Chapter Seventy-Six: Fighting Array

"Don't worry, in my opinion, this Chen Ziping will be defeated, and then the heroes will compete in the Central Plains, and the lord occupies Qingzhou, breaking the yellow turban to get about 100,000 elite soldiers, although Qingzhou is panicked at this time, but as long as one or two years of recuperation, then the lord will attack Yizhou first and then break Youzhou, and then the lord will not lack food, and the three states will carry out a long-distance and close attack, and the world is within reach." Li Ru said slowly.

"Okay, Wen You is my ovary." Dong Zhuo laughed.

On the second day, the two sides faced each other again, Chen Fan stretched out his hand and waved, only to see five thousand soldiers and horses appear behind him, and with five high poles, nine sub-high poles and three hundred and fifteen stakes and 18 horizontal and vertical beams inserted in the soil, and then with nine snail-shaped chain bends connected by horizontal logs, from the top is a square with an area of 324 square meters, of which there are nine curves and eighteen bends. There are five ten-meter-high wooden poles hanging on the four corners of the nine curves and the center, and the square flags of the five colors of red, yellow, green, purple and orchid are hung on the four corners of the nine curves, and the books are written on the east A and B wood, the south is a fire in the south, Gengxin Jin in the west, non deuce water in the north, and Wuji soil in the center, which is the Jiuqu Yellow River array that Chen Fan laid out at this time.

Chen Fan saw that the formation had been arranged, nodded secretly, and said, "I'm not talented, who will break it for a while?" ”

After Liu Biao saw it, he frowned secretly, although he was not a master of the art of war, he had read a few military books, never seen it, and had never heard of it, and said: "All the soldiers, who dares to break the formation?" ”

After Lu Bu saw it, he glared angrily at Chen Fan, who was about to ride into the battle but was stopped by a person, and said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't know the depth of this formation, how can you act rashly." ”

This person is Chen Gong, although Chen Gong is not as famous as Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but Chen Gong's strategy is not under the two. As a counselor, he fulfilled his duty to serve the Lord. His contempt for Cao Cao's treachery highlights his upright personality, not only loyal to a master, but also dedicated to death. Praised by the world, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a high evaluation of Chen Gong:

There is no ambition in life and death, how strong is the husband!

Don't talk about the gold and stone, empty pillars.

The auxiliary master is really respectable, and it is sad to leave his relatives

On the day of Baimen's death, who is willing to be like a public platform!

After hearing this, Lu Bu hesitated: "Gongtai knows about this formation? ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, I once learned from the ancient books that when King Wu was fighting, he encountered a strange array, just like the Yellow River with nine bends and eighteen bends. ”

"Is there a way to break the formation?" Lu Bu frowned and asked after hearing this.

"I don't know, but Chen Ziping can actually set up this formation, this person should not be underestimated." Chen Gong looked at Chen Fan in a Confucian robe from a distance, like a humble gentleman, and there was a feeling of intersecting with him in his heart.

After Lu Bu heard this, his face darkened, not to be underestimated, who underestimated him, didn't see the whole world gathered in the nineteenth road princes to attack Luoyang to crusade against the rebels, you told me not to underestimate him, everyone knows this.

I saw a somewhat dissolute young man in Yuan Shu's army and said, "Wen Ruo, do you know what kind of formation this formation is? ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said, "The whole world can recognize this formation of no more than ten people, and the one who can put this formation is Chen Ziping, although I know this formation, but I don't know how to break it." ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Guo Jia grabbed Xun Yu's arm at once.

"Hey, you let go first, you don't know it's normal, this is known from ancient books and wild history, and you don't read this book, this is the ...... when King Wu was defeated" Xun Yu told him again.

After Liu Biao saw it, no one came out, his face was gloomy, and he said: "Break this formation, seal the marquis, and reward ten thousand gold." ”

At this time, I saw a general behind Wang Kuang, who came out with a gun, it was Fang Yue, a famous general in Hanoi, and said: "The young general is willing to go." ”

"Okay, I have 10,000 soldiers and horses with you, can you break this formation?" Liu Biao smiled, sure enough.

