"Brothers." Zhang Fei shouted sternly: "Although there are many enemy troops, the military advisor has led a large army to attack the main entrance of the fifth route. As long as our army can hold back the Sichuan army for two hours at most, the Sichuan army will be defeated and killed."
"kill."
In the isolated mountain, the Liang army and the Sichuan army were fighting together. Zhang Fei led the army to fiercely resist the Sichuan army's siege.
…………
The main entrance of Wulu.
Zhuge Liang took advantage of Zhang Fei's army to attract the attention of the Sichuan army's ambush. The army was divided into seven groups and quietly sneaked outside the Fifth Road main entrance. As more than a dozen signal arrows were shot into the air, the seven routes merged and Liang's army of 100,000 troops marched toward the Fifth Road main entrance.
Raid.
The Sichuan Army camp at the main entrance of the Fifth Route was brightly lit, and the Liang Army entered the camp. When they opened the tent and took a look, everyone was shocked.
"Military advisor, it's an empty account."
"Same here."
"It's all empty accounts."
Zhuge Liang frowned. Could it be that the Sichuan army even sent out the garrison at the main entrance of the Fifth Road in order to ambush Gushan? Such a risk? You really have nothing to fear.
At this moment, countless fires suddenly lit up in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Wulu Zongkou, tens of thousands of rockets rained down on the Liang army, and the Zongkou camp immediately caught fire.
"Zhuge Liang, you have fallen into the trap of my military advisor. Liang Jun's son, you will be captured without restraint."
Liang's army immediately became riotous, and Zhuge Liang's heart jumped suddenly. He never expected to encounter such a situation. The bait was placed on Gushan, but the fishhook was placed at the main entrance of Wulu. How could fishing be like this since ancient times?
Would people like Wei Yan and Zhang Ren have such a strategy?
However, despite being frightened, Zhuge Liang immediately responded and shouted: "The whole army is calm. Our army of 100,000 troops is here. Even if the Sichuan army is prepared, they can still give it a try. Now our army is at the main entrance of the Five Routes. As long as we break through with all our strength,
.Victory is ours.”
"Breakthrough in one fell swoop, Liang's army will win, kill." Zhao Yun raised his gun and shouted.
The Liang army calmed down a little and retracted their formation. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao organized the Liang army's cavalry, hoping to break through the five main entrances in one fell swoop and occupy the heart of Jieting's defense.
The earth trembled with the sound of horse hooves, and the heavy cavalry of the Sichuan Army rushed out from the forest on the side, blocking their way into the Liang Army's formation.
"The iron cavalry goes deep alone. Are you looking for death?" Zhuge Liang took a cold look and immediately ordered the entire army to form a formation and put in the heavy cavalry, preparing to lure the heavy cavalry into the center and gather them to annihilate them.
"Crunch. Crunch."
At this moment, the sound of vehicles pressing against the ground suddenly sounded, and groups of tanks rushed out from the front. There were about a hundred tanks. These tanks were no different from ordinary tanks. The difference was that these tanks were all made of iron.
The chains were connected in series. A row of twenty vehicles just blocked the road. Pulled by dozens of horses, they rolled toward the Liangzhou Army.
"Infantry arrays to block the enemy."
Zhuge Liang gave a loud order, and the Roman heavy infantry with the core of the Liqian people formed three large turtle shells and pushed towards the chariot formation. They threw their spears and killed the horses and soldiers pulling the chariots. They used spears and spears to hold on tightly.
Chariot.
The impact of the chariots connected as one was extremely powerful, and even the turtle-shelled Roman regiment could not stop it. The charioteers flipped on their backs, but it did not stop the progress of the entire chariot formation. The tightly knit turtle formation of the Roman legions was knocked apart.
"Those who take a step back will be killed without mercy."
The Liang army organized a team to supervise the battle. As long as the soldiers under the turtle shell dared to take a step back, they would immediately shoot them. These soldiers imitating the Roman legions had to use all their strength to block the advancement of the chariot array, resulting in numerous casualties.
