There are discrepancies between the romance and the official history, in the romance, Zhuge Liang's new official took office with three fires, and the first fire was the fire to burn Bowangpo.

In fact, it was not him who burned Bowangpo in the official history, but Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Biao saw that a large number of talents had defected to Liu Bei, and Cai Mao instigated suspicion from the side, so he sent him on a northern expedition.

Liu Bei had just taken refuge in Liu Biao, and he was helpless when he got the order, so he naturally had to go on a northern expedition. And in the area of Bowangpo, he designed to burn Cao Cao's army. After that, Cao Cao also focused his strategy on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and gave Jingzhou several years of peace.

The battle of Xinye is even more ethereal, and there is no record in the history books, which shows that Lao Luo really likes Zhuge Liang and adds countless halos to him. Of course, there is also the possibility of showing off his IQ, after all, that guy is actually a strategist under Zhang Shicheng. It is not excluded that he intends to spread his ideas on the art of war to the world in the form of novels.

It's just that the biggest beneficiary of this in later generations was from the Manchu Qing Dynasty......

Now Ma Chao is going south from Tongguan, but Cao Cao needs the Northern Expedition, which happens to be similar to the situation of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition in the official history. And Cao Cao, whose IQ has exceeded 100 points, chose the location of the battle in Bowangpo, which is also quite fateful.

The difference is that Liu Bei personally sent troops to attract Cao's army to attack, and he did not risk his life.

At this moment, Ma Chao and the others had just finished assembling their troops and went south from Tongguan to Nanyang County, and were about to go south to recover the Jingzhou area. After a short time, I passed by Bowangpo.

Ma Chao looked at the complex terrain ahead, with mountains, forests and canyons, so he naturally wanted to release scouts to check. Who knew that the scouts would return not long after their departure, indicating that an enemy army had been spotted at the entrance to Bowangpo, numbering about five hundred.

Ma Chao immediately smiled. What can 500 people do? Immediately led a thousand guards directly into the valley. I plan to meet this Cao Jun. Pound and Ma Dai were not in a hurry. In desperation, I could only follow.

Ma Chao has been almost smooth sailing since he started the army, and even if he encounters failure, it is the one commanded by Ma Dai and Pang De. The most dangerous thing is to duel with Yan Xing when he was a child, and he was almost killed by the other party. But in the final analysis, Yan Xing bullied the small, he was not a hero, and that decisive battle naturally didn't count, and Yan Xing was embarrassed to say that he had really defeated Ma Chao.

There is no experience of failure, which makes Ma Chao's self-confidence unprecedentedly inflated, and Cao Jun of more than 500 people. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to it.

It's just that Pang De and Ma Dai don't think so, after Cao Cao became one of the great warlords of the Central Plains after being eunuched, then he naturally has his uniqueness, how could he send only 500 people to fight? Obviously, there must be fraud in it, but I don't know how the other party uses it!

Ma Chao has already killed in front of Cao Jun at this moment, and at this moment, Cao Jun is led by the general Yue Xi. He is a military general in the early stage of congenital, but he is actually not Ma Chao's opponent. However, his duty is not to deal with Ma Chao, so it doesn't matter if he plays too well or not.

Bowang Slope is surrounded by mountains, and the large army cannot be used. Ma Chao's most proud cavalry charge could not form a scale. However, except for the generals such as Yue Xi, the soldiers below are all infantry. Ma Chao charged with a thousand cavalry, which was okay.

Originally, if Yue Xi had chosen, he would have planted a batch of mines not far in front of him to make Ma Chao feel refreshed. However, he has a military order, so he can only risk himself.

I saw that he immediately gave the order, and the soldiers raised their spears to form a gun formation. But Ma Chao was not afraid at all, and directly killed him first, and the spear in his hand bombarded the past, but it was a nirvana 'Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand'.

This move is a two-handed spinning gun, rolling the yellow sand wind blade in the sky, and the enemy soldiers are involved in it, and they are immediately crushed.

Gusts of wind struck, and a bloody path was opened up in an instant. It's a pity that he used this trick a little early, otherwise it could have caused more damage. However, his purpose has been achieved, the hard hedgehog has already exposed its soft belly, and the army has quickly killed it, and there is no need to worry about the future.

After all, he has been a military general for several years, and he naturally knows the order of showing force and commanding operations.

"Retreat!" When Yue Xi saw that the enemy army was killed, he immediately did not love the battle, and turned around and retreated directly. The 500 soldiers under his command are actually all soldiers in the Jingzhou region, so they will not be heartbroken if they die.

On the contrary, seeing him leave, Ma Chao chased after him proudly, and it seemed that he really planned to leave Yue Xi here. Seeing him chasing after him, Yue Xi smiled faintly, and the secret plan was successful.

"General, beware of deception!" At this moment, Pound and Ma Dai rushed over and persuaded each other with good words.

At this time, at the turn of Bowangpo, a cavalry army came out and killed Ma Chao directly. When the general led by Ma Chao and the others saw him, he couldn't help shouting: "Ma Chao Xiaoer, a certain Cao Mengde is here to meet you!" ”

Cao Cao? This guy actually personally led troops to set up an ambush?!

Not to mention Ma Chao, even Pang De and Ma Dai have the desire to charge. Hope. As long as Cao Cao's head is cut off, then this is a great achievement, and if the thief head dies, then the remaining guerrillas are not enough to worry about.

"The person in front, but Cao Cao?" Just to confirm, Ma Dai still found a few captured soldiers and inquired.

