"The enemy is coming, what should I do?"

A soldier ran forward in a panic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen has no master of the six gods, and the soldiers under Lu Bu's command are all brave men in battle, and the morale of an ordinary soldier can be compared with that of the elite Baiwei elite soldiers, but there is a gap in weapons and equipment. Fighting a war depends on excellent armor and sharp swords, and it is inseparable from the will to fight with the soldiers. With a huge number of advantages, you can make up for the gap in equipment on the ground.

"What about sir?"

"I have a strategy to break the enemy, stand by and look for concealment!" Zhuge Liang said immediately.

"Sir, don't stay for a long time, Lu Bu's army will chase after you immediately, and sooner or later your army will be discovered." A Nishikawa general said.

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Go? Go back is Hanzhong, our lone army will be encircled, I have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, don't worry. ”

When Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu chased forward, they suddenly glanced at each other, both of them were generals who had been in the sand for a long time, and they observed the subtle changes in the environment very carefully. Zhang Xiu's palm was raised: "Isn't it too quiet?" ”

"Look, there are still birds hovering in the forest and dare not return to their nests, and a certain dare to conclude that there must be ambushes here."

Huang Zhong's eyes swept over the forest inch by inch, and in the gray sky, birds circled and chirped: "Scouts will find out how many enemy troops there are immediately." ”

In the snow, Chen Zhi saw that Lu Bu's soldiers were stationary, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, it has been discovered." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "My original intention was to let the other army find out." ”

"But we have few soldiers, in case the other party kills, how can we retreat?"

"Wait, you don't need a single soldier to retreat from the enemy." Zhuge Liang's self-confidence infected the Xichuan generals, and the nervous and timid mood slowly quieted down.

After waiting for a while, the scouts sent by Zhang Xiu gradually approached, and a sharp arrow broke the silence with a sharp sound.

"Kill!"

Zhuge Liang led it, and Zhuge Liang brought back the soldiers of Dixichuan and the Yangping Pass army to take the lead in killing, and the shouts rang out in an instant.

"Fight!" Huang Zhong raised his knife and killed it, but was caught by Zhang Xiu: "The old general is slow, the number of enemy troops is unknown, this must be the enemy army saw through the ambush of our army, so he killed it." The combat strength of the soldiers of Xichuan also dares to take the initiative to attack, unless the enemy is several times larger than me. ”

"How can you run away without a fight? Fight fast. Huang Zhong turned around and said angrily. There are already a lot of soldiers who have died today, and the old general, please put the lives of the soldiers first. First join forces with the general of the town army, and then discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy. Moreover, the army will not be supplied with a lone army, only a few days later, the army will have no food to survive, and General Lu Meng of Hanzhong will also lead the army to attack before and after, and the army will collapse without a fight. ”

"General Zhang Xiu has some truth in what he said, and he will withdraw immediately."

Before the soldiers under Zhuge Liang's command approached, the pursuers retreated like a tide.

"Chase!"

Zhuge Liang sent soldiers to keep a safe distance, and always hung behind Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong's soldiers at an unfast and slow speed, shouting constantly, forcing them back for more than ten miles.

"Collect all the corpses along the way." Zhuge Liang walked all the way, and saw the corpses of Xichuan soldiers all over the ground, and he thought about it.

Arriving at Lishiling, Zhuge Liang ordered the whole army to change into the clothes of Chang'an soldiers, and lined up the frozen corpses in a row, arranged in a circle around the fire, and under the light, the red light reflected on the faces of the dead soldiers, which looked lifelike and motionless, showing the fighting spirit of not fearing life and death.

"So many people?" Huang Zhong and Gao Shun took advantage of the cover of darkness to observe Zhuge Liang's camp from the other side. Huang Zhong's eyesight was excellent, and he clearly saw the 'soldiers' of Zhuge Liang's camp.

"The old general looked carefully, don't be heavy on the enemy's bluff plan." Gao Shun reminded.

Huang Zhong knew what Gao Shun was worried about, and said with a smile: "General Zhenjun, rest assured, it's a human face, not a straw man in armor and pretending." I can't be mistaken. ”

General Gao Shun muttered suspiciously: "How can there be so many people? Roughly speaking, there are no less than 10,000 soldiers on the other side, and I still have some suspicions that it is a suspicious tactic. ”

Huang Zhong once again concentrated his energy and looked carefully.

Zhuge Liang saw the torches flashing on the opposite side of the mountain, and knew that Gao Shun must have sent someone out to inquire about the military situation.

"Quick, the soldiers are shaking through the crowd, yes, come back, don't stop."

The Sichuan army walked back and forth among the dead crowd, and the entire camp looked outstanding and in full swing.

Huang Zhong saw it clearly, and suddenly said in a lost voice: "I saw a lupine scarf soldier, and next to him was Chen Dao, the general of the enemy army who escaped today. Could this person be the Zhuge Liang that the lord often mentions? ”

Gao Shun suddenly understood: "No wonder the enemy's strength has suddenly increased greatly, it seems that Zhuge Liang must have surrendered the Yangping Guanshou army." ”

"I'll just say that Huo Jun is unreliable, and the general shouldn't be entrusted with a heavy task. Now that Yangping Pass is lost, our army is alone, and the supply and baggage have been cut off, and the way back has been cut off, and the army's heart is turbulent. Now even the soldiers have surrendered to Xichuan, which is simply a shame for my heroic soldiers in Chang'an. Several senior elders in the army complained.

"Hugh is nonsense. The Lord has his own verdict on this matter. In any case, I don't believe that Huo Jun will surrender to the enemy at this time, the lord is very important to him, whether he surrenders to Liu Zhang or Liu Bei, it is impossible to be more important than now, and the families of the defenders of Yangping Pass are all in Chang'an. And Chang'an has never treated the soldiers' families badly, and the soldiers will not all surrender if they are loyal to Chang'an, so I am sure that there must be fraud in this. Gao Shun became more and more affirmative.

"Tonight, step up to the front-line reconnaissance force of Jianguan, I suspect that Zhuge Liang will smuggle back to Jianguan to join Liu Bei." Gao Shun gave the final order and retreated to the camp.

A line of torches disappeared from behind the mountain in the distance, and Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh, tonight is a fool, and the battle will be more fierce tomorrow.

Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he still thought that tonight was a sleepless night: "Mr. Gaojian, the other army is suspicious now, and the last general thinks that he should quickly retreat back to Jianguan to join forces with the emperor's uncle, and then make plans." ”

"Retreat? There is no way back. Gao Shun's return route was cut off by us, and our return route was also cut off by Gao Shun. We don't know what kind of ambush is on the rear route, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu and other veterans of a hundred battles, there are Xu Shu in the army, and they are frustrated as a first-class mastermind, even if we fail to find out the reality of our army tonight, as long as we hold the way back of our army, our army will still be defeated. Although Zhuge Liang said quietly, but the Xichuan soldiers listened attentively, it was like thunder on the ground, and they exploded in an instant, and they panicked.

"Don't panic." Zhuge Liang smiled lightly: "Since the other army can see through the biggest shortcomings of our army, why don't we avoid the truth and deploy beyond the plan of the other army." ”

"Sir, help, I don't know what Mr. has planned, as long as Mr. saves me, it is equal to fire and water, I am willing to follow Mr. to the death!" A Nishikawa soldier said. Lei Tong, the chief general of Xichuan, was secretly unhappy when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do, seeing Zhuge Liang gradually rein in the army's heart.

"Set up camp on the spot and guard the camp for three days, I will definitely have a way to kill Lu Bu's army and Gao Shun's army without leaving a piece of armor."
