Section 2 Battle Formations

Shang Dongzan gathered the elite and came, and while he was still in the formation of the march, he saw the Yu army in the distance forming a wedge-shaped formation and slowly moving forward.

The good and fearless people who were guarding the side of the Tubo Prime Minister clasped their palms together and said: "The leader is what I call a peerless master." ”

Master? Shang Dongzan has not been a master, he fought against the Yu Dynasty in the past, and he has also experienced the demeanor of Yu Fuguo and Cheng Qi who are powerful against thousands of troops. In particular, I have seen the unparalleled stunt of Yufuguo's Yanyang True Qi "Wind and Fire".

Yufu Country's Void Condensation Fire, the power of the rival Wanfu has been seen, Shang Dong Zanjue does not believe that there will be any peerless master who can defeat him.

Not to mention that Shang Dongzan invited a Vajrayana master like Shan Wuxing, Shang Fear, Shang Wanwen and they all have their own backs.

This time, Tubo Zan Purang Dama also brought seven of the thirteen masters of the Yongzhong Bon Sect as guards, and Shang Dongzan was not afraid of high-end combat power alone.

"How is it better than the master?" Shang Dongzan asked.

The martial arts of good and fearless are the Vajrayana secret methods that arose in Tianzhu, which are far from the original Buddhism of Shakya and closer to the Brahmanism of Tianzhu. His patriarch, Nagarjuna, claimed that all the Dharma came from the Dragon King of the Sea.

In the current Nalanda Temple, there are about three masters who were born in Vajrayana. The first person is called Vajra Wisdom, the good and fearless are in second place, and the one who is not empty is accompanied by the last seat.

Good and fearless practice of the subtle martial arts in the "Treatise on Great Wisdom", he has already practiced the so-called "immovable king deity" in the Vajra Mystic Vehicle, and has also practiced the so-called "non-emptiness as if to hide" in the "Madhyamaka Theory".

Tianzhu Buddhism, originally originated from Shakyamuni, to more than 200 years later, the rise of Mahayana, its teachings for a change, and later through the Western Regions to the Middle Earth is this religion.

By now, the prevailing trend is Tantra, which is mixed with many Brahmanical ideas.

In other words, if Shakyamuni were reincarnated and saw today's monks, most of them would not know that these people were their own disciples.

Of course, don't laugh at the eldest brother and the second brother, the same thing can be applied to Lao Dan.

Good and fearless are proficient in the mystery of "not empty as to hide", and that Luo Yan deduced the "fluctuation free method" from this "not empty as to hide", and the good and fearless remote sensing was alarming, only to feel that the martial arts of the first person in the opposite cavalry were above himself.

"If it's a one-man confrontation, it's probably between four or six. Shan Wudaunt said: "This person's martial arts should be slightly better than mine." ”

Shang Dongzan nodded, if it was as good and fearless as he said, then it would be natural for his thousand soldiers to be defeated by this one.

A god of war like Lu Bu needs the three heroes to work together, and whatever generals Pan Feng and Wu Anguo are sent to deliver food.

"In that case, please also ask the master to resist this fang. Shang Dong praised: "Don't let him slaughter too much." ”

Here is a great master like Shan Wudaunt, Shang Dongzan then made arrangements, and the person who is now the leader of the army on the opposite side is Yu Fuguo, and immediately made a way to deal with it.

First, the whole army was ordered to change its formation, from a marching column to a horizontal formation, and the elite cavalry was divided into two wings, the left and right, and each wing was divided into two groups, the front and the rear. Such a configuration prevents enemy troops from making roundabouts and copying their flanks.

Although there are only three hundred people on the opposite side, no matter how much detour there is, there will not be much of a threat, but since there is a big master on the other side, Shang Dongzan is willing to put in more effort.

The central line of defense is arranged according to one layer of archers, one layer of sword players, another layer of archers, and another layer of pikemen, and each column is about ten paces in front and back, which is to open up space to weaken the impact of the enemy.

If the other party has a master, he also has to deal with it according to the situation, if it is an ordinary master or even a congenital master, and he forms a turtle formation on his side, with bows and crossbows and spears and axes, then it is not easy for him to gnaw.

If the enemy's martial arts are higher than the average innate master, and you are replaced by a master of the level of good and fearless, you will only increase the killing efficiency of others.

