Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1078 All-out Attack
Liu He asked, "In Yuanzhi's opinion, how can this formation be broken?"

Xu Shu pointed to the general platform where Cao Ren was, which was the center of the formation. He said, "First, send out three armies to attack the Sheng, Jing, and Kai gates at the same time, so that they will be overwhelmed and unable to change their positions in time. Second, order General Zhao to lead his troops to break into the center of the enemy formation and attack Cao Ren directly to disrupt his formation. Then, with the cooperation of the inside and the outside, this formation will surely be broken."

"Okay." Liu He immediately ordered: "Send a message to my second brother, order him to divide the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry into three groups and attack the enemy formation."

Guan Yu, who was still riding fast in the rear, was immediately filled with fighting spirit when he received the military order.

"Cao Ren, you are such a coward, you have some tricks, but you still think you can defy the will of Heaven? Soldiers, follow me and break through the formation!"

Guan Yu personally led the troops into the Sheng Gate, Qin Chu and Yan Quan led the troops into the Jing Gate, Qian Ning and Zhou Yuan led the troops into the Kai Gate. Although the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry were heavy cavalry, they could sprint at full speed. They quickly rushed over the distance of only ten miles and plunged into the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao, "My lord, Liu He has a counselor named Xu Shu. He is very knowledgeable in formations. I'm afraid the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation won't be able to hold out for long against the combined attack of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun."

Cao Cao looked unconcerned. "It doesn't matter. I didn't expect the Eight Gates Formation to do much. Liu Bei's army is chasing closely behind. As long as the Eight Gates Formation can hold out for half an hour, when Qingxu's troops arrive from the rear, Liu He will be defeated."

"My lord, you are wise." Cheng Yu bowed and said no more.

Everyone looked confident of victory, except Jia Xu, who frowned slightly and glanced towards Liu He and the direction of the billowing dust raised by Liu Bei's army in the distance. There seemed to be a cloud of doubt between his brows, but he still didn't utter a word.

As the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry also charged into the formation, Cao Ren's expression became somewhat solemn. He waved his command flags repeatedly, and the soldiers in the formation moved their positions one after another, but they seemed to be in a somewhat flustered state.

"System prompt: Cao Ren triggers the special skill 'Iron Wall', his command is increased by 3 points, and his force and intelligence are increased by 2 points each."

"Zi Lian, I'm here to help you."

Xiahou Yuan led thousands of cavalry archers and harassed Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others with bows and arrows from the periphery of the formation.

Cui Jun asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you tell the Third General about this matter? The Third General has great prestige. If the Second General and the other soldiers knew that he was killed by Cao, they would surely fight bravely and fearlessly to avenge him."

Liu He's mood has now calmed down a bit compared to the beginning.

"No need for that. Now that this grand plan that has been planned for more than ten years has been launched, the execution of Cao the thief is an inevitable outcome. Second, fourth, fifth and third brothers have a special relationship with each other. Once they learn of this, they will inevitably act impulsively, especially second and fifth brothers..."

He looked into the distance, as if thinking of something in the past.

"When I was in Langdiao County, General Xu commented that my second brother was stubborn but self-reliant, my third brother was brave but without strategy, my fourth brother was strategic but indecisive, and my fifth brother was smart but didn't use his intelligence. Over the years, I have tried to train him, but to no avail. Although my second brother has read a lot over the years and is now a famous general with both wisdom and courage, the more this happens, the more he regards all the heroes in the world as worthless."

"Needless to say, my third brother has rashly gone into battle this time... Alas..."

"Although my fourth brother is brave and resourceful, and his ability to command troops is not inferior to Gao Shun, he often fails to make decisions on the spot, and thus misses good opportunities. Now, he is also working hard for the position of Crown Prince Zheng'er, which has led to years of fighting, but his military achievements are often inferior to Gao Shun."

"Fifth brother is a lucky general, but because of this, he always relies on his luck and knowledge of military tactics, but he throws them away and rushes forward with his two hammers and boundless luck." "If I tell them about the death of third brother at this time, at least second and fifth brothers will rush straight to Cao thief, and they will have nothing else in their minds except revenge. Wouldn't it be a big mistake? It's not too late to talk about it after the war."

When Cui Jun saw Liu He's gloomy expression, he realized that he had hurt the emperor, so he quickly apologized and kept silent.

As he was speaking, Xun You suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, General Dameng has arrived. He wants to go to the battle together. Do you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Liu He looked back and saw Da Meng waving at him excitedly. The machete in his hand, which was already stained with blood, looked particularly dazzling.

"No need. There will be a battle later that he will need to deal with. Bring some food over and let him rest for a while while waiting for orders."

Cao Cao drew his sword and pointed it forward: "The time has come, all the soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Almost everyone, including the two strategists Xi Zhong and Cheng Yu, followed Cao Cao out. Only Jia Xu and Guo Jia stayed behind under the protection of hundreds of personal guards.

Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu and asked, "Why do you look so sad, Mr. Wenhe? Our army is about to win, so we should be happy."

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "Happy? Haha, but as long as I can save my life, I will be content."

Guo Jia's face changed. "Why do you say that? Do you think Liu He has any other tricks up his sleeve? He dared to attack again because he was sure that he could quickly break through our formation in front of Hulao Pass and escape the pincer attack of Liu Bei's army. He definitely did not anticipate the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. I really can't imagine how Liu He could deal with it."

Jia Xu nodded first, then quickly shook his head, leaving Guo Jia a little confused: "What does this mean?"

Jia Xu said: "I just feel that something is wrong, but I haven't figured out the reason. Otherwise, I would have given you advice. But I think that although Liu He and Cheng Liang are like brothers, they shouldn't be so stupid after encountering this change."

"Even if you just have doubts, you should tell the lord."

"Haha..." Jia Xu pointed at Cao Cao's back and said, "My lord has been fighting against Liu He for many years, with few victories. From Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, he has been defeated step by step. Now he has finally encountered such a good opportunity to turn things around. Look at my lord's expression. How can he listen to me if I try to dissuade him with such false words? If I am wrong, I will inevitably be charged with disturbing the morale of the army."

Guo Jia felt that Jia Xu's attitude of self-preservation was a little inappropriate. He opened his mouth but said nothing. He just stared at Cao Cao and prayed silently in his heart.

"System prompt: Cao Cao personally leads the army, triggering the special skill 'Villain'. His own command and intelligence are increased by 3 points each, and the generals under his command have an additional 1 point of military strength."

"Cao Cao's basic command is 101 points, and his basic intelligence is 94 points. Affected by his special skills, his current comprehensive command is 104 points, and his comprehensive intelligence is 97 points."

Cao Cao's personal participation in the battle and his command greatly boosted the morale of more than 100,000 Cao troops, including those from Jingzhou, and the defense of Hulao Pass became noticeably more difficult.

The next chapter will reveal what Liu He's ultimate move, which he has been planning for more than a decade and designed specifically for this war, is. Readers can guess first.
