Chapter 183: The Power of the Eight Arrays

There are praises to praise the power of the "Eight Formations": "The formation is accommodating, the team is accommodating; the former is the back, the future is the front; there is no fast running, no retreat is the front; there are four heads and eight tails, and the touch is the head; the enemy rushes to it, and both ends are saved; the odd is born together, and the cycle is unprovoked; the beginning and the end are corresponding, and the hidden is unpredictable; the anticipation is like a god, and the opportunity is to respond." ”

"The method of eight formations, in a while, two formations obey each other, one battle and one defense; Chinese and foreign weight, rigidity and softness, each other's virtual reality, host and guest succession, longitude and latitude changes, it is precisely because of the base, the odd cause of the breakthrough, the multi-cause interaction, the logistics guarantee. ”

This array is already Xiao Jiang's last hope, he has made a foolproof strategy, and after this pass, he will hand over this array of laws to Xiangyang City, so that the Great Song Dynasty has the power to protect itself, as for what will happen later, Xiao Jiang does not know, he has become unknown for the future of the Great Song Dynasty, because he has inadvertently changed history, although it is a small stone, but it will be a small wave under the long river of history.

At this moment, in Xiao Jiang's hands, life passed like flowing water. Even so, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed. Five hundred people are not 50,000 after all, if there are 50,000 people, these 100,000 cavalry Xiao Jiang dares to let him come and go.

The Mongols gradually realized that the formation in front of them was not simple, and began to concentrate their efforts on dealing with us. But fortunately, those Song people have already entered the city. Even those who deliberately rubbed were also invited in by the martial arts people next to them.

Xiao Jiang knew that the first task had been completed, and now it was time for us to retreat. And this is also the most dangerous time. One bad one will not only wipe out our entire army, but also allow the Mongols to storm the city.

Xiao Jiang waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who were still fighting immediately pulled their horses and turned around and fled, at this moment, they were seen by the Mongolian army, and the commander of the army saw Xiao Jiang and others fleeing in such a hurry, and his heart was full of confidence, and he immediately commanded the army to pursue. Xiao Jiang saw that the fish had already taken the bait, smiled, ignored the pursuers behind him, and still ran forward.

100,000 pursuers Hao Hao Tang Tang pursued Xiao Jiang, the main army of Genghis Khan also saw this battle in his eyes, he seemed to see the suspicion, and immediately commanded all the remaining forces to divide into two groups, one of 150,000 troops followed by pursuit, and the other 50,000 troops went around the rear to attack the rear of Xiangyang City, this move is indeed insidious, and Xiao Jiang does not know these changes, after all, the battlefield is changeable.

Xiao Jiang looked at the rear and saw that there was another army, and the corners of his mouth were smiling again, afraid that they would not come, Xiao Jiang came to the forest thirty miles away, stopped, and waited for the arrival of the Mongolian army.

On the eight array diagram, Zhuge Liang created the eight array diagram according to the military thinking of his predecessors and combined with the essence of Taoism, that is, in the regular octagon, it is evenly divided into eight triangles, and eight formations are arranged in each triangle: the sky covering array, the ground carrying array, the wind lifting array, the cloud hanging array, the dragon flying array, the tiger wing array, the bird flying array, and the snake pan array. Each formation has its own offensive and defensive tactical arrangement, flexible transformation, advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

This kind of formation created by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms is said to be a pile of stones when Zhuge Kongming resisted the enemy

Forming a stone henge, according to Dunjia, it is divided into life, injury, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening eight doors, with ten thousand changes, and can block 100,000 elite soldiers.

The array is the left for the green dragon (array), the right for the white tiger (array), the front for the Vermilion Bird (array), the back for the Xuanwu snake (array), the virtual of which the general resides, the green dragon handed over to Guo Jing, to do the final harvest, the white tiger handed over to the city lord of Xiangyang City, Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird was handed over to the general in the city, Xiao Jiang still trusted them.

Eight formations were also distributed in the general formation, and the total formation was 8864 formations, plus 24 formations of guerrillas. There are 32 arrays of yin and yang, 24 arrays of yang, and 24 arrays of yin. There are 24 formations of guerrillas, and after 60 formations, all marches, formations, joint battles, doubts, filling vacancies, and logistics are all in the guerrillas.

