Chapter 101 Mountain Plum Blossom Formation

This exercise actually has great limitations. Feng Li was allowed to do all his strength. The prince of the East Palace led the left and right Si Yu, and the prince of the East Palace led the left Guard of the East Palace to lead more than 16,000 troops in total. In fact, more than half of them were killed in the battle, and nearly one-third were captured by Chen Ying.

At the end of the exercise, Feng Li and the generals of the East Palace were like eggplants beaten by frost. These situations were already expected by Chen Ying, so he calmly said to the generals: "On the plains, in the field, your approach is not wrong. But in the mountains, the battle cannot be fought like this. You should be better, line up in dense lines and line up to attack up the mountain to save trouble. The archers do not need to aim at them. Even women and children who will be afraid of killing chickens with kitchen knives can raise a stone to smash you down."

Feng Li was completely convinced. When Chen Ying was guarding the mountain, he was shuddering. Now he still feels scared when he thinks about it.

He ordered the four Zhechong Mansions of the Yousi Yusu to launch an attack from the valley in the east. However, the formation had just unfolded, but the snow on the mountain suddenly swept down. Survived this just as it was acting. The soldiers of the Yousi Yusu were just soaked in snow, making them in a mess. Afterwards, Feng Li realized that Chen Ying sprinkled salt on the snow. The snow that was originally frozen as hard as iron melted and loosened, forming a very small avalanche.

If the experience of Yusu Yusu of the Right Si was just that they could not have thought that it would be acceptable without any preparation, then the five Zhefu led by the Left Guard were defeated. They had just climbed halfway up the mountain, but the three regiments led by the Prince of the East Palace were like tigers going down the mountain. With just one rushed forward, they beat the Right Guard to pieces. Most of the soldiers were beaten up hard, and then tied them up with ropes and frozen in the snow for half an hour.

The left guards of the East Palace were actually basically the same as those of the right guards. Due to the narrow mountain road, even the team could not be expanded. Chen Ying adapted the right guards into a mixed-style method. The far-reaching crossbow shot (remove the arrows, stained with white dust, and white spots to determine casualties) and the nearest attacks were used to raid, especially the left guards' sound raid. The team of only 300 people was extended to six or seven hundred steps. When encountering more than a dozen raids led by the right guards, the sprinting team with basically no melee combat effectiveness was defeated in just a quarter of an hour. In the narrow space of the mountain, the mixed combination of gangs was used to beat the left guards without any temper.

Feng Li didn't know the news that the left guard led the entire army to be wiped out, but the result was good. The right guard was defeated, and Feng Li ordered the retreat and rest. As a result, Chen Ying asked the soldiers led by the right guard to pretend to be the left guard and easily entered Feng Li's camp and captured all the people below Feng Li.

The army is a place where strength is emphasized. Chen Ying defeated the left and right people with less and defeated the left and right people and left guards. Now all the generals have no temper and are convinced by Chen Ying. The most important thing is that if Wang Shichong's defenders at Hangu Pass also use this method, they will lead 18 Zhechong's mansions in four directions, and even if they fight all of them, they will not have the chance to win Hangu Pass.

Feng Li still needs some shame. Since he lost, he can afford to lose. He is ready to accept Chen Ying's most severe punishment and even prepares to voluntarily resign, but Chen Ying is like a person who is fine and does not mention this at all. This makes Feng Li nervous and moved.

Feng Li can take it and put it down. Chen Ying has already given him a face. If he doesn't show any politeness, he will be alive to a dog for more than 30 years.

"I wonder how to fight this battle in General Chen's opinion?" Feng Li had a very good attitude and placed it completely on Chen Ying's subordinate, rather than relying on his seniority.

Chen Ying said loudly: "Wars in the army are not fighting with rangers. They pay attention to mutual cooperation. The middle base soldiers defend in front, and the shooting students are responsible for suppressing and covering, the soldiers come forward to suppress and oppress, and the troops are close to each other. The team is used as a tactical unit, and five gangs form two fronts and two backs, and one gang is in the center to support the maneuver, like a plum blossom, spreading quickly. The gangs and gangs, teams, brigades and brigades, and the regiments must cooperate closely, be flexible and maneuverable, encounter resistance in front, and shoot long and close attacks. The offense must be decisive and decisive..."

Just as Chen Ying was teaching the principles of mountain tactics and cooperation methods to the generals of the East Palace, a man with a fake beard on his face and a head lowered, quietly whispered to the two fat and thin prisoners beside him: "Hurry, write it down!"

The fat captain took out a small porcelain bottle and pulled it out, while the thin captain quickly took a thin pen and recorded it on the paper.

If Chen Ying saw this bearded captain clearly, he would definitely find that he still knew this person. This person was none other than Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was appointed by Li Yuan as the Minister of the Xingtai Shangtai by Shaanxi East Road, and was also the Grand Marshal of the Military Affairs Department. Qu Tutong, the Minister of War, was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo Pushe, the Secretary of the East Road, and the Deputy Marshal of the Left Commander of the Military Affairs Department, and the guest of the East Palace. The champion general Chen Ying was the Secretary of the Xingtai Shangtai You Pushe, and also served as the Deputy Marshal of the Right Commander of the Military Affairs Department of the East Road.

Although the official imperial edict did not make it clear, Li Shimin had already received a definite letter. At this time, Li Shimin suddenly received news that Li Jiancheng led the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the East Palace, which was equivalent to four-fifths of the East Palace's military strength (the general organization of the left and right Qing Dao of the East Palace was composed of three Zhechong Mansions each, with a total force of 7,200 people. However, in fact, there were only four Zhechong Mansions in the left and right Qing Dao of the East Palace, which was less than 5,000 people.) He handed over to Chen Ying and asked Chen Ying to train.

Three days ago, Li Shimin received news that Chen Ying brought more than 20,000 troops led by the left and right guards and left and right guards to Zijin Mountain for training. Li Shimin then took Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and Duan Zhixuan to sneak out of Chang'an City and arrived at the foot of Zijin Mountain.

Li Shimin had already bought people from the various armies of the East Palace, so even Chen Ying didn't know that Li Shimin had already sneaked into the East Palace army and participated in this unique exercise throughout the whole process.

In fact, this exercise that lasted only two days and one night opened Li Shimin's eyes, and of course the most shock was the most. Li Shimin knew very well that if he had the same force, his performance might not be much better than Feng Li. Obviously, Feng Li lost very badly.

Du Ruhui recorded what Chen Ying said on paper, and Li Shimin also listened with relish.

Of course, while Chen Ying introduced, he ordered a brigade led by the Prince of the East Palace, the Right Guard, to conduct a drill of the plum blossom formation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Right Guards' understanding of mountain combat is still half a bottle. Their movements are quite unfamiliar and even a little clumsy. As the saying goes, laymen are lively and experts are obedient, but Li Shimin saw something different.

Although the movements were awkward when practicing, it gradually became smoother.

While directing the drill, Chen Ying introduced to the generals: "It is right to fight bravery, but bravery is not suicide. As a general, the general must predict the worst situation, think of and find a reasonable way to fight in a mountainous environment, the most common ambush is the layout of plum blossoms. The plum blossoms in the middle are the most effective ways to prevent the trap. If you look carefully, the tactical formation like plum blossoms, no matter which direction the ambush is launched, it can form an effective defense or counterattack in the shortest time..."
