Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 592
The advantage of the gossip formation is that there is no weakness in the deployment. If any side is attacked, the formation with adjacent wings can automatically go to the rescue. It does not need much change for the overall formation.

However, the disadvantage of this formation is that its mobility is too poor, and such a complex formation requires a lot of time to practice.

The Six Flower Formation was derived by Li Jing, Duke of Wei, based on the Eight Formation Formation of Marquis Wu.

The Liuhua Formation inherits the basic principles of the Eight Diagrams Formation, which is also a large formation enclosing a small formation, and a large encampment enclosing a small enclave.The four sides and the four corners are connected to each other, and each curve corresponds to each other.

Because the outer six formations of the formation are square, and the central army formation inside is circular, and because its overall shape resembles hexagonal petals, it is commonly known as the six-flower formation.

At that time, Emperor Taizong once asked Li Jing why he arranged the formation into an inner circle and an outer square.

Li Jing replied: The outer six formations are regular soldiers, so they are square; the inner central army formations are odd soldiers, so they are circular.The square is used to define the scope of the battlefield, and the circle is used to connect the maneuvering routes of all parties.Therefore, the number of steps to define the scope of the battlefield should be as fixed as the earth; the route to determine the maneuver should be as flexible as the movement of celestial bodies.The number of steps is fixed, and the turns are neat, so it is not easy to cause confusion during the change.The evolution from eight formations to six flower formations is still based on Zhuge Liang's formation principle.

The outer six formations face the enemy, and the inner circle formations serve as backup.

Because the soldiers controlled by the commander in the center of the Liuhua Formation are in a circle, and it takes the same time to meet the soldiers on the periphery from any point of the circle, the difficulty of controlling the soldiers is greatly reduced.

Li Canghai has the memory of his previous life, so he knows that this six-flower formation is actually a hexagon, and the hexagon is the most stable and material-saving shape in terms of geometry.

The six-flower array is arranged in this way. First, it is very stable in structure. Second, it saves the source of troops. It is also very symmetrical and reasonable in deployment.

Although the power of the six-flower formation is slightly inferior to that of the eight-diagram formation, for the current situation, the six-flower formation is indeed the best defensive formation.

First of all, the Liuhua formation does not require the complicated formation method of the Bagua formation, which saves a lot of time.

Secondly, the mobility of the Liuhua formation has been greatly improved. Even soldiers who are not very familiar with it can make corresponding changes according to the central command.

Under Su Hai's command, [-] Tang troops ran back and forth, and hurriedly set up their formations.

However, the [-] Tang troops only formed the outer six formations, while the inner circle of the central formation fell into emptiness.

The [-] Tang troops were organized into six formations, with more than [-] soldiers in each formation.

In terms of configuration, shield soldiers are at the front, spearmen are next, and crossbowmen are at the back.

This arrangement is to give full play to the advantages of the Tang crossbowmen, which can shoot the enemy from a long distance without being hit by the enemy head-on.

After finishing all the arrangements, Su Hai came to Li Canghai, cupped his fists and said, "Marshal, the 2 troops are all arranged, it's just...the formation of the Chinese army..."

Su Hai was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, they were small in number. To ensure the strength of the outer six formations, the central army formation would be powerless.

Li Canghai shook his feather fan lightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, when the Silla army turns back, they will be the formation of the Chinese army, let all the soldiers get ready. The big battle is coming."

After Su Hai nodded, he immediately returned to the formation.

Besides, fifteen miles away from the place where Li Canghai and others lined up their troops, Dongying's [-] troops came rushing forward.

Compared with the strict and orderly Tang army, the Dongying army seemed much more scattered.

The Dongpu army has [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and the rest are all infantry, and their weapons are mainly long and short soldiers.

The general of the middle road, Oda Yukinobu, was wearing Japanese armor and battle uniform, riding on horseback, staring straight into the distance with cold eyes, exuding crazy killing intent.

The army on the right was attacked, and only a thousand people fled back. This has never happened in the history of the Japanese war.

For Dongpu, this is a shame, a huge shame!

More than [-] people were killed or injured overnight, which caused a great shock to the Dongpu army. When the news came, the Dongpu army was even more turbulent.

They did not expect that the Tang army would come to Silla from Baekje so quickly, let alone that they caught the Dongpu army by surprise with such a lightning speed.

Faced with such humiliation, how can Dongpu bear it?
Oda Yukinobu immediately made a decision not to play the cat-and-mouse game with Silla. Now that Tang Jun has arrived, he also said that it is time for them to compete with Tang Jun.

During the march, Oda Xingxin suddenly saw dust flying in front of him. A group of people came from the direction of Jincheng and stopped two miles away from the Dongying army.

"Back to the general, the king of Silla led the army to come and blocked our army's way two miles ahead!" The scout quickly reported back.

Oda Xingxin's face was gloomy, he snorted, and said solemnly: "The general hasn't looked for him yet, but he has come to your door. Send the order, and the whole army will attack, and kill him without leaving any behind!"

Hearing this, the bugler beside him immediately took out the conch and blew it into the sky.

The Japanese army at the forefront screamed and killed them one after another.

The king of Silla saw his turn, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to release a wave of feather arrows, and then ordered the whole army to retreat.

The Dongying army pursued closely, and when they passed a fork in the road, the king of Silla immediately dispatched a group of soldiers to Feng Changqing's ambush.

The Dongying cavalry were eager to kill, and they took the bait. They waved their swords one after another, and chased after them screaming.

The cavalry went to chase and kill the scattered troops, and the rest of the troops continued to pursue the Silla army.

At the same time, Gao Xianzhi, who was lying in ambush on the left, immediately ordered someone to shoot an arrow.

The sudden rain of arrows immediately caused the leading infantry of Dongpu to panic.

"General, there is an ambush!" A general said to Oda Yukinobu.

Oda Xingxin snorted, and said: "Tang Jun and Jincheng together only have 4 people. Even if it is an ambush, how many people can be ambushed? According to this general, it is just a bluff!"

He paused, his eyes turned cold, and he shouted: "Mr. Chuan Dao, I will give you 5000 troops, be sure to kill all those who are in ambush! No one will be left behind!"

The general stared at him, bowed his head and let out a sigh, then drew out his weapon and led more than 5000 people to kill the arrow on the left.

More than 8000 people were removed from the left and right wings, and the remaining 5 people still went all out to hunt down the Silla army.

In front of the Liuhua formation, Li Canghai looked calm, and he gently shook his feather fan.

After experiencing several battles in succession, Li Canghai was no longer as jerky and nervous as he was when he was marching for the first time, but became extremely calm and calm.

"Cang Hai, look, they are coming!" Di Qing suddenly pointed to the front and said.

A few miles ahead, the dust was flying and the sky was filled with smoke.

The king of Silla led the army and quickly withdrew here.

In a short while, the King of Silla rode his horse to a hundred feet in front of Li Canghai, and shouted loudly, "Marshal! The Japanese pirates are here!"
