Su'er said: "General Arsalan!" Arsalan bowed and responded: "嗻!" He was as respectful as he was obeying the orders of General Sanbeile. Su'er continued: "Everyone from Lord Beile down to me will start to memorize my footwork. Within an hour, anyone who can't remember will be killed!" Arsalan raised the scimitar awarded by Three Beile and responded loudly. : "嗻!"
Su'er handed the piece of paper in his hand to Arsalan and ordered it to be distributed to all the soldiers. The soldiers took it in their hands and saw that the paper was the same as the ice, with black circles, but the paper was drawn smaller. On the side are rows of numbers, which read: two straight, five on the left, three on the front, four on the right, one diagonally, six backward...and so on.
Su'er led a group of warriors to recite loudly with the help of the soldiers who had mastered Chinese characters. When the recitation was clear, they dispersed and each went to concentrate on memorizing. Sanbeile and Alsalanju both devoted themselves to memorizing the footwork.
Look at how an hour has passed. Suer ordered Arsalan to gather the soldiers and recite them aloud one by one.
Sanbeile said: "General Shangguan, can you please let me recite it first to set an example for the sergeants." Su'er said: "Okay!" Sanbeile stood in front of the line and recited aloud: "Straight two, left five, Three in front and four on the right, one diagonally and six backwards, four straight and three on the left, five on the right and two straight..."
All the sergeants listened to Sanbeile's eloquent talk without any hesitation, and he memorized every word in one breath.
After reciting the Three Belles, Su'er said, "I'm sure I've memorized it. Raise your hand and take a look."
Su'er saw dozens of people raising their hands one after another, knowing that they were all people with good memories, so he called out to the queue, and there were fifty people who tried it one by one. He also asked Arsalan to check that all the soldiers had memorized it by heart.
Su'er divided the soldiers with the best memories into seven teams, and then divided the remaining soldiers into seven teams. The last seven teams were led by the first seven teams, and the formation was completed.
Su'er led everyone to a high place on the shore, leaving Jin Yubei standing alone on the black side of the ice.
Seeing the soldiers standing still, Su'er shouted: "Watch the footwork!" Then he raised his hand to greet Jin Yubei.
When Jin Yubei saw Su'er waving on the ice in the river, he started slowly, took two steps forward, and then walked five steps to the left, a total of seven steps. He went around from a black circle to the front of the next black circle. , stop motionless.
Su'er said loudly: "Did you see it? This is 'straight two, left, five'!" Raising his hand again, Jin Yubei raised his foot and took three steps forward, four steps to the right, another seven steps, and happened to be From the circle behind you go to the front of the right front circle. Su Er said: "This is 'straight three, right four'!"
Sanbeile, Arsalan and all the soldiers suddenly realized this. It turns out that the footwork just mentioned is to get around these dark circles. Everyone had doubts again, and just going around like this, it was better to run straight over and have lunch. If Ula's soldiers were pressing forward, how could he still be able to circle in such a leisurely manner?
But seeing Arsalan at the front of the team with a stern face and a sword in his hand, with the "Shangguan General" military order in front of him, no one dared to slack off for a moment. They all stared at Jin Yubei's feet, concentrated on remembering it, and secretly kept it in their hearts. Check the recorded steps.
"One diagonally, six backwards, four straight, three left, five right, two straight..." Su Er instructed each step one by one. Su Er saw that all the soldiers could understand clearly.
After Su'er gave the instructions, Jin Yubei walked out of the carbon black formation.
Su'er turned to Arsalan and said: "General, lead seven groups of soldiers onto the ice. They will all walk across the black area in front of them according to the recorded footwork, and then walk back with the same footwork, regardless of their speed. Remember, anyone who comes back with carbon black on his boots will be shot without mercy!"
Arsalan loudly announced the military order again, and all the soldiers led the troops down to the ice. Everyone started walking carefully, "straight two, left, five," "straight, three, right, four." After passing the strange needle on the ice, I turned around again and returned to the shore.
Su'er inspected everyone's military boots, but there was no one with black marks on them. He also said: "Now everyone goes to the ice and walks back and forth five times according to the footwork. Anyone with black military boots will be shot without mercy!"
The soldiers returned to the ice and started walking again and again. Later on, I became more familiar with it. The first seven soldiers with good memories can already run according to footwork. When all the soldiers have completed five round trips, the soldier with a good memory has completed seven round trips.
Su'er gathered the soldiers on the shore and ordered: "If you have to walk back and forth one more time, you must come back within eight hundred numbers. Anyone who cannot come back within eight hundred numbers will be killed without mercy!"
All the soldiers concentrated on going down to the ice, and all returned within eight hundred. Su'er gradually reduced the number, and finally the soldiers were able to make one round trip within four hundred. Su Er then ordered the sergeant to rest.
Sanbeile, Jin Yubei, and Su'er returned to the tent. Sanbeile finally couldn't help but ask: "Brothers and sisters, what is the magic use of the soldiers walking in this black formation like this?" Su'er He smiled and said: "Brother, please collect and recommend me tomorrow afternoon. We will see the outcome.
While they were talking, someone came to report that the troops led by the three Baylors had arrived at the Tumen River in northeastern Korea. The Great Khan had also sent a letter to Korea. In four days, the three Baylors and the generals would be able to lead the troops. The horsemen arrived on the other side of the Tumen River due east.
After hearing this, Su Er said: "In other words, Buzentai will be here in three days. Well, good, it's just the right time."
Jin Yubei said: "Brother, Buzentai has many soldiers, so we must prevent him from dividing his troops and setting up a siege." After saying this, they looked at Su'er. They both understood, and both remembered Buzantai's plan to set up a series of ambushes a few days ago.
Sanbeile said: "What brother said is absolutely true. However, if he divides his troops and I have fewer troops, what should I do?"
Su'er said: "He will divide his troops into several groups and cross the river from the upper and lower areas. He will set up several more sentinels to the north here. All Ula soldiers and horses will be led here, and then Let's lure him to the river to make plans." Sanbeile said, "Okay, that's the idea!"
While the three of them were discussing, Arsalan reported that Sibeile Huang Taiji had written to North Korea and had returned to Tugu Mountain.
After a moment, a voice outside the tent was heard: "Fifth brother, I'm back." Sanbeile said loudly: "Eighth brother, come in." The tent was opened, and a young general entered the tent with his head held high. Huang Tai Chi.
Huang Taiji was suddenly startled when he saw Jin Yubei and Su'er sitting there. He pressed the handle of the knife and his face immediately darkened.
Sanbeile said: "Eighth brother, you came back just in time. Just now the sentinel came to report that my uncle and brother have arrived at Tumen Village. A few days ago, we found out that Buzentai was going to set up an ambush at Tugu Pass, so I led the troops. Here, we intend to intercept him. However, we are afraid that many of Buzan Tai's soldiers will split up and advance. You can lead your three hundred men down the river from here and go north to Guangzhao Village to carefully observe the movements of the Ula people. Whenever the enemy comes, they will be killed. Bring them all here, and we will fight him in the river together. Remember not to fight alone. After the battle, you must lose but not win. You must lure him here."
Huang Taiji replied: "Easy to say." He looked around, as if he was looking for someone. After reading it, he asked: "Fifth brother, where is An Ning?" San Beile said: "An Ning has traveled all the way and is resting." Huang Taiji said to San Beile: "Since the military situation is urgent, I will immediately lead the troops to the east to search for Buzentai. Traces."
