Chapter 398 The Battle of Fate

Under the cover of night, on the mountainside of a high mountain south of the Baqiu Ferry Water Military Camp, Cao Cao, who was wearing armor and leaning on the heavenly sword, squatted down and grabbed the messy flags on the ground, a wry smile appeared on his mouth, and his eyes were filled with loss.

Behind him were two hundred tiger soldiers, and around him were Taoist boys kneeling on the ground trembling and wearing Taoist robes.

Since the southeast wind rose, he rushed up the mountain with two hundred tiger troops, and the purpose was nothing else, that is, to find Zhuge Liang.

The original intention is the same as Zhou Gongjin in the romance, but the purpose is completely different.

The southeast wind rises, which confirms that Zhuge Liang can really borrow the east wind through practice, which is a very terrifying thing, which means that in addition to Lin Mo, a demon who knows the six Ding Liujia demon methods, Liu Bei's military camp also has an unparalleled genius who can instigate the heavens.

And after this battle, Lu Lin was defeated, and Cao Cao's spearhead would be aimed at the Central Plains or Jingnan, and it has not yet been decided, but there is such a feared wizard hidden on the side of the couch, and Cao Cao will most likely lose sleep.

But he brought someone here, not to kill Zhuge Liang, but to invite him back, anyway, now that Liu Guanzhang is not there, no one can save him.

As for asking him to go back, of course it is excellent that he is willing to admit the Lord, but if he is unwilling, he can't hold it in Liu Bei's hands, such a person is too terrible.

didn't expect that even if he rushed to the Seven Star Altar to arrest him as soon as possible, Cao Cao finally pounced.

Listening to the Taoist boy next to him, Mr. had finished casting the spell before the east wind rose, and then went down the mountain from the path, and asked them to continue to surround the high altar and walk seven star steps.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Zixuan can succeed, Zhuge Liang, you can't run." Cao Cao, who stood up again, let out a long breath, there was still a chance at the end of Xiling City.

If Cao Ang and Cao Ren can cut Liu Guanzhang off the horse, then Zhuge Liang will not be able to escape for a lifetime even if he escapes for a while.

It sounds a bit unbelievable for Cao Ang and Cao Ren to take down Liu Guanzhang, after all, although Cao Ren is brave and good at fighting, the gap between him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is too big, but Cao Cao is very confident in this.

After all, in their own plans, the two of them led the iron cavalry to suddenly kill when they were exhausted after Liu Bei and Huang Zu fought, and then they would have all the face.

"My lord! Woe to the lord! ”

It was the time when he was looking forward to a better time, a sergeant ran over in a panic, gasped and said: "Lord, it's not good, the sailor army that went to Xiakou to attack the village was defeated, General Cai Mao rushed back with the remnants, go and take a look!" ”

"What did you say?"

Cao Cao was like being electrocuted, and a piercing chill spread from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and he immediately dragged the sergeant and roared: "The southeast wind has risen, how can they be defeated!" ”

"I don't know, my subordinates just heard that a heavy ambush was set up in the water village in Xiakou, and our army was defeated, so I came to report to the lord."

"Ah~" Cao Cao's green muscles burst out, and he directly threw the sergeant aside and ran down quickly.

In the original world line, even later generations also like to talk about Liu Bei's late bloomers, and when they encourage the people around them in the trough period, they will also use the analogy of Gou Jian who tastes courage and the imperial uncle who ascended the throne at sixty-one, from this point of view, they all have extremely strong hearts.

But the fact is that Cao Cao's heart is also strong, the same monstrous forces were defeated, Yuan Shao can afford to be sick, and Cao Cao can still laugh at life, this is the difference.

But at this moment, he also panicked.

There have been many fiascos in the past, but after all, it did not hurt the lifeline, even if the two states of the Central Plains were lost, there was still the country of abundance and the belly of the world in hand, even if it was a major defeat of Chibi in history, the heritage still existed after all.

But this time is different, the fiasco of the sailor is just in front of him, he has already put all the capital into stud, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, and even his own son

According to Lin Yunwen's urine, who can escape his calculations all the way.

At this time, Cao Cao was moving like the wind, and he had no time to think about and be shocked by what kind of immortal means Lin Mo could break the plan that the coalition forces came up with so easily, he just wanted to rush back quickly, and maybe there was a slight possibility to reduce the losses.

If these people are all broken, it will not only hurt the lifeline, but the end of the era that belongs to the Cao family, and even the end of the troubled times.

At this time, on the Xiangjiang River, there is a lonely boat floating in the river.

In the cabin, Zhuge Liang stroked the piano alone, a song of mountains and flowing water, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world, good song, good song.

