The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 996 The Second Form

Zhuge Liang, the coach of the Song Dynasty, and Yan Rong, the coach of the Tianmen Formation of the Liao Kingdom, made their own moves and plans, and achieved some results but failed to achieve their final goals.

Yan Rong's change of formation severely damaged Zhang Quan's Tenth Army, with a loss of [-]% of its troops. Five generals Wang Cheng, Yan Jun, Wang Mi, He Luan, and Huang Hua died in battle when they were surrounded.

Among them, Wang Cheng was shot and killed by Dongxian Wen Rong, Wang Mi was killed by Qu Li, and the rest Yan Jun, He Luan, and Huang Hua all died in the chaos.

Zhuge Liang's counterattack and counterattack made the loss of Fang Ritu Xie Wu, Jishui Bao Jia Mao, Wei Yueyan Li Yi, Bi Shui Cheng Zhunahai, Bi Yuewu Guo Yongtai, and five star generals.

It was Yan Rong's backhand that was forced out, and it was this backhand who was caught off guard that brought the battle to a stalemate.

After Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, and Yang Zaixing rescued Zhang Quan's Tenth Army Corps, they united Zhao Yun's Ninth Army Corps, Ma Teng's First Army Corps, and Zhang Xiu's Second Army Corps. They fought for a long time.

In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who went first to withdraw his troops!

Because it is meaningless to continue the fierce battle, the North Gate is also the wounded gate as it was speculated at the beginning. It is a fierce battle with a defensive formation like the Tianmen Formation. Even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory.

The fundamental purpose of Tianmen Formation to stop Da Song is still achieved!

In a day of fierce battles, let the generals rest first, let the medical soldiers rescue the wounded, etc., but the advisers such as Zhuge Liang, Shao Yong, Yu Fan, Lai Buyi, Liu Ye, Qiao Daoqing, Wen Tianxiang, etc. cannot rest, and must continue to calculate the changed Tianmen Formation.

When Zhuge Liang and others first entered Dazhai to deduce the model of the Tianmen Formation, Li Zhu and Yuan Wu also rushed here, and the blood stains on their bodies were not washed away, especially Yuan Wu's rare cry when he was trapped in his uniform. The tenth army of the army fought for a long time.

However, neither Li Zhu nor Yuan Wu had any injuries. They were both hidden masters among scribes with top martial arts skills.

"You two have been fighting for a long time, so let's take a break first and then study the Tianmen Formation!" Zhuge Liang persuaded the two of them.

Yuan Wu said first: "There is no need to rest, I will first talk about my insights in the Tianmen Formation, and I will deduce it with you later."

Li Zhu saw Yuan Wu panting and immediately continued: "The latest eight gates of the Tianmen Formation are the real foundation of the formation. The outer eight gates are all fake gates. The eleven star generals and the twenty-eight star generals are just to supplement the troops. The real The core is the four gates that change from the eight inner gates.

Deduce first, everyone, I will come as soon as I go! "

After Yuan Wu and Li Zhu finished speaking, they left in a hurry, apparently to wash off the blood on their bodies before resuming the deduction.

However, the two of them personally experienced the Tianmen Formation, in which the key information is very important, and many confusing things have been put aside.

Remove all the redundant things, and what is left is the core of the Tianmen Formation!
The Tianmen Formation in front of Zhuge Liang and others is like the second form of the boss in the game.

After the second experience of fighting the Tianmen Formation, forcing out the second form means that as long as you find the door of this form, unless there is a third form, breaking the Tianmen Formation is just around the corner.

Let me first explain the second form of Tianmen Formation. To change the second form of Tianmen Formation, the key is to force back four of the inner eight gates, and the premise of this is to block the support of the Eleven Star Generals and the 28 Star Generals.

This time Zhuge Liang blocked most of the troops with Zhang Quan and Zhao Yun, and Yan Rong wanted to destroy Zhang Quan all the way to force the Tianmen Formation to appear in its second form.

