The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 984
On the only way outside Yumen Pass leading to the Western Regions, the Tianmen Formation was full of killing sounds!
The eight cavalry, including Ling Tong and Ma Chao, who were divided in the Tianmen formation, broke through the encirclement eastward according to the Qinglong Banner in the Tianmen formation.

Outside the Tianmen formation, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ke, Zhao Yun, and Di Qing were also commanding troops to enter from the southwest, the north, and the east respectively.

Yan Rong was a little surprised when he heard the messenger report that there were a large number of troops entering the Zhengdong, Zhengbei and southwest!
"There are masters who are proficient in formations on the opposite side! The North is close to Xiumen, the southwest is close to Injury Gate, and the Zhengdong Death Gate has dispersed our troops in large numbers."

Explain why the troops are dispersed?

As mentioned earlier, apart from the magic spells, the most powerful form of formation is the continuous division of the enemy army, resulting in the effect of outnumbering the few.

From the door of life to the door of death, it is a ratio of military strength.

As the name suggests, the gate of death is the place with the most troops in the formation. In other words, it is the pocket formation for ambushes in the formation, so it has the effect of narrowly dying.

Also for the purpose of not breaking the formation easily, or attracting the enemy to the gate of death, all the gates of life in the formation are bait. It seems that the number of troops is very small, but in fact there are changes inside that instantly turn the gate of life into the gate of death!
Formation is also a skillful use of change, unless external supplements or scattered beans into soldiers, no matter how the change of troops is constant.

Changes also require a foundation before they can be changed. In other words, it is easier to do things with a large number than with a small number, but it is very difficult when the number is small.

The eye of the formation is the axis that supports changes, through which the strength of troops can be quickly changed.

Therefore, the formation-breaking eye is the key to breaking the formation. Once this is breached, the formation cannot be changed, and the soldiers will be at a loss and lose the effectiveness of the formation.

For example, in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the one-character long snake formation of Yang Lin, the backer king, is a bionic formation with no concept of doors, and the strength of the snake head, snake gall, and snake tail can change rapidly.

Attack is the impact of the snake's head and tail, and defense is to gather together, and the snake's head can become the snake's tail at any time.

As the formation eye is the joint that separates the snake's head, gallbladder, and tail, the key to breaking the formation is to grab its head, pinch its tail, and cut off its waist!
In fact, the purpose is to seize three formation eyes, so that they lose their changes and fight on their own.

However, the complexity of the Tianmen Formation lies not only in the outer eight gates, but also in the strength of the inner eight gates, eleven obsidian stars, 28 constellations, and 72 generals.

This is a combination of four formations, and they must be coordinated with each other to complement each other. Otherwise, it would be a fool's errand to compete with each other. The superposition of formations is actually no different from group dance. It requires mutual cooperation and positioning to achieve maximum effect. .

If you can't be compatible, you will hit yourself, not to mention the power addition formation itself will be paralyzed first.

Some people may wonder here, are the outer eight gates, inner eight gates, eleven obsidian stars, 28 constellations, and 72 generals platforms not five formations?Why is it said to be a combination of four formations?

General Platform 72 is the joint point of the adobe wall that Ling Tongyi saw when he first entered the formation. Just like Zhuge Liang's Jiugong Bagua Formation requires the help of terrain, a formation as complex as the Tianmen Formation actually also relies on the terrain.

But outside the Yumen Pass is the vast Gobi Desert, so what kind of terrain can be used?Therefore, the 72nd will act as a fixed artificially constructed terrain, and its purpose is to divide the enemy troops entering the battle and cause obstacles.

In other words, it is to use troops to simulate the terrain. The 72 general platform is not considered a formation, but a foundation. Zhuge Liang and others can clearly see it at a glance on the high platform.

Under the current situation, the 28 tentative troops of Ling Tong, Ma Chao, etc. have mobilized the troops of the Outer Eight Sects, the Inner Eight Sects, and the [-] Stars to form a change.

