Chapter 946: Burning Jinshan
As Zhao Yun expected, the other armies also made rapid progress. When Zhao Yun entered Jianwei County, Huang Zhong captured the old road, and Gao Shun took Danchang County. Subsequently, the three-way army marched in unison, like three sharp knives, deeply pierced into the inner belly of Wudu County.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and Zhao Yun's troops had already occupied Jinshan, looking at the administrative office of Wudu County from afar. At this time, Zhao Yun finally stopped the offensive, set up camp, and waited for the convergence of Ma Chao's army and the other two vanguards - his men were all white horse cavalry, and the guerrillas were invincible, but when it came to siege....... in fact, few generals were stupid enough to use cavalry to attack the city.
"Ziyi, tonight, the lord should arrive first, right?" Zhao Yun looked at the map in his hand, did not raise his head, and asked Tai Shici.
"Yes." Tai Shi Ci put away the double halberd in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yun, frowned, and said, "Brother, you are going to have a private conversation with the lord tonight?" ”
"Not bad." Zhao Yun put away the map, and the more he looked at him, the more uneasy he became. And at this moment, Zhao Yun's nose suddenly twitched, and a huge ominous premonition fell on his head.
Before Zhao Yun could get up, a hoarse shout came from outside the camp: "It's water!" ”
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were stunned, and without saying a word, they got up and came out: a clearer shout came from outside, it was spring at this time, the air was dry, and the camp was more of a wooden building, and they were most afraid of fire. If it burns, it will be continuous and endless.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the cold wind outside the tent took the opportunity to blow in, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were shocked to see that the entire mountain was burning into the sky under the howling wind, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky. The fire burned from all directions, but after Zhao Yun tried the direction of the wind, he suddenly felt that this fire was flying towards his military camp with the help of the strong southeast wind, and the fire was flying towards his military camp at great speed!
"Fire, fire....... fire ....... burned!" By this time, the waves of fire had reached less than two hundred paces from the barracks, and they were rapidly approaching. Many war horses neighed and struggled with animal instincts, broke through the simple stables and ran wildly, and the stunned white horse immediately shouted in a panic.
The entire military camp immediately fell into chaos, Zhao Yun immediately made a decision, gathered his own soldiers and said: "Give up the war horses, gather the troops with noise, we still have time!" ”
"There is a water source behind the camp, so everyone tears off the cloth strips and covers their noses with water!" Tai Shici behind him also ordered at the same time, he knew that the reason why he dared to camp on a high place was because there was water on this mountain.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun usually manages the army in a good way, and the military is very powerful. After the order was given, the pro-soldiers followed the instructions of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, fetched water and gathered troops to prepare to break through.
However, just when this man was scurrying around, the fire had already burned into the barracks, and the tents were instantly shrouded in the fire, and the flames soared into the sky, and the red sky was dyed red, reflecting each other with the burning clouds. The panicked and frightened shouts of the soldiers in the camp were silenced, but then they gradually turned into terrible wails!
Finally, when Zhao Yun gathered less than 5,000 white horse servants and was ready to abandon the camp to break through. Tai Shi Ci beside him suddenly pulled Zhao Yun and pointed with a single halberd: "Brother, look behind the fire!" ”
Zhao Yun stared at it and was immediately shocked. Through the licking flames, Zhao Yunying saw countless Zhang Lujun at the foot of the mountain. The bright knives and guns in their hands and the moving human heads, under the rendering of the firelight, made them look like evil ghosts from the hell fire sea, forming a huge net, waiting for Zhao Yunjun to throw himself into the net!
"How is this possible?!" Countless questions flashed in Zhao Yun's mind for a while: When did the enemy find out that they had camped in Jinshan? When did they gather this army, apparently more than 20,000 men, to wait here? What's more, at this time, it is the gap where the great armies converge, how did they accurately grasp this fleeting fighter?!
Zhao Yun's heart turned a thousand times, and at this moment, he finally understood why the two generals, Gan Ning and Zang Ba, were beaten so embarrassed by Zhang Lu!
