After Xiahou Yuan shouted, the standard rain of arrows opened the way, and shot more than 100 people directly at Liu Jun's forward.

If during the battle of the foggy night, how could he see that Xiahou Yuan was angry and wanted to kill him in order to achieve the effect of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, then this time, it was as fierce as Zhang Fei also shouted at the first time: "It's a plan, retreat quickly!" ”

With the experience of the previous battle, Zhang Fei already knew that he would not be able to kill Xiahou Yuan in a short period of time.

Moreover, last time, because of his own thoughts, he lost five or six thousand people, and even Zhang Fei understood that now is not the time to be reckless.

Xiahou Yuan can appear here, and those crossbowmen who are standing in positions and sword and axe players who rush out in response to the sound all show that all this is originally a scam.

Since it is deliberately fortified, the best option is to retreat immediately.

In fact, this was also emphasized by Zhuge Liang before the expedition.

Although this battle was lost, Zhang Fei's rating of Zhuge Liang was raised again.

This time, if it weren't for his repeated request for a small group of troops to enter the village to test and respond outside the village, but according to his own and his eldest brother's original idea, then the whole army would have entered the village, and the consequences would have made people shudder.

Cao Jun chased, Liu Jun ran, they couldn't escape.

At the exit of the stockade, a large number of Cao troops appeared on both sides, and they all hugged the jar one by one, wanting to block this way of life.

"Quick! Rush forward, you can't let them close! Although Liu Bei, who was in charge of answering outside the village, did not see the defeated army coming, and did not even hear the voice of the people asking for help inside, he immediately understood what they wanted to do when he saw their actions.

If they were not mistaken, the jar they were holding was full of tung oil, and they would have poured enough tung oil at this outlet and lit it, thus forming a line of fire and blocking this retreat.

Once they succeed, the Jingzhou army inside will have no way to live, and even the brave 10,000-strong enemy like Zhang Fei will not be able to continue to turn to other Zhaikou to break through.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was also prepared, and the distance was close enough, and the Lu Ma he instigated, with an arm that was different from ordinary people, brandished a male and female double-strand sword and rushed forward to slash the flesh and blood.

The lord personally participated in the battle, which was undoubtedly a morale boost, and Liu Jun also rushed up and slashed the ring head knife in his hand at Cao Jun on both sides.

After all, these Cao soldiers are holding altars in their arms, and they can't hold weapons, so it's still easy to kill.

It can be seen that the original fan-shaped army formation is in chaos, and the cramped entrance is crowded, and it is strange that Zhang Fei will not stampede when he leads the defeated troops to break through.

At the moment, Liu Bei doesn't know what's going on inside, but these Cao Jun's actions have already told him the answer, and it is obvious that this time, Guo Jia has calculated again.

"Flash quickly, surround the perimeter, and don't let the people in behind rush in again!" Liu Bei turned his horse's head and shouted at the crowd.

Fortunately, there was no Cao army approaching on the periphery, otherwise it would have been possible to make dumplings for more than 10,000 people at this time.

After all, the Cao army responsible for blocking the exit with a line of fire was not much, and it was quickly cleared.

Looking at the altars all over the ground, Liu Bei planned from his heart, wanting to cut off Cao Jun's pursuers.

Before he could give the order, he heard the sound of fighting in the stockade approaching.

Turning his head to look, he could even see people running towards here in a panic.

It's too late!

Liu Bei immediately shouted: "The soldiers listened to the order, and after our army rushed out, they would retreat to Fukong Mountain!" ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Jun shouted loudly, but everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Now everyone knows what the situation is, this is an ambush, and our army has been defeated.

The military spirit is quietly loosening.

However, they could not leave immediately, and Liu Bei was not sure if there were any other troops besides the Cao army, which was responsible for setting the fire, would come to block the gap.

For example, does Zhang He from Dongzhai also bring people here?

The soldiers swallowed their saliva, staring at the front, and the hands holding the ring-headed knife were also oozing with a layer of sweat.

Finally, the original rear army became the current front army, and finally rushed out.

After breaking through the narrow walled mouth, Liu Jun scattered like a flood.

