The next day, Cao Zhen led 20,000 Tao soldiers and horses to the shore of Jishui to fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

When the Han army heard the news, they also went out of the camp to meet the enemy, set up a position along the river, the terrain on the south bank was empty, the two armies greeted each other, the flag covered the sun, the swords and guns flashed cold light, and the killing atmosphere permeated the water.

The banner of the Wei army waved in front of the formation, Cao Zhen was in the center under the handsome banner, Xiahou Ba on the left, Cao Tai on the right, and the generals were listed on the left and right.

I saw Zhuge Liang's lupine scarf, sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, gently shaking the feather fan, very chic in the autumn wind, as if the formation of the three armies, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had nothing to do with him.

Cao Zhen stepped out and shouted: "Zhuge villager, you and the others will only use intrigues and tricks, can you dare to fight a head-on battle with a certain male and female?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly: "How to fight?" ”

Cao Zhen laughed and said: "If you fight soldiers, you and I are not equal in strength, which is not fair; If you fight generals, you are a Confucian student, you will not be my opponent, Cao disdains to bully the weak; Why don't you just fight in the array? ”

"It's good!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, nodded and said: "You set up the formation first, I will see how the formation is." ”

Cao Tai was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately ordered Cao Tai to set up a formation, Cao Tai had already prepared soldiers and horses, and formed a formation in an open place, and the horse infantry in the formation was equipped with it, and the colorful flags were displayed in the wind.

There were about 3,000 people in this large array, Cao Tai stood with a sword in the center, and several personal soldiers on the left and right stood up, each holding a colorful flag in his hand.

When the formation was not good, Cao Zhen asked, "Do you know this formation?" ”

Zhuge Liang got up and stood on the four-wheeled vehicle, only to see the Wei army's formation formed a circle, spreading out layer by layer, with spearmen, swordsmen and cavalry staggered in the middle, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Cao Zhen said angrily: "Zhuge Villager, if you don't know the formation, why should you cover it up if you admit defeat earlier? ”

Zhuge Liang's feather fan pointed to the formation, and Lang smiled: "The eight flags in this formation correspond to the eight gates, which are rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open, which seem to be the gossip array, but in fact they are the eight gates golden lock array." In the past, Cao Ren put down this array, and he was already broken by Xu Yuanzhi, and you and the others actually picked up people's teeth and wisdom, wouldn't you be smiling and generous? ”

Cao Zhen's old face turned red, and he said coldly: "At that time, the formation was not complete, and Xu Shu took advantage of the loophole, since you know this formation, can you dare to break the formation?" ”

Zhuge Liang had a hesitant look on his face, shook his feather fan and replied: "Xu Yuanzhi has broken this formation, I will break it again, what is the surprise, Liang disdains it." ”

"Hahaha, you're timid?" Cao Zhen looked at Zhuge Liang's expression, and became more and more convinced that he didn't know the formation, so he was secretly proud, and laughed: "You are just a cultivator in Nanyang, you don't know the formation, and you want to command the troops, so you just deceive Liu Qi'er!" If you don't dare to break my formation, it is better to go back early, continue to cultivate the fields and study, and sell your reputation, so as not to expose your feet and ruin your reputation. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, as if he was in a dilemma, glanced at the formation again, and said: "Since you know the formation, I can also spread it, can you dare to break it?" ”

Cao Zhen actually didn't know anything about the formation, but looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, if he didn't ask him to set up the formation, he wouldn't dare to break the formation first, so he had to pin his hopes on Cao Tai, and said proudly: "What can you do, although I will see it." ”

I saw Zhuge Liang take out the yellow flag from the wooden box next to the four-wheeled vehicle, and the left and right armies moved, and the Han army also lined up in a formation, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Cao Tai.

