When Zhuge Liang saw the enemy troops charging towards him, he retreated to the rear.

Currently, his own plan is progressing very smoothly.

While he was seducing Zuo Buqun's main force, he asked Chen Qingzhi to raid his hometown.

This made Tang Jun, who was already not wealthy, even worse.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zuo Buqun became angry and ashamed.

Zhuge Liang adopted the tactics of fighting and retreating at the same time.

Its purpose was to support the main offensive of the Tang Army.

To buy time for Chen Qingzhi’s strategic detour.

Zuo Buqun asked the rear army to outflank Chen Qingzhi, hoping that it would be too late at this moment.

Before he led the army to confront Zhuge Liang, he communicated with Deng and Xia.

Let them send a large army to attack Zhuge Liang from both sides.

Before, they knew nothing about Zhuge Liang's arrival, but they did not dare to underestimate him.

If today's battle can keep Zhuge Liang alive, then no matter what they do or what price they pay, they will not hesitate.

Unfortunately, the coalition forces of Deng and Xia were ambushed by Zhao Changqing when they were passing through a valley.

It's spring now and the weather is dry.

The entire valley was lit up by Zhao Changqing.

The blazing flames trapped all the 100,000 troops of Deng and Xia.

Deng Qi and Xia Ji did not come here in person, but the death of a hundred thousand troops in the sea of ​​fire was more thrilling than the disaster they experienced personally.

If he died along with these 100,000 troops, there would naturally be nothing to say.

But because of one's own mistakes or strategic decision-making issues, it would be a sin to let a hundred thousand troops die unexpectedly.

So, after the two of them learned the news, they did not hesitate and immediately led the army to rescue them personally.

But the two of them never expected that Zhao Changqing had no intention of leaving these 100,000 troops here.

The main purpose of his trip was to relieve Zhuge Liang's pressure so that they could retreat safely when fighting Zuo Buqun.

Zhao Changqing personally led the troops and was not afraid of the combined forces of Deng and Xia.

Before the two of them walked to the valley, they saw the raging fire in front of them, and their hearts were already cold.

I am afraid that more than half of these 100,000 troops will be lost.

They looked at the place where the Wei army was ambushing, frowned tightly, and ordered the army to advance towards the valley.

They had no way to deal with the monstrous fire. They had no choice but to take the lead in dealing with the ambush above the valley.

But when they reached the valley, they discovered that Zhao Changqing had left.

After that, they used all fire-fighting methods to allow the remaining troops trapped in the fire to escape.

More than half of the 100,000-strong army was lost.

This fire plan is Zhuge Liang's plan.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang's troops retreated slowly, and Zuo Buqun pursued them. When they reached an open space, Chen Qingzhi's troops, who had originally retreated, actually laid ambush here for a long time.

In an instant, arrows covering the sky and the sun flew towards the Tang army's camp.

Only then did Zuo Buqun realize that he had fallen into a trap.

Moreover, it is a serial scheme, with one link closely linked to the other, and there is no effective way to prevent the tragedy from happening.

With more than ten thousand arrows, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fell one after another.

After waves of arrows flew towards the Tang army, Zhuge Liang ordered his troops to counterattack.

No more retreating.

But at this time, Zuo Buqun's troops had no strength to fight at all. He was still imagining that reinforcements could arrive in time at this tense moment.

Can...

Fantasy is just fantasy after all.

In this battle, the Wei army won a great victory.

When Zuo Buqun was retreating in embarrassment, Zhuge Liang was still laughing from behind and said: "The so-called Jiulong generals are nothing more than this, a bunch of people who live in vain!"

It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

Zuo Buqun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After they returned to the Wei army camp, Zhao Changqing had been waiting for them for a long time.

He was the first to return to camp in triumph.

His task is also relatively simple, it is nothing more than setting a fire.

After Zhuge Liang returned to the camp, he immediately reported back to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command. In this battle, I will annihilate at least 100,000 enemies!"

Zhao Changqing is already very satisfied with this record.

The fire plan in the valley caused the enemy to lose at least half of his troops.

Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of people killed by Zhuge Liang and the food and grass destroyed by Chen Qingzhi, this battle can be regarded as a great victory.

"As expected of the Prime Minister, you have achieved such great achievements against Zuo Buqun for the first time. After the war is over and you return to Luoyang, I will definitely reward you!"

Zhao Changqing was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's work.

Chen Qingzhi echoed from the side: "The military advisor's tactics are still the same as before. This time the enemy has suffered such a big loss. It is estimated that they will not take action against us in a short time."

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly! The victory this time is all due to the enemy's ignorance of our army's change of commanders before the battle. But this time, the minister has exposed his identity. Next time, I will

When facing an enemy, the enemy will definitely collect information about the ministers and know themselves and the enemy. Moreover... reinforcements from the Tang State are coming in a steady stream, and it only takes a few days for them to recover their strength."

It's good to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Zhao Changqing also deeply agreed.

Chen Qingzhi said: "What the military advisor said makes sense. I don't know when Yu Ming and the others will be able to arrive."

Zhao Changqing said: "There's no need to wait for them in a hurry. I won't be relieved if they don't completely resolve the matter in Liang Kingdom."

Over there in Liang Kingdom.

Bai Qi, Xiao Yuming, Yue Fei and Zhao Yun gathered together.

They are discussing and preparing to send troops to Niutoushan.

It is impossible for all the troops to be taken away. The Liang Kingdom has just been pacified, and the people's hearts in the Liang Kingdom are floating. If all the troops are taken away, what will happen if there is any rebellion in the Liang Kingdom?

Without an army ready to suppress the Liang Kingdom, there will definitely be problems.

After a heated discussion, they decided to keep Xiang Yu here.

Xiang Yu is highly skilled in martial arts, well versed in the art of war, and is a rough man. It is the best plan to keep him here to suppress the Liang Kingdom.

He only had 150,000 troops left.

Then, the four of them decided to pull all the remaining seventy-five troops to the Niutoushan battlefield.

Because they also received intelligence here, Tang Guo took great actions.

The Tang State probably sent more than a million troops to the Niutoushan area.

This was the biggest war between the Tang Army and the Wei Army.

Everyone knows that no one can lose in this war.

If we lose, it will not be as simple as a loss of national strength.

Originally, the four of them thought that one of them would stay in Liang Kingdom.

However, most of the Tang Dynasty's Nine Dragons will be sent to Niutoushan. As the Five Tiger Generals, the four of them naturally bear the brunt of the attack.

Before setting off for the expedition, Xiao Yuming, the most senior marshal, could not help but tell Xiang Yu: "General Xiang, you must remember that the situation in Liang Kingdom is not the most important thing. When you are stationed here, you must first take precautions.

It is the trend of the Song Dynasty."

Xiang Yu nodded, "The general knows clearly."

Xiao Yuming continued: "The four of us discussed and gave you the right to temporarily recruit troops. We have told Luoyang about this, and they will do their best to send materials here to help you form a new army."

Xiang Yu was very happy when he heard the news.

If we can recruit troops and buy horses locally, then the problem of troop sources will be temporarily solved.

When the time comes, even if they face an invasion by the Song army, Xiang Yu will be confident that they will never come back.

Nowadays, 150,000 troops are too few, but he is still confident enough to keep out all incoming enemies.
