The young man's name is Deng Yao, the son of Deng Yue, the Taishou of Wuchang, although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is already quite powerful, and he is already the leading young general in the Jingzhou army.

Hearing the angry voice of the young man Deng Yao, Deng Yi was not angry, but just waved his hand to signal him to return to the battle.

Deng Yi led his family to the north to help in the war, and the main task was to escort this nephew, and to show that they had successors to Jingzhou's strong army in front of all the kings, and it was not in vain.

At this time, the more than 1,000 soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed halfway through the way and came straight to this front, obviously unwilling to give up and take revenge. In the army, Deng Yao did not dare to disobey his uncle's military orders, but his face was still eager to try, hoping to continue to fight and kill the enemy.

But Deng Yi didn't dare to let him out easily, and after the battalions in the front line replenished their horsepower, the governor of the Chinese army signaled that the armies could test their edge, and he sent Deng Yi and his most elite troops to win the jackpot first. However, if they continue to fight, not only will they worry that the young man will not have the strength to fight, but they will also make other allies resentful, thinking that they have monopolized the scenery.

However, Deng Yi did not lead his troops back to the camp, but just turned his head to look at the Qiling War Tower.

The Eighth Formation Battalion covers a vast area, and has been expanded recently, and the entire camp has reached a depth of dozens of miles, and Deng Yijun's location is already considered to be the forefront, and it is difficult to see the change in the flag order of the Chinese army from this distance.

But the essence of this large array lies in timely control and flexible response, because the entire command system is also very meticulous and thorough, in addition to the Chinese army flag order, each military battalion also has a war building to receive the Chinese army flag order and convey it to the subordinate battalions.

In addition, there are still drums and orders for soldiers to wander around the battle array, and several sets of systems can be said to be pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, making the entire huge camp cohesive, and the response is flexible, like an arm and a finger.

Although Deng Yi is not a brave general, he has also been in the army for many years, and his military strategy is not as good as it, but he still has a vision. He was also fortunate to have the opportunity to see the former base of the Marquis of Wu, or he was limited by his knowledge, and it was difficult to have a deeper understanding. But now that he is in the real camp, he feels that this formation is exquisite and powerful, and his worship for the Chinese army's Governor Xie Dadu is getting stronger and stronger.

The eight formations have become numerous, almost endless, Deng Yi has not undergone long-term training after all, and he does not have a deep understanding of some subtle changes in the flag order. Now in charge of an army, in order to ensure the correct implementation of military orders, Xie Ai matched him with dozens of veteran pawns who were proficient in flag orders.

Due to the fact that the general has concentrated on Chinese affairs in recent years, there has not been an in-depth reorganization of the Jingzhou Army, because at present, the Jingzhou Army still maintains a fairly strong combination of military leaders and subordinates. However, in order to ensure that the troops could respond in time and cooperate with the changes in the formation, Deng Yi did not force the independence of the troops, but took the initiative to break up the old formations and build up the current army with the old army.

The Chinese army's flag order was quickly conveyed to the front, and Deng Yi led his troops to retreat half a mile according to the order, and at the same time, hundreds of sword and chariot battle formations poured out of the friendly army camp on the right to cover the retreat of his army.

When the Jin army rushed to the front of the formation, Deng Yi's troops had already submerged in the battle formation, and they were greeted by three overlapping knife carts in the front and rear. The frame of the knife cart is sturdy, and the giant shield in front can effectively intercept the arrows of the Qianjun army, and at the same time, the giant shield is inlaid with a sharp knife as long as half a zhang, like a vicious beast minions, once the centaur hits, it will be pierced by the sharp knife and die on the spot!

Although the army was menacing, they did not dare to use their flesh and blood to shake this hideous sword formation, and swept over this side sideways, pouring arrows in turn, and they were unwilling to retreat, intending to bypass the sword and cart battle formation from the flank and continue to kill the enemy.

However, although the distance between the front camp was large, there were not many gaps left for charging and killing, although the right flank of Deng Yi's army was covered by a sword and chariot battle array, but the left flank was empty, so there was another friendly camp a few miles away.

