Chapter 1141 In a flash
When the sun broke through the clouds and spread evenly on the earth, Xiao Yuansui's army of one hundred thousand came in a mighty manner, and also blocked Hulao Pass, and the Sishui River The entire land in the east was completely covered, and the smoke and dust stirred up almost obscured the sky.
Seeing this scene, the faces of several soldiers on the tower changed.
It’s not that they just saw the scene in front of them clearly. Before Xiao Yuansui’s army walked into the sight, spies had already come back to report, and after a while, the people standing on the tower felt it. The earth trembled - hundreds of thousands of horses and horses were dispatched at the same time. Not only did the ground shake, the sand and rocks rolled, and even the Yellow River not far away began to flow bravely.
Then, the army set up their formation.
These hundreds of thousands of people were arranged into eight large formations, with four rows arranged two by two. Each formation contained about ten thousand people, with a road of more than three feet separated in the middle for the cavalry to pass back and forth to deliver military orders.
However, even the soldiers with the best eyesight could only barely see clearly that the two arrays at the front were holding high dark and heavy shields to prevent cavalry attacks and arrows from flying, while the two arrays at the back were Most of them are archers. Once the soldiers from Hulao Pass appear and charge, those archers can immediately draw their bows and shoot arrows to repel their attack.
As for the ones behind them, they couldn't see clearly. They could only guess from the neighing of the horses in the wind that they should be cavalry.
Seeing such a huge military formation, many soldiers showed cowardly looks. Xue Lin grabbed the rough city wall with one hand, his fingertips turned white, and even Shen Wuzheng frowned. .
How to fight this battle?
Shen Wuzheng turned to look at Yu Wenye, who was standing beside him and looking into the distance. He saw that his brows were gradually frowning. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "You brought him here. Why, do you think something is wrong now?"< br>
Yu Wenye still looked ahead and murmured: "That's wrong."
When Shen Tutai, Xue Lin and others around him heard this, they all looked at him with wide eyes in shock, but Yu Wenye, after looking at it for a while, said softly: "Xiao Yuansui, something is not right. "
Everyone was surprised and realized that the "wrong" he said was referring to Xiao Yuansui.
Shen Wuzheng said: "What's wrong with him?"
Yu Wenye said: "He likes to take risks, or in other words, he likes to advance. He will not retreat unless he has to, and he is not good at defending. Therefore, he can capture Wanggang Village, Xingluocang, and even more. Sweeping across Hebei, it could not prevent the disintegration of Wanggang Village, nor could it defend Xingluocang..."
When he mentioned Wanggang Village , when mentioning the disintegration of Wanggang Village, Shen Tutai shook his head gently, and heard someone next to him sigh softly. He looked down and saw that Shan Tonger had also climbed up to the city tower at some point and was lying on the battlements of the city wall. Looking down, he had obviously never seen such an overwhelming army formation, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Shen Tutai reached over and patted his shoulder gently.
Shen Wuzheng also had this child in the corner of his eyes, still staring at Yu Wenye: "Then you think his formation is wrong?"
Yu Wenye shook his head: "It's not that the formation is wrong, It’s his fault.”
Generally, when a large army forms a formation, especially when the opponent has cavalry, the shield formation will be at the forefront to prevent the impact of cavalry and infantry from destroying the array at the back, followed by archers to repel the opponent's attack, and finally This is the most common formation method for infantry teams, but this formation method also means that their own cavalry attack will be hindered.
In other words, psychologically, they did not intend to focus on charging.
However, this battle was fought by Xiao Yuansui himself.
Hearing Yu Wenye's explanation, Shen Tutai also nodded gently. He had been in battle for a long time, so he could naturally see the purpose of this array at a glance, but he didn't understand what Yu Wenye said, "something is wrong." "What does it mean?" When Shen Wuzheng heard the words and thought about it carefully, he came back to his senses. He glanced at the military formation that stretched for miles, and then said: "Such an formation means that he himself is very contradictory."
Yu Wenye nodded: "The strange thing is that he has always been very determined. He knows better than anyone else what he wants to do. But this time, he seems not to be so determined."
Even he was puzzled by this.
He can see through the intentions of the battle formation, but it is difficult to see through people's hearts.
At this moment, the low murmur of the good boy came into their ears: "Master said that many things happen in just one thought."
Hear After saying this, everyone looked at him, and a flash of light flashed in Yu Wenye's eyes: "In a moment of thought..."
While everyone was thinking in silence, Xue Lin, who was not interested at all in what was wrong with Xiao Yuansui, became anxious and asked: "Your Highness, they are already here, so should we leave the city too?" Accept the challenge?”
After saying that, he immediately hugged Boxing: "The last general invites you to fight!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's breathing became faster unconsciously, but Yu Wenye only glanced at him lightly and said: "Who said I want to fight?" Accepted the challenge.”
“Huh?”
After hearing this, Xue Lin was stunned immediately and raised his head to look at Yu Wenye with a puzzled look on his face - he clearly knew that Xiao Yuansui would definitely take revenge after he returned injured from the night attack on Xiao Yuansui's camp. Moreover, it was he who asked Gao Feng and Jiang Kesheng to take the thousands of horses across the river to graze, deliberately The shortcomings made the opponent think that their cavalry was short of fodder and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Then in the early morning, they discovered that Xiao Yuansui's camp had indeed begun to prepare to send troops, so the entire Hulao Pass was immediately put on alert. Now, Xiao Yuansui The great army of Sui was approaching the city, why didn't he refuse to fight?
Shen Tutai also said: "Your Highness, don't you want to fight?"
Yu Wenye turned his head and glanced at the over 100,000 troops lined up neatly in front of him. Let them stand."
After that, he turned around and walked down the tower.
While walking, he also gave an order: "Send the order and close the city gate tightly. Anyone who dares to go out of the city to challenge without permission will be dealt with according to military law."
All officers and soldiers should claim it.
Several people on the tower looked at each other in confusion. Xue Lin immediately became anxious and said to Shentu Tai: "General Shentu, what's going on?"
Shen Tutai did not answer him immediately, only frowned slightly. , chewing on the words Yu Wenye left just now, As if he understood something, he glanced at the mighty 100,000 troops in front of him and said: "Yes, it's so neat."
Shen Wuzheng said: "What do you mean-"
The eyes of the two people flickered, and they suddenly understood something.
And just when the two of them understood each other, and when Xue Lin was a little anxious, the good boy lying on the city wall slowly took two steps back and said softly: "I don't know, Ruyi Is my sister over there?”
