Chapter XIII Military System
Chen Ang personally sat in Xinfeng, and there were 2,000 elite horsemen from the Wuma Battalion rushed from Zedang to be stationed there, so although Xinfeng was surrounded by the Qingzhou army, the situation was not very critical.
Dongyu Island, located in the western half of Zehu Lake, is the center point of the two cities of Xinfeng and Zedang on the topographic map, and Chen pre-arranged two battalions of guards on it, one is to respond to the two cities, and the other is to peep into the gap between the two cities of the Qingzhou Army, so that he has to divide his troops to assist in the defense between the two cities.
The military meetings were carried out briefly, and almost all of them were Chen pre-issued commanders to adjust the defense between the cities, docks, and villages. When the meeting is over, let the generals disperse on their own.
Liu Zhaoyu asked him to be invited from the city in a hurry, and the meeting was hurried, and there was no sign of anything to discuss. There was no explanation for the disposition of the Zhang Zhongdao brothers, and the generals were ordered to come to observe in the early morning, saying that it was a foot riding reform, and they did not mention it at all. Now I'll save it for the end, but it's the most boring one. Liu Zhaoyu thought about it like this, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
Liu Zhaoyu was about to walk out of the camp, when he heard Chen Pre laughing in the back, he looked back in surprise, and saw that Chen Pre had a narrow look on his face, not angry but happy, knowing that Chen Pre changed his normal behavior and played tricks on himself, he must have encountered a good thing that was difficult to control, so he said: "If there is any good thing, come quickly." ”
Chen Yu said to Fang Su: "You go and intercept Ji Dao back." After that, he pointed at Liu Zhaoyu and laughed again, and said: "Xiu Ming is also angry, come, look at this." "Handed over the grass propaganda written by Ru Yu overnight to Liu Zhaoyu.
Liu Zhaoyu took the grass xuan suspiciously and looked at it.
I flipped through a few pages, hurried to the end, and then to the middle, and the look of surprise on my face grew. Looking at it from the beginning again, he read through the grass xuan in his hand, the surprise alternated, the short mustache trembled, and he grabbed Chen Pre's arm excitedly and asked, "Good man, where did this Great Derivation Array come from?" No, the ink is fresh, and it seems that it has just been written. After that, he looked at Xu Ruyu who was smiling suspiciously, and exclaimed: "Are you more vulgar?" ”
Xu Ruyu turned over and knelt down: "Ruyu has seen Uncle Liu." ”
Chen Yu smiled beside him: "I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you, an old fox. Then he said that you were unwilling to reveal your true identity.
Liu Zhaoyu burst into tears and said: "I know and intersect with Zixing, how can I not understand his peaceful surname." Thou fool, thou shalt not hide it from me? After speaking, he looked at Chen Yu and said, "Ziang hides it from me, and you hide it from me." When I first saw Ru Yu, I thought it was Zi Xingsheng standing in front of me, but when I saw that you two brothers didn't recognize me, I should only meet people who looked similar, if I didn't know the Great Yan Number Array Technique, would you still hide it from me for a long time? ”
Xu Ruyu was busy accompanying the ceremony and said: "It was Ruyu who asked the godfather and second uncle to hide it from everyone, and I only blame Ruyu for this." ”
Chen Yu didn't think it was wrong, let him complain, and said: "The old people of Wanling have a lot of friendship with Xu Xing, who treats you as foolish as your nephew?" Whoever says and who doesn't say it is unfair, and if you say it, you will not be able to hide your foolish identity. At that point, you will be forced to take revenge. Ru Yu completely inherited Zixing's surname, didn't he hurt him at that time? ”
Liu Zhaoyu's excitement gradually calmed down, and said: "Yes, too." It's me who is too excited. ”
Chen Yu said: "Those who know Ruyu's identity, Wanling only has a few people, including the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Fang Su, and even the eldest uncle doesn't know. ”
Liu Zhaoyu said a few words to Ru Yu, Fang remembered the important task of today, and asked Chen Pre: "Does Zi Pre want to pass on the formation technique to Ji Dao?" ”
Chen pre-said: "In this generation of the clan, Fang Su, Ji Dao, and Wen Chang are the most outstanding, although Ji Dao and his brother are side disciples, they are also trained by the eldest uncle and the old man, and the eldest brother has long intended to personally include his brother in the clan register. Before the eldest brother went to Xinfeng this time, he deliberately explained that he would give him a heavy responsibility and temper it. ”
The family often envelops high-quality materials in the form of giving them nationality.
