Chapter 495 Wind Rising Array

"Is it really good to develop technology?" I thought to myself.

Although the development of science and technology has improved the living standards of human beings and changed the way of life, it has greatly damaged the ecological environment.

The rainy day lasted only one day, and the next day it was sunny again.

The earthen wall in front of the fortress of Lumen Mountain has been repaired a lot compared to the day before yesterday, and Yuan Jian, who has good eyesight, said: "Your Majesty, it can be clearly seen that the fortress of the Mongols has been strengthened a lot, and stones have been added to it, presumably to resist the artillery of our army. ”

More than 200 meters away, I couldn't see clearly: "Give the order to go down and open fire." "Even if you add stones to the earthen wall, what can you do with artillery? Unless it's a city wall made entirely of stone, it might still have some effect.

After several rounds of shelling, the non-commissioned officers of the artillery battalion became more and more proficient in the use of artillery, and the accuracy of the artillery was also getting higher and higher.

"Almost, tell Crete to stop the bombardment, and wait for tomorrow to destroy its earthen wall completely." I said with great ambition, "The armies will retreat in the established order. ”

That night, I received a battle report from Tian Xiuyan of the Southwest Military Region, in which Tian Xiuyan wrote that our Southwest Military Region had successfully captured the entire territory of Kunming on 13 June, and that the rest were either killed or surrendered, except for the garrison general Kudu and more than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers who had fled. The vanguard of our army has already marched westward, and it is expected that the large force will be able to reach Dali City in three days.

"June 13th, today is June 19th, and today, Dali City should also be in the hands of our army." I muttered to myself after reading it.

"Brother, it seems that the war in Yunnan should be fine."

I said "En" and said: "Ling'er, sleep, I will continue to bombard Lumen Mountain tomorrow." ”

Nothing was said all night.

At noon the next day, I led the army to the foot of Lumen Mountain again.

"What's going on?" I looked from afar, and saw smoke dozens of meters in front of me, and I couldn't see the Yuan army camp behind it.

Everyone also exclaimed: "Why is there such a big smoke in front of the Yuan army camp in Lumen Mountain?" Lumen Mountain is completely blocked. ”

"Brother, it's noon, the weather is good, and there is only smoke in front of the Mongol fortress around, weird, weird." Fang Ling looked around.

"It's a formation." Yuan Jian affirmed.

"Formation?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's like the Nine Rounds Qimen Array outside the Valley of the Kings."

"Could it be that there are also warlock masters in the Mongol army?" I hurriedly said, "Ask Gongsun Xiaochen to come forward and take a look." ”

Gongsun Xiaochen, who was two horses behind, hurriedly stepped forward, looked at it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, this is the five squares. ”

"Five phalanxes?" I shook my head and said, "I've never heard of it, Gongsun Xiaochen, be careful." ”

Gongsun Xiaochen pointed to the bursts of smoke in front and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the smoke in front should be in the shape of a cross, the smoke at the intersection in the middle is the densest, and the smoke in the upper and lower left and right directions is slightly thinner, the five squares can also be called the five arrays, although the emperor has not heard of the five-square map, but he must know the eight-array map." ”

"Of course I know this, it is the Eight Array Diagram used by Zhuge Kongming of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period."

"Exactly." Gongsun Xiaochen explained, "Your Majesty, in the past, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and his subordinate generals Fenghou initiated the Qimen Dunjia Technique and Qiujing**, which is the foundation of all the formations in the world, and the Nine Qimen Formations, the Eight Formations, and the Five Formations all evolved from them. Among the formations that the last general knows, the Nine Qimen Formation is the most, it is the only nine-level formation in the world, the eight-level formation of Zhuge predecessors and Jiang Taigong's Taigong Formation belong to the eight-level formation, and this five-square array belongs to the five-level formation, which is consistent with the truth of the eight-array diagram, but there are only three formations missing. The emperor looked at it again, in the four formations of the upper and lower sides, where the smoke was slightly thinner, were countless figures faintly visible? ”

"Well, after you say this, I can see some clues, and there seem to be quite a few of them, but they don't look like human figures."

"Your Majesty, this is the additional effect of the formation, and it is not clear what the specific general is inside. However, it is certain that there will not be many people in the formation. Low-level formations like the Five Formations and Six Flower Formations still need manpower, while formations above the seventh level don't even need people. The emperor walked through the nine Qimen arrays, and there was no one in it. Today, the eight-level eight-array diagram has been lost, and my Emperor Valley Gongsun Hall Master can only use the seven-level seven-element array, and it has to be suitable for the place, and with the ability of the last general, the fifth level is the limit. ”

"Level five? That means Xiao Chen, can you break this formation? ”

Gongsun Xiaochen said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, give the last general a little time, although these five phalanxes are missing three formations, but five of them seem to have changed, and the last general needs to think carefully." ”

Hu Yande behind me said: "Xiao Chen, if you ignore it, what if our army directly enters it?" ”

"If you don't know this formation, you will have different hallucinations and fall into it after entering, from the outside, the area occupied by this burst of smoke is not very large, once inside, it is a heavy heaven and earth, between the virtual and the real ordinary people can not judge, not to mention anything else, even the direction will not be clear. As the emperor once said, the space in the formation has been distorted, and it cannot be reasoned with normal. ”

Fang Ling and I have experienced the Nine Qimen Formations, and we know how powerful it is, even if we are like the Shaman Supreme Talent Engya, we can't get out of it. Although the five-square array is far inferior to the nine-round Qimen array, it is not trivial.

