Yingyangwei arrived too early. After Cao Rui and others went to the county seat from Yingyangwei's station, they had lunch and rested for two hours.
, the second new army arriving in Hai'an County appeared. What was surprising was that this new army was actually the Fengwu Guards led by Lin Xi. What was even more surprising was that Lin Xi not only led the team to arrive in person, but also showed up in spirit.
It looked pretty good. King Yueyang, who was dressed in military uniform, didn't look like his usual weak-looking person. Instead, he looked quite sunny and heroic, which surprised Cao Rui and others.
Lin Xi knew that she had taken second place. Although she was far behind Ying Yangwei, she had managed to get rid of the fourth child. Moreover, she felt a bit surprised at the looks of surprise from the people in front of her, and felt even more grateful in her heart.
Yun Zheng, with his original body, let alone walking with the army like Yun Zheng, even if he rode on horseback like this time, it would definitely be too much. But last time I listened to Yun Zheng's advice and usually participated in the same training as soldiers.
At first he was so tired that he almost gave up, but thinking about the tempting position, he finally persisted. When the results came out, it was indeed very exciting. Although he came on horseback for this march, to be honest, on those curved roads
Riding a horse for a long distance on a trail may not be much more comfortable than walking, but he not only persevered, but also found that it was not as difficult as he imagined.
Lin Xi had just arrived, and less than a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Jun's Tiger Wing Guards arrived. Zhou Jun felt very uncomfortable when he saw that Lin Xi had arrived before him. The only opponent of the Zhou family should be the Yun family, the royal family.
When has the army ever been able to compare with his Northwest Frontier Army? But this time he was a little behind. Not only did Yunzheng's Ying Yangwei create a magical record, but Lin Xi, a talented scholar, actually ran so fast.
But the most memorable thing is that Zhou Duzhi actually got lost for nearly an hour less than thirty miles away from Hai'an County! This is purely a mistake! If he hadn't wasted this hour by delaying it, the second place would have been
It's completely safe. How could it be Lin Laoliu's turn?
After Zhou Jun arrived, about half an hour later, another magical scene occurred: Lin Sheng's Long Xiang Guard and Leng Yu's Wolf Tooth Guard arrived at the same time. After asking, I found out that the two guards were traveling together all the way.
, and two-thirds of the journey was taken on the official road, and they only took a small road on the detoured section of the official road, so they arrived in Hai'an County at the same time. However, although the official road was easy to walk, it was still somewhat detoured.
After all, it is too late, so we can only tie for the bottom.
Regardless of the irritation of Zhou Jun, Lin Sheng, Leng Yu and others, Yun Zheng and Lin Xi achieved a complete victory in this round. Although it was only a staged victory, after all, one, one, two, always had to celebrate a little.
Fortunately, although Hai'an County is only a county town, thanks to the great port of Yangzhou, its prosperity is not comparable to that of inland areas. Unfortunately, there are no good restaurants. Originally, Yun Zheng felt that there was no need to start celebrating now. After all, Ying Yang Wei will be here tomorrow.
The first one to perform formation drills, but Lin Xi, the scholar prince, led troops for the first time and defeated the fourth child in the first competition. He felt very excited and wanted to drag Yun Zheng to celebrate.
Yun Zheng said it was because he wanted to thank Yun Zheng for helping him. Yun Zheng was a little helpless, but he couldn't refuse. He had no choice but to agree. He just wanted to go alone. With his own inner strength, it would naturally not affect his spirit tomorrow.
As long as Yun Zheng can arrive, Lin Xi doesn't care whether the other generals of Ying Yangwei are present. He is a smart man and knows that as a royal prince, having too much dealings with frontier generals can easily lead to misunderstandings, whether within the royal family or with Yun Zheng.
The whole family is unhappy, so I don’t say much. It’s just that this guy has been to Miaoyufang twice before. He has a soft spot for brothels, so he wants to find a brothel where he can go and have fun. Yunzheng’s last time was still there.
Without proper arrangements, how could he dare to go to a brothel again this time? If there were any new rules in the place where he went, he would bring it home again. No matter how generous Lin Yuyan was, he himself would not think it was a problem and quickly pulled Lin Xi over and said
We have a performance tomorrow, so we can find a restaurant today
Although Lin Xi was a little unhappy, she had already discussed the possible situation of a formation performance before. She knew that she and Yun Zheng were at a disadvantage in tomorrow's formation performance. If they really didn't perform well, it would be a bit bad to lose.
Well, wouldn’t that ruin today’s advantage? After thinking about it, I agreed.
At this banquet, only Yun Zheng, the general commander of Ying Yang Guard, was present, but the entire senior leadership of Feng Wu Guard was present. Several generals who had previously had a cold attitude towards Yun Zheng, because of this victory, also had a strong impression on Yun Zheng.
