Chapter 946: Taiyi Mixed Sky Array
After Yelu Dashi entered the main hall, he stood silently aside, there was no need to say hello between him and Emperor Tianzuo, just in time for Wu Yanguang to report on the matter of the Taiyi Mixed Heavenly Array, and Emperor Tianzuo did not have time to pay attention to him.
Until Wu Yanguang's report was completed, not only Emperor Tianzuo turned his anger into joy, but even Yelu Dashi's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking: If he really cultivated this big array, then the Liao Kingdom would be saved.
Although Wu Yanguang took the military power from Yelu Dashi's hands, Yelu Dashi did not reject Wu Yanguang. This is just like the change of officials in later generations, the officials who have been taken down by their superiors have no reason to hate the successor, they are all done by themselves, no wonder others, the official position cannot be empty, there will always be someone to take over.
Of course, there is one exception, that is, the initiator of his own takedown is this successor.
But Wu Yanguang to replace Yelu Dashi obviously does not have this situation, so Yelu Dashi has no rejection of Wu Yanguang, everyone is for the Khitan clan, as long as you can lead the team to win this war.
This is not to say that Jerodashi is generous. Because in addition, there is a more subtle relationship between Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang - Wu Yanguang's formation is related to Zhuge Wuzhi. Zhuge Wuzhi is known as the first person in the world's formation, if this Taiyi Mixed Heavenly Elephant Array is not from his disciples, then how powerful can it be?
Zhuge Wuzhi is one of Xiao Feng's two masters, but he hasn't taught Xiao Feng too many formations, after all, Xiao Feng is not a general who leads the army, and it doesn't make much sense to teach her these battle formation methods, he only passed on the secret weapon technique to Xiao Feng - Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Therefore, Xiao Feng is not only the younger sister of Yelu Dashi, but also the younger sister of Wuyan Guang, and although Zhuge Wuzhi has not taught Yelu Dashi any peerless learning, but from Xiao Feng, Yelu Dashi also respects Zhuge Wuzhi as a teacher, and then he and Wu Yanguang are also a bit of a senior brother.
Although Xiao Feng has been married to another woman's wife at this time, Zhuge Wuzhi is still staying in the Liao State in a dignified manner, even if Yelu Dashi is angry with Xiao Feng, but he can't hate the house and Wu to offend Zhuge Wuzhi, Zhuge Wuzhi is a veteran of the Liao military, as early as the reign of Taoist Yelu Hongji is the head of a mysterious force in the military, specifically responsible for organizing personnel to carry out espionage, assassination and other activities, and has made great contributions to the elimination of dissidents in the Liao State.
Yelu Dashi can't afford to offend Zhuge Wuzhi, and there is no reason to offend Zhuge Wuzhi, so he won't have any estrangement with Wu Yanguang.
He has such an attitude towards Wu Yanguang, on the other hand, Wu Yanguang is the same to him, he has always called him senior brother, at this time Emperor Tianzuo ordered people to prepare, Wu Yanguang looked at Yelu Dashi, and said: "Senior brother, you came just in time, it just so happens that brother I have something to ask for......"
Yelu Dashi knew what he meant when he heard this, so he smiled and said politely: "If you want to set up a formation in the south of the city, why do you need to discuss it with me?"
There is no doubt that the formation of 200,000 people needs a fairly large field to be arranged, at least the Bird's Nest Stadium in later generations cannot accommodate this kind of large-scale killing formation, and the open space surrounded by the runway of the Bird's Nest Stadium was filled with only 30,000 middle school students, and it was crowded and crowded with people. And the battle array can not be arranged like this, the battle array is to fight with the enemy, if their own people are crowded together first, there is no need to wait for the enemy to arrive, just the accidental injury caused by the eighteen weapons carried with them is enough to send these soldiers back to their hometown.
Therefore, in order to arrange such a huge battle formation, it is necessary to find a piece of Happy Valley, and this Happy Valley is only suitable for the south of Yanjing City.
The southwest of Yanjing is mountainous, there is the West Mountain due west, and the northwest is Badaling, so the terrain is obviously not suitable for the layout of the Taiyi Mixed Sky Elephant Array, and to the east of the east moat, the distance between the Jin Bing camp and the moat bank is too close, and it is still not enough to calmly deploy the formation.