And in this gap, there is a mound that is higher than the surrounding area, and three arrow towers are erected on the mound, each arrow tower has more than 200 crossbowmen, and a large number of strong bows and crossbows are arranged, radiating the surrounding area. Once the army passes through this, it will be rained down by arrows, and if it does not die, it will shed a layer of skin.

Although Xie Ai didn't know what the specific appearance of the ancient eight formations were, the new eight formations he had set up contained a lot of tactical strategies. Although the foundation of the large array is the soldiers of each battalion, in addition to the basic battalion method, there are many changes such as the mound method, the weapon method, the water method, the fire method, and the wind method.

The so-called mound method is to base the soil as a mound in different positions, relying on the cooperation of the battalion to match the terrain with relative advantages, which is also one of the core changes of the eight formations. Wuhou Eight Formations are made of stones, which belong to the category of Qiu Fa.

This kind of camp mound is different from the wild folk legend that relying on its own existence can have a mysterious indelible, itself as an obstacle, with the cooperation of the troops, once the enemy rushes into the formation, with the terrain and the strike of the equipment, in order to limit and induce the enemy's advance route, so that the enemy army always has to face their own superior attack on the charging route, and is gradually eliminated in the movement.

For example, the current Yingqiu arrow tower where the enemy army is bypassing and stopping, if it only exists alone, the lethality is really limited, especially in the open field in the southern suburbs of Xiangguo, the enemy has a large number of offensive routes to choose from, and the arrow tower can cause very little obstruction.

However, once the enemy chooses to charge in this direction, there will be a series of tactics to cooperate in the follow-up, such as knife carts, antler carts, horse rejection and other interception facilities set up everywhere, so that the enemy's charging route is always limited to a certain range.

Once the enemy's speed is reduced, it will be surrounded and suppressed by the superior superiority of the surrounding battalions, and if you want to maintain the rhythm of the attack and continue to go deeper, sooner or later you will be led to a fixed ambush location, and it is not uncommon for the whole army to be lost.

It is not easy to ride on foot, although there are many changes in the eight formations, but if you want to suppress the rhythm of the enemy's rush and make appropriate responses, there are extremely high requirements for the entire army, from the main general to the ordinary soldiers. In particular, the various chariots and crossbows equipped in the camp cost more than the armor of the entire army.

If it weren't for the rich background of the Xingtai family, if it weren't for Xie Ai's own unborn military strategy, if it weren't for the fact that he could get the trust of the general, and he would have been in charge of tens of thousands of troops for several years for long-term training, it would have been impossible to set up such a powerful battle formation.

Even if the above conditions were met, Xie Ai did not dare to completely lay out the formation before. Although the number of soldiers in the sixty-fourth battalion seems to be quite large, it is difficult to echo each other if it is laid out in a large array covering a radius of dozens of miles.

The cavalry has always been known for its rapid offensive rhythm, and once the battalion coordinates with each other for the slightest mistake, it may be broken by the cavalry and uproot one or two camps, causing loopholes in the large array and causing the overall collapse. Each time the large array is extended, the control requirements for the main general are multiplied, and the probability of self-defeating is too high.

Therefore, the large battalion must be equipped with enough cavalry as a reserve, once a certain change can not be timely, the cavalry mobile force is needed to rush up to block the enemy's offensive rhythm, in order to continue to revitalize the subsequent changes.

If it weren't for the lack of power of Wang Shi's machine at the beginning of the war, and the fact that the right-wing Yanzhou Army did not arrive at the battlefield area within the scheduled time, making it difficult for the lone army in the middle to advance and being suppressed by the Xiangguo army, Xie Ai would not have laid down such an overly demanding battle formation. In the final analysis, although the eight formations are strong, they are still more defensive than offensive in terms of application, and they are too cumbersome.

But once the formation is laid, the power is quickly revealed. Through the expansion of the large array layer by layer, the suppression of the cavalry of the Qianjun army can be offset to the greatest extent, so that the middle route army can always maintain the pace of advancement, and now it has gradually approached the outside of Xiangguo City, and the siege is imminent.

After all, the cavalry of Xiangguo is not small, more than 20,000 people, and if it does not have several times the strength of the enemy army, it is difficult to completely besiege the city. Moreover, even if there is such an advantageous military strength, the Qiang army may not be able to defend the city to the death, once it goes out of the city for a field battle before the siege, there will be too many variables, not to mention that reinforcements will arrive at any time on the Xindu side.

