After Zhang Ji and others discussed, they hung up the battle card, Tongguan was too steep, and Zhao Xu didn't want to attack, just concentrated on preparing his siege method, and sent generals to call the battle, in order to wear down the morale of the soldiers on the Tongguan City, but the coalition army just couldn't hold out, and the two armies confronted each other, and there was nothing to do for more than ten days.

One day after breakfast, Zhao Xu was about to send generals to Tongguan City to call for battle, but he faintly heard a drum sound from the direction of Tongguan, and the shouting was shocking. What's going on? …… Zhao Xu was taken aback and wondered. At this time, I saw a report from Tanmalay: "General Qiyu, tens of thousands of troops have walked out of Tongguan and are in battle under the city."

"What? Come out, good fellow, I'm afraid that he won't come out, quickly report to the whole army, and prepare for war. ”

"No!"

Zhao Xu laughed heartily at the moment, anyway, the siege equipment was not ready, and now he dared to come out to fight, just to kill the boring time of the soldiers, as expected, Zhang Xiu really couldn't persuade Zhang Ji, but the result was the same, don't worry.

As soon as the military order was given, the subordinate scouts began to report to the whole army, and after a while, all the civil and military personnel gathered in Zhao Xushuai's tent. When they heard about the situation in Tongguan, the generals were all enthusiastic and high-spirited, and the confrontation lasted for more than half a month, and the generals were suffocated.

Zhao Xu pointed out how to get out of the battle on the sand table, and after saying it briefly, he led everyone to lead the army out of the gate, and put on a formation of five tigers and sheep, with pikemen in front, and sword and shield hands, bowmen and crossbowmen in the back, etc., in an orderly manner; As soon as the five tigers and sheep came out, from a distance, it was the V-shaped same type that symbolized victory, and it had an advantage in momentum as soon as it appeared. Zhao Xu was in the middle, surrounded by the generals, holding a brocade car, looking in the direction of Tongguan to see what kind of fame was being done on the opposite side.

But seeing the sound of drums on the city of Tongguan, the continuous soldiers walked out of the city gate one after another. Is this kind of formation a decisive battle? Hum! It seems that this Zhang Ji still doesn't give up! In this case, see what tricks you have, even if you use it, I Zhao Xu will parry.

Zhang Ji, Yang Ang and others are in the city, and they are discussing with themselves.

"General Yang, have you practiced this formation?" Zhang Ji asked uneasily.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the young general is not talented, this formation is proficient in more than a dozen kinds, and now he has been fully trained, even if he Zhao Xu is strong and general, it is not so easy to break the formation." Yang Ang said confidently.

"Uncle! You see, Zhao Xu seems to have lined up the formation. Zhang Xiu shouted.

Everyone looked down at the city, and suddenly saw that Zhao Xu's troops were arranged in an orderly manner, closely arranged, and from a distance, they saw an elite army. "That's ...... Five Tigers and Sheep Formation? Yang Ang exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing that Yang Ang was taken aback, Zhang Ji couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "General Yang, this formation is very powerful?" ”

Yang Ang was stunned and said, "Oh! It's okay, I just didn't expect Zhao Xu to put on such a big formation, this formation is an offensive formation, and it already has an advantage in momentum before fighting, it seems that Zhao Xu also has a capable person on his side! But adults can rest assured, no matter how they set up, the youngsters have their own way to crack it. ”

"Oh! That's good! Zhang Ji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At that moment, Zhang Ji and Yang Ang led the generals to go down to the city and command the formation.

I saw two teams of cavalry out of the pass on the left and right with the momentum of the two dragons out of the water, holding shields and spears, and after walking out, the left and right were like bird wings.

In the middle of the cavalry came a phalanx of black spear infantry, followed by sword and shield men, sword and axe men, and then on the two flanks were crossbowmen, which seemed to be used to shoot at the formation and prevent the cavalry from attacking in a roundabout way. Looking at it from a distance, if you count it slightly, there are more than 10,000 people.

With a formation of tens of thousands of people, it seems that the opponent is not an ordinary person, it seems that there are some doorways! No wonder I can't hold on for so long, no wonder it's to prepare the formation, hum! But in vain. Zhao Xu looked at the vast array in front of him, but he hummed with disdain in his heart.

"Putting on such a big formation, it seems that you are prepared! The enemy isn't going to fight, is it? Seeing that the opponent was in good formation, Fa Zheng said with a solemn face.

"Obviously, it seems that the enemy army is a hard opponent but we can't, so they want to use the formation to win! Look at this formation, there are also capable people among the enemy! Jia Xu said with a smile.

Zhao Xu is vague about this ancient formation, although he has some understanding, but he will only have some simple formations, if it is more difficult, he will not use it, alas! Knowing this, we should have seen more of these ancient formations in future generations. Therefore, the formations on his side were all taught to Jia Xu and Fa Zheng. Zhao Xu couldn't see it very clearly, and asked, "Wenhe, what kind of formation are they arranging, can you see it?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, his face moved, and he said with some excitement: "This is the crane wing formation, and if you can put out such a formation, it seems that the other party has a general with high tactical command ability." This crane wing array, as the name suggests, the front two wings open and close freely, flexible and flexible, can be used to copy both sides of the enemy, and can work together to flank the enemy who breaks into the middle of the formation. It's a powerful formation! ”

At this time, I saw a team of majestic cavalry walking out of the gate of Tongguan, and the four cavalry in front of each held a big flag, and each wrote in turn: "Zhang", "Yang", "Zhang", "Yang" four big characters! As a group of generals walked out, the first few people were Zhang Ji, Yang Ang and others.

