Li Xin and Wen Tai led the army to the Linhuai Plain, but they saw that the Jin army put out a formation, similar to gossip, it seemed that there was a basis for advance and retreat, both offensive and defensive, like a turtle shell, making people have no way to start!

A large number of Jin army's flags fluttered in the sky, and the war drums rumbled non-stop.

Li Xin and Wentai did not know what was going on, and they didn't dare to attack rashly.

At this time, a junior colonel of the Jin army ran out of the position, came to the front line of the Zhao army, and said in a loud voice: "Where is the commander of the Ru army?" General Huan Wen of my family, please ask the commander of your army to come forward for a while! ”

Hearing this, Wen Tai and Li Xin glanced at each other.

"Wentai, what kind of medicine do you say is sold in this Huanwen gourd?" Li Xin was a little confused.

Wentai shook his head and said, "I don't know." At present, the Jin army has encountered such a predicament, helpless on all sides, isolated here, presumably Huan Wen is trying to delay time. For Huan Wen's invitation, the general can ignore it. ”

Hearing this, Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Huan Wen, Renjie also!" For Huan Wen, a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, I have admired it for a long time, and now that the two armies are fighting, since he invited him to the meeting before the war, I can't shirk it, and I can't fall behind! ”

It's not that Li Xin is pedantic, but he really can't break the formation right now.

He knew this eight-door golden lock array, he was familiar with military books, and Li Xin, who knew how to arrange troops, knew the eight-door golden lock array, but he didn't know how to break the formation, so he felt that it was tricky.

Don't joke with the lives of your own soldiers!

Li Xin and Wentai are both generals sent by Shi Min, and their ranks are basically the same, and there is no distinction between priority and subordination, but Li Xin's qualifications are older than Wentai, and Li Xin is a township marquis, and he is higher than Wentai in terms of title, so Li Xin belongs to the chief general of this army.

Soon, Li Xin and Huan Wen each went out of their own positions and met in front of the two armies alone.

The two of them bowed to each other and sat down on the floor.

"General Li Xin, do you know this formation?" Huan Wen pointed to the Eight Golden Lock Array he had set up, squinting his eyes and asked.

"Naturally." Li Xin bowed his head slightly, "The ten ancient formations, the one-word long snake array, the two-dragon water array, the heaven and earth three-talent array, the four-door doudi array, the five-tiger flock formation, the six-ding six-jia array, the seven-star Beidou array, the eight-door golden lock array, the nine-character chain array, and the ten-sided ambush array." This formation placed by the general should be the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation! ”

"Since General Li Xin knows that this is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, is there a way to crack it?"

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said, "Since I know this Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, there is naturally a way to crack it. ”

"Please also ask the general to break the formation!"

Huan Wen swore solemnly: "If the general can break through this formation, he will lead his troops to surrender." If not, please withdraw the soldiers and horses by yourself and let my Jin army survive! ”

"Good!"

Li Xin did not hesitate any longer, but got up and got on his horse and returned to his military formation.

Seeing that Li Xin ran back so quickly, Wen Tai couldn't help but wonder and said, "General, what did Huan Wen say?" ”

"He said that if our army can break through the eight golden lock formations, he will lead the army to surrender, if it can't be broken, he will ask me to lead the army to withdraw and surround them, and let them live."

"How can a general make his own decisions?" Wentai couldn't help but frown.

Li Xin sighed and said, "I really don't dare to make decisions on my own. Therefore I have sent to tell the king, and everything will wait for the king's decision. ”

The Zhao army and the Jin army here in the Linhuai Plain did not dare to act rashly, and Li Xin did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he played this matter to Shi Min.

Shi Min, who learned the news, hurriedly arrived with a team of personal guards, and Qin Mu, Xun Ji and other advisers followed him.

Shi Min will lead the army to fight, and he has his own unique views on the way of the battle formation, but not too many people know this kind of eight-gate golden lock formation, and even fewer know the method of breaking the formation.

It just so happened that among the people present, Qin Mu and Xun Ji both knew how to crack this Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.

"Great King, the minister knows how to crack the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!" Qin Mu said suddenly.

"How to crack?"

"In fact, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array laid by Huan Wen is more like the Bagua Array of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms. The gossip array is rested, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open the eight doors. Enter from the east gate, go to the southwest to break the door, and then open the door from the north, this formation can be broken! "New Bayi m.x81zw

As far as Qin Mu knows, this array was first created by Sun Bin during the Warring States Period, with the above eight gates, to the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang added a command platform in the middle, guarded by archers and infantry, commanding the change of formation, it is generally believed that there are 4416 kinds of changes.

