Jia Xu looked forward condescendingly, only to find that the gossip array was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The Bagua Great Array made perfect use of the terrain of the twenty-mile slope, and was full of trenches and walls in eight different directions, supplemented by heavy equipment such as rushing vehicles and wells, and there were also shield soldiers, giant crossbow soldiers, and pikemen escorting the formation, separating the changing and murderous passages between the huge arrays.

Xu Chu's 8,000 cavalry had completely lost their way and was rushing towards the center of the Bagua Great Array.

Ma Chao saw Jia Xu's solemn expression, he was silent for a while, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Military Division, how is the situation?" ”

"It's not good!" Jia Xu held his forehead with his hand and said in a condensed voice, "This formation is not a simple gossip array, but a combination of terrain, baggage, equipment and traps, far more complex and dangerous than the gossip array in the war book, if you don't observe carefully, it's really not easy to find out what is powerful, but it's ......."

Ma Chao's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "But what?" ”

Jia Xu said: "But this battle is a death battle!" ”

"Death?"

"The so-called dead formation means that the positions of the troops that form the large array are all dead, and they can only change different formations in the same place, and they cannot change their shapes and positions!" When Jia Xu said this, a sly smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and he said casually, "It seems that ghosts also have the difficulties of ghosts, hehe." ”

Ma Chao's expression moved, and he said in a condensed voice: "The military advisor has thought of a solution?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, called Ma Chao to him, and told him like this, Ma Chao understood, raised his gun and howled: "Heavy armor iron horseman, ready to attack!" ”

In the dull sound of war horses, a thousand heavily armored iron horsemen surged in and out to form a formation in front of Ma Chao.

"Assault!"

Ma Chao led the wolf spear forward, and took the lead in riding his horse to rush out, and in the overwhelming shouts, a thousand heavily armored iron horsemen slowly began to accelerate, gradually converging into an unstoppable turbulent iron stream, sweeping towards the Bagua Great Array in front, almost at the same time, the remaining 40,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were also divided into two groups, and began to circle around the Bagua Great Array of the coalition army.

Iron hooves were churning, horses' heads were moving, and nothing else could be heard in heaven and earth except the roaring hooves.

……

The army in the gossip array is on a high platform.

"Huh?" Cao Ren suddenly let out a sigh of surprise and said in a rebellious voice, "The Xiliang thieves seem to be about to attack in a big way!" ”

Everyone looked sideways, Guo Jia's right hand that was brushing his beard suddenly paused, and when he looked around, he saw that tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry had been divided into two units, and the south and north wings of the coalition gossip array swept by, especially the black cavalry in the west made Guo Jia's expression solemn.

"Heavy Armor Iron Rider!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly shouted, pointing to the Xiliang cavalry directly west of the army, which was small in number but imposing, and hissed lowly, "Damn, that's the horse butcher's heavily armored iron horse!" Strategist, it is impossible for the army on the west side of the Bagua Array to block the surprise attack of these monsters, please allow the last general to lead the army to attack! ”

At this moment, the group of heavy-armored iron horsemen had already smashed into the gossip array viciously with the momentum of crushing everything, Guo Jia's eyes were cold, and the cutting direction of this group of heavy-armored iron horses was extremely tricky, just avoiding the trap array on the left and the rushing array on the right, and then cut into the junction of the two corners, and the original integrated gossip array was forcibly separated in an instant.

Wherever the heavily armored iron cavalry passed, the coalition soldiers were like waves splitting and retreating, and their flesh and blood could not stop the assault of these ironclad monsters after all.

