That little fly

Shui Qingqian, who showed his prowess on the shooting range, then once again showed his prosperity in the military formation. The generals who had been disapproving of the incident of going through the back door were completely convinced.

Speaking of this second prestige, it was caused by a remnant manuscript of "Ten Days Tour Qingxi with Teacher".

It is estimated that few people have heard of this manuscript, but when it comes to the owner of the manuscript, it is definitely well-known and well-known, and it is General Burling who is revered as a "god general" by the empire.This man has been a soldier all his life, and the two battles that turned the world around have established the prosperity of the Jin Empire, and he has never been defeated.General Burling's trump card is his military formation, which is really unpredictable and invincible on the battlefield.It's a pity that General Boling didn't leave any formations and tactics.Later generations have summed up some combat experience, such as "Eighteen Forms of Formation" and "Boling's Remaining Wisdom" have many names, but unfortunately they are all superficial.To really understand General Boling's military formation from the root, from the essence, he has to rely on the general's own notes during his school days.It's a pity that it has been lost due to many reasons such as the long history and wars. "Ten Days Tour of Qingxi with Teacher" is a part of the study notes, and the content is not complete. '.

Residual manuscripts are so precious and sensitive, and this is the first time for powerful elites like Shui Qingqian to come into contact with them.

Today's lecture is about 'Sleepy Dragon Lock', which is used to encircle and suppress cavalry.They first lined up troops on the sand table, and after the formation was completed, they did exercises and calculations together to experience the effectiveness of the formation.Shui Qingqian followed from the beginning to the end, and he found some problems, so in the practice session, he volunteered to be the first to make changes.

Xie Ming: "I still don't understand something... You have an idea so quickly?"

"Try this."

Shui Qingqian withdrew a group of heavy cavalry on the right wing of the center formation, interspersed with two long halberds, added two teams of light cavalry in front of the formation, and removed the Shenjian Battalion.Including the generals who were teaching, they were all patiently looking at the clear and shallow layout of the water, discussing a few words while watching.Is it originally a deduction teaching? Anyone who has an idea can come up and try to make some changes. This is called mastery.The only criterion for judging success or failure: no matter how you change, the power of the formation will only become stronger and stronger.A failed formation is meaningless.

In a short while, the clear and shallow water was changed, and the whole formation looked more like a crab than the previous coiled snake.On this basis, everyone will conduct a march together to test the effectiveness of this new formation.

"A team of halberd soldiers in the front left to attack, and move in diagonally to do five."

"No, heavy infantry against light cavalry, two to one. This direction is impossible. Retreat, must retreat."

"It should be a detour..."

"Where is the detour, solid defense, should be solid defense. The battle damage of the left defense has broken through one to five."

"Oh! Damn it, it's his halberdiers again."

"Okay, time is up, report the casualties of the team."

……

"Failure, next group."

"Three groups, you still have the strength for the last charge."

"Prepare for the next group."

……

After about an hour and a half, four groups of attackers retreated successively. A circle of young generals stood beside the sand table, silently watching the remaining endgame on the sand table, and occasionally glanced at a dude who came through the back door.The room was eerily quiet.

"No, you can do this too?" Xie Ming put down the baton in his hand with an ugly face.

"Mu Yu, go to the middle hall and ask General Xiong and General Ye to come over here immediately." General Li Xing finished his order, and then ordered in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to disclose what happened here today without permission. .”

"Decree!" All the young officers in the room roared in unison.

Shui Qingqian, who was distracted, was startled by the roar.

The instructor glanced at someone who came through the back door, and his heart was full of vigilance. Sure enough, if you are a flying boy, you have to watch it carefully.

After this new version of the Dragon Locking Formation has been put under the noses of several veterans, its effect is almost certain. Of course, the real value needs to be fielded and practiced before it can be finally determined.However, right now, there are some things that need to be clarified first.

"The water is clear and shallow, tell me what you think."

""Ten Days of Qingxi" is incomplete, right?" Shui Qingqian conjectured with certainty, "Some parts must have been deduced by later generations, and they made mistakes. But I have learned the complete sleepy dragon lock. General." The reason is as simple as that.