The outer eight gates became four, and the inner eight gates and twenty stars began to encircle and suppress Ling Tong, Ma Chao and others. The remaining eight stars of the 28 stars were stationed at the inner eight gates, and the eleven obsidian generals still did not act.

Based on this theory, Zhuge Liang asked Di Qing's army to attack the gate of death with heavy troops, in order to delay most of the current strength of the gate of death.

At the same time, let Zhao Yun's cavalry attack the door of Xiu. This door is the second weakest point after the door of life. However, with the concept that life is both death, the weaker the place is, the more it is a trap. At the same time, it corresponds to one of the eight inner doors, so Only then did Zhao Yun's cavalry charge.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Jie attacked from the wounded gate, which was the gate with the second most troops, but they were facing the heart gate of the inner eight gates.

The inner eight gates and the outer eight gates are one virtual and one real, one light and one dark, in fact, the inner eight gates are also the eight gates of armor, Zhuge Liang saw that the gate and the heart gate are actually the gate of life and the gate of death.

But the Eleven Obsidian has not yet been activated, and it is not known how it will change with the entire Tianmen Formation, so Zhao Yun needs to test it further.

The purpose is to bring out more changes in the Tianmen formation. Based on the current situation of the battle, Zhuge Liang can see that the inner eight gates must exist, but the eight star generals guarding the inner eight gates are the best evidence.

So after all the information was filtered out, the information in Yan Rong's mind was that the Death Gate, the largest force of the Tianmen Formation, was contained. The core Life Gate and Death Gate among the Inner Eight Gates were about to be attacked, but the Inner Eight Gates were the core of the Tianmen Formation and could not be tolerated. There is a loss.

Just as Zhuge Liang was worried, Tianmen formation is so complicated and it is not easy to break through it so easily, Yan Rong naturally has a way. Yan Rong waved the red flag again.

With the red flag waving, Kou Zhenyuan, Yelu Guobao, Xiao Haili, and Yelumo each took ten star generals to the north and southwest to support, while Wu Yanguang, Han Yanshou, Yelu Guozhen, and He Chongbao four People continued to encircle and suppress the eight thousand heavy cavalry of Ling Tong, Ma Chao and others, but General Eleven Xingyao remained motionless.

Yan Rong's change actually divided the forces of the inner eight sects into two, one half continued to encircle Ling Tong, Ma Chao and others, and the other half supported the two sides with Twenty Stars.

But in this way, Eleven Stars will not move, and Yan Rong's changes are equivalent to no changes, but it is precisely the strongest response.

It is very simple that Eleven Xingyao will not move, which means that Yan Rong still has a lot of cards under his hands, and Wang Zha may be among them, but only Wu Yanguang, Han Yanshou, Yelu Guozhen, and He Chongbao Four gates combined with the strength of 72 generals are enough to encircle and suppress Ling Tong, Ma Chao and others who came to test.

Yan Rong's change of formation was quickly seen by Zhuge Liang on the high platform, and he frowned slightly. The person who can set up the Tianmen Formation is not a simple person.

Let's not talk about the fighting skills of Yan Rong and Zhuge Liang.

In Tianmen Formation, Zhao Yun didn't have too many temptations to fight in the north. He rushed into the enemy's side with Yajiao gun in hand. Ma Dai, Pang Rou, Yan Xing, Wang Mo, Bian Xiang, Zhang Quan, Zhe Yuqing, Zhe Yuxun, Bi Zaiyu , Wang Ji, Zhu Ju, Ma Zhong, Xia Houlan and other four cavalry leaders rushed into the formation.

The three heavy armored cavalry had their own characteristics. Zhao Yun first used the javelin of the Xiliang Javelin Cavalry to clear the way, and the two types of tanks, the Golden Spear Cavalry and the Zongyun Cavalry, swept across the two sides.

A mid-distance strike with a javelin can be described as terrifying, and the shields of the Liao people can't be stopped by a javelin sweep.

Zhao Yun easily entered the formation with a luxurious lineup!
