Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 620 Bagua array!
Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, Gu Rubing smiled helplessly.

Because they were so cautious along the way, the two of them moved very slowly.

After Sun Jian received the news from Cao Cao, he also found out that the person standing on the city wall was just a puppet. He then directly prepared to attack the city, but there was no siege. This was just to deal with Cao Cao.

But there was no news of Gu Rubing's return, which almost wore out Sun Jian's patience.

Moreover, the soldiers were always in a state of tension, which could easily make people tired, and there were also some voices of dissatisfaction in the military camp.

Zhou Yu has also been urging Sun Jian.

Finally, Sun Jian couldn't bear it anymore and ordered everyone to attack the city.

Zhang Liao and others who were guarding Guiyang County saw the aggressive look of Zhou Yu and others, and Zhang Liao knew that this would be a tough battle.

Zhang Liao looked at the map. They were currently guarding Yinshan County, and Zhou Yu had surrounded the three city gates, leaving only the South Gate. It was obvious that this was left for them, as he wanted them to leave through the South Gate.

Zhang Liao arranged Zhang He to guard the east gate, Zhang Ren to guard the north gate, and he to guard the west gate where the largest number of attackers were located.

The one who attacked the west gate was Gan Ning.

Gan Ning took the lead and rushed directly to the city wall.

Zhang Liao swung the Yellow Dragon Scythe Hook Knife in his hand and slashed at Gan Ning.

He had just climbed up the city wall and before he could react, he subconsciously held the ancient ingot knife in his hand across his body to block.

The powerful force made him unable to help but take two steps back and he stepped directly on the edge of the city wall.

I almost fell down.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the victory and pursued Gan Ning, wanting to defeat him directly, but Gan Ning also reacted by then.

Eighteen shadows appeared in an instant, surrounded Zhang Liao and blocked his way.

In desperation, Zhang Liao could only choose to fight with these shadows.

This also gave Gan Ning enough time to adjust his condition.

Among the three city gates, the one that is easier is Zhang Ren’s.

Because Zhang Ren's opponent was Zhou Yu.

Among the famous generals, Zhou Yu’s combat ability is not considered strong. His strongest point is command.

But unfortunately, Sun Jian only had these few famous generals, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to take action.

However, Zhang Ren's dual-gun technique made Zhou Yu suffer a lot. No matter how Zhou Yu resisted, there would always be a loophole. If he blocked his left hand, Zhang Ren's right hand would rush over.

After less than five rounds of fighting, Zhou Yu's arm was already wounded.

Before Zhou Yu could check on his injuries, Zhang Ren's next move came.

Zhou Yu could only roll on the ground and barely avoid the attack.

As soon as I stood up straight, I saw Zhang Ren rushing towards me.

Zhou Yu knew he was no match for his opponent, so he turned and ran.

By the time Zhang Ren chased after him, Zhou Yu had already arrived at the foot of the city using ladders.

In the end, Zhang Ren had no choice but to give up and turn around to target other Jiaozhou soldiers.

As Zhou Yu retreated, the pressure on the other two gates suddenly increased. In just one hour, except for the South Gate where Gan Ning was still holding on, the people at the other two gates all ended up in failure.

Gan Ning originally wanted to continue fighting, but when he heard Zhou Yu sound the horn to call back the troops, he had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief after Gan Ning left. Only then did he realize that he had lost all feeling in his arm.

Gan Ning returned to the camp and came before Zhou Yu.

"General, I'm having a great time fighting. Why are you asking me to withdraw? Give me another half hour and I will definitely be able to capture Zhang Liao."

"What's the point of taking down Zhang Liao? We have failed at both gates, so what's the point of you taking down the South Gate? Let's wait for Meng Huo and the others to come back and see if they have any ideas. I really don't understand. Meng Huo and Miao Moqing don't have to go to the legendary generals' battle. Why do they have to join in the fun? Isn't it better to attack the city with us?"

Zhou Yu muttered to himself as he arrived at Sun Jian's camp.

"My lord, the siege failed. We are no match for them."

Sun Jian had already guessed this result, and he had no intention of making things difficult for Zhou Yu.

