Chapter 309: Breaking the Formation

Wang Xu has been learning formations from Xuanwei Daoist since he was a child, and if he still doesn't know the rules, it will really be in vain. After taking a deep breath, he already smiled slightly: "The so-called Seven Star Array has to go around and around, you change me, I change you, to ensure that its momentum is not chaotic, all star arrays are operating in an orderly manner, and the Polaris Array, which is the core, must always be in the center of the formation." ”

"Tomorrow's battle is to be fought slowly, first with crossbowmen, and then with a banner high enough on its own side to point the way. Then send two groups of men and horses to form a long snake formation, break through the gap in the opponent's star array, converge in the center, and directly engage the Polaris array. And our army took the opportunity to press, thinking that the enemy position could be broken in an instant as long as it paid some price. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu no longer hesitated and stood up suddenly. "I'll go to the princes from all walks of life to discuss this matter, and you wait until you go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle."

"No!" With the voice of everyone, Wang Xu had already left the big tent quickly and went to find Yuan Shao.

Today's defeat has frustrated morale, and Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, is also frowning in his own camp. After Wang Xu suddenly arrived and told him to break the law, Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately summoned all the princes to come.

After a heated discussion, although a small number of princes were still hesitant, most of them still agreed. So in the end, it was decided to implement it accordingly, and the two teams that formed a long snake formation to kill the center of the formation were Wang Xu and Liu Bei. The rest of the princes sent a total of 30,000 troops to suppress the enemy formation from the front.

The plan to break the enemy was decided, and the princes did not dare to delay, and returned to the camp one after another to gather elite soldiers and horses, and make full preparations.

In the early morning of the next day, the princes had just assembled a large army and left the camp, and Lu Bu had already arrived slowly. And yesterday's victory seemed to make him full of confidence in the Seven-Star Beidou Array. Seeing that the princes lined up to meet the battle, they didn't say much at all, scolded twice, and ordered the army to march slowly. Intended to repel the entire army strongly. The calculation in his heart is also self-evident. Obviously, he wanted to force the princes to retreat into the camp and not dare to fight.

After a long time, the army of the princes' expedition will definitely not be able to keep up with the logistics supply, and it will inevitably cause chaos. And the expedition is out, but he has always flinched and dare not come out, and the soldiers are homesick. If the courage is worn out, there will be no more fighting spirit. When the time comes, you only need to sit back and wait for the civil strife of the princes, and you can break it in one battle.

However, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and at this moment, the princes already have a way to break the formation, so of course they won't be afraid. Seeing that Lu Bu's Seven Star Array was approaching at an extremely fast speed. The crossbowmen marched in front of the battle, and the archers lined up behind the foot soldiers, ready for battle.

As Lu Bu's army rushed seventy steps away, the princes of all walks of life did not hesitate and shouted loudly: "Crossbowman!" Shooting ......"

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh!"

In an instant, rows of crossbow arrows poured out, and the crossbowmen were divided into three columns, taking turns to shoot in turn. There is no interruption. Lu Bu's army was also instantly stagnant. The speed slowed down. However, the casualties were not large, because his seven star arrays were full of sword and shield soldiers. The thick shield wall blocked most of the arrows.

But this was expected, everyone had a calm face, quietly waiting for Lu Bu to gradually approach. It wasn't until fifty paces away that he shouted again: "Archer! Projectile ......"

As he spoke, the archer, who had been preparing for a long time, instantly raised his longbow and aimed at the sky diagonally in front of him. Countless arrows arced and bypassed the infantry in front of them, falling from the sky towards the top of the enemy formation.

This time, Lu Bu's camp had a lot of damage, but the power of the projectile was not great after all, and as long as the soldiers dodged and dialed in an orderly manner, there would not be too many casualties.

A moment later, Lu Bu's army had rushed twenty paces away. At this time, the army formation of the princes changed again, the crossbowmen in the front row quickly retreated, the sword and shield soldiers slowly stepped forward, and the gaps were densely packed with long foot soldiers, and there were short foot soldiers on both sides to assist in killing the enemy soldiers who rushed to the front.