The connected chariots rushed into the Roman formation, and the linked chains overturned dozens of soldiers at a time. The Liang army soldiers barely blocked the charge of the chariot formation with their corpses.
"Encircle and annihilate the Sichuan Army's cavalry with all your strength, don't let anyone go."
Huang Zhong led a lone heavy cavalry force into the Liang army's formation and charged into the Liang army's formation. The heavy cavalry was invulnerable and invincible wherever it passed, trampling on the bodies of the Liang army along the way.
However, as they continued to charge and kill, the Liang army continued to pour out spear squads to block the enemy. The cavalry harassed and attacked, and the charge of the heavy cavalry was weakening. If this continues, as long as the heavy cavalry stops charging, they will be a group of living targets waiting to be annihilated.
.
"Tap tap tap."
The intensive sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from the rear of the Liang army, and Zhuge Liang could clearly tell that a large group of cavalry was approaching. However, Zhuge Liang was shocked. He had never heard such neat sound of horse hoofbeats in Yongliang for several years of fighting where the cavalry was numerous.
"Tap tap tap."
A large group of Sichuan cavalry appeared in the Liang army's field of vision. There was no charge like ordinary cavalry. They started in a conical formation, mounted their horses, and charged.
Rows of cavalry, like a phalanx, advanced toward the Liang army like waves. They did not start to accelerate until they were thirty steps away.
Only then did Zhuge Liang discover that each row of these Sichuan cavalry was connected with ropes to form a unified attacking unit.
The cavalry strung up by ropes were all elite Han cavalry under Lei Tong's command. They marched in unison and acted in unison. Like chariots connected in series, they pressed on the Liang army overwhelmingly. In the rear, Wang Shuangxi sealed the pool, Han Sui and Pang Rou led a large group of cavalry.
Coming to kill.
From the mountains and forests on both sides, countless long-armed soldiers, hook-and-scythe soldiers, school swordsmen, and horse-cutting teams poured out. Strong archers and heavy crossbowmen fired arrows at the Liang army's formation and the Sichuan army's heavy cavalry interspersed in the formation.
Zhuge Liang was shocked.
High in the mountains, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying set up a handsome platform to sit opposite each other. Liu Zhang held a teacup in his hand and looked at the scene down the mountain in surprise. Huang Yueying's words of severely damaging Liang's army as soon as they went into battle came true, and they were faced with it.
Rivals like Zhuge Liang.
A large formation of chariots is in front, and the cavalry is chained behind. The infantry specially designed to deal with the cavalry attack from both wings. The invulnerable heavy cavalry blooms in the center, and strong archers and heavy crossbows suppress it from a distance.
In vain, Zhuge Liang had an army of 100,000, with smooth formations, light cavalry, and heavy infantry. However, under such a siege, they had no power to resist and could only be beaten. The Liang soldiers were constantly slaughtered, with casualties everywhere.
Isn't the chain of light cavalry the later Jin iron pagoda that replaced heavy cavalry with light cavalry? In fact, the iron pagoda of the Jin people was not strictly a heavy cavalry.
"Yueying, you said in Xiangyang that your mission was to fill the Sichuan Army with sunshine. Now I really feel it. Before you came, Zhuge Liang was like a dark cloud hanging over my head. But now, Zhuge Liang is here
In front of Yueying, it's like heavy rain rushing into the mud, and the ashes are annihilated in the blink of an eye."
"Haha, my lord, you are too flattering." Huang Yueying drank a cup of tea and said with a faint smile: "Zhuge Liang was defeated because he didn't know that I, Huang Yueying, had already come to the street pavilion. If Zhuge Liang knew, he would never have been able to fall into my trick so easily."
Huang Yueying had long expected that Zhuge Liang would use Solitary Mountain to attract the main force of the Sichuan Army and take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Fifth Road Entrance. The so-called 100,000 troops on the Solitary Mountain were only 40,000 barbarian troops from Nanman and Wuxi. The rest of the main force of the Sichuan Army were all at the Fifth Road Entrance.
, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to get in.
"These integrated chariots and light cavalry have extremely low flexibility. If they are not caught by surprise and Zhuge Liang is prepared in advance, they will only be beaten. In an upright duel, I, Huang Yueying, am not sure of victory, but."
