Chapter 415: Casting stones to ask for directions

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Boom boom... A violent explosion sounded, and smoke billowed halfway up the mountain. The Wei troops who were ambushing nearby were frightened and panicked.

Although they were panicked, none of the Wei soldiers made a sound.

The middle-aged general made a gesture, and the nearby soldiers quickly moved lightly. The area covered by the Han army's artillery fire was not far away from them.

"General!"

The primary schools around me are a little anxious.

"Let everyone hide!" the middle-aged general said softly: "The Han army is asking for directions. They are not sure we are here."

"No!"

The colonel responded, and then ordered the hidden soldiers to stay where they were no matter how fierce the artillery fire not far away was.

At the foot of the mountain——

After two consecutive rounds of lasing, Zhuge Liang kept staring at the mountainside. With such a fierce bombardment, if there was anyone nearby, there would definitely be some movement.

Didn't Guanqiu Jian set up an ambush?

After two rounds of artillery fire, there was no movement on the mountain.

"Youchang!" Zhuge Liang called out.

Upon hearing this, Ma Di hurriedly ran forward, and Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Stop shooting, these shells are also very valuable."

"No!"

After Ma Su agreed, he said with a smile: "It seems that he thinks highly of Guanqiu Jian. If he uses troops, he will definitely ambush an army here."

Zhuge Liang didn't reply and looked at the forest again.

"Send the order!"

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "It's still unclear whether there is an ambush on the mountain. Let the soldiers keep their spirits up."

"No!"

The generals around him heard the promise.

This narrow passage is about seven or eight miles long. Zhuge Liang is very worried. If there is an ambush on the mountain, it will be difficult for them to pass because there is no passage up the mountain on the west side.

Now we can only place our hope on Guanqiu Jian, hoping that he did not set up an ambush here, but deployed heavy troops in Shaanxi County.

The first to enter the narrow passage were 10,000 cavalry, led by Guo Wei, who joined the army, followed closely by 20,000 infantry, commanded by Jiang Wei.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that Jiang Wei's 20,000 infantrymen had gone away, Ma Di couldn't help laughing loudly: "Prime Minister, it seems that you really think highly of Guanqiu Jian!"

Zhuge Liang also nodded slightly: "In this case, I have to thank Guanqiu Jian."

"Hahaha!" Ma Su laughed again.

"Youchang!" Zhuge Liang stopped Ma Su's laughter and said: "You will immediately lead the army to escort the artillery through, and the truth will follow."

"No!"

Ma Su did not refuse.

Fifty Hanwang cannons, led by Ma Di and 5,000 infantrymen, slowly entered the passage.

Although 30,000 people had passed in front of him, Zhuge Liang was still very nervous. He could not completely relax until Ma Su passed safely.

"Prime Minister!"

A junior high school student next to him said, "Prime Minister, don't worry. I think Guanqiu Jian's talent is shallow and he didn't set up an ambush here."

"No!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "Although this mountain is not high, the range of our army's artillery fire will be greatly reduced if it fires from bottom to top. Who would know that there is no Wei army in places that cannot be covered by artillery fire?"
The principal paused after hearing this, but then smiled and said: "Prime Minister, if the Wei army really set up an ambush on the mountain, they should attack when Jiang and Guo joined the army just now."

This time the Han army only dispatched a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 30,000 troops have passed in front. The remaining Han army is getting smaller and smaller. If there is a Wei army on the mountain, if they do not ambush the vanguard Guo Wei, they should at least ambush Jiang.

20,000 infantrymen led by Wei.

Because in this way, the Han army will be cut off at the waist, and the head and tail will not be able to see each other.

"Hahaha!" Zhuge also laughed when he heard the sound, and then said lightly: "Then it depends on what the Wei army's goal is?"

"Huh?" The principal was a little confused and asked, "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

"If the Wei army just wants to ambush our army...it's naturally what you said;" Zhuge Liang paused, slightly raised his head to look at the forest, and said: "What if the Wei army didn't just want to ambush our army, but wanted to attack our army?"

The key."

"For example... Hanwang Cannon."

"Another example is that they have already seen the true face, so they are waiting for the true face to enter the passage, and then attack our army."

Zhuge Liang said it calmly, but the principal broke into a cold sweat.

"Prime Minister!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"What the Wei army wants is my life, Zhuge Liang, and I am not like you."

Zhuge Liang laughed as he spoke. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he had been thinking about it, because this place was very suitable for setting up an ambush.

Guanqiu Jian is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. How could he waste such a perfect ambush opportunity? There must be Cao Wei soldiers and horses on this mountain.

That's why he agreed to Ma Su's plan of throwing stones to ask for directions. Otherwise, he would not be willing to waste the cannonballs like this.

"General!"

Halfway up the mountain, a young general's eyes widened and he seemed a little excited.

"Hanwang Cannon!"

"The King of Han cannon is coming!"

Everyone also saw thousands of Han troops, escorting dozens of Hanwang cannons, slowly entering the narrow passage at the foot of the mountain.

Of course the middle-aged general also saw it.

However, his eyes fell on the Han army farther away. There were only more than ten thousand Han troops left. In front of the military formation, an old man was sitting on a carriage.

Is he Zhuge Liang?

Is he Zhuge Liang?

The middle-aged general was in trouble. The old man on the carriage was most likely Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. If he killed the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty here... He was wondering whether he should attack the Han Dynasty cannon or fire these Han Wang cannons.

Then while waiting to attack the old man on the carriage.

"General!"

The young general hurriedly urged: "The Hanwang Cannon is at the foot of the mountain. If we don't attack, I'm afraid they will pass by soon..."

The King of Han's Cannon...Zhuge Liang...Should we attack the King of Han's Cannon or kill Zhuge Liang?

This is a very difficult choice.

If it were in the past, it would be easy for him to make a choice.

That would naturally be to kill Zhuge Liang.

Because Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the backbone of the Han Dynasty.

But now...

The front of the five thousand Han troops at the foot of the mountain has entered the passage, and the Hanwang artillery has basically entered their attack range.

"General!"

"Hurry up and give the order!"

"I'm afraid it will be too late."

The young general urged, he didn't know what kind of stupidity the general was committing at this time.

They ambush here just to blow up the Han Wang Cannon, at least not to let the Han Wang Cannon enter Shaanxi County, but now the Han Wang Cannon has entered their attack range.

While the generals were stunned, the middle-aged general glanced at Zhuge Liang in the distance and seemed to be able to see that Zhuge Liang was also looking up at him.

They could indeed see the Han army at the foot of the mountain, but the Han army at the foot of the mountain could not see them at all, but Zhuge Liang did raise his head slightly at this time, just looking at their mountain forest.

The middle-aged general paused.

He is Zhuge Liang.

He is Zhuge Liang.

After the middle-aged general looked at each other, he was very sure that the old man on the carriage at the foot of the mountain was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

Attack the Hanwang Cannon, or wait to kill Zhuge Liang?
