No matter how Su Bingyun persuaded him, the commanders of the Northern Army finally decided to try out the formation at the same time to find out.

On October 21, at the beginning of autumn, Qin Ren, the commander of the Western Road of the Northern Army, ordered the first and second armies of the Luoyang City Praetorian Guard to join the Piaoxiang Alliance Momei, the Mandala Legion, and the Crescent Sect Ximen Fei, You Zi'an, and seven or eight Trialist Sects in Luoyang to attack Shilong; The middle lane commander Zhao Wouji ordered the third chamber army of the front division of the palace, the fourth chamber army of the Praetorian Guard, and united with the king of the Hagiyang Gate, Luban, Bu Mian, and five or six trialist sects in Kaifeng to attack the Barrier Ridge; Lin Ao, the commander of the East Road, led their respective legions to besiege the backstage, and the first battle of the Northern Army's formation began!

……

West Road Shilong, the second army of the Luoyang Praetorian Guard Army was the first to arrive at the city, the owner of the box Liu Chengzhong single drowned Shilong guards to fight with all their hearts, and hung up the battle card and ignored it, Liu Chengzhong was annoyed, and directly ordered the soldiers to besiege the city on all sides, intending to attack Shilong.

Liu Chengzhong is the master of the box, by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, the reason why he ordered the siege of the city in a hurry is completely carried away by the anger of revenge, his own brother Liu Chengyi, the master of the fifth chamber of the army, died in the battle of Ruzhou half a month ago under the sword of the poisonous snake, and now the enemy is in the city, how can he not move?

It's a pity that the defense of the second army of the southern army is really tight, and the second army has been attacking for an hour, until other troops of the northern army have arrived outside the city, but they have not been able to break through, and the first army lord Qin Shizong hurriedly suspended the offensive, Liu Chengzhong then withdrew, gathered with other army lords, and discussed the siege strategy.

At that time, the commander of the Momei Legion, "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", known as Mei Junzi, was the fifth master of Piaoxiang after Zhuang Diewu, Zhuang Ning, Li Jianxian, and Astro Boy, and had a unique view on war strategy. ”

As soon as Liu Chengzhong heard this, he felt quite reasonable, and immediately got up and said to the generals: "If so, go to make a feint, you can wait for the ambush and wait for the reinforcements of the southern army." As he spoke, he was about to lead the troops into battle again, but was stopped by Qin Shiren, "Wait, not only do we besiege the city to send reinforcements, but also take advantage of the southern army's reinforcements to attack the pass city, so that even if the southern army saves Shilong, it will not be able to return to the original station, so won't it break the southern army's formation?" ”

The Mandala Warlord "Ruyi Manifestation" nodded one after another, expressing agreement, and asked, "Where are the nearest Southern Army reinforcements to Shilong?" ”

You Zi'an said: "Ruzhou Bai Xiaobi and Pingdingshan Qianyucheng, but these two people are the elites of the Five Poisons Department of the Demon Legion, and it is really difficult to deal with!" ”

"Zi'an's words are different." Ximen Fei said, "Although the first and third legions of the Southern Army are the elites of the Five Poison Department, they are not worse than the Ninth Army of the Southern Army, and their combat power is at most comparable to our Luoyang Xiang Army, even if the Southern Army can be ten with one, they can only come to two legions at most, and the number is far inferior to our army. ”

"That's right." Mei Junzi nodded in agreement, and then said to Qin Shizong: "Why don't you report to Qin Shuai quickly, let Qin Shuai always pay attention to the movements of Ruzhou and Pingdingshan, once you find that the first and third army corps have left the station, immediately capture the two places, and you will definitely be able to win a big victory!" ”

Qin Shizong had already had this intention, so he ordered the soldiers to rush back to the Ruyang camp to prepare the battle on the front line, and let Qin Shuai make plans to attack the city as soon as possible.

After some discussion, Liu Chengzhong led the troops out of the camp to attack Shilong for the second time, but this time he was not as desperate as before, shooting arrows into the city casually, or beating a war drum to scare for a while, or standing under the city and scolding for a while, which always made the southern army always worried and annoyed.

At the end of the day, Liu Chengzhong saw that the reinforcements of the southern army had not arrived for a long time, so he suspended the feint attack, returned to the camp and discussed with other army masters.

Liu Chengzhong scolded all morning, his throat was almost hoarse, he lifted the kettle and poured it violently, panting slightly: "Is it that the Southern Army has long expected that our army will only feint, so it refuses to go to war and does not bring reinforcements......

"Ahem...... You Zi'an reminded "kindly", "I think, Lord Liuxiang's feint attack is a little fake, and the southern army doesn't feel the slightest threat, how can it be possible to move rescue troops......"

"Really?" Liu Chengzhong asked everyone.

All the generals nodded in unison, indicating that it was indeed fake......

