There was still the last trace of sunset, and Bolingdu was red by the sunset.
Suddenly a jackdaw arose in the vast reeds, and flew into the distance with its wings.
In the reeds, the eight thousand Jingzhou troops in armor lay on the ground silently, and even the war horses were all pressed to the ground.
Zhang Fei, at the front of the army, was waiting for a pair of ringed eyes, looking at the front, although according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, it was necessary to retreat in a hurry after the fire broke out in Xinye City in the second half of the night, and the enemy army was flooded by the fire and water, but this rough and fine general faintly felt a trace of unease.
"The enemy is coming," someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look into the distance, only to see that a few miles away, smoke and dust rose heavily, a dark cloud slowly surged, and then formed a black wave, and gradually transformed into thousands of troops and horses, slowly surging towards the Boling Ferry.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened: "Damn, how could the thief army retreat so quickly, could it be that Jian Yong's house leaked the news, and they all cheered up Lao Tzu and prepared to fight, and the crossbowmen were ready to release arrows", With the sound of bowstrings and crossbow arms, a feathered arrow was aimed ahead, and the arrow shone with a cold light.
The oncoming enemy army was getting closer and closer, and seeing that it was only a few hundred steps away from the river beach, Hao Zhao, who was leading the army, suddenly reined in his horse's feet.
Hao Zhao looked at the current situation, only to see a vast river beach bathed in the thin morning light, the river beach was covered with dense reeds, the dense reeds swayed gently in the morning breeze, everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful, but the intuition formed by years of battle clearly reminded Hao Zhao that there was murder in the reeds "Phew" Hao Zhao drank the war horse, Huo Ran raised his right arm, and the generals who followed behind him hurriedly followed the war horse, and there were already heralds to convey Hao Zhao's military orders like a stream, and the worry-relieving army that was rushing forward gradually slowed down, and finally stopped six or seven hundred steps in front of the river beach.
Hao Zhao put his hand on the pergola, and after visually measuring the distance, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted loudly: "Gun and shield soldiers are out of the ranks" scold With a loud response, thousands of worry-relieving troops armed with iron shields and spears burst out, neatly lined up at the front of the military formation.
They were followed by ordinary swordsmen, then thousands of archers armed with crossbows, and the only 1,000 cavalry in the army were divided into two teams, guarding the left and right flanks, ready to charge.
After the queue was neatly arranged, Hao Zhao gave an order: "Move forward slowly, keep the queue, and cut those who disturb the formation."
As the military order was passed on, the army of 20,000 people marched neatly and slowly, gradually advancing towards the reeds, and the pieces of embroidered flags and swords and halberds like forests were overwhelming, murderous, forming a great pressure on the Jingzhou army in the reeds.
"General, it seems that the thief army has discovered us," said a military officer beside Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei snorted coldly and said: "Don't be afraid, when the enemy army is within the firing range, shoot it with random arrows first, and then the general will lead the army to break through into the army, and take the head of their main general, then the thief army will be defeated." ” His eyes had already locked on Hao Zhao under the banner, and he intended to use his personal bravery to forcibly rush into battle and kill him, which may be the only chance for the Jingzhou army.
The Yan army is getting closer and closer, but the formation is kept neat and orderly, meticulous, so that Zhang Fei, who has experienced a hundred battles, can't help but show admiration in his tiger eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Bai'er's command is really a good general, this person is not very old, and he is not very famous, he can still govern the army so strictly, it seems that he must kill this person."
Because of a friendship back then, even though it was a soldier's meeting, he still did not change his praise for Gongsun Bai, unlike Liu Bei's shouting of "Gongsun Xiaoer" and "Gongsun Thief" at every turn.
And what he didn't know was that it was the unknown young general opposite him, who had blocked Zhuge Liang's 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army for several months with thousands of soldiers and horses, causing Zhuge Liang to retreat to Hanzhong in ashes.