Can you run?

It's just that Liu Bei hasn't given the order yet, so they can't move.

"Lord, you can withdraw!" Someone couldn't hold back and shouted.

"Death to the cowardly!" Liu Bei didn't look back, but his angry roar was enough for the soldiers behind him to hear his decision clearly.

If they hadn't seen Zhang Fei, Liu Bei wouldn't have left, and they shouldn't have realized this.

I saw it, I saw Zhang Fei.

He was at the back of the line.

Behind him, there was a black head, and Cao Jun, who wriggled like an ant colony, rushed towards them from all directions, intending to encircle them.

"Retire!" Seeing that Zhang Fei's distance would not go wrong, Liu Bei finally shouted out the withdrawal order that everyone was looking forward to.

The army began to flee with their lives.

The slope where Guo Jia's carriage was located was not very high, but it was enough to overlook the battlefield.

Around the Chinese military tent, although Cao Jun rushed suddenly and killed in time, Zhang Fei did not hesitate to flee at all, which also caused their casualties not to be too many.

Through the light of the fire in the village, it can be known by visual inspection that it is just the loss of more than 1,000 people.

On the contrary, the number of chases and killings is greater, after all, Cao Jun still has some cavalry.

It's a pity that the firing soldiers arranged by himself failed to succeed.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zhuge Liang is not so easy to make money, with thousands of people rushing to the village, if he really retreats, it is not too late to fully pursue and kill, if there is an ambush, there are also people to respond."

With this person here, Liu Bei is no longer a soft persimmon from his predecessor. ”

For the fledgling Zhuge Liang, a military advisor with no experience in big wars, Guo Jia admires it in his heart for being able to comprehend the art of war and the battlefield to this extent.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have rushed in desperately a long time ago.

"However, whether you can get through it or not is too early to say" Guo Jia's eyes were half-narrowed, and he forced his tired body to stare at the floating mountain in front of him.

During the battle of the foggy night, in fact, Zhang Fei didn't shout that the floating mountain responded, and Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to attack the mountain rashly.

The reason is very simple, the number of Liu troops is too small, and they still have sufficient military strength to set up an ambush to block the enemy in the floating mountain.

But this time it was different.

Setting up this plan to lure the enemy can be regarded as a conspiracy, they are either indifferent, and once they move, they will definitely come out.

Therefore, Cao Jun would be relieved and bold to chase and kill, and did not give up because they escaped to the floating mountain.

Moreover, long before Liu Beijun arrived, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Heke had personally led people to climb the floating mountain several times, and they knew the route and terrain of the mountain very well.

"Brothers, rush up and kill into Liu Jun's village, those who enter the village first will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and those who kill Liu Bei will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and they will be crowned captain!" At the foot of the floating mountain, Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly as he jumped off his horse, stood his eyebrow knife on the ground, pulled out the sword at his waist and rushed forward.

The main general took the lead, and he was also the division of great victory, and Cao Jun rushed up one by one with a roar.

Although defensive equipment such as rolling stones and sandalwood had already been prepared on the mountain, Cao Jun's pursuit was close to his body, and Zhuge Liang was not allowed to order an attack at all in the gap between the two armies.

Unless he wants to shoot indiscriminately.

But he was still standing on the hill, looking calmly at the bottom of the mountain.

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, except for the sound of fighting and wailing mixed with the night wind.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were also running up in embarrassment, and even the war horse could only slap it hard at the back of the buttocks, let it find its own way up the mountain, in such terrain, the result of riding a horse was that everyone and horses were killed.

"Big brother, Xiahou Pifu is chasing after him, why don't you take advantage of the terrain and be condescending to fight with him!" Zhang Fei was dragged like this, he felt too wretched, and he couldn't stand it.

Liu Bei panted while crawling, "Third brother, at this moment, the soldiers are scattered and fleeing, how to organize the army to fight again, only after returning to the military village, I hope that the soldiers and horses left for Kong Ming can buy us some time to recuperate!" ”

Fight back?

Don't be kidding, now you try to shout, the brothers are dead, fight with Cao Jun, it's strange that someone listens to you.

