Chapter 270 Zhuge’s Eight Formations

Jiang Wei and Shu Ji led their cavalry to rush in from both sides, and struck into the center of the Western Region Allied Forces in a battle.

Faced with the strong advance of the Shu Army's cavalry, the Western Region Allied Forces began to appear in chaos.

The infantrymen at the front were fighting a bloody battle with the Shu army, but when they looked back, they found that their own army was in chaos. The vanguard of the Shu army had already pressed close to its commander's flag, and the morale of the army began to fluctuate for a while.

However, the commander of the Western Regions Allied Forces was a general from Cao Wei's Western Region Chief Shifu. Facing Jiang Wei's sudden advance, he showed no fear at all, and instead took the initiative to confront Jiang Wei with his personal guards.

"How dare you, my little boy from Xishu, to invade my territory of the Wei Dynasty!"

Jiang Wei was furious when he heard this and quickly charged towards him with his horse's belly under his arm. Any soldiers from the Western Regions who tried to resist in the front were either trampled to pulp or chopped into sieves.

The generals of both sides passed by the military formation of the Western Region Allied Forces. After only one round of confrontation, Jiang Wei stabbed the general of the Western Regions off his horse with one shot!

"Although I am young, I am not in vain." Jiang Wei glanced at the Wei army general who was still staring at death, and said with a cold snort.

Then he drew out the blade, rushed straight to the central army, and chopped down the handsome flag of the Western Region Alliance Army to the ground with one knife.

It was at this time that the biggest change occurred on the Western Front battlefield. The commander-in-chief of the Western Region Allied Forces was beheaded by Jiang Wei, and the flag of the Chinese Army was chopped down to the ground by Jiang Wei.

At this moment, Jiang Wei was just like Ma Su, attacking the central army, killing generals and seizing the flag.

It was only then that Shu Ji led his troops and horses to charge out, and supported each other with Jiang Wei in the charge.

As soon as the handsome flag fell, the morale of the Western Region Allied Forces was instantly interrupted. The soldiers who were still charging desperately in front heard a commotion in the rear. When they turned around, they found that their flag was gone.

This has a huge impact on military morale!

"The coach is dead!"

"We are surrounded by Shu people!"

"The flag is gone! Run!"

For a time, the Western Region Allied Forces were in chaos, and the pressure on the front dissipated in a short time.

Ma Su was considered a veteran, and he instantly felt the changes on the front line. He was overjoyed for a moment, touched the blood on his face, and shouted excitedly without caring about his injuries.

"The Wei army is defeated! Our army has won a great victory! It's time for the soldiers to counterattack!"

With Ma Su's roar, the morale of thousands of Shu soldiers was boosted. The personal guards who had followed Ma Su for many years quickly understood and shouted together with Ma Su.

"The Wei army is defeated! Those who surrender will avoid death!"

With cavalry behind them and the Shu army attacking fiercely in front, the Western Region Allied Forces could no longer hold on.

Ma Su personally led his guards to counterattack and broke through the Western Region Allied Forces defense line. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Western Region Allied Forces collapsed!

"kill!!"

…………

At the same time that Ma Su and the Western Region Allied Forces were rushing to kill, Zhuge Liang personally led 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, leading the generals of the Shu Han Dynasty to fight against Sima Yi.

Sima Yi had about 40,000 troops, and the vanguard generals were Dai Ling, Sima Shi and others.

As Wei's regular army, its formation is obviously much stronger than that of the Western Region Allied Forces. Sima Yi divided his troops into three groups. Thousands of cavalry were waiting for the opportunity on both sides, and they pressed on the Shu army menacingly.

"Occupy the mountains of Pingyang Hill and rely on the mountains to launch military formations!" Zhuge Liang stopped the approaching Wei army with a hint of confidence in his smile. He personally got off the four-wheeled vehicle and stood in front of the central army holding the command flag.

"Array up!"

Under Zhuge Liang's flag, the Shu army quickly completed the formation change. The central army formed a circular formation, and the eight surrounding Shu troops formed a square formation. They began to move around the circular formation.

"Father! Look at Zhuge Liang!" Sima Zhao followed Sima Yi in the central army and was shocked when he saw the changes in the Shu army.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just an eight-formation diagram!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice, and then picked up the command flag and started micro-managing before the formation.

Sima Yi is also a master of formations and has knowledge of the Eight Formations.

"If Zhuge Villager only wants to use the Eight Formations as a defense, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

The Wei army infantry held shields and spears, and the semi-encirclement situation pressed up the mountain. Although Pingyang Qiu has terrain, it is not steep and cannot form a feint!

"Kill!!" Chen Shi, Gou Fu and other generals were all armed with strong weapons and led the elite of the Shu army to engage with the vanguard of the Wei army.

The infantry of the Shu army was obviously more elite than the soldiers of the Wei army, and they quickly took advantage of the terrain. However, due to their numerical disadvantage, the two sides reached a stalemate on the slopes of Pingyangqiu.

However, the phalanxes on both sides of the Wei army were also pressing upward and began to threaten the phalanxes on both sides of the Shu army. The scope of the fighting between the two sides began to expand rapidly, and began to put more pressure on the Shu army.

So far, everything is still under Sima Yi's control.

"The crossbowmen are ready!"

But at this time, Zhuge Liang waved his command flag in the middle of the army, and thousands of crossbowmen quickly appeared in front of the Wei army.

"Did the rear army send out repeating crossbowmen? What...? The rear army sent out repeating crossbowmen!" Sima Yi muttered while thinking about it, but suddenly his eyes widened and he noticed something was wrong.

The Shu army's serial crossbowmen did not appear in front of the formation, but appeared in the rear army with the highest terrain!

The archers were also looming in the phalanx on both sides, drawing their bows and arrows under the protection of the shield bearers and gunners.

"Left, shoot right! Right, shoot left!" The command flag was waved quickly, and the orders were passed on in an orderly manner.

The archers on both sides of the phalanx began to rely on the terrain and shoot in the commanded direction.

The military formation on the left shoots to the right, and the square formation on the right shoots to the left. The serial crossbowmen in the rear army's formation were condescending and shot the crossbow arrows to the Wei army's rear army very easily with a flat shot!

The Wei army, which was completely unprepared, was thrown into a commotion by this turn of events. The sudden crossbows and arrows shot down a large number of soldiers, causing confusion among the soldiers.

The soldiers in the middle army did not understand until their death how they were shot to death in such a rear position.

"Eight three-dimensional formations!" Sima Yi was well-informed, but he was completely shocked and confused by the scene in front of him.

The seemingly simple eight formations of the Shu army turned into a mysterious three-dimensional military formation on a small hill.

The serial crossbowmen who could only fire flatly in front of the formation were assigned to the rear army, and their flat firing was enough to hit the Wei army's center. The archers on both sides relied on the changes in the terrain, and their lethality increased a lot.

This is Zhuge Liang's trump card, and it is also the new military formation that Zhuge Liang has figured out over the years in order to deal with the cavalry. He placed the original three-dimensional eight-formation diagram on various mountainous terrains, relying on the ups and downs of the mountains to turn the entire military formation into a three-dimensional and all-round strike military formation.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhuge Eight Formation Diagram requires sixty-four ways of changing the formation to adapt to various terrains.

As soon as this military formation was taken out, Wei Jun's eyes were opened in an instant!