The rout of Qianjiao and Dujiao soon triggered a chain reaction, causing chaos in the entire gossip array, and the eight thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had been unable to break out of the encirclement by rushing left and right in the array, quickly felt this subtle change, and suddenly the army's heart was greatly boosted, Xu Chu even pulled the wolf's tooth hammer to the top of his head, and said sharply: "Brothers, the major general and the military division have also attacked, now look at us, kill~~"

"Kill, kill, kill~~"

Eight thousand Xiliang Iron rode three calls in response, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Awesome, worthy of Jia Poison!" Guo Jia's bright eyes flashed with a glimmer of bright color, and he said in a condensed voice, "I discovered the weakness of this military division's 'gossip battle' so quickly, it really deserves its reputation!" ”

"Strategist!" Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said, "If you don't think about it, the gossip array will be broken!" ”

"It's too late!" Guo Jia shook his head and said in a deep voice, "As the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the gossip battle can no longer be maintained!" However, although the formation is broken and the army is still there, if the Xiliang army wants to easily defeat the coalition army, it is also wishful thinking, and the real decisive battle has just begun. ”

Guo Jia's tone was not without regret, if he could be given two more months, this Bagua Great Array would be able to be fully trained, and at that time, even if it suffered a sudden attack like the Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry, the coalition army would have enough adaptability to resolve it, but now, due to the short time of joint training, it is difficult for tens of thousands of Kwantung troops to truly comprehend the subtleties of the Bagua Great Array, and they will not be able to change shape and transposition in a timely and accurate manner, and the power that the Bagua Great Array can exert is even less than thirty percent, and it is expected that it will be resolved by Jia Poison.

Although the gossip array was broken, Guo Jia did not have the slightest look of annoyance on his face, flicked his sleeves and ordered: "The whole army is ordered to shrink to the Chinese army, relying on the original pits, ravines, rushing cars, and wells in the array, and arranging the sharp arrows, fish scales, Xuanxiang, and geese marching formations in turn, preparing to fight to the death with the Xiliang army." ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "What about the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry who entered the battle?" ”

"Let them go!" Guo Jia said indifferently, "In this round, it was Jia Poison who won, and this military division recognized it." ”

Wise as Guo Jia, of course he knew that continuing to surround this 8,000-cavalry Xiliang cavalry in the formation was an endless disaster, if he couldn't eat this cavalry in the shortest possible time, he was likely to be turned around by Jia Poison to play a 'joint attack on all sides and blossom in the center', so that the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops would have the worry of collapse!

Cooked lightly and ripe heavy, it is clear when you think about it.

Of course, Guo Jia would not risk taking hundreds of thousands of allied troops for the sake of 8,000 Xiliang cavalry.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Guo Jia gave an order, and the continuous sound of horns suddenly sounded in the coalition army's array, and when he heard the sound of the horn, the hundreds of thousands of coalition soldiers who were originally scattered on the 20-mile slope immediately took the favorable terrain as a cover, and after the shield soldiers, the chariot formation, and the well formation were broken, they slowly shrank towards the large array of the Chinese army.

……

Yangzhou, Hengjiang Port.

The Jinfan thieves are fighting fiercely with the Jiujiang naval army, the whole port has been shrouded in raging fire, and the figures of the Jiujiang soldiers are running and wailing in the flames, and from time to time there are unlucky people rushing to the river with a roar of flames, and then falling into the icy river with a pop.

On the river, dozens of Jinfan thieves' warships were confronting more than 100 fighting ships of the Jiujiang Water Army.

"Accelerate, accelerate! Bang, hit and kill these damn water thieves~~"

Zhang Ying, the captain of the Jiujiang Navy, waved the machete in his hand, roaring hoarsely, while constantly urging the oars to speed up the speed of the oars, and under Zhang Ying's urging, the narrow and narrow fighting ship crashed into the waist of a brocade sail in front of him at full speed! The bow of the Jiujiang Bucket Ship is wrapped in iron sheets, thick and hard, once it hits the waist of Jinfan Chong, I am afraid that it will immediately crash into two.

But unfortunately, that Jinfan Chong is Gan Ning's ship.

"Knock knock!"

