Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 224 Wolong first showed its power and broke through Yiyi

The reason why Zhuge Liang made such a tactical arrangement is not just what he said to Li Yan.

Gao Ding, the barbarian king of Yueyi, refused to accept his enlightenment and raised troops repeatedly. His influence was deeply rooted in Yueyi.

Moreover, this person has led his troops to fight many times with the Han army under their command, and all of them suffered casualties. He was defeated by Li Yan last time, and there were also many casualties.

Gao Ding and his tribe are already at loggerheads with the Bashu Han people, even if they show kindness and power, they may not be able to make them sincerely surrender.

Even if you submit for a while, you will definitely rebel after the army leaves.

They are fundamentally different from the barbarians who didn't want to rebel at breakfast, but after being instigated by Meng Huo, they were afraid that the Han army would cut their lives before they revolted.

Before the Southern Expedition, Zhuge Liang discussed with Prince Liu Chan several times, and they all felt that this person, like the Yong family, was a force that needed to be eradicated.

If you stay in Nanzhong, there will be chaos sooner or later.

Therefore, guarding against the enemy on the south road, he personally led an army on the north road, whether he was strong or soft, he had his own calculations.

Only the staff of West Road Gaoding Headquarters designed this heavy hand, intending to destroy it in one fell swoop.

……

"Your Majesty, people in Shu all say that Zhuge Kongming is resourceful and resourceful, and he is coming here with great fanfare... just for fear of being cheated."

Among the Gaoding family, there are also people who travel to and from Bashu, and sell goods, but how can they do business like robbing them?

In addition, when these people traded with Bashu merchants, they could not always take advantage of it, and occasionally suffered losses, so their status in the clan was not very high on weekdays.

But after all, they are well-informed and have more insight than ordinary tribal people.

The person who spoke had led a team to Qianwei and other counties, and heard many rumors about Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan at that time.

"Hmph." Gao Ding sneered, disapproving, "Then tell me, where is the fraud?"

"Ah this..."

That person said that if I knew, I would have led an army to capture Zhuge Liang, so what are you talking about?

"I told you earlier that if you don't deal with those profiteers, your resourcefulness will not increase a bit, but you will become cautious!" Gao Ding said angrily, "Now that Zhuge Liang is besieged by three armies, his resourcefulness can still come out of his heart Can't cut people down?"

"Yes……"

Gao Ding clamped his horse's belly, and accelerated forward: "Zhuge Liang came here alone, this battle is bound to be defeated, you should think about how to compete with the Yong family for territory after defeating Zhuge Liang!"

In King Gao Ding's heart, he never paid attention to Zhuge Liang's ten thousand army, after all, he has never heard of this man's impressive achievements.

If Li Yan, the Shu general who defeated him two years ago, led his army, it might be worth paying more attention to.

Zhuge Liang is already thinking about how to conquer the hearts of the people and control the overall situation after the victory, and even the development plan of Nanzhong to enrich the people and strengthen the army.

And Gao Ding is already thinking about how to take down the Yong family in one fell swoop after the victory, subdue Meng Huo, and dominate Nanzhong.

In a sense, this Gao Ding king sees the same long-term perspective as Zhuge Kongming...

The army marched for another day, and finally arrived at the rest place he had set in advance.

"Zhuge Liang just came here. He doesn't know the geography of the mountains and rivers here, and he doesn't know where the water is. There are smoky and poisonous springs on the way. What's so strange about the slow march?" .

The man had learned the lesson from last time, how could he dare to sing a different tune, he immediately touched his chest with his right hand, leaned forward and said: "What the king said is very true."

"En." Gao Ding nodded, and pointed to the ground again, "I said that in this valley, there is such a hidden treasure among the mountains that the army can rest and recuperate. Then Zhuge Liang has never been to Nanzhong, how would he know... Um?"

He bent down and grabbed a handful of hay from the ground, and looked around carefully, feeling a little puzzled.

Just now, I was only focused on analyzing Zhuge Liang's intention of marching like this to my subordinates, but I didn't pay attention to my feet. It's not autumn at this time. How could there be so much hay on the ground?
And it doesn't look like the accumulation of withered vegetation, it looks like... It seems to be used to feed livestock.

"Let the arrows—!"

Woo-!
There was only a desolate and distant sound of horns, and a large number of Han soldiers suddenly appeared around the valley, just like divine soldiers descending from the sky, followed by a burst of fire arrows falling down.

It rained fire.

There has been no drop of water for nearly half a month, and the air is very dry. At this time, it is noon again, and the sun is in the sky.

