Yuan Futong rebelled, and Wen Zhong led his army to attack him.
Those who started the army must have been secretly preparing for many years, but those with three to five hundred people would not be able to rebel.
Yuan Futong led the seventy-two princes in the north to raise a rebellion. Some troops blocked Beibohou Chonghou Hu in Chongcheng and attacked fiercely. Yuan Futong himself led the army and swept across the entire north.
Wen Taishi needed to recruit troops from all over the place. It was located in the northeast of Dashang, close to the East China Sea, with convenient transportation. At the same time, he had accumulated a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance. Chentang Pass, which was the only great pass in the north of Dashang, was the gathering place for the army.
Use the strong Guancheng to block the enemy's first wave of attacks, suppress the damage caused by the war within the territory of the two hundred northern princes, and at the same time continue to gather the army for defensive counterattacks. This is Taishi Wen's strategy.
The army of the Shang Dynasty was camped outside the pass and was at loggerheads with Chentang Pass. Deng Chanyu's so-called "enemy army of one hundred thousand" was not to destroy the enemy, but to block it, buy time for armies from all over the place to gather, and at the same time demoralize the enemy.
Wen Zhong led a group of generals out of the camp to watch the battle. In Chentang Pass, the commander-in-chief Li Jing comforted his pregnant wife, rushed up to the pass in three steps, and looked into the distance.
"Pass my military order and set up the formation!" Deng Chanyu put on the attire of a military general again and kept galloping her horse through the crowd.
It is simply unrealistic to train 8,000 soldiers to be able to use their hands in the time spent on the road. The knowledge of this era is monopolized by the upper class, and the literacy rate of civilians is extremely low. Not to mention the barbarian soldiers, even many Deng family soldiers cannot tell the difference between left and right. .
She knew how to use the basic Taoist technique of spreading beans to form soldiers. In order to let the soldiers know where to run, temporarily creating some "bean soldiers" that could be controlled by her consciousness was the prerequisite for setting up the formation.
"Deng Xiu, lead 3,000 troops to guard the Kai, Xiu, and Sheng gates."
"Got the order!"
"Xiao Qiao! Lead your tribe to guard the three evil gates of death, shock, and injury."
"Yes! General!"
"I'm guarding Dumen and Jingmen, please run! Hurry up!"
The soldiers of the Deng family and the barbarians followed the "bean soldiers" with their heads down, making one circle here and two circles there, and the eight-door golden lock formation gradually took shape.
The formations used to confer gods are not the "formation diagrams" highly praised by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The hosts of these formations more or less need some spiritual skills.
There is a lot of content in the Heavenly Book about the formation of troops, most of which are the experiences of Emperor Xuanyuan in defeating Emperor Yan and Chi You.
Mother Lishan loved collecting stamps, and she also loved teaching formations.
Deng Chanyu has a good talent in this area, and the level of the magic weapon in her hand is high enough. In less than one stick of incense, the eight thousand soldiers arranged the eight gates according to the eight gates of Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open. The Golden Lock Formation has taken shape.
She took out her emerald light Liangyi lamp, and with the light green light flashing by, the soldiers in the eight gates were connected to each other with their yin and yang aura. Thousands of people guarded one gate. In a trance, it seemed like It was like eight golden portals really appeared in the air.
Wen Zhong stroked his beard and said nothing. The formation set up by Deng Chanyu was not too strict. Considering that the Deng family traveled thousands of miles from Nanjun to join the battle and went out to meet the enemy without rest, the general's high prestige was on the one hand. These soldiers are well-trained.
He immediately took the opportunity to boost morale.
"Look, the Deng family is loyal to the court and is not willing to rest for a moment when they come to Chentangguan. What about you? One says there is a shortage of food and grass, and the other says there is a shortage of equipment. Do you have a great businessman in your heart, or do you have any shame as a warrior? "
Wen Taishi trained his generals like his grandson. The general from Jiameng Pass, who is eight meters tall and looks like a mountain of flesh when sitting on the ground, is very aggrieved. These southern barbarians will cause trouble as soon as they come!
He had never heard of the word "involution", but he could understand its meaning.
He immediately clasped his fists and said angrily: "Please give the order, Grand Master, my brother is willing to fight to the death for the imperial court!"
In addition to the Demon brothers, several other generals also expressed similar views.
Wen Zhong was very satisfied. The military morale was available. Now it's time to look at the Deng family.
He opened the third eye on his forehead and looked in the direction of the formation eye. The Jie Jiao disciples were all good at formations. He could tell that the formation-defining treasure used by Deng Chanyu was extremely extraordinary, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.
Even Wen Zhong is a little envious. Nuwa Empress has so many magic weapons...
He was envious, and Li Jing of Chentang Pass was jealous.
He became a disciple of Master Du'e of West Kunlun. Master Du'e was a poor man. He said that Li Jing could never achieve immortality and could only enjoy wealth and honor in the world. He sent two words of blessing before leaving, and then let him go down the mountain empty-handed. After a master-disciple battle, I didn't even give him a hair...
Now when I saw that such a young man like Deng Chanyu could easily take out a treasure that I had never seen in my life, I felt very sad.
Deng Chanyu stood ready, and soon, Yuan Futong's vanguard army arrived in front of the formation.
She looked over from a distance and saw that Wen Zhong was not unjust for fighting for fifteen years. Except for giants like the Mo family brothers, all the generals of the Shang Dynasty rode horses. Even King Zhou rode a happy horse when he went into battle. Yuan Futong's men are different. These guys ride on all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards, wear animal skins, have strong muscles, and hold a variety of weapons.
Are these the seventy-two northern princes of Dashang?
If Nan Bohou had this kind of subordinates, the Deng family would not be able to defeat Nanjun even with a million-strong army.
Deng Chanyu felt like she was not fighting a human civil war, but fighting a group of orcs led by Gul'dan.
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
Knowing that she could not be discouraged, she immediately sent a message to the entire army through the halo of the Liangyi lamp.
"Steady your position! Cut off those who retreat! Cut off those who make noise! Hold the swords in your hands and show these northerners how powerful we are!"
The "orc" vanguard of the rebel army stopped, and several generals who looked like northern princes began to discuss.
The "businessmen" formed an array. As rebels, they definitely wanted to fight, but they still had to figure out how to fight.
Before they could figure out a strategy, bursts of loud singing came from the eight-door golden lock array opposite.
"On an auspicious day and a good time, General Mu will be happy to see the emperor. The jade ear is used to caress the long sword, and the jade ring is ringing. The jade mat is on the Yao mat, and the general's handle is beautiful. The steamed delicacies are with orchids, and the osmanthus wine is served with pepper. Pussy..."
The illiterate rebels looked at each other, their big copper-bell eyes full of confusion. What on earth was Nan Raccoon singing?
A few educated people were speechless. It was fine for southerners to sing a song, but was this song praising Donghuang Taiyi? This is the song of our demon tribe!
They didn't know why the enemy on the opposite side sang this song, but they could clearly see that the light green light covering the formation was getting stronger and stronger, and the power of the formation became stronger under the influence of the song.
"We can't let them continue singing! This formation is ordinary, they all obey the orders of a certain person." Yuan Futong's vanguard general is one of the seventy-two princes, named Bifang. He is a direct descendant of the demon god Bifang, and his body is a A large fiery red bird with only one leg, like a crane.
The blood of the demon god is still pure in the body of this pioneer general, but now facing the enemy's large formation, war songs, formation suppressing objects, and the formation host, all make him feel like a light is shining on his back. This formation cannot It's so broken, it's best to let others try it first.
