chapter eight
The sudden fire surrounded Cao Ren's army. Even a powerful force like the "Qingzhou Soldiers" who had been through many battles immediately became panicked. The fire and fire were ruthless, no matter how hero you are, it would be hard to defeat Zhurong's power.
Cao Ren was almost in a state of sensation. Not long ago, he still attacked the enemy by fire, but in a blink of an eye, he had been attacked by fire by the enemy.
"General, General..." Yu Jin next to him shouted loudly, "General, we have been trapped and we must break through as soon as possible."
Cao Ren immediately woke up, calmed his mind, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look around: there was a sea of fire on the east, west, and north. With the help of the strong north wind, the fire became more and more fierce, and it was like a man-eating beast pounced towards his army. Many soldiers had been engulfed by the raging fire, rolling in the fire, making heart-wrenching wails. Cao Ren felt a faint pain in his heart.
"General, if you don't break through, you will have no chance!" Yu Jin said anxiously.
Cao Ren gritted his teeth, a determined look shot in his eyes, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, breaks south and escapes from this fire scene!" The remaining soldiers, led by Cao Ren, desperately flee to the south without fire.
In fact, Cao Ren also knew very well that since the enemy was deliberately luring his army into this terrifying trap, he would definitely not let himself escape easily. He caught fire on three sides, but only one south side was left, there must be some powerful tricks waiting for him. But the arrow was on the string and he had to fire. If he could not escape from the sea of fire as soon as possible, he would be a dead end.
Cao's soldiers ran 7,800 steps, gradually leaving the sea of fire behind. But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden change forced them to stop.
"Dou~Dou~Dou~Dou~Dou~~~~" The sound of the horns of three shorts and one long sounded. Immediately, "Dou!Dou!Dou!Dou..." was the sound of the war drum. With the rhythm of the drums, an infantry army of about ten thousand people lined up in neat steps to block the way ahead of Cao's army. A tall military flag stood in front of the battle formation, and the flying military flag was waving in the wind. The word "Zhang" was waving in the wind.
Zhang???Zhang Fei????!!!!!!Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang frowned at the same time, and their hearts were cold.
…………………………………
Under the escort of my second brother and Zhao Yun, my elder brother came to me safely. Although my clothes and face were stained with flying grass ash, I looked a little embarrassed, but my elder brother was excited and looked happy. Looking at Cao Jun who was surrounded by the fire, he smiled and said, "Third brother, the plan has indeed been successful! It depends on you below!"
Seeing that my elder brother was fine, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I smiled at my elder brother, "Brother, don't worry! You and my second brother will rest for a while, I will be there in everything below!"
I turned my head and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, will you continue to act according to the plan?"
Zhao Yun responded with a sigh: "Yes, General!" He turned around and saluted his elder brother again, "Lord, Zhao Yun is here first!"
The eldest brother smiled and nodded, "Zilong, be careful of everything!"
"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Yun waved the silver spear in his hand, "Set out!" More than 2,200 cavalrymen of the wind cavalry camp roared away with Zhao Yun.
Seeing that Zhao Yun had led his army to leave, I shouted loudly: "Sing the horn, beat the drum, go out to fight!"
The 10th Battalion had a total of 10,000 infantry troops, arranged into 10 infantry and military formations, with two square formations in a row, and the team stretched to 3,400 steps away, blocking Cao Renjun's way. The second battalion listed in the most vanguard were the "Tiger Spear" and "Bear Spear" battalions.
I immediately crossed my spear and lined up in the formation, quietly watching Cao Renjun, who was rushing towards this side, less than 300 steps away, a cold smile appeared on his face.
It seems that the plan has been more than half successful, and the final task is to wipe out Cao Renjun.
My combat plan was designed for brave and scheming generals like Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang who were brave and scheming but not very advanced. First of all, according to my estimation, famous generals like Cao Ren and Yu Jin who were familiar with military tactics could not fight our army immediately with their own distant army. The first thing he would do was to set up camps first, rest the soldiers, and send a sentry to investigate the situation of our army. I set up the first bait for Cao Ren - deliberately arranged our army to set up camps. With the ability of Cao Ren and others, after learning this information, they would definitely think of using fire attacks to attack our army. After nightfall, I immediately ordered all the infantry in the camp to take advantage of nighttime.
