Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 66 Battle of wits in battle
Xun turned his head to look around, and felt that the place he was a little familiar
"Quan Cong, did we just come to this place?" Lu Xun asked. UC eBook ()』
Quan Cong glanced around and said, "It seems that I have been here." But the stones all look similar, and the Admiral isn't sure. ”
"Hey......" Lu Xun sighed slightly.
Lu Xun has always been quite confident in his ability, but he didn't expect to get lost in this stone henge today.
At this time, Lu Xun remembered that more than ten years ago, during the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind to burn Chibi, at that time Lu Xun thought that Zhuge Liang was just a coincidence, but now from this stone formation, Zhuge Liang's talent is really thorough!
"Governor, we have found a few brothers, all of whom came with General Gan Ning yesterday." Ding Feng walked and said.
"Bring it up right away!"
After a while, Ding Feng brought five people, all of whom were Wu Jun, and all of them came with the dog men and women the day before yesterday. During Adou's bow and arrow attack, these people were separated from the large army, but they happened to meet Lu Xun here.
Lu Xun immediately asked these soldiers about Gan Ning's situation, and the news he got was that Gan Ning was attacked by Shu archers at night, and these soldiers were separated from Gan Ning's brigade in a panic.
"I don't know how the situation is on General Gan Ning's side......" Quan Cong next to him sighed softly.
Lu Xun had just entered the formation not long ago. The shouting suddenly stopped. I don't know if Gan Ning is dead or alive. At this time, Lu Xun was also very worried about the situation in Ganningdi.
If only the shouting could last for a while. Maybe he will be able to find Gan Ning's whereabouts.
Suddenly. Lu Xun had a flash of inspiration in his mind. There is something strange about this stone formation. It can confuse human vision. It makes people lose their direction. But it is difficult to confuse human hearing. That's why the shouting of killing just now came. Why don't you take advantage of some of this?
Come to think of it. Lu Xun opened his mouth and said, "Give the order immediately." The whole army shouted to me. ”
"Shout? What to shout? Quan Cong asked puzzled.
"Just shout, 'General Gan Ning, where are you'!"
……
"General Gan Ning, where are you?"
"General Gan Ning, where are you?"
The shouts of 80,000 people were enough to reach more than a dozen miles away, and in this quiet twilight, this shout instantly covered the entire stone henge.
"General, ...... listen," the colonel pointed in the direction of the voice.
Gan Ning stood up from the ground violently, and the shout reached Gan Ning's ears clearly.
"General, I'm calling you!"
"yes, it sounds like a lot of people!"
"Yes, it's Governor Lu Xun!" Hope rose again in Gan Ning's heart. Judging from the voice, Lu Xun is not too far away from him.
"Brothers, the reinforcements of the Governor have arrived, let's follow the sound, we will definitely be able to meet the Governor!" Gan Ning shouted.
The morale of the Gan Ning army was suddenly greatly boosted, and at this moment, everyone forgot about fatigue, forgot that they had not rested for days, and everyone lifted their spirits and walked in the direction of the sound.
……
In the distance, Adou was resting against a stone, and at this time, the voice calling for Gan Ningdi also reached Adou's ears.
raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, which was where Lu Xun was now.
"This Lu Xun is really smart, he actually thought of such a way to find Gan Ning!" Zhang Ren next to him smiled slightly.
"It doesn't matter! What about bringing Lu Xun and Gan Ning together? They still can't get out of these eight formations! Adou said, looked at Zhang Ren next to him, and asked, "Are the archers ready?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have selected another five hundred archers from the army, plus the original five hundred, and now another thousand are on standby."
"Okay, herald, we'll be out as soon as it gets dark."
……
Gan Ning took the water bag from Ding Feng's hand, poured a few big mouthfuls into his mouth, and then said, "Oh, it's so cool, but I'm really thirsty!" I can't imagine that I, Ganning, have been a water thief on the Yangtze River for decades, and today I am almost dying of thirst! ”
"Xingba, the governor is waiting for you, come with me!" Ding Feng said.
"Take me there."
Ding Feng took Gan Ning to Lu Xun's approach, only to see Gan Ning fall to the ground suddenly, and said: "The last general is incompetent, not only failed to capture Zhang Ren, but suffered heavy losses, please supervise the crime!" ”
Lu Xun's face sank, and he said: "Gan Ning, this time you are greedy for merit, which has made our army enter a dangerous situation, and it should be punished, but for the sake of your many years of credit, this time I will remember first, you are allowed to wear the guilt and make meritorious service, if you are at fault again, you will be punished for several crimes, and you will never be spared!" ”
"Thank you, Governor!" Gan Ning hurriedly stood up and glanced at Lu Xun gratefully.
