Chapter 58: The power of the eight formations

Views:

The lieutenant under Xing Daorongjing reminded that, in retrospect, the 20,000 army had been besieged by the Han army in the eight formations. However, the eight formations are unpredictable, and Xing Daorong can't figure out any clues at all, bumping into the wall everywhere, and his heart is extremely anxious.

The Eight Diagrams Array was created by Zhuge Liang based on the "Bagua Array" of the famous military strategist Sun Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. According to Dunjia, it is divided into eight doors: birth, injury, rest, death, scene, death, startle, and opening. There are many changes and can block hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.

From the root point of view, the eight-array map comes from the "Book of Changes". The essence of Zhouyi is to regard the sky, earth, and human as a whole, and to connect things of different qualities and different states together to explore the laws of its operation. Zhuge Liang himself admired Legalism and Huang Lao's doctrine, and was proficient in Yi-learning. Zhuge Liang paid great attention to the comprehensive investigation of heaven, earth, and man when he created the eight formation map. Therefore, he developed the Nengba Gua array into an eight array diagram, which shows his talent.

Zhuge Liang spent more than a month in Wuling, training the formations, so that the Han army initially learned the eight formations. Even a well-known counselor in the world may not be able to crack this formation, let alone a martial artist Xing Daorong, who dared to rush into the eight formation map with a mere 20,000 horses, this is overwhelming.

Xing Daorong went and killed, but he couldn't find a way out, but his soldiers died a lot. Zhang Fei disappeared as soon as he arrived. Xing Daorong was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he shouted, "Zhang Fei, you butcher from Zhuo County who kills pigs, you are a timid rat who can't beat your grandfather and me, so he hides. I won’t come out anymore. What a waste!"

Xing Daorong's voice was screaming dumb, but no one paid any attention. Seeing the white, red, yellow, and blue flags in the array were constantly moving and changing positions, Xing Daorong was dazzled, and he regretted not following Xing Yi's advice. I have to bring soldiers out of the city, this is a big deal. Originally thinking of being able to do meritorious service, he might not even be able to save his life. He hoped it was a nightmare and everything would be fine when he woke up.

But the Han army's shouting and killing were so real, which made him soberly aware that this was not a dream, but a solid danger. He didn't understand how Zhang Fei, who was defeated by his own opponent last time, became smart this time, and he could actually think of introducing himself into a trap. In fact, it is not how clever Zhang Fei is, but Xing Daorong is too stupid. The point is that he still doesn't know that he is stupid, his ambition is not small, and he is completely in danger.

At the time when Xing Daorong had no master, a cluster of red flags came out and the flag opened, and a four-wheeled vehicle was launched. There was a person sitting in the middle of the car. This person was wearing a turban on his head, wearing a crane cloak, and holding a feather fan. It feels like a fairy tale.

"You are a demon, you dare to besiege this general." Xing Daorong asked hurriedly, but with a big tone.

"I am Zhuge Liang of Longzhong. The prefect Jin Xuan of Wuling County embraced the 50,000 people, but I did a little trick, but I did not leave the armor. An unknown junior like you dare to face me!" Zhuge Liang uses a feather fan. Pointing to Xing Daorong and said, with a calm expression.

"Haha, Zhuge Liang, people say you are Mr. Wolong. I think you are a false name, and you don't blush when you say this! Jin Xuan just died in the hands of two unfaithful subordinates. Gong Zhi lived up to his trust and brought Hanshou The county surrendered to you, causing all the food and grass of Wuling County to fall into your hands. Jin Yi was rebellious and killed his father Jin Xuan and surrendered to you. That's why you were lucky enough to get Wuling County. Not only did you not think of repentance, but you dare to repent. If you commit me to Lingling County, how can I forgive you."

Xing Daorong became more and more vigorous as he spoke, and degraded Zhuge Liang as useless. Xing Daorong directed all his anger at Zhuge Liang at this time. He believed that it was Zhuge Liang who laid down this eight-array map to get himself into such a dangerous situation. He had the ability but couldn't show it.

"You can't break my eighth formation. Hurry up and surrender. I can consider sparing you. Otherwise, you will die without a place to bury you." Zhuge Liang no longer wants to talk to Xing Daorong. Xing Daorong's mouth can really speak. However, nothing is reliable.

"Zhuge Yaodao, withdraw your battle, we will do it with real swords and guns. I promise to kill you in a piece of armor without leaving it." Xing Daorong was really naive, he was just playing war.

Sun Wu, a well-known military strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period, once said, "The soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must be observed." This sentence shows that war is closely related to the destiny of the country and the life and death of the people. In an era of disputes between heroes, war not only played an important role in the affairs of princes, but the political purpose of war was also to ensure the survival and development of princes' power. Every war consumes a lot of food, grass and materials, which is not a trifle.

Xing Daorong's proposal to ask Zhuge Liang to withdraw from the battle really seemed naive, and he obviously regarded fighting as a trifling matter.

Seeing that Xing Daorong had no intention of surrendering, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and thousands of feather arrows came over the sky.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

"..."

As a feather arrow fell, Xing Daorong's soldiers fell to the ground.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers beside him, Xing Daorong became angry and raised his axe to slash at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang returned to the car and left, walked into the formation, and the formation door was closed again.

Xing Daorong urged the horse to rush over and saw from a distance there was a cluster of yellow flags in the center, and there was a general flag on which was written "Military General Zhuge Liang". Xing Daorong hurried over to the red flag.

