Xiping City.
News of the great victory at Maling has already come. All the soldiers of the Xiliang Army and the West Route Army are excited, and they are all gearing up and full of fighting spirit.
With the same military strength, facing the 100,000 foreign cavalry, the Lord achieved such a great victory, but what about them? Except for Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who fought an ambush and defeated the troops of Yuchi Liang, the king of Khotan, there was no action. They were anxious!
The generals took turns going to the commander's tent to request a battle, but the commander-in-chief Li Yan was unable to do anything.
Xianbei King Budugen and Xiqiang King Midang were as cunning as foxes and had absolutely superior troops, but they did not take the initiative to attack, but formed a defensive formation to confront the Han army inside and outside Xiping City.
Especially after the news of Zuo Xian King Liu Bao's defeat came, he even reduced his troops. Originally they planned to divide their troops to attack Guzang and Zhangye, but now more than 90,000 troops and horses are simply stationed together, divided into three camps on the left, middle and right to support each other.
Li Yan¡¯s total strength is less than 60,000, and they are basically infantry. If he goes out of the city to fight in the field, what chance does he have of winning? But if Bu Dugen and Mi don't attack the city, he really has nothing to do.
Generals kept coming to ask for battle. Li Yan wanted to discuss with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang had recently locked himself in his room and refused to leave.
On this day, Li Yan finally persuaded Pang De and other generals to return to the camp. He was sitting at the desk, thinking hard, when Jiang Wei suddenly ran in.
"General, the military advisor is here"
"What, Kong Ming, Kong Ming is here, hurry up, please" Li Yan was very excited when he heard that Zhuge Liang was coming.
During this period, he went to see Zhuge Liang almost every day, but Zhuge Liang locked himself in the study. No matter who went there, they would be blocked by the book boy.
"Kong Ming, you're finally here!" Seeing Zhuge Liang enter the commander's tent, Li Yan's frown spread. Zhuge Liang has been staying behind closed doors these days. He naturally understood that Zhuge Liang was thinking of countermeasures, "I have been forced to death by all the soldiers. , Kong Ming, do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"It's been a lot of hard work these days!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and took out a piece of paper, "This is the eight-array diagram I researched. Take a look."
"The Eight Formations" After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Li Yan's face was full of doubts. He had been familiar with military books and strategies since he was a child, and had seen many formations, but he had never heard of the Eight Formations.
Zhuge Liang did not explain, but spread the piece of paper flat on the handsome case. Li Yan and Jiang Wei watched at the same time.
I saw the expressions on their faces, first puzzled, then shocked, and finally deep admiration.
"Kong Ming, these eight formations evolved from the eight-door golden lock formation?" Li Yan finally looked away from Shuai An.
"Zhengfang is indeed very knowledgeable. This is the improved Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation!"
Li Yan once studied the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, and Cao Ren, the former general of Cao Wei, was very proficient in it, but his formation was broken by Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu.
The eight gates refer to the eight gates in this formation: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. If you attack from the Shengmen, Jingmen, or Kaimenmen, both sides will be evenly matched; if you attack from the Shangmen, Jingmen, or Xiumen, you will be very passive, and even if you finally get out, you will suffer heavy casualties; and if you attack from the Dumen or Death Gate, you will be very passive. If you rush in, no matter how many troops you have or how strong your combat power is, your entire army will eventually be annihilated.
"Kong Ming, the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation can only be truly trapped in the formation if you enter from the Du Gate and the Death Gate. But I found that no matter which gate of the eight gates, even the Sheng Gate, the Jing Gate, and the Kaimen Gate, are full of With mysteries and variables, there are really traps and killing opportunities everywhere!"
"Zhengfang is right. Xu Yuanzhi and I have studied the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation in the past. Although this formation is profound, it is not difficult to break if you encounter someone who is proficient in the formation. Even if you don't understand the formation and hit it by mistake, As long as you don't enter the Dumen or Death Gate, the outcome is unpredictable. As for the eight formations I changed, all eight gates are alive and can evolve into each other!"
"Are the eight gates alive?" Li Yan was shocked after hearing this, "Kong Ming means that this gate of life can also become a gate of death?"
"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and nodded.
"That's great!" Li Yan has turned from shock to excitement, "With the eight formations, we can finally have a decisive battle with Xianbei and Xiqiang out of the city!"
Infantry and cavalry have no advantage at all in field battles, but if they use formations, it is completely different. What's more, these eight formation diagrams are endlessly mysterious. As long as the cavalry breaks into the formation, they will be like headless flies, bumping around and eventually being annihilated.
"Military advisor, the enemy has many troops and horses. If they all attack from the eight gates, no matter how they evolve, they will always be defeated."?There are soldiers and horses all the way opening the door, Jingmen or Shengmen! "Suddenly, Jiang Wei frowned and said.
"This" After hearing Jiang Wei's words, Li Yan's expression suddenly changed. He had not thought about this problem just now because of his excitement. Now when Jiang Wei said it, he immediately realized it. The foreigners are all brave people, so naturally they cannot see through this formation, but if there are many of them, they will indeed attack in one go! Eight gates attack at the same time, what should we do?
"Ha" Zhuge Liang chuckled a few times, "Bo Yue is right, Bu Dugen and Midang will indeed attack from the eight gates at the same time. I have been staying behind closed doors these days, just thinking about solutions. "
"So, Kong Ming has already figured out a countermeasure!" Li Yan became very excited after hearing Zhuge Liang's words.
"That's right, Zhengfang, Bo Yue, please take a look, in this formation" Zhuge Liang pointed to the eight formations and said.
"Military advisor, is there another formation in this formation?" This time, Jiang Wei was the first to discover another mystery of the eight formations diagram.
"The name of this formation is called a long snake with an inverted tendril. If the enemy forces enter the eight formations from the eight gates at the same time, the long snake with tendrils will wrap around the two branches entering from the open gate and the raw gate. Soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses in the formation, after rapid evolution, will transform Ximen and Jing into Dumen and Death Gate. If we ignore the enemies who hurt the gate and startle the gate for the time being, the enemy army will naturally be defeated."
"The enemy troops are all cavalry. Can this long inverted tendril of a snake wrap around the two enemy troops that enter from the Shengmen and Kaimen?"
"The foreign cavalry is so powerful that ordinary soldiers can't be entangled, but don't forget, we also have a tiger and wolf division!"
"Kong Ming is talking about Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's cavalry!"
"Exactly!"
Although the foreign cavalry is powerful, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty is not only an elite soldier who has fought many battles, but their equipment far exceeds that of the enemy. It is indeed easy to entangle two enemy armies by using formations.
"Okay, I will send a message to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao Feige right now, asking them to return to Xiping City!"
Cavalry is not conducive to defense, so after Zhao Yun and Ma Chao defeated the army of Yuchi Liang, King of Khotan, they have been renovating the counties around Xiping County, looking for fighter opportunities.
¡°Since we are going to have a decisive battle, we should also bring back Zhangye and Guzang¡¯s armies!¡±
"Okay, I'll give the order now!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