At this time, Fang Su led Zhang Jidao into the account.
Liu Zhaoyu handed the grass back to Chen Yu, and then Chen Yu handed it to Ji Dao.
Chen Yu said: "Du Wei asked me to hand it over to you." ”
Zhang Jidao took the grass Xuan, and when he finished reading it, the melancholy brought by the previous relegation was empty, he knew that from now on he would become a core member of Wanling Mansion, and knelt down to the southwest in a excited mood, Zhuang Mu said: "Ji Dao swore to serve the captain all his life, and did not hesitate to shed the last drop of blood for the Chen family." ”
Chen pat him on the shoulder, helped him up, and said, "There's no need to say it so seriously. Wait for the eldest brother to come back and personally enter you into the clan register, if you want to keep the surname Zhang. ”
Zhang Jidao was very excited in his heart, the clan master personally entered the clan register, in order to include him in the lineage, and it was a great honor to retain the surname, indicating that he had the right to separate the Chen clan and form a family name on his own. I choked up for a while and couldn't help myself, and asked vaguely: "Ji Dao looked at his hands roughly, and only felt that the words were pearls and jades, inspiring people to think about nothing, and even the Tao, it was a soldier's not legendary technique." It's just that this formation technique seems to be a pawn formation technique, and I am in the Yinhu Battalion, what can I do for it? ”
Xu Ru couldn't help but praise it when he saw it: his mood is agitated, but his mind is as clear as ever, and he is a rare talent.
Chen Pre and Liu Zhaoyu commended each other. Chen Yu pointed to Xu Ruyu and said: "Ruyu has followed Wu Chu to learn part of the Qinghe Rushing Formation Technique, he will preside over the reform of the Wanling infantry cavalry system, you and Fang Su will cooperate with him, but you and Fang Su are the main ones in the Ming Dynasty, and you must not leak this matter." ”
Chen Ang accepted Xu Ruyu as his righteous son because of the merit of delivering the letter, and Zhang Jidao faintly felt that he was not so simple. Although the credit for sending the letter is huge, it can be awarded to the money and silk house, and the military merit is awarded, why should it be accepted as a righteous son, so that it has the qualification of the Chen family to inherit the throne?
Now I heard Chen Yu say that he could partially clear the river and charge the formation, but he was still surprised, and thought: The grass xuan ink in my hand is bright, and it won't take too long to write, I'm afraid he also wrote it. I only think that he is a mysterious and abnormal person, and I am afraid that it involves the great secret of the clan master, so naturally it is not something that I can explore. So he took the question deep into his heart, bowed to Xu Ruyu, and said, "I hope Brother Xu will mention more in the future." ”
Xu Ruyu hurriedly replied: "Brother Zhang, let's call me Ru Yu, I can't mention it, when it comes to knowledge, Ru Yu is far inferior to Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Fang." ”
Liu Zhaoyu couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Xu Ruyu was humble and cautious in dealing with people and things, and that Xu Xing was the same as back then. Chen Yu understood what he was thinking, stroked his shoulder, and said, "Come to my house today to drink a pot of autumn dew." Liu Zhongyu inhaled and exhaled a long breath, nodded and said, "Invite the eldest uncle." I thought: I just can't tell it explicitly, you are foolish and more vulgar as a child back then.
Chen Yu turned to Fang Su and said, "Fang Su, from now on, the battalion of foot soldiers you led will return to the Yuda Military Town, and the name of the battalion will be determined by the eldest brother." He said to Ji Dao and Fang Su at the same time: "The four thousand soldiers in the two battalions you lead are really the hope of Wanling, you have the right to select sentinels, soldiers and related talents from each battalion to replace the existing mediocre people, if you can, Fang Su you can expand the infantry battalion to 4,000 people, and Ji Dao can expand the Yinhu battalion to 3,000 people." ”
Zhang Jidao knew that if the infantry reached 4,000, he needed to set up a command, and at this time, Chen Yu undoubtedly gave Fang Su the authority to control the system, and only allowed himself to expand the camp to 3,000, but he didn't understand it very well.
