Chapter 701: Breaking the Six Ding Armor Formation, Jiang Boyue Takes Control of the Military Power

"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated——"

Following Meng Huo's roar, the cave masters knew what was happening. Their roars, louder than the others, could be heard far away from the barbarian's military tent.

Because Cao Wei was far away and attacked closely, Su Lai was quite interested in Nanzhong;

Also because of the dangerous terrain and criss-crossing mountains in the South Central region, the barbarians here are used to being the kings of the mountains behind closed doors, and have never really recognized the Shu Han regime;

Moreover, the ethnic groups in the central and southern regions are complex, and the customs and culture are hugely different from those in the central plains.

Originally, Nanzhong and Shuzhong could still live in peace and harmony, but now... Young Master Huawan is dead. This is nothing more than a huge provocation from the Han people to their barbarians.

What's more, along with the news that the young master Hua Wan was forced to death, there was another news - Chengdu was really empty!

Whether it's for revenge or for profit, this time... the cave masters and tribal leaders in Nanzhong all share the same hatred.

Cheng Yu fanned the flames at the right time.

"What you cave masters are saying is yes, it is tolerable, and what is intolerable? In the past, Shuzhong only bullied the other side, but now it has gained the favor of a new enemy... It is tolerable, but what is intolerable... Barbarian King, you cave masters, The King of Wei has spared no effort to hold back the main force of Shu thieves on the frontal battlefield. This is a God-given opportunity to help the king and the cave masters seize the middle of Shu, divide the land in the middle of Shu, and use this to comfort the spirit of the young master! "

Following Cheng Yu's words, more cave masters' emotions were successfully guided, and they all shared the same hatred.

Meng Huo slapped the table again.

"You, the envoy of Wei, don't need to say anything. I am at odds with that big-eared thief. Today, I will lead my troops northward, intending to crush his bones and raise them to ashes, in order to comfort my poor daughter's spirit in heaven..."

Having said that...

Meng Huo looked at everyone present.

"King Mulu? Are your tiger and leopard soldiers ready?"

"Wutugu, you and I are brothers. My daughter is your daughter. To avenge my daughter, can your vine armor soldiers be the vanguard?"

"King Duosi, I want to take Chengdu directly, do you have any strategies?"

Following Meng Huo's words, the entire tent began to nervously order troops and make arrangements.

Although the barbarians are rough, they are extremely efficient. Nuo Da's troop dispatch project... was completed in just one hour.

In the hot summer, the sun is scorching...

The entire army pressed on the border, and the southern barbarians invaded——

…

…

On the cliff of Changqiu Mountain, many people gathered here at this moment.

A large number of Shu troops are busy searching on the mountain and below the mountain... There is a sense of deja vu that they want to see people alive and dead or corpses.

Guan Suo also arrived here. He was a little late because he got lost. Even... Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were faster than him when they arrived here.

At this time, a soldier was reporting to Zhuge Liang, "Commentary, I have asked all the mountain people along the way. Some people witnessed more than ten knights in black chasing two women, and some even said they saw it with their own eyes. The two women were finally forced into Desperate situation, and then...jump off the cliff! "

At this time, another soldier reported: "It rained heavily that day. Some mountain people passing by said that the killers in black waited in the rain for midnight to make sure that the two women did not climb up, and then they withdrew..."

Following the soldier's report, Zhuge Liang slowly asked: "Among those women, can you be sure that one of them is a barbarian?"

this…

The soldier nodded seriously, "Because the skin color of barbarian women is very easy to identify, more than one mountain man identified it. There is indeed a barbarian woman among the two women who were hunted..."

call…

Although he didn't want to believe it, Zhuge Liang had a complicated mood when he really heard this sentence. Apart from exhaling heavily, there was only a faint sigh of "Alas".

All these words were heard in Guan Suo's ears. He couldn't help but look sad, and even blamed himself deeply, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault. It was me who didn't listen to Fourth Brother and didn't follow his instructions. That's why this happened." The situation is out of control, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…”

"Since I know the whereabouts of that barbarian girl, I should contact her as soon as I come to Chengdu, and follow Fourth Brother's instructions to use the beauty trick as soon as possible, but...but...it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

The more he talked about it later, the more Guan Suo blamed himself, and the more he kept chanting "It's all my fault" from his mouth.

"It's not your fault..." Huang Yueying comforted Guan Suo, "We all thought that by doing everything well, we could hide the truth from the sky and the emptiness in Shu, but no one thought that she would use tricks to test her, let alone , she will be driven to a dead end in the suburbs of Chengdu."

Zhuge Liang heard all Huang Yueying's words to comfort Guan Suo. In fact, he was also responsible for this matter.

