Huwang Tower.
It was quiet for a moment.
The people around Cheng Mu remained speechless at the same time.
Several people looked at it.
Inside Longhu Pass, you can see endless military camps.
That green presence became the focus of Cheng Mu's greatest attention.
Yinzhou Army...
Why did such a change occur at this time?
Cheng Mu was full of confidence in this southern expedition.
His purpose was very simple, which was to force the dying old emperor to come to him through war.
But today...
He always felt that his right eyelid kept twitching. He looked at the sky and wondered, God, finally no longer intends to favor him?
Why?
Why!
He has been waiting for thirty years!
If you follow your plan, Longyan's army will be defeated!
But the appearance of Yinzhou Army disrupted everything.
"Military strategist, they are fighting again!"
Suddenly, a subordinate came to report in a hurry.
Cheng Mu gritted his teeth and shouted: "A bunch of unlucky guys, how long have they been, and they are still fighting among themselves!"
He quickly ran down with the people.
…
"It's tomorrow..."
At this time, it was finally night.
Liu Zheng laughed at himself: "If your sister Yueru can't come, then we are really doomed."
Jiang Xuan said: "Brother, don't worry, Sister Yueru values credibility the most. If you say you'll arrive today, you'll arrive today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud noise outside.
"who?"
"I am Zheng Yueru from Yinzhou!"
Liu Zheng and others were immediately overjoyed and ran out.
Because it was already night, the security at Longhu Pass was relatively tight, to prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the night to cause trouble. A cavalry team suddenly appeared. How could they not investigate clearly?
"Zheng Yuru, who is this?"
"Is there a customs clearance document?"
"If not, just treat it as a minor crime and arrest him!"
There was a noise at the door, and many people looked over.
Liu Zheng and Jiang Xuan rushed over: "They are our people, they are ours!"
Looking under the light of the torch, Zheng Yueru had a dusty look on her face and dark circles under her eyes. When she saw Liu Zheng, she smiled, then tilted her head and fainted just like that.
"Mother, doctor, come on, come on!"
Liu Zheng was startled and hugged Zheng Yueru who almost fell down.
Seeing that it was Liu Zheng who came out in person, the guards naturally had no way to stop him.
"Sir, Miss Zheng has not rested for seven days and seven nights!"
A manager who followed Zheng Yueru said heartbrokenly.
"What?"
Liu Zheng's eyes turned red. He hugged Zheng Yueru tightly and pinched her. Zheng Yueru slowly woke up and saw that she was still in Liu Zheng's arms. She was immediately ashamed and whispered: "Brother Liu, are you satisfied with the bamboo pole?"
Liu Zheng felt a pain in his heart: "Satisfied, please don't think about this and rest quickly, okay?"
In fact, he has not yet checked whether the bamboo pole meets his requirements.
But Zheng Yueru was so tired because of herself. He had always known Zheng Yueru's affection for him, but he had been evading it. Zheng Yueru was not in a hurry, and had been following Liu Zheng calmly. How could Liu Zheng not be moved by this matter?
Carrying Zheng Yueru to the camp, the doctor took a look and said that there was nothing serious. Zheng Yueru was just overworked and needed to rest. Her pulse was still very stable.
Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, called Jiang Xuan and Qin Changfeng, and said excitedly: "Let's go!"
Jiang Xuan saw Zheng Yueru fainting due to being so tired from working with some bamboo poles, and he complained a little in his heart: "Brother, what's the use of bamboo poles in this kind of battle?"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "It is used to determine victory or defeat! What do you think?"
Jiang Xuan didn't believe it.
Qin Changfeng didn't believe it either.
Liu Zheng didn't talk nonsense. At this time, the more than one hundred carriages responsible for transporting bamboo poles had been pulled to the Yinzhou Army's military camp. Liu Zheng took a deep breath when he saw so much. Zheng Yueru, a weak woman, was able to get so much in this limited time. He didn't know how much effort it took. He led Jiang Xuan into the car and pulled off the oilcloth that was responsible for covering it. Full of them, all of them are very long bamboo poles, big moso bamboo! According to his request, even the branches and leaves on the bamboo poles were not removed!
