Chapter 862: The Secret Revealed
"If my guess is correct, Japan should be preparing to completely separate the general from us, but the number of Japanese troops should not be enough to support this. Could it be that there is a third party force being introduced?"
Sima Yi quickly analyzed his own views. Just as he said, the troops previously identified were not enough for Japan to defend the city and then encircle and suppress Guo Hao.
There were probably more than 200,000 people scattered in the outer camps before, and there were almost tens of thousands of people on the three city walls.
If the defense of street fighting inside the city is abandoned, any tactics of Japan will be meaningless, as the Han Dynasty can turn its guns around and launch a counter-encirclement at any time .
But if they didn't give up the defense, could it be that the other side had hidden the existence of more than 100,000 people from the very beginning?
The information on their side has also been double-verified, so there should be no omissions.
At the same time, Guan Yu's spiritual clone loaded over and reported the situation in the city.
"Reporting to Commander Zhuge, there are no living people in the city. There are only strange monsters. They can't distinguish between friend and foe. They are attacking us and the Japanese at the same time. The force of their counterattack is very fierce!"
"And it seems to have come through some kind of space channel, and it's still pouring out!"
"Temporarily occupy the city wall and control those monsters inside the city!" Zhuge Liang frowned. Sure enough, the Japanese side had prepared something that could delay the Han army.
They are just betting on whether the Han Dynasty will occupy Japan. Once they occupy Japan, they will never let the demons out.
Once the Han Dynasty does not occupy Japan, they will simply break up into small groups and fight guerrilla warfare on the spot. It won't be long before the Han Dynasty leaves on its own, and Japan will still be theirs by then.
It can be said that this is a rather extreme form of imperial militarism, which does not take human life seriously at all.
Of course, the Han Dynasty wanted to occupy Japan. This place was a very good place to use as a port leading to the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by the sea, it allowed for the rapid development of maritime trade.
"Oh no, the breath of the general's army has disappeared!" Pang Tong's face changed drastically, because he used iron chain boats to maintain the connection of the army, giving many wounded soldiers a greater chance of survival.
But just now, the aura of the legion disappeared instantly in the direction where Guo Hao was.
Zhuge Liang's pupils shrank slightly and he reacted quickly.
"Takamagahara! It's the sacred place of Japan!"
According to the currently known information, there is only one thing in Japan that can be regarded as an alien space that can isolate breath.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and his brain worked at high speed!
"Go at full speed and move forward in the previous direction. We must still be in the same place, but it's just blocked from our perception by something!" Zhuge Liang figured out the clues in an instant.
It is impossible to move people away directly. The only explanation is that the other party used unknown means to pull the so-called sacred land directly to the ground, covering the real battlefield.
Only this explanation can explain the sudden disappearance of tens of thousands of people.
"Shi Yuan, who else is in the Military Soul Corps?" Zhuge Liang turned his head and asked Pang Tong.
"Only Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp is still there, and the other legions have also lost their sense of connection!" Pang Tong replied quickly, and then he felt a lot more relieved, as he almost forgot about it in the panic.
The guards around the general are even stronger than the ones around them now, so safety should not be a problem.
After getting closer, Zhuge Liang and his companions could almost sense the huge force not far away, which blocked their perception, as if it was a wall of sighs.
"Sure enough, they have blocked our perception. Send someone to notify Zhou Gongjin and the others and ask them to bring people over. We may need help!"
Just when Zhuge Liang was still wondering how they could tear a hole in the wall.
"Sorry, this road is blocked!"
Akechi Mitsuhide narrowed his eyes and led a mixed force of Onmyoji, Ninjas, and Samurai to block Zhuge Liang and his men. Judging from the crossbows set up on both sides, they should have been specially arranged here to wait for them.
"They're actually dividing their forces?"
Zhuge Liang felt more relaxed. In this way, the pressure faced by Guo Hao and others would be even smaller. Maybe they wouldn't even be needed and they could fight their way out on their own.
Do the Japanese really think that the human wave tactic can defeat the super elite troops who stick together?
Zhuge Liang had an absurd thought, as if their tension all along was a battle of wits and courage with the air.
The Japanese are not as cunning as they think, but simply have not seen the world.
He was so naive that he thought he could win as long as he surrounded Guo Hao with a large number of people, and he was willing to bet his last line of defense on it.
"A star-studded pattern!" Akechi Mitsuhide activated his talent, and bits of starlight fell from the sky and landed on the mixed troops under his command.
"Deal with them!" Zhuge Liang showed no mercy and directly activated several talents to bless the soldiers under his command.
"The link has been established and we can share the damage at any time!" Pang Tong nodded to Zhuge Liang, indicating that he was ready.
"How about we use the Bagua formation? My understanding of the universe is different from yours, so it will be more effective if we use it."
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes. While they had the advantage in terms of talent, his spiritual talent could not be activated. If he didn't do anything, he would seem incompetent.
But Zhuge Liang basically knows everything he can do, and it is only because their understanding of the universe is different that they can complement each other to the greatest extent.
"Okay!" Zhuge Liang had no intention of hiding his shortcomings.
"The past and the present are called the universe, and the four directions and the up and down are called the universe!" Zhuge Liang slowly narrated his understanding of the universe, and with the blessing of the essence of heaven and earth, he began to spread it in a mighty way.
"So, the Eight Trigrams Formation uses the four directions above and below as the courtyard, and the past and present as the pillars, which together form the universe!"
As Zhuge Liang's voice fell, the sky suddenly changed, and the clouds above their heads became thicker in an instant.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and wanted to continue, but he was powerless. He had a premonition that if he continued speaking, he might collapse first.
What's more, this is his understanding of the world, and even if he adds one or two more sentences, it will not have any substantive meaning.
"As time goes by, my heart remains unchanged!" Sima Yi's low voice sounded right after Zhuge Liang's. With the injection of their spiritual energy, the Bagua Formation began to slowly start up.
A huge Bagua fell from the sky, and all the Japanese soldiers who were swept by it felt their power slipping away. Even if they tried their best to stop it, they could not stop the loss of power, just like time, which could not be stopped forever.
Correspondingly, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty felt that their power was constantly increasing.
One yin and one yang, one inside and one outside, the Bagua formation deployed simultaneously by Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi perfectly weakened the enemy and strengthened themselves.
"Han Empire!" Akechi Mitsuhide's face was extremely gloomy. He was not shocked at all. He had expected what capabilities the Han Empire had.
After all, it is the Han Empire, so it is not surprising that they have any kind of abilities.
