The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 467 Li Shimin Watches the Longmen Array

Chapter 467
Soon, Li Shimin, accompanied by Yu Chigong and others, came to the observation deck of Daying.Here you can see clearly the layout of the entire formation.

This watchtower was specially set up by Zhang Shigui.One is to be able to stand on a high place and watch the Longmen formation.The other one is that it can be avoided, Li Shimin and Xue Rengui contact.

When Li Shimin and others came to the watchtower.Zhang Shigui ordered to run the Longmen formation.Following Zhang Shigui's order, the Longmen Formation began to operate.

Directly at the dragon's head, there is a tall tower with a plain flag on the tower.A military general in a white robe was being supported by others, raising a command flag.

As he raised the first order flag, the entire formation began to undergo different changes.The first to appear was a dragon claw, and all the soldiers in this dragon claw were cavalry.

Under the leadership of Zhou Qing, like a whirlwind, they began to attack around the entire formation.They held long horse spears in their hands.

Put the horse on the neck of the horse, just charge forward.There is no need to use any tricks at all.With a dense formation, it can also cause a lot of damage to the opponent.

At this time, with the raising of the second order flag, the second dragon claw led by Jiang Xingben.Also started to run, this is a dragon claw composed of pikemen.

They hid in the cavalry of the first dragon claw, sticking out the spears in their hands from time to time.The fit is seamless.

As the third command flag was raised, the third dragon claw led by Jiang Xingba also moved immediately. It was a crossbowman.

Also hidden in the cavalry of the first dragon claw.From time to time, crossbow arrows are shot in parallel.At the same time, there are countless archers, throwing feather arrows in their hands outward.

With the raising of several other order flags, the nine dragon claws formed three iron streams.Cooperating with each other, they are entangled within the entire formation.

If there is an enemy army in the formation at this time, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be twisted into pieces by the three iron streams formed by the nine dragon claws.

But at this moment, the command flag was unfurled, and the Dragon Tail, which had been standing still, also began to move.This dragon tail is composed of an elite cavalry.

The whole dragon's tail protrudes from left to right and swings right, making the defense of the entire formation impenetrable.Even if a few elite cavalry came, they would never want to break through the defense of the dragon's tail.

Seeing that the entire formation was in constant motion, Li Shimin couldn't help shouting: "Okay, this is a truly invincible battle. It is worthy of being called the Longmen Great Array."

"Your Majesty, I, Yuchi Gong, have seen a lot of formations in my life as a soldier. But this is the first time I have seen something as mysterious as the Longmen formation." Yu Chigong laughed and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there seems to be something lacking in this formation. Why don't you call He Zongxian who is setting up the formation and ask him to explain this formation to us in detail." Xu Maogong saluted Li Shimin.

Hearing Xu Maogong's words, Zhang Shigui couldn't help cursing inwardly: "You are an old man, you know how to advise the emperor. One day, sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am Zhang Shigui."

Although he secretly scolded Xu Maogong in his heart, there was no hint of it on his expression.He could only salute to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will go and call He Zongxian here."

After Zhang Shigui got off the watchtower, Li Shimin, accompanied by Yu Chigong and others, also went back to the main tent of the Chinese army.Waiting for He Zongxian in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After all, the entire Longmen formation has been seen now, and there is no need to stand on the observation deck and be exposed to the wind and sun.

Zhang Shigui came in front of He Zongxian and first said to Xue Rengui: "You can take this Longmen formation, but just now the military adviser said that there seems to be something missing in this formation."

"I don't know if you know what is missing in this big formation. Why didn't you put it all together when setting up the formation."

"General Vanguard, this Longmen formation originally required a million soldiers. Now it only needs [-] soldiers to put it out. Naturally, it seems a little unsatisfactory."

"Originally, the nine dragon claws should be the three armies of heaven, earth, and people, and the three armies are intertwined. But now because of insufficient numbers."

"In addition, the tacit understanding of mutual cooperation is not enough. That's why it gives people this feeling." Xue Rengui said.

In fact, the original Longmen formation, not to mention using 5 horses to set it up.Even the Longmen Formation formed by 5000 people looks complete.

However, the Longmen formation that Xue Rengui set up seems to have some unsatisfactory reasons.That is, this Dragon Gate Formation is not the Dragon Gate Formation, but the Dragon Gate Formation of Hundred Beasts improved by Li Tai.

The Hundred Beasts Dragon Formation naturally needs the cooperation of the Beast Battalion.Now without the addition of the beast battalion, it naturally looks a little empty.

But Xue Rengui would not say that to Zhang Shigui.So they found an excuse of insufficient number of people and prevaricated Zhang Shigui.

Zhang Shigui didn't know the mystery of the Longmen formation, so he naturally nodded and believed it.Then let Xue Rengui go back to the camp to rest.He ordered people to carry He Zongxian to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After coming to the big tent of the Chinese army.Weng and son-in-law saluted Li Shimin and Yuchi respectfully.After getting up, Zhang Shigui supported He Zongxian, and reluctantly stood aside.

"I heard that you, General He, set up this Dragon Gate formation. I don't know where you got it, the diagram of this Dragon Gate formation." Li Shimin asked He Zhongxian.

In the past few days, He Zongxian had already thought up his speech, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Reporting to the emperor, this dragon gate formation is inherited from the last general's family."

"Unfortunately, the family is in decline, and there is no decent general to lead the army. Therefore, this dragon gate formation has gradually faded out of the world's vision."

"If there is no support from the emperor, it is estimated that this dragon gate formation will become a thing of history. It will never appear before the eyes of the world."

"It turned out to be a formation passed down by General He's family, but I found that there seems to be something missing in this large formation."

"I don't know, but the time is tight and it hasn't been put out, or the formation is not complete." Xu Mao asked He Zhongxian openly.

"Military divisions don't know, but the Dragon Gate formation needs millions of soldiers to form. The Dragon Gate formation has nine dragon claws, and every three dragon claws form an army. Nine dragon claws form the three armies of heaven, earth and man."

"It's a pity that only 5 people will be used at the end of the day, so this big formation doesn't seem to be full."

"It's not that there is something missing in the formation, let alone that the formation is incomplete." He Zongxian said.

"So that's the case, no wonder I always feel that there seems to be something lacking in the Longmen formation. It turns out that there are not enough soldiers in the Longmen formation." Xu Maogong nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if your Majesty is satisfied with the Longmen formation. If he is satisfied, then this Commander will record a great service for He Zongxian who set up the formation." Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin.

"I'm quite satisfied. General He deserves a heavy reward for setting up the Longmen formation with injuries." Li Shimin nodded and said.