Xiao Jiang's head-on confrontation with the enemy was just to let them relax their vigilance, and then the purpose was to lead the enemy, which was obviously achieved.

The first Mongolian army had just entered the battle, and suddenly, the smoke in the formation was everywhere, the wind was fierce, and the grand shouts of soldiers sounded on all sides, which was deafening, and the war horses in the Mongolian army were frightened and scurried around, and the army was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, the first escort team on Xiao Jiang's side attacked, and suddenly rushed out from all sides, dividing and outflanking the Mongol army, killing people on their backs.

Dark clouds hissed across the sky and pierced the thunderbolts, and the smell of blood-red fish permeated the dead and noisy ruins.

The wails and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the wind again, and the accumulated remnants were hideous and terrifying, and the thick aura made people almost suffocate. At this moment, half of the remaining soldiers on both sides have fallen, and the leaders facing each other in front of the two sides are tired and decisive, and the final decisive battle between Guo Jing and the enemy is already a tragic and catastrophe of rivers of blood.

When Zhuge Liang used this array, it was a large array composed of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, equivalent to a large military camp, waiting for the enemy to attack in all directions, once the enemy entered the array, it was exposed under Zhuge Liang's nose, the enemy was in the light, I was in the dark, Zhuge Liang could use various methods to distract the enemy's attention, such as archery, fire attack, smoke, etc., consume their physical strength, cause them to panic, and make them lack the ability to concentrate on attacking.

Once the enemy forces attack and break through in all directions, the enemy army will be outflanked and destroyed. Distracting the enemy's attention and disintegrating its combat effectiveness is the secret of the victory of the Eight Array Diagram, Xiao Jiang is using the characteristics of the Eight Array Diagram, although the number of people has not reached perfection, but the power should not be underestimated.

The Eight Formations are actually a kind of military formations, and this formation gives full play to the advantages of unity and cooperation to a large extent, which means that the soldiers do not need to face the enemy alone, and a military formation can be regarded as a whole, so that even if you really have 100,000 troops, you can't invest too many troops in an attack.

On the battlefield, the overall numerical superiority is actually not as good as the local numerical superiority, even if you have a lot more people overall, but if you have a local five or even a dozen ten, no matter how you can't bear it, besides, Xiao Jiang also picked a good place, under the terrain advantage, no matter how difficult it is, it is also difficult for the opponent.

It was also the same, and soon, less than 30,000 of the 100,000 Mongol troops were killed from 100,000, and they realized that something was wrong

They wanted to escape, but it was impossible, just when they were about to despair and wanted to sacrifice their bodies to the god of the steppe, their reinforcements arrived, but in vain.

Once this formation was formed, it was the path to killing, so soon their hopes were as fragile as bubbles, and soon, they returned to the state of despair that Fang Cai, and the only thing they changed was to add a trace of fear, unbelievable.

Xiao Jiang looked at everything in front of him from a distance, he felt that something was wrong, because he didn't see Genghis Khan, he didn't have the joy of victory, and thought deeply.

Suddenly stunned, only then did he come back to his senses and understand that he had fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Xiao Jiang immediately, turned to Guo Jing and said, the rest of the matters are handed over to Guo Jing, he immediately cast Ling Bo Weibu and went towards Xiangyang City with all his strength, Guo Jing looked confused, but he did not delay, and turned to deal with the remaining Mongolian army.

Soon came to Xiangyang City, and sure enough, Genghis Khan was here, and they met resistance, so they delayed for a while, but this also gave Xiao Jiang room for redemption.

Genghis Khan's eyes were cold, he didn't expect that a small city would cost him so much energy.

The most important thing is that at this moment, there is a person and a sword, who wants to fight against his 50,000 elite soldiers, he has no smile in his heart, and for some reason there is a wave of anger.

Xiao Jiang didn't care, he shook his spirits and jumped out of the formation. After a long time, he said lightly: "Ah! Fortunately, I caught up, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

As he spoke, he drew his sword, which had not been used. Now Xiao Jiang wants to play crazy with a single sword.

Sword qi rushed out from the sword in Xiao Jiang's hand. As usual, a three-foot-long white mang was revealed, and there was no time to put on any image, so he picked up his sword and made a move at will, and a sword qi more than twenty meters long suddenly appeared in front of people. No less powerful than the eighteen dragon-descending palms that Guo Jing struck out with all his might.
