Chapter 190: Cao Cao is trapped
The Shu army, which could still be seen, was lost in a blink of an eye.
At the forefront is Cao Ren. At this time, what appeared in front of Cao Ren was that there were two forks in the road. Cao Ren listened intently and heard that the Shu army was in the valley next to him.
"This way!" Cao Ren shouted and immediately chased after the intersection on the right.
However, chasing and chasing, another fork in the road appeared.
"This way!" Cao Ren heard the movement of the Shu army and continued to divert the pursuit.
However, chasing and chasing, the voice of the Shu army was becoming less and less audible.
And soon, Cao Ren entered a dead end.
The road was sealed. Or rather, it was originally a Jedi.
Damn it!
In desperation, Cao Ren had no choice but to return with his troops and continue to look for a way out.
However, at this time, the army could no longer find the right way.
Basically, each fork in the road is not much different, and it has not been marked before, which is not recognizable at all.
And Cao Ren also discovered a situation, the army is out of touch.
Although sometimes I hear that someone is in the valley not far from the next door, but I want to meet, but I can't.
Soon, Cao Cao's nearly 100,000 troops all entered Zhuge Liang's array.
The scouts on top of the airship saw the army wandering around the valley and finally realized that something was wrong.
However, even if there was a telegraph, it was still slow.
And the scouts can't give more specific command on the ground, because they don't understand it.
And the telegram can only send text, nothing else at all.
More advanced walkie-talkies have only just been developed, and they have not yet been equipped with the original Western Expeditionary Army.
The army led by Cao Cao was completely entered into the urn.
In their opinion, they are nothing more than crossing the valley.
Having seen countless terrains, such a valley is not unusual.
However, they can't get around this big circle.
Soon, almost everyone realized that something was wrong. And this panic is even more desperate to find a way out.
But running around, except for being tired and panting, I couldn't find my way at all.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Cao Cao finally became anxious: "Quickly ask the aerial scouts what the hell is going on?" β
However, what can the scouts do, it can only be said that Cao Cao has entered an inexplicable maze.
Although they could reconnoiter the ground in the air, they could only see a rough idea, and they didn't know how to guide Cao Cao out of battle at all.
And Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Bu had an airship to investigate, so how could he not do something to deal with it.
Many key places have been covered with vegetation.
Therefore, even a person who understands the formation cannot easily break through his maze.
And this gossip array only has two mouths.
One out and one in, and the rest, it's all valley terrain.
As Cao Cao's army entered the battle, a thousand Shu soldiers who were originally hidden in the cave immediately blocked the entrance.
At the same time, after the horse overruns, the exit is also blocked.
In other words, even if Cao Cao had a 1 in 1,000 chance of finding the right entrance, they would not be able to get out at all.
Finally, as it got dark, Cao Cao had to order to camp first.
Moreover, the soldiers and horses that Cao Cao can command now are actually only one or two thousand.
The rest of the army was basically divided into several small armies.
Although they shouted in unison, they could even hear the voices of friendly troops not far away, but they just couldn't meet.
This fear of the unknown can't help but spread.
The next day, Cao Cao and his generals ran for another whole day.
All kinds of markings, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of communication with the air were not able to come out of the big array.
Even the entrance and exit are blocked, how can you get out.
One army even passed through the exit where the horses had passed, but it went back around.
Because the terrain is similar, people use rocks to block it, which is not visible at all.
And Ma Chao did not go far, but set up camp on the periphery of the exit, and he wanted to watch Cao Cao's 100,000 army starve to death.
At that time, it is not a great achievement to cut off the heads of Cao Cao and a group of civil and military generals.
Of course, the news of Cao Cao's death was also immediately reported to Liu Bei.
And Cao Cao ran for another day, and finally determined that he couldn't get out, so he had to hurriedly send an urgent report to Lu Bu for help.
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You and others are all shaking their heads and spreading their hands, what else can they do?
If they were to observe in the airship, they might be able to observe a thing or two.
But in the middle of the formation, they couldn't do anything at all.
The urgent report reached Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was not shocked.
100,000 iron horsemen, all of them were trapped.
And according to the telegram, it was a complete maze.
What's more serious is that Cao Cao's army traveled lightly, and this was trapped, and the follow-up supply of grain and grass was a big problem.
Within his own territory, Cao Cao can be replenished at any time.
This has gone to Yizhou, where is there any supplemental point.
At this time, Lu Bu had to speculate on what kind of big array this was based on historical experience.
Zhuge Liang is most famous, and it seems to be the Eight Array Diagram.
The Eight Array Diagram is ever-changing, and many different Bagua Arrays can be derived.
According to the news, Cao Cao and the others should have been trapped in some kind of labyrinth-like terrain.
But Zitong is thousands of miles away from Huaguo, and even if it passes from the nearest Tianshui, it will take several months.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Bu immediately issued several orders.
First of all, immediately organize airships from all over the country to airdrop relief materials to Cao Cao as quickly as possible.
Again, it is naturally a message to Cao Cao, teaching him how to save himself.
Only when people live first can Lu Bu think of other ways to save them.
Fortunately, there is also a wireless telegraph that can communicate, and if you can't even receive a telegraph signal, it will be miserable.
In fact, Lu Bu was able to receive Cao Cao's distress letter here, and it was also a signal that an airship flew for most of the day.
And if it weren't for the air, it would have been even more difficult.
After all, in the Yizhou territory, it is impossible for Lu Bu to have a transfer station.
After several transfers, Cao Cao finally got a reply from Lu Bu here.
The first is to tell them that he has learned about the situation of the people, and he will find a way to rescue them.
As a matter of urgency, Cao Cao immediately organized the people to dig wells.
Dry food and other supplies can be airdropped, but there is no way to use water. If the well is not dug up, all the people will die of thirst.
The next thing is to appease the army and wait for his rescue.
Fortunately, the airship is also able to drop small notes at will.
Although the army was divided, each legion received a message from LΓΌ Bu.
In this way, the morale of the army was immediately stabilized.
Lu Bu is synonymous with invincibility, he said that if he can save it, he can naturally save it.
Moreover, the airship was hovering in the air all the time, and everyone could see it if they looked up.
The airship, just like the needle of the sea god, makes everyone's hearts not panic.
Then, as long as everyone guarantees that there is no chaos, they can save themselves first.
Digging a well, naturally, is not difficult.
Even if you don't have a hoe, you still have knives, guns, halberds and spears.
As a last resort, they will never kill horses to satisfy their hunger.
The sergeant's love for war horses is completely comparable to his wife.
And Lu Bu also gathered his ministers to discuss how to rescue Cao Cao.
At this moment, the ministers were all shocked.
100,000 iron horsemen were trapped and killed, and the loss to China was immeasurable.
You must know that almost all of these 100,000 iron horsemen are Han Chinese. If he dies, I am afraid that the whole country of China will be shaken.
And if Cao Cao Group does not oppose it, it is completely an important pillar of Huaguo. Once it falls, it will be a huge trauma for China.
However, thousands of miles away, and the roads in Yizhou are so difficult to travel, it will take at least three months to organize a large army to rescue.
And this is still based on the fact that there is a railway that can go directly to Tianshui, otherwise, don't think about saving it for a year.
In addition, the cost is also incalculable.
But apart from this method, people can't think of a better solution.
Finally, Lu Bu, who had been pondering a lot, exhaled and said, "I have a bold idea, what do you think?" β
