Chapter 324: Bowang Fire Stops Wei Tao
"Lord, the front is Bowangpo, after passing Bowangpo, you can go straight to Xinye, and then I will definitely capture the Zhuge villager for the lord!" Let him know the fault of resisting the majesty of the lord! ”
Zhang Xiu's words were very arrogant, as if he captured Zhuge Liang as if he was captured.
Although Wei Tao also attaches great importance to it, in fact, there are not many people under Wei Tao's command who really attach importance to it from the bottom of their hearts.
Because at this time, Zhuge Liang's background experience and so on are already known to everyone.
The words 'Zhuge Villager' already show that Zhang Xiu doesn't care.
Wei Tao can only smile bitterly at this, but think about it, if it weren't for the two generations to know the ability of Zhuge Kongming, with his current status and status, how could he attach too much importance to a person who came out of anything at will?
"And slowly!"
Wei Tao didn't say more, the more he said such a thing, the more they might not pay attention to it, and just ordered it directly.
Immediately Wei Tao looked up, only to see that this Bowangpo really lived up to its name, the slopes on both sides were towering, only there was a sheep intestine path in the middle, if it was marching here, it was likely to be attacked.
"My lord is worried that there will be an ambush?"
Although Wei Tao did not speak, with the ability of Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, he could roughly guess what Wei Tao was worried about, and after glancing at each other, Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and saluted Wei Tao.
"If the lord is worried, I will order someone to investigate, but it is already late at this time, and if so, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass Bowangpo today."
Zhao Yun is also cautious by nature, but he still said so at this time.
"Although it is true that attacking from the top of the ramps on both sides is superior, if our army rushes up. It's just a matter of moments. Although it will hurt. But if that's what the Shinno defenders do, then they can let it reap the consequences! ”
This time the vanguard army is 6,000 people, and because Wei Tao personally led the army, the soldiers he led can be said to be the elite of the army, and the strength is extraordinary, as Zhao Yun said, if only ambush. On the contrary, let the Shinno defenders bring about their own destruction!
But is it that simple?
The first contribution of the fledgling in history is nothing else, it is the Bowang fire attack, if Wei Tao is not prepared, then he is really a man in vain.
"The mountain road here is long and narrow, what if the enemy attacks it with fire?"
Looking left and right, Wei Tao immediately said this, hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then looked at it and found that this place was indeed a dangerous place, if it was not checked for a while. There will be casualties.
"Lord, I'm going to order someone to investigate immediately!"
Zhao Yun is indeed cautious by nature. Immediately, he ordered people to go.
This is also Wei Tao in the battle, as long as his orders, then the generals under his command will not dare to disobey!
I didn't dare to send a sentry agent, but when I arrived here, the sky was gradually darkening, and in this case, even if I sent more people, I would definitely not be able to find out clearly, so Wei Tao soon gave an order.
"Encamp!"
The camp was soon set up, and at this moment, on the slope of Bowang, a young scribe could not help but shake his head slightly.
"Sure enough, he deserves to be a general, so cautious and careful, if it weren't for Liang Dang to learn it."
There was a general beside the young scribe, and there were many soldiers behind him, and when the general heard the scribe say this, he immediately said with a little annoyance.
"What then? I listened to what Kong Ming said, and set up an ambush here early on, did we waste our efforts? ”
Obviously, this general is Huo Jun, and the scribe is also Zhuge Liang.
"Hehe, the general doesn't have to worry, I never had the intention of ambushing the general. Not to mention that the general is good at fighting, just to say that he is good at fire attacks and ambushes, how dare Liang get an axe? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, as if everything was under control, but seeing the struggling look on Huo Jun's face, he also knew that this matter was more important to him, and caring about it was chaotic, and after thinking slightly, Zhuge Liang said again.
"Liang asked the general, is the general going to defeat the general in this battle to gain prestige in the world?"
"Why did Kong Ming ask like this, although Huo was not welcomed in Jingzhou, no one in Jingzhou dared to ask Huo so much."
Huo Jun smiled slightly bitterly, but when he said this, Huo Jun still showed some confidence.
"As long as Huo can delay the general, who in Jingzhou dares to say that I am not?"
"In that case, why does the general want to succeed in one fell swoop? As long as we can keep the general here, isn't it? ”
Zhuge Liang said this with great confidence, which made Huo Jun's eyes shine.
"What is Kong Ming's plan?"
"General, listen to me slowly......"
The next day, Wei Tao led the troops again, and I have to say that Wei Tao was really surprised that he had been safe the night before.
There are few soldiers in Xinye City, and there are not many places that can be used to plot, this Bowangpo is an important place, but the other party is not plotting?
"Report to the lord, within a radius of one mile, it is already certain that there is no large army ambush!"
