Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1420
The young man's name is Deng Xia, the son of Wuchang prefect Deng Yue, although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he is already quite powerful, he is as handsome as his father, and he is already the leading young general in the Jingzhou army.

Hearing the young man Deng Xia's angry voice, Deng Yi was not angry, he just waved his hand to signal him to return to the army. It is indeed a blessing that the family has such a strong family, and it is a year of great use.

This time, Deng Yi led his family members to the north to help the war, and the main task was to escort this nephew, to show to the kings from all walks of life that their Jingzhou strong army has successors, and it is by no means a vain name.

At this time, the thousands of Jie soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed halfway, and came straight to the front here, obviously unwilling to let it go and want to take revenge.Among the army, Deng Xia did not dare to disobey his uncle's military orders, but his face was still eager to try, hoping to continue to fight the enemy.

But Deng Yi didn't dare to let him go easily again, after the battalions in the front line had replenished their horsepower, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army signaled to the troops to test their strengths, so he sent Deng Xia and the most elite troops under his command to win the first prize.But if they continue to fight, not only do they have to worry about the lack of stamina for the youngsters, but also make other allies feel resentful, thinking that they are monopolizing the scene.

However, Deng Yi did not lead his troops back to the camp, but turned his head to look at the Qiling battle tower.

The eight formations camp occupies a vast area, and it has been expanded recently. The entire camp has reached tens of miles deep and wide. Deng Yijun is already at the forefront. From this distance, it is difficult to see the change of the Chinese army's flag order.

But the essence of this large formation lies in timely control and flexible response, because the entire command system is also very meticulous and comprehensive. In addition to the Chinese Army Flag Order, each army camp also has battle towers to receive the Chinese Army Flag Order and report to subordinates. Xiaoying conveyed.

In addition, there are also drum orders and orders for soldiers to walk in the battle formation. The combination of several systems can be said to move the whole body by pulling one hair, making the entire huge camp cohesive and flexible in response, like arms and fingers.

Although Deng Yi is not a famous general, he has been in the army for many years, and his military strategy may not be as good as it is, but he still has vision.He was also fortunate enough to visit the former fortress of Marquis Wu, or he was limited by his knowledge, so it was difficult to have a deeper understanding.But now that he is in the real camp, he feels that the map is exquisite and powerful, and his admiration for the Chinese military commander Xie is getting stronger and stronger.

The eight formations are numerous and almost endless. After all, Deng Yi has not undergone long-term training, and he does not have a deep understanding of the subtle changes of some flag orders.Now that he is in charge of an army alone, in order to ensure that the military orders are executed correctly, Xie Ai has matched him with dozens of old soldiers who are proficient in flag orders.

Since the generals have been concentrating on China's affairs in recent years, the Jingzhou Army has not yet been reorganized in depth, because at present the Jingzhou Army still maintains a fairly strong combination of military leaders and trilogy.However, in order to ensure that the troops can respond in a timely manner and adapt to changes in the situation, Deng Yi did not insist on the independence of the trilogy, but took the initiative to break up the old compilations and use the old Fangtou army to build the current army.

The flag order of the Chinese army was quickly conveyed to the front, and Deng Yiyi ordered his troops to retreat for half a mile. At the same time, a battle formation of hundreds of sword carts poured out from the camp of the friendly army on the right to cover the retreat of his army.

When the Jie army rushed to the front of the formation, Deng Yi's troops had already entered the battle formation, and what greeted them was three layers of knife carts overlapping each other.The frame of the knife cart is strong, and the huge shield in front can effectively intercept Jie Jun's arrows. At the same time, the giant shield is inlaid with a half-foot-long sharp knife, like the claws of a ferocious beast.
Although the Jie army was approaching menacingly, they did not dare to use their flesh and blood to shake the ferocious sword array. They passed by sideways, and a round of arrows poured down, but they were unwilling to evacuate. They planned to bypass the sword formation from the flank and continue to kill enemy.

However, although the distance between the camps on the front line is very large, there are not many gaps left for charging. Although the right wing of Deng Yijun is covered by the sword and cart battle formation, the left wing is empty. A camp of friendly troops.

