You Chu has been the Taishou of Longxi for a long time, and he knows the situation in Longxi very well, and he can see it more clearly than Hao Zhao, so he hurriedly persuaded him, "It's urgent!" The general should draw it early. ”

"You really can't keep it?"

Hao Zhao asked hesitantly.

There are only more than 50,000 people on the opposite side, and he has 20,000 Xiliang Jing horses in his hands, and he has a city to rely on, so he is extremely unwilling to retreat so easily.

Seeing that Hao Zhao still had the intention of sticking to Xiangwu, You Chu was anxious, "General, it has been four months since Shu was captured in Long, and now the soldiers in Guanzhong have not been seen, and Zhuge Liang has led the army here, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Central Plains have been blocked in the east of Longshan and cannot come." ”

"Now there are no reinforcements from outside, if the back road is cut off again, then Xiangwu will become a lonely city, and the lonely city is really undefensible! Moreover, Xiangwu City is small, and it has not rained in Longxi for a long time, even if Shu Yu does not cut off Weishui, after ten days and a half months, Weishui will also cut off by itself. ”

"When the city is small, just drinking water is a problem, Shu Lu only needs to besiege but not attack, the city is in chaos, how should the general defend it?"

When Hao Zhao heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

looked at the river mud that had turned gray-white, and then suddenly came to his senses, "You Tai's good words are like golden sound and jade vibration." ”

Then he asked tentatively, "But now that there are thieves on three sides of Xiangwu, if you abandon the city and leave, who will stop you?" ”

"A certain is too guarded in Longxi, and there is the responsibility of defending the city, the general goes first, and a certain is the general after the break. Although he is not talented, he thinks that he will keep it for a few days, so there is no problem. ”

You Chu said angrily.

Although he knew that saying these words at such a time would arouse Hao Zhao's suspicions, You Chu admitted that he had a clear conscience, even if he did his last effort for Dawei in the end.

Sure enough, Hao Zhao looked at it with some suspicion, but when the back road was about to be cut off, he had no better way.

I saw Hao Zhao take a deep look at You Chu, "You Tai's loyalty is really admirable." ”

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and saluted You Chu again, "The lives of the 20,000 soldiers in Liangzhou are all paid to You Taishou, if they can return to the township, it will be the grace of You Taishou's life, and they have thanked them for a certain generation." ”

You Chu hurriedly helped Hao Zhao up, and his voice was like a Hong Zhong, "I also work for Dawei, how can I thank you or not?" Time is running out, General Hao still went back early to prepare. ”

The retreat of more than 10,000 people, especially when there is still an enemy ahead, is not just a matter of leaving.

When Hao Zhao returned to the city, he first ordered the sergeant to pack up and wait for a full meal tomorrow morning before setting off.

At the same time, You Chu also began to inspect various places in Xiangwu to prepare for the upcoming offensive and defensive battles.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Gongsun Zheng, who joined the army in Longyou, ran over to find You Chu, "Zhong Yun, listen to the soldiers guarding the West Gate, the Liangzhou Ma Army has already left the city before dawn and headed west, an hour earlier than the agreed time." ”

You Chu was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly, "Got it." ”

Gongsun Zheng said angrily, "This Hao Zhaoming just doesn't believe us......"

"Okay, Boyan, he doesn't believe us, that's his business, and when he leaves, that's his business. All we have to do now is how to defend the city. Now that the Liangzhou soldiers have left, the rest can only rely on ourselves. ”

When Gongsun Zheng heard this, he looked left and right, and then said in a low voice, "Zhong Yun really wants to defend Xiangwu to the death?" ”

"Since I have promised to defend the city, how can I be such a man of unfaithful words?"

You Chu's voice was not loud, but it was extremely resolute, "Besides, as the Taishou of Longxi, it is already a dereliction of duty not to be able to defend the border and the people, is it possible to surrender without a fight?" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Gongsun Zheng, "Boyan, I know what you are thinking. In fact, I also know that Xiangwu can't be kept for a long time, but there are always some things in the world, even if I know that I can't do it, I have to do it. ”

"In order to prevent the people in the city from being angry after the Shu captives break the city, Bo Yan, I want to entrust you with a ......"

Before Gongsun Zheng could say anything, he directly interrupted him, "Don't even think about it!" Zhong Yun, defending the city for three days is enough to be worthy of Hao Zhao. ”

"If we hold Shu Lu outside the city for three days, and he can't escape, then it's not my fault. I was in Nanxiang, and I had heard that Zhuge Liang ruled Shu, attached importance to the law, and had many actions to care for the people. ”

"Zhong Yun, you stick to Xiangwu, but you are abiding by your own duties, why is it too much? Zhuge Liang will definitely not be angry with you because of this. ”

"And the Han State claims to be orthodox in the world, plus if they want to win the hearts of the people of Longyou, how can they slaughter the city? Isn't this a cruelty to your own people? ”

"So I only have to defend the city for three days, if the city is broken within three days, we will fight to the death and not surrender, and we will not eat the wealth of this Wei country in vain. If the city is still there after three days, then you can open the door and descend to Shu. ”

"It is enough to live up to the emperor's grace, to be worthy of Hao Zhao, and to protect the people in the city!"