Probably the army also felt the crisis of the advance of the Wang Shi Great Array, because during this time, they frequently deducted the formation and wanted to break the Wang Shi Great Array.

For example, the cavalry of the Qianjun army on this road, although they were blocked by the sword and cart battle formation and bypassed the lower hill, despite the danger of the arrow tower, they still outflanked Deng Yijun, and when they passed through the range of the arrow tower under the hill, although they paid nearly 100 lives, but because of the amazing speed of the horse, they finally broke through the periphery of the battle formation, and they were only one trip away from the retreating Deng Yijun.

However, when the Karma army bypassed the mound on this road, there were already 500 cavalry lined up behind the mound, and as soon as the nearest tower sounded the drum to attack, when even if they rushed out from behind the mound, the arrows generally pierced straight to the flank of the Karma army.

There is no lack of open space in the large array, and there is no camp and cart formation within a radius of several miles, which is reserved for cavalry to charge and kill. The troops who rushed to the near side were also shocked when they heard the thunderous hooves of the horses on the flanks, and when they turned their heads and saw the armed style of the opponent's banner, they were even more shocked.

"Shen Shi! It's Shen Shi......"

The shadow of the famous tree of people, Shen Yun and the Fenwu army in the prestige of the country, that is the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood piled up, once the Fenwu soldiers appear in the battle array, it means the tragedy of nine deaths and a lifetime for the Qiang army.

Because as his army rushed out, the soldiers of the Qiang army had already broken without a fight, and the front road may continue to rush forward for a distance according to inertia, but the back road was already full of horror, and Le Ma turned his head and fled from the formation with Luffy.

When the Fenwu soldiers arrived, more than half of the thousands of soldiers along the way had withdrawn, and they had to pay a hundred and ten lives to rush out of the mound. And the Qian army that was still in the formation was also bold, and fled in all directions in the battle array, but was calmly shot and killed by the soldiers of the Wang Division who were surrounded along the way!

"That's how the husband should be!"

Deng Yao was detained by his uncle in the car formation, and watched the enemy soldiers scatter before they could fight, and his childish face was full of reverence, and he hated to replace him.

Relying on his prestige alone, he scared away the criminal army, but Shen Yun didn't have any excitement, and when he rode his horse, there was a laziness in his whole body, and even the shackle was only hung on the saddle and not worn.

His Fenwu army was arranged in the front to escort the front line, and he couldn't attack when he was idle, which really made him not interested. Xiangguo is also a revisit to the old land for him, although he also understands that there were too many luck to break the city last year, but now he is confined to the camp and cannot kill the enemy by accident, which is always a little depressing.

However, after seeing the young man Deng Yao in the opposite car formation, Shen Yun's face was filled with a hint of joy, just now he was on standby in the formation, he also saw this young man slashing the enemy general, he loved his bravery, beckoned the young man to come closer, looked up and down and then smiled: "The kid is brave, chase me a little bit in the old year, can you be willing to enter the Fenwu camp?" ”

"I, I...... The last general, the last general......"

Deng Yao is the heart of a young man, he admires Shen Yun who is brave enough to break the capital, and when he heard that he was appreciated by Shen Shi and solicited him, he was even more excited and at a loss, so excited that he could barely speak, his tender face turned red, and after a while, he fell headlong in front of Shen Yun's horse, and said loudly: "I am willing to follow Shen Hou under the saddle and kill the thief!" ”

On the other side, Deng Yi saw this scene, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he wanted to stop it, after all, this nephew was brave, and even his brother regarded him as the successor of his own merits, and was ready to take over the ministry after a little experience, if he joined the Fenwu Army, it would naturally be difficult to return to Jingzhou.

However, when he saw Deng Yao's face was overjoyed, his mind was flooded with many personnel pictures he had seen since he entered the north, and he quickly dispelled the idea of stepping forward to stop him.

After a little groaning, he strode forward and saluted Shen Yun with a fist: "The family is inferior, you can enter Shen Hou's door to be trained, thank you Shen Hou for your blue eyes!" ”

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then lowered his head to look at the young man whose face was flushed with excitement, and nodded, which can be regarded as recognizing this protégé.