Liu Zhaoyu asked out loud: "Does Ru Yu think that it is appropriate for the cavalry to be a battalion of 1,500 people?" ”
Xu Ruyu responded: "That's right. So he came out one by one of the plans for the cavalry military system that had been gradually implemented in the near future, and explained in detail to the four people that the shape of the Qinghe Scattered Star Array was one snowflake and six outs.
The four of them have all gained from the use of soldiers, and with a little allocation, they can draw inferences from one case and catch a glimpse of the leopard. Because of their rich practical experience, they can understand the magic of the Qinghe Scattered Star Array better than Xu Ruyu, and after Xu Ruyu finished introducing it, they put forward their own opinions, refuted each other, and sealed each other.
When the lamp was in hand, everyone lit the candles and torches, but no one thought about eating.
Jingwei, who was guarding outside the tent far away, saw the figures in the camp shaking endlessly, and the fierce quarrel was not faintly heard, and he was very puzzled in his heart, but Chen Pre strictly forbade others to approach the tent within fifty steps, and the violators would be killed.
It was not until the east was white that the quarrel in the tent subsided slightly. Chen Yu took the thick stack of discussion drafts recorded by Xu Ruyu, and couldn't help but feel a little tired, and then he realized that he had been discussing for nearly eight hours. I don't know who thundered in his belly, causing everyone to laugh.
Chen Pre handed the manuscript into Fang Su's hands and said, "You write a copy and send it to Xinfeng City urgently." After speaking, he sighed and said with emotion: "I'm afraid no one would have thought that this crumpled stack of toys is a peerless treasure." In time, my Wanling Jing Ride will definitely be stronger than half of the Lazi Qingzhou Ghost Ride. ”
Xu Ruyu knew that what he said could not be more correct. When Wu Chu built the ghost ride in Qingzhou, he was afraid that the Yi family would backlash, and there were many flaws left in the establishment, such as the use of Changge, and Wanling's acquisition was the real snowflake six out of the formation technique.
After he introduced the essence of the snowflake six-out formation, it was Chen Pre, Liu Zhaoyu, Fang Su, and Zhang Jidao who repeatedly deduced a more detailed and complete training and restructuring plan than Xu Ruyu's set up, and there were many improvements to the snowflake six-out formation itself. For example, the Qingzhou ghost cavalry with a short bow is subject to the Yongyang longbowmen, although this point can be made up for by Xu Ruyu with other formations of the Qinghe Scattered Star Array, but it is still changed to a one-armed crossbow that can be used as a crossbow, so that the requirements for the rider can be lowered, but now there are very few one-armed strong crossbows in the Wanling armory. Xu Ruyu absorbed everyone's actual combat experience while recording, and felt that he had gained a lot in one night.
A month later, Xu Ruyu personally led him to initially restructure the sentry cavalry, and Zhang Zhongdao had five sentry guards on foot on the gentle slope south of the city to practice fighting.
More than 100 fine horsemen, all of them are leather armor, only on the chest, back blades and other key points decorated with steel plates, the left side of the war horse hangs a six-foot thick back thin-bladed long knife, a round small rattan shield, the right side hangs a single-armed five-shot strong crossbow, everyone wears a two-foot short sword around the waist.
Xu Ruyu waved his hand to signal everyone to change into wooden knives, raised the flag and rushed forward, but he quickly retracted his momentum two hundred steps before the foot soldier and shifted to the left. Zhang Zhongdao's formation changed and moved.
Zhang Jidao looked at it and gritted his teeth and scolded: "Round formation, stupid." ”
Fang Su on the side said with a smile: "He resisted the enemy five times as much, but he took a defensive position, how could he have the face to mix in Wanling in the future." ”
Chen Yu comforted softly: "There is no need to be so nervous, Zhongdao has always been brave and strategic, and it would be a good thing if he could learn a lesson." ”
While speaking, Zhang Zhongdao's infantry phalanx was led by Xu Ruyu to a steep hill, and the march of the left side was blocked, and the soldiers gradually crowded here. Xu Ruyu led the cavalry to rush up the hills, and Orr counterattacked the left flank of the infantry phalanx. Zhang Zhongdao hurriedly withdrew the second and third columns of longbowmen from the phalanx to the left flank, but the left side was even more crowded, and the formation completely collapsed.
