Chapter 999 Expulsion of Barbarians
"The other army will want to break through Zitong as soon as possible and end the war. Otherwise, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky when your reinforcements come and then break through Zitong.
As Huang Quan said, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes widened, as if he suddenly noticed something and asked Meng You anxiously.
"General Meng, can you get any information about your reinforcements?"
When Meng You heard this, he saw that Huang Quan was so anxious that he did not dare to neglect him and quickly replied.
"Last night, I just received information from the owner of Dong Cha's cave. Our military reinforcements have arrived at the realm of Zitong, and we will probably rush to Zitong City tomorrow."
"Can you tell him the marching path and I know it!"
Hearing this, Huang Quan's face changed again, and he asked Meng You in a hurry. Meng You was quite hesitant. This marching path is of great importance. After all, Huang Quan is an outsider. If he has any evil intentions, it is too late to regret. Seeing that Meng You's face was pale, Huang Quan knew what he was thinking and hurriedly bowed.
"What kind of person Huang is, how can General Meng not know? What's more, if my Lord has the intention of causing harm, how can he send me and General Ma to help? This matter is extremely important, and I hope General Meng will not be more suspicious!!"
Meng You's face changed for a while. He stared at Huang Quan. Seeing that his eyes were calm, he suddenly gritted his teeth, and finally said Dong Cha's marching path. Huang Quan listened carefully and heard that Dong Cha would take the wolf needle and walk away. Suddenly, his face suddenly changed and he lost his voice and exclaimed.
"It's not good! The wolf needle forest is dense with trees and overgrown with weeds. In addition, it is now the early summer season, and the weather is extremely dry. If the other army sets an ambush there and sets fire to it, your reinforcements will completely destroyed, and none of them will survive!!!
Huang Quan exclaimed, which scared Meng You as if his soul flew away. He came to his senses and quickly asked fiercely.
"Is Huang Gong sure about this!!?"
"The northwest thief, who has been so weird for days, must deliberately divert our attention. As far as I can see, there are nine out of ten in the northwest. At this time, there has been an ambush under the wolf needle forest!!"
Hearing this, Meng You quickly called Huang Quan to report to Meng Huo with him. Huang Quan suppressed his panic, so he ran out of the house with Meng You and rushed to the county government office in the city to see Meng Huo.
In a short time, Meng You and Huang Quan rushed to the county government. At this time, Meng Huo and Ma Chao also had a group of barbarian generals drinking and having fun. Almost all the people talked about were the fierce battles between Ma Chao and Zhao Yun in the past few days. Seeing this, Huang Quan shook his head and sighed. Meng You rushed into the banquet and told Meng what Huang Quan expected.
Besides, after Dong Cha returned to Nanman, he quickly transferred troops and horses for days, gathered another 20,000 barbarians, hoping that Zitong would come quickly. Nearly a month ago, at this time, Dong Cha, with 20,000 reinforcements, had entered the realm of Zitong and was going to Zitong City, and now he rushed to a dense forest.
I saw a dark piece of wood in the dense forest, mixed trees, and a few wolf roars from time to time. However, the 20,000 barbarians heard it, but they were not afraid. The southern barbarians have strong folk customs. Most of them make a living by hunting. They often fight with evil beasts in the mountains and forests. Naturally, they are not afraid of these evil wolves. The guide was a Han man. Hearing the roar of the wolf, his face was as pale as earth, and he said to Dong Cha anxiously.
"General, in front of this is the wolf needle forest. There are countless evil wolves in this forest, often in groups of attacking people. Each group has dozens of animals, and there are hundreds of more. The government sent troops to fight several times, but they were injured a lot by these wolves. In the end, the wolf needle forest was listed as a forbidden place. In my opinion, the general still took a detour. There is a path ten miles southeast, which can lead to Zitong City, which only takes a little time.
When Dong Cha heard this, he grinned, and the generals behind him also laughed one after another. Each uses the words of Nanman to make fun of this Han guide who is a dareless rat. After a burst of laughter, Dong Cha's cold face said angrily with the Han guide.
