Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 484

Zhu Yousong immediately sent an order to transfer the water division camp and rushed to Guandu to stand by.

After more than half a year of training by He Zhaoxiong, 5000 newly recruited sailors have begun to take shape. In addition to the original old navy battalion, not counting the Caojiang navy in Nanjing, the newly established navy battalion now has nearly [-] troops. A force to be reckoned with.

On the day of watching the battle, Zhu Yousong arranged the affairs of the camp, and let the one-eyed general Ma Wannianzhi and the young arrow general Zhang Huan be in charge of the camp's defense temporarily.

Just after morning, Zhu Yousong and Du Yinxi, the left servant of the Ministry of War, appeared at the small high slope that had been stepped on in advance.

This small high slope is only more than ten miles away from the camp of the Ming army, and it is closer to the Yellow River. Standing on it immediately, the Dashun Army's company battalion can be seen all the way to the Yellow River. This is also the place Li Zicheng recommended for them to watch the battle .

But in order to ensure safety, yesterday, Li Quan led people to find out the surroundings, confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in this area, and left Jin Yiwei to protect it until Zhu Yousong's team of observers arrived.

Zhu Yousong and Du Yinxi immediately went to Xiaogaopo. The reason why Zhu Yousong brought Du Yinxi was because he was a man who knew the soldiers, and he also wanted him to come and observe the formation, so as to make suggestions for breaking the formation.

The accompanying escorts included Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and a small number of Jin Yiwei. Zhao Fu and five hundred fusiliers were waiting below Xiaogaopo.

According to the time of later generations, at around 9:[-] in the morning, there was movement in the company battalion of the Dashun Army.

The gate of the camp was wide open, and a Dashun army came out continuously, and a special vehicle was pushed out in the middle.

Zhu Yousong has never seen this kind of vehicle in his previous life or in this life. The size of the car is about the same as that of a small truck in later generations, but it is all made of wood, with two big wooden wheels. One car is pulled by two large animals, about Hundreds of cars.

The car was covered with a red cloth. At the beginning, Zhu Yousong thought it was the cannon he pulled.In my heart, if you want to use cannons to set up the formation, I will use red cannons to break the formation!

This team soon reached the bank of the Yellow River, waved the flag, and soon formed a formation by itself.The car is on the innermost floor, laid out in a straight line.Around the front, back, left, and right sides of the car are all soldiers, including archers and rattan players.

The whole formation is like a bow placed on the bank of the Yellow River.The bowstring is almost parallel to the bank of the Yellow River, and the back of the bow is facing Zhu Yousong's side.

The commander-in-chief of the formation was of course Li Zicheng, and he was standing beside the formation on a yellow pussy horse.

After seeing the big formation set up, he also noticed Zhu Yousong and others who were preparing to watch the formation on the high slope in the distance.

"Start the formation!" Li Zicheng gave an order, and Niu Jinxing in the center of the formation was the specific commander of the formation.

Niu Jinxing ordered again that the [-] soldiers in the formation will move according to the operating command.

Standing on a high place, Zhu Yousong was able to see clearly even though it was a few miles away. No matter how these soldiers moved in the formation, the formation as a whole or in terms of its appearance still had no picture. The bow of the arrow, in the middle of the big bow are these hundreds of special vehicles.

Zhu Yousong knew the ingenuity of this large formation, and it must be on these cars. What kind of formation is this?Is it a cannon on the car?
When Zhu Yousong and others were wondering, Dashun Army tore off all the red clothes on the car, revealing the true face of the car.

At this moment, Zhu Yousong saw clearly that the design of the car was very simple. Except for the two big wheels on both sides, there was a wooden frame, and the wooden frame was empty. How could there be any cannons?
If you look closely, these big wooden shelves seem to have something like ropes. Because they are far away, it is hard to see what it is.

On a car in the middle, a little girl was tied up and gagged, and Zhu Yousong recognized at a glance that it was Xiao Liu who disappeared on the battlefield a few days ago.

It took less than half an hour to finish viewing the formation. Except for these special vehicles, which I don’t know what to do, the rest of the soldiers and horses lined up in a big bow shape. They should be rattan players, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Du Yinxi, Ma Jinhua and others were puzzled, what kind of formation is this?Missing the moon array, what kind of array is this!Is this still called an array?They all cast puzzled looks at Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong frowned. He knew that what they saw was of course the surface. Li Zicheng would not fully demonstrate the power of the formation now. There must be a mystery in it when he really broke the formation, but where is the mystery?
"Lacking Moon Formation...Lacking Moon Formation..." Zhu Yousong repeated these words while working his mind quickly.

"Oh, I know!" Zhu Yousong's eyes suddenly lit up, "It turned out to be this kind of formation, and the little tricks really bluffed me!"

"Your Majesty, what kind of formation is this? What's the use of those broken cars?" Du Yinxi, Ma Jinhua and other generals couldn't understand. Of course, Zhu Yousong couldn't talk to them here, and he didn't watch the formation anymore. After descending the high slope, he rode his horse back to the camp.

Niu Jinxing had no choice but to send an order to stop the performance and come to see Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, Zhu Yousong is gone."

"He won't see any flaws, will he?" Li Zicheng had noticed Zhu Yousong a long time ago, and when he saw their monarchs and ministers descending the high slope and walking away, suspicion arose in his heart.

"Impossible!" Niu Jinxing sneered disapprovingly, "Your Majesty, there is no flaw in this formation at all. Even if he recognizes this formation, so what? No one can break this formation!"

Only then did Li Zicheng feel relieved, and then He Niu Jinxing sent an order to close the formation and return to the company camp.

Zhu Yousong returned to the camp, and then he talked about the ins and outs of this formation, saying that it was a large formation recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which was set up by Liu Yu, the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. With more than 2000 troops, it severely damaged the [-] army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and became a legend and recorded in the annals of history.

All civil and military generals praised Zhu Yousong for being well-read and well-informed.

In fact, Zhu Yousong has never read any Zizhi Tongjian. The reason why he was able to recognize this formation is entirely from reading online novels of later generations before time travel.

After Zhu Yousong's little dial, Du Yinxi and Ma Jinhua suddenly realized.

Du Yinxi was already familiar with military books and war strategies, but it happened in the past hundreds of years. It was indeed recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Zuo Da Formation is the kind of Moonless Formation.

And Ma Jinhua learned about it from her grandma, Qin Liangyu. She just heard about it from her grandma, and she had never seen this battle before. This is indeed the kind of missing moon formation.

However, after Du Yinxi and Ma Jinhua recognized this formation, they couldn't help being shocked.

"Your Majesty, this formation is very powerful, don't take it lightly!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the Dashun army is putting their backs on their backs, which means that they are going to die. What's more, those chariots are extremely powerful. Unless they can be dealt with with red cannons, there is no way to break them."

He Xuanjiao said: "What if Xiao Liu is injured by breaking the formation with a cannon?"

"Your Majesty, let me be handed over to Li Zicheng. As long as I can get Xiaoliu back, I will make up for it. The minister (concubine) will have no regrets waiting for death." Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai all knelt when they saw Zhu Yousong's trouble. down the road.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yousong said: "I would rather go hostage to the intruders myself than hand over you. I will definitely break through the formation and rescue Xiaoliu. Get up, I already have a plan to break the formation."
