Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 511: Array of Yuli

"Israel is a gentleman, a villain who only advocates bad things!"

Seeing that Young Master Chao's clumsy performance came to an abrupt end, You Su, who was in the middle army, turned pale. 【No popup window..】

Since they entered the Song Kingdom, they can be called invincible, but Yousu has been feeling uneasy in his heart, because as long as the enemy's main force is not severely damaged, the war will not be decided. Therefore, this battle is extremely critical. Although he did not report any great hope to the three thousand people in Wei, he was better than nothing. Who would have expected that the master of Wei, the handsome son, would actually send him to the door before the two armies fought, and was captured alive!

If the teacher is successful, it can boost morale, but if it fails, it will only have the opposite effect. The effect of Gongzichao's unbearableness and capture was immediate, and the morale of the soldiers on their side plummeted, especially the guards who had managed to gather together, only to throw down their weapons and turn around and leave.

The coach has been captured, what else is there to fight? Originally, they came to foreign countries to help others. Naturally, they did not have the motivation to fight to the death. The son was incompetent when facing the imperial court.

Song's son Di and son Chen were in a hurry and rushed over to press them, but they couldn't control the situation for a while, seeing that the guards were about to collapse before the battle...

Fortunately, there is still the mainstay of swimming speed.

Yousu is nearly fifty years old, and he is no longer the young assistant under Zheng Zichan. He is the second minister of Zheng Guo, the suzerain of the You clan, with a noble status, second only to the ruling party, but Zichan and his father's teachings He kept it all in mind.

"Gou Li Sheji, live and die!"

He led the army for 20 years, pacified the pirates, destroyed the Xu country, and repelled the Yanghu invasion of the Lu country. For the sake of the state of Zheng's society, and for the continuation of the You clan, he went all over the place.

Like the Wei Kingdom, the Zheng people are also guest troops. Although they have a reputation for being cunning, their style is to use people's money and money to eliminate disasters for others. For example, when the price of Jin and Chu was high, Zheng was dependent on whom, and Chu was willing to cede the land of Rubei. King Gong of Chu paid the price of one eye in the battle of Yanling again, so Zheng Guo remained in the Chu League even if the situation was difficult, and he had to surrender to Jin until he was maimed by Jin.

Now, he supports a new monarch who is pro-Zheng in Song State. By the way, it is the goal of this battle to take down the gaps in the six cities. The ruling promises that the middle-level clan in the six cities can take the three cities by themselves. This is a great benefit!

Therefore, Yousu is the head coach of the coalition forces. Still a bit responsible, he asked Zheng Ren to help stabilize his position, forced the guards to return, and then quickly announced the reward after the victory.

The Zheng people who have no advantage and can't afford to get too early only recognize the benefits, do not eat in the morning and evening, do not lead the soldiers, do not reward before the war, and do not line up...

Applying this method to Weiren is naturally effective, no matter what. Morale must be boosted as soon as possible.

After receiving the promise of the reward, the guard returned to his position suspiciously, and You Su then assigned a You's son to take over the command of the guard.

At this point, everything is ready, just waiting for the drums to move forward...

During last year's war, Zhao Wuxi's name also spread to Zheng Guo, and he and You Wuzheng became one of the "good soldiers" alongside Yousu.

Of course, there is still a gap between everyone and masters like Taigongwang, Xianzhen, Sima Rangju, and Sun Wu.

Therefore, Yousu also has a faint meaning to challenge Zhao Wuxi: "I have to weigh up today, how many kilograms do you have!?"

The hand of victory and defeat has long been thrown, but the conspiracy must be accompanied by a dignified teacher. Yousu believed that with this invincible formation, combined with that side division, he would definitely be able to crush Zhao Wuxi's so-called "martial soldiers"!

He issued an order to form an array: "Song division Xiaoyi's soldiers will be the right rejection. The son will take it; the Wei division will be the left rejection, and you will head him; the Song division's public family will be the rear army, and the son of Chen will head him; I will lead the Zheng Ren for him. In the middle army, the second and third sons will be first and then the Wu, Wu Cheng will be stitched, and the formation of Yuli will be formed. Follow me to fight against Meng Zhu!"

...

"That's right, what Zheng Renzhongjun put up is the formation of Yuli..."

Looking at the enemy army that was starting to evolve, Zhao Wuxi said.

He had also learned the art of war with You Wuzheng, so he naturally knew of Zheng Jun's famous formation, but Sima Geng, who was too talkative and impatient, had already said it first.

"When Duke Zhengzhuang fought with King Huan of Zhou at Yuge, and defeated the combined forces of Zhou, Chen, Cai, and Wei, the king's shoulders in S, relying on the formation of Yuli..."

"Si Kou, please see, Zheng Junzhongjun has listed a large horizontal formation, which is divided into five sides, each with 1,000 people; It is a square formation, with chariots in the front, and the team of disciples following behind to make up for the gap."

Zhao Wuxi nodded. He could see that this formation changed the traditional chariot battle formation. The subordinate soldiers, who were usually placed behind the chariots, were distributed in units of five on the left side of each chariot. , right and rear, fill the gap between the car and the workshop, forming a car-step coordination square, because it looks like a fish scale, it is called "Fish Li Formation".

It's like the step-tank collaboration of later generations...

"Ziniu thinks, how should we deal with the enemy?"

