Chapter 17: The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array

However, it was said that Dong Zhuo and Han Sui's two armies had won and lost each other, and continued to fight against each other, fighting for many days and suffering casualties from each other, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while. Because his army came from afar, if the food and grass were not good for a long time, he had to withdraw on his own, and Han Sui had his back to Xiliang, the grain and grass were abundant, and the logistics support was strong, the more he delayed, the more he had a chance of winning, he just wanted to use this protracted war to drag Dong Zhuo to death, Dong Zhuo was deeply aware of this, he convened the generals overnight to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and the generals couldn't come up with any good ideas, Guan Yun stood aside, seeing that the generals were silent, Dong Zhuo said: "Don't worry, lord!" Tomorrow's challenge, the last general only needs to lay out the formation, and Han Sui will be defeated! ”

Dong Zhuo was curious when he heard this: "Yun Chang has a strange trick?" ”

"Don't worry, you just need to watch a good show tomorrow!" Guan Yun said with confidence.

It turns out that Guan Yun has been thinking about one thing these days, what is it? That is to study a formation, what formation? That is the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array", this "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array" is a kind of formation of Cao Renbu in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was later broken by Xu Shu, although so ordinary people have not studied it in depth, it is impossible to break this formation, Guan Yun has a certain understanding of the knowledge of the five elements of the gossip before reading the "Book of Changes", although he is not very proficient but can roughly know the Tao one or two, and then linked to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he read, Guan Yun began to have a certain understanding of the formation of the eight golden lock arrays, These days, he also used his soldiers to constantly deduce this formation, and soon a kind of "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array" formation that he created himself brewed out, this is the second time Guan Yun has been ordered to be in danger, if this time is successful, he will take another step forward.

This night, Guan Yun wandered outside the tent again, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, there was no desolation before, Guan Yun's mood was the same as this weather, this time he no longer had the worry and panic of the previous time, and replaced it with self-confidence and complacency. Millions of soldiers in the chest', although he has not reached this realm now, but for tomorrow's battle he still holds the handle, the eight doors of the golden lock array has been brewing countless times in his heart, and the actual soldiers have practiced many times, for the formation he is already familiar with the heart, tomorrow's battle he has enough confidence to win, and then for his future to add to the cake again

On the second day, as scheduled, Dong Zhuo's army continued to challenge in front of the battle, and Bian Zhang was about to fight, but Han Sui stopped: "Brother Xian can't fight again!" Dong Zhuo came from afar to benefit from a quick battle, if we insist on competing with it, it is in Dong Zhuo's arms, now we should only hold on to it and not fight again, Dong Zhuo's army came from afar, the supply of grain and grass is not good, and there are no reinforcements, and the delay will be without a fight and retreat, at that time we will be ready to attack, and attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop, this is the best policy! ”

"Brother, it's bad! We have been fighting with Dong Zhuo for days, the momentum is flourishing, the soldiers are all moving forward, the morale of the army is inspired, the people's hearts are fighting to the death, if you sit still and wait for death is the way to your own destruction, so we must take this opportunity to fight with Dong Zhuo, if he develops the strength it will be really difficult to deal with, and the result of our previous hard battle will also end, so this time we must fight! Bian Zhang argued.

Han Sui saw that Bian Zhang insisted on going to war, so he said: "Since the virtuous brother insists on fighting, then we can't do it like this, the virtuous brother brought Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and others to fight, and I and Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, and Yang Qiu will respond in the back to prevent accidents!" ”

"Brother Tai has a very good intention!" After Bian Zhang finished speaking, he led the seven people to rush towards Dong Zhuo's army.

The two armies soon encountered, and set up the formation in turn, Bian Zhang joined hands with the next seven generals to go out of the front of the battle, Dong Zhuo and the generals also came out of the front of the battle, and Bian Zhang saw this and wanted to lead the crowd to rush to kill, but at this time he saw a group of men and horses behind Dong Zhuo rushing out of the front of the formation, and he couldn't help but put up the formation, or 3 or 5 people or dozens or hundreds of people, or holding shields or knives and guns and holding bows and arrows, and the whole team was arranged into a phalanx, but saw the soldiers of the whole team walking back and forth in the formation, or advancing or retreating, or static or moving, and it seemed that they were not in order and did not follow the rules. But sometimes it is neat and uniform, advancing in turn, faintly, virtual and real, and after a while, it will be in front of Bian Zhang's army to set up a shelf, and at the same time, I saw Dong Zhuo's army in front of the prancing horse, and several soldiers holding flags of various colors appeared around him at the same time, constantly fiddling with the flags against the phalanx, Bian Zhang saw clearly that the person was none other than Guan Yu - Guan Yunchang, who defeated Yan Xing before. …,

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is based on the law of change of the five elements of the Bagua, the so-called: the Eight Gates: rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening. If you enter from the birth gate, the view gate, and open the door, it is auspicious; If you enter from the injured door, the shocked door, or the closed door, you will be injured; From the door of Dumen, the door of death and the people

Lose. Therefore, people who don't understand the law of the five elements gossip see this formation, and naturally don't know the essentials, Guan Yunbu's eight-door golden lock array has no special advantages, but it is indeed difficult to block in front of people who don't understand, as if there is a barrier in front, Bian Zhang saw Guan Yun's array, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he looked at the eight-door golden lock array and pondered the way to break the formation, as the saying goes, "Look at the doorway inside the door, and look lively outside the door", Bian Zhang, who didn't understand the method of the Five Elements Bagua at all, relied on his many years of military career and combat experience to begin to study Guan Yun's Eight Gate Golden Lock Array.

Bian Zhang studied it for a while, and couldn't help but think: With this kind of pediatrics, I really underestimated the old man, he observed for a while, and then instructed his subordinate generals: "I saw that there are eight gates in this array, it should be a gossip array, we can only attack from the front, but one of the four doors on the front must be a raw gate, but we can't be sure which one is a raw door, so we have to take the risk of testing, so these four doors can not give up, they have to attack, Liang Xing, candidates, Cheng Yin, Li Kanru four people led the soldiers to attack these four gates respectively." , I from Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Play from the back to respond, we help each other, each other for the horns, if there is a case we will be the first time to go to the rescue to break this formation, as long as you enter the door and then the army then cover up, in order to mess with it, then this array will be chaotic, the formation will lose the effect of resisting the enemy, we can break this formation! ”

Liang Xing, candidates, Cheng Yin, Li Kan attacked the four gates, Liang Xing attacked the southeast gate, the candidate attacked the east gate, Cheng Yin attacked the northeast gate, Li Chen attacked the south gate, the four people and four people rushed to the four gates, Guan Yun saw the four people rushing to the front of the formation, and waved to the flag bearer, the flag bearer immediately understood, the color flag in his hand began to wave, and the changing posture was constantly changing, but at this time, he saw that the entire phalanx suddenly began to change the formation, and the soldiers surged, Everyone seemed to be looking for their own suitable position, so that the soldiers who originally stayed in the four gates changed their positions, but they still formed four gates, Liang Xing and the others did not take it to heart when they saw this, they just rushed to the four gates, and after rushing in, the flag bearer around Guan Yun waved the flag again, only to see the soldiers in the formation change their positions again, and at the same time began to sweep the enemy soldiers who came in, Liang Xing and others seemed to fall into the whirlpool all of a sudden, and were immediately swept in, and this encirclement is getting tighter and tighter, Liang Xingzhong was suddenly panicked and trapped in his heart
