"Formation!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at the shapes pressed out by cups on the sand table, his face full of excitement!
"Formation?" Li Hanyan came over and took a closer look. She didn't see any formation? There are still those few marks pressed out by the cup. I have seen many formation patterns and so on, but I can't tell what formation it is in front of me!
"Quick, go find that old man!"
"That doctor?" Li Hanyan asked.
"That's right, hurry! Go!"
Li Hanyan saw that Zhao Xuanyi was so anxious and didn't say anything else. She turned to Qinglian and Lizhi, "Go and invite that old gentleman!"
"Yes!" The two maids turned around and walked out of the military tent.
Zhao Xuanyi's eyes were always staring at the sand table. When he saw the indentations of the nine round cups, his eyes were full of light, and he felt very happy. He kept drawing on the sand table with his hands, and then began to draw pictures on the sand table. A kind of calculation, the more you calculate, the smarter your eyes become!
Not long after, two maids brought the old man. The old man still looked reluctant, "I said, girls, why did you bring me here in the middle of the night? I was just about to sleep!"
Zhao Xuanyi saw the old man coming and walked over with a smile, "Old man, you are here!"
"I didn't want to come! It was these two girls who forced me here! I said, sir, why did you bring me here?"
"Old man, don't worry, don't be afraid, I'm asking you to come and help!"
"Shall I help? Are you sick?"
"No, come here!" Zhao Xuanyi pulled the old man to the sand table. "Old man, you taught me a lesson here. Now I want to ask you, what should we do next?"
The old man looked at the sand table and smiled, "Hey, Lord, aren't you making things difficult for me? How do I know what to do? I know how to save people, so what do I know about fighting?"
"Old ancestor, why don't you make fun of me? You inadvertently set up a Nine Palace Formation on my battlefield, and you said you couldn't do it. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Now the enemy is Our troops are strong and our horses are strong. No one knows how long my side can resist. Please stop joking and tell me what you have to say?"
The old man looked at Zhao Xuanyi and shook his head, "Baby, look, I said I didn't understand, but you let me talk! Well, let me just say a few random words. I don't know if it will work, so I just talked nonsense!" "
"Hey! Just say it!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded with a smile!
Although the old man said that he was talking nonsense, after turning his head, his eyes became very sharp. He stared at the sand table and looked around in circles for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "Baby, these fifteen flags here are all for you." Of?"
"No! These are the only ten I can really mobilize. The remaining five are just standing there to cheer!" Zhao Xuanyi said helplessly.
"Can you mobilize these 50,000 troops?"
"You can try it! It shouldn't be difficult! I'll try my best!"
The old man nodded slightly, then pointed to the sand table, "Baby, come and see! There are about 250,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side at the moment. Let's not worry about how they attack. We only have 150,000 people here, so we must attack them." Formation separates!"
"I don't need to tell you, but you also know in your heart that if we are fighting in a group, your army of 150,000 may not be the opponent on the opposite side, so we have to set up a formation. At present, the nine palace formation is the best choice!"
"Transform your 150,000 soldiers and horses into nine huge phalanxes. Let these nine phalanxes take care of each other and fight independently. You can advance and attack, retreat and defend! This is the best strategy!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard the old man's words, he nodded repeatedly and said to himself, "I know this old man is not an ordinary person. "Yes, you are always right!"
"Then tell me, what are the benefits of dividing these hundreds of thousands of troops into nine square formations?"
"Benefits?" Zhao Xuanyi carefully looked at the formation, which is where the traces were pressed. "The advantage is that there is a certain distance between the formations. This way, after the formation is set up, the original position can be expanded!"
"And if the enemy wants to rush into the formation, the gap between our formations is where he
This is our death place, we can close the door and kill as many dogs as we rush in! "
The old man smiled and nodded, "You can teach me, but that's not all. The most important thing is that if you continue to arrange all the formations the way you are doing now, the other side can mobilize their entire army and swallow up your army." Down!"
"But after you set up the Nine Palace Formation, they will have nothing to say! After all, even if he has the ability to wrap up hundreds of thousands of you and spread the position so wide, they can't keep the time and speed of the attack consistent. They don’t dare to send out their entire army, let alone swallow you up in one bite!”
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he raised his thumb and said, "You are still knowledgeable, but... ancestor, how can I arrange my formation with 50,000 troops?"
The old man looked at it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "You just said that there are 50,000 people here who are not your people. Maybe they won't listen to you?"
"Even if you convince me, it's probably just to support me!"
The old man nodded, "Then we have to find a way. We can't let him participate in the formation, and we can't let him shoulder the heavy responsibility. Otherwise, at the critical moment, if he can't stand up, we will be the ones who are in danger in the end!"
"That's right!"
The old man fell into deep thought again and said nothing!
On the side, Qinglian, Lizhi, and Li Hanyan gathered together and whispered, "Miss, there is something wrong with this old man! Look at it now, he is not confused at all, he is right! And he also understands formations!" "
Li Hanyan was also very surprised, "It looks a little different. Where did you find your husband?"
The old man looked at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Give me a baton!"
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly gave the baton to the old man. The old man drew nine grids on Zhao Xuanyi's position. The first row was on the position, the middle three were in the mountains and forests, and the last three were on the plains behind the mountains and forests. Above!
"Baby, you see clearly, this is the Nine Palaces Formation. The three grids in front are the Xun, Li, and Kun formations. In the Nine Palaces Formation, the most important thing about these three formations is that they are the most capable of fighting and the most capable. Resistance! You must fight with extraordinary bravery! These are the three formations that are the fastest and closest to contact with the enemy. If you see a large number of enemies, you will not be able to turn around and run away!"
