Chapter 816 Are you telling me about the gossip array?
Chapter 816 Are you telling me about the Bagua Formation?
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Liang coughed violently, but without delay, he quickly stood up and looked up into the distance.
The result is really different.
Cao's army's battle formation is still extremely square. There is clearly a large group of powerful cavalry, but the opponent insists on using a square. This kind of command, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, is like reading stupidly.
On paper, I only know how to fight with restraint, but I don't know how to adapt to changes.
Zhao Kuo's talk is still yesterday.
But now, it is our own side that is at a disadvantage.
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were so quickly slowed down that Huo Jun and Chen Dao behind them could not easily step forward to share the pressure.
The huge square-shaped thing was like a wheel, crushing everything in front of it.
Both cavalry and infantry were mixed in at the moment.
At a glance, he saw an extremely chaotic formation...but this shocked Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Ming! What should we do? If this continues-"
"That's it! That's it! I'm just saying... Hahaha... Hahaha... This is the fun, Jiang Wan, Jiang Gongyan! This is the fun!!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed, and the feather fan in his hand was swung by him, and it flew away with the wind.
Liu Bei hurriedly chased him, but Zhuge Liang didn't seem to care.
The surprise in his eyes slowly turned to excitement, and the murmurs in his mouth became louder and louder.
Liu Bei, who finally recovered the feather fan, could only look at Zhuge Liang strangely:
"Kong Ming?"
"Hahaha! Lord! I saw it wrong, no...it's not that I saw it wrong, it's because the other party knew that I had set a trap, so he did the opposite and set a trap for me!"
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good! Jiang Wan, I'm a little excited!"
Zhuge Liang looked like he was crazy as he kept chanting Jiang Wan's voice, but Liu Bei still felt that Zhuge Liang was not panicking now.
"You mean, that's not a square array?"
Liu Bei suddenly asked, Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, taking the feather fan from Liu Bei's hand.
"Yes... it's not the square formation. The square formation is just a deception. The other party is provoking me, my lord -"
"Bagua array..."
"Hahaha...it turned out to be the Bagua array. It seems that the other party knew that I was here and set up the Bagua array just to provoke me!"
"Very good...I accepted this challenge! But, Jiang Gongyan, it's a pity...you should never have...shouldn't use the Bagua array to deal with me! This...this will be your biggest mistake!"
Zhuge Liang's laughter was still there, but he was not really idle. Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly became serious and he quickly said something to the messenger next to him.
——
In the distance, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, who were struggling like they were stuck in a quagmire, had not yet figured out the situation.
Why did the opponent's formation change in the blink of an eye?
Obviously there are shield soldiers in front of them. As cavalry, they want to rely on the advantages of speed and distance to easily defeat the opponent - just like Zhuge Liang said, slant attack is an ancient method, but there are differences in local strength.
The most feasible strategy under the circumstances.
But...but just for a moment, just when Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were planning to rely on their speed advantage to guerrilla the other side, the other side changed their formation.
The sudden change of formation made the parts that were supposed to be loopholes and flaws impregnable, and the parts that were supposed to be useless for defense suddenly revealed sharp fangs.
The fangs came out straight out and easily tore off large chunks of flesh from the hunter's leg.
For a time, the cavalry led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun suffered numerous casualties.
Both of them were in a panic, thinking about how to break the deadlock, but the people who came to support them from behind were at a loss because of the narrow path of the valley and the sudden spread of the battlefield.
At this moment, someone finally shouted, and the noisy voice made Liu Bei's generals look at the general platform and where Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were -
——
"Haha, the opponent was indeed deceived by Gongyan's formation, and he just went all out like this!"
"Roar!"
The generals of Cao's army became more and more courageous as they fought, and the improvement in morale brought about by their whole-hearted belief in their coach was absolutely commendable.
But at this time, Xiahou Dun and others seemed to have forgotten Jiang Wan's reminder:
"Changing formations can only be used when the enemy is at its deepest and most underestimating the enemy. Otherwise, if it is done in one blow, there will be no chance to cause damage to the opponent later."
This sentence was said by Jiang Wan himself because he knew Zhuge Liang very well.
He didn't intend for everyone to achieve such outstanding results today, but the battlefield was like this. Not only was the battle situation unpredictable, but so was the people's hearts.
For a moment, they forgot what Jiang Wan had reminded them, and in a flash of enthusiasm, they wanted to chase Liu Bei's army's remaining defeated generals and rush towards them.
However, this gives the opponent an excellent opportunity to counterattack.
The Bagua array is very similar to the Square array, but its internal structure is completely different.
It can be said that as a passive defense formation, the Bagua Formation is definitely the most flexible and versatile.
The only problem is moving -
To be precise, the Bagua array is more like a trap. It is not advisable to invite you into the trap. As long as the other party is not completely cornered and wants to escape, it will be easy.
so…
Something is terribly wrong.
When Xiahou Dun began to encounter resistance and was entangled by Zhao Yun, he knew that he had done something wrong.
It can only be said that this is understandable. After all, if Jiang Wan could stand on the front line and command like Zhuge Liang, many difficulties would be easily solved.
But there is no if.
Zhao Yun turned around and fired a shot, directly fighting with Xiahou Dun. Zhang He and others realized that something was wrong and were planning to retreat, hoping to maintain their formation and continue the stalemate with Liu Bei's army.
At this time, Huang Zhong and Huo Jun, who had received the order, had already surrounded them from behind.
Yes, when the Bagua Formation becomes loose for a moment, when the army's retreat is blocked, and there is no good countermeasure, in the final analysis, Xiahou Dun and others are just stragglers - stragglers with a little bit of force.
"Huh... Bagua array, it is a wrong decision to set up the Bagua array in front of me. Jiang Gongyan, you underestimate me too much."
Zhuge Liang gently clenched his right hand, as if he was holding Cao Jun in the air.
In fact, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Zhang He and others were indeed completely surrounded.
If this continues...defeat, or a disastrous defeat, is inevitable.
If Liu Bei's army really killed them all, all the plans Jiang Wan had made at Yangping Pass and near Hanzhong would come to naught in an instant.
"Damn it! We must break out of the encirclement as soon as possible! Xu Chu! Come with me and fight up the mountain. With that old man Huang Zhong here, our army will not be able to break out!"
"no problem!"
Xu Chu was very energetic. Xiahou Dun roared and chopped down the men and horses in front of him with his sword. He used his long sword to force Zhao Yun back, turned the horses' heads, and led his troops directly to the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong was already prepared, bent his bow and arrows, and prepared to fight back.
Right in front of Xiahou Dun's eyes, Xiahou Dun was ready to take Huang Zhong's arrow and pull him off his horse. However, at this moment, he saw Huang Zhong suddenly turn his long bow around.
