"Gongda, the enemy is coming, are you ready?"
Guo Jia ran to the agreed place in one breath. He didn't even have time to rest. He dismounted and asked Xun You loudly.
Hearing this, Xun You nodded and said, "Everything is ready, but I don't know how many enemy troops General Wenyuan can attract."
Guo Jia recalled the grand scene of Zhang Liao being chased in his mind, and couldn't help laughing: "There must be more than ten thousand people!"
"That's enough." Xun You nodded.
Unlike water attacks, fire attacks are only auxiliary means after all. It is unrealistic to think of burning all the enemy troops with one fire. Being able to burn more than 10,000 troops is already a great success.
At that time, the remaining enemy troops will also be frightened and will take advantage of the victory to pursue them.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the violent sound of horse hooves in the distance.
"coming!"
Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, his eyes filled with excitement.
After Juan County set fire to Xu Rong's oar, Zhang Fei had been missing that feeling, as if he had found his own passive skill.
"Be careful!"
Xun You immediately ordered the soldiers to hide in the bushes to prevent the enemy from noticing.
After a while, Zhang Liao finally arrived.
This way, Zhang Liao was worried that the Xiliang army would not pursue him, so he deliberately slowed down his speed.
But when I looked back halfway, my dear, the enemy army not only showed no intention of retreating, but instead stared at me like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.
Looking at Dong Huang who was captured by him, Zhang Liao immediately understood the reason.
This time Zhang Liao stopped pretending and immediately ordered to speed up.
A distance of several miles can be reached in an instant. Seeing a large bush appearing in front of him, Zhang Liao immediately turned his horse's head and plunged into it with his soldiers.
The pursuers quickly caught up, but Lu Bu was the first to arrive.
There is no doubt about the speed of the red rabbit horse. After he arrived, he was about to get in and continue the pursuit, but suddenly he heard a shout from behind him.
"General, stop!"
Gao Shun rushed over quickly and said with a serious face: "General, the art of war says: Don't enter in the forest. The enemy is attacking at night today, and the general always feels something fishy. In order to prevent the enemy from ambush, we'd better not go in yet." "
"But..." Lu Bu said hesitantly, "My foster father has an order to hunt down the enemy and recapture Dong Huang. The enemy is right in front of us, how can you expect me to sit idly by?"
Hearing Lu Bu's words that he would call Dong Zhuo his adoptive father, Gao Shun's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable boredom, but he immediately handed over his hands and said: "General, you might as well let the others enter the forest first. If there is no ambush, it won't be too late for us to go in again."
Hearing this, Lu Bu hesitated again.
On the one hand, he thinks what Gao Shun said is reasonable. But on the other hand, he was afraid that others would take away the credit.
Seeing this, Gao Shun quickly advised again: "General, if there is an ambush in the forest, it will be too late to regret it!"
Lu Bu then nodded, "Okay, let's not go in then."
After a while, Zhang Xiu led his army to attack. Seeing that Lu Bu, who had arrived first, did not continue the pursuit, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
However, Zhang Xiu didn't think so much. He immediately dove into the bushes and continued to pursue Zhang Liao.
From behind, tens of thousands of troops followed and rushed in with Zhang Xiu.
Seeing Zhang Liao enter the bushes, Xun You immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare. After Zhang Liao crossed the area covered with stone paint, he ordered a fire.
But immediately, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Behind Zhang Liao, I saw an endless stream of Xiliang troops swarming in. There were more than 10,000 people, clearly tens of thousands!
"This...are all the enemy troops crazy?" Xun You couldn't help but cast his eyes on Guo Jia and asked with a puzzled expression.
Guo Jia spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "How did I know?"
However, for fire attacks, if one person is burned, so are 100,000 people. In the end, the more people, the better.
While the two were wondering, Zhang Liao had already crossed the range covered by stone paint.
A glint flashed in Xun You's eyes, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Set fire!"
"okay!"
Zhang Fei stood up suddenly and agreed, then lit the torch himself and lit the bushes not far in front of him.
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, like a signal.
In an instant, within a radius of several hundred feet, torches were suddenly lit, embellishing the dark night.
"Quick, speed up!"
When Zhang Liao saw the torch light up, he felt anxious and hurriedly ordered to speed up.
The most ruthless thing is water and fire. Although the fire attack plan was thought up by Xun You, once the fire started, the follow-up was beyond his control. For now, the only option is to escape as quickly as possible.