Lu Xun is not the kind of person who does not talk about human feelings, although when it is time to stand up, Lu Xun does not mind killing a few people, but Gan Ning is a general in Jiangdong, such a person is absolutely unkillable. Kill Gan Ning, who will help Lu Xun fight? This is as if Huarong Dao Guan Yu let Cao Cao go, and Zhuge Liang did not ask for Guan Yu's life, but just made an understatement.
Some people can be killed, but some people can't be killed, and Gan Ning definitely belongs to the queen. Lu Xun's so-called Dai Ruo commits several crimes and is punished together, which is just a step for both sides.
At this time, Lu Xun opened his mouth and said: "Gan Ning, tell me the details of your situation in the past few days!" ”
"The last will obey." Gan Ning told Lu Xun the detailed battle situation in the past few days, and Lu Xun also got detailed information and valuable experience from Gan Ning.
When Gan Ning said that he heard the shouting of killing, Lu Xun was shocked and hurriedly asked: "So you didn't see any trace of the Shu army after hearing the shouting and killing?" ”
Gan Ning nodded: "What the Governor said is right, I led people to walk in the direction of the sound, but the sound stopped before it arrived!" ”
"Oops, I've been tricked!" Lu Xun shouted quickly. According to Lu Xun's ingenuity, he naturally immediately understood that the Shu army was deliberately shouting just now, the purpose was to attract himself into the stone formation.
I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful figure in the Shu army, and he easily calculated himself. Lu Xun understood that this time he had met a master. It's just that now Zhuge Liang is sitting in Hanzhong, and Pang Tong is far away in Yongdi, who will this person who calculates himself?
……
After listening to Gan Ningdi's narration, all the soldiers stood there with gloomy faces, and it could be seen that everyone was not in a good mood. And Lu Xun, as the head coach, lowered his head and thought about it.
Gan Ning has been in the formation for two days and two nights, and he has not even walked out, which shows that this stone henge is extraordinary. There are many generals in the Wu army who are rough formations, and Lu Xun himself has studied the formation, but for this stone formation, Lu Xun can't see the slightest reason, and Lu Xun is not sure that he can get out of this formation.
What worries Lu Xun even more is that according to Gan Ning's description, the Shu army is obviously not going to clash head-on with the Wu army, it can be seen from the attack on Gan Ning at night by the bow and arrow, the Shu army is deliberately using a tired tactic, although this bow and arrow is not much, but it is enough to make the Wu army worry all night long, and it is difficult to sleep. And the night is dark, and the Shu army uses projectiles, even if the Wu army wants to counterattack, they don't know what direction the Shu army is in.
In this way, Lu Xun couldn't find a way out of the stone henge, coupled with the strategy of the Shu army, the army would inevitably be discouraged within a few days, and the army had lost its military spirit, so this battle was also
Fight, just wait for the whole army to be wiped out.
If Zhang Ren used the method of dealing with Gan Ning to deal with Lu Xun, Lu Xun also had no good way to deal with it. A stone henge makes all of Lu Xun's strategies empty, as long as this stone henge cannot be broken, winning will always be out of reach for Lu Xun.
There are two ways in front of Lu Xun, one is to be able to find the main force of the Shu army and then fight a decisive battle with it; The second is to be able to find a way out of this stone henge, otherwise you can only sit and wait for death.
The Shu army tried its best to lure Lu Xun into the formation, it can be seen that the other party also has resourceful people, since this is the case, the Shu army will definitely not use the main force to fight with Lu Xun, so in fact, Lu Xun's only choice is to find a way to leave this stone formation.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's eight formations are not ordinary formations. This eight formation was arranged by Zhuge Liang after several years of hard work, and it stretched for more than ten miles, even Adou, a person who had learned the formation method from Xu Shu, had to study the formation map for a long time before he dared to go inside, and how did Lu Xun know the road.
Lu Xun needed time to figure out a way, so Lu Xun ordered to stop and rest for the night for a while, and wait until tomorrow to find a way out. At the same time, because he was concerned that the Shu army would attack at night, Lu Xun also ordered people to be careful of the Shu army's attack with bows and arrows.
Adou really did not disappoint Lu Xun, and before he arrived, Adou led people to the vicinity of Lu Xun's army, and then threw a shot at Lu Xun's headquarters.
Adou was not greedy, and the archers retreated after shooting only ten arrows each. After all, this archery is a sneak attack, and if the enemy is on guard, the effect will not be obvious. And archery is also a small physical work, ten arrows are fired, the archer's physical strength is also consumed a lot, and if you shoot it again, it will be much worse in terms of accuracy and strength, and the lethality will become insufficient.
However, these 1,000 archers, 10,000 arrows per person, add up to 10,000 arrows, which is enough for the Jiangdong Army to cause a lot of chaos. When the bow and arrow struck, the Jiangdong army scurried around as if there were no flies, and many people left the brigade and got lost in the formation. Fortunately, Lu Xun sent someone to tell everyone to put bows and arrows before, which made the Wu army mentally prepared, and after Adou's attack, the Wu army's various attritions added up to about 3,000 people.
