Chapter 343: The Battle of Yiling (One Hundred and Seventy-Three)
(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

It seems that Cui Li is not exaggerating this time, their tactical plan stands from an angle that we have never considered, and this time the tactics are novel, and it is likely to be the key to success.
"Of course, it's not just the difference in movement speed, we found other more surprising discoveries. So we must win this time!! "Cui Li is so confident that it is as if we have left the 'Odd Array'.
The angle Cui Li and Professor Wu chose this time was something we had not considered before. The speed of the formation is indeed crucial, and if the shield array is covering at the front, it will inevitably affect the speed of the entire formation. However, if the position of the shield array is moved back for this reason, it completely loses its role as a cover formation, as if it is a virtual reality, and the speed of movement cannot keep up with the formation in front. It seems that the study of this formation is extremely complicated.
"Of course, what we found is much more than that, we also found that more importantly, different formations can be combined with each other, and the power of the combination will be significantly improved." Cui Li smiled smugly again.
"The formations can be combined with each other, so it's the same as the blocks we play with?" Zhao Yuyu said jokingly.
"Theoretically, this is the case, we found that each formation can be combined with other formations, but the combination is not necessarily better than the original, and there will be a decrease in power after the combination, so how to combine, how to combine formally we need to discuss." Professor Wu's words are obviously more convincing than Cui's.
"Professor Wu, have you combined the formations?" Lin Yun asked.
"Of course, but due to the influence of time, Cui Li and I don't have many combinations, but through a few simple combinations, some problems can already be explained." Professor Wu walked up to Cui Li's side and pointed to the 'blackboard' and continued. "For example, we added archers to our shield array, and guess what we found?" Professor Wu's expression looked as if he had discovered a miraculous scientific achievement. "We were surprised to find that due to the slow movement speed of the shield array, the archers were relatively flexible in their movements, so during the march of the shield array, the archers could rely on the cover of the shield array to attack."
"It's hard to believe!" Li Ruina said in surprise.
"Also, we've added infantry to the shield again, and guess what's going to happen?" Cui Li deliberately left the puzzle.
"What the hell will happen?" Lin Yun obviously didn't like guessing questions.
"We've noticed that the shield array is moving significantly faster." When Cui Li spoke, he looked a little shocked.
"What!! The shield moves faster? How is this possible? Li Ruina questioned Cui Li's description.
I'm lost in thought, the shield is moving faster? It sounds so incredible, imagine if you see a shield array running fast, the enemy soldiers will be dumbfounded. But why does the shield array inexplicably speed up after joining the infantry? I suddenly thought of something, and it turned out to be like this, and I would smile.
"Cui Li, you mean! How could the shield circle travel faster? Zhao Yuyu also asked impatiently.
"In fact, the answer is very simple, the soldiers of the shield array are actually infantry, the only difference is that they hold a heavy tiger shield in their hands, so when two infantry march with a tiger shield, is the speed naturally increased?" Cui Li replied.
"I see, it seems that the combination of this formation sounds easy, but it is actually quite complicated." Zhao Yuyu said.
That's right, the combination of two formations is not just a mathematical problem of one plus one equals two, but all possibilities must be considered until the best combat formation is selected.
"Okay, with all that said, let's get down to business, let's take a look at the new battle plan." Cui Li pretended to be mysterious: "Of course, the new battle plan is still changed from the old plan, let's take a look at the old plan first." "Cui Li reversed the 'blackboard'. Draw three line segments (line, dash, and wavy) on it. I suddenly remembered when Professor Wu explained the battle plan to us.
"Cheng Yin, you see that we only need to combine the shield array, sword array and bow array." Professor Wu's voice appeared in his ears again, and he pointed to the figure composed of three line segments (straight line, dashed line and wavy line) on the 'blackboard' and said: "I will represent the shield array, the dotted line represents the sword array, and the wavy line represents the bow array. In this way, we can break through and capture Yiling Pass. Cheng Yin, I'm amazed that you didn't question it, you must know that in class, you always have the most questions, and they are different. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead with my plan, and now there are three traps in front of us, a strong and movable wall, a huge and remote-controlled sword, and a wide 'fan' that can control the wind, which we thought at first looked like a 'sail'. My formation was designed to deal with these three organs. Lin Yun, tell us what we think. ”
Lin Yun took out the paper, obviously the discussion just now was still very serious, and there were still notes.