At the same time, Wang Xu and Liu Bei glanced at each other from afar, and they did not hesitate, each of them led a fierce general and more than 1,500 people, forming a formation like a swimming snake. Suddenly pounced out, each found the gap in the enemy star array, and went straight to the center of the enemy array to kill.

The snare drum in the rear also sounded suddenly, and two chariots suddenly appeared behind the army, each with several banner-bearers, holding two incredibly long flags, pointing out the direction for Liu Bei and Wang Xu who rushed into the battle.

Lu Bu, who was behind the enemy formation, was standing on top of the chariot to command the array, and suddenly saw Wang Xu and Liu Bei leading people in, his face sank, and he was already waving the command flag in his hand suddenly. The three small star arrays suddenly changed, sometimes loose and sometimes dense, and quickly came towards Wang Xu and Liu Bei.

But the princes from all walks of life who were paying close attention to the movements in front of him, where would they give him a chance, without saying a word, he roared and scolded the whole army to advance, and pressed on Lu Bu's army. A moment later, the two armies were already in contact and fighting each other.

But the Seven-Star Beidou Formation is indeed powerful, although the princes form a dense number of formations, which is a way of arranging both offense and defense in ordinary military formations. But in the face of the Seven-Star Beidou Array, there were still casualties in an instant, and the small star arrays were like beating hearts, gathering and scattering from time to time, or like hard walnuts, or like flowers that suddenly bloomed, and they rotated and moved with each other, which was extremely weird. The soldiers in front of them often had just engaged the opponent and their weapons were blocked, only to find that another soldier had turned in front of them and slashed down with a single sword. Although the long, short, and sword and shield soldiers of their own side have tried their best to cooperate with each other and protect each other, they are always careless, and killing one of the opponents almost costs three people.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu, who was on top of the chariot, suddenly laughed wildly, and his arrogance was fully revealed. Of course, the princes were full of anger, and they all looked at Lu Bu with resentment, but their hearts were ruthless, and they commanded the soldiers to fight to the death regardless of it.

Finding this, Lu Bu was not stupid, and quickly frowned. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned his head to look into the distance, only to find that Wang Zijun Qi and Liu Zijun Qi had gone straight to the middle of the battle.

In an instant, Lu Bu was terrified, and even wanted to wave the command flag. But then he was suddenly stunned, because at this time he found out that the Seven Star Small Arrays had already operated with each other, and they had all fought with the princes' armies. If the star array in the rear is now mobilized to flank Wang Xu and Liu Bei, then the star array facing the enemy head-on in front will be isolated and unable to form a momentum. Losing the characteristics of change and strange strangulation, the star array resisted alone, and it was not as good as the ordinary military array, and it would collapse in a moment.

At this moment, Lu Bu finally understood that the princes had indeed found a way to break the formation. He attaches great importance to his reputation, and when he thought of his previous wild words, a resentment suddenly rose in his heart: This Li Ru actually deceived me. It is also said that this is one of the world's strange arrays. As a result, he was seen through by others so quickly. If I knew this, it would be better for me to call the battle myself!

When he complained, Wang Xu and Liu Bei were already in the heart of the battle, and saw the group of Polaris arrays wearing red armor and feather helmets. Without saying a word, he directly led the fierce general to kill the past.

The round array like a turtle shell was for Wang Xu, Zhao Yun and others. The action is fictitious. Rushing up and striking hard, the shield-wielding soldier in the rear was knocked away, like a man armed with a large knife and an axe, and a single slash could cause the person holding the shield to fall to the ground, dislocating and breaking his wrist.

Less than a quarter of an hour. The Polaris Formation of several hundred people had been rushed back and forth by Wang Xu and Liu Bei several times, completely routed, and fled in all directions. Although the other star arrays around witnessed this, they couldn't come to the rescue, they were all on their own trajectories, and Lu Bu didn't dare to run around without an order. Once they run around, the entire Seven Star Array will collide with each other. Trampling on each other. For Lu Bu, he wanted to save. But he didn't dare and saved the middle. The star array that resisted alone in front would collapse in an instant, and the army would be even more defeated.

At this moment, Wang Xu's heart was also happy, and there was no suspense in this battle. All Qimen battle formations, although they are infinitely powerful and far superior to ordinary military formations, their weaknesses are also more deadly. Those who are proficient in formations know how not to let the other party find out, and try to prevent the other party from attacking their weaknesses as much as possible. But Li Ru and Lu Bu were obviously not very proficient in this seven-star Beidou Array, so they caused this result.