Shang Dongzan's tactics are also very simple, that is, to stretch the central front thicker and use it to grind out the impact of the Yu army's cavalry.

Waiting for the good and fearless to entangle the emperor, and slowly harvesting the cavalry that rushed over with the emperor, these three hundred people are not all innate masters.

After cleaning up the guards around the strong enemy, slowly teach the opponent who is strong in martial arts a lesson.

Shang Dongzan's idea must be described as thoughtful, this set of experience that the Tubo army has summed up in the confrontation with Yufuguo for so many years, and it will probably work if it is changed to Li Xu.

However, the facts clearly told Shang Dongzan, I'm sorry, you think too much.

Although Shang Dongzan's subordinates quickly completed the transformation from marching columns to horizontal formations, and also lined up their ranks according to his instructions, the same set used against the Yufu Kingdom was not very effective against the emperor.

The Tibetan archers pulled out the single bow in their hands, replaced them with heavy arrows, and hurried two rounds into the sky. Thick, sharp clusters of heavy arrows streaked across the sky and hurled at the charging Yu knights.

The knights behind the emperor untied their round shields and held them above their heads, blocking all the arrows thrown from the sky.

Of course, there are some unlucky knights who have been hit on the hood or armor on their heads by arrows falling from the sky, but they are well-armed and such feathered arrows cannot break through the defenses.

The real misfortune was a few riders who had the misfortune to let the arrow hit the head and neck of the warhorse, and with the whimper and wail of the warhorse, they also fell to the ground.

War always has to pay some price, and the emperor rushed over with a double-headed spear in his hand. The feather arrows shot by the Tibetan army were too slow in the eyes of the emperor, and the cavalry spear in his hand was gently pulled away.

There were only a dozen Yu Dynasty knights in two or three rounds of throwing, and the brigade still successfully passed through the shooting of the Tibetan archers and approached the main formation of the Tibetan army.

With the sound of drums, the archers of the Tibetan army fired a final round of feather arrows, this time aiming at the Yu army's unarmored horses, and then shooting down some of the knights of the Shence army.

After completing this round of shooting, the archers of the Tibetan army quickly ran backwards, and took out their protective battle axes or long knives from their backs.

Anyone who can shoot a strong bow is actually the elite of the army. If you don't have enough arm strength and waist strength, you can't be a shooter. Therefore, in addition to being good at using bows, archers are often good at practicing long knives and axes.

When Li Xu's English yeoman farmers in his previous life served as mercenaries for the British king, in addition to the famous purple shirt wooden longbow, they were also good at playing big axes.

As soon as the archers retreated, they were followed by a neat array of guns, and the tips of Bai Sensen's spears reflected the midday sun, shaking the horses so that they did not dare to move forward. The riders of the Divine Army, who were originally galloping, immediately fell into passivity.

The archers with bows on their backs hid behind the pikemen with knives and axes to act as their close guards, and the original gunner array immediately changed from the original "one" shaped horizontal team to the "V" shape after Li Xu led the cavalry to disperse the archers, consciously restricting the riders of the Yu army, and using the length of the spear in his hand to assassinate the riders around Li Xu.

The quality of the Tibetan army at this moment really made Li Xu appreciate. The archers did not panic when they encountered the cavalry, they could enter the back of the pikemen in an orderly manner without disturbing the formation of the pikemen, and they could also actively act as the pikemen's guards.

And the pikemen can take the initiative to change the formation, surround the cavalry led by themselves, and make them fall into passivity, such initiative is even rarer. It is no wonder that the Tubo people were able to invade Guanzhong repeatedly before, and they were really slightly superior in the quality and skills and tactics of the soldiers.

As for the soldiers of the Shence Army behind him, after being counterattacked by the Tubo army, they obviously fell into a state of panic, and they suddenly became a little at a loss.

But fortunately, the tip of their wedge formation is Li Xu.

"Open. The emperor roared, a war horse approached a few steps forward, and knocked the double-headed cavalry spear in his hand one by one on the mulberry spear in the hand of the Tubo pikeman in front of him.

With a shake of his backhand, the emperor stabbed out nearly a hundred spears between the lightning and flint, killing all the dozen spearmen within the reach of the spear in front of him, and tearing a hole in the horizontal formation of the Tibetan army with his own strength.
