Chapter 2: Marquis Wu deploys eight more formations
Chapter 2: Wu Hou set up the eight formations again
Three months later, Olivia and others returned to Tianlai City. The missions who went to the imperial capital to discuss tax payment matters were very excited. Thanks to the dedicated help of Prince Bit and Prime Minister Kukor, the tax rate of Tianlai City was only one-third of that of other cities.
However, under the pressure of the Empire of Light, the Empire ordered Tianlai City to build 30,000 magic crossbows and 50,000 crossbow arrows for it every year.
Four months later, the Light Empire suddenly dispatched 200,000 troops to station the border with the Shenlong Kingdom. The Light Empire's eyeing him immediately shocked the whole country of Shenlong Kingdom. King Guti immediately dispatched the army of Marshal Hongdu to guard the border.
Since the Hongdu army was heading to the border, Yingyue had to stay in Tianlai City.
The border between the Dragon Empire and the Light Empire is blocked by a large river. This side of the river is within the Dragon Empire, and the other side of the river is the border between the Empire of Light.
The Dragon Empire is not far from the river. If the Empire of Light wants to cross the border, it must wait until the cold weather is frozen and the river water freezes before it can cross the river.
When the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, it is also the driest time for the trees to be the driest. When Marshal Hongdu was about to leave, Yingyue asked Marshal Hongdu not to station the army by the river and the woods, and must be wary of fire and water attacks.
Moreover, Sprite, the only water-based saint magician in the mainland, is also in the Empire of Light, so she must be careful to use the power of the river to attack the army. Yingyue also told her father to always pay attention to the changes in the river water. If the river water breaks down or there is little water, she must evacuate the army for a distance.
In the empty areas of the river and the woods, only two to thirty thousand troops are stationed. Even if the army of the Light Empire cannot be stopped from crossing the river, they can retreat to the woods to perform ambush tactics.
These are all the gains from Yingyue's learning of military law after following Kong Ming to learn military law. Kong Ming can be regarded as a teaching of his military strategy to Yingyue. Yingyue is smart and smart, and can immediately become familiar with and master these novel and strange tactics.
Yingyue herself judged the safest and most appropriate way to garrison based on the terrain of the border between the Dragon Kingdom and the Light Empire. Of course, she asked Kong Ming again, and Kong Ming pointed out several shortcomings for him.
Originally, what Yingyue thought of was the enemy's fire attack, but she did not expect the enemy to use the water attack strategy. After all, there has never been a water attack strategy in this continent, so Yingyue did not think about it in that direction.
Kong Ming did not directly tell Yingyue how to garrison the army, but personally made a three-dimensional sand table. He used the border terrain between the Shenlong Kingdom and the Guangming Kingdom to create a three-dimensional sand table, and asked Yingyue to be the army of Marshal Hongdu, while Kong Ming treated it as the army of the Guangming Empire and carried out a sand table exercise.
At the beginning, Yingyue stationed the army near the forest, but was almost destroyed by a fire from Kong Ming. Yingyue, who was dissatisfied, moved the army away from the forest and approached the river for the second time. Kong Ming used water magic to freeze the army by the river. The third time, Yingyue cut down a piece of the forest, leaving the river and away from the forest. Kong Ming used the method of cutting off the water flow to drive the water to destroy Yingyue's army.
After several exercises, Yingyue finally knew that as long as the army was stationed between the forest and the river, it would be a dead end. The best way for the army to give up the border and station in the forest is to stop.
Kong Ming smiled slightly and said to Yingyue: "In fact, there is no need to give up the border. You only need to send a small number of troops to station there. Send 30,000 light cavalry to station between the river and the woods, so that the enemy can be restrained without too much danger. You just need to pay attention to the changes in the river. If the enemy attacks water, with the movement speed of the light cavalry, you can retreat to a safe place. Even if the enemy army crosses the river, you can retreat to the woods for ambushing."
Yingyue was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately ran to instruct her father. Marshal Hongdu just smiled slightly and did not take it too seriously. Soon, he set up a camp and set up a camp. After replacing the soldiers from Dingkaishan Fortress and Tianlai City, the army rushed to the border of the Guangming Empire.
Yingyue stayed in Tianlai City. Now she is obsessed with this city. There are countless novel things that attract her. Kong Ming's strategy, magic knowledge and various mechanisms of calculation make Yingyue extremely admire his profound knowledge.
Moreover, there is another place in Tianlai City that makes her even more obsessed, that is the Magic Laboratory. It seems that something attracts her, making her stay there almost every day and perform various magic experiments. And her obsession with magic experiments also surprised Kong Ming.
Since Yingyue arrived in Tianlai City, she felt that her time was not enough. Now the time of every day seemed to have been shortened a lot. She just buried her head in an experiment, and a day passed in a flash. Time seemed to pass quickly without realizing it.
