Chapter 411: The Power of Zhuge

When Zhuge Liang saw the enemy rushing to kill, he retreated to the rear.

At the moment, his own plans are going very well.

At the same time as seducing Zuo Buqun's main force, he asked Chen Qingzhi to copy his hometown.

This made the already not wealthy Tang Army even worse.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zuo Buqun is angry and ashamed.

Zhuge Liang adopted the tactics of fighting and retreating.

Its purpose was to hold the main offensive of the Tang army.

Gain time for Chen Qingzhi's strategic detour.

Zuo Buqun asked the rear army to outflank Chen Qingzhi, hoping that it would be too late at this moment.

Before he led the army to confront Zhuge Liang, he had communicated with Deng and Xia.

Let them send a large army to flank Zhuge Liang left and right.

Previously, they didn't know anything about Zhuge Liang's arrival, but they didn't dare to underestimate him.

If Zhuge Liang can be left behind in today's battle, then no matter what they do, or what price they pay, they will not hesitate to do it.

Unfortunately, the combined forces of Deng and Xia were ambushed by Zhao Changqing when they passed through a valley.

At this time, it was already spring, and the weather was dry.

The entire valley was set on fire by Zhao Changqing.

The raging flames trapped all the 100,000 troops of Deng and Xia.

Deng Qi and Xia Ji did not come here in person, but the 100,000 army was buried in the fire, which was more thrilling than the two of them experiencing the catastrophe in person.

If it was with the death of these 100,000 troops, there would naturally be nothing to say.

But it would be a sin to let 100,000 troops die because of their own mistakes or decision-making problems at the strategic level.

So, after the two of them learned the news, they did not hesitate and immediately led the army to the rescue.

But the two of them never thought that Zhao Changqing didn't mean this at all, and wanted to leave the 100,000 army here.

The main purpose of his trip was to relieve the pressure on Zhuge Liang and allow them to retreat unharmed when fighting against Zuo Buqun's troops.

Zhao Changqing personally led the troops, and he was not afraid of the combined forces of Deng and Xia at all.

Before the two of them walked to the valley, they saw the monstrous fire in front of them, and their hearts were already cold.

Of these 100,000 horses, I am afraid that more than half of them will be lost.

They looked at the place where the Wei army was in ambush, frowned tightly, and ordered the army to advance in the direction of the valley.

They had no way to solve the monstrous fire, so they could only take the lead in solving the ambush on the valley.

But when they went up the valley, they found that Zhao Changqing had already left.

After that, they exhausted all means of extinguishing the fire before the remaining army trapped by the fire escaped.

100,000 troops, more than half lost.

This fire plan is Zhuge Liang's strategy.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang's troops slowly retreated, Zuo Buqun chased after him, and when he reached an open space, Chen Qingzhi's troops, who had retreated, were actually ambushed here for a long time.

Suddenly, the arrows that covered the sky and the sun flew towards the Tang army's camp.

At this time, Zuo Buqun knew that he had been tricked.

And it's still a chain plan, one ring is tightly linked to the other, and there is no effective way to prevent the tragedy from happening.

More than 10,000 arrows, the Tang soldiers fell batch after batch.

After waves of arrows flew towards the Tang army, Zhuge Liang ordered the troops to counterattack.

Not in the retreat.

But at this time, Zuo Buqun's troops did not have the strength to fight at all, and he was still fantasizing that at this tense moment, reinforcements would arrive in time.

can

Fantasy is fantasy after all.

In this battle, the Wei army won a great victory.

When Zuo Buqun retreated in embarrassment, Zhuge Liang was still laughing in the rear and laughing: "The so-called Nine Dragons will be nothing more than this, a group of people who have lost their reputation!"

Murder and heartbreaking!

Zuo Buqun was about to vomit blood in anger.

After they returned to the Wei army camp, Zhao Changqing had been waiting for them for a long time.

He was the first to return to the camp in triumph.

His task is also relatively simple, it is nothing more than to set a fire.

After Zhuge Liang returned to the camp, he immediately replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored, this battle, at least 100,000 enemies will be annihilated!"

Zhao Changqing is already very satisfied with this record.

Fire gauge in the valley, so that the enemy loses at least half.

In cooperation with the 100,000 people killed by Zhuge Liang and the grain and grass destroyed by Chen Qingzhi, this battle is enough to be called a big victory.

"You are worthy of being the prime minister, the first time you fought against Zuo Buqun, you won such a great achievement, and when you return to Luoyang after the war, I will definitely reward you!"

Zhao Changqing was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's work.

Chen Qingzhi echoed on the side: "The military division has not reduced the number of years in the past, and this time the enemy army has suffered such a big loss, it is estimated that in a short time, it will not attack us." ”

However, who knew that Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly! This time we can win the victory, thanks to the enemy army who doesn't know that our army is about to change commanders, but this time, Weichen has already exposed his identity." The next time we confront the enemy, the enemy army will inevitably collect information about Weichen and know each other. Moreover, the reinforcements of the Tang State are coming in a steady stream, and if they want to recover, it will only be about a few days. ”

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, that's good.

Zhao Changqing also thinks so.

Chen Qingzhi: "What the military advisor said is very reasonable, and I don't know when they will be able to come." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "There is no need to wait for them in a hurry, if they don't completely solve the affairs of Liangguo, I won't rest assured." ”

Over there in Liangguo.

Bai Qi, Xiao Yuming, Yue Fei, and Zhao Yun gathered together.

They were discussing and preparing to send troops to Niutou Mountain.

It is impossible for the army to be completely taken away, at present, the Liang country has just been pacified, in the Liang country, the people's hearts are fluctuating, if all the troops are taken away, in case there is any rebellion in the Liang country, then it will be repaid?

Without an army ready to suppress the cold country, there will definitely be problems.

After some intense discussion, they planned to leave Xiang Yu here.

Xiang Yu is superb in martial arts, and he is familiar with the art of war, and he is rude, so leaving him here to suppress Liangguo is the best plan.

He was left with only 150,000 troops.

Then, the four of them decided to pull all the remaining seventy-five armies to the Niutoushan battlefield.

Because they also received information here, Tang Guo's actions were very large.

Probably the Tang State sent to the area of Niutou Mountain will exceed one million troops.

This was the largest war between the Tang and Wei armies.

Everyone knows that no one can afford to lose this war.

If you lose, it will not be as simple as a loss of national strength.

Originally, the four of them thought that they would leave one person in Liangguo.

However, most of the Nine Dragons of the Tang Kingdom were about to be sent to Niutou Mountain, and the four of them, as the five tiger generals, naturally bore the brunt of the responsibility.

Before setting out on the expedition, Xiao Yuming, as the oldest marshal, couldn't help but tell Xiang Yu: "General Xiang, you have to remember that the situation in the territory of Liang is not the most important thing, you are stationed here, the first thing to prevent is the movement of the Song Kingdom. ”

Xiang Yu nodded, "The last general knows it in his heart. ”

Xiao Yuming continued: "The four of us have discussed to give you the right to temporarily conscript, we have told Luoyang about this, and they will do their best to send supplies here to help you form a new army." ”

Xiang Yu was very happy to hear the news.

If you can recruit troops locally, then the problem of the supply of soldiers will be solved temporarily.

At that time, even in the face of the invasion of the Song army, Xiang Yu is sure that he can let them come and go.

150,000 horses were too few for now, but he was still confident enough to keep all invading enemies out.

If you can have more soldiers and horses, it will be like a tiger with wings.