In the sound of deep footsteps, the soles of the two huge bare feet stepped heavily on the deck of the Jinfan Chong, and there was a cold river water flowing down the thick calves, and the river water was mixed with a faint blood, and it flowed to the deck and turned red in an instant, that ...... It's the blood of the enemy.

"Bell ......"

The sharp nine-ring machete turned horizontally in the air, and the nine iron rings collided with each other to make a crisp sound, as if the nine copper bells were shaking in the wind, crisp and pleasant, only those who are familiar with this bell can hear the hidden murderous atmosphere! Unfortunately, all those who are familiar with the bell have died at the bottom of the river.

"Penny!"

Gan Ning held a knife in his left hand and raised his right hand, and a brocade thief had already handed a slender penny into Gan Ning's hand, Gan Ning Huo Ran raised his head, scorching the Jiujiang Dou Ship that was destined to crash in front of him, and his eyes were already burning with a scorching killing machine! Suddenly, Gan Ning ran forward a few steps, and then gently rubbed himself on the deck with a penny.

"Quack Quack~~"

In the piercing bending sound, the slender penny was instantly pressed into an arch, and when it was about to be crushed, the penny burst out with amazing flexibility, and bounced outward suddenly, unexpectedly ejecting Gan Ning's heavy body several feet away, and swept towards the Jiujiang fighting ship that was rushing towards it like a big bird!

"Instigation~~"

The figure was in the sky, and Gan Ning jumped onto the bow of the Jiujiang Dou Ship like a flying fish.

"Kill him!" Zhang Yingshu, the captain of the Jiujiang Navy Army, was taken aback when he saw that there was an extra water thief on the bow of the boat, and he hurriedly waved his knife and shouted, "Brothers, go on, kill him!" ”

"Hey, hey!"

Gan Ning sneered twice, his eyes were hideous, and he was already staring at Zhang Ying like a wolf.

"Huh?"

Zhang Ying shivered violently, instinctively took two steps back, turned around and wanted to run into the cabin.

"Want to run? No way! Gan Ning roared, leaped forward, spread his arms like a big bird with wings spread and pounced on Zhang Ying, who was in the air, and shouted, "The person who was targeted by his grandfather has never lived to the sun rising the next day, so you just obediently accept your fate~~"

"Kill!"

A Jiujiang sailor howled and slashed at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning twisted his body casually, the Jiujiang sailors slashed the air, and the next moment a heavy pressure came from the top of his head, but it was Gan Ning who stepped heavily on his head, only to hear a poof, the head of the Jiujiang sailor was crushed by Gan Ning, like a watermelon, and the next moment, Gan Ning's heavy tiger body jumped into the air again, and the eagle pounced on Zhang Ying's head like a chicken.

"Help~~"

Zhang Ying howled and rubbed his body and pounced.

"Knock knock!"

Two huge soles suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Ying like a ghost, almost trying to trample the deck of the fighting ship, Zhang Ying couldn't retract his momentum, and hit the two feet headlong, only to feel a buzzing sound in front of his eyes suddenly full of stars. Gan Ning kicked Zhang Ying unconscious, pulled the knife and pulled the head down, then picked up Zhang Ying's bloody head, and yelled: "Zhang Ying is dead, those who descend will not be killed!" ”

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Hearing Gan Ning's roar, the Jinfan thief responded three times, and the Jiujiang Navy was frightened, stunned for a moment, and then fell down on the deck, raised the weapons in their hands, and said in a panic: "Willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender~~"

……

Xingyang, twenty miles of slope.

