The grassland in April is the most attractive, and the eyes are full of endless green blankets. Facing a ray of light from the east, Yun Zheng walked forward on the soft grassland, not caring about dew wetting his shoes, and the refreshing coldness extends from the instep to his heart.

If you have not been to the grassland, you cannot understand the vastness and depth of "the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep". If you have not been to the grassland, you do not know the heroic and free manner of "the sky is pressing down, and the clouds are about to pass by."

Standing under the world, stepping on the green grass carpet, makes people sing loudly.

The unknown small river splits the green all over the place and winds into the distance. Only in this way can the thick green that is almost insoluble can be divided into the north and south sides.

It would be a pity to not drink alcohol when you arrived on the grassland. Especially surrounded by the army, the sky and the earth seemed to have become their own tents. Yun Zheng not only drank, but also sang a song.

"White clouds float in the blue sky, horses run under the white clouds, wave whips and ring around, and hundreds of birds fly together..."

Before a song was finished, Wen Yanbo applauded randomly like Yun Zheng's previous appearance, and the filming was not neat and had no beauty at all.

"The song is melodious and beautiful, but the words are a little more straightforward. It is the fun of the people of Xialiba, not the elegance of my spring and white snow."

If it were in later generations, such a person would have been drowned by everyone here, but today everyone here nodded in recognition. Yun Zheng really wanted to kick the guy named Duan Yanxiu who was promoted to Wang Anshi to death. He obviously didn't know a big word, but he was also nodding.

The general kicked a deviant general to death. It was nothing to say. Farting too bad is a reason to kill him, but Yun Zheng did not intend to argue with him.

A long time ago, Wang Anshi targeted Wang Shao, a powerful general from Longxi, and believed that this guy would have a great future. However, after the Qinzhou battle, Wang Shao decisively joined Fu Bi's disciple, which made Wang Anshi very depressed for a while.

Military generals need the support of civil officials, and in contrast, civil officials also need the support of military generals. This phenomenon usually only occurs after they become officials in charge of political affairs. Although Wang Anshi is not a political affairs officer now, he was once the deputy to the political affairs officer, so he naturally knew the little things between civil officials and military officials.

This time he came to the northwest. One of his goals was to find a spokesperson for himself in the army. Wang Anshi, who was too smart, did not like the smart people. Generally, smart people have many thoughts, so there are many mistakes. Those honest generals are his best choice.

Wang Anshi, the military general in the Western Army system of Yun Zheng, did not consider it. Wang Anshi, a cavalry group under Zhao Yan, could not move, so Duan Yanxiu, who was born in the Volcano Army, was a good choice. His official position was neither big nor small, neither smart nor stupid, and the only thing he could do was his good skills in throwing guns. It is said that he could beat him within a hundred steps.

Wang Anshi will take this guy with him wherever he goes. Even Lang Tan is not qualified to join a high-level party like today, but Wang Anshi brought Duan Yanxiu, both Chen Lin and Wen Yanbo were a little unhappy.

The status of the four of them is almost the same. Whether they are talking about serious business or humorous, it is always inconvenient to have a low-level military officer in the middle.

I don’t know why such a shrewd person, Wang Anshi, made such a foolish move.

The result of doing this will only prompt Yun Zheng to find an opportunity to make this annoying guy a suicide squad, or be killed by Chen Lin in a small matter. Even if Yun Zheng and Chen Lin don’t care, Wen Yanbo is born to make trouble for people. How could he watch Wang Anshi cultivate his party members?

Today is a good day for celebration. The left wing led by Jiang Zhe defeated the Dazhou Liao army led by Liao general Xiao Chaogui at Mohu Mountain, and successfully pulled the front into a straight line. Now the army is facing the eight-gate golden lock formation set by Yelu Yixin at Tongtou Pass at the foot of Heiyun Mountain.

In fact, Yun Zheng knew almost nothing about the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. In his opinion, the so-called formation was just a borrowing of the geographical advantage, and the reasonable arrangement of troops completed one monster legend after another.

This is a metaphysical set!

That's what Yun Zheng thought. On the grassland, the most fierce army was the Mongolian cavalry and shooting army. I haven't heard of any large formations of Genghis Khan. Even if there was a formation, Temujin, who was ignorant of words, would probably not be able to understand the complex explanations.

Wen Yanbo was extremely excited these days because among the four people, he had read the most miscellaneous books. Only he could clearly explain the so-called Eight Gate Golden Lock Array.

Yun Zheng was dizzy just by looking at the array diagram drawn by Wen Yanbo. The densely packed number marks on it, and Yun Zheng looked at it for a long time but couldn't see one.

Finally, I finally found out a little trick, and then I realized that the so-called Eight Gate Golden Lock Array was a product of a purely cold weapon era.

Using reasonable terrain to use troops can always form a situation of more attacks and less attacks in a certain area, because the formation is constantly changing, and the attacking enemy troops are separated by shields or stones, thereby achieving the goal of reducing casualties and annihilation of the enemy.

