Chapter 276
The strength of the Danyang soldiers was fully demonstrated at this moment. No matter how powerful the Wei army launched, they could never break through this line of defense.
The current situation of the Wei army is indeed extremely dangerous. There is no way to open a gap in the front, and the pursuers behind are pressing forward step by step. If the battle continues like this, the Wei army will be in a dilemma, and it is very likely that it will encounter disaster.
Ren Lan was really anxious at this time. He was a scholar and had no strength to restrain a chicken. At this moment, he wished he could lead his troops to rush forward and fight a bloody path.
Cao Liang grabbed him, and with Ren Lan's skills, he would die if he went up!
"Ren Changshi, don't worry, there will be a way to break through."
Ren Lan was so anxious that his eyes were filled with tears. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, he would really be trapped here if he didn't think of a way. "Cao Canjun, we have to send someone to break out and notify the Xiaoqi camp. We can't kill them alone."
."
Cao Liang said calmly: "There is no chance of breaking out. The Wu people are very defensive. I am afraid not even a fly can fly out now."
"What should we do?" Ren Lan looked around, feeling a little desperate.
Cao Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, I have my own way."
Cao Liang ordered the Wei soldiers to collect some flammable debris, such as wood, leather armor, tents, food and grass, clothes and even the corpses of soldiers killed in battle, and pile them all into an open space as high as possible.
Although they didn't understand what was going on, they still followed the orders. Hundreds or thousands of people started working together, and they quickly built up a small mountain.
After seeing that it was almost enough, Cao Liang ordered the Wei soldiers to light the pile of debris. Since most of the piles were flammable, the fire soon started and burned ragingly.
However, because it had just rained, the temperature in the air was very high, and the fire was accompanied by bursts of thick smoke.
Cao Liang thought the smoke was not big enough, so he ordered the Wei soldiers to collect more moist combustibles and threw them into the fire. The raging fire was naturally controlled, and the smoke was billowing, choking the soldiers around them and coughing.
.
Zhuge Ke saw this scene on the top of the mountain. At first he thought Cao Liang was going to attack with fire, but it didn't look like it. Zhuge Ke secretly sneered. It seemed that Cao Liang thought he had no way to survive and was planning to set fire to himself.
, Wu Jun was not even given the opportunity to whip the corpse.
No matter what, as long as Cao Liang can be eliminated, Zhuge Ke's revenge for killing his father can be settled. And if Cao Liang's body is gone, Zhuge Ke can save a huge bounty, right?
But Zhuge Ke looked around and saw that it didn't look like Cao Liang was going to set himself on fire. If he wanted to set himself on fire, he had to at least make the fire a little louder. However, the fire was getting weaker and weaker, but the smoke was getting bigger and bigger.
Already.
Looking at the thick smoke billowing straight into the sky, Zhuge Ke suddenly realized that this was just smoke. The Wei army was using this method to notify the Wei army's cavalry ten miles away.
Zhuge Ke's expression suddenly changed. He ordered Wuqiang to be sealed up in order to prevent the Wei army from reporting to his cavalry and strive to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.
But when he defended himself before and after, he missed a piece of heaven. But then again, even if Zhuge Ke had thought of it in advance, there was no way for heaven to guard against it, right?
When Zhuge Ke saw the billowing smoke, he thought that the Wei cavalry ten miles away could definitely see it. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There will always be gaps in a hundred meters. He was really afraid that anything would come.

At this moment, the Xiaoqi battalion was resting leisurely in this small town called Qingzhu. They had to walk at least two days less than the infantry. No, this trip would take at least four days.
Of course, this is not because the Xiaoqi camp is being lazy, but because the rugged mountain road at Jia Shikou is not suitable for the cavalry. After Cao Liang and Ren Lan discussed it, they decided to leave the Xiaoqi camp outside Wuqiang Pass and wait for the army to arrive at the camp.
After delivering the food and grass, it's not too late to turn back and meet up with the Xiaoqi camp.
That's why the Xiaoqi Battalion was relocated to Qingzhu Town. It was said to be a small town, but in fact it was just a small village. Nearly three thousand cavalrymen stayed here at once, making Qingzhu Town suddenly feel like it was facing a formidable enemy.
Wen Qin ordered not to disturb the people. After all, this place is still considered the territory of the Wei Dynasty, so those living here are also the people of the Wei Dynasty.
Every time the army escorted grain and grass to Wuqiangkou, the Xiaoqi Battalion would stop at Qingzhu Town. This seemed to have become a routine. It was through this method that Cao Liang protected the horses of the Xiaoqi Battalion from having to endure the rugged mountain roads.
The rain finally stopped, but the weather has not cleared up yet, but Wen Qin is in a very good mood. Even though Xiaoqi Camp only has four more days of rest, it is extremely precious for Xiaoqi Camp.
Especially war horses. With these four extra days, these war horses can also recover from the fatigue of long journeys. After all, war horses cannot be equated with people. They cannot speak or understand people's intentions. They can work and rest.
, in order to keep the war horses active, otherwise when the war actually comes, the horses will be exhausted and it will be difficult to fight.
Just when Wen Qin was thinking about what to eat tonight, a soldier with sharp eyes saw the thick smoke rising from the direction of Wuqiangkou, and reported to Wen Qin: "Captain Wen, there seems to be a situation over there!
"
Wen Qin looked up and saw that there was indeed thick smoke billowing in the direction of Wu Qiang. Although the weather was gloomy, the smoke was still clearly visible. Wen Qin secretly yelled that it was not good. The Conquest of the Southern Army was just after Wu Qiang.
When you force your mouth, if you don't force your mouth, thick smoke suddenly rises. Doesn't it prove that something happened over there?
Qianhong and Liu Jing also discovered Wu Qiangkou's abnormal situation, so they rushed over and discussed with Wen Qin what to do.
Qian Hong took the lead and said: "This thick smoke is too strange. Should we send someone over to check what's going on?"
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "There is obviously something going on. It will take a lot of time to send people over. If something goes wrong with the army, it will be delayed. So no matter whether there is anything or not,
I suggest that the entire Xiaoqi battalion attack immediately to save them if something happens, it is better if nothing happens."
Wen Qin nodded. Liu Jing's words were exactly what he wanted. If the Zhengnan Army was attacked by the enemy, then the situation must be urgent. Just send a scout to find out if something went wrong, or it would be better to mobilize troops immediately. If something happened,
It's an emergency. If nothing happens, just treat it as a trot.
