Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 297: Eight Diagrams! (Thanks to Brother Kong Cheng for the small reward~)
Looking at Lu Bu's gentle gaze, Cheng Lian nodded helplessly:

"I obey your command..."

Ever since his left leg became disabled, Cheng Lian was once in a state of anxiety.

I thought I would have to withdraw from the battlefield and could only watch my former brothers sacrifice their lives on the battlefield.

However, he did not expect that his lord would specially order someone to make a special saddle and stirrups for him.

Previously, the normal stirrup was only on the left side.

But now his stirrup is on the right side, and there is a part on the left side that can be used to tie the calf.

It can make his body more stable on the warhorse!
As a result, he, who had originally thought that his military career was completely over, suddenly regained his confidence.

He was able to continue to shine on the battlefield as he wished!

But unfortunately, I can't take on some particularly critical or dangerous tasks now.

I can only help the lord...

Although he was unhappy, Cheng Lian knew that his physical condition would not allow it.

He also didn't want to bring a fatal blow to the entire army because of his own mistakes...

Lu Bu looked at Cheng Lian's departing back.

The guard beside him was leading Cheng Lian's horse, which had a new stirrup on the right side.

During this period, cavalry generally used single-sided stirrups.

This caused the cavalrymen's bodies to often become unstable due to collisions when fighting on horseback.

Therefore, when making this special set of horse harness for Cheng Lian, he also ordered people to start making double stirrups.

At present, his five thousand Bingzhou cavalry and one thousand iron pagodas have all been equipped with double stirrups!
This further increases their combat effectiveness!
After this period of continuous training, Tiefutu has become more stable than when he fought more than half a month ago.

As the horses and soldiers adapted to the weight of the full body armor, their speed gradually increased.

This time when fighting against Liu Bei’s army, it will definitely become a powerful killing weapon!
When everything was ready, Lu Bu immediately led an army of 30,000 to Xinyang County.

……

Xinyang City.

Wei Yan, who was standing on the tower, looked at the enemy's disorderly attack on the city with a sneer on his face and couldn't help laughing:
"I think Liu Bei is just a name in name only!

"If it weren't for the help of a very powerful military advisor, they would have been swallowed up by our army long ago!"

Beside him, Liu Ye smiled bitterly and advised:
"You must not be careless, Wen Chang. Even the lord is afraid of Liu Bei's army.

“We have to be careful and make every move carefully.

"Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you'll lose everything."

Wei Yan grinned and responded:

"Don't worry, Zi Yang, I'm just talking.

"Now that the army is approaching, how can I not respond with all my strength?

“It’s just that Liu Bei’s army doesn’t look like they are attacking the city with all their might.

"What do you think they are thinking?"

Liu Ye shook his head slightly:

“I can’t figure out what’s going on, but the other side’s military advisor is so powerful, he must have some brilliant ideas.

"Compared to this matter, I am more curious about why such a powerful strategist would specifically assist Liu Bei?

"Liu Bei is a mat weaver and shoe seller. Does he have any special charm?"

Wei Yan raised his mouth with disdain:
“Maybe they have some special bond.

"Just like my lord and I back then, we hit it off right away!"

Liu Ye rolled his eyes at him speechlessly:
"Why do I remember that you joined the army only after fighting with General Gao Shun?"

Wei Yan coughed dryly:
"You remembered it wrong..."

While the two were joking with each other, Liu Bei's army suddenly called back! Then Wei Yan saw that the enemy soldiers were divided into two groups.

He began to run in the clockwise direction on the battlefield, and a Tai Chi pattern was faintly formed!
Then more soldiers circled, formed arrays, and transformed outside the circular Tai Chi.

When everyone stopped, a complete Bagua formation without a trace of disharmony was formed!
When Liu Ye on the city wall saw the formation set up by the enemy army, his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

He actually sensed a hint of danger from this formation.

At this moment, the center of the enemy's formation.

A young man wearing a Seven Stars Taoist robe shouted to the people on the tower in a clear but extremely loud voice:

"Do you recognize this formation?"

Faced with the young military advisor's question, everyone on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wei Yan turned his head and looked at Liu Ye:

"Does Zi Yang know it?"

Liu Ye carefully observed the subtle details of the Bagua formation and replied after pondering:

“The ordinary Bagua formation has eight fixed gates. As long as you know the position of each gate, it is relatively easy to break.

“But at the moment, this Bagua formation looks ordinary, but the positions between the doors are not locked.

“That is to say, this Bagua formation can change the position of the gates at any time, thus evolving into a completely new formation!
"The mystery is too profound, I can't see it clearly at the moment, Master Wen, don't send troops rashly!"

Seeing Liu Ye immersed in the study of formations again.

Wei Yan could also feel that the enemy's formation was not simple, so he naturally would not rashly go down to break the formation.

Successfully breaking the formation can certainly defeat the enemy, but if you fail, you will just be giving away your lives in vain.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang below once again shouted to entice:
"If you can break through this formation, our army will retreat immediately, how about that?"

When Wei Yan on the city wall heard this, he widened his eyes slightly, obviously his interest was aroused.

But he glanced at Liu Ye beside him and saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he could only suppress the impulse in his heart.

After all, there were only 20,000 defenders in the city, while the enemy had 50,000 troops.

It took five thousand people just to set up the formation.

If you want to break the formation, it is almost impossible to succeed without sending thousands of people.

But sending too many people is not a good idea, because too many people will easily lead to chaos, which will be detrimental to breaking the formation...

Just as Wei Yan began to deduce a method to break the formation in his mind, his subordinates suddenly reported:
"General Wei, General Gao Shun is leading 5,000 men into the city!"

Wei Yan showed surprise:

"Father Xiao is here! With his trap formation, maybe we can try to break it!"

Seeing that Liu Ye still ignored him, Wei Yan could only sigh unhappily and turned around to meet Gao Shun.

Not long after, Gao Shun, with a serious face, was pulled down to the top of the city wall by Wei Yan and looked at the Bagua formation set up below.

Wei Yan said expectantly:
"How about it, can the Xianzhen Camp break this formation?"

Gao Shun frowned slightly.

Originally, under Wei Yan's instigation, he had some confidence.

But now this formation looks like a slowly fluctuating stream of water.

It is square outside and round inside, with wind rising from all four sides, and its image resembles the sky.

He immediately realized that this formation was very unusual!
In addition, Lord Chu often told him how powerful and terrifying Zhuge Liang was.

Now that he is confident in setting up this formation, it will be impossible for him to be broken easily!

After a moment of silence, Gao Shun loudly asked to Liang below:
"I wonder what this formation is called?!"

Zhuge Liang in the center of the formation slowly waved the feather fan in his hand and replied clearly:
"I call it the Eight Formations Diagram!"