"This is impossible!"

"Where? How did you learn it?"

Shui Qingqian looked at the eyes of the generals as if they were about to tear him apart and check his hair inch by inch, and he knew that they had misunderstood, "I have never seen the manuscript of General Burling, but I have learned from him. The teacher's manuscript...Hey! Although General Boling himself is secretive about his teacher's identity. But his teacher is not an unknown person, you know Su Zi, who is a member of the Zongheng School." Shui Qingqian: "They are brothers from the same school."

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

General Burling and Su Zi, aren't these two people life and death rivals?General Boling is the protector of the Jin Empire, the cornerstone of the foundation of the empire; that master Su of the vertical and horizontal sect, who was planning a conspiracy, almost destroyed the Jin Dynasty with one hand.

"I thought that when General Boling came out of the mountain, Master Su was already past his destiny." Someone calculated the time and came to a conclusion.

"But they are indeed people of the same era." Someone said.

"How could it be a senior brother? Where is there a tit-for-tat senior brother?"

However, who stipulates that teachers who come from the same school must choose the same path?Especially in that era, when the heroes were fighting for hegemony, it was really difficult for them to judge who had the domineering power to dominate the world.However, if General Boling and Su Zi are indeed brothers of the same school, then the identity of General Boling's teacher is indeed no secret.

Su Zi, the founder of the vertical and horizontal theory, a scholar, as the former enemy of the Jin Empire, was still recognized by Dongzhou Literature and History as the honorary title of "Zi" after his death. His status is self-evident.It is such a great scholar who carried forward the theory of one line, mentioned that he came from "Ghost Valley" more than once during his lifetime, and frankly admitted that his vertical and horizontal theory also came from the teaching of his teacher.Ghost Valley, although it sounds like a pseudonym, at least it means that there was indeed a living figure with great achievements in thought, strategy, and art of war.Therefore, it seems that everyone is not unfamiliar with this Guigu daimyo.

Well, more than 400 years ago, there was a reclusive master Guigu. He was not only the originator of the vertical and horizontal school theory, but also the teacher of Suzi. A divine general who made an indelible contribution to the unification of the Dongzhou Empire.There is no doubt that this is a powerful person who combines thought and military strategy, but so what?Does it have anything to do with the sleepy dragon lock under Shui Qingqian's eyes?

or,

"Could it be that there is a hidden strategy of war in the classic "捭阁" written by Master Su?" Someone immediately made up his mind.

Shui Qingqian shook her head, "No, it's Guigu. He is my Xuanxuan ancestor. I read his stuff when I was seven years old."

Everyone: ミД彡

Shui Qingqian: What's the matter, they also have family background.

In the playground of the Habayashi camp, 500 soldiers were spread out in black, Indigo-clothed infantry, ocher-clothed chariot soldiers, heavy armored armor, silver-white light cavalry, halberd soldiers, divine crossbow troops... 500 people. All kinds of arms are intertwined together, and at a glance, you can only see a mob of soldiers, but if you understand the details of this formation and ponder it, you will find that the formation is not disorderly at all, the formation is symmetrical, and the offensive strength of the troops is intertwined. In the gap, the shadow of the sword can be vaguely seen, which looks like a net covered with fine and dark hooks, which can be called "the mind is vicious".

On the other side of this large formation, there is the iron cavalry army of the Dongzhou Empire, which can be called a classic configuration. There are a lot of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers. There are not so many bells and whistles. The iron cavalry is neat and disciplined, with horses, guns, sharp blades, and heavy shields...resolute and resolute, full of murderous aura.

The two sides took their positions in a dark and dense area. The four circles of the school field are towers for the flag soldiers and commanders of the opposing sides. There are also four towers vacant for the observation team outside the field. The identity of the battlefield observers is not low. Looking at the past, a row of shoulder armor is tied with gold-rimmed and five-color brocade knots, which means that they are all of the rank of generals.

