Chapter 1041 The First Warship
Shen Shan and Shen Qingxiao arrived in Chenzhou on the third day. Shen Qingqian handed the matters over to them and then went out with Ling Yun.
As soon as she left, Shengze was dragged to the Chenzhou camp by Liang Cheng.
"Come on, Your Highness, please tell me in detail what that Six Flower Formation is. I asked these guys, but they all don't know anything. They only know when to go to which position."
When ambushing King Zhao, Xuyang sent people to ask for help, but when Liang Cheng arrived, Xuyang and his men were already clearing the battlefield.
He was extremely surprised at the time. You know, the Shadow Guards are purely infantry. Even if they are strong individually, they will definitely be at a disadvantage against cavalry.
As a result, not only did they not suffer any serious loss, but they also killed all of King Zhao's 3,000 elite soldiers, killed King Zhao, and captured the prince of Zhao alive.
It was such a big deal, he had to find out how they did it.
Sheng Ze was really at a loss for words. He immediately ordered his men to set up a small six-flower formation and let Liang Cheng send people to attack. He himself sat in the center of the army and commanded the troops personally. After the two sides had a fight, Liang Cheng finally understood a little.
He himself is a general, and a general with real skills. Let alone the things he has never seen before, after seeing how this formation works, he naturally can see through everything.
"Wonderful! This formation can change according to the situation, it's flexible and changeable, and it can continuously cut the enemy's battle formation, taking both offense and defense into consideration." Liang Cheng walked around the Liuhua Formation, looking at it and admiring it.
Sheng Ze nodded, "This is derived from the Bagua formation."
Liang Cheng knew about the Bagua Formation, as it was recorded in ancient books. However, the formation was too large and complicated. Not to mention the difficulty in gathering enough people to form the formation, the coordination and training between the various arms within the formation alone would require at least five to eight years.
This Six Flower Formation looks much simpler. The best part is that, although it is simpler, it still retains all the killing and defense capabilities of the Eight Diagrams Formation.
"Your Highness is truly a remarkable man. He was able to come up with this kind of formation. It will be much easier for us to counterattack the imperial court in the future." Liang Cheng said excitedly.
Although the imperial court had various problems, it had a real military force of 800,000. Excluding those guarding various places, there were a total of 500,000 troops available to participate in the war at the same time.
Even if the Hubei Northern Army integrated the six northwestern states, after deducting the necessary defense personnel, the number of troops that could be mobilized would be less than 300,000.
This is the total military strength. If we further subdivide the troops, judging from the number of people alone, it is really impossible to fight against the imperial court.
But now it’s different. With the Six Flower Formation, as long as they intensify their training, the infantry will not be afraid of encountering the imperial cavalry in the future. The only thing they need to focus on is the navy.
Sheng Ze didn't know what Liang Cheng was thinking. He was concerned about another question at this moment. "Uncle Cheng, how is the progress of the warship over there, Mr. Qin?"
Although Shen Qingqian had the formation plate in his hand, he still had to make preparations for both situations, and the navy must be prepared.
"The first warship was almost completed before we came out. It might be ready and waiting to be launched now." Liang Cheng estimated.
As he was speaking, a soldier came to report that Old Qin had arrived.
"General," said Old Qin, who was always in a rush. He came over and called Liang Cheng. Just as he finished calling, he found Sheng Ze there. "It's great that His Highness is there too. Let's go and watch the warship's sea trial together."
This kind of thing could have been done by just sending someone to notify them, but Old Qin was very excited because this was the first warship he had led in building.
