Chapter 165: Nine Palaces Bagua Array (Second Update)
Southern part of Zhangwu grassland
The 220,000 army set up a formation, overwhelming, the Tianci army faced the east, the Wuheng iron cavalry faced the west, and after the armies of the two sides, there was the camp that had just been erected.
This time, Ji Liang is the commander of Wuheng's 100,000 army, although Ji Liang is a Hu person, but he greatly admires Han culture, specializes in the Han art of war and the "Wenwang Bagua Array" handed down by his ancestors. "In this war, Ji Liang understands very well that Xu Sheng is not allowed to win, if he loses, Ji Liang has no status in Liu Tai's heart, if there is no help from Liu Tai, Ji Liang alone is a Hu person, and he will not be able to repay the ruthlessness of the slaughter clan for eternity.
And the strange thing is that this time the Tianci Army had to be defeated, because the real target of the Northern Xinjiang Army's foreign campaign this time was not Wuheng, but the four counties of Liaodong! Lure the snake out of the hole, kill with one hit!
As long as Gongsun Du of Liaodong does not die, and the four counties of Liaodong, including the subject countries of Liaodong, do not return to Liu Tai's rule, Liu Tai will not be able to truly crusade against the giants in the north, Xianbei Sanbu! And if you can't defeat the three Xianbei tribes, you can turn the prairie into the back garden of the Han people, which is ridiculous and generous.
In fact, the strategy of attacking the four counties of Liaodong and a subject country was planned by Liu Tai a long time ago, but it was a little ahead of time, in Liu Tai's plan, the conquest of a subject country in the four counties of Liaodong was arranged after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion passed, the majesty of the imperial court was lost, and the princes of the world each went through their own soldiers and horses, waiting for the Emperor Ling to return to heaven. But I don't think that the attitude of the imperial court towards the northern Xinjiang has changed too quickly, if Liu Tai doesn't quickly clean up Gongsun Du, and when the imperial army and Gongsun Du attack the northern Xinjiang, then Liu Tai will definitely take care of one and lose the other, and even be completely dragged to death by the two armies.
Therefore, in order to clear his worries, Liu Tai had to crusade against Gongsun Du, which was proposed by Tian Feng, but it was also seen by the ministers, although Liu Tai has always wanted to crusade against Gongsun Du, but there is no good excuse, is it possible to openly rebel?
Now Wu Heng has given Liu Tai an excellent excuse, isn't Gongsun Du the captain of Wu Heng? If Wuheng is destroyed, how will Gongsun Du explain to Yuan Kui and others? However, in order to prevent Gongsun Du from posing as a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, defending Liaodong and ignoring Liu Tai's Northern Xinjiang Army, Liu Tai can only defeat the last game, but he can't lose too badly, and lose thousands of soldiers and horses to make a show, so that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan can see that the Northern Xinjiang Army is not invincible, it will also be defeated, and it can also be defeated!
In this way, you can relax the defense of Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du, after all, Liu Tai understands very well that Gongsun Chan, Gongsun Du and Wu Heng's Dang Dun, if the three parties join forces, there will be 350,000 soldiers and horses, which is three times more than the central army of Liu Tai who is now crusading against Wuheng in the east. Well, of course, there is no way to take Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan for the time being.
To get back to the point, now the armies of both sides have set up a position on the battlefield, and the 100,000 troops of Wuheng have come from thousands of miles, but they do not attack mainly, but put on a defensive formation, with smoke and dust billowing inside, countless battle flags, and the Wuheng cavalry, who is good at horse warfare, actually abandoned their horses and fought on foot, and they don't know what tricks they played.
The Heavenly Army
Liu Tai held the Overlord Halberd in his hand (it will be called the Overlord Halberd in the future, Fang Tian's painting halberd will clash with Lu Bu's weapons in the later stage), sitting on top of the war horse Thor, wearing the Overlord armor, holding the hero sword at his waist, and staring coldly at the Wuheng Army Array!