If you are down-to-earth, Yan Rong is greedy for heads. If it is not for the purpose of destroying Zhang Quan's Tenth Army, but for Eleven Xingyao to rescue Nei Bamen, then it may take several times to lose the strength of the Tianmen Formation to reach the second form. to do it.

For the third attack on Tianmen Formation, it is very likely that the troops of 28 Xingyao and [-] XingXiu (the XingXiu generals are dead and still have troops), will support the inner eight sects first, which is definitely a variable.

At the same time, the new eight gates, the outer four gates are composed of the outer eight gates, the inner four gates are composed of the inner eight gates, the outer four gates are the formation walls, and the formation wall is the part with the most troops. After all, after being ambushed, retreat and escape to heaven. is everyone's first reaction.

There is also a hidden change here, which was proposed by Liu Ye: "Since the outer four schools are not the core, they can be abandoned!
But don't forget that the purpose of the Tianmen Formation is to prevent the Great Song Dynasty from marching westward, not to completely destroy the Great Song Yumenguan army.

The outer four doors are likely to retreat to the inner four doors, forming a new change! "

Liu Ye's words made all the great talents fall into deep thought. It is true that the purpose of the Tianmen Formation is to stop them. This is the same reason that Zhuge Liang used the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Formation to stop Lu Xun from pursuing troops in the novel.

Why did Zhuge Liang send Huang Chengyan to release Lu Xun into the battle?
Is it true that a few stones that Huang Chengyan boasted can wipe out the tens of thousands of troops led by Lu Xun?How can it be!

If it really has such great power, the Shu Han is invincible, and the road to Shu is difficult. If there is a gossip formation everywhere at the key position of entering Shu, how could it be possible that Wei will destroy Shu decades later?
The actual situation is Zhuge Liang's gossip formation, the purpose is to block the advance of Lu Xun's army, but it needs the cooperation of the army of Shu, it is indeed defensive, and Lu Xun's retreat is part of the reason for the deterrence of the gossip formation, but it is definitely not annihilation of the whole army. scared.

But at that time, although the Shu Han suffered a disastrous defeat, it was not that they were powerless to resist. If the Shu Han pulled up the last legion to fight against Soochow, and used defensive formations such as the Bagua formation, Lu Xun could not guarantee that he would win completely. The last one who can do it is Cao Wei!
Because of Huang Chengyan's appearance, Lu Xun judged that Zhuge Liang should be courteous before fighting, and fighting before fighting. If he really wants to die, both Soochow and Shuhan will suffer, and being attacked by Cao Wei is the worst policy.

So Zhuge Liang's gossip formation is only part of the deterrent to Lu Xun, the two classics to deter and retreat powerful enemies!
The other time was Romance's hollow city strategy, would Sima Yi be so stupid that he would retreat without sending someone to test it out?It's all because Zhuge Liang knows that Sima Yi's situation must be self-respecting!

In the same way, the Tianmen Formation is also for blocking rather than completely destroying.

After the layer-by-layer mystery of the Tianmen Formation was broken, the total strength of the Liao people was still there, and the defensive measures also lost their offensive and defensive power!

So you can't break the Tianmen formation by chance, you can also use hard power to forcibly break the Tianmen formation, but this is no different from attacking and defending positions. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhuge Liang chose to retreat this time, although he still has a backup this time.

Yan Rong, who was fighting, wanted to defend with all his heart, and the situation was definitely not a good thing for Da Song.

There is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War: "The first step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the army, and the third step is to attack the city!" Forcing Yan Rong to devote himself to defense is no different from attacking a city.

The Heaven-breaking Gate Formation is not meant to be forcibly broken, it is a 'siege of the city', if you can't do a 'cutting strategy', you must also do a 'cutting soldiers', this is the real Breaking the Heaven Gate Formation.

For this purpose, in the face of the newly emerged Tianmen Formation and Eight Gate Formation, Zhuge Liang and others started a new deduction.
