More than 10 days have passed. Youzhou City suddenly received a battle letter from Shi Guangtong, which said that he had set up a "Nine Army Formation" outside Shunzhou City and invited the Black Feather Army to come tomorrow to watch the battle.

"Is this Shi Guangtong idle in the past two days? Deliberately to find fault? Yu Wenxuan threw the war book on the table and said contemptuously.

"As the old saying goes, it's called three days without a house and a tile." Zhang Shaohua stood in the big tent with his waist and said with a smile, "In my opinion, he still thinks that his soldiers are dying too little." ”

Only Tian Shaotu was not as light as the two of them, he calmly analyzed: "Shi Mu is already good at arranging troops, thinking that this Shi Guangtong must have obtained his father's true inheritance, we have to deal with it carefully." ”

"It's too presumptuous, young apprentice, I don't believe there is a formation you can't break." Yu Wenxuan walked behind Tian Shaotu, put his hands on his shoulders, and said.

"You're always so confident." Tian Shaotu glanced at Yu Wenxuan helplessly, and then said to Zhang Shaohua, "And you, what are you laughing at." I've had a headache with Haoxuan all these years, you said you're about to be a father, why are you still so unstable? ”

"I ......" Zhang Shaohua stared at Tian Shaofu with wide eyes and incredulously, and was speechless for a while, then looked at Yu Wenxuan, and said with a wry smile, "Why did it come to me." ”

Yu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile, "What the Master of the Military Master taught me is that I'll go to the city tower to inspect it." "Before the words fell, the person had slipped away." I'll go too. Zhang Shaohua shouted outside the tent, and then said to Tian Shaotu, "Young apprentice, I'll accompany him." After saying that, he fled from the camp in a panic.

Standing alone, he blinked and asked himself incomprehensibly, "Am I that annoying?" ”

The next day, Yu Wenxuan and Zhang Shaohua were all clothed, led 5,000 cavalry, together with the military division Tian Shaotu, the pioneer Wei Chuan and others out of the city, and went to a plain between Youzhou and Shunzhou to watch Shi Guangtong's formation.

I saw that there were many huge rocks on the plain regularly, and the stone formation was back and forth, looming with Bohai naval soldiers. The shouts of the soldiers in the formation were loud, and the momentum was like a tide, and Shi Guangtong personally appeared on the platform in the center of the formation, holding the red flag and waving it.

"Do you see that?" Tian Shaotu looked at the formation of the Bohai Navy intently and asked.

"I really didn't expect that Shi Guangtong would be able to put out Kong Ming's Eight Array Diagram." Zhang Shaohua couldn't help but praise, and then frowned again and said, "This formation has been lost for many years. ”

The Eight Formations, also known as the Nine Army Formations, were created by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms, to deduce the art of war. It has the characteristics of large array and small array, large camp and small camp, corner hook and hook, zigzag and opposite, inner circle and outer square.

With the four places of Qiankun Xungen, it is the battle of heaven and earth, as a regular soldier. With water, fire, gold and wood as the dragon, tiger, bird and snake four strange formations, as a strange soldier. Together with the Chinese army, there are a total of nine large arrays. The Chinese army consisted of sixteen small formations, and the surrounding eight formations were composed of six small formations each, for a total of sixty-four small formations. In addition, there are still 24 formations deployed in the rear for mobile purposes.

In later generations, there were poems and hymns of "Eight Arrays of Skillful Use of Treasures and Fame into Eight Arrays".

Heavenly Array Praise: Heavenly Array Sixteen, Outer and Inner Circle, Four for the Wind, Its Image Heaven, for the Lord of the Array, for the First of the Soldiers. Make good use of the three armed forces, and their shape is not biased.

Ground Array Praise: Ground Array Twelve, its shape is square, the four corners of the cloud master, it is difficult to rush the enemy, its body is unpredictable, it is infinitely used, it is impossible to be independent, and it is matched with the yang.

Wind Raising Array Praise: The wind has no positive shape, attached to the sky, and becomes a snake, its meaning is gradually mysterious, the wind can drum things, all things are around, the snake can be around, and the three armies are afraid.

