After a few more words of praise to Tai Hao, Nian Yan continued: "Lord Tai Hao, this official came to Wenchuan City today, and I am deeply pleased to see all the adults who can work together to fight against the Japanese. However, the official found that an important city official was missing, and although the city was not on the coast, it was the key to the fight against the Japanese. ”

Tai Hao asked curiously, "I wonder which city official Lord Nian Yan is talking about?" ”

"Shechuan Castle!" Nian Yan replied, "Although the location of Shechuan City is not in the coastal area, it has also been harassed by the Japanese Invaders, and there are many merchants in the city, and there are many people who sail and do business in the East China Sea, and there are many people who have become pirates and colluded with the Japanese Invaders. The pirate leader Inu Crooked that Lord Taihao said just now, as well as his subordinates next mountain, all came out of Shechuan City. Therefore, this official thinks that we will gather here to discuss how to resist the Japanese, and it is absolutely indispensable for the officials of Shechuan City to participate. ”

Taihao listened to Nian Yan's words, and secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he got the news in advance. He knew the importance of the officials of Shechuan City to the cause of the anti-Japanese war, and he also understood that the reminder of the year was not superfluous.

Tai Hao asked Deputy General Shuangyu, "Lord Shuangyu, did you send a letter to Shechuan City a few days ago?" ”

Shuangyu arched his hand and said: "Back to Lord Taihao, it was the negligence of the lower official, and the lower official immediately wrote another letter of credit and sent it to Shechuan City in the fastest way." ”

Afterwards, Tai Hao continued to ask the adults, "Do you have any suggestions about the anti-Japanese war?" ”

Yu Sheng said: "Since the matter of resisting the Japanese has been led by General Nanzhu to fight against it, we will cooperate seriously." It's just that the official still has one more thing to ask for......"

Tai Hao responded, "What's the matter? Lord Yu Sheng said. ”

Yu Sheng continued: "Just now, Lord Taihao also mentioned the matter of the Japanese warriors, those Japanese warriors are all good at martial arts, and we have encountered them a few times in our Mingchuan City officials, but those soldiers are simply vulnerable in front of them, how to fight against them?" The official also found out that there were more than a dozen Japanese warriors living there on Siming Mountain in Mingchuan City, but our soldiers did not dare to fight easily, and the official originally wanted to ask for help from the chivalrous men on the rivers and lakes, but I don't know if those heroes will help the government fight against the Japanese. Since Lord Taihao is a martial arts master, this official wants to ask Lord Taihao to go to Mingchuan City and get rid of the dozen or so warriors of the Japanese Kingdom, I don't know if it is possible? ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I thought that only Wenchuan City had a hiding place for the Japanese warriors, so to speak, there should be the existence of the Japanese warriors in these cities, and this official can't go to every city, I don't know if there are gangs in Mingchuan City?" ”

Yu Sheng said: "There is a Jiufeng Mountain in the east of Mingchuan City, there are a few knights living on it, I thought they were bandits, but later found that they never robbed the people's property, but only practiced on the mountain, and the official also thought about asking them to help us deal with those widows, but I don't know how to ask, let alone whether they will help the government." ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "It seems that my senior brothers need to come out......"

At that moment, Taihao sent a servant to the Wenchuan City Prison to invite Chaozi and other brothers to the yamen. When Chaozi came to the yamen, he asked Taihao, "Senior brother, what's the matter with coming to us?" You can rest assured, the defense of the Wenchuan City Prison is very good, and there will definitely be no problems. ”

Tai Hao said: "Senior brothers, I called you not because of the defense of Wenchuan City Prison, but because of the fight against the warriors of the Japanese Kingdom. Just now, Lord Yusheng said that there were also more than a dozen Japanese samurai living on Mount Siming in Mingchuan Castle, so I think there should be hiding places for Japanese samurai in several coastal cities. So I thought that we, the brothers, could divide into eight routes, go to each of these cities to train an elite army, find the hiding place of those Japanese warriors, and eradicate them. ”

Hearing Taihao's plan, Chaozi and the other brothers nodded in agreement.

"If there are only a dozen Japanese warriors in a city, give me ten elite soldiers to wipe them all out. Over the years, several of our brothers and sisters have followed our master to fight against the Japanese warriors, and they have also killed a lot, but those Japanese warriors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they came to the Eastern Empire again, killed their master, and their apprentices came to fill the position, and if they killed their apprentices, their apprentices and grandchildren came to fill the position, I really don't know how many samurai they have trained. Chaozi said, "Senior brother, do you have any countermeasures to deal with this situation?" ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment, and then said: "In some cities, there will be gangs in the rivers and lakes, and when you get there, you can contact those gangs first to see if they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the imperial court and fight against those Japanese warriors." After a pause, he said to the officials: "I hope that after you return to your respective cities, you will begin to impose martial law on the whole city, and declare a lockdown of the city, strictly investigate every citizen in the city, and if there is any suspicion, immediately arrest them and put them in prison." Because the pirates will disguise themselves as ordinary people and infiltrate the city, so they must be strictly investigated! ”

Yu Sheng said: "This is exactly what this official wanted to do before, but it was opposed by the merchants in the city, for fear of causing a bigger riot, so it was not implemented." ”

Tai Hao said: "If they are really the subjects of the Eastern Empire, there is no reason to oppose martial law. ”

Nian Yan said: "Lord Taihao is right, in order to prevent those Japanese robbers from pretending to be the subjects of the Eastern Empire from infiltrating the city, it is necessary to seal the city and impose martial law. The official will announce this when he returns to Izumikawa Castle! ”

Officials from several other cities nodded in agreement.

