Chapter 418: Four Gates Battle
Xiaoding garrisoned Rongbo City, preparing to attack Jiajiang County. However, the scouts sent out came back to report that the city of Najiajiang had suddenly disappeared overnight, and only some large stones and flags were seen in front of the original city.
Xiao Ding thought that the other party might be someone who knew the formation, so he set up a concealment formation and hid Jiajiang City, because when he broke into Xiashan, he had seen the concealment formation that Mu Yiyi used to dodge the giant ape at that time.
So, Xiao Ding's eyes looked in the direction of Mu Hong and Mu Yiyi, but at this time, the two of them did not have any expression on their faces, and they were very calm. Seeing Xiao Ding looking at her, Mu Yiyi blushed slightly and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Xiao Ding took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Mu, what do you think?" Did the other party put up some hidden formation? ”
Mu Hong said unhurriedly: "This is not yet certain, and we need to go to see it in person to know." ”
When Xiao Ding heard this, he felt that what Mu Hong said also made sense, anyway, now that he has recruited a guide, it is better to send troops over directly to take a look.
So he immediately ordered to immediately send troops to Jiajiang City!
Jiajiang City is not far from Rongbo City, a total distance of less than 100 miles, but the mountain road is south, and the army can't go too fast.
Even so, because of the guide's guidance, by the time it was dark, the army had already arrived near Jiajiang City.
When he arrived near Jiajiang City, Xiao Ding came to the front and found that, as the scout said, Jiajiang City at this time had been hidden and could not be seen, and what could be seen now was that in front of the original Jiajiang City, there were many boulders and many flags planted on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ding concluded that 80% of the other party had set up a hidden formation in front of him, and if he rushed over rashly, he would inevitably fall on the road.
At this time, Mu Hong and Mu Yiyi also rode on their horses and looked at the big array in front of them.
After looking at it for a while, Mu Yiyi muttered in his mouth: "Uncle, is this formation a four-gate battle?" ”
Mu Hong beside her nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed the four gates that have fallen into battle!" The four doors are falling, two by two, the four doors echo, if you enter the battle, it is like entering the urn, besieging on all sides, there is death and no life! ”
Xiao Ding didn't understand the formation, listening to the conversation between the two, he was confused, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Mu, since you have recognized this formation, is there a way to crack it?" ”
Without waiting for Mu Hong to reply, Mu Yiyi preemptively said: "That's natural, just four gates are in a desperate battle, and it is difficult for us people from the Misty Cloud Sect to stop." ”
Xiao Ding had heard Mu Yiyi's introduction before, saying that the best thing for the people of Jingzhou Misty Cloud Sect was to crack the formation, although he didn't know what position Mu Hong had in the Misty Cloud Sect, but whether it was to participate in the Yuqing Gate's pill conference, or to come to encircle and suppress Tianluomen, it was Mu Hong's uncle and nephew who came to lead the team, presumably Mu Hong's status in the Misty Cloud Sect must also be one of the best figures. Even if he is not the head, he is estimated to be the second person after the head.
Seeing that Mu Yiyi said so confidently, Xiao Ding's heart also had a bottom. Then he said: "Since Uncle Mu and Miss Mu know how to break the formation, then we don't have to worry, tonight the army will rest for one night, and tomorrow we will arrange to break the formation!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Ding immediately ordered the army to set up camp, prepare to bury the pot and cook, and then rest well.
That night, after dinner, Xiao Ding called Mu Hong and Mu Yiyi to the big tent of the Chinese army, and then asked in detail the essentials of cracking the opponent's formation, so that he could divide the troops and send generals tomorrow.
Mu Hong and Mu Yiyi naturally did not hide it, took a pen and paper, and drew on the paper while pointing out how Xiao Ding should break the formation.
It turned out that these four gates were in a desperate position. There are four formation gates, if you don't know how to break the formation, the army kills into the formation, the soldiers in ambush at the four gates in the town will besiege it, the army will not only encounter an ambush, but also set up a lot of traps, bamboo sticks, mechanisms, etc., as long as you go wrong, you will fall into a desperate situation.
And the key to breaking the formation is to find the eyes of these four desperate formations. That is, the commander-in-chief position in the array. It is usually the position where the opponent's boss stays, and the opponent's boss will use various banners to direct the ambush army in the four ambushes in the formation and which direction to attack.
As long as this formation is killed, it is equivalent to killing the general headquarters of the opponent's large array. The soldiers who were ambushed in the four gates of the formation, and they could not see the command, so they naturally could not find the specific location of the enemy's advance, and they could not achieve an accurate ambush.
At the same time, because there are also a lot of big stones placed in this array, the placement of these big stones is a little peculiar, with the effect of confusing and concealing, and it is also effective for the soldiers in ambush in the formation, so if the other party loses the commander-in-chief, then the soldiers in the ambush are also equivalent to blind people, and they can't figure out the real situation in the formation.
Therefore, if you want to break this formation, you should first kill this formation. Usually the Eye of the Formation will be in the center of the large array, so that the color of the flag waved by the commander at the Eye of the Array can be seen from all sides.
However, it is a very dangerous thing to get close to this formation, because if you don't wait to rush to the center of the opponent's large array, you may have already been discovered by the opponent and fall into the opponent's ambush. Or you can trigger the traps and traps set by the opponent along the way, and fall into it.
Mu Hong's uncle and nephew explained to Xiao Ding in detail the method of breaking the formation, but Xiao Ding was still frowning, although he knew the operating principle of the Four Gates Absolute Formation, but it was even more difficult to break the eye of the opponent's big formation. Even if it is according to the route guided by Mu Hong's uncle and nephew, the trap will not be triggered on the way, but the encirclement of the opponent's ambush army is inevitable. If this is the case, if your own side wants to crack this big array unscathed, I'm afraid it will be unlikely.
Seeing Xiao Ding's frowning, Mu Hong opened his mouth and comforted: "Deputy Marshal Tian, according to the previous report, the defenders in this Jiajiang City are only three or four thousand, if my guess is right, the other party should not have reinforcements to support in a short period of time, so the soldiers in ambush in their array are only three or four thousand, and our army is tens of thousands, as long as you prepare more shields and armor, do a good job of defense, and then enter the formation according to the route I draw, it should not be too difficult to break the formation." ”
Xiao Ding listened to Mu Hong's words and felt that it was very reasonable, his side had an advantage in terms of troops, and if the route was safe, he would not be afraid to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent's army.
That night, Xiao Ding asked Mu Hong's uncle and nephew to draw more than a dozen formation maps, which clearly marked the safe march route from the four gates and the location of the formation eye. Then, prepare to send troops to break the formation the next day