"good!"
Liu Zheng was immediately overjoyed.
This is what he wants!
Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "Brother, what is the use of this bamboo pole before it is dried?"
Qin Changfeng also had this question.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Jiang Xuan, go get a Mo Dao!"
Although Jiang Xuan was puzzled, he followed Liu Zheng's request and held a Mo Dao.
Liu Zheng picked a moso bamboo and held it in his hand, smiling lightly: "Attack me!"
Jiang Xuan was shocked: "Master, don't joke, I'll hurt you!"
Liu Zheng smiled: "Come wherever you want!"
Jiang Xuan shouted angrily. At this time, he was no longer the skinny boy he was before. Under Qin Changfeng's training, he had grown into a real strong man in Liangzhou. Mo Dao was also quite domineering when playing. The knife struck with great force.
Liu Zheng called out "good guy" and thought, did this guy want to avenge Zheng Yueru?
But he was not in a hurry, picked up the bamboo in his hand and stabbed the Mo Dao!
Jiang Xuan's fierce sword was actually blocked by the branches on the big bamboo! No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer move forward! Jiang Xuan's face changed slightly, and he felt unhappy. He drew the knife again, and the next one was like this again!
Because this big moso bamboo was five feet long, Jiang Xuan couldn't even get close to Liu Zheng. And when he chopped hard, the branches fell off a lot, but there were still a lot of them, and they stubbornly resisted the Mo Dao. Extremely sharp blade!
"alright!"
Liu Zheng looked at the furious Jiang Xuan and smiled lightly.
Jiang Xuan and Qin Changfeng looked at each other in shock.
"Brother Gongzi..."
"this……"
"What's the point?"
A big bamboo can actually block Mo Dao? Who would have dared to think so before?
Liu Zheng chuckled.
When he learned that the Huns soldier used an extended scimitar this time, three words came to his mind: Wolf soldiers!
The Wolf Guards are a type of military created by General Qi Jiguang in the Chinese civilization in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Weapons such as langzhen are made from moso bamboo. "Jixiao New Book" records that the main body of the wolf bamboo is a large moso bamboo, about one foot and five feet long, and the upper half retains the bamboo branches. The tops of the moso bamboo and branches are equipped with iron spears. When used, they are often closely connected with the "Mandarin Duck Formation" Combined, use branches to protect themselves, and stab the enemy with spears.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty's border defense situation was extremely tense, and the "Southern Japanese and Northern Captives" problem that had harmed the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years broke out at the same time. In particular, the "Japanese pirates" on the southeast coast had reached the point where they seriously threatened the national security of the Ming Dynasty. Japanese pirates not only infested coastal areas, but because the Ming Dynasty army was unable to resist their invasion, they gradually penetrated deep into Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the wealthiest areas of the Ming Dynasty, and became a serious threat. However, due to the sluggishness of the Ming Dynasty army and low combat effectiveness, the Japanese pirates were composed of fierce Japanese samurai and pirates. Not only were they not afraid of death, but they also had excellent weapons. The "Japanese sword" in their hands was extremely long and sharp, and the Japanese pirates had excellent sword skills. Ripe.
"When you enter the battle alone with a sword, you can't resist five soldiers." "Swing the sword quickly will make the soldiers timid and they will be defeated easily."
It can be seen that the Japanese pirates were very arrogant and tyrannical at that time, which was almost the same as the Huns soldiers today.
After Qi Jiguang took charge of the overall anti-Japanese campaign, he worked hard to defeat the Japanese pirates. Based on the principle of "one inch long, one inch strong" in traditional martial arts, he worked hard on the innovation of the Ming army's weapons. He not only imitated the Japanese sword to create the "Miao Dao" with a special blade, but also used poison to fight poison to create the wolf sword. The wolf trap is about five meters long and can be used to attack, retreat or defend. It not only keeps oneself out of the attack range of Japanese pirates, but also can effectively kill Japanese pirates, becoming a weapon against Japanese invaders.
