Chapter 299
Lao Cao’s poisonous plan defeats Liuhua
On the city wall, Niu Wenzhong saw a large 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 in his heart, forgetting that he was not talking to Niu Wenzhong, and said in panic: "Panic, why are you panicking! 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 can be swallowed up with one shot as long as he enters the formation."
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, it's not about trapping the Peng Formation, it's about 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 single 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 said with a smile: "The enemy general is very smart 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, who immediately 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 Ji Sansi and Liu Yijing during the conquest of Wang Qing. He was promoted by Cao Cao to deputy general and commanded 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 them, stepped on their shoulders, and put their arms around each other. These were two soldiers. The third floor is built by four people, and the fourth floor is built by two people. 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 up to the fifth floor, holding a Song army flag and shaking it frequently.
This human ladder with the flagpole from bottom to top was more than four feet high. The Song troops in the formation immediately saw it clearly and cheered in unison, risking their lives to kill 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, but he saw 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 Song Jun could react, he suddenly shrank, and Lu Junyi was flat in the square formation, but it seemed as if he had been bitten 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 shouted: "Everyone has stopped, blocking his formation." He thought to himself, I am just spinning around very well, and I am stuck like a stone. Isn't it self-defeating?
However, although the idea was good, the soldiers were still made of flesh and blood. Facing the rolling formations of the opponent, large and small, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds coming at them like wheels, the Song Army tried their 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 naturally collapsed. 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 10,000 people and ran past the formation, blocking his way back to the city.
Duan Wu from the top of the city fell down with laughter, patted the city bricks and shouted, "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 are 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, Xu Guanzhong led 5,000 men 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, so that they would burst into flames when exposed to fire. The horses neighed in pain and ran away, with black smoke and fire behind their tails, and they crashed into the Six Flowers 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 front, rear, left, or right. They just ran forward, not to mention for a while, even if they were blocked by mountains, they tried their best to hit them.
Xu Guanzhong shouted, leading five thousand men and following these fire-horse killing generals in.
Although the bandit soldiers in the formation were carefully trained, they were still the sons of father and mother. When they saw the horses rushing towards them desperately, how could they dare to act like them? Everyone wanted to get out of the way at the moment, but the horses came in a hurry.
It was so fast, and there were people in front, behind, and left, how could it be easily avoided? Therefore, wherever the horses passed by, people were turning on their backs. Those who were lucky enough to survive, Xu Guanzhong led the charge and were immediately killed.
In just a few breaths, the array of six flowers that seemed invincible just now suddenly turned into a spring 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 were all stunned in the city. 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 to a soldier like mine that has been tempered for thousands of times? 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 of them stood there stupidly and looked around at a loss. Xu Guanzhong and others followed up and killed them. The smart ones turned around and ran towards 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 trapped 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 the Huaixi bandits Xi Sheng, Xie Ning, and four others.
Thousands and five hundred elite men were able to bluff Duan Wu, and Niu Wenzhong was both frightened.
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 couldn't help but move.
He thought of abandoning the army and running away.
This is true: in the past, the flaming oxen destroyed the army, but now the flaming horses split the enemy group. The soul-driving spear was broken in front of the formation, and the geese in the clouds separated in the middle.
It took me more than five hours to write this chapter... I turned it into a formation diagram on paper, attacked and defended by myself, and struggled with myself for a long time, and finally came up with a strategy to break the formation.
Chapter completed!
