Chapter 438: Decisive Battle!(1/2)

If the 150,000-strong army led by Li Cunxiao wanted to reach Wushan safely, they had to pass through an inaccessible canyon.

Zhao Yun had had such experience before.

During the sneak attack on the capital of Liang Kingdom, they marched in winter, traveled long distances, and worked hard to reach the vicinity of Lingzhou City.

The route Zhuge Liang arranged for Li Cunxiao was hundreds of times more dangerous than the dangerous route Zhao Yun had traveled.

When Li Cunxiao was walking into the canyon, he looked at the towering cloud-like peaks on both sides and felt intimidated.

I wonder how many soldiers will be killed on the road during this trip.

If the Tang army wanted to deploy a force here, it would be a dead end just waiting for his fate.

The endless peaks of the mountain above your head are like sharp swords, exuding a heart-stopping murderous aura.

Looking ahead from a distance, the deep valley reveals mystery and unknowns.

The steep and deep strata on both sides are like billions of volumes of books, stacked one on top of another.

Deep in the winding Grand Canyon, there are ancient trees and jungles that block the sky and the sun. No one knows what weird things will be inside.

Li Cunxiao began to order the army to enter the valley.

If you want to reach Wushan safely, there is no other way except this canyon.

Zhao Changqing stood in front of the Tang army's camp for two days, and the army under Li Cunxiao also marched for two days, overcoming difficulties and obstacles.

In just two days, basically more than 10,000 Paoze brothers were buried in the canyon.

evening.

In the Wei military camp.

Zhao Changqing was worried, "Prime Minister, Cunxiao and the others should have crossed the canyon by now and are almost at Wushan, right?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "The scouts just came to report that there was no obvious abnormality in the Tang army's camp. This means that Cunxiao and the others have not started taking action yet. Calculating the distance, no matter how difficult the journey is,

It should be here by now."

Zhao Changqing took a long breath and said, "Order the three armies to cook now. I have a hunch that tonight will definitely be the decisive battle!"

In the Tang army camp.

The mission assigned by Zhao Hao was to raid the Wei army after early morning and start a decisive battle with them.

This coincides with Zhao Changqing's time.

Li Cunxiao has already seen Wushan.

There are several bright lights on the top of the mountain.

That's where the Tang army's rear troops were stationed.

All the food for the Tang army is here.

"It's really not a wise choice to take a detour to Wushan. Fortunately, we are here."

Li Cunxiao said to a deputy general beside him.

The deputy general nodded and said, "General, do you want to set a fire now?"

Li Cunxiao shook his head, "Don't worry, wait until the night gets darker."

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is suitable for murder and arson.

Wushan is mostly covered with mountains and forests.

The rainy season has passed.

The weather is dry.

Zhao Hao had thought before that after the rainy season ended, the army's food and grass would be moved away from the mountains.

But then I thought about it, the decisive battle was coming soon, and it didn't really make much sense whether to change focus or not.

It was this one thought that made him regret it for the rest of his life.

Haishi.

Li Cunxiao took action.

Countless rockets were fired into the mountains.

There are many trees in Wushan and the weather is dry, so a raging fire broke out in an instant.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger.

Uncontrollably big.

The whole mountain seemed to be on fire.

The Tang troops on the top of the mountain were all frightened by the fire.

The fire gradually burned towards the top of the mountain, and it was too late for them to put out the fire at this time.

And there is fire under the mountain.

The only thing waiting for them is to be burned alive.

"I know now why the Prime Minister likes to use fire tactics."

Li Cunxiao sighed as he looked at the fires all over the mountains and plains.

"Why?" A lieutenant general was puzzled.

Li Cunxiao said: "Because it will be done once and for all!"

The deputy general nodded, "That's true."

A fire will wipe out all the enemy troops guarding the food and grass.

Nothing could be more convenient.

In the Tang army camp.

All the soldiers were stunned by the fire in the rear.

"What is that place?"

"Looking at the location, it seems to be Wushan."

"Wushan? Isn't our food and grass right there?"

"The entire mountain was burned, and that was our food and grass!"

"...."

They were all talking about the fire.

Too heartless.

Zhao Hao, who was playing chess with Deng Qi in the military camp, felt that there was some noise outside the camp. Just as he was about to get up and go take a look, a scout came to report, "Marshal, there is a fire in Wushan!"

Deng Qi was shocked.

Zhao Hao frowned, "Are you sure it was the Wushan Fire?"

The scout nodded with great conviction.

Zhao Hao suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Deng Qi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him, "Marshal..."

Deng Qi didn't know what to say at this moment, because this incident was really too sudden.

Zhao Hao smiled miserably and said: "I thought that I would lead the army to fight again and sweep the world with invincibility, but I didn't expect that I would eventually lose to Zhuge Liang."

"How do you know that this is Zhuge Liang's conspiracy?" Deng Qi asked in confusion.

Zhao Hao said: "Do you think, among the Wei army, besides Zhuge Liang, who is good at defeating the enemy with fire tactics? Now that the morale of the army is in chaos, I am afraid there is no way to recover."

Deng Qi seemed to have thought of something and said bluntly: "No, we haven't lost yet!"

Zhao Hao asked: "What do you mean?"

Deng Qi cupped his fists and said, "Marshal, it's not a bad idea to burn the cauldron and sink the boat!"

Zhao Hao understood instantly.

He rallied the three armies and asked General Jiulong to stabilize the order on the scene. In front of thousands of troops, he loudly said: "Sirs, you must have seen the fire in Wushan just now. Yes, this was done by the commander himself.

Order! Because tonight is the beginning of the decisive battle. If we win, the Wei army's food and grass will be ours. If we lose, then we don't have to eat, because our lives are gone, what will we use to eat! So, you now

Should you know what to do?"

One of the soldiers spoke first: "Defeat the Wei army and win the war!"

After that, all the soldiers in the army were shouting.

Deafening.

"Deng Qi, use all the remaining grain and grass as food for the soldiers. Let the soldiers have a full meal before the decisive battle!" Zhao Hao ordered.

Deng Qi cupped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"
