In the rice fields, flames shot into the sky.
Each pile of straw was piled up in advance, lighting up the entire world and every military flag. This move was prepared to prevent Wenpin from seeing through the plan.
"General, there is an army coming from behind." The person on guard in front came back to report.
Ding Feng sneered: "Wenpin fell into the trap, retreat!"
Then he led the entire army to retreat.
Soon, only the military flags were left in the entire rice field, and not a single soldier was seen. At this time, the personal guard also got the news from the front. He was shocked and immediately led his troops to rush forward.
When he saw the military flag in the firelight, he was dumbfounded.
There were military flags all over the ground, but no soldiers or horses.
An aversion to cold climbed directly from the tailbone to the Tianling Cap. He looked around blankly, only the light of the fire made his face red. He hurriedly turned the horse's head and rushed towards the camp.
Even his personal guard woke up, they had fallen into a trap.
Halfway through the rush, they met Wenpin leading an army galloping towards them.
"General! General!" Seeing Wenpin leading the army, the guards shouted, "I've fallen into the trap, I've fallen into the trap. This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Hearing the words "Fell into a trap", Wenpin's mind buzzed.
My whole body was numb as if there was electricity.
Le Ma was stunned on the spot.
The personal guards rushed to Wenpin's horse, turned over and knelt on the ground: "General, little Wansi, the enemy's flags are all in front of me. I was confused by the flags and fell into their plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Say it and start crying.
"Quick! Go back quickly!"
Wenpin reacted suddenly, roared angrily, turned the horse's head, and drove back with all his strength.
But it's too late.
Ma Ming led a thousand cavalry into the enemy's empty stronghold and set fire to the enemy's grain and grass baggage. The fire rolled up into the sky with thick black smoke.
Because all the buildings in the military stronghold are made of wood.
As the fire spread, the entire military camp was ignited, and there were crackling explosions.
On the way back with his army, Wenpin saw the flames soaring into the sky and felt a wave of weakness all over his body, as if his muscles and bones had been taken away, leaving only skin and flesh that could not hold up the pole.
Suddenly there was a sound and the horse fell down.
The guards were shocked, rolled off their horses, helped Wenpin up, and woke up Wenpin who had passed out.
Woke up in a daze.
The first thing I saw was the thick smoke rising straight up from the exhaust. The military stronghold was burned, and all the food and grass were destroyed. The enemy's main force must be on the way, and the whole army was exhausted just coming and going. How could it be strong enough to fight again?
The desolate feeling of pain and soreness rolled out of my heart.
Despair spread.
"General!" The guards shouted eagerly when they saw Wenpin's eyes were vacant.
After a while, Wenpin finally regained his breath and ordered the entire army to rest on the spot. The front army formed a defensive formation, with archers on standby at any time, and the Tanma camp was released.
After doing this, he sat cross-legged.
He was thinking of countermeasures quickly in his mind.
In any case, this battle must not be a disastrous defeat, otherwise Liu Biao will lose the courage to challenge Zhang Xiu, not to mention that Zhang Xiu himself did not come, and if his men alone let them suffer a disastrous defeat, the consequences would be serious.
The people of Jingzhou will not let them go.
What he is thinking about now is how to ensure the retreat of the army at the minimum cost and prepare for the next step.
After much thought, he turned his attention to the personal guard just now, Dong San.
Dong San was an orphan and joined the army at a very young age. It has only been more than ten years now.
"General," Dong San said confidently when he saw Wenpin looking at him, "this battle was lost because I misreported the military situation. I am willing to lead the army to break up the rear and guarantee that the army will have time to retreat."
Wenpin didn't expect Dong Sanhui to be so smart, and at the same time he felt sorry for his cleverness. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's your fault and it's also my fault. My fault will be punished by the lord, and your fault will be punished by the master." As a punishment, I will leave you three thousand men, all wearing battle armor, who must hold on until dawn."
"Here!"
Dong San knelt on the ground, his voice loud and firm.
Wenpin didn't look at him anymore. He stood up and mounted his horse. He looked up at Lujia Terrace. The enemy army was already in sight. "The whole army obeys the order and retreats thirty miles!"
After saying that, he led the army to retreat.
Dong San and three thousand armored soldiers were left alone in the same place.
After the army retreated, Dong San stood up, with a determined look that was filled with killing intent, and an aura that seemed like someone else's. He held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and walked to the front of the military formation.
"Soldiers, tonight is the time for us to wrap our bodies in horse leather. After this battle, we will see you in the Palace of the King of Hell!"
Dong San shouted to boost morale.
The whole army shouted in response.
At this time, Chen Wu led the army to attack. He looked up and saw three thousand people behind him. Looking far away, he could still see traces of Wenpin's army retreating.
"Arista battalion! Kill!"
Wenpin must not be allowed to escape. Chen Wu decisively ordered the secret weapon: the flower blade armor-piercing crossbow to attack.
In order to make it easier to carry, the craftsmen fixed the flower-edged armor-piercing crossbow on the carriage. Two horses pulled the carriage to the left and right. The open space in the middle was the shooting space of the armor-piercing crossbow.
Seventeen carriages rushed to the front, and the soldiers on the carriages quickly pulled the bow strings.
Dong San was dumbfounded when he saw the enemy's weapons.
"put--!"
Following Chen Wu's roar, seventeen huge arrows struck with terrifying lightning speed. Dong San, who was blocking the front, had no time to react. He felt a shock in his chest, followed by a stabbing sound. The pain was a bit cold, and when I looked down, I saw a hole the size of a fist had appeared in my chest.
"General!"
At the last moment of death, Wenpin's majestic face appeared in front of his eyes, and then he fell powerlessly. Behind him, hundreds of soldiers were killed by the power of an arrow.
Everyone was stunned.
Forget about resistance.
"kill!"
Chen Wu seized the opportunity and rushed into the enemy's position, fighting fiercely all the way. After one impact, no one among the three thousand troops could stand.
"Chase! Quickly order General Ma Ming to lead the cavalry to intercept."
After Chen Wu gave the order, he led the army to continue the pursuit. This was the best time to eliminate the Jingzhou soldiers, and they must not be given a chance to breathe.
Dong San did not stop Chen Wu.
The two sides began to pursue and counter-pursue, and the hunter and prey were reversed. The psychology of both sides also underwent earth-shaking changes. Wenpin fled desperately, while Chen Wu led his army to pursue desperately.
It was not until daylight that the two sides stopped chasing.
The stopping position was just in front of Huishui Bay. Wenpin led the army into Huishui Bay and made defensive preparations inside Huishui Bay. Chen Wu led the army outside Huishui Bay and did not dare to enter easily.
The two sides entered a stalemate.
The cavalry led by Ma Ming had arrived at Huishui Bay long ago, and a battle broke out between the two sides. However, the troops were too small and they were forced to retreat, suffering hundreds of casualties.
After the battle reached this point, Ding Feng and Chen Wu were no longer anxious.
Because Pang Tong's reinforcements are coming soon.
Now the people summoned have become Wenpin, Liu Biao and the others.
