Chapter 458: Don't Laugh at Me
The fire is rising, the figures are longing, the horses' hooves are bursting, and the silent killing machine is overwhelming!
Helan Leopard touched the neck of the beloved horse, but felt that the sweat stains were thick and sticky, like glutinous rice soup, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he secretly exclaimed: "It's over, it......'s over!" The war horse is about to become dehydrated, and as soon as it slows down, it will lie on its stomach, and now it will not even have a chance to escape by turning the horse!"
Sure enough, the Qi army rode in a panic, and the chaotic horses wanted to flee, but they squeezed around, and the formation became more and more chaotic, and it didn't take long for the war horses to fall down with the wailing of patches of horses.
I don't know who was the first to cry because the war horse was dead and there was no hope of escaping, and it was out of control, and hundreds of howls and cries followed, and the sound shook all over the world!
Without waiting for Helan Leopard and the others to lift the morale of the army with words, the original invincible and arrogant morale was washed away by this howl, and the rest were as if they had been caught in magic and evil arts, all numb and dead and silent.
It wasn't until the enemy ambush with torches approached that the hideous faces were clearly visible, and many Qi cavalry soldiers woke up like a dream and began to beat their horses and curse again, rushing to escape......
Yu Wenxian, Zhu Yuyan, Changsun Sheng and others were dumbfounded, and they thought that the ambush soldiers who were rapidly surrounding from all directions should rush straight into the Qi army formation to cut melons and vegetables, destroy the fighting spirit of the Qi army with brutal killing, and force them to land, but when they saw them holding torches approaching within 100 steps of the Qi army's formation, they suddenly turned their horses' heads, crossed a graceful arc, and ran in circles around the Qi army's formation in a clockwise direction.
In the meantime, except for a few Qi army war horses that lost control and rushed in front of them and were killed by the lucky ones, most of the ambush soldiers did not even draw out the blades on their saddles.
It's like an armed parade for running laps!
But Yu Wenxian, who was proficient in the battle array, didn't think so, but silently counted the number of ambushes, "One ...... Two...... Three ......"
Yes, exactly the number of segments!
The ambush troops that formed a dynamic circle around the Qi army's formation were not seamless, but the usual sharp arrow formation of a cavalry charge with more than 1,000 horsemen, and there was a gap of more than 100 steps between the arrow tail of each section and the arrow of the later section.
Yu Wenxian knew very well that this was not because the ambush troops were insufficient and could not firmly encircle the 20,000 Qi troops, but that the main general who arranged tactics for the ambush had a vicious mind - if a certain Qi army wanted to break through the gap of more than 100 steps, I am afraid that before it could rush out a few horses, it would be cut off from the side by a section of the arrow array that was galloping around in a circle, and it would be easily slaughtered.
This method of hitting the enemy's flanks can maximize the lethality of the ambush front and arrow formation, and can reduce the resistance of the Qi army to the greatest extent, so as to reduce the casualties of the ambush front and arrow formation as much as possible.
"Eight paragraphs?"
Yu Wenxian identified and counted the number of ambush soldiers' front arrow arrays, and a projection of the entire battlefield layout from a high altitude appeared in his mind—the eight-stage front arrow array divided by more than 10,000 elite cavalry formed an outer circle like a rotating Bagua map, and surrounded the irregular solid circle formed by the 20,000 Qi army.
In this way, the goal of doing more with less can be achieved...... Then, the next step is to narrow the scope of the 'Bagua Map' again and again, slowly trap the Qi army, and finally force it to surrender without a fight!"
As Yu Wenxian expected, each section of the front arrow formation galloped around the Qi army formation for a complete circle, and after the "Bagua Map" formation was successfully stabilized, the route of the eight sections of the ambush front arrow formation began to tilt towards the inner circle invariably, and the entire "Bagua Map" shrank in a circle.
In the same way, the soldiers trapped on the periphery of the Qi army's formation clearly sensed the approach of the enemy and involuntarily retreated. Only this time, the formation of the entire Qi army shrank by dozens of steps, and it became more and more circular.
About two more times, the Qi army should be on horseback, and there is no room for maneuver, even if they want to break through, they will not be able to rush forward.
In Shi Zhixuan's discerning observation, the more than 10,000 elite horsemen under his command were divided into eight sections of the sharp arrow array, but in fact, they were peeking at the prey from afar, and the wolves that kept circling around the prey, always ready to privately get a fat piece of meat from the prey.
And this prey is a giant wolf in the center that seems to be huge and has no friends, but is actually tired and has no fighting spirit!
............
Half an hour later, Yu Wenxian looked at the Qi army prisoners kneeling on the left and the endless herd of war horses on his right, and he couldn't believe it.
"This is a great victory? What about the ambush war? From the beginning to the end, it is just a circle......