"If you break through to the east, you will surely be buried in the fire; In other ways, they will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by them. Now that they've made the calculation, we can't let them down. Order, quickly empty this place, and bury yourself in the earth! Zhao Yun had an idea in his mind, and issued an order, and more and more Bai Ma Yi converged here, and after hearing the military order, they all set out to act.
At the foot of the mountain, Yang Ren looked at the raging waves not far away, listened to the mournful wails that reached his ears from time to time, and smiled coldly: "I'll see how long you can survive!" ”
At the same moment, Ma Chao, who was marching on the road, did not have the slightest joy on his face of the victory of the army, and he also looked uneasy. He took the military newspaper in his hand and read it over and over again.
The three-way army marched hand in hand, and the cities of Wudu were frightened by the Ma family's cultural attack and martial arts, and many defenders abandoned the city and fled before they could fight. This battle is not like war, it is almost like a chase race. Although Ma Chao had done a comprehensive propaganda offensive in advance, the frequent good news in the past few days made him more and more heartbroken.
The generals of the three-way army are all cautious and resolute people, and the letter says, as always, how many beheadings will be taken to attack a certain city. But in the end, it was to occupy a certain city and gain a certain city, and even the word of war was lost. The only word that gradually increased was that they all thought that victory would come too easily.
Although these three main generals did not explicitly write the words to let Ma Chao embankment, Ma Chao did not need to be reminded by them, and his mood became more and more cautious. In addition, he was in Wudu at this time, and it was difficult for him to smoothly accept the information of Kanto, and his heart gradually hung up.
Fortunately, you can reach Jinshan where Zhao Yun is located tonight, and after the army breaks through the Xiazhi, you can discuss it again. However, it was at this time that the Tanma in front suddenly came to report: "Lord, on the top of the Jin Mountain, the fire is raging, it seems that the thief army has set fire to the mountain and plotted to be the vanguard of our army!" ”
"Set fire to the mountain?!" Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then his face finally showed a little joy, and after looking back at the strategists, he said: "Sure enough, I can't help but start working, it's really not in vain that I have worked hard....... the army doesn't have to worry about this, continue to move forward, and take down the Xiazhen City guarded by Yang Renzhen!" ”
Under Ma Chao's order, the Tanma couldn't help but be a little stunned, and he was at a loss for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "My lord, General Zhao and General Taishi's subordinates, but there are more than 7,000 of our brothers, can we just watch them being burned to death?!" ”
"How is that possible?" Ma Chao smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "With Huang Zhong and Gao Shun's more than 13,000 troops to save them, and with Zilong Ziyi's martial arts and resourcefulness, will they lose to that third-rate military general Yang Ren?" ”
"But General Gao and General Huang, aren't there still two days to go before they can get to Xiazhi? ……..”
"Where, when the two of them sent troops from Shangqi, they had been covering Zhao Yun's vanguard from both sides of the flanks. The other two roads are just Huang Yuan and Li Yan each bringing a thousand people to make a force. The purpose is naturally to try what Zhang Lu's ears and eyes are. Ma Chao lifted the reins again, and his face became gloomy again: "It seems that they do know our movements, and even the main force of the virtual and real has found out." ”
"Fortunately, a third-rate general is a third-rate general after all, and he still can't stand the loneliness, so he automatically bites the bait and takes the bait........"
"Lord, don't be happy so early. Even if we won a small victory this time, it was Yang Ren's greed and recklessness. Guo Jia drove forward immediately, looking at Jinshan in front of him, and seemed to feel the compelling wave of fire: "But the person behind Zhang Lu can lay out such a big situation, so that a third-rate Yang Ren can raid Zilong, his skills are indeed extraordinary." ”
"Yes, the overall plan and the introduction of the army into the urn are indeed superb." When he said this, Ma Chao deliberately stared at Sima Yi and said with a smile: "I don't know if you can still find out that person after you set up such a clever plan?" ”
Sima Yi was unmoved, and after looking around, he spoke: "Everyone knows who that person is, why do you have to ask me to make a move?" ”
"I just like your pride, I just want to see how many pounds you have, can't you?"
