Han Shimou

Chapter 969

Cao Cao laughed when he heard the words, and said in a concentrated voice, circling his fingers around the surroundings. ()

"Wenhe, look at the surrounding water, it is difficult for Zhuge Liang to gather boats for a while, even if he has great ability, it is difficult to build a place. Why should Wenhe be mediocre!?"

Following what Cao Cao pointed out, Jia Xu looked around and felt a certainty in her heart, and felt that it was true.At that moment, Jia Xu didn't say much anymore, and calmed down, he and Cao Cao waited for Zhuge Liang to come and reply.

Let's say that Zhuge Liang's deployment in Xiangyang City has been decided, and all the generals are ordered to go.Ma Liang asked Zhuge Liang again.

"All the generals are moving, the military commander should prepare the boat and prepare to meet the old thief, so as to delay the time and make the old thief relax!?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, and said lightly.

"This is not the right time. Everything is ready now, only the east wind is needed. Ji Chang, you quickly recruit a group of soldiers and build an altar on the Lingshan Mountain outside the city. The Lingshan Mountain is quite spiritual. Liangyu uses this place to cast spells and borrow wind!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Liang's face changed, showing a bit of surprise.Zhuge Liang had a mysterious expression on his face, so Ma Liang didn't dare to make mistakes, so he rushed to prepare immediately.

At noon, according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Ma Liang ordered the soldiers to build an altar with terracotta on the Lingshan Mountain in the east.The altar has a radius of 24 feet, and each floor is three feet high, a total of nine feet.On the next floor, 28 flags are placed, and there are seven flags in the east, south, west, and north directions, which are arranged in the positions of Qinglong, Xuanwu, Baihu, and Suzaku.I saw seven blue flags in the east, according to Jiao, Kang, Shi, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji, in the shape of a Canglong, and seven yellow flags in the north, according to Dou, Niu, Nv, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi, forming Xuanwu. The trend, the seven white flags in the west, according to Kui, Lou, Wei, Subaru, Bi, Qi, and Shen, occupy the prestige of the white tiger.The seven red flags in the south, according to the well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing, and Zhen, form the shape of a red bird.

There are 64 black and white flags around the second floor, which are divided into eight positions according to the 64 hexagrams, forming the shape of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.After the altar was set up, Ma Liang quickly reported to Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang was in auspicious days, bathed and fasted, wore Taoist robes, and his feet were loose. He led four men dressed as Taoist priests to the altar.

I saw that the four of them were wearing hair crowns, soap robes, phoenix robes and belts, and red shoes and square trains.According to Zhuge Liang's instructions, the four stood in their respective positions, with one person standing in front and left holding a long pole with chicken feathers on the tip of the pole.In order to attract wind and letters, there is a person standing on the front and right, holding a long pole with a seven-star belt on the pole to show the wind color, a person standing on the back left, holding a sword, and a person standing on the back right, holding an incense burner.

Zhuge Liang saw that the four men were standing in a good position, and quickly ordered 24 young soldiers to stand under the altar, each in its position, each holding a banner, treasure cover, euphorbia, long dagger, yellow axe, baiyan, Zhuban, and Zaoyu. Surrounds all sides.

Zhuge Liang stood in front of the altar and asked everyone in a concentrated voice not to leave their positions without authorization.Do not whisper.Do not speak nonsense.Don't be surprised.Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!All take orders.Zhuge Liang stepped up to the altar slowly, and the viewing direction was set. He burned incense in the furnace, poured water in the bowl, and wrote aloud words, waved Taoist orders with his hands, and prayed secretly to the sky.

Ma Liang was on the side, watching quietly, feeling as if his heart was in his throat, and he didn't dare to disturb him.After an unknown period of time, the north wind was blowing, and a group of wild geese flew slowly from the north in different formations, and there was no east wind.

About three hours later, until the night fog fell, Zhuge Liang walked down from the altar, and said to Ma Liang with a faint but mysterious smile on his face.

"Ji Chang, you can quickly send soldiers to report to the old thief, and Liang will go to reply at the beginning of the night."

Hearing this, Ma Liang frowned, and asked in doubt.

"But the wind is still blowing from the north. Could it be that you, the military master, are casting spells!?"

Before Ma Liang could finish his sentence, Zhuge Liang's face changed suddenly, and he shouted with a bit of horror.

"Ji Chang said carefully, worried that he would offend Feng Po. It's just that the time has not yet come. When the time comes, the east wind will come naturally. Ji Chang can't doubt it."

