Chapter 043: The Soldier Formation Banner is Correct
Cao Cao was originally in love and was eager to leave this law field, just to see Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning's vigorous posture. But before he could say two sentences, Gan Ning picked up the iron knife and killed him, and Cao Cao now has mixed feelings in his heart.
Cao Cao ran while Gan Ning chased. Gan Ning chased out Xiao Shizhang away in two breaths, and Xiang Cheng and Ma Yuanyi wanted to shout, but it was too late. I don't know if the war horse under Cao Cao's crotch saw Gan Ning's vicious expression, the horse ran straight forward with a frightened face, and waved it all the way with saliva mixed with saliva.
When Cao Cao turned around and fled, the soldiers in ambush around him had already moved. Gan Ning only stared at Cao Cao, but he didn't pay attention to his surroundings. In two breaths, the guards of the northern lieutenant rushed out of the ambush, and the two hundred people set up a circle formation to trap Gan Ning in the circle, while Cao Cao was outside the circle.
"Xingba hurry back!" Xiang Cheng hurriedly shouted, but it was too late.
Seeing that this source was about to be encircled, Xiang Cheng rushed to Gan Ning's side with Ma Yuanyi on his back. As Xiang Cheng rushed into this round formation, this array of soldiers was just encircled. Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning stood alone in the center of this circle with their backs to back.
One of them was holding a halberd and the other was holding an iron knife, but there was no expression of fear on their faces. These soldiers under Cao Cao held spears in their hands, and lined up in a formation, the tip of this spear was facing the center of the circle for three full layers, and each layer was nearly seventy spears, so they were directly aimed at Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning.
The two men were ready for battle, but the soldiers of the besieging circle did not move for a long time.
"Ji Yu, do you think these people are still waiting for reinforcements?" Gan Ning seemed to be a little impatient, and at this time, his tone of voice with his back to Cheng Cheng was also a little eager.
Xiang Cheng was not eager, not because Xiang Cheng had a good quality in his heart, but because Xiang Cheng had just spoken.
"Brother Xiang Cheng, the name of this formation is 'Circular Formation' from "Sun Bin Art of War". This formation is mainly trapped, and it is generally difficult for those who are surrounded to escape. But now there are only some ordinary soldiers here, and there are no generals to suppress the formation, so it is not difficult to break this formation. When Xiang Ji spoke, another wave of emotion came. This mood was slightly thoughtful, as if he was thinking about the question of when to teach the Xiang Cheng Formation.
"Xingba don't be impatient, this array is trapped, and I don't know what Cao Cao's idea is." After listening to Gan Ning's words, Xiang Cheng replied calmly.
It wasn't until afterwards, on the way back to Yecheng, that Xiang Cheng pondered it. This Cao Cao doesn't really want to invite himself to a glass of wine, and then discuss the current affairs of the world for a round of heroes and people, right?
Don't you know that Xiang Cheng's conjecture is infinitely close to the truth.
Cao Cao saw that the two of them had been trapped in the formation, and at this time, he pulled the reins and said breathlessly: "Two strong men, Cao just wants to invite the two of you to drink a glass of thin wine, why do you need to look like swords and guns?" ”
Regardless of whether Xiang Cheng believes it or not, Gan Ning doesn't believe it anyway. At this time, Gan Ning pointed at the knife again and shouted loudly: "If you want to kill me, come up, why do you want to be a woman, and talk too much here!" ”
Cao Cao was speechless for a while, why can't you talk well about this person. Cao Cao didn't pay any attention to Gan Ning, he could see that Xiang Cheng was the one who took care of the two.
"How is this strong man?" Cao Cao turned his face and asked Xiang Cheng again.
Xiang Cheng saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of starting a fight now, so he tightened the cloth rope of Ma Yuanyi with his hand, and then said, "I don't know why the general wants to ask our brother for wine?" ”
Cao Cao was asked again. If Cao Cao comes into contact with meteor music, his current BGM should be like this: "Life has been so difficult, some things should not be debunked".
There are a lot of "unspoken rules" no matter where they are. For example, now, Cao Cao cherishes talents and wants to recruit two people, but these two people have just finished robbing the law field and killed more than 100 soldiers of the Han court. Cao Cao couldn't just say "You are very good, Lao Tzu admires you, and I keep your fragrant and spicy food with me."
Therefore, Cao Cao said that he invited the two of them to have a drink, which means nothing more than that we have something to discuss, and we are all good brothers, right?
As for Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning not understanding the meaning of this sentence, Cao Cao said that he was helpless, but there was no way to do it. After all, Xiang Cheng Ganning is reckless at first glance, and his understanding of these "unspoken rules" is naturally not as good as these people who have been in the court all year round.
Cao Cao sighed lightly in his heart and made a gesture at the little colonel who was waiting for his order.
After the junior colonel comprehended it, he waved the command flag in his hand, and the army formation surrounding Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning pressed up step by step.
Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning also tightened the weapons in their hands, and the atmosphere in the field was tense for a while.
As the atmosphere was extremely depressed, Gan Ning moved.
