The king behind the empress

Chapter 451

The Chiyan Dragonriders and the Weiguo Army were surrounded by strong troops on both sides, neatly lined up and heavily guarded.

"It really is a strong army."

Xiao Yanbing just glanced at the military appearance of the Red Flame Dragonrider, and he knew that the Red Flame Dragonrider, known as the number one cavalry in the world, was not in vain for a while.

Aside from the equipment on their bodies, with five thousand cavalry in front, no matter whether they were men or horses, none of them moved. This kind of tacit understanding, which is close to the unity of man and horse, did not last for a few years. It couldn't be tempered at all, so in Xiao Yanbing's view, this cavalry must be the killer weapon built by Mo Congyi back then, and Mo Zizai just inherited his father's legacy.

Of course, what Xiao Yanbing didn't know was that these red-blooded dragons whose strength had reached the bone-forging level were extremely human, and there was no need to train them like ordinary war horses, they knew what to do by themselves.

However, although there were some problems in the judgment process, the result was still correct, that is, this Red Flame Dragonrider was indeed a strong army.

Therefore, the current Xiao Yanbing is more cautious about the Chiyan Dragon Rider. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Xiao Chong, take those two thousand strong crossbowmen and stand in front of the formation. If the Chiyan Dragon If you dare to charge into the formation forcefully, you bring 2000 people, and you can solve as many as you can before defending the formation!"

It sounds absurd to use archers to guard the cavalry, but Xiao Yanbing has his own plan.

As the strongest elite of the Zheng State, the Wei Guojun was trained by Zheng Ying with a large amount of resources. Naturally, they are not stingy in terms of equipment, so the strong archers in their army use more than eight stones. Bows and arrows, ordinary iron armor, can't stop their bows and arrows at all.

And this kind of strong bow, the closer the distance, the stronger the power, so Xiao Yanbing's plan is to keep the army still and only use archers to fight, and shoot as many red flame dragonriders as possible. If he held his breath, he would use the archers as the center of the formation, encircle and strangle this seemingly strong cavalry.

As the strongest commander in the world today, commanding an army of less than 2 people, he can easily command a unit of the first level, and the entire army is like a hand to him. It was easy for them to strangle in the formation.

After Xiao Chong took the order to go down, Xiao Yanbing opened his mouth to order again: "Pass down the order, take the strong archer as the leader of the formation, and deploy the chariots to hang the formation."

The car suspension formation is a circular formation. If the formation is completed, the entire army looks like a mosquito coil from the sky, and the outermost end is the head of the formation, or it can be said to be the tail, because once it meets the enemy After the army hands over, the entire car suspension formation will be activated in an instant, and then centered on the leader of the formation that is fighting the enemy, it will march in the opposite direction and surround the enemy army that is fighting the leader of the formation.

Then the whole army was like a python, putting pressure on the besieged army, and finally hanged the army trapped in the formation alive.

It's just that this kind of formation is too complicated. Under this kind of formation, all the soldiers of the army are like gears that are meshed in layers. There must be no mistakes, otherwise the formation may fall into chaos, just like a disk. If a boa constrictor is lying on its body, instead of entangled the enemy, it will become very embarrassing.

Therefore, even if general generals have confidence in themselves, they dare not easily put on this formation.

It's just that Xiao Yanbing is not among these general generals. He is driven by the command of the army, and he came up with a formation that is most suitable for strangling. dragon ride.

"The car hangs."

Yang Yanzhang is not an incompetent person either. When the Wei Guojun just changed his formation, he saw the formation of the Wei Guojun. He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "As expected of the Wei Guojun's double wall!" One, it really lives up to its reputation."

"Ok?"

Mo Zizai has learned formations before, but he is very particular about his work. If the master teaches him knowledge, he will return it to the master. If there is any debt, he will never default. So at this moment, he watched Xiao Yanbing change formation, Basically didn't see anything.

Seeing Mo Zizai's puzzled expression, Yang Yanzhang told Mo Zizai about the situation of the car suspension formation, emphasizing that the formation is complicated and difficult to operate.

"Looking at the delicateness of the opponent's formation transformation, Xiao Yanbing's control of the army has at least reached the level of Shichang, among other things, but with this ability to control the soldiers, he can be unrivaled in the world."

"oh, I see."

