On the city wall, Niu Wenzhong saw the movement of soldiers and horses in the distance, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Ah, the Song army is so shameless, are they relying on more to win! Duan Shuai, let's hurry up and send troops out of the city to help." indivual."
Duan Wu panicked, forgetting that he was not talking to Niu Wenzhong, and said in panic: "Panic, what are you panicking about? Xi Sheng told me that there is something hidden in his formation... The changes in the trapped Peng formation are not small. But even if he comes with a hundred thousand soldiers, he only needs to enter the formation and he will be able to swallow them with one shot."
Niu Wenzhong frowned after hearing this and said: "How can it be so magical? These four or five thousand people are heavenly soldiers and generals, and they cannot contain an army of one hundred thousand."
Duan Wu said angrily: "Look, he just refuses to understand what I say."
The deputy general next to him whispered: "Commander, I'm not trapping the Peng Formation, I'm asking a Kun to transform into a Peng Formation."
Duan Wu said angrily: "What's the name? What's the point of killing a bird? I like to call it the Sleeping Peng Formation. What do you think? Xi Sheng said personally that this formation can be as big as a small one. Think about how big the Dapeng bird is. Even a person can't finish it. If it can trap something so large, isn't it a trapped roc array?"
There was a quarrel in the city, but something happened below the city. However, Lu Junyi led 5,000 people and fought straight to the outside of the Liuhua Formation, but did not enter the formation. They all let go of their throats and shouted: "Kill here, kill here, the brothers of the Song Army are facing each other." Kill here!"
Sun An, the Teng brothers, and Geng Gong were fighting in the formation. The large and small formations around them were turning left and right, and they could all be distinguished from the southeast to the northwest. They were panicking when they heard loud shouts from outside the formation. They suddenly became energetic and led their troops to shout. Kill everywhere.
Xi Sheng saw them in the command car and laughed: "The enemy general is quite quick to come up with such a crooked move, but how can I be so simple these days?"
As soon as the flag was waved, the formation was filled with thieves, all of them shouted in unison and banged their swords, which immediately covered up all the sounds outside the formation.
Lu Jun frowned, thinking that his brother was not prepared, and shouted: "Li Dunzi, it's up to you!"
This Li Dunzi was originally a captain in the Chenzhou Army. Because of his bravery in battle, he killed two generals, Ji Sansi and Liu Yijing, during the campaign against Wang Qing. He was promoted to deputy general by Cao Cao, commanding a battalion of 500 infantrymen.
Li Dunzi smiled naively, waved his hand, and sixteen strong soldiers jumped out and faced each other with their arms. Then eight soldiers climbed on top of them, stepped on their shoulders, and put their arms on each other. These were two soldiers. There are four people on the third level, and two people on the fourth level. They usually step on the shoulders of the gown and hold their arms opposite each other.
Finally, Li Dunzi whizzed a few times, climbed to the top himself, and rushed to the fifth floor, holding a Song Army flag and shaking it frequently.
This human ladder with the flagpole from bottom to top is more than four feet high. The Song troops in the formation immediately saw it clearly, cheered in unison, and killed the generals.
Xi Sheng laughed and said: "You are a small skill, but you dare to do the same thing!" But when he saw the flag waving, one of every three bandit soldiers in the six formations took out the formation flag from his arms, tied it to the long soldier and just waved it. Red, white, blue, yellow and black, countless six-color flags flew fiercely, immediately blocking the view within the formation.
Xi Sheng was extremely proud and said to himself: "Don't let him play tricks and give him a hard time!"
The flag in his hand waved again, and the formation suddenly sped up and suddenly surged outwards, straight into Lu Junyi's formation. Before the Song Army could react, it suddenly shrank, and Lu Junyi's entire square formation seemed to have been chewed by a dog. In an instant, nearly half of the troops were involved in the formation.
Lu Junyi was also involved in the situation, and he shouted: "Everyone has stood still, blocking his formation." He thought to himself, I am just spinning in circles, and I am stuck like a stone. Isn't it self-defeating?
However, although the idea was good, the soldiers were still flesh and blood. Facing the opponent's rolling formations, large and small, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds coming like wheels, the Song Army tried its best to support for a moment, then completely drifted with the tide and started to rotate with the formation.
The human ladder of Li Dunzi and others also collapsed naturally. Fortunately, Dunzi was very agile and climbed up with a few wheels, took out the knife and killed.
Seeing the changes in his formation, Cao Cao was secretly frightened as he saw the changes in his formation, and he couldn't help but sigh: "That's it, it's really amazing! Now that my eyesight is not enough, I can only come up with this desperate plan! Guan Zhong!"
With a loud shout, he led more than ten thousand people and ran past the formation, blocking his way back to the city.
