Chapter 21: Charging into Battle

Three-Talent Long Snake Formation (One-word Long Snake Formation Extension Formation): Integrating the method of the three talents of heaven, earth and man into the one-word long snake formation, the transformation is more flexible, and the enemy is more confused. If you want to crack the formation, you need to defeat the three talents of heaven, earth and man respectively, and then attack the seven-inch position of the long snake formation, and if you attack rashly, you will fall into the infinite cycle of attacks of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and finally be exhausted.

The general He Jin formed a square formation, and Xu Yang immediately got the information fed back by the hermit who broke the formation. The formation in front of him was the Sancai Long Snake Formation, and even the order of breaking the formation gave guidance, but it was only guidance. As far as Xu Yang's eyes could see, the long snake formation stretched for five or six miles, and the soldiers in the formation were marked with three colors, and this color was only visible to Xu Yang himself.

"Fengxiao, do you have a way to crack these three long snake formations?" Although Xu Yang could see the various colors of the soldiers in the enemy's formation, and he also knew the guiding ideology of breaking the formation, he still had no clue about breaking the formation. How to break these three? Heaven and earth are all there, but where is this eye? If you don't defeat the formation eye, it will kill a few soldiers, and it will not be dangerous to the formation of 20,000 people at all, and you will put yourself in it.

At this time, Guo Jia also threw away his previous profligacy and disdain, and stared at the other party's formation layout with a serious face and began to observe. His eyes were slightly dense, as if he could see through everything in front of him, but after just a few observations, Guo Jia showed a relaxed smile on his face and said: "Back to my lord, I have not grasped the essence of these three talented people who have long snake formations. It's not difficult to crack this formation, my lord, look at the staggered arrangement of soldiers in this formation, although it looks neat, but it is divided into three groups! ”

"Oh? What three groups? Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xu Yang's heart immediately moved, he could see that those divine soldiers were marked with different colors with the title of Breaking Formation Hermit, but how did Guo Jia do it?

Guo Jia pointed to a more conspicuous position in the formation and said, "My lord, look at the three soldiers, although they are standing in a queue, it is easy for people to think that they are a team. However, Jia was able to distinguish at a glance that these three people belonged to different formation sequences, and their combat content was definitely different. ”

Xu Yang looked in the direction Guo Jia pointed, and sure enough, there were three soldiers of different colors standing together. But at this time, Xu Yang wondered, could Guo Jia be able to see the color of the soldier like himself. Later, Guo Jia pointed to two more soldiers, but found that these soldiers were all different colors, or two colors or three.

"Fengxiao, don't go around the corner, tell me how you distinguish these soldiers!" Xu Yang saw that these soldiers had their own colors, and he didn't find any clues after looking at them for a long time, so he could only ask Guo Jia.

"My lord, I said that the three talented long snake formation arrangers are not proficient in learning, because these soldiers are too easy to distinguish. In other words, he himself was afraid that he would not be able to distinguish which part the soldier was, so he deliberately added a more conspicuous way of distinguishing it. That's what gave me a chance! Guo Jia said with a smile on his face, "These three-talent long snake array is the transformation of the three-talent array of heaven and earth and the one-word long snake array. Among them, the three talents of heaven, earth and man are in charge of attacking, defending, and checking, and the tactics of the one-word long snake formation can be dealt with ease no matter how the enemy attacks. ”

"But in General He's formation, although the soldiers are also assigned different weapons, it looks like a way of distributing heaven, earth and man, but in fact, it is a move by the person who arranged the formation here without three hundred taels of silver. However, because of their lack of ability, in order to distinguish the soldiers in the array, they made different marks on the front, side, and back of their armor. My lord, you can see the soldiers with worn armor and bronze mirrors in front of them, soldiers with stitches on both sides of their armor, and a few soldiers with their backs to us and a hole in the back of their armor...... These soldiers look like shabby armor, but in fact, they are the way to distinguish between heaven, earth and man! ”

Xu Yang looked at it according to Guo Jia's statement, and sure enough, he found that the red soldiers he saw were all soldiers with a bronze mirror in front of the armor, which was also the best way to distinguish them. The soldiers on both sides of the armor who looked to be sewn because of their wornness were all showing green, and finally some of the clothes had holes in the back, which was completely blue in Xu Yang's eyes.