You can't go and discuss it with the generals of the Jin army - you retreat thirty miles first, and when we set up the formation and you come back, it's strange that the generals of the Jin country are willing to discuss this matter with you.
Only the field due south is the place to choose for this formation. Although there were also Jin soldiers camped and besieged in this area, compared to the east and north directions, the number of Jin troops on this side was the smallest.
Because the Jin army was not very worried about Yelu Yanxi abandoning the city and fleeing south. Where can they flee to the south? The Great Song Dynasty will not shelter the Liao Emperor who has bullied them for a hundred years. The reason why the Jin army also arranged a certain number of soldiers and horses in the south of the city was mainly to prevent Yelu Yanxi from asking for help from the Song State.
The emperor of the Liao State would not be treated well by running to the Song State in person in a distressed manner, but if he asked the Song State to unite as the lord of the Liao State, the Song State might really succumb to the century-old power of the Liao State.
Yelu Dashi is in charge of the defense of the south of the city, and Wu Yanguang wants to set up a formation in the south of the city, and it is not possible to communicate with Yelu Dashi, and directly take the holy decree to open the way, or even take the emperor to set up the formation and ignore the existence of Yelu Dashi? That will inevitably lead to the breakdown of the personal relationship between the two, not to mention, it will not be beneficial to fight against the current anti-Jin war.
At that moment, the three of them rode to the southern courtyard to teach the military field and gather troops and horses.
The Nanyuan Sect Military Field is an armament facility prepared by the Liao State for the use of troops against the Song Dynasty, but it has only been used once since it was built, that is, the time when Yelu Hongji personally led an army of 200,000 troops to the south.
In that southern expedition, because the Song State had always been tightly defended in the south, the soldiers and horses sent from Yanjing first marched westward, preparing to break through into the Song realm from the weakly defended Yanmen Pass, and then the troops could be directed at Bianliang, but that time they were rejected by Xiao Feng.
Since then, this teaching and military field in Yanjing has not been officially opened, until this time when the Jin soldiers came to the city, Wu Yanguang had no choice but to re-activate, and here they practiced each of the feet and eyes of the Taiyi Mixed Sky Elephant Array.
In the final analysis, the Taiyi Mixed Sky Elephant Array has never had a complete "rehearsal" once, because the Liao army simply has no conditions to find such a suitable venue for rehearsal.
Flags were displayed inside and outside the teaching army, and the flags were divided into five colors, blue, yellow, red, white and black, only to see Emperor Tianzuo stunned.
How many flags does this have? Counting the soldiers inside and outside the field, on average, one out of every three soldiers holds a flag, and even if he has not studied modern mathematics, Yelu Yanxi can calculate that there are as many as 60,000 soldiers holding flags.
After being stunned for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Why do you want so many flags?"
Wu Yanguang bowed and said: "This Taiyi Mixed Sky Elephant Array is full of banners to confuse the enemy......
Of course, Yelu Dashi understands that this Taiyi Mixed Celestial Elephant Array is actually a flag array, and the entire formation is made of flags, once the enemy enters the formation, he sees only the flag and no one is visible, how can he fight? There are flags everywhere, you rush to kill the flag, and you can't kill anyone at all.
Under the cover of these banners, the soldiers in the formation are equipped with hooks, tripping horses, eighteen kinds of weapons and even strong bows and crossbows, and other hidden weapons.
What's even more powerful is that you can shoot arrows and crossbows in the formation, as long as you have a degree of training and don't make mistakes, you can only hurt the enemy and not yourself, which is an impossible way to play in the common situation of thousands of troops and horses.
On the high platform of the teaching military field, Wu Yanguang called the nine generals who were in charge of controlling the nine array eyes to him for a final advice. This is the first time to join forces, and if you combine them, you win, and if you don't, you lose.
There is no formation in the world that cannot be broken. It's just that the difficulty of cracking is different, and the time required is also different. If the formation is not combined, it will quickly reveal the flaws, and it is possible for the enemy to understand the rules of the formation, and once the enemy masters the flaws of this formation, then not to mention a big victory, a big defeat is good, I am afraid that all the 200,000 troops will die in the south of Yanjing City.
"Remember! This time it's not a drill, this time it's a real fight!"
Wu Yanguang said harshly, the generals did not dare to slack off in the slightest, especially now that the emperor was sitting on the stage, who would dare to take this combination lightly?
