Chapter 716: Flames

Meng Da and Li Yan completely failed to capture the village.

Returning to the big tent of the Shu army with a disgraced face, seeing Zhuge Liang smiling at Mimi, his heart sank, and he worshiped Liu Bei to ask for guilt.

Zhuge Liangdai said: "It's not the fault of the two of you, this battle is just testing the enemy's reality. When you attacked the Qin army, our division had already explored the enemy camp at night. The Qin army is full of soldiers and horses, and the enemy will be destroyed in the coming day. ”

Meng Da and the others said how fresh it is, if the Qin army is not there, we will not be able to lose so badly.

Zhang Song said: "The Qin army is very difficult to break, and the soldiers are lost in vain. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook the feather fan lightly, turned to Liu Bei, and said, "Lord, this strategy is useless in spring, autumn and winter." Fortunately, in the hot summer at this moment, most of the Qin army are northerners, so they can achieve great success. ”

Liu Bei already had a tacit understanding, and said with a smile: "But it's up to the military advisor to decide." ”

So, Zhuge Liang ordered a qiē overnight.

He ordered Guan Yu to march down the river from the waterway, and said: "In the coming afternoon, the southwest wind will inevitably blow, and when the sun sets, the second general can use the boat to load thatch, sulfur flame nitrate." And the soldiers each carried a fire, and each with a spear and a knife. As long as they saw the Qin army camp, they all went up together and set fire to the wind. But it should be remembered that there were many Qin military camps, and one village was burned at intervals. ”

"Why don't you burn it all?" Guan Yu was puzzled.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said confidently: "The wind helps the fire, and the Qin army must escape from a place where there is no fire." The three generals and General Zang Ba can lead the army to follow you and march left and right along the river. He was ambushed outside the unlit Qin camp, and came out to kill as many as he could. ”

He also said to Liu Bei: "If the second general sets fire to block the enemy, and the third general and General Zang Ba lie in ambush, the Qin army will definitely be completely chaotic and completely defeated." The lord had plenty of time to lead the army. Chase the enemy along the river. The armies brought dry rations and were not allowed to rest. Pursue day and night, and capture Qin Zijin until he arrives! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed. He got up and said, "The military advisor is thoughtful, and you and others must obey orders." ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers said.

However, Zhuge Liang only instructed the old generals, and the Shu generals did not have a separate task. Meng Da and the others were very dissatisfied, and said that the enemy had been defeated, and if we chased it again, the credit would be much smaller. So, they asked for war.

Liu Bei naturally wanted to appease people's hearts, after all, when he entered Shu, he also needed the support of representatives of these local clans. He looked at Zhuge Liang. Let's see if we can give me an errand.

Zhuge Liang smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Take precautions, Meng Da, Li Yan, Zhang Song, the three of you will each lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you will defend our army in the northwest of Yiling." ”

"What!" Zhang Song and the others were taken aback, and said in their hearts, "You all go to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, let us go and defend the back road?"

At this point, the generals were ordered to leave.

Zhang Song, Meng Da, and Li Yan returned to their big tents, and it was difficult to hide the dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Zhuge Liang is really hateful. He is pretending to be a public servant and not giving me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Meng Da said.

Li Yan also said: "If it weren't for you and me, how could Uncle Huang have today?" This is for fear that you and I will divide power after the success. ”

Zhang Song said: "Two generals, Zhuge Liang knows that the Qin army will be on guard. But let you go and fight, this is a plan to kill people by the sword. ”

Meng Da and Li Yan were shocked.

However, although they hate Zhuge Liang. There is no way to fight back for the time being. After dawn, I had to be sullen. The army went to guard the back road.

Say that this day is early in the morning.

Qin Feng got up early and played a set of five poultry scenes in front of the big tent. Gradually, the sun rose, and soon it was hot, and he closed his fist. After estimating the time, he calculated that he should use Zhen Mi's embroidered brocade today, so he took it out and wiped his sweat. Jinpa is embroidered by the ladies themselves, taking the meaning of inseparable. When he set out on the expedition, Qin Feng brought seventeen parties, and later there was Cai Yuan's side, a total of eighteen parties, which were replaced every day, and they did not dare to forget.

