Chapter 8: The Bagua Array
Chen Wu led the army to fight Deng Ai and Yang Fu, and Deng Ai's front men and horses met Chen Wu's army, and the melee was fought for a while, and the two armies suffered casualties among each other.
Zhuge Dan said to Chen Wu: "I am an old friend with Deng Ainai. Deng Ai has been well versed in the art of war since he was a child and is good at geography. Today, the troops have arrived, and they are quite a fierce enemy. ”
Chen Wu said disdainfully: "The king side by side can defeat Deng Ai, but I can't?" When the other army is coming from afar, I will let him stop and strike him. ”
Chen Wu then left Zhuge Dan to lead the army to Xiazhai, and ordered Zhang Hu to lead troops to meet Lu Qian, and Chen Wu to lead troops to meet Deng Ai. After marching less than five miles, suddenly a cannon rang out from the southeast, the drums shook the ground, and the flames soared into the sky.
When Chen Wu looked at the horse, he saw that the Wei soldiers were all around. Chen Wu was shocked: "Zhong Deng Ai's plan! ”
Chen Wu then ordered Quan Cong and Zhang Bao to lead their troops to retreat. So the new Han soldiers retreated to fifteen miles northeast of Xuchang. After Chen Wu personally broke off, he only heard the drums behind him, and when Chen Wu retreated to Zhuge Dazhai, he knew that there were more than 20 fire drums of the Wei army, all of which were set up by Deng Ai.
Chen Wuzheng was worried, and suddenly reported that Liu Du sent Wen to hire troops to help. Wen Ping and Chen Wu went out of the village to observe the terrain, Wen Ping pointed to a mountain near Xuchang City: "This mountain is called Ziyun Mountain, you can go up and down this mountain to resist the Wei cavalry." ”
Chen Wu listened to Wen Ping's words, so he ordered the army to look at Ziyun Mountain and march to the valley mouth. At this time, Deng Ai had already arrived in Xuchang City and joined forces with Sima Fu and Xu Zhen.
Suddenly, the Malay newspaper said that the new Han soldiers were now stationed at the mouth of the Ziyun Valley. Deng Ai heard this, so he and Sima Fu climbed to see it, and returned to the village to raise the account, Sima Fu was overjoyed and said: "Help our army this day!" ”
Deng Ai was puzzled, it turned out that Sima Fu had already inspected the veins of Funiu Mountain before Chen Wu led the army to attack Xuchang, and Sima Fu had already ordered the soldiers to dig a tunnel and go straight from Xuchang City to Ziyun Mountain. When the New Han soldiers arrived, the Wei army suddenly appeared in the rear of the New Han army from the tunnel.
At this time, Chen Wu went to the valley mouth to divide into three villages, and Sima Fu's tunnel was in the left village, which was the place where Wang Han and Jiang Bin went down to the village. Deng Ai asked Lu Qian and Xu Zhen to lead 10,000 soldiers each, and attacked the Xinhan army camp left and right, Deng Ai ordered Zheng Lun, the deputy general, to lead 500 diggers, and in the second watch that night, he went straight from the tunnel to the left camp of the Xinhan army, and rushed out of the underground behind the camp tent.
However, it was said that Wang Han and Jiang Bin were worried that the Wei soldiers would come to rob the village because they had not yet taken a good village, so they did not dare to disarm and rest. Suddenly, when he heard that the Chinese army was in chaos, and hurriedly took his weapons and mounted his horse, Lu Qian led troops to kill him outside Dazhai. Attacking inside and outside, Wang Han and Jiang Bin fought to the death to resist the enemy and abandoned the village.
Chen Wu heard the shouting in the left village in the tent, and expected that the Wei army had internal and external soldiers, so he hurriedly took the halberd and mounted the horse to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and ordered: "If there is a reckless move, behead!" Then an enemy soldier came to the camp, and Hugh wanted to ask him, but shoot him with muskets and bows. ”
Chen Wu instructed the right battalion on the one hand, and the soldiers were not allowed to move rashly. Sure enough, the Wei soldiers attacked more than ten times, but they were all shot back by the Xinhan soldiers. only rushed to kill until dawn, and the Wei soldiers did not dare to kill in.
Deng Ai collected his troops and returned to the village, and sighed: "I heard that Chen Wu obtained the art of war of the overlord because of his adventure, and now I see it in person, and I believe it!" The soldiers are not frightened at night, they will not be chaotic when they hear the changes, and they are really talented! ”
The next day, Wang Han and Jiang Bin gathered the defeated soldiers and knelt in front of Dazhai to plead guilty. Chen Wu waved his hand to let the two of them get up: "It's not your sin, it's because I don't know the leyline." ”
Chen Wu also allocated military horses to the second general and ordered him to set up camp. Chen Wu ordered the soldiers to fill the wounded and dead bodies in the tunnels and bury them with soil. Chen Wu asked Deng Ai to come to Japan to fight, and Deng Ai readily agreed.
