Chapter 178: Prince Qiqi, understand a little

Li Feng was annoyed at first.

Chen Changfeng injured his right arm, not to mention, he also plotted against himself with the death of the Nine Emperor Princes, this hatred Li Fengxian will not forget.

Today, the three princes of the Ming Dynasty are looking for their own death, and they want to test the military formation with them, but Li Fengxian does not plan to let him go.

The third prince frowned, he knew Li Fengxian's bravery, and his so-called skills could only be regarded as three-legged cat kung fu in front of Li Fengxian.

So when he walked out of the military formation, he also led Liu Shenyan and other thirteen generals, just to protect himself from being attacked by Li Fengxian.

"Li Fengxian, you still dare to come out, this prince thinks you will be scared and dare not show up, how about it, the injury on your arm is healed?" The third prince reined in the horse's head and stopped ten meters away from Li Fengxian.

Liu Shenyan and the others beside him looked at Li Fengxian even more vigilantly.

Li Fengxian saw the appearance of the three princes and others, and smiled jokingly, compared with Chen Changfeng's courage, this so-called three princes of the Ming Dynasty is really useless.

Chen Changfeng dared to face him face to face alone, and the three princes of the Ming Dynasty with thirteen generals did not dare to approach him.

"Even if the injury is not healed, it is still more than enough to clean you up."

"Say, how do you want to compare?" Li Fengxian's face turned cold.

The eyes of the three princes looked at Liu Shenyan on the side, he did not move the soldiers, and the soldiers could only rely on Liu Shenyan for a duel.

Liu Shenyan drove his horse two meters forward and stopped, staring at Li Fengxian in front of him: "The battle of the troops, divided into two sides, the number of test matches is not limited, until one side admits defeat." ”

"As for who attacks and who defends, we alternate, since we are the side of the war, it is up to you to choose whether to attack or defend first."

"That's not bullying you."

"Okay, this first game, our Da Chu will attack first, Liu Shenyan, you have to guard your turtle shell." Li Fengxian didn't say a word, but directly agreed.

After that, he immediately turned the horse's head and returned to the Great Chu army formation.

The quick and simple agreement made Liu Shenyan feel a little surprised.

But Liu Shenyan knew that Xu Gongmao, the master of the Great Chu Formation, was still in the capital of Great Chu, so no matter who the Great Chu sent out, he Liu Shenyan didn't care.

Returning to his own military formation, Liu Shenyan looked at the three princes: "Your Royal Highness, the last general needs 20,000 elite soldiers to arrange the square array. ”

The Three Princes of the Fang Yuan Formation knew that it was one of the best formations among the defensive formations.

Without several times the strength of your own side, it is impossible to break through the defense of the Fangyuan Array.

Liu Shenyan used this array to deal with the Southern Army of the Great Chu Expedition, and there would definitely be no mistakes.

"Go ahead." The third prince smiled and nodded, and in the afterglow, he saw Chen Changfeng standing side by side with Chen Qingzhi on horseback.

Chen Changfeng also looked over, and the third prince snorted coldly and turned his head.

"Prince, this Liu Shenyan's formation skills are very good, I think there should be no problem in this battle." Chen Qingzhi looked at Chen Changfeng.

Chen Changfeng retracted his gaze: "Li Fengxian is not a fool, he would not know Liu Shenyan's ability?" ”

"But he so readily agreed to the battle of the soldiers, what do you think would be the reason?"

Chen Qingzhi was stunned, and then reacted quickly: "What does the prince mean, Li Feng has a second hand?" ”

Chen Changfeng didn't answer, his eyes fell on the battlefield in front of him.

The 20,000 Ming border troops quickly formed a large array, and Liu Shenyan rode a horse and stood in the center of the formation.

The periphery of the Ming Dynasty soldiers are deployed layer by layer, with spears, bows and arrows outside, and mobile troops inside.

The entire formation is extremely dense.

"Li Fengxian, come and break the formation." Liu Shenyan's voice resounded on the battlefield.

Li Fengxian could see at a glance that Liu Shenyan was putting on a square circle array known as a turtle shell, and anger flashed on his face.

This square circle array is comparable to a turtle shell, unless it is to exhaust the grain and grass on the opposite side and let it break itself, if you want to attack, I am afraid that you will lose a large number of soldiers.

Liu Shenyan came up with such a military formation, thinking that he wanted to take advantage of their Great Chu expedition to the southern army.

