Chapter 117 Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation!
"Speaking of pale faces, you, Lü Fengxian, are also quite pale. Could it be that you are also a silver wax spear head, good-looking but useless?" Liu Bei did not care about Lü Bu's ridicule, and said calmly: "Besides, Ji Hao is also quite handsome, right?"

After hearing this, Ji Hao, who was watching the battle from a distance, was no longer sleepy.

He turned to Zhou Cang and said, "Liu Bei, you only speak the truth."

Zhou Cang heard: "..."

Although Ji Hao was telling the truth, he still felt that something was wrong.

I just don’t know what’s wrong.

"Zilong is not ugly either. Han Sheng must have been very handsome when he was young!" Lü Bu said with a smile, "It seems that among the peerless warriors, there is no one who is not handsome. I take back what I said before."

But then he spoke again.

"But top-level generals are all eight feet tall (including boots and hair bun), and you, a pale-faced young general, may not even be seven feet tall. You don't ride a horse but a four-wheeled vehicle. You look so frail!"

He really felt it was a bit funny.

On the one hand, his impression of fighting a war has always been that of "military generals leading the troops", and he has no idea of ​​the way of fighting with counselors sitting firmly in the army.

I thought Zhuge Liang was also a military general.

Judging from the standards of a military general, he is truly unqualified.

On the other hand, although Zhuge Liang was a rookie, he was very stylish: wearing a silk scarf, a feather fan, and sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, he looked like some important figure, which was quite funny.

Liu Bei always stood on horseback, but Zhuge Liang sat, which was quite awkward.

However, he did not know that on the one hand, Liu Bei was respectful to talented people, and on the other hand, there was nothing he could do: Zhuge Liang's horsemanship was average, and riding a horse was not conducive to command. It would be more suitable for fighting for him to sit on a four-wheeled cart and let his subordinates push it.

Furthermore, if viewed from the perspective of a "strategist", Zhuge Liang's style is actually very normal.

In the future, won’t a certain Sima the old thief be obsessed with his four-wheeled vehicle?

That's the style.

"Haha..." Zhuge Liang suddenly burst into laughter.

This caused Lu Bu to look sideways and ask in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Lü Bu among men, he is just a name for nothing, a mere idiot!" Zhuge Liang took over the topic and said, "In ancient times, there was Jiang Taigong, who was very old, but he still founded the Zhou Dynasty and destroyed the Zhou Dynasty. Later, there was Sun Bin, who had disabled legs, but he still defeated Pang Juan. And there were Guan Zhong, Yue Yi, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang, who were not weak scholars?"

Having said this, he paused and spoke again.

He said with great certainty: "If Han Xin can defeat the Overlord, I can defeat you, Lu Bu!"

These words left Lu Bu confused.

His face turned red immediately, and he said angrily: "How dare you compare yourself to Han Xin, you bastard? Then I, Lu Bu, will go and see where you get the confidence from!"

After saying that, he directly ordered his troops to rush towards Zhuge Liang.

Yes, that's right, just start fighting.

There was no hesitation, no strategy, he just led his army to attack directly - after all, there were only a few clever strategies, and in most wars, they still had to be fought head-on.

And now, Lu Bu, who leads an army of 800,000, thinks he is no weaker than anyone else.

Even if it was Yuan Shao at his peak, he dared to fight him.

To deal with Liu Bei, who had only 200,000 troops, the danger line of "three times" had been exceeded, and there was no need to worry anymore.

After all, Zhuge Liang did not hold the fortified city.

He just pulled the troops out directly.

"Then come on! I have set up a 'Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation', waiting for you to come and die!" Zhuge Liang said, waving his feather fan, and shield soldiers blocked him.

The army quickly formed a battle line and confronted Lu Bu head-on.

This left all the spectators, including Sima Yi and Zhou Yu, looking confused.

I really don't understand where Zhuge Liang got the confidence from.

"It's more than three times our number. Facing the enemy head on is like hitting a rock with an egg. What on earth is Zhuge Kongming thinking?" Sun Ce said with a frown.

In response, Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I can't see through it. If it were me, I would have to pull Lubula into the river first. Only by fighting a naval battle can I have a chance of winning!"

Only Pang Tong.

