The Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Zhang Chao circled around the Zhuge camp several times, but still failed to find a breakthrough, the city was four or five meters high, and it was impossible to climb into it without a cloud ladder.

No matter how strong the war horse is, it can only go around in circles.

If it is a wooden gate and tent, then Xiliang Tie can kill on the spot with a round of rockets.

But now, you can only stand outside the city to watch the play, attack, no equipment, retreat, no, it will definitely be ridiculed by Dongbohou Jiang Zhuo, not to mention, the 150,000 army is not a small number, a mobilization of a time, it takes a lot of grain, grass and baggage, if you withdraw rashly, even if Dongbohou Jiangzhuo does not hold accountable, then what about the royal family of the Snow Country, they only look at the results, and they are unbearable process.

A failure is a failure, and there is no need to make excuses.

"Cavalry turned into foot soldiers, and even with ropes and ladders, they had to break through the enemy camp. ”

In desperation, Zhang Chao had to give up his war horse and rely on the tactics of the sea of people to launch an attack on the Zhuge camp, even if he suffered heavy losses, as long as he could take the camp, it was worth it.

But Xiliang's crossbow arrows were blocked by the shields of the Jiuli clan, and Zhuge Liang also brought Long Yun with him on this trip, as well as the Shenji Battalion under her command.

The Dragon Qiang Wind Arrow has a long range and strong lethality, and the arrow can stick an adult in place.

This scene is quite bloody, it is easy to disintegrate the opponent's psychological defense line, so that it can collapse without a fight, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not a brave and warlike army, they are similar to the Linzi army, they are all recruits who have not experienced a big war.

Even if Zhang Chao swung his sword behind his back to kill the deserters, it would be of no avail, and the 150,000-strong army was scattered, like a flooding river, and they couldn't stop it if they wanted to.

The Longqiang tribe also has its own iron cavalry, and they are good at riding and archery, chasing and defeating the army, but they always stay within the range of crossbow arrows with them, but they will not get too close, so as not to give the Xiliang iron cavalry a chance to fight back.

The distance is kept very appropriately, just five hundred meters, and the crossbow arrows can shoot to the defeated army of Xiliang, and it is enough to retreat.

In this way, the Longqiang Iron Cavalry chased after the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and forced them into the deep mountains before stopping.

The mountain road is steep, and the Xiliang Iron Rider lives under this terrain all the year round, so he is quite skilled in riding, while the Longqiang Iron Rider lives in the vast prairie and is not suitable for this kind of mountain warfare at all.

That's why Zhuge Liang ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again on a later date.

And this sudden change made Zhang Chao very keenly aware of it, and he simply placed the camp at the foot of the steep mountain, which was more conducive to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight, and for the Longqiang Iron Cavalry, the riding difficulty coefficient was extremely high, and they did not dare to act rashly.

Zhang Chao's camp is halfway up the mountain, but the whole mountain is covered with grass and trees, which is very dense and can cover the camp, but this also leaves a hidden danger for the Xiliang army.

Zhuge Liang discovered this, and immediately asked the Tubai tribe to dig tunnels and bury a large amount of gunpowder and saltpeter in the ground.

When he did not launch an offensive immediately, he was waiting for the east wind, if the east wind blows, it will be able to burn from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has no way to retreat.

On the other hand, Dongbohou Jiang Zhuoqin led an army of 300,000 to surround Qinling Town, trying to eat Han Xin, and in the face of such heavy pressure, Han Xin's troops were mostly light cavalry, and they could not meet it head-on.

Fortunately, Han Xin had already planted a tunnel underground, allowing Jiang Zhuo to drill into the void, leaving an empty Qinling Town for the Snow Country Army.

Then Suo Jian light cavalry blocked the exit out of Qinling Town, which was a gourd mouth, and only tens of thousands of elite soldiers could besiege Dongbohou's 300,000 army inside.

Han Xin was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting, waiting for Dong Bohou's Snow Country army to run out of ammunition and food before attacking.

After all, as long as you hold the mouth of the gourd now, you can trap Dong Bohou.

Close combat, at this time it is a mountainous area, compared with the foot soldiers, the light cavalry is not advantageous, waiting for the rabbit, waiting for work, is the best choice.

During this period, Dong Bohou tried to break through the siege, but ultimately failed.

The gourd mouth is too small, his troops can't be used, and there is no way to give full play to the advantage of numbers, not to mention, the strongest Jiuli shield soldiers of the Qin State Army, like a city wall, indestructible, standing there, like a high wall, no matter if you have thousands of troops and horses, you don't want to take a step in the past.

Several charges made Dong Bohou completely desperate, so he had to fly the pigeon to pass the book to Zhang Chao, wanting him to put some pressure on Han Xin behind his back, so that the Snow Country army could fight his way out of the encirclement.

After receiving Dong Bohou's request for help, Zhang Chao finally chose to evacuate justifiably.

The 150,000 army immediately packed their bags and prepared to leave Yangpo, according to Zhang Chao's tactics, as long as they ran long distances for one day, they could go around the back of Han Xin's army, and if they were attacked by the enemy, they could completely annihilate the Qin army.

The idea is very beautiful, but there is no way to implement it, in front of Zhang Chao, there is Zhuge Liang's 100,000 Yanzhou army, it is absolutely impossible for him to give Zhang Chao a chance to leave.

Therefore, Zhang Chao chose to quietly rectify the soldiers on a dark and windy night, planning to leave at night, which seemed to be seamless, but all this was under the prying eyes of the dark whistle, and Zhuge Liang immediately took measures.

That night, the east wind swept the sunny slope, the Longqiang arrow array laid down at the foot of the mountain, shot the rocket to the top of the mountain, and burned the tent of the Xiliang Iron Horse, which was originally just a small fire, but because it touched the gunpowder, it burned instantly, and the raging flames burned through the mountain peak.

Assisted by the wind, it spreads from the base of the mountain to the summit.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry wanted to retreat, but it was too late, the crossbow arrows in the arrow array outside were dense like rain, and they couldn't break out of the encirclement at all, so they could only be forced to retreat to the top of the mountain, but the fire was burning there.

Moreover, the dragon and qiang arrow array above his head swept by without listening, and there was nowhere to escape from the place where the peak passed.

In the end, the howitzer battalion tailed and bombarded the peak, and Zhang Chao was hit off the cliff by a shell on the spot, and he fell to pieces.

The rest of the soldiers were in disarray, either jumping off cliffs or being burned to death.

150,000 Xiliang iron rides, vanished, and the top of the mountain was always filled with the smell of barbecue.

After Zhuge Liang's triumph, he did not return to Yongguan immediately, and immediately rushed to Qinling Town after a short repair.

Although Han Xin surrounded the gap, without the support of long-range firepower, it was impossible for him to swallow Dongbohou in one bite, so he could only surround but not attack, waiting for Zhuge Liang to destroy the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and in the alliance, with the help of the power of artillery and arrow arrays, all the Snow Country troops were wiped out.

The Longqiang Arrow Array and the howitzer battalion quickly set up a position outside the camp, as long as Zhuge Liang and Han Xin gave an order, Qinling Town would become a pool of blood, and the end might be even worse than Zhang Chao.

To be on the safe side, Zhuge Liang had the Tubai tribe bury gunpowder and saltpeter in the ground to ensure that nothing went wrong.