Zheng has become a lot more enthusiastic. Of course, the gap between the central army and the frontier army cannot be broken by such a thing. The so-called enthusiasm means that when drinking, the attitude is not as cold as before. It is much more
Just some laughter
There was nothing major at the banquet, and even the situation that Yunzheng was secretly worried about being picked on by some people didn't happen. He was a little surprised. Lin Laosi actually became honest this time?
At the end of Hai Shi, Yun Zheng returned to the temporary station of Ying Yang Guard under the escort of the white-clothed guards. At this time, the bright moon was high and the evening breeze was slightly cool. Yun Zheng was drunk. Looking at the moonlight, he felt that he was suffocated.
I wanted to be poetic at that time, so I came up with a few lines such as "When will the bright moon come" or "The willow bank, the dawn wind wanes the moon", etc. Fortunately, I suddenly remembered such famous lines, and it would be better to "improvise" them at important times in the future.
, finally endured it
After returning to the commander's tent, he discovered that Yun Yi and others were still awake and were discussing changes in formations and other arrangements for tomorrow's performance. The well-fed and drunk Commander-in-Chief Yun did not become thicker-skinned, but actually felt a little embarrassed.
As if he had eaten alone, with a hint of drunkenness, he smiled and said: "Still discussing? Well, how is it, has there been any result from the discussion?" He drank some wine and became more casual, minding his own business.
Sit on the main seat
Yun Yi moved his nose, took a deep sniff, and said with an intoxicated look on his face: "Old Bamboo Leaf Green, at least ten years old... But will this celebration wine be a bit bland if I drink Bamboo Leaf Green?"
Yun Zheng waved his hand: "If you can let our Ying Yang Guard Formation get a first-class performance tomorrow, you will drink Jade Dew and Fine Nectar. I, Yun Zheng, will even build a ladder to the Heavenly Palace and lend you some to try!"
Yun Yi laughed: "Young Marshal, this ladder is a sacred object, it can be built up to the Heavenly Palace."
Xu Shaoyang also laughed, but he was much more reserved than Yun Yi. He said: "I saw Ying Yangwei marching today, I'm afraid some people really want to spread the rumors that the young marshal is a god."
Yun Zheng laughed loudly: "After the 'Debate on Imperial Learning' and 'Jin Luan Fu Wen' last time, didn't they just say that I was a Wenquxing? Later, after the Miao Yufang incident, the Sixth Prince said that it was rumored that the dragon and the phoenix danced on the two guards.
There are many people who say that I am a Wuqu star, but now this time...I'm afraid I don't know what star I will be changed to."
Yun Yi pointed to the sky: "Purple stars in the sky at the North Pole..."
The faces of everyone in the field changed. Although Yun Zheng was drunk, he also reacted and interrupted seriously: "Silence! You didn't drink, are you drunk?"
No wonder Yun Zheng was solemn and shocked. You must know that this Ziwei star is not an ordinary star. The unspeakable North Pole Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor, also known as the North Pole Great Emperor and the North Star Lord, is one of the four emperors. His full name is Zhongtian Ziwei.
The North Pole Emperor is the second god among the "Four Imperial Gods" of Taoism. Its status is second only to the highest god "Sanqing Taoist" and the Jade Emperor. North Pole is the abbreviation of the North Star, also known as "Beichen" and "Tianshu".
Living in Ziweiyuan, Volume 48 of "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" says: "There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God." Therefore, Ziweiyuan is also called Ziwei Palace, which was originally the Beijing Imperial Palace in world history and the city where the emperor lived.
It is called the Forbidden City, which is why Taoism believes that Beichen is an eternal star. It is located in the middle of the sky. It is the highest and most noble. It is the "Lord of the Stars" and the "Founder of the Gods", so it is extremely important to it.
Respecting "Jin Shu? Astronomical Chronicles", it says: "The five stars in the North Pole and the six stars in the hook and Chen are all in the Ziwei Palace. The North Pole is the most respected one in the North Queen; its thin stars are also the pivot of the sky." He also regarded them as "the great emperor's
"The seat is the permanent residence of the emperor." Kong Yingda of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "Shu Shuo Zhi Zhi": "The Big Dipper surrounds the North Pole, just like the ministers who surround the emperor, and the five stars line the constellations, and it is like the governor of the state who inspects the princes. The twenty-eight constellations are spread in all directions.
Just like the princes are guarding the emperor, all the celestial phenomena are the method of rectifying the relationship between superiority and inferiority."
As for the origin of Emperor Ziwei Jiji, "The Great Sage Xuantian Zhenwu Ben Chuan Shen Mantra Miao Jing" quoted from the "Beidou Jataka" and said: "In the early days of the Long Han Dynasty, Madam Ziguang of the Imperial Kingdom of Zhou Dynasty went to play on a spring day.
