Chapter 438: Decisive Battle!
The 150,000 troops led by Li Cunxiao must pass through the inaccessible canyon if they want to reach Wushan safely.
Prior to this, Zhao Yun had such experience.
During the sneak attack on the capital of Liangguo, he marched in winter, traveled a long distance, and worked hard to reach the vicinity of Lingzhou City.
And the route that Zhuge Liang arranged for Li Cunxiao was a hundred times more sinister than the dangerous road that Zhao Yun exercised.
When Li Cunxiao walked into the canyon, he looked at the towering peaks on both sides of the river, and he had a feeling of daunting.
I don't know how many soldiers will be buried on the road on this trip.
If the Tang Army were to arrange a force here, I was afraid that the fate that awaited him would be a dead end.
The endless peaks of the mountain overhead are like a sharp sword, exuding a murderous aura that makes people palpitate.
Looking ahead, the deep valley reveals mystery and unknown.
The steep and deep strata on both sides, like hundreds of millions of books, are stacked on top of each other.
In the depths of the winding Grand Canyon, there are ancient trees and jungles that cover the sky, and no one knows what strange things will be in it.
Li Cunxiao began to order the army into the valley.
If you want to reach Wushan safely, there is no other road except this canyon.
Zhao Changqing scolded in front of the Tang army camp for two days, and the army under Li Cunxiao also crossed difficulties and obstacles and marched for two days.
In just these two days, basically, more than 10,000 Pao Ze brothers have died in the canyon.
Evening.
In the Wei military camp.
Zhao Changqing was worried, "Prime Minister, save filial piety, they should have crossed the canyon at this moment and are about to arrive at Wushan, right?"
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Just now, the scout came to report that there was no obvious vision in the Tang army's camp, which shows that they have not yet started to act." Calculate the footsteps, no matter how hard the journey is, it should be here at this moment. ”
Zhao Changqing took a long breath, "Order the three armies to cook now, I have a hunch that tonight must be the coming of a decisive battle!"
In the camp of the Don Army.
Zhao Hao's task was to raid the Wei army after the early morning and start a decisive battle with them.
This coincides with Zhao Changqing's time.
Li Cunxiao has already seen Wushan.
There are several bright spots on the top of the mountain.
It was the place where the rear army of the Don Army was stationed.
All the grain of the Tang Army is here.
"It was really not a wise choice to take a detour to Wushan, but fortunately, we arrived. ”
Li Cunxiao said to an adjutant general beside him.
The adjutant nodded when he heard this, "General, do you want to set fire to it now?"
Li Cunxiao shook his head, "Don't worry, wait until the night is darker." ”
The moon is dark and the wind is high, so it is suitable for killing people and setting fires.
Wushan is mostly a mountain forest.
The rainy season has passed.
The weather is dry.
Zhao Hao had thought before that after the rainy season ended, the grain and grass of the Houjun would be transferred and could not be in the mountains.
But when I think about it, the decisive battle is coming soon, and whether to turn around or not is actually of little significance.
It was this mistake that made him regret it for the rest of his life.
Hai time.
Li Cunxiao began to act.
Countless rockets were fired into the mountains.
There are many trees in Wushan, and the weather is dry, so there is a raging fire in an instant.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger.
Uncontrollably large.
The whole mountain seemed to be set on fire.
The Tang troops on the top of the hill were all stupefied by the fire.
The fire gradually burned to the top of the mountain, and it was too late for them to put out the fire at this time.
And it's all fire under the mountain.
The only way that awaits them is to be burned alive.
"Ben will know why the prime minister likes to use fire. ”
Li Cunxiao looked at the fires all over the mountains and sighed.
"Why?" said the lieutenant general.
Li Cunxiao said: "Because once and for all!"
The lieutenant nodded, "That's true." ”
A fire will wipe out all the enemy troops guarding the grain and grass.
It doesn't get much more convenient than that.
In the camp of the Don Army.
All the soldiers were stunned by the fire in the rear.
"What is that place?"
"Looking at the location, it seems to be Wushan. ”
"Wushan, isn't our grain and grass there?"
"A whole mountain has been burned, and that's our grain and grass!"
“”
They were all talking about the fire.
It's too ruthless.
Zhao Hao, who was playing chess with Deng Qi in the barracks, felt that there was some noise outside the camp, and as soon as he wanted to get up and go to take a look, a scout came to report, "Marshal, Wushan fire!"
Deng Qi was taken aback.
Zhao Hao frowned, "Are you sure it's the Wushan Fire?"
The scout nodded in conviction.
Zhao Hao suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Deng Qi was quick and helped him, "Marshal"
Deng Qi didn't know what to say at the moment, because this matter was really too sudden.
Zhao Hao smiled miserably: "I thought that the old man would lead the army to fight again, and he should sweep the world with invincible assets, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still lost to Zhuge Liang." ”
"How can you see that this is Zhuge Liang's conspiracy?" Deng Qi wondered.
Zhao Hao said: "Do you think that among the Wei army, apart from Zhuge Liang, who is still good at defeating the enemy with fire? Now that the army is in turmoil, I am afraid that it is no longer able to return to the sky." ”
Deng Qi seemed to think of something, and said bluntly: "No, we haven't lost yet!"
Zhao Hao asked, "What do you mean?"
Deng Qi hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, it's okay to break the cauldron and sink the boat!"
Zhao Hao understood in an instant.
He gathered the three armies, so that the Kowloon general stabilized the order of the scene, before the thousands of troops, he said loudly: "Soldiers, you must have seen the fire of Wushan just now, yes, this is the order of Ben Shuai himself! Because tonight is the beginning of the decisive battle, if we win, the grain and grass of the Wei army will be ours, if we are defeated, then we don't have to eat, because our lives are gone, what to eat! So, you should know now, what to do?"
One of the soldiers was the first to speak: "Defeat the Wei army and win the war!"
After that, the whole army was chanting.
Deafening.
"Deng Qi, use all the remaining grain and grass as food for the soldiers, and let the soldiers have a full meal before the decisive battle!" Zhao Hao commanded.
Deng Qi clenched his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!"
If you don't do anything, you have no choice.
And the Wei army is also gathering all the troops that can be assembled, and the Armageddon is about to begin.
When the Wei army approached the Tang camp, the soldiers of their three armies had just finished a full meal and were wielding their blades to kill the Wei army.
At the same time, Li Cunxiao, who was directly inserted into the rear of the enemy army, led 150,000 heavily armored iron cavalry and began to attack the rear of the Tang army.
The Wei army is equivalent to a flanking attack from the left and right.
But what Zhao Changqing didn't expect was that looking at the enemy's appearance, he was not panicked at all because the grain and grass were burned!
"Prime Minister, what's going on?" Regarding this matter, Zhao Changqing can be said to be quite incomprehensible.
Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, until now, we have no way to retreat!"
"Three armies! Beat the drums! Prepare to charge!"
No matter what the reason is, at this time, Zhao Changqing also understands that there is only a desperate battle with the enemy.
This battle will be decided!
