Chu army camp.
Ji Shu had already brought 10,000 troops to attack Guan Yu, and there were still 4,000 troops left in the camp.
Whoosh whoosh!
A large number of arrows were suddenly shot from the woods on the right side of the camp. Several groups of soldiers guarding the camp gate were caught off guard in the first wave of attacks and suffered heavy casualties.
And with the dense arrows, a large number of enemy troops poured out of the forest.
"Han Army! Han Army sneak attack!"
The camp suddenly became noisy as if a pot was exploding. How could the Chu army fight in haste against the fierce offensive prepared by Chen Dao's white-ear elite soldiers who had calculated and unintentionally?
The camp gate was temporarily lost in a short period of time.
After a small period of confusion, the Chu army finally organized its troops and began to fight for the camp gate again. But it was too late, the Han army's infantry had already pulled away and opened the camp gate.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Three thousand cavalry rolled in and poured into the Chu army's camp.
Chen Dao took the lead, raising his sword high and shouting.
"Kill! Crush the Chu army!"
"Kill!" "Kill!"
The fierce attack of the Han cavalry once again defeated the Chu army's newly organized counterattack, and they fought their way into the Chu army's granary.
Seeing that his own soldiers quickly took control of the granary, and the Chu army attacked from the left and right but could not break through the Han army's temporary defense line, a young general next to Chen Dao showed contempt on his face, obviously disdainful of the Chu army.
"How powerful is the Chu army? It is also vulnerable to our elite white-eared soldiers."
Chen Dao's face showed suspicion. Are the elite soldiers of Chu really so miserable?
As a general, you cannot just believe in what is happening in front of you. Even if everything in front of you is the truth, you must consider other factors because he is responsible for the success or failure and safety of an army.
Walking to a granary, Chen Dao struck it with his sword, and the white rice immediately flowed to the ground.
This is indeed the granary of the Chu army. If it is burned, the Chu army will starve to death!
This made Chen Dao breathe a sigh of relief, and he nodded and gave instructions to the soldiers around him.
"Stop talking nonsense, pour fire oil on it quickly, don't leave even a grain of rice for the Chu army!"
"Take orders!"
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and took bags of kerosene from their horses and poured them on each granary.
A quarter of an hour later, most of the granary was doused with kerosene. Chen Dao is certain that as long as there is a little fire now, the fire can sweep through the entire granary and cannot be extinguished at all!
It's a breeze!
The shouts of killing were loud all around, but the Chu army had not yet posed a fatal threat to the temporary defense line constructed by its own infantry. Compared with the comfort of the soldiers, Chen Dao's face was getting darker and darker, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"That's enough. Fire up! Retreat!"
The fire soared into the sky, and the entire granary was ignited at once. The Han soldiers, led by Chen Dao, quickly evacuated towards the entrance of the camp.
The strange thing is that the Chu army did not pursue or put out the fire, but retreated towards the camp gate on the other side.
Chen Dao's uneasiness reached the extreme!
"Quick! Get out of here!"
The soldiers did not discern the meaning in Chen Dao's tone. They had burned the Chu army's food and grass and made great achievements. Now they will return in triumph!
The soldiers roared happily on their way back, and a group of soldiers had already left the camp gate.
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of breaking wind coming from both sides.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The soldiers fell one by one like wheat.
"General Chen, Lu Xun has been waiting here for a long time!"
It's a name I've never heard of, but it must be a general of the Chu army.
The road that was supposed to be a triumphant return was full of thorns of death. The Han army was stunned by this sudden attack.
"Retreat to the camp first!"
Seeing that the soldiers suffered such heavy losses in the random arrows, Chen Dao immediately ordered the leading cavalry to return to the Chu army's camp and use the camp to defend themselves against the arrows.
After retreating into the camp, the soldiers calmed down a little, but Chen Dao was so angry that he slashed his sword on the fence and penetrated the wood three times.
It's a repeating crossbow!
The Chu army had already deployed two hundred repeating crossbows and many archers in the mountains and forests on both sides.
The elite soldiers of the Chu State did not have weapons like repeated crossbows, and the 4,000 men left behind to guard the camp were the Yulin Army!
At this moment, Chen Guo Na still didn't understand that he had fallen into Ji Shu's trick.