When he arrived at the Wenyu Pond, he took off his clothes and took a bath. Suddenly, he felt the nine lotus buds. When they opened, they were transformed into nine sons. The lady protected him and raised them in the palace. He volunteered to become a sage and help the universe. Each of the sons was crowned with a strong crown.
Xiu, the garden has been completed, the sky is high in the daytime, and he has received the noble position of the Three Pure Ones! The Emperor of Heaven, the eldest son, Zihui Shanggong Ji Gang, the leader of the Yuanhua Stars, Ziwei Emperor, the second son, Zuo Beijizhongmu
The chief minister of Mingtang is gone."
According to this theory, Emperor Ziwei is the second younger brother of the Jade Emperor, and is also the "Son of Heaven" of the True Erba Sutra. However, the Jade Emperor usually has to command the Heavenly Palace and will not descend to the realm. Among the "Sons of Heaven" who can descend to earth, Emperor Ziwei is the most noble.
Therefore, among the nobles, it is generally believed that the emperor Ziwei in the North Pole will be reincarnated as the emperor when he descends to earth. For example, Li Shimin, the former Emperor Taizong, was considered to be the reincarnation of the emperor Ziwei. The great Wei Dynasty inherited Zuo from the Tang Dynasty and respected Taoism. At this time, Yun Yi said
Joking that Yun Zheng is Ziweixing is naturally a very serious matter, especially since the Yun family has a special status, and both Yun Zheng and Yun Yi themselves are very sensitive people. If such words were accidentally spread,
, the trouble is not as big as usual
Yunzheng waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it again at this time, let's talk about the arrangements for the Tianzhen performance."
Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Yunsong and the others, but didn't see much difference, and then said: "For tomorrow's formation performance, the last general has just outlined a plan, please designate to seize it..."
Yun Zheng listened quietly to Yun Yi's arrangements. The hint of drunkenness had already gone away. Now his mind was very clear, thinking about tomorrow's performance.
In ancient times, there were no individual weapons as advanced as those of later generations. In ancient times, they relied on human sea tactics and formations to organize the army. Only then could a strong combat effectiveness be assembled. Communication facilities in ancient times were backward, and large-scale formations were also conducive to the concentration of generals.
Command - Like the Qin army's military formation, all the soldiers stared at the officers in front of their ranks. As soon as the order was given from the top, everyone would take action. In this way, a huge army can be as powerful as one person with thousands of troops.
, advance and retreat in a well-founded way, and relax and unwind - it should be noted that there were no walkie-talkies and walkie-talkies in ancient times.
Furthermore, there are some special units that must also fight in formations - such as archers and crossbowmen. They must form a dense formation under unified command in order to maximize the power of the long-range weapons in their hands. The so-called "ten thousand arrows"
"Salvo" refers to this principle. Under specific actual combat conditions, such as field infantry resisting the impact of enemy cavalry, if you want to avoid the bad luck of being defeated by the enemy's iron hoofs, the most effective countermeasure is to follow a certain formation.
Arrange your troops to form a circular closed defense circle - the heavy armored infantry in a semi-crouching position on the outside, the standing shield soldiers slightly inside, and the closely protected crossbow infantry further inside.
All long weapons are pointed outward to resist the impact of the opponent's cavalry, and at the same time our own crossbowmen conduct blocking shots... At this time, the power of the formation is fully revealed (book friends who have watched foreign costume war movies must be familiar with ancient Greece and ancient times).
Roman infantry formations had a profound influence) Ancient Chinese and foreign military strategists had their own unique understanding and application of formations. Even in modern times, when European armies were generally equipped with firearms, didn't they still emphasize the actual use of formations?
? Ancient Chinese battles paid great attention to formations, that is, combat formations, which are called "arrangements." If the formations are arranged correctly, the combat effectiveness of the army can be fully exerted and the enemy can be defeated.
However, before Yun Zheng traveled through time, he always felt that the many formations in ancient China were nonsense and completely false. This view was not changed until after traveling through time and integrating the knowledge of "Yun Zheng". The reason why many people in later generations will think that China
The formations in history are pure nonsense, which is actually a misunderstanding. The real reason for this misunderstanding is that Chinese novels and movies have dramatized ancient formations such as the "One-word Long Snake Formation" and the "Six Ding Liujia Formation".
Well, the "Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation", the "Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation", idiotic director, fake props, unqualified extras, plus a crappy director, the final feeling is just one word: fake!
So it’s no wonder that many people in later generations believe that the battle formations in Chinese history are all fake.
The fact is that battle formations not only exist, but are also very effective in cold weapon warfare.
----------Well, there is one more chapter today, and I estimate that it will be more than 8,000 words every day in the next few days. In this case, brother, I will temporarily change the word count for a single chapter back to 4,000 and then restore it next month.