After all, he thought that there was no need to use so-called beauty tricks to deal with mere barbaric women.

It's because of his integrity that he doesn't even bother to use such tactics!

Zhuge Liang also has unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

"well…"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh again.

At this time...

"Zhuge Military Advisor...Zhuge Military Advisor..."

Suddenly he saw Jiang Wan rushing over on horseback. His expression was extremely solemn, and the words he shouted from a distance were especially vibrating. When he saw Zhuge Liang, he quickly turned over and dismounted...

However, because he was too nervous, Jiang Wan could not walk well after dismounting, and stumbled several times before he reached Zhuge Liang.

"what happens?"

Zhuge Liang seemed to have guessed something, but still asked in the calmest tone.

"The Southern Barbarians... The Southern Barbarians have assembled a large army. More than 100,000 barbarian soldiers have crossed the border of Nanzhong and are heading towards... towards... towards our Chengdu side -"

"really…"

Jiang Wan's words confirmed Zhuge Liang's conjecture...

All of this was too fast, the barbarian girl died too fast, and the Nanman invasion was too fast. If there was not a pair of invisible hands controlling it, then...how could it be so fast!

Zhuge Liang had some guesses, and this was probably a plan to go against Wei.

First, he united with the barbarians, and then forced the barbarian women to be killed in Chengdu. In this way, the blame was dumped on Shu, and...it could not be washed away no matter what.

What a sinister trick——

What a careful calculation——

This kind of technique has a bit of the style of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, the poisonous old man of the Wei Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang guessed Jia Xu, but with the current situation, obviously... this is not important anymore. What is important is... he must resolve this crisis.

"Military advisor..." Jiang Wan was still reporting hoarsely in pain, "I heard that this time the Barbarian King Meng Huo dispatched his first general, the Vine Armored Soldiers with protruding bones, and King Mulu... as well as the training and training of the cave masters. The tigers, leopards, eagles, dogs...these animals are ferocious, and the rear of Shu is empty and the troops are insufficient. I'm afraid...it's hard to resist!"

"Not afraid..."

In stark contrast to Jiang Wan's fear, worry, and nervousness is Zhuge Liang's calmness and calmness.

In fact, when Jiang Wan's words came out, Guan Suo's brows became tighter, and a sense of self-blame and guilt swept through his body... He subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang, and he had a feeling that at this time... without his fourth brother, Perhaps the only thing the Han army can rely on is Zhuge's military advisor, who is the embodiment of wisdom in the mouth of his fourth brother!

It comes out after being called out for a long time...

After saying "not afraid" twice in a row, Zhuge Liang slowly turned his face towards his wife Huang Yueying, "Madam, if the southern barbarians invade, if you want to protect Shu, you will probably have to rely on your wife..."

With Zhuge Liang's change of subject...

Huang Yueying said "ha" and smiled bitterly, "Some time ago, Yuan Xun (Zhuge Ke) wanted to take away a lot of explosive bags, and now my husband has come to ask for them again. It seems that I just have some inventory... I need it." Got wiped out again!”

Although it was a bitter smile, Zhuge Liang could read what he most urgently wanted from his wife's words.

This is a couple. They have lived together for so many years. Even if it is an expression or a voice, Zhuge Liang can tell that the number of fried buns in his wife's hands is sufficient... and as long as there are fried buns, this kind of destruction that surpasses this era Without strength and deterrence, the Southern Barbarians could not break through Chengdu, nor could they stir up the slightest storm.

only…

Zhuge Liang seemed to have thought of something again, the corners of his mouth tightened, and there was a bit of unspeakable bitterness.

Just as Zhuge Liang can understand Huang Yueying's thoughts from the smallest details, how can Huang Yueying not understand his thoughts?

"My husband is worried..." Huang Yueying asked softly: "I am worried that once the gunpowder is detonated, the Southern Barbarians will not be able to invade, but in the future... it will be very difficult for my husband to conquer the Southern Barbarians again, and even...this hatred, this hatred... will Passed down from generation to generation.”

Huang Yueying's words clarified her thoughts.

Zhuge Liang didn't reply, he just turned his back and shook the feather fan a little harder, and the wind blowing on his cheeks became stronger.

Admittedly, everything is still stable.

However, it is obviously not like this, there is obviously a better way——

well…

well…

Zhuge Liang didn't sigh, but his heart and eyes seemed to be sighing. Now that things have come to this, he is the only one to blame. Zhuge Kongming is the only one to blame.

…

…

Fighting Formation——

In front of Luoyang City, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen were stationed in the central army. The Wei army led by Jiang Wei was engaged in a desperate struggle with the Wei army led by Fu Shiren, Hou Yin, Zhu Ling, Ling Tong, and Gan Ning.