But in this gap, there stands a mound higher than the surrounding area. Three arrow towers are erected on the mound. Each arrow tower has more than two hundred bowmen and a large number of strong bows. A powerful crossbow, radiating around Lixu Fangyuan.Once the Jie army passes by here, they will be shot by the rain of arrows, and they will shed a layer of skin if they don't die.

Although Xie Ai didn't know the specific appearance of the ancient eight formations, the new eight formations he set up contained a lot of tactical strategies.Although the foundation of the big formation is the soldiers of each battalion, in addition to the basic battalion method, there are many changes such as the Qiu method, the mechanical method, the water method, the fire method, and the wind method.

The so-called mound method is to build mounds in different positions, relying on the cooperation of the battalion to form a relatively advantageous terrain. This is also one of the core changes of the eight formations.Marquis Wu's eight formations are made of stone, which belongs to the category of Qiu Fa.

This kind of camp mound is different from the legend in the wild that relying on its own existence can have fascinating mysteries. It acts as an obstacle and is matched with the cooperation of arms. The attack of equipment is used to restrict and induce the enemy's advancing route, so that the enemy's army always has to face its own superior attack on the charging route, and is gradually eliminated during the movement.

For example, the arrow tower on Camp Hill, which the enemy is currently circumventing, would have limited lethality if it existed alone. Especially in this open field in the southern suburbs of Xiangguo, the enemy has a large number of attack routes to choose from. Arrow towers can cause very little obstruction.

However, once the enemy chooses to charge from this position, there will be a series of tactical coordination in the follow-up. Intercepting facilities such as knife carts, antler carts, and horse refusals are set up everywhere to limit the enemy's charge route to a certain range. middle.

Once the speed of the enemy army slows down, they will be surrounded by the superiority of the surrounding battalions. If they want to maintain the rhythm of the attack and continue to penetrate, they will be led to a fixed ambush location sooner or later, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to disappear.

It is not easy to control cavalry with steps. Although there are many changes in the eight formations, if you want to suppress the enemy's rushing rhythm and make appropriate responses, there are extremely high requirements for the entire army, from the general to the ordinary soldiers.Especially the various chariots and crossbows equipped in the camp cost even more than the entire army's armour.

If it weren't for Xingtai's rich family background, if it wasn't for Xie Ai himself, who is an inexhaustible military genius, if it wasn't for him being able to gain the trust of the general, commanding tens of thousands of troops for several years for long-term training, it would be impossible to arrange such a plan. A powerful battle formation.

Even if the above conditions are met, Xie Ai did not dare to fully lay out the formation before. Although the number of soldiers of the 64th Battalion seems to be quite large, if they are laid out in a large formation covering tens of miles, it is difficult to echo each other.

The cavalry has always been known for its rapid attacking rhythm. Once there is a slight mistake in the coordination between the battalions, it is possible that one or two camps will be broken by the rangers of the Jie army, causing loopholes in the formation and causing the overall collapse.Every time the large formation is extended, the requirement for the master's control is doubled, and the chance of self-defeating is too high.

Therefore, there must be enough cavalry in the camp as a reserve team. Once a certain change cannot be made in time, the mobile force of the cavalry will be required to rush up to hinder the enemy's offensive rhythm, so as to continue to make use of the subsequent changes.

If it wasn't for the lack of mobility of the king's division at the beginning of the war, and the fact that the right-wing Yanzhou army did not arrive at the battlefield area within the scheduled time, making it difficult for the central army to advance alone, and was suppressed by Xiangguo's Jie army, Xie Ai would not have made such a request Too harsh a battle formation.In the final analysis, although the eight formations are strong, they are still more defensive than offensive in terms of application, and they are too cumbersome.

But once the formation is laid, the power will soon be revealed.Through the expansion of the large formation layer by layer, the suppression of the Cavalry cavalry can be offset to the greatest extent, so that the Central Route Army can always keep advancing. Now it has gradually approached the outside of Xiangguo City, and the siege is imminent.

After all, Xiangguo's cavalry is not small, more than [-]. If it does not have a force several times that of the enemy's, it will be difficult to completely siege the city.And even with such superior military strength, the Jie army may not necessarily defend the city. Once they go out of the city to fight in the field before the siege, there will be too many variables, not to mention that Xindu will have reinforcements arriving at any time.

