Chapter 867: Seventy-two Formations of Heavenly Gate

Pang Tong smiled proudly and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this formation created by the ministers is called the Tianmen Array!" ”

Tianmen Array!

Liu Bei's expression was even more surprised, what kind of Tianmen Array was this, he had never heard of it, and he didn't know where the subtlety was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, when he saw that Zhuge and the two were full of confidence, he guessed that this formation must be extremely powerful, and then his confidence increased greatly, and he said happily: "Okay, I believe in the strength of the two of you, from tomorrow onwards, Shi Yuan will set up this Tianmen array, and I will give you as many soldiers and horses as you want." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will use this array to severely damage the morale of the pottery thief army, in order to avenge his humiliation back then." Pang Tong received the order with great emotion, and he was calm and confident, as if the victory or defeat had been expected by him.

At that moment, Liu Bei issued a holy decree and allocated tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Pang Tong, and ordered him to practice the formation day and night.

For seven days, Pang Tong taught the Han soldiers, carefully practiced the formation, seven days later, the soldiers were familiar with the drill, Liu Bei wrote a battle book by himself, sent people to Wei Ying, to challenge the pottery merchants.

……

Wei Ying, the imperial tent.

At sunset, the war letter from the Han camp was already in the hands of the potter.

It was a challenge book with an extremely arrogant tone, full of provocation and contempt.

In that battle book, Liu Bei arrogantly declared that he would not only kill Tian Dan, but also kill all those loyal to the pottery merchant, and eventually the pottery merchant would be broken into ten thousand pieces.

After his words were arrogant, Liu Bei arrogantly said that he wanted to humiliate the potters before killing the potters and leveling the Wei State, and asked him if he had the courage to come and break the formation.

"Liu Bei's tone, when did he become so arrogant, it seems that he now thinks he is strong, and finally shows his true face, but unfortunately, this agitation is too clumsy." On the face of the pottery merchant's heroic warrior, a sarcastic sneer was raised, and the war book in his hand was shown to the ministers.

When the ministers read Liu Bei's war book, they were all furious, and there was an indignant scolding in the big tent.

"Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, dares to speak like this, Your Majesty, let the minister break the formation, the minister must humiliate the big-eared thief!" Ma Chao was the first to stand up and indignantly ask for battle.

Since Ma Yunlu married a pottery merchant and the Ma family became a relative of the Great Wei Empire, Ma Chao did his best in every battle, and seemed to regard the fate of the Ma family and the Tao family was already tightly tied together, fighting for the pottery merchant was to fight for his own Ma family.

Xiang Yu also said angrily: "Liu Bei was broken by us the gossip array before, he didn't have enough lessons, and he still wanted to fight with us, he really didn't know what to do, and he was willing to lead the army to break the formation and raise the prestige of our country." ”

The rest of the generals Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, Xu Huang and other generals were also indignant one by one, scrambling to be the first to fight.

"Liu Banxian, what do you think?" The potter suppressed his anger and looked at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji stammered: "Liu Bei's move is nothing more than to win through the battle formation, to hit the morale of our army, and boost the morale of our army, if we don't accept his challenge, we will be regarded as feared by the enemy, and it is in Liu Bei's arms." Moreover, our current strategy is to delay time, and Liu Bei took the initiative to propose a fighting formation, didn't he give us a chance. ”

The pottery merchant nodded slightly, quite agreeable, and said: "In this way, you Liu Banxian are also in favor of the battle formation, you are familiar with astronomy and geography, and you should also know the formation well." ”

This time, Liu Ji was not so confident, and said with a wry smile: "It's really not ...... It's unfortunate that it's not very good to be subordinate to the way of the formation...... Intensive research. ”

Tao Shangjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, he didn't expect Liu Ji to also have a weakness, if you want to talk about this fighting array, it is naturally Zhang Liang's housekeeping ability, and it was Zhang Liang who saw through Zhuge Liang's eight sealing arrays.

However, at the moment, Zhang Liang is in the area of the annexed state, assisting Wei Qing and Li Mu to recover and merge the five northern counties, and he can't pull away for a moment, and it seems unrealistic to rely on Zhang Liang to break the formation.

After pondering for a while, the potter patted the case and said happily: "What do you want to do so much, tomorrow I will talk about the big-eared thief for a while, I want to see what great formation he can put up." ”

……

Next.

