It is said that the new official has three fires in office, and Pang Tong has not yet received the official appointment documents, and he is not an official, but his first fire has begun to burn in Xinye.

At the end of the day, it was not yet dawn. Liu Pan, the governor of Youxian County, led a group of men and horses out of Xiangyang and went straight to Xinye on the order of Liu Biao, the governor of Youxian County. After traveling for about three hours, the soldiers and horses were close to Xinye County.

Ahead is Phoenix Mountain, the gateway to Xinye County.

The name of Phoenix Mountain is called Mountain, in fact, it is just a small slope tens of meters high, but its slope is extremely steep, and the strange rocks on the slope are not easy to climb.

On the opposite side of the slope is a red maple forest, of course, the maple leaves in the forest have not yet hung red, verdant and leafy. There is a cliff a few miles away in front of the slope, called the Phoenix Cliff, through the forest path in front of you, and then over the Phoenix Cliff for a few miles, the county seat of Xinye falls in the eyes of everyone.

"Handsome! Ahead is Phoenix Mountain, about ten miles away from Xinye County, should I rest in this forest for a while, and then set off as an army? Seeing that the athletes under his command were exhausted, an adjutant general immediately looked at Liu Pan and asked.

Liu Pan swept coldly, threw the horsewhip in his hand on the face of the deputy general, and pulled a blood groove: "Oxtail, you are really as good as your name, seeing that you are only so many miles away from this Xinye County, you still want to rest for a while, are you addicted to eating oxtail?" ”

"The handsome man is angry!" Another lieutenant general stepped forward, patted the lieutenant nicknamed "Oxtail", and arched his hand towards Liu Pan and said, "Boss, Niu Wei's words are not unreasonable." If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the sons and daughters have been starting from the end of the day, and there have been three hours, and the people have long been sleepy, tired, hungry, you see..."

Liu Pan interrupted the lieutenant's words and shouted angrily, snorted coldly, and pulled his horse forward: "Hmph! Maan, what are you asking me to see? I look, I look at your sister! If I delay for a moment according to your words, then Wang Deyu will get the news and escape, wouldn't I run away today!

Ma An, Niu Wei, you two have heard the truth to Captain Bendu, I don't care what method you use, immediately let the sons and daughters rush to Captain Bendu, Captain Bendu is going to watch Wang Deyu's head in Xinye County for breakfast today! ”

"No!"

Ma An and Niu Wei laughed bitterly and bowed their heads at their own soldiers, who kicked the soldiers resting on the ground with a long whip, driving everyone up one after another, causing everyone to complain.

"What's more, I still miss the time when General Huang was in charge of the army, when he loved soldiers like a son..."

Watching his soldiers jump one by one, Niu Wei sighed, and Ma An had already covered his mouth: "You don't want to die, isn't this Liu Duwei jealous of the stolen goods planted by General Huang at the beginning?" ”

Niu Wei shook his head helplessly, followed side by side with Ma Anze, and slowly entered the path in the forest.

"Old horse, wait a minute!" Niu Wei was riding on the standing horse, and suddenly the reins in his hand suddenly slashed, and he shouted at Ma An, who was a few steps ahead.

Ma An immediately stopped in the middle of the road, turned his head and glanced at Niu Wei suspiciously: "You don't really want to be a ponytail, do you?" Aren't you afraid that the lieutenant will give you another whip when the time comes? ”

Niu Wei pointed to the army slowly moving forward, raised his head and asked, "Don't make trouble, take a good look at what we look like now?" ”

"Like what? Like a cow's mouth! ”

Ma An followed Niu Wei's fingers and looked forward, only to see that the Phoenix Mountain in front of him looked like a lying cow, one of the cows was looking at the red maple forest opposite, and the sons and daughters under their command lined up in a long snake formation, zigzag in the forest

On the path, after going around the woods and turning to the head of the cow, it was as if bundles and handfuls of fresh grass had been swallowed into the mouth of the cow and disappeared.

"Do you remember what General Huang said at the beginning?"

"The grass enters the mouth of the cow, and its life is not long?"

"Exactly!" Niu Wei nodded, and then said, "Old General Huang once said: Those who bully the enemy will be defeated. The road in this Phoenix Mountain is narrow, and there is a steep slope on the left side. The trees on the right side are overgrown, if Wang Deyu lurks a soldier and horse here, attacking with fire, how can we resist? ”

Ma Anxin suddenly shuddered, and his horror overflowed: "You go to restrain the rear army, pause, and I will go to talk to the captain." ”

The two rode on horseback, and halfway Niu Wei went to control the rear army, but Ma An galloped along the long snake like an arrow: "Captain, hold off for the time being, I have something to report!" ”

"What?" Liu Pan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked at Ma An who was rushing from behind him and shouted angrily, "Ma An, do you really want to learn that oxtail?" Do you want to persuade Captain Bendu to rest here for a while? ”

Ma An Lerma stopped in front of Liu Pan: "Du Wei, the last general is not to learn from Vice General Niu to rest here, but to report to Du Wei with something important!" ”

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Liu Pan glanced at Ma An impatiently, and circled in front of Ma An with his horse, "Don't delay the former general of Captain Pontus to arrest my big man!" ”

Ma An wiped the sweat from his forehead and admonished: "Captain, please see, the road here is narrow, the cliffs and cliffs above the mountain are lined with strange rocks, and the weeds and branches are dense under the mountain. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Liu Pan sneered, and whipped on the head of Ma An's war horse: "You guys are all pig heads?" Wang Deyu went to Jingzhou alone, and General Zhongye had no signs of a large army movement nearby, how did you let him ambush? How many people ambushed us thousands?

