"The other army must break through Zitong as soon as possible to end the war. Otherwise, once your reinforcements arrive, it will undoubtedly be difficult to break through Zitong."

As Huang Quan said, his complexion suddenly changed, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had suddenly noticed something, and asked Meng You anxiously.

"General Meng, do you have any information about reinforcements from your army?"

When Meng You heard this, seeing Huang Quan was so anxious, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly replied.

"Last night, I just received information from Dong Cha's Cave Master that our reinforcements have arrived at the Zitong area, and we will probably arrive at the city of Zitong tomorrow."

"Can you tell me the route of its march and I know it!?"

When Huang Quan heard this, his face changed again, and he asked Meng You again hastily.Meng You was quite hesitant, the route of the march was of great importance, Huang Quan was an outsider after all, if he had any evil intentions, he would regret it too late.Huang Quan saw that Meng You's face was troubled, and he knew what he was thinking, so he hurriedly bowed and said.

"General Meng doesn't know what Huang is like. What's more, if my master intends to do harm, how can he send me and General Ma to help. This matter is extremely important, and I hope General Meng will not be suspicious!!"

Meng You's face changed for a while, and he stared at Huang Quan firmly. Seeing his calm expression, he gritted his teeth suddenly, and finally told Dong Chana's marching route.Huang Quan listened carefully, and when he heard that Dong Cha was going to take the wolf needle forest, his complexion changed drastically, and he cried out in surprise.

"Not good! The forest of wolf needles is full of dense trees and weeds. In addition, it is early summer and the weather is extremely dry. If the other army lays an ambush there and sets fire to it, your reinforcements will definitely be wiped out. Keep it as soon as possible!!!”

Huang Quan exclaimed, and Meng You was so frightened that he flew away like a ghost. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked sharply.

"This matter, Mr. Huang is sure!!?"

"Northwest thieves, they are so weird all day long, they must be deliberately diverting our attention. From what I can see, there are ten people in the northwest, and they have already set up an ambush in Wolf Needle Forest!!"

When Meng You heard this, he quickly called Huang Quan to go with him to report to Meng Huo.Huang Quan suppressed his panic, and rushed out of the mansion with Meng You to the county office in the city to see Meng Huo.

After a while, Meng You and Huang Quan rushed to the county government office in a hurry. At this time, Meng Huo, Ma Chao and a group of barbarians were drinking and having fun. What everyone was talking about was almost all the fierce battle 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 Huo what Huang Quan expected.

Besides, after Dong Chana rushed back to the Nanman, he quickly mobilized his troops and gathered another [-] barbarian soldiers, hoping that Zitong would come quickly. () Nearly one month later, Dong Chana led [-] reinforcements, had entered Zitong Realm, was heading towards Zitong City, and rushed to a dense forest.

All I saw was a pitch-black dense forest with intertwined trees, and the sound of howling wolves could be heard from time to time.However, the [-] barbarians listened without any fear.The people of the southern barbarians are tough and tough, and most of them live by hunting and often fight with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Naturally, they are not afraid of these vicious wolves.The guide was a Han Chinese. Hearing the roar of the wolf, his face paled in fright, and he hurriedly spoke to Dong Chana.

"General, in front of this is the Wolf Needle Forest. There are countless vicious wolves in this forest. They often attack people in groups. Each group has dozens of wolves, and hundreds of wolves. The government has sent troops to fight against them several times. , but was injured a lot by these wolves, and finally the wolf needle forest was listed as a forbidden area. In my opinion, the general still took a detour. There is a small road ten miles to the southeast, which can lead to Zitong City. It will only take a little more time."

When Dong Cha heard it, he grinned, and the barbarians behind him also laughed.Each uses the language of the southern barbarians to make fun of the Han guide officer as a coward.After a burst of laughter, Dong Cha said with a cold face to the Han guide.

"Hmph! What fear are there for mere wolves!? The people of the Southern Barbarians have fought and killed evil beasts since they were young. They have also killed many fierce tigers and bears. Many of them are even more proficient in the way of repelling beasts!! If these If the wolf really dared to attack, it’s just right, I’m waiting for a full meal!! What’s more, the military situation in Zitong City is urgent, so there’s no time to delay!!”

