Chapter 272: Pick up a leak

Zhuge Ke had a detailed combat plan for this ambush operation, and he used the terrain of Wuqiangkou to formulate a set of tactics for closing the door and beating dogs, that is, after the Wei army entered the ambush circle, he sent the most elite troops of the Wu army to cut off the back road of the Wei army, and used the geographical characteristics of Wuqiangkou surrounded by mountains on three sides to annihilate the Wei army in Wuqiangkou in one fell swoop.

This was originally the territory of Wu, after Zhuge Ke was stationed in Anhui City, he had been to Wuqiangkou many times to investigate, and he was very familiar with the terrain here, where to set up an ambush, where to block, where to send reinforcements, Zhuge Ke has a detailed layout, this is Zhuge Ke's home field, taking advantage of the time and place, he can play the strongest combat power.

The reason why Zhuge Ke set up an ambush in Wuqiangkou was deliberate, the plain area from Yiyang to Jiashi was not in his scope of consideration, the difficulty of ambushing on the plain was too great, and the Wei army had strong cavalry, and the probability of the Wu army winning was basically small.

And close to the area of the Ghost Sorrow Stream, the reinforcements of the Wei army can arrive at any time, which is not conducive to ambushes.

So after thinking about it again, Zhuge Ke still chose the location of the ambush in Wuqiangkou, although the mountains here are not very dangerous, and the valley of the pass is also a little wide, but the ambush operation is sudden and hidden, as long as the Wu army can trap the people and vehicles of the Wei army's grain transportation team at the bottom of the valley, with the strong melee ability of the Danyang soldiers, it is enough to end the battle in one or two hours, even if the Wei army elsewhere wants to rescue, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and the water cannot quench the thirst of the near.

In addition, the terrain conditions without a strong mouth are average, ordinary people will not consider setting up an ambush here, and the Wei army is obviously not worried about encountering an ambush, they are focused on the march and hurrying, unaware that danger has quietly descended.

Zhuge Ke patiently waited for all the Wei troops to enter the encirclement, and then calmly ordered an attack.

The first to do it was the Wu army that was ambushed in Wuqiang's mouth, under the command of Tang Zhi, and after receiving the military order, he ordered the Wu army to drop the stones and rolling logs that had been prepared.

The stones and logs were placed on the slope beforehand, tied with thick ropes, and when attacking, the ropes were cut and the stones and logs rolled down the mountain.

Due to the steep slope of the mountain, when these stones and logs roll down, the speed is extremely fast, and the deafening roar is found to be like a landslide and a landslide.

The pass in the depths of Wuqiangkou is extremely narrow, when these stones and rolling logs fall, the direction of the Wei army's advance is sealed in the blink of an eye, and a grain cart is just in the area where the rolling logs and stones fall, and before the coachman can react, the boulders and logs have rolled down, and the grain cart and the coachman can't dodge, they are directly pressed to the bottom, the grain cart is torn apart, and the flesh and blood of the people are blurred.

The purpose of the Wu army was to block the Wei army's advance path first, and these rolling logs and stones were piled up like a small mountain, several zhang high, and the path of advance was completely sealed at once.

In a hurry, the vanguard of the Wei army was shocked and bloodless, and hurriedly reported the situation to Ren Ran and Cao Liang.

This was only the first attack launched by the Wu army, and when the stones and rolling logs were thrown in front, the Wu army in the back, under the leadership of Liuzan, rushed down from the hillside and cut off the rear road of the Wei army.

Wuqiangkou is in the shape of a huge trumpet, near the mouth of the valley, almost as wide as a mile, and the further you go, the valley shrinks sharply, and it is only a dozen zhang wide in the area where Wu Jun put wood and stone.

Wu Jun pinched his head and removed his tail, which was equivalent to sealing more than 10,000 Wei troops who entered Wuqiangkou at once, as if they were wrapping dumplings.

The first thing the Wu army did was this end and the end, Zhuge Ke was to use the lightning speed to block the front and back roads without a strong mouth, and then slowly and methodically take down the turtle in the urn, anyway, the Wei army was trapped in the valley, called the sky should not be, called the earth and the earth are not spiritual, Zhuge Ke has enough patience to divide and eat up the more than 10,000 Wei soldiers.

At the same time, he ordered that the bounty on Cao Liang was still valid, and as long as Cao Liang was captured or beheaded, he could still get the huge bounty he had announced.

The entire Wu army is boiling at the moment, you must know that last time Cao Liang hid in Anfeng City, which was strongly defended like a rock, just like that, the soldiers of the Wu army still bravely took the lead and persevered to launch round after round of attacks on Anfeng City, and they still did not give up the attack despite the piles of corpses, which shows how tempting the huge reward is.

And now Cao Liang is trapped in a valley without a strong mouth, not only does it not have a strong city wall like Anfeng City, but there is not even a way to retreat, which means that Cao Liang is a fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered.

After all, there is only one person who can capture Cao Liang, so the Wu army is red-eyed and wants to be the one who captures Cao Liang's head, so after the attack order was issued, the Wu soldiers rushed to the bottom of the mountain, all wanting to fight for this first achievement.

It stands to reason that when dealing with the enemy forces in the encirclement, especially when they are condescending, the attacking side can completely take advantage of the terrain to carry out long-range attacks, so that it can effectively shoot and kill the enemy troops, and can reduce the casualties of its own troops, and at the same time can break the fighting spirit of the enemy army.

At the beginning, the attack was launched into hand-to-hand combat, so that the chances of both sides were equal, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and in hand-to-hand combat, who could fight to the end was the real winner.

Zhuge Ke's prior arrangement was indeed to prepare for a long-range attack with bows and arrows after encircling the Wei army, but as soon as the military order was given, these Wu soldiers didn't have the idea of slowing down at all, just like a 100-meter sprint, they rushed down in one breath, and rushed directly into the battle formation of the Wei army.

The archers of the Wu army behind were at a loss with bows and arrows, and their own men and horses had already rushed up, so if they were shooting arrows at this time, wouldn't they hurt their own people by mistake?

For Cao Liang's head, as for being so desperate?

However, these archers thought about it, or hurriedly packed up their bows and arrows, picked up their knives and guns, and joined the ranks of the attack, Cao Liang's head is equivalent to exchanging for glory and wealth that can not be used up in several lifetimes, not only can they fight less for half a lifetime, but their children and grandchildren will not be able to enjoy it.

Although it is a little late to strike now, but in this chaotic army, who can know who has a chance, and those who may be left behind can also pick up a leak?
