"Ba'er, you don't know, when he sent troops before, Cheng Junshi reminded him to be careful of Zhang Xiu's fraud, but now it seems that Cheng Junshi is too worried! Okay, the army is marching quickly, and it is necessary to pursue Zhu Wei's defeated army and capture Bowangpo in one fell swoop! ”

Xiahou Yuan listened to Xiahouba's words, and couldn't help but go through the situation Xiahouba said in his mind again, and then nodded, which was relieved.

It seems that although Cheng Yu failed to see through Zhang Xiu's fraudulent surrender before, he still instructed Xiahou Yuan to be careful, and he should carefully analyze the situation before making a decision.

But now that Xiahou Yuan didn't hear any flaws from Xiahou Ba's words, naturally there was no suspicion.

So Xiahou Yuan was also excited at this moment to order the whole army to rush forward, and more than 15,000 Cao soldiers ran forward quickly along the Xianghan Pass that winded in Bowangpo, and the team was also stretched into a piece several miles long for a while.

At this time, it was already the early summer season of June, and the lush vegetation of Bowangpo did not bring much cool air, so Cao Jun ran one by one quickly out of breath, and his mouth gradually became a little dry.

After a short time, the front also arrived at the military village of Zhu Wei's Xionglu camp, but at this moment, Zhu Wei's military village was full of fires, and it seemed that there was no way to directly pursue Zhu Wei's defeated troops through this military village.

Le Jin, the vanguard of the Cao army who arrived here, had already sent troops to find a way to bypass the burning Zhu Wei army village from the hills on both sides, trying to support Zhang Xiu, who chased and defeated the retreating Zhu Wei army, but the speed of the Cao army's detour in the mountains was still not fast, so Le Jin sent some soldiers to stay in the Zhu Wei army village to try to extinguish the fire, trying to make a way for the follow-up army to pursue.

However, the fireworks lit here also spread in this basin valley, and then spread to the surrounding hills and forests, which made this Bowangpo area gradually become hazy.

By the time Xiahou Yuan led the main force of Cao's army here, some of Lejin's vanguard soldiers had not completely extinguished the flames of the Xionglu camp military village, and Lejin himself had already led people to bypass the military village here, and continued to move forward to find Zhang Xiu's army to chase and kill the withdrawn Zhu Wei army.

And Xiahou Yuan saw that the army in front of him was blocked, so he naturally came up to check the situation, and when he heard the words of Le Jin who left the firefighters before, Xiahou Yuan couldn't do anything for the time being.

After all, fire and water are ruthless, and when the fire burns, it is not so easy to extinguish.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan could only be like Le Jin, on the one hand, he sent chariots with thousands of Cao soldiers to bypass the hills and forests on both sides to continue to pursue Zhu Wei's defeated soldiers, and on the other hand, he also sent people to find water and soil to extinguish the fire in Zhu Wei's army and help his follow-up army to open the way for pursuit.

However, there seems to be no sufficient water source in the area where Zhu Wei's army is located here, and Cao Bing only found several wells that seemed to be dug by Zhu Wei's army, which is why Cao Bing was a little less efficient and more troublesome when Cao Bing was fighting the flames in Zhu Wei's army village before.

Xiahou Yuan didn't think about anything at first, but just as he was waiting to extinguish the fire, he suddenly realized a problem in his heart, if this is really where the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Zhu Wei's Xionglu Battalion are located, then relying on these dug well water alone does not seem to be enough for the water source of Zhu Wei's entire army.

Xiahou Yuan, who felt faintly uneasy in his heart, immediately sent another order to let people go to the Zhu Wei army village in front to inspect how many Zhu Wei soldiers' bodies were left inside.

As a result, another piece of news that made Xiahou Yuan panic came, in the area of Zhu Wei's army where the flames had been extinguished, there was not a single corpse of Zhu Wei's soldiers, which seemed to be an abnormal thing.

