Chapter 16: Martial Arts Fighting Array
The gate of the six hanging peaks stands upright, and the blazing torch shines as night as day. On the lintel lay two eagles, and beside them hung an iron cage full of long snakes, and when the eagles neighed, they would withdraw a snake from the cage and swallow it.
Zhou Yi went up the mountain with the farmer, and when he arrived at the door, a few warriors with swords came to search his body, if ordinary people saw such a scene, he was afraid that he would not dare to step into the six hanging peaks for the rest of his life.
After passing the pass, it was already midnight, and the two of them stayed on the mountain. Zhou Yi was already exhausted after several days of traveling, because the farmer warned him not to go out at night, otherwise he would be immediately executed if he was caught. After thinking about it, Zhou Yi had to stay temporarily.
On the fifth watch of the next day, Zhou Yi got up early and followed a path into the backyard of Liuhang Peak.
There was a martial arts arena in the backyard, and Zhou Yi heard from a distance that there were military generals practicing on horseback. He hid behind a bamboo forest and carefully watched everything in the martial arts arena.
In Russia, a woman dressed as a warrior and with a delicate face walked out of the rear of the road, and everyone saluted respectfully when they saw her.
The girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looks like everyone's daughter in terms of temperament, but her dress covers the charm of Qingling Yuxiu, and she looks a little masculine. Zhou Yi remembered the farmer's words last night and guessed that this was Wu Xin, the daughter of Wu Ye.
Seeing her holding the command flag in her hand and waving it left and right, the generals immediately changed their formation, divided into two teams, and put on a scene of offensive and defensive confrontation.
"Attack!"
The girl gave the order, and a group of samurai divided into two teams and attacked the defending side.
"Change!"
The girl's second order was issued, and the defending side became a front and a rear team, the front team was attacked instead of defended, and the position was advanced to the front of the opponent's formation, and the shield soldier erected a shield and cast a fortress so that the opponent could not take a step forward, and at the same time the spear was pierced out to suppress the momentum of the opponent's forward attack.
The girl waved the command flag again, and a group of people in the back row suddenly turned into two teams, respectively from the left and right flanks to the opponent's squadron, instantly cutting off the way for its forward to retreat, so that the offensive and defensive momentum was instantly changeable!
The war drums sounded, and the original defending side was divided into three teams to surround the opponent's striker at the core, and attacked and retreated, and after some deduction, won a big victory.
The girl looked proud, and ordered her to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and defeated the invading soldiers with the momentum of destruction.
Zhou Yi saw clearly behind the bamboo forest, training samurai like this, its excellence lies in substituting offense for defense, presumably Wu Ye is to prevent trouble before it happens, so that the soldiers focus on training the formation of defending the city. Moreover, he is in the sixth hanging peak, standing in danger, and the advantages of this set of formations are also particularly prominent. From this point of view, this girl must be Wu Xin.
Zhou Yi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and walked towards the martial arts arena.
The girl was Wu Ye's only daughter, her name was Wu Xin, fifteen years old, and Zhou Yi was one year old.
Zhou Yi laughed loudly, and immediately attracted several warriors with swords. The warrior surrounded him, and two cold blades drove directly to Zhou Yi's neck. Wu Xin looked at the past, he was a young and handsome young man, his age was roughly the same as her, and Zhou Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyebrows revealed a free and fearless pride, without the slightest weak and cowardly look, which made her quite kind.
"Bring him here!"
Wu Xin gave a look, and the few warriors who were forced to fight each other with knives immediately put away their knives and escorted Zhou Yi to the side of the platform.
The two looked at each other, and Zhou Yi always had a smile on her face, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"A scholar, so far for fun!"
"Do you know that outsiders who don't want to see it here are only dead ends!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he laughed.
"Are you afraid that someone will steal your formation?"
As soon as he said it, he shook his head and slapped his belly and laughed.
"It would be a terrible thing for me to die because of this!"
"What do you mean?" Wu Xin looked angry, and then stood up.
"If it is a lost formation of the deceased, I will be convicted because of it, but I will die without regrets," Zhou Yi couldn't help but want to laugh again, looked at Wu Xin's face, and endured it a little, "It's a pity, I can crack the formation at the age of three, and now someone actually regards it as a treasure, secretly training in this compound, I accidentally saw it when I strayed into this place, and I had to die for it, this death is too unjust!"
Several deputy generals on the side of the stage were angered by his words, and someone pulled out a long sword, grabbed Zhou Yi's clothes, and pulled him out to correct the Fa.
"Stop!"
Wu Xin broke off drinking, and the deputy general had no choice but to let Zhou Yi go.
The general turned back to Wu Xin and said, "This poor and sour talent is in vain, why didn't Miss let me kill him?"
Wu Xin said: "Killing a scholar is afraid that people will laugh at me, I want to see what he is capable of and dare to say this." ”
She turned around and looked Zhou Yi up and down, seeing that he was still not afraid, and he was by no means a madman, so she said to him coldly: "If you can break my formation, I will spare your life! If you can't do it, this girl will cut your tongue with her own hands!"
"I only need five people to break your formation!"
Zhou Yi didn't stop talking, so he went to the crowd and selected four people to come out.
Wu Xin was taken aback, and saw that the four people he chose were not reckless men with fierce bodies, but lean knights with high spirits.
This set of formations was created by Wu Xin, and the foundation of his life is to guard the Six Hanging Peaks, and when there are forces in the rivers and lakes attacking the Six Hanging Peaks, he can change the offensive and defensive momentum. But Wu Xin himself is very clear about the flaws of this formation, so Zhou Yi selected these four cavalrymen to fight on flat ground and apply a contingency of play, so it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said.