Also, the fire attack strategy certainly needs weeds and trees, but it is mostly the time when the grass withers and the trees wither in autumn and winter, and now it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the grass grows and the warbler flies, you let Wang Deyu give me a fire in this forest to give it a try? See if he can set the forest on fire? ”

Ma An froze when he heard this, but his heart became more and more uneasy, and he was about to advise again. I could hear the sound of cannons on the cliff on the left side of the trail, and hundreds of flying stones flew from the cliff to the top of everyone's heads.

The momentum is like thunder, and the speed is like lightning.

Huge boulders rushed down the cliff before everyone's eyes, bringing up endless dust and broken branches and trunks to the crowd.

All the soldiers jumped off their horses to hide in all directions, but this Phoenix Mountain cliff was only a few tens of meters high, where did they still have time to find a place to hide?

After a burst of smoke, the screams of the soldiers and the wailing of the horses came and went, and the ground was full of soldiers and war horses with broken tendons and snorting horizontally. The path leading to him was already full of rubble and stumps, like an impassable mountain.

Wang Li on this donkey day is really ruthless enough, what is special is that he wants to close the door and beat the dog!

Liu Pan was angry for a while, but he heard a shout on the cliff like thunder, and clumps of hay, broken wool and even fire oil fell from the sky and sprinkled in front of and behind everyone. Then, clusters of flags emerged from the cliffs, and hundreds of crossbowmen armed with rockets aimed at hay, floc, and oil on the ground.

"Boom!"

Another cannon shot,

Hundreds of rockets flew down in unison, and clusters of flames fell on the dry and fluffy grass beside the roadside, in the cracks, and in the oil. A spark can start a prairie fire. The speckled flames rose with the wind, like a fiery snake, spreading its scarlet tongue all the way, unscrupulously devouring the soldiers, horses, trees, and weeds in front of them.

The back road is broken, and there is still a sideways! Liu Pan's heart was cold, and he couldn't care about the soldiers and horses in front of him, Ma An, and Niu Wei and others in the rear army, so he dodged out from under the big tree, led the war horse and more than a dozen personal guards and galloped towards the path in the dense forest.

It's a pity that Liu Pan must not have read the yellow calendar when he traveled today, otherwise he must have known that today was not destined to be an auspicious day for him.

Before they reached a hundred meters away, a group of people flashed in the forest, but there were only dozens of people.

The people who came were all white-clothed and white-armored with white horses, like a white cloud floating in the sky, hunting with flags in the dense forest behind everyone. The leader was just past the weak crown, the jade was facing the wind, a mustache that had just emerged under his chin, and a bright silver spear in his hand.

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, but the one who comes is Liu Pan, get off the horse quickly and be bound, this general will give you a good time!"

A long howl frightened Liu Pan to the right and turned around: Changshan Zhao Zilong, get off the horse and tie it to a happy? It's better to die than to live, Lao Tzu's head is not kicked by a donkey!

Liu Pan walked another hundred and ten meters to the right, and a group of people flashed out of the forest again, and there were no more than dozens of people.

The people who came were very different, the red clothes, red armor, jujube and red horses, like a red flame burning in the forest, the war drums in the dense forest behind him, the leader stood in the near future, the tiger had a bear waist, a long sword on the waist, and a carved bow in his hand.

"I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci is also, the one who comes is Liu Pan, get off the horse quickly and be bound, this general will give you a good time!"

Tai Shi Ci? What kind of dried shrimp is this? Haven't heard of it!

With a sneer, Liu Pan wanted to step forward, but suddenly heard a "snort" sound in the forest, and the guard beside him had already flown in front of Liu Pan, and a sharp arrow was straight into the guard's head.

Seeing that the guard can't live anymore!

Liu Pan was taken aback, remounted his horse and returned to the road, and saw that Ma An, Niu Wei and others had already converged in the path, followed by more than 3,000 remnants, braving fire, smoke and arrow rain, holding a shield and slowly moving forward, and the sound of mourning continued to sound in the crowd.

Liu Pan hurriedly let out a long roar: "Brothers, the back road has been broken, and there is only a future." Captain Bendu had just finished exploring the road and found that the jungle on the left was full of ambushes. The trail ahead is the only way for us to survive, brothers, rush! ”

Hearing Liu Pan's long shout, those remnants of the army seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and regathered under Liu Pan's command, only Ma An and Niu Wei each led their own army horses of hundreds of people far behind the team.

After walking for three or five miles, the end of the trail can be seen in the distance, but there are still no ambush soldiers, even the crossbowmen on the cliff before, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others have not surrounded them.

"Brothers, the front is Xinye County, if you want to survive, you have to follow Captain Bendu forward!" Liu Pan's heart shook slightly, and the long knife in his hand swung forward violently, shouting again.

As soon as the words fell, a bangbang sounded at the end of the front.

Another three or five hundred iron horsemen crashed out of the forest, black-clothed, black-armored and black-armed, like a black whirlwind blowing from outside the forest. The face of the leader was like goosebumps, his white hair was fluttering, his waist was bloody, and he drank the sword with blood on his hips, and an iron bow in his hand was held high in his hand.

"Liu Pan'er, I heard that you want to live, have you asked the old man about the arrow in his hand!"
