Chapter 435: The Fierce War (2)
Fighting soldiers, tigers and leopards are defeated; Fighting generals, Zhao Yun picked off Cao Xing with one shot, and before the fierce battle between the two sides officially began, the morale of the Han army had already thrown off a few streets of the Cao army and steadily suppressed the Cao army. Two wins in three games, now the victory and defeat have been divided, Cao Xing, as one of the promisers, died unexpectedly, this gambling fight, it is obvious that the Han army has taken the lead.
When the 200,000 Han troops were thundering, the monarchs of both sides, Ao Lie and Cao Cao, came to the battlefield at the same time, surrounded by their own personal guards. Cao Cao glanced at Cao Xing, who was on the battlefield, and then withdrew his gaze and cast his eyes on Ao Lie's body.
"King Yan's command is really a brave soldier, but I wonder if King Yan is interested in continuing this unfinished bet with the lone general?" Cao Cao's face was as plain as water, and he did not have any fluctuations because of Cao Xing's death, and shouted loudly to Ao Lie on the other side of the battlefield.
Ao Lie smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Since the king of Wei is interested, this king should accompany him." It's just that since it's a gambling fight, there must always be a lottery head, but I don't know what King Wei uses to make a lottery head? ”
Cao Cao didn't answer and asked: "Then it depends on whether King Yan wants to play a little smaller or a bigger one, I don't know what choice King Yan intends to make?" ”
Ao Lie smiled freely: "Mengde, you and I are both kings, if the bet is too small, I'm afraid we will laugh and be generous, so let's have a big gamble, if you win, the four counties of Jizhou connected to Wei County will be your territory in the future; But if you lose, this king wants your Wei County plus Shangyong and other three counties in Jingzhou! Mengde, do you dare to bet? ”
Ao Lie's words made all the cultural relics generals under Cao Cao's face change, this is a real gamble, the territory of the four counties can almost be worth half of the state, if it was placed ten years ago, when the heroes rose together, they could create a powerful prince, but today. was so lightly taken out by Ao Lie as a bet!
In the Cao army array, there was only one person whose facial expression did not change at all, and he still maintained his due composure, and this person was undoubtedly Cao Cao. Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, his mind is much broader than Liu Bei, and he never accounts for the gains and losses of one city or one place, so in the face of the bet put forward by Ao Lie, Cao Cao only thought about it a little. So he agreed: "Okay! I'll make a bet with you! ”
In front of nearly 500,000 soldiers on both sides, once a commitment is made, there is no room for turn, as a monarch, a promise is necessary, so few monarchs or princes make such a bet when the two armies are facing each other, but Ao Lie and Cao Cao just did this, in addition to the magnificent bearing of the two, enough trust in the subordinate soldiers and confidence in their on-the-spot command ability. It is also an important reason why they dare to make promises, and they all firmly believe that the winners of this bet in the end will definitely be their own soldiers.
Ao Lie slowly pulled down the dragon mask from his helmet. An impassioned voice came from behind the hideous mask: "Burn incense!" All the advisors have retreated to the rear! "Since it is a bet between two monarchs, others naturally cannot interfere, lest the advisers give advice and affect the final result, the commander of this battle. It can only be Ao Lie and Cao Cao! As for burning incense, it is the rule of the fighting array that has been handed down since ancient times, within a stick of incense. It is the time for the monarchs of both sides to arrange their troops, and when a stick of incense burns out, it is the time when the soldiers of both sides start a desperate fight!
On the other side, Cao Cao also issued the same order to his subordinates, and all the advisers retreated to the rear army, leaving only a group of generals, under Cao Cao's command, and began to rearrange the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. The eight generals of the Cao army, headed by the Xiahou brothers, each led a troop of 10,000 people, according to the eight methods of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, and arranged in eight directions, and guarded Cao Cao in the middle, and Li Jin and Yue Xi were guarded on the left and right sides of Cao Cao, leading 20,000 tiger guards, forming a large array. As soon as the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was unfolded, a killing aura was revealed from the large array, and the eight magic arrays slowly operated under the drive of the central array.
When Cao Cao had just commanded his soldiers to line up, Ao Lie had already guessed that Cao Cao was going to set up an eight-gate golden lock array. Don't forget, Zhen Yi, one of Ao Lie's father-in-law, but the descendants of Guiguzi, Zhen Yi left his ancestors and was regarded as the supreme treasure of the Zhen family "Thirteen Chapters of Guigu" completely handed over to Ao Lie, Ao Lie was in retreat in Yanjing Academy for a year and a half, and devoted himself to studying this strange book, and the mystery of the formation inherited by Guiguzi, a formation master who has not been encountered for thousands of years, has long been familiar with it in his heart Zhuge Liang. If Cao Cao had known this in advance, he would not have confidently proposed this bet to Ao Lie. Although Cao Cao was also a great military strategist, and even wrote a military book with unique insights such as "Twenty-four Chapters of Mengde", it was far from enough compared to the depth recorded in "Thirteen Chapters of Ghost Valley".