The sky gradually brightened, Lu Xun looked at the soldiers around him, and now everyone had tiredness on their faces.
Lu Xun sighed lightly, the intention of the tired soldiers of the Shu army was still achieved. It's only the first night now, and although everyone is a little tired, they can still hold on, so Lu Xun must find a way to escape from the stone formation as soon as possible while the sergeant still has the strength.
Lu Xun pushed a stone hard, but the stone did not move at all, which made Lu Xun somewhat discouraged. After this night's research, Lu Xun thought of many ways to break the formation, and the first way was to destroy these stones.
The foundation of this stone henge is these huge stones standing on the ground, as long as it can destroy most of the stones, this array is equivalent to being broken. But Lu Xun tried it just now, these stones are strong enough, although it is much easier to destroy than to build, but looking at this stone that cannot be seen at the edge, Lu Xun still gave up this idea. Zhuge Liang spent many years arranging this stone henge, and Lu Xun wanted to remove or smash all these stones, which was impossible every few months. Now in this situation, let alone a few months, Lu Xun can't afford to wait for a few days.
Forcibly destroying it can't be done, so there is only another way, so Lu Xun found Quan Cong Ding Feng and others, and ordered all sergeants to come forward and make a mark whenever they see a boulder. And when marching, just look for those unmarked stones, because the marked stones must have passed before, and the unmarked ones must have not been walked before.
This method is very troublesome, but now Lu Xun's biggest advantage is that there are many people, so Lu Xun is not afraid of trouble.
As a result, where the army passed, all the surrounding stones were marked by Jiangdong soldiers, and Lu Xun only needed to walk along the unmarked stones. Although the number of stones is large, it is also limited, and according to Lu Xun's way of walking, it will definitely be able to test a path.
……
Adou touched the mark on the stone and smiled slightly, this is the place where Lu Xun's army passed just now, and all the stones around him have been marked by Jiangdong people.
"This Lu Xun is really smart, he actually thought of such a method, although this method is laborious, but it can produce immediate results, with Lu Xun's more than 80,000 people, our stones can't withstand his marks a few times!" Next to Zhang Ren praised.
"Yes, Lu Xun is indeed smart, but he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder!" Adou smiled, walked to a stone that had not been marked, took a mark like the Jiangdong people, and then said to Zhang Ren: "Didn't Lu Xun want to mark the stone?" Let's help him together! ”
At this time, Lu Xun didn't know that someone helped him to mark those unmarked stones. Unlike Lu Xun, Adou is familiar with the terrain in the Eight Formations, so the Shu army specially started to mark from the places near the periphery, so that even if the Jiangdong Army is lucky enough to come to these places near the periphery, when they see the marks on the stone, they will think that they have walked here before, and turn to other directions, and lose the opportunity to go out of the formation.
Counting up, although the Shu army has few people, the speed of marking is three points faster than Lu Xun. Because Lu Xun needs to make a detour in the formation, and every time he shows the mark, he has to go to great lengths to find the places that are not marked, and these places that are not marked will often be spared back to their original places, which will waste a lot of time, and the Shu army does not need to make a detour at all under the leadership of Adou, so the efficiency will be higher.
……
Seeing that it was getting dark again, Lu Xun still did not get out of the stone formation.
"Why did you stop ahead?" Lu Xun asked.
"Governor, the brothers in front are looking for unmarked stones." Ding Fenghui reported.
Lu Xun nodded, the more stones that have been marked, the closer it is to the real road, and after making this choice, he will be able to find a way out.
At this moment, Gan Ning hurriedly ran over.
"Governor, no, we just appeared, and all the boulders in front of us have been marked!"
The second chapter arrived, albeit late, but it really just finished.
There was a mistake in the previous chapter, to correct it, Gluttonous Worm wrote it in a hurry, confusing Jiang Qin and Ding Feng, and Jiang Qin who appeared in the previous chapter should be Ding Feng, because Jiang Qin had already been beheaded by Guan Yu.
The scale of this Zhuge Eight Array, the gluttonous worm thinks that it should be very large, if the scale is small, Zhuge Liang does not dare to boast that he can stop the army of 100,000. During the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun pursued Liu Bei with about thirty or forty thousand horses, and he was still trapped in the formation, so the gluttonous insect judged that the Zhuge Eight Formation on the Yangtze River had to be at least ten or even dozens of miles in aspects, and the area was definitely much larger than that of ordinary cities. Such a huge project seems to be difficult to achieve, but considering that Yan, Zhao and Qin were able to repair the Great Wall for thousands of miles with their respective national strength during the Warring States Period, it is much more reasonable for Zhuge Eight Arrays.
In the end, there is a strong contempt for some people. The chapter of Gluttony is even later because it has not been written yet, and some people insult Gluttony and their families because of this speech, which is too immoral, condemning these people who have no quality!