A large number of fire arrows fell into the valley and shot on the dry grass, and soon there was fire everywhere, bursting with black smoke!
Gao Ding's army was suddenly attacked, causing chaos.

"There is an ambush, run quickly—! Get out of the valley!"

"The fire is not yet complete, order people to extinguish the flames! Fight back to the Shu army!"

"Go west and kill back!"

"Go east and kill!"

All of a sudden, there were people shouting and screaming in the valley, you go west, I go east to kill, you are fighting the flames with your front feet, and you are knocked down by yourself on the back...

Gao Ding was so anxious that he got on his horse and ordered the two hundred elite soldiers of the clan to shout in unison, only less than a thousand people gathered nearby.

"Go west!"

In the current situation, it is impossible to march eastward, so Zhuge Liang must have ambushes.

We can only withdraw to Qiongdu first, and then make plans.

Gao Ding made a decisive decision, and led the gathered soldiers to cover their mouths and noses, while holding up their shields to avoid arrows, while choosing a place that hadn't caught fire, they rushed to Xigukou.

Along the way, the line of sight was obstructed, the nose was choked by thick smoke, the skin of the people scorched by the heat wave was painful, and there were deaths and injuries before reaching the west valley entrance.

"Taniguchi is in sight!" Gao Ding, who was leaning on the horseback, squinted his eyes and looked forward, excitedly.

But soon he noticed something strange again.

The closer they were to the West Valley entrance, the more corpses there were on the ground, but the crowded scene that was expected to appear was not seen.

After getting closer to the scene of the fire, the sight gradually became clearer, and the air around the body became colder... Of course, Gao Ding's heart also became colder at the same time.

Outside the entrance of the valley, there are all neat arrays of soldiers of the Han army, most of whom are armed with powerful crossbows... This gave the most direct explanation for the dead bodies just now.

A Xuankai general sat on his horse and stood in the army formation. At this time, Li Yan was riding his horse out of the crowd.

In Li Yan's eyes, Gao Ding and others who rushed out of the fire on their mounts were also very conspicuous among most of the walking barbarians.

"Gao Ding! Do you still know Qianwei Li Zhengfang?" Li Yan smiled while twisting his beard on the horse.

The clansman next to Gao Ding who had been to Qianwei immediately translated it. After hearing this, he pointed at Li Yan with a big ax in his hand: "The Han people are insidious and cunning, and they will only use such tricks! If you are a warrior, come forward and fight with me. !"

"Hehe, Gao Ding, your every move is under the control of my army division. Now that the defeat is settled, why don't you surrender early?"

"Bah!" Gao Ding raised his big axe and shouted, "Boys, follow me to kill the enemy, there is still a chance of capturing that Shu general! Drive!"

After he said that, he clamped his legs into the horse's belly, and led the remaining soldiers, howling, to rush straight to Li Yan's army.

Li Yan is not a soft-hearted person who is indecisive, his face turned cold and he waved his hands: "Let the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh...!
The crossbows were fired in rows, and the arrows of the crossbows shot out flatly. Waves of gleaming iron cluster arrows attacked Gao Ding and the others, shooting them into a sieve with both men and horses.

The shouting almost stopped abruptly, only a few guys who didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky were not dead yet, and were still moaning and howling.

Gao Ding was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and there were still a few holes where the crossbow arrows could not be seen, bleeding was bubbling, his eyes were wide open, and he died in a terrible state.

The soil at the mouth of the valley has long been stained red with blood, presumably the plants here will grow extremely luxuriantly in the future...

……

Gao Xiang led [-] soldiers to guard Beishui Nanshan. His army occupied the high ground and guarded the east and west trails. Neither the Qingqiang cavalry nor the barbarians from the south dared to cross.

Tried several times, but the upward attack was unfavorable, and the cavalry lost all their advantages, and they were unable to advance an inch.

Zhuge Liang led [-] soldiers from Beishui to the north, and set up an array in an open place, facing the more than [-] allied forces coming south.

Facing three times as many enemy troops, Zhuge Liang, who seldom personally led the troops, commanded firmly. While the flags were waving, the various departments of the Han army interspersed and cooperated with each other.

The front army retreats, and the flanks press forward. When the formation opens, one part of the enemy will be lured to go deep. When the formation is closed, all the troops will attack the enemy in the formation together.

The coalition forces that could not be said to be cooperating were directly beaten and forced. What kind of thing is this, have we never seen it? !

When the enemy army came, there were only a few thousand men and horses, why did it look like there were Shu troops in all directions when they fought? !

Hex!This fucking must be a demon!
