Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Careful Preparations
The four days passed quickly. Bao Zheng only returned to Bao's mansion twice in the four days. Even if he went back, he would stay for a moment and leave in a hurry. What he was about to face was a life-and-death game. Although Bao Zheng, Cuiwei, Gongsun Ce and others kept making careful plans in the four days, this was a war that was not allowed to lose, and everyone felt extremely tremendous pressure.
In the next layout and team arrangement, Bao Zheng and others seemed to have become outsiders. Cui Wei became the protagonist at this time. Within four days, she divided the five thousand people into 1,000 squads, each team had a captain, and then every five teams were divided into one squad, and a commander was established. These two hundred squads were assigned to four commanders. This time Cui Wei arranged, Kou Sui, Pan Su, Gongsun Ce, and Fang Qing as the commanders of the four armies. In fact, Gongsun Ce was completely rushing the ducks to put them on the shelves. He had never led troops at all, nor could he do martial arts. However, when Cui Wei saw that Gongsun Ce was calm and calm in the face of things, and could not find any ideal candidates, he had to let him serve as the commander of the whole journey.
Bao Zheng heard Cui Wei's continuous arrangements in the past few days and realized that the formation of wars in ancient times was so complicated. Cui Wei first announced the central army's flag order to more than 2,000 people. The central army held the red flag, and the red flag language only dominated the commander of the four armies. There are only three categories of central army flag language: action flag language, formation flag language, and target flag language.
The operation-like flag language is divided into attack, defense, retreat, and exchange. The change is to adjust the position between the army. The formation-like flag language is to let the army arrange a formation against the enemy. Cuiwei analyzed the team of two thousand people and knew that these people were all extremely powerful experts, so three simple formations were formulated, so there were only three formations and flag languages in the flag language.
These three formations have five people as a small team. Two of them have long spears, two of them have long swords, and the captain is in the center, and the captain is wearing swords and bows. The first is the attack formation, called the Killing Formation. The Killing Formation is long spear in front, the shield player is guarding left and right, and the captain is in the center, and the attack is mainly the main one. The second is to defend the formation, with the shield player in front, left and right, and the spearman is behind, and the captain is standing in front, and the formation is mainly the main one. The third formation is called the Reincarnation Formation, but the main purpose is to break through. This formation divides the small team into two again, with a shield player immediately following a spearman, and the captain is supporting the back. The two forces of this formation attack alternately, so it is called the Reincarnation Formation.
As a formation, of course, it is impossible for only a small team to need formations. The four commanders must cooperate with these three attack methods to establish an offensive position. A commander has fifty teams. In the killing formation, five teams are in front, followed by ten teams, then fifteen, and finally twenty. The personnel arrangement is in a cone shape, which is conducive to assaulting into the enemy camp. The defense on both sides is strong, so the enemy will not easily disrupt the formation.
On the contrary, the cone shape will turn in reverse, allowing more shield players to come in front, and the defense range and strength will be greater. The reincarnation formation is a one-line snake of the three echelons. The three echelons will change the array in turn, and in conjunction with the reincarnation formation, it will turn into a wave of killing that is constantly rolling forward.
As for the targeted flag language, it means that when an important part of the enemy is discovered, the entire army needs to attack and attack, it will point out the direction of the impact.
Bao Zheng came to listen to Cui Wei's layout of marching formations for four days, and had long admired the tactical use of the ancients in the era of cold weapons. Including watching the Three Kingdoms performing arts in the 21st century, he never understood why the Yellow Turban Army was often killed by 10,000 people and abandoned their armor. The most critical part of this is the use of military discipline and formations. In the regular army, it has long been broken into pieces, and everyone in the army is responsible for what they are.
To be clear, the Yellow Turban Army was just a group of peasants back then. Not to mention weapons and armor, even a simple square formation could not stand well. When fighting a war, there was no command at all. Even if the general was willing to command, this group of people would never see it. When an army without formations faced a regular army with strict discipline and unpredictable military formations, it often slaughtered one side. As long as the formations of regular troops are not chaotic, ordinary people often have to pay several times the price to kill one of them.
Now half of the people who protected the prince to go to Taishan Temple were guards, and the other half were Kou Tang's people. Both of these two people were very disciplined. Although the formations and flag language arranged by Cuiwei were impossible to practice, everyone memorized all of this. There were fewer formations and flag languages, so it was not troublesome to remember them. The central army only knew the commander's flag language, and the commander's flag language commanded the commander, and the commander did not need flag language. He just needed a loud roar. The army was already a team, and all teams belonging to the commander could not leave the commander's position fifty feet away.
After four days of careful arrangements, a group of martial arts masters who were fighting each other had already formed a rope, and their combat power was invisibly increased by more than ten times.
On the battlefield of cold weapons, if you are a martial arts master, but encounter a team of soldiers who have been through the battlefield and have tactics and cooperation, the person who dies is definitely a martial arts master. No matter how light your body is, no matter how strong you are, any peerless martial arts will appear pale and powerless in the face of an organized and structured formation attack.
It was the fourth day, and two thousand people had gathered at the entrance of the Kaifeng Prefecture's yamen. There were more than fifty prison carts in the middle. Among the prison carts were Ding Wei, Wang Xinruo, Liu Chenggui, Chen Pengnian and other former ministers. The rest were masters of the Dharma Field Mang Tianhui who were captured by Bao Zheng, and some were Liu Jiwu's confidants. Bao Zheng decided to take all the members of the Mang Tianhui in custody this time to be executed at Taishan Temple.
So many members of the Motianhui can even touch the nerves of the Motianhui hidden in Bianjing City.
Zhao Zhen was standing on a temporary platform at this time, and behind him were Bao Zheng, Cui Wei and others.
Zhao Zhen was wearing a silver armor today, and it looked like a young general. Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, raised it over his head, and shouted to the sky: "Today, it is the time to behead the rebellion of the Motianhui. He has reported to the gods of Mount Tai and specially banned the souls of the Mount Tai Temple. Now, the people who have defeated the disaster in the country have been asked for peace in the Song Dynasty and peace in the country and the people are safe!"
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he looked around the two thousand men in the audience seriously and immediately announced calmly: "Set off! Go to Taishan Temple!"
With Zhao Zhen's order, two thousand men began to slowly head north of the city. After several days of publicity, the city of Bianjing had already known that the prince was beheading the treacherous ministers. At this time, a large number of people had already crossed the streets to send off. Ding Wei's group of people bewitched the emperor to sacrifice to the gods, and wasted the people's money. In fact, the people had long been deeply resentful among the people. This time, when he saw Prince Zhao Zhen, he actually arrested all the treacherous ministers in one breath and took them to the expensive Taishan Temple they had encouraged the emperor to build. This moment made the people of Bianjing City excited.
