Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 311 Bai Mo slipped away again

The night was like ink, and Bai Mo was pacing back and forth on the cliff.

Looking up, the starry sky is like washing away, the whole sky looks extraordinarily clear and peaceful, extraordinarily lofty, however, Bai Mo's heart seems to have fallen into a giant, which is so heavy that it is about to suffocate him.

The fall of Nanzheng and the fall of Hanzhong have become a foregone conclusion.

Now, the difficult problem before Bai Mo is, how to get out of Jiange?

In the front, there are tens of thousands of Chu troops from Xiangzhuang, and in the rear, Nanzheng has fallen, and the Han army has been attacked by the enemy. It is not easy to retreat from the sword pavilion.

Not far away, Li Bu and a dozen small correctors stood with their swords.

Seeing that Bai Mo didn't make a sound for a while, Li Bu couldn't help but said, "President Zuo, withdraw your troops!"

"Withdraw troops?" retorted a military commander of the Ministry of Defense, "You Hanzhong soldiers are guarding the Jiange Fortress, and you can retreat at any time if you want to retreat, but we have more than 2000 soldiers guarding on the cliff. How can we retreat?"

"How to retreat?" Li Bu said coldly, "Light the torches, go down the cliff first and then retreat!"

"Light a torch?" Jun Sima said, "Didn't this tell Chu Jun clearly that we want to run?"

Another army Sima said: "That is, in case the Chu army takes the opportunity to crush them, we will leave you behind?"

Li Bu was dumbfounded. After asking his more than 2000 soldiers from Hanzhong County to stop, he really didn't have the confidence to stop the Chu army. However, Li Bu was really unwilling to stay here and wait to die, so he said immediately: "Then what do you think?"

The two military commanders were also speechless, and they didn't know what to do.

With the sound of light footsteps, Bai Mo walked up to the cliff tens of feet high again. The cold night wind blew and gently swayed the sleeves and skirts of his body. An army commander hurried forward to protect him. Standing beside Bai Mo, he persuaded Bai Mo, "Master Zuo, it seems that the wind is about to blow, why don't you go back to the camp?"

Bai Mo thoughtfully said: "Is it windy?"

While speaking, Bai Mo looked up at the starry sky again.

The next moment, Bai Mo's expression was suddenly startled, as if he had discovered something that surprised him.

Li Bu and more than a dozen small schools also obviously noticed Bai Mo's strange expression. They raised their heads one by one and looked at the starry sky above them. However, they didn't find anything abnormal. The moon was still the same moon, and the stars were still those stars. , The vast galaxy still stretches across the night sky, and it has not disappeared.

Bai Mo looked down at the ground again, and then suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...."

Li Bu and a dozen or so small principals looked at each other, the Han army was at the end of their rope, Prime Minister Zuo was still in the mood to laugh?
Bai Mo didn't realize it, he just laughed. Li Bu scratched his head and couldn't help asking, "Why is Prime Minister Zuo laughing?"

"God's will, this is God's will!" Bai Mo raised his right hand, pointed his index finger at the starry sky, and laughed loudly, "The sky will not kill me, the sky will not kill me, Bai Mo, hahahaha..."

Li Bu's expression changed, and he said, "Master Zuo has thought of a countermeasure?"

"Yes." Bai Mo nodded and said, "Whether our army can retreat from the Jiange completely depends on this celestial phenomenon!"

"Celestial phenomenon?" Li Bu and a dozen of the small school looked up at the starry sky again, but of course they still didn't find anything.

Bai Mo was in a good mood, pointing to the slightly blurred moon in the sky and said, "Don't you think the moon is different tonight?"

"The moon?" Li Bu said, "It seems to be darker and bigger than the previous few days. By the way, the moon is still dizzy tonight."

"That's right, the moon is dizzy tonight!" After saying this, Bai Mo said again, "The moon halo is as big as a car cover, and the wind is cool and the dew is heavy. The main fog, tomorrow morning, Jiange will be foggy, heavy fog Together, we can retreat calmly, even if the Chu army knows, they will never dare to rush into the fog to pursue, hehe."

"Big fog?" Li Bu couldn't believe it, "Will it really be foggy tomorrow morning?"

The rest of the dozen or so small schools of the Han army are also skeptical, isn't this amazing?

Bai Mo smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, go back and prepare separately. When tomorrow comes, we will retreat in the fog!"

"Here!" Li Bu and a dozen junior high school students responded loudly, and went to take the order. Although they didn't really believe it, since Bai Mo had issued the military order, they naturally had to follow it.

In the camp of the Chu army, Xiangzhuang set up accounts.

Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian were having a drink according to the case. From time to time, both of them would look up outside the tent. Obviously, their minds were not on drinking, they were all waiting for news.

In the color of the night, the message transmission has been changed to once every half an hour.

Amidst the hurried footsteps, Pang Yu had already entered the account proudly, bowed his hands to Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian and said, "Your Majesty, military advisor, there is still no movement from the Han army on the cliff."

"There is still no movement?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "This Bai Mo, is he really going to defend the Jiange to the death?"

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said: "It's not in the interests of the Han army to guard the Jiange to the death. If the minister is Bai Mo, he will try his best to retreat from the Jiange and then strangle Chen Cangdao. As long as the Han army can hold it Chen Cangdao and Ziwu Gukou, even if our army takes Hanzhong, I'm afraid it will be a burden."