"Okay, you guys go down and rest for a while. When the two from the Gu tribe come back, I'll ask them if they have any solution."

Zhou Yu nodded helplessly.

After Zhou Yu left, Zhang Liao and others began to count the losses. They soon discovered that more than 10,000 soldiers were lost, which was nothing compared to the large army they had.

"Wenyuan, fighting like this is too passive for us. The lord and the prime minister are not here, and even Yunchang is gone. If we continue to defend like this, when will it end?"

Zhang He looked at Zhang Liao and was very unhappy with such a rigid siege warfare.

"That's no use. We only have ordinary soldiers. Even if we don't want to defend the city, what else can we do? It seems that there is no point in rushing out, right?"

Just as the three were talking, a voice came from behind them.

"How can it be useless to rush out?"

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly looked behind them.

"Prime Minister, you are back? How is the lord?"

Zhang Liao immediately stepped forward and looked at Zhuge Liang with some concern.

"Don't worry, the lord is fine, but the lord should be in Liangzhou now. He should come here when the trouble in Liangzhou is over."

Zhuge Liang looked at the blood on the three men and smiled.

"It seems that the three of you have just experienced a big battle. I just heard you say that you want to rush out and fight them. Since you want to rush out, why not rush out once and dampen their arrogance."

The three of them brightened up when they heard this.

"Okay, I'll lead the team to charge right away."

They still have 500 Iron Pagodas, which is also the only special force they have. Zhang Liao decided to lead them to charge.

But soon, he was stopped by Zhuge Liang.

"Three generals, when I told you to charge once, it's not just a small fight. Since we want to fight back, we have to hurt them and scare them. Otherwise, they won't give up. We have to defeat them head-on."

Zhuge Liang was not talking casually. There were 100,000 defenders in the city, and Sun Jian only had 100,000 troops at his disposal. 100,000 against 100,000, the advantage was on my side. How could Zhuge Liang let such an advantage go to waste?

The three men didn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant, but Zhuge Liang's prestige in the army was still quite high. As long as Zhuge Liang said it, they didn't have to consider anything else and just had to do it.

Just as Sun Jian and his men were waiting for Meng Huo to return, they suddenly saw the city gate open. Nearly 100,000 people rushed out of the city gate, led by Zhang Liao and his three men, while Zhuge Liang stood on the city wall with two command flags in his hands.

Sun Jian and others didn't know what was going on. They stopped to watch curiously, while organizing their soldiers and preparing for battle.

Zhuge Liang was seen waving the command flag in his hand.

Nearly 100,000 people moved quickly and eventually formed a formation that even Sun Jian was afraid of.

"Is this the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation?"

Just as Sun Jian was muttering to himself, Zhou Yu looked at the formation carefully and felt that something was wrong.

Although the formation in front of him looked like the former Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, upon closer inspection, there were still some differences.

"My lord, no matter what it is, let me charge the formation. I promise that within an hour, I will break all of its formations."

Looking at Gan Ning, who had a simple mind but strong limbs, Sun Jian rubbed his temples helplessly.

"Don't move, let's see what Zhuge Liang wants to do."

"Sun Zhou Mu, I didn't expect you to be so impatient. If that's the case, why don't you give it a try? The newly created formation should be able to give you a good drink."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he waved the command flag again, and the entire formation was moving slowly towards Sun Jian's camp.

Seeing the army getting closer and closer to him, Sun Jian became a little panicked. He immediately ordered Gan Ning to lead 30,000 men to charge into the battle, and Huang Gai to lead 20,000 men to guard.

After receiving the order, Gan Ning and Huang Gai led their men directly into the military formation and left.

However, the entry of 50,000 people was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without even a splash.

Sun Jian didn't know what was going on, but he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Zhou Yu, dispatch 50,000 men to provide support."

"Yes."

However, Zhou Yu was much smarter than Gan Ning. He did not lead his men to break the formation from the inside, but divided the 50,000 men into two groups. Lu Xun led one group of troops, while he led another group, bypassing the formation and attacking from the outside.

This method did work at the beginning, but as the flags in Zhuge Liang's hands changed, the formation also changed accordingly.

Zhou Yu and others who were outside were swallowed up by the formation in the blink of an eye.

