A knife in love

Chapter 2775
Everyone stood on the top of the old man's mountain, watching the Japanese bandit battalion kill to the middle of the wilderness.At this time, more than ten riders rushed out from the Japanese pirate army, with several small five-color flags planted behind the knights, and they rushed forward on their horses, very sturdy.When Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Jin Yulou fought against the Japanese pirates before, they had seen these knights with small flags coming and going between the various teams of Japanese pirates, and knew that they were the messengers sent by the Japanese pirate leader to contact his generals.Seeing the Japanese pirates' messengers rushing out at this time, Li Qiufeng and others all thought that when the Japanese pirates rushed out from Wangjiazhuang, although there were many people, they did not form an army formation.Right now they were not far from Old Man Mountain, the messengers rushed out from the group of troops, thinking that the Japanese pirate general would issue orders, ordering his generals to lead the soldiers and horses to form a formation before attacking Old Man Mountain.Although Zhang Gui is well-organized and the barbarian horse army is brave and good at fighting, it is more difficult to defeat tens of thousands of elite Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.How to drag the Japanese pirates here, I don't have the slightest idea right now.

I saw the more than ten Japanese pirates riding tens of feet away, and Qiqi reined in their mounts.The Japanese pirates following behind immediately slowed down and gradually stopped.More than a dozen messengers turned their horses' heads and spread out to the left and right sides.After a while, they were tens of feet apart before they stopped.I saw countless Japanese pirate heads surging, like several eddies appearing in a calm pool of water, which looked extremely strange.In a blink of an eye, the Japanese pirate army gradually divided into more than ten square formations, moving forward, backward, left, and right, and gradually opened up the distance.Later, more than ten phalanxes were scattered all over the wilderness, and each phalanx was lined up behind a messenger.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Gui turned his head and said to Li Chengliang and the others: "See? The Japanese pirates used scouts as pillars and five-color flags as orders, and formed an formation in a short while. These methods are absolutely extraordinary. You monkeys You must watch carefully, learn these skills from the Japanese pirates, and use them on the battlefield in the future, you will definitely be able to win by surprise and defeat the enemy."

Li Chengliang and the others were riding on horses, unable to bow to salute, so after hearing what Zhang Gui had said, they could only agree in unison.Zhang Gui went on to say: "However, looking at the army formation formed by the Japanese pirates, it is nothing special. It is nothing more than placing heavy troops in the front and left according to the orientation of the five elements and eight trigrams. This is the formation of 'hanging chariots'. Founded by Wei Liaozi, the famous general of the country. I originally thought that the Japanese pirates were mobs, but I didn't expect that such barbarians would know the military formations of the Middle Kingdom, which is extremely rare. It's just that barbarians are barbarians after all. If you draw a gourd and put out the formation of hanging carts, but you don't know how to change it, it's tantamount to banishing your own house and taking your own humiliation."

After Zhang Gui finished speaking, Li Chengliang and others echoed their voices.Qi Jiu was proficient in military tactics and after hearing what Zhang Gui had said, he thought to himself, so it is said that Wei Liaozi was a famous general of Qin, and Wang Jian, the general who led 60 Qin troops to destroy Chu, was his disciple.In the early days, Wei Liaozi advised the King of Qin and made many contributions, and was regarded as a minister by the King of Qin.Later, seeing the tyranny of King Qin, Wei Liaozi knew that even if Qin ruled the world, it was not far from being destroyed, so he resigned his official position on the pretext of illness, and drifted away without a trace.There is a military book handed down from later generations, named after Wei Liaozi, which is regarded as one of the top ten military books.But my father once said that this book should be written by later generations, under the guise of Wei Liaozi's name.The formation of hanging chariots is indeed recorded in the book, but it is out of date and is no longer valued by military strategists of later generations.Therefore, although Dad mentioned the name of the formation, he did not explain it in detail.Zhang Gui was born in the army, he has experienced many battles, and it is not unusual for him to know the formation of hanging chariots.

When Qi Jiu was thinking about it, he saw two messengers on the left and right flanks of the Japanese pirates galloping forward, leading the two Japanese pirate phalanxes to move to the north and south respectively.Seeing this situation, Zhang Gui chuckled, turned to Li Chengliang and the others and said, "Monkey boys, what do you intend to do when you talk about the sudden change of Japanese bandits?"

Before Li Chengliang could speak, a thin man riding a horse on Li Chengliang's right head rushed to say: "Father asked about this matter, but my son dared not answer. There are many Japanese pirates, even though there is a vast wilderness at the foot of the mountain, they still cannot deploy the whole army. Therefore, the general of the Japanese pirates ordered the phalanx on both wings to move to the sides of Laoweng Mountain, one is to spread out the whole army so as to fight with us, and the other is to block the passages on both sides of Laoweng Mountain and cut off our escape route.”

Zhang Gui nodded after listening to the thin man, and said in his mouth: "What Lao Qi said is not wrong, but it is not entirely correct. The Japanese pirates are all infantry. If you want to compete with the barbarian horse army, you have to suffer a lot. Therefore, the general of the Japanese pirates ordered the Japanese pirates on the two wings to retreat to the left and right, like a big bird spreading its wings. In this way, if the barbarian horse army attacked the Japanese pirates' central army, the Japanese pirates would resist with a solid formation of the central army, and the Japanese pirates on the two wings would outflank them. Even if the barbarian horse army is brave and good at fighting and surrounded by an army of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, they must still be defeated."

When Zhang Gui said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "When the Japanese pirates came to attack, I didn't know that we had ambushed the barbarian horse army behind Laoweng Mountain. It was too big to deploy in the wilderness. They violated the taboo of military strategists, so they were defeated by the barbarian horse army and fled. This time the Japanese pirates made a comeback, not as arrogant as before. Rufeng, but it is not an easy task to shake the position of the Japanese pirates."

When Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu heard what Zhang Gui said, they both thought, originally you knew that you could not fight against the Japanese pirates with the barbarian horse army, but it was just too emotional and refused to bow to us.When the enemy is at present, it is good that you know the severity.To avoid acting indiscriminately and losing a lot, you can only follow the Japanese pirates' wishes.

When Zhang Gui spoke, two phalanxes on the left and right flanks of the Japanese pirates moved to the north and south respectively.Looking down the mountain from the top of Old Man Mountain, more than a dozen Japanese pirate phalanxes are like a huge crab, with two claws spread out, as if to swallow Old Man Mountain into its mouth.When Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu and others saw the power of the Japanese pirates, they felt a little uneasy.Wang Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to the Japanese pirates at first, but when he saw the Japanese pirates' army gathered, like a forest of swords and guns, their power was astonishing, he felt a little flustered in his heart.It's just that although she was frightened in her heart, she refused to admit defeat. She looked down the mountain for a while, then turned her head to Murong Danyan and said, "Sister Murong, do you see that? The Japanese pirate is like a big crab! Why don't we go down the mountain and release it?" Wouldn't it be good to start a fire and cook this crab, then break off its two crab claws and eat it?"

At this moment, Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and the others felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, and they had no intention of joking with Wang Xiaoyu at all.So after Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Murong Danyan turned his head and glanced at her, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but he didn't speak.At this moment, the sound of horns down the mountain suddenly stopped, and more than a dozen phalanxes of Japanese pirates stopped moving. The four phalanxes of Japanese pirates facing Laoweng Mountain were less than a hundred meters away from the open space. Lin, the cold light is dazzling.