Xiang Zhuang suddenly said: "Zi'ang, is the secret sentry properly deployed? Don't let the Han army sneak away in the dark!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Pang Yu bowed, and replied loudly, "The secret whistle of the minister has almost deceived the Han army. As long as the Han army on the cliff has a little trouble, it is absolutely impossible to hide from the eyeliner of the minister."

"That's weird." Xiang Zhuang frowned, "What the hell is this Bai Mo doing?"

Bailixian said: "My lord, it seems that the Han army will not withdraw tonight, why don't you sleep first."

"Alright, I'll thank you, Ziliang, and help me keep an eye on it." Xiang Zhuang was indeed a little sleepy, and immediately fell asleep.

This sleep lasted for one night, until the eastern sky was already pale, Xiang Zhuang suddenly woke up from the dream, turned over and sat up, and asked Baili Xian who was reading under the lamp: "Zi Liang, what time is it?"

Bai Lixian put down the book of war and replied: "Your Majesty, Yin time has passed, and it will be dawn soon."

As soon as the words fell, Pang Yu suddenly stepped into the tent, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, military advisor, it's not good!"

Xiang Zhuang's heart skipped a beat, and he said anxiously, "What's wrong with Zi Ang? Did the Han army sneak away at night?"

Pang Yu shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "At least until now, the Han army has still not moved, but after a while, it will be difficult to say, because it is already foggy outside!"

"Hmm, fog?" Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

If it was foggy a few days ago, Xiangzhuang and Bailixian would definitely be overjoyed, because when the fog came together, the Chu army could take advantage of the fog to approach Jiange and launch a surprise attack. But the fog now is not good news for the Chu army, but it is a great thing for the Han army.

Because the Han army could retreat in the fog, the Chu army didn't even dare to chase them down!

"Go, take a look!" Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian looked at each other, and hurried out of the tent.

Outside the tent, the fog was already very thick, so thick that people could not be seen clearly a few steps away!

"It's broken." Xiang Zhuang sighed, "It's broken, it's broken, it's broken! The Han army is going to slip!"

Pang Yu said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead two thousand elite soldiers to pursue them deep into the fog, and never let the Han army escape."

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said nothing, how could he chase after such a thick fog?Bai Mo has always been cautious in using troops. Even if he retreats from the Jiange, he will probably leave an ambush halfway.If that was the case, the Han army would have no idea where they had gone, so why should they be chasing them?

But what if he throws away the giant scull, pursues lightly, and is ambushed again?
With such a heavy fog, if the terrain is unfavorable and the Han army is ambushed suddenly, the Chu army will definitely suffer heavy casualties!Seeing that Hanzhong is about to be acquired, Xiang Zhuang is not willing to sacrifice the veterans of all battles under his command in vain.

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there may be a turn for the better."

After this pause, Bai Lixian said again: "Although this thick fog is thick, it will disperse soon as soon as the sun rises. I estimate that it will last for about an hour at most, but the Han army may not know that this morning There will be heavy fog, and I am afraid that I am not prepared, and it is almost impossible for them to complete the assembly, equipment shipment, and troops to descend the cliff within an hour."

Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the words, that's right, withdrawing troops is not a rout, you just need to spread your legs and run away, but withdrawing troops does not mean that you can retreat just by retreating.

The retreat of an army must be carefully prepared, which involves the issuance of military orders, the formation of troops and the shipment of equipment, and the thousands of Han troops on the cliff have to try to get down the cliff. All these will take time, so, unless The Han army had already made preparations, otherwise, they would never have withdrawn from the Jiange within an hour.

So, is it possible that the Han army is ready to retreat?Xiang Zhuang thought it was impossible.

Giving an order for no reason to prepare the whole army to retreat will shake the morale of the army. Unless Bai Mo can predict that there will be fog this morning, otherwise, if there is no fog in the morning, if the Chu army launches a fierce attack on Jiange again, Han When the army's morale is shaken, it is very likely that it will collapse at the touch of a finger.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang turned his head and ordered: "Zi Ang, go and pick two thousand Sirius warriors, have a full meal, and wait for the fog to clear before storming the Jiange. This time, I will kill Bai Mo without leaving any armor behind!"

"Here!" Pang Yu responded abruptly, turned around and walked away.

Bai Lixian's estimate was very accurate. After an hour, the fog became much thinner.

However, when Pang Yu led the two thousand Sirius guards who were full of wine and food to the giant scull and shouted loudly, and stepped up to the Jiange Fortress step by step, he found that the entire fortress was empty!

After receiving the urgent report, Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian hurried to Jiange.

"The Han army completed the withdrawal within an hour?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe it, "How is this possible?"

"Could it be that the Han army has already made preparations to withdraw their troops?" Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, startled by his own judgment, and said in an inexplicable tone, "That is to say, Bai Mo not only uses soldiers like a god, but also Knowing astronomy and geography, he knew that there would be heavy fog in Jiange this morning?!"

PS: To say a few words of nonsense, I went to my new home to receive furniture yesterday. The reason why the update has been unstable recently is that there were too many things at home a while ago, one is that the writing environment in my hometown is really not ideal, and the other is the new house. The renovation is troublesome, but the new house is about to be renovated, and you can move into your own home immediately. When you live in your own home, the writing environment will be greatly improved, and future updates should be stable.

The update during this period of time is indeed horrible, and I sincerely apologize to everyone.