When he was talking about returning to the account, there was a loud sound, and when he looked back in a hurry, he saw that the banner of the Chinese army had fallen.

Dian Wei, who was on duty, hurriedly went over to help him up, resettled, and scratched his head when he walked back, "It's strange, and there is no wind, how can it fall well?" ”

Qin Feng's heart moved, some things would rather be believed than believed. He immediately said, "Hurry up and ask Jia Xu to serve as a military teacher." ”

After a while, Jia Xu came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after learning that the lord was puzzled, he pondered for a while, and said: "The lord is ordered by the sky, this is a warning from heaven, and the Shu army will definitely come to rob the camp tonight." ”

Qin Feng and Jia Xu had already formulated a detailed plan to fight the enemy in the fire, and he immediately beat the drum and gathered the generals.

Shaoqing, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Dai, Ji Ling and other generals, and generals from various ministries gathered in the big tent.

Qin Feng was fully armored, sat on the handsome seat, and said: "The decisive battle is only tonight, you and the others listen carefully to the orders of the military advisor." ”

Jia Xu began to lay out a strategy to meet the enemy.

First of all, order the sergeants of each battalion to open an open space in the camp and prepare equipment for setting fire and smoke to stand by. Don't be afraid when you see a fire going on all around, soak your clothes and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel to avoid the fire. If you can't avoid the fire, you will follow the drill and exit the camp in an orderly manner. After avoiding the fire outside, gather and look at the place where the fight will be met.

Secondly: The soldiers who have taken refuge in the fire in each village should not be moved lightly. When the enemy sees that Dazhai is overfired, and our army does not come out, he will definitely enter to investigate, and at this time, he is acting as an ambush and attacking the enemy by surprise.

If the Qin army was taken by surprise, it was able to defeat the Shu army in turn.

Finally: Zhao Yun led 30,000 horses, detoured to the Shu army's village, and set fire to Liu Bei's camp. Stop the enemy's rout and annihilate the enemy.

Jia Xu finally said: "The lord's village must be the enemy's main direction of attack, and it can be guarded by General Dian Wei." The three generals, Xu Chu, Ma Dai, and Ji Ling, each led more than ten villages, commanding the counterattack against the enemy. ”

Qin Feng got up at this time, his face was grim, he looked at the hundreds of generals under his account, and said: "Tonight's decisive battle, the generals should encourage the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and this prime minister will be in Dazhai of the Chinese army, with you!" ”

After Ji Ling returned to Qin Feng, he finally got the opportunity to make great contributions today, and first bowed: "I am willing to serve the death force and fight for the Lord!" ”

"I am willing to serve the death force and fight for the Lord!" The congregations will bow down.

At this point, the Qin army was also ready to meet the enemy, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to set fire, and Liu Bei's Shu army poured out.

Time gradually faded, and the sun gradually set, and it was time for the first shift.

All of a sudden. The southwest wind rose suddenly, and the river was full of big waves. And the dense forests on both sides seem to be shaking as a whole.

A large fleet. Smooth the wind and water, down the river.

"Quick, each department is fighting its own battle. Starting from the back of the fleet, land ashore and set fire in turn, remember to burn a village at intervals, quickly! Guan Yu was in good spirits, and his red face turned purple with excitement. The heart said that Kong Ming was really a god, and there was indeed a southwest wind. The wind from the fire, once the Qin army rested.

I saw thousands of ships, large and small. Starting from the rear and stopping at the north and south shores in turn, the sergeant began to set fire to the fire with thatch, sulfur and other fire-starting things, and kindling fire.

It was windy, tailwind and smooth, so the fleet was extremely fast.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, it is as if the street lights are lit up in turn. The camps of the Qin army in the north and south were on fire one after another.

After half a column of incense. In the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, the firelight shines like the white sun.

At the same time, Zhang Fei and Zang Ba each led 100,000 troops to attack along the river. Find a camp where there is no fire, and divide troops to prevent the enemy from ambushing.

