Chapter 672: Burning Bowang
In the battle of Jingzhou, Guan Yutong guò Li Songde admonished, and even fought a success, expelling most of Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses from the southeast of Jingzhou to the north of Jingzhou, spanning 300 miles, approaching Bowangpo, the battle line was elongated and deep, looking at the ancient and modern, it is difficult to compare.
After arriving at Bowangpo, Guan Yu was ready to go according to Li Song's construction, accumulated military strength, and prepared to complete his work in one battle and completely disperse Yuan Shang's army.
Just when Guan Yu was about to attack, Tanma suddenly came to report, saying that Yuan Shang's army had withdrawn and went straight to the direction of the north.
Beside Guan Yu, Li Song hurriedly admonished when he heard it: "General Guan, Yuan Shang has already had the idea of retreating, if you don't pursue him at this time, when will you stay?" ”
Guan Yu nodded when he heard this, and immediately ordered the whole army to march into the army, chase after Yuan Shang's rear, and cover up and kill his people.
Guan Yu himself was the vanguard of the front, leading the elite iron cavalry of Jingzhou to take the lead in opening the way, and went straight to the mouth of Bowangpo Valley.
When I came to Gukou, I saw a Biao army blocking the way, led by two generals, who were the famous generals of Hebei and Zhang Liao, the famous general of the Central Plains.
As soon as they saw Guan Yu coming, the faces of the two changed, and then they glanced at each other, and then saw Zhang Liao take the lead and raised his sword and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you have won the battle of Jingzhou, why bother to force each other!" Why? ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he was unmoved, but gently stroked his long beard, and said indifferently: "The two armies are fighting, each is its master, and each does its best, how can you force each other with hardship?" Wen Yuan said that he was a little family! ”
Zhang He raised his gun and rode his horse, rushed out directly, and said loudly: "Why should Wen Yuan talk nonsense with him!" Wait for you and me to capture him together! ”
When Zhang Liao saw Zhang He coming out of the horse, he was also in good spirits, and he rode up with a gun.
Seeing Zhang Liao and Zhang He going out together. Guan Yu didn't look for helpers, but just waved the Qinglong Knife, rode straight forward, and fought two pieces with his own strength.
Zhang Liao and Zhang He are both good generals in the world, Guan Yu is still not afraid of one enemy and two, and he is at ease, and he has the upper hand in his twenties and thirties, suppressing the two Zhang, and the green dragon glaive knife is like a dragon out of the water, roaring Xi Juan. Loving the sky and the earth, majestic and agitated, almost covering the sky and the sun.
Although the two are brave, but in the face of such momentum, they still seem to be powerless, and the battle is thirty rounds away, but they can't resist, and they retreat together.
Guan Yu was about to chase after his horse, but was shot by the enemy's archers. If not, with the foot power of the neighing red rabbit horse, you can let the two escape.
The main general was defeated, and the Yuan army no longer had the will to fight. They all returned to the army and retreated to Bowangpo.
Guan Yu turned the Qinglong Sword in front of him, narrowed his Danfeng eyes, and looked fixedly in the direction of Yuan Jun's retreat, Guan Ping immediately stepped forward. said to Guan Yu: "Father, do you want to chase or not?" ”
Guan Yu's appearance was proud, and he sneered when he heard this. Said: "Ping'er, what is the current morale of our army?" ”
"From Jingdong to Jingbei, our army has won successive battles, everyone is gearing up, all Jingzhou soldiers are ready, just wait for my father's order, you can go all out and wash the Yuan army!"
Guan Yu darkened his color and said with a smile: "Guan Mou's subordinates are all warriors who are a hundred, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and now is the time for them to show their strength...... Order, the whole army starts, follow me to pursue Yuan's army! ”
"No!"
…………………………………
In the Bowang slope, between the intestines of the sheep, on the twilight road, there is a solemn and poignant beauty. The sunset is still reluctant to stay in the west, and the canopy that has begun to turn black begins to see the stars, and the looming stars seem to be like God's lamps, emitting a faint thin light, shining in the Bowang Slope.
The whole Bowang slope is composed of various valleys that rise and fall one after another, the valley is densely wooded, the ground is covered with green grass, under the blowing of the small wind, it is very interesting to sway from side to side, but although the valley is dark and damp, but there are no birds and animals, as if the animals in the valley have spirituality, feel that there is about to be a big war here, so they hurriedly move away.
Guan Yu led the Jingzhou army to rush forward, in the Bowang slope, has repelled Yuan Shang's blocking soldiers and horses several times, and now its momentum is flourishing, according to Guan Yu's experience in the battle and the frequency of the enemy's soldiers and horses, he feels that his army is not far from Yuan Shang's main army at this moment, and according to the situation of the enemy and his own battles, his side should have an eighty percent chance of winning this battle!
Not far behind Guan Yu, General Zhao Lei observed Bowangpo's movements while walking quickly, for some reason, he always had a vague premonition in his heart, but at this time, his soldiers and horses were in high spirits and sharp, if there was no real evidence, just take out their feelings and worries and tell Guan Yu, I was afraid that they would also be reprimanded by the general.
