Chapter 342: Eight Formations and Eight Doors Lock Tiger Chen
In the next three days, the gate of Xingyang City was closed, and no matter how Li Jing sent people to scold the war, Zhang Xutuo would never send troops.
After Li Jing heard the report, he knew that Zhang Xutuo must be reinvigorating the low morale in the city. The other party is a contemporary famous general, and before the time comes, he will never be angry because of a few scolding words, and he will no longer send people to provoke.
For a time, there was nothing going on inside and outside the city, and an extremely strange tranquility was maintained.
After ten days in a row, a series of cannons suddenly sounded in Xingyang City, and then the city gate opened, and a team of men and horses roared out, lined up under the city, and saw that the flag in the army was Zhang Xutuo's handsome banner.
Dingshi Jun Tanma hurriedly reported to the camp, Li Jing applauded and smiled: "Take Xingyang will be in today!" Then the whole army was killed out of the camp gate and lined up in the territory.
In the Sui army's formation, Zhang Xutuo urged his horse to step forward and shouted: "Where is Li Jing? Please answer in front of the battle!"
Li Jing came to the front of the battle with Lingqi in his arms, and arched his hand: "This commander is here, what advice does Zhang Shuai have?"
Zhang Xutuo said: "A few days ago, the old man lost for a while, and today you are here to see the battle, and the old man wants to fight with you." Wait for the old man to lay out a formation, I don't know if Marshal Li will dare to lead his troops to break the formation?"
Li Jing smiled and said: "The guest is as he pleases, since Zhang Shuai has come up with a proposition, Ben Shuai naturally has to obey his fate." I have long heard that Zhang Shuai has trained into a strange formation called 'Eight Winds', and once broke Lu Mingyue's 100,000 army with 800 warriors. It just so happened that Ben Shuai had nothing to do recently, and he also practiced into a small formation. In the near future, we might as well meet in a formation and see a winner or loser!"
Although Zhang Xutuo was surprised that the other party agreed so happily, he was very confident in the "Eight Wind Array" that he had created based on the fragments of Wuhou's Eight Array Diagram and created it from the machine, so he turned his horse back to set up the formation.
The commanders on both sides waved the command flag at the same time, and the two armies used the drums on one side and the horns on the other. commanded the soldiers who had already practiced their respective formations skillfully in their respective positions, and laid down two large formations in an instant.
Zhang Xutuo looked at the opposite side from a distance in the array, and was stunned when he saw the large array under Li Jingbu. The 3,000 Dingshi troops over there were divided into eight color banners, and they were arranged according to the positions of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, and the eight trigrams, and they secretly combined the changes of the eight potentials of heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes, and they were five or six points similar to their own "Eight Wind Arrays."
"Could it be that Li Jing also got the legacy of Wuhou. Know the secret of the evolution of the Eight Array Diagrams?" Zhang Xutuo was suspicious in his heart, but then he thought that the other party understood the mysteries of the Eight Array Diagrams, but he was by no means inferior to himself who had been immersed in the battle array for many years in commanding the changes in the formation, and the other party's soldiers were definitely inferior to the "Eight Winds Battalion" that he had trained single-handedly and was like an arm. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xutuo's confidence was full again, and with a wave of the commanding flag, a large array slowly pressed towards the enemy.
In the Dingshi Army Formation, Li Jing looked at Zhang Xutuo's Eight Wind Array and shook his head and smiled, and said in his heart: "In the last life, I combined what I learned from the two lives to create the Eight Formations for more than a thousand years. If my genuine formation is defeated by your copycat today, it will be a big joke in the world!"
He also raised the command flag in his hand and pointed forward, and the three thousand Dingshi troops who had already completed the formation also began to move forward.
The movements of the two armies were slow and urgent, and finally all the horses had begun to sprint with all their might, but their respective formations were not chaotic at all.
The two sides finally collided head-on at the midpoint between the two armies, and the two large arrays were like two hungry gluttonous beasts that were about to choose people to devour, opening their huge mouths to tear each other apart and devour each other.
