Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 496 Before the wolf's den came out, he entered the tiger's den again! (4000)

Hao Meng's words finally calmed down the frightened soldiers temporarily.

However, his meeting with that group of soldiers was only a small probability event. The soldiers followed his words and did what he said. After half an hour of tossing, only the two groups got together. The changes made these soldiers tormented enough.

The glimmer of morale that was finally lifted quickly dissipated.

Instead, there was greater panic and suspicion than before, but this time everyone knew that if they spoke loudly, Hao Meng would hear them, so they only discussed in a low voice in the group.

Some groups even sat down on the ground without moving.

Anyway, if Hao Meng finds a way to break it, they can also leave safely. Otherwise, everyone will never see each other, and no one will know that they are being lazy.

Of course it's not the way to go on like this.

After all this tossing, Hao Meng has already had a preliminary understanding of the eight formations in front of him. Although he didn't know that it was actually a maze, which contained the profound art of war and formation, he remembered that he was in the forest before. Following the faint light of the sound, he soon had a new idea.

"Soldiers, I think of it!"

Hao Meng suddenly shouted again at the top of his voice, "Climb up! Each group will send one person to find the tallest tree around them and climb up, climb to the top of the tree and look around, so that they can clearly see the lights lit by the surrounding groups in the dark." The torches can determine the position and distance between each other, and then the climber can instruct the people below to move and meet, which can get twice the result with half the effort, everyone, act quickly, and go out in one fell swoop!"

"promise!"

Hao Meng's words once again gave the soldiers great hope.

The main reason is that after everyone thought about this idea, they also found it very reasonable. The biggest problem now is that they cannot see the path clearly, and cannot accurately judge the positions of other people. If you climb up and look down, you can see everything at a glance. Of course, it is not easy got stuck.

In fact, this is also an unavoidable flaw in all mazes.

As long as you can see the whole picture of the maze clearly, then the maze is just a slightly complicated map, and you can quickly find the correct path with only your eyes and brain.

Unfortunately.

Although Hao Meng's idea was very good, when it was actually implemented, it was not as smooth as imagined.

Many soldiers quickly climbed onto the trees, and they could indeed see many groups of torches when they looked down, but don't forget, it's late at night with extremely poor visibility, even if they climbed to the trees and looked down, they could only Seeing those torches and the range within a few meters of the torches, even knowing that the distance between two adjacent groups of people is not too far, it is still not an easy task to get the two groups of people to come together smoothly .

For a while, although the soldiers regained hope, they all got busy.

But the atmosphere in the forest is not very harmonious:

"You are so fucking blind, the person is clearly in front of you, just walk straight and you will meet him!"

"Come down and let me walk around. There is a row of trees in front of me. I fly over with wings?!"

"Keep your mouth clean, I remember you, wait until you come down to see that I won't punish you!"

"Wrong, wrong! Are you out of your mind? Tell you to turn left. Where the hell are you going?"

"There's no way on the left, you're out of your mind!"

"I'm quitting. If you love someone, I'll show you the way. If you don't listen, forget it. You'll have to deal with me later. It's not human business, whoever loves to do it!"

"..."

After all, they are a group of uneducated big bosses, and they are all soldiers who have seen blood. It is already considered good if they can restrain themselves and not really fight.

But this move is not useless.

Many people have already discovered the problem. Except for the trees and special terrain that cannot be crossed, if the two groups of people are close enough and separated by those strange stones, they can climb over the stones with a little effort. confluence.

Some people even directly choose to overthrow or dismantle the stone pestle, and force a passage to join.

With this move, more and more people gathered together.

The fear in people's hearts will be relatively reduced when there are more people, and the situation seems to be getting better gradually.

However, the situation is not as simple as they thought.

Although apart from Zhuge Liang in the Tuan army, even Wu Liang couldn't understand the essentials of the "Eight Formation Diagram", Zhuge Liang also told Wu Liang about the special features of this formation.

Let's just put it that way.

Like Hao Meng and others destroying part of the situation in the "Eight Formation Diagram" now, there is no way to break out of the formation. The central formation connected by the eight formations, this central formation is the eye of the formation.

