The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Armor Ridge is ten miles behind Yiling.The terrain here is like a slightly curved arm, with two big mountains on both sides, and a not too deep valley in the middle connecting the two big mountains.Form a V-line.Liu Bei led Guan and Zhang to arrive here with ten thousand soldiers and horses, and looked up.Letting out a sigh of relief, the detour to Yiling from the small path can be regarded as exhausted.

The mountain trails are extremely difficult to walk, with cliffs and thorns everywhere.Every step has to pay the price of blood.Many war horses became unruly because they couldn't stand the pain of the thorns, and the knights were thrown off the horses and fell into the deep ravine and died.Liu Bei ordered to march on foot, so the walking speed was much slower.After arriving on the ground in Jingzhou, in order to avoid the people traveling during the day, they had to march at night.Yiling is a mountainous place with difficult roads, and many soldiers took the opportunity to desert.When they arrived at Armao Ridge, there were less than [-] soldiers left from the [-] troops.

"Brothers, Xu Huang's camp is in front of us, and we will set up our camp here! Attack tomorrow!" Liu Bei looked around, and found that this Armu Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the side facing Yiling is a steep slope, if you want to go up It was a bit difficult, so he stationed his army in Armu Ridge.

Long Fei led [-] soldiers and horses to rush there, and there was still a mile to go. The scouts came to report, and found a large number of Shu troops in Armouling, led by Liu Zida Banner.Long Fei frowned: "It's really fast!"

Dian Wei smiled slightly: "Boss, don't worry, this battle must let them taste my old Dian's double halberds!"

Long Fei shook his head slightly: "We have few troops, they have many troops, and they have an advantage in the terrain. I'm afraid it's impossible to attack by force. Now it seems that we can only outwit them!"

Xu Chu said: "Then rob the camp tonight. If they dare to go deep into our hinterland, they will not be able to fight for a long time. As long as their food and grass are burned, the Shu army will be in chaos if they don't fight!"

"Don't startle the snake!" Meng Shuo hurriedly said, "Liu Bei's going around behind our army is to attack Zhuge Liang back and forth. He must send troops. Why don't we lie in ambush here, and when Liu Bei marches tomorrow, we will catch him by surprise?"

"This plan is more reliable!" Long Fei grabbed Meng Shuo and whispered in his ear for a while, Meng Shuo smiled all over his face, agreed, and immediately beckoned people to follow him.

Before dawn, Liu Bei was very active. He had already got up, went to one of the large tents, and immediately ordered people to find Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Liang.Guan and Zhang arrived in no time, but Ma Liang didn't see him for a long time.Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to look for him.As soon as he walked to the entrance of the big tent, he saw Ma Liang coming in disheveled and yawning.Liu Bei laughed and said, "Did you sleep well yesterday when joining the army?"

Ma Liang ignored him, turned his face to look at the sky outside: "It's really early, my lord, it's not yet dawn!"

"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed, "Now it's a tough battle, so I can't take care of that much. I'm here today to talk about the attack on Yiling."

Ma Liang kept a straight face, yawned profusely, and said nothing.Guan Yu said: "The scouts patrolled around us and didn't find any soldiers and horses of the Dragon Army. They probably didn't find us. It's time to attack."

Zhang Fei said: "Second brother is right, what is there to discuss about this, can't we just kill him?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "You still don't understand Long Fei. This man always likes to use insidious tricks. All the generals under him are masters of military use. If no one is found, it doesn't mean that Xu Huang didn't find us. At this time, he is afraid to ambush us when he attacks!"

"Brother is always so cautious!" Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied: "We have an army of [-], and Xu Huang also has [-]. What are you afraid of him?"

Ma Liang smiled: "The three generals are right, kill them directly, and there are military advisers on the opposite side to support them, even if Xu Huang has three heads and six arms, he can't deal with it."

Liu Bei didn't answer, and said to himself: "I intend to divide the army into three waves. The first wave will go first, in case Long Fei has an ambush. The second wave will be the central army led by the second and third brothers to go straight to Xu Huang's camp. Soldiers and horses are used as preparations, and if something unexpected happens, you can retreat with your body!"

Ma Liang yawned again: "Then do as the lord wants, and send troops immediately!"

Liu Bei glanced at Ma Liang, then shook his head: "It's just that the former military commander has not been decided yet, who does Mr. Ma think is suitable?"

"Huh?" Ma Liang was taken aback, and immediately put back the yawn he had just yawned, and looked at Liu Bei: "My lord will not let me go, right? I am just a counselor, and I have never led an army. I will lead the army." I'm afraid it's not right!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Mr. Ma is too modest. Mr.'s ability is rare in the world. As the former army commander, I think it is perfect. This time there is Mr. Lao. After I go back, I will definitely tell the military adviser that the victory in this battle is due to Mr. Ma's contribution." !"

"You!" Ma Liang swallowed the words, glared at Liu Bei viciously, and walked out with a flick of his sleeve.