Xu Chu rode his horse to Jia Xu, hung his head and said dejectedly: "Military advisor, the last general has disappointed you." ”

"General Xu Chu doesn't need to be discouraged." Jia Xu said slowly, "It's all to blame for the carelessness of the army, almost causing the general to fall into the enemy formation, if the lord returns, he will be guilty of asking for guilt." Also, how was the damage to the general's soldiers? ”

"The brothers didn't do any major damage." Xu Chu replied angrily, "The gossip bird array can't look good from the outside, but when you get inside, you know that the place is very big!" The coalition forces were afraid of injuring their own people by mistake, and they did not dare to shoot with bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, but they could not turn around, and finally they were tripped and trapped, and hundreds of brothers were killed. ”

"This time only a few hundred brothers were lost, which is not easy." Ma Chao said in a deep voice, "But next, it's a head-on decisive battle without tricks, General Ben wants to see what tricks the coalition forces can play?" ”

"Major general, don't underestimate the enemy." Jia Xu said in a condensed voice, "Our army is here for twenty miles to show its prestige, so that the Kwantung Coalition Army is afraid of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it is not really to fight to the death with the Coalition Army!" ”

"Rest assured, General Ben knows it." Ma Chao said in a condensed voice, "After all, the strength of the coalition army is as many as tens of thousands, twice that of our army, and most of our Xiliang cavalry are light cavalry, which is better than the speed of maneuvering, but it is not good at forcibly attacking the fortifications. ”

Jia Xu didn't say anything, just nodded with satisfaction.

……

Yangzhou, Hengjiang Port.

The night wind is like a knife, and the wasteland is cold.

A blood-colored wolf banner is fluttering in the wind, under the big flag, Ma Yue is wearing a golden armor, straddle the fiery sweat and blood horse, like a golden armor god of war, majestic and murderous. Behind Ma Yue, Dian Wei and Gan Ning were both wearing heavy armor, each holding an iron halberd and a steel knife to protect the left and right.

"Purr~~"

In the sound of the heavy war horse, Xi Liangxiao rode Li Meng forward, and said sharply: "The lord has an order, get on the horse!" ”

"Whoa!"

Li Meng gave an order, and the six thousand Xiliang soldiers turned over and got on their horses together!

Under the night sky, the black-pressed Xiliang Iron Cavalry was like a group of evil ghosts from the Fengdu Ghost Prison, wearing dark iron armor, what was especially frightening was that these cavalrymen's faces were covered with hideous and terrifying grimace masks, and the faces of the Xiliang soldiers could not be seen, only the green grimaces, and the cold murderous intent revealed in the narrow eye hole.

Ma Yue nodded with satisfaction, but a faint trace of regret passed through the depths of his eyes.

This has just stepped on the ground of Yangzhou, and there are only 6,000 soldiers left at the time of the expedition, of which nearly 1,000 soldiers fell ill on the ship because of the lack of water and soil (fortunately, it is winter, the climate in the south is not much different from the north in addition to being humid, if you change the summer to go out, the 8,000 army of horse butchers may have been wiped out before they arrived in Jiangdong.) Ma Yue had no choice but to let the sick man follow Gan Ning's sailor action.

As for the other more than 1,000 soldiers, because of Ma Yue's carelessness, they have been sleeping at the bottom of the icy Yangtze River forever.

Ma Yue took a breath and said quickly, "Where is Wang Fang?" ”

Wang Fang hurriedly rode out of the battle and said quickly: "The last general." ”

Ma Yue took out a letter from his arms, solemnly handed it to Wang Fang, and said in a condensed voice: "Quickly send this secret letter to Luoyang and present it in front of the military division's case!" ”

Wang Fang took the book and said sharply: "The last general will take the order." ”

Ma Yue was not at ease, and advised: "The stakes are very high, there is no room for mistakes, the general must be careful on the road!" ”

Wang Fang's eyes showed a solemn expression, and he said in a condensed voice: "Please rest assured, the lord will not disgrace his life." ”

Ma Yue nodded and said sharply, "Go quickly!" ”

Wang Fang arched his hand at the horse, turned and rode away, and disappeared under the night sky in less than a moment.

