Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 11: A fire breaks out at Bowangpo, Xiahou Dun has mixed feelings

"The general is mighty!"

"That's right, Liu Bei is indeed a piece of shit. Even if he gets help from the Sleeping Dragon, what good can it do? The general personally led the army to charge this time, but he was still frightened and fled in panic, right?"

The next day.

Bowang Slope.

The two armies finally officially clashed!

Xiahou Dun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge.

Seeing that Zhao Yun and a group of Shu army soldiers fought with him for a while, they were defeated and fled.

My confidence immediately increased.

Hearing the compliments from the accompanying soldiers, he could not help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"All officers, listen up! Keep charging!"

"Today, we will make a concerted effort here and now to completely annihilate the main force of this big-eared thief!"

"If this battle is successful, this general will personally ask the Prime Minister for a reward on behalf of all the soldiers!"

Xiahou Dun reined in his horse and whipped it, full of heroic spirit.

"Order!"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who were accompanying him were all very excited when they heard what he said about the big pancake.

The elite cavalry stirred up a long cloud of dust and immediately pursued them.

Seeing this, Xiahou Dun nodded with satisfaction.

It was at this critical moment that he finally thought of something and took the time to ask the geomancer next to him again.

"By the way, what is this place?"

"How far is it to Xinye?"

The Shu army's combat effectiveness was so low.

This gave Xiahou Dun more confidence.

They were no longer just thinking about taking the small town in front of Bowangpo as a bridgehead.

Instead, he wanted to swallow up the entire Xinye in one fell swoop!
The subordinate replied, "General, this is Bowangpo!"

"Bowangpo?"

Xiahou Dun glanced at the gourd-shaped terrain and thought of the reminders given by Xu Chu and others.

"This is really a good place for a fire attack."

He was surprised at first.

Then he laughed and shook his head.

"I really thought too much. How could Wolong use the strategy that Xu Chu had thought of? And it is absolutely impossible for Zhuge Kongming to use fire attack at Bowangpo.

What's more, with the current combat power of his men, there is no need to use fire attack.

Even if Zhuge Liang really had this plan, I'm afraid it would be a waste of time for a skilled cook to cook without rice..."

Xiahou Dun was just about to say that he was worrying too much.

suddenly--

"General! General!——"

There was a cry in my ears.

Xiahou Dun looked up and saw a scout riding a fast horse back to the front.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a panic? Did you catch the general under the big-eared thief?"

Xiahou Dun asked.

The scout fell off his horse and replied in embarrassment.

"General, quickly retreat the army!"

"fire!"

"We've fallen into a trap! Bowangpo is on fire!"

"what?!"

Xiahou Dun was horrified.

When I looked up again, I saw shadows on the hill ahead and a fire had already lit up.

"This is... a fire attack!"

"What's going on, Zhuge Liang? Why did you really use fire attack at Bowangpo?"

"Damn it, those young generals just now, did they deliberately pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy deeper!?"

Xiahou Dun felt that his remaining eye was about to fall to the ground.

There was no time to think too much.

Quickly give orders.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Let the army retreat and evacuate Bowangpo as soon as possible!"

However, at this moment, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry he led had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of Bowangpo, and evacuating would not be as easy as he thought.

The southeast wind rises.

The camp is set on fire!

The fire, fueled by the wind, soon turned the entire Bowangpo into a sea of fire!
Guan Ping and others who had been hiding on both sides, following Zhuge Liang's instructions, immediately stood up and rushed out. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Xiahou Dun were already in chaos due to the fire, so they had no fighting power.

The defeat was immediate.

Even the main general Xiahou Dun had to struggle extremely hard to break out of Bowangpo.

Look back again.

Look at the messy scene.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

It took me a long while to adjust my mood.

He immediately called his subordinates and asked about the battle damage.

The subordinate knelt down and replied, "General, this time we lost more than 300 soldiers, more than 100 horses, and nearly 1,000 injured..."

"Ok?"

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and started scolding.

"idiot!"

"I'm not asking you how much the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lost! I'm asking you how many soldiers and horses our Cao camp lost in the Bowangpo fire. Can't you understand such a simple sentence?"

"No... That's right, General. What I'm reporting this time is the losses at Bowangpo. In this battle between the two armies, we really only lost so many people."

"All losses of soldiers and horses are recorded in the book. If the general does not believe it, he can review it himself."

The subordinate raised the letter in his hand tremblingly.

Without him saying anything, Xiahou Dun already had this idea.

This time he walked forward, snatched it away, and started flipping through it.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked his expression became.

With an incredible look on his face, he murmured again.

"How can this be."

"Is there really nothing wrong with this statistical data? Does that mean that in this Battle of Bowangpo, only the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by me had problems?"

"But how is this possible? What about the subordinate troops? Why didn't they suffer any losses?"

"This...this..."

The subordinate began to stutter when he spoke, as if he was afraid of something and was hesitant.

"Say!"

“Did they lie about the data?”

"You bastard, are you taking advantage of me because I don't know anything about military affairs?!"

"Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?!"

Xiahou Dun glared, and with a swish, he drew out the long sword from his waist.

The sword light is as sharp as water.

See this scene.

The subordinates naturally panicked.

Plop.

He knelt down directly on the ground.

I dared not hold back any more. I started talking, just like pouring out the beans. I told him the truth of the matter in detail.

"General, calm down! It's not that we lied about the military intelligence. When we arrived at Bowangpo, we subconsciously thought of the rumor that had been widely circulated in Xuchang before. We were worried that the big-eared thief and Zhuge Village Man would attack us with fire, so this time we subconsciously slowed down our pace.

It just so happened that the general was launching a massive attack at the time, and he led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to speed up, so... so..."

The subordinate hasn't finished speaking yet.

Xiahou Dun already understood the cause and effect.

"One is fast and the other is slow, which just creates some distance.

So after all this time, only the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by me mistakenly fell into Zhuge Cunfu's ambush?"

"Ahem, this is indeed the case. General, please forgive me for my negligence!"

The confidant knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please forgive me, General!"

All the people accompanying him bowed down together.

It seems that they are all sincerely admitting their mistakes.

But listen to what the people in front of you say.

Xiahou Dun's expression became more embarrassed than ever before.