"The road is quite narrow, the grass on both sides is dense, and the birds and beasts are ......" Zhao Lei muttered while sighing faintly, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, slapped his thigh heavily, and exclaimed: "Oh no, not good!" ”
Beside Zhao Lei, a deputy general of Jingzhou couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhao Lei, and wondered: "What's wrong, what does General Zhao mean by this?" ”
The cold sweat on Zhao Lei's head fell miserably, and he shook his head and said: "It's too late to explain, I'll go and report to General Guan first, you stop the brothers here, let them stop, and don't continue the pursuit......"
Before Zhao Lei's words could be finished, he suddenly heard a burst of drum noise on both sides of the valley, faintly, on the valley slopes on both sides of the front, there seemed to be countless fires rising into the sky, and in an instant, there seemed to be countless torches being raised.
Then, I heard a shout from the front, the earth seemed to begin to tremble slightly, faintly, the soldiers of the front army of their own side were already surrounded by flames, and countless rockets began to shoot wildly towards the Jingzhou army with various divisions around them, and huge fireballs made of trees and vines also began to appear on both sides of the mountain road.
The huge stretch of Bowangpo Valley has become a purgatory fire ground in an instant, as if it is a purgatory fire platform, which tightly encompasses the Jingzhou soldiers in the fierce firelight, devouring their lives and burning their bodies.
After a series of designs, Yuan Shang finally figured out the dagger, and the plan and killing move to deal with Guan Yu were finally revealed.
In Guan Yu's former army, he was shocked by this sudden change, but he was not an idle person after all, and after understanding Yuan Jun's plan, it was the safest response to be taken in an instant.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Order the officers and men of the three armies to retreat quickly! ”
In the face of the fire in the sky, the scorching heat of Bowangpo, even if he is the world's number one military general like Guan Yu, it is difficult to have the power to return to the sky.
At this moment, I vaguely listened to the valley on the right, and Yuan Shang's voice faintly came.
"Guan Yunchang, your time of death has come, don't think about running for your life!"
…………
"Father, I'll escort you away!"
In the midst of the crisis, Guan Ping and Guan Xing, two generals, had already galloped to Guan Yu's side, while playing with the rain of arrows coming from the sky. While protecting Guan Yu, he hurried towards the back of Bowang Slope.
Guan Yu's tall body sat on the red rabbit horse, followed by the two sons in the firelight and clashed backwards, his face was scorched black, most of the long beard on his jaw that was straight like a waterfall was burned off, and the green clothes under the armor were also burned and lacked arms, looking extremely wolf-like, but even so, his body was still as straight as a knife, his eyes were blazing, and he was as sharp as an arrow.
"General Guan!"
"General Guan!"
Not far away, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Zhao Lei, Wang Fu and others instigated Yu Yong, led the men and horses to hurry over, and escorted Guan Yu to flee backwards!
Guan Yu took a deep breath, raised his voice violently, and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order, Yuan Shang will attack with fire, there will be ambushes to respond, everyone must not fall in love with the war, Guan Mou will take the lead, and try his best to kill the valley!" ”
The blood boiled again in the cold body, and every Jingzhou general who heard this knew that Guan Yu's words not only brought hope to the survivors to continue to live, but also brought endless danger to himself. In this way, Yuan Shang will save the time of cleaning up the battlefield and directly lay a net to hunt down Guan Yu with all his might!
However, they guessed Yuan Shang's true intentions wrong!
Yuan Shang fought this battle, not to kill Guan Yu, but to defeat the main force of the Jingzhou army!
For Guan Yu himself, Yuan Shang believed that the fire should not burn him, and he had already ordered the ambush soldiers to intercept and kill, and he would definitely not harm Guan Yu's life!
On the Bowangpo valley where the blazing fire reflected, Sima Yi walked to Yuan Shang's side.
"This battle is enough to redeem the disadvantage."
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Quickly send an order to the generals, after defeating the enemy army, don't kill Guan Yu, just shout with great fanfare when you are pursuing!" In addition, the troops were quickly divided to seize the Xiangyang lands on the north bank of Jingzhou, but they could not cross the river, and the counties and counties below Xiangyang were not allowed to be touched. ”
Sima Yi smiled when he heard this: "You only take part of the city in Jingbei and the south of Jingzhou, I'm afraid you want to give it to Sun Quan, right?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Not only the city, but also Guan Yu's head. ”
Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are also far-thinking people, and they may not be able to kill Guan Yu. ”
Yuan Shang snorted and said: "In whose hands Guan Yu died, it is no longer up to them to have the final say, from the day Xu Huang surrendered, Guan Yu's head was destined to fall into the hands of Sun Quan, they didn't want it and couldn't." ”
Sima Yi sighed when he heard this, and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, Sun Quan wants Jingzhou, but he doesn't want Guan Yu to die in his own hands, this is the same as our original intention, he and Zhou Yu pulled out a hair and it was empty, such a stupid thing, even if there was Xu Huang, they might not do it." ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Zhongda, you are really sincere, who said that you must let them do it themselves?" If they don't kill, we can frame it, if they don't do it, we can frame it, it's not that they don't want to kill, this matter won't fall on them, in short, killing Guan Yu, Sun Quan is determined.