"Huh! What are the fears of the wolves!? I, the southern barbarians, have fought with evil beasts since childhood, and tigers and giant bears have also killed a lot. Many of them are more proficient in the way of exorcising beasts!! If these wolves really dare to attack, it's just right, I'll have a full meal!! What's more, the military situation in Zitong City is urgent now. How can there be time to delay!!"
After Dong Cha finished drinking, he urged the army to go without waiting for the guide to answer. Tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers immediately rushed into the wolf needle forest. In the dense forest, people's heads are surging, and the dense shadows are all human figures. Dong Cha moved forward all the way, with bursts of faint light, and the hammer was tightly grasped in one hand, as if he was looking forward to the attack of the wolves.
Half an hour later, the barbarian army walked most of the way, but there was still no wolf attack. The Han guide felt strange and hurriedly ran to Dong Cha's voice.
"General, wait!! There's something wrong!!"
Hearing this, Dong Cha suddenly strangled the horse, looked at it with a calm face, and asked coldly.
"What's wrong!?"
"There are at least thousands of wolves in this forest, but if they smell people, they will come to attack crazily. Now our army has entered the dense forest halfway, but there is no movement. This is really weird, and the general can't be guarded!!"
The Han guide said in a hurry, but Dong Cha laughed loudly when he heard the words.
"Hahahahaha!! The so-called one thing drops one thing. We wait for the southern barbarian heroes, who have been hunting for food for a living since childhood, but these beasts know that we are powerful, so they can't avoid it!!!"
As soon as Dong Cha's voice fell, suddenly, two cannons sounded. In the distance on both sides of the dense forest, the fire was bright. At first glance, there were thousands of lights flashing. Suddenly, countless bowstrings burst out, and the firelight leaped and fell over. Suddenly, the sulfur flames hidden in the weeds in the dense forest ignited pieces of flames. In an instant, the fire raged and spread rapidly, and the whole dense forest was illuminated like daylight. Dong Cha's surprised and frightening face was particularly clear by the fire. He suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. Dong Cha shouted, and the barbarian rushed forward. The fire on both sides continued to spread, and soon burned around into a sea of fire. The barbarians trampled on each other and hugged each other, and countless people died. Many barbarians panicked into the fire and were killed without bones. Pieces of sad screams kept ringing, like hell on earth. As the fire became more and more fierce, Dong Cha couldn't care about commanding the soldiers and horses. He led a confidant to ride and rush into anger. As soon as he rushed out of the forest, there was a violent shout on the side. Wei Yan led the army to come to the melee, and the defeated army fled for their lives. Who would turn around and fight? While Dong Cha was running away in a hurry, Wei Yan suddenly rushed out of the road, and a ferocious tiger face was illuminated very clearly by the red fire. Wei Yanyuan stared at the tiger's eyes, raised his eyebrows straight, and intercepted Dong Cha in the oblique thorn. He cut his hand and cut his neck. Dong Cha was caught off guard and had time to raise the sledgehammer in his hand. Wei Yan's dragon knife suddenly cut it, and a knife flew by. A blood Linlin's head flew to the sky, bringing a burst of blood rain. Wei Yan was drenched in a bloody rain, turned his horse, cut left and right with a big knife, and rushed for a while. Suddenly, he looked at it with one hand and just caught Dong Cha's head. The barbarian saw that the head of the blood Linlin in Wei Yan's hand was the general of the army. He was so scared that he fled in embarrassment. Wei Yan led the army to fight and ordered the soldiers to force the barbarian soldiers back into the dense forest. The Northwest Army held a long gun, lined up like a reed column, pressing in all directions. The barbarians fought in a hurry and were killed most of them. Soon after, they were resisted and retreated to the dense forest one after another.
The fire rose from the sky, and most of the whole wolf needle forest was swallowed up by the fire. I don't know how many barbarians are really in the sea of fire. Even if he can escape from the fire, as soon as he comes out of the forest, there are countless guns. There are more and more corpses piled up in front of the forest mouth, and the corpses overlap, like small dirt slopes, which is so bloody that people shudder. Wei Yan led the army to kill in the forest, like the black and white impermanence of the underworld, leading a group of niu ghosts, snakes and gods.
And just two hours ago, in Zitong City. Meng Huo's face was pale and he shouted exhaustingly.