In a few moments, the sound of killing was struck. Liu Bei led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to roll over.

Liu Bei took the lead, with a sword in each hand. Together, it is a double-strand sword, exhaling and shouting. "The officers and men of all departments fought bravely to kill the enemy, the enemy has been confused, and he must not be the opponent of our army, and the meritorious service is only tonight. Defeat Qin Feng's army, and the official will be promoted to three levels, each with a reward! ”

More than 100,000 Shu troops rushed to the sky and the ground, brandishing weapons, and rushed all the way along the river.

Liu Bei took the lead in rushing to kill, holding a sword high in his right hand in the sky-high firelight, and dragging a sword behind him. The sword held high kept turning in circles, and his heart said that it was such a fire, it was done, defeat Qin Feng, and I have it in the world. His face was flushed, on the one hand, because of the firelight, and on the other hand, because of the agitation of the endocrine.

However, in the excitement, Liu Bei, who was waiting for the big killing, was quickly dumbfounded.

"Report to the ......, lord, there is no movement in the Qin army camps everywhere!" A horse desperately caught up with the galloping Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was immediately chattered when he heard this, he looked left and right, and sure enough, there was only the shouting of his own soldiers, and there was no movement in the Qin camps along the way. He was taken aback, and said in his heart that there was fraud in it, so he hurriedly put away his sword, and asked Zhuge Liang on the side, "Military advisor, why is this?" ”

Zhuge Liang covered his forehead with a feather fan, and when he looked around, he saw fires in various places in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and the fire was so big that even copper and iron could melt. In such a fire, if you are not scared to death, you are good soldiers, how can you fight back. Then again, even if the Qin army had been prepared, in the midst of this fire, there would be roads for the Qin army to take a detour.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was also very dizzy, took a breath, and said: "Lord, I think it is the shouts of our army and this arrogant fire that obscured the movement of the Qin army. Look at this fire has been continuous for hundreds of miles, and the gods and Buddhas are burning. Thinking that the Qin army fled from the other side. ”

"Escaped, what a good thing it is!" Liu Beixin said that if he escaped, he would not win, wouldn't he be busy in vain.

Zhuge Liang observed the words, used a feather fan to sweep the wind in the air, and said: "Lord, look, this strong wind blowing from the southwest. How could the Qin army run too far in the dense forest? Liang thought that the lord went to Qin Feng's village to wait, and marched in the direction where the fire had burned, just waiting to collect Qin Feng's body. When he said this, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, clenched his fists, and said, "Perhaps, Qin Zijin has turned into ashes at this moment!" ”

"Turning to ashes?" When Liu Bei heard this, he raised his arms, waved his double-strand sword cloak, and said: "There are also golden helmets and golden armor that turn into ashes, as well as golden guns." What the military advisor said is very true, let's go over. ”

In this regard, Zhuge Liang ordered all the armies: Since the Qin army did not move, it was thought that it was burned to death. He waited outside the Qin army's stockades everywhere, and after the fire went down, he followed the direction of the fire and chased the fleeing Qin army.

As a result, more than 200,000 Shu troops were waiting outside the Qin villages. Looking at the fire in front of me, I couldn't wait. The heart said that this jungle was overfired, and even the small animals were burned to death, let alone the big living people. I don't know if I can find a living person to kill when the fire passes.

On the other hand, Qinfeng Benzhai.

More than 10,000 people gathered in the center of Dazhai, wet all over, covering their mouths and noses with towels. And all around, there is a raging fire. Because the ground was treated, there was no overfire under their feet.

Qin Feng took a deep breath of the moist breath filtered by the towel, and exhaled, "If you can't hold on, follow the path that has been carved out." ”

However, the soldiers of the Qin army are not afraid of hardship or fire. The lord is insisting, and they will stick to it.

In addition to the fire of 100 meters ahead, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops had also gathered, just waiting for the fire to pass, and then pursued with the fire.

At this point, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides, cut off by the fire, could not see each other, but waited for the moment when the fire was extinguished. (To be continued......)