Now, the only hope is that the two or three thousand people left behind in the village can resist with the fortifications of the village, and then he can organize these defeated soldiers to do a life-and-death mobilization.

Regret it, God knows that with such a tentative attack, they will launch a full-scale counteroffensive.

In this situation, the morale of the army has collapsed, and Liu Bei also knows very well that even if the soldiers and horses who stay in the village can buy time for him to unite the army's spirit and fight to the death, the cost is immeasurable.

Even, the wounded soldiers and horsemen had to go into battle to fight hard, so that it was possible to force the morale-boosting Cao army back.

Even if they retreated, they would not have the strength to continue the attack.

This time, the plan to recover Nanjun was completely over, and Liu Bei only felt heartache.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, but in a thought, he watched it miscarry.

God bless the man.

At the hill, Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and listened attentively.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and with a wave of his feather fan, he shouted, "Do it!" ”

Immediately after, a lieutenant behind him threw the torch in his hand towards a deep pit in front of him.

As soon as the torch entered the pit, a fire dragon was ignited, and the tongue of fire leaped high, and under the light of the fire, a neat row of crossbowmen had already set up their bows and wound them.

They dipped the arrowhead into the fire pit, lit the arrow and raised it at a forty-five degree angle, and put!

Whoosh!

In the night, more than a thousand rockets were fired in unison, like stars falling on the mountainside.

More than a dozen unlucky Cao Jun were shot and rolled down the mountain.

However, more rockets fell in the dry weeds, and the fire was spreading.

Liu Jun seemed to feel that the fire was coming too slowly, and spared no effort to shoot the second and third showers of arrows.

"It's not good, retreat, retreat! Hurry up and mingle gold! "Xiahou Yuan was originally at the forefront.

Seeing that he was about to climb the last steep slope, he could kill the fleeing Liu Jun in the flat ground.

The rockets that swept overhead sent endless chills through his excited heart.

Liu Jun is about to set fire to the mountain, although it is not autumn and winter, but under the rockets of this density, it will not take long for the forest to be ignited in pieces.

At that time, not only will the group of Cao soldiers who climb the mountain become ashes in the furnace, but even they will be blocked by the fire.

In essence, Zhuge Liang chose the same method as Guo Jia.

The only difference is that one is used to block the retreat, and the other is used to block the pursuers.

With the sonorous sound of the gong and the rockets passing overhead, Cao Jun began to run back with his life.

At this time, the mountainside had already begun to spread fires, although it was not enough to engulf the Cao army in the middle, but some mountain roads had been blocked by the fire.

As a last resort, Cao Jun even jumped hard and jumped over the high tongue of fire.

It's just that if you're lucky, you can unload and roll, and if you're unlucky, you can hear a crisp click, break your foot bones, and lie on the ground wow.

At the same time, there was a loud rumbling sound from the mountain.

Endless rolling stones and sassalwood tumbled in, and the movement was so great that it was like a landslide cracking the ground.

Cao Jun, who was a little slower, was hit by a rolling stone larger than a grinding disc and spit out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground and convulsing.

The reversal of the tide of battle came unexpectedly.

Cao Jun, who originally pursued and killed with the dream of getting rich overnight, was like a rolling gourd, and the fire was not enough to engulf them immediately, but he couldn't withstand the double blow of horror in his heart and a landslide, and began to be completely chaotic.

Some people even fled quickly despite the stampede.

"Zhuge Liang, live up to the name of Wolong." Inside the carriage, Guo Jia clutched the curtain tightly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would arrange such a backhand.

Although it was hundreds of zhang away, as soon as the rocket came out, he immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intentions.

Originally, his plan was to lead Liu Jundu into the stockade, and then cut off his way back with a fire to wipe them out at once.

Even if Zhuge Liang sensed it, it didn't hurt to leave someone to answer.

Once the defeat of the army is complete, you only need to let Xiahou Yuan lead people to rush up and compete with them.

After a round, Zhang He's soldiers and horses should also arrive.

The Cao army, which had a great victory, encountered some rolling stones and trees when he went up the mountain, and he was unable to return to the sky when he was defeated by Liu Jun, who fled on the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang still has such a hand, and he has a good time.

