North of the city, Cao Cao's camp.
"This Liu Qi actually challenged me and wants to fight!”
Cao Lie sneered and waved the letter of challenge.
It was Liu Qi's letter of challenge.
In the letter of challenge, Liu Qi provoked arrogantly, claiming that he would set up an array formation in front of Fan City tomorrow.
If Cao Lie had the guts, he would break the formation.
If you don't have the guts, then leave Xinye and scram back to the north.
"General Pingnan, Liu Qi wants to use this opportunity to dampen our morale!”
Cheng Yu pointed out Liu Qi's intentions.
Since ancient times, when two armies fought and were in a deadlock, there would be a battle of generals or battle formations to reduce the enemy's morale and raise the morale of their own army.
A battle of generals was a battle between generals to the death.
As for the battle formation, one side would set up the formation and the other side would send a general to break it.
Liu Qi's tens of thousands of troops were suppressed in Fan City by Cao Lie's tens of thousands of troops and did not dare to come out. They were scolded every day, and their morale was low.
He was unwilling, but he did not dare to confront them head-on, so he thought of this small trick to break the array, wanting to use it to revive their morale.
"Liu Qi's martial arts are mediocre, and no one in the Jing State is proficient in formations. How can he suddenly have such confidence?”
Wen Pin muttered to himself, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Not necessarily!"
Cao Lie sneered and couldn't help but think of someone.
Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang should have been hiding in the wild.
However, Cao Lie found out yesterday that before he snatched Huang Yueying, someone had been matchmaking for Zhuge Liang.
The Huang family had originally wanted to marry their daughter to Zhuge Liang.
The marriage was interrupted by him, and the woman he wanted to marry was taken in as his concubine. It was not impossible for Zhuge Liang to be angered and go against him.
"Zhuge Liang, if you really want to be my enemy, then don't blame me for making you lose face!”
Cao Lie's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he waved his hand and shouted,""Go back and tell Liu Qi that if he wants to fight, I will fight with him!”
The messenger rolled and crawled away from Cao Cao's camp.
"General, this formation is extremely profound. We only know a little about it. I'm afraid we won't be able to win if we break the formation tomorrow.”
Cheng Yu said with an ashamed expression.
Man Chong nodded in shame.
Even Jia Xu had no confidence in his eyes.
"I don't need you to break the array. I'll break it myself!”
Cao Lie waved his hand in a domineering and confident manner.
The strategists trembled and looked at each other secretly.
"Could it be that our General Pingnan is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also proficient in array formations?”
Everyone secretly guessed.
At this moment.
Jia Xu reminded him," General, I think we should still be on guard. That Liu Qi battle formation is just a cover. There are other surprise troops in the dark."”
"Yes, the Poison Warrior reminded me. If it was really that villager Zhuge who attacked, it wouldn't be as simple as a battle formation.”
"Wen Chou, listen up!" Cao Lie shouted.”
"I'm here!" Wen Chou stepped forward.
Cao Lie pointed to the north and shouted," I'll give you three thousand soldiers. You'll take a small path back to Xinye at night. If the enemy attacks, kill them on the spot!"”
"Here!"
Wen Chou received the order and that night, he led three thousand troops and left.
…
Fan City.
In the lobby, Liu Qi paced with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Eldest Young Master, please calm down. That Cao thief has won consecutive battles. He must be arrogant and conceited, thinking that he is invincible in the world.”
"I think he will fall into our trap and accept our battle array challenge!”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and confidently commented.
Before he finished speaking.
The messenger hurried in and cupped his hands." Young Master, Cao Lie replied that he is willing to break the formation tomorrow!"”
"Brother Kong Ming, you really have divine foresight!”
Liu Qi was overjoyed and looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration.
Zhuge Liang smiled lightly." Since Cao has fallen into his trap, tomorrow I will crush his spirit and let him know that Jingzhou is not without people!"”
Liu Qi looked towards the north, relieved.
"Cao Lie, you would never have thought that I, Liu Qi, would be defeated by me despite how arrogant you are!”
A proud sneer echoed in the hall.
…
It was noon the next day.
Cao Lie wore the Huangtian Shi Dragon Armor and was about to fight.
"Crash!"
The curtain was lifted, and a beautiful figure stepped into the tent.
"Madam, why are you here?"
Cao Lie's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and grabbed Huang Yueying's hand, pulling it gently.
Huang Yueying felt dizzy and leaned on Cao Lie's arm.
"Although I have never met Zhuge Liang, I heard that Liu Qi had invited Zhuge Liang to leave the mountain several times, but Zhuge Liang had tactfully rejected him.”
"Now that I'm your wife, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang will bear a grudge and come to Fan City to help Liu Qi.”
"I heard from Uncle Pang that this Zhuge Liang is known as the Crouching Dragon. He has a world-shaking strategy and is extremely difficult to deal with.”
"The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. I was afraid that something might happen to husband, so I rushed over from Xinye.”
Huang Yueying expressed her concern for Cao Lie in a low voice.
"It's just a Crouching Dragon!"
Cao Lie smiled disdainfully and said domineeringly,""Even if he's a true dragon that has descended to the mortal world, I, Cao Lie, will still kill him if he dares to stop my Cao family from unifying the world!”
Huang Yueying was shocked by Cao Lie's confidence. She looked up at him deeply.
"If your husband's speculation is correct, today's battle formation was set up by Zhuge Liang for Liu Qi.”
"Furen, since you're here, follow me and see how I break the formation!”
Cao Lie carried Huang Yueying out of the tent.
The lightning is ready.
Cao Lie carried Huang Yueying on the back of the horse. The two of them leaned against each other and rode out of the camp together.
The gates of the camp opened wide, and seven thousand Cao Cao soldiers rolled out of the camp.
At noon.
The Cao army solemnly got into formation, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
On the city wall.
Liu Qi was dazzled as he looked at the ever-changing formation.
"Brother Kong Ming!"
He turned around to look at Zhuge Liang and praised,"This formation of yours is really exquisite and complicated. I can't see anything at all. What kind of strange formation is this?”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said lightly,""This formation is called the Eight Trigrams Formation. It is formed by the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.”
"Eight Trigrams Formation?"
Liu Qi's eyes were filled with surprise.
"This Eight Trigrams Formation can actually change continuously. That formation gate was clearly in the north, but now it has turned to the south.”
"This formation is truly wondrous. Mister Wolong, this old man admires it!”
The old general Huang Zhong clicked his tongue in admiration.
Liu Qi was even more surprised as he looked at Zhuge Liang.
"Old General Huang has sharp eyes. That's right, this formation has a total of sixty-four transformations.”
Zhuge Liang's eyes revealed a hint of admiration, praising Huang Zhong for actually being able to see through a little.
Liu Qi was relieved and laughed." Brother Kong Ming, now I finally know how Crouching Dragon works. I want to see how Cao Lie can break this formation!"”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and smiled without saying a word. It was as if everything was under his control.
"Cao Lie has appeared!"
Shouts rang out from the city walls.
Zhuge Liang looked closely and saw Cao Cao's army split apart. A horse slowly advanced.
Cao Lie had appeared.
Furthermore, he was riding a horse with a woman.
"That brat is so arrogant. He actually brought a woman to break the array. I wonder whose girl it is.”
Liu Qi cursed angrily, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Yueying, that's my niece Yueying, Chengyan's daughter!”
Huang Zhong exclaimed.
He was a branch of the Huang Family and was Huang Chengyan's brother. He had some interactions and recognized Huang Yueying.
Zhuge Liang's body trembled, and his originally calm and confident face turned pale.