"If you don't win, come and see you." After speaking, he led out 10,000 soldiers and horses from it and rushed to the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, after Chen Fan saw it, he waved his arm with one arm, and the banner behind Chen Fan and Chen Fan changed a little, and suddenly the formation revealed a gap, allowing Fang Yue to lead the army to rush in, and then it changed again, the formation worked, and in less than a quarter of an hour, 10,000 troops died in the formation, and Fang Yue was even more behind dozens of guns, Chen Fan smiled: "Wait and go back and think about it, and when you come up with a way, you will call the formation." After speaking, they retreated into the pass one after another, leaving behind corpses in one place.

When Liu Biao saw it, he cried bitterly and said: "Pity my Han family's 400 years of destruction in the hands of this son, how can I face my ancestors and ancestors after I die." After saying that, he cried loudly.

I saw a person walk out and said, "Lord, no, morale matters." This person is Kuai Liang, but he lamented in his heart, his own lord is just a king who guards the city.

"Don't worry, I know this formation." After Liu Biao heard this, he saw a person walking on his back with a wolf's waist and a tiger, followed by a person, a little thin.

"Zhong Ying knows about this formation?" Liu Biao was a little unsure.

"Although I know this formation, I don't know how to break it, but I have a way to break the tiger's prison." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

"Come soon, the leader of the alliance, such as a fighting general, although our army has General Lu, not afraid of Yan Liangwen and ugliness, but Chen Ziping used cavalry to sneak attack, such as a fighting array, I look at it, our army is not as good as him, if it takes a long time, the morale of our army will inevitably decline, it is better to directly attack the Tiger Pass, our army has 800,000 troops, even if it consumes him, it will consume him to death, why fight with him." Dong Zhuo is colorful.

After hearing this, Liu Biao frowned and said: "Our army has only 50,000 cavalry, but he has 200,000, how can it be good to rush up." ”

"Don't worry, if this can be the case, this Chen Ziping would have opened the city gate to fight with us, although Chen Thief has 200,000 troops, but there are 50,000 guards in Liangzhou, don't act rashly, in case the Qiang people make trouble, Chang'an doesn't say how much, there are still 20,000 defenders, these 200,000 troops went to 70,000, and it is 130,000, but the alliance leader can know that this is the Tiger Prison Pass, then Luoyang, how can Chen Ziping not shoot the army to suppress the major families, in order to prevent chaos." Dong Zhuo said coldly.

This Dong Zhuo said well, the entire Tiger Prison Pass is also 80,000 troops, so Chen Fan is mainly defensive, dare not attack, at this time the coalition army has just attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, although it has filed some morale, but it is also harmless, after holding on for two months, morale will definitely decline, if it is rumored that the rear is sneak attacked, the soldiers' homesickness is stronger, and then it is the time to counterattack, at this time, even if Chen Fan has the ability to reach the sky, he can't wipe out the 800,000 army at once, and it is impossible to learn from Cao Cao's sneak attack on Yuan Shao's grain and grass, the grain and grass of the coalition army are from Yizhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places are constantly transported, if the sneak attack must be more than two ways, send a large number of soldiers and horses, and then the coalition forces will storm it, but it is not easy to do.

After Liu Biao heard this, he nodded secretly, and said with a straight face: "Reward the three armies, kill pigs and sheep, and launch a fierce attack in two hours." ”

Two hours later, Liu Biao ordered a fierce attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, the smoke rising from the raging fire filled the pass, and the dead bodies lay on the ground on the city wall, bleeding endlessly, the air was full of smoke, blood and sweat, several smells were mixed with each other, pungent and unpleasant, and the war was still going on.

After Chen Fan saw it, he closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate." But then, when he opened his eyes, he shouted with a cold light, "Drum ......."

"Lord, 10,000 troops have died, and they can't resist it at all, there are too many people......" I saw a captain running to worship.

After hearing this, Chen Fan took a sharp breath and said, "Open the city gate and use 20,000 Xuanjia iron horses to rush in a wave to buy time." ”

"Your lordship, you can't ......," the lieutenant shouted.