Behind him, Zhang Xiu, who was pursuing, suddenly saw countless torches lit around him. He couldn't help but feel something bad in his heart.
Just as he was about to look around, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell.
"This is..." Zhang Xiu suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly, "This is Shiqi, retreat, retreat quickly!"
But the charging army could not be stopped so easily. No matter how Zhang Xiu shouted, he could not stop its advance.
If this continues, when the fire breaks out, no one will be able to survive!
no solution anymore!
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth suddenly, turned his horse's head and headed straight to the rear.
At this moment, he already understood the coalition's intentions, but was unable to change them. He could only focus on his own safety.
At the moment Zhang Xiu turned the horse's head, Zhang Fei had already set the bushes on fire.
Then, the surrounding torches lit up the bushes.
These shrubs were already dry and flammable, and they had been poured with stone paint in advance. Now, just like dry wood encountering a fierce fire, the flames suddenly shot out dozens of feet away and burned rapidly.
After Zhang Fei led his soldiers to set the fire, he ran back without looking back, for fear that he would be burned if he were slower.
Outside the bushes, Xun You looked at the firelight all around, with a flush of excitement on his dull face.
I thought that this fire attack would be considered a great success if it could burn 10,000 enemy troops. Who knew that it would actually attract tens of thousands of enemy troops!
Seeing these Xiliang soldiers shouting, roaring, struggling, and wailing in the sea of fire, Xun You couldn't help but close his eyes. He couldn't bear it but also had a little pleasure, and the expression on his face was extremely contradictory.
In the past, Zhang Ziyi's 30,000-strong army was flooded by the Bian River, and its formation was huge.
Today I, Xun Gongda, attacked the bandit army with fire, which can be regarded as a feat!
But before Xun You could revel in his achievements, he was pulled by Guo Jia and ran back by his sleeves.
"Gongda, stop being so slutty, the fire is about to come over, why are you still standing here?"
Hearing this, Xun You woke up from a dream. While glaring at Guo Jia, he quickly turned around and mounted his horse.
At this time, Zhang Liao was able to run out of the sea of fire, but he did not dare to stop at all and continued to run away. The horse under his crotch seemed to sense the approaching danger, and started running with all his strength.
The two parties who were originally chasing and escaping suddenly turned into running for their own lives due to the trend of the fire.
It's just that under such a rapid fire, only a few can escape.
As for those who couldn't escape, they could only turn into ashes in the sea of fire.
far away.
Zhang Heng found a high place and quietly watched the sea of fire burning in the distance.
Even though he was miles away, he could feel the hot air rushing towards him.
With the help of Shiqi, it was impossible to put out the fire, and everything that could be ignited had to be burned before resting.
Liu Bei looked excited and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "What a beautiful fire. Gongda and Fengxiao are indeed geniuses in the world! This time they did not waste a single soldier, but they caused heavy losses to the enemy!"
"It's natural. Fire and water are merciless, so it's not a lie." Zhang Heng also nodded and said with a smile, "It's just that this method will harm the heaven and earth after all. It's really hard to use unless it's a last resort."
Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately rolled his eyes, somewhat complaining about Zhang Heng's disgraceful appearance.
Everyone is rejoicing at the effectiveness of the fire attack. You just like to feel sad about spring and autumn, right?
"Ziyi, what you said is wrong." Liu Bei said sternly, "We raised the army just to defeat the thieves and serve the country. As long as Dong's thieves are not eliminated, the world will not be peaceful. If we don't use fire attack, we have to use our soldiers. To fill his life. Ziyi thinks, which one is more important?"
"this……"
Zhang Heng was suddenly speechless, and quickly raised his hands and said: "What Mr. Xuande said is absolutely true, but I made a mistake!"
"It's not a faux pas. Ziyi is so benevolent. He will be used to govern the prefectures and counties in the future, which is indeed a blessing to the people. But battlefield battles have been life and death since ancient times. You can't have the kindness of a woman!"
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei has been fighting with the army for several years, and he obviously sees some things more clearly than Zhang Heng.
"I will remember Duke Xuande's teachings." Zhang Heng said again, "But now we should go and inform Sun Wentai and Cao Mengde."
"That's right!" Liu Bei nodded heavily, "Now that the traitor army is trapped in the fire and Dong's camp is empty, it's the best time to attack!"
