Chapter 178: Formation
"It seems that your sect's research on the formation is still very profound!" Xia Xu was also pleased to hear Zong Hu's introduction.
With such an ability as an ally, Xia Xu knows that the road ahead is a little easier!
"You brothers and sisters should be proficient in formations, right?" I see that you are also eloquent about formations!" Xia Xu asked.
Zong Hu smiled: "My sister and I grew up together, everything she learned, of course I also learned!
"It's just that I'm the first successor of the duke, I have to put more thought on the court, and for the formations, my sister just likes to study them out of personal hobby!"
Xia Xu nodded: "I can see that you also like formations, but you are just entangled in mundane things, but I see that you seem to know a little bit about formations!"
"That's right! The use of the formation lies in the arrangement of the formation! You listen to me!"
Zong Hu immediately became interested, "The formation is dead, the person is alive, and the formation is especially important......
Not long after Zong Hu first started to tell Xia Xu about the formation, Xia Xu frowned slightly.
"You're not right, this is a wrong understanding!" Xia Xu interrupted Zong Hu's words.
"Oh, where does this start? I would like to hear about it, now that we have sent people to search the whereabouts of the Eastern Emperor Bell, now it is rare to have a chance to communicate, Brother Marquis, tell me your opinion on the formation!"
Xia Xu nodded, he admired Zong Hu's attitude!
How important!
The so-called formation diagram is to draw the formation into a figure, draw it on the brocade, paper, on the ground or pile it up with sand and gravel to form an intuitive physical object, which is the formation diagram.
The text that recorded the formation in ancient times has not been handed down, and the eight-array diagram has been lost in the Middle Ages.
However, it is said that the monarch of the Ghost Thai Empire once made eight formations of stones, and it is said that the remains of the eight eight and sixty-four piles of stones by the Yubelly River are the eight formations he left behind, combined with a few words about the eight formations, and carry out a reasonable simulation, modern soldiers believe that the eight formations are a kind of group phalanx, each of the eight formations has eight small formations distributed in the eight directions around the central middle array, and the center of the eight formations is the general, the golden drum banner, and the soldiers and horses directly under it, which is the middle array.
Each small array has code names such as heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, etc. This is the saying that "there are nine formations", so there are also eight formations called nine army formations.
The formation of each direction is six small formations, the middle formation is sixteen small formations, and the entire large phalanx has a total of sixty-four small formations, which is just in line with the number of eight eight sixty-four piles of stone relics in the fish belly river.
After the large phalanx, there may be twenty-four small formations composed of rangers, for a total of eighty-eight small formations.
These small phalanxes can be cavalry, infantry, convoys, composed of dozens to hundreds, the front row is the crossbowman, the middle is the long weaponman, the back row is the short soldier, sometimes the order of arrangement is also different, the eight formations in order to delay the enemy's attack, give full play to the power of the crossbowmen, and also set up obstacles such as rushing cars, antlers, and thistles when defending.
Zhuge Eight Formations belong to defensive formations, the advantage is that there is no weakness in deployment, any direction is attacked, the overall large array does not need to make fundamental changes, one is attacked, the two adjacent formations can automatically become two wings, protecting and supporting the attacked array.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, first of all, such a complex Zhuge Eight Formation requires a lot of time to train, and the mobility is poor, in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, it is not allowed to run when it is forward, and it is not allowed to run when it is backward.
This is "the front is the back, the future is the front, the front has no speed, and there is no retreat".
Therefore, the eight formations are a very conservative formation of defensive nature.
Without a big defeat, it is also difficult to achieve a big victory.
But I personally think that the above is only the foundation or prototype of the Zhuge Eight Formations, because relying on such a rigid formation, it seems impossible to resist with weak strength for decades without major defeats, and it is not commensurate with the position of the Zhuge Eight Formations that has been praised for thousands of years, and the combat area belongs to the mountainous environment, and the Eight Formations are more suitable for infantry to fight in the plains.
