Chapter 107: Array of martial arts
In front of the platform, there are six large flags, and the yellow flag erected in the center is the tallest and most conspicuous.
"Chen Lang, that is the yellow flag representing the commander of the army. It is the lord of the five-color flag. The other four-color flags are used to determine the direction."
Listening to Li Siye's explanation, Chen Guang thought of the original words in the military arts of Li Weigong that Gao Xianzhi sent him later, "The five flags of the army are in the square colors: red, south, fire; white, west, gold; soap, north, water; green, east, wood; yellow, central, earth."
"Since the earth does not move, it is used as the lord of the four flags, and the general acts, holding this yellow flag in front of him. If there are thieves in the east, west, south and north, each of them raises the flag according to the colors of the square. When the soldiers on the front are urgently required to dress up. When the flag is forward, the soldiers on the front are urgently required to advance; when the flag is upright, they will stand; when lying down, they will return. If you look carefully at the flag raised by the general, you must follow the Jiedushi."
"Chen Lang really took the time to memorize the military strategy so well, that's not enough."
Li Siye smiled and said, Chen Lang really had a great ambition and would not be willing to be a general who charges in a mere battle. Like him, he has fought for so many years, and he should have memorized the art of war as if he was aware of the art of war, but he just couldn't remember too much.
Even if he had to set up a formation in a marching war, he would mostly leave it to Lai Wang, so the Protector called him a lifelong fighter, and he would be unable to have a good end.
As the drums sounded, the soldiers started to march!
Chen Guang knew that the Tang army's military formation was an extremely complex and sophisticated system, and only professional soldiers trained professionals could play. Just like the men under him who were well-trained in martial arts, how to advance and retreat through drums, horns and flags waving by flags requires years of training to form instinct.
The wealthy chiefs and ministers around were already stunned at this time. Although the troops from Yanqi Kingdom combined could still pull out 5,000 people to go to war with the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers, compared with the Tang army who were now ordered to be banned, they were a complete mob.
In the military formation, after a sound of drums, the five thousand Tang troops had completed the process of formation from dense to dispersion. The sun shone down and looked at the changes of the team that looked like flower stamens blooming. Although it could not be compared with the almost cloned army in later generations, because they were wearing armor, swords and guns, and just returned with victory, the iron and bloody and murderous aura was still thrilling.
The drums sounded again, and the Tang army's guns and flags were raised in the teams, and then the entire army began to slowly advance.
The sound of the infantry array treading on the ground was no less than the momentum of the cavalry when they attacked. At least facing the slowly approaching Tang army in front, the powerful soldiers standing there felt a sense of oppression. If it weren't for knowing that these Tang soldiers were just arraying to perform martial arts for them today, some timids would even want to escape.
Amid the drums, the flags were waving. When the military formation stopped again, the crossbowmen had already come out of the formation, opening the strings and raising arrows, and huge shouts sounded from the military formation.
"Ahhh! Alas! Alas!"
The huge sounds like tsunamis echoed in the wilderness. Chen Guang knew that this was the shouting of the Tang army, just like the Qin army shouted, "Wind, wind, wind, strong wind!"
The drums kept ringing and the war cries continued.
From the corner of Chen Guang's eyes, he could see many of the wealthy chiefs beside him so scared that their faces looked like earth, because the battle formations that the Tang army formation were posed were probably the most terrifying scene.
On the stage, the sound of the drums of twenty-four golden drums suddenly stopped, and then the five thousand soldiers in the army suddenly stopped. The shout of "Ah!" was, after a short pause, a louder and more violent sound exploded from the military formation.
"kill!"
The crossbow arrows and bows poured out in an instant with the sound of the buzzing sound of the bowstrings and the buzzing sound of the bowstrings. The dense rain of arrows shot out instantly looked like a crowd of black locusts towards the formation of the powerful army.
A puff sound rang out, and sharp arrows kept inserting into the dry sand less than fifty steps away from them. Some of the soldiers in the front lined up were frightened and peeded their pants.
