Liu Zhong was very excited when he heard that Yang Anxuan mentioned langzhen, and he couldn't help but asked: "Anxuan, what is langzhen?"
"Langzhen is an old and solid bamboo from the mountain. The end of the bamboo is beveled into a sharp shape, leaving sharp branches around it. It is about ten feet long, and a sharp blade is tied to the front..."
Yang Anxuan pulled out a piece of paper and drew a schematic diagram of the wolf trap on the paper. He had studied the chess, piano, calligraphy and painting before finalizing them, so it was not difficult to draw them.
Everyone looked at the wolf thorns on the branches in the picture and imagined what this thing looked like. Meng Longfu took a breath and said: "This thing is really difficult to control. When it dances, it can be controlled within a radius of several feet. Yang How did the general come up with it?"
"It was taught by the Taoist priest of the Song Dynasty in Luoyang City." Yang Anxuan said.
Liu Zhong and others were greatly envious. How could they not have such an opportunity?
Yang Anxuan continued: "Behind the wolf spear, there are three spearmen or iron forkmen on each side to take care of the shield bearers and wolf spearmen in front. Two swordsmen are placed at the end of the formation, ready to engage the enemy in close combat."
Yang Anxuan did not completely copy the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation. Yang Anxuan made some modifications, changing thirteen people into seventeen people. He pointed at the empty space in the formation and said: "There are four archers in the middle, shooting arrows outward. This formation is called..."
Feeling that the mandarin duck and butterfly formation was not powerful enough, Yang Anxuan paused and changed his name: "This formation is called the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth. Seventeen people form an formation. They can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, attack from a distance, and fight at close range. , ever-changing.”
Liu Zhong and Zhou You are experts, and they carefully appreciate the changes in the formation in their hearts. The more they think about it, the more mysterious it becomes.
Zhou You raised his head and smiled: "General Yang, with this formation, it is indeed possible to defeat the Beifu Army."
Yang Anxuan went on to explain in detail how the formation evolved, the responsibilities of the captain, shield bearer, wolf bearer, spearman, archer, how to march, charge, guard, support, etc.; if the enemy encounters a roundabout attack in actual combat, the dagger hand should How to go forward and fight, with a clear division of labor and everyone performing their duties.
"In this battle, including Yu, there are a total of fifty-one people, forming exactly three formations. The key to this formation is the overall cooperation and the execution of orders and prohibitions in order to defeat the enemy." Yang Anxuan put down his pen and slapped a few words on the table.
Standing straight and looking across everyone's faces, Yang Anxuan said solemnly: "In five days, I ask you to practice the formation skillfully. This battle is related to whether Yu can lead the three thousand Beifu troops north to Luoyang. I hope you can help me." .”
After saying that, Yang Anxuan bowed deeply, and everyone returned the bow, and responded in unison: "You fools will definitely go all out."
…………
The Beifu Army stationed 20,000 troops at Jingkou, and there were also 20,000 soldiers and horses in Guangling on the other side of Jingkou. The other 40,000 troops were distributed in Qing, Gun and other places.
There are school military fields at the four gates of Jingkou, and next to the school fields are the garrison camps.
Yang Anxuan led fifty warriors from the patrolling camp across the city from the north gate to the south school field where the competition took place. The martial arts competition is already underway, and it is only three quarters from the beginning of the day, and there is still more than half an hour left.
The school grounds were crowded with people. When Yang Anxuan and others walked into the school grounds, it was like pouring a ladle of water into hot oil, boiling and filling the sky.
"This is the man from the Jiangjiang Camp. He won a battle with General Liu. He is so arrogant that he dares not to take our Beifu Army seriously."
"Don't tell me, the people from the river patrol battalion lined up in two columns and looked like they were walking neatly."
"Walking is good for nothing. When you get on the field, beat the shit out of them."
"Boys from the patrol camp, your feet must be weak."
"What are those boys carrying? Hey, they actually carried all the bamboo. It's so funny."
The laughter and curses came like a tide, one after another.
There were two to three thousand people around the school grounds. Under the gaze of everyone, many people in the river patrol camp who lined up in two columns felt the pressure and their legs became weak.
When Yang Anxuan was training the soldiers of the patrol camp, he divided and taught the movements of standing, sitting, walking and lying down.
Noticing that some of his subordinates were walking deformed under pressure, Yang Anxuan sang loudly: "Wearing iron armor and carrying a long sword. Fighting with me, the road is long..."
This war song from the Eastern Han Dynasty was quite popular in the army. Yang Anxuan had people teach it during breaks, and everyone in the patrol camp could sing it.
Liu Zhong and Zhou You understood immediately and loudly joined in Yang Anxuan's singing, "We share the same enemy, we live and die together. We fight with you, and our hearts are not slack..."
The song became louder, and everyone in the patrol camp sang in unison, "I'm stepping on Qin's Yan, chasing Hu'er. I'm fighting with my son, and I'm fearless in singing."
