Shu Chen

Sometimes it takes effort to realize that it doesn't help.

Even more ironic is that the only thing that can be proved by hard work is that I am more unbearable than I thought.

On the terrain where there is no room for ingenuity, Wei Zhengnan's general Wang Chang, who attacked Zheng Pu's army with absolute superiority of troops and felt that he would be able to break through the camp, proved this point.

Because he did break through the camp, but he also lost.

However, he said that in the face of three times the Wei army, Zheng Pu dared to split his troops and go back to a camp that was not strong enough to guard only with more than [-] people. His original intention was not just to create a simple fact that the Han army would return to Guanzhong and force Sima Yi to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible. He was sure enough to defeat the Jingzhou troops of Wei State!

And there is no need to rely on the help of ambush or other soldiers and horses.

He used fire attack!

Since ancient times, there has been no more disaster than fire and water, and the same is true of military disputes.

Wang Chang, who was relied on by Wei to guard the Jingxiang front, was not lacking in strategy and would naturally guard against ruthlessness, but what he did not expect was that Zheng Pu would launch a fire attack at the cost of his own camp.

Of course!

In Zheng Pu's heart, there has never been a passive tactic of defending the camp and waiting for the Wei army to attack for a long time.

For him, offense is the best defense.

This is also the reason why in his letter to the prime minister, he swore that "the decisive battle in Guanzhong is the time when the troops and horses of Wei Jingzhou are defeated".

The actual operation is also very simple.

Before separating the troops and horses back to the West City, he asked his soldiers to build a small inner camp overnight—a small camp surrounded by wooden stakes, and the entrance was only for seven or eight people to walk side by side.

This camp is also a passage, which is directly connected to the Dushui River Valley that escapes into the Wudang Mountains.

On the banks of the blocked water, many rafts have been prepared for a long time.

A very simple raft that cannot be used to transport supplies or ordnance.

But it was enough for the soldiers to temporarily camp and move down the river to several miles ashore.

In other words, Wei Jun, who had been trying to break through the camp, was doomed to be attacked by fire from the very beginning of the attack on Jianfu!

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

Let me ask, Zheng Pu used the dawn of victory that the Wei army longed for as a strategy to defeat the enemy. Even if Wang Chang, the general of Wei Zhengnan, was not lacking, how could he have expected it?

The development of the war was as Zheng Pu planned.

When the main forces of Wei Guoguanzhong moved, Wang Chang, who had been attacking the Han army camps for a long time, also began to take the personal guards as the first to attack under the order of "must contain Nishu Scarpu in the three east counties".

When Zheng Pu learned that Sima Yi had finally moved his troops, he also let the camp fall "on schedule" as Wei Jun wished and had a "tacit understanding".
At that time, the soldiers of the Wei army who occupied the low wall of the camp broke out with cheers of trembling mountains and rivers.

Even Wang Chang, who was supervising the battle, was a little unbelievable.

The joy of breaking the camp came too suddenly!
After all, he has been supervising the army for more than a month, and his soldiers have been killed and injured more than [-], but until the beginning of today's attack, all Wei soldiers have not seen any hope of breaking the camp!

How could he have expected that the flag of Wei State would fly above the low wall of the camp just after the attack for about a quarter of an hour?

Could it be that Ni Shu Scarpu learned that the decisive battle in Guanzhong had started, so he had quietly led his troops to escape last night, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the empty camp as a doubt?

This was the first reaction in Wang Chang's heart when the soldiers of the Wei army burst into cheers.

But a moment later, Sima, the commander of the front line, sent someone to report, claiming that an inner camp had been built in the Nishu camp, and he was relieved.

Without him, the more than a month of the Wei army's storming attack, regardless of casualties, was not nothing.

For example, the Yuan Rong crossbow and the big yellow crossbow of Nishu were damaged due to frequent use, and the fences and low walls made of stone and wood were also dilapidated, making it difficult to protect the soldiers and continue to fight on them.

Since there is an inner camp that can continue to defend, it is not surprising that Piscarpu gave up the outer defense.

However, the report that Sima, who was in command of the front line, sent people again, made him suspicious again: Ni Shu was retreating in a hurry!That so-called inner camp is a channel to escape into the blocked water!

So easily, did Scar Pu, known as "Wei Zhi Dao", be defeated?
For a time, he was stunned.

But the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and there is no room for hesitation.

With his disbelief, he would not miss the opportunity, even if he sounded the drum and ordered the whole army to march forward to seize the camp and pursue the soldiers of Shu.

No matter what, you can't let Piscarpu run away!

Otherwise, once he is allowed to escape into the southern foothills of the Wudang Mountains and retreat into Hanzhong, and then enter the Guanzhong for reinforcements from the Baoxie Valley, it will ruin the great plan of Yongliang Governor Sima Yi!

Also he was dismissed.

But okay.

Those Wei State soldiers who had been promised generous rewards for breaking the camp before the war rushed into the camp to pursue him before the drums sounded.

That can be Pi Scar Pu ah!

If he was beheaded, the biggest credit would be the main general, but these soldiers would not be treated lightly by the emperor.

Besides, they were fortunate enough to chase down the undefeated Scar Pu, enough for them to brag about this life!

Therefore, when Wang Chang personally arrived at the gate of the camp, what he saw was that the Han army still maintained a neat and sturdy formation, fighting and retreating, while the soldiers under his command had already been overwhelmed by the joy of breaking the camp. , there is no formation at all.

This situation also made his heart tremble.

He, who felt that the battle situation was unusual, found clues through the formation of the enemy and the enemy.

Outside the narrow passage that seems to be an inner camp, there are too many dead branches and dry wood scattered everywhere!

And there is also a faint smell of sulfur!

Even the putrid stench of countless accumulated corpses and the stench of blood could not cover it up.

Where is the defeat of Pi Scarpu~
It is clearly to lure the enemy!

"Ming Jin! Ming Jin!!"

With a terrified face, he turned around and pulled away his personal guards, shouting at the soldiers behind the golden drum and horn, "Quick Ming Jin, let all the soldiers leave the camp!"

This change made all Wei soldiers bewildered.

After finally breaking the camp against Shu, it was the time to pursue the battle to expand the victory. Why did Wang Chang want to call Jin to withdraw his troops?
However, they soon found out.

When Wang Chang found the clue and shouted loudly, Zheng Pu, who had already retreated to the side of the blocked water, also gave an order.

I saw countless Han troops with strong bows rounded their long bows and shot arrows tied with burning cloth strips, covering the entire camp with Zhu Rong's wrath.

Autumn is high and airy, and the sky is dry.

The deadwood fires mixed with grease and sulphur were ignited as scheduled.

The entire barracks was in flames, and it was only a matter of seconds before it was connected to the surrounding fences, cutting off all the Wei troops who had poured into the camp.What made people even more desperate was that the only inner camp channel that had not been on fire yet. After the last Han army entered, the soldiers guarding the channel cut off a few ropes, causing the sharp wooden raft to bounce off the ground. It blocked the hope of the Wei army soldiers to follow the Han army to the water.
