Outside the city, Yang Xiu and Guo Huai led the army to wait for half an hour, and they did not see a single Zhao soldier figure come out.The two of them felt more and more that something was wrong, and in their experience, a few had experienced many battles, but they had never seen such a situation, and they were indifferent to the enemy's army approaching their homes.This is either looking down on everyone, or something big happened in the army, otherwise no matter what, there should be a response.Seeing that there was no movement in the Zhao army's camp until now, Guo Huai really lost all his patience, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Yang Xiu, these Zhao troops shouldn't be deliberately playing tricks on us."
We led the army and horses here, but we have been waiting for almost half an hour, and we haven't even seen a single figure until now, or we will directly lead the army to rush in and have a big killing" Listening to Guo Huai's words, even Yang Xiu, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but be slightly angry, these Zhao Jun were really a little too insulting to themselves.But even so, Yang Xiu didn't dare to attack on a big scale, after all, the enemy army had 100,000 troops and horses, and he only brought 20,000 people this time, once he fell into the enemy's encirclement, it would be really disadvantageous.But if he returns with the army like this, I am afraid that he will be made a joke, and even the morale of the soldiers of Army B will plummet, and his prestige in the army will be lost in the future.Just when Yang Xiu didn't know how to decide, he suddenly saw a group of figures in the camp of the Zhao army, Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then saw those people and horses slowly walking towards the outside of the camp tent, that is, in his own direction.The first general rode a horse and held a gun, and the sergeant behind him held a flag with the word "Wen", and there should be about 10,000 soldiers and horses behind him."
These Zhao troops have finally eliminated people and horses to fight, looking at the text at the beginning, presumably this will be the leader of the Jingzhou Wenpin."
After seeing this change, Guo Huai couldn't help but let out a breath and said, and then couldn't help but say angrily again: "This guy is really a little too blind, and he actually has a leisurely and complacent look when he comes to fight, which really makes people angry when they see it, I really want to go forward and kill him with one move." ”When the Wei army came to line up outside the camp, the military advisor Xu Shu specially ordered everyone to wait carefully and waited for half an hour.Seeing that those Wei troops were a little impatient, and their morale and physical strength had dropped greatly, Xu Shu ordered Wen Ping to lead 10,000 horses to meet the battle.And he and Zhao Yan, the king of the right sage, led Pang De and Cheng Gongying to follow behind, quietly watching the battle between the two armies.When Wen Ping led the soldiers and horses out of the camp slowly and began to line up, he invisibly felt the resentment of the Wei army on the opposite side.Wen Ping wanted to laugh again, but he had to hold back his voice, and put on a look of indifference according to the instructions of the military advisor Xu Shu, and went to line up outside the camp.Seeing that Wen Ping led the army to start arraying, he heard Yang Xiu suddenly speak: "General Guo Huai, change the formation, a long snake formation." ”After hearing Yang Xiu's words, Guo Huai immediately began to change his formation, and all the large armies were lined up to confront the enemy.Looking at this situation, Na Wen Ping couldn't help but be stunned, his own leading soldiers and horses was just an ordinary formation, and the other party was completely opposite to the formation.The so-called formation is the field formation of the ancient army.From the beginning of the clan society, human warfare was manifested as tribal conflicts, there was no army at that time, and there was no command, and the battles were mostly rushed up, like group fights, so naturally there was no "formation".With the development of history, slave countries appeared, and slave owners began to form organized armies in order to consolidate their rule and plunder slaves, and adopted a certain formation, which was the original "formation".The "array" appeared in the process of the formation of the army, because of the need to organize the army and command the battle, and integrated the achievements of ancient military science and tactics.As for the later formations, they are the formations practiced by some outstanding military strategists and generals after years of bloody battles and countless casualties after hundreds of years and thousands of years of conquest and drills.Just after Guo Huai set up a long snake formation according to Yang Xiu's meaning, Zhao Yan and others in the army couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the changes in the Wei army, Zhao Yan couldn't help but blurt out: "Military division, can the formation of this Wei army be a long snake formation" Xu Shu said at the moment: "What King Youxian said is right, this is exactly the long snake formation, which ranks the army in a row and deduces it according to the habits of the snakes."