"The order was sent down, the armies were on alert, and the artillery battalion retreated ten miles to avoid being attacked by the Mongol cavalry. Xiao Chen, think about it. ”

Gongsun Xiaochen rode forward, and when he reached about ten meters in front of the smoke, he turned over and dismounted, and walked around in front of the formation.

"Quanyi, Huyan, the two of you stepped forward to protect Gongsun Xiaochen." I was worried that the Mongols would suddenly rush out of the smoke, and Gongsun Xiaochen's martial arts were not very high, so I ordered the two of them to go and protect them.

"Heaven and earth, the main formation, the main soldier are all there, the odd array only has one bird flying array, missing the dragon, tiger, snake three formations, this should be very simple, but why does it always look a little wrong?" Gongsun Xiaochen frowned and thought.

In the Eight Arrays, the four places of Qiankun Xungong are used as the main formations of heaven and earth, as the main soldiers, and the water, fire, gold and wood are the four strange formations of dragons, tigers, birds and snakes, as the strange formations.

"The northwest is dry land, and dry is the heavenly array. The southwest is Kundi, and Kun is the ground array. The southeast is the Xundwelling, and the Xunzi is the wind gust. The northeast is the Gen dwelling, the Gen is the mountain, the mountains and rivers are out of the clouds, and the cloud array. But the five formations of these five squares are different, why is that? ”

Gongsun Xiaochen pondered and meditated, but saw Zhang Quanyi on the side. The two are of similar age, usually have more contact, as soon as they see Zhang Quanyi, Gongsun Xiaochen remembered Tai Chi, Qimen Dunjia and Tai Chi have a lot in common, when they are free, Zhang Quanyi often asks Gongsun Xiaochen for relevant knowledge, and Zhang Quanyi will also tell Gongsun Xiaochen the essence of Taijiquan jointly researched with Yuan Jian, and both of them have benefited a lot.

"I see, the five squares placed by the Mongols turned out to be a rotating five-array diagram, although this formation makes each individual formation more complicated, increasing the difficulty of breaking the formation, but the overall power is reduced a lot, as long as the method of breaking one by one, instead of breaking the formation at the same time, it is simple, at most it takes a little more time. It seems that the Mongols did not learn the true meaning of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. ”

Gongsun Xiaochen returned to me and told me the method of breaking the formation. After a brief discussion, I said: "The generals will listen to the order, and the battle to break the formation will be commanded by Gongsun Xiaochen. ”

"Generals, this five-phalanx of the Mongols is composed of five different formations, namely the Heaven Covering Array, the Earth Carrying Array, the Wind Raising Array, the Cloud Hanging Array, and the Snake Pan Array. These five formations are interrelated and independent of each other, and because of the lack of three formations, the connection between them is far inferior to the eight formations, and our army only needs to break them one after another. The enemy's five formations are in the shape of a cross, and constantly changing, located in front of our army is currently the wind array, the wind in the formation has no positive shape, attached to the sky, changed into a snake, its meaning gradually mysterious, wind can drum things, everything surrounds, snakes can be around, the three armies are afraid. In this array, people and snakes are mixed, but all the snake-shaped images are all illusory things, don't pay attention to them, according to Xiao Chen's judgment, the number of Yuan troops in the formation is at most one or two hundred, as long as they resist the wind and destroy it, the snake-shaped image and the wind will disappear. General Huyande. ”

"The last general, please give an order to General Gongsun."

"You led 500 heavily armored soldiers of the Twentieth Army, armed with heavy shields and swords, to break the formation. General Huyan kept in mind that the formation went straight, ignoring the left and right, and any life except people in the wind was illusory. ”

"Yes, the last general."

I suddenly thought about it and asked, "Wait, Gongsun Xiaochen, why are there only one or two hundred people in the enemy formation?" ”

Gongsun Xiaochen said: "Your Majesty, the five-square array is a martial cultivation array, which is different from the martial cultivation array, the smaller the number of people, the more powerful it is, if the number of people in this formation exceeds two hundred, its power will be greatly reduced, since the wind is based on the wind, it is known for its lightness, and the number of people in it will not be very large." ”

"There's so much more to it." I smiled, "General Huyan, let's go." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hu Yande, who was at the forefront of the team, held a double whip in his hand, his eyes were level, and he walked slowly step by step. After seven or eight steps into the wind array, I saw that the surrounding wind suddenly blew, and the visibility became extremely low, and what was amazing was that a long snake that could fly suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, fortunately, I heard Gongsun Xiaochen say in advance, these snakes are illusory things, when they don't exist, and once they are cut with a war knife, there will be more and more.

Outside the formation, we could only see 500 soldiers walking into it, and then disappeared.