Four hundred steps Three hundred steps Two hundred and fifty steps Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, the Jingzhou army was becoming more and more nervous, especially those crossbowmen, who held their crossbows high and aimed their arrows at the enemy, just waiting for Zhang Fei to give an order, and they were about to shoot out.
And their main general, Zhang Fei, clutched the Zhangqu snake spear tightly, ready to jump up at any time, rushed into the Yan army on horseback, and killed Hao Zhao.
However, to their extreme disappointment, the oncoming Yan army actually stopped two hundred and fifty paces away in front of the reeds.
"What the hell are you doing" Zhang Fei frowned and scolded in a low voice.
In order to conceal the tracks, there were no ambushes within more than ten steps before the reeds, so that even the most advanced crossbowmen were more than two hundred and sixty steps away from the enemy, not to mention bows and arrows, even the effective range of the strong crossbows in their hands was only one hundred and fifty steps, not only could not hurt the enemy, but could not even shoot in front of the enemy.
Woohoo Just when Zhang Feizheng was puzzled, the terrible sound of breaking the air was loud, and everyone looked up to the sky, only to see a dark cloud swept in, and thousands of sharp wolf's teeth and arrows swept into the sky in an instant, and the sky was intertwined into a dense rain of arrows, roaring down towards the reeds.
The Jingzhou army looked at the crossbow arrows that were fired from more than two hundred paces away, and they didn't expect that the enemy's crossbow arrows could still cause damage to them two hundred and fifty or sixty steps away.
Even the powerful Jingzhou army, who had learned the rhubarb crossbow back then, knew that the power of the Yan army's crossbow arrows was only more than two hundred steps, and there was no lethality at all beyond two hundred and fifty steps.
A crossbow arrow roared straight towards Zhang Fei, as fast as a meteor, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of Zhang Fei's eyes, so shocked that Zhang Fei hurriedly knocked it down with the spear shaft.
Puff puff The first row of crossbow arrows roared down, only to hear the screams loud, the sound of arrows penetrating into the flesh and bones was endless, and the thin armor was not enough to resist the terrifying lethality, and one after another the Jingzhou army was fiercely nailed to the ground.
Zhang Fei woke up like a dream, and while blocking the incoming arrows, he shouted hoarsely: "Damn, brothers, quickly raise the shield, quickly lift the shield."
However, it was still too late.
Before the big shield could be connected into a thick top wall, the dense arrows like rain had already roared down, and the endless miserable howl sounded in an instant, and hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers fell down in an instant, falling into a pool of blood.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he burst into smoke, shouted violently, took the war horse, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me, fight" After saying that, he got on the big black horse, brandished the Zhangba snake spear, and while blocking the incoming arrows, he rushed towards the Yan army.
The Jingzhou army behind him saw that the winner would be so brave, and they also strengthened their spirits, followed Zhang Fei's back, shouted and surged forward.
However, the rain of arrows did not stop at all, and there were six or seven thousand crossbowmen in the 20,000 army of relief of worries, and Hao Zhao divided them into four teams and shot them in turn, just making up for the time to load the crossbow arrows.
In addition, the speed of the infantry was far inferior to that of the cavalry after all, so that those Jingzhou army infantry who followed Zhang Fei to charge into battle could not rush within 200 steps of the Jiewei army.
When Zhang Fei rushed to within 100 steps of the Yan army, he sadly found that he was the only one left around, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were either shot down or fled in a hurry.
Woohoo The next moment, under Hao Zhao's order, the hundred crossbow arrows beside him were aimed at Zhang Fei, who was galloping in the middle, and the dense rain of arrows almost enveloped half of his body.
Zhang Fei roared, and waved the snake spear in front of him like an iron curtain, but it was still dangerous, several crossbow arrows grazed his side and roared, and then his shoulder was also scratched by the crossbow arrows and it hurt hotly, and finally his scalp was cold, and even his helmet was lifted off.