Deng Ai knew that Chen Wu practiced the art of war, and learned Xiang Yu's set of rushing combat style and his watertight battle formation fighting style, Deng Ai decided to only use his own direct 30,000 troops to face Chen Wu head-on, and the rest of the generals were to fight on the side and block the outer way out of the New Han Army on the mountain, because the Yongliang soldiers led by Deng Ai and the Central Plains soldiers led by Lu Qian and other generals were not only easy to cooperate with problems, but also could not resist the powerful impact of the New Han Army like a tiger on the mountain.
Chen Wu's super personal force, as well as the firearms of the New Han Army, coupled with the fact that he was in a high place, once he was forced to fight in a trapped beast, his power was enough to crush Deng Ai's army of more than 100,000.
Deng Ai divided the army of more than 100,000 into three parts: one part was personally led and directly challenged Chen Wu; One was led by the general Lu Qian and ambushed on the left; One route was led by the general Xu Zhen and ambushed on the right.
In addition to Deng Ai's more than 100,000 troops, Yang Fu also took thousands of foot soldiers as the rear army, and the two reserves of Sima Fu and Cao Ying were arranged at the end. The Wei army is concentrated, strong in front and weak in the rear, the two wings are flexible, the opening and closing are moderate, the attack and defense are free, and the three-layer echelon is deployed in depth, which can be called a flawless battle formation.
In addition, these three major armies also have their own multiple echelons, layer upon layer, dense and leaky.
Chen Wu's combat impact power, even Han Xuan had to be afraid of three points. Deng Ai arranged a defensive battle formation with a long and deep multi-echelon defense formation for Chen Wu, a brave general, to guard against the straight-line impact of the New Han army from the mountain.
The battle started as scheduled, the earth-shattering war drums sounded, more than 100,000 Wei troops under the leadership of Deng Ai launched a fierce attack on the new Han army on the mountain, Chen Wu was not afraid at all, and Quan Cong led 8,000 sons of Wudang army to rush into the Wei army battle formation, more than 50,000 new Han troops on the mountain followed, morale like a rainbow, straight towards Deng Ai to kill the general.
At this moment, Deng Ai saw Chen Wu's true power. Chen Wu, who has slashed countless famous generals, often wins more with less, and now he can be said to be the pinnacle of military generals in this world. As soon as Chen Wu rode in front, he easily disrupted Deng Ai's front army formation, and the eight thousand Wudang troops followed, all of them bravely moved forward, showing the bravery of the Lujiang men, and more than 50,000 New Han troops charged down from the mountain together, even if Deng Ai's troops were three times that of Chen Wu, they began to worry about being defeated by Chen Wu.
Fortunately, the battle formation arranged by Deng Ai is not an ordinary battle formation, but it is not so easy to be defeated, because it is broken layer after layer, layer upon layer, and multi-line formation, which is the best way to deal with Chen Wu's sky-high might.
The Deng Ai main array is according to the Bagua array, according to the shape of heaven, earth, wind, clouds, birds, snakes, dragons, and tigers, and the distribution has been determined. Chen Wuce rode his horse and slaughtered through the formation, and saw Deng Ai's front and right in front and right, as if there was a portal.
Chen Wu held his halberd and shouted: "You want to arrange the gossip array, but you don't know how to break the formation long ago when the king of the side side tells me!" ”
Deng Ai said with a smile: "Since I know how to set up a formation, don't I know how to change the formation!" ”
Deng Elema turned back into the formation and ordered the executive to wave the flag left and right, turning it into eight eight sixty-four portals.
Deng Ai sneered: "Chen Wu, even if your strength is unparalleled in the world, you will be trapped and die in this formation today!" ”
Chen Wu called his son Chen Xiu and said: "Xiu'er, what you are holding is the overlord divine soldier, and the overlord spear that breaks the formation can be restrained no matter what the formation. Do you dare to lead your troops to charge the Bagua Array? ”
Chen Xiu made a move of his gun, and two thousand white-robed cavalry rushed over: "Why don't you dare!" ”
Chen Xiu led the white-robed army into the Bagua Array with a gun, and Deng Ai was dispatched by the Chinese army. Chen Xiu clashed in the formation, and the formation never moved. Chen Wu went to the Wudang army and made a move to break the city halberd of the Heavenly Dragon, and suddenly lined up as a "Changjiao Roll Array".
Chen Wu led the Wudang army to maintain the formation and advanced over, Chen Wu and Chen Xiu were like two overlords, impacting the Bagua Array inside and outside. After a while, Deng Ai was trapped in his heart, and the shouts from all sides were shocked.
Deng Ai didn't know that Chen Wu could also set up a formation, and he had never seen this formation, so he was shocked. The new Han soldiers are gradually approaching, and Deng Ai will not be able to clash with the crowd.
I only heard the Xinhan soldiers shouting: "Deng Ai descends early!" ”
Deng Ai looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am self-defeating for a while, and Chen Wu is trapped!" ”
