"What? The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu army are rushing towards us? How is this possible? Isn't this odd array already over? Where did the enemy forces come from? No...... It's not necessarily that we're getting it wrong, but if we think about it, is there something we haven't solved yet? Zhao Yuyu said in a panic.

"Damn, there must be some outlet, it can't be like this. We must have forgotten something. Cui Li also couldn't believe the facts in front of him.

Although we were victorious, there was no door to leave or a return to the AEF Research Center in front of us, all that was told us was the fact that we were still in the Odd Formation.

It seems that the "mystery man" is right, we have not left this strange array, but what is going on? Isn't there a way to get out of here? Battle of the Three Generals! That's right, the battle of the three generals! I suddenly remembered what Mr. Ouyang Yu said:

Once upon a time, there was a general who led a large army to press in, passing through a city, and after a few days of fighting, the defenders of the city could no longer afford to continue to defend the city. In fact, he could have fled the city, but he didn't, and still led the remnants of his old army to stand on the tower. Its heroic spirit shocks the Quartet...

So that's it! I always thought that the general guarding the city was the enemy general Lu Xun, but in fact it was the opposite, the general who guarded the city was us. This is the puzzle that Mr. Ouyang Yu left us at the beginning.

In other words, as long as we defend this Yiling Pass, we will be able to truly unravel this strange array.

"Cheng Yin, you have something to say, what are we going to do?"

"Like, how is this different from what is promised? Didn't you say that as long as we captured Yiling Pass, we could leave here? But now that we've succeeded, we're still here, why is that? ”

Everyone began to talk about it, and everyone's mind was full of their own questions.

"We were wrong, we were all wrong. We always thought that this strange array had never given us any hints, but in fact, we already knew how to get out of this place before we entered this strange formation. ”

"Cheng Yin, you didn't wake up, did you? Where did we tell us how to get out of here when we entered the Odd Formation? You may not have found the instruction manual for this odd array? Zhao Yuyu said suspiciously.

"It's a conversation." I said in a deep voice, "Actually, Mr. Ouyang Yu told us the answer to this strange array a long time ago. The battle of the three generals, this is how to leave. ”

"The battle of the three generals? Cheng Yin, what the hell is going on? Why do you say that the more confused I become? What does this have to do with the battle of the three generals? Cui Li asked inexplicably.

"Cui Li, do you remember the book I saw when I was in the palace?"

"yes, but so what? Isn't this book only halfway written? Cui Li still asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's true that the book is only halfway through, but have you ever wondered why? In fact, this book has no ending at all. ”

"I didn't ...... No ending? Cheng Yin, the more you really talk about me, the more confused I become. You...... You won't be ...... What, what kind of sci-fi is too much, right? ”

"Cui Li, this is not science fiction, this is real. The reason why this battle of the three generals has no ending is precisely because it requires us to create an ending. ”

"You mean us?" Cui Li asked in shock, "You're not kidding, are you?" We're the general who guarded the town? Cui Li didn't seem to believe even a word he said.

"Yes, Cheng Yin, what does this mean? We tried our best to capture Yiling Pass, but in the end, we had to defend this Yiling Pass? This...... It's incredible! The city gates have been damaged, how can they be guarded? Zhao Yuyu tried her best to refute, how much she wanted to prove that my point of view was wrong, but the facts are the facts, no matter how you refute them, no matter how you question them, they will not change.

"I know that none of you can believe what I am saying right now, and you are even beginning to fantasize about whether a gate will suddenly appear in front of you and take all of us out of here. Seriously, if it could be like that, I'd choose to believe it. But reality is reality, the enemy's army of 50,000 is coming towards us, we have no time to study who is right and who is wrong, there is an indisputable fact in front of us, this door that should have been opened to us has not been opened. If we act now, our fate is still in our hands, but if we hesitate for a moment, none of us will be able to leave here. You can wait here for the unknown door to open to you, but I believe that my fate is only in my own hands. "I said such a long sentence in one sitting, and I didn't expect to convince them, but I just wanted to say everything. At this point, I was relieved.

"Cheng Yin, is what you said true?" Xia Cheng asked solemnly.

"Of course, there's no time for jokes right now."

Xia Cheng didn't speak, just hesitated for a moment. Then he said in a firmer tone than I did, "Then why are we still wasting time here?" ”

I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of encouragement.

"Also...... Also, it's better than ...... Silly standing here strong. Cui Li awkwardly agreed. We should believe in Cheng Yin, at least so far, the reason why we are able to stand here and quarrel is due to Cheng Yin, so we should trust his judgment. ”

"Okay, I admit that I was a little excited before, since everyone thinks that they should believe in Cheng Yin, then I have no objection." Zhao Yuyu nodded.

"Now that we've all made our decision, we should plan how to stop the 50,000 army coming towards us."

"General Wu Ban, how are the casualties of our army this time?" I asked out loud to Wu Ban, who was standing in the crowd.

Wu Ban stood up from the crowd and said to me, "Return to the general, although we captured Yiling Pass this time, we were blocked by the Wu army before, and the casualties were very large. It is estimated that there are only more than 10,000 soldiers who can still participate in the war today. ”

"More than 10,000 people? But...... The walls of this Yiling Pass have been damaged, don't we have to pay one to five, how is this possible? Cui Li asked loudly, this battle is bound to be less and more battles. It doesn't seem to be so easy for us to test this last time.
