"General, if the enemy army really has a person who is not inferior in resourcefulness, then the last general thinks that it is better for our army to act safely, this black water seems to be nothing, but general, please think, if there is really no other reason, is it possible for the enemy to drop these things on our army's position?"

Cao Ren ordered to increase the attack, but Cao Pi had other ideas, in his opinion, if he could come up with such a person who was in the Xiliang army, then he had to have 120,000 thoughts about every move of the Xiliang coalition army.

He didn't believe that the resourceful man in the enemy army would throw useless things on his own army, and he also didn't believe that Ma Teng, Guo Yan and others, who were the commanders of the coalition forces, would agree.

"Ziheng, it's good to be cautious, but it's not good to be too cautious, what's more, now that the Xiliang cavalry has been surrounded by our army's foot soldiers, and the defeat of the enemy army is at this time, I, as the main general, must gamble!"

Cao Pi is a partial general, he can be cautious for the safety of the army, but Cao Ren is the main general, what he needs to consider is not only the safety of the 100,000 army, but also how to quickly eliminate the Xiliang coalition army of Ma Teng and others.

Cao Pi frowned slightly, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but Cao Ren was right, the battlefield or the war was not completely sure of things, and in order to win, it was necessary to take risks.

It's just that looking at the unpleasant smell of black water, Cao Pi's brows are furrowed tightly, and he always feels as if he has heard this thing somewhere.

"Mr. Zhuge , everything you expected was expected, this guy Cao Ren was really reluctant to leave, you see, is it time to take the next step?"

Seeing that Cao Ren and the entire 100,000 Wei army acted exactly the same as what Zhuge Liang said at the beginning, Ma Teng and Guo Yan were completely convinced by Zhuge Liang, and the respect in those words could be heard by any person.

"Hmph, I don't know if the power of that thing is really that great, if not, then my Xiliang Alliance will not only be defeated this time, but also will fail very unjustly!"

Li Ru's yin and yang weirdness was automatically ignored by Zhuge Liang, and he climbed high and looked into the distance to look at the form of the battlefield not far away, and after a while, he turned his head and smiled: "General Ma, General Guo, the time is almost up, it's time to move on to the next step." ”

"Okay, here's an order, order the archers, fire the rocket!"

The thousands of archers who stayed in the main formation of the Xiliang Coalition Army, armed with bows and arrows, trotted forward, and after entering the firing range, they held burning arrows in their hands and aimed them at the sky at forty-five degrees.

Bang bang bang

With the thud of the bowstring being released, thousands of Mars flew into the sky, and after the force brought by it disappeared, it was like a meteor shower, rushing towards the Wei military array, and in the Wei army camp, Cao Pi, who saw this, suddenly changed his face.

At this time, he finally thought of why he had a slight impression of that black water, just because once upon a time, Cao Cao once said that there is one thing in this world that is the best thing to use fire to attack, and that is oil.

Cao Pi didn't know what oil was for, but the thought of Cao Cao's once said that oil burned when it caught fire was enough to make him change his color in shock.

"Retreat, retreat immediately, retreat immediately where there is that black water, quick!"

Seeing Cao Pi's first such gaffe, Cao Ren on the side was also stunned, and when Cao Ren came back to his senses, the herald had already issued the order to retreat, seeing this, Cao Ren was furious, "Ziheng, do you know what you are doing, actually withdrawing at this time, do you want this great opportunity to lose here?!" ”

"General Cao, that black water is the oil that my father once said, it burns when it meets fire, and at this time, the enemy army first has oil, and then rockets, hasn't General Cao figured it out?"

I don't know if it's because of the coldness in Cao Pi's voice or something else, but sweat broke out on Cao Ren's forehead, and Le Jin and Zhao Yun on the side also changed their faces greatly, for Cao Cao, they didn't have the slightest doubt in their hearts, since Cao Cao said so, then it must be true.

Thinking that the 100,000 army might be annihilated by the enemy because of this, Cao Ren's face turned pale, fortunately, at this time, Cao Ren had been leading the troops to fight for some years, he took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and said: "Pass on the general's order, the rear team will change to the front team, and the whole army will retreat to Tongguan!" ”

Cao Ren and Cao Pi's conversation seemed to be not long, and before their retreat order could be transmitted to the front, thousands of rockets had already arrived on the battlefield.

The arrival of the rocket made the seemingly harmless oil instantly turn into a killing weapon, coupled with the weeds on the plains, as it confirms the sentence, the spark can start a prairie fire, and in an instant, the Wei army, which originally had the upper hand, was completely reduced to the downwind, and countless Wei soldiers who were on fire wailed bitterly, like evil ghosts tormented by hellfire.

At this moment, even if Cao Ren's retreat order did not come to the front, but when he saw the fire that had completely cut off the two armies, and saw the rear troops that had already begun to retreat, the Wei soldiers in front obviously understood something, and they all turned around and ran towards Tongguan.

The fire, accompanied by the oil scattered on the ground, began to spread rapidly, and some Wei soldiers who could not run were killed in the flames.

Everyone in the Xiliang Coalition Army was stunned to look at the rapidly spreading sea of fire, and in addition to being horrified and frightened in their hearts, they were also more in awe and respect for Zhuge Liang, and at the same time, the first defeat of the Wei army made them cheer completely. "Hahahaha, okay, good, 100,000 Wei troops have suffered this defeat, how can Cao Cao prevent our army from seizing Guanzhong!"

"Hahaha"

With the laughter of Ma Teng and Guo Yan, the fire kept burning, this time the fire outside Tongguan, not only burned nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers, but also burned the wild grass into a flat land, but also the first time the Wei army suffered a big defeat, a total of nearly 40,000 people died, in the history books of later generations, this war is called the defeat of Tongguan, Zhuge Liang's reputation, also spread to the world

In the palace of the king of Wei, the prime minister of the three provinces, the six Shangshu gathered together, and Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, picked up the teacup, as if he wanted to drink tea, but in the end he threw it to the ground. (To be continued.) )