Mo Zizai nodded half-understood. He really had no idea about this thing, so he was a little confused about what it meant to command at the level of Shichang.

"This means that when he commands operations, he can be as detailed as ten people."

Yang Yanzhang looked at Mo Zizai as if he didn't understand yet, so he couldn't help explaining again helplessly: "If the two armies are in a melee, he can let all the soldiers under his command face the enemy at the same time, and the enemy's side, without him With such a strong commanding ability, soldiers can easily hinder their own people."

"In this way, the 1 people in his hands can exert the power of 1 people on the battlefield, while the 1 people in the enemy's hands can only exert half or less of the effect, so the gap will be revealed in one fell swoop. "

"Oh, I got it!"

Listening to Yang Yanzhang's detailed explanation, Mo Zizai immediately understood, isn't this just micromanagement, but micromanagement during war is much more difficult than playing games in his previous life, after all, all the soldiers here can only fight at the same time , while accepting orders with his eyes, he can command to the senior level in this way, which is really awesome!
Mo Zizai thought of this, and suddenly asked Yang Yanzhang curiously, "Then how far can you command?"

"me?"

Yang Yanzhang was stunned when he heard Mo Zizai's question, and then he answered: "I am not as good as Xiao Yanbing. If I go all out, an army of 2 people can command up to the level of a centurion at most."

"Centurion? It doesn't feel that bad."

A centurion or above is a centurion, so Mo Zizai feels that Yang Yanzhang is not that bad.

"The gap is huge."

Yang Yanzhang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Although the difference is only one level, it is a qualitative difference. On the battlefield, mobilizing 100 people and mobilizing ten ten-man teams are definitely two different concepts."

"Let's just tell the prince, as far as I know, within 2 people, a general who can command a centurion or below must have at least two palms, and the only one who can command a long one is Xiao Yanbing. "

"oh, I see."

Mo Zizai almost understood in his heart that if those well-known generals from various countries were considered top-notch generals, then Xiao Yanbing was a top-notch one, and he could be regarded as the strongest person in the commander-in-chief class.

"Eh, that's not right."

Mo Zizai suddenly thought of someone, if Xiao Yanbing was considered to be top-notch, then his father had been fighting against Xiao Yanbing and his brothers for more than ten years, what was he?

Thinking of this, Mo Zizai directly asked, "Do you know how far my father can command?"

"The first emperor..."

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Yang Yanzhang was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I have never seen the first emperor take action, but according to the information I got, the first emperor...has an army of more than [-] people. , can pass orders to every soldier with ease."

Mo Zizai was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "Ten thousand people? Every soldier?"

"Well, ten thousand people, every soldier."

Yang Yanzhang answered Mo Zizai's question with certainty.

"..."

Mo Zizai was speechless for a long time, and finally said two words, "Niubao!"

Apart from these two words, Mo Zizai didn't know what to say. An army of more than [-] people commanded a single person. Is his cheap old man's brain a quantum computer?How could he count so many people?

There is also the transmission of orders on the battlefield. If such detailed orders are passed on, I am afraid that after a battle, it is hard to say how many soldiers will die.

But even though Mo Zizai felt that this kind of command ability was a little too scary, he didn't question Yang Yanzhang. After all, Yang Yanzhang didn't need to exaggerate when he told him these things.

So for the first time, Mo Zizai admired his cheap old man. No wonder he was able to beat David Shuangbi and could only defend passively. Moreover, after learning that he had returned to Beijing, the ambitious fourth uncle had no resistance at all. Means, directly lead people to withdraw to the north.

If he hadn't opened it up, he would have run away when he met such a perverted master.

"alright."

Mo Zizai thought about his father's heroic deeds for a while, then withdrew his mind, and returned his attention to this battle, "You are not as good at commanding as he is, and you are not as many people as him. Now he has set up a chariot formation, How are you going to fight."

"Simple."

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Yang Yanzhang suddenly showed a treacherous smile, "If you can't beat him with your skills, then use your strength to defeat him."

In terms of command ability, Yang Yanzhang is naturally inferior to Xiao Yanbing, but he dares to say that the Red Flame Dragon Knight under his command can crush the Wei Guojun in terms of strength and equipment. Just crush him with strength.

Although the reckless method is simple and crude, and does not show the level of the commander, but there is nothing wrong with it, it will be fine if he can win.

