"Just stop here, I want to see how they are coming."

Zhang Fei still didn't want to retreat.

Too unwilling to accept it.

Moreover, the terrain of Bowangpo is dangerous and is the best defensive place.

If they lost this place, even if they retreated to Xinye, they might not be able to block the Zhao army's attack.

Lost Bowangpo, not only Xinye, but also Xiangyang behind him, but also faced the Zhao army and had no danger to defend.

Therefore, Zhang Fei was unwilling to retreat.

Although they had only 50,000 people in their hands, Zhang Fei was confident in defending Bowangpo, preventing Zhao's army from moving south.

"Chang Yun, really won't retreat?"

Xu Chu knew that he could not convince Zhang Fei, so he turned to ask Guan Yu.

Guan Yu had also served Cao Cao for three years before, and both of them were imprisoned in Yecheng prison for more than a year, so Xu Chu was more willing to communicate with Guan Yu.

"If the Zhao army does not move, we don't need to retreat in a hurry." Guan Yu said.

"I look at the Zhao army. There is not much food and grass in the army, so they can't afford it." Guan Yu said.

"We were just here to ambush, and there was not much food or food," said Xu Chu. Each of them only brought food for three days in this ambush.

They arrived at Bowangpo yesterday, and it has been a day and a half now.

Tomorrow, they will still go hungry.

On the contrary, even though the Zhao army did not bring much food and grass, they were attacking Xinye after all, and the food and grass that followed the army could support them for at least half a month.

Guan Yu said: "So, I plan to bring 10,000 people back to Xinye first, get the food and supplies before coming here."

Shinno is behind them, they are faster and can return today.

They have a small number of people, and the army is simple to supply.

On the contrary, the Zhao army, with 150,000 people, if they want to replenish supplies, they need to mobilize food and grass from the rear.

Although Nanyang City was easily occupied by the Zhao army, the available materials had long been transferred away by Liu Bei.

All supplies of the 150,000 army led by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei need to be supplied from Yuzhou.

Guan Yu left with 10,000 people first, and they kept the remaining dry food.

After returning to Xinye, Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu had only come back and grabbed Guan Yu. After learning that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to guard Bowangpo, he immediately asked Guan Yu to bring people back.

Bowangpo is dangerous, but Cao Cao did not want to fight with Zhao army again.

"Chang Yunchang, let them retreat immediately." Cao Cao said.

"Cao Gong, the dangerous and narrow border of Bowangpo is a good place to block the Zhao army. Even if the ambush failed, why should we retreat? If the Zhao army had thought about Bowangpo, they would at least have to pay a hundred thousand lives." Guan Yu said.

Guan Yu also knew that Bowangpo would not be able to defend after all, but they could kill tens of thousands of Zhao troops in Bowangpo, so that the Zhao army would be less pressure when attacking Xinye and attacking Xiangyang.

Cao Cao said: "Since the Zhao army knows that you are ambushing in Yinshan, what if the Zhao army attacks with fire?"

Guan Yu was shocked. If it were true that as Cao Cao said, the Cao-Liu coalition forces in the Hidden Mountain would probably not be able to escape.

Cao Cao said: "Even if the enemy does not use fire attack, what should you do if you send someone to defend the water source at the foot of the mountain?"

Bowangpo is a dangerous thing. If the enemy attacks for a strong force, it will inevitably cost a huge price.

But if you choose other methods, the one that will be uncomfortable will be the Cao and Liu coalition forces in Yinshan.

"I see."

Guan Yu immediately realized that he and Zhang Fei were thinking too simple.

Bowangpo is only suitable for ambushing, not for persistence.

"I'll go back to Yinshan now." Guan Yu said.

It was already dusk when he brought his men back to Xinye, but when Guan Yu realized it, he immediately decided to return to Yinshan overnight.

If you send someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince Zhang Fei, and he must go there in person.

It took a long time to come back, but when I got angry, I came to Hidden Mountain, and Guan Yu arrived just before dawn.

The mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and the horse cannot run fast, and it is not as fast as Guan Yu's legs.

As soon as Guan Yu returned to Yinshan, he immediately went to see Zhang Fei and Xu Chu.

Tell Zhang Fei what Cao Cao told him and finished the book.

"Third brother, retreat." Guan Yu said.

"I'm still unwilling to give up." Zhang Fei said: "I'm waiting for a day."

"At most, we must withdraw before dusk today."

Guan Yu came back this time and only brought a few people. Now there are only 40,000 left in the Cao and Liu coalition forces in Yinshan.

Moreover, he did not bring food and grass. Even if Zhang Fei disagreed, he had to go back after finishing the dry food.

It was just one day. Although Cao Cao said it was very serious, even if the Zhao army set fire now, they could still withdraw in time.

"But you have to be careful and send more people to the foot of the mountain to investigate."

They do not intend to stay here for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the water source problem now. They have prepared enough water sources.

What Guan Yu is focusing on now is that the Zhao army set fire to the mountains.

If they only burn one side, they can escape from the other side.

So now we need to investigate whether Zhao Jun has gone to the other side.

To the west is Baihe. Zhao Jun temporarily set up a little raft to reach the south of Yinshan.

Outside Bowangpo, inside the Zhao army's camp.

Dian Wei said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, the ambush in the mountain has not retreated yet. It seems that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are unwilling to let us go. And there was news yesterday that only 10,000 people were withdrawn. It is estimated that these 10,000 people will come today, and even more will come."

"I will now go and wipe out some of them before their reinforcements have arrived."

Dian Wei didn't want to wait.

Even if the Cao and Liu coalition forces set up an ambush in Bowangpo, he would still dare to lead the army to break in.

"You can't be careless. The current commander of the enemy is Guan Zhang and Xu Chu. Although the strength of these three people is not as good as their brothers, there is probably no one in the world who can defeat the three of them," Zhao Yun said.

"I have sent someone to notify the lord, and several military advisors should have a plan to deliver it soon."

"Well." Dian Wei said.

Although he was not afraid of ambushing troops in the mountains, after all, there would be casualties in battle.

Wait for two days and see what strategies can Guo Jia and Jia Xu give, and he can follow the strategies.

Zhao Hui and Guo Jia happened to arrive in Nanyang today.

"Two military advisors, Bowangpo, indeed, there is an enemy ambush. They have not retreated yet. Do the two military advisors have any plans?" Zhao Hui asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

"The terrain of Bowangpo is dangerous, and if you want to attack with force, you will inevitably pay a huge price." Guo Jia said.

Jia Xu said: "But, as long as you attack with fire, you can easily break it."

Jia Xu didn't care how many people would burn to death by fire attack, he only cared about whether it was efficient.

Undoubtedly, fire attack is the most efficient.

Moreover, we don’t have to pay much.

In addition, Zhao Jun now has gunpowder in his hands, so it would be easier to burn Bowangpo.

As long as you are outside, you use a catapult to smash several pots into the mountains and forests, a fire will easily form.