Therefore, I personally believe that there should be many changes in the Zhuge Eight Formation, and when there are restrictions on the position, such as ditches and trees, they should be adjusted according to the actual situation.
Moreover, when marching, there should be various changes in formation when attacking, but due to the limitation of information, it is quite difficult to study the Zhuge Eight Formations in depth. Moreover, I personally believe that the so-called Zhuge Eight Formations is not only a combat formation, but through the training of the "Eight Formations", the Shu Army's operational guiding ideology, establishment, and training have been infiltrated into the human race......
And Li Jing is based on the Zhuge Eight Formations, compiling and practicing the Six Flower Formations...... The so-called six-flower array is a formation like "six flowers".
The Chinese army is in the center, and the front army, the left army, the left Yu Hou army, the rear army, the right army, and the right Yu Hou army are distributed around the Chinese army!
The six-flower array has a circular formation, a square formation, a curved formation, a vertical formation, a sharp formation and other formations, each of the five formations has five variations, a total of 25 changes, the general can adopt different formations according to different enemy conditions, terrain, attack and defense, etc.
Due to the threat of the northern demon tribes, and the lack of sufficient quantity and quality of cavalry, in order to compete with the nomadic cavalry with the main infantry on the plain.
Therefore, among the dynasties, it is the dynasty that attaches the most importance to the array...... However, the implementation is "will be from the emperor", every time the general goes out to fight, the emperor must "draw a formation, rule the temple to win, give discipline, remote control is cheap, the commander obeys, and the nobles supervise......
In order to better control the generals who lead the troops into battle, the generals are often awarded the formation map before the troops are dispatched, and the specific tactics of the front line are stipulated in the deep palace.
Therefore, after the unification of the human race, most of the wars with the demon race ended in failure...... The development of the formation gradually tended to be conservative.
In ancient times, the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" recorded that the commonly used formations mainly included the Chang Formation, the Pingrong Wanquan Formation, and the Eight Formations of the Ben Dynasty......
Standing formation: When the army fights, the troops are often divided into various parts such as forwards and guards, and the formation composed of each part is called "permanent formation".
In other words, in military conquest, troops are often divided into various parts according to their tactical purpose, formed into "permanent formations", and then combined together to fight.
It includes the following formations: vanguard formation, strategy vanguard formation, large formation, front formation, east and west kidnapping horse formation, landless division of horses, rejection of the rear formation, strategy palace rear formation, etc.
The vanguard formation is a battle formation composed of forward troops. The forward units resemble the modern avant-garde units.
The task of the vanguard is to "rush to the front, trap the strong formation, and attack the sharp division", so the Northern Song Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, "select elite soldiers and place the vanguard array". The vanguard formation is a battle formation composed of troops that respond to the vanguard, "placed behind the vanguard formation". This formation is led by a "cavalry general".
When "the vanguard resists the enemy or the army is not strong, the vanguard is planned to respond" to control the enemy's "rush". The Great Array, also known as the Central Army Formation, is a battle formation composed of the main horse and infantry troops. Generally growth formations or phalanxes.
When arranging the formation, "with the rifle and knife hand of the infantry army in front, mixed with side signs, javelins, when the formation is combined with cloth, wooden horses, or occasionally with a cart, it is called 'the foot soldiers'". And the strong bows and crossbows are arranged behind it. At the same time, "four gates were opened in a burst, and the cavalry was in them, waiting for the battle, that is, opening the door and letting the team out."
In short, the main force was in the form of a "car battalion" and lined up on all sides to defend against the enemy's "sudden galloping". When it is time to play, open the doors on all sides and let the "team" play. Front: It is a strange soldier deployed in front of the "Chinese Army".
"The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" says, "When the enemy is in the right position, the decisive victory is with surprise soldiers, and the front and back can correspond, then the victory is always won and undefeated."
The "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" also quoted the method of grasping Qitu and the Liao army's formation after the wind, and believed that the number of odd soldiers should account for one-third of the number of troops in the large array.
East and West Kidnappers Horse Formation!
