"Mingzhi said it well. The defeat of the Wei army has been decided. We are just a matter of how much we win. Everyone doesn't have to be restrained in the account and walk around to avoid getting sick." Zhuge Liang said with a relaxed expression.

Although this handsome tent is not small, more than twenty people gather here, which inevitably seems a little crowded. In addition, it is cold in winter nights, the curtains are thick and tight, and five more braziers are formed, so the air in the tent is extremely unobstructed, and it is really uncomfortable for people to stay in it for a long time.

Yang Qing was already a little dizzy. Seeing Zhuge Liang say this, he felt relieved and was the first to rush out of the tent to breathe.

After taking a few breaths of fresh air, the dizziness immediately disappeared. Yang Qing moved his hands and feet, and was about to walk around, he suddenly saw the Chinese-character flag on the flagpole in front of the tent swinging southwest.

"Prime Minister, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing!" Yang Qing ran back to the tent and shouted excitedly.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. He surrounded everyone and came to the tent. He saw the northwest wind suddenly blowing, and there was a tendency to blow the yu squirm.

Thousands of Han troops in the mountains and forests southwest of Zikou Pass were ambushed here under Yuan Lin's leadership. The firelight in the valley not far away appeared and disappeared. There was the Wei army's camp.

At this time, there were also a group of people in the mountains southeast of Zikouguan. The leader was Wang Ping. They had bypassed the Wei army's battalion yesterday and came to the east side of Ziwu Valley, preparing to set fire with Yuan Jin's troops on the west side to attack the Wei army.

The north wind blew in winter, so Wang Ping and Yuan Lin discussed and decided to set fire from north to south so that they could use the power of the north wind to achieve the purpose of burning the camp.

Each of the Han army, who implemented the fire attack strategy, held a handful of thatch, which contained sulfur and yellow flames and salt. Each carried fire, each carried a crossbow, each with dry food, and each with swords and guns. However, when the northwest wind blew, it rushed out at the same time, setting fires with the wind, and chasing them day and night, only defeating the Wei army.

The Wei army camped dozens of camps, stretching for dozens of miles, and it was difficult for the Han army to burn them all. So Wang Ping and Yuan Lin made another plan to set fires at each Wei village and burn the Wei village to the north as much as possible. As for the Wei village to the south, it was left to fate. If you are lucky, the north wind would help the fire spread.

As the ugly moment approached, Wang Ping and Yuan Zhen both noticed that the northwest wind suddenly rose and each issued an order to attack.

But seeing nearly ten thousand Han troops suddenly broke out from the east and west sides of Ziwu Valley, they divided them into more than ten groups and launched a fire attack on the Wei army camp from the front of more than ten miles.

The shouts were trembling in an instant, rockets flew together, the wind was tight, the fire was everywhere, and fire snakes attacked the Wei army camp.

Almost at the same time, after Zhang He led more than 3,000 Wei soldiers quietly to Zikou Pass, he saw the north wind blowing, and even thought of the fire attack. He immediately ordered his deputy general Shao Heng to lead a thousand soldiers to launch a raid on the right wing of Zikou Pass from the east path. He led the remaining troops to attack the Han army camp behind Zikou Pass.

Six sound arrows soared into the sky and resounded through the sky. This was a signal that Zhang He and his men launched an attack from behind Zikou Pass.

Cao Zhen and Liu Ye were ecstatic after hearing the reward, and immediately ordered Xiahou Ba to launch the most fierce attack on Zikou Pass with the three thousand new forces who had been raising their energy for many days.

At this time, the one who was stationed in the Han army camp was Yu She's retreating and resting. They had been blocking the Wei army in the south of Zikou Pass for more than ten days. Unexpectedly, the Wei army would suddenly come from behind, and they were immediately caught off guard by the Wei army.

Zhang He was wearing two layers of armor, carrying a long sword, and led the way, rushing to the front, and the Wei soldiers followed closely behind. After only a few breaths, they rushed to the bottom of the village wall.

