On the Wei side, Xiahou Ba received Cao Liang's notice and had already assembled his troops, preparing to attack the Wei army's positions.

Xiahou Ba had always been dubious about Cao Liang's words, so he was still prepared for a fierce battle with the Shu army.

When the fires all over the mountains and fields burned, Xiahou Ba realized that he was wrong. It turned out that the twigs and green leaves in spring could be ignited. When it really burned, the fire was no weaker than that of dry firewood. It seemed that after so many years, he

I have read all the books in vain. The so-called dry fire is not standard. A fire caused by wet wood is just as terrifying and has the ability to destroy the world.

One characteristic of forest fires is that they are extremely fierce. At the head of the fire, they have the ability to devour everything. But after the fire burns, their power is reduced sharply. Even the big trees are still burning fiercely, but once the fire burns,

After it was disconnected from the surrounding vegetation, it was left as a solitary flame, burning and losing its stamina.

Therefore, Xiahou Ba only waited for half an hour before leading his troops into the fire scene.

These roads were the roads that Xiahouba led his troops to attack a few days ago. It can be said that these roads were once filled with the corpses of Wei soldiers. Every time the Wei army took a step forward, they would pay a heavy price.

But at this moment, Xiahou Ba was just strolling forward, moving forward easily. The fire passed by, leaving almost no grass behind, and the vibrant green was gone. The entire mountain road was covered with ashes.

There was smoke everywhere and the remaining fire was not extinguished.

The Wei army moved forward without encountering any form of resistance. They easily controlled the strongholds previously controlled by the Shu army. They wanted to see if there were any remaining Shu army forces along the way and kill a few more people.

First of all, I can ask for merit when I return to Luoyang in the future.

However, the reality was very disappointing to them. Along the way, apart from the corpses they saw that had been burned beyond recognition and looked like half-coated coals, there was not even a single person who could breathe.

Although the burnt heads are still human heads, everyone knows that these are Cao Liang's achievements and have nothing to do with them.

If it must be related to them, then it was Cao Liang's fire that saved countless lives. If it weren't for this fire, the Wei army would have to attack Xingshi Mountain. According to the previous attack method,

Wei Jun could not yet estimate how many people would die here.

Now Xiahou Ba had captured Xingshi Mountain almost effortlessly. All he needed to do was to follow the fire. When the fire reached the place, he would occupy it and set up tight defenses to guard against the Shu army's counterattack.

But now Xiahou Ba's worries are completely unnecessary. The Shu army has to retreat quickly, let alone a counterattack. Now is the time of urgency, and they have the idea of ​​​​counterattack.

Wang Ping divided the 15,000 people into two groups. Liu Min led 7,000 people to station in the front mountain, and he led 8,000 elite troops to station in the back mountain.

The 8,000 men led by Wang Ping are not just a reserve force, but a mobile force hidden behind. Either Liu Min can no longer keep an eye on the front, or the Wei army turns to attack Gold, then Wang Ping needs to come to the rescue.

Yes, Wang Ping has a deep purpose in arranging this elite army here.

The distance between the front and rear armies of the Shu army was not too far, that is, about ten miles apart. The distance between the front mountain and the back mountain. When the fire broke out in the front mountain, Wang Ping had already seen it early in the morning, because the sky above his head was blocking the sky.

No one can turn a blind eye to the thick smoke of the sun.

Wang Ping initially thought that the fire was caused by accident, but the area burned was probably too large. Such thick smoke was not just an accident. Could it be that the Wei army launched a fire attack?

But the season is wrong for fire attack. In autumn and winter, the grass is withered, dry and windy, which is the most ideal time for fire attack. It is spring now, the grass is green and the leaves are green. Where can I find something to ignite the fire?

He immediately sent scouts to investigate as soon as possible, and soon got the reward. It turned out that the Wei army was actually setting fire to the mountain, and Liu Min had already led his army to retreat. Strangely enough, those lush green trees

When it catches fire, it is also very fierce.

All the generals were panicked for a moment, and they all advised Wang Ping to retreat quickly. The front mountain and the back mountain are all integrated into one. Since the fire can burn the front mountain, it will definitely burn the back mountain. If you retreat at this time, you can escape unscathed. If you really want to,

It was burned by the fire and couldn't leave even if I wanted to.

Wang Ping's eyes were calm, giving up was extremely easy, but giving up Xingshi Mountain was tantamount to handing over the dangers of Hanzhong to the Wei army. The Wei army could easily enter the Hanzhong Plain. Before the reinforcements arrived, Wang Ping could

How could Ping's 30,000 troops defeat Wei's 150,000 troops?

But if you don't give up, what will you do with the fire in front of you? Fire and water are ruthless. With the ferocious fire, it is simply impossible for the Shu army to put it out.

Wang Ping rolled his eyes and immediately realized the plan. He ordered his soldiers and horses to immediately cut down some dry firewood and pile it in the woods behind him. He also ordered his soldiers to light a few torches and held one in his own hand to light the pile.

Dry firewood.

The generals were so frightened that they thought Wang Ping had gone crazy. Some hugged his waist and some hugged his legs. They held Wang Ping tightly and begged bitterly: "General, please don't be short-sighted. Although you can defend Xingshi Mountain,

We can't stand it any longer, but we can still defend the Second City of Hanle. As long as we persist until the reinforcements from Fucheng arrive, we can still repel the enemy. Why bother, General?"

Wang Ping couldn't laugh or cry. He had obviously come up with a brilliant plan, but his subordinates mistakenly thought that he was seeking suicide. Time was tight and he had no time to explain. He ordered his soldiers to pull these people away and do it himself.

, and lit the pile of firewood.

This pile of firewood happened to be piled under a few tung trees that were most likely to catch fire. In a short time, the tung trees were already in flames and the whole tree was on fire.

When the generals saw the fire, they all collapsed on the ground in despair. Well, it was really over this time. The fire in front was about to burn. Wang Ping personally lit another fire in the back. This was not

What is digging your own grave?

Liu Min had climbed to the top of the front mountain of Xingshi Mountain at this moment. He originally thought that he could take a breather and soon they would be able to enter the Hanzhong Plain and escape from this Ananda hell. But when he set his sights on the back mountain, he suddenly
Chapter completed!
