Chapter 117 Bowangpo, set up an ambush!
Bowangpo - located in the southwest of Xinye sixty miles, north of Funiu Mountain, south of Gaoyin Mountain, is a large hilly area, undulating, complex terrain, very suitable for hiding soldiers and horses, or killing people!
Speaking of this hill, there is a historical story, during the Western Han Dynasty - Yuan Shuo, diplomat, explorer - Zhang Qian crossed the desert twice, sent to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, laid a solid foundation for the westward expansion of the Han Dynasty, so it was named 'Bowanghou', the fief is here, so it was named Bowangpo!
More than 300 years have passed, the sun set in the Han Dynasty, no longer the strong situation of the year, Zhang Qian's family has also declined, the children and grandchildren have moved to live elsewhere, and Bowangpo has become a wasteland, with lush vegetation and wild beasts!
"There are traces of enemy troops in front, and there is a big banner with the word 'Liu', I suspect that Liu Bei is here, whether the men and horses will continue to pursue, and ask the general to decide?"
Cao Jun came to Bowangpo and found that between the barren mountains and mountains, flags were fluttering, tents were dense, and there seemed to be a large number of ambushes.
"Hah! Ha! -The banner is disorganized, this is a pretending to be a suspicious soldier, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, quickly chase and kill the past, and capture Liu Bei alive in one fell swoop! ”
After learning about the situation, Cao Hong came to watch it in person, and found that there were many enemy flags and tents, but the distribution was very chaotic, so he immediately put his mind at ease!
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, so they can show that they can't, and they don't need to show it...... "If Liu Bei really has an ambush, he should stop the flag and lure himself in.
"Kill! --Capture Liu Bei alive and be rewarded for meritorious service! ”
…………………………
As the saying goes: With Cao Hong's support, Xiahou Jie instantly came to the spirit and led the men and horses to Bowangpo, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant!
Sure enough, the banners and tents of the Jingzhou soldiers were all false, and there were no people and horses in them, and the Cao army rushed all the way in, almost without resistance, until they entered the hinterland, they could be regarded as encountering a group of enemy troops!
There were about 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers, arrayed on a high slope, the formation was chaotic, and there was a shortage of armor...... As the first young general, his appearance is quite handsome, sitting down on the yellow horse, and the threaded gun in his hand is Liu Bei's righteous son - Liu Feng!
Liu Feng's original surname was Kou, his parents died when he was a child, he lived with his uncle Liu Mi, he was smart and clever, knowledgeable and courteous, and had a good reputation in the township party. ’
One: Liu and Kou are the Wang clans of Nanyang County, and accepting Liu Feng as their righteous son can form a good alliance with the local scholars, gain their full support, quickly gain a foothold in Xinye, and then plot the entire Jingzhou!
Second: Liu Bei is over forty years old, he has no heirs under his knees, his heart is very desolate, he accepts Liu Feng as a righteous son to be auspicious, and may give birth to a son-in-law.
"Dare Cao thief, dare to invade my city, kill you without leaving a piece of armor - look at the gun!"
"Those who flee from the wind dare to speak wildly, and this general will take your head - look at the gun!"
……………………
Liu Feng and Xiahou Jie raised their guns at the same time, the two horses circled, and fought for forty or fifty rounds in a row, but the victory was still unscored, and the soldiers on both sides waved their flags and cheered for their respective generals!
The fight between the two is fierce, but the level is not clever at all, but the moves are clumsy and full of loopholes, but it is edamame tofu meets marinated shrimp paste, there is no smelly, only more smelly!
"The enemy general is so powerful, the master will not accompany him! --Da! Da! ”
After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, Liu Feng couldn't parry, the spear flickered with a move, turned the horse's head and ran, and quickly disappeared into the col!
"The enemy general Hugh wants to flee, leave the head and then talk about it--chase it!"
Xiahou Jie was overjoyed to win, and immediately led the team to chase down, about to capture Liu Bei's father and son, Cao Hong didn't suspect anything, and urged the team to follow up, and he didn't blame them for being careless, because Liu Feng's escape was too realistic, and it didn't look like a fraud at all!
Some people can't help but wonder, Liu Feng is a hairy boy, how to deceive the old soldiers, the reason is very simple, he really can't beat it, and he is really running for his life, so naturally he can't see the flaw!
However, Cao Hong is experienced, and while leading the troops to pursue, he is also checking the surrounding situation, so as not to encounter an ambush, but he is afraid of something, and he really encountered an ambush in a ravine!
"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”
"Whoosh! --Sou! Sou! ”
……………………
The drums of war were like thunder, shouting and killing, and a team of men and horses rushed out of the col, holding a handsome flag with the word "Liu", and the "Lu" horse of the leader was mounted, holding a double-strand sword, which was the big ear - Liu Bei!
Liu Bei and Liu Feng joined forces and launched a counterattack against the Cao army, and the Jingzhou soldiers on the high slopes on both sides continued to cast cold arrows to shoot the Cao army in the ravine, and the battle was extremely fierce!