Probably the Jie army also felt the crisis of the advancement of the Wangshi formation layer by layer, because it was during this period of time that they frequently buckled the formation and wanted to overwhelm the Wangshi formation.

For example, the Cavalry cavalry of the Jie army on this road now, although they were blocked by the sword and chariot battle array, went around the hill, regardless of the danger of the arrow tower shooting, they still outflanked Deng Yijun. Human life, but due to the amazing speed of the horse, he finally broke through the periphery of the battle formation, only one distance away from the retreating Deng Yijun.

However, when the Jie army bypassed the mound along the way, there were already [-] cavalry lined up behind the mound waiting for the battle. As soon as the drum order to attack sounded from the nearest command tower, they rushed out from behind the mound like a strong arrow Straight towards the flank of the Jie army along the way.

There is no lack of open space in the large formation. There is no barracks and chariot formations for several miles around here, which are reserved for the cavalry to charge and kill.The Jie army who rushed to the near side was also shocked when they heard the horseshoes on the flanks thundering.

"Shen Shi! It's Shen Shi..."

The shadow of a man's famous tree, Shen Yun and Fenwu's great reputation in the country of Jie, it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood piled up high, once a soldier of Fenwu appears in the battle, it means a tragic death for the Jie army .

Because as the army rushed out, the Jie army soldiers were already defeated without a fight. The front road may have continued to rush forward for a certain distance, but the back road was already full of horror, and they reined in their horses and turned their heads. out.

When the Fenwu soldiers arrived, more than half of the thousands of Jie soldiers along the way had already retreated in a hurry, and they had to pay a price of hundreds of lives to break out of the range of the mound.And the Jie army, who were still in the formation, had lost their courage and fled in all directions in the battle formation, but they were calmly shot and killed by the soldiers of the king's division who surrounded them along the way!

"That's exactly what a man should do!"

Deng Xia was detained by his uncle in the chariot formation, seeing the Fenwu Jingqi rushing out and smashing the enemy soldiers away before they could fight, his childish face was full of reverence, wishing he could Replace it with your body.

Just relying on his prestige, he scared away the offenders, but Shen Yun didn't show much excitement. He rode his horse forward, his whole body was full of laziness, and even the pocket was hung on the saddle without wearing it.

His Fenwu army was arranged in the front line to escort the advance of the front line, and he couldn't attack easily, which really made him lose interest.Xiangguo is a revisit for him. Although he knows that he was lucky enough to break through the city last year, but now he is confined to the camp and cannot go out to kill the enemy at will. It is always a bit depressed.

However, after seeing the young man Deng Xia in the opposite car formation, Shen Yun's face was filled with joy. Just now he was on standby in the formation, and he also saw the young man beheading the enemy general. He loved his courage and waved to the young man. Walking to the front, after looking up and down, he said with a smile: "The boy is very brave, if you catch up with me a little bit, would you like to join the Fenwu Camp?"

"I, I... the last general, the last general..."

Deng Xia is just a young man with a youthful heart. He worships Shen Yun who is brave enough to conquer the capital. When he heard that he was appreciated by Shen Shi and solicited him, he was so excited that he was at a loss. He was so excited that he could hardly speak. He fell headlong in front of Shen Yun's horse, and said loudly: "I wish to go down with Marquis Shen, and kill the thief!"

On the other side, Deng Yi saw this scene, his face inevitably changed a little, and he wanted to speak out to stop him. After all, this nephew is very brave, and even his elder brother regards him as the successor of his own achievements, and he is ready to take over after a little experience. However, if he joins the Fenwu Army at this point, it will be difficult to return to Jingzhou.

However, seeing Deng Xia's joyful face, and the scenes of personnel and affairs that he had seen since he marched north, he quickly dispelled the idea of ​​stepping forward to stop him. Erlang is brave and reliable, and he cannot be confined to the family as a dog.

After pondering for a while, he strode forward and saluted Shen Yun with fists: "The family is young and inferior, and I can be trained under Marquis Shen, thank you Marquis Shen for his blue eyes!"

After Shen Yun heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at the young man whose face was flushed with excitement, and nodded, as if he had recognized this student.