As the core Polaris Array was forced, Wang Xu and Liu Bei also stayed for a long time, following the guidance of the rear banner and killing all the way back. After a while, losing the central core formation as a reference, the Seven Star Array changed messily a few times, and the soldiers were dizzy, and they couldn't tell where they were. Lu Bu waved the flag and ordered the star array in the position of the Tianquan Star to attack, but the star array in that position didn't know that it was at all, and was still waiting for others to move.

In this way, there is nothing terrible about this seven-star Beidou array, the princes waved their troops to attack, Wang Xu and Liu Bei also attacked left and right, and raided the interior. In just half an hour, Lu Bu's 30,000-strong army had already suffered heavy casualties. Some star arrays circled around, and even crashed into the opponent's attack range themselves, and were surrounded and strangled by the group.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu also knew that the general trend had gone, and he didn't dare to fight any further, so he jumped off the chariot with a vertical leap. The angry eyes glared at the army of princes, and then quickly stepped on the BMW Chitu and roared angrily: "Withdraw!" ”

Sergeant Dong, who was already on the verge of collapse and had no intention of fighting again, heard the sharp sound of gold from the rear, and where there was still the slightest stop, they retreated one after another.

The princes of all walks of life were angry yesterday, and wherever they would let go, they were all fiercely chased and killed. Sun Jian was even more angry and struck, fighting bravely to be the first, looking at it like that, he really had the idea of directly rushing through the enemy army and chasing Lu Bu.

Killed all the way through the camp outside Lu Bu Pass, and never stopped at all, until the Tiger Prison Pass, in the face of the rain of arrows pouring down from the pass, the princes had to stop. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's Luo Gai was on the gate, the soldiers of the whole army mocked and scolded, and they also slowly retreated.

In this battle, Lu Bu's 30,000 vanguard soldiers and horses were defeated, and the princes also took advantage of the situation to move the camp forward and threaten the tiger prison, which was only five miles away from it. Originally, according to the original statement, Sun Jian's trial formation occupied the fifth layer, but on the day of the trial, Wang Xu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei also made great contributions, and contributed greatly to this victory. Therefore, after the princes consulted, they let them fight alone on the six floors, while they shared the other four layers.

Because of the method of breaking the formation proposed by Wang Xu, he struggled to rescue Sun Jian, so he was able to occupy two layers exclusively. It's a pity that among Lu Bu's 30,000 vanguards, there are not many cavalry, only six or seven thousand people are mixed in the star array, and his fast action makes up for the occasional loopholes in the star array. In addition, when retreating, there were a lot of runs, and a lot of horses were killed by mistake in the battle, and a total of only more than 2,000 horses were captured.

Therefore, Wang Xu could only get four hundred horses, and the rest were all armor and weapons, scattered materials, and so on. But what's the use of those broken weapons and worn-out materials? Maybe everyone else is lacking, and you can use it if you take it back to renovate and repair it, but he doesn't lack it! After working hard to run Jingnan for so long, there is no shortage of resources, and there are a lot of materials, what is the use of bringing so many shabby things all the way? It's a pity to throw it away, what a lot of wealth!

Just when he looked at the mountains of materials and frowned, Zhou Zhi suddenly came out and said in a sneaky voice: "Boss, look at you like that, don't you want these things?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I only want war horses, and I don't want anything else!" ”

"Oops! It's not simple, go to Gongsun Chan for an equivalent exchange! It seems that he had expected Wang Xu to say this, and as soon as Zhou Zhi's eyes opened, he already smiled and said: "A short time ago, I went to get close to Gongsun Zhan, and I found that he seemed to be also very troubled!" He is deep in the northern part of Youzhou, and he is rich in excellent war horses, not to mention, even if he is lacking, he can go outside the plug to rob it. His white horse righteousness made the Hu people very jealous, and he was also called the white horse general by the Hu people, so why did he have to travel thousands of miles to rob the horse? Listen to what he means, and there is a shortage of all kinds of gold and iron materials. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log on to http://www.biquge.info.)
