Chapter 120: Eight Formations trapped Deng Ai

"The Eight Formation Map, what the general mentioned was the stone formation established by the Prime Minister outside Jiangzhou?"

"Yes, it's the stone formation." Jiang Wei said.

"I heard that the formation was very powerful. His Majesty fought against Lu Xun in Jiangzhou, and he trapped Lu Xun's army without any effort. Later, although Lu Xun escaped by chance, he also trapped Gan Ning, the most powerful general in Jiangdong!" A general spoke.

"Shishuai Jiang, I wonder how powerful this formation is?"

"Although the power of this formation is not as powerful as the stone formation in Jiangzhou, it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary military formations. I predict that Deng Ai will definitely not be able to break this formation. Tomorrow, just lure Deng Ai into the formation and then capture and kill him, and the enemy will be defeated!" Jiang Wei said.

...

Liaodong Army Camp.

Deng Ai took the towel, wiped his face, and then said with regret: "It's such a pity. He almost took Jiang Wei's life. He finally delayed it until night, but he didn't expect that Jiang Wei's boy's reaction was really fast."

Bei Yan next to him immediately stepped forward and spoke: "General, Jiang Wei is injured now. He will definitely not be able to fight tomorrow. We will definitely be much easier when we attack tomorrow."

"Don't underestimate Jiang Wei. Although Jiang Wei was injured and could not go to battle, I think it's okay to command the battle. Jiang Wei was injured, at best, just a blow to the morale of the Han army. Although our army is crowded, it has to be cautious. Pass the orders and let the soldiers rest well. There may be a big battle tomorrow." Deng Ai said.

...

In front of the two armies, the Han army formed a military formation.

Faced with the Han army's formation, the soldiers of the Liaodong army were stunned.

In the Central Plains, military formations are not used very much, mainly because it is easy to break the formation and difficult to build a formation. It takes a lot of time and energy to train a military formation, but if you meet someone who understands it, it is very easy to break the formation. It is like Cao Ren's Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation back then. When he met Xu Shu, who was aware of his skills, he only asked Zhao Yun to bring 500 soldiers to break the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation that Cao Ren had finally trained.

Therefore, it is okay to use the military formation occasionally, but if it is used frequently, it will be easily targeted.

However, the enemies that Liaodong soldiers face on weekdays are Wuhuan, Goguryeo and other tribes. These ethnic minorities do not know any formation at all, so the Liaodong soldiers' understanding of formation is almost blank. Now when they see Jiang Wei set up a military formation, they are all stunned.

"General, look at the Han army has set up a formation. No one in the Liaodong generals recognize this thing." Bei Yan said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other. I, Deng Ai Shu, have not read much, but I have read a lot of military books. Let's take me to see what mysterious Jiang Wei is doing."

In front of the two armies, Jiang Wei did not ride a horse, but chose to take a car to go out. After all, Jiang Wei was injured, and if he rode a horse, he would easily tear the wound.

The car was the kind of four-wheeler that Zhuge Liang often rode, and someone pushed it behind it. In order to reduce the weight, Jiang Wei did not wear armor, but just put on a Confucian robe, which seemed a bit elegant. If Jiang Wei had another feather fan, it would have a bit of Zhuge Liang's taste when he was young.

"Jiang Shuai, look, Deng Ai is out." The soldier next to him pointed in front.

"Okay, push me forward." Jiang Wei waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately pushed Jiang Wei forward.

Opposite, Deng Ai saw Jiang Wei being pushed out in the car, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, Jiang Wei on the opposite side shouted: "Deng Ai, I will set up a set today. Do you dare to break the set?"

"Hmph, a general is not aware of the right time, the right place, the harmony of the people, and the formation is not a mediocre general. How could I, Deng Ai, not knowing the formation? Jiang Wei, I heard that you have learned some skills by Zhuge Liang as your teacher. Today, you will come over and show your skills!" Deng Ai said.

Deng Ai was born in a poor family. Although he was very smart, he really understood the formation since he met Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is also very knowledgeable about formations, otherwise he would not have fought with Zhuge Liang for so long. Deng Ai's formation attainments were passed down from Sima Yi. Although he dare not say how profound it is, ordinary formations will definitely not defeat Deng Ai.

Jiang Wei waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately pushed Jiang Wei into the formation, and the formation began to operate.

Deng Ai frowned and looked at the Han army's formation opposite, and then his expression gradually solidified.

"I have never seen this one before." Deng Ai sighed lightly and began to look for the flaws of the array.

"This formation looks difficult or not, it is not simple. It looks like there are flaws everywhere, but Jiang Wei should not be so unbearable. There must be fraud inside. You have to find someone to try the formation." Thinking of this, Deng Ai turned his head and looked at the sides, clicked a not-so-important general, and said confidently: "You bring five hundred soldiers, enter from the west, then go around to the southwest, and then jump straight to the east. I will send someone to meet you in the east."

When the general saw Deng Ai's confident appearance, he thought Deng Ai had a way to break the formation, so he immediately led his troops into the formation.