"What should I do about this!!? If the thieves in the northwest really set up an ambush in the wolf needle forest, with the strength of our army, even if we go to rescue, it will not help!! What's more, Wen Fan is so cunning, how can he be unprepared!!"
Meng Huo was so anxious that he was burning all over his body. Huang Quan's expression condensed, and he spoke harshly to Meng Huo.
"In my opinion, we should quickly send an elite soldier, led by General Ma. If you encounter obstacles, you don't have to fight hard with it, and you can break through. With the bravery of General Ma, this matter is not difficult. After General Ma broke through, he rushed to the wolf needle forest, stopped Dong Cha's reinforcements of the cave owner, and told him the northwest thief's plan. In this way, he could be worry-free.
Huang Quan was very calm. Hearing this, Meng Huo quickly turned to Ma Chao. Ma Chao got up and bowed, and the lion's eyes were shining, and he said in a condensed voice.
"This matter is as easy as it is for me. The king doesn't have to worry too much. He is bound to bear his life.
Meng Huo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and now he ordered Ma Chao to dispatch troops to go quickly. Before Ma Chao left, he said to Meng Huo.
"I'm afraid that the owner of Dongcha Cave is not familiar with me, so I also asked General Meng You to go with me."
Meng Huo heard that it was reasonable, so he ordered Meng You to walk with him. Meng You took the order, so he came out with Ma Chao, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and looked at the wolf needle forest. The situation was so urgent that the two did not dare to neglect and urged the army to go quickly. As soon as he arrived at a Gukou, Meng You suddenly stopped and said to Ma Chao.
"General Ma's terrain here is steep, and there are many soldiers and horses around, so it is appropriate to ambush."
Ma Chao listened and frowned. He knew that there were many intelligent people in the Northwest Army who dared not make bad. At present, he ordered the soldiers and horses to act cautiously. A group of soldiers listened to the order and walked in with fear. It took them many hours to cross the valley, but there was no ambush. When Ma Chao saw it, he hurriedly urged the army to go quickly and hurried all the way. After a while, Meng You stopped his horse again, pointing to the dirt slope in front of him, and said to Ma Chao.
"In the slope in front of General Ma, there are faint flags and figures. I'm afraid there will be an ambush. It's better to take a detour!"
As soon as Ma Chao heard this, in front of the horse flew, he saw a lot of flag figures around the dirt slope. He was shocked and hurried back to the array and asked the guide.
"If you take a detour, how many hours will it take!"
The guide listened and hurriedly told Ma Chao.
"General, if you want to take a detour, you can take the mountains and forests ten miles southeast, but the terrain there is steep and the road is bumpy, which will take at least half a day. When I got to the wolf needle forest, I'm afraid it was already dawn.
When Ma Chao heard the words, his face suddenly changed and he shouted in a condensed voice.
"Now if our army has an urgent need, how can it take so much time to consume energy? The whole army obeys the order and prepares for the battle!!"
As soon as Ma Chao shouted, Meng You also knew that the matter was urgent. He did not persuade him more and commanded the troops and horses to march with Ma Chao. Ma Chaojun walked slowly. Seeing that he was about to reach the slope, all the sergeants were ready to fight. But the strange thing is that there is no movement on the slope. Ma Chao squinted at the lion's eyes and looked at it. Suddenly, his face changed. He patted the horse and galloped up the hillside, but he saw people everywhere. Ma Chao was so angry that he knew the trick and delayed for many hours. He hurried back to the front and urged the army to advance quickly. When Ma Chao rushed more than ten miles away from the wolf needle forest, there was a sudden burst of fire, and Zhang Tian flames surged in the distance, and bursts of shouts of killing one after another. When Meng You heard this, his face suddenly changed dramatically and he shouted sadly.
"It's not good!! Our reinforcements are in danger!!!"
Looking at the higher fire, the distance turned into a sea of fierce fire, and the red flames shone as bright as day. Ma Chao's face suddenly turned extremely dark, thinking that it was difficult to save at the moment. As soon as he stopped the horse, he wanted to order the soldiers to withdraw to the city. Meng You saw this and hurriedly asked.
"What does General Ma mean!!?"
