Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fighting Soldiers, Fighting Formations, and Fighting Generals

The "Thousand Forgings", which opened for less than half a year, was swallowed up by the time-honored armory workshop "Lianfeng", and once became a topic of conversation among the Chaoge market, but it didn't take long for it to be left behind, because a major event that was about to be born attracted everyone's attention.

There are four armies stationed near Chaoge, Shenwei, Shenwu, Longxiang, and Tiger Wing, and in order to encourage the armies to practice seriously in peacetime, the imperial court will hold a big competition in front of the emperor every spring. At that time, the four teams will each select the elite and compete in front of the king and the Manchu civil and military forces. Those who excel in the table will be rewarded extremely generously, from the leading generals to the ordinary soldiers, so the competition is extremely fierce every year.

Because of this incident, Li Jing finally couldn't live a lazy life anymore, so he had to come to the barracks and gather the deputy generals of the Shenwu Army to discuss how to deal with this big competition.

In today's Shenwu Army, except for Li Jing, Yin's position is the highest, so Li Jing will first let him talk about the details of this imperial competition.

In that year, Yin was defeated and returned to Chaoge after Li Jingping destroyed Jiuyan Mountain, and was arranged by Yin Zhongda to find a relationship and serve in the guards of Chaoge City. However, because he had been in the city guards, he was unable to participate in the battle of the east, which made Yin, who was bent on making contributions on the battlefield, quite annoyed and disappointed.

After Li Jing was appointed as the general of Shenwu and took charge of the Shenwu Army in the four armies of Chaoge, Yin's broken mind became active. He thought that if he could follow Li Jing, a rising star in the army, he would not have to worry about not having the opportunity to fight on the battlefield in the future. So he visited the door in the name of congratulations, and vaguely expressed his idea of being transferred to the Shenwu Army.

Li Jing had a period of cooperation with Yin Po back then, and knew that his martial arts might not be first-class, and the marching soldiers were only decent, but he was really a good hand at managing the army and training soldiers, if he could be transferred to the Shenwu Army, he would be much easier on weekdays, so he took Wen Zhong's way, transferred Yin Po to the Shenwu Army, and appointed him as his deputy general.

Seeing Li Jing asking him at this moment, Yin Rui got up and bowed and replied: "General, this imperial front Dabi has always been divided into three types: fighting soldiers, fighting arrays and fighting generals. The so-called fighting soldiers are to let the four armies each select elite soldiers to compete in more than 10 events such as strength, fighting, archery, and equestrianism. The so-called fighting formation is to let the four armies each send 3,000 men and horses to practice the formation, which one has the most mysterious formation and the most proficient in the drill will be the winner. The so-called fighting generals are to ask the generals of each army to personally go down and see whether they win or lose in real terms -- of course, it is absolutely forbidden to kill people or even seriously injure others during competitions. ”

Li Jing asked: "Ruined, according to your opinion, with the strength of our army, what kind of results can be achieved in this big competition?"

A trace of helplessness appeared on Yin's ruined face, and he replied: "Among these three, the fighting soldiers are not a big problem, not the last general's boasting, the last general has put a little effort into training on weekdays, and the elite selected in our army has been taken out to participate in the big competition, not to mention winning steadily, but it will never lose to the three armies of Shenwei, Long Xiang and Tiger Wing." However, the fighting array and the fighting generals, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a few chances of winning. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Li Jing again.

Yin said in defeat: "Let's talk about the fighting array first, Huang Feihu, the great general of Zhenguo Shenwei, was born in Jiangmen, and the Huang family has its own family's secret method of using troops to arrange the formation......;

His words were not finished, but the implication could not be clearer, although Li Jing's martial arts skills were high, he never showed his strengths in marching and arranging formations. And Yin Po himself is also familiar with some formations, but they are all common in the army, such as the 'One Word Long Snake Formation' and the 'Two Dragons Water Formation', which are really a bit out of the table.

"Let's talk about fighting generals," Yin said again, "Long Xiang and Tiger Wing's two armies are just going back." Now the generals recruited by Wen Taishi during the Eastern Expedition are all under the command of General Huang Feihu, and I heard that these people are all extraordinary in martial arts and have strange skills. General, although you are excellent in martial arts, you are alone after all, even if you count the two generals above Bi and Fang Xiang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support. ”

After Yin Rui's words were finished, the deputy generals in the tent all showed a depressed look, obviously thinking that the chances of victory on their side were really slim.

Li Jing frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Although what you said is the truth, it is too early to be discouraged now. I have some ideas for the two sides of the battle formation and the fighting general. ”

The generals were in high spirits, and their eyes were all focused on him.

Li Jing smiled calmly: "Speaking of fighting formations, Ben Jiang was favored by a worldly master when he was a teenager, and he once taught me a formation. It's just that although I understand this formation, I have never placed it, and whether it works or not, I have to refer to it together. Ladies and gentlemen, come near. ”

The generals were greatly surprised, and they didn't expect that the generals, who were usually lazy in military affairs, would still have such skills, and they all gathered around Li Jing.

Li Jing laid out a large piece of paper on the table, sketched a sketch with a pen, and dictated on the other hand: "My formation is called 'Eight Formations', and the periphery is divided into eight formations: the sky covers, the ground loads, the wind is flying, the clouds are falling, the dragon is flying, the tiger wings, the bird is flying, the snake is pan, and the Chinese army is a total of nine formations. Among them, the Chinese army is composed of sixteen small formations, and the surrounding eight formations are composed of six small formations each, for a total of sixty-four small formations. Among the eight arrays, the sky, the earth, the wind, and the clouds are the four positive arrays, and the dragon, the tiger, the bird, and the snake are the four strange arrays. In addition, there are twenty-four groups of guerrillas in the rear for mobility......"

The formation that Li Jing took out was the "Eight Array Diagram" that was famous in another world, and the "Baguazhang" he practiced was based on the principle of Bagua, and naturally he also had some research on the "Eight Array Diagram" that also originated from the principle of Bagua.

Li Jing finished drawing the formation picture, put down his pen and looked around, and asked: "Do you think this formation can be used?" This question is intentional, for this formation, he is worthy of the name on paper, how effective it is, and really needs the generals who have led the troops for many years to give an opinion.

At this moment, all the generals in the tent were already dumbfounded. It wasn't until Li Jing opened his mouth to speak that he traveled like a dream, you looked at each other with my eyes, bowed deeply to Li Jing together, and said in unison: "The general is slight, and the last general is very subdued." ”

Yin Rui patted his chest and said: "The general can rest assured, with this strange array in hand, if he loses the fighting array in the big competition, all of us should be killed by a headlong crash!"

"It's good if it works. Li Jing smiled and nodded, and said, "Speaking of fighting generals, Brother Feihu really has a lot of good players, and these people have some dislikes with me, but I am afraid that when the time comes, they will especially target our army and set off a vicious fight." There is still a person hiding in my house, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to surprise the other party by sending him on the field. However, we are still too far behind each other in terms of numbers, and if we want to keep our chances of winning, we have to think of another way. ”
