Zhaoyu thought to himself: When did Zhang Zhongdao become so muddy? Now that the Yongyang army is afraid that it has captured Anping and approached Tairu, Xu Bodang's intention to plot Yongyang is obvious. It is only now that I am sure that Xu Bodang has other intentions, what kind of teacher does this young man come from, and he can see through the overall situation from Yongyang's trust? Fortunately, with his help, Wanling has a little more life. It's just that I don't understand why Chen Yu squeezed Zhang Zhongdao away from Yinhu Camp.
He has been friends with Chen Pre for more than ten years, so he naturally knows that Chen Pre will not be angry at Zhang Zhongdao for a few words of disrespect, but he is afraid that there is another reason. Liu Zhaoyu is the head of the Wanling bureaucracy, and he is not allowed to interfere in military affairs according to the system, but Chen Ang is familiar with military affairs, and he is always consulted whenever he is invited to attend by a military council. Chen Yu is now acting as the lieutenant, and the government guard is not allowed to question his military orders, so Liu Zhaoyu can only keep his doubts in his heart in front of everyone.
At this time, the camp gate officer presented the three feathers urgent letter delivered by Shang Zedang. After Chen saw it, he directly handed it over to Zhang Zhongdao. Zhang Zhongdao took a look, and his face was suddenly like ashes, and he was stunned.
When all the generals saw this situation, they all thought: There is indeed a Qingzhou army in the direction of Zedang.
Chen Yu snorted lightly, ignored Zhang Zhongdao, looked at the generals and announced the order: "Remove Zhang Zhongdao from the post of captain of the Huya School of the Huying of the Yinyin Battalion, and lead the post of the captain of the Huya School of the Jiazi Battalion." Everyone thought: Zhang Zhongdao was really demoted by half a level, and it seems that the Wen Chang Chen also has a time to exert his power. With the same military rank, the guard army is half a level lower than the battalion army.
Chen Yu also said: "Remove Zhang Jidao from the post of captain of the Huya School of the Jiazi Battalion, the post of the commander of the Wanling Dongcheng, and the post of the captain of the Huya School of the Huya Battalion of the Lingyin Battalion. Everyone was shocked: Chen has always been generous to others, and now Zhang Zhongdao has committed him, why did he even sit on Zhang Jidao and demote him by half a level.
Zhang Jidao was also puzzled in his heart, but he was intimidated by Chen Yu's majesty at this time, and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to look at Liu Zhaoyu secretly, and saw that he was also puzzled, so he had to accept the order in a muffled voice.
Chen Yu said again: "Cao Hu, the captain of the Dingchou Battalion, led the command of Wanling Dongcheng, and immediately led the Jiazi Battalion and the Dingchou Battalion guards to Zehu Dongyu Island to garrison, waiting for the commander to dispatch. The rest of the ministries remain unchanged and scrupulously abide by their duties. ”