Now she is working hard to study a magic that can make people sleepless and still have spirit. In that case, she can do magic experiments every day and learn various knowledge from Kong Ming. The only thing that can interrupt her to conduct magic experiments is that Kong Ming teaches her various knowledge.
Kong Ming did not have much time to teach Yingyue after the Hongdu army left. He is now arranging an eight-format map where the Hongdu army was originally stationed.
The reason why Kong Ming arranged the Eight Formation Map was to guard Tianlai City. Arrangement of Eight Formations here could block the impact of the Kaile Empire's army and even reach hundreds of thousands of troops.
Secondly, you can teach the eight formations to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be familiar with the changes in the formation and the power of the formation. If the soldiers can hide in the formation and control it freely, even a million soldiers may not be able to break the formation.
When Kong Ming and his confused soldiers buried huge rocks and underground, they were stacked with rocks and reinforced them with soil magic to form hill-like rocks.
The hills made of rocks are like stalagmites and underground. There are a total of 64 stone mountains, turning it into a group of stones.
The eight stone formations have sixty-four bases, and there are portals in all directions. Each gate is arranged in the direction of Qimen Dunjia. The outside of the formation is as calm as usual, but there is endless murderous intent hidden inside the formation.
The soldiers looked at these piles of stones strangely, not knowing why the city lord arranged such piles of stones. However, they were full of respect for the city lord and knew that the city lord would not build this pile for no reason.
Only Huanqi, Yali and others knew the power of the stone pile built by Kong Ming, and the one who knew the most was Huanqi. Because he had presided over the large formation, he had a deep understanding of the power of the large formation. He had always been inexplicably afraid of the magical formation of the city lord. This formation that was arranged to attract the power of the heaven and earth was not something humans could compete with.
Moreover, the Fantasy Cavalry has always thought that this belongs to God's realm, and he has always regarded him as a god for the city lord.
When the formation was formed, the last pile of stones was laid, and the formation immediately changed. A faint cloud and mist floated up from the formation, and a layer of cloud and mist formed in the formation. The clouds and mist gathered on the various stones and circled around the stones.
All the warriors were immediately attracted by the wonders in front of them, and they looked at the cloud-like stone formation so beautiful.
Each of the sixty-four stones is more than ten meters high, and the top of each stone is condensed with layers of clouds. The clouds are attracted by the stones and condense into white clouds surrounding the top of the stones.
There was a faint mist in the stone formation at this time, and the faint mist made the stone formation seem like an illusion. And human eyes could still see the distance through the faint mist.
The soldiers looked at the city lord curiously, not knowing what the use of this dreamy stone forest was. And the Huanqi suddenly had a smirk on his cold face, and he put a warrior who was looking at Kong Ming curiously into the stone formation.
The warrior was kicked into the formation and disappeared immediately. The faint mist could still be seen in the distance, but the warrior entering the mist could no longer be seen. The soldiers who were watching were stunned immediately. Seeing that the warrior entered the stone formation, how could he disappear from his sight in an instant?
The warrior kicked into the formation was panicked at this time. As soon as he entered the formation, the scenery in front of him immediately changed drastically. The original mist had disappeared, as if he had entered a primitive stone forest. There were towering huge rocks everywhere, and the flying sand and stones were flying everywhere.
The strange rocks were rugged and the sand was flying. The sky was shining with red sunlight, as if the end of the world was coming. The deafening sound of flying sand and rolling stones, and the violent wind blew his skin like a knife. The strong soldier was trembling in his heart at this moment. Such a strange scene was that he lost his courage.
The sound of war drums was still vaguely heard from afar, as if thousands of troops were whistling towards him. The huge pressure made his body heavy, and his body seemed to be blown away by the strong wind.
Just when he felt desperate, a hand suddenly appeared and pulled him out of the stone formation.
As soon as the stone formation came out, the warrior's face was pale, his whole body was already wet with cold sweat. There was a look of panic in his eyes, and his hands were trembling slightly.
When he calmed down, he immediately cursed: "It was that bastard who kicked me in!"
All the soldiers immediately surrounded him and asked what was going on and why he became so embarrassed. When he described the situation in the formation, everyone's eyes were full of awe and admiration when they looked at Kong Ming.
When Kong Ming chose to choose the candidate to control the formation, all the soldiers were almost rushing to learn the eight formations. In the eyes of these warriors, this formation was almost a realm of gods, and it was expected that everyone could learn such skills.
Kong Ming selected 6,400 soldiers who were already familiar with various formations, and each of them was a group of 800 people. According to Dunjia, they divided the eight gates, such as rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opened. Each of them was responsible for one gate, and they carried out the evolution and training of the formations with each other.
On the Dingkai Shuangshan, Kong Ming left only 10,000 people to guard the warriors. The other soldiers still trained various formations, and used formations to train the warriors' physical fitness.
As for the Kaile Empire, although Marshal Skaya still stationed 200,000 troops in Fengyue City, the Hidden Ministry still has close surveillance on Fengyue City, and any disturbances will be heard from Kong Ming.