But Li Fengxian is not a fool, originally he still wanted to let others try Liu Shenyan's level first, and then let Xu Gongmao go into battle.

Now......

"Elder Xu, this Liu Shenyan wants to use turtle shell tactics to deal with us, does Elder Xu have a clever plan?" Li Fengxian's eyes fell on Xu Gongmao.

Xu Gongmao didn't speak, but waved to the child behind him, Xu Gongmao sat in a small wheelchair cart and was pushed forward by the child.

"Pass on my military order, 5,000 iron cavalry led by General Yan Chou, straight to the opponent's central army, the left and right flanks of spearmen and shields to resist the pressure of the enemy, and the archers to suppress the left and right flanks of the enemy with arrows." Xu Gongmao's small wheelchair stopped in front of the formation.

The herald waved the battle flag, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Southern Army of the Great Chu Expedition quickly assembled.

"Prince, isn't this a sharp arrow array, but it doesn't seem to be the same, and it feels like a fish scale array." Chen Qingzhi looked at the formation of the Great Chu Expedition Southern Army, and his face showed doubt.

Cavalry is paired with infantry, which is the basic formation of the fish scale formation.

But it was the cavalry that attacked in front, and it was the main general who led it, which was somewhat similar to the front and arrow formation.

"Who's that old guy?" Chen Changfeng pointed to Xu Gongmao on the opposite side and asked.

Chen Qingzhi shook his head, he hadn't seen that person either.

"This person should be Xu Gongmao, the master of the military array of Great Chu." Xue Rengui stood aside and whispered.

"He's Xu Gongmao?" Chen Qingzhi's face showed surprise.

Chen Changfeng only understood at this moment why Li Fengxian would so firmly agree to compete with the troops of the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Gongmao, as the world's master of formation, has no one to beat him.

Compared with him, Liu Shenyan is basically an egg touching a stone.

"Kill!"

Chu Jiang Yan Chou shouted, holding two mountain-opening axes, and went straight to the Fang Yuan array of Liu Shenyan of the Ming Dynasty.

The 5,000 cavalry behind him rushed forward like a huge wave.

Liu Shenyan's face in the center of the square circle changed slightly, and he had already seen Xu Gongmao beside Li Fengxian.

He thought that Xu Gongmao was still in the capital of Great Chu, so he was so confident in competing with Li Fengxian to test the formation.

But I didn't expect it......

Liu Shenyan was a little worried in his heart, but at this moment he had no way out.

Yan Chou, the general of the Great Chu in front of him, came straight to his Chinese army, swept left and right with a pair of sharp axes, and killed the soldiers of the Ming border army on their backs.

Many soldiers even had their shields split in half by Yan Chou.

"The Chinese spearmen intercepted, and the left and right flanks shrank to ......the middle," Liu Shenyan's order was conveyed.

"It's not good!" Chen Changfeng's sudden sentence made Chen Qingzhi stunned.

"No, I think Liu Shenyan's command is very effective, the Chinese army stopped the attack of the Great Chu generals, and killed a lot of their cavalry, at least more than five hundred." Chen Qingzhi looked ahead and said suspiciously.

He didn't know why Chen Changfeng said that the situation was not good.

He didn't see it at all, anyway.

"The left and right wings were forced to rescue the Chinese army, and the two wings were originally ready to encircle and suppress the enemy army, but because of the retreat, the left and right wings gradually became weak, and sooner or later they will be defeated." Xue Rengui's voice came faintly.

Chen Qingzhi was stunned again, and then looked at Chen Changfeng.

"Xue Rengui, do you know the military formation?" Chen Changfeng looked at Xue Rengui with a look of surprise on his face.

"Prince Qiyu, understand a little." Xue Rengui arched his hand and said.

"Then you say, how can Liu Shenyan avoid the formation being broken?" Chen Changfeng felt that this Xue Rengui was a bit not simple.

"The spearmen are in front, and the cavalry is behind, attacking the enemy's flanks, rather than confronting the Great Chu cavalry head-on." Xue Rengui arched his hand and said.

Chen Changfeng nodded slightly, looking at Xue Rengui with admiration.

If this firehead army can figure out how to redeem the defeat at this moment, it must have a certain amount of research on this formation.

"Xue Rengui, you are very good, stay by my side in the future and obey orders." Chen Changfeng smiled.