Hearing this, Ma Liang's heart tightened, and seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed to have a well-thought-out attitude, he was a little determined, so he followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and went to give orders.

Let's say, on a certain high mountain in the Xiangjiang River, Cao Cao and his men and soldiers waited for a long time on the top of the mountain, but Zhuge Liang didn't come to reply for a long time.Cao Ren's face turned cold, and he bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

"It seems that Zhuge Kongming is still stubborn. He would rather die than save Pan and Zhang, rather than surrender to the King!"

Cao Cao listened to the words, but he was not impatient. He laughed and said to Cao Ren.

"Zixiao, don't be impatient. There are still a few hours before the deadline. You might as well wait for these hours to pass before making a conclusion."

Hearing this, Cao Ren's expression froze, and he glanced slowly at Pan Feng, Zhang Fei and the others who were not far away. He saw that Pan Feng closed his eyes and rested, without any panic, and even the irritable Zhang Fei The same is true, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, as if they don't know that they are about to face a catastrophe.

When I was young, a soldier of the Wei army came to report to Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang sent someone to report, and he will come to reply at the beginning of the night tonight.When Cao Cao heard the news, the smile on his face became even better, and he laughed, very proud.

Time goes by like a white horse passing by.Soon, it was time for the first watch at night.On the Xiangjiang River, dozens of small boats suddenly appeared, the one in front saw a person holding a goose feather fan, he had been waiting for a long time, and he heard that Zhuge Liang came as promised, a pair of detailed eyes that seemed to have the power to swallow the sky, suddenly After shooting two lights, he led a group of civil and military soldiers down the mountain quickly, rushed to the shore and boarded the boat.

After a while, a huge warship sailed into the river with fifty or sixty small boats.Cao Cao led a group of civil and military soldiers to stand on the bow of the big ship. Gradually, Cao Cao saw dozens of small boats on the river, with few lights, like stars dotted on the river.Cao Cao smiled generously and said to the ministers.

"Hahahaha! This world-shocking and unparalleled Crouching Dragon finally succumbed to Gu Zhi's feet today! It's really joyful, joyful!!!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, a gust of north wind blew Cao Cao's battle robe, and the bright red cape fluttered with the wind. At first glance, Cao Cao looked like a peerless overlord standing on the pinnacle of the world. Seeing this, Wei Chen was secretly amazed.Everyone thinks, whether Zhuge Liang votes or not, after today, he is doomed to drift away from Liu Xuande!

When all the officials of Cao Wei were secretly delighted, only Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You and others frowned deeply, their faces were gloomy, their spirits were highly concentrated, and their eyes shone brightly from time to time, as if they were always on guard against the future at any time. The shocking accident.Guo Jia's face darkened, and he said to Xun You in a low voice.

"Did Gongda give Zixiao a good order!?"

When Xun You heard the words, his eyes narrowed, and he answered in Guo Jia's ear.

"Marquis Zhen don't need to worry too much. I have given General Cao a good order. If there is any movement, he will immediately lead the army to rush up and hack Pan Wushuang and Zhang Yide to death!!"

Guo Jia just calmed down when he heard this, and silently nodded.Zhuge Liang's intelligence is as high as a monster.Guo Jia took great pains to push Zhuge Liang into the current situation where he couldn't advance or retreat.Guo Jia knew that if such a good opportunity was lost, it would be difficult to force Zhuge Liang to such a degree in the future.Therefore, Guo Jia did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and the closer he was to success, the more he had to be prepared for unexpected changes!

Seeing the fleet of the Wei Army slowly approaching the fleet of the Jingzhou Army.At this moment, Jia Xu, who was watching the fleet on the other side and thinking, suddenly felt that the north wind that was originally blowing disappeared strangely, but at this time the wind direction changed to east wind.Jia Xu's complexion changed, his thoughts turned, as if he had sensed something extremely important, he rushed to Cao Cao's side and said.

"Wait a minute, my lord, the wind has changed suddenly. The wind is blowing from the east. According to recent investigations, Zhuge Liang once waited and watched for a long time on the opposite mountain of our army. If he had planned in advance, he would arrange a crossbowman to be on the opposite mountain at this time." Shooting arrows and setting fire, our army camps are all set up in the dense forest, there will be chaos, and Pan Wushuang and Zhang Yide will take advantage of the chaos to escape!!!”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, the expressions of all the officials of Cao Wei changed drastically.Cao Cao's small eyes suddenly shot two jing lights, and his brain started thinking, but soon he smiled and started laughing.

"Haha! Wenhe doesn't need to worry too much. The pair of mountains and the high mountain where our army is located are hundreds of meters away. Even with the help of the wind, it is difficult to get it."