Cao Tai came out to see it, and laughed: "This is just a gossip array, why is it strange?" ”

Cao Zhen said vigilantly: "Zhuge Liang is treacherous and resourceful, can you look carefully? ”

Cao Tai smiled confidently: "The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array evolved from the Bagua Array, how can I be mistaken?" I expected that the Zhuge village husband Qian's donkey skills were poor, and he didn't dare to break the formation, but he followed my eight golden lock formations to temporarily set up the formation, according to the cat and the tiger, and just bluffed. ”

While deliberating, Zhuge Liang asked in the car: "Do you know my formation?" ”

Cao Zhen's confidence increased greatly, and he sneered: "It's just a 'gossip array', how can I not know it?" ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "Since you know this formation, do you dare to break my formation?" ”

Cao Zhen glanced back at Cao Tai, saw him nodding secretly, and laughed: "If you know something, why don't you dare to fight?" But if I break the battle, you will also come and break my formation. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "A word is a certainty." ”

Cao Zhen returned to the formation and said to Cao Taiyan: "If you don't break his formation first, Zhuge will not dare to enter the formation, are you sure?" ”

Cao Tai said with a smile: "The array laid by Zhuge Liang is also based on the eight doors of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, but it is not as complicated and changeable as my eight-door golden lock array, only three generals are needed, from the east of the door to enter, to the southwest of the door to kill, and then from the north to open the door to kill, this array can be broken!" ”

Cao Zhen was overjoyed, and instructed Xiahou Ba and Wang Ling: "The two generals will go with General Cao to break the formation, if the enemy army is in chaos, a certain self-leading army will directly take Zhuge Liang and capture this villager." The rise of Wei should be the beginning of our defeat today! ”

Wang Ling also saw that Zhuge Liang didn't understand the formation, and the confidence of the three of them increased greatly, and they immediately led their men and horses, followed Cao Tai, and entered the enemy formation from Shengmen.

The drums of the two armies sounded loudly in front of the formation, and the soldiers shouted and cheered. Cao Zhen secretly clenched his blade on the horse, stared at the situation in the formation, and glanced at Zhuge Liang on the four-wheeled vehicle from time to time, wanting to capture him in one fell swoop.

Cao Tai rode into the battle, when he first encountered a general to block the way, urging the horse to fight, more than ten times, the man retreated to the left, Cao Tai did not chase, went straight to the southwest, suddenly countless arrows rained in front of him, and the soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

Cao Tai swung his troops to the left to kill, and at this time, Xiahou Ba and Wang Ling behind him were separated by an army, and unconsciously, the Wei army was divided into three divisions, each fighting separately.

Cao Tai was full of confidence, and he identified the direction and went out to Xiumen, although there were generals and archers in front of him, but they all turned in formation, and soon let go of the way, and walked straight forward.

According to the time, it should have been out of the battle, but the figures in front of him seemed to be endless, and I couldn't help but be secretly frightened in my heart, the sand and dust in the formation were flying, and I don't know when a layer of mist actually rose, and the whole battlefield became foggy.

Cao Tai hurriedly went forward to kill, and saw that the clouds and mist in the array, countless Han troops blocked the way, no matter how he rushed to kill, but he never came out of the door, and he killed for a while, and even the portal lost its direction.

Xiahou Ba and Wang Ling didn't understand the formation, they only remembered the direction to rush and kill, and they couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south in the formation, so they could only rush and kill indiscriminately, only killing their arms sore, sweating, but they couldn't clash out.

Knock Knock Knock –

The battle drums in front of the battle were like thunder, but the drumbeat of the Han army changed again, and the formation changed with the drums, turning like a grinding plate, constantly dividing and encroaching on the Wei army entering the battle, and many soldiers looked around in a daze, disappearing into the chaos like beans.

"This ......" Cao Zhen was taken aback, Cao Tai and the three of them entered the battle for a long time, and they sank into the sea like stones and disappeared.

Turning his head to look again, he saw that Zhuge Liang was already sitting on the four-wheeled vehicle, shaking the feather fan gently, smiling, and looking like he was in his chest, not at all like the nervous doubts that he didn't understand the formation.

Cao Zhen's eyes couldn't help but shrink for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that Zhuge Villager's plan again?" ”
