Chapter 547 Juyu Pass
Wan Peng said, "I know you don't know the bottom of your heart, so I want to take the troops to Juyuguan." Very objectively speaking, I have fought a lot more battles than you can imagine. Previously, every day, without exception, I would be involved in war. It's a place I don't want to fight and kill anymore. However, this is only my wish. In this world, if you want to move towards your goal, you must inevitably fight and kill, and I am like that, and so are you. ”
Yo You knew that Wan Peng didn't finish speaking, so he didn't say anything. Wan Peng paused for a moment and continued, "However, once the passion and pleasure of commanding thousands of troops and horses passes, you will feel a sense of guilt and guilt. War is the most primitive and violent way, and if it can be avoided, it must be avoided. So, after I get to the clouds, I don't want to bring troops to help you fight. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that I want to leave here in a hurry. In other heavens, if I don't fight, I can't leave here. And only with you, in the sky, I can choose not to fight, but to break the seal and leave. ”
"Then why do you still want to ask me to go to war?" Youyou was extremely puzzled by Wan Peng's words, "Since you don't want to fight, then you just wait until the Seven Stars are aligned." Although it is difficult to attack, I believe that the rebels are just defending the danger, and as long as the time is long enough, they will definitely be able to capture it. ”
Wan Peng shook his head, "No, maybe you can't attack it." In the past few days, in my spare time, I have studied in detail the current situation you are in. Juyu Pass is located in a dangerous place, and about one-tenth of the area of the Demon Realm is demarcated, and outside of Juyu Pass, you don't know what the situation is. Once these people use Juyuguan as a barrier, integrate and reorganize their forces, and then counterattack your dynasty, for you, there will only be attrition. And Juyuguan can't be attacked for a long time, naturally there are reasons for it. Either you're attacking in the wrong way, or there's something strange going on there. In this way, it will always be a great trouble for you if you do not get rid of it. So, I'm going to help you one more time before I leave. ”
Princess Yoyou was obviously very moved, "Thank you." ”
Wan Peng took a deep breath, "Don't thank me. I help you because I see in you the power of righteousness. I believe you can be a good demon king, and I hope that your day of becoming a good demon king will come sooner and better. Also, recently I checked the terrain of Juyuguan and found it strange. That's probably why you can't take it. Your troops, what's the message back to you?"
Yoyou said, "Previously, according to intelligence, there were only more than 30,000 rebels in Juyuguan, and I sent troops in a ratio of three to one, a total of 100,000 people. However, in the first siege of the city, the troops lost more than 40,000 troops, which was nearly half. The intelligence feedback, the defenders are all brave and abnormal, with one enemy and ten. After that, our troops were stationed outside the border, and there was no real major conflict between the two sides. ”
Wan Peng said, "That's right, it's the same as what I've heard." In fact, when you think about it, this is strange. If their soldiers are really so good at fighting, how can they be closed? If I command, even if I do not organize a frontal attack and directly drive out the remaining 50,000 troops, I will definitely continue to send small groups of men to harass you, wear down your troops, and finally attack on all fronts. ”
Princess Yoyou was reminded by Wan Peng, and she immediately reacted. During this time, because she was commanding multi-front operations, there was no conflict after being stationed there in Juyuguan, so she didn't think much about it. Now that I savor it, Wan Peng's analysis is really reasonable. "What do you think?"
Wan Peng took out a jade slip, and after driving it, he showed a picture, which he had drawn by hand. "This is a map converted from a map near Juyuguan. First of all, look at Juyuguan. It is a canyon formed by two mountains. This canyon is S-shaped, with Juyuguan at its central point. The mountains on both sides, each with a peak, are located near the midpoint of the semicircle on either side of the S-shape. I'm going to pick them up separately, and that's it. ”
He drove it again, and a pattern of a yin-yang fish appeared. "It's called a yin-yang fish. In the Demon Realm, you may not understand much comparatively, because you are based on the Six Desires formation. But in other clouds, it's something that even a three-year-old knows. Especially in Zixiao, this thing is very meaningful, because Zixiao is also called Yin and Yang Xiao. The yin-yang fish is the basis of the formation. ”
"You mean, there is a natural formation here?" said Yo You, who was said by Wan Peng, and his spirit was also lifted. If this is the case, it could also explain why the rebels at Juyuguan did not pursue. Because they won the first battle by relying on natural formations. As soon as they come out, they will lose this advantage!