"If Feng Xian said that these people are easy to distinguish, but Feng Xiao, the three talents of heaven, earth and man have been distinguished, but how to crack these three long snake formations?" Just now, these were just to determine whether Guo Jia had this ability, and now the results that the two of them see are basically the same, so all that remains is to study and break the formation.

"My lord, look closely, but the eyes of these soldiers are looking at our army?" Guo Jia asked proudly again.

This question suddenly made Xu Yang suddenly enlightened, even if the soldiers of the two armies were arrayed, they should look at the movement of the enemy army. But these soldiers on the opposite side look in different directions, and many of them are in a trance, and some even ask the soldiers around them, obviously these three long snake formations are as Guo Jia said, the level of the arrayers is average, and it should be a hasty army, resulting in insufficient training of the soldiers, and they don't know what they have to do. If the soldiers in the formation are not elite, I am afraid that even the effects of these three talents may not be able to appear.

Xu Yang followed the gaze of several soldiers, and it didn't take long to find that there would be a key protected object every 100 meters in such a lengthy long snake formation. And many soldiers' eyes will be on this person, which means that this person's identity must be the hidden commander in the formation, as long as this guy is pulled out, then there will be no problem in breaking the formation.

Just as Xu Yang was observing, the general He Jin on the opposite side had already sent someone to urge Xu Yang to break the formation. After all, when the formation is laid out, it is not a matter of always letting the two sides stalemate like this.

Xu Yang called Huang Zhong and Gao Chong, and Guo Jia spoke first: "Lord, two generals. It is not difficult to break the three-talent long snake formation, the difficult thing is how to inflict heavy damage on the enemy! He Jin's cavalry was in the rear, and once the soldiers in the formation were defeated, their cavalry rushed up to rescue and cover the kill, which was a great disadvantage to us. Therefore, when the formation is broken in a while, I ask all the generals to listen to my orders, break the formation in unison, and then hang it in the rear of the enemy...... So and so ......"

None of the three of them have any opinions on Guo Jia's strategy. It's just that Huang Zhong suggested that his father-in-law could observe in the rear, but Xu Yang directly denied it. No matter how you say it, you are also a person who has touched the threshold of the holy level with one hand, so it is not interesting to hide behind and watch you break the formation.

After preparing for a while, Xu Yang, Huang Zhong, and Gao Chong rode out, each with 5,000 soldiers behind them. Although this number does not add up to the number of people in the formation, Guo Jia said that such a number is enough!

The three of them glanced at each other, Huang Zhong led his light cavalry Xiaoyang Cavalry to run away quickly, and the cavalry team of 5,000 people did not rush into the formation, but confronted it at a distance of fifty meters. Five thousand light cavalry, no one bent their bows and waited, standing there quietly without the slightest movement, the long line was with the three long snake formations, but the team was much looser.

The general He Jin saw that the other party sent out the cavalry to charge the formation, and wanted to complain, but found that the other party's cavalry was only observing from a distance, so he glanced at the general beside him with an inquiring meaning.

The general's face was calm, and he did not panic at all because of the other party's cavalry, and when he saw He Jin, he asked respectfully and said: "Don't worry, general, my three-talented long snake formation is unpredictable, even if the enemy's cavalry charges the formation, there is no return!" ”

Hearing the general's confident answer, He Jin said that he knew and continued to observe.

With Huang Zhong's cavalry in place, Xu Yang and Gao Quan's troops went to the head and tail of the Long Snake Formation. The two of them led infantry troops, and the five thousand soldiers behind Xu Yang carried swords one by one at the same time, and their armor did not reflect any light in the sun. Looking at the soldiers on the Gao Chong side, there are many more guys in their hands, spears, broadswords, bows, crossbows, and shields, and there are ten people in a group, and the group is fully equipped, and at a glance you know that this is an elite force.

Coming to the position of one mile of the snaketail, Xu Yang commanded the whole army to stop, waiting for Guo Jia's order in the Chinese army. Gao Chong came directly to the position of the head of the snake, and the troops behind him faintly surrounded the head of the snake, but they did not move at all.