"Then I'll try again, I'm really fighting this time!" Liu Chengzhong hurried back to the front line, and after some encouragement, he ordered the second army to attack the city with all his might. After holding on for half an hour, seeing that the city was about to be breached, the reinforcements of the southern army just didn't appear, and Qin Shizong was so anxious that he didn't send troops, and he didn't send troops, so he was so anxious.

"No matter!" Qin Shizong slapped the table suddenly, got up and said to the generals: "The brothers in the second compartment are fighting bloodily, but we are waiting for such Laoshzi reinforcements, it is really stupid!" In my opinion, there are no reinforcements at all, and what kind of broken water drop array is a cover arranged by the Yan Poison Demon, deliberately making me hesitate to delay, so as to delay his defeat! ”

Mei Junzi also felt that something was wrong, according to what Mo Junshi said, this formation was trapped in one place, and the nearby Quartet must send troops to rescue, especially Ruzhou, Qicheng and other front-line towns, so that it became a formation. Therefore, the leader of the alliance tried his best to persuade Qin Ren to attack Shilong in the rear, instead of the important town of Ruzhou, in order to find out whether the southern army's formation in the rear was the same as that of the front line, in order to form horns and rescue each other. Why else would you set up this formation? What is the purpose of laying down the rear front? What about playing?

"I think it's better to wait." Jun Mei thought about it again and again, but decided to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

Qin Shizong was different from his master Qin Ren, who was bent on going his own way, although he was anxious, he still followed the advice of Jun Mei, suppressed the idea of sending troops, and sat back in the handsome chair and waited for reinforcements from the southern army.

At noon, Liu Chengzhong returned with blood outside the tent, but he was dejected, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to have endless anger and strong unwillingness!

"TND, it's just one breath away, if this breath is supported, labor and management will capture Shilong!" Liu Chengzhong scolded when he entered the door, although he was venting his anger, but the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and everyone else unconsciously thought that it was his own non-arrival that led to Liu Chengzhong's failure to attack the city. If so many people had attacked the city together, Shilong would have taken it long ago!

Qin Shizong, as Liu Chengzhong's colleague and friend, felt even more ashamed, he directly got up and gave an order: "Except for the brothers of the second army, all the rest of the people who are ambushed outside the city will give me all the strength to attack the city!" This time, even if the poisonous demon comes in person, Qin will also swear to take down the stone dragon, personally cut off the heart dog's head, and avenge the lord of the willow chamber! ”

Mr. Mei had nothing to say at this time, so he had to obey his fate. The generals were just about to leave the camp, and the herald who had gone to Ruyang arrived quickly, but they met Qin Shuai halfway, and Qin Shuai said that there was no movement in Ruzhou and Pingdingshan, and the southern army had no reinforcements at all!

When the generals heard this, they all scolded, and scolded the eighteenth generation of Yan Yunxing's ancestors. Do you really think we don't dare to attack the city with all our might?

All the generals went out of the camp with angry faces, and each ordered the soldiers under their command to stop the ambush and attack the stone dragon!

So Shilong fell into the siege again, Qin Shizong hurried to the city, looked at the city, only to see the heart holding a sword proudly, it seems that he will also fight to the death, that decisive look is the greatest encouragement to the southern army, but for the northern army, it is a naked insult!

Qin Shizong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and with an order, the northern army all over the mountains rushed towards Shilong! Qin Shizong looked at his heart again, and just wanted to make a neck wiping action to intimidate him, but when he saw that there was no longer a decisive intention in his eyes, and the dust under the city shook the sky, he completely ignored it, and even pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely strange smile!

Qin Shizong's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he was waiting for the scouts to go to inquire about the movement of the southern army's reinforcements, but he suddenly heard the war drums behind him and the hooves of the horses roaring! The rolling dust rose into the sky, from far and near, and gradually revealed countless soldiers and horses of the Southern Army!

"Qin Shizong, your time of death has arrived!" After finishing his heart, he shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, pulled Qin Shizong back to reality from his shock, and gave him a desperate blow!

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, open the city gates, and meet the northern army!" After holding the viper sword high, he jumped down from the city, and the viper sword flew up and down, one sword and one life, and it became a dead place within ten steps!

"Boom!" The gate of Shilong City was wide open, and the second army slaughtered out of the city from all sides, and joined forces with the reinforcements, turning the people killed by the northern army on their backs and fleeing in a hurry. Qin Shizong and other generals of the Northern Army waited until the reinforcements of the Southern Army were close to the front, and only then did they see clearly where the reinforcements belonged, but it was the Fourth Army of Ziyun Mountain, the Divine Soldier Hall under the command of Nanhua Xin, and the Sixth Army of Jiacheng!

No wonder there is no movement in Ruzhou and Pingdingshan, it turns out that the Water Drop Array is not nearby support at all, but support from the other city, stragglers, and core!

Qin Shizong saw that his side was defeated, so he could only withdraw his troops, and the southern army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, chasing for more than 100 miles before he happily gave up.