The Han army did not expect that the Wei army would come from behind. The construction of the camp was very simple. Not only did there be no trenches in front of the camp gate and deer antlers were arranged, but the village wall was not very tall, only one head taller than ordinary people, and the wall was not thick. It was just a row of fences made of branches. Therefore, the Wei army quickly broke several large holes with a knife and axe.

Zhang He led the Wei soldiers into the cave, igniting fires everywhere to create chaos, and fighting with hundreds of Han troops with strict armor that arrived.

Yu She's reaction was quite fast. He immediately assembled a team of about 300 people and formed a formation to rush to the camp gate to support him. However, it was still one step too late. The Wei army broke through the village wall and had already poured in. In addition, he had to lead his troops to rush forward and fight to the death.

However, most of these Wei soldiers were warriors with strong combat power. They were brave and good at fighting and extremely elite. They were led by Zhang He, a famous general of the Wei army. Although Yu She and others fought to the death, they could not resist it after all. They were defeated by the Wei army within less than a cup of tea. They were defeated like a mountain and fled in all directions.

The Wei army did not pursue and allowed the Han army to retreat from the camp. Under Zhang He's leadership, they turned to the north gate of Zikou Pass to attack.

The camp at the bottom of the pass was on fire, and soldiers had long reported it to Zhang Yi, who was on the pass. However, the Wei army in the south was very urgent to solve the problem, so he could not escape, so he had to rely on Yu She and the others to block it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang He's troops were so brave that the camp had changed its ownership in a moment. Two thousand Wei troops drove straight into the north gate, attacking the Wei army in the south, and the offensive was extremely powerful.

Most of the Han troops in these emperors were concentrated in Guannan. There were not many defenders in the north gate. Zhang He led his troops to attack with a fierce attack. The north gate soon became in danger. Zhang Yi had to squeeze out hundreds of troops from Guannan and let Lei Xiong take him to the north gate for support.

Yu She's troops were defeated. At this time, the Han army in Zikou Pass was less than 3,000, most of which were recruited by Zhang Yi in Tianshui County in the past one or two years. He had insufficient fighting experience and weak combat power.

Although there are dangerous passes to rely on, the external camps were lost and the morale of the Han army decreased. They were immediately killed by the Wei army attacked from both sides and the north and south, and they were only able to resist.

Zhang Yi knew that the current situation was extremely critical. Once Zikou Pass was captured by the Wei army, not only would the fire of the camp tonight have a risk of failure, but the Wei army would also have great disadvantages to the entire battle situation after it escaped from the valley. There was no other way at this moment, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere, hoping that Chang'an reinforcements arrived in time.

"Fire, fire, the Lord of the Mansion, there is a fire in the south!"

Zhang Yi was shooting and killing the Wei soldiers who were climbing the wall with all concentration. Suddenly, he heard a personal guard beside him shouting excitedly. He hurriedly looked up and saw the fires in the valley in the distance soaring into the sky. He knew that Wang Ping, Yuan Jing and the others had already taken action. As long as he guarded the pass, the Wei army would definitely be defeated tonight.

"Brothers, hold on. If there is any mistake in the rear of the Wei army, they will soon retreat. If you hold on for a while, the reinforcements will arrive soon." Zhang Yi moved back and forth on the wall, constantly cheering the soldiers.

The fire that soared into the sky could not be hidden from the Wei army, Cao Zhen and Liu Ye learned that there were tens of thousands of Han soldiers fighting to set fire behind him, and they were shocked and their hands and feet were cold and sweating profusely.

"Reported, Grand Sima, seven or eight camps have been burned down. The fire is too big and our army cannot extinguish it. Moreover, the north wind is strong and the fire spreads south. Except for the front camp, more than ten camps behind may not be able to be saved." A lieutenant rushed into the commander's tent and reported urgently.

Cao Zhen was so panicked that he was speechless that he shouted incoherently: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Seeing that Zikou Pass was about to be broken and our army was about to escape, why would the Sichuan thieves launch a fire attack on our army at this time?"

"Don't panic, Grand Sima, be calm now. The wind is strong tonight, and it is indeed a good time to launch a fire attack, so we are still careless. Zhuge Liang's trick is amazing, it's really amazing!" Liu Ye said.
