Cao Liang shook his head and said, "No, besides, how could I cross Xingshi Mountain to the back of the mountain and set fires, unless I have wings." ”

Xiahou Ba was stunned, this fire attack plan was originally thought up by Cao Liang, and others couldn't think of it, if Cao Liang didn't send someone to set fire to the back mountain, how did the fire in the back mountain burn, could it be that the Shu people themselves put it?

Cao Liang quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, from here, you can see the whole picture of the back mountain of Xingshi Mountain, but no, the fire set by the Wei army has burned past the top of the mountain at the moment, and is spreading towards the direction of the back mountain, and the back mountain is also lit A raging fire has ignited the entire back mountain, and the fire is not inferior to the fire in the front mountain.

And these two fires, separated by a green strip, the fire in the front mountain is spreading and encroaching on this green.

Cao Liang only glanced at it, and he understood, masters, there are masters hidden in this Shu army.

The most effective way to deal with forest fires is to establish a fire isolation zone, that is, to clear the trees and igniting objects in the direction of the spread of the fire, and when the fire passes through here, there is nothing to burn, and it will naturally be extinguished.

The most terrible thing about forest fires is their spread, as long as they are a forest, once a fire breaks out, it often burns down the entire woodland.

The fire isolation zone is to prevent the spread of the fire with the minimum cost, the general fire isolation zone is manually cleaned out, depending on the different fire conditions, generally tens of meters or hundreds of meters, the fire burns here, there is no combustible, the fire can no longer spread, the fire can be controlled.

Obviously, some people in the Shu army understand this truth, so they will put a fire on the back mountain in advance, and burn the woodland of the back mountain, in the case of the same east wind, the fire in the back mountain is also spreading to the west, so that after the fire in the back mountain, the fire in the front mountain will burn there, and it will be unsustainable.

In fact, under normal circumstances, manual felling is used to create a barrier, so as to prevent the spread of forest fires again.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Shu army to consider this issue, so it will adopt the most simple, crude and trouble-saving method to create an isolation belt.

Cao Liang frowned, in this way, there were variables in seizing Xingshi Mountain, originally according to Cao Liang's design, the fire burned there, and the Shu army retreated there, and the Wei army followed behind the fire head, controlling the place where the fire had burned, so that the Shu army retreated again and again, until it withdrew from Xingshi Mountain, and the fire could no longer burn to the plain area and automatically extinguished, and the Wei army could control the entire Xingshi Mountain along the fire.

But now the Wei army's capture of Qianshan has become a foregone conclusion, and due to the establishment of a fire isolation zone in Houshan, the Shu army can enter the isolation zone when the fire in Qianshan burns in front of the isolation zone, and there is no need to withdraw from Houshan.

In this way, after the Shu army lost the front mountain, it could continue to occupy the back mountain, which was equivalent to Cao Liang's task being completed halfway, and the front mountain of Xingshi Mountain was taken down, and the back mountain was burned out by the Shu army itself, and the other half of Cao Liang's task was no longer able to complete it.

Seeing Xiahou Ba's overjoyed appearance, Cao Liang couldn't help but remind him: "Xiahou Protector Don't be happy too early, the fire in the back mountain is not what you imagined, this is the fire set by the Shu people themselves, after the fire, the fire in the front mountain can no longer burn to the back mountain, so the Shu army's move is deliberately to keep the position in the back mountain." ”

Xiahou Ba suddenly realized, he didn't understand how the back mountain could catch fire before, but when he heard Cao Liang's explanation, he understood.

Originally, when he first saw the fire in the back mountain, Xiahou Ba was extremely happy, thinking that if the fire was attacked before and after, the Wei army would be trapped in the fire and all of them would be burned to death.

In fact, Xiahou Ba didn't think of a common sense, this fire must be achieved with the help of the wind, if the fire wants to be attacked before and after, it must blow the east wind and the west wind at the same time, and this is obviously completely impossible, at the moment it is blowing the east wind, so the direction of the spread of the fire is west.

If Xiahou Ba looked at it again at this moment, he really found that the fire in the back mountain was spreading towards the west, and the black area after the fire could be vaguely seen.

It seems that what Cao Liang said is not wrong at all, the fire in the back mountain is indeed put by the Shu people themselves, in this way, the Shu army will definitely stick to the back mountain of Xingshi Mountain, and the Wei army's hope of taking all of Xingshi Mountain by fire is in vain.

Xiahou Ba immediately issued an order to the vanguard battalion to prepare for battle, and the vanguard battalion unsheathed its sword, arrows ready to fly, and was on alert, ready to enter the battle at any time.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Liu Min almost trotted all the way, came straight to Wang Ping, and said breathlessly: "Wang Dudu, what's going on?" ”

"What's going on?" Wang Ping asked calmly.

Liu Min pointed to the raging fire in the back mountain and said: "Wang Dudu has set fire to the woodland in the back mountain, so where is the back road of our army?" Isn't it possible that we are all going to be trapped here? ”

Wang Ping said in a deep voice: "What kind of back road do you want?" People are in the position, and a certain oath lives and dies with Xingshi Mountain! ”

Liu Min was shocked by Wang Ping's generous momentum, Wang Ping's words were indeed domineering, people were in the position, and they swore to live and die together in Xingshi Mountain, but can the fire burning in the front mountain be blocked back with an oath?

Liu Min smiled bitterly, if he fought with the enemy, he would also have such blood and courage, but in the face of raging fire, flesh and blood were indeed unable to resist.

"Governor, the last general ......" Liu Min said bitterly.

Wang Ping smiled slightly and said: "It's true that a certain and Xingshi Mountain will coexist and die, but it will not let the soldiers make senseless sacrifices, Liu Hujun, please look here." ”

As he spoke, Wang Ping raised his hand and pointed to the burned woodland behind him.

The original lush mountain forest is gone, and where the fire spreads, it is already a scorched earth, and only sporadic flames continue to burn.

Liu Min's eyes widened, and he seemed to understand what was coming.

Wang Ping said: "Put it to death and live later, the burned mountain forest will definitely not be burned a second time, so when the fire in the front mountain arrives here, the woodland in the back mountain will be burned first, and then when the fire in the front mountain is burned, our army can retreat to this burned place, so that we can save our lives and keep our positions safe." ”

Liu Min was full of emotion in his heart, to be honest, originally they all looked down on Wang Ping, who couldn't read a few big characters, thinking that he had no knowledge and no talent, and only relied on brute force to build his merits, but now it seems that everyone is very wrong.
