Chapter 250: Thousand miles of robbery is just for food

Jia Xu looked forward from a high place and realized that the Bagua Formation was not as simple as seen on the surface.

The Bagua Formation perfectly utilizes the terrain of the twenty-limit slope, with trenches and barriers spreading in eight different directions, supplemented by heavy equipment such as chariots and well railings, as well as oars and shield soldiers, giant crossbow soldiers, and long spear soldiers harnessing the formation, which separates a series of changing and murderous channels between the huge arrays.

Xu Chu's eight thousand cavalry were completely lost and were advancing towards the center of the Bagua Formation.

Seeing Jia Xu's expression was solemn, Ma Chao couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Military advisor, what's the situation?"

"It's not a good thing!" Jia Xu held his forehead with his hand and said in a calm voice, "This formation is not a simple Bagua formation, but a supreme formation that combines terrain, baggage, equipment and pits. It is much more complicated and dangerous than the Bagua formation in the military books. If you don't observe carefully, it's really hard to find the power of it, but..."

Ma Chao's face changed and he said anxiously: "But what?"

Jia Xu said: "But this ultimate formation is a dead formation!"

"Death formation?"

"The so-called dead formation means that the army that forms a large formation is dead. They can only change different formations on the spot, but cannot change their positions!" Jia Xu said this, and a cunning smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said casually, "It seems that geniuses have difficulties with geniuses, haha."

Ma Chao's expression moved and said in a calm voice: "Did the military advisor think of a solution?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, called Ma Chao to the front, and gave this advice. Ma Chao understood and raised his gun and howled, "Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry, prepare to attack!"

Amid the dull sound of war horses, a thousand armored cavalry rushed out and entered Ma Chao to form a formation.

"assault!"

Ma Chao led the Tianlang Spear forward and rushed out first. Amid the roar of shouts like a sea of ​​shouts, a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry slowly began to accelerate, gradually gathering into an unstoppable surging iron stream, sweeping towards the Bagua formation ahead. Almost at the same time, the remaining 40,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were also divided into two groups, and began to circle around the Bagua formation of the coalition forces.

The iron hooves were churning and the horses were crowded. There was no other sound in the world except for the booming hooves.

The high platform of the Bagua Formation.

"Huh?" Cao Ren suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said with a sniff, "The Xiliang bandits seem to be going on a large-scale attack!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Guo Jia's right hand, who was stroking his beard, suddenly paused. Looking around, he saw that tens of thousands of Western Liang cavalry had been divided into two strands, cutting the south and north wings of the coalition army's Bagua formation swept through, especially the black cavalry in the west, which made Guo Jia look solemn.

"Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly screamed, pointing at the Western Xiliang cavalry, who was not many people, but was magnificent, and neighed, "Damn it, that is the heavy Armored Iron Cavalry of the Ma Butcher! Military advisor, the army on the west side of the Bagua Formation could not block the assault of these monsters. Please allow the generals to lead the army to attack!"

At this moment, the group of heavily armored iron cavalry had already rushed into the Bagua Formation with the momentum that crushed everything. Guo Jia's eyes were cold. The choice of entry of this group of heavily armored iron cavalry was extremely tricky, and they just avoided the pit formation on the left and the rushing formation on the right, and then cut into the junction of the two corners of Qian and Dui. The originally integrated Bagua Formation was broken in an instant.

Wherever the heavily armored iron cavalry passed, the coalition soldiers were divided and retreated one after another, and their flesh and blood could not stop the assault of these iron armored monsters.

The defeat of Ganjiao and Duijiao quickly triggered a chain reaction, causing chaos in the entire Bagua formation. The eight thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who rushed left and right in the formation, could not break through the encirclement, quickly felt this subtle change, and the morale of the army was greatly improved. Xu Chu even led the wolf-fanged iron hammer to his head and said sternly: "Brothers, the major general and military advisor have also attacked. Now let's see ours, kill~~"

"Kill and kill ~~"

The eight thousand Western Liang cavalry responded with three shouts, with a rainbow of momentum.

"Awesome, I am worthy of being a Poison Jia!" A bright color suddenly flashed through Guo Jia's bright eyes, and he said in a voice, "I discovered the weakness of this military advisor's 'Gaggard Formation' so quickly. It's really worthy of being famous!"

"Military advisor!" Xiahou Yuan said anxiously, "If you don't think of a solution, the Bagua Formation will be broken!"

"It's too late!" Guo Jia shook his head and said in a deep voice, "As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, the Bagua formation can no longer be maintained! However, although the formation is broken, the army is still there. If the Xiliang army wants to easily defeat the coalition forces, it is also a delusion. The real decisive battle has just begun now."