When Cao Cao said this, the expressions of Cao Wei's officials changed again, and the panic on each face quickly faded away.

At this moment, a burst of gongs and horns suddenly sounded on the opposite fleet, attracting everyone's attention.After the noise, Zhuge Liang shouted and shouted hysterically.

"The king of Wei is safe and sound! Zhuge Kongming came to answer!!!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was overjoyed, as if he couldn't wait to get Zhuge Liang's reply, he quickly told the fleet to speed up.Cao Wei's fleet speeded up, and the waves jumped high.Seeing that the two fleets were about to approach, a sudden change occurred.

Besides, at the top of the opposite mountain, Ma Liang and Sun Qian led thousands of Jingzhou soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time.Seeing Dongfeng's delay in coming, Ma Liang was anxious and uncertain.Suddenly, the direction of the wind changed, and Sun Qian saw that the direction of the flag swaying changed, and immediately exclaimed.

"Come, come!! The east wind is coming!!!"

When Ma Liang heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered three thousand soldiers to push a huge object to the edge of the cliff, aiming at the dense forest on the opposite side.This huge object is a giant crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying.This giant crossbow is dozens of feet long, with a head of a dragon and a tiger on the left and right sides of the front, and four wooden wheels below it that can be pushed, weighing hundreds of catties.The bowstring is tens of meters long, and the arrow is specially made, with a length of 12 meters, and the strength of the shot can reach dozens of stones. The range can be hundreds of meters away, and it can break through giant logs and rocks.This giant crossbow is called Dragon Tiger Crossbow.Zhuge Liang originally wanted to use it as a siege weapon, but the Dragon and Tiger Crossbow was still under research. Zhuge Liang pursued perfection in everything, so he hadn't put it into battle yet.

I saw a set of dragon and tiger crossbows set up, and each dragon and tiger crossbow was equipped with four giant men to launch them.Ma Liang's spirit was highly concentrated, staring at the opposite mountain.

Soon, there was another burst of loud and loud gongs.Ma Liang's face changed suddenly, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to light the fire and shoot the arrows.All Jingzhou soldiers listened to the order, lit torches one after another, and ignited huge arrows.All of a sudden, the flames surged and the flames surged.

Ma Liang's expression was firm, he waved the red flag with his hand, and shouted desperately.

"she!!!!"

Boom~!Bang bang~~! !Bang bang bang~~! ! ! ! !

A series of huge bowstring sounds like landslides erupted, and one by one huge rockets took advantage of the wind, like meteor showers that were difficult to catch with the naked eye, shooting towards the dense forest on the opposite mountain, and bursts of extremely Horrible bang.The whole mountain seemed to be shaken by the shot, and soon there were huge flames burning, like huge fire dragons, swimming and flying away, quickly spreading around.

In other words, Cao Ren led an army to closely monitor every move of Pan Feng, Zhang Fei and others.Pan Feng, Zhang Fei and others all had pale faces, and the hundreds of them had been there for several days without a single grain of rice.Cao Cao feared that they would have an attack, so he refused to give them food, and intentionally starved them until they were exhausted.

Suddenly, a series of violent noises erupted.Pan Feng's phoenix eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened, shooting out two extremely bright lights.At the same time, Zhang Fei and Pan Ping also opened their eyes wide, and the light in their eyes shone like small fires.Hearing the loud noise, Cao Ren's expression changed drastically, but he hadn't reacted yet.Suddenly, there were bursts of loud bangs in the dense forest.Immediately, countless horrifying sounds erupted again and again.

Cao Ren subconsciously turned around to look around, and saw some juicy object coming at him in the dense forest, and the soldiers ran away in a panic. Soon after, bursts of fire burst into the sky and spread rapidly to the surroundings.Cao Ren was so frightened that his soul flew out of fear, his face was in a daze, he didn't understand what was falling from the sky all of a sudden, it would come here.

When Pan Feng saw the flames in the dense forest, he knew that it was Zhuge Liang who did it. Immediately, his momentum burst into anger, his thick eyebrows stood erect, his phoenix eyes widened, and he shouted sharply.

"kill!!!"

Pan Feng shouted loudly, Zhang Fei, Pan Ping and hundreds of dead soldiers, all of them crawling like beasts, twisted their weapons and rushed towards Cao Ren's army.

Cao Ren could only react when he heard the sound of shouting. He hastily pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted sharply.

"There is an order from the military commander, so don't be shy, kill Pan Wushuang, Zhang Yide and others without leaving a single one!!!!"