"What are they doing here?" Seeing that the other party had already sent troops to finish the long snake formation that he had carefully arranged, and he looked full of confidence, He Jin was still sitting firmly.

The military general on the side said very calmly: "Don't worry, general, this is the champion Hou who saw the seven inches of my long snake formation, and is ready to attack the seven inch position, and then cut off the snake's head when I transfer troops to rescue......"

"What! Has your formation been seen through by others? You're not...... Didn't you say that you can't crack this formation more than a handful of people? How can it be seen through so easily! As soon as he heard the general's explanation, He Jin's whole person was not good, and there was both blame and anger in his tone, and even three points of contempt.

In this regard, the military general said with a slight smile: "The general misunderstood. This champion Hou did see some of the ways in this formation, and it also proved that there were people in the opposing army who knew the formation, but what they saw was what the last general wanted to see for them, and as soon as they entered the formation, the last general would inevitably capture them and dedicate them to the general! ”

What else can He Jin say, he doesn't understand the formation, since he has already set up the formation, he has to insist until Lu Bu returns to help!

Sure enough, while the two were talking, Xu Yang took the lead with a beginningless lance in his hand, and directly attacked the position of about a mile at the tail of the long snake formation. The soldiers at this point are more than in other positions, and under the leadership of Xu Yang, the elite troops with swords behind them are even more invincible.

Seeing Xu Yang attacking, two groups of soldiers suddenly appeared in the array, one holding a giant shield and the other holding Changge. The three soldiers erected the giant shield and blocked Xu Yang's path. Chang Ge, who was behind him, was on top of the shield, and the sharp spikes made people shudder.

Between his thoughts, the beginningless lance became more than eight feet, and the sharp lance blade slashed horizontally at the front. Changge, who was standing on top of the shield, was instantly cut off, and the war horse under Xu Yang's crotch instantly changed from an ordinary horse to a Nine Shadows war horse!

The flame of the Nine Shadows covered the whole body, Xu Yang was like a devil returning from hell, and the blade of the Beginningless Lance was also stained with dark green flames, and then with a slash, the huge shield was directly cut by Xu Yang, and the person successfully rushed into the formation with the help of the horse.

The soldiers who stepped forward to intercept only caused a little delay to Xu Yang's advance, and they were directly broken into by Xu Yang. In the face of Xu Yang's sudden god-killing appearance, these elite soldiers only appeared to freeze for a moment, and then began to observe the formation flag and began to change.

Behind Xu Yang is his unique guard, and it is also the most powerful force in Bright Moon City, the Sword Guard. As Xu Yang rushed in, the formation began to change, preparing to block the gap that appeared and prevent the follow-up troops from attacking. However, the sword guard following Xu Yang was the existence of a ninth-order soldier, even if he pulled it out, he could fight against ordinary generals, and these soldiers reacted extremely quickly, and when the long snake formation began to change, they were already holding swords and killing with Xu Yang.

However, the follow-up troops were eventually intercepted after the formation was transferred and a large number of troops at the tail were assembled. The soldiers on the periphery of the formation are not in love with war, and they leave with one blow, although the sword guards can accurately attack the other party, but due to some protection methods in the formation, they have not been able to achieve obvious results.

At this time, Xu Yang had already killed the "seven inches" position of the Long Snake Formation, but there were less than three hundred sword guards behind him, but all of them were good hands. From time to time, there were crossbowmen in the formation to carry out sneak attacks, but Xu Yang's handful was also gathered together, and the sword guards guarded Xu Yang to the death. Xu Yang, who was on top of the Nine Shadows War Horse, looked around, looking for his target this time in the face of being surrounded by him.

On the other side, Gao Chong, who had been waiting for the order, was motionless, and the entire army tightly held down the position of the head of the snake in the long snake formation, and he got the order very clearly, that is, the enemy does not move, I do not move! Now the tail of the Long Snake Formation has become an encirclement because of Xu Yang's attack, trapping Xu Yang in it, but the sword guards on the periphery are surrounded by soldiers from both ends, and the situation is not optimistic.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that only one-third of the snake's tail is now moving in the entire long snake formation, which is fighting with Xu Yang. If Xu Yang can't highlight his encirclement in a short period of time, he is afraid that he will eventually be consumed and lose his strength, and the sword guards on the periphery are also very helpless in the face of harassment and escape from the enemy soldiers because they have no command.