"Zhao Xu, General Zhao is here? Yang Ang asked General Zhao to answer before the battle! At this time, I saw that Yang Ang rushed out to the front of the battle and shouted loudly.

Yang Ang? Isn't it the guy who indirectly killed Zhang Lu's general Yang Ren? Does this guy have any skills? Zhao Xu was disdainful in his heart, slapped his horse out of the battle, and shouted: "Oh! It turned out to be General Yang, and he dared to ask the general what was the matter with summoning a certain person out, didn't he want to fight me alone! ”

This man is so rude that he dares to despise me! Yang Ang barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Call General Zhao out today, I just want to compare the formation with General Zhao, and if I want to come to General Zhao's fame all over the world, I won't refuse!" ”

Zhao Xu heard that Yang Ang's words were thorny, and he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Fighting array? That's good! General Ben is also trying to show some tricks, I don't know how General Yang wants to fight? ”

"Hehe, this fighting array is very simple, and it can't be put on the table, that is, you and I will agree on a time, I will set up a big formation, and ask the general to break the formation. If our formation is broken, Lord Zhang Ji promises to be willing to sacrifice Tongguan; If the general can't break it, the general can collect the troops and go back, and vow not to commit Guanzhong again! I wonder if the general dares to respond? ”

This is obviously a loss, Zhao Xu is not stupid, how can he not know, but with Jia Xu here, Zhao Xu does not have to worry, so why not fight. He nodded and said, "Yes! It's okay, but you have to change the method, and make an appointment, you will set up the formation first, and I will break the formation; Regardless of whether I win or lose, then replace me in formation, otherwise you will break it, and if I lose twice, I will withdraw my army, and vice versa. It shouldn't be too long, why don't you just agree on forty days? ”

"Hmm...... This one? Yang Ang couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't expect Zhao Xu to propose such a method, in this way, if there is a win and a loss, wouldn't it be in vain, thinking for a while, Yang Ang held that he was proficient in the formation, and he might not lose, and said: "Okay!" As the general said. ”

Although it is inevitable that the formation will be broken, it will inevitably lose troops and generals, but it is much less than the siege, and now it has to be like this, Zhao Xu said at the moment: "Since this is the case, then there will be less nonsense, and it depends on the general's formation." ”

Yang Ang nodded and said, "General Zhao is really a refreshing person, okay, let's look at a certain formation first!" ”

"Please!"

After speaking, the two urged the horse to return to their own formation, and after Yang Ang went back, he told Zhang Ji about it, and Zhang Ji had no other choice, so the risk was smaller, and he didn't say anything.

The formation has already been set, just waiting for Zhao Xu to break the formation. "Hmmm! Crane Wing Array! Wenhe, filial piety, I am not proficient in this method of breaking the formation, and I will leave it all to the two of you. Zhao Xu said to Jia Xu and Fa Zheng with a smile.

Looking at Zhao Xu's relaxed appearance, he was obviously ready to throw this all over to the two of them, but the two of them were helpless and sighed. "Okay! Leave it to the two of you! ”

Jia Xu said very easily, obviously confident, Zhao Xu saw it, and was very happy, with Jia Xu here, he also saved a lot of brainpower. If you want to say that the strategists of the Three Kingdoms can line up the people, Zhuge Liang is the most famous, and the eight formations have been famous for thousands of years, and this time I didn't bring Zhuge Liang, and I regret it, oh! There is also a Xu Shu, who is also a good player, not much worse than Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang. Zhao Xu also didn't expect the enemy to fight with him, and he was negligent.

Fa Zheng took a closer look at the enemy's military formation, and said: "I didn't expect this Yang Ang to be quite capable, this crane wing array is still like this, although this array is both offensive and defensive, but it is not easy to change the formation, to encircle and attack, like this large array of tens of thousands of people, if the general is a little careless, it will be taken advantage of by the enemy, and the whole army will be scattered." ”

"It's not good to besiege it together, what is the best way to crack this array?" Zhao Xu asked puzzled.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "If you want to fight in a formation, it is best to break it with a tortoiseshell formation, but there is no absolute in everything, the tortoiseshell formation is not good at attacking, if the enemy general and the two wings attack head-on, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser." Boxiong, and give me a day, I will train the soldiers and horses, and arrange the break. ”

"One day is enough?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise. This Jia Xu is too confident, right? Jia Xu is still like this, so aren't Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu ......

"Our army is full of elites, and to deal with this formation, one day of preparation is enough, although it will not be very skilled, but it can be dealt with." Jia Xu said with a relaxed face, as if he didn't think about what would happen if he failed? The confrontation between the two armies is like child's play.

Zhao Xu was a little uneasy, this Jia Xu was too fierce, and ordered: "No, one day is too short, I'm afraid there will be negligence, so let's do it!" The right to train for three days, and then come to break the formation, it is better to be stable. ”

"It doesn't have to be so long, it ...... in one day"

"No! That's an order. Before Jia Xu finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhao Xu. In three days, I'm waiting to see Wen and your performance, so get ready! ”