A look of appreciation appeared in Guo Jia's eyes, "What a good opponent, unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to fight him again."

After saying this, regret seems to overshadow appreciation.

After a long sigh, he no longer had the strength to support him, the whites of his eyes rolled, and he fainted.

On the floating mountain, Liu Jun was lying panting heavily, some were in the village, some were on the grass outside the village, and some were even sobbing.

With such a part, don't say that it is to buy a little time for Liu Bei, even to send him a few hours, but I am afraid that I will not be able to condense the general's heart enough to fight hand-to-hand with Cao Jun who rushed up the mountain and fight to the death.

Liu Bei's own breathing was also very short.

Half of it is tired, and half of it is afraid.

Zhuge Liang walked over quickly, "Lord, you're not hurt, are you?" ”

Liu Bei gasped and waved his hand, and after signaling that he was fine, he took the water bladder he handed over and drank it in a big gulp.

Finally, after a long sigh of relief, a sense of relaxation for the rest of his life appeared on his face.

"Kong Ming, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that we would all be buried on this floating mountain this time." When he said this, Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

At that time, he also thought that he would take away all the soldiers and horses left behind, after all, there were only two or three thousand people, what could they do, if they really wanted to fight with you, it wouldn't make much difference.

Now he understands that the number of soldiers and the lack of soldiers are not necessarily proportional to the direct effect they have, it depends on who uses them.

"The lord praised it falsely, and he was ashamed that he failed to see through Guo Jia's plan to lure the enemy, resulting in a great defeat for our army." Zhuge Liang said distressedly.

"Eh, military advisor, I, Zhang Fei is a rough man, I have offended you a lot in the past, and today I can see your methods."

Zhang Fei's strength is obviously not comparable to Liu Bei, he rushed for a while, and eagerly climbed up the mountain, but he was not panting, he walked in front of Zhuge Liang, clasped his fists, and saluted respectfully: "What my eldest brother said is right, if it is not a military advisor today, none of these people on the floating mountain can escape, the military advisor is really Wolong, from now on, I Zhang Fei will never obey the military orders of the military division!" ”

This time, Zhang Fei was completely convinced by Zhuge Liang.

Although he was right, he did not have insight into Guo Jia's plan.

But when you think about it, first of all, he was the only one who did not advocate going to the camp, and secondly, judging from the situation at the time, it seemed that it was meaningless even if he did not agree.

While supporting this operation, he also put forward two demands, the first is to divide troops into Cao Village, and the second is to leave more than 2,000 people for him to guard the village.

These two steps, missing any of them, will be a situation from which they will never recover.

Zhang Fei really felt that Liu Bei invited back from the thatched house, it was really a sleeping dragon.

"General Zhang's words are serious."

Zhuge Liang still waved his hand modestly, and did not breathe a sigh of relief because he finally gained some prestige in the army, but said in a deep voice: "Lord, General Zhang, although this time I burned the Cao army, but in terms of casualties, I am afraid that our army is still heavier."

Moreover, the morale of the army is uneven, and the current difficulties have not yet been overcome. ”

As soon as he reminded him like this, Liu Bei suddenly bowed his head, and Zhang Fei angrily stepped forward and kicked at the two lying sergeants, "Get up!" What is it like, is this how I trained you when I was in Changsha? ”

"Yide!"

Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed him, "The brothers escaped death, it is inevitable that this will be the case, now that Cao Jun has retreated, let them breathe a sigh of relief." ”

One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.

Liu Bei didn't dare to say anything about the soldiers, they looked like this, and he was the first to blame.

"Kong Ming, next, you just have to calm down and think about countermeasures, I believe you will definitely be able to defeat Guo Jia." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with light in his eyes.

Perhaps, he is really not as good as Lin Mo, at least judging from his current performance, it seems that he is indeed slightly inferior.

But ah, this man saved him, saved the three armies.

Liu Bei also saw hope again.

It's just a pity that I lost thousands of troops tonight, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses I can prepare for the next battle.

Even

Fifteen thousand, I don't have it.