In the "Thirteen Chapters of the Ghost Valley", the most profound and difficult formation is called the Nine Palaces Bagua Serial Array, this formation, there is another name, called Qimen Dunjia Array, which is composed of three parts: Qi, Door, and Dunjia, of which "Qi" refers to the three odds of heaven, earth, and people; "Door" refers to the mystery of Cao Cao's eight golden lock arrays - rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening the eight gates; "Dunjia" refers to the six parts of Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin.
Qimen Dunjia array is roughly divided into two large frameworks of Yin Dun and Yang Dun, each part is composed of nine arranged nine-square grid squares, when fighting with the enemy, the Yang array is in the light, attracting the enemy's attention and firepower, and the Yin array is hidden behind the Yang array, while supporting and ambulating the Yang array, it is also necessary to find the opponent's flaws, and at the right time, issue a fatal blow to the enemy. Yin and Yang two parts, each part has eight kinds of changes, is called the method of the Bagua cycle, when the whole large array is running, the nine palaces multiplied by the eight trigrams, enough can evolve seventy-two kinds of changes, can be called the magic array of heaven and earth, just from the Qimen Dunjia array in a "door" word, has Cao Cao discharged the eight doors of the golden lock array included, it is enough to prove the wonder of the Qimen Dunjia array. If it weren't for Ao Lie's spiritual power that had undergone the transformation of another dimensional space when he first crossed over, it would have been impossible for him to use this complicated magic circle freely, going through the ages, and even advancing backwards for a thousand years. I'm afraid that only Guiguzi alone can set up this big array!
Ao Lie handed over his left hand, stretched out his right hand and continuously gestured in the air, while his brain was running at high speed, calculating every change in the Nine Palaces Bagua Serial Array in his heart, and while giving orders in sign language, according to the interconnection of Qi, Men and Dunjia, the various phalanxes were closely linked, which required Ao Lie to make a lot of information judgments, and it was also necessary to ask him to the characteristics of each military general under his command, the characteristics of each army, and even the characteristics of every low-level officer. It is necessary to have an accurate understanding in order to do it, which military general and which military general usually cooperate more tacitly, which army and which army can complement each other perfectly, and who is combined with whom will stimulate the chemical reaction...... In just a stick of incense, Ao Lie exhausted countless brain cells, and finally at the moment when the sandalwood was about to burn out, the complicated Nine Palaces Bagua Array was arranged.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei took 10,000 blood to kill the army, as the eyes of the entire array, in a half-moon shape for the guards around Ao Lie's body; Left. Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Tai Shici and other eight generals each led 10,000 Han troops, according to the Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui gossip pattern formed Yang Dun, the Yang array is led by Lu Bu 20,000 dragon heavy cavalry; On the right side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Gan Ning and other eight generals also led 10,000 Han troops each. The order of the gossip was reversed, forming a reverse eight-array diagram, forming a yin escape hidden behind the yang array, and the yin array was composed of 10,000 bloody slaughter troops led by Zhao Yun and 10,000 elite cavalry.
The moment when the Nine Palaces Bagua Serial Array was successfully arranged. The murderous aura emanating from the Han army in the big array rushed straight to the sky, and it actually made the wind and clouds change color! If Cao Cao's eight-gate golden lock array is compared to a steel knife that exudes a murderous aura. Then Ao Lie's Nine Palace Bagua Serial Array is very similar to the overlord gun in his hand - simple and heavy, but it is incomparably sharp!
Cao Cao took a cursory look at the large array of the Han army, and he was surprised to find that the large array discharged by the Han army under the command of Ao Lie actually contained the mystery of his own Eight Golden Lock Array, as if the Eight Golden Lock Array that he had painstakingly researched was only a part of the opponent's battle array. With just a cursory glance, Cao Cao keenly felt that the battle array of the Han army was a kind of ancient strange array that he had only seen in his life.
Without waiting for Cao Cao to make further observations, the Han army's Nine Palace Bagua Serial Array, under the command of Ao Lie's overlord gun, crushed the Cao army, Cao Cao had no choice but to put away his mind to observe the Han army's battle array, and began to prepare to deal with the Han army's large array, after all, at this moment, it was already ready to be sent, and Cao Cao had no other choice.
The soldiers on both sides approached each other with angry eyes, and the fingers holding the weapons in their hands had begun to turn white because of the excessive force. One hundred steps...... Eighty steps...... Fifty paces, when the two sides were fifty paces away, the soldiers on both sides invariably began to speed up the frequency of their feet, trotting to running, and from running to sprinting, and at the same time, bursts of angry roars roared out of the mouths of the soldiers on both sides, as if they wanted to tear each other apart with sound.
In the Cao army's big array, there was only one kind of cry: "Kill!" Kill!! Kill!!! More than 200,000 Cao Jun roared this same word in unison, bringing the artistic conception contained in this word to the extreme!
In the Han army's array, the shouts came and went, and they were not the same.
"The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!"
"The wrath of the dragon, there is no advance or retreat!"
"The power of the tiger, there is death and no life!"
"The gall of the unicorn, I am invincible!"
"Wind! Wind!! Wind ——!!! ”
Although the slogans shouted are different, they are staggered, one battle horn just falls, and another battle horn sounds, like a passionate symphony, endless killing intent, breaking the extreme, pushing the atmosphere of slaughter on the battlefield to an unprecedented climax! (To be continued......)