"For a hundred years, the infantry was hard to beat the cavalry".

In the era of cold weapons, the victory or defeat often does not depend on the absolute number of casualties on both sides, but on the morale of the soldiers.

And people are blind, and the so-called courage often depends on whether there are standing comrades around them and whether one side can maintain a complete lineup.

As long as a battle formation is still intact, even if it is besieged, the soldiers around him can give the soldiers the incentive to continue fighting.

As for the battle formation, it is said that they are leaning together, but in fact it is not. It is conceivable that once the two infantry lines fight each other evenly and fight face to face, the overly tight formation will cause one side of the weapon to be unable to swing effectively, while the opponent's Changge has the opportunity to make a single blow to several people.

Therefore, the so-called complete lineup is actually loose, which also gives the Ma Army an opportunity to take advantage of.

The overwhelming superiority of the horse cavalry over the foot soldiers was largely due to its indomitable momentum and powerful impact on the battle line.

The orthodox method of warfare, the so-called "rushing formation", is to fire a hundred horsemen in unison, break through the opponent's battle line from multiple points in the front, and then return to the reverse attack.

The effect of this repeated impact is not to kill, but to make the connection between any two soldiers on the other side in danger of being cut off by a horse at any time, so that a single foot soldier will have the illusion of being isolated, and the whole formation will be destroyed into a plate of scattered sand.

In addition, when the cavalry charges, it is like a sickle cutting wheat, and the extremely high speed causes a huge amount of energy, and once a lone infantry is hit head-on, there will be no chance to block or counterattack.

This fear of death becomes more pronounced under the influence of loneliness, which leads to the loss of the individual's will to fight, and then develops into the defeat of the group.

Stationary cavalry is weak!

The pattern of cavalry attacking infantry is actually full of bluffs.

Since their actual attack range is not larger than that of the foot soldiers, and the presence of their mounts causes the area of attack to be much larger than that of the foot soldiers, they can only use endless running and irregular routes, relying on instantaneous explosive power to attack the unsuspecting, lone foot soldiers.

Once there is a group of infantry with guns and shields, leaning on each other, and waiting for battle, the cavalry will often easily bypass.

Although these "hedgehog soldiers" were difficult to kill, they could not do damage to the cavalry who consciously avoided them, and in fact caused the loss of the actual number of combatants on one side. If they do not move, they are useless; movement, it will loosen and expose flaws. New Bayi m.x81zw

The cavalry rushed back and forth, creating chaos and panic, waiting for the "hedgehog soldiers" to disperse on their own, and then harvesting one by one.

Therefore, although the cavalry's assault route was irregular, in fact it tended to move in a direction with fewer people in front of them and weaker troops.

To sum up, it is the means of the cavalry, which is to impact back and forth between the front and rear ends of the enemy formation; The purpose is to cause panic and chaos. The disadvantage of the step side is that it cannot balance safety and mobility, and it cannot compete with the rider in a dignified manner.

The so-called Bagua Array is actually a means of dealing with the horse army with foot soldiers that have been trained in advance. When the opponent is attacking, consciously give up a vacuum at certain points on the battle line, and lure the cavalry to subconsciously concentrate on these routes.

After it entered the formation, although our formation was broken, it did not disperse, gathering on both sides along the way, giving up space in front of the enemy to charge.

The core of the formation lies in the fact that this path can be determined through prior drills, and through conscious guidance, the opponent's straight line at both ends of the battle formation can become a circular route in the formation under our leadership! Continuous contact and endless enemies will gradually consume the momentum and physical strength of the horse army.

And due to the characteristics of the Ma army itself, they had to charge according to this "safe" route. The so-called "the end of the strong crossbow cannot wear the reckless", as time passes, the enemy forces in the formation will eventually be gradually consumed.

When gossip is said, it is the good deeds who put on a mysterious cloak on the simple military queue.

"Kill!"

After getting Qin Mu's guidance, Shi Min immediately made a decision and ordered Wen Tai to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to break the formation!

In accordance with Qin Mu's instructions, Wentai led his troops to enter from the "Shengmen" in the east, "Xiumen" in the southwest, and "open the door" from the north.

After a hearty battle, the originally tight military formation finally showed its feet, as the so-called embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, one person was timid, and the rest would be timid, and finally were broken by the five thousand Zhao army elite soldiers, and fled in embarrassment!

"Rush me!" Seeing the chaos of the Jin army, Shi Min was overjoyed, and then waved the long sword in his hand and ordered the whole army to attack!

Huan Wen saw that the general trend was gone, so he hurriedly took the soldiers and horses out to kill a bloody road, but it is unknown how many soldiers and horses he brought could survive.
