Chapter 977: Breaking the Eight Formations
Before Tongguan, it has been a long time since I saw the sword soldiers, but at this time, it was the flags covering the sun and the drums and trumpets, Lu Peng's 150,000 troops gathered, the military power was incomparably prominent, and Zhuge Liang, who was sitting at the head of Tongguan City, frowned.
Although he occupies the world's fame, he can't rely on it at all. The reason for this is that the embarrassment is that Tongguan is facing the outside rather than the inside, and now Lu Peng is killing from the inside, which is almost equivalent to no danger to defend, since there is no advantage of terrain, the two sides can only fight, but now Zhuge Liang has only 50,000 horses in his hands, and the military heart is floating, the old and the young are uneven, and Lu Peng, who is a strong soldier outside, is fundamentally different.
After pondering and pondering, Zhuge Liang condensed his life's work into eight formations, and carried out the construction outside Tongguan City day and night, and when Lu Peng's army came, the eight formations had ended, just blocking Lu Peng's army.
When Lu Peng arrived with people, he suddenly felt a murderous aura in front of him, and he was puzzled at that time, so he looked back at the generals and said: "I see that the front is murderous, the smoke is filled, there must be an ambush in front, and the three armies must not enter lightly." "That is, retreat more than ten miles, and form a formation in an open place to resist the enemy's army; That is, he sent the Jinyi guard to visit him. After a while, the Jinyi guard who went to visit came back and reported: "Long live Qiyu, there is no enemy ambush ahead, there are piles of stones in the east and west, and there is a forest in the east and a forest in the west, and there is nothing else." ”
"It can't be." Lu Peng shook his head firmly: "With my many years of experience in fighting and fighting, I am very sensitive to murderous aura and danger, and there must be an ambush ahead." Then he didn't wait for the brocade guard to say more, he carried the war horse and watched it in person, and sure enough, he saw that there were only stone piles and forests in front of him, and there were no soldiers and horses at all, but when he looked at it like this, among those woods and stone piles, there were bursts of fierce murderous aura, which erupted again, making Lu Peng couldn't help but be frightened, and was in doubt, but Tian Feng beside him said worriedly: "This is the eight array diagram that Zhuge Liang relied on to become famous. ”
Lu Peng didn't believe in this ghost and god theory at all, and after observing it carefully for a while, he said with a smile: "This is just a trick, using the chaotic situation of trees and stones, making people have visual deviations, and then with the help of the wind to travel and whistle in the middle, there is the current state." ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden strong wind in the eight arrays, and in an instant, the sand flew away and the rocks covered the sky. But when I saw strange stones, I saw them like swords; The horizontal sand stands on the soil, overlapping like the sound of the mountain wind, like the sound of swords and drums.
Tian Feng introduced: "This array repeats eight gates, according to Dunjia, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening. Every hour of the day, the changes are gratuitous, comparable to 100,000 elite soldiers. I think we're in trouble this time. ”
While the two of them were talking to each other, a young boy in Tsing Yi walked out of the big array, holding a cloth scroll in his hand, and looked up at Lu Peng: "Are you Lu Peng, the puppet emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Lu Peng smiled indifferently: "You are the scholar next to Zhuge Liang." ”
"It's the villain." The scholar replied calmly.
Lu Peng sighed to Xu Jie and Tian Feng: "Zhuge Liang is really a capable person, a scholar by his side, he has the style of Confucianism, and in the face of my thousands of troops, he is so calm and calm, but it is a pity that he is in the wrong position." ”
Xu Jie pouted: "If you don't conform to the times, you always go against the sky, and in the end you can only bring about your own destruction." ”
The boy didn't care about their theory, and held up the cloth scroll in his hand high: "My military advisor said, the two countries are fighting, the suffering is only the people, the injury is only the soldiers, in order to avoid the people and soldiers from being miserable, I deliberately set up this gossip array, I want to make a bet with you, if you can break this big array within 10 days, my prime minister will lead the army to surrender, and if within 10 days, the general can not crack, please withdraw from Guanzhong, and swear never to invade the Han, I don't know if the general dares to respond to the agreement." ”
Lu Peng laughed, ignoring the dissuasion of Tian Feng and Xu Jie, and directly took the cloth scroll: "Ten days is too long, three days will be done, you go back and tell your military division, I hope he can get as promised after three days." ”
Making such a bold statement made Tian Feng stomp his feet, and he had the urge to beat him again.
Because he really knows the power of the Eight Array Diagram, and at the same time, everyone here, there is indeed no one who can crack the ability of this thing, and his emperor agreed so easily, once he can't crack it, he should return the Guanzhong region to Zhuge Liang, otherwise he will lose his trust in the world.
Now Lu Peng is not the original little school captain, he takes regret as food, now he is the dignified emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he must pay attention to his own image, so casually agreeing, it is equivalent to gambling himself to death, this is to bet on the unification war of the entire Tang Dynasty.
As a result, Lu Peng didn't think so, and directly drove his horse back to the camp.
In this morning, Zhuge Liang sat at the head of the city, watching how Lu Peng broke the formation, he had absolute confidence in his gossip array, as long as he could force Lu Peng back, he could calmly arrange again, and he could gather the people's hearts again. Everything will have another chance.
Lu Peng began to go out of the formation, but he did not send troops into the Bagua Array, but erected a dense catapult outside the town, as dense as a forest.
With an earth-shattering whistling sound, one stone bomb after another flew up in Lu Peng's catapult position, smashing into the gossip array that Zhuge Liang had worked so hard to arrange. For a while, the stone bombs were flying and dusty, and the dense stones smashed the stone piles carefully arranged by Zhuge Liang into powder in the blink of an eye, and smashed into a flat ground in the blink of an eye.
As the stone pile was knocked down, Lu Peng's catapult array roared again, one after another fire oil bombs flew in the air, smashing into the deliberately arranged woods in the gossip array, the fire oil bombs were ignited, coal tar flew in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, one after another carefully arranged woods ignited into a sea of fire, and in the blink of an eye, the so-called gossip array was shrouded in a fireworks.
Lu Peng sat on the war horse, and proudly said to the two people beside him: "It's just a bunch of stone forests, using a certain form of furnishings, and then making people have a visual error, why should I take people to rush in, what rebirth door in and out of the door of death, it's too troublesome, I just bulldoze it directly, then this so-called gossip array will not exist, this is so convenient, I will solve it in three days, three hours, I see what else he Zhuge Liang has to say." ”
When the first batch of stone bullets flew, Zhuge Liang's face became pale, he knew that his gossip array was over, and Lu Peng happened to hit his life, and he didn't play cards according to common sense at all.
And at this time, a henchman hurriedly walked up to the city and whispered in Zhuge Liang's ear: "The queen Liu Chan has surrendered Gao Gan in Luoyang." ”
This shocking news did not make Zhuge Liang fluctuate, sat quietly for a long time, and finally sighed, stood up, looked at the large array of fireworks flying in front of him, glanced at the boundless Loess Plateau, and after taking a last look at the rivers and mountains he was fighting for, and then took two apprentices, with big sleeves fluttering, and went away in a dashing manner, and never fell again.