This is a kind of arrangement that directly protects the large array, "for the left and right flanks of the large array".
The reason why this array is placed is because "Yi Di uses soldiers, each bow and cavalry is violently gathered, and the large array is biased, and one side cannot defend it, then there is a rush to the trouble, because of the abduction array, thinking that it is rescue".
The number of troops in this formation is also based on the number of soldiers in the large formation, and it is temporarily selected.
Divided into Horses: It is a mobile unit controlled by the large array of the Chinese army. It is arranged around the "Great General's Camp Array" and "Prepared for Urgent Drive". Its troops are drawn from the teams formed by the various command posts.
The number of mobile units is "temporarily separated, and there is no fixed number".
Rear Formation: Also known as "Rear Palace", it is a battle formation composed of rearguard troops, which is deployed behind the large formation of the Chinese army to prevent the enemy from attacking from behind.
People believe that in the case of "the system of military formations, the grain route is in the rear," in order to prevent the "grain route from being cut off," it is very necessary to refuse the rear formation.
The "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" says that the failures of several battles are all related to the "grain route" being "cut off" by the enemy. Therefore, starting from the true sect, attention should be paid to placing "the palace of soldiers" so that "it can be used in a hurry, so that there is no danger of suffering from the enemy".
"Formation behind the palace": It is a battle formation composed of troops behind the palace. It is set up between the rear-end and the main force. Pingrong Wanquan Array: It was personally made and awarded to the general by Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, so it was highly valued. The Pingrong Wanquan Array is composed of five armies, the front and rear, the left, the center and the right, the square formation of about 17 miles square deploys the main infantry in the center of the formation, strengthens the chariots, forms three car battalions to enhance the defense and attack capabilities of the infantry, and deploys the cavalry in the front, rear, left and right to serve as a guard and cover the central array......
This is a conservative defensive formation, with the infantry as the main force against the northern nomadic cavalry on the plains.
The large array of the Chinese army is composed of three phalanxes and is the main force of the whole array......
There were sixty-two cavalry teams in the forefront, each with fifty horsemen, a total of three thousand one hundred cavalry. Sixty-two teams of thirty cavalrymen each, for a total of 1,860 cavalrymen. There were four thousand nine hundred and sixty cavalry in two columns, plus forty cavalry from the spies, for a total of five thousand cavalry.
There were a total of 10,000 cavalry in the front and rear formations. East and west, two columns each. One hundred and twenty-five teams in the front, fifty cavalry in each team, a total of six thousand two hundred and fifty cavalry!
One hundred and twenty-five regiments of thirty cavalrymen each, for a total of three thousand seven hundred and fifty cavalry.
There were 10,000 cavalry in each formation, and 650 cavalry from spies, for a total of 20,650 cavalry.
The Pingrong Wanquan Formation, with a total of 140,903 troops, and 1,440 large carts used for the defense of the chariot battalion. The front of the large army formation in this formation is about 17 miles wide! The front and rear formations are 65 steps in front of each team, and the front is about 11 miles and 70 steps in total!
There are eight formations, including the square array, the circle array, the Mu array, the rushing array, the Fu Zhi array, the wheel array, and the goose formation...... The strength and formation used in the eight formations were based on Li Jing's formation, and each formation was composed of 14,000 horse infantry troops. Among them, the infantry army was organized into 200 teams, each team of 50 people, a total of 10,000 people!
There were 80 teams of horses, 50 people in each team, and 4,000 people in total.
Each type of formation is divided into seven armies, such as the Tang Dynasty army, the middle army, the left and right Yu Hou, the left and right, and the front and rear.
In each array, "every ten people are in a row, all facing each other, and their backs are inherited".
"One pawn occupies two steps, one horse and two steps". In addition to the circle, the "Eight Formations of the Dynasty" are accompanied by formation diagrams in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts".