When You Chu heard this, he was silent.

Gongsun Zheng saw You Chu's appearance and knew that he still couldn't pass this hurdle in his heart, so he immediately shouted loudly, "You Zhongyun, if you really want to be a loyal minister of Wei, I won't stop you." ”

"But before that, can you think about it for the people of Xiangwu? They believe in you, entrust their wealth and life to you, and are willing to defend the city with you. ”

"If it is because of your thoughts, knowing that the lonely city cannot be defended and forcibly defending it, so you anger Shu Lu, you will die an easy death, but have you ever thought that how many people in Xiangwu will be affected?"

Gongsun Zheng's words made You Chu wake up, only to see that his face was ashamed, and Huo Ran got up, "Boyan is right, I am too selfish." ”

You Chu in the city was in full swing to defend the city, and Hao Zhao outside the city rushed all the way to the west.

As soon as he led his men and horses away from Xiangwu for twenty miles, he met a messenger sent by Jincheng Taishou to meet him.

It turned out that he had already sent someone out of the city yesterday and informed Jincheng Taishou in advance to get ready.

However, the messenger who answered also brought him a piece of news: as soon as it was dawn, the Shu Lu on the opposite side had begun to attack.

Hao Zhao knew that this was Shu Yu anxiously trying to trap himself in Xiangwu.

He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged his troops to join Jincheng Taishou as soon as possible.

Ten miles ahead, the Chinese character flag was erected high, and the sound of whining horns resounded far and near.

The Wei army on the south bank had already died in formation and was ready for battle.

Yesterday's battle, although it was a temptation, still made the Wei army feel the strength of the Han army.

Now the Han army is still raising its shield in front and spears and halberds in the back, forcing it over the south bank step by step, slowly advancing.

The bald-haired elite horsemen had spread out to the wings, showing their superb riding and archery skills.

"Raise your shield!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw arrows flying over from the sky.

Bang!

Cha! Cha! Cha!

Xianbei can become the overlord of the grassland, naturally it is not in vain, there are always tricky arrows and feathers that pass through the protection and shoot the Han army.

All of a sudden, someone fell down screaming.

Zhuge Liang, who was standing on the high platform, had a calm face, and behind him, stood Feng Yong and Jiang Wei.

As soon as the Han army set foot on the land on the southern bank, the cavalry of the Wei army began to charge head-on.

"The so-called Eight Formations Diagram is only improved on the basis of the Eight Formations."

Zhuge Liangliang opened his mouth, pointed ahead, and said, "It separates, rests, lives, injuries, Du, Jing, death, and shocks, and the most basic eight formations are the same strength on all eight sides, no matter where the thieves come from, they will see the same lineup." ”

Feng Yong touched his chin, "So in fact, these eight gates are actually eight directions?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at him, and then continued, "On these eight gates, with heaven, earth, people, gods and other elephants, such as this horse army, it can be regarded as a god if it acts like the wind. ”

"Like this shieldman, he is a guard of the elephant, which is a ...... of the earth."

"In other words, these eight formations are actually different combinations of troops?"

Feng Yong said suddenly.

Jiang Wei glanced at Feng Yong invisibly.

The Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty took a deep breath and tried not to look at Feng Yong, "The most basic Eight Formations diagram is the Eight Doors with the Elephants, only by memorizing the basic formations first, can we further change the formation according to the enemy situation." ”

"The thieves we are facing today are mainly horse troops, and we need to be equipped with more spears and halberds......"

Before the words fell, I saw that the Wei army had already rushed to the front of the battle.

The coach did not give an order, and the soldiers on the front line began to stand and fight according to their usual training.

The smoke and dust rose and the shouts started, Feng Yong couldn't see it very clearly, and immediately silently took out the binoculars, and the battle situation in front of him was clearly reflected in his eyes.

I saw that the formation suddenly fluctuated like a wave, and the Wei army's fierce charge was like a punch on cotton.

Divide, surround, devour......

The Wei army, which rushed into the formation, immediately felt that there were enemy troops everywhere, and countless spears and halberds continued to poke at the front and back, left and right, and people turned their horses on their backs.

"Yikes!" Feng Yong exclaimed, "So powerful!" ”

If Lao Tzu could learn this trick, plus the Mo Dao team and the heavy crossbow, would he have fought so hard in the street pavilion at the beginning?

Zhuge Liang really couldn't help it: this kid hasn't stopped talking from the beginning!

