Chapter 272

Zhuge Ke had a detailed battle plan for this ambush. He took advantage of the unforgiving terrain and formulated a tactic of closing the door and beating the dog. That is, after all the Wei troops entered the ambush circle, he sent out the Wu troops.

The most elite troops cut off the Wei army's retreat, and took advantage of the geographical feature of Wuqiangkou surrounded by mountains on three sides to annihilate the Wei army in Wuqiangkou in one fell swoop.

This was originally the territory of the Wu State. After Zhuge Ke stationed in Wancheng, he visited Wuqiangkou many times for on-site inspections. He was very familiar with the terrain and terrain here. Where to set up an ambush, where to block attacks, and where to send reinforcements, Zhuge Ke

All have detailed arrangements. This is Zhuge Ke's home court. Taking advantage of the right time and place, he can exert his strongest combat power.

The reason why Zhuge Ke set up an ambush at Wuqiangkou was after careful consideration. The plain area from Yiyang to Jiashi was not within the scope of his consideration. It would be too difficult to ambush in the plains, and the Wei army had powerful cavalry, so the Wu army had a higher probability of victory.

Basically not big.

In the area close to Guichou Stream, Wei army reinforcements can arrive at any time, which is not conducive to an ambush.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhuge Ke chose the location of the ambush at Wuqiang Pass. Although the mountains here are not very dangerous and the valley at the pass is also somewhat wide, the ambush operation is all about suddenness and concealment. As long as

The Wu army was able to trap the people and vehicles of the Wei army's grain transport team at the bottom of the valley. With the powerful close combat capabilities of the Danyang soldiers, the battle was enough to end within an hour or two. Even if the Wei army elsewhere wanted to rescue them, they were beyond their reach and could not be broken down by water.

Almost thirsty.

In addition, the terrain conditions at Wuqiangkou were average, and ordinary people would not consider setting up an ambush here. The Wei army obviously did not worry about encountering an ambush. They focused on marching on their way, unaware that the danger had quietly arrived.

Zhuge Ke waited patiently for all the Wei troops to enter the encirclement, and then calmly ordered the attack.

The first to take action was the Wu army ambushing inside Wuqiangkou, under the command of Tang Zi. After receiving the military order, he ordered the Wu army to drop the stones and rolling logs that had been prepared.

These rocks and logs were placed on the slope in advance and tied with thick ropes. When attacking, just cut the ropes and the rocks and logs would roll down the mountain.

Due to the steep slope of the mountain, these rocks and logs rolled down at an extremely fast speed, and there was a deafening roar, which sounded like a landslide and the earth was cracking. People suspected that it was either an earthquake or a landslide.

The pass in the depths of Wuqiangkou was extremely narrow. When these rocks and rolling logs fell, the direction of the Wei army's advance was blocked in the blink of an eye. A grain truck happened to be in the area where the rolling logs and rocks fell.

Before the driver could react, the boulders and logs had already rolled down. The grain truck and the driver were unable to dodge and were crushed directly underneath. The grain truck was torn into pieces and the people were bloody.

The purpose of the Wu army was to first block the way forward for the Wei army. These rolling logs and stones piled up like a hill, several feet high, and completely blocked the way forward.

The incident happened in a hurry, and the vanguard of the Wei army turned pale with shock and hurriedly reported the situation to Ren Lan and Cao Liang.

This was just the first attack launched by the Wu army. Just as stones and rolling logs were thrown in front, the Wu army behind, led by Liu Zan, had already rushed down the hillside and cut off the Wei army's retreat.

Already.

Wuqiangkou is in the shape of a huge trumpet. Near the entrance of the valley, it is almost a mile wide. However, as you go further in, the valley shrinks sharply. At the area where the Wu army dropped wood and rocks, it is only a dozen feet wide.

Wu Jun cut off the head and tail, which was equivalent to sealing in the more than 10,000 Wei troops who entered Wuqiang Pass, like making dumplings.

The Wu army was the first to attack. Zhuge Ke wanted to use lightning speed to seal off the front and back roads of Wu Qiangkou, and then slowly take down this turtle in the urn. Anyway, the Wei army

Trapped in the valley, with the sky and the earth not responding, Zhuge Ke had enough patience to divide and cannibalize the more than 10,000 Wei soldiers.

At the same time, he ordered that the reward for Cao Liang is still valid. Anyone who captures Cao Liang or beheads Cao Liang can still get the huge reward he announced before.

The entire Wu Army was boiling at this moment. You must know that last time Cao Liang was hiding in Anfeng City, whose city walls were solidly defended like a rock. Just like that, the Wu Army soldiers still bravely took the lead and persevered in launching round after round of attacks on Anfeng City.

He still didn't give up the attack despite the piles of corpses, which shows how tempting the huge bounty is.

But now Cao Liang is trapped in a valley with no strong entrance. Not only does it not have a strong wall like Anfeng City, but there is not even a way out. Cao Liang is like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

After all, among the thousands of troops, there was only one person who could capture Cao Liang, so the Wu army was jealous and wanted to be the one who captured Cao Liang's head. So after the attack order was given, the Wu army soldiers rushed to the bottom of the mountain in a swarm.

Go, everyone wants to compete for this top spot.

It stands to reason that when dealing with enemy troops in an encirclement, especially when they are in a commanding position, the attacking party can completely use the terrain to carry out long-range attacks. In this way, it can effectively kill the enemy troops and reduce the casualties of its own troops. At the same time, it can also

Destroy the enemy's morale.

Launch an attack at the beginning and enter into a hand-to-hand battle, so that both sides have equal opportunities. The brave one wins when they meet in a narrow road. In a hand-to-hand battle, whoever can fight to the end is the real winner.

Zhuge Ke's prior arrangement was indeed to launch long-range strikes with bows and arrows first after encircling the Wei army. However, after the military order was given, these Wu soldiers had no intention of slowing down and rushed down in one breath like a sprint of 100 meters.

, rushed directly into the Wei army's battle formation.

As a result, the archers of the Wu army behind were at a loss with their bows and arrows. All the men and horses on their side had already rushed forward. If they were shooting arrows at this time, wouldn't they accidentally injure one of their own?

Are you going to fight so hard for Cao Liang's head?

However, after thinking about it, these archers quickly packed up their bows and arrows, picked up their swords and guns, and joined the attacking ranks. Cao Liang's head was equivalent to getting more glory and wealth than they could use in several lifetimes. Not only did they themselves

You can save half your life from struggling, and your children and grandchildren will enjoy it endlessly.