The name of the troops in each formation, the "garrison" in the figure, that is, the "formation foot soldiers", the so-called formation soldiers, is that these troops are in the early stage of the formation, occupy enough territory, prevent the enemy from rushing into the formation, and protect themselves calmly Arrange the formation, and after the formation is completed, it is to maintain the shape of the formation, often composed of crossbowmen as the main force, and there are often archers who shoot the feet, which is for this!
The "Strikers", "Warriors", "Jumping", and "Odd Soldiers" in the picture are the soldiers in the battle and the troops without land.
The names of the seven armies in the picture also follow the military vocabulary, such as the right Yu Hou and the right army, that is, the vanguard and pioneer generals of the Northern Song Dynasty!
The front army and the rear army, that is, the left and right rib generals of the Northern Song Dynasty!
Zuo Yuhou, Zuo Jun, that is, the queen of the palace and the general of the palace.
The name of the eight formations in this dynasty is called the eight formations, but because the circle array and the wheel array are originally the same array and different names, there are actually only seven kinds of arrays.
Looking at the names of the eight formations, the diagram of the seven formations, and the explanations made in the "General Essentials of the Martial Classics", it can be seen that the names of the eight formations are not much different from the previous generation, but they are essentially different from the previous generation in terms of the arrangement of various formations.
The ancient eight formations are all changes in the arrangement of the main forces of the army, and the so-called "eight formations of this dynasty", in addition to the circle array and the wheel array, the main force is always lined up in a phalanx of defense around the perimeter, but with a small number of troops, in the front and back of the main phalanx, to make some symbolic changes, to attach to the symbol of the ancient meaning, which is completely different from the ancient eight formations. It can be said that the eight formations of this dynasty can be said to be a kind of deformed phalanx. Although the eight formations of the previous generation also had defensive formations, they were mainly offensive formations, and the "eight formations of this dynasty" of the Song Dynasty, in essence, all became defensive formations on all sides. In other words, the main forces of each formation still did not depart from the mode of pure defense, and they did not inherit the offensive spirit of their predecessors. The emergence of such a situation cannot but be said to be related to the conservative military thinking of adopting a purely defensive approach.
Of course, this is also related to the threat faced at that time, because unlike the previous generation, there is a lack of cavalry, and the demon clan with strong mobility is faced, so the two wings and the flanks and rear directions are always threatened. The cone and other formations are an offensive formation facing a certain direction, and the defense of the flanks is greatly weakened, in fact, the ancient eight formations are a combined formation, and each part is arranged into the ancient eight formations, and then form a larger formation. Among them, there should also be a variety of changes between formations, but today it is impossible to test, and these things are the essence of the ancient Chinese formation.
In the absence of sufficient cavalry, it seems impossible to use the infantry formation to attack the highly mobile cavalry, because when the battle situation is unfavorable, the cavalry can leave the battle at any time, or attack the flank and rear direction in a roundabout way, so it is still appropriate to adopt a phalanx or circular formation to defend the cavalry in the field. The mistake of the Song's eight formations in this dynasty is that they shouldn't do so many flowers, if the phalanx can work flowers, why complicate things, and have to make a nondescript eight formations.
It seems that this is also the product of literati who are divorced from the actual battle array. Of course, it is not excluded that the formation diagram of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" may be inaccurate. There is a great shortage of cavalry in the army, accounting for only one-seventh of the total number of the whole army, and three or four out of ten of the cavalry are often horseless!
In the middle and later periods, due to the extensive use of firearms, the denser formation in the cold weapon era would cause greater casualties. In the southeast coastal zone, there are fewer plains and more mountains, and large-scale formations cannot be spread. In the face of the threat of the demon clan looting along the southeast coast of our country, many of the demon clan are wandering warriors, with strong individual combat ability, using katana and other weapons, especially good at "jumping battle" method, using a relatively loose formation, the Ming army often falls into passivity when encountering the fierce demon clan.
Therefore, a kind of small concentrated and large dispersed mandarin duck array has been developed, which has changed from a large array to a small array, and from dense to dispersed, which is an innovation in the formation.