Zhang Jidao closed his eyes a little unbearably, but he heard an exclamation on his side, and when he opened his eyes, Xu Ruyu led more than 100 elite horsemen did not use a strong crossbow to enter the chaotic left wing, and took advantage of the chaos on the left wing of the infantry phalanx, and wedged into the infantry phalanx behind the back, knowing that he was going to really launch the power of the snowflake six out formation now, he couldn't help but open his eyes and didn't dare to blink slightly. Chen Yu, Liu Zhaoyu and others are also thinking like this. I all thought: It's just that the simple detour technique makes the guards scattered, what will the real snowflake six formation look like.
On the side, Xiao Zhongju asked puzzledly: "Obviously, he can be judged to win the drill by attacking from the left wing with a strong crossbow, why do you have to cut from the back and abdomen, could it be that he is really confident that his combat power is strong enough to hit five with one blow?" ”
Xiao Yuru already knew the details of the military system, and said on the side: "Xiao Valve will know just by waiting? ”
Cui'er shouted nervously on the side: "If you win, don't have any accidents." ”
Xiao Yuru held his hand lightly and said: "If you have an accident, you can also find the shortcomings early." He took her head and put it in his arms, and looked at the two armies under the stage.
More than 100 elite horsemen led by Xu Ruyu completely scattered into the infantry phalanx. More than 100 cavalry miraculously scattered but not chaotic, all within a hundred paces of the sprint to split the foot. This hundred-step place only allows more than two sergeants to fight in it. Zhang Zhongdao saw that Xu Ruyu did not attack his own position with all his strength, thinking that there was only a chance left, and organized the sergeants to counterattack the cavalry formation. The cavalry did not resist the formation with all its might, as he had envisioned, but instead absorbed the infantry. By the time he found out what was wrong, the foot soldiers had lost more than a sentry of troops.
Xiao Zhongju stood on the high platform, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and asked Liu Zhaoyu: "What kind of formation technique is this, at first glance, the cavalry is scattered and disorganized, but it is strictly limited to interspersed within a hundred steps, although it is said to enter five times the enemy formation, it is really only necessary to face twice the enemy every moment." What's even more strange is that although the cavalry and the foot soldiers are mixed with each other, the cavalry is faintly orderly, it should be a combination of six horsemen, in every detail, it is scattered with a whole blow, and six enemies are one, so in a moment, General Zhongdao was eaten by this ghost array one or two hundred people without noticing. ”
When the eldest uncle on the side listened to the "ghost array", his heart sank, and then he shouted: "By the way, this is the Qingzhou ghost ride?" ”
Cui'er said: "Uncle and grandfather must have not woken up from the wine last night, obviously it is a little foolish brother, where is the ghost riding in Qingzhou?" ”
Chen Yu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to the eldest uncle: "You don't say anything first, and I'll explain to you afterwards." ”
The eldest uncle said in a trembling voice: "You mean that you are really ...... foolish"
Chen Yu nodded, signaling him not to speak again. Uncle Lin knew that the more vulgar followed Wu Chu in Jiangjin, and had seen the real Qingzhou ghost ride, so he guessed from the snowflakes in front of him that Xu Ruyu was more vulgar back then.
At this time, Zhang Zhongdao realized the treacherous situation of the cavalry formation, and the generals retreated to regroup. Xu Ruyu allowed him to calmly set up the formation, and led the cavalry to first attack the formation of the longbowmen who were still formed, and then collapsed. They successively broke through a few small places and barely assembled foot soldiers, and three teams of snowflakes and six out of a total of 18 cavalry trapped Zhang Zhongdao, the commander of the "enemy army", in the center.
Watching the drill, everyone has now gotten off the high platform and rode their horses to the drill ground.
Cui'er was the first to run to Xu Ruyu's side, watched the eighteen horsemen trap Zhang Zhongdao in the field, and asked, "Why don't you let Brother Zhongdao come out." ”
Xu Ruyu pointed to Chen Yu, who was riding his horse slowly, and said, "The commander of the drill has not yet ordered the drill to end. He looked at Zhang Zhongdao behind him and whispered: "He is still holding on to death." ”
Cui'er burst out laughing, Xu Ruyu looked at Zhang Zhongdao in embarrassment, and rode away towards Chen Yu and the others.