"Haha! - People say that Liu Bei is not good at using soldiers, and will only run away with his tail between his legs, which is really not a lie, how can there be no reason to be invincible in such an ambush? ”
Seeing the ambush soldiers pouring out, Cao Hong couldn't help but laugh back, and ridiculed his opponent, one: There are only thousands of ambush soldiers, and their subordinates are chaotic and incomplete, so they can't eat more than 10,000 of their own horses, but they drive sheep and fight tigers!
Second: The terrain here is wide, it is easy for people and horses to advance and retreat, and there are forests to cover, it is not a good place to set up an ambush.
"Break out of the encirclement, occupy Gaogang, capture Liu Bei alive - kill!"
"Surround the Cao army, capture the enemy generals alive, and swear to protect the nine counties of Jingxiang to the death!"
………………
Cao Jun has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience, holding his shield high to block the opponent's rain of arrows; On the one hand, they formed an attack formation and frequently launched counteroffensives, trying to capture the high posts on both sides!
Cao Hong held an iron broadsword, took the lead, fought bravely, and encouraged the morale of the whole army.
Liu Bei's father and son also let go, wielding weapons, fighting for their lives, knowing that they were not Cao Jun's opponents, they were still stalking and fighting, and they broke out with rare bravery!
On the one hand, the soldiers are brave and well-equipped, and on the other hand, they are condescending and well-prepared, and the two sides chant slogans, fighting to the death and not retreating, only the corpses killed are all over the field, the blood is flowing in the canal, and the battle situation is unbearable!
After fighting for an hour, the Jingzhou soldiers gradually couldn't support it, the men and horses suffered heavy casualties, and a high post was also lost, Liu Bei's father and son saw that the situation was not good, and showed their ancestral stunts, and the girl fled into the ravine, and Cao Jun followed, vowing to capture the big-eared thief alive!
The battle came to this point, the soldiers of the Cao army were relieved, both battles were won, the ambush was broken again, Liu Bei's father and son fled in a hurry, and they were powerless to return to the sky!
In addition, while desperately escaping, the Jingzhou soldiers were discarding things, armor, weapons, flags, clothes, and money bags...... Everything was available, and the generals abandoned their horses and began to flee on foot!
Therefore, Cao Jun lost his vigilance and relaxed his fighting spirit, just blindly chasing the defeated soldiers and snatching the spoils all over the ground, completely ignoring the road ahead - the road ahead was full of thorns, rugged and difficult, and the terrain was becoming more and more dangerous!
After chasing for a while, the road became more and more difficult, the soldiers of the Cao army were crowded, and it was very difficult to turn around, and Liu Bei and his son, who had been chasing, suddenly disappeared after turning a few mountain passes!
"The whole army will stop pursuing, quickly regroup, and there will be those who are vying for the spoils of war - beheading!"
Cao Hong has been on the battlefield for a long time, after all, he has some eyesight, looking at the rugged road, a chill rose in his heart, and he wanted to rectify the people in case something unexpected happened, but unfortunately it was too late!
"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”
………………
In the dense forest of the high posts on both sides, a low horn sounded, and then countless Jingzhou soldiers rushed out, using wolf teeth to roll wood and round boulders, and smashed them into the ravine, and there were also high-skilled marksmen who specialized in shooting Cao Jun's generals!
Cao's army was disorganized, exhausted, and crowded in the ravine, there was no place to hide, and the men and horses fell in pieces, and the corpses were mountains and rivers of blood, which was unbearable!
It turned out that Xu Shu set up a plan, first discarded a large number of cities, dispersed the forces of the Cao army, and then defeated them twice in a row, leading them into the Jedi, and finally ambushed the troops and annihilated them in one fell swoop!
At the same time, Liu Bei's father and son reorganized their men and horses, and they also came out of the mountain pass, wielding weapons, slashing and killing, and venting all the grievances of being chased before on Cao Jun's head, and the fight was very fierce!
"There is an ambush here, brothers retreat!"
"Get out of the way in the back, and if you want to be crowded again, there will be only one dead end!"
……………………
Suddenly receiving a fierce blow, Cao's army collapsed on the whole line, and the soldiers turned around and ran, but unfortunately there were too many people and horses, and the road was too narrow, not only could they not run out, but trampled on many of their own people, and it was completely chaotic!
Cao Hong and Xiahou Jie shouted, trying to reorganize the men and horses, and then fight Liu Bei to the death, but unfortunately the army was defeated like a mountain, and no one had the power to return to the sky, so they could only flee with the defeated army!
At this point, the uncle and nephew urged the war horse, desperately broke through, encountered a crowded mountain road, directly slashed with weapons, and killed a bloody alley, and finally rushed out of Bowangpo, and then counted the men and horses under his command, which was less than half!
Cao Hong and Xia Houjie didn't dare to stay, and retreated to Xinye with the remnants of the army, trying to block the pursuing soldiers, and then gather people from all over the place, maybe they could turn defeat into victory!
"Whoosh! --Sou! Sou! ”
That knowing people is not as good as heaven, Cao Jun fled to Xinye City, waiting for not to respond to the people, but a ruthless rain of arrows, suddenly killed and injured a large area, it turned out that Xu Shu dispatched troops to secretly recapture Xinye City, cutting off the retreat of Cao Jun!