He stood up and walked to the stern of the boat to look back at the direction of Baqiu, which is also the direction of the coalition garrison, tonight is destined to be a big battle that will go down in history, everything has been calculated, and the situation of Lu Lin's defeat is irreparable.

However, if Lu Lin is defeated, the world will be peaceful?

Obviously not, Zhuge Liang still has a lot of things to consider, such as the practice on the Seven Star Altar, which is to pave the way for subsequent self-preservation, and for example, the water division has also had a perfect explanation, after breaking through the Xiakou Water Village, what they have to do is to chase and kill all the way to Xiling City, and finally complete the task of joining Liu Bei.

And at that time, not only did he get a lot of grain, grass and ordnance, but Jiang Xia would also return to his hands, so Lu Lin, who was greatly injured, might no longer be Liu Bei's fierce rival, at least not for the time being.

Therefore, in addition to borrowing the east wind to deter Cao Cao, he also needs to do one thing, hurry back to Changsha to deploy the recruitment of troops and horses in the four counties, after all, according to the agreement, after Liu Bei takes Xiling City, he will take advantage of Cao Cao and Sun Ce's busy time to transport the grain and grass back to facilitate recruitment.

For now, nothing seems to be going wrong.

"Lin Yunwen, then, how should you clean up this mess, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or drive the wolf and fight the dog." Zhuge Liang, who was in a good mood, even began to take Lin Mo's place to think about what to do next.

It's not that he gets carried away, on the contrary, this is a side confirmation that Wuhou must do everything, he needs to think of what everyone may have to do every step of the way, only in this way can Liu Bei never fall behind in the next four-point world situation that is finally re-established.

The fire in Xiakou burned very strongly, and it reflected the red sky, but even so, the head of the realm dozens of miles away could not see the red cloud.

However, Liu Bei, who was ambushed early here, was full of confidence, even though Zhuge Liang's face was beaten when the grass boat borrowed arrows, but tonight's east wind was borrowed by Kong Ming, and there was no suspense in this battle.

Zhang Fei was simpler in his mind, although he was pacing back and forth on the side, but he couldn't sit still like this, he just desperately hoped that the person who came to this road was Lu Bu, not anyone else.

In Zhang Fei's opinion, Liu Bei's panic in the north and south in the past few years was completely due to Lu Bu, if he hadn't made a bad sneak attack on Xuzhou, the huge Xuzhou would not be enough to support his brother's development?

If it wasn't for his sneak attack on Xuzhou, then how could Lin Mo become his son-in-law in the end?

The pattern of the world will not become what it is today.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhang Fei muttered: "Three family slaves, look at me, I won't send you a few blood holes tonight!" ”

Guan Yu was a little distracted, even though he was arrogant and looked down on Zhuge Liang's showmanship in the past, but An Feng's three tips for the first battle really convinced him, and he was a little depressed because he had gone to look for it when Huang Shot came before.

After inquiring, I learned a heart-wrenching news, Yan Liangwen didn't come, and these two bidders can live for a while.

Now he has slowly changed the habit of brushing his beard that he has cultivated for many years, but the scars left on his heart by Yan Liangwen and ugliness remind him every day like a nightmare.

He decided that after catching Yan Liangwen and Chou, he had to shave the beards of the two of them before killing, otherwise it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Why haven't the defeated soldiers of these three family slaves arrived yet?" Zhang Fei began to get agitated, and the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand seemed to be sizzling.

"Third brother, be patient."

Liu Bei smiled indifferently, "Even if their defeated army arrives, we can't do it immediately." ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei blankly.

"First, we need to let go of the escape team in the vanguard first, and let them go back to Xiling City to paralyze Hao Zhao and Guo Huai in the city, so that it will be easier for our army to sneak into the city after putting on the armor of the Lu Lin Army.

Both, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of Xiakou, even if the army is defeated, it will take time, and the defeated army will flee from the large force behind, if it can't be killed with one blow, those remnants of the army are in a desperate situation, and they are likely to fight back, which is the wonder of the three missing one. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Fei, with a hint of meaning in his eyes, how about it, brother knows the soldiers, right?

After all, they have been brothers for many years, of course Zhang Fei doesn't need to hold Liu Bei's feet, he just nodded sneeringly, anyway, he has been used to it over the years, and he can do whatever his brother says.

The night is not quiet, the cold wind is howling, but everyone does not feel cold, tonight is a meritorious service, everyone is riveting, some people are looking forward to having the strength to enter the Central Plains after taking Jiangxia;

Some people dream of stabbing the three family slaves; There are also people who look forward to the merits earned after the First World War, which will be enough for his wife and children to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

As Liu Bei expected, the scouts did not return, but they had already begun to run by the defeated soldiers in a panic, they were basically cavalry, which was normal, only cavalry could run so fast.