When the sky was bright, I heard the direction of Zhending City in the north, the gongs and drums were noisy, shaking the heavens and the earth.

A moment later, the scout rushed to report, saying that nearly 10,000 Han soldiers had set up a huge array in front of the south gate of Zhending.

"Liu Bei, you can't wait to perform for me......" The potter sneered, and then ordered all the troops to assemble and break the camp.

Half an hour later, the pottery merchant had led an army of nearly 50,000 cavalry, out of the camp to look north, and the soldiers were on the front line of the south gate of Zhending City.

Looking into the distance, I saw that a huge array had been arranged, covering an area of several miles, shaped like a gossip disk, with flags flying like a tide inside, and the soldiers were full of swords and guns, as dense as a forest.

The potter observed carefully, but saw that this huge array was composed of sub-arrays, each of which was different, and slowly rotated around the high platform in the array, changing from time to time.

"This array, how does it look a bit like the Bagua Array......" the potter muttered, and the scene of Zhang Liang breaking Zhuge Liang's Bagua Array that day came to mind.

"No, this is not gossip...... Spell. Liu Ji shook his head, and his tone became excited, "Although the minister is not proficient in the formation, but he is also a little familiar, this array looks like there are traces of the gossip array, and there is the appearance of the Tiangang Earth Evil Array, the minister thinks that this array should be the Bagua Array and the Tiangang Earth Evil Array melted together, creating a new formation." ”

"Heaven and Earth?" When the potter heard this unheard of name, surprise suddenly appeared on Yingwu's face.

The military generals on the left and right are also novel.

At this time, Chen Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I heard that there is a great hermit in Jingzhou, named Sima Hui, this person not only has the wisdom of the heavens and latitudes, but also is proficient in the extreme of Qimen Dunjia, Wolong Zhuge Liang and Fengxiao Pang Tong, are the disciples of this person. ”

Hearing the famous name of Sima Hui, the potter couldn't help but move, and quickly recalled this unborn figure in his mind.

The history books don't have much ink on this person, but it is recorded that he recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and pointed out the name of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, which aroused Liu Bei's curiosity and finally contributed to the Sangu Thatched House.

And when Liu Bei wanted to invite Sima Hui out of the mountain, this person said that he was an idler in the mountains and wilderness, and he didn't care about the world, but only wanted to live in seclusion.

Then the question arises, since he is an idler in the mountains and wilderness, and he has no quarrel with the world, why do he want to promote his own disciples to come out, stir up the storm, and affect the entire historical process.

This Sima Hui gives people the feeling that he is only nominally ignorant of the world, but in fact, in the name of seclusion, he quietly hides behind the scenes, secretly influencing and stirring up the situation in the world.

Just when the pottery merchant was thinking, Chen Ping continued: "The minister also heard that this Sima Hui is also proficient in the formation, especially the Bagua Array and the Tiangang Earth Evil Formation, the two magical formations, it is said that he taught these two exquisite formations to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong respectively, and this Pang Tong has defected to Liu Bei for many years, but he did not expect him to join forces with Zhuge Liang to fuse the two wonderful formations taught by Sima Hui together to create the array in front of him. ”

I see.

The potter understood now, it turned out that this was Mr. Shuijing's two high-ranking apprentices, who joined hands to create such a huge array, and wanted to show off in front of him.

These formations or something, strategists like Liu Ji can understand it, not to mention Han Xin Leyi, as for Xiang Yu Luo Cheng and other generals, they can understand it more or less, only Wei Chigong, who doesn't know a single big word, is confused, and he doesn't know what they are talking about.

At that moment, he became impatient, and shouted: "What gossip array nine trigram array, what Tiangang or Tiansoft array, no matter what kind of bird formation he is, Your Majesty, you give me thousands of elite soldiers, and I will stab him in a few clicks to the ghost array of the big-eared thief!" ”

The potter gave him a blank look and ignored him.

"Brother Wei Chi, don't underestimate this formation, there is a mystery in it, you don't know how to break the formation, just rush in, you won't even know how to die." Qin Qiong persuaded from the side.

"Ouch, what you said is so scary, isn't it just a broken formation, is it so godly." Wei Chigong flattened his mouth disdainfully, "I said Qin Fu, aren't you afraid?" ”

“……”

The two of them seem to be born brothers, and they can fight at this time, and they can't help but instigate the civil and military people on the left and right, but it also eases the solemn atmosphere a little.