Only by finding the eye of the formation and taking it away in one fell swoop, the eight Itian gossip battle formations cannot continue to change, so that they have a chance to get out of it smoothly.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no other way to crack the "Eight Arrays".

When he was in the "Mu Cemetery" before, Wu Liang thought of using the method of "lifting the roof" to pass through the "Eight Formation" maze. A large amount of kerosene was placed at the eye of the formation to defend against this method. If Wu Liang did this, even if he could pass the "Eight Formation Map", he would only get a tomb that had been burnt to scorched earth, and maybe it would be marked with his own. The lives of the Liren army.

At this moment, Hao Meng ordered people to climb to the top of the tree to observe the formation, which is also similar to the "top-lifting" that Wu Liang thought of this time, so he naturally had a chance to crack the formation.

But the problem is that it is the night when the visibility is not good.

Even if they climbed to the top of the tree, they couldn't see the whole picture of the "Eight Arrays".

Of course, I dare not spread torches all over the mountains and forests, not to mention whether the kerosene and torches I carry with me are enough, even if we have enough, in this forest full of trees and fallen leaves, an unstoppable firestorm can be caused if we are not careful. Fire, they will not be able to escape at that time, and the end can be imagined.

But as long as they lasted until daytime, the "Eight Arrays" would naturally not be able to trap them...

of course.

This is not to say that the "Eight Arrays" can be broken by anyone who wants to break it.

It should be known that arranging the "Eight Arrays" into an immovable maze like Wu Liang is doing now, or like "Mu Gong's Tomb", this is definitely the next strategy, but it is a good idea for the "Eight Arrays" overkill.

The essence of the "Eight Formation Diagram" is battle formation!

When fighting, using a large number of soldiers to form a battle formation is the ultimate form of this formation. In Zhuge Liang's own words, give him [-] soldiers and horses, and provide him with an open and flat battlefield, and he can strangle ten thousand soldiers head-on in this formation. Thousands of enemy troops wiped out their entire army.

In fact, when I heard Zhuge Liang's rhetoric.

Wu Liang still couldn't help complaining in his heart: Tsk tsk tsk, what you said is so powerful. In history, your kid led the Shu army to the Northern Expedition several times, didn't they not achieve much results?
But it's just a rant.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the essence of the "Eight Formation Diagram" is a defensive formation, and a suitable battlefield is needed to deploy the large formation. Most of them are siege battles, and the chances of this "eight formation map" being able to play a role are even less.

So this does not mean that the "Eight Arrays" are not powerful enough.

……

This went on for several more hours.

Hao Meng and the others finally managed to gather most of the troops after demolishing a lot of stone embankments, and some people still haven't found them, and this doesn't mean that they have been able to escape from the "Eight Arrays". It can be said that it has changed from more than 30 groups of people to several groups.

At this moment, the already dark night became even darker, even a little depressing.

This is actually the darkness before dawn, heralding that a new day is coming, and they will see more things.

"Let's rest for a while!"

Hao Meng also had a judgment in his heart, waved to the soldiers under his command, and said loudly, "Everyone is tired after tossing all night, let's make a fire on the spot to keep out the cold and cook food, and the sky will be bright after eating, and we will slow down at that time." If you work hard and then climb up and inspect according to law, you will get twice the result with half the effort, so why not be afraid!"

"promise!"

The soldiers were already exhausted, and it was as if they were pardoned after hearing this.

After a moment.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the forest, mixed with the aroma of corn. Some soldiers even drank the hot porridge and immediately felt comfortable, wrapped their clothes and leaned against the tree, and squinted quickly.

Another half hour later.

The sun finally poked out half of its head from the horizon.

The sky is a patch of green and red morning glow, which looks gorgeous and beautiful, but the fly in the ointment is that the early morning in late autumn is still a bit cold.

At the same time, the thin sunlight also illuminated the forest.

It's still a bit gloomy, but the line of sight is good enough.

"Go and wake them up, leave here first and then make a decision."