Yang Anxuan cleverly changed "Ta Yan Ran Xi" to "Ta Qin Yan Xi", and the song became more majestic and heroic according to the occasion.
The soldiers of the patrol camp sang war songs loudly, their steps became firm and orderly, their minds calmed down, and they looked forward to the victory under the attention of all the troops.
The officers and soldiers of the patrol camp sang loudly as they entered the school grounds, attracting the attention of many interested people.
In the west corner of the school ground, more than ten people stood with arms folded. General Huan Xiu of the left guard was guarded by his personal guards in the middle.
Huan Xiu smiled at Zhu Lingshi beside him and said, "Lingshi, this is the result of Yang's military training as you said, and it is quite pleasing to the eye."
Zhu Lingshi paid attention to Yang Anxuan, who was walking on the side of the queue. Yang Anxuan held his head high and his chest high, as if there was no one around, and he was so heroic.
Secretly admiring him, he pointed at Yang Anxuan and introduced to Huan Xiu: "General, the one wearing black leather armor is Yang Anxuan."
The singing was heroic, the noisy sarcasm and discussion gradually subsided, and the campus of the University of Hong Kong became quiet. Only about fifty people from the patrol camp could be heard singing loudly.
On the east side, a rammed-earth platform was built. The platform was about ten feet high, seven feet long and two feet wide. There were wooden ladders placed under the platform, with a five-foot-round drum on each side. Flags were planted all around the platform. .
Liu Yu led fifty people to stand on the left side of the general platform. He watched the soldiers of the patrol camp striding forward under the leadership of Yang Anxuan, with their heads held high and their chests high. He praised: "It's wonderful to boost morale with singing!"
The Beifu Army recommended Liu Yu as the general to lead the army, and he would lead the army in this competition with the Jiangsu Patrol Camp.
Although the Xunjiang Camp was majestic, Liu Yu was full of confidence. The fifty men behind him were selected warriors from the Beifu Army. Liu Yi, Meng Huaiyu, Tan Pingzhi, and Zhu Qianzhi were all among them.
Liu Yu attached great importance to this contest. He had been in the Beifu Army for many years and served as Sima of the General's Palace. He had few opportunities to lead the army alone. Three thousand men and horses, this is his opportunity to rise, and he must not miss it.
Governor Wang issued an order through Liu Lao that only victory was allowed in this competition and no defeat was allowed.
Liu Yu looked at his opponent carefully, saw the Meng Long Fu holding a shield next to Yang Anxuan, and asked: "Huaiyu, is the person holding the shield next to Yang Anxuan your younger brother?" "
Meng Huaiyu saw his younger brother when Meng Longfu entered the arena and responded: "Exactly, I didn't expect Brother Yu to be the last one."
Liu Yu laughed and said, "It's common for military lieutenants and colonels to meet brothers. If Huaiyu feels inconvenienced, I'll try my best to prevent you from running into your younger brother."
He turned around and said loudly to the crowd: "The great army in the world belongs to Beifu. You are all elites in the army. Today, let the people in the river patrol camp see the power of our tigers and wolves."
"Nuo", whether bold or clear or deep, is neatly integrated and rises into the sky, competing with the singing.
Drums rumbled, and dozens of light riders escorted several ox carts slowly into the school grounds.
The bullock cart stopped at the edge of the stage. Wang Gong got out of the front cart. Instead of walking directly to the stage as before, he stood beside the cart and waited.
Sima Yuanxian, a handsome young man wearing a golden crown and brocade robe, stepped out of the second bullock cart with a smile on his face.
After Dong Huai returned to Beijing, he reported Wang Gong's plan to compete with Yang Anxuan to select generals to Sima Daozi. Sima Daozi said: "Since Yang Anxuan has the guts to bet with Wang Gong, maybe he can give me a surprise. The Fifth Military Department will send someone to represent the court to watch the battle and support him."
The sergeant, Sima Yuanxian, asked for his orders: "Father, I would like to take a quick trip so that I can see the great army of Beifu."
In this way, the generals and servants, Sima Yuanxian, the prince of Kuaiji, and Dong Huai, the minister of foreign troops, came to Jingkou to watch the battle on behalf of the court.
When Sima Yuanxian got out of the car, Wang Gong cupped his hands and said expressionlessly: "Sima Shizhong, please."
The two of them took the stage side by side. Liu Laozhi, Huan Xiu, Dong Huai and the generals of the Beifu Army and Zuowei Army took the stage one after another. The stage was full of people.
Yang Anxuan and Liu Yu each led their subordinates who participated in the battle and lined up on the left and right below the stage. After Wang Gong and others stood still, they bowed and saluted.
Sima Yuanxian looked at the two teams in the audience, and he couldn't tell the difference in terms of momentum. Yang Anxuan was indeed somewhat confident that he dared to fight with the Beifu Army.
Wang Gong said solemnly: "Today's competition will determine who will lead the reinforcements going north. You must not slack off."