After Dong Cha finished drinking, he urged the army to go without waiting for the guide officer to answer.Tens of thousands of barbarians immediately swarmed into the forest of wolf needles.In the dense forest, people's heads surged, densely packed with human figures.Dong Cha moved forward all the way, his evil eyes were shining with faint light, and he was holding the heavy hammer tightly in one hand, as if he was very much looking forward to the attack of wolves.

Half an hour later, the barbarian army had walked more than half of the distance, but still did not see any wolves attacking.The Han guide officer felt strange, so he hurriedly drove his horse towards Dong Cha and said in a loud voice.

"Wait a minute, general! Something is wrong!!"

When Dong Cha heard this, he reined in the horse suddenly, turned around with a sullen expression, and asked in a cold voice.

"What's so strange!?"

"There are at least thousands of wolves in this forest. Anyone who smells people will rush to attack madly. Now our army has entered this dense forest halfway, but there is no movement. This is really weird, the general must be careful !!"

The Han guide hurriedly said, but Dong Chana laughed loudly when he heard the words.

"Hahahahahaha!! The so-called one thing is one thing. I wait for the heroes of the Southern Barbarians to hunt food for a living, but these beasts know that I am good at waiting, so they avoid it!!!"

Just as Dong Cha finished speaking, suddenly, two cannons rang out.In the distance on both sides of the dense forest, the flames were shining brightly. At first glance, thousands of fires were flickering on each side.Suddenly, countless bowstrings exploded, and the fire leaped and fell.Immediately, the sulfur flame nitrate hidden in the weeds of the dense forest ignited pieces of flames.In an instant, the fire raged and spread rapidly, and the entire dense forest was illuminated by the fire as if it were daytime.Dong Cha's astonished and frightened face was clearly illuminated by the fire, he suddenly came to his senses, and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat.With Dong Cha's sound, the barbarian soldiers rushed forward, and the fire on both sides continued to spread, and soon burned the surrounding area into a sea of ​​flames.The barbarians trampled on each other, pushed and hugged each other, and countless people died.Many barbarians rushed into the fire in a panic and were killed without bones.Pieces of miserable screams continued to sound like hell on earth.As the fire became more and more fierce, Dong Cha didn't care about commanding the soldiers and horses, and led a group of his confidantes to follow the horse, and charged in flames. As soon as he rushed out of the forest entrance, a loud noise shouted from the side, and Wei Yan led the army to the scuffle. The defeated army Everyone flees for their lives, who is willing to turn around and fight.While Dong Cha was running in a hurry, Wei Yan rushed out suddenly, his ferocious tiger face was clearly illuminated by the red fire.Wei Yanyuan stared at the tiger, raised his eyebrows, and stabbed Dong Chana obliquely, and slashed at Dong Chana's neck with the knife in his hand.Dong Cha was caught off guard, and before he could raise his sledgehammer, Wei Yan's dragon dragon sword slashed at him, and a bloody head flew into the sky, causing a rain of blood.Drenched in blood, Wei Yan reined in his horse and slashed left and right with his big knife. After charging for a while, he suddenly looked up and caught Dong Chana's head with one hand.The barbarian soldiers saw that the bloody head in Wei Yan's hand was the commander of the army, and they were scared out of their wits and fled in embarrassment.Wei Yan led the army to fight, and ordered the soldiers to force the barbarians back into the dense forest. The Northwest Army, armed with long spears, lined up like a row of reeds, pressing on from all directions.The barbarians fought hastily, and most of them were killed. After being resisted, they all retreated into the dense forest.

The flames flew up in the sky, and most of the entire wolf needle forest was swallowed by the flames. I don't know how many barbarians were in the sea of ​​flames.Even those who managed to escape the fire, as soon as they left the forest entrance, they were greeted by countless forest guns. More and more corpses were piled up in front of the forest entrance.Wei Yan led the army to kill at Linkou, leading a group of niu ghosts and snake gods like the black and white impermanence who seems to be slaying his life in the underworld.

And just two hours ago, in Zitong City.Meng Huo's face was livid, and he shouted desperately.

