On October 26, in the early morning, Zao Wou-Ki summoned the generals of the Northern Army and ordered to surround the Southern Army's Water Drop Array!

Zao Wou-Ki personally dispatched troops and dispatched a team of men and horses to each garrison point of the Southern Army, namely:

Ouyang Changge led the first army of the front division of the palace to Xinzheng Zhao Jien led the first army of the Kaifeng Janissary Army to the barrage of the horse ridge Xie Zhuyan led the four halls of the Hayang Gate to the Meteor Valley blood flow, the blood madness army went to Huashi Mountain and the rain and wind were full of buildings, the blue melancholy led the red flame, the blues army went to the Tang realm, Su Bingyun led Su Xiaoqing, the yellow army went to Ruzhou Qin Shizong, Liu Chengzhong led the Luoyang Praetorian Guards to Shilong, Wang Shifei led the four halls of the Hayang Gate to Pingdingshan, Zhao Bai and led the soldiers of the Xiangwang Mansion to Ziyun Mountain, An Bixin led the front division of the palace The fourth carriage army went to Xiangcheng Dongfangyuan, Yang Xu, Gu Bin led the Fifth Carriage Army of the Front Division of the Palace, the Fifth Carriage Army of the Kaifeng Forbidden Guard Army to the Jade Bridge, Xue Yu led the Second Carriage Army of the Front Division of the Palace to the North, Li Mancheng led the Third Carriage Army of the Kaifeng Forbidden Guard Army to Wangtian Tujue, Lady Stamen led the Lily, the Peony Legion went to Taikang Zhuang Butterfly Dance, Ruyi Manifestation, Zhuang Ning led Jasmine, the Mandala Legion went to the White House Astro Boy, the Mei Junzi led the Rose, the Momei Legion went to the backstage Lin Aotian led the blood night, the Blood Drop Legion led the Qicheng Qin Ren, Baili Ju, Xing Kaifang led the Luoyang Praetorian Guard Army 3, the Fourth Carriage Army went to Gaoyang White Pigeon, Li Jianxian led the White God, The Qinglian Legion went to Tongxu Ajin, Lin Mu led the Black Dragon, the Purple Resentment Legion went to the Eighteen Miles to Spread the Blood Dance, the Scarlet Legion went to Huangshi Lake Fenglinwan, Mo Uneasy, Xie Qixian, Tie Yingxia led the Crescent Moon Faction, the Goldsmith Gate, and all the trialist sects in Luoyang and Kaifeng went back and forth to respond, transmit military information and transport grain and grass, and because He Zhiying and Blood Moon were seriously injured, Zhao Wou-Ki led the Third Carriage Army of the former division of the palace and the Blood Moon Legion to sit in Zhuangbei and strategize.

The military order has been issued, and Zhao Wuji expressed his determination to win this battle, and ordered Li Jizhong and Gongsun Mirage to be escorted to the camp gate, and said to the generals: "These two people have been the fourth masters of the Praetorian Guard, but they are both scum in the army like Zhao Jilong. A cowardly and cowardly, frightened by the Southern Army, and a soldier on paper, led to the annihilation of the Fourth Chamber Army, swept the face of our Northern Army, and destroyed the prestige of our Northern Army. From today onwards, there will be another person who disobeys the military order and causes the defeat of our army, and there will be such two people! ”

Zao Wou-Ki said that, and immediately ordered the knife and axe hand to behead the two of them, and hang the two bloody heads high in the gate, casting a brutal and bloody shadow for the Northern Army's expedition!

……

At noon on October 27, all units of the Northern Army had arrived at the periphery of the garrisons of the Southern Army as scheduled, and an hour later, the commanders of the Northern Army issued an order at the same time, and a difficult battle began!

Far away in the center of the water drop array, far away from the Xuchang Southern Army camp at the end of the battle, Yan Yunxing sat firmly in Diaoyutai and issued various military orders in an orderly manner. Ziyi wrote a note on the side, Huo'er put the note into a small bamboo tube and passed it to fifteen holy insects, the holy insects scattered around, frequent exchanges, if there was an urgent order, Yao Shuang, who was faster than the holy insects, became the best choice to pass the military order.

In the face of the battle of the Northern Army's "Encirclement", Yan Yunxing's initial order told all departments to stick to it, and inspired the generals with the glorious deeds of the royal road: "The royal road only resisted the troops of the northern army with the strength of a legion, and now the northern army is scattered, if you are broken the city, what face do you have to face the sacrificed Wang Dao generals?" ”

It is harder to compare than a living person, and it is better than a dead person to fall behind him? Without Yan Yunxing's encouragement, the various units of the southern army naturally desperately defended the city, and at dusk, although the southern army suffered heavy casualties, none of the strongholds were captured by the northern army, and the northern army had to temporarily withdraw its troops.