Hao Meng patrolled around and felt that the time was almost up, so she gave orders to the guards around her.

Although he remained calm for a whole night, he was actually a little afraid of this mountain forest... It's too evil. After living such an old age and digging many tombs, it was the first time he met last night. Case.

And that "Tai Sui".

Not only did the soldiers think that this matter had something to do with their "violating the Tai Sui", even Hao Meng also had such worries in his heart.

After all, as an aborigine of this era, he has the same worldview as other aborigines, and whenever he encounters such weird things, he will unconsciously think about it.

Especially last night, it was really like the folklore "ghost hits the wall".

It always feels like there is a mysterious force affecting everything, so they are trapped here.

at this time.

A loud shout suddenly resounded through the forest: "Listen, people inside, I am Zhai Gu, the general defending the Yuan City, and I have led more than a thousand soldiers to surround this forest. Even a fly can't fly out. If you don't want to If you die, immediately put down your weapons and come out to surrender, or I will burn this forest down, and then you will all be turned into coke with this forest, then you can't blame me for being cruel!"

"?!"

Hearing this voice, Hao Meng and the others all trembled, and the soldiers who were taking a nap against the trees woke up instantly.

"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"

The commanding soldier hurriedly took out the gong, and slammed it loudly while shouting: "Enemy attack! There is enemy attack!"

He is also responsible, even if everyone knows it well, the process that should be followed must be followed, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty.

"Okay, stop knocking!"

Hao Meng waved his hands at the commanding soldier, his brows were already frowned.

Before the wolf's den came out, he entered the tiger's den again.

This is really bad luck, why did it attract the Yuancheng defenders? Could it be that because of committing the Tai Sui, everything that follows is a big crime?

"General, what should I do with this?"

Cao Xing also asked anxiously from the side, "If there are more than a thousand defenders outside, it will be very difficult for the three hundred of us to fight against them, and if the enemy really set fire to the mountain, it will be even more difficult for us to survive!"

"This……"

Hao Meng pondered for a moment, and finally said, "If we want to teach them not to burn mountains, there is probably only one way, and that is to teach them to enter this forest. They probably don't know the situation in this forest and rashly When we come in, we will only be confused like we were last night, and then we will act accordingly."

Cao Xing nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "The general is absolutely right! As long as the people who teach them come in, they can't burn their own people together, and here, we obviously need to be more familiar, maybe there is still a chance, but... How does the general plan to bring them in?"

"It's better to tell the truth, just say that we are trapped and can't get out."

Hao Meng said, "The defenders of Yuancheng probably don't believe it. Maybe they will send people in to investigate. At that time, we will not be afraid of setting fire to the mountain. We may have a chance to escape. If we really can't escape, as long as we don't kill people... we To tell the truth, it can be regarded as leaving a way out for myself, let’s surrender when it’s time to surrender, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood, thinking that the defenders of Yuancheng know our identities, and they will not kill us easily. It is likely that we will be reported to Yuan Benchu ​​to ask for credit. Yuan Benchu ​​and General Lu had a feud, and naturally he would like to see us betray him. This matter will not only make General Lu furious, but also affect Cao Mengde, who is now at war with Yuan Benchu. After all, General Lu has already become Cao Mengde's adoptive son, so we can still be of some use to Yuan Benchu ​​if we are alive, maybe we can save our lives, or even be used by Yuan Benchu."

"The general wants to surrender? General Lu treats you well!"

Cao Xing immediately widened his eyes.

"It's a last resort, it's just a matter of expediency. Is it possible that we should ignore it and bring these soldiers under our command to die together? When a person dies, nothing is left!"

Hao Meng said seriously.

If Wu Liang was here, he would know that Hao Meng was not very loyal to Lv Bu in the first place, otherwise how could he have been tempted by Yuan Shu to rebel against Lv Bu in history, so it is only reasonable for him to make such a decision now.

But Cao Xing is different.

When Hao Meng rebelled against Lu Bu, Cao Xing immediately turned against him and assisted Gao Shun in beheading Hao Meng.