"And that's not all. Wan Peng said, "In terms of the formation of our cultivator realm, in addition to yin and yang, there are also gossip elements. The gossip is Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. Among them, Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Xun represents the wind, Zhen represents the thunder, Kan represents the water, Li represents the fire, Gen represents the mountain, and Dui represents the Ze. In Juyuguan, you look at these places. ”
Wan Peng drove again on the map, and eight red circled marks appeared. "In this direction, there is a lonely mountain, which you call the Heavenly Pillar. And on the other side of it is a natural pit, which you call the Pool. Their actual position corresponds to the Qianhe Kun in the Bagua. ”
Wan Peng continued, "Then, look at this. This is a valley where several mountains gather in the middle of the mountains, and due to the squeezing of the valley, a wind outlet is formed, which corresponds to Xun. This place is called Thunder Valley, and because the air is humid and convective all year round, lightning strikes are continuous, corresponding to earthquakes. Here, the river passes, is water, which corresponds to the kan. Here, there is a volcano that spews out magma, which corresponds to the separation. Here, although there is no special landform, on the other side of it, there is a swamp, which corresponds to Dui. On the other hand, this place has no special landforms, because among the mountains, it naturally corresponds to the Gen, which represents the mountain. ”
Wan Peng once again made many blue rivers appear on the map, "But those yin and yang and gossip elements are not enough to form a formation, because the lines of the formation are missing." However, it is precisely these rivers that make up the formation patterns here. The big river you're looking at now is the big backbone line, and these tributaries. With that, he showed some other blue channels again.
Princess Yoyou said at this time, "Then you mean that a formation has been formed here, and the defense has been strengthened?"
Wan Peng nodded, "But maybe it's not that the defense has been strengthened, but that the subsequent human attack has been strengthened." Referring to these natural landforms, I built a model of this formation. Theoretically, this formation is established and can be run. However, whether I use spiritual power or demonic energy to drive, it can't run smoothly. It makes me feel that there is one thing missing from its operation, a special power. ”
Princess Yoyo said, "What power?"
Wan Peng shook his head, "I don't know, and I'm not sure." However, since I can read part of the composition of this formation, I can find the best way to avoid the influence of the formation. Therefore I will ask you for troops. First, I want to help you get through the difficulties, and second, I am also interested in this natural formation. ”
Princess Yoyou nodded, "Okay, I promise you! I will allocate 100,000 troops now, and it is up to you to determine when to leave!"
Wan Peng smiled, "Okay." Once your forces have been assembled, I will need five days to train them. 100,000 people, I estimate, a third will be eliminated. It's not that I don't think of their personal qualities, but because I'm going to choose someone who can fight against this formation. ”
The light of trust in Princess Yoyou's eyes flashed, "One hundred thousand troops are handed over to you, how to use it is your freedom." ”
Five days later.
Wan Peng had already divided his 100,000 troops into two groups, of which less than 60,000 had been selected by him. The remaining 40,000 people were obviously a little depressed, but Wan Peng didn't intend to let them be discouraged like this, but specially studied and modified a small battle formation in Liyang to become a battle formation suitable for magic power-driven, and let them train it.
In this way, after a little time, these more than 40,000 people will become another elite force of Youyou, which can be regarded as an explanation for these people.
And the remaining nearly 60,000 people, together with Wan Peng, marched towards Juyu Pass.
Juyu Pass spans the main road, the mountain is steep, and in the military history of the demon world, there are records and descriptions of easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the first dangerous pass in the demon world. However, in the military history of the Demon Realm, there are many examples of successful captures, and the tactics are all strong attacks without exception, and the ratio of the number of people is only around three to one.
This made Wan Peng feel strange too. The strength of Yo You's subordinates is not bad in combat. So he was suspicious that something had changed in Juyuguan. At the same time, the kind of power that can support the operation of the Juyuguan Great Array is also a point that both he and Liyang are curious about.
Because in all the simulations of the two of them, none of them can support the operation of the formation model!
After five days of rapid marching, 60,000 troops had reached 50 miles outside Juyu Pass. This is also the place where the last wave of troops were stationed, and after Wan Peng connected with the commander-in-chief of the last wave troops, he told them that they could now withdraw to the magic capital, and Princess Yo You had other arrangements.
And some of the information Wan Peng got from them caught his attention. They described that during the battle, the guards were extremely tenacious, even if they were missing arms and legs, they were able to continue fighting, beyond the limits of ordinary people's patience, until the last moment before death.
This is not a normal phenomenon. But it is not excluded that this is the role of the formation. The people in Juyuguan must have understood the role of this formation, so they did not go out of the pass to pursue.
And it just so happened that the guards of Juyuguan came from an unusual background.
Of course, this is not ordinary, not that he has a good bloodline, not that he is a famous general, but his background and experience. He was originally just a small farmer, but he was later elected to the Executive Yuan of the Demon Capital, and after that, he served as a historian.
In the past, Wan Peng would not have paid attention to this person. However, since experiencing a historian who set off a lot of wind and waves, Wan Peng has to pay attention to this. Because the previous historian made such a big fuss because he got some records from historical materials.
That is the city chief who went to the city of Boogaro City!
And now, there is another former historian in Juyuguan.