Zhou Yi looked at her with low eyebrows, smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said: "Don't blame the girl for being abrupt, this fifth place, the girl has to go into battle herself!"
Everyone was taken aback, if Wu Xin went into battle, the people under him would have some reservations, so how could they try their best to fight?
Wu Xin saw through everyone's thoughts, and ordered the generals: "If you dare not fight hard, you will correct the law on the spot!"
Everyone was ordered to set up the formation, and the front and rear teams still responded to the battle.
Zhou Yi held the order flag and stood in front of the platform, ordering Wu Xin to arch the opponent in front of him, and the other four people were on standby.
Wu Xin straddled the horse, held a spear, broke a shout, and went straight to the opponent's forward attack, and after the opponent's front team conjured up a shield soldier, he immediately reined in his horse, showing a slight retreat. The opponent's front team pursued the situation, and because they were afraid of Wu Xin's sentence 'Those who dare not fight hard, correct the law on the spot', so they all fought with each other. In this way, the front pair killed too fiercely, and before the rear team could react, Zhou Yi sent the remaining four people, straddled the light horse, stabbed obliquely, and directly hit the reinforcements of the rear team in the gap between the two teams in front and behind the opponent. In this formation, the rear team only caters to the front and fight the second attack, so there is no defense, and under the rapid blitz of these four people, the formation is instantly chaotic.
Zhou Yi immediately gave a second order, ordering the two to stabilize the rear team, and the other two to raid the front team behind them. The front team was attacked from behind, so they hurriedly returned to defense. Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and then ordered Wu Xin to meet the head-on attack, and after three or five battles, the opponent's formation was in chaos, and the rout was immediately revealed. When Zhou Yi was about to issue the fourth general order, he was stopped by Wu Xin shaking his hand, and it was obvious that this set of formations had been broken by him with five weak forces.
Zhou Yi handed over the order flag and bowed deeply, "If it weren't for the girl to take the lead, this game would be really difficult to crack, but this is where the flaws of the girl's formation lie, the way of using soldiers, the most expensive thing is changing, please forgive me for the crime of unintentional offense!"
Before Wu Xin could speak, several big men on the left and right surrounded Zhou Yi.
"Presumptuous! Isn't it enough to be ugly!" Wu Xin shouted back left and right, telling everyone to retreat, and only two or three sentries were on the left and right to obey the order.
"It's not surprising that you can break my formation, I am guarding the six hanging peaks, not the plains, so when it comes to the war, I am sure of victory. ”
"Really?" the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth raised slightly, "Although the Six Hanging Peaks are easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a fatal place on the south side!"
"Let's hear it, if you keep talking, I won't be able to spare you!"
"It seems that the girl is not very aware of her own interests, but she is not as good as me as an outsider. With all due respect, the pass of the Six Hanging Peaks is dangerous, and the six cliffs are steep, but such a dangerous fortification is precisely the life-killing place of the Six Hanging Peaks. The main peak is isolated from the outside world, and the food and nutrition of all personnel must be transported by the road in the south and the road in the northeast, the road in the northeast is steep, and it can only climb up the mountain and cannot transport materials, so there is only one road due south for vegetable farmers to go up the mountain. The girl knows best that the three-mile-square flat land halfway up the South Road is the desperate place of the Six Hanging Peaks. Although I don't know why the girl trained soldiers and horses here and performed battles, but in the troubled times, once someone plotted against her, she stationed 5,000 soldiers on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and choked the throat of the six hanging peaks. There is no rain in the precipitous place, and within a few days, the girl will have to go down the mountain to fight, if someone solves it with a clever plan, how will the girl do it?"
Wu Xin listened to him, and although her face did not change, her heart was tumbling. Zhou Yi's words were to the point, and her offense and defense were very orderly, which made her shudder.
"Although the rivers and lakes are big, but the dragons have no leader, who can entangle five thousand people, and who has the ability to let these people get systematic training?" Wu Xin smiled disapprerovingly.
"The rivers and lakes can't, so what if it's the imperial court?"
When Wu Xin heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she froze there in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Miss, listening to his scholarly nonsense, it is better to cut him with a knife!" said left and right.
"No!"
Wu Xin looked at Zhou Yi, he still looked calm, which made Wu Xin very unconvinced.
"If you don't succeed for a while, how do you know the outcome of the battle?" Wu Xin said coldly, "No matter who dares to offend me, I will teach her to come and go!"
"Really?" Zhou Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and learned that the plan could be accomplished, "I have a game, I don't know if the girl can solve it." ”
Wu Xin said: "Since you have broken my formation, I have nothing to say, so I will spare your life for the time being." I don't know what formation you have?"
Zhou Yi sighed shortly, looking nonchalant, "Leading troops into battle is not just talking on paper, how others make moves is not in your preset, so I never look at those who train according to the art of war." The girl is a heroine among women, and she is fortunate to get acquainted with her, and it is not worth the trip, and it is a great blessing if she can learn from her. But the battlefield is not here, but at the bottom of the mountain. I wonder if the girl would like to go down the mountain with me?"
As soon as he heard it left and right, he drew his sword again.
Wu Xin glared, and then laughed, "I've grown so big, I haven't heard anyone speak to me in such a tone." Well, let's see you down the mountain. If I can't break your game, I'll be at your disposal. ”
Zhou Yi laughed out of the corner of his eyes, hugged his fists and said: "The girl is willing to deign to appreciate the light, and it is an honor to be in the next, I hope that my game, the girl can crack it." ”
At that moment, Wu Xin took two guards and followed Zhou Yi down the mountain.
