Chapter 290: Ghost Sorrow Falls
If the Wei army sets up an ambush at this time, then they will really have no way to go to the sky or to the earth.
The Wu soldiers broke into a cold sweat and nervously looked at the incoming troops on the opposite side. Although they were extremely tired, they still reluctantly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.
Zhuge Ke also frowned. It was not far from Guichou Stream. However, Zhuge Ke had told Lu Ju, who was staying behind, to always be wary of sneak attacks by the Wei army.
.
In other words, there is a great possibility that the army appearing on the opposite side is not the Wu army but the Wei army's ambush. If Sima Yi is good at calculations, he can secretly ambush an army in front of Guichou Stream, and he can really do nothing.
It's time to be captured.
With Sima Yi's scheming nature, this is probably really possible.
Zhuge Ke ordered the Wu army to be prepared to meet the enemy. He also knew the current situation of the Wu army. It needed physical strength and energy, and it needed energy and energy. If it encountered an ambush by the Wei army who was recharging its energy and waiting for work, this battle would be really difficult to fight.
But no matter how difficult the fight is, he cannot just sit back and wait for death, so Zhuge Ke is determined to fight to the death and fight his way back to Guichou Stream no matter what.
Just when the soldiers of the Wu army were arrayed to meet the enemy and were on full alert, the figures on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and gradually it was possible to tell that the clothes worn by the soldiers were all black and black armor.
Black clothes and black armor are the standard military uniforms of the Wu Army. There is no doubt that this is one of their own. The soldiers of the Wu Army secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zhuge Ke did not relax his vigilance. The Wei people could also pretend to be Wu Jun. Wasn't his father assassinated to death because Cao Liang led someone pretending to be Wu Jun and sneaked into the camp?
This time he did not take it lightly. If these Wei soldiers pretended to be Wu soldiers and approached, they would be caught off guard. Zhuge Ke ordered the enemy to stop their advance and asked loudly: "Who is coming?"
The person on the other side replied: "Is this General Zhuge? The last general, Lu Ju, has been waiting here for a long time."
When Wu Jun heard that it was Lu Zhi, Wu Jun was completely relieved. The Wei people could pretend to be Lu Zhi by wearing black clothes and armor, but they couldn't pretend to be Lu Zhi himself.
When Zhuge Ke heard that it was Lu Ju, he was not happy but worried. He suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart. He immediately ordered someone to pass Lu Ju to the front. Soon, Lu Ju came on horseback. As he approached, he jumped off the horse and handed over his hand.
And worship.
Zhuge Ke said in a deep voice: "Shiyi, I ordered you to guard Guichoujian camp and not leave for a moment. Why did you leave your post without permission?"
Lu Ju said with a look of shame on his face: "Reporting to the general, the general was incompetent and lost the Guichoujian camp."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with shock. Guichoujian camp was their only way back now. If this road was cut off, there would be no way out.
Zhuge Ke asked him why, and Lu Ju answered him truthfully.
It turned out that after Zhuge Ke led his troops away, Lu Ju was ordered to guard Guichou Stream, and he did not dare to relax for a moment. For many days in a row, everything was fine.
Until last night, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of Guichoujian Mountain. They were all wearing black clothes and black armor, carrying the banner of Wu Jun. The Wu Jun who was guarding the camp asked about it and claimed that they were Liu Zan's subordinates.
Lu Ju didn't know whether it was true or false, so he didn't dare to fire arrows easily, so he had to let them come to the camp to verify the true and false.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this army arrived in front of the camp, they suddenly launched an attack on the Wu army's camp. Lu Ju led his army to meet the enemy in a hurry, but was outnumbered, and the Wei army quickly broke through the camp.
This time, the Wei army's surprise attack on Guichoujian was led by Hu Fen. They disguised themselves, pretending to be Liu Zan's subordinates, and had just retreated after being defeated.
Although he was not able to directly enter Wu Jun's camp with this identity, he rushed outside the camp and avoided the most dangerous mountain road. Before Wu Jun could ask for details, Hu Fen had already initiated
After a surprise attack, they all threw their torches into the Wu army camp. The raging fire burned down the fences of the camp, creating an opportunity for the Wei army to invade the camp.
Caught off guard, although Lu Zheng led his army to resist, the Wei army continued to kill them. Their strength was several times that of the Wu army. They had a clear advantage. After a while, the entire camp fell.
Lu Ju had no choice but to lead his remaining troops to break out of the encirclement. He was about to find Zhuge Ke's large army when he happened to bump into it.
Zhuge Ke looked at Lu Zhi, whose armor was torn and covered in blood, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Heaven will destroy me, Zhuge Ke!"
Guichou Stream is Zhuge Ke's only hope at the moment. As long as it can hold Gui Chou Stream, the Wu army at least has hope of equalizing. But now that Gui Chou Stream has been lost, Zhuge Ke has suffered a complete defeat.
What's worse is that Guichou Stream is a chokepoint on the stone road and the only passage to Wancheng. Now that Guichou Stream is acquired by the Wei army, it is equivalent to blocking Zhuge Ke's way back south. There is a blockage in front.
There were pursuers behind, so we were in a desperate situation. No wonder Zhuge Ke looked up to the sky and lamented, "Heaven is going to kill me!"
The news that Guichoujian had been lost quickly spread among the Wu army. Everyone in the Wu army was in danger and looked desperate.
At this time, Lu Ju said to Zhuge Ke: "General Zhuge, I finally know that there is a secret mountain road. Although it cannot lead directly to Wancheng, it can lead to the trailer. As long as the trailer is not lost, our army still has a glimmer of hope."
Zhuge Ke's eyes lit up, this was really a bright future, and he said to Lu Ju: "Shiyi, please lead the way and go to the trailer immediately."
They have been staying here for a long time, and they can hear the pursuers of the Wei army approaching behind them. If they don't leave, they may not be able to leave. Since Lu Ju knows a secret path, Zhuge Ke has grasped a life-saving straw. How?
Dare to give up easily again, he immediately ordered the entire army to rush to the trailer along this path.
Trailer Gorge is another canyon to the east of Jia Shi Road leading to Wancheng. Jia Shi can barely be regarded as a road, but Trailer Gorge is basically a primitive canyon with basically no way to go.
However, in order to prevent the Wei army from sneaking across from the trailer gorge, Zhuge Ke sent his troops to station here. As long as the trailer gorge was not lost, Zhuge Ke's Wu army still had hope of escaping.
The Wu army climbed over mountains and ridges, overcoming thorns and obstacles, and finally got rid of the Wei army's pursuit and arrived at the trailer.
Bu Zhao encountered only a blockade from the Wei army outside the Pisces Gorge. After a day of fierce fighting, Bu Zhao was unable to overcome it. In desperation, Bu Zhao had to retreat and return to the trailer.