There are three changes in the long snake array, and from these three changes, the long snake array operates, like a giant python attacking to hunt for food, and the attack is fierce and particularly fast.Attack the head of the snake, move the tail, and attack the enemy army with two rolls; Attack the snake's tail, the first move, and the snake spits out the letter and bites it. ”"It's not difficult to deal with a long snake formation, the long snake formation is a kind of sharp and agile, not a brave formation, and its own flexibility and mobility all lie in the two places at the beginning and the end.Therefore, it is affirmed that the two wings of the Wei army this time are relatively mobile cavalry, and we only need to limit the two wings of the cavalry of this long snake formation, so that the enemy's formation cannot take care of each other.So the best way is to grab the head of the snake, catch the tail of the snake, and cut off the waist of the snake. ”Zhao Yan said thoughtfully: "The meaning of the military advisor is to let our soldiers attack together in three ways to cut off the enemy's head and tail exercises." ”Xu Shu explained: "According to the previous operations, cracking the long snake formation is to set a trap in the infantry formation.Use two infantry phalanxes to help stop the movement of the opposing cavalry's two wings, making it impossible for them to use their flexibility.Then the strong heavy cavalry was the mainstay, and launched a fierce attack on the middle, so that the enemy's long snake formation was scattered and disconnected from the middle, making its snake head, snake body, and snake tail useless. ”"But this time, when the enemy saw General Wenpin's formation, he put on a long snake.It is to attack our army with the help of flexible formations, so that General Wenpin's army cannot follow the rhythm of his attack, which leads to the self-confusion of the army.With the ability of the general Wenpin, it is enough to be able to single out the snake body of the enemy's long snake, and we also have two generals Pang De and Cheng Gongying, who were born in Xiliang, with their riding skills and tactics, as long as they each lead the second army, there should be no problem in containing the first and last armies of the enemy. ”When Xu Shu said this, he suddenly turned to Pang De and Cheng Gongying on both sides and said: "Where are General Pang De and General Cheng Gongying" Hearing Xu Shu's shout, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly stepped forward and arched their hands: "The last general." ”"This time, there are two generals, Lao each leading an army, General Pang De is responsible for leading the army to attack the head of the enemy's formation, and General Cheng Gongying is responsible for leading the army to attack the tail of the enemy's formation.No matter how strong the enemy army is, the two of you must hold back the two armies and not let them escape, so as to give General Wen Ping and attack the belly of the snake.However, if you two are brave, it would be better to capture the enemy general.Remember, once the two of you have led the army, attack quickly, and contain the Wei army before they change formation, so that you can win a big battle. ”After Xu Shu finished speaking, he smiled at the two.Pang De and Cheng Gongying immediately clasped their hands together and clasped their fists, and said to Xu Shu: "Please rest assured, the two of us will definitely go all out to meet the Wei army, take down the leader of the Wei army in one fell swoop, and dedicate it to the military division." ”As the two of them fell behind, they said goodbye to Xu Shu, and each led a group of soldiers and horses from both sides of the camp to prepare for an attack, and all this was done quietly.In order to allow these two cavalry to make a surprise attack, Xu Shu even sent someone to send a signal to Wen Ping to provoke the Wei army.Seeing this, Yang Xiu and Guo Huai immediately urged the army to start killing the Zhao army on the opposite side.Don't look at the long snake formation, the team is long, but it is particularly flexible to launch, but this is also the effect that can be achieved after the cavalry on both sides of the formation can be consistent with the cavalry army in the middle.Just as the armies of the two sides were about to collide, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded from both sides of Wen Ping's rear.In this regard, no one in the army of Wen Ping had any doubts, but after hearing this sound, the whole army was murderous and rushed straight to the enemy army on the opposite side.When it was the army of Yang Xiu and Guo Huai, after hearing this, they couldn't help but look up, but they saw that at some point, two large groups of cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear of the enemy army.Moreover, the two cavalry were each murderous, and the direction in which they were galloping was the head and tail of the long snake formation.When looking at the oncoming enemy cavalry, Yang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to change the soldiers around him.However, although Yang Xiu reacted sensitively, in this case, it was probably not so easy for tens of thousands of troops to make temporary changes.Let Yang Xiu then shout, but the sound of the enemy's oncoming iron horses trampling on the horse, trampling the earth and trembling, Yang Xiu could only stubbornly command the snake head of the long snake formation to move closer to the snake's belly.In the case of such a three-sided assault by the enemy, setting up a long snake formation is equivalent to letting the enemy break through according to one, and only by quickly approaching and gathering the large army can we resist the enemy's siege on all sides and three sides.But no matter how smart Yang Xiu is, in the current situation, everything is useless.After all, this was a flat terrain, and the enemy's cavalry came too quickly, and before Yang Xiu could make a big change, the enemy army had already rushed forward and slammed into the head of the snake of his own army.As soon as the two armies touched, a miserable howl broke out in an instant, and this time it was Zhao Yu's general Pang De who rushed to kill the head of the snake.I saw Pang De taking the lead, dancing up and down with a big sword, harvesting the lives of those Wei soldiers, and no one could stop him wherever he went.Yang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the enemy general so brave, just when Yang Xiu was surprised, he suddenly saw the enemy turn around, his eyes locked tightly, raised the big knife in his hand and galloped towards him, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Yang Xiu, take your life." ”:
