Chapter 622: Bagua Formation
The masters fight, only one step away from winning.
The three barbarians surrounding Ma Chao had their internal energy leaving their bodies. After feeling the pressure that seemed like their natural enemy, they lost consciousness for a moment.
And that very moment had sentenced them to death.
"Die!"
Ma Chao roared, and swung the spear in his hand, directly blowing up the heads of the two people whose internal energy had left their bodies.
Only Bu Chenyi, who was seriously injured and at the back, managed to escape.
After surviving the disaster, he fled outside in a panic without caring about anything.
It was not until he returned to where the leaders had gathered that he came to his senses.
"Damn it, let everyone open the passage and let them go!" Bu Chenyi shouted hysterically.
"Bu Chenyi, you are crazy. If we let them go now, what's the meaning of their sacrifice just now!" The leader of the Western Xianbei tribe glared at him.
"Let them go, and we will reorganize our formation. We are cavalry, and charging is our advantage. If we continue to fight like this, we will waste our lives in vain!"
After surviving the disaster, Bu Chenyi became a lot smarter and instantly found the fatal flaw of Ma Chao's army.
That is because their mobility is too poor. As long as they take the initiative to avoid, reorganize their formation, and continuously launch charges and attacks, it won't take a few times before Ma Chao's team will be defeated by the continuous charges.
The other leaders looked at each other and felt that what Bu Chenyi said made sense, and they also felt a little sad about the loss.
Up to now, at least 10,000 people have been killed or injured. It is really not a good idea to continue fighting like this.
At this time, Ma Chao decided to break out. The continuous appearance of internal energy leaving the body put him under a lot of pressure. If there were a few more, he might die in this place today.
Compared with the Qiang people, the rebellious nature of these Hu people is even more serious.
Otherwise, it would not have become what it is now. A mere Hu man actually possesses so much internal energy. Even without the talent of the legion, this power is still worthy of attention.
"It's time to break out. The task of attracting hatred has been completed. Now it all depends on luck!" Although Ma Chao was not standing at the highest point and could not see the situation of the entire army, he was familiar with the situation.
He knew that after fighting for so long, their position had basically not moved far. On the contrary, they lost a large number of soldiers due to the continuous fighting.
Although he could kill hundreds of the enemy soldiers every time, Ma Chao's side would also lose dozens or even a hundred soldiers.
Moreover, as they charged forward, Ma Chao's soldiers were losing physical strength and energy, and their combat capabilities were declining.
However, due to their large numbers and mutual rotation, the Hu people were able to maintain a relatively intact state.
Every time Ma Chao and his men launched an attack that seemed to be successful, they were resisted by the enemy's huge number of soldiers. Even though they were suppressed by the divine power and were afraid to fight, they still suffered a lot of casualties.
If the attack continues, Ma Chao and his men will definitely be dragged to death.
At that time, not only will the task of luring the enemy fail, but it may even lead to the awakening of the Xianbei will.
This is also the reason why Ma Chao immediately activated his talent, killed two opponents, and then decided to break out quickly.
But before Ma Chao could activate the backup plan left by Zhuge Liang and his men, the surrounding Hu people retreated like the tide.
Ma Chao seized the opportunity and quickly led his troops to break out.
"You let me go and plan to reorganize your formation? The Hu people have actually learned to use their brains."
Ma Chao, who led his troops out of the encirclement, was a little solemn. He basically guessed the purpose of the Hu people, but he had no way to stop them now.
All he could do was to adjust the cloud properties again, transferring all of the cloud bonuses to speed and endurance.
"However, the Hu people are Hu people. They can only see the present and not the future!" Ma Chao sneered.
His basic goal this time has been achieved, and the next step is to lead these Hu people into the encirclement.
"The losses are within expectations. As long as we keep on charging, victory will be within our grasp!" Ma Chao roughly counted the legions under his command.
Then he simply turned off his legion talent. Since he had already broken out of the siege, why should he continue wasting his energy?
The most important thing now is to conserve your strength and run for your life.
Although the soldiers behind him were exhausted, they still followed Ma Chao's orders and tried their best to retreat to the south with Ma Chao.
They all knew that their mission was to lure the enemy, and now that they had accomplished that mission, the next test would be their speed and endurance.
After simply adjusting the troops into a spearhead formation and increasing the speed of their movement, Ma Chao did not take any other action.
People kept falling behind during the process, but no one stopped.
This is war, cruel and ruthless. Even if there is a general victory, death and sacrifice are inevitable.
In just half an hour, Ma Chao felt the vibration behind him.
He knew that the pursuers had arrived, but he didn't care. He had already sensed that he was only a few miles away from the mark coordinates given by Zhuge Liang.
In other words, he is safe now and has successfully completed his mission as a bait.
Although he didn't see any troops within his sight, he still felt a sense of security for no reason.
"I have entered the encirclement? But why can't I find their traces?!"
After arriving at the designated location, Ma Chao was confused and even felt like Zhuge Liang was playing a trick on him.
However, he immediately threw this idea out of his mind. He had to consider the Buddha's face. If Zhuge Liang killed him, he would definitely not feel good. Only a fool would do such a thing.
"Is this the power that the counselors hold? It's really terrifying!"
Ma Chao was a little serious. His intuition told him that Zhuge Liang and his men were nearby, but no matter how he observed, he could not find any clues.
As a general, he certainly knew how terrible this was.
Except for those like Zhao Yun, who have a built-in calmness buff.
After encountering such an ambush, other troops would probably be caught off guard and might even fall into brief chaos.
He felt that he needed to find a helper like this for himself. He didn't feel anything when Liu Hua was around.
After intuitively feeling Zhuge Liang's ability this time, Ma Chao wondered whether he should also find an external brain to assist him.
Just like Sun Ce, he was as reckless and brainless as him, but with Zhou Yu's assistance he was able to thrive.
"General, shouldn't we keep running?" Ma Chao's soldiers were a little impatient.
Watching a large group of cavalry rushing towards them while the commander seemed to have completely given up resistance was not a good sign.
The barbarian headquarters under Ma Chao were fine, but the surviving private soldiers from the aristocratic families were a little impetuous. They did not trust Ma Chao as much as the barbarians, even though Ma Chao had led them out of the siege before.
"Don't worry, our mission has been accomplished. Next, just watch their performance quietly!" Ma Chao said with a loud laugh.
"Mengqi, I didn't expect you to have such great confidence in me?" Zhuge Liang showed up and said with a smile, but Ma Chao instantly got furious.
Zhuge Liang was very close to him, but he was completely unaware of Zhuge Liang's figure until Zhuge Liang spoke.
"Haha, this is all thanks to you, Mengqi, for attracting the attention of these Hu people. If not, I'm afraid they wouldn't have stepped into our encirclement so easily!"
Zhuge Liang gently waved the goose feather fan in his hand and slowly activated the Bagua Formation, bringing new changes to the entire formation.
The Hu people have completely stepped into the range of the entire formation. There is no need to hide anymore. It is time to strike hard.
Zhuge Liang very steadily removed Xun You's talent, and then integrated the talents of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Xun into the Bagua formation.
As a super-talented person who can use all talents, Zhuge Liang can always achieve unexpected results by relying on the combination of talents.
Zhou Yu's halo of stupidity, Lu Su's control over the temperature of celestial phenomena, Lu Xun's talent for influencing human cognition, plus Zhou Yu's quasi-spiritual talent of piano sound.
A light mist rose, and the solemn and murderous sound of an ambush could be heard above the battlefield.
The fear of the Hu people was instantly magnified, and a tense and solemn feeling lingered on every Hu person affected.
The Hu cavalry were horrified to find that countless Han cavalry appeared around them as if divine troops had descended from the sky.
They couldn't tell whether it was a mirage or real Han cavalry. The nervousness and Lu Xun's misjudgment made these Hu people completely lose their ability to think.
This is the plan Zhuge Liang made specifically against the Hu people after he put the talents of Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Chen Gong and others online.
The core of the plan is just one point, which is to seize the biggest disadvantage of the Hu people, or the mixed Hu people.
That is the deep-seated awe of the Han Dynasty. Even if they dared to raise an army to offend the Han Dynasty, their backbones were broken by the Han Dynasty. However, what was engraved in their bones was the deep fear of the Han Dynasty, so attacking the heart was particularly effective.
But the mixed Hu people are mixed Hu people. When their numbers bully the few, they can still fight back. But when the enemy numbers overwhelm them, their morale begins to collapse uncontrollably.
"Calm down! Calm down! It's just a trick of the Han Dynasty!" Bu Chenyi tried hard to maintain the morale of the entire army.
But they were just a group of rabble, barely united together. How could Bu Chenyi possibly restore the Hu people who were fighting each other to normal?
"kill!"
Zhang Liao led his large army and rushed out from the diagonal upwards.
The Eternal Faith was shining brightly. Zhuge Liang originally wanted to export this thing to the Bagua Formation to spread it, but he was almost bitten back by the Eternal Faith. If he had not stopped quickly, he would be in the same situation as Zhang Liao now.
In order to boost morale and save the situation that was on the verge of collapse, Bu Chenyi took the initiative to lead his troops to meet Zhang Liao.
"The Hu people should all die!"
Zhang Liao roared loudly, and under the illumination of the eternal belief, Zhang Liao's expression was extremely ferocious.
Silver-gray internal energy was continuously injected into the spear. There was no obvious luster emitted, but only threads like thin threads condensed inside the spear.
It is naturally impossible for bearing the eternal belief to be all bad. At least Zhang Liao's originally soft internal energy, under the influence of the eternal belief, directly stepped into the level of combining hardness and softness, and also stepped into the range of breaking the boundary with it.
Bu Chenyi, with his mortal eyes, could not see the danger posed by Zhang Liao at all and thought that Zhang Liao was just an insignificant ant.
"die!"
The moment the two sides approached, Zhang Liao swept the spear in his hand violently, and countless fine threads suddenly exploded, hitting Bu Chenyi directly with fierce force.
“Bang!”
In less than a second, Bu Chenyi was beaten into a bloody mist. His tragic death completely broke the last psychological defense line of the Hu people.
Bu Chenyi's brave behavior attracted the attention of many Hu people, so the shock of being killed instantly by Zhang Liao made more Hu people lose their minds.
But Zhang Liao didn't care about that. He led his wolf riders and tigers into the flock of sheep, madly slaughtering all the Hu people he could see.
The wolf riders are all super cavalrymen who are skilled in archery and horsemanship. The front row conducts close combat and the middle and back rows conduct rain of arrows.
In a confrontation of the same level, this rain of arrows may not be of much use, but it is extremely effective against these trash barbarians.
In an instant, countless Hu people fell to the ground on their horses. Under the dense rain of arrows, the Hu cavalry who were covered kept falling down. The Hu cavalry behind them trampled on them, and even those who were not shot to death were trampled into meat paste.
The Hu people were instantly frightened, and the originally mighty Hu army suddenly scattered and fled in all directions.
They all looked for the weak points they saw in their field of vision.
They were so mentally handicapped that they had no way of thinking about whether those seemingly large numbers of Han cavalry really existed, and whether the weak points they chose were really weak.
"It's done!" Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, looking at the chaotic Hu people in the distance who were crashing into the troops stationed in all directions, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
On the grassland, it might be easy to defeat the Hu people. Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others only needed to lead the wolf cavalry to charge and defeat them.
However, if you want to completely destroy these Hu people, you have to use some means.
The layers of cavalry shadows that looked like mirages frightened the Hu people out of their wits.
They simply did not have the courage to verify whether those large numbers of cavalry were real, so they let go of these vacancies and took the initiative to find the tough guys stationed in all directions.
The Bagua Formation actually has a way out, after all, there is nothing perfect in the world.
If the Hu people near the Shengmen are capable, they can easily see the direction of the entire formation and have the opportunity to destroy the Bagua Formation.
However, it is obvious that the Hu people cannot do this.
What's more, for safety's sake, Zhuge Liang sent Lu Bu and Sima Yi to guard the gate of life.
I have to say that sometimes, some talents that seem to be completely incompatible can produce wonderful chemical reactions.
Sima Yi and Lu Bu are such a pair.