The Mandarin Duck Formation is the most basic combat unit, and this formation is preceded by two players, one of whom is the long player, one of the rattan players, one of whom is the captain, then two wolf millers, then four pikemen, and finally two short soldiers. When fighting, the player faces the enemy, the rest of the people line up in a column, and the rest of the people hide behind the players, with the wolf milling as the main offensive force, and the spear takes people's lives, and the short soldiers are to prevent the enemy from entering, or the long soldiers are tired of attacking.
The Mandarin Duck Formation was successfully used in the re-battle and achieved a great victory.
The Mandarin Duck Formation is the most basic formation, and there are many variations. For example, the mandarin duck formation of two columns, this is the basic formation!
The two ceremonial arrays changed by the mandarin duck array, the big three talent formation horizontal team, is to turn the formation of the two armies into a horizontal team, the captain holds the card in the center, a wolf milling on the left and right, and the wolf mills a card for two spears, and the short soldiers are behind.
This is a formation adopted on a narrow road; one end, two wings, and one tail formation, the troops participating in the battle are divided into four parts, with the former being the head, and the main attacking force!
The two flanks are surprise troops, protecting the flank and rear direction of the head, attacking the enemy's flank at the right time, and the tail is the response force, ready to reinforce in any direction.
Among the military formations, it is worth mentioning the various formations of the Taiping Army.
Puller: This is a marching battle formation, similar to a modern marching column.
When marching, they must be ordered to march in a leading formation, each of which will carry a banner and be followed by 25 men, a 100 men will be a long flag, 500 men will be a brigade commander banner, 2,500 men will be a division commander banner, and 12,500 men will be a commander banner. One army after another advanced. The wide road is divided into two rows, and the narrow road is one-way.
In the march, once there is an encounter, the head and tail are bent and hooked, and they gather in an instant to form a circle. If the battle is unfavorable, the general will strike the gong as a signal to retreat, still hold the battle formation of the lead formation, at this time, according to the width of the road, it can be divided into ten lines and twenty lines, but it is not allowed to run diagonally, and it will also be retreated, and the lead formation is in a hurry, and the enemy often can't catch up, that is, he catches up, and sees that the team is not chaotic, and he does not dare to chase hard.
Crab Formation: This is a battle formation with three parallel configurations, with a small number of people in the middle and a large number of people on both wings, which resembles a crab, so it is called a crab formation. This kind of formation is extremely flexible, and it also changes a lot according to the enemy's situation. If the enemy is divided into only two teams, the left and right flanks will be divided between the squadrons of the formation, and they will also be divided into two teams. If the enemy has a team in the front and rear, the strikers on the left and right flanks will be combined into one team, and the rear half of the left and right flanks will be combined with the middle team to be evenly lined up, so that the front team will respond. If the enemy's left team has a large number of troops, it will become a left formation. If the right team has more soldiers, it will become a right formation. If the enemy has four or five teams, it will also be divided into four or five teams to meet the attack.
Its big crab wrap small crab formation is particularly famous, its method or first to engage the enemy with a small array, and then out of the large array to surround it, or deceive the temptation to chase, ambush soldiers in all directions, the enemy is surrounded. Although the changes in the crab formation are complicated, the loss of the left and the benefit of the right, moving the rear to the front, and the magic of its use lies in the fact that the commander will temporarily command according to the enemy's situation. The speed of its advance and retreat, opening and closing, only a few big flag bearers need to be skillful, and the whole army will rush there when the big flag is headed. Therefore, a military has a few big standard-bearers, you can command the crowd, slightly uneven, the outline is leading, and the crab array is used to simplify and control the complexity, also known as the purse array, also known as the lotus tail array.
Hundred Bird Formation: This is a formation that uses suspicious soldiers. It is especially suitable for fighting the enemy in the wilderness of Pingchuan, with 25 people as a small team, the troops are divided into 100 or dozens of teams, as if the sky is scattered with stars, so that the enemy is suspicious and does not know how many people there are, and each team has the same number of people, and does not know where to attack first, and cannot advance, so it is defeated every time.