Before they had time to think carefully about the strategy to break out, the Chu army had already fired rockets.
Only then did Chen notice that a lot of dry firewood had been quietly piled up by the Chu army around the camp.
boom!
Everything was burning, and the entire camp was on fire. The funny thing was that the strongest fire was the one they had lit in the granary.
Chen Dao's eyes widened.
Ji Shu actually wanted to use the entire military camp and all the granaries to replace his troops!
The young general beside him eagerly advised Chen Dao.
"General, we can't delay! Let's break out from the other side of the camp gate!"
no!
Chen Dao gritted his teeth and said.
"There must be an ambush at the other camp gate. Our army is wasting time and increasing casualties by crossing the sea of fire. Just fight out from here! Go and tell the soldiers to rush out at one go and not stop. We will all stop if we stop." Die here!"
"yes!"
······
Lu Xun was excited and a little nervous.
Although he had been on the battlefield with his teacher before and performed well in exercises organized by his teacher, this time was a real battle commanded by him.
The Han army retreated a bit quickly, otherwise he could pile more firewood around to make the next fire burn more vigorously.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the Han army is already a turtle in the urn.
With an order, the long-arranged crossbows and archers started shooting. As if thousands of arrows were fired at once, the Han army fell in response.
Lu Xun clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.
"General Chen, Lu Xun has been waiting here for a long time!"
Just when Lu Xun thought that the Han cavalry would flee in all directions, they actually retreated, leaving Lu Xun stunned.
Forget it, let’s be burned to death together with those infantry troops!
Lu Xun gave the order for the fire attack.
Rockets were fired one after another, and the camp was ignited with continuous fire. Some archery towers fell to the ground in the fire, and the screams and roars of the Han army could be heard in the distance.
Finally, they had to fight out again.
Lu Xun was a little surprised. Could it be that Chen Dao guessed that there was an ambush on the other side in such a short period of time and chose to break out from him again?
It seems that the senior brother ambushing on the other side will be disappointed.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Chu army's arrows roared again and pounced on the enemy.
This time, Chen Dao used his infantry as the front army to fight out. The soldiers held up large shields to cover, and many archers were mixed in to fight back against the Chu army.
However, the Chu army occupies a favorable terrain, while the Han army is surrounded by a sea of fire behind them. They have no way to retreat and can only rush forward against the rain of arrows. The battle situation can be said to be one-sided.
After several battles, the Han infantry suffered heavy casualties, and the Chu army's attack also weakened. After all, arrows are still limited. Even if the arrows are not used up, some crossbows still need to switch magazines, and it is impossible to maintain such a fierce attack all the time.
At this time, the Han army's cavalry launched.
They held up small shields to cover their vital points and rushed forward desperately.
"Quick! Aim at them! We can't let them escape!"
The soldiers were in a hurry and the attack became chaotic.
Lu Xun had less than 2,000 men at his disposal. Although he occupied a favorable location and surrounded the Han army, Chen Dao was unwilling to fight and focused on retreating. In the end, more than 1,000 Han troops escaped from the encirclement.
Lu Xun didn't expect that Chen Dao would seize the opportunity so accurately. He was embarrassed because he underestimated the enemy and let the enemy general go in the first battle!
"Chase!"
Lu Xun quickly ordered his soldiers to go down the mountain and mount their horses to pursue the Han army.
There were not many infantrymen in the Han army who could escape the encirclement, and most of them scattered in all directions. Lu Xun ignored it and only focused on staring at the escaping cavalry. Where is Chen Dao!
Before the Han army could escape far, it didn't take long for Lu Xun's troops to catch up with Chen Dao.
"There, kill!"
Unexpectedly, the white-ear elite soldiers had not lost their fighting spirit. Seeing Lu Xun chasing after them, they turned around and came back to fight.
After all, Lu Xun was full of blood and passion. Only then did he realize that if the enemy's strength were to be faced off head-on, he might not be able to get a good deal! But now, how could he be willing to retreat?
"Kill! Don't let Chen Dao go!"
Lu Xun pointed at Chen Dao and shouted, Chen Dao also looked at him, and then Chen Dao jumped on his horse.
Huh?
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, but Chen Dao was not polite to you, and stabbed Lu Xun directly with the spear in his hand.
