The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 523
With an army of [-], it took several days to dig out a trap and set up a few camps. Ready to stop, waiting for the arrival of Temujin's army.

Zhuge Liang's prediction was accurate. From Taiyuan to Changshan County, almost all roads are mountainous. In the middle, they have to cross the dangerous mountains and rivers of Taihang Mountain. It was too difficult to cross mountains and ridges. Originally, the cavalry could barely march 30 miles a day, but the heavy armored cavalry was held back. They could only march more than 400 miles a day. The [-]-mile journey was exhausting for Temujin. After suffering a lot, it took eleven days to march all the way here!

After much difficulty, Temujin arrived at the foot of Yunpan Mountain, and after crossing Yunpan Mountain, it can be said that he entered the hinterland of Changshan County.

"General Yelu, is there any news from Boershu?"

Temujin asked Yerusha who was beside him.

Yelusha quickly replied: "Khan, the news of our dispatch of troops spread to Changshan City. Before General Boershu sent troops to attack Changshan, Zhuge Liang actually sent troops first. Forty thousand troops marched towards the camp of Boershu. With no chance of winning, the main force was withdrawn and stationed north of the Hutuo River."

"Hmph! It's expected!"

Temujin sneered and said: "Zhuge Liang is not an ordinary person. He knows that once our main force arrives at Changshan City and the two armies unite, there will be [-] elite cavalry and [-] heavy armored cavalry. Although Zhuge Liang's strength is not weak, he is not sure about it Being able to defend Changshan City and take the initiative to attack is his only chance. After defeating Boershu, he can use his troops to us and fight our main force. Unfortunately, Boershu didn't fight him head-on at all, and directly pulled his troops away To the east of the Hutuo River, Zhuge Liang can only look at the river and sigh."

Yelusha nodded and said: "Khan is right. Now that Zhuge Liang has deployed all his main forces to the Hutuo River area, the defense of Changshan City must be empty. There is almost no defense along this road, which is convenient for our army to drive straight in!"

Temujin nodded and said: "Once you pass Yunpan Mountain, then order Tuobagui and Duguxin to lead [-] elite cavalry to go straight to the Hutuo River, and Boershu to attack Zhuge Liang's main force along the Hutuo River. Wan Jingqi directly encircled Changshan City and cut off Zhuge Liang's connection with Changshan County. Once our heavy cavalry arrives, it will be Zhuge Liang's doomsday! Pass the order, the army does not have to stay, and must cross Yunpan Mountain before dusk today!"

It was just around noon now, and there were at least three hours before dusk. It was not too difficult for the army to cross Yunpan Mountain in three hours. Temujin's cavalry rushed in like this.

In the valley of Yunpan Mountain, teams of cavalry walked side by side. In order to speed up and also to guard against sneak attacks by cavalry, Temujin changed the marching state of the cavalry, and a large number of cavalry rushed in like this , In less than half an hour, all the cavalry got into this huge valley of Yunpan Mountain.

Temujin felt very at ease. Zhuge Liang's main force had already headed to Hutuo River. There was definitely a defensive vacuum in the western part of Changshan County. If that was the case, what did he have to worry about?What's more, the valley of Yunpan Mountain is extremely empty, with a width of three or four miles from north to south, and a length of more than eight miles. Such a huge space, even if Zhuge Liang wants to ambush here, there is nothing he can do in such an open area. He killed his own cavalry!
Marching at full strength, leaving no time for Zhuge Liang to react, when he reacted, he was already approaching the city. If Zhuge Liang returned to help, he would be caught in the pincer attack of Tuobagui Duguxin and Boershu. Attacking [-] pawns on horseback is definitely a sure thing, even if Zhuge Liang is a god, it is difficult to reverse this situation!
However, what Temujin didn't know was that Zhuge Liang's main force was to drive Borshu back to the east of the Hutuo River, but after driving Borshu away, Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun led the main force back. , Going straight to Yunpan Mountain, now Zhuge Liang's main force is not on the Hutuo River, but on Yunpan Mountain!
If it is in normal times, such an empty Yunpan Mountain is definitely not suitable for ambush deployment. After all, the space is too large. Such a large valley can easily hold Temujin's [-] cavalry, which is more than enough, and there is too much room for maneuvering. The cavalry can charge in it, how can such a valley ambush the cavalry?
However, Zhuge Liang chose this place for no other reason than the cold winter, dry weather, and the withering of thousands of trees. In the valley, the dead branches and leaves alone would have fallen nearly a foot thick, even if there was no open fire. , as long as there is a little spark, it can become a prairie fire, so what if the place is empty?When a fire breaks out, it is overwhelming, and with the help of the wind, it can sweep across the entire valley in an instant!

On the top of the mountain, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang He watched the cavalry outside the Great Wall in the valley coldly. It took half an hour for Temujin's army to enter the valley. At this moment!
Cheng Yaojin suddenly waved his hand into the air, and a loud arrow shot into the sky. On the mountain top, nearly ten thousand infantrymen stood up one after another, revealing their lineup!

"shoot!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, and one by one the pawns shot out the rockets in their hands!

In this valley, there are not only dead branches and leaves, but also buried sulfur and flames, and even gunpowder. In an instant, the fire was ignited, sweeping from both sides to the middle, thick smoke Rise everywhere, covering the sky and blocking out the sun!

Temujin's face changed drastically, ambush!Zhuge Liang actually laid an ambush here!
"Command the three armies to advance at full speed and rush out of the valley!"

At this time, although Temujin was shocked, he had not lost any control after all. He had no way to retreat now. If he could not cross Yunpan Mountain at this time and the fire burned the mountain, the road would be completely blocked, and half of it would be blocked. Yuexiu wanted to pass through the army, how could he make a detour at this time?
Fortunately, the valley is open enough. Although the fires on both sides have risen, the fire in the middle has not yet burned, enough for the cavalry to rush out from here!
Temujin gave an order, and the army began to rush towards Taniguchi on the opposite side!
It's just that Temujin was still careless at this time, Zhuge Liang is actually so easy to provoke?Since he wanted to deploy an ambush here at Yunpan Mountain, he naturally thought of the terrain of Yunpan Mountain. If others can't do it, it doesn't mean that Zhuge Liang can't do anything.

In the valley, the sulfur, flame, and saltpetre brought by Zhuge Liang were not piled at the foot of the mountain, but were buried in three vertical and four horizontal directions by Zhuge Liang's army in various locations in the valley. In addition to these sulfur, flame, and saltpeter, there was also a small A small can of gunpowder!
The fire was raging, and the temperature was scorching, instantly detonating the gunpowder in the earthen jars. Although these earthen jars only hit a few taels of gunpowder, once they explode, the power should not be underestimated. One after another, the entire valley was ignited!