"Yes, you are right!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded.
"Of course, although the people in these three formations must be strong, they can't be too rigid. If it's really too big, you have to run when you need to. You can't just stare at the position. You have to act according to the situation!"
"The left side of the middle row is Zhen, the one on the right is Dui, and the center is Wujitu! The most important thing about these three formations is nothing more than two points. The left and right sides must be cavalry. Why? Because in this position, flexibility is certain Be strong!"
"Whether it is from the front or the rear, if you are attacked by the enemy, you must rush to the rescue as soon as possible. After the rescue, you must immediately return to your own formation. You must not let the formation be disordered. You must be in a position where reinforcements are available. Under such circumstances, you must maintain your formation!"
"Needless to say, the central Wuji soil is the most important position. The soldiers here are no longer a question of how well they fight, but have to be aware, because once this position is broken, the entire formation will be over, so the soldiers here are You must have the highest consciousness, even if you die, you must die on the battlefield!"
"The last three formations, Gen, Kan, and Gan on the left! These three formations are the last line of defense of the entire formation. They are responsible for backup and final defense. Even if the central Wuji soil is broken, they will We must persist until the end and must defend the enemy!"
"But...according to your situation, 50,000 of the 150,000 troops cannot be used by you. We cannot be too rigid and must make changes accordingly!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This is different from when he was playing games. When playing games, as long as you move the mouse over, you can clearly see the offensive, as well as the changes between the enemy and ourselves, no matter how far away, but on this real battlefield , there are several times more changes than in the game!
The most important thing is that Zhu Yunzhi's 50,000 cavalry will not really help him now. "Ancestor, how do you think we should arrange the formation?"
"I know a little bit about how to set up a formation, but old man, I don't know what the situation is like with the army in your hands. Those soldiers are good at close combat, and those soldiers are good at long-range attacks!"
"If it goes according to my idea, the three formations of Gen, Kan and Gan! can be left to the 50,000 cavalry you mentioned who don't plan to fight! Anyway, you have to lead people to fight in the front. If you lose, I guess he can’t stop it!”
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "I understand! What about the others?"
"In the two formations of Zhen and Dui on the left and right wings in the middle, their terrain is in the mountains and forests. It is natural to put more archers and large attack mechanisms. They can be hidden in the mountains and forests on the left and right, and they can also be caught by surprise. No matter how they attack, they will be able to is allowed!"
"In the three formations of Xun, Li, and Kun in front, be sure to put some soldiers who are very powerful in close combat, especially shield bearers. Whether the opponent is attacking with cavalry to charge or archers to clear the way, shield bearers are indispensable. !」
"Moreover, some cavalry should be placed in the formations of Zhen and Dui on the left and right to support the three formations in front. As for the central Wujitu, it is up to you personally. Your purpose is actually very simple. Keep sending cavalry. Understand the situation of other formations. If you are unable to hold on, you are the closest to the other eight formations and can send reinforcements to help!"
"I understand, but I don't know about my brothers who were poisoned? How are they doing? How long until they can go to the battlefield?"
"Oh, it's hard to say. Their poison is very powerful. Although the poison has been reduced after drinking my medicine today, it will probably take a few days to completely subside! Of course, if you are in a hurry, I can increase the dose. A small amount can detoxify quickly, but the process is very painful!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he nodded seriously, "Thank you, ancestor, I know what to do. Listening to you is worth ten years of reading!"
"Hahaha!" The old man raised his head and laughed. "My lord, you are so polite. What am I doing? It's not helping or rescuing. It's just that I couldn't sleep at night, so I just said a few words! You don't You hate me for being such a bad old man!"
"Ancestor, please don't say that! You have helped me a lot, wife!"
"I'm here!" Li Hanyan came over, "Husband, is something okay?"
"Immediately arrange a special warm tent for our ancestors, see what else is available in the kitchen, and cook something delicious! Be sure to entertain us well!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Yes! Old man, come with me!" Li Hanyan said very politely. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi being so polite, she also guessed that this old man was not an ordinary person, so naturally she wanted to treat him well!
"What a great feeling! I, an old man, haven't eaten meat for many days. Give me some meat!" the old man said with a smile.
"Of course!" Li Hanyan nodded and said, then accompanied the old man out of the Chinese army's tent!
After Zhao Xuan watched the old man leave, he looked at the sand table again and began to calculate who would be used to fight among these nine formations! Zhao Xuanyi took the pen and paper, wrote and drew on it, and started arranging his troops!
Zhao Xuanyi kept in mind the old man's instructions, which kind of soldiers should be used where. If possible, Zhao Xuanyi would naturally want to put Qilin Guards in all formations, but this is obviously impossible!
After Li Hanyan returned to the military camp again, she found that Zhao Xuanyi was still making plans. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's serious eyes, she didn't bother him. She turned around and walked out of the military tent. She found Qinglian and said, "Go, let the kitchen make two bowls of noodles. Bring them and make another pot." Tea is coming, hurry up!"
"Yes!" Qinglian nodded.
Not long after, Li Hanyan walked into the big tent with fragrant tea, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xuanyi, and then placed it in Zhao Xuanyi's hand: "Husband, drink some tea!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi took it and drank it in one gulp! Then he took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Hanyan, "Daughter-in-law, this ancestor is really not an ordinary person! With a few words of advice, all the problems that have been bothering me for so long have been solved!"
"Got a plan?"
