Hou Xuan saw that after Ma Chao hesitated for a while, he suddenly and decisively led the army to rush to the poplar forest, it seemed that he was going to rush to the poplar forest, shoot rockets, and burn the poplar forest.

The blood of the candidate began to boil, Ma Chao really won the plan, he won this battle, he will definitely be able to become famous in the world! He hurried to go down and order his rebel tribes to be ready. Once the fire starts, the ambush soldiers on the South Mountain and the North Mountain will attack together and raid the Ma Chao Trilogy at full speed!

On the south and north hills, the men and horses of the candidates were covered with trees, all of them riding on horseback, and the ring-headed knives and spears in their hands trembled slightly with excitement and fear. An exciting ambush battle is about to begin!

But then, something strange happened! I saw Ma Chao taking the lead, and plunged into the depths of the dense forest along the wide official road; His five thousand horsemen also roared past, stepping on the hoof prints of Ma Chao, and scrambled into the poplar forest. They didn't set fire to the poplar forest at all.

Hou Xuan and his soldiers were stunned when they saw this scene, which was completely different from what they had imagined. All of a sudden, all 8,000 volts were petrified.

"General Hou, Ma Chao didn't set fire to the forest, but rushed into the poplar forest, which is different from what General Hezhong said!" A lieutenant muttered. General Hezhong is Han Sui's self-proclaimed name after killing Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang.

"Yes, Ma Chao doesn't burn the forest, what can we do?" Another lieutenant said.

Hou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "There may have been some confusion...... Or, the spy sent by General Hezhong didn't touch Ma Chao at all...... Or, after Ma Chao found out his identity, he didn't ask any more questions, and directly killed him...... It doesn't have to be ......."

"So, what about that?"

"Yes, General Hezhong doesn't know this yet, what if Ma Chao takes this opportunity to raid the main force led by General Hezhong?"

Listen to it, yes! Han Sui was still on the way here, and he didn't know about Ma Chao's sudden change. Ma Chao's offensive is fast and fast, in case he encounters the main force on the road, it will be bad to launch a quick surprise attack!

Hou Xuan said: "Don't let Ma Chao attack and kill our army!" Quick, follow me down the mountain and catch up with Ma Chao! We must stop Ma Chao before he meets the main force of our army! ”

"Yes!"

As a result, there was a sudden commotion on the south and north mountains, the dense trees on the mountain shook a little, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the mountain forest. After a while, he saw an infinite number of men and horses rushing down from the mountain, and after joining forces, they plunged into the poplar forest and pursued Ma Chao.

……………………………

Ma Chao did not think as Hou Xuan, as soon as he walked out of the poplar forest, he stationed troops outside the poplar forest, waiting for Cheng Xuan's arrival. Ma Chao knew that the candidates' troops were hiding in the South Mountain and the North Mountain, and it was not easy to attack. He did the opposite, not burning the poplar forest, but leading the army directly through the poplar forest, just to create a false impression for the candidate: Han Sui's plan, he didn't even hit the first layer of the plan; So according to the original plan, he was going to lead the army to directly raid Han Sui.

And Hou Xuan knew that Han Sui was defenseless and could easily be raided by him; Therefore, he will definitely run down from the mountain, intending to entangle him and protect the main army. And the candidate must go into the poplar forest, which gives Ma Chao an excellent opportunity to fight back.

At this time, Ma Chao saw the upper end of the poplar forest and suddenly startled the birds; Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound in the poplar forest. A smile of successful conspiracy rose on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.

Ma Chao raised his arm, and the hundreds of cavalry archers behind him immediately raised the horn bows in their hands, took rockets from Pao Ze's hands, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the poplar forest.

Ma Chao sighed a little that Han Sui was really scheming, and even this poplar forest that was suitable for ambushes and fire attacks knew it. Because this poplar forest is big enough and overgrown. And it's July, July of the fire. The poplar forest is full of dry branches and grass, just a little bit.

Ma Chao estimated that the candidate had already entered the poplar forest, so he resolutely waved his hand, and hundreds of archers immediately released rockets. The rocket flew into the poplar forest with a roaring fire.

Ma Chao watched as the rockets plunged into the poplar forest and disappeared into the darkness. But in the next second, suddenly there was a fire in the dark poplar forest; The next second the fire was blazing. The tongue of fire licked every tree and grass, and soon swept through the area with lightning speed.

The flames soared into the sky, even illuminating Ma Chao's face; Facing the firelight, Ma Chao showed a conspiracy to succeed with a laugh. At this time, the cavalry under his command also understood why Ma Chao wanted to cross the poplar forest, it turned out to lure the ambush soldiers out and enter the poplar forest, and then Ma Chao burned them to death with a fire attack. The sergeants once again praised Ma Chao for his resourcefulness.

…………………………………………………

On this side, the candidate is not as calm as Ma Chao. He led his troops to the middle of the poplar forest when he suddenly found a fire rising in front of him, and then he knew that he had won the plan. So he quickly turned around and withdrew from the poplar forest. How do you know that his subordinates are the same as him, and he has been hit by Ma Chao's strategy twice, and he panicked; In addition, the poplar forest is very narrow, and his troops are too anxious to exit the poplar forest, but there are pushing, trampling, congestion, and chaos.

The summer *** was dry, the fire was fierce, and it soon burned. In fact, the rebels in Liangzhou are not afraid of death, they are very brave, and even if they meet the good family of the six counties, they do not flinch and win many times. But no matter how firm a person's will is, he is still an animal after all, and he is still afraid of fire in his bones. Moreover, their horses are also afraid of fire. The fire burned as if it would flow, and the fire grew bigger and closer, making the rebels go crazy and desperately try to break out of the poplar forest.

But the fire burned faster than they ran. Soon a fire burned on men and horses; There were also burned trees that fell hard. In a short time, the poplar forest was a hell on earth, with shouts, neighing, and burning fires, and the rebel soldiers did not dare to ride their horses, but ran wildly in the fire; Many people who were on fire were rolling on the ground alive.

The candidate was almost hit by a broken tree, and he shouted desperately to tell his subordinates not to panic. However, the fire had already demoralized his troops, and Hou watched as his soldiers danced wildly in the flames.

As the candidate was collapsing, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the midst of the chaos. He quickly turned his head to look at the other side of the poplar grove, and in the firelight he faintly saw a horse flying towards him.