Although they were domineering vicious dogs under their own Dalang, they could at most bully the civilians who didn't even dare to resist. When they met those Gelulu herders who used bone arrows, they were still afraid. Now they suddenly saw Tang Jun Yeye's powerful bow and crossbow, and they were even more scared.
"Don't Tang Jun and you guys want to kill us!"
I don't know who started talking, but the soldiers in front of the coalition forces who were originally frightened were even more panicked. At this time, the wealthy chiefs on the high platform where they were watching the formation were even pale. One was holding the hilt of the knife in his waist, staring at General Li of the Tang Dynasty who was standing with their king in horror.
"It's not that we really want to catch all of us!"
As soon as this thought arose, the paused Tang army formation was in full swing with the arrows falling to the ground and the drums that sounded again. This time, no bows and crossbows were fired at the same time. Just the soldiers rushed forward with guns, which completely scared the powerful army on the opposite side to collapse.
"Escape quickly! Tang Jun Yeye is here to kill him!"
A miserable howling sounded, and as the soldiers of the front army fled in all directions, the central and rear army, who had been terrified in the rear, also collapsed, as if waves hit the reef, instantly collapsed into pieces, splashing into the sky.
The Tang soldiers who charged the infantry only rushed out a hundred steps, and when they came, they stopped the drums and roared the gold to withdraw the troops. These powerful generals were not just mobs, but only when they were taught the flag laws, and the eight thousand soldiers scattered in a hurry. If the Protectorate really recruited these vassal troops to the battlefield one day, it would not only not help, but also drag down the Tang army.
Not only did Lai Wang's face turn black, Li Siye also looked at the wealthy chiefs who were embarrassed to hold their swords with displeasure. Just as the army launched an infantry charge, the group of birds actually drew their swords in their hands.
"Do you want to rebel?"
A cold voice sounded, and Li Siye looked at Shen Guang who suddenly spoke, and immediately agreed, "You dare to draw your sword in front of me, you are such a brave man."
The powerful general army fleeing like a wretched dog in the wilderness formed an extremely sharp contrast with the Tang army that retreated to Dahuang in an orderly manner. But at this time, the powerful chiefs all looked like earth and were covered in cold sweat on their foreheads. They thought that the Tang army and the Yeye were really going to attack their troops, so they all thought of threatening Li Siye to seek a way out.
But now it seems that they have misunderstood the Tang army. It is really just that the Tang army and the Tang army are in formation to perform martial arts. But their soldiers and horses are too timid and are actually frightened.
"General Li, they did not intend to be rude to you, but they just couldn't help themselves and wanted to cheer for the Tang Dynasty soldiers!"
"Yes, yes, we want to cheer for the Tang Dynasty soldiers! "
Seeing his king speak, the wealthy chiefs finally came to their senses and quickly echoed, and some people shouted directly, "The Tang army is mighty!"
Chen Guang saw the rich chiefs kneeling on the ground, proving their innocence with gratitude and crying, "The Tang army is mighty!" He didn't care about his collapsed soldiers and horses, and he couldn't help but think that these guys were really mean, but his desire to survive was quite strong.
"Looking at the face of the king, I didn't care about them anymore."
Li Siye saw the wink of Shen Guang, but he did not continue to pursue the matter. Anyway, these people will all die today, so let them live for more hours.
"I'm not grateful for General Li's grace for forgiveness."
Long Tuqishi looked at the rich chiefs kneeling all over the ground and shouted sternly. Then these rich chiefs and their children kowtowed like kowtow bugs.
"Okay, send someone to gather your army quickly. If it hits the capital, I won't let it go."
As Li Siye said, the rich chiefs became trembling and quickly asked their children who were accompanying him to gather the collapsed soldiers to avoid becoming chaotic troops. Then, the Tang army and others were killed completely.
"It's really a disappointment, lord, I think we'll go back to the palace to have a bar!"
At this time, Li Siye had the final say, and no one dared to speak out. Even Long Tuqishi also showed joy on his face, "It's good to eat wine, it's good to eat wine. Speaking of which, I haven't tasted the good wine made by Chen Lang for a long time. Today I will definitely be divided into the top and bottom with General Li."
"I'm afraid you won't do it."