In this trial formation, although the major generals of the Northern Army did not suffer casualties, the middle-level generals such as the second-level commander, the battalion commander, the deputy commander, and the Marquis of Du Yu were almost completely killed and wounded, most of the soldiers were reduced, the morale of the western road plummeted, and the soldiers had no desire to fight, so that Qin Ren no longer dared to try the formation easily!

……

At the same time, in the battle of the middle road, the northern army also suffered heavy losses, and the southern army went to the rescue not the new Zheng and Meteor Valley defenders that Zao Wou-Ki was always vigilant against, but the 12th Army Corps stationed in the rampaging lion of Huashi, the 8th Army led by Yan Ziyi, the protector of the Southern Army, and the 29th Army of Xi Jinghong. He Zhiying, the third owner of the former division of the palace in this battle, was seriously injured, and Li Jizhong, the fourth owner of the Praetorian Guard, was even more frightened by the sudden southern army, and fell to the ground in a coma on the spot.

Zao Wou-Ki's attempt failed, and the army withdrew to Zhuangbei again. Let's talk about the East Road of the Northern Army, although the same attempt was fruitless, but it was a different situation.

Burning and Feng Wu are worthy of being the two strongest forces in the Southern Song Dynasty, encountering the supreme alliance with the weakest combat power of the southern army, one strong enemy and one weak, the supreme boss can't even wait for the rescue, so he was attacked by blood, blood madness, and blue melancholy, and fled in a hurry. Of course, the rescue speed of the 22nd Army of Taikang Nao Zu was too slow, which was also an important reason for the loss of the background, thanks to Gao Yang Chengzhiwen's 17th Army, Jiangzhen Zhenqing's 19th Army, Yao Shuang's Poison Centide, and Alsace's 21st Army led by Liu Yu of Bailou arrived in time, and the strength of the four major legions recaptured the backstage, although the Southern Army suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, the result was good, and it also proved that the Water Drop Array was indeed unbreakable.

……

In the middle of the night, the major army lords and chamber masters of the three roads of the Northern Army gathered in Zhuangbei Town one step ahead of the army to discuss the best way to break the formation, and they finally realized the terrible thing about the Water Drop Array, and it would never be possible to break through its formation with the strength of the troops along the way.

The generals saluted and separated the two ends, Lin Aotian didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained to others where the key point of the Water Drop Array was, that is, Jiangzhen and Jiacheng, and only by capturing these two places could the formation be broken.

Feng Linwan still didn't understand a little, and asked directly: "I also understand what the alliance leader means, but in the deep water drop array of these two cores, we can't get in, so how can we talk about attacking?" ”

Lin Aotian glanced at this nominal subordinate, and said in his heart that I don't see you talking so much in Taiyuan, why do you study diligently and ask questions every time there are many people, but what a freak......

Lin Aotian didn't want to have anything to do with Feng Linwan, but the question raised by Feng Linwan was also the confusion of many people here, how could he attack the core of the formation?

Seeing that everyone was looking at Lin Aotian, Blood Dance came forward to explain: "You have also heard that my Eastern Route Army has taken the backstage, so the water drop array is not a solid iron bucket array, every place is impregnable and difficult to attack, it's not like this, water droplets, water droplets, it is elastic, you imagine that there are water droplets as high as me in front of me, and it is sulfuric acid, I fight with a finger and don't, squeeze it in one place, this place will collapse and retract, but here the edge will be expanded by force, and it has surrounded me in a circle, so that I have to stop exerting force, Otherwise, my whole body will be corroded, and once my fingers are removed, the water droplets will be restored again, so it will never break the formation. For example, Qicheng, our side attacked Qicheng, even if it can be taken in one fell swoop, the edge of both sides of Tongxu, Gaoyang, backstage, eighteen miles of shop, etc. will still recapture Qicheng, if we struggle to resist, then the entire water drop array will run towards Qicheng, we will inevitably be in a quagmire, and there will be no day to turn over. ”

Zhuang Diewu probably understood the meaning of the Blood Dance, and then said, "Then if I hold the edge of it while you squeeze this place, so that it can't expand with force, then won't we be able to move forward slowly?" As soon as she finished speaking, she vetoed the idea first, shook her head and shouted: "No, no, even if I help you withstand the pressure on the edge, the force point will all be squeezed to the center of the water droplet, that is, Jiacheng, Xuchang, Jiangzhen!" Once these three places send troops, they will return it to us several times as much force as we exert it! ”

"That's right, that's the crux of the matter!" Su Bingyun clapped his hands and praised, which made Zhuang Diewu a little embarrassed, and he shook Su Bingyun with a roll of his eyes and stopped making a sound.

"So what does Lord Lin mean?" Zao Wou-Ki didn't want the content of the problem, he just wanted to know the solution to the problem.

Lin Aotian smiled proudly and said loudly: "So what I mean is to gather the three-way army of my northern army and exert the maximum pressure on the water drop array, just imagine that my east road alone can break through the backstage, and I will be able to drive straight into the formation in one go, and break through the core of the formation in one go!" ”