Since the advent of the Langzhen and the accompanying "Yuanyang Formation", the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war has taken on a completely new look. Relying on the wolf trap and the "Mandarin Duck Formation", the Qi Army repeatedly created a battle loss ratio of killing thousands of enemies and suffering less than ten casualties, killing the Japanese pirates and retreating in succession.
So when Liu Zheng heard about the Xiongnu's extended scimitar, he suddenly thought that this kind of knife looked like a Japanese knife?
Then, when everyone was helpless against the Huns soldiers, this big bamboo came in handy!
Although it was too late for this big bamboo to be equipped with those spears and stabs at this time, Liu Zheng had spear soldiers, wolf soldiers to cover, and spear soldiers to attack. Isn't it a match made in heaven?
"Brother, this, this, this piece of bamboo, is it so useful?"
Jiang Xuan was very excited.
Qin Changfeng also took a deep breath and said with great joy: "With this bamboo, the Huns will be defeated!"
Only then did they finally understand why Liu Zheng wanted the fresh bamboo instead of the dried one. Because the moso bamboo at this time is more resilient! The Hun scimitar, no matter how it was slashed, could not cut through the bamboo at once. In this way, the spearmen had time and space to attack!
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "The Huns cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and have extremely strong attack power. What formation does Jiang Xuan think we should use?"
Jiang Xuan immediately replied: "Brother, if we use this bamboo to defeat the enemy, we can use the mandarin duck formation!"
Liu Zheng laughed happily.
The wolf warriors and the mandarin duck formation are a big killing weapon!
This Yuanyang Formation was handed over to Jiang Xuan by Liu Zheng when he was in Yinzhou. This is a formation with eleven people as a team, with the captain at the front, and the next two, one holding the long card and the other holding the shield.
The long card hand holds a long shield to block the enemy's arrows and spears. The shield hand holds a light shield with a javelin and a sword. The long card hand and shield hand mainly cover the advancement of the rear team. In addition to covering, the shield hand can also engage in close combat with the enemy.
The two of them are holding wolf bamboo in their hands. The wolf bamboo is made from moso bamboo grown in the south. The old and solid ones are selected, and the end of the bamboo is beveled into a sharp shape, leaving sharp branches around it. Each wolf bamboo is three meters long. On the left and right, the wolf swordsman uses the sharp blade at the front of the wolf sword to assassinate the enemy to cover the advancement of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind. Then came four spearmen with spears in their hands, two on each side, taking care of the shield bearers and wolf bearers on the left and right in front respectively.
Following up are two soldiers holding "boring palladium" to serve as security, support and other tasks. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short-handed soldier rushes forward with a short sword to kill the enemy. There is a clear division of labor among various weapons. As long as everyone is proficient in the operation of their own type, the key to effectively killing the enemy lies in overall cooperation and the execution of orders and prohibitions.
"Yuanyang Formation" not only closely combines spears and shields, long and short, fully exerting the effectiveness of various weapons, but also the formation can be changed flexibly. According to the situation and combat needs, the column can be changed into a horizontal formation, a formation can be changed into two small formations on the left and right, or three small formations on the left, center and right. When it becomes two small formations, it is called the "Two Talents Formation". The left and right shield hands are accompanied by the left and right wolf hands, spearmen and short soldiers respectively to protect its attack; when it becomes three small formations, it is called the "Three Talents Formation". , wolf spearmen, spearmen and short-armed men are in the middle. Shield bearers guarded the left and right sides. This changed formation is also called "changing mandarin duck formation". This formation used flexibility and maneuverability, which just suppressed the Japanese pirates' advantage.
Qi Jiguang led the "Qi Family Army" and after practicing the "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, they achieved victory in every battle against the Japanese pirates.
When Liu Zheng taught the Yuanyang Formation to Jiang Xuan in Yinzhou, he naturally did not have the wolf spear. But after all, at that time, he had Luo Duoke's spear, so even without the wolf spear, this formation was still useful.
But now, there are wolf warriors and Rodok spears!
Liu Zheng is even more confident about tomorrow's decisive battle!
"Jiang Xuan, Qin Changfeng obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"Distribute the wolf traps and practice all night long!"
"Tomorrow morning, there will be a decisive battle!"
"yes!"
