It took a long time for the generals to make a decision.

Chai Zaiyong first said: "If Guo joins the army's plan is successful, it is indeed possible to break the enemy, but there are many conditions that are difficult to control, as long as one condition is not matched, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of the fire attack plan!" ”

Guo Chongtao smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's why I said it next, don't expect too much." ”

Wang Maozhang nodded and said: "No matter what, we always have to try, if we don't even try, just go back to Jiangling like this, then the king will be blamed, and he will not be responsible!" ”

Immediately, he said with an excited expression: "Moreover, maybe our fire attack can really work?" After Kou Yanqing learned that the main force of our army had retreated, he would inevitably relax his guard and lead his army to pursue, he definitely did not expect that our army would ambush their army of more than 30,000 people with 3,000! ”

"Attacking it unprepared and taking it by surprise is the key to breaking the enemy!"

When he said this, everyone also felt that there was a certain degree of feasibility, and immediately began to discuss specific plans.

……

The next day, the Wu army began to withdraw, and the officers and men of the various units covered each other and retreated.

It is not an easy task to retreat in front of the enemy army, and if you do not get taken advantage of by the enemy army, it will lead to a great defeat.

So retreating at this time, everyone was careful to guard against the Liang army suddenly rushing out.

On the Liang side, in the face of the sudden retreat of the Wu army, the generals of the Liang army were naturally cheerful, and many of them proposed to pursue the enemy army.

However, for these suggestions, Kou Yanqing refused.

After so many days of fighting, the Wu army has certainly reached the end of the crossbow, but why is it not the case with the Liang army?

Even the soldiers of the Liang army were even more tired than the Wu army, after all, these soldiers of the Liang army were just a rabble of temporary patchwork from various states, and they were naturally inferior to the elite of the forbidden army of the Wu army in terms of physical strength and training.

Of course, the more important point is that at this time, the Shu army was still entangled with Qin Pei, and it would take at least two or three days to rush here to join the Liang army.

In this case, it stands to reason that there is no need for the Wu army to withdraw in such a hurry, and if it takes two more days, it may be able to break through the camp of the Liang army?

But the Wu army did not have such a choice, but decided to withdraw now.

Kou Yanqing felt that the enemy might have some other plans, so he did not rush to send troops to pursue.

After waiting for a day, the scouts determined that the main force of the Wu army was already far away, and Kou Yanqing ordered the pursuit.

He first divided his troops to recover Changlin, and then went south to Jingmen.

However, in this process, he has always been cautious and careful to keep a sufficient distance from the Wu army, so as not to be counterattacked by the Wu army.

wanted to rush up to get benefits, but at the same time worried about being bitten by Wu Jun, this was Kou Yanqing's mood at this time.

In this contradictory mood, Liang Jun slowly moved south, gradually approaching Jingmen.

What they didn't know was that behind a hillside not far from them, an army of three thousand men was hiding there at this time.

After several days of continuous contact, Liang Jun's vigilance has finally dropped a lot.

At this point, they didn't even know that the enemy army was hiding not far from them.

"The enemy's front army is approaching, should we do it?" Looking at the enemy troops who were getting closer and closer, the commander asked Wu Qun a little anxiously.

"No hurry! After the front army passes, let's ambush the enemy's Chinese army! Zhu Qianyou poked his head out of the grass and took a look, and quickly retracted it.

Finally seized the opportunity, how could he be willing to only attack the front army?

Moreover, if only the front army is attacked, the enemy's Chinese army can easily come up and rescue the front army at that time.

Therefore, either do not move, or carry out a fire attack on the enemy's main force of the Chinese army, in order to achieve the effect of breaking the enemy in one fell swoop.

He turned his head to look behind him, where stood ten Suzhou cannons, which were the weapons that would be used to ignite the fire.

After a long time, all the front troops of the Liang army passed through, and the existence of ambushes was not discovered.

After a long time, the Chinese army of the Liang army arrived.

Tens of thousands of troops stretched for miles, marching with astonishing momentum.

However, Zhu Qianyou was not shocked by its momentum, but calmly waited for the time to come.

"What's the wind doing right now?" He turned his head to the subordinate next to him and asked.

"To the north!" The general sensed the direction of the wind and quickly replied.

"Good!" Zhu Qianyou's face showed joy.

The wind is blowing north, which means that after a short period of fire, the fire will spread to the north, which is naturally the best news.

But then, Zhu Qianyou looked up at the sky with some worry, and there were already a few dark clouds floating in the sky.

"I just hope it doesn't rain next!" There was a worried look on his face.

After a while, Zhu Qianyou felt that the time was almost up, and immediately gave the order to attack.

"Launch!"

"Launch!"

With an order, the ten Suzhou cannons made a loud noise, threw the ignited oil bombs one by one, and smashed them far away at the Liang army on the march.

"Boom"!