While Wei Tao was puzzled, Zhao Yun had already come to report, because he was only sending a sentry, there must be something wrong, but since Zhao Yun came to report, it proved that there was indeed no large army nearby.
"Okay, order the front army to move forward and go straight to Xinye!"
Wei Tao nodded slightly, he wouldn't say that he didn't dare to enter because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would burn Bowangpo, so this was a joke.
"No!"
Zhao Yunying shouted, and immediately led the leader forward.
Since Wei Tao attaches so much importance to it, then Zhao Yun is the first to take the lead in the expedition!
"Boom ......"
As soon as he walked a hundred meters, he heard an explosion in front of him, and then saw several rolling logs falling.
As soon as there was a change, Zhao Yun immediately stopped the whole army.
At this time, the army was not far away, and although the rolling logs were powerful, they could not hurt anyone, and they only blocked the road, but only a few rolling logs, Zhao Yun could clear them in half an hour at most.
But before Zhao Yun could react, there were several fireball rollers, and as soon as the fireball fell on the rolling wood, the firewood touched it, and the fire immediately ignited.
And what was even more surprising was that this fire still spread rapidly, only in an instant, a belt of fire was ignited, on top of such a fire, even if Zhao Yun immediately sent someone out to look for the other party, he couldn't find any trace at all.
"Camp the whole army!"
At this time, it was a dry and flammable season, Wei Tao did not waste manpower to extinguish the fire, but let them withdraw from Bowangpo, set up camp, recuperate, and wait until the fire was extinguished before marching.
"Burn Bowangpo! is a Zhuge Kongming, but he is not a dull person! ”
Looking at the burning Bowangpo, Wei Tao sighed, but praised Zhuge Liang for being worthy of his reputation.
As soon as this fire is burned, it will be extinguished soon, and Wei Tao will not be able to move until the heat dissipates, and it will be impossible to make a trip today.
As for the detour, not to mention whether there is any ambush in other places, the time of the detour alone is several times that of this, and the gains outweigh the losses.
If Zhuge Liang really acted like he did in history, no matter who came, Wei Tao was confident that he would never return, but now he took the initiative to expose it, although he did not kill or injure anyone, but it made Wei Tao sluggish, this kind of talent is extraordinary.
But sometimes, things were really not what Wei Tao expected, and he was still thinking about the second day of the march, but Wei Tao didn't expect that on the second day, he had just walked a short distance from being burned, and he repeated the old trick and burned the fire again.
"My lord! And let me lead an army and make a detour to attack and kill, it must be able to catch the Jingzhou army by surprise and let the Jingzhou army know how powerful our army is! ”
Originally, I was thinking about making meritorious service in front of my head, but I was suffocated for a day in the blink of an eye, and at this time, seeing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly became angry in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still Wei Tao by his side at this time, and Zhang Xiu was a newly surrendered person, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu would have directly shot him out.
"Huh...... General, don't worry, then Zhuge Kongming's plan is at most just one more time, and it can't hurt us at all, but it exposes his purpose. ”
At this time, Jia Xu finally said with a smile, based on the relationship between Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, he said so, but Zhang Xiu was willing to accept it.
"That Zhuge Kongming didn't plan to stop the lord from the beginning, he knew the lord's ability, so what he asked for was to interfere with the lord as much as possible, so that the lord could not capture Xiangyang for a long time, and that's it."
Wei Tao nodded, in fact, it was the same.
And although he was not hurt in the slightest, he could not hurt the Jingzhou soldiers, and this alone shows that Zhuge Liang is resourceful.
"So how are we now? Can only let him succeed in his scheme? ”
"It can't be repeated, two times is already the entire Bowangpo is burned, where on this road there may be a place for him to burn again, if it's really like this, then it's your own death."
Wei Tao shook his head slightly, quickly took a light breath, and then looked at Jia Xu, who had never moved.
"I don't care about the waste of time in a day or two, but just from this strategy, you can also see its cleverness, and then there will be Lai Wenhe to contribute. I'm afraid this Bowangpo is just a small test, once we reach Xinye, then it is even more visible to its strategy, and then we need to write and a lot of help. ”
"My lord and rest assured, this person may have unpredictable abilities, but even so, I am confident that I will be with one of them."
Jia Xu nodded slightly, there was endless confidence in his tone, Wu Wu is the second, Wen is not the first, even though Jia Xu was low-key in the past, but he also has his arrogance, and now he sees that Zhuge Liang is indeed capable, and he also has the intention of winning in his heart.
"Since that's the case, then it's all up to Wen and Shiwei!"
Wei Tao smiled at the moment and said so.
Zhuge Liang is indeed powerful, but Jia Xu is also not weak, just let himself see who is stronger and who is weak among these two strategists. (To be continued......)