Cloud Hanging Array: The cloud is attached to the ground, the beginning is invisible, into a bird, its shape is formed, the bird can be prominent, the cloud can be obscure, ever-changing, the sound of gold leather.

Long Fei Array Praise: Heaven and earth rush back, and the dragon changes into it, with claws and feet, and a back and chest. The latent is unpredictable, the movement is infinite, the formation is impressive, and the name is a dragon.

Bird Soaring Array: The bird will fight, must soar first, the momentum is in the sky, and the birds are hidden. After the trial, there will be slander, one man will assault, and the three armies will not be in charge.

Snake Pan Array Praise: The wind is a snake pan, formed with the sky, surrounded by potential energy, and the performance is bent and stretched. Among the four odds, it is neighbors with tigers, and then it becomes Changshan, and it is trapped from head to end.

The battle array absorbs the characteristics of Jingtian and Taoist Bagua, and is also compatible with astronomy and geography, which can be described as rare and powerful.

And for its infinite power, there are also praises: "The formation between the formations, the teams between the teams; The former is the last, and the latter is the first; There is no fast running, no retreat and no reluctance; Four heads and eight tails, with the first touch; The enemy rushed into it, and both ends were saved; Odd and positive are born together, and the cycle is unprovoked; The beginning and the end are corresponding, and the mystery is unpredictable; Anticipate things like a god, and respond to changes on the spot. ”

"The method of eight formations, in one formation, two formations obey each other, one battle and one defense; Chinese and foreign weight, rigid and soft joints, each other virtual and real, host and guest succession, longitude and latitude changes, because of the base, odd cause of the breakthrough, multi-cause interaction, logistics guarantee. ”

"I remember the fragment of the master's eight array diagrams, but where did this Shi Guangtong's array diagram come from." Yu Wenxuan said that after coming to Dongjiang for so many days, a sad face appeared on his face for the first time.

Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu both shook their heads.

Isn't it just the Eight Array Diagram, you will know how to break it twice, and I have also studied the Five Elements Gossip, no matter how powerful this Shi Guangtong is, I don't believe that he can be Kong Ming's regeneration? Yu Wenxuan tightened the reins in his hand and said in his heart.

After the formation was demonstrated, the red flag in Shi Guangtong's hand waved again, and the big array stopped moving in an instant. He turned off the platform, stepped on the Qingbi Beast, and rode alone towards the Great Zhou army.

Seeing this, Yu Wenxuan and the others glanced at each other, and the three of them rode out of the military formation.

"How is it, how do the three of you feel when you see my Nine Army Formation?" Shi Guangtong asked proudly, to be able to put up such a peerless formation, of course he has the capital of pride.

"It's really good." Tian Shaotu was the first to speak and said sincerely.

Shi Guangtong smiled, and then Zhang Shaohua asked, "This array has been lost for a long time, where did you come from?" ”

"This was obtained from my early travels, and when I got it, the formation diagram was not complete, so I tried to deduce it and completed it by luck." Shi Guangtong smiled.

"Since Tian Junshi said so just now, why don't you make an appointment and come and try it?" Shi Guangtong continued, "I've always heard that the three of them are all masters of the art of war, so I want to challenge them. He continued to follow the good path.

Yu Wenxuan raised his chin and snorted coldly, "So confident? ”

"Just that confident." Shi Guangtong's face did not change, and he looked directly into Yu Wenxuan's eyes without dodging and said.

Yu Wenxuan glanced at Shi Guangtong, "I have seen a lot of eyes like you, and in the end, not all of them have become the souls of my guns." Isn't it just the Eight Array Diagram...... Ah, no, you call it the Nine Formations. It's just a nine-army formation, and if I say it's broken, it's broken. ”

"Well, in three days' time, I will be waiting for your army here." Shi Guangtong looked at Yu Wenxuan from the beginning, and faintly the aura of the two had completed several confrontations.

"Let's go!" Yu Wenxuan's eyes were cold, and he turned away, and Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu immediately rode their horses to follow.

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, the corners of Shi Guangtong's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't leave until they walked away.