Ma Yue said again: "Gan Ning, Zhang Bao, and Chen Hu listen to the order. ”

The three generals of Gan Ning hurriedly rode forward, lined up in front of Ma Yue, and responded quickly: "The last general will be." ”

"Lead the Jinfan Navy and Jiangxia Navy to trace the Huaishui (on the ancient map, the Huaishui seems to be a tributary of the Yangtze River, which flows into the Yangtze River near Qu'a), and now it is the head of Jiangdong, and there is no decent Navy nearby (before Sun Jian became the master, Jiangdong did not have a decent Navy Army), we must seize the time to pack up the captured Jingzhou Navy Army, Yuzhang Navy and Jiujiang Navy Army properly, and those who surrender sincerely join the gang, and those who do not want to surrender ......"

Ma Yue said this, his eyes were cold and murderous.

Gan Ning understood, and said fiercely: "The last general understands." ”

Ma Yue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The water army and the land army need to keep in touch at all times and echo each other!" ”

Gan Ning said loudly: "Obey." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand and said sharply: "Let's go!" ”

Gan Ning, Chen Hu, and Zhang Bao rushed to Ma Yue and led the Jinfan thief and Jiangxia thief away.

Ma Yue finally turned to the six thousand Xiliang Iron Horsemen who stood silently, his eyes showed a beast-like hideousness, and he said sharply: "Brothers, thousands of miles of looting are just for food!" Right now...... The whole Jiangdong has opened its arms to you, and she is like a beautiful girl, already stripped naked and waiting for you to lie down and her! ”

"Hahaha~~"

Six thousand soldiers burst into laughter.

Although Ma Yue's words are vulgar, they can always easily provoke the beast surnames of these tiger and wolf disciples.

"Don't hesitate, don't retreat, don't be merciful, let go of your hands and feet to rob, burn, and kill~~" Ma Yue suddenly changed his words and shouted, "But there is one thing, you can rest assured and bold to kill the warriors and rob the gatekeeper, but you are absolutely not allowed to rob the poor people!" If anyone dares to harm the poor people, don't blame General Ben for not recognizing people, even if he is the king of heaven, General Ben will still cut off his dog's head! ”

The horse butcher has been released.

After the Luoyang Shock, Ma Yue has already borne the notoriety of killing hundreds of officials, although Cao Ying, Yuan Shao and others know that there is another hidden secret, but they will not consider clearing the reputation of the horse butcher at all! There are also court officials like Cai Yong who survived, but this gentleman has no intention of clearing Ma Yue's infamy, then again, now even the Son of Heaven has been exiled to Xuchang, Cai Yong is held hostage by the horse butcher, who will believe what he says?

In view of this, no matter what Ma Yue does, it is impossible for the world's corporal clan to have any good impression of him, since this is already the case, it is better to kill the surname Suo and grab a good one! And this ...... It is also the biggest reason why the horse butcher made a surprise attack to disturb the flank of the coalition army, and its purpose is nothing more than to loot the land of Xu Yang and even Yanzhong and Yuzhong in a carpet way, even if it cannot uproot the power of the Shi clan in the Central Plains, it will also greatly damage its vitality.

……

Chang'an, Ma Teng's official residence.

Xu Huang, Fa Zhen, Fu Xie, Hu Chi'er and other civil and military generals have gathered in the hall.

Since Ma Yue and Jia Xu led the army to the expedition, Ma Teng handed over the entire Liangzhou to Fu Zhu, led the army out of Chang'an, sat in Guanzhong, and ordered Xu Huang and Fa Zhen to reject Hanzhong according to Chen Cang and Xiegu, and Fu Xie and Hu Chi'er to reject Jingxiang according to Wuguan.

At the end of the fourth year (192) of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yueqi's soldiers broke through the Wuguan and defeated the four-way coalition army of Liu Biao, Li Xuan, Chen Ji and Xu Gong.

In February of the following year, Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu led 8,000 troops from his younger brother Zhang Wei out of Chencang, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan, and the second son Liu Dan led 30,000 troops out of the valley, and attacked Guanzhong together, Xu Huang was defeated in ten battles, lured the enemy deep, broke the West Road coalition army in Wuzhangyuan, beheaded 8,000, captured 20,000, Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan, and the second son Liu Dan were all killed by Xu Huang.