Guo Jia's tone was full of regret. If he could give him two more months, the Bagua Formation could be fully trained. At that time, even if he was hit by a sudden attack like the Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry, the coalition forces would have enough adaptability to resolve it. However, now, because the training time is too short, it is difficult for tens of thousands of Guandong troops to truly understand the essence of the Bagua Formation, and it will not be able to move and change positions in time and accurately. The power of the Bagua Formation can even be less than 30%, and it is expected that it will be resolved by Jia Dushi.

Although the Bagua Formation was broken, Guo Jia had no expression of anger on his face. He brushed his sleeves and ordered: "All order the entire army to shrink to the central army, relying on the original pits, gullies, chariots, and well railings in the formation, and arrange the front arrows, fish scales, Xuanxiang, and Yanxing formations in turn, preparing to fight the Xiliang army to the death."

Xiahou Yuan said: "What should I do if the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry who entered the formation?"

"Let them out of the battle!" Guo Jia said calmly, "This round, Dushi Jia won, and this military advisor admitted it."

As wise as Guo Jia, of course he knew that continuing to surround the Xiliang cavalry with 8,000 cavalry in the formation would be a disaster. If he could not eat this cavalry in the shortest time, he would probably be played by the Dushi Jia in turn to play "four-faced attacks, and the center blossoms". In this way, more than 100,000 coalition forces would be worried about collapse!

It’s easy to be mature and heavy, and it’s clear when you think about it.

Of course, Guo Jia would not take more than 100,000 coalition forces to take risks for the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry.

“Woooooooooooo…”

With Guo Jia's order, the endless sound of trumpets suddenly sounded in the coalition formation. When he heard the sound of trumpets, more than 100,000 coalition soldiers who were originally scattered on the twenty-mile slope immediately used favorable terrain as a cover, and the oar and shield soldiers rushed into the chariot formation, and the well railing formation broke behind and slowly contracted towards the central army formation.

Yangzhou, Hengjiang Port.

Jinfan thieves were fighting fiercely with the Jiujiang naval army. The entire port was shrouded in the burning fire. Among the flames, Jiujiang soldiers were running and wailing. From time to time, unlucky guys rushed towards the river with flames all over their bodies, and then fell into the cold river water with a loud bang.

On the surface of the river, dozens of Jinfan thieves were rushing to confront more than 100 fighting ships of the Jiujiang Navy.

"Accelerate, accelerate again! Crash, hit and kill these damn thieves~~"

The commander of Jiujiang Navy, Zhang Ying, waved the machete in his hand and shouted loudly, constantly urging the oar to speed up the oars. Under Zhang Ying's urging, the narrow and long battleship crashed into the waist of a Jinfan Bush in front at full speed! The heads of the Jiujiang Bush ship were all wrapped in iron, thick and hard. Once it hit Jinfan Bush's waist, it would be afraid that it would immediately crash into two pieces.

Unfortunately, the Jinfan Ship is Ganning's ship.

"Dongdong!"

Amid the deep footsteps, two huge barefoot feet stepped heavily on the deck that Jinfan rushed. The cold river water flowed down the thick calves. The river water was mixed with a faint blood. It was instantly red when it flowed onto the deck. It was... the enemy's blood.

"Lingling..."

The sharp nine-ring machete turned horizontally in the air, and the nine iron rings collided with each other and made a crisp sound, just like nine copper bells shaking in the wind, crisp and pleasant. Only those who are familiar with the ringtone can hear the implicit murderous aura! Unfortunately, all those who are familiar with the ringtone have been buried at the bottom of the river.

"Come on bamboo pole!"

Gan Ning held the knife in his left hand and raised his right hand. A Jinfan thief had already handed a slender bamboo pole into Gan Ning's hand. Gan Ning suddenly raised his head, and the Jiujiang Dou Ship that was bound to hit the front was already burning with a burning murderous intent in his eyes! Suddenly, Gan Ning ran forward a few steps, then gently tapped the bamboo pole on the deck, rubbed his body and pounced in front of him.

“Gaga ~~”

Amid the harsh bending sound, the slender bamboo pole pressed into a bow shape in an instant. When it was about to be crushed, the bamboo pole burst out with amazing flexibility and bounced outwards, which actually bounced Gan Ning's heavy body several feet away, rushing towards the Jiujiang Dou Ship that was rushing towards him like a big bird!

"Sa~~"

The figure spread across the sky, and Gan Ning jumped onto the bow of the Jiujiang Dou Ship like a flying fish.

"Kill him!" Zhang Ying, the commander of the Jiujiang Naval Army, was shocked when he saw that there was a pirate on the bow of the ship. He rushed to death and shouted, "Brothers, come on, kill him!"

"hey-hey!"

Gan Ning sneered twice, his eyes showing a ferocious look, and he had already stared at Zhang Ying like a wolf.