"First of all, we open the way with the shield array, so that the bow and arrow of the city wall can be easily dealt with, if the other party uses the wind tactic, our formation can deal with it freely, the protection of the shield array is not needed for the time being, and the bow and arrow of the city wall will not be able to hurt us when the wind is strong, so that our sword array and bow array can still continue to move forward, and then the opponent's sword should also appear on the stage, according to Cheng Yin's previous experience, the attack of the sword has the same law, and our sword array is composed of to block the sword, Slow down the sword's attack as much as possible and give our bow formation time. ”
"Wait until our archers can reach the front of the walls. When our archers reach the wall, if the wall does not move, we will take it in one go, and if the wall moves, then our archers will be of use to force,"
recalled that it came to an abrupt end, and Cui Li was exactly what Professor Wu said at that time.
"But!! With our formation combination, the previous plan will be even more perfect. We still opened the way with the shield array, but the archers joined, so that the original shield array has the ability to attack, and then if the opponent uses the wind tactic, the infantry behind our shield array will join in time, and the archers withdraw, so that our shield array can still advance even in the wind. Cui Li's explanation was detailed.
"But what if the sword comes out? Don't forget that all your weapons will be flying into the air, not to mention your huge tiger shield. "Lin Yun's question is very focused.
"That's right, I've heard Professor Wu talk about the power of the sword, the sword itself is already sharpened like clay, and I don't know why all the blades fly into the Yiling Pass. At this time, we still joined the infantry in the shield array, barely controlling the tiger shield and sword in our hands, the archers quickly withdrew, and ran towards Yiling Pass, once we came to the city wall of Yiling Pass, we can say that we have succeeded for the most part. Cui Li was triumphant.
"What are you kidding? Even if our archers reach the front of the walls of Yiling Pass, what can they do without their blades? Lin Yun asked unconvinced.
Yes, the closer you get to the wall, the less likely it is to hold the blade in your hand, and once the archer has no weapons, even if he attacks the wall, it is useless.
However, Cui Li still had a calm expression, and said with a smile: "That's why I said earlier that it is difficult to win a war without field investigations, and we have never carefully studied the blades used by our soldiers, but only relied on our own guesses. The archer's bow and arrow are made of wood, so it is naturally impossible to fly into Yiling Pass, so we can judge that there must be a huge magnet in Yiling Pass, and the reason why our blades will fly into it is this reason, of course, this is what Professor Wu thought. ”
"It's true that the bow is made of wood, but the head of the bow is made of iron, so what power can a bow and arrow have if it doesn't have an arrow?" Lin Yun still found the problem.
"Lin Yun's question is very good, in fact, we have also considered it, but when we saw the soldiers practicing, we saw some bows and arrows made of bamboo, and when we inquired, we found out that they were used to practice bows and arrows for the royal family, and the power of bamboo arrows is still there, so the arrows are also wrapped in cloth to prevent accidental injury." Professor Wu said.
"Sharpen one end of the bamboo and make it into a bamboo arrow, although the power of the bow and arrow is certainly not comparable to that of the iron arrow, but the power is still there, and if the distance is not far, it can still hurt people's lives." Cui Li continued.
"That sounds really good." Lin Yun praised.
This method is really good, it is more flexible than the previous one, it is easy to deal with the battlefield, and the idea is also very novel, although it is formulated on the basis of the original plan, but there are many changes in it, and any change is another different formation.
"How? I'll just say that Professor Wu and I used this method very well, and now you can believe it. Cui Li was very proud.
Looking at the "blackboard" in Cui Li's hand, it seems that there is really hope that he can take Yiling Pass this time. Then we can get out of here. As for the 'mystery man', I'll definitely find him.
Tomorrow is the time of the decisive battle, and when it is time to fight against the 'mysterious man', I can't help but feel nervous, but I still believe that victory will be ours in the end.
