Chapter 567

The army is coming!

Just a few days ago, after Le Jin was forced to rebel by Cao Xiu, Yanling City was immediately taken by Haobai.

In Cao Cao's plan, Haobai only came to Yanling not long ago, and according to Lejin's ability, it should be okay to hold on for ten days and half a month, and no matter how bad it is, it can last for six or seven days.

Coupled with the distance between Yanling and Xudu, Haobai's soldiers came to Xudu at least ten days later, but Cao Cao didn't expect to be defeated so quickly, so fast that he didn't have time to react.

However, Haobai only surrounded Xu Du and did not attack, and then withdrew his troops directly, leaving only 30,000 soldiers and horses to continue to surround Xu Du.

Cao Cao immediately understood that Haobai was different from him, he had welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xudu in order to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but now Haobai obviously didn't think so, he didn't want the trouble of the Son of Heaven.

In other words, Haobai didn't want a person to ride on his head, even if it was only in name, after thinking about this, Cao Cao suddenly put his mind at ease, and understood that Xu Du was temporarily saved.

......

Just when Haobai was about to retreat, several horsemen suddenly rushed straight towards him, shouting an urgent report.

Liu Bei is coming!

In the past, Cao Cao reached an agreement with other princes, including Liu Bei, who was naturally among them, and they fought against Xu Beng's idea of competing for the profit of the fisherman.

But because Haobai was too strong, they kept making a move, but now Cao Cao is no longer in the climate, so Liu Bei can't help it.

Before the siege of Xu Du, the south had been calm, and now Haobai has more than 300,000 troops, and no one expected that Liu Bei would suddenly come to raise a division.

Liu Bei, the leader of the troops, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others under his command, waved 50,000 troops, although there were some precautions before, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to suddenly make a surprise move, not to attack head-on, but to go around to some easy places to attack, and occupied most of Jingzhou at once.

Then according to the latest intelligence, we have learned that Zhuge Liang has defected to Liu Bei, and it is obvious that these schemes are Zhuge Liang's ideas.

And Haobai's side guarding Jingzhou is Gan Ning, Liu, Guan, Zhang plus a Zhuge Liang, against Gan Ning, it is normal for Gan Ning to not be an opponent.

Gan Ning sent Pegasus to report Haobai on the one hand, and waited for the battle on the other.

Liu Guanzhang and Zhuge Liang are indeed not to be underestimated, but in the end, it is still the combat effectiveness of the army to speak.

In the face of Haojun's strong bow and crossbow, steel knife and thick armor, plus Gan Ning himself is not an ordinary person, and now the two sides are facing each other, but Haobai is still worried that Gan Ning will not be able to resist, just because of Zhuge Liang.

......

In the north direction of Jingzhou, the dust in the sky is rolling like a torrent, like a black cloud.

In the land of Jingzhou, there will be no sandstorms at all, and those who can form such a momentum can have nothing but a huge army rolling in.

Mercedes-Benz is at the front, it is Haobai's army, before the army, Haobai and Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and several people are constantly discussing something with each other all the way.

After receiving the urgent report from Jingzhou, several strategists deeply felt that Liu Bei's comer was not good, under the strong strength of Haobai, Liu Bei dared to come to touch the tiger's whiskers with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, obviously he came prepared, so all the strategists were invited to come with the army.

As for Cao Cao of Xu Du, only 30,000 soldiers and horses were left, Haobai thought that he would not die, Cao Cao was a smart man, he would not do what he knew he could not do, but he didn't have to worry about anything, unless he didn't want to die.

The army marched slowly all the way, and this time Haobai only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, after all, Liu Bei did not have many soldiers and horses.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops drove the smoke and dust in the sky, rushed all the way, came to a place called Funiu Mountain, and soon rushed into the Funiu Mountain Pass, and went south along the mountain road, like a long dragon.

Seeing that when the red sun was slanting westward, it had already passed through most of the mountain road, and the mountain road that was originally dozens of zhang wide suddenly gradually narrowed, and the front was gradually only more than ten zhang wide, and the mountains on both sides were becoming more and more precipitous.

"Slow down, don't go any further!" Guo Jia suddenly shouted.

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Pang Tong's face also changed, and he said urgently: "Don't move forward!"

The two strategists stopped at the same time, and Haobai also shouted, "Stop!"

Woooooo

The melodious sound of trumpets sounded in the valley and rippled in the mountains, startling the birds and birds flying high into the air in pieces, and the beasts in the forest scurrying in all directions.

The army of 50,000 slowly stopped like a long dragon.

Guo Jia said with a solemn expression: "Lord, the forest ahead is deep and the grass is dense, the mountain road is narrow, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, such as today's dry things, the leaves are yellow and the branches are withered, it is appropriate to set fire, we have to guard against it." ”

Before the words fell, the scout had already returned from his horse, and said: "Lord Qiqi, there is a post beam three miles ahead, called Bowangpo, the terrain is steep, the mountain road is narrow, and the narrowest part is only four or five zhang wide. ”

"Bowangpo! The place where Zhuge Liang became famous!"

Guo Jia was right, the front was not only suitable for arson, but also an excellent place to set fire, where Xiahoudun's 100,000 army was burned to the ground by Zhuge Liang.

Hao Bai suddenly smiled and said: "The thief army is lying on both sides, if it is only an attack with crossbow arrows, wood and stones, it may not be able to bargain, it will be a fire plan, in this case, we will return the other way to the other!"

Zhao Yun on the side asked suspiciously: "Could it be that we also use fire!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone quickly understood that Bowangpo is indeed very suitable for fire prevention, and this fire will burn more than ten miles of Bowangpo into a sea of fire, which is indeed a good plan.

The plan was decided, Haobai turned around and shouted, "Fetch five hundred torches!"

After a while, in front of the army, the flames were blazing, and hundreds of elite soldiers with huge torches stood neatly on the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road, and a large area of fire barrier was also cut behind them.

"Burn!"

Zhao Yun gave an order.

The grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road were immediately ignited, and finally countless torches were thrown out, falling from the sky and falling into the thatch farther away.

Whew!

At this time, the wind was blowing, and it was getting stronger, and the dead vines and weeds in the mountains rustled, and the scene was desolate.

The wind fueled the fire, and the flames grew bigger and bigger, and the flames spread rapidly like a fire dragon.

What no one could have imagined was that it was not Zhuge Liang who burned Bowangpo, but Haobai.

Among the dense grass and trees on both sides of the Bowangpo mountain road, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting for the army, and it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who led the army.

For this ambush, they had been lying in ambush in the mountains for several days, and they had been waiting impatiently for those days of eating and sleeping in the open, drinking spring water and eating dry food.

Zhang Fei frowned, his face showed a hideous look, and he secretly thought to himself: "They are finally here, and they can finally have a big fight." ”

While they were waiting, a strong smell poured into his nose and mouth, and Guan Yu coughed violently a few times, and jumped up in shock.
