"The Long Snake Formation is famous for its maneuverability. Therefore, Shen Tu Guan can swagger around our Shu Formation in the shortest time." Dongfang Jing murmured.
"Little strategist, what is the weakness of the Long Snake Formation?"
"The defense is a bit weak. If the enemy cannot be connected from end to end, it will be a catastrophe. If I am not mistaken, the offensive momentum has been broken, and Shen Tuguan will be connected end to end."
Dongfang Jing raised his head, with worry hidden in his brows. He knew that Shen Tu Guan was not a simple person, but a master of ancient formations.
But again, if you want to reach the front line, Shen Tu Guan in front of you is the last move to win.
"Commander Chao Yi asked if he could send out troops?"
"No. The enemy cavalry hasn't moved, and he won't move either. Don't talk about taking the initiative. I'm afraid I won't be as good as Shentu Guan in breaking the formation, so I need to act as a backup."
After saying that, Dongfang Jing raised his head again.
The difference in military strength is not too big, but the biggest advantage is the morale of the Shu soldiers. After all, most of the troops on Shentu Guan's side were those who had lost several battles in a row. It's a very simple truth. As long as the formation is broken, it won't take long before the army is defeated and it is very likely to become a defeated army.
Looking from the distance from the built tower, in front, the Shu army's eight-door lock formation returned to its position after a wave of assaults.
On the contrary, the Beiyu people, under the command of Shen Tuguan, retreated further and began to bite head to tail to protect the formation. Just like two huge coiled snakes, one up and one down, constantly spitting out messages.
Dongfang Jing understood that soon, Shentu Guan would most likely rely on the ancient formation to launch a new round of attack.
…
"Dongfang Military Advisor has already fought with Shen Tu Guan's ancient formation in order to rush for reinforcements." Zhao Dong, wearing a battle armor, came to deliver the message in person.
Listening, Xu Mu, as the coach, frowned. If nothing else, he knew that Shen Tu Guan was a master of ancient formations as early as when he joined forces with Old King Yuan. Previously, they had used a strange formation to block Ling Su's flanking attack.
It was obvious that Chang Sheng's move was to hold Dongfang Jing back and try his best to keep his Xishu formation here temporarily.
Raising his head, Xu Mu looked around. By this time, the fighting war was far from over. Beiyu's offensive is still in full swing.
Deep in his heart, a plan that had been brewing for a long time slowly matured.
"Han Xing, can I, Xishu, raid Beiyu's main formation now?"
The puppy Fu who was nearby was obviously startled after hearing Xu Mu's words. But soon, he became calm again.
"My lord, do you want to send out a strange army?"
"Exactly."
Little Dog Fu thought for a while, "Now the heavy army from Beiyu has indeed surrounded and attacked our Xishu Formation. Logically speaking, I also think it is a good opportunity. But my lord, please don't forget to surround us layer by layer. Now, it will not be easy for us to launch a surprise attack. As for my suggestion, there is only one way for the lord to take advantage of this opportunity."
"any solution."
"Just like when Shen Tuguan was in Donglai, the large formation turned into a glutton, luring the enemy in, and then closed the formation to kill. When the teacher was still here, he once analyzed this formation with me, and it was considered extremely sophisticated. If we can successfully encircle and close the formation, then I will have a way to help the lord attack Beiyu's main formation."
Xu Mu thought deeply, considering what Little Dog Fu said. I have to say that under the current circumstances, this is already the best way.
Of course, there will definitely be dangers. But that's how it is in war. It's neither dangerous nor dangerous, so why is there such a thing as a corpse wrapped in horse leather?
Taking out a pen and paper, Xu Mu looked solemnly and began to draw a flexible formation. It is not necessarily easy to kill an enemy army during a siege.
"Lord, we can start in the west. After all, Shentu Guan's side has just left with his troops, and now in the west of our Xishu formation, the person leading the siege is a new general. If I say, this The new general must be eager to make great achievements."
"who?"
"A veteran from a well-known family, Jin Zhuo." Little Dog Fu lowered his voice, "Although it is not a critical assignment, but in any case, he has just taken over Shen Tu Guan's position. All in all, he is still a little unfamiliar."
Xu Mu nodded, "If that's the case, I plan to sell a flaw. Let this Jin Zhuo just think it is a great achievement and lead people into the formation."
"My lord, be careful. There are endless enemy forces around our Xishu formation. We must be fast. Otherwise, if Jin Zhuo has a response, it will be all in vain."
Xu Mu looked back with a sneer on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm determined to take this Beiyu Jinzhuo."
…
To the west of the Xishu formation, at this time, a veteran general with white hair was leading nearly 15,000 men, cooperating with friendly forces from all directions, and continuously leading troops to attack.
"It's not like we're defending the city, we're just relying on a large defensive formation. Does Xu Buyi want to hold on until the end of time?"
The veteran's name is Jin Zhuo, an uncle from a middle-class family in the inner city. The King of Beiyu has great power in the world. Naturally, the Jin family, like many aristocratic families, gave the King of Beiyu the greatest support. Just like Jin Zhuo, during the Ji Dynasty, he was the commander of the royal forest of the Changyang Palace. He was known for his military skills and was one of the ten generals of the inner city family.
Taking over the position of famous general Shen Tuguan is almost a certainty for Jin Zhuo. Therefore, as Little Dog Fu said, Jin Zhuo is eager to make a contribution.
"Don't retreat, continue to attack the Shu people's main formation!" Jin Zhuo opened his eyes and looked closely at the battle ahead.
It's a pity that after attacking for a long time, they failed to break the Shu people's formation.
In the Shu formation, there were not only shield battalions and continuous crossbows, but that damn Xu Buyi actually lined up a lot of baggage carriages, acting as a city wall to stop them.
"Throwing fire oil cans."
Countless fire oil cans were thrown forward. Of course, this method has been used countless times, but it has not had much effect.
Shu people are extremely smart. Whenever there is a little fire, it is immediately extinguished by the curtain.
But this time...it seems to be a little different.
When the fire arrows lit up the fire oil, it must have been that the man behind the curtain arrived too late. Not long after, there really was a fire, which was burning more and more fiercely.
Jin Zhuo looked ecstatic. He even saw that many of the Xishu shield battalions in formation became panicked.
"General Jin, the fire is burning...but how come it went so smoothly this time?"
"Of course it was my perseverance that lit the fire." In ecstasy, Jin Zhuo felt that everything in front of him seemed to be natural.
"Old general, the shield camp has retreated, and many of the carriages in formation have been burned..."
Jin Zhuo's face was excited. He knew very well what the formation in front of him would mean. If he was the first to break through the Xishu Formation, then it would be an unparalleled feat.
"Prepare, prepare quickly! We will attack the enemy's formation! We only need to break through one corner, and our colleagues from other directions will definitely follow suit!"
"I, Jin Zhuo, will take the lead in the charge!" Jin Zhuo raised his head and roared, holding the knife, no longer as steady as before. In his opinion, if he missed this great miracle, it would be the first regret in his life.
Under Jin Zhuo's order, more and more soldiers gathered on the west side of the Shu formation, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.