Sima Geng's attention has been completely attracted by the Yuli Formation: "The most prominent feature of the Yuli Formation is to play the role of infantry as much as possible in the chariot battle, that is, first use the chariot to rush into the formation, and the infantry will surround the chariot and cover each other. , close coordination, can effectively kill the enemy, and the attack and defense are free, the swimming speed is really good. It should be defended with military pawns and heavy armor and spears! attack."

"But if you hit hard like that, the military pawn's losses will be greater..." Zhao Wuxi said in his heart, he pondered for a moment and looked at the battlefield.

Zhao Wuxi, as a well-received coach, can no longer fight on the front line like a thousand-person battle, he must look at the overall situation.

Although their location is not high enough, the terrain along the grass and swamp is low-lying and flat, so they can see as far as the eye can see: the shore is slippery, soft and muddy. The terrain is embellished with some trees. Located at the north and south ends of the battlefield in the center, the phalanxes of the friendly and the enemy's flags and soldiers densely covered look like square chess pieces...

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhao Wuxi has commanded a battle at the level of ten thousand people: when Zhao Yang attacked Linqiu, ten thousand people pulled out of the city, and he was just a bystander; during the Yanghu Rebellion, there were more than ten thousand soldiers and Chinese people in Lucheng. They formed a group, but Zhao Wuxi was only a participant, and it was too chaotic to command a unified command.

In the battle of the snowfield last year, 10,000 soldiers chased the 40,000 Qi army, which was the biggest scene Zhao Wuxi had ever seen in his past and present life, but he only used hundreds of light cavalry as a sharp blade in Zhao's army, and the sword-wielding one. The person is still his father, Zhao Yang.

Until today, he has only tasted the taste of holding an axe...

But there was not much emotional agitation, but it was like walking on thin ice in the abyss. Because one general is incompetent, and the three armies are involved, if you don't pay attention, you will end up buried in the bones.

Today's arrangement, that strategy, can it really work?

After looking at the situation, Zhao Wuxi suddenly asked Sima Geng, "Ziniu, have you ever seen a horse racing?"

...

"Horse racing? Although I have heard its name, I have never seen it with my own eyes." Sima Geng heard that this sport is popular in the newly built arena in Taoqiu of the Cao Kingdom, for people to guess the game, but the enemy is currently , What did the coach mention this for?

"The art of war is often hidden in common things. I suddenly remembered an incident I encountered in Taoqiu last year."

Sima Geng glanced at the battlefield. The scheduling of ten thousand people is a long process. It will take a while for the opponent's arrangement to be completed. The preparations here are generally ready, and there is still time to adjust. He has to be patient and listen.

Zhao Wuxi said: "Cao's ministers, scholars and merchants from other countries often come to me to race horses, and they set a lot of money as a bet. I have a great primeval horse bred by the Zhao family. Naturally, I have won many battles, but one day I lost. Now, obviously my horse is better, but I lost to two unknown taxis, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because those two scoundrels played a trick!"

"The horses participating in the race are divided into three categories: upper, middle, and lower according to their breeds and age. Generally, the horses are raced from top to top, middle to middle, and bottom to bottom. But on that day, they went down. I made a big bet, but when the game started, I sent a servant to deal with my servant..."

Sima Geng was puzzled and said: "Shang Si will not necessarily win against Shang Si, isn't it inevitable that you will lose?"

"Of course, but they also used the upper sect against my middle sire, and the middle sage against my lower sire, so they won two of the three battles and won the bet."

Sima Geng suddenly realized: "So it is! But the other generation is opportunistic, and it is wrong for Zitai to lose."

Zhao Wuxi smiled and said, "Although I lost the bet, I won an idea."

The whip in his hand pointed to the left flank of the enemy army that had already returned: "The guards are a guest army, and they have no fighting spirit. Now that the battle has not started, the coach has been captured by us, and the morale has dropped greatly, and it will collapse at any time. It is in vain for the rebel army of Song to reject it, this is the most vulnerable part of the enemy army, and it is for the subordinate."

He also pointed to the right wing of the enemy army that was slowly unfolding: "Xiaoyi soldiers of the Song country are the right wing, this army is the direct line of Le Daxin, and its combat strength is not weak, but it is not as good as Zheng Jun~www.wuxiahere.com~ It is for the sake of Zhong Si."

As for Shang Si, of course the five thousand people from the country of Zheng, Yu Su's plan was to use the solid Yuli formation to make a breakthrough in the middle and defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop.

Sima Geng's eyes lit up and said, "That's right, how is Zitai going to deal with it?"

how to respond?

If you want to rule the crowd like the few, you have to rely on the prestige of the general and the formation of the army; if you want to fight the crowd like the few, you have to rely on efficient command; if you want to be invincible, you have to correctly use the changes of "Qizheng"; attack For the enemy army, it is as easy as hitting an egg with a stone, the key is to hit the virtual with real...

Zhao Wuxi had made plans long before the war, and now he only needs to adjust his tactics slightly. The so-called tactic is to hit the enemy hard with the least damage to yourself!

He replied: "In war, like in horse racing, you can't just stare at the opponent's backbone. No matter how hard your fist hits the rhinoceros, it will hurt. On the contrary, if you can find your opponent's weakness, it can kill you with one blow... I'm ready Following the example of that horse race, the lower sire will fight against the enemy's upper sire, the middle sire will face the enemy's lower sire, and the upper sire will face the enemy's middle sire!"
