Chapter 59: The Great Array Shows Its Might

Fang Yiai, Lu Qing and other generals of Zuo Wuwei stood on a high place and looked at the circular formation that was constantly changing positions on the training ground, and everyone looked at it very carefully.

"Major General, is this circular array really powerful?" Xiang Shuo didn't believe how powerful such an array could be, it looked like a few small circles, Xiang Shuo was confident that as long as he was given a little time, he could easily extinguish this broken formation, but he didn't dare to say these words openly, no matter how he said it, he had to save some face for the young general.

"You don't believe it? So, Brother Xiang, how about we make a bet? Fang Yiai turned her head and said easily.

"Bet? Major General, what are you going to do? When Xiang Shuo heard the bet, he was immediately interested.

"It's very simple, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers to attack my circular array, as long as you can break my circular array, even if you win, otherwise I won. How about the loser, inviting everyone to have a good meal? Fang Yiai's face was confident, he believed that his large array could completely resist several times the number of troops, and 10,000 enemies could be eaten.

"Young General, you are underestimating my old Xiang, okay, I agreed to this bet, Young General, you should prepare the money, I will definitely be able to break this big array!" Xiang Shuo looked at this round array with disdain, as if this large array was like a chicken and a dog in his eyes.

"Brothers, you have to be a witness, if Brother Xiang cheats at that time, you have to make the decision for me!"

As soon as Fang Yiai's words were finished, Xiang Shuo's eyes widened, what does this young general mean, isn't this obviously sarcastic, is he Xiang Shuo the kind of person who doesn't believe in his words?

"Brother Lu, who do you think will win?" Xu Kai must be a military Cao, and he doesn't know anything about fighting at all, so he had to ask Lu Qing beside him.

"Degui, I think the young general will win!"

"Major General? Why, General Xiang has 10,000 soldiers! ”

"I don't know, I always feel that this circular array is not that simple, but I can't say the specifics!" Lu Qing could faintly feel what was contained in this big array, but he couldn't figure out what it was, but when he tried it, he should be able to see something.

The competition between Fang Yiai and Xiang Shuo was not small, even Qin Qiong knew about it, and specially instructed the two parties not to harm human life. For this point, Fang Yiai and Xiang Shuo have already prepared, the gun is a wooden stick without a gun head, and the knife is also wooden, both of which are dyed with red paint on the weapon, as long as the body is hit, a red Peugeot will appear, which means that he is killed, and he has to automatically withdraw from the battle.

The time of the competition was arranged for the next day, and the location was on the grassland west of Chang'an City.

What Fang Yiai didn't expect was that on the day of the competition, a group of bigwigs came, Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Li Ji, and even Li Shimin and Li Jing came. Fang Yiai looked at this formation, and wondered if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were all here, and even people like the eldest grandson Wuji followed, could this competition be so touching?

Fang Yiai stood in the formation and saw Cheng Biting Jin waving at him, his expression was excited, Fang Yiai turned his head and pretended not to see this old monster, he still didn't want to go over, he had to do a round of salute in the past, it was better to wait for the competition to finish and then go over.

"Okay, old man, don't be swaggering, Fang Jun didn't see you at all!" It was Wei Chigong who spoke, and in this Tang Dynasty, Wei Chigong dared to test Cheng Biting Jin so blatantly, and others really didn't dare to say this in front of Cheng Biting Jin.

"Why, Black Charcoal, you're Fang Jun, how do you know he didn't see me?" Cheng Biting Jin was not convinced at all.

"Okay, don't talk about it either, I'm bringing you here today to watch martial arts, not to make you fight!" Li Shimin has no way to deal with these two living treasures, these two people don't get along, and they quarrel when they meet.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything, just quietly observing Li Shimin's expression, this time Li Shimin actually led the ministers to watch the martial arts, the meaning of which can be imagined, I am afraid that Li Shimin has the idea of promoting Fang Yiai. As long as Fang Yiai can show his face in the eyes of the ministers this time, then Li Shimin can justifiably arrange a real job for Fang Yiai.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to see this situation, but there was nothing he could do, and looking at Li Shimin's favor for Fang Yiai, I am afraid that he would definitely give him a beautiful difference.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew very well that he had to stop Fang Yiai no matter what this time, otherwise it would be even more troublesome in the future, so the eldest grandson Wuji walked up to Hou Junji and made a look at him, and Hou Junji nodded slightly in understanding.

Li Shimin and the others stood on the hillside, looking at the battlefield below, and at this time the martial arts exercise had already begun.

Xiang Shuo divided the army of 10,000 into two teams, one team formed a conical formation and directly inserted into the circular formation of Fang Yiai, and the other team was holding back on the periphery. Fang Yiai is not worried about this at all, with the big shield blocking, the threat of those archers is negligible, and now that the enemy and us have been mixed, the archers do not dare to shoot arrows indiscriminately.

"Uncle Tiger, send a flag, let the big array open a way, and let the enemy army in!"

Qin Hu obediently waved the small blue flag in his hand, only to see that the military formation automatically moved to both sides, and Xiang Shuo led six thousand soldiers and horses into the center of the formation smoothly. Xiang Shuo was very strange, how could it be so smooth?