"It's Cao Cao! It's Cao Cao! The soldiers said tremblingly, in fact, they were not soldiers, but spies sent by Cao Cao, and each of them was an existence that had passed the test of loyalty.

They stayed for only one purpose, and that was to be taken prisoner and prove that Cao Cao was in front of them. In fact, it was not Cao Cao who was fighting at this moment, but Cao Ren, the general under Cao Cao.

But so what? Cao Cao just bullied Ma Chao and didn't know him, if it was other generals, I was afraid that this trick might not work.

At this moment, Ma Chao is young and vigorous, and there are captives to testify, where will he let go of 'Cao Cao'? So he couldn't wait to launch a charge, and even Pang De and Ma Dai were killed with the army.

The three of them released their nirvana skills together, and the scene was really powerful, but Yue Xi and Cao Ren were also congenital generals, and the two of them immediately used their nirvana skills to bombard, but they were not left behind. However, the soldiers under his command were scolded, and as long as they were close to these five people, few of them could survive.

After three rounds of battle this time, I saw 'Cao Cao' shouting violently: "The enemy army is powerful, retreat!" ”

The army quickly turned around and retreated, without hesitation at all, running so fast, and it was not uncommon to lose armor and abandon it. Seeing Cao Jun fleeing in embarrassment, Ma Chao and the three of them were also a little anxious, wouldn't it be a pity to let Cao Cao escape like this? In particular, they captured some other Cao Jun prisoners, and after it was confirmed that it was indeed Cao Cao himself, they suddenly became even more anxious!

The army quickly pursued, and in the winding and rugged mountain road, it quickly divided into three units: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army. Among them, the former army was dominated by Ma Jun, and Ma Chao was responsible for commanding; The Chinese army was dominated by infantry, led by Pound; The rear army was dominated by baggage troops, led by Ma Dai.

Before you know it, it is already dark, and the reeds on the ground are swaying in the wind, as if thousands of hands are swaying in the wind to beckon.

'Cao Cao' seemed to be exhausted at the moment, and his speed was getting slower and slower, Ma Chao couldn't wait, and urged the war horse to quickly chase after him. In his opinion, Cao Cao will definitely die this time!

But they didn't want to, a large number of rolling stones suddenly fell from the hillside, falling directly towards them. Ma Chao quickly reined in his horses, but more than 200 cavalrymen were stoned to death by these falling rocks.

The worst thing is that there are also rockfalls in the rear, which forcibly divides the whole team into three sections!

"Quick, move those falling rocks!" Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others quickly ordered the soldiers to move away from the falling rocks, and at this moment, even fools knew that they had fallen into the enemy's tricks.

The soldiers had just come to the falling rocks and were about to move away, but they didn't want to smell a pungent smell, and they hadn't figured out what it was, but they didn't want the soldiers on both sides to shoot rockets at the falling rocks.

The rocket fell on the falling rocks and ignited instantly, and it turned out that Cao Jun had already mixed fierce fire oil on these falling rocks. At the same time, on the hillside next to the former army, there were a large number of Cao troops throwing grenades down the mountain, and the explosion of these grenades frightened those war horses into jumping wildly, and there was no way to control them.

At this time, where Ma Chao's rear army was, Xu Chu slammed down from the hillside and rushed directly into the rear army. Ma Dai quickly met the battle, but the soldiers of the baggage troops under his command were indeed not as good as the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion in the last two. This is Cao Cao's personal guard battalion, but for the sake of this victory, he also sent it.

The Tiger Guard Battalion quickly killed Ma Chao's soldiers, and then set fire to the baggage. Ma Dai wanted to cry without tears, even if he wanted to stop them at this moment, he couldn't do it, he was blocked by Xu Chu, and if he wasn't careful, he might die on the spot.

Juzhong had already run away from Yue Xi, who had set up an ambush in the middle, and when he saw that the fire was also beginning to appear in the rear, he quickly killed him, and he killed the Chinese army where Pang De was. Fortunately, there were less than 3,000 of them, and Pound could still calmly cope with the battle.

The flames further expanded, igniting all the reeds, and those reeds swaggering in the wind really became the hands of death.

"Cao Cao, you deceive people too much!" Ma Chao was caught in the flames, but instead he calmed down, mobilized his true qi to the maximum, and slammed out towards the falling rocks in front of him.

At that moment, the sand and rocks flew away, and those falling rocks were directly blasted out by him, revealing a passage.

"Kill me out!" Ma Chao shouted and quickly killed. Seeing this, the soldiers behind immediately stabilized their position and followed Ma Chao to kill them.

Pang De finally repelled Yue Xi at this moment, and immediately went back to rescue Ma Dai. The two of them desperately went to the rescue, and finally saved about forty percent of the grain and grass, even so, the army was too much of a loss.

The 30,000-strong army lost more than 15,000 in this battle, most of whom were burned and lost their combat effectiveness. Now there are only two ways left for Ma Chao, one is to wait for reinforcements, and the other is to continue to attack south.

Originally, he planned to choose the former, but he didn't want to be at the exit of Bowangpo, but he saw a wooden sign with the book: Victory or defeat is not scored, Xinye will fight a decisive battle! Guts and rats, dare to fight?

"The whole army will rest for half a day, and follow me south to kill the thieves!" Ma Chao immediately announced his attack, and he was really angry at this moment. (To be continued.) )

PS: The fire burned Bowangpo, but the burned and the burned ones were completely different.