"How should this be done!!? If the Northwest thieves really set up an ambush in Wolf Needle Forest, with our army's strength, even if we go to the rescue, it will be of no avail!! What's more, Wen Bufan is so cunning, how could he be unprepared! !"

Meng Huo was so anxious that his whole body was on fire, Huang Quan's expression froze, and he spoke harshly to Meng Huo.

"In my opinion, we should dispatch an elite army as soon as possible, led by General Ma. If you encounter obstacles, you don't have to fight hard, just break through. With the bravery of General Ma, this matter is not difficult. General Ma breaks through Afterwards, they rushed to Langzheng Forest to stop Dong Chana's cave master's reinforcements, and told him about the plan of the Northwest bandits, so that they would be free from worries."

Huang Quan was very calm. When Meng Huo heard this, he quickly turned to Ma Chao.Ma Chao got up and bowed, his lion's eyes twinkled, and he said in a concentrated voice.

"For me, this matter is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. Don't worry too much, the king, Chao will surely live up to his fate."

Meng Huo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered Ma Chao to send troops to march quickly.Before Ma Chao left, he spoke to Meng Huo again.

"I'm afraid that Cave Master Dong Chana doesn't know me well, so I invite General Meng You to go with me."

Meng Huo heard that it was reasonable, so he ordered Meng You to go with him.Meng You took the order, so he went out with Ma Chao, ordered the soldiers and horses, and went to the forest of wolf needles.The situation was urgent, and the two dared not neglect, and urged the army to move quickly.As soon as he arrived at a valley entrance, Meng You reined in his horse suddenly and talked to Ma Chao.

"General Ma's terrain is steep, and there are many soldiers and horses passing by around, so it is advisable to prevent an ambush."

Hearing Ma Chao's words, he frowned, knowing that the Northwest Army has many highly resourceful people, and he dared not make mistakes, so he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to act cautiously.A group of soldiers obeyed the order and advanced slowly with trepidation. It took a long time to cross the valley, but there was no ambush.Seeing this, Ma Chao hurriedly urged the army to move quickly, and hurried all the way.After a while, Meng You reined in his horse and stopped, pointing to the soil slope in front of him, and said to Ma Chao.

"In the slope in front of General Ma, there is a shadow of a flag and a figure. I am afraid that there will be an ambush, so it is better to go around the road!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he galloped his horse forward and saw many figures with banners around the slope. He was startled, and hurried back to the formation to ask the guide.

"If it takes a detour, how long will it take!?"

The guide listened to the words and hurriedly reported to Ma Chao.

"General, if you want to take a detour, you can take the mountain forest ten miles to the southeast, but the terrain there is steep and the road is bumpy, and it will take at least half a day. By the time you arrive at Wolf Needle Forest, I'm afraid it will be dawn."

Hearing this, Ma Chao's expression changed immediately, and he shouted in a concentrated voice.

"Now if our army is in urgent need, how could it take so much time. The whole army obeys orders and prepares for battle!!"

As soon as Ma Chao shouted, Meng You also knew that the matter was urgent, so he did not persuade him any more, and followed Ma Chao to command the troops to march forward.Ma Chaojun walked slowly, and when he saw that he was about to arrive at the slope, all the soldiers were ready to fight.But the strange thing is that there is no movement on the slope.Ma Chao squinted the lion's eyes, suddenly his expression changed, he patted the horse, and galloped up the hillside, but he saw that the people everywhere were straw people.Ma Chao was so angry that he knew that he had played a trick, and was delayed for a long time, so he hurried back to the formation and urged the army to advance quickly.When Ma Chao rushed to more than ten miles away from Wolf Needle Forest, there was a sudden loud noise, and Zhang Tianyan flames surged in the distance, and bursts of shouts and killings burst out one after another.When Meng You heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he cried out miserably.

"Not good!! Our reinforcements are in danger!!!"

Looking at the flames that were higher than the other, the distant area turned into a raging sea of ​​flames, and the red flames shone as brightly as day.Ma Chao's complexion turned extremely dark in an instant, thinking that it was hard to save now, as soon as he reined in the horse, he ordered the soldiers to retreat to the city.Seeing this, Meng You hurriedly asked.

"What does General Ma mean by this!!?"