These oil bombs are actually made of sturdy clay pots, filled with a large amount of fuel, and then ignited and fired.

After hitting the ground, the clay pot cracked, and the fuel inside spilled out, quickly igniting the grass and trees on the ground that had been somewhat dry due to the sunny days.

In an instant, the raging fire quickly ignited, engulfing the surrounding Liang army soldiers.

"Enemy raid! Prepare quickly! ”

"It's a fire attack, hurry up and put out the fire!"

……

The soldiers of the Liang army were suddenly in chaos, and those officers were even more panicked and gave their own orders.

"Archers ready...... Put! ”

Behind the hillside, the Wu army did not stop the pace of attack because of the confusion of the Liang army.

After the first round of attacks by the Suzhou artillery, the rocket attack of the crossbowmen followed.

It is impossible for them to launch a direct attack until the enemy forces are completely disrupted; What's more, with such a big fire, they can't do it even if they want to attack directly.

The only thing they could do at this point was to try to make the fire as fierce as possible.

As long as the fire is fierce enough, it can continue to burn in this wilderness far from the river, and even if the Liang army is not burned to death, it will be swallowed up by the fire to consume all its morale.

At that time, if the Wu army launched an attack again, it would be as easy to win as if it were a bag to pick up something.

"Let's make the fire stronger!" Zhu Qianyou shouted wildly in his heart.

Fire, no matter what the era, is an extremely powerful weapon, especially in this period, no human power can resist in the face of raging fire.

The panicked Liang army, before the rushing fire, had only one option: to turn around and flee; However, at this time, the south wind was blowing, and the fire burned more rapidly by taking advantage of the wind, and soon spread in the Liang army brigade.

Is this the day to die Liang Jun?

Kou Yanqing looked up to the sky and sighed, his luck was better, he was far away from the place where the fire started, so he was not trapped by the fire; However, the front was surrounded by fire, but there were as many as tens of thousands of Liang troops.

What's more, the fire was still raging at this time, and if they didn't evacuate quickly, they feared that the casualties would be even worse.

Fire? What to save?

There is no river nearby, so you can't even get water to fight the fire.

Digging a barrier? That's no use; Because the fire was too big, and the wind was also too strong, and the ground was relatively dry due to the sunny days for several days, the grass and trees could easily be lit, but once they were lit, they were not easy to extinguish.

At such times, it is not possible to extinguish the fire unless it rains heavily.

"Yes, it's raining heavily!" Kou Yanqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at the sky.

In the sky, there are dark clouds, and it can rain at any time.

However, when it will rain is something that no one can say.

If it doesn't rain all the time and the fire spreads, they will be fine outside the fire area, and those soldiers who are besieged by the fire will have to be explained here.

Kou Yanqing was worried, but he was helpless.

At this moment, it really rained in the sky!

As if he heard Kou Yanqing's request, there was no rain in the sky for several days, and it really began to rain lightly, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

And the fire, which was still raging before, was gradually extinguished in this majestic rain.

This is Providence, Providence wants to rain, Providence wants to extinguish the fire, and no one can stop it!

For a while, the morale of the Liang army was greatly boosted, and even the heavens were helping them, what else could they not defeat?

Gradually, the chaotic queue also gradually calmed down and began to re-array; The soldiers, who had been desperate in the fire, burst into laughter one by one.

……

Different from the ecstasy of the Liang army, on the Wu army's side, in the face of the sudden heavy rain, in addition to lamenting the injustice of the heavens with pale faces, they could only flee quickly.

Zhu Qianyou knew that since it rained heavily from the sky and extinguished such a fire, the morale of the Liang army would inevitably be greatly boosted next; If they don't slip away at this time, when Liang Jun reacts, it will be difficult for them to escape.

Therefore, Zhu Qianyou made a quick decision and ordered to abandon those Suzhou cannons and other large equipment, and fled directly from the battlefield.

In the north of Jingmen County, Wang Maozhang and other generals who were anxiously waiting for news suddenly understood what was happening after hearing bursts of thunder in the distance, and were silent one by one.

"Let's go!"

After a long time, Wang Maozhang spoke: "Heavy rain from the sky, this is something that no one expected. It seems that Liang Junhe should have avoided this catastrophe! Let's go, let's go and pick up Zhu Qianyou and them! ”

He knew that the plan to defeat the Liang army this time had completely failed, and the convergence of the Liang army and the Shu army was inevitable.

And once the two armies join forces to move south, it is not up to these generals to decide whether Yang Wu will choose to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, choose to temporarily withdraw the army, or choose to further mobilize reinforcements from the rear.

However, this time it was supposed to be an opportunity for a big victory, but even the heavens were on the side of the Liang army, so when the Liang army and the Shu army converged, would they still have a chance to defeat each other?

Thinking of this, the hearts of all the generals were a little heavy.
