Chapter Eighty-Three: Eight Formations After the Wind, the Method of Breaking the Formation
Outside Shouchun City, before Cao Cao's camp
Liu Xiu, Cao Cao and others were discussing how to attack Shouchun, but they saw that Yuan Shu suddenly sent troops to provoke; And it was --- Jiling who came this time who came under Yuan Shu's number one general
After the fighting general, Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin was killed by Ji Ling and in front of the battle; And Cao Cao's Xiahou was angry and went out to fight, although he won, but he didn't expect to fall into Yuan Shu's plan to lure the enemy, and he was trapped in the big array and didn't come out
No matter who sees the large array set up by Yuan Shu's people, they can know the stakes in it, but when they see the wolf smoke billowing in the array, people can't see the truth and the void; There are also soldiers flashing, swords and soldiers everywhere, so that people can't see the soldiers and horses clearly;
As soon as Xiahoudun and other Cao generals led thousands of vanguards into the battle, they could no longer know where they came from, and could only continue to fall into it as the formation of the Yuan army changed; Even those thousands of soldiers and horses are dying and decreasing all the time
At this time, Cao Cao, who was outside the formation, saw that thousands of people under his command, including generals, disappeared as soon as they entered the big array, and after a long time, he still didn't see Xiahoudun and others, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, and immediately ordered: "Xuande, Fengxian, and the two virtuous nephews will follow me to the arrow tower to take a look, and see what kind of ability this Yuan Shu has, and dare to march in front of you and me!" ”
"Good!" Liu Xiu and the others naturally responded, this camp was not a high ground before, and it can be said that they only saw a pinch of dust and wolf smoke
Not long after, Liu Xiu, Cao Cao and others had already climbed the arrow tower several zhang high, and at this time, looking at the large array laid by Yuan Shu from a distance, it was a different scene, a scene full of crises and trapped everywhere
Liu Xiu looked at the big array, and saw that this array was composed of eight major formations, but there was endless dust and wolf smoke in the array, and it was impossible to see the real reality at all, and the traces of Xiahoudun and others were only a shadow, but judging from the number of people, everyone also knew that Xiahoudun and other Cao generals were already in danger!
Such a strong situation is indeed unexpected by everyone, among which Cao Cao is the worst, although he did not show it on his lips, but he was very anxious in his heart, and before he looked at the big array, he began to discuss in a whisper with many strategists behind him
Liu Xiu was naturally not idle, and discussed with Liu Bowen behind him, Liu Xiu asked in a low voice: "Berwin, do you know this formation?" This array looks extremely dangerous, and I don't know how many dangers are hidden inside! It's not easy! ”
In recent years, Liu Xiu has also obtained some books such as military books and battle formations from the system small lottery, although he has often studied a lot carefully, but after all, it is only some common formations such as the ten ancient formations, crane wings, fish scales, and front loss, and he really doesn't know how to play this formation first!
Liu Bowen carefully observed this formation from the beginning, and when he heard Liu Xiu's question, he frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "This array should be the eight formations after the wind, passed from the ancient Yellow Emperor's "Grip Qi Sutra", which is the earliest battle array, and there have been countless masters of the art of war based on it, and have comprehended the battle formations of the art of war that are consistent with their own personalities, such as the Taigong Array in the "Taigong Art of War", the Five Elements Array in the "Sima Law", the Bagua Array in the "Art of War" and so on; And this array is the same, based on the eight formations after the wind, combined with many battle formations of the art of war, and even added the Qimen Dunjia and other methods of using the right time and place, and made special changes, and it has become a family of its own, which is very powerful! ”
"Eight formations after the wind? Eight Array Diagrams?! Liu Xiu was also surprised, this eight-array diagram is so famous, Liu Xiu has naturally heard of it, but he has never seen it, and he thought that only Zhuge Liang would come
"Exactly!" Liu Bowen sighed in a low voice: "It's just that I didn't expect that there would be such a strange person in Yuan Shu's army, and it would be extremely difficult to break through this formation, Cao Cao had a headache this time!" ”
"It's so powerful?!" Liu Xiu was extremely surprised, in his previous life, it was said that Zhuge Liang blocked Lu Xun's 100,000 army by forming eight formations with stones, although it was just a legend, but it could also be seen that it was powerful, not to mention that it was Lu Xun who was blocked!
Liu Xiu pondered, and asked again: "Then I don't know if Berwyn knows how to break the formation?" ”
Liu Bowen shook his head slightly and said: "The so-called 'there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts', this formation is mainly based on the battle formation, but although I have practiced the marching battle formation, it is not my strength;"
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but then he heard Liu Bowen chuckle and said: "However, this formation is mainly based on the Qimen Dunjia to make changes, although it is not easy for me to break him, it is just a little more effort!" And if this formation is not based on Qimen Dunjia as the main change, I am afraid that General Wei will have to come at that time! ”
As soon as Liu Xiu heard what Liu Bowen said again, his brows immediately relaxed, but he had some more doubts and fears about this strange man in Yuan Shujun!
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment again, and chuckled: "This time, you can take a good look at the abilities of many strategists under Cao Cao!" ”
And just as Liu Xiu thought, Cao Cao also learned the origin of this array from his subordinates, among which Guo Jia was naturally the worst;
I only heard Guo Jia frown and report to Cao Cao: "The people I know, those who know this formation are only the number of hands, but if they are proficient, they are only two or three!" The rest are either refined in governance, or refined in planning, or refined in calculation; Just because we want to cultivate such advanced battle formations and Qimen Dunjia, even with our ability, it will take a lot of time to achieve something; Therefore, although we know this, we are not very proficient! I didn't expect that there would be such a person in Yuan Shu's army who was so proficient in the Eight Formations of the Wind Queen, it was really curious! ”
"Then I don't know if Feng Xiao knows how to break this formation?" When Cao Cao heard what Guo Jia said, he was slightly anxious, and asked how to break the formation.
"Right now, there are a lot of changes in this formation, if you talk about the real way to break the formation, I can't understand it for a while;" Guo Jia frowned and replied.
When Cao Cao heard this, his heart became even more anxious, and he quickly said, "How is this good?!" ”
Guo Jia saw that his lord was anxious, and couldn't help but say: "Now that General Xiahou and the others are in the middle of the battle, when they are in danger, they can only break it by attacking by force!" ”
"How to storm it?" Cao Cao asked again.
Guo Jia said slowly: "Although this array is covered by wolf smoke, but looking at its military appearance, there are no more than 20,000 horses at most, and the lord can send the whole army to attack from the periphery and continue to kill and injure the Yuan army, presumably the 20,000 Yuan army, which is not even as good as ordinary soldiers, will not be long before it will be defeated and flee!" It's just that it takes a lot of time to implement this law, and General Xiahou may not be able to wait, so you have to hurry up! ”
Guo Jia finished speaking in one breath, without pausing, and said again: "The lord can first order the whole army to prepare, and then ask Liu Xiu, Sun Ce and others to see if there is a way to crack it!" Fang Cai Guo Jia saw the smiles of Liu Xiu and the others, so he concluded that Liu Xiu might have a way to break the formation
