On March 29th, the weather in Chuzhou had begun to smell like summer. Under the direct sunlight at noon, the officers and soldiers wearing more than 20 kilograms of armor were already sweating. After completing the final deployment, Ningshan Mansion

One hundred thousand Ning family troops finally set up camp ten miles southwest of Chuzhou City, with a panoramic view of Chuzhou City under the scorching sun.

The place Xu Xuanjie chose to camp is located on a highland in the southwest. From here, you can overlook the Chuzhou City ten miles away. From bottom to top on the hill, behind you is a cliff of more than 20 feet, with a hundred thousand troops.

The male formation was opened in a mighty manner.

In the 100,000-strong army, there is a square formation in the main tent of the central army. There are two thousand men and horses in each direction, one thousand steps away in each of the eight directions. There are five thousand men in each round formation, and every five thousand men are separated by one thousand steps.

They set up camp step by step, and the remaining 4,000 people were divided into the rear formation to prevent sneak attacks from the rear. The remaining 20,000 people were divided into two wings, and the 20,000 people were concentrated at the front in an arrow shape. It was a regular formation that could be attacked and defended.

Climbing high and looking far away, Xu Xuanjie asked: "Second Young Master, do you recognize this formation?"

Ning Yuanwu looked around at the 100,000 troops in front of him and said with a smile: "Of course I recognize it. On the basis of the Mu Formation, the teacher added square and circle formations, and also set up a tail formation and a wing formation. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat."

,students think it is a bit conservative.”

"Oh? If it were you, what formation would you use?" Xu Xuanjie asked with a chuckle.

"If it were me, I would use the Crane Wing Formation to cover the Front Arrow Formation and choose to attack directly. It would be a battle sooner or later. It would be better to attack directly and choose to attack the city with an absolutely superior force. After the Crane Wing Arrival, I would feign an attack to outflank the city. After one test, I would

You can find the weak points in his defense and attack with sharp arrows, and the city will be destroyed." Ning Yuan Martial Arts.

"What you said is true, but this kind of marching and fighting is not a child's play. A hundred thousand troops are all real men and horses. The ancients said that subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the best way. We only have one hundred thousand

The army is huge, but the Chuzhou city is flat and flat.

"It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. We should defend first to prepare for a sneak attack, and then make an attack plan." Xu Xuanjie said: "Or we can hold our troops still and harass them with surprise troops to lure the enemy out of the city to pursue them. We try to capture them. We first know how to deploy the defenses in the city."

OK."

"Teacher, you are too conservative. Our army has just arrived and its morale is high. Everyone is following the path of avenging the princess, over and over again. Without morale, this city will be difficult to break..." Ning Yuan

Martial arts.

Xu Xuanjie smiled: "Of course what you said makes sense, but this is the first battle. We can only win, not lose, and it must be a big victory."

Ning Yuanwu wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Ning Yuanwen: "Teacher has assisted my father for more than twenty years and has experienced countless battles. In this line of work, we must obey the teacher. Yuanwu, you don't need to say more. I know you are impatient."

I want to save my little sister, but marching and fighting are no better than deductions. This matter has been decided like this. Just do whatever the teacher orders you to do, and don’t say anything."

Ning Yuanwu frowned. Although he was reluctant, what Ning Yuanwen said was true, so he had to accept it.

At nightfall, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the right side of the army, and the drums and drums died down again a moment later. Ning Yuanwu stood up and saw a group of people escorting dozens of prisoners towards the Chinese army's tent, and he immediately followed.

"Report, two hundred enemy troops attacked and were repulsed by our troops. One hundred and three were killed, twenty-six were captured alive, and the rest ran away." The leading general laughed, and it was none other than Deputy General Zhang Xiaochang.

When Ning Yuanwu entered the tent, he saw that Ning Yuanwen and Xu Xuanjie were already there. Kneeling under the tent was a man wearing night clothes, his hands and feet bound, looking at them fiercely.

"This is their leader, Yu Xin." Zhang Xiaochang pointed to the man.

Xu Xuanjie asked: "Haha, of the 100,000 troops in the city, only more than 200 people were sent out. Haha, do you want to see the formation of our Ning family army? Or to find out the reality?"

"Bah, lackey, the general will send troops tomorrow and you will be cut into pieces." Yu Xin spat and cursed fiercely.

"Is Si Xingfang the one guarding the city?" Xu Xuanjie asked.

Yu Xin sneered: "You also called me Generalissimo? If I were you and surrendered now, I might even leave you with a complete body."

"Fucking hell, you dare to speak harshly when you are about to die?" Zhang Xiaochang kicked Yu Xin to the ground, stepped on his head and cursed.

"Hey, Xiaochang." Xu Xuanjie waved his hand, signaling Zhang Xiaochang not to do anything.

Zhang Xiaochang cursed a few more times, then took his feet off Yu Xin's head and straightened him up.

"That's Si Xingfang. Fang La's four marshals are not in vain. I heard that you captured Chuzhou City in three days, and besieged it for two days with a hundred thousand troops. You directly forced away the ten thousand defenders in the city.

, it’s also very glorious.” Xu Xuanjie chuckled.

Yu Xin rolled his eyes at him, but said nothing.

"I have a few questions. If you tell lies, I will chop off the heads of your twenty brothers one by one and put them in cages to feed the dogs." Xu Xuanjie's expression changed and he said extremely coldly.

Even Ning Yuanwen and Ning Yuanwu had never seen their teacher look like this, which was really terrifying.

"Kill me if you can. Besides, the lives of our followers belong to the Holy Father. So what if you kill me? Hahaha..." Yu Xin burst into laughter.

"Oh?" Xu Xuanjie slowly squatted down and said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of death, I don't believe that they are not afraid of death..."

He immediately stood up and shouted: "Come here, tie them up and kill them one by one...kill them until someone is willing to tell..."

Zhang Xiaochang laughed, turned around and left the tent: "The military advisor has issued an order. If you can provide usable information, you will be spared death. If you can help break the city, you will be promoted to one level. Others will be killed without mercy..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a group of curses, and then the wailing sounds of people who were hacked to death with random knives. After that, there was a deathly silence, with the crackling sound of torches and Zhang Xiaochang's mechanical: "Say no."

Say? Don’t say?” mixed with the sound of waving a knife.

"I said...I know..."

When Yu Xin heard these words in the tent, he stood up suddenly and rushed out of the tent: "Damn it, I'll kill you..."

Ning Yuanwu flashed the spear in his hand and shot Yu Xin through the heart, killing him in front of the tent.

You may have experienced life and death, but you have not seen the misery of other people. The shock brought to them by a hundred thousand troops with strict military discipline is far more direct than that brought by death. This sense of oppression can make them understand

They knew that the 100,000 Manichaeans in Chuzhou City were not comparable to them, and the 10,000 soldiers who escaped were even more of a mob. Their true fighting power could be seen.

Anyone who has experienced the battlefield understands this. Xu Xuanjie understands that the people he captured also understand that he wants to use this sense of oppression to force them to speak. As long as one person speaks, there will be someone.

Second, third, the more he wants to know, the better.

In Chuzhou City, Si Xingfang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes while listening to the reports of the people who had returned. The people around him began to mark the location and formation of the Ning family army on the map on the wall.

He knew very well what kind of existence the Ning family army was. Twenty years ago, it was invincible. Ten years ago, it was the only team that could fight the Turks back and forth. But at that time, they only had

Ten thousand people have now grown into one hundred thousand people. After ten years of comfort, this aura must have weakened a lot, but no matter how weak it is, it is still stronger than the Ministry of War.