At this point, the coalition forces of the south and west roads were broken, and the coalition forces of the north route were delayed, and only the coalition forces of the middle route confronted Ma Chao and Jia Xu in Yingchuan, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while. When Ma Teng rectified the military horses in Guanzhong and was about to send a letter to Guguan to rescue Luoyang, Jia Xu sent someone to send an urgent letter with an expedited amount of 800 miles.

In the hall of the official residence, Ma Yue opened the book in front of everyone and hurriedly finished reading it, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

Hu Chi'er's surname was anxious, and he couldn't help but ask: "General, what did the military advisor's letter say?" ”

Ma Teng put the book on the table and said, "The military advisor wants us to change our plan and go north to Hetao to meet General Fang Yue!" ”

"Answering General Fang Yue?" Hu Chi'er wondered, "Didn't General Fang Yue just send someone to deliver a military report, and the Northern Route Coalition Army has not moved?" Moreover, the north of the Hetao is in the desert, with the 50,000 iron cavalry of the two generals Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao as the backing, what kind of climate can the four-way coalition army of Zhang Ji, Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang, and Kong Rong become? ”

Fu Xie thought deeply and said: "The Northern Route Coalition Army has not seen action for a long time, so it is particularly worthy of vigilance!" ”

"It's not just because of the Northern Route Alliance!" Ma Teng said in a condensed voice, "The letter from the military advisor said that the general Yuan Shao and the prime minister Cao Ying have left Yingchuan, and the middle road coalition army has been completely handed over to the hussar general Yuan Shu to command, and the prime minister Cao Ying has secretly led the army to Jingzhou, trying to be unfavorable to Boqi, and now he has been defeated by Boqi, but the general Yuan Shao has never shown up!" ”

Fa Zhen's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "In other words, Yuan Shao is likely to secretly return to Jizhou, secretly mobilize elite troops, and then cooperate with the Northern Route Coalition Army to raid the old camp in Hetao?" ”

"That's exactly what Berzie and the military advisor were worried about!" Ma Teng said in a deep voice, "That's why I want to lead the army north to the Hetao and respond to General Fang Yue." In the letter, the military adviser also said that although the situation in Yingchuan was not good, it was not bad enough to be dangerous, and that Boqi's army had successfully escaped Cao Ying's encirclement and interception, and was about to go straight down the river to Jiangdong, and would soon be able to show its might, and I believed that the war in the Central Plains would soon change dramatically. ”

Xu Huang said loudly: "Since this is the meaning of the lord and the military advisor, then there is nothing to say, we just do it, what does General Shoucheng think?" ”

"That's what General Ben meant." Ma Teng nodded and said, "After the army is launched, Guanzhong will ask General Gongming and Mr. Gao Qing (Fazhen Biaozi)." ”

Xu Huang and Fa Zhen stood up, hugged their fists and said: "Please rest assured General Shoucheng, the last general (below) will never be dishonored." ”

……

ps: Recently, a reader suggested that the gossip array was too fake, but the swordsman didn't think so.

In fact, the Bagua Array is just one of the marching formations, but it is a more complex large array composed of many formations! However, if the enemy army does not attack, it will of course be of little use. But when the two armies are fighting, there is always a reason to attack, or there is no food and grass, or the rear is unstable, etc., and at this time these formations can show their power.

Of course, Guo Jianeng has trained hundreds of thousands of coalition troops in just a few months, which is indeed impossible, and it is understandable that readers have this reaction, but everyone is still in a hurry, I believe that after reading today's chapter, everyone will know that in fact, Guo Jiabu's gossip array only has its shape, but not its god.

Finally, the evil word said that everyone was angry, the consequences were serious, and the swordsman was happy

(To be continued)
