"General Cao, it's not good, it's not good. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The prime minister hurriedly ran down the city wall, at this time Cao Xinyang had just gone from the barracks to the city gate to check the military situation, and before he got to the top, he saw the prime minister running down in a hurry. Cao Xinyang said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, what's wrong, why are you here." Chen Shun'an said: "General, the old man just saw on the city wall that the enemy army has arrived at the city and is arranging a formation, so you should quickly send troops to meet the enemy." Cao Xinyang said with a worried face: "The prime minister is out of reach, I have heard about their affairs under the city on the road, and now it is too late to wait for reinforcements, and they have little food and grass left, as long as we consume it, we will win, and now I will immediately arrange the city defense." The prime minister said: "Okay, okay, I'll go into the palace to report the situation here to the emperor." After seeing off the prime minister, Cao Xinyang hurriedly walked around the city, comforted the wounded soldiers, and checked the equipment and some equipment of the soldiers defending the city.

In the enemy camp outside the city, someone reported to Jerodah, saying, "General, the great array has been set up, and it is only until they go out of the city to die, and these soldiers are all skilled in the formation." The person who reported this was none other than the deputy general under Zheng Tong before, Yeluda said happily: "Okay, if you take the capital, this general will definitely reward you heavily." The man was naturally happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface, and then Yeluda said: "I just don't know if there is a flaw in your formation, if they have capable people to break this formation, it will not be worth the loss." The adjutant general said: "General rest assured, I have been deducing this formation for many years, the essence of this formation has been transformed into yin and yang, how can they find the key place of the team in this vast sea of people, besides, our soldiers are not different at all, they are all wearing the same uniforms, but in the formation, they themselves and I know the mysteries of this formation." When Jeroda heard this, he was relieved, and said, "Well, then you will have no worries, and in two hours you will take the men to call for battle, and keep calling until they come out." ”

In the palace, the emperor listened to the prime minister talk about the current military situation, he was very anxious, thinking that the capital was very dangerous now, so he called Cao Xinyang, and at the same time he also summoned Youyun soldiers into the palace. After the emperor asked Cao Xinyang to explain the current situation, he said: "General Cao, now that the enemy has set up a military formation, he just wants us to attack, you see what to do now." "Actually, to put it bluntly, it was the emperor who gave Cao Xinyang a problem, and now it's not good to do anything, but he also has to let Cao Xinyang come up with a countermeasure. Cao Xinyang said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is not very good, if we attack them now, I am afraid that we will not be able to break the military formation, and we will suffer heavy losses, if we do not fight, we must send soldiers to guard the city day and night, in case they sneak attack from everywhere, so that the soldiers can not rest well, they can only take turns guarding day and night, so that the city defense force is bound to weaken, according to the last general's opinion, it is better to go out of the city and try to fight a fight, break his formation, what kind of formation does this Liao people know, although I am not proficient in the formation, but I can't keep it together, we have capable people in the court." The emperor said: "Well, okay, you are right, you can give it a try, and now there is no good way, now I have to give it a try, Prime Minister, now you will give an order, all civil and military officials and people in the capital, as long as they know the formation, can recommend themselves." At this time, the boss said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we should not send troops to attack them, if we defend the city, we are somewhat sure, and it is not so easy to break the formation." The emperor said: "Hey, Aiqing, it's all the same now, if we can find a master who understands the military formation, I think it will be better for us to take the initiative to attack." "When this Youyun soldier saw that he couldn't stop the emperor, he couldn't say anything, and besides, they didn't know what to do, but they just felt that it would be dangerous if they attacked rashly.

Soon there were many people who knew the military formation to the barracks to find Cao Xinyang, Cao Xinyang had already ordered someone to draw a lot of pictures of the other party's military formation, and in the barracks he circulated the pictures to everyone, and everyone said their thoughts after reading them, and some people didn't even understand this kind of military formation. In the end, Cao Xinyang comprehensively summarized the way to break the formation from some very reliable methods, and planned to send troops to give it a try. Cao Xinyang saw the emperor and discussed the matter with the emperor, the emperor agreed very much, so he planned to send troops the next day, at this time the Youyun soldiers came to the palace and met the emperor, the boss said: "Your Majesty, since the troops will be sent tomorrow, it is better for our brothers to be the forwards, so that General Cao is in the main tent, and then some generals and soldiers will be killed with us. When they said this, the emperor was very happy and said, "Okay, just do it." The eldest and they returned to the Horse Mansion, and the eldest sighed: "Brothers, tomorrow you don't know life and death, are you ready?" The second brother said: "Brother, where are you talking about it, I want us to be born and die back then, it is appropriate to think about retreating, when we are afraid, tomorrow we should fight bravely to kill the enemy." Everyone nodded, in fact, everyone understood that this battle was actually very dangerous.

The next day, Cao Xinyang sent a large army out of the city to fight against the enemy, this Youyun soldiers bore the brunt, in front of them, they each ordered some soldiers and horses, let them follow half a mile behind, Cao Xinyang watched them charge in the army, and couldn't help but sigh at their bravery. Cao Xinyang was also always waiting to order the army to rush over, this Youyun soldier entered the formation, according to the way that Cao Xinyang knew before, arrived at the designated position, killed a lot of soldiers, and they also rushed into the formation, at this time Cao Xinyang just wanted to order the charge, at this time the prime minister said on the side: "General, wait, something is wrong." Cao Xinyang stopped, looked carefully, and soon the enemy's army was moving, Youyun soldiers were very clever, and all the cavalry rushed towards the infantry, and soon, they found that their original location was surrounded by shield soldiers and pikemen, and those soldiers who followed them were killed, and they were very sad, but now they were deeply encircled, and the boss ordered: "Go quickly." Then these soldiers broke out, someone in this army formation commanded with a flag, the boss saw it, stopped, pulled out an arrow and shot the one who held the flag, taking advantage of this gap, Youyun soldiers have rushed out of the periphery of the military formation, at this time someone replaced the soldier who conveyed the military order, at this time the boss found that his body sank and fell. Lao Jiu turned around and saw that the boss was under siege, and shouted: "It's not good, big brother, let's save big brother quickly." After saying that, the Youyun soldier turned back and killed the army.
