First Section 426
"Your Majesty Liu was joking. The layout of the city defense is the most important thing. Without His Majesty's permission, how dare I disclose it privately."
"General Yelu, you were the one who made fun of this envoy first. General Yelu did not dare to disclose the layout of the city defense without the permission of His Majesty the Golden Emperor. How dare this envoy disclose the layout of the Longmen formation without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor."
"This...is my general's negligence. This general used tea instead of wine to make amends to Mr. Liu. Please forgive me."
Yeluhu drank the tea in his hand, then turned out the teacup and signaled to Liu Mingzhi, he looked quite good.
How sincere it is is open to question.
Liu Mingzhi also picked up the tea in front of him and drank it clean: "General Yelu, Dalong has a saying of a sage, that is, don't do to others what you don't want done to you. I hope the general can understand."
"Master Xie Liu's teachings, this general will definitely enjoy and read them in his spare time, but don't be negligent when it comes to borrowing 7 troops to set up an array. These 7 people are not a small number, they are 40 fresh. How can Lord Liu persuade the general to borrow [-] troops? And how can I convince the general that Lord Liu can defeat the enemy with [-] people against [-] people."
Liu Mingzhi stared at Yeluhu carefully for a while, then cursed the old fox inwardly, he was still trying to find out about the Longmen Dazheng.
Although Liu Mingzhi planned to set up the Longmen formation that had been deduced and perfected by his junior brother Huyan Yunyao, he was absolutely unwilling to reveal the formation diagram to Yeluhu, an important minister of the Jin Kingdom.
Even if it is to set up the formation, the heart of the formation is also commanded by himself, and the five-element formation flag of the soldiers of the formation is controlled by Song Qing and his guards.
All the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin had to do was follow the changes in the formation flags to cover up and kill the attacking enemy troops.
As for the appearance of setting up a large formation, the people of Jin Kingdom will see it in their eyes and even remember it in their hearts. Liu Mingzhi has never worried about these problems. None of them are geniuses.
Huyan Yunyao was able to evolve the Longmen Great Formation, firstly because he had Young Master Liu's formulas, but because he had the formation diagram drawn by Young Master Liu combined with each other.
It was only then that Huyan Yunyao was able to deduce the formation diagram of the Longmen formation, even so, it cannot be said that Huyan Yunyao was not a natural handsome talent.
Liu Mingzhi previously thought that the so-called Battle Formation was just something made up in the storytelling.
Facts have proved that Liu Mingzhi was wrong, the stories passed down by the ancestors by word of mouth must have a basis, as for what the basis is, it is not known.
There are hundreds of variations of the Longmen Great Formation without formulas and formation diagrams, so trying to copy it is tantamount to nonsense.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yeluhu's curious eyes, dipped his fingers in some tea, and gently swiped on the tea table to write out the initial formation diagram of the Longmen Formation.
"Longmen Grand Formation contains nine palaces and eight trigrams, changes of yin and yang and five elements, and an integration of offense and defense. There are five formation gates of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are all gates of life. There is no gate of death. But as long as the formation flag changes, the gate of life will immediately turn into a gate of death." , Divided into, dragon head, dragon tail, dragon belly, dragon claw, dragon back, coincident with the five-element array flag."
Yelu stared intently at the starting formation diagram on the desk table: "Master Liu, as you said, if the enemy attacks from the belly of the Tuzimen dragon, they can instantly charge and kill a wave coming out of the water gate dragon's claws."
"Really? The moment the enemy attacked the dragon's belly, the formation changed, the dragon's head flicked, the dragon's tail wrapped around, and the dragon's claws closed. Let alone rushing out of the formation, the enemy has no room to resist." , Disciplining him to come and go, the whole army was wiped out."
Liu Mingzhi was not exaggerating. In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xue Rengui relied on the Longmen formation to slap and beat many countries. That is, as long as the formation is deployed, as many enemies come and eat as many enemies, and there are few defeats.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth and the five banners complement each other. It looks like a gate of life, but in fact they are all gates of death. No matter where they attack, it is a dead end. It's amazing."
"The Longmen formation claims that 70 people can form a real Longmen formation. 7 people are just a simple formation. It is said that there are 70 troops in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and there is no need for the Longmen formation. Dealing with the rebels is nothing but a piece of cake."
Yeluhu stared closely at the formation map on the table and wanted to engrave it in his mind, Liu Mingzhi smiled softly when he saw it, without any hindrance.
Facing the one hundred and eight changes in the formation diagram deduced by my junior, I read through it silently in the middle of the night before I figured out the essence of the Longmen Great Formation.
It's useless for Yeluhu to just memorize the starting formation.
After a while, Yeluhu stared at Liu Mingzhi cautiously: "Master Liu, according to what you said, the dragon gate formation is indeed unparalleled, but have you ever thought about it? As long as an army of 40 surrounds 7 people, no matter how powerful the formation is, Is it hard to resist?"
Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup in his hand and nodded lightly: "That's right, can General Yelu take a look at the map of the capital?"
Yeluhu pondered for a moment and waved to the soldiers, who immediately took out a map from his pocket and put it on the table.
Liu Mingzhi watched for a while and turned the open space in the north and west of the city gate into a circle: "General Yelu, please take a look, after setting up the Longmen formation of 7 people based on the distance between the swamp and the city wall. , How many people can be accommodated in the surrounding terrain?"
Yeluhu carefully recalled the terrain outside the city in his mind: "Maximum 12 people, tens of miles of swampland, if you are not careful, you will die without a whole body. Afterwards, there will be the north city wall and the west gate wall to block them. In other words, it can only accommodate up to 12 people, so......"
Yeluhu suddenly looked at the smiling Liu Mingzhi in amazement: "You mean, only 40+ people in the 10,000-strong army are really fighting hand-to-hand?"
"That's right, the one who built the capital city is simply a genius. The swamps for dozens of miles are a natural barrier, which can be attacked and defended. It is impossible for a 40 army to encircle the Longmen formation in this area."
Yeluhu nodded dumbly: "No wonder you want to set up an formation here. You want to rely on the swamp to block the offensive of the rebels. It is simply a conspiracy."
Liu Mingzhi pointed to the two northwestern corners of the city on the map: "When the rebels see us going out of the city to meet the enemy, they will definitely think that we will fight to the death. The siege equipment will most likely be abandoned. They are too bulky to charge. Tens of thousands of soldiers can deploy trebuchets and bed crossbows on both sides, and a large number of archers will harass the Chinese army who cannot go up to the Longmen formation."
"That's right, the two city walls can appear like horns, so that they can't look at each other head to tail, but if they can't attack the big formation for a long time, what should the rebels do if they use the catapult crossbows of the rear army to break the formation? They have a lot of siege troops. Equipment."
Liu Mingzhi pointed at a terrain lightly with the corner of his mouth: "The siege equipment is not enough to worry about. There are [-] cavalry outside the city, all of whom are riding high-quality Turkic war horses. The terrain here has a slope. When they want to use the siege When the city's equipment breaks through the formation, given the bulkiness of the equipment, [-] cavalry can charge them back and forth twice and cause them heavy losses."
"The rings are intertwined, both offensive and defensive."
"General Yelu, offense is the best defense. It is better to take the initiative to attack the rebels head-on than to wait for reinforcements."
"This general needs to discuss with His Majesty and a group of colleagues."
"Please go ahead, but you only have half a day to discuss."
Chapter 484 The Country Is More Important
Chapter 484 The Country Is More Important
"General, the Songzhou city guard has allowed us to pass through the Emperor Jin's request for soldiers."
Xiong Kaishan held the order talisman in both hands and handed it to Zhang Kuang respectfully.
Zhang Kuang took the order talisman and stuffed it into his sleeve, looking at the city of Songzhou City in the Kingdom of Jin with a disdainful smile: "The officials in Songzhou are much better than those in Daizhou. After entering the city, they will subsidize the food and grass and then go out immediately."
"Order."
In less than half a day, Zhang Kuang led the Longwuwei [-] army out from the north gate of Songzhou City in the Kingdom of Jin, and rushed to the next city.
"Keyan, how many cities are there to pass through from the capital of the Kingdom of Jin?"
The former commander of the halberd soldiers and the current leader of the Modao team, Ke Yan, took out a map and looked it up: "If you go back to the general, there are still seven cities that need to pass through to reach the capital of the Kingdom of Jin."
"Seven cities, so brothers don't have to worry about marching, just march normally, and also look at the scenery of the Kingdom of Jin. I haven't stepped into this hometown again for many years. I didn't expect that I would go deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin as a reinforcement today. "
Ke Yan put away the map: "General, we are going to support the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. If we march like this, it may take four days to arrive. If we rush to march, three days will not be a burden for us Long Wuwei. If we go late, The capital of the Kingdom of Jin is forced, how can we explain to His Majesty?"
Zhang Kuang gave Ke Yan a white look: "You are usually very smart, why are you so stupid today, what to explain, what is there to explain, we are not familiar with the road conditions, what can Jin Guo do if we go late."
"Our map is very clear, why are you not familiar with the road conditions?"
Xiong Kaishan, the commander of the light cavalry, looked curiously at Zhang Kuang, his immediate boss.
As expected, Xiong Kaishan was slapped by Zhang Kuang, and he could only hold the back of his head aggrievedly and watch Zhang Kuang dare not resist.
"You guys, the bigger you get, the more confused you become. Do you think His Majesty really asked us to support the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Isn't it? The imperial decree is very clear!"
"Oh, confused, we are going to add fire to the Kingdom of Jin. Now that Dalong has just experienced a great battle, and when everything is booming, His Majesty doesn't want the good signs to be broken as soon as they rise, so he sent us to the Kingdom of Jin to support him. of."
