The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 537 Breaking through the Dao Array (4)

It turned out that Kan Lingbai's Modao Formation is an all-weather large formation, unlike ordinary battle formations, the number of troops invested is small, the formation is simple, and it is easy to set up and retreat. When using it, it is formed in the blink of an eye. At that time, he withdrew with a whoosh.

And this Modao formation used a total of 10 horses and took him several years of hard work. When it was formed, it involved an area of ​​more than ten miles. It was a comprehensive battle formation, or a compound battle formation. The basic formations are transformed and derived from each other, which is very complicated. It is no exaggeration to use the aircraft carrier of the formation to describe this large formation, so forming and withdrawing the formation is not an easy task.

Once the 10 horses form an formation, they will be relatively stable there. The 10 horses will fight and live in the large formation, and they will not withdraw until the goal is achieved.But after a long time, these long swordsmen can't stand it anymore. It is impossible to stand there for many hours in a row. They also need to eat, drink, and rest. These factors are divided into day mode and night mode after the formation of the formation. The day mode is the combat mode, and the night mode is the rest mode.

Needless to say, the combat mode, the overall mode is a life mode.When the Modao formation is declared to be in this mode, some of the long swordsmen will continue to form the formation on the periphery of the formation, while the other part will rest and do whatever they want to do, and then they will take turns to form the formation according to the time like standing guards and changing shifts. Rest, but in general the big formation does not fall, but the scale and function are less.

Therefore, when Yang Yong and others were sleeping on the hillside, the Modao formation also entered the night mode. Except for the long swordsmen on duty who continued to form an formation to prevent them from breaking out, the rest of the soldiers should eat and eat. Drink, drink, sleep, it's just that this kind of life scene, Yang Yong and others can't see it, what they see is the situation where the long swordsmen are always in formation.

Of course, outsiders don't know the details of Modao Formation, so Yang Yong and the others felt puzzled.

Of course, Yang Yong doesn't think about these irrelevant things now. Seeing that these enemies no longer come to besiege this small hill, Yang Yong doesn't want to provoke them for the time being, because Yang Yong no longer wants to break out of the encirclement. Simei and others were killed, because yesterday they killed more than 300 people for a long time and couldn't rush away. Now there are only dozens of them left, and it is completely empty talk to want to kill them.We can only wait for the opportunity, and this opportunity is when Xu Maogong brings people to break the formation.In fact, Xu Maogong has already arrived, even yesterday when Yang Yong and the others charged in the formation, Xu Maogong used troops in three directions, but it was of no avail after all, he couldn't rush in at all.

Now Yang Yong and others have to solve the problem of food and clothing, that is, how to survive here.

The most urgent thing they have to solve right now is how to fill their stomachs. This is the most fundamental thing, because they have not touched their lips for more than a day since they left their camp.People are like iron, rice is like steel, if they don’t eat a meal, they will be so hungry, now they haven’t eaten for a few meals, and the consumption is so high, even the arhats made of diamond and steel can’t do it, so Yang Yong and dozens of people are all Hungry.

But trapped in the big formation, what to eat?No one thought of this layer when they entered the battle, and they didn't bring any dry food or water.

However, Yang Yong has a lot of ideas. He has more than 1000 years of knowledge and insight than the generals. He has watched many film and television novels, including scenes of special soldiers surviving in the wild. A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine.

When Yang Yong saw that there were many dead bodies under Qiupo, including the corpses of war horses, Yang Yong had a solution. He ordered his soldiers to bring these dead horses to Qiupo, and assigned them a division of labor. Yes, there are those who peel horses, cut the horse meat into small pieces with a sword, and then tie them and roast them over the fire.Brother Yong did not eat less barbecue before crossing, but he never had roasted horse meat, so today he was forced to try something new.

Order some soldiers to collect horse blood, if there is no bowl, let the soldiers use helmets to catch it.When the soldiers brought several bloody horse blood from helmets to Yang Yong, the four beauties and wives didn't understand what Yang Yong was doing with these dirty things. , What are you doing with these things, they are so dirty, throw them away quickly."

Looking at their chapped lips, Yang Yong smiled lightly and said, "Wife, are you thirsty? If you are thirsty, drink it."

"Ah? My lord, isn't it? This, this thing can...can be drunk?" The four beauties almost vomited when they heard this, and even these dozens of soldiers stared wide-eyed, because they had never seen a drink. The man with horse blood looked at Yang Yong like an alien.

"Yes, of course I can drink it. Horse blood is a good thing. You don't understand this. Horse blood is rich in minerals, which can not only supplement the various nutrients needed by the human body, including salt, but also quench thirst and replenish water. , this stuff is so good, it’s a great tonic that’s hard to buy!” Yang Yong picked up a helmet filled with horse blood and drank half of it.

Then he wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with his battle robe, nodded and said, "Well, it tastes really good, you all should try it too!"

The people present, including Simei, were stupefied with shock, as if they didn't know Yang Yong for a while, a prince who is usually high and high, eats everything, delicacies of mountains and seas, mountains of meat and wine, but now he drinks this kind of food like water thing?Is he a man or a ghost?

In fact, Yang Yong is also drinking this stuff for the first time. The reason why he can drink it today is because of the form. Is it horse blood?The second is that before crossing, he was born as a poor child. He has suffered all kinds of hardships and suffered all kinds of crimes. Even after crossing over, he has also experienced hardships. The soldiers had eaten grass together, and the horse blood in front of them was much stronger than eating grass.The third is that as a prince, he should set an example for everyone, especially his four beautiful wives, in times of crisis. Otherwise, whoever can't drink it will be the ones who will suffer in the end.

Therefore, Yang Yong held his breath and drank so much horse blood in one breath, but he did feel much more comfortable after drinking it.

But these dozens of people still couldn't drink it. Finally, under the order of Yang Yong, these soldiers closed their eyes and drank a few mouthfuls. But none of Yang Yong's four beautiful wives could drink it, and even saw it. Nausea.

Yang Yong didn't force them when he saw it.At this time, the horse meat was roasted and exuded a unique aroma. Everyone shared a large piece, and Yang Yong, four beautiful wives and dozens of soldiers ate with relish.

After eating the horse meat, they felt even thirstier. At this time, Yang Yong and dozens of soldiers had already tasted the sweetness. They consciously took up their helmets and took turns drinking horse blood. The comfort of satiety.

Only the four beautiful wives still couldn't enjoy it, so they had to endure it, but the taste of hunger was not good, and the taste of thirst was even more difficult.For three days in a row, the Wu army did not besiege them. Yang Yong and other dozens of people killed the horses, drank their blood, and ate their meat to maintain their strength.

But the four beautiful wives finally couldn't take it anymore. They were so thirsty that smoke came out of their throats, and some of them couldn't defecate. Water is the source of life, and it is impossible to do without water.This time Yang Yong didn't need to bother, the four beauties wives consciously picked up the horse's blood and drank it. After they finished drinking, they knew what it means to be difficult at the beginning.

At this moment, Yang Yong didn't speak, but quietly watched the four beauties drinking horse blood in turn, drinking it so naturally and consciously, and drinking it with so much taste, he grinned.

"My lord, are you making fun of us?" Seeing Yang Yong's expression, Li Wan'er pursed her lips in displeasure.

Yang Yong shook his head and smiled: "No, Wan'er, I am happy for you. Remember, life is the most important thing. In times of crisis, only by finding a way to survive can there be hope for everything. And at this time, the most difficult thing to overcome is often Not a powerful enemy, but yourselves, now that you have finally defeated yourself, this king is really happy for you!"