Yang Yanzhang has never been entangled in how he won, as long as he can win, let alone directly crushing the win with reckless means, he will do it even if he wins lying down!

"Just to my liking."

Hearing what Yang Yanzhang said, Mo Zizai couldn't help showing the same treacherous smile. He wanted to use any strategy and command, and if he was stronger than the opponent, he could simply crush him.

Let you come up with all kinds of clever tricks, I just draw the knife and do it, as long as the knife in your hand is strong enough, no matter what strategy you have, it won't work.

Today, let this commander-in-chief, who is now number one in the world, experience what it means to be a scholar who meets a soldier!

"Directly attack the whole army?"

Mo Zizai asked a question, quite eager to try.

"..."

Yang Yanzhang was a little speechless when he heard the words, he quickly comforted him: "No hurry, no hurry, we haven't fought yet, we need to test the strength of the enemy army."

"Although it is unlikely, if the strength of the enemy army is not much different from ours, then we may not be able to get out if we go in."

Since he was almost cheated by Situ Yao last time, Yang Yanzhang has become very stable when commanding the battle. Although he is less aggressive and will miss some opportunities, at least he will not be ambushed in this way, so it is hard to say Pros and cons.

But Mo Zizai didn't care about these things. Hearing Yang Yanzhang's persuasion, he immediately agreed with kindness, and asked, "Do you need to dispatch the Shenbow Battalion?"

"not needed for now."

Yang Yanzhang shook his head, rejected Mo Zizai's suggestion, and explained: "Xiao Yanbing probably doesn't know the existence of the Shenbow Battalion yet, so we can hide the Shenbow Battalion temporarily, and give Xiao Yanbing a big surprise at the critical moment .”

When the opponent is unprepared, the archers of the Divine Bow Battalion can definitely show their greatest strength by killing the generals and messengers on the opposite side, so Yang Yanzhang is not in a hurry to let the Divine Bow Battalion appear so early.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Mo Zizai saw that Yang Yanzhang already had a draft in mind, so he didn't want to add to the confusion here. Anyway, the pioneers he sent to test would definitely not have his own share, so he took Tang Weilu and Zhou Qi together to go to the one that was built yesterday. On the high platform, stand on the platform and start to observe the situation of the two armies fighting.

The cavalry that Yang Yanzhang sent out for the first time to test was only 500 cavalry. These [-] people held hard bows and originally had a very long range. Arrive, move on.

"Sure enough, it's cautious enough."

Looking at the five hundred cavalry, Xiao Yanbing also frowned slightly. Although he had already guessed that the general on the opposite side was cautious, but seeing that he sent five hundred cavalry over to test, Xiao Yanbing felt a little helpless in his heart. Not to keep the five hundred cavalry.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yanbing directly passed the order, "Order the strong archers to stand still, and wait until the cavalry reaches the range of ordinary bows and arrows before firing arrows."

"Remember, tell them not to draw the bow fully, it's better to draw half the bow, so as not to frighten them."

Those cavalry were all in heavy armor. If the strong archers drew half their bows, they shouldn't be able to break through their defenses so easily. If so, they shouldn't be scared off, right?

……

In this way, under the order of the coaches of both sides, the battlefield fell into a strange situation, that is, both sides had clearly entered each other's shooting range, but they both pretended not to be able to shoot, and no one would release the arrow.

Waiting until the Chiyan Dragonrider approached the range of ordinary bows and arrows, the commander on the strong archer's side gave the order with some hesitation, "Fire the arrows!"

Under the half-bow, although these bows and arrows were also full of strength, when they hit the armor of the Scarlet Flame Dragonrider, it was like scratching an itch, causing no damage at all.

And as the Wei Guojun fired arrows, the Red Flame Dragonriders immediately began to shoot back as if they had received some signal, but they didn't use the strong bows on their backs, but the spare bows they carried, and shot them out. They are all ordinary arrows.

Before the Red Flame Dragonriders started to shoot arrows, the defending army had already raised their shields, so this wave of ordinary arrow rain fell on their side, basically causing no casualties.

The commanders of the two sides, just like this, played a fake match without any prior discussion.

And seeing this result, the two even scolded each other at the same time.

"Old Fox."

"Little Fox."