Zhuge Liang's deputy general, standing on the city wall, could see the situation inside the formation clearly.

"Prime Minister, Zhou Yu has already entered the battle. This time they are doomed. Without Zhou Yu, Sun Jian is finished."

"It's not that simple. My formation requires soldiers to train for a long time before it can be used effectively. What we can use this time is less than one tenth of the strength of this formation. It's just the tip of the iceberg. That's Zhou Yu. It's not that easy to trap him, let alone trap him to death. Also, don't call me Prime Minister now, call me Military Advisor."

At this time, Zhuge Liang had completed the transformation from prime minister to military advisor.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loophole appeared in the formation. Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and rushed out with his men.

With Zhou Yu's attack, the hole became bigger and bigger, and those who were previously besieged also escaped because of the hole Zhou Yu broke through.

But even so, less than 60,000 of the 100,000-strong army managed to break out.

Gan Ning and Huang Gai had several wounds on their bodies, but none of them were fatal.

The deputy general at the side looked at the scene in shock.

Although Zhou Yu and his men rushed out, they lost 40,000 men in less than an hour.

"The Prime Minister is indeed a god. He makes decisions thousands of miles away and kills tens of thousands of people with a wave of his hand. Prime Minister, I wonder what the name of this formation of yours is?"

"Bagua array!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he waved the command flag.

The Bagua Formation returned to its original state.

"Sun Zhou Mu, why are you leaving? Come on, I have good wine waiting for you. I am not afraid to tell you that there is no one in my city right now. As long as you can break through my formation and enter the city, this city will be yours."

Zhuge Liang's words made Sun Jian grit his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

"Since Governor Sun is not coming, we will go back. But if it happens again, don't blame me. I will eat you all in one go. I won't mind letting you take over the entire Jiaozhou."

Once everyone entered the city, everyone was very excited.

People standing outside may not feel anything, but they can feel a lot inside the Bagua formation.

When Gan Ning and others entered the formation, Zhang Liao and others saw with their own eyes that the originally clear weather suddenly became windy and foggy. No one could see anything at that moment, and there was only fog all around.

But soon, their vision regained clarity, but they were the only ones that had clarity, because they could see that Zhou Yu and his people could hardly open their eyes, apparently because of the wind and sand.

This miraculous situation was so strange that even experienced people like them were somewhat confused about how it was achieved.

"Although Sun Jian will not come to cause trouble in the short term, you cannot let your guard down. Return to your respective positions and be ready to take action at any time."

"Yes!"

At this time, when Zhang Liao and others looked at Zhuge Liang, there was not only admiration in their eyes, but also fear.

If someone like Zhuge Liang was his enemy on the battlefield, Zhang Liao felt that apart from dying in battle to repay the emperor's kindness, he could not think of any other way to defeat Zhuge Liang.

This time Sun Jian was really scared. The fear of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation once again shrouded Sun Jian's heart. This time Sun Jian was obedient. He didn't intend to pay attention to Cao Cao's urging. Whoever wanted to face Zhuge Liang now could go. He would not go anyway.

Sun Jian was honest and gave Gu Rubing a lot of time. Until two days later, when Gu Rubing arrived, Sun Jian did not take action again.

Upon learning that Gu Rubing was coming back, Zhuge Liang immediately led everyone out of the city to welcome him.

"My Lord, you are finally back."

Gu Rubing nodded.

Zhuge Liang then told Gu Rubing everything that had happened here.

Upon hearing the Bagua Formation, Gu Rubing subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang.

However, Gu Rubing did not delve into the matter further, nor did he enter the city. Instead, he came to the outside of Sun Jian's military camp accompanied by several legendary generals.

Upon hearing that Gu Rubing had come, Zhou Yu and others immediately came to the outside of the camp and looked at Gu Rubing vigilantly.

Zhou Yu and others who were about to say something chose to remain silent after seeing the five legendary generals behind Gu Rubing.

Not long after, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and others came to Gu Rubing.

"King Lie, how are you?"

"Okay, but I didn't expect that, Governor Sun, you would be so impatient and choose to side with Cao Cao so quickly?"