Lying in the ground: also known as the Crouching Tiger Formation, every time the enemy comes to chase, retreat to the place where the water is poor and the mountain is blocked, the commander gives the order, suddenly a big flag falls down, thousands of flags are served, and thousands of people are lying on the ground in an instant, silent and silent, accumulating morale. When the enemy army chased after him, he could not see a single Taiping army, he was wandering in surprise and suspicious, when the Taiping army gave an order, suddenly a big flag was raised, a thousand flags were raised, thousands of people were rushing in the wind, shouting and roaring, turning the face to the enemy, pounced on the enemy, and turned victory into defeat. The Taiping army repeatedly used this formation to defeat the Qing army in Chang and other places. Personally, I think that this battle formation is also particularly suitable for frontal combat in the era of mixed hot and cold weapons.
Because lying on the ground can reduce the frontal projection, reducing the lethality of the enemy's long-range firearms. The Taiping soldiers used these formations, and under the conditions at that time, they played a huge role.
The Taiping Heaven almost overthrew its rule, and it is indeed unique. These formations have no predecessors, and they are especially suitable for the military and technical conditions of the time, which shows that the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has such a large climate must be where capable people are. In ancient times, most of the commanders of military formations were composed of golden drums, banners, cannons, horns, and heralds.
There are four types of military flags: the flag, the trumpet flag, the general's recognition flag, the flag for identification, and others.
Dayan, also known as 旄旆. Yinyin Mao, refers to the flag decorated with the tail of the yak, and can also be widely referred to as the precious flag decorated with animal fur and feathers. It refers to a flag with sharp horns at the end of the tail, mostly in the shape of a swallowtail. Such flags are often held by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of a noble position. When the commander fights, he often builds a large number of people and his side. Therefore, sometimes, it is often found that there are many judges whether their coach is in the formation based on whether they have built a big man. And this Da Min is often the target of the enemy's concentrated attack, and often the officers and men of the whole army always pay attention to where the Da Min is. Whether or not you have it will even affect the outcome of the battle!
It is also possible to replace the Da Min with the handsome flag or the military flag.
The trumpet flag, or signal flag, is used to indicate the transmission of commands. The identification of military flags is used to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Such flags tend to be the most numerous. In addition to the flags, the three armies are often commanded with golden drums, cannons, horns and other instruments that can make loud noises. "Hear the drum and advance, sound the gold and retreat", that is, the signal to attack when the drum is beaten, and the gong is a signal to retreat, and so on.
The battle formation is the source of the soldier's morale, especially for the side whose individual combat ability is weaker than the opponent's, it is necessary to pay more attention to maintaining the formation.
Only by maintaining the formation can the power of group combat be brought into play.
At this point, the human race is much clearer than the demon race.
In ancient wars, as in today's wars, the greatest casualties and results were not in organized confrontation, but after the destruction of the organized battle of the enemy.
The array, on the other hand, is the external manifestation of the organization of operations. That is, the slaughter begins only after the formation is destroyed. Therefore, when there is not much difference in strength and the two sides face off against each other, the two sides of the battle often try to destabilize the enemy's formation. For example, in ancient times, in a confrontation between Chu and Jin, the Chu army forced the camp to set up a formation to prevent the Jin army from forming a formation.
The Jin army filled in the stove pit well, removed the camp tent, and finally removed the fence to form a formation. In the process of arranging the formation, archers are often dispatched to occupy and control a certain area, and use long-range attack weapons to control a large area to "shoot the position" and prevent the enemy from charging into the formation.
When breaking the formation, or send strong warriors as the lead, break into the formation and then force the army to break through, and the people who are trapped in the formation refer to this. Or lure enemy troops into difficult terrain.
Or attack weak areas in a roundabout way. Here we can talk about the problem of generals going head-to-head and charging.
It is true that a general goes head-to-head or a general takes the lead in a charge.
The earliest records should have occurred in the Spring and Autumn period. In some periods, due to the lack of grass-roots units, poor organizational quality, and weak equipment, certain well-equipped generals with superb martial arts skills have become the core of an army, and their life and death determine the success or failure of this army.
