Zu Ti knows a lot of formations, in addition to the ten formations obtained from the "Art of War", many formations can know his cloth method and reconciliation method, but this arrow rain plum blossom array has never heard of, although the name sounds like it must be an arrow array, but which soldier's formation, I really don't know, Zu Ti doesn't want to pretend to be smart, he said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates don't know the origin of the arrow rain plum blossom array." ”

"Liu Yao, you can talk about it."

"Yes, Lord Wang, as far as I know, the Arrow Rain Plum Blossom Array was created by the famous general Ma Long, this is the formation he used to deal with the Xianbei cavalry when he went to Liangzhou to pacify the bald tree, General Ma absorbed the advantages of Zhuge Liang's plum blossom array and cloud array, combined the two into one, and blocked the impact of 10,000 Xianbei cavalry with a mere 1,000 men and horses, 500 hard crossbowmen, 200 hook and sickle hands, 200 halberd hands, and 100 knife hands, overall it looks like a plum blossom, and every 100 hard crossbowmen and other soldiers also form a plum blossom shape, No matter which direction the enemy attacks from, it will not disrupt the plum formation. ”

"Well said, well said, Liu Yao has full marks."

The officer noted Liu Yao's score.

This kind of formation is indeed Ma Long's originality, Liu Yao has carefully read Ma Long's military book, so he knows quite well about the above formation, but why did Sima Lun ask about this formation, and how could he know it?

It turned out that Liu Yao, in order to be sure of his victory, had already given generous gifts to Sima Lun and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, and handed them over, and the two princes would of course act according to Liu Yao's wishes.

Sima Jian asked again: "Two, what is the formation of the "White Tiger Moon Formation"? He said and looked at Zu Ti.

This is also the formation contained in Ma Long's book of soldiers, and it is Ma Long's first creation, of course Zu Li does not know.

Sima Jian looked at Zu Li's face, and said to Liu Yao: "You can talk about it again." ”

Liu Yao recounted it in detail according to the book of soldiers, and Sima Jian said: "Okay, Liu Yao has full marks." ”

The officer announced according to the score of the four people: "This game is a tie for two people, and the next game is a battle formation, and the two of them each give a thousand sergeants, and they will successively lay out a formation of the formation, and the other party will break it. ”

Zu Li and Liu Yao stepped down, and each ordered a thousand sergeants, and each sergeant's ordnance and arrows were wrapped, and they were all dipped in lime in advance.

Liu Yao led the troops to set up the formation, and after a while, Liu Yao set up the formation, and the officer came over and told Zu Ti that he could first ride around the formation to watch, and then think of the method of breaking the formation, but if he couldn't break the formation within a pillar of incense, he would lose the formation.

Zu Ti rode a horse and looked around the formation twice, and then climbed the Zhongjun platform to see, the surface of the soldiers was chaotic, the formation was scattered, Liu Yao was in the position of the Chinese army, two hundred crossbowmen pressed the formation, and the formation should be the Xuanxiang array.

Zu Ti knew that this was a suspicious formation, and used illusions to confuse the other party, making the other party think that he was vulnerable, and he rashly sent troops, and the result would be a big defeat and return.

Zu Ti waved the command flag and ordered a 100-person swordsman squad to rush forward with a shield, but before the battle, Liu Yao waved the flag and fired a volley of crossbowmen, and the team was shot back, fortunately there was a shield, otherwise the 100-person squad would be gone.

After Zu Ti tried it, he immediately ordered 300 people to form a cone formation, that is, the forward is like a cone-shaped battle formation, the cone formation must be sharp and fast, the two wings are strong and powerful, and the elite striker can attack the enemy in a narrow frontal position, break through and cut the enemy's formation, which is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.

Liu Yao saw Zu Li's sergeant attack in, did not engage, but withdrew the opening, let all the people in, and sealed the formation gate, commanded a hundred halberders to surround the sergeant and poke indiscriminately, Zu Xiao saw that the matter was urgent, and waved the flag, and the four hundred sergeants were divided into two wings to attack Liu Yao's left and right army, and only half of the three hundred sergeants who rushed in at this time were left!

Liu Yao's two wings were attacked, divided troops to resist, at this time the two armies entered a big melee, but Zu Ti saw that no matter how he rushed, he couldn't break through their formation, he took a closer look, it turned out that this array had another mystery, not Xuanxiang Town was so simple, he saw that there were four officers who looked like people standing in different positions, because they had a red feather on their heads, so it was very conspicuous, around each officer, around different sergeants, respectively, knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, forks, hooks, Zu Ti looked at the overall situation, It was discovered that they were actually a twenty-eight night's layout.

Twenty-eight nights, seven in each of the south, east, west, and north.

The seven nights of the Oriental Canglong are the horn, the horn, the kang, the di, the room, the heart, the tail, and the nay;

The seven houses of Xuanwu in the north are fighting, bull, female, void, dangerous, room, and wall;

The seven houses of the Western White Tiger are Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng;

The Seven Nights of the Southern Suzaku are Well, Oni, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen.

In this formation, each officer actually represents a direction, and each direction has a different military force representing the seven stars, in fact, this formation is called the "Quartet Giant Star Formation", which Liu Yao saw from Ma Long's book of war, this formation is based on the layout of the 28 houses, no matter how the opponent impacts, it will take the main general platform as the center, do a circle movement, and maintain the shape of the 28 houses.

Although Zu Ti didn't know what the name of the formation was, he saw the mystery in it, and he thought that as long as he scattered the seven stars in one direction with all his strength, he could disrupt the operation of the twenty-eight nights, so he decided to use the last three hundred people to attack the southern Suzaku seven nights.

With a wave of the flag, three hundred people rushed to the direction of Suzaku with the sound of drums.

The "Quartet Giant Star Array" rotated in time, and Zu Ti used the command flag to command the sergeants to move with the capital formation, in order to bite a direction, sure enough, under the close attack of three hundred people, the Vermilion Bird position was chaotic, coupled with the strength of the only remaining personnel in the middle, and the attack of the two wings, Liu Yao's "Quartet Giant Star Array" was in a nest, and finally the whole army was destroyed, all of them were hung with lime, and Liu Yao's Zhongjuntai was also surrounded, and Liu Yao completely lost.

The officer immediately announced: "Liu Yao's formation failed, now it is changed to Zu Li's formation, and Liu Yao breaks the formation!" ”

Zu Ti had already discussed the formation with Liu Kun, and he wanted to set up a chain formation, that is, to integrate several formations together, constantly changing, so that Liu Yao's men and horses would not return.

Zu Ti stood in the middle of the army, commanding the sergeants to form a circular formation, it is one of the ten formations, the circular formation is a defensive formation, the golden drum banner is deployed in the center, there is no obvious weakness.

Liu Yao saw that Zu Ti was arranged into a circle formation, and immediately arranged the sergeants into a phalanx, the cloth of the phalanx is a total of nine phalanxes, the front is the heavenly array, the back is the ground array, the left and right are human arrays, called Sancai, this kind of formation has both offense and defense, Liu Yao is arranged into this formation in order to fight hard with Zu Li.

Liu Yao's phalanx, with three rows of halberds in front and crossbowmen in the back, swords and guns on both wings, and the sergeants marched in unison, seeing that they were about to meet each other!
