"I have a way to break Zhuge Liang's big array, but it will take some time." Just when Han Xin and Xu Shu had no choice, Lu Bu seemed to have an idea.

"Can the lord break Zhuge Liang's formation?"

Xu Shu was a little unconvinced.

According to his understanding of Lu Bu, he would not set up a formation at all, let alone break the formation.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "I don't know how to set up a formation, and I can't break the formation, but I found Zhuge Liang's weakness." If we follow my method, we will be able to occupy the new capital in less than two days. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Shu became interested: "Tell me about it?" ”

"Listen to me."

Han Xin also said.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "His weakness is... There can be no protracted war. Think about it, the big array placed at the gate of the city, although mysterious, requires tens of thousands of Shu troops to set up the array. The number of troops in the new capital is only fifty or sixty thousand, right? How long can the soldiers stand at the gates of the city, without a substitute? One day? Two days? When they can't stand still, we will rush and kill, and we will definitely be able to break through in one fell swoop. ”

"The lord's idea is good, but it's been delayed for too long. The minister was worried that General Li Jing would not be able to hold Mianzhu Pass. Xu Shu said.

"Do you have a better way?"

"This..."

If there was a better way, Xu Shu would have said it a long time ago.

Lu Budao: "Since there is no better way, let's try as I say." Go and give orders, all the troops are camped outside the city, and they are stationed in the city tower in turn, ready to break the formation at any time. ”

"No."

The people answered.

"Yuanba, save filial piety."

"Yes."

Lu Bu turned around, looked at the two peerless murderers, and admonished, "You two, have a good rest." In two days, it's up to you whether we can break the formation or not. ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao couldn't close their mouths.

After the decision was made, everyone dispersed one after another, camped and rested. Lu Bu also retreated to the Tibetan Soldier Cave and made up for his sleep.

And during this period, Zhuge Liang didn't dare to relax. His tens of thousands of Shu troops are still standing in the city, holding the big array.

That's it, the two sides are deadlocked...

Two days later.

As Lu Bu expected, the tens of thousands of Shu troops in the city, because there were no substitute troops, it was difficult to maintain the large array.

Zhuge Liang also realized this problem and wanted to slowly withdraw the Shu army outside the city. But Wu Yunzhao took 30,000 elites, kept an eye on it, and found that the Shu army was about to enter the city, and immediately met the battle.

In two days, he defeated the forty or fifty thousand Shu troops who were preparing to return to the city.

Zhuge Liang's great array is also about to collapse.

What made Zhuge Liang most anxious was that Guan Ping led nearly 70,000 troops to attack Mianzhu, and it had been two or three days, and it had not yet been defeated. In other words, there is no way back for him!

"We waited two days. Zhuge Liang's Shu army has already lost its spirit, and it is time to counterattack. "In the cave of Tibetan soldiers, Lu Bu summoned the generals under his command to do pre-war mobilization.

"Since entering Sichuan, there have been no less than 100 large and small wars. It's been delayed for too long. In this battle, Zhuge Liang must be captured alive. As long as Zhuge Liang is caught, Yizhou is at his fingertips. ”

Lu Bu looked straight, looked at the generals on the left and right, and shouted: "Han Xin's 1st Division, as the vanguard, directly takes Zhuge Liang." All the rest of the troops, outflanked from both flanks. Be fast and surround the Shu army in the new capital. Zang Ba's 6,000 cavalry went around to Nancheng, guarded the rabbit, and if Zhuge Liang wanted to evacuate the new capital, he would be captured immediately. If he does not withdraw, he will come in from the south of the city.... ”

"In short, the key to this battle is still in Zhuge Liang. If anyone catches Zhuge Liang, the official will be promoted to the third level and the reward will be 10 million! ”

"No..."

The temptation given by Lu Bu is not small. All the generals began to gear up and swear to make their first achievements.

After half a column of incense.

Han Shin's 1st Division was ready to go into battle.

"Kill...!"

Bang bang bang...

Thousands of new troops rushed straight to Zhuge Liang's military array.

The feet of the soldiers of the Shu army were swollen, and they were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, and it was at night, which was inconvenient for them to change formations. Catching up with Han Shin's 1st Division, it was crushed at the first touch. Thousands of new troops easily broke through several blockades and approached Zhuge Liang's command platform.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that the soldiers in the formation couldn't stop Han Xin, Zhuge Liang remorsefully gave the order to withdraw the army.

This is the most wretched of all he's...

Fortunately, the large array that had been painstakingly laid out was invalid before it could be used.

The many traps and mazes outside the city have also lost their effectiveness one after another. The 30,000 troops in the north will also be in a disadvantageous situation, and will be blocked by Lu Bu in the north of the new capital.

The number of troops he can mobilize is extremely limited.

"Capture Zhuge Liang alive, capture Zhuge Liang alive...!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang left the command platform, the soldiers of the 1st Division pounced, shouting slogans excitedly, looking for Zhuge Liang's footprints around: "There!" ”

A soldier saw that Zhuge Liang was protected by a group of Shu soldiers, and stretched out his hand. All the officers and men of the 1st Division rushed over in a swarm...

But to catch up with Zhuge Liang, it is not so easy.

Because there were Shu troops blocking the way along the way. Even if they have lost their combat effectiveness, there are too many of them, and the offensive edge of the 1st Division will be somewhat delayed.

Zang Ba's cavalry soon circled to Nancheng.

All of Lu Bu's troops climbed up the ladder of the northern city and fought their way into the city. Outflanked from both wings, as previously planned.

The battle went surprisingly well...

From beginning to end, the Shu army did not have any decent resistance. The so-called mysterious formation is also useless. Especially after being attacked by the 1st Division, the whole line collapsed.

"Hahaha... Zhuge Liang was finally defeated. Lu Bu and Xu Shu also followed the troops and entered the battlefield.

In order to see the direction of Zhuge Liang's escape, he turned to Zhuge Liang's command platform.

"Zhuge Liang is there, right?" Lu Bu pointed in the direction of Nancheng.

"It must be."

Xu Shu said: "He is now in a hurry to go to Mianzhu and meet Guan Ping. I hope that General Li Jing will still stick to Mianzhu. In this case, Zhuge Liang will be captured alive by us. ”

"Li Jing doesn't have many troops on his hands. However, I heard that he had collected tens of thousands of Shu troops, and it was not difficult to hold Mianzhu. Lu Bu said comfortingly. In fact, he was very worried.

"Quickly send someone to tell Zang Ba that if you do whatever it takes, even if the whole army is wiped out, you must catch Zhuge Liang for me, if you can't live it, you can also die it." His cavalry was the fastest, and he reached Nancheng first, if he couldn't intercept Zhuge Liang, he would let him join Guan Ping, and the cavalry generals below Zang Ba would be demoted by three ranks! ”

"No."

Lu Bu and Xu Shu stood on the command platform, waiting quietly.

The battle for the new capital lasted all night.

Most of the Shu troops in the city have surrendered.

A small part followed Zhuge Liang and fled to Nancheng.

It's dawn.

Zang Ba happily ran back to the new capital city and found Lu Bu in the mansion: "The lord, the lord..." ”

"Don't talk yet, let me guess."

Seeing Zang Ba's happy face, Lu Bu was also very excited in his heart, and asked, "Did you catch Zhuge Liang?" ”