The potter shook his head and smiled helplessly, his eyes looked at the huge array again, and he secretly thought: "Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are not fuel-efficient lamps, I think this combined giant array, even if Zhang Liang is here, he may not have a full grasp of breaking the formation, and the situation is really a little tricky......"

Just when the potter was thinking, the opposite Han array rode out of the dust, and rode straight to the formation of his own army.

When the Han rider came with a messenger, the potter ordered that no arrows should be released in the whole army, and that he should be allowed to come near.

The enemy rode closer, and the person who came was a fat and meaty Han general, with a wild and arrogant atmosphere.

The man ran fifty steps away, reined in his war horse, and shouted proudly in a thick voice: "I am An Lushan, the general of the Han Dynasty, and I have come to ask Emperor Wei on behalf of the Son of Heaven of my family, but I have the courage to break through the seventy-two formations of our Heavenly Gate!" ”

An Lushan!

Hearing that the enemy reported to his home, the potter's expression moved slightly, and then the corners of his mouth raised a meaningful sneer, and he snorted coldly: "An Lushan, have you finally shown up, it seems that you, a backbone-fighting boy, really defected to Liu Bei, very good, very good." ”

As soon as the smile was closed, the potter took a light breath and said proudly: "An Lushan, you go back and tell Liu Bei that since he doesn't have a long memory, I will teach him a good lesson." ”

The pottery merchant was disrespectful, and An Lushan, who listened to it, was quite annoyed, but he was afraid of being so close to the Wei Array, and he didn't dare to be too impulsive, so he held his breath, snorted coldly, and galloped back.

"Liu Banxian, do you know how to break through the seventy-two formations of this Heavenly Gate?" The potter looked at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji frowned, looked at the enemy formation carefully for a long time, and then smiled bitterly with a wry smile: "This Tianmen seventy-two array, there are both gossip changes and Zhou Tian star changes, it is too revenge, and the ability of the minister can only understand part of it, and it can't be completely seen through." ”

"Part of it is part of it, no matter whether it can be broken today or not, it can't lose the military might and courage of my Great Wei, so I have to try it anyway!"

The potter's expression was resolute, he looked back at the generals, and asked, "Who dares to break the formation?" ”

As soon as the order came out, the fierce generals with extraordinary martial arts such as Xiang Yuma Chaoluo Cheng under his command generously asked for battle, and they were all willing to fight to the death.

"Xiang Yu, I ordered you to lead a thousand elite horsemen to break the enemy formation for me." The potter's eyes finally fell on Xiang Yu, the strongest general of the Great Wei Martial Dao.

In fact, the potter himself is not sure of winning the battle, but for the morale of the army, he naturally has to give it a try, even if he loses in the end.

It's okay to lose, but if you break the formation and fold the general in the formation, it will be in Liu Bei's arms, and the gains outweigh the losses.

That's why the potter chose Xiang Yu, even if he failed to break the formation, Xiang Yu could also rely on the super martial arts of the junior martial saint to forcibly kill out of the formation.

"The minister commands." Xiang Yu did not have a trace of ambiguity, and accepted the order.

At that moment, the potter mobilized elite soldiers and horses, and asked Liu Ji to tell Xiang Yu everything he knew about the seventy-two formations of the Tianmen Formation.

Xiang Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, digesting what Liu Ji said.

After a while, Xiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, what Lord Liu said, the minister has written it down, please ask Your Majesty's quasi-ministers to go out to break the battle." ”

"Go ahead." The potter flicked his hand, but then admonished: "This time you break the formation, mainly to temptation, if there is any disadvantage, withdraw immediately, and do not take the enemy lightly." ”

"The minister should remember His Majesty's instructions, and the minister will go." Xiang Yu arched his hand, turned his horse around, and walked away like the wind.

The dust rose up, and Xiang Yu shot out like golden lightning, leading a thousand cavalry elites and heading straight for the huge array.

The pottery merchant's sword eyebrows were like blades, and his eagle eyes shot directly at the enemy formation, and he said coldly in his mouth: "Liu Bei, let me see how strong this Tianmen Seventy-two Formation created by your Wolong and Phoenix Chicks is really strong." ”
