Chapter 80: A Long Snake Formation

With Li Dao regrouping all the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang generals, there are now 240,000 in Chang'an City, of which Li Dao has 100,000, Guo Yan has 70,000, Zhang Ji 40,000, and other generals add up to 30,000.

If you add the 70,000 troops before Li Li and Fan Silk, the Xiliang army will have 310,000, and I am afraid that it is still the first prince in the world.

However, although there are many soldiers in the Xiliang Army today, their combat power is not as good as before, and they have not fought and trained in the past few years.

Some veterans have also been added, and they are still in the army, but Li Dao Guo Yan will not care about these, as long as he says that there are still so many soldiers and horses in the Xiliang army, who would dare to confront them.

If it weren't for Liu Bowen to let Emperor Xian unite with Ma Teng, Han Sui and Liu Yan of Yizhou, plus the strength of the family, Ma Teng would not have sent troops easily.

After all, there is no history like this, there was a famine in the Xiliang area, and the Xiliang generals fought each other, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the Xiliang army.

At dusk, Yang Su took Ma Teng Han Sui's 50,000 soldiers and horses to Chang'an City and began to set up camp.

After Yang Su defeated Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals in the army in front of Ma Teng Han Sui, and Ma Teng Han Sui knew the ability of the family, so they decided to let Yang Su command the soldiers and horses.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were naturally not worried that Yang Suwei would use their soldiers and horses as spearmen, they also had their own judgments that felt wrong, and they could choose not to obey Yang Su's orders.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Xiliang generals stood outside the city gate, and at a glance, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses were not preparing to attack the city, but had been arranging their troops.

Guo Yan looked at Li Dao in confusion and asked, "What do you say Ma Teng is going to do, all the troops are coming to the city, and they don't attack the city directly?"

General Li Wei held the weapon in his waist and laughed: "I'm afraid I'm afraid of the strength of our Xiliang army, so it's better to let people go and call for battle tomorrow to suppress their morale first."

Zhang Xiu always wanted to express himself, so he hurriedly stood up and said to Li Dao: "Tomorrow, the last general is willing to go, and he will definitely let the future come, and there will be no return."

"Hahaha, good! Zhang Xiu will be up to you to take the lead tomorrow. When Li Dao and Guo Yan heard this, they immediately laughed, and Li Dao said to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's face was full of excitement, he had always been suppressed by his uncle Zhang Ji, and he had never gone to kill the enemy as a general.

Zhang Ji had an ugly face, but he knew that Ma Teng's son Ma Chao's martial arts were likely to be stronger than Zhang Xiu, and his nephew was like a stunned young man, always wanting to show himself.

Zhang Ji couldn't help but be a little worried, it can be seen that Li Dao has recognized him to fight, and for the sake of Li Dao's face, he can't easily change it.

I had no choice but to look at Zhang Xiu with a calm face and said: "Xiu'er, although you are known as the "Gun King of the North" and the teacher of the gun prodigy Yuan, you must also know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and you can't be righteous!" ”

Zhang Xiu originally received Li Ji's order, he was very happy, and he looked proud, but when he heard Zhang Ji's words, he naturally didn't take it to heart, but when he saw his uncle's face was ugly, he said very reluctantly: "I know!"

Zhang Ji didn't look at Zhang Xiu, he didn't know Zhang Xiu's reaction, he just nodded with satisfaction, and he was ready, once Zhang Xiu couldn't beat him, he would immediately bring someone to rescue, and it was impossible for Zhang Xiu to lose anything.

When night fell, the night kept stretching out its hands to drive away all the light, and at this moment, it was pitch black between heaven and earth.

In the sky, there was infinite starlight sprinkled, and there was silence at this time, and only the soldiers in Chang'an City took turns looking at the Ma Teng military camp in the distance.

The general of Xiliang may not know that the current coalition army on the side of Ma Teng is led by Yang Su, the representative of the Guanzhong family, and this news is only known to Li Wei.

But Li Dao didn't plan to say it, first, he didn't feel that there was a need for it, and the difference between knowing and not knowing was not very big.

Second, Li Dao felt that they should not be let know, after all, the current strength of the family is so strong, in case a general knows that they have so many soldiers and horses, it is very likely to take refuge in the family.

Third, the Xiliang generals didn't know, but Li Dao knew that he could use these to eradicate them and bring all the soldiers and horses under his command, and he wanted to be the second Dong Zhuo!

Fourth, Li Wei holds the Son of Heaven in his hands, and he is not afraid of what the family will do to him, but as long as he destroys the soldiers and horses of the outside family, then even the family will not have the strength to resist him, and he will kill many birds with one stone.

At this time, in the Ma Teng coalition camp, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing entered the tent of the Chinese army camp at the same time, and when they saw Yang Su, they clasped their fists and shouted: "Alliance leader, our soldiers have grasped the basic formation of the formation."

"Really?"

Ma Chao hurriedly stood up and took the lead in saying, "Tomorrow they will definitely be killed without a piece of armor."

Yang Su looked at Pang De and Yan Xing, nodded, and said with a confident smile: "Okay, I didn't expect that in a day and a half, I would master the formation of the Long Snake Formation, and if I listen to my command tomorrow, I will definitely defeat them."

Yang Su looked at the three of them, his heart was full of satisfaction, they were all generals, since ancient times, good generals are rare, and Yang Su is also appreciative.

Before, Yang Su asked 20,000 soldiers of the family to train a long snake formation, but it took two days to grasp it.

But Ma Chao and they only used a day and a half, and they still practiced while marching, Yang Su felt that the soldiers on both sides were similar, and the worse ones were probably the generals.

Yang Su has always felt that his family is already the head of the Guanzhong family, even the Sima family can't compare to the Yang family in some aspects, so he is the one who wants to get the power under one person the most.

Yang Su has great ambitions, so big that he just wants to be a regent like Yi Yin Huoguang, after all, under the education of his father Yang Biao, he doesn't have much ambition, at most, that's it.

Yang Biao's loyalty to the Han family is not weaker than that of the dead Sikong Wang Yun, he has always been helping the Son of Heaven, although it is also for the Yang family to be appreciated by the Son of Heaven, but this is enough.

"Alliance leader, I don't know where this formation came from, as far as I can see, this formation may maximize our abilities." Ma Chao sensed the power of the Long Snake Formation and said with great interest.

Ma Chao's words pulled Yang Su's train of thought back, and he didn't hide his secrets, and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the strange book "The Art of War"?"

Ma Chao's face turned red suddenly, he was not interested in these military books at all, he was only interested in leading soldiers to fight and his marksmanship.

"Could it be a strange book written by the soldier saint Sun Wu, including a book of many formations and strategies, it is said that there is no complete article now, only a fragment." Pang De's eyes lit up, and he asked Yang Su excitedly.

Yan Xing is a person with few words, very honest, not good at words, and at this time, his eyes are also shining at Yang Su.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect this book to be recognized by Ling Ming, this is what I got from the family, it is said that Sun Wu deduced it according to the practice of the snake, and then wrote it in the "Formation Chapter" just happened to be obtained by the Yang family, and it has been kept at home for the disciples to read. ”