This is not a siege, but a battle agreed upon by both sides——

Both sides set up their own formations.

Jiang Wei still displayed the Eight Door Golden Lock Formation, while Guan Lin displayed the Six Ding Liujia Formation...

The biggest difference between the two formations is the array...

The entire array of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation is divided into eight layers, while the Six Ding Liujia Formation is divided into six layers.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is...

Standing proudly at the center of the Wei army's formation was Tianshui Youlin, Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue, while standing at the center of the Han army's formation was Guan Lin, who was appearing on the battlefield for the first time and commanding and dispatching.

The war begins...

Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen were still a little nervous.

Cao Zhen whispered to Cao Zhang, "Guan Lin is called the rebellious son of the Guan family. The more he rebels against me, the stronger he becomes. It's very evil. It's rare today that he is actually there in person. Uncle If you make an appointment to fight with him, nothing will happen, right?"

Cao Zhen's words just came out...

Cao Zhang also showed a hint of worry, "I have just sent my personal guard to ask Bo Yue if he is sure... It's almost time for my personal guard to come back."

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Zhang finished speaking, a guard hurried back. When he saw Cao Zhang, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said: "General Jiang asked the last general to bring a message to the general..."

"Say-" Cao Zhang asked quickly.

"Major General Jiang said that what Guan Lin deployed was the Six Ding Liujia Formation. There are twenty-seven variations in this formation. Every change, Major General Jiang has a way to break it. Major General Jiang reassured the two generals and sat down. The rear army, wait for him to defeat the enemy!"

As Jiang Wei’s words spread…

"Hahahaha..." Cao Zhang laughed directly and said: "What a Tianshui Jiang Boyue, I like this momentum and aura, I like-"

Just when he spoke.

The battle formation has begun. The official road leading to Luoyang... is a smooth road between the mountains, and the Wei army's eight-door golden lock formation is like a giant dragon winding around. The troops are evenly distributed among the eight gates, echoing each other.

The sun shines on the armor of every soldier, reflecting a dazzling light, as if a silver river is flowing slowly...

"One road on the left, one road on the right, break the formation--"

With Jiang Wei's order, the Wei army on the left and right held their weapons tightly and rushed forward like an arrow from a bow--

On the other hand, the Liu Ding Liu Jia formation set up by Guan Lin... The formation seems to be quite flexible and changeable. The six Dings and six Jias are very close together. Guan Lin stands at the center of the formation at a high place, and Gan Ning and Ling Tong are guarding him. He seems to be calm and relaxed.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

The drums sound like thunder...

The Han army also moved. The three roads on the left and the three roads on the right sent out brave cavalry to break the formation...

With the "rumbling" sound of war drums, the two sides began a fierce confrontation. The Wei army rushed towards the Han army with a thunderous force, trying to break the opponent's formation.

However, the Han army's Liu Ding Liu Jia formation... was like an unpredictable maze, which put the Wei army in a dilemma.

"Four roads to the left, four roads to the right, break the formation, enter from C and D, exit from A and B——"

Jiang Wei shouted again...

Unable to break the formation, he had to invest more troops.

It seemed that in Guan Lin's Liu Ding Liu Jia formation, there were endless changes, not just twenty-seven, but thirty-six, seventy-seven forty-nine...it was dizzying!

Just when Jiang Wei was struggling to try a new breakthrough, the Han army suddenly changed its formation.

The Liu Ding Liu Jia formation, which was originally closely connected, began to move rapidly, as if a huge Rubik's Cube was reorganized on the battlefield.

Overnight, the Liu Ding Liu Jia formation turned into a brand new formation...

The Wei army was caught off guard by this sudden change, and the offensive was immediately frustrated.

Cao Zhen, who was in charge of the rear army, saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Not good, I know this formation, it's a tiger-sheep formation, Guan Lin is really capable, he wants to lock Bo Yue to death... to trap Bo Yue's eight-door golden lock in a corner!"

As expected...

Guan Lin waved the flag, Ling Tong and Gan Ning had already commanded the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Wei army from all directions.

Jiang Wei's eight-door golden lock formation retreated step by step in panic, and was about to be unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the Wei army.

"Oh--"

Cao Zhen couldn't help but shout anxiously: "It's bad, as expected... Guan Lin is a bit capable, when it comes to fighting formations... Bo Yue is not his opponent..."

Compared to Cao Zhen's panic, Cao Zhang was calm.

After all, he had resisted the Hu people for many years and had been deeply tempered with the Hu people in the vast yellow sand. Cao Zhang's overall view and insight on the battlefield far exceeded Cao Zhen's.