Such a scene was seen in the eyes of Guo Jia, who was on the high platform of the Chinese army, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When this formation does not move, you can already see many clues, and when you move, you can see even more.

Guo Jia confirmed that the way he had distinguished the soldiers was right, the soldiers with heart shields on their chests were mainly responsible for defense, whether it was a giant shield or a spear, it could be said that they never attacked. The soldiers on both sides of the armor looked a little shabby, and they were responsible for sneaking up and retreating immediately after a single blow. Finally, there is a big hole in the soldiers behind the armor, and the role of these guys is to make the whole formation move, cover for the other two kinds of soldiers, and do a good job of confusing this level.

"Flag bearer, give the first order!" Seeing that the enemy's snake tail part was in a formation alone, and there was a great intention to surround his own lord, Guo Jia hurriedly ordered.

Although I was a little anxious under this order, after all, it was my own lord in the formation, so I couldn't take care of my lord's life in vain, right? So even if the final battle is broken, it doesn't make sense.

The red flag waved, and Xu Yang saw the flag at a glance above the Nine Shadows War Horse.

The Beginningless Lance was held high, and he did not attack in the face of the oncoming soldier, but stabbed directly into the body of the soldier behind him. However, the soldier who was closer to Xu Yang did not attack, but ran over like this. In this formation, he does not have an offensive function, he is only responsible for confusing. Originally, he thought that the champion Hou was going to attack him, but when he found out that this move hit the main attacker behind him, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.

"Attention, all of you, attack the red target!" Xu Yang succeeded in his blow, and found that he was not attacked as expected, and immediately ordered.

As a result, the sword guards who were originally guarding Xu Yang's side began to look for the other party's soldiers to attack. The soldiers they attacked were very distinctive, that is, people with some damage on the sides of the armor, or people with a hole in the armor somewhere behind them.

And such a persistent killing method can be said to be an act of death in a normal battle, after all, regardless of other enemy troops, then you are giving your life to the other party. But there was an extremely strange scene in the entire formation, some soldiers watched their robes die in battle, but they couldn't do anything, they could only watch silently like this, and then continue to maintain the rules of the formation.

He Jinyuan in the rear was surrounded by the arrogant champion Hou, and he already had a smug smile on his face, and the entire formation only used one-third of it to trap the opponent. If you can catch the champion Hou on the first day, there is no need to continue the rest of this drill. But He Jin's smile didn't last long, but he saw that Hou, the champion in the formation, led more than 300 people to start the slaughter in an orderly manner!

That's right, it's a massacre! Many soldiers have a good attack position, but in the face of the killing of Paoze, they just glanced at it and ran over, this scene instantly ignited He Jin's anger to the maximum, and angrily asked the military general next to him: "What are they doing, are they killed like this?" How could my soldiers die like this? ”

The general's originally calm face also showed a hint of surprise, but he was immediately suppressed, and just replied indifferently: "Don't worry, general, this enemy has seen the appearance of the three talents in my formation." Although it is somewhat unexpected, there is also a way to crack it! ”

I saw a few flags waving, and the snake tail that had originally surrounded Xu Yang suddenly changed. All the soldiers began to attack frantically, looking extremely disorderly, but like a raging river, the rest of the sword guards were blocked by huge shields on the outside of the formation, and there were assault squads constantly dividing this force.

Don't underestimate the soldiers of He Jin's formation, although these soldiers don't understand the formation, they are the elite of the West Garden in He Jin's hands, with an average of eighth-order strength, and there are still elite ninth-order soldiers in the army. The sword guards on the periphery were attacked by these ninth-order West Garden elites, and they were gradually being divided, and the sudden formation within the formation had a great impact on the sword guards, and for a while, they could only shrink back into defense again, protecting Xu Yang in the center......