Chaozi asked, "Senior brother, how do we senior brothers arrange it?" You say! ”

Tai Hao said: "Senior Brother Chaozi, there are a total of eight cities, each city is sent to a senior brother, and the remaining three are still in the Wenchuan City Prison, guarding those prisoners, how to divide it, you can arrange it!" ”

Chaozi thought for a moment and said, "That's it...... Senior Brother Puchou went to Suchuan City, Senior Brother Fuyin went to Jintang City, Senior Brother Hou Mao went to Yuechuan City, I went to Mingchuan City, Senior Brother Nongchen went to Taichuan City, Senior Brother Tu Si went to Wenchuan City, Senior Brother Yongwu went to Fuchuan City, and Senior Brother Zhangwei went to Quanchuan City. The three junior brothers Tie Shen, Tai You, and Teng Xu continued to stay in Wenchuan City. What do you guys think? ”

Several senior brothers had no opinion, Tai Hao said: "Then it's decided, tomorrow you can go to your respective cities with your adults, and you will work hard for your senior brothers." ”

Subsequently, Taihao and General Nanzhu brought the officials from the seven cities, as well as Chaozi and other brothers to the Wenchuan City camp.

In order to show his preparations for the anti-Japanese war, General Nanzhu took the newly formed wolf army to practice a set of wolf warrior combat moves, and under his command, set up a set of wolf warrior formations.

After observing carefully, Lei Shan, the general of Fuchuan City, exclaimed: "With this set of combat moves and formations, why worry about the immortality of the Japanese invaders." ”

Lei Shan stepped forward and asked General Nanzhu, "I have seen this kind of weapon in ancient books, it is called a wolf sword, right?" ”

Nanzhu said: "Exactly! ”

"Then can General Nanzhu teach this wolf trick to you?" Lei Shan asked respectfully.

Nanzhu said: "Of course you can! ”

So, under the attention of several other adults, Nanzhu began to teach Lei Shan the fighting moves of the wolf squirrel, and Lei Shan carefully learned one move and one style.

I saw Nanzhu practicing while talking, and every time he said a move, he would make a move. Nanzhu said: "I also learned the battle moves of the wolf from humans, and there are six potentials in total. The first potential is called the middle flat potential, this potential is the bow and the arrow, the yin and yang should turn, the hands should be straight, the push step is like the wind, and the world is invincible. The second potential is called riding the dragon potential, the law of the closed door to ride the dragon, the lower gate is high, and the mistake is like the current drape, and the gentleman is advised to be quick and fast like the wind. The third potential is called the hook open potential, the hook method comes from blocking the gate, the small door falls down and runs forward, if he also makes the low momentum, the gate is divided by Junli. The fourth potential is called the shelf potential, the gun must be used to hit the high, the pipe is on and down when the shelf, the yin and yang are repeatedly like the wind, and the iron pillar King Kong is also afraid. The fifth potential is called the gate down potential, why should the gate be held by the foot, the foot is the starting method, even sit down and rush forward, the top is not the bottom. The sixth potential is called the reluctance to retreat, straight in and out of the king need to remember, standing is the middle of the flat potential, high and low left and right to let the king go, cut the hook gate is not easy. ”

After Lei Shan finished learning, he practiced it twice. As a general, Lei Shan has also led soldiers to fight for many years, and he will also lead soldiers to train in Fuchuan Castle, so he quickly learned the moves of the wolf. Then he asked General Nanzhu, "What kind of formation is the formation that General Nanzhu put up just now?" ”

Nanzhu said slowly: "That set of formations is called the Mandarin Duck Formation, and it is a unique supporting formation of the Wolf Clan. The first team of the Mandarin Duck Formation is eleven soldiers, the first one in the team is the captain, the second two hold a long card, a rattan card, the long card holder holds a long shield to block the heavy arrows and spear attacks of the Japanese Kou, the rattan player holds a light rattan shield and is equipped with javelin, waist knife and other combat weapons, the main function of the long card player and the rattan player is to cover the rear team forward, in addition, the rattan player can also be used for close combat with the enemy. The second is the wolf whiver, holding the wolf whizzard. Then there were four pikemen with spears in their hands, two on each side of the left and right, to take care of the shield bearers and wolf wedgers on the left and right sides of the front. The soldiers who follow are short men with short knives, and if the enemy attacks the back of the formation in a roundabout way, the short soldiers will hold the short knives to stop the enemy. The 'Mandarin Duck Array' not only makes all kinds of weapons closely combined, but also gives full play to the characteristics and advantages of various weapons, and the formation also has the characteristics of being flexible and changeable. Depending on the situation and operational needs, the column and the horizontal formation can be transformed into two small formations on the left and right or three small formations on the left, center, and right. When it becomes two small formations, it is called the 'Two Talent Formation', and the left and right shield players follow the left and right wolf hand, pikemen and short soldiers respectively to protect their attack; When it is changed into three small formations, it is called the 'Sancai Formation', and when this formation is placed, the wolf hand, the pikeman and the short soldier are in the center, and the shield hand is guarding on the left and right sides. The above-mentioned various formation changes are also known as "changing mandarin duck formations". This array has the characteristics of mobility and flexibility, and can give full play to its own advantages and break the advantages of the Japanese invaders. ”

After listening to General Nanzhu's introduction, Lei Shan felt that this set of formations was very practical and could play a great role in the battle. So, he decided to try using the Mandarin Duck Array in future battles to see how it worked.

General Nanzhu looked at Lei Shan listening carefully to the explanation, and was secretly relieved in his heart. He said to Lei Shan: "General Lei Shan, this kind of strict and orderly formation is not something that can be learned overnight, it requires continuous practice and running-in. But as long as you can use these wolf tricks properly, I believe you will be able to win on the battlefield! ”