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wenxian stepped closer to Shi Zhixuan, and pretended to be flat: "Brother Pei, could it be that this is the eight formations of Zhuge Wuhou's invincible eight formations?"
Zhu Yuyan and Changsun Sheng looked at Shi Zhixuan curiously, and their eyes were also full of hope, Gao Gong and Yang Su had been following Shi Zhixuan since the "Bagua Map" was formed.
Changsun Sheng urged: "If it is really an eight-array diagram, I hope that Brother Pei will not hide his secrets!"
Shi Zhixuan looked confused, and only after a long time did he wonder: "What is the Eight Array Diagram? Zhuge Wuhou's Eight Array Diagram is a great battle achievement, killing countless enemies......
Where is it like me, who only killed three melons and two dates from beginning to end?"
As he spoke, he looked at Changsun Sheng and said unhappily: "Didn't I teach you all the time, why do you still ask such stupid questions?"
Hearing the words "teach each other", Gao Gong and Yang Su looked at Changsun Sheng's eyes and almost burst into flames, it was not the indisputable anger of hating him, but the jealousy of hating that he couldn't exchange his body!
This time, it was Changsun Sheng's turn to look confused, "What kind of teaching?"
Shi Zhixuan coughed dryly, twisted and pinched for a while, and in Changsun Sheng's disgusted eyes, he said unashamedly: "Since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy:
For the generals to command the soldiers and horses, they can not arrange the troops and make decisions on the spot, but they can't pretend!
As long as the sons and daughters are trained to look majestic and vicious, they can fool the emperor's ears and eyes in peacetime, ensure that the official fortune is prosperous, and enter the prime minister; in wartime, they can fool the eyes and ears of the enemy, and ensure that the soldiers who surrender without a fight can make great achievements.
As for the confrontation between the two armies, whether the soldiers and horses under their command can fight hard or skillfully, and whether they will take the lead bravely or be crushed at the touch of a button......
That's all false, it's not worth mentioning at all, it mainly depends on your ability to speak well, reverse black and white, if you can say that you are dead in front of the Son of Heaven, you can say that you are defeated and defeated repeatedly, even if you are often defeated on the battlefield, you can always win in officialdom......
Oops, I accidentally said the truth, don't laugh at me for being too straw!"
Changsun Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head; Yu Wenxian, Gao Gong, and Yang Su couldn't help but shake their cheeks while looking at each other; only Zhu Yuyan still remembered that she was pretending to be a personal soldier, and she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and she endured it quite hard.
Shi Zhixuan suddenly slapped his helmet, and said to Yu Wenxian in a businesslike tone: "King Qi, the general has just sent someone to count the losses of your war horses, and a total of 1,942 medium war horses have been exhausted.
Fifteen hundred of them can still be restored as long as they are properly cultivated. That being the case, it stands to reason that the King of Qi could only choose four hundred and forty-two medium-sized war horses among the spoils.
Fortunately, Ben General has always been benevolent and generous, and this time, at the risk of being convicted of His Majesty, he privately appropriated fifty-eight inferior war horses, and gave the King of Qi a whole number, just five hundred!"
The more Yu Wenxian listened, the more gloomy his face became, and finally he turned blue and walked away without saying a word.
Gao Gong and Yang Su saw that their boss, who had always been polite and courteous, was so unbearing, and they didn't dare to stay too long, so they each gave Shi Zhixuan a look and followed.
Zhu Yuyan finally burst out laughing, "Benevolence, righteousness and generosity, is it only limited to fifty-eight inferior war horses?" especially biting the word "inferior", Meimu completed the crescent moon.
Changsun Sheng reminded with good intentions: "Brother Pei offended King Qi so hatefully, aren't you afraid that one day in the future, King Qi will take off for nine days and settle accounts after the autumn?"
Shi Zhixuan also reminded with good intentions: "The matter of receiving King Qi has been successfully completed, does Brother Eldest Sun want to lead his nearly 100 good men (similar to the elite officer corps) to set off as soon as possible and rush to the battlefield of Pingyang City?"
Otherwise, if the military plane is delayed, this supervision army has the right to correct you on the spot, and at that time, it will not be said that this supervision army does not emphasize morality and does not predict it!"
Following Yu Wenxian, Changsun Sheng also walked away with a blue face......
Zhu Yuyan saw it in his eyes from beginning to end, Yu Wenxian, Gao Gong, and Yang Su were all outstanding heroes in the world, but they all played with Shi Zhixuan wantonly, and even Changsun Sheng, the sect master of the inner determination carefully cultivated by the Demon Dao, repeatedly kneaded him and dared not speak out......
There had never been such a moment, Shi Zhixuan's image in her eyes was so unique and tall, like the nine heavens and the sun, full of brilliance, covering up all the rest of the light in heaven and earth.
Similarly, the traces engraved by Shi Zhixuan in her heart swelled violently again...... (To be continued.) )