The more Cao Zhen screamed in a hurry, the calmer Cao Zhang was.

Finally, the battle situation fell into an extremely passive state, which made Cao Zhen unbearable. "We can't continue to fight like this. I have to replace Bo Yue. Guan Lin is too evil. If we continue to fight like this, it will be all over-"

Just when he just chanted this sentence.

Cao Zhang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his whip and pointed to the mountains on the left, "Look again-"

Following the direction Cao Zhang pointed.

"Dongdongdong-"

The drums sounded like thunder!

"Woo-woo-woo-"

The horn of the Wei army's attack sounded again...

Just behind the side of Guan Lin's Liu Ding Liu Jia formation, which turned into a tiger and sheep formation, a Wei army suddenly rushed out from the mountain road, and rushed towards the Han army with great momentum amid the sound of drums and horns.

And it was visible to the naked eye that with the Wei army rushing out from the side, the entire Han army formation was shaken, and the original formation was relaxed in an instant...

Seeing that the tiger and sheep formation was in danger of being attacked from both sides, it was already on the verge of defeat.

It was at this time...

Guan Lin, who was at the center of the battle, made a prompt decision and waved the flag. The entire Han army sounded the "Ming Jin" and retreated... The Han army had no choice but to retreat!

And with the sound of the Han army's gong, the Wei army's offensive was like a rainbow, and they took the last narrow, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain road leading to Luoyang City in one fell swoop... From then on, the entire road to Luoyang City would be a smooth journey!

"Great..."

Cao Zhen, who was so nervous and worried that he was about to cry, now had a completely changed mood. His tears fell into his mouth, and for a moment, there was an extraordinarily sweet taste.

He couldn't help but scream: "Jiang Boyue, worthy of being Jiang Boyue, the Great Wei has this Jiang Boyue, which is going to let our Great Wei set sail again!"

Cao Zhang was also laughing, and his laughter was particularly rippling.

As if there was a sense of pride in understanding the situation of the battle and the pride of defeating Guan Lin, he couldn't help but stroke his yellow beard and chanted happily. "I told you, I gave Jiang Wei 50,000 soldiers, you gave Jiang Wei 20,000 soldiers, but less than 30,000 soldiers were used to set up the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation, so where did the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers go? As I expected, Jiang Wei was not sure that he could beat Guan Lin in the battle formation, but he was ingenious and found another way to attack from behind over the mountains... Hahaha, Guan Lin is capable, but compared to Bo Yue, he is not as good as him."

As Cao Zhang said this.

Cao Zhen seemed to have suddenly realized something, and he sighed with deep conviction: "If it weren't for Ziwen, I would have almost wrongly blamed Bo Yue, blame me, blame me, I will punish myself with three cups of celebratory wine tonight..."

"Don't rush to drink the celebratory wine..."

Cao Zhang narrowed his eyes, looking at the defeated and fleeing Han army, and the dozens of miles of official road leading to Luoyang, the last extremely smooth road, as if he had seen the dawn of retaking Luoyang.

He couldn't help but look at Cao Zhen.

"Zidan!"

"Ah..."

"You are not as good as me!"

"Why?"

"I won't question any of Bo Yue's orders, but you are different. You still can't trust him like I do!"

Obviously, Cao Zhang's words already have a strong flavor of party politics and winning over talented people.

More obviously, Cao Zhang will definitely let people pass on his trust and Cao Zhen's distrust to Jiang Wei's ears, which will be of great benefit to him in winning over Jiang Wei!

How could Cao Zhen be so preempted by him? He glanced at his eyebrows and forced an explanation.

"I have never questioned Bo Yue in the slightest, and I will not allow any slanderous words about me to reach Bo Yue's ears. Haha, even if Bo Yue hears these rumors, I am not afraid. Seeing that we are about to attack Luoyang City, in this battle, I will not only hand over the 20,000 soldiers to him, but also my personal soldiers! How he wants to arrange the troops, my soldiers will arrange the troops in the same way, and everything is subject to his Jiang Bo Yue's orders-"

Hey...

Don't say it, Cao Zhen's words really irritated Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang waved his hand, "You are talking as if only you, Cao Zidan, trust Bo Yue. Why? If you can let him coordinate your personal soldiers, why can't I, Cao Zhang, let him coordinate my personal soldiers? I, Cao Zhang, trust him. Even compared with my brothers, I trust him more!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhang took the lead, "Where are the personal guards?"

"I am here!"

"From now until the fall of Luoyang City, you will all be under the command of General Bo Yue. If you disobey or violate the order, you will be punished by military law-"

"Yes-"
