In the core area of this Bagua Tortoiseshell Formation, there were several carriages that formed a command platform, and Mu Lan stood on the command platform to control this military formation.

There are four war drums standing behind Mu Lan, and there are also several flag bearers holding flags who can wave the flag at any time, so that the military marquis officers in the tortoiseshell shield array around can hear the war drum orders, peep at the commands of these flags, and guide the entire military formation to change.

Around the command platform in the core area of this military array, there are five square shield arrays guarding the command platform in a five-element posture, and a thousand crossbowmen are hidden and ambushed in these square shield arrays, they are the last force to guard the command platform of the army array.

There is also a space of about 500 steps between the core area of the military formation and the area of the outer military formation, which is a buffer zone for adjusting the changes in the military formation, so that the Zhu guards who are arranging the formation can retreat and reorganize the team, and then enter the outer military formation area again.

Of course, at this moment, the entire military formation seemed quiet, and there was no sound of commotion.

The Zhu guards hidden in those tortoiseshell shield arrays just peeked out through the gaps in the shields, and as they breathed, it seemed that an invisible murderous aura emanated from these shield arrays that were like giant turtles, thus making the entire Bagua Tortoiseshell Array seem to constitute a fierce place with a mysterious aura.

Huang Zhong led his troops to rush to this side, and when he looked at the formation set up by Mu Lan, his brows furrowed.

Today's Huang Zhong is only forty-five or six years old, and when he is in the prime of life, it can be regarded as the peak period of his life, but now in the face of this military formation put forward by Mu Lan, Huang Zhong can't help but be surprised.

This is not an easy formation to break through, those passages that seem to allow Huang Zhong's soldiers to kill into the army formation are definitely a path of robbery and killing of Huang Zhong's soldiers.

With the change of command of Mu Lan at the core of the military formation, Huang Zhong's soldiers who rushed in could suddenly face the shield wall knife mountain and fall into a grinding and killing situation.

Huang Zhongzhong didn't expect Zhu Wei to be able to put up such a military formation, this is not something that anyone can come up with, even Huang Zhong himself only knows the formation, but he is not confident enough to train elite soldiers who can exert the power of the military formation.

The military formations formed by the army on the battlefield can be regarded as having existed since ancient times, and the names of many military formations sound very mysterious, such as a long snake formation, a two-dragon water formation, or something like that.

In fact, the military formations that are really used against the enemy on the battlefield are simply marching formations, attacking formations, and defending formations.

Needless to say, the marching array is the arrangement of the positions of different arms when the army is marching, so that it can respond to possible enemy raids in a timely manner, and can also speed up the speed and efficiency of the march.

The offensive formation is the arrangement of the troops of the charging troops, mainly which troops are placed in what position, so that they can give full play to the strengths of different arms, find the flaws in the enemy's military formation, and rush in, so as to gain the advantage of troops on the battlefield.

However, in cold weapon warfare, most of the so-called formations should be regarded as defensive formations, that is, defensive military formations that arrange an army to be fixed and guarded in one place, so as to prevent the enemy from passing through and realize other military strategic arrangements.

If there is time, this kind of defensive formation is to construct a temporary camp like a military fortress, so as to use fortifications to protect a key passage, but if there is not much time, then only some equipment or defensive tools can be used to construct a temporary defensive front.

With the development of military warfare, with the help of soldiers' positions and shields and other equipment to create a defensive military array, it has become the so-called military array, the most famous of which is naturally Zhuge Liang's eight arrays and the six flower arrays evolved by Li Jing, the later Tang Dynasty military god, according to the eight arrays.

However, Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram is said to have originated from the Yellow Emperor's Qiujing method, and later Jiang Taigong evolved into the Taigong Array, which is more famous in the back is the Bagua Array of the Soldier Saint Sun Wu.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang's eight arrays are based on Sun Wu's Bagua Array evolution, which is based on the basic principle of using about nine small military formations to form an overall large array according to the eight directions of the Bagua type, so that the large array contains the small array, the front array can be the back array, the back array can also be the front array, the four corners of the four sides are connected to each other, and each twist and turn corresponds to each other.

Once the enemy enters this formation, the attack cannot quickly attack the general in the center, and it is very difficult to withdraw from this formation, so he falls into a dilemma, and then is swallowed up by the military formation little by little.

But in general, this kind of military formation can only be arranged on a fixed battlefield, and it is impossible to pursue and move, so it can only be used as a defensive military formation to stick in one area.

Now this gossip tortoiseshell array put out by Mu Lan is actually a type of gossip array, Wang Yuyan, Mu Lan, and Pang Yan are all systematic customized military advisors and general-level talents who have been instilled with military knowledge in the Three Kingdoms game system, and they are naturally familiar with how to arrange military formations.

Therefore, during military training, various military formations will be trained, so that various military formations can be arranged on the battlefield at any time.

Of course, the so-called gossip array is not as magical as the legend, after all, the soldiers who make up the military array are also ordinary people, not robots, and it is impossible to remember the position of the military formation that is too complicated, so it will only mess up the formation because of a small mistake.

As far as the gossip tortoiseshell array put out by Mu Lan is concerned, the main thing is to let the soldiers with big shields, small shields and ring-headed knives form a circular tortoiseshell army array, and then under the command of the military marquis, the soldiers in the tortoiseshell army formation only need to move in a certain direction, and then use shields and manpower to disperse the enemy troops who enter the formation, so as to achieve a certain range of more and less fighting, and finally eliminate the enemy troops entering the formation.

