Chapter 371: You two, break the formation with me
Tai Shici and Liao Hua relied on their own bravery, and rushed into Liu Bei's army without thinking about it.
However, when they entered it, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It was surrounded by iron walls made of shields and fences made of wood, and from time to time enemy troops attacked with spears along the gaps.
Tai Shici and Liao Hua saw that the situation was not good, and they both wanted to withdraw from the encirclement.
But at this moment, the back road has been blocked by the enemy, and the two have to rush forward.
It's just that the more they rush, the more wrong it becomes, and they feel like they've been circling in place, and the number of enemy troops around them seems to be increasing.
Tai Shici and Liao Hua fell into a bitter battle for a while.
"Ziyi!"
Liao Hua shouted.
"I'm here!"
Tai Shici responded to Liao Hua's call in a loud voice.
Both of them could hear that the other party was only a few dozen steps away from them.
But between them was blocked by a thick shield wall, and the distance of dozens of paces was like a moat at this moment.
"Oh no, I'm afraid I'm going to fold here today."
The two of them secretly gave birth to such a year in their hearts.
Now we can only wait for the lord to come and save us!
……
On the other side of the battlefield.
Zhang Liao, who was watching the situation on the battlefield, suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and said with a frown,
"Three military advisors, the situation doesn't seem right."
Hearing this, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Li Ru stepped forward and carefully observed the battlefield not far away.
They looked at it for a moment, and they realized that something was wrong.
The 20,000 troops of Tai Shici and Liao Hua were like a drop of water falling into the sea, without the slightest trace.
Liu Bei's army, on the other hand, has been moving continuously, as if it is maintaining a certain formation.
"Why don't we send someone to help?"
Zhang Liao tentatively authentic.
"No, I can't. The enemy's formation is ingenious, ever-changing, and contains killing opportunities.
Although they only had nearly 50,000 men, the formation they had set up was there.
Even if we send another 20,000 horses in, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Guo Jia shook his head and categorically rejected Zhang Liao's proposal.
After observing just now, he could already see that the opponent's formation definitely had ghosts.
"So what should I do?"
Zhang Liao's expression was solemn and authentic,
"You can't let Ziyi and Liao Hua go."
"I'm helpless, so I can only ask the lord for now."
Guo Jia sighed.
Although he and Jia Xu are both military advisors, they are only good at strategy, and they don't know anything about this formation.
More often, Li Ru is responsible for the logistics and supply of the army.
So I can only pin my hope on my own father-in-law.
"That's what the military advisor said."
Zhang Liao nodded.
The four of them hurriedly rode to the rear camp.
Hua Xiong is lying leisurely on the recliner, drinking the happy water of the fat house.
Seeing the arrival of the four, he laughed,
"Captured Xiapi so quickly?"
A few people, you look at me, I'll look at you, or Zhang Liao is a little embarrassed,
"My lord, we're in trouble."
Zhang Liao originally wanted to defeat Liu Bei and make some achievements.
But seeing that the war was not going well, he was not the kind of person who wanted to die to save face and suffer crimes, so he took the initiative to ask Hua Xiong for help.
Listening to Zhang Liao's introduction of the situation on the battlefield ahead, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up.
"Could it be Zhuge Liang's gossip array?"
He muttered to himself.
"Bagua Array?"
Several people looked at each other.
"My lord, what's that?"
Li Ru said curiously.
"Come with me."
Hua Xiong jumped up and led several subordinates to a small hill not far away.
An observation deck has been set up in advance.
Hua Xiong and his entourage climbed the lookout, and the situation on the battlefield not far away was unobstructed.
"Look, this is the Bagua Array!"
Looking in the direction of Hua Xiong's finger, Zhang Liao and the others gasped.
I saw that on the battlefield, Liu Bei's men and horses formed a gossip shape.
And they could clearly see that the two teams of centaurs were trapped in it, scurrying back and forth like headless flies, but there was no way to break out of the formation.
Those two teams were led by Tai Shici and Liao Hua!
"The Bagua Array, also known as the Bagua Diagram, is a formation created by Zhuge Liang himself.
Through the terrain and soldiers, according to Qimen Dunjia, it is divided into eight gates: rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening.
This formation has thousands of changes, and it can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers. ”
Hua Xiong said slowly.
"No wonder the 20,000 troops didn't make any waves after they entered......"
Li Ru muttered to himself.
Guo Jia came back to his senses from the shock and hurriedly asked,
"Lord, since you know that this array is called the Bagua Array, then you must know how to crack this array."
Hua Xiong bowed slightly,
"I've come up with three ways to break the formation."
"Lord, let's talk about it quickly."
Zhang Liao urged.
"The first is to force an attack with superior forces."
Hua Xiong said in a deep voice,
"It is impossible for the Bagua Array to accommodate unlimited people, and once it reaches the upper limit, it will naturally break itself."
"Then according to the lord, how many people are needed?"
Guo Jia asked.
Hua Xiong stared,
"At least twice as many people."
Liu Bei originally had 70,000 horses, and Tan County had more than 10,000 people.
Yesterday, more than 10,000 people were folded in Zushui, and now there are less than 50,000 people in their hands.
Twice as many enemy troops, then at least 80,000 men!
And they only have 50,000 horses, at this juncture, where are they going to find another 30,000?
Guo Jia shook his head and asked again,
"Lord, what about the second method?"
"The second method is to use artillery units, firing 10,000 cannons, and directly bulldozing them.
But as you know, we didn't bring so many artillery pieces with us when we went to Xuzhou this time.
Besides, Ziyi and Liao Hua are already in the middle of the battle, and there are really so many artillery, and it is impossible to bomb them. ”
Hua Xiong spread his hands.
When everyone thought about it, this was indeed the case.
"What about the third way?"
Zhang Liao asked.
"If you are proficient in this formation, you can lead your troops to attack from the weak point of this formation, and you can also defeat the enemy army."
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.
This gossip array was created by Zhuge Liang.
He is clever and clever, and the formation he created is something that ordinary people can be proficient in?
"It seems that we can only wait for reinforcements to arrive, and bulldoze with superior forces."
Zhang Liao sighed helplessly.
Looking at everyone's dejected appearance, Hua Xiong laughed,
"But coincidentally, there is one person who happens to be proficient in this formation."
"Lord, who is this person?"
Zhang Liao asked.
Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively, "Lord, could it be you?" ”
Zhang Liao suddenly realized, "Then it goes without saying, it must be the lord!" ”
The others didn't even know the name of the gossip array, but Hua Xiong not only recognized it, but also counted it like a treasure.
The person who is proficient in this formation must be him.
"That's natural."
Hua Xiong laughed and got off the lookout.
He took the halberd from Zhou Cang's hand on the side and turned it over on Xiaobai's back.
"Wen Yuan, Zhou Cang!"
"The end will be."
Hua Xiong looked at the battlefield not far away, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"You two, break the formation with me!"