Zhang Fei was so frightened that he had to beat his horse and gallop to the side, where did he dare to stay half a step.
Woooooooo The Yan army sounded a continuous trumpet of charge, and the 20,000 army roared, launching a fierce charge towards Bolingdu, chasing and killing the Jingzhou army who were rushing in the reeds and on the broken riverbed.
Magpie tail slope.
In the twilight, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood side by side on the high slope, looking at the direction of Xinye City, stunned, and behind them stood Liu Feng, Mi Fang and Mi Zhu and others.
"It's windy on the mountain, so let's go to the tent and rest first, it's still early in the middle of the night."
Zhuge Liang persuaded.
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I have been fighting horses all my life, this wind is nothing, I have lived in Xinye for a long time, once it is burned, not only will tens of thousands of people suffer, but I will also be unable to give up Xinye City in my heart after all, I only hope that this fire can burn a little stronger, burn more Yan soldiers and horses, and it is best to burn Gongsun Xiao'er to death with a fire." ” Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Now that Gongsun Xiao'er has full fledgling wings, his momentum has been achieved, how can it be so easy to burn to death, not to mention, if Gongsun Bai arrives, my senior brothers Pang Tong and Xu Shu, as well as Guo Jia and Sima Yi have also arrived, I am afraid that this plan may be discovered." ” Liu Bei said hatefully: "I knew that Gongsun Xiao'er would one day usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, so I should have killed him with all my life, even if I was executed by my senior brother Ling Chi, I was willing." ” Zhuge Liang said: "The lord can rest assured, but if Liang has a breath, he will have to assist the lord to revitalize the Han family and recover the Central Plains."

Liu Bei's expression was also slightly excited: "I have Kong Ming, like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings."
While he was talking, Liu Feng on the side suddenly shouted: "Father, please look over there" The two looked up, and saw that a few miles away, countless torches converged into a fire dragon, rushing towards the Quewei Slope, which not only crowded the mountain road leading to the southeast, but also stretched for several miles, roughly estimated to be at least 20,000 people.
While everyone was in shock, several scouts rushed to the hillside panting and rushed to Liu Bei's side: "Lord Qi, the big thing is not good, the strategy of the military division seems to have been seen through by the Yan army, General Guan was attacked by Baima Yicong, and the enemy retreated, and the river embankment was lost; The three generals were raided by the enemy general Hao Zhao with 20,000 thieves in Bolingdu, and were finally outnumbered and defeated; Xinye City was besieged by Zhang Liao with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and led troops into the city to search, although there was a fire in the city, but it did not spread to the whole city, I am afraid that General Jian will be difficult to break through; Now the thief will Zhou Cang, and lead an army of 20,000 to come from the magpie tail slope. ” "What" Liu Bei was like being struck by lightning, and his face changed greatly.
Even Zhuge Liang, who claimed to have the power of ghosts and gods through heaven and latitude, became stunned and lost his soul.
"The four-way ambush, if one is found out, it is forgivable, after all, there are not a few capable people and wise men in the Yan army, but they are seen through everywhere, unless the Gongsun thief has the ability to reach the sky, or the news is leaked" However, Zhuge Liang quickly overturned the possibility of leaking the news, the leaders of the troops were all confidants, and the Yan army came completely prepared, if it was leaked, the time would not be right at all.
The only possibility is that Gongsun Bai or his strategists have the ability to predict the future, otherwise it is reasonable to block the river and the fire plan to be discovered, and the ambush of Bolingdu may barely be guessed by the enemy's strategists to the extreme, but their soldiers and horses in Quewei Slope, how can the enemy know about it In an instant, Zhuge Liang only felt a strong sense of frustration welling up in his heart, and this Mr.
Wolong, who was famous in Jingzhou, felt so helpless for the first time.
What he never dreamed of was that he was so famous in the play of burning Xinye in history that Gongsun Bai, who came through the time, thought of that scene in history when he heard the word Xinye, so as to predict all his arrangements in advance.