"Um?"

Zhang Ying shivered with excitement, took two steps instinctively, turned around and wanted to run into the cabin.

"I want to run? No way!" Gan Ning roared, jumped up, spread his arms, like a big bird spreading its wings, and rushed towards Zhang Ying. He was in the air and shouted loudly, "The person who was targeted by his grandfather has never lived until the sun rises the next day, just accept your fate~~"

"kill!"

A Jiujiang sailor howled and waved his sword to slash at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning twisted his body casually, and the Jiujiang sailor slashed the air with a knife. The next moment, heavy pressure came from the top of his head, but Gan Ning stepped heavily on his head. With a puff, the Jiujiang sailor's head was shattered by Gan Ning, and it cracked like a watermelon. The next moment, Gan Ning's heavy tiger body jumped into the air again, and the eagle rushed to Zhang Ying's head like a chicken.

"Help~~"

Zhang Yinglang howled and rubbed his body and pounced in front of him.

"Dongdong!"

Two huge soles suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Ying like ghostly, almost breaking the deck of the fighting ship. Zhang Ying couldn't stop and hit the two feet. He felt a buzzing sound and suddenly saw stars popping up in front of his eyes. Gan Ning kicked Zhang Ying unconscious, pulled the knife and pulled the owl down the head, then picked up Zhang Ying's bloody head, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Ying is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Hearing Gan Ning's roaring Jinfan thieves responding, Jiujiang River Army was so scared that they were stunned for a moment before bowing to the deck, raising the weapons in their hands, and said in a panic: "I am willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender~~"

Xingyang, twenty-li slope.

Xu Chu rode his horse to Jia Xu and said dejectedly: "Military advisor, I will disappoint you."

"General Xu Chu, don't be discouraged." Jia Xu said slowly, "It's all because of my military advisor's carelessness. He almost implicated the general and fell into the enemy's formation. If the lord returns, Xu will definitely be responsible for carrying a thorn and apologizing. Also, how are the soldiers in the general's headquarters injured?"

"The brothers are not seriously injured." Xu Chu replied in a muffled voice, "The Bagua Bird Formation is not good outside, but when he got inside, he realized that the place was very big! The coalition forces were afraid of hurting their own people by accident, so they did not dare to shoot with bows and arrows. They just turned around but couldn't turn it out. In the end, they were tripped and trapped, and some other things hurt hundreds of brothers."

"It is not easy to lose only a few hundred brothers this time." Ma Chao said in a deep voice, "But next, there will be a decisive battle on the front. I want to see what other tricks the coalition forces can play?"

"Major General, don't underestimate the enemy." Jia Xu said in a narrow voice, "Our army is here to show its power, so that the Kwantung coalition forces are afraid of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. They do not really want to fight the coalition forces to the death!"

"Don't worry, the general knows it." Ma Chao said in a singular voice, "After all, the coalition forces have as many as tens of thousands, twice that of our army. Moreover, most of our Xiliang cavalry are light cavalry, and they win by their maneuver speed. They are not the main force in forcing the attack. If they set up a decisive battle with the Guandong coalition, they will attack the enemy with their own shortcomings."

Jia Xu said nothing, but nodded with relief.

Yangzhou, Hengjiang Port.

The night wind is like a knife, and the wasteland is cold.

A blood-colored wolf flag was flying in the wind. Under the banner, the horse was wearing golden armor and rode on the fiery red sweat-blooded horse, like a golden armored god of war, majestic and murderous intent. Behind the horse, Dian Wei and Gan Ning were all wearing heavy armor, each holding iron halberds and steel knives to protect the left and right.

“Hululu~~”

With the heavy sound of war horses, Xiliang's general Li Meng rode his horse forward and said sternly: "Lord has an order, get on the horse!"

"Crazy!"

With Li Meng's order, six thousand Xiliang soldiers all turned over and over the horse!

Under the night sky, the dark Xiliang Iron Cavalry was like a group of evil ghosts from Fengdu Ghost Prison, wearing dark iron armor. What was particularly frightening is that these cavalry were covered with hideous and terrifying ghost face masks. The faces of Xiliang soldiers were not visible, but only the green faces and the cold murderous intent that appeared in the narrow cave.

Ma Yue nodded with satisfaction, but a faint regret flashed deep in his eyes.

Just now, the eight thousand soldiers who set out on the expedition had only six thousand left. Among them, nearly a thousand soldiers fell ill on the ship because they were not accustomed to the water and land (fortunately in winter, the climate in the south was not much different from the north. If they had gone to the expedition in summer, the eight thousand army of Ma Butcher might have been destroyed before they reached Jiangdong.). Ma Yue had no choice but to let the sick soldiers follow Gan Ning's naval operations.