……

In the camp of the Chinese army in Xuchang, Yan Yunxing looked at the various battle reports transmitted by the holy worm, frowned and pondered. Shi Jiangzhen, Jiacheng Guards Zhenqing, Lou Peng, Lu Duoqing, and the 28th and 29th Army Corps commanders Yao Shuang, Nan Huaxin, and Xi Jinghong were all in the tent, and the generals looked at Yan Yunxing's expressions quite solemnly, and they speculated in their hearts, could it be that this time the Northern Army was not easy to deal with?

"Master, is there any difficulty this time? Can you say it with us listening? Maybe we can help you a little bit? Nan Huaxin really can't bear Yan Yunxing to bear this burden alone, since the beginning of the war, all the big and small schemes have been planned by him personally, and he has worked hard and exhausted, which is harder than going to the battlefield to fight in person, and the deterioration of his ghost eyes has accelerated, and the whole person can no longer see his original face clearly, and the blood lines around his body are protruding, and he is completely out of human shape.

"Yes, although we are not as clever as you, but the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, maybe our casual suggestion can make you burst out of new inspiration?" Lu Duoqing also felt sorry for his master, but it was really difficult to show his heart in front of Lou Peng.

Yan Yunxing was very relieved when he heard such words of concern, so he shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to worry, I am confident that the Water Drop Array is unbreakable, but the Northern Army's method of encircling the formation this time, no matter the timing or the layout of various places, makes me feel faintly uneasy, but what I am most worried about is not this matter, it is another ...... Hey, forget it, let's not mention it for now, you'll know after tonight. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't ask in detail, so they all bowed their heads and were silent. Yan Yunxing knew that they still had a lot of worries in their hearts, so he said to everyone: "Are you still worried about the plight of the Water Drop Array?" Then I will pass on to you the method of operation of the water drop array, so that you can rest assured that if you can understand the water drop battle method, you can be on your own after that. ”

The generals showed their happy faces, all with a look of anticipation, eagerly looking forward to Yan Yunxing's teaching, but in this extremely enthusiastic atmosphere of seeking knowledge, only Ziyi and Huo'er felt that something was wrong, but the two of them really couldn't say what was wrong.

Ziyi and Huo'er looked at each other, and they all frowned solemnly, and when they were about to pull Yan Yunxing aside to ask carefully, Yan Yunxing had already begun to explain the operation of the water drop array to everyone, which was really difficult to interrupt.

"Water is the softest thing in the world, flowing through the mountains, it is the veins of the mountains, swooping down the valleys, it is the heart of the valleys, what kind of container it is put into, what kind of form it is, so the water is impermanent, and the soldiers are impermanent."

Yan Yunxing said this, dropped a drop of tea on the table, and continued: "From the perspective of the Northern Army, the Northern Army tried the formation for the first time, and attacked one of the strongholds of the Water Drop Formation, and the nearby strongholds will help in time, like this drop of water...... Yan Yunxing said and drew a small toothpick, and slowly inserted the toothpick into the water droplet, "You see, the toothpick successfully pierced the water droplet, but it encroached on the area originally occupied by this drop of water, so the two sides of the toothpick will be wrapped in water droplets, and the Northern Army will be defeated because of this." ”

Yan Yunxing's vivid explanation made everyone suddenly enlightened, and Lou Peng immediately asked: "What about the second time the Northern Army broke into battle?" ”

"Give me the hairpin." Yan Yunxing stretched out his hand to ask for a hairpin, Nan Huaxin hurriedly offered it, and everyone saw that Yan Yunxing pinched the hairpin and pierced the water droplets again, and the water droplets slowly flowed back a little, and then quickly wrapped the tip of the hairpin. Yan Yunxing explained: "This hairpin is like the second time the Northern Army broke into battle, almost pouring out, their purpose is the center of this drop of water, that is, Jiangzhen, Jiacheng, you also saw this drop of water flow backwards a little, because it can't withstand the hairpin with more gravity than a toothpick, and retreats to advance the core to retreat a step back, but as long as it is not pierced by the hairpin, this drop of water can regain its original territory." ”

Yan Yunxing sighed again when he said this, "Originally, the royal road could not be sacrificed, as long as he held the first wave of the Northern Army's offensive, he could buy time for the temporary retreat of the water drop core, hey......"

Yan Yunxing was momentarily sentimental, and his face was vaguely restless with blood lines, Yao Shuang saw it, and hurriedly pulled back the topic of the Water Drop Array, "According to what the sect leader said, the Northern Army didn't realize the method of flowing the Water Drop Array a few days ago, so it suspended the offensive, but now there are also masters in the Northern Army who have seen through this and ordered the Water Drops to be surrounded on all sides, how should our army respond?" He asked, instructing Zhenqing to take off the jade wrench on his thumb and circle the tea on the table.