Fang Suyao pointed at Zhang Zhongdao and asked, "Do you think that you can trap General Zhang with only eighteen horsemen?" ”
Xu Ruyu shook his head and said, "Not now." ”
Fang Su asked, "Why didn't he come out?" ”
Zhang Jidao said with a smile: "My brother is tender, I'll ask him to come out." ”
Chen Yu stopped Zhang Jidao and said with a smile: "If I don't give the order to end the exercise, Ru Yu will not withdraw his troops, and you will fall into it if you go." ”
Zhang Jidao knew that the sentry cavalry under Xu Ruyu could no longer be driven by others except him. At that time, Chen Yu asked Ru Yu why he was like this, and he replied: "It has always been a soldier who is a general, and a general is a commander, and if a commander order is issued to a soldier, the commander will be confused with the commander order in wartime, so that the soldiers are at a loss." Therefore I am in his office, and no one else can override me. ”
At this time, the generals who were practicing and observing the practice in the vicinity reported the detailed situation to Chen Pre, and after listening to it with a smile, Chen Pre announced loudly: "Xu Ruyu led the Yin Tiger Battalion to win the outpost. ”
More than 100 elite riders heard and heard, cheering like thunder, from near and far, resounding through the field.
Zhang Zhongdao walked up to Chen Zhuma with a stagnant face, and asked in a muffled voice, "How many casualties are our army?" ”
Zhang Jidao tugged at his shirt beside him, he didn't realize it, and continued to ask: "Is the whole army annihilated?" "The rout of the whole army is not much different from the destruction of the whole army, and everyone avoids looking away, and no one can bear to answer him.
Zhang Zhongdao knew that it was, and a line of tears couldn't help but flow from the tiger's eyes.
Zhang Jidao couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked Xu Ruyu with his head: "General Xu, the cavalry rushed into the infantry formation, does my brother have no chance?" ”
When everyone heard this question, they were all stunned, thinking: Is there still a chance for the foot soldiers?
Xu Ruyu said: "If General Zhang does not hesitate to kill the sergeant, with two or three sentry halberds, entangle the cavalry, and the longbowmen leave the battlefield, re-form the formation, and shoot hundreds of the enemy and us in one salvo, there should be a chance." ”
Everyone gasped, and if they could do this calmly, the handsome surname must be extremely cool and enduring.
Xu Ruyu knew that although this could inflict heavy losses on the cavalry, it was still difficult for the infantry battalion to save the defeat, but the defeat was just better, but it caused the casualties of the soldiers to double, and there was no chance of surrender. Seeing the feminine light flashing in the corners of Zhang Jidao's eyes, it was almost difficult to capture, and he felt a little hesitant in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more.
Zhang Zhongdao ignored his brother's kindness, knelt down on one knee, looked at Chen Yu, and said, "Please remove Changshi from my post as captain of Huya in the Jiazi Battalion, and let me be an ordinary soldier under General Xu." ”
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, didn't know what to do, looked at the eldest uncle, and hoped that he would persuade Zhang Zhongdao.
The eldest uncle is the mentor of the Zhang brothers, and he stood up and said: "You can do this, which means that you are still a man, worthy of being my disciple." "Say no more.
Chen foresaw that Uncle Lin also supported Zhang Zhongdao, and seeing Zhang Zhongdao's resolute and firm look in his eyes, he said: "That is, Xu Ruyu will be promoted to the left lieutenant of the Yinhu Battalion, and Zhang Zhongdao will be removed from the post of captain of the Huya School of the Jiazi Battalion, and the captain of the Yinhu Battalion will be returned to the left lieutenant of the Yinhu Battalion." ”
That year, Xu Ruyu was 18 years old, Jiang Youli was 21 years old, Jiang Lingtian was 26 years old, Jiang Yunuo was 14 years old, Fang Su was 25 years old, Zhang Zhongdao was 27 years old, Chen Shuyu was 17 years old, and Jue'er was 17 years old.