Duan Wu from the city fell down laughing, patting the city bricks and shouting: "What are these guys going to do? Are you afraid that I will be too strong and won't let them go back to the city? Hahahahaha."
Xi Sheng also laughed to himself when he saw this: "You're trying to trick me into not being able to move? Let's kill all the people in the formation first, and then the formation will turn around and crush you into dregs."
Before the laughter subsided, I saw Xu Guanzhong leading 5,000 people to the side of the formation. The two sides dispersed, revealing more than a thousand war horses inside, all with their eyes covered with cloth. The soldiers on both sides took out torches and lit them with their tails.
The tails of those war horses had been poured with oil in advance, and they ignited when they were touched by fire. The horses neighed in pain, and ran away with their long legs. There was black smoke and fire behind their tails, and they crashed into the Liuhua Array.
In the command car, Xi Sheng's expression changed drastically.
He had no idea that someone would come up with such a method to break the formation.
Those horses' eyes were covered, their tails were burned, and they were in pain and frightened. They were not afraid of swords, guns, and halberds, regardless of whether they were in front, back, left, or right. They just ran forward, not to mention for a while. Even if they were blocked by mountains, they would run into them with all their strength.
Xu Guanzhong shouted and led five thousand people to follow these fire-horse killing generals.
Although the bandit soldiers in the formation are all carefully trained, they are still the fleshly bodies of father and mother. Seeing the horses rushing towards them desperately, how dare they act like them? Now everyone wants to get out of the way, but the horses are coming quickly and quickly, and there are people in front, back, left and right, how can they easily avoid it? Therefore, wherever the horses passed by, people were turned upside down. Those who were lucky enough to survive were killed immediately when Xu Guanzhong led his troops to charge.
In just a few breaths, the six-flower array that seemed invincible just now suddenly turned into a dream of falling flowers and flowing water.
Some people can't help but ask, since there is such a good plan, why not use it earlier?
This tactic is just like Tian Dan's Fire Ox Formation back then. It is a desperate tactic. Once it is used, it can no longer be controlled. For example, those horses can only be allowed to be hit or burned to death. Another example is the formation. There are many Song soldiers, can the horses recognize him and not hit him?
Therefore, this strategy really hurts both sides, and it was only used when it was really helpless.
Niu Wenzhong and Duan Wu on the city were both stunned. Niu Wenzhong was shocked and said: "This Song general is so ruthless. His own robe Zexu is also in the formation."
Duan Wu stumbled and shouted: "How can those soldiers and horses of his compare with a soldier like mine that has been tempered for thousands of years? That's all, that's all, ah, Lao Xi..."
But he watched helplessly as a group of horses knocked over the command vehicle. Xi Sheng fell down. Just as he was about to get up, he was hit by a horse hoof on his back. Before he could struggle, more horse hoofs rushed to step on him. It was pitiful for all the formation masters. Just make a ball of meat.
As soon as the command car overturned, the rebel soldiers became more and more confused. Some stood stupidly on the spot and looked around at a loss. Xu Guanzhong and others followed up and killed them. The smart ones turned around and ran to the city. Cao Cao led his troops to stop them. After a killing spree, Huaixi Among the 4,500 elite soldiers, not one of them escaped.
Cao Cao and others quickly looked at their own casualties. Nearly six thousand Song soldiers were involved in the formation, half of them were killed by the formation, and more than a thousand were killed by the fire horse formation. Only less than two thousand survived, especially the ones that made everyone sad. , but the hero Geng Gong, the "Soul-Dancing Spear", was also included in the formation.
When he asked about the remnant army, he was killed by the thief general Xie Ning. While Xie Ning was hiding from the galloping horse, he bumped into Lu Junyi and was killed by Lu Junyi's shot.
After everyone sighed, they packed up the corpses, went back and set up camp, waiting for the arrival of the army.
Although Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the Xijing bandits suffered even greater losses. Not only did they lose several generals and soldiers from the Jin bandits, they also lost two Huaixi bandits, Xi Sheng, Xie Ning, and four others. Thousands and five hundred elites were able to bluff Duan Wu and Niu Wenzhong into fear.
Especially when Duan Wu, Xi and Xie, died, although he still had more than 20,000 troops and a number of lieutenants and generals, none of them could act alone. Therefore, he was frightened and could not help but move. He thought of abandoning the army and running away.
This is true: in the past, there were oxen of fire that destroyed the army, but now the horses of fire split the enemy group. The soul-driving spear was broken in front of the formation, and the clouds and geese separated in the middle.
It took me more than five hours to write this chapter... I turned it into a formation diagram on paper. I attacked and defended by myself. I struggled with myself for a long time, and finally came up with a strategy to break the formation.