"This wrench is too hard, not like the Northern Army." Yan Yunxing smiled, took away the wrench, picked up the teacup, dripped a ring of water outside the water droplet, and said: "The Northern Army is surrounded by a formation, and it is also flowing, but they are not water droplets, but water rings. ”

"What's the difference?" Zhenqing put back his wrench and asked out loud.

"Of course, there is an essential difference." Yan Yunxing continued to explain to everyone, "The Northern Army thought that they had laid a larger Water Drop Array in an attempt to cover our army's Water Drop Array, but in fact, this was not the case, where was the core of their Water Drop Array? No, where is the eye? No, the most important thing is that they don't have the eyes and ears of the scouts who connect the various strongholds of the Water Drop Array, if they want to convey military orders, they can only run around our Water Drop Array, so their Water Drop Array is just an empty shell, it can only be called the Water Ring Array, this is the biggest difference! ”

"Then how did our army win after holding the first wave of the offensive of the Northern Army?" True Love then asked.

Yan Yunxing smiled mysteriously and said, "The holding of the day is just to confuse the Northern Army, and the next most critical step is to let our army retreat collectively while the night is dark." He said and pointed to the drop of water on the table, "What happens if this drop of water starts to condense into a little bit and suddenly bursts into the least watery part of the water ring?" ”

"The Water Ring Array will be broken through by our army and go straight to the Beibei camp of the Northern Army, even Kaifeng and Luoyang!" The true feelings suddenly dawned, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"That's right." Yan Yunxing nodded undeniably, "It's very simple, our army is weak, and the northern army is strong, so our army is most afraid of the northern army gathering in one place, but now that the northern army has become a plate of scattered sand, our army is twisted into a rope, why worry about it?" ”

"The sect leader is really a god and a man!" Yao Shuang couldn't help but applaud, and expressed his own understanding of the Northern Army's encirclement.

"The Northern Army thought that there were three advantages to encircling the formation. First, one-on-one attacks on our army's strongholds, so that our army fell into a full-scale war, our army can only hold on, can not ask for help, the longer the time, the greater the victory of the northern army, the second, surround the water drop array, can also inhibit the flow of water droplets, so that our army can not retreat Third, our army's logistics troops can no longer transport grain and grass to the formation, after a long time, our army defeated. I have to say that the method of encircling the formation does have its effect, but they don't realize that there are more disadvantages of encircling the formation, first, the legions can only go around the water drop array, and the military order cannot be conveyed in time, so as to delay the fighters Second, disperse the troops, which means that the combat effectiveness is dispersed, and they can't resist the joint attack of our army in any place. ”

"Hahaha...... The Northern Army never expected that the method of encircling the formation would actually lift a stone and shoot itself in the foot! "Laughing heartily, with this "three good and three bad" saying, why is the southern army so worried?

When everyone was rejoicing, three dark lights suddenly rushed in outside the door, one red, one green and one black, and Huo'er fixed his eyes to see that it was the three holy elders who were on a secret mission, Xiao Hong, Xiao Green, and Da Hei. Needless to say, Big Black and Little Green are tasked with searching for Yan Lengfeng, and this time they are back before the war, I hope it won't disappoint as always.

Xiaohong seemed to hear everyone's hearts, "hiss......" screamed twice with unusually cheerfulness, and then spit out a piece of soaked kraft paper from her mouth, and the people of the Five Poisons Sect screamed with joy before they watched it, and Ziyi cried with joy!

Sixteen years! Finally there is news from him!

Yan Yunxing grabbed the kraft paper first, only glanced at it, laughed and shouted three times in a row, and then took the news from the big black handed by Xi Jinghong, and even patted his thighs and laughed heartily, but in the end, after watching the news passed by Xiao Lu, this joy did not continue, but made his blood lines all over his body crazy and restless!

"What's wrong, Sect Master?" Yao Shuang's face had changed, and he smelled a hint of danger!

"Master, what the hell is the news? But Uncle Leng ......"

Before Nan Huaxin's words fell, Yan Yunxing immediately interrupted: "Don't ask, I'm running out of time!" You go to deliver the news of the retreat of the whole army as soon as possible, and then Yao Shuang will temporarily take the position of my commander, and then trouble the head of Lou to assist you from the side, and stabilize the formation according to the method of operation of the water drop array I explained! This war is far from being as simple as you think, and I must wait for ......"

Before he finished speaking, it came to an abrupt end.

A black light flashed, and Yan Yunxing disappeared in an instant!