Deputy General Dian Wei, Forward General Wen Chou, and Military Division Xi Zhicai, all three of them rode war horses and walked beside Liu Tai, seeing the formation of the Wuheng Heng army, Xi Zhicai frowned deeply, and after thinking carefully, his expression was stunned, and he looked at Liu Tai in astonishment and said: "Lord, isn't this formation a gossip array?" ”
"Bagua Array??" Liu Tai looked stunned, and looked at Xi Zhicai with a puzzled face, Hu people don't talk about the formation, even the army is loosely managed, how can the gossip array be said, could it be that there is also a demon in Wuheng "Zhuge Liang?" ”
"Well, the array laid by this enemy general should be the ancient strange array gossip array, but the person who set up this gossip array only learned the fur of the gossip array, and dared to come out to offer ugliness, which is really ridiculous and generous!" Xi Zhicai carefully looked at the gossip again, and said with a wry smile on his face,
"Oh? So, the gossip array is very broken? Liu Tai's eyes flashed with joy, although he had also seen Xu Shu's method of breaking the gossip array in later generations, but the gossip array was ever-changing, with his own knowledge of the formation that was not even the last stream, it was better not to make jokes.
"Lord, it's not difficult to break it, but the problem is that it can't be broken." Xi Zhicai touched his nose bitterly, Liu Tai also nodded with a wry smile on his face, who told himself to set the rule that only defeat is allowed and no victory, it seems that he is angry this time, and the most important thing is that there are a group of elite sergeants in the Tianci army, Liu Tai personally put them into the formation and sent them to death, how can Liu Tai feel good? However, if you are not toxic and not a husband, if you want to become a hegemon, you must first be ruthless, even if Liu Tai is uncomfortable, what if she is uncomfortable? The damned will die, and the undeserving will die.
"Hey" Xi Zhicai saw Liu Tai's wry smile, and shook his head helplessly, the cavalry troops of the Tianci Army were milked by Liu Tai, accumulated little by little, in the last battle of the Southern Huns, the cavalry lost more than 10,000, and Liu Tai almost lost sleep for more than a week, not to mention that Liu Tai, who was the commander-in-chief this time, wanted to send a group of elite cavalry to death? Not to mention Liu Tai's heartache, Xi Zhicai, a military advisor, is also heartbroken
"Lord, the Bagua Array is divided into the Nine Palaces Bagua Array and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, but the Nine Palaces Bagua Array is passed down by Zhou Wen Wang Ji Chang, it has been a long time, and the array is extremely cumbersome, at least more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, resulting in the Nine Palaces Bagua Array has long been lost, but after many drills by Sun Bin, a soldier of the Qi State, the power of the Bagua Array was weakened and turned into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!" Xi Zhicai explained the origin of the gossip array, and then continued to look at Wu Heng's formation.
"Kill, kill, kill!!" In the gossip array, the Wuheng infantry shouted to the sky, and one by one they were driven by the momentum, and walked a few steps in the direction of the Tianci army, but under the constraints of the commander Ji Liang, they stopped again, set up a formation in place, and waited for the Tianci army to break into the formation.
"Hi" I saw that Xi Zhicai's expression changed, as if he had discovered something, he opened his mouth, looked at Liu Tai with a wry smile on his face and said: "Lord, this is the Nine Palaces Bagua Array that has been lost for thousands of years, although it has less than one or two essences, but it is not something that can be broken between ministers!" ”
Liu Tai raised his eyebrows, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, Liu Tai had also heard of the name of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, but as far as Liu Tai knew, the Nine Palaces Bagua Array was created by Zhuge Liang, and it was 108,000 miles different from Zhou Wen Wang Jichang.
"There is no need to break into the formation for the time being, first boil up the Wuheng Army, and then Zhicai will tell General Ben about the Nine Palace Bagua Array." Liu Tai closed his eyes, vigorously recalled the method of breaking the formation of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array in the network in the later generations, and said with a delay.
"Yes, my lord!" Xi Zhicai nodded, although he thought he couldn't break it, but he still knew a little about the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and then said out loud: "Lord, the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, also known as the Jiuqu Yellow River Array, is formed into a square, the sidewalk is five feet, a small array covers an area of five to eight acres, and the large array is ten times and a hundred times overturned, the more people, the greater the power, it is rumored that in the past, the son of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen, King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu set up a nine-palace gossip array with an army of 500,000 to the east, and besieged the millions of troops of the King of Zhou in the array, if it weren't for Jiang Taigong, he couldn't bear to lose millions of lives, Let it go, I'm afraid that the battle of King Wu's Eastern Crusade will be over a long time ago. ”