The result of the two battles was greatly unexpected by Zhang Xutuo, and he saw that the formation of the Dingshi Army was clearly more agile than that of his own side. A team of men and horses crisscrossed left and right, like a sharp knife. Each time, a layer of flesh was cut from his own military formation. Although his generals tried their best to cope, they were always one step behind the opponent due to changes, and they were always in a situation of being passively beaten.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, Zhang Xutuo was anxious in his heart, and when he raised his eyes to look around, he saw Li Jing's handsome flag not far ahead. He gritted his teeth violently and said: "For today's plan, the only way is to capture the thief and capture the king, as long as Li Jing is captured and killed, the enemy army will collapse without a fight!"
Immediately handed over the Ling Qi to Pei Renji beside him and asked him to command the big array instead of him. He took Pei Yuanqing, Du Shang and a hundred personal guards, rushed through the chaotic army like a wave, and went straight to the location of Li Jingshuaiqi.
At this time, Li Jing only had more than a dozen personal soldiers around him, and when he saw that a group of enemy troops was rushing towards him murderously, all the relatives asked Li Jing to quickly avoid his edge.
"It's okay, it's them who Ben Shuai is waiting for!" Li Jing smiled slightly, shook his hand and threw out eight door flags, and set up eight directions to surround himself with more than ten people.
Zhang Xutuo and Pei Yuanqing came closer, and suddenly Li Jing disappeared, only eight door flags were erected on the ground, and there seemed to be people in the door flags, but they couldn't see it really.
Zhang Xutuo didn't know the truth and hesitated to restrain the war horse.
Pei Yuanqing asked, "Why did the marshal stop?"
Zhang Xutuo said: "The eight gate flags laid by Li Jing are probably a little strange, and I am afraid that I will only lose if I break in rashly." ”
Pei Yuanqing was fighting on the battlefield, but he didn't understand the methods of cultivators, and he was also a little worried when he heard this.
Du Shang on the side said: "Don't worry too much, what Li Jing has laid is just a trick like a flag escape, everyone just needs to beware of him plotting behind the door flag." ”
Zhang Xutuo frowned and said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is difficult to guard against secret calculations. ”
Du Shang said: "A certain magic method has its own. This time, Li Jing must reap the consequences!" After that, he took out a small flag from his bag and waved it into the air several times, and when he landed, a black cloud rose flatly, enveloping Zhang Xutuo's more than 100 people.
Zhang Xutuo and the others looked out in the black clouds, but they could see clearly, and their vision was not hindered at all.
Du Shang said a little proudly: "The black clouds turned by a certain dark cloud covering the moon can isolate the outside world's sight, and it will not be affected when you look out from the inside. ”
Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed, and immediately ordered a surprise attack, and broke in from a door flag first.
After the war horse passed under the banner of the gate, it suddenly opened up in front of him, and a clearing with a radius of a thousand steps appeared, while behind him was quiet, and the earth-shattering sounds of the battlefield were all gone. Zhang Xutuo was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that the door flag behind him had disappeared, and none of Pei Yuanqing, Du Shang and one hundred guards followed.
"Zhang Shuai doesn't have to look for it anymore, your subordinates have another place to go. Li Jing appeared out of thin air more than 100 steps in front of Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo was furious and urged the horse to rush towards Li Jing with a gun, but the strange thing was that no matter how much he urged the thousand-mile god horse under his crotch to gallop, he couldn't shorten the distance between the two by half a minute.
Li Jing watched Zhang Xutuo keep urging the horse, and secretly laughed in his heart, the formation he laid out was a simplified version of the "Eight Door Lock God Array", called the "Eight Gate Golden Lock Array". The formation is a space of its own, sometimes it seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is thousands of miles away. If he didn't want you to get close, Zhang Xutuo would run from day to night, and it would be impossible to get in front of him. (To be continued......)