Huang Yueying suddenly laughed heartily and said: "After this battle, I will make Liang's army suffer heavy losses. Even if Zhuge Liang has the wisdom to match me, Huang Yueying, he does not have the strength to match me."
Liu Zhang nodded. The mountain breeze was refreshing, and he suddenly frowned, "No, the army hasn't surrounded us yet. Zhuge Liang wants to run away."
Zhuge Liang at the foot of the mountain was suddenly besieged by the Sichuan army from all sides. He knew that he had been fooled and did not take any chances. Within a quarter of an hour, he immediately detached three armies to stop the enemy and ordered the main army to squeeze to the rear and retreat.
Zhuge Liang abandoned his wooden chariot, mounted his horse, and was trapped in the chaos of the army, and fled. The defeated Liang army was trampled to death by the Sichuan cavalry. Hundreds of thousands of Liang army were scattered and abandoned.
Tens of thousands of corpses finally rushed out of the five main entrances and fled towards the Liang Army camp.
The Sichuan Army's Qingqi army pursued them. Zhuge Liang ordered his sergeants to fire signal arrows to retreat. Zhang Fei was shocked when he saw the signal arrows on Gushan Mountain. He could not figure out why Zhuge Liang ordered the retreat.
However, Zhuge Liang failed to break through the main entrance of the five routes. Wouldn't it be dangerous if he was surrounded by a large army? He immediately led his army to rush down the mountain. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Fei to lead his army to cut off the rear and cover the army's retreat.
Zhang Fei rushed out of the mountain forest and inserted himself in front of the Sichuan army's Qingqi.
Liu Zhang stood up and said: "Zhuge Liang saw the opportunity very quickly and escaped before the war started. After Zhang Fei intercepted, it was difficult for our army to break through in a short time. The Liang army escaped with 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is a serious problem."
"My lord, don't worry. The light cavalry defeated Zhang Fei's troops, and it won't be too late to pursue them again."
"Really?"
"Let's give it a try." Huang Yueying smiled softly, seeing 50,000 to 60,000 Sichuan cavalry at the foot of the mountain attacking Zhang Fei's more than 10,000 light cavalry. It was only a matter of time before the Liang army collapsed.
At this time, Liang Jun had already escaped for more than ten miles. Huang Yueying smiled at Liu Zhang and said, "Master, let's go and see the beautiful night view."
Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang took the mountain path towards the Liang Army camp and arrived at a hill several hundred meters high. There were five thousand soldiers of Ma Dazhong guarding it. All of them were soldiers brought by Huang Yueying from Tianshui. They arrived here at night.
.
However, these soldiers did not have swords and guns in their hands. Instead, each of them was carrying two paper lanterns and several paper lanterns were placed at their feet. The ground was covered with shredded paper and other debris, as if it was a lantern workshop that no one had cleaned.
Huang Yueying stretched her palms into the air, feeling the breeze in the quiet night, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded to Ma Dazhong.
"Light the lamp." Ma Dazhong ordered loudly.
Only then did Liu Zhang discover that each of these lanterns had a very short candle inside. The soldiers opened the lamp body and lit the candle. Except for the two air inlets where the flame was shorter, the entire lantern fit perfectly.
The soldier placed the lantern in the palm of his hand and held it steady. The candle burned and the lantern slowly took off. The soldier controlled the control line connected under the lantern to keep it stable when it first left his hand.
The lantern slowly rose up, and the breeze blew gently, slowly drifting towards the Liangjun camp.
"Kongming lantern?" Liu Zhang asked in surprise.
"What Kongming Lantern?" Huang Yueying, who was feeling the breeze with her eyes closed, was suddenly stunned and looked at Liu Zhang strangely.
………………
The defeated Liang army threw the Sichuan cavalry ten miles away and fled towards the military camp. Zhuge Liang left 30,000 soldiers in the camp. Zhuge Liang believed that as long as he escaped into the camp and closed the gate tightly, he could reorganize his army and return to the camp.
