Chapter 47 Jia Xu presents the Fire Bull Formation Ji Hao: Thank you for the beef!
"It's fake, it must be fake!" Even a wise man like Jia Xu lost his composure at this moment, shaking his head and saying, "No one can build such a high wall in just one month. It must be Ji Chengtian's trick!"

It’s not that he has a bad brain, but the smarter a person is, the more he understands the ins and outs of this.

Even if there were hundreds of thousands of people mining rocks in the mountains, they might not be able to build such a high wall within a month. And how many people did Ji Hao have?
Besides, there were no mountains nearby where Ji Hao built the city.

There is only a hundred miles of plains!

The mountains of Langya County are all in Dongguan and on Liu Bei's side!

"But what is he doing it for?"

"If it's fake, then make it real; if it's real, then make it fake!" Jia Xu thought for a while and finally said, "If he deliberately built a fake city and let us know it's fake, to lure us to attack and then set traps and ambushes, will the lord be fooled?"

When these words were spoken, Liu Bei was immediately shocked.

What's more, he really had the idea of ​​leading the army to "attack the city" directly.

The more Ji Hao bluffed, the more he wanted to tear off his disguise.

However, what if this was a ruse within a ruse?

"Ah, you guys have confused me with all your talk!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, "Should we fight or not? You can't just stand by knowing it's fake, right?"

After holding out for a month, Zhang Fei was already getting anxious.

The same goes for Guan Yu.

His arrow wound had healed, but Liu Bei was still reluctant to start the war.

"We can't fight, but we can't not fight either!" said Jia Xu.

Liu Bei was puzzled by this and said, "Please give me some advice, sir!"

What does it mean to beat someone even if you don't want to?
"We have to fight. They have exposed such a big flaw. There is no reason for us not to seize it!" Jia Xu said, "But we can't use people to fight. Otherwise, we will fall into a trap and suffer the consequences."

These words left both Liu Bei and Guan Yu confused.

Zhang Fei glared and said, "If we don't use humans, are we going to use ghosts?"

"No!" Jia Xu smiled, looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, have you ever heard of the 'Fire Bull Formation'?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "But during the Warring States Period, Tian Dan used the 'fire bull' strategy to defeat Yan?"

During the Warring States Period, Yue Yi led the coalition forces of five countries to attack Qi and captured more than 70 cities along the way. However, after that, the "Jimo City" guarded by Tian Dan held out for two years, making it impossible for Yue Yi to conquer it.

What is this concept?
Zhuge Liang often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, who were top-notch figures that he recognized!
Later, Le Yi was captured because of the suspicion of the King of Yan, and was replaced by Qi Jie. Tian Dan saw an opportunity, so he pretended to surrender to paralyze the enemy, and then used a thousand cows, tied sharp knives to their horns, and poured kerosene on their tails.

They lit the cows' tails and let the cows charge towards the Yan army.

The outcome of the battle was decided in one go, and the nearly extinct State of Qi was revived!
"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded and said, "My lord, you have the whole of Xuzhou at your back, so it's no problem to find two thousand cows. We can tie sharp knives to the cows' horns, cover their eyes, and then pour kerosene on their tails. We can light them at night, let the cows break through the false city wall, break through the enemy's traps, and then we can attack with our army and decide the outcome in one fell swoop!"

This plan made Zhang Fei couldn't help but say: "Brilliant!"

Guan Yu also nodded slightly.

Liu Bei gave the order directly: "Mi Fang, go and prepare immediately. I will prepare 3,000 cattle. We must defeat Ji Chengtian in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fang, who had just come over, immediately started buying cattle.

On the other side, after Ji Hao had built the city wall, he was completely relieved. He was having a banquet with Cao Cao, Zhao Yun and others. He raised a glass teacup and said, "Drinking is prohibited during wartime. Let's use tea instead of wine. Cheers!"

After saying that, he raised a glass of "iced black tea" and drank it in one gulp.

The others also drank it in one gulp.

"Haha, Liu Bei would never have dreamed that we would build a city wall that separates most of Langya County in just one month!" said Cao Cao.

Zhao Yun said, "Will they think it's fake and come to attack the city?" "Of course, and I guess they will attack the city tonight!" Guo Jia secretly replaced the tea in front of him with fruit wine, and said while drinking, "But they probably won't use manpower to fight, they will use some strange tactics!"

Although I couldn't guess Jia Xu's "Fire Bull Formation", I could still guess the other party's general idea.

Because if it were him, he wouldn't attack directly with people.

"What tricks will they use?"

"Won't you know if you take a look?" Ji Hao said.

The place where they held the banquet was on top of the city gate, the highest point of the newly built city wall. Standing up, he could directly see the movements in Langya City in front of him.

Because in his hand, there is a magical weapon called "Clairvoyance".

It's a telescope.

How can we not have a telescope if the glass has been burned?

Not to mention the telescope, he even made a simple "microscope" and fooled Hua Tuo who was passing by Qingzhou, so much so that he could not walk and stayed in Qingzhou!
"Hey, how come they got so many cows out?"

Although it was night and I couldn't see clearly, I could still see it.

Liu Bei lit a torch.

"The cow's eyes are covered with cloth, sharp knives are tied to its horns, reeds are tied to its tail and kerosene is poured on it... They are trying to play the fire bull formation!" After Ji Hao learned of the other party's intentions, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up.

Others also came to the top of the city wall to watch the show.

They didn't even organize a defense and just watched Liu Bei and his men light a fire and let the cattle rush straight towards the city wall.

At the beginning, the noise was really loud.

The sound of three thousand cows running wildly was deafening, louder than that of tens of thousands of troops.

However, even bigger noise was yet to come: the blindfolded cows could not see the city walls and ran forward wildly, bumping into the walls one by one, making dull bang sounds one after another.

However, the city wall was as solid as a rock and remained unmoved.

On the other side, Guan and Zhang each led 10,000 soldiers and were ready to charge at any time.

Liu Bei stood on the top of the city wall, ready to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, thinking to himself: "As long as the fake city is broken... Wait, what's going on?"

By the light of the fire, he saw from afar that the herd of cattle had stopped at the edge of the city wall.

There was no breakthrough at all.

He hurried down the city and took a closer look, and found that the three thousand cows were almost all killed by the city wall. The city wall was still intact, and there were even many soldiers surrounding the top of the city.

They held "cloud-seeking hooks" in their hands, lowered them from the city wall, and hooked the dead cows one by one.

Pulling up.

It was as if there was no enemy at all, and there was no defense at all.

On the top of the city wall, Ji Hao even built a bonfire and was roasting a cow with his magic weapon "Panlong Qisha Gun".

Sprinkling seasonings, he chatted and laughed with Cao Cao, Zhao Yun and others.

After seeing Liu Bei, he turned around and said, "Thank you! Farm cattle are precious. Without you, my soldiers wouldn't have any beef to eat!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the three armies, who had been well prepared, also shouted in unison.

"Thank you, King Kaoshan, for the beef!"