A trombone, the sound of war drums, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes aroused the beating of stones on the ground. In the dusty yellow-brown dust fog, mixed with the low-pitched shouts of iron-blooded soldiers, the war kicked off.

As the attacking side, the square black cavalry phalanx created a huge commotion, the rumbling black cavalry ran away, and the sound of horseshoes made people's hearts tremble.The black cavalry flowed out, gradually forming a triangular sharp pyramid, rushing straight at the group of five-color soldiers, its momentum was like a knife, flashing a sharp light, its shape was more like an iron arrow, threatening to Straight to pierce each other's heart.

Compared with the majestic momentum of the attacking side, the gaudy defensive formation on the opposite side looks fragile at this moment, like a beautiful colorful bubble. It will be shattered, the cavalry formation will win a big victory, and the exercise is over.Most of the observers couldn't help but have the illusion that when the two armies met, the unstoppable black cavalry entered the formation as predicted in advance, and the foam was squeezed so hard that it deformed and elongated, and then it was crushed. Out of shape, about to break, almost broken, soon to break... no?In the end, the seemingly fragile formation did not break as easily as people expected. When the sharp black blade penetrated, it did not pierce easily. The colorful bubbles are 'sticky'.The sleepy dragon lock seems to have turned into a swamp. Let the cavalry come aggressively, stab in, one step, two steps, three steps, no matter how difficult it is to advance, it is stuck in the quagmire, in a dilemma.One moment it was clearly a sharp blade that could not face the sharp edge directly, but the next moment it seemed that the sharp blade was wrapped in cloth strips, unable to pierce through, cut continuously, and could not be shaken off. , and then... and then... nothing more.

The group of colorful miscellaneous soldiers squeezed up sticky, and after blocking the initial charge of the black iron cavalry, it began to slowly nibble away. The following cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and immediately retreated, saying that it was nibbling, but it was just this one advance and one retreat. In a short time, this group of charge cavalry was bitten off, and less than half of the heads were withdrawn.

Small commotions echoed in the towers all around.This formation of strangling the cavalry definitely represented extraordinary significance to Dongzhou.Although there are tens of thousands of cavalry in Dongzhou, there are also horse pastures, and there are horse racing clubs that are popular with the public on weekdays. Playing polo is still the favorite of the rich and powerful, but after all, it is fundamentally different from how nomads treat horses. Yes, a child who is not as tall as a horse's leg knows how to ride a horse to herd and kill wild wolves.The cavalry on Dongzhou's side are all from the background of resisting hoes and digging the earth. If you want to become a qualified rider, you really have to pile up real money in the pasture.

In the past, maybe the power of the sleepy dragon lock was not a big deal, but since the Alan Prairie Iron Cavalry and Kangju Wusun were brought to the table for discussion by the cabinet, this kind of formation has never been used again. will be ignored.Regarding the threat of the distant Alan nomadic iron cavalry, it may be far away in the eyes of literati, but in the eyes of soldiers, is ten or twenty years a long time?It is barely enough to train the first and second generation cavalry.Just the birth of hundreds of thousands of horses is not something that can be accomplished in a hasty seven or eight years.

Now that I have seen the power of this sleepy dragon lock, the eyelids of the generals who watched the battle couldn't help but jump together.

As the highest officer of the Yulin Camp, General Xiong Hui glanced over. Immediately, a lieutenant turned and went down the tower, and called for the herald, "Order the playground to be cleared, and everyone else to stay away."

"General, do you want to report to the Privy Council?"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see what step this sleepy dragon lock can do."

"I can't see the difference."

"Not to mention anything else, if that old boy Bozhu hears the news, he will definitely come over and have a look."

A group of generals were discussing on the tower, waiting for the formation below to be reorganized.Naturally, the hand-to-hand combat just now was just the beginning of the drill. The cavalry suffered a small loss, and the formation of the sleepy dragon lock was not completely uninjured. The second round of the attack is coming.The formations are ever-changing, and the cavalry is not given for nothing. In addition to the direct charge, the cavalry charge also has outflank formations, roundabout formations, piece formations, and sharp formations. It is not certain who will win the battle.

Regroup and fight again.