Xu Huang felt that his coach was a bit useless.There are only [-] soldiers in Yizhou, and I can't handle it. If it weren't for Long Fei and Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang would have made dumplings.If he is defeated, he will lose face as a general.Looking at Guo Jia who was still drinking, Xu Huang couldn't bear it any longer: "Military Master, it's been a day, and Zhuge Liang hasn't moved at all. Is he afraid to come?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "General Xu, don't worry, although Zhuge Liang is cunning, he can't get out of my palm. I have already set up sentries outside his camp. If there is any disturbance, I will report it immediately. The general just waits." that is."

Xu Huang scratched his head and let out a long sigh: "I really want to kill him, so as not to wait so uncomfortable!"

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang was also on guard against Xu Huang's sudden attack.Although he has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, he hasn't had enough food for several days, and his morale is low.Head-to-head is definitely not enough, and only this method of pinching back and forth may work.But he was also worried that this must be the land of Jingzhou, soldiers and horses from Nanjun or Xiangyang could come to reinforce him at any time, if Liu Bei was besieged, he would have no choice but to save him.

"Go and find Wei Yan!" Zhuge Liang ordered his subordinates while looking at the map.

Wei Yan raised the tent curtain and walked in.Zhuge Liang glanced at him: "Wei Yan, do you dare to attack Xu Huang?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes: "As long as the military adviser gives the order, the subordinate officials will obey their orders!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang beckoned Wei Yan to pass.Before coming to the map, Zhuge Liang pointed to a few small circles: "This place is Xu Huang's soldiers and horses. There are three places in total. They just want to keep us out of Jingzhou. I have sent people to check. I have less than five hundred soldiers and horses, I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and you can take these three checkpoints to me within half a day!"

"No!" Wei Yan didn't hesitate, took the command arrow, turned around and walked out the door.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly called out: "Wei Yan, this place is not far from Xu Huang's camp, so be careful."

An alarm came from the checkpoint in the southwest. Wei Yan, a general of the Shu army, was attacking with a thousand soldiers and horses, asking Xu Huang for help.Xu Huang grabbed his helmet and was about to go out.Guo Jia blocked Xu Huang's way with his hand: "General Xu, this is Zhuge Liang's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Don't fall for it!"

"But what about the checkpoint? There are five hundred soldiers there!"

Guo Jia took another sip: "It's a small trick, the general can send someone to withdraw all the soldiers from the three checkpoints, and this plan will fail!"

Xu Huang was taken aback: "Well, what if Zhuge Liang passes by?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Zhuge Liang won't pass by. I also hope that he will pass. As long as Zhuge Liang dares to enter our Jingzhou, his death will come!"

Xu Huang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! Just listen to the military advisor!"

Wei Yan came back excitedly to give orders within an hour after leaving.Zhuge Liang was taken aback: "You took down all three checkpoints so quickly?"

Wei Yan smiled and nodded: "Jingzhou's soldiers are vulnerable. As soon as our army arrived, they ran away and killed the first one. The other two have long since disappeared! Military advisor, shall we attack Xu Huang's camp immediately?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time.He has already guessed that there must be a problem, but he still doesn't understand where the problem lies.Look at the markers on the map that indicate the deployment of troops on both sides.Zhuge Liang was lost in thought.

Long Fei leaned against the tree and took a nap.Chen Dao gently pushed him awake, and said in a low voice, "Master, here we come! Liu Bei is here!"

Long Fei got up, looked around, and drew out his sword: "Brothers, get ready to move!"

Ma Liang was very helpless, and there was nothing good to follow Liu Bei's appointment.As soon as he arrived in Yiling, Liu Bei asked himself to test whether Xu Huang had ambushed. Looking at the dark woods on both sides, Ma Liang's heart was already in his throat.In this situation, it is strange that there is no ambush.He should have attacked on the day he came to Armu Ridge, but Liu Bei had to rest for a night.This place is only ten miles away from Xu Huang's camp, and people have already found out about it.

"Cheer up! Be careful around, and report any changes immediately!" Ma Liang ordered loudly on horseback.

Exhausted by exhaustion and hunger, the soldiers couldn't raise their hands at all.A pawn in the front stopped suddenly, and looked around vigilantly with wide-eyed eyes.The soldiers behind did not stop, and bumped into the person in front.Immediately, the entire marching brigade was in full swing.

Long Fei looked at this group of soldiers and horses, counted the torches briefly, and shook his head frequently: "That's not right! Why are there so many fewer people?"

Dian Wei said: "Never mind him, kill him first, and then eat the fat meat that comes to you!"

Another scout ran over quickly, panting and told Long Fei about Liu Bei's division of troops.Long Fei nodded: "No wonder, Liu Bei actually used two thousand soldiers and horses as bait, brothers, let me see that, let's kill his bait first, so that Liu Bei dare not move forward, as long as Liu Bei does not come, Zhuge Liang Don’t dare to come! Shoot the arrows!”

Suddenly, countless arrows flew out from the dark woods on both sides.The Shu army was still arguing and didn't react at all. The sudden blow made the Shu army dizzy. There were arrows everywhere, and they didn't know where to hide.Ma Liang was shocked, jumped off his horse in a hurry, and hid behind a tree, watching the howling soldiers and horses, he had no way to deal with it for a while.

"Kill...!" A huge shout of killing came from the woods, and the frightened Shu army no longer cared about resisting, turning their heads one by one and running in panic.