Therefore, the position of the soldiers in this kind of military formation is also very simple, as long as the military marquis who is responsible for the command in the tortoiseshell army formation grasps a policy of "fixed number of steps and neat maneuvers", it is not easy to be confused in the overall military formation.

In fact, it is just a matter of letting the soldiers in these tortoiseshell formations that make up the overall formation only move a certain number of steps in a certain direction, and then recalculate the number of steps to move in the direction of change.

It can be said that on the whole, these soldiers move in a cycle in the military formation in the form of Bagua, so that the entire Bagua Tortoiseshell Formation can maintain the stability of the overall formation in the movement and change.

Of course, if one of the tortoiseshell teams really can't find their own way in the change of the military formation, then they can retreat into the buffer zone in the core area of the military formation, make room for the other teams to move, and then find a new position and insert it back.

As long as the soldiers in such a formation move in a certain direction, and then work together to squeeze the enemy troops into the military formation with the help of large shields and small shields, they can divide the enemy troops again and again, and then destroy the enemy army by surrounding the small group of enemy troops and using their own superior forces.

Of course, in the course of the battle, once someone on your side is injured or killed, there will be people from the small tortoiseshell formation to replace them, so in the eyes of the enemy, it seems that there is an endless stream of manpower, surrounding and slashing themselves.

At the same time, in order to prevent the military formation from being affected by the presence of corpses on the ground, whether it is a wounded or dead enemy or a companion on his side, there will be a tortoiseshell army soldier who is not responsible for fighting to transport the corpse outside the formation as soon as possible to protect the wounded soldiers on their side to the center of the military formation.

In this way, there will never be any corpses or wounded left on the ground in the battle of the military formation, which can also make the military formation appear more mysterious and unpredictable.

Of course, such a military formation is not completely without a way to crack it, a military general who is also familiar with the military formation can lead the troops to kill the military formation, and forcibly block the movement route of the soldiers in the military formation, so that the military formation cannot circulate and operate, and it will not be able to play the role of the military formation.

In this way, it has become an ordinary battlefield where people are fighting and fighting.

However, at this time, the commanding generals located at the core of the military formation will also assign strong generals and military marquis to come over and forcibly break through the gathering points of the enemy's generals and soldiers in the military formation, once again revitalize the operation of the military formation, and once again divide the enemy army with the help of changes in the military formation, so as to give full play to the killing effect of the military formation.

However, in this case, it depends on which side has stronger combat effectiveness of the generals and soldiers, so a military formation often needs generals with a certain amount of force to suppress the formation, which is the reason.

Of course, there is not only one way to move a military formation, and sometimes the general commanding the military formation finds that the enemy has cracked the current military formation, and can completely change the formation, so that the blocked military formation can move in a different direction.

It's just that this is also the same, and enemy generals who know the principle of the movement of the military formation can still find new flaws and break through the formation again.

However, if you want to build a military formation, you also need well-trained elite soldiers, otherwise you don't need the enemy to attack, and the military formation will be distorted and invalid due to the movement of your own soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei's soldiers are all trained through the Three Kingdoms game system, so there is no need to worry about this, and if you want to train a soldier who can be deployed in this realistic Three Kingdoms world, you need to designate a special army, and then spend a lot of energy and time to conduct special training.

So now Huang Zhong can only be afraid when he sees the gossip tortoiseshell array laid by Mu Lan, because he knows that it is really difficult to train an army that can be deployed, but once it can be trained, it is a special force with the ability to change the situation of battle.

It can be said that a military formation composed of a well-trained army, if arranged in an important place, can stand like a chime under the washing of the river.

Sometimes it only takes a few thousand troops to form a military formation to block the attack of the enemy army several times its size, and if the enemy troops attacking the military formation are a rabble, then the act of attacking the military formation again and again will only be in vain again and again.

This is also the greatness of those famous military generals in history.

Fighting a war is not a simple matter, and the famous historical generals who can leave their names since ancient times are not simply armed forces, but also need to have this kind of military ability, otherwise they can only be called a brave word, and cannot be regarded as a real military master.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Zhuge Liang laid down the Bagua Stone Array, and blocked the 100,000 Eastern Wu soldiers and horses that Lu Xun burned the company camp and then took advantage of the victory to pursue Liu Bei's defeated army, it is said that Lu Xun fell into the Bagua Array at that time, if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan to show Lu Xun the way out, Lu Xun would have died in the Bagua Array or something.

Although it is not certain what the state of the Bagua Stone Formation laid by Zhuge Liang is now, it is very likely that a broken elite infantry of Western Shu formed a Bagua Stone Formation with the help of stones, thus forming a defense line to block the pursuit of Eastern Wu, thus blocking the 100,000 pursuing soldiers of Eastern Wu commanded by Lu Xun.

Liu Bei was able to get a respite with the help of the Bagua Stone Formation, and then retreated to Baishi City with the remnants of the Western Shu army.

And Lu Xun lost the opportunity to pursue the victory, and considering the threat of Cao Wei's surprise attack on Eastern Wu, he also withdrew his troops.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may have a lot of exaggerations about Zhuge Liang, it is also possible that in real history, Lu Xun may have personally led his troops into the Bagua Stone Formation, and then was almost killed by this military formation.

As for what Huang Chengyan saved Lu Xun or something, there is no way to verify what happened.

Okay, these are not much nonsense, anyway, now that Huang Zhong has seen this gossip tortoiseshell array put forward by Mu Lan, as a general who is also familiar with military books, he can naturally see the horror of this military formation......
