Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 196 Zhuge Liang: Coincidence, Must Be a Coincidence
Seeing that the flames had completely dyed several nearby forests red, in Zhang Liao's eyes, there was only a flicker of sparks left.

Under the scorching high temperature, he felt as if he was born next to a stove.

Before this attack, Cao Peng gave him a kit and asked him to open it after he came to this road.

After Zhang Liao listened to Cao Peng's order, he opened it here.

I saw a note in the kit, which said to ask Zhang Liao to set fire to the mountain immediately.

Zhang Liao didn't understand what he meant. Didn't the attack this time require speed and speed?What should they do if setting fire to the mountain blocks their progress?

But out of absolute obedience to Cao Peng's orders, he immediately asked his soldiers to do so, and immediately asked the messengers to order Xiahou's army following him to stop marching.

However, when the fire started.

He understood, why did Cao Peng do this?
In this cage of flames, there are screams of life from time to time, and soldiers on fire rolling down from the mountain.

Zhang Liao understood that there were ambushes in the forest.

Set fire to the mountain, the ambushes on the mountain could not hide, and rushed down the mountain immediately.

After that, Zhang Liao watched helplessly as the fleeing defeated troops fell into the traps dug on the ground long ago.

Everything is clear, it turns out that someone has already designed an ambush here.

"Ma De, this Zhuge Kongming is really a traitor!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but secretly fear that even an old Jianghu like him was almost on fire, if Zhuge Liang's way hadn't been arranged by Cao Peng, he would have fallen this time.

If he led the army directly through this road just now, he would fall into the trap on the ground, and the ambush army on the mountain would come out and attack him with fire.

What they are now encountering with these bandit soldiers will become what he will encounter.

That's right, he led an army of 3 this time.

Such an army will inevitably be incomparably chaotic in the flames, and if they escape in chaos, they will die quickly.

He lost the last battle without fighting.

No need to do anything now, just wait for the fire to burn out.

Several hours later, Brother Xiahou who was originally at the rear also came to his side.

Brother Xiahou had already heard about the ambush hidden in the woods.

The two brothers have different looks.

Xia Houyuan was also afraid of Cao Peng, and his ability to plan strategies like this may have surpassed that of Guo Fengxiao before.

At this time, another army that had just set off from Jiangxia to support saw the flames.

They came here under Zhuge Liang's order.

Before they came, Zhuge Liang had told them that the light of the fire was a signal, and as long as the light of the fire was full, they could rush to the sand and reap Cao Jun's heads as much as they wanted.

Now the leading general saw the fire and shouted.

"The opportunity for the soldiers to make contributions has come, follow me!"

After the army rushed out, it got closer and closer to the front line, and heard screams.

Everyone looked overjoyed, thinking it was Cao Jun's screams.

However, the leading general is a battle-tested guy.

He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter.

No matter what Cao Jun said, tens of thousands of people were defeated so quickly, which seems a bit too fast.

When the soldiers saw their general stop, the doctors and nurses stopped too.

"General, why did you stop?"

Before the general could answer, a few soldiers on fire rushed out of the woods.

The armor on these soldiers is clearly their own.

"How is this going?!"

The general at the head had already turned pale with fright.

A bad premonition filled his mind.

"Quick, get out!"

Although he didn't know why his side had been defeated, he knew that if he didn't run fast, Cao Jun would make dumplings for him, and none of them could get out alive.

The fact was just as the general had expected. Not long after he led the army out, he heard the news that the front line had been completely defeated.

Moreover, the army led by Zhang Liao did not stop for a while, and immediately led the cavalry into the sea of ​​flames, heading straight for the border town.

"It's over, it's over..."

The guard of the border city looked at Zhang Liao who was leading the horse and the halberd in his hand, and his liver and gallbladder were torn apart with fright.

The cavalry led by Zhang Liao at this time was part of the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Peng assigned to him.

The original plan was to wait until the fire burned before attacking.

But he changed his mind, if he led the tiger and leopard cavalry, broke through the flames directly, and then took down the border town, wouldn't it give Cao Peng a lot of face?
So he did it.

Although countless arrows were placed on the city wall, the armor created by the elite team led by Zhang Liao was made of special black iron.

Forcibly blocking the enemy's arrow rain, he attacked the city wall.

Zhang Liao led the army to seize the city and the battle went smoothly. Before the fire in the rear burned out, he had already taken down the first line of defense guarding Jiangxia.

……

The news was sent back to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang flushed with anger, and threw all the feather fans in his hand on the ground.

Liu Qi, who heard the news at this time, also hurried over.

"Sir, what is going on here?"

Although Liu Qi doesn't understand soldiers, he also knows the seriousness of the matter. If the first line of defense has been defeated by the enemy, then Jiang Xia is not far away from being breached.

Most importantly, the mythical image of Zhuge Liang in his heart has been completely shattered.

"My lord, I didn't expect the enemy to be so cunning that they would see through my scheme and do the opposite..." Zhuge Liang said bitterly.

Zhuge Liang felt extremely uncomfortable.

He always thought that he was unparalleled in resourcefulness because he didn't have a good opportunity for him to display his talents. He really didn't expect that his first use of troops would be such a miserable defeat.

Not reconciled, he is really not reconciled.

"Then, what shall we do next!" Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang with a pale face and asked.

Zhuge Liang said with an ugly face: "Coincidence, what happened this time is just a coincidence. It is absolutely impossible for Cao Peng to see through my scheme again!"

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door.

"What are you going to do? You are not allowed to be presumptuous here!"

"Get out of the way, we have to ask this Zhuge Liang face to face, because his bullshit scheme made our brother die so badly!"

The guards outside the door couldn't stop the rioting soldiers who rushed in.

Zhuge Liang watched with a pale face. These disgraced faces should be generals who were defeated from the front line.

"Zhuge Liang, you have a false name, you only know how to talk about wars on paper, what face do you have to live here!"

One of the most emotional generals even jumped onto the table and grabbed Zhuge Liang by the collar.

"Quick, come here!"

Looking at these excited defeated generals, Liu Qi felt extremely terrified in his heart, so he hurriedly called the guards.