Xiang Shuo now felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he just wanted to order the troops to retreat and concentrate together, but it was already too late, and he saw that the large array, which was still a little quiet just now, suddenly started to operate. Dozens of small circular arrays around them kept getting closer, dividing the enemies in the formation into dozens of small forces.

Xiang Shuo also had a big head at this time, because he found that his soldiers had no way to start at all, and they couldn't break through the defense of the shield after attacking for a long time, but the other party would stretch out a terrible spear every moment and take the soldier's life from the gap in the shield. Xiang Shuo felt that he was not breaking the formation now, but attacking the city, and the soldiers who finally broke through the shield were quickly hacked to death by the knife hand. Seeing this situation, Xiang Shuo shouted directly: "Order the teams on the periphery to hurry up and tear a hole and rescue the soldiers in the formation!" ”

After seeing the flag of the main general, the soldiers on the periphery also began to launch a fierce attack, they attacked in one direction, hoping to tear a hole in this large array, but they found that these small circular formations are like an iron king, there are fewer people on it, only to send their lives to score, and the other party will be like their own military formation if you chase over, you will face the strangulation of several other small formations, if you don't chase it, you can't break through the big formation, it's really embarrassing.

"Major General, there is a lot of pressure on the outer several military formations now!" Qin Hu said with a frown.

"Well, indeed, it seems that Xiang Shuo has also noticed that something is wrong, he wants to escape, use the flag language to tell the people on the periphery, let them not come hard, let these people in!" Fang Yiai also found that the peripheral enemies attacked a little fiercely, but there was no need to worry too much, as long as they wanted to kill in.

The enemies on the periphery soon found that the power of the circular array had become a little smaller, and they thought that the large array was about to be broken, so they rushed into the large array one by one, but they did not find that the peripheral circular arrays were actively out of the way.

"Pharmacist, what do you think of this circular formation?" After Li Shimin saw the enemies on the periphery kill in, he knew that the love of the martial arts room had been won, so he chatted with Li Jing with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this circular array is indeed very powerful, but the most important thing is not this array!" Li Jing said calmly.

"Oh? Pharmacist, what do you mean by that? Li Shimin was a little curious, he really hadn't found anything else, in his opinion, this round array was definitely a powerful formation.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you have noticed that the soldiers under Fang Jun have a characteristic, that is, their movements are uniform, as long as the order comes out, no matter whether there is an enemy outside, the spearmen will stab out the spears in their hands. This is the most important thing, the soldiers obey the order, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, it can be said that with these soldiers, Fang Jun can replace this circular formation with another formation in a short time, because as long as the password arrives, these soldiers will consciously complete it according to the requirements, and there is no need to conduct drills in advance" Li Jing said in detail, Li Shimin and the others were also a little fascinated when they heard it, this is really worthy of everyone in the art of war, and they can see the essence of it at a glance.

After Li Jing's explanation, Li Shimin also understood a little that the reason why he couldn't change the military formation at will in the past was because once the formation was changed, it would cause chaos, but the soldiers who loved Fang Yiai would not do so. Li Shimin is also a little curious about how Fang Yiai trained this group of soldiers, and he was able to truly enforce orders and prohibitions, and advance and retreat.

When the enemies on the periphery came in, Fang Yiai knew that he had won this martial arts exercise, only to see Qin Hu's banner wave, and the dozen or so circular formations on the periphery of the large array slowly moved to the outermost edge, and when they reached the outermost periphery, the captains began to arrange.

"Listen to my orders, disband the circle, and immediately form a horizontal array, including the shield bearer and the spearman in the center!"

Soon all the shield-bearers of the circle immediately stood in a row, and the shields formed a long wall, joined together to form a huge rectangle, enclosing all the enemies inside, and any enemy who tried to flee would be immediately assassinated by the spearmen. At the same time, the rectangular array was still slowly shrinking, cooperating with the circular array in the town for the final strangulation.

"Shieldman, take two steps forward, pikemen follow, lunge in front right!"

"Shieldman, spread out, and the blade hand will enter the battle to kill the enemy!"

"The blade holder is back, and the shield hand is sealed!"

Orders continued to spread, and the enemies in the array became fewer and fewer.

Seeing such a situation, Li Shimin gasped, and was really hit by Li Jingyan, he could really change the formation at will, and the circular array on the periphery was useless for a single cup of tea, so it formed a huge rectangular array, forming a simple and effective encirclement.

At this time, even if he was a fool, he could see that Xiang Shuo had been defeated, and he was defeated miserably, and he was completely wiped out by others.

"Your Majesty, you really didn't read it wrong back then, Fang Jun is a person, you can be reused!" When Li Jing saw such a scene, he also had to admire Fang Yiai's ability, even Li Jing himself, he didn't dare to guarantee that he could do this, Li Jing was confident that he could form any killing array, but he couldn't change the array at will, this is what Li Jing admired.

"Pharmacist, you rarely praise people so much, but what you said is right, Fang Jun is indeed a talent, and we old guys can rest assured that we can go into hiding in the future!" Li Ji also praised happily.

"Hehe, Mao Gong, even you said so, it seems that I am going to arrange a good errand for Fang Jun!" Li Shimin is very happy now, and today is an eye-opener, and someone has actually managed to change the military formation on the battlefield, which is really a historical precedent.
