Chapter 472: Burning Bowangpo
Therefore, in order to complete this strategic encirclement, we must have the determination not to be afraid of hardship and death. Which of you would like to go?
So-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so. …… Zhang Jie didn't think that everyone was willing to go.
Wei Yandao: Okay, brothers, don't fight, let's go! I am from Yiyang, it is more convenient than you to ask for a way or something, and we are more familiar than you when I go to Yiyang. Although there are no big rivers in between, there are still quite a few small streams and small rivers. It's easier to find a boat than you, and it's even better to find a guide.
Zhang Jiedao: Good, Wenchang, Bodao, Zhongda. Lonely sent you to Jiangxia Xiling. Lone will give you thirty thousand troops and three hundred rafts. You can use it when you cross the little river.
Bring a giant chain. I will also bring you to block the river. Because it's too heavy, it's all taken apart, and you can use it when you use it.
And I will give you two hundred crossbows. Blockade of the river. Dozens more craftsmen for you. Let them do catapults. When I get to Xiling, I want to quickly occupy Xiling City, and then defend it for me.
Promise!
Ju Yi, you transfer 10,000 crossbowmen to the command of Bodao for the time being, and let him take them to Jiangxia.
Promise!
The three of you must remember to be calm. Our main purpose is to control the Jingzhou naval warships, and the defeat of the remnants of Jiangdong is not too important.
Promise! The end will understand.
Remember to keep it secret, and when you arrive in Yiyang, stay away from the city so that no one will find out. If Zhuge Liang and them find out, they will go down the river to reinforce them, then you will be busy in vain.
You're going to leave tonight, and you're going to do it secretly and confidentially.
Promise!
The rest of you, after you go back, you are strictly forbidden to go out to avoid the situation in the army.
Promise!
That night, when the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, and the weather was relatively cold, Wei Yan, Hao Zhao, and Sima Yi led 30,000 horses to the east and headed for Jiangxia.
In the morning, Zhang Jie's army came to the foot of Bowangpo Mountain.
Suddenly, an army rushed out to kill, the number was small, and the main general was Gan Ning.
Gan Ning shouted! Zhang Jie! Do you know Bajun Ganning?
I saw Gan Ning wearing nondescript. The brocade robe is embroidered, and a bell is tied around the waist, and the armor is particularly ugly.
Zhang Jie said with a smile: I've heard of it, but did Zhou Yu tell you that the price of the coffin has risen if you asked you to send it to death. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back.
Yes! You dare to scold Lao Tzu, there is a kind of letting the horse come over and Lao Tzu will fight with you for 300 rounds.
Go! Zhang Jie thought to himself, there are still 300 rounds, and Lao Tzu can't beat it in one round.
Zhang Jie shouted: Xingba, I heard that you have some skills, and you are good at using double halberds, and this pawn brother next to me also happens to use double halberds. Why don't I let you compare them?
But you have to agree to one condition, and if you lose, you have to surrender to me, how about it?
Of course, Gan Ning knew Dian Wei's murderous name. Although he is conceited, he is not stupid.
Dao: There is a lot of nonsense, if so-and-so is defeated, kill so-and-so, and if so-and-so surrenders, it is impossible.
Zhang Jie thought to himself, it's not stupid.
Smiled: Then you will go back, right? Coward, don't dare to bet, what else is it called? Shame. Get lost!
Unexpectedly, Gan Ning was furious and actually rushed towards Zhang Jie.
Zhang Liao saw Gan Ning rushing over, drove his horse first, and also wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Bite! The big knife collided with the halberd, and both of them were numb in their hands.
Zhang Liao made a horizontal split, Gan Ning was protected by a double halberd, and each drove a horse in a circle to compete for arm strength. Zhang Liao, Ganning, martial arts, are among the best. For a while, no one could bear anyone, and after dozens of moves, Gan Ning beat his horse and fled back.
Zhang Jie saw Gan Ning running away, and thought to himself that it shouldn't be! With Gan Ning's fiery personality, how can he run without a win?
Zhang Jie looked at this Bowang Slope again, and the trees were much more lush after a little past. Hehe, Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you used the set of burning Bo Wangpo to deal with Xia Houdun on Lao Tzu, I'm afraid you made a mistake.
Xia Zhong sent people to prepare more rockets, lit Bowangpo, and burned it all the way.
Promise!
This winter, although it is a little cold, the dry weather and dry fire will burn all at once. And the fire burned more and more. Burn deep into the valley.
Zhang Jie smiled: Let's rest first! I am afraid that this fire will not be extinguished in a day and a half.
Shi Yuan, you said Kong Ming, will there be ambushes on both sides of the valley?
Pang Tongdao: It's really hard to say, Bowangpo Valley is suitable for ambushes. If I were to use troops, I would set up an ambush here. It's just that both sides are not stupid, and in this place with high mountains and dense forests, they will be careful to take precautions, and it is not easy to burn each other.
Well, but Jay estimates that there must be a lot of ambushes on the mountains on both sides.
Hehe, anyway, we are not in a hurry for a while, it will get better slowly, wouldn't it be better to play with Kong Ming for a day or two in this Bowangpo first?
And in the ambush in Bowangpo, Huang Gai and others, who were about to light the fire, almost didn't let the fire burn to death. The fire was fine at first, but when we reached the valley, a sudden wind broke out in the valley, and a heat wave swept in. The soldiers on the hills on both sides were so frightened that they threw down their weapons and ran away. Some of the slow runners fell to the ground by the trees, crying for their fathers and mothers. In the end, he fainted from the smoke and burned alive.
And some of the soldiers still brought firewood, hay, and lamp oil, which were originally there to set fires, but now they have become fire-aids for burning themselves. What a self-immolation!
In the rear, Zhuge Liang saw his soldiers running back. Smoke was everywhere on the mountain. Xindao, didn't Zhang Jie get the trick? How can it be so fast?
At this time, Huang Gai rushed over and said: Mr. Kong Ming is really clever. A fire almost burned our own people. It's a pity that the person who set the fire was not me, but Zhang Jie.
You also asked me to bring lamp oil and something to start a fire. Is it because you are afraid that the fire will not be strong enough?
Lu Sudao: Male belly, what's going on? How can you burn yourself?
Huang Gaidao: Zijing, don't you still understand? Zhang Jie had already guessed that there would be ambushes on the mountain, so he took the lead in setting fire to the mountain, and if the brothers ran slowly, they would be burned to death.
Zhuge Liang was a little embarrassed and said: Liang looked at the other party, and he couldn't help General Huang. Let you suffer.
Zhuge Liang admitted his mistake, and Huang Gai couldn't say anything, after all, Zhuge Liang couldn't be blamed for this matter, who knew that the other party would find out in advance?
Huang Gai arched his hand and retreated.
Lu Sudao: Judging from this fire, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while! Today, Zhang Jie is afraid that he will not be able to cross the Bowang Slope.
Well, let the brothers rest first! Since the fire didn't burn, it was time to fight. Let's hope our plan will succeed!
The fire was also somewhat unexpected by Zhang Jie, and it burned for a whole day and a night before stopping, burning all the trees on both mountains. In front of them, there are only two black hillsides, like an open-pit coal mine.
Two days later, Zhang Jie ordered Zangba, Zhang Liao, to take thousands of men and horses first. Zhang Jie was afraid that he would be in Bowangpo for too long and arouse Zhuge Liang's suspicions.
When Zhang Liao sent someone to report that there were no ambushes in front, Zhang Jie's brigade began to rush towards Xinye City.
Outside the city, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Liu Qi and others were all waiting for Zhang Jie to arrive. It's all in line.