There are many examples of generals going head-to-head, or galloping across a million armies, due to the consumption of a large number of elite troops. The armies of the various warlord organizations lack grassroots organization, lack of training, and low morale, and can easily collapse when they encounter unpredictable circumstances, such as raiding camps, ambushes, running out of food, and fire attacks. This is why there have been several times when less is more.
Defeat the majority of the army that lacks training and integration with a small number of elite and warlike troops, for example, the Battle of Guandu, because of the lack of food, and Yuan Shao's army collapsed!
In the Battle of Chibi, because of the fire attack, 800,000 Cao troops were annihilated!
The battle of Haoyiling, because of the fire attack, defeated the Sichuan and Shu army.
However, with the formation of the Dingli, all countries have reorganized and trained their armies, and at this time, it is mainly based on the group operations of the army, and it is rare for some generals to go head-to-head, and the leading generals of various countries have also changed from the original emphasis on individual force to the transformation of the generals' leadership and strategic ability, and in this lack of grass-roots organizations, it is very normal for generals to go head-to-head.
There is also a relationship of mutual restraint.
Ordinary Formation: Restrained Ground Carrying Array, Cloud Hanging Array, Tiger Wing Array, Snake Pan Array!
Sky Covering Array: Restraint Ordinary Array, Ground Carrying Array, Dragon Flying Array, Bird Flying Array!
Ground-borne Array: Restrain the Wind Array, Cloud Hanging Array, Tiger Wing Array, and Snake Pan Array;
Wind Array: Restrain ordinary formations, sky covering formations, bird flying formations, snake pan formations, and be restrained by other formations.
Cloud Hanging Array: Restrain the Sky Covering Array, the Wind Rising Array, the Bird Flying Array, and the Snake Pan Array, and be restrained by the rest of the formations.
Dragon Flying Array: Restraint ordinary array, ground carrying array, wind lifting array, cloud hanging array, restrained by other formations.
Tiger Wing Array: Restrain the Sky Covering Array, the Wind Rising Array, the Cloud Hanging Array, and the Dragon Flying Array, and be restrained by the rest of the formations.
Bird Flying Array: Restraint ordinary formation, ground carrying array, dragon flying array, tiger wing array, restraint by other formations.
Snake Pan Array: Restrain the Sky Covering Array, Dragon Flying Array, Tiger Wing Array, Bird Flying Array, and be restrained by the rest of the formations.
But these formations, in Xia Xu's eyes, are all pediatrics!
The formations that Xia Xu arranged on the battlefield outside the sky were all extremely powerful!
Among them, the strongest formations made the gods and demons flee in the wind!
Frightened!
Hug your head and run away!
Among them, the most powerful is the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Array: made of the twelve ancestors and witches, the first battle array of the flood wilderness, which can condense the Pangu projection.
It's a pity that the twelve ancestral witches can't always appear at the same time, the true power of this formation is almost never revealed, in the Lich War, this formation formed by the Houtu cloth replaced by Xingtian is evenly matched with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.
Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array: It is composed of 365 demon gods, 14,800 big demons, and is composed of star flags, and the momentum is huge. It is also said that the three hundred and sixty-five demon gods are the mainstay, with a total of 129,600 demon arrays. However, because it requires a powerful magic weapon to suppress the array eye, it is inferior to the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Array.
Zhuxian Sword Array: It is composed of the four swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian sword, which cannot be broken unless the four saints. Invented by Rahu, who has the same strength as Hongjun, and later arranged by the Tongtian Sect Master, it can be one enemy and four, and the existence of the Zhuxian Sword Diagram allows this array to be arranged in an instant, and it is extremely powerful.
Ten Thousand Immortal Array: It is composed of the interception sect known as the Ten Thousand Immortals Dynasty, and there can be other small arrays in the array. The magic weapon in the formation, the Six Soul Flags, can directly collect the souls of six people at most, and even the saints are restless and in a trance.