Suddenly the center parted and the array door opened. Zhao Yun carried a gentian with a silver spear, killed him, and shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, do you recognize your grandfather and me?"

Xing Daorong was anxious and angry, not an opponent at all, and immediately ordered the soldiers beside him to resist.

Zhao Zilong led his army to rush and kill thousands of enemy troops. Xing Daorong knew he was lost and turned his head and fled.

"The thief will leave" Zhang Fei shouted and hurried over. The ambushes in the formation swarmed from both sides, shouting and killing.

Xing Daorong had no choice but to order the soldiers to rush up to resist. Hiding in the middle, he really became a tortoise.

Xing Daorong was originally very brave. But when he was stuck in the eight formations, he called every day to not respond and called the earth to be ineffective. There is no power to fight back, only the power to parry. Under the repeated blows of Zhao Yun and Liu Xun, most of Xing Daorong's 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, like a bird with a frightened bow, scattered everywhere.

Xing Daorong took the few thousand remaining soldiers and fled indiscriminately. However, no matter how you go, there is no way out. However, the Han army in the formation methodically intercepted and killed the enemy. The thousands of remnants became hundreds of remnants in a short time. The corpses in the formation piled up into a mountain.

"Grass bag, come here. Defeat me, I will let you go."

Following his reputation, Xing Daorong saw a young man riding a white horse shouting to himself, that this young man was Liu Xun. Xing Daorong thought, you still dare to challenge me? No matter how bad I am, Xing Daorong is more than enough to beat you. Thinking of this, Xing Daorong was full of energy, and he rode a horse to kill Liu Xun.

Hearing a scream, Xing Daorong held a big axe and slashed towards Liu Xun's door. This axe was very fierce, as if it was about to split Liu Xun in half.

Zhao Yun, who was next to him, saw it in his eyes, and started to sweat. I wanted to come up to help, but Liu Xun's eyes were clearly saying that he wanted to defeat Xing Daorong alone and didn't want others to disturb him, so Zhao Yun didn't come forward. Zhao Yun also knew that Xing Daorong's axe seemed fierce, but Liu Xun was not a vegetarian, and it would definitely be able to resolve it.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun expected. Liu Xun did not panic, nor did he dodge. Others haven't seen what's going on yet, Liu Xun's Beidou spear has already caught the big axe.

Zhao Yun's hanging heart returned to its original position.

Xing Daorong did not expect Liu Xun to shoot the gun so fast, and his arm was numb. Xing Daorong was eager to defeat Liu Xun, and swung a big axe to storm over, full of energy. After all, Xing Daorong is known as the'first fierce general in the four counties of Jingnan'. Although there is a bit of bragging in it, it is enough to show that he still has a certain strength.

Xing Daorong has been playing a big axe for more than ten years, and the big axe in his hand is handy. Xing Daorong's offensive was fierce, one move was made, and the second move came again. There is no room for delay.

Liu Xun was calm and relaxed, and saw tricks. It seems leisurely, but in fact the speed of shooting is extremely fast.

Xing Daorong thought that he had resorted to a trick, and Liu Xun would be overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, they were resolved one by one.

Liu Xun shouted and pierced Xing Daorong's heart.

Xing Daorong relied on his strength and was not afraid to fight Liu Xun recklessly. He hurriedly caught it with a big axe, but failed to take advantage of it. In a hurry, he used all his strength to chop off at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun flashed lightly, without even touching his clothes.

Xing Daorong became more and more impatient, speeding up his axe, messing up his position.

Liu Xun looked at the opportunity and stabbed Xing Daorong's mount to the ground with a single shot.

Xing Daorong did not expect Liu Xun to come to this trick, yelled, slid off the horse and fell to the ground.

Xing Daorong knew that a catastrophe was imminent, and was very panicked, ignoring the pain, so he knelt down and begged for mercy. Liu Xun was expressionless and asked his soldiers to tie up Xing Daorong.

Twenty thousand enemy troops were killed and wounded. The remaining hundreds of remnants were all captured by the Han army.

Since then, all the defenders of Qiyang City were wiped out, and Liu Xun led the Han army into Qiyang City. Qi Yang won, and everyone was very happy. Especially Zhang Fei, a rock in his heart fell to the ground. The people of Qiyang have long heard of Liu Xun's benevolence and righteousness, and the Han army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Many people greeted the Han army with food on the street, and the scene was very lively.

"Bring Xing Daorong up."

Several soldiers escorted Xing Daorong to the lobby. This lobby is Qiyang's county government lobby. Xing Daorong was originally sitting on the upper seat, but now he is kneeling down, which is really good fortune.

"Xing Daorong did a lot of evil, dragged it out and cut it." Liu Xun said sharply.

Xing Daorong was trembling with fright, completely devoid of arrogance, and kept begging for mercy.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped Liu Xun, and asked Xing Daorong loudly: "Xing Daorong, do you want to survive?"

"Thinking. As long as you give me a way to survive, I am willing to do anything." Xing Daorong now has no shame at all and just wants to survive.

"If you want to survive, you must help me capture Lingling City." Zhuge Liang said from the side, with a stern tone and no room for negotiation.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's request, Xing Daorong was overjoyed and said quickly: "I have a plan to help the young master and the military division win Lingling..."