"Oh no, I've been tricked! Hurry up and give the order, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops! ”

Xiahou Yuan thought of Cheng Yu's instructions before, and at this moment, he looked at the surrounding smoky Bowangpo hills and mountains and forests for a few moments, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet, and there seemed to be a thick murderous intent hidden inside.

Secretly saying something bad in his heart, Xiahou Yuan began to give the order to withdraw at the first time.

But in front of him, there were already six or seven thousand soldiers under the command of the vanguard Lejin and the follow-up chariots, bypassing the burning Zhu Wei army village, and continuing to pursue the so-called Zhu Wei's defeated army.

As for the remaining eight or nine thousand Cao soldiers in the back, it was also because of the long-distance attack that had spread out in formation before, and at this time, they inevitably gathered in a mess in the Xianghan Pass in front of the Zhu Wei army village to rest, and it was a matter of overnight to retreat the whole army.

At this moment, not long after Xiahou Yuan came here, the ambush soldiers around him probably saw Xiahou Yuan's handsome banner, so suddenly there was a sound of killing, and then it seemed that it was also the ambush soldiers of the Xionglu camp who had just sneaked over from everywhere, emerging from all over the hills and forests.

"Whoosh ......"

Countless rockets and crossbow arrows shot at the Cao soldiers who were crowded in the Xianghan Pass, and they couldn't help but shoot the dense Cao soldiers off guard, many of them fell to the ground with arrows, and many people were sparked by the rockets.

"Kill! Kill! ”

In the surrounding mountains and fields, the ambush soldiers of the Xionglu camp on Zhu Wei's side also showed their figures one after another, and under the leadership of the leading soldiers, the Zhu guards stood on different hills, mountains and forests, and continued to shoot rockets and crossbow arrows to Cao Jun's side.

Cao Jun was completely confused for a while.

Even if Xiahou Yuan wanted to retreat as a whole, the troops below were too chaotic, and they were shot by the ambushed Zhu Wei army with bows and crossbow arrows, and the Cao soldiers here were even more chaotic and difficult to gather.

In desperation, Xiahou Yuan could only take his own troops and his son Xiahou Ba to take the lead in retreating, trying to collect the chaotic soldiers and horses passing by while withdrawing, and for the time being, he could only collect as much as he could.

At this time, the Cao army was basically cut into two parts, one part was the Cao soldiers who had bypassed the fire of Zhu Wei's army village and were led by Le Jin and Che Zhou, and the other was the Cao soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba.

But these two parts of Cao's army fell into the ambush and siege of Zhu Wei's army.

Because the Cao army in front of Le Jin and Che Zhou was scattered into the surrounding hills and forests, the front line was even looser, so at this moment, under the shooting of Zhu Wei's army with bows and arrows and crossbow arrows and the organized rush of the army, it had already become a state of not seeing the soldiers and not knowing the generals, and many Cao soldiers could only fight separately everywhere.

Even Lejin and Che Xuan were trapped in different areas, not knowing whether to continue to rush forward or retreat.

But rushing forward was a coalition army composed of the army ambushed by Zhu Wei and the soldiers of Zhang Xiusuo, who had already revealed their true faces, and Zhu Wei's army even arranged three spear stabbing tiger carts on the Xianghan Pass to move in parallel, like a spear stabbing wall, compressing the advance space of the Cao army on the pass little by little.

As for the Cao army that ran to the surrounding hills and forests, they had to face the condescending Zhu Wei army, under this geographical disadvantage and the psychological disadvantage of being ambushed, Cao soldiers obviously fought a little hard in the battle but could not kill the elite soldiers of Zhu Wei's Xionglu battalion, so many Cao soldiers were soon forced to retreat to the Xianghan Pass.

But at this time, the Cao soldiers on this Xianghan Pass, even if they wanted to retreat, the burning Zhu Wei army village became the biggest obstacle to the road, so that the Cao army that bypassed it had no way to go back again......
