Chapter 875: Xue Rengui's Dragon Gate Formation
Chapter 875: Xue Rengui sets up the dragon gate formation
Xue Rengui stood in the center of the stone-treating convoy and looked at Li Shimin coldly on the opposite side. He thought Li Shimin would take advantage of the retreat to intercept him, but he did not expect that he still did not take action.
"Li Shimin is so cautious this time. It seems that after suffering the last loss, Li Shimin has already gained a complete memory. Now the general strategy of seducing enemies is not effective for him."
Xue Rengui thought to himself that he actually wanted the Liang army to rush directly, because the scattered formation of the Western Liang cavalry was better to deal with, but Li Shimin didn't know whether he saw through his thoughts or to seek peace of mind, he actually watched the coalition withdraw.
"It seems that this battle is not easy to fight, so I can only fight head-on."
Xue Rengui estimated in his mind that the total number of cavalrymen leaving Guanliang Army was about 10,000, and among the 10,000 troops in his hands, there were still three thousand camps in his formation, and the formation defense would be able to persist until reinforcements arrived.
Gao Shun was seriously injured in the previous battle of Jingbei and is still recuperating in Nanyang. However, Qin Haofei was taken out of the camp, and this time he handed him over to Xue Rengui for command.
"Li Shimin brought out all the cavalry in Hulao Pass this time. It seems that he was determined to destroy our army's catapult cart. Unfortunately, his lord had expected this long ago. Li Shimin was destined to be defeated this time."
The camp has never lost a battle. Now this ace force is in his own hands, so Xue Rengui is naturally full of confidence in this.
Xue Rengui looked coldly at the Liang army cavalry opposite, slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, shouted: "Go forward to the camp, set up the group of wolf-connected shield formation."
Xue Rengui and Gao Shun have a good relationship. They often discuss their experience in battle together, so he may not be as good as Gao Shun when he commands the trapped camp, but it is indeed one of the most skilled people in the Qin army at present.
"The ambition to fall into battle is to die but not live..."
The soldiers of the Sanqianqian camp shouted and quickly stepped forward. A large group of people formed every two hundred people, and then activated the small mechanism on the shield.
The soldiers connected the shields one left and one right to form a giant shield. Soon, fifteen huge shields were assembled on the battlefield, completely separating the coalition and the Liang army.
After seeing this scene, not only the Liang army in front but also the coalition forces in the rear were shocked.
This is too high-tech, right? We have never seen any old hats in the countryside!
Li Shimin frowned. He had never seen such an advanced shield formation. Fortunately, he had also collected information from the camp in advance and knew that Liu Xiu was defeated by this formation during the Battle of Jingbei, so he did not try it randomly without knowing the depth.
"Xue Rengui, my goal is to destroy the catapult cart. You blocked me with such a turtle-speed shield array, but you made the wrong idea."
Li Shimin sneered and shouted loudly, then led the cavalry forward, but still did not launch an attack. A large number of Liang army infantry still poured out from the city gate behind.
"not good."
Xue Rengui immediately exclaimed. Li Shimin had already noticed the weakness of the slow speed of the shield formation. If he was using the half-moon formation to defend, Li Shimin would use his speed advantage to avoid the edge and then directly attack the weak rear, so Xue Rengui had to change the formation.
Xue Rengui quickly shook the order flag and shouted: "Change the formation, set up the dragon gate formation."
The Dragon Gate Formation is a large formation, which requires at least 70,000 people to be deployed. At this time, Xue Rengui had only 10,000 people in his hands, so he naturally could not make a complete version of the ever-great formation. He could only make do with a castrated version of the all-round defense.
As soon as Xue Rengui finished speaking, the 10,000 Kanto coalition forces immediately divided into ten, and quickly formed a strange round, ten-angle diamond-shaped formation with the catapult convoy as the center.
As the trap camp of the sword and shield hands, at the outermost periphery of the formation, the spearmen are in the center, the archers are in the back, and the center is the catapult convoy.
Among the ten gates belonging to the Dragon Gate Formation, there are five real gates, and there are also five virtual gates, which combine virtual and real, and are specifically used to confuse and trap enemies.
Now these ten sects are guarded by ten generals Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Yin Zhou, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Ran Min, and Jiang Song, while Xue Rengui is in the middle to suppress the formation.
The small 10,000-person dragon gate formation gathered eleven powerful generals of the coalition forces, and such a lineup was so luxurious that it was luxurious.
When Li Shimin saw Xue Rengui changing his formation, he immediately led his infantry to restrain him in the front and personally led the cavalry to detour the rear of the coalition forces. However, when his coalition forces detoured the rear of the coalition forces, Xue Rengui's small dragon gate formation had been laid.
Xue Rengui at the center of the formation secretly wiped his forehead and said to himself: It's so dangerous, fortunately I caught up!
Seeing that this formation was full of murderous intent and had no flaws in its defense arrangement, Li Shimin immediately frowned and asked to his left and right: "What kind of formation is this?"
"I have been in the military service for half my life, but I have never seen this formation before. There is no strategy in the war strategy and the military books are not like the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation." Yin Kaishan said with a wry smile.
At this moment, the main gate of the eight gates of Longmen opened wide, and Xue Rengui showed his body and shouted: "Li Shimin, do you know what formation this is?"
"Please ask General Xue to answer the questions." Li Shimin asked indifferently.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui frowned slightly, but smiled faintly and said, "This is the Dragon Gate Formation. If you don't break this formation, don't you want to destroy the stone-catted convoy."
Li Shimin smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically: "General Xue, if you change the Bagua Formation, you call it the Dragon Gate Formation? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. If you want to see my ability to break the formation, set up another array, which will be able to break easily."
Of course, Xue Rengui couldn't really believe it. The Dragon Gate Formation is the strongest formation he has mastered. If he didn't even know Li Shimin's name, then he would really have no choice.
"Li Shimin, you are a frog in the well with shallow knowledge, but you don't know the Dragon Gate Formation, but it doesn't mean you don't have it. I want to see how you break this formation."
Li Shimin frowned immediately when he heard this, and Lu Bu beside him asked, "General Shimin, our time is limited, so we can't delay too much."
"Yes, if you delay any further, the reinforcements of the coalition forces will arrive. It will not be so easy to destroy the coalition forces' catapult carts." Wu Yunzhao said anxiously.
"General, please tell me, where did you enter and where did you go? Should you kill him when you encounter a red flag, or flee when you encounter a white flag?" Houyi said lightly.
Li Shimin stared at the formation in front of him coldly and said in a deep voice: "This formation opens ten gates, and there are ten gates to enter, but there are real and virtual. Entering real is blocked and entering virtual is trapped. If you keep fighting to the end, it will naturally be fine. But if there is a change in the middle and becomes a lost path, it will either be captured alive or turned into meat paste..."
As soon as Li Shimin said this, the generals of the Liang army realized the danger of this formation and couldn't help but take a breath.
"hiss……"