"Hmph, you Deng Ai, if you want someone to send me a formation to test me, how can you get what you want? The person who comes, beats the drum, raises the yellow flag, and changes the formation." Jiang Wei shouted lightly.

The Liaodong general led five hundred people to the front, and the Han soldiers did not stop him, and gave up a way and let the Liaodong general rush in.

"Brothers, follow me to the southwest!" The Liaodong general shouted, and then rushed towards the northwest.

"General, I'm wrong, that's not the southwest, that's the north." One of them shouted.

"North? How is that possible? You said, where is that?"

"Go back to the general, that should be south!"

"Why is it south again?" Liaodong generals drove around for a day and suddenly found that various military flags in the formation were fluttering, covering the sky and the sun. At the same time, the dust brought about by the Han army's running made people unable to distinguish the distance and it was even more difficult to distinguish the direction.

"Which side is the southwest!" Seeing the Han army slowly surrounding him, the Liaodong general was shocked and at a loss.

"General, this formation is strange. Why don't you withdraw from the same path first and wait until you find the direction before coming in."

"Okay, I'll send an order, let's go back first." The Liaodong general turned his head and suddenly found that he couldn't tell which direction he should go back.

In the distance, Deng Ai looked at the Liaodong general who was confused in the formation.

"What is he doing? Didn't I say, let him walk southwest, why did he go around! Can't these Liaodong people even tell the difference between the east, west, south and north!"

Deng Ai watched helplessly as the five hundred people were slowly annihilated, but he could do nothing.

Deng Ai turned around again, looked back, then pointed to a Liaodong general and said, "You come out."

"The last one will be here!"

Deng Ai pointed to the east and asked, "What direction is that?"

"General, that's east."

Deng Ai pointed southwest again: "What direction is that?"

"That's the southwest." The Liaodong general looked at Deng Ai in confusion.

"Well, it's very good. Listen, you will lead 500 people into the formation from the west, then attack the southwest, then go east, and fight from the east. Is it clear?"

"First go southwest and then east, and finally you will understand!"

The Liaodong general led 500 people into the Han army formation, but like the man just now, these 500 people also rushed around for a long time and were then destroyed.

"No, this formation is strange!" Deng Ai finally realized that the two Liaodong generals had fallen into the formation because they did not know the southeast, southwest and northwest.

Two generals rushed into the formation one after another, and were killed later. The Liaodong generals around him had already begun to doubt whether Deng Ai could break the formation. At the same time, some people also felt that Deng Ai seemed to be looking for cannon fodder to test the formation.

Feeling Deng Ai's eyes swept, the smart man couldn't help but shrink his head, obviously he didn't want to be chosen as cannon fodder to die. At this time, Deng Ai also noticed the strangeness of the soldiers. Deng Ai knew that if he continued to look for cannon fodder to die, the soldiers might be centrifuged.

"Forget it, I'd better try it myself. Anyway, Jiang Wei is injured, and no one in the enemy camp can stop me." Thinking of this, Deng Ai ordered: "I will take three thousand soldiers to explore the formation in person. You will be outside to respond. If there is anything wrong with me in the formation, attack and rescue me immediately."

"The last one will receive orders!"

...

"Jiang Shuai, look, Deng Ai is here!"

"Is Deng Ai here?" Jiang Wei stood up excitedly.

"Jiang Shuai, be careful, your injury has not healed yet."

"It's okay, as long as you can kill Deng Ai, what's the point of this injury? Please help me on stage and I will personally direct it." Jiang Wei said.

Deng Ai came to the formation and rushed to the side of Bei Yan and ordered: "Take people here and I will go in and break the formation. If you see that I can't rush out, attack and support me immediately."

"Don't explain it clearly!"

After Deng Ai gave the order, he rushed into the formation first.

"Okay, Deng Ai has indeed entered the formation. Today is the day when you, Deng Ai, are burying." Jiang Wei snorted coldly, raised the flag in his hand, and shouted softly: "Change the formation."

On the other side, Deng Ai rushed into the formation, and saw the surrounding military flags shaking, the surrounding dust was flying, sand and stones were flying, and shouting and killing sounds shook the sky. From time to time, cold arrows would come. It was difficult to tell the direction in the formation.

"I understand! No wonder the two of them broke into the formation just now. It turned out that it was difficult to tell the direction in this formation." Deng Ai sighed, and began to think about the method of breaking the formation.

However, this formation was designed by Zhuge Liang based on the Eight Formation of Jiangzhou, so it also has the same characteristics as the Eight Formation. As long as the soldiers in the formation run and use some tricks to make people unable to distinguish the direction. If they rush around after entering the formation, it is the most unfavorable thing. They can easily lose their direction and eventually be annihilated.

Deng Ai is also a smart person. He realized this shortly after entering the formation. Deng Ai knew that if he was rushing around in this situation, he would definitely fall into the formation with the two of them before, so Deng Ai immediately ordered everyone to form a group and not move rashly.