Yun Zheng didn't understand that under the situation of close combat, the Liao people abandoned their cavalry's advantages to fight with themselves in position. Are they stupid or confused?

The Song army, which had gunpowder bullets and incendiary bombs, was almost invincible with the cooperation of a powerful crossbow. Yun Zheng did not believe that the Liao army under Yelu Yixin would be more elite than the command of the murderous demon king Yelu Huata. Those violent infantrymen with barbarian blood were not opponents of the Song army. Where did Yelu Yixin's confidence come from?

The huge army array arranged all the Liao army in groups together. What a good gun target? If a large number of incendiary bombs are thrown in and white phosphorus bombs are thrown in, the eight-door golden lock formation will become a real hell on earth.

The Song army is now not lacking in the ability to attack long-rangely. In fact, about 70% of the lethality of the Song army currently comes from long-range attacks. No matter how exquisite the formation set up by Yelu Yixin is, as long as the Song army does not enter, what will he do to me?

"The eight gates are: Xiu, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, Open. If you go from Shengmen, Jingmen, and enter, it will be auspicious; if you go from the wounded door, Jingmen, Xiumen and enter, you will be injured; if you go from Dumen, Deathed door and people will die... The formation changes thousands of times, Jingmen connects to the door, Dumen sends to the life door, Deathed door connects to Jingmen, Xiumen connects to the wounded door, the eight gates change each other, and they will never stop, and it is amazing!

Now, Yelu Yixin set up this formation under Tongtou Pass, we must not underestimate it. The formation consists of 200,000 Liao troops, and the formation runs for more than 30 miles. If you want to break the formation, you can only all the mighty generals come out, and attack from Su Shengmen from the southeast corner and exit from the Xijingmen, and the formation will be chaotic..."

Seeing the mouth of Wen Yanbo, Chen Lin, Wang Anshi and others were fascinated by hearing this. Yun Zheng held the wine glass and looked at the clouds in the sky and was worried.

In order to prove that his talent is not weak, Wen Yanbo has been constantly bewitching Wang Anshi and Chen Lin these days. Yun Zheng himself cannot be changed like a stone, so he wanted to persuade these two people to put pressure on Yun Zheng together, so as not to make mistakes and ruin the current hard-won good situation.

Yun Zheng now knows why Emperor Taizong's three Northern Expeditions failed. Each time it was excellent at the beginning. In the end, there would definitely be a large group of fly called civil servants buzzing in front of him, and he tricked a wise coach into a fool. It seemed that the current situation was good, but unfortunately there were always loopholes found by the Liao people, and they would inevitably be defeated in the end.

The plans planned by literati are not bad, but too exquisite. Out of caution, they will involuntarily imagine all aliens as their IQ level. Therefore, too much smoke covers everyone's eyes and cannot see clearly the initial situation.

As long as the attack was frustrated, the clever civil servants would reflect on their own plans and then design a more sophisticated plan. Then, Emperor Taizong was shot by someone, and the army of more than 400,000 were scattered overnight. The subordinates returned to the Song Dynasty were less than 80,000.

"Avoid the elites of the Liao people, we cut from the southwest and then protrude from the west, so that the enemy's eight-gate golden lock formation can be cut in half south to north, so that he cannot take care of both things and things.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for doing this, that is, the infantry we select must be the most elite, and must attack and advance eighteen miles in three hours, which is a huge test for their physical strength."

Wen Yanbo said this and stroked his beard and said with a sigh: "Even if I have made great sacrifices, I think it is worth it. After this battle, there will be no more war on Xijing Road!"

Yun Zheng's tears were about to come out. An army needed to cross the Liao people's layers of military formations and attack and advance eighteen miles. What kind of general has such ability?

According to the standards of the Beijing West Army, twenty kilograms of armor, six kilograms of long swords, four kilograms of gunpowder bullets, one and a half kilograms of short swords, four and a half kilograms of strong crossbows, and eight kilograms of thirty crossbow arrows, the basic configuration is already 42 kilograms. In addition to the necessary rations and water, with nearly fifty kilograms of weight, the most powerful soldiers of the Beijing West Army can marche for fifteen miles quickly, at least the entire young army can do it, but after arriving at the destination, most people are exhausted and lost their combat effectiveness.

Wen Yanbo was not a shallow person. His words were well-founded. Now most people in the Song Dynasty believe that the elite troops of the Jingxi Army under Yun Zheng were not as good as those of the Wei Wushang. Xunzi, Military Advisory Chapter says: "The Wei Wushang took them with his commandments, robbed three-item armor, carried twelve stone crossbows, carried fifty arrows, placed them on them, and put them on their caps and helmets and swords, and won three days of food, and went to a hundred miles a day. In the trial, they would restore their households and benefit their land and houses.

It means that Wei Wuzhu can walk a hundred miles in half a day with a hundred kilograms of things on his back... (To be continued.)