Gan Ning has always been an impatient person, and he especially does not like such a serious atmosphere. Gan Ning's escape was as dazzling as a flame, burning in this atmosphere as serious as dry wood. As long as Gan Ning's flame spreads, this dry wood will inevitably be swept away by him and become an additive that makes him more dazzling.
"Kill!" Gan Ning shouted, and the iron knife in his hand slashed at the throat of the soldier in front of him as if it carried a soul.
The soldier was startled, and glanced at the command flag in the officer's hand again. The flag language given by this order made the soldier a little embarrassed, but the order was issued, and as a soldier, he could only obey it.
Without giving the soldier much time to think, Gan Ning's iron knife was mixed with a gust of wind, and it floated over like thunder. The soldier did not step forward, but took a step back, perfectly avoiding the sword wind that Gan Ning came to his neck this time.
As the soldier retreated, the circular formation was chaotic.
Gan Ning was wondering that the jailers just now were braver than the city guards, which was completely unscientific.
Xiang Cheng also moved here. The halberd in his hand was two feet longer than the spear in the hands of these soldiers, and Xiang Cheng swept the halberd in a semicircle, thinking that he could harvest at least seven or eight heads this time. As a result, this halberd was swept away, let alone seven or eight, but not a single head was obtained.
Because, the soldiers in front of Xiang Cheng also retreated.
Gan Ning looked back and found that Xiang Cheng was the same, and couldn't help but be even more confused. The surrounding soldiers were stunned when they saw Gan Ning, but they lifted their spears and stabbed them at Gan Ning's limbs.
Although Gan Ning was confused, how could his kung fu be comparable to these ordinary soldiers. With a wave of the iron knife in his hand, the spear that came towards his thigh was swung away. With a backhand slash, the tip of the other iron gun was cut off.
Before Gan Ning could pursue, the two soldiers shrank towards the crowd, and Gan Ning couldn't find it no matter how much he searched.
Seeing these two soldiers shrinking into the crowd, Gan Ning was not in a hurry, but leaned towards Xiang Cheng's side, and after swinging a few spears towards him, Gan Ning opened his mouth and asked, "Jiyu, what do these soldiers mean?" Why don't you deserve your life to capture you and me? ”
Xiang Cheng is even more confused than Gan Ning now, it stands to reason that Boss Cao is still supervising the army next to him, this group of soldiers dare to be so lazy and paddling, if they go to the battlefield, they must not be beaten out of the?
"Brother Xiang Cheng, the problem lies in Lingqi." It was Xiang Ji who spoke.
Xiang Ji, the overlord of Western Chu, has gone through countless battles. Without considering other factors, our Brother Yu is a rare general and warrior in the world. Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning have never led soldiers, and some problems are naturally not as clear as the overlord.
In ancient times, the two armies faced each other, often tens of thousands of people. On this battlefield where people roar and neigh, communication naturally cannot rely on roaring. In addition to beating the drum when you advance, and singing gold when you retreat, the change of formation and formation depends on the dance of the flag.
However, each unit has its own flag, and this thing is not set in stone. Otherwise, how can the enemy surprise the other party after knowing your flag language?
Therefore, although Xiang Ji knew that it was the problem of the flag, he did not quite understand the meaning of the flag.
"Xingba, isn't this Cao Cao going to exhaust you and me?" Xiang Cheng discussed with Gan Ning with some uncertainty after Xiang Ji's mention.
"I don't think so, but I think this person is afraid that he wants to let you and me live." Gan Ning was surrounded by this soldier, but he was quite optimistic.
Regarding Gan Ning's answer, Xiang Cheng rolled his eyes noncommittally.
As a result, before he finished rolling his eyes, Xiang Ji's voice sounded in Xiang Cheng's mind again: "Brother Xiang Cheng, I look at this formation, Cao Cao is afraid that he will capture you two alive." ”
Xiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted randomly, but Xiang Cheng's reaction was a little far away. Xiang Cheng's thought in his heart was like this: "No wonder Zhao Yun can kill seven in and seven out in Cao Ying."
"Xingba, you and I try to break through, I think this Cao Cao may want to capture you and me alive." After Xiang Cheng finished thinking about the "seven in and seven out" thing, he said to Gan Ning at this time.
When Gan Ning heard this, he was angry. Just imagine, although Boss Cao just wanted to leave these two people to talk and chat, this was simply a great insult to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning roared as a tiger, and danced the iron knife to kill in the direction of Cao Cao. The little colonel saw that Gan Ning seemed to see their intentions, and at this time, the order flag in his hand changed, but these soldiers stopped him regardless of life and death.
As the saying goes, "a good man can't stand a lot of people", not to mention that you are full of people on all sides. Xiang Cheng and Ganning broke through together, but they only cut two soldiers, and under the threat of countless spears, they had no choice but to retreat into the battle circle.
Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning also paid attention to the little school dancing the flag at this time, and the little school watched the two retreat, which made the flag wave again and again, and the dance was not a new trick, but a change back to the way it danced before.
Just as Xiang Ji guessed, Cao Cao should have captured Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning alive.
Seeing that the Lingqi had changed again, this wave of soldiers had changed back to the way they had just been, but they retreated with one blow, without taking away half of the clouds.