All the troops agreed in unison. Wang Gong showed his intention to Sima Yuanxian, and Sima Yuanxian announced loudly: "The competition begins."
The drums rumbled again, making people's scalp numb. Yang Anxuan and Liu Yu bowed to each other, and each led their men to retreat to the left and right of the general platform, more than two hundred steps away.
Just as Yang Anxuan stood still, Liu Yu urged his horse to come fifty steps away and shouted loudly: "General Yang, you are the commander of the patrol camp, and Yu is the leader of the Beifu army. Why don't we compete first."
Just now, the soldiers of the patrol camp entered the school grounds singing loudly. Their morale was high, and Liu Yu knew that he had met a powerful enemy. I thought that today's battle would be like a devastating victory, but now it seems not optimistic.
The general is the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers are the power of the generals. Today's battle is not only related to whether he can lead the army northward, but also the prestige of the Beifu Army.
Liu Yu was confident in his martial arts. He had to be taught by experts, and because of his extraordinary talent, he had few opponents among the Beifu army.
Taking the lead, he defeated Yang Anxuan, which dampened the Xunjiang camp's enthusiasm and made the rest of the competition easier. Liu Yu rode his horse and raised his stick, galloping around the school grounds to wait.
Horse hooves kicked up smoke and dust in the school grounds, and the Beifu Army cheered in unison, gaining great authority.
Seeing that the Beifu army was so powerful, Wang Gong stroked his beard and asked the Beifu generals beside him: "Who is this general? He is so brave."
Sun Wu was full of joy and responded: "It's Liu Yu, the Sima of General Yu's Mansion."
Liu Laozhi added: "This man is a capable general in the army, and he is very resourceful. I am going to let him lead the army to Luoyang."
Wang Gong nodded and said: "Such brave generals should indeed be allowed to kill enemies on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds, and should not be left abandoned in the tents."
Yang Anxuan watched Liu Yu show off his power, and thought that history books said that Liu Yu once fought with dozens of people against thousands. In the end, all his subordinates died in battle, but he could actually defeat a thousand troops with one man.
Although the history books written by the victors are exaggerated, it is true that Liu Yu conquered the world as a warrior, and this man's bravery can be seen.
When they first met on Yangzhong Shazhou, Yang Anxuan was eager to fight, and Liu Yu's appointment to fight played into Yang Anxuan's ambitions. Yang Anxuan took the spear used in the competition, mounted his horse and headed towards Liu Yuchi.
In the military competition, real swords and guns are rarely used, and powder packets are tied to the front ends of wooden sticks and gun shafts, so that hitting the opponent's hand can leave a mark and not hurt anyone.
When Liu Yu saw Yang Anxuan galloping out, he immediately galloped his horse to meet him. Two streaks of smoke and dust were like sharp arrows, shooting towards each other and colliding with each other.
When competing at the Beifu Military Academy, Liu Yu had the home court advantage. The jujube stick in his hand was selected from many instruments. It was as thick as a duck egg and about ten feet long. Compared with the stick made of bamboo and ash, The pole is much heavier and sturdier.
As the two horses approached, Liu Yu raised his stick and struck it at Yang Anxuan. The stick whistled sharply.
Yang Anxuan shook the gun shaft in his hand. The shaft was made of ash wood and was used as a training gun in the military. It was light and erratic.
The true energy penetrated into the shaft, and the shaft became extremely tough. The jujube stick hit the gun shaft, causing the shaft to bend in an exaggerated arc. The stick in Liu Yu's hand collapsed due to the force of the rebound.
Yang Anxuan shouted loudly, took advantage of the jujube stick to swing high, and stabbed Liu Yu in the chest with his gun.
Liu Yu secretly thought that it was not good, and turned towards the horse, and the pewter gun barrel passed by against the leather armor.
The two horses were staggered, and Liu Yu sat back on the horse again, breaking into a cold sweat. He thought he could easily defeat Yang Anxuan, but he didn't expect that he was almost stabbed by a gun when they first met.
There was a chorus of exclamations on the campus, and the exclamations of thousands of people were like thunder, which made the generals in Taipei Prefecture feel solemn.
After circling the horse and fighting again, Liu Yu struck out with his stick like the wind, causing the shaft to tremble. Yang Anxuan struck steadily, and the gun shaft swam like a strange beast. The angle was tricky and difficult to guard against.
The powder packets tied around the barrel and the body of the stick caused white powder to fly like fine snow. A layer of white powder fell on both of them, and even their mounts changed color.
The two people on the field were like dragons and tigers. Liu Laozhi became excited and ordered: "beat the drum to cheer."
The drums beat like exploding beans, and the three armies shouted: "Mighty, mighty."
At the home ground of the Beifu Army, there was a chorus of cheering voices for Liu Yu, "General Liu is about to succeed", "General Liu is ready to win"...
The sound is like a wave, making people's hearts surging. Liu Yu cheered up and flew up and down with the jujube stick in his hand, becoming more and more courageous as he fought.