But there are not many of them, scattered, there may be one or two thousand, the line is very long, this is obviously not the person Liu Bei has to wait for, he patiently closed his eyes and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but finally a call came.

"Report! Lord! ”

In the distance, a scout dismounted and quickly ran over and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord, the defeated army of a large group has arrived, and it has reached five miles away, and it will soon enter the post road!" ”

"How many people are coming? Are there three house slaves? Zhang Fei asked impatiently.

"This subordinate doesn't know, these defeated soldiers are already few, and we can't detect it when the night covers the eyes of the army, but there are a lot of people, and there are only 20,000 people from the movement!"

Twenty thousand?

Hearing this, Liu Guanzhang's eyes lit up, this number is enough.

Although there are more than 400,000 troops in Lu Lin, but there is a fire in Xiakou, most of those sailors will not survive, plus Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 50,000 troops will be pushed by after landing, and the Lu Lin army will definitely lose a lot in a bloody battle.

After comprehensive analysis, there are indeed not too many defeated troops on this road, not to mention, maybe there will be people behind them, but Liu Bei doesn't plan to wait any longer, his appetite is not so big, this time there are only 8,000 people who come up with studs.

In the face of the 20,000 people who were preparing for the battle, it is not too much to say that they can handle two words.

"Hahaha, they've got it, big brother, it's our turn, right?" Zhang Fei grinned.

Liu Bei really wanted to calm down, but the excitement overflowed on his face, he breathed a little faster, nodded and looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, "Second brother and third brother, as soon as the big battle starts later, the front army will release rockets to ignite the reeds to cut off the road ahead, and the soldiers in the rear will also wave their flags and shout to scare back the deserters in the back, and then the three of us will kill them all in one go, and we will be able to kill all these defeated soldiers!" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, didn't Mr. already explain it before the expedition, I remember it."

"Yide, this time is different from the past, although Kong Ming also said that Lu Bu and Lin Mo are unlikely to take this road, but if you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, you are afraid of what happens, if Lu Lin is in the 20,000 army, then there must be other strong generals around them, and you two can't chase and kill in love." This is what Liu Bei is most worried about.

Not to mention how capable Lu Bu is, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao are all fierce generals who are known as invincible in the world.

The battle under Yang'an Mountain has been seen very clearly, Zhao Yun is not what it used to be, he can maneuver between himself and Zhang Fei with his own strength, and his combat power is against the sky.

Zhang Liao's bravery is obvious to all, they have seen it when they were in Xuzhou, otherwise they could break 30,000 in 800 during the Guangling War?

As for Ma Chao, it is rumored that his courage is not inferior to Zhao Yun, although he has not fought against him, but the person who can get to this position in the fierce general Lu Lin military camp is definitely not weak.

What's more, there are also trapped camps and wolf riders under his command, which are all elites who are one of the hundreds.

Of course, Liu Bei knew that under a big war of this level, it was impossible for Lu Lin to really gather all the elite soldiers and fierce generals together, and when he ran away, who could take care of so much.

But when it's time to be reminded, it's still time to be reminded.

Soon, the defeated soldiers entered the ambush range, as expected, these people had no rules to speak of, the cavalry ran wildly without waiting for the rear sergeants, the infantry were crowded, and they were afraid that they would run slower, and even the sound of throwing their armor could be heard.

Okay, okay, Liu Bei took a deep breath, "Do it!" ”

After the order was given, the soldiers behind him ignited a rocket and shot it into the air.

This is a signal arrow, and the sergeants in front of the front who received the signal immediately took action, and they took out the velvet they carried and threw it into the pit in front of them, and in an instant, the fire line spread like a long dragon in the deep pit.

Through the light of the fire, three rows of crossbowmen drew their arrows neatly, and the arrows ignited as soon as they dipped into the flames, and then shot them at a forty-five degree angle.

As the rockets fell, the cavalry at the front had not had time to rush through this post road, and the dead grass and reeds piled up in front of them had already been ignited.

Liu Jun seemed to think that the fire was not burning enough, and some people smashed the jar full of fire oil into the fire, and the flames jumped high, and the war horse raised its front hooves high in fright to stop its steps.

"Brothers, kill me!" Liu Bei, who had boarded Luma, drew out the double-strand sword at his waist and shouted an order, and the army in ambush in the hill swarmed up.

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Lin's army was all frozen and motionless, as if they were quails that had been frightened stupidly.

It's just that in this group of quails, a man riding a tall horse didn't even glance at the place where the fighting sound was made, looked at the blade in his hand indifferently, and muttered: "I haven't hunted for a long time, I hope the people who come don't disappoint me." ”

Then, there was a burst of applause, "Array to meet the enemy!" ”

The soldiers who had been in chaos began to move.