As soon as Zhuge Liang's Bagua formation was activated, he actually moved towards Ji Hao's direction.

The ugly face and the small steps look quite incongruous.

But Ji Hao became interested, and he told Zhou Cang, "Don't leave when he comes. If things get chaotic, tie him up, gag him, and take him back to the camp." After saying that, he was still a little worried, so he said, "Arrange a group of soldiers, gag their ears, and do nothing from now on, just keep an eye on Pang Tong."

Zhou Cang heard: "..."

Is it worth it?
What he didn't know was that Ji Hao knew too many cases of "Jedi comebacks". When he was in the position of the "big villain", he believed in never talking too much and being as stable as possible.

Don’t give Pang Tong a chance to fool you!
"Just do it." Ji Hao said.

At the same time, on the other side, Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang had already started fighting.

Lu Bu was actually not unfamiliar with the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation. It had another name, called the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, also known as the Nine-Child Chain Formation, the Yellow River Nine-Bend Formation, etc. It was a general term for a type of formation arranged in nine palaces.

Gather all arms and deploy them.

Apart from the "ambush from all sides" that no one understands, this is the ultimate in deploying troops.

Lu Bu can also make arrangements.

"You are just a rookie who only knows how to talk about war on paper. Does he think he is invincible just because he has learned the Nine Palace Formation?" Lu Bu sneered in his heart. According to his understanding of the formation, he charged in from the "Jingmen" and headed straight for Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled carriage.

Why is the peerless warrior so powerful?
Just rely on charging into the enemy line and seizing the general position!
A top-level general must be proficient in breaking the formation no matter how it is deployed.

Although Lu Bu was not as good as Ji Hao and Zhao Yun in this respect, he called himself the "fourth", and no one in the world dared to claim to be the third.

"kill!"

The Fang Tian Huaji was swung, knocking a soldier away.

It looked like the army had already rushed into the battle formation.

The enemy seemed to offer no resistance, and the 800,000-strong army charged all the way in, all in great order - in this situation, victory was almost achieved.

The enemy's defenses have been broken, what else is there to fight for?
"Liu Bei is confused!"

Thinking in his mind, Lu Bu rushed into the "General's Platform" and headed straight for the General's flag.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he actually went in, he didn't see Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled vehicle, but a big "Shock" flag.
I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Another surprise?"

At the same time, things behind me changed.

The "Jing Gate" where he came from suddenly became the "Si Gate", and in addition to the eight gates' flags of "Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Si, Jing, Shang, Du, Jing", there were two more flags of "Cloud" and "Wind".

In this way, Lu Bu will be unable to be defeated.

"In addition to the eight gates and the commander's flag, the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation also has a cloud formation and a wind formation?"

He couldn't understand.

But even so, he was still not afraid.

We have an army of 800,000, while the enemy has only 200,000, so we have an overwhelming force.

Therefore, he no longer cared about the formation and started attacking the "Jingmen", wanting to cut down one of the general's flags first.

But when he moved forward, the other party retreated.

Horse hooves stirred up yellow sand, creating billowing dust.

In the blur, Lu Bu looked from afar and saw large armies everywhere, but when he led his troops to attack, he could never see the enemy. Instead, there were often enemies attacking from behind.

But when he turned around, the enemy disappeared without a trace.

At this point, his expression changed completely.

"What's happening here?"

On the other side, Pang Tong, who was close to Ji Hao's guards and regarded him as a retreat route for Lu Bu after his defeat, said to Zhou Cang who was standing like a wooden stake beside him: "That's not the Bagua formation, that's the 'Eight Formation Diagram', a self-created formation like the special magic weapon for generals! Zhuge Liang used it to the extreme, and had already 'combined man and formation', which is equivalent to the 'unparalleled' among counselors!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to wait for Zhou Cang, who didn't know how impressive he was, to express his admiration.

But after waiting for a long time, I found that the other party did not respond.

I took a closer look with confusion and was instantly stunned: I saw that the soldier's helmet was stuffed with cotton cloth, which blocked his ears tightly and he could not hear any sound at all.

What he said before was more embarrassing than playing the lute to a cow.

At least cows have hearing.

Finally, Pang Tong's face flushed red as he angrily shouted, "He is not a human being, but a dog!"