He turned his head and was about to reprimand, when he saw Feng Yong holding a cylinder and didn't know what he was doing, and he was even more angry at the moment, "What are you doing in the battle of life and death before the battle?" ”

The prime minister is kindly teaching you the military formation, what kind of attitude do you have?

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty suddenly lost his temper, which made Feng Yong tremble, "In...... Looking at the military ......"

"Dare to quibble!"

"No, Prime Minister, this thing can observe the enemy situation more clearly, I don't believe you try!"

Feng Yong saw the prime minister's face full of anger, and hurriedly handed over the binoculars.

Zhuge Liang saw that Feng Yong's expression did not seem to be fake, so he took it in disbelief, and put the telescope in front of him in front of him in imitation, only to see that the scene in the distance was suddenly pulled to his eyes.

His hands trembled in fright, and he quickly put down the telescope, almost smashing the telescope on the high platform.

After stabilizing his mood, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty raised the telescope again, this time he was mentally prepared, and there was no gaffe.

Not only did he not lose his temper, but he even lost his mind for a moment: not only the battle in front of the battle could be seen clearly, but even the trees on the mountains farther away were extremely clear.

This discovery made Zhuge Liang feel like he had discovered a new continent, holding the telescope tightly in his hand, and the first thought that flashed through his heart was: Where did this artifact come from?

The second thought was: This kind of artifact is simply born for the Eight Array Diagram!

With it, the Eight Array Diagram is even more like a finger, once the thief makes a move, he can detect it in time and make an effective response!

I saw that he suddenly gave a few military orders, and then the Chinese army drums sounded, all kinds of flags swayed, and the formation changed again.

This time, the second wave of the Wei army's assault failed to even make a splash, and it was directly wiped out.

The Han army had already begun to slowly ascend to the south bank.

At the same time, the shuai tai also moved.

When Hao Zhao arrived, what he saw was that the Han army had actually gained a foothold on the south bank, and the follow-up troops were constantly following.

Whether it was frontal or flanked, whether it was a breezer charge or a ranger flank projectile, the odd formation was like a spinning and rolling ball, slow but unstoppable towards the south.

Hao Zhao's timely arrival allowed the Wei army on the south bank to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But they soon found that Hao Zhao's arrival did not make the situation any better.

Hao Zhao took over the battlefield, but only slightly stopped the advance of the Han army.

No matter what he does, the other party can detect it early and wait in the right place early.

This made Hao Zhao feel like he was tied up, as if his feet were stuck in the mud, he couldn't run if he wanted to, he couldn't walk fast, and there was always a force pulling him.

On this side, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was reluctant to put down the telescope, and the speed of giving orders was much faster.

The continuous military orders were conveyed, and the Eight Formations were brought to life as if they had life, and they came to life all of a sudden.

The prime minister was no longer in the mood to explain the military formation to Feng Yong and Jiang Wei, and Feng Yong had no choice but to prick up his ears and listen to the military orders issued by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, while squinting his eyes at the continuous change of the eight array diagrams.

Although there are only eight directions in these eight formations, the combination of troops in each direction must be adjusted according to the actual situation.

And each direction is a small formation at the same time, and the cooperation between each direction also requires the coach to respond in a timely manner.

Coupled with the various changes in the formation, according to Feng Yong's estimate, if you want to play with this, at least the operation ability of the sixteenth thread starts.

For a handicapped party like Feng Tuqiu, it is simply daunting.

Brain: Oh, I know how it works.

Eye: Oh, I can see the change.

Hand: MP, come on!

That's basically the case.

When Feng Tujiao saw Jiang Wei's thoughtful expression on his face, he was even more envious and jealous in his heart.

"Withdraw!"

After losing more than 3,000 people, Hao Zhao knew that he could not fight any further.

This is not because of too many losses to force him to stop, after all, the cavalry still has an advantage over the infantry, although the opponent's formation is very powerful, but because it has to continue to advance, so it can always find an opportunity to kill and injure Shu.

So far, the losses of the two sides are actually not much different.

What he was worried about was that Xiangwu would lose at any time, and if the Shu captives behind caught up, then the loss of his soldiers would only be greater, and there was even a risk of annihilation.

"General, the thousands of horse troops of Shu have not moved, if we retreat like this, I am afraid that the loss will be not small."

Kaneshiro Taishou said urgently.

"No matter how big the loss is, it is not as big as the total annihilation!"

Hao Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

The first time he fought against Zhuge Liang, he led 15,000 people against the opponent's 50,000 people, and there was nothing to say if he lost.

This time, I thought that the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and most of them were horse troops, and most of them were foot soldiers on the opposite side, so they should have an advantage.

If you can defeat the opponent, then it is the best, if not, at least you can force the opponent back to the north shore.

I didn't expect things to turn out more than I expected.

Not only is the formation on the other side weird, but he can even see through what he is thinking, as if there is a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, which makes him creepy.
