The Duanguo army and the Tang army were not infinitely close. On the contrary, there were still intrigues and intrigues within their alliance, and Zhuge Liang took advantage of their psychology to make them hesitant and afraid to attack the city.

Choose to retreat temporarily.

Judging from Zhuge Liang's thinking, it was actually a success to make the enemy temporarily give up the idea of ​​attacking the city.

The enemy troops retreated, and Zhuge Liang's music suddenly stopped. He let out a long hiss and murmured: "A plan like this is only once, but it is too dangerous."

The last four words he said to Cao Cao were to remind him that in the future, if he leads an army alone on an expedition, he should still be cautious. It doesn't matter if he doesn't use a strategy like today, because it is really a rule.

A dangerous plan requires a thorough understanding of the enemy general's psychology.

Otherwise, as long as there is a slight problem in the details, then everything waiting for you will be a loss. Fortunately, everything ended smoothly.

Thanks to Zhuge Liang, no one else would have dared to do this.

Unlike others, Zhuge Liang had great confidence in this empty city strategy from the beginning. He believed that although it was a dangerous strategy, in his true heart, as long as there were no subtle problems, this strategy was a sound strategy.

Through the non-stop battles over the past few days, I had a thorough understanding of the psychology of the enemy commanders, which would have been impossible for anyone else.

Zhao Changqing knew Zhuge Liang's abilities very well, so he gave him the most difficult task of dealing with the Tang army.

As for the Song Army and Liang Army on the western front, he handed them over to Xiao Yuming and Chen Qingzhi at the same time.

Compare the two with each other and make a judgment.

After the enemy troops retreated, Zhuge Liang quickly arranged for troops and supplies to withdraw from the city.

After Deng Qi and Yan Xing found out, they both regretted it very much. They didn't attack the city just now, so what's the point of taking an empty city?

They regrouped and prepared to continue chasing Zhuge Liang.

At this time, after Zhuge Liang withdrew from Beizhou City, he had arrived at Huaiyang City, which was equivalent to the Yunxiao Pass of the Chu State. Once this town was lost, the former imperial capital of the Jin State was now the royal city of the Wei Dynasty - Tian.

Zhaocheng would face the risk of being lost, which was a scene that none of the Wei soldiers wanted to see.

Because once the capital of the original Jin Kingdom was lost, the entire Jin Kingdom would face a complete fall. Xiao Yuming, Chen Qingzhi and others would also be attacked from both sides by the armies of the four countries.

Everyone knows one thing, how could Zhuge Liang not understand it?

He decided to fight the enemy to the death in Huaiyang City.

In the meeting hall in the city, he said to the soldiers: "Liang knows that you are angry. Since you followed Liang to the Jin Kingdom after leaving the capital, you have been defeated in every battle. Now, it is time for us to turn defeat into victory.

But we still have to wait for the specific timing.”

The generals have been waiting for this day for long enough, and they can't wait to attack the enemy now.

Several people said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, please give the order!"

"Prime Minister, how should we fight this battle?"

Zhuge Liang was very satisfied when he saw the generals being so indignant. These were the real soldiers of the Wei Kingdom!

He once again said to the generals: "The coalition forces of Tang State and Duan State are claimed to be in the millions. In fact, after these few days of contact, it is not difficult for us to find that the armies of the two countries are only 500,000 troops at most.

But this number still far exceeds the strength of our army, so it is not easy to win. However...at this moment, our army's strength is far superior to the enemy."

Some soldiers were puzzled and asked: "Prime Minister, our current combatable troops are only 300,000. How can we be considered to be far superior to the enemy's troops?"

Of course, they would not think that this was Zhuge Liang's nonsense, because under such circumstances, how could he, as the commander of an army, speak nonsense?

Zhuge Liang did not want to explain too much. He revealed a few words to the soldiers and said: "When the time is ripe, you will naturally know. Now you listen to the truth and build the fortifications in the city first, and then prepare some fire."

Oil and other flammable substances, the truth is that the enemy will attack the city in just a few days."

All the soldiers nodded.

Because this is not difficult to guess.

Sure enough, a few days later, the allied forces of Tang State and Duan State began to attack the city.

Because they were so angry, they originally planned to attack Huaiyang City in advance.

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, if you think about it, after devoting so many troops, spending so much energy and time, you never expected to end up with an empty city. No one would feel better if you put this in your heart.

In this way, after they recovered, they quickly set off from the newly captured Beizhou City and arrived outside Huaiyang City, where they saw Zhuge Liang again planning an empty city.

This time, he still asked Cao Cao to follow him and play music on the top of the city.

How could the enemy and coalition forces let Zhuge Liang go?

Once you have been fooled once, you will never be fooled again.

Therefore, Tang Jun and Duan Jun discussed together, each sent 10,000 troops, organized into a small force, and went to attack the city first to see the situation.

However, they never expected that this time Zhuge Liang actually set up an ambush in the city. After the 20,000 people entered the city, they immediately encountered the Wei army that had been waiting for a long time.

In the end, after a fierce fighting, no one of the 20,000 enemy vanguard troops survived.

At the same time, the enemy army quickly arranged an army to attack the city. However, when all the armies marched into Huaiyang City together, they encountered the Wei army who suddenly appeared on the top of the city and resisted desperately. In the end, the enemy army was driven back.

The retreating allied forces of Tang and Duan were naturally unable to give up and set up camp outside the city to rest for a day before continuing to attack the city.

But without exception, they were all repelled by the Wei army.

At this time, Tang, the commander of Duan's second army, was a little confused.

Why did the Wei army's combat effectiveness suddenly become so high?

In the previous battles, didn't the Wei army suffer repeated defeats?

Not understanding the situation, they had to send large armies to attack the city one after another. However, they still failed to capture Huaiyang City for dozens of days.

At this time, everyone in the Wei army was thinking, after being cowardly for so long, the Tang and Duan armies were no more than that, so why couldn't they take the initiative to attack?

How great it would be to defeat them in one fell swoop!

As a result, everyone in the Wei army was full of energy and wanted to fight the enemy openly and openly.

But Zhuge Liang knew very well that the time had not yet come.

The allied forces of Tang and Duan were all wondering at this moment, why did the Wei army's combat effectiveness soar so fast?

In the previous battles, the Wei army was vulnerable!

Since Huaiyang City cannot be breached in a short period of time, and the coalition forces are faced with water and food shortages, the commanders of the two armies decided to retreat first. It is now mid-July, and the sun is scorching.

In the summer, if you stay here all the time and face the fatal weakness of lack of water, you will easily lose your morale.

But where to retreat?

It is best to find a place where you can escape the heat. In this case, the amount of water used will be much less.

It just so happened that sixty miles outside Huaiyang City, there was a secluded forest where you could escape the heat, and there was also a clear stream there, which could temporarily solve the problem of water shortage.