Se quietly left the camp and retreated to the predetermined ambush site to prepare. Only the Fengqi Camp was left to bluff in the camp. After Cao Ren set fire, his second brother and Zhao Yun escorted the eldest brother, leading the Fengqi Camp to pretend to run away in a hurry to attract the attention of Cao's army - this is the second "bait". As long as Cao Ren and others saw their elder brother "escape from the camp", they could be sure that they would lead their army to chase the eldest brother, because as long as the elder brother is captured or killed, our army will disperse without fighting. Cao Ren and others thought that their fire attack plan was successful, they would definitely be careless. With the eldest brother as bait, even if Cao Ren did not think about it, it would be difficult.
……………………………
Cao Ren looked at the enemy troops that suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped involuntarily. He felt a chill in his heart, with fire behind him and blocking troops in front. Will he be defeated here today?
When Cao Ren saw that the chief general was stationed in the army, the Cao army soldiers slowed down one after another and stopped slowly. Although the fire gradually approached, the Cao army's strict military discipline made these soldiers dare not take any action before the chief general made any movement.
"General, you can't hesitate anymore. Only by breaking through the enemy's obstacles in front can our army have a glimmer of hope!" Yu Jin saw Cao Ren stopping and knew what Cao Ren was thinking, so he hurriedly advised him.
Cao Ren suppressed the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, nodded to Yu Jin, and then shouted fiercely: "All the soldiers, our army has no way out now. Only by striving forward to defeat the enemy can we have a way out."
Cao Ren raised his spear in his hand and waved it forward with great strength, "Soldiers, follow me!" Under Cao Ren's leadership, Cao's soldiers began to rush forward.
………………………………………
After seeing Cao's army pause, they began to charge towards our army frantically. I smiled coldly in my heart and said to Lin Xue beside me: "Zifeng, Wen'an (Jinchou's word), I will hand it over to your Tiger Gun Camp and Bear Gun Camp in the first round. Zifeng will coordinate and command it!"
"Yes, General!" the two responded in unison.
Lin Xue came to the front of the formation, looked at the distance from Cao's army, and shouted loudly: "The enemy reached 200 steps, Tiger Spear and Bear Spear Second Battalion, everyone obeyed the order!"
"Put down the spear and take the pitching gun!"
"The enemy army ahead of the target, ruler six, projection preparation!"
With Lin Xue's order, the soldiers of the two battalions were extremely neat. They held a gun in their right hand, took half a step forward with their left foot, leaned back slightly, and quietly stared at the approaching enemy troops.
"The enemy reaches 100 steps! The tactics of 'Gun Rain', shoot densely and shoot guns!" Lin Xue shouted loudly.
"Swish!" "Yes!" The soldiers of the two battalions threw the guns in their hands forward almost at the same time. The 2,000 guns drew a graceful arc, which was like a cloud covering the sky in the air. Then, with a sharp and cold scream, it quickly covered Cao Renjun.
Cao Renjun's soldiers unconsciously buried their heads and rushed forward desperately. By chance, a soldier raised his head and saw dense spears falling from the sky. He couldn't help but scream: "What east..." Before he could say the last word "Western", he had already been penetrated by two spears into his chest and nailed to the ground.
In just a moment, nearly a thousand Cao army soldiers were stabbed by this round of "gun rain", falling to the ground, dead or injured, and miserable screams kept ringing. Cao Ren tried hard to shoot several guns at him, and had no time to care about the casualties of nearly a thousand people. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't stop, continue... rush!" As long as he could rush closer, he would definitely be able to fight out. Cao Ren had no doubt about the combat power of his "Qingzhou soldiers".
At this time, Lin Xue's loud shout sounded again, and even Cao's soldiers could hear it clearly.
"Take the gun, ruler five! The tactics of "Gun Rain", intensive shooting, and shoot the gun!"
There is no way to hide on the empty plains. The second round of "gun rain" of 2,000 guns caused more than a thousand Cao army soldiers to fall down with hatred.
But at this time, the Cao army soldiers had already rushed to less than 40 steps away. The Cao army soldiers were like hungry beasts, with beastly brilliance in their eyes, waving the swords and guns in their hands, and rushed over fiercely.
30 steps!
20 steps!
15 steps!
"Kill!" Under Cao Ren's leadership, Cao's soldiers roared together.
Strange! The two armies are about to take over, why is the enemy on the opposite side so strange? They just quietly level the spear in their hand, and there is no other move, and the expression on their face is surprisingly calm. Cao Ren thought in surprise, but the situation is no longer allowed to be considered. Cao Ren waved the spear in his hand and said, "Kill!"
10 steps!
9 steps!
8 steps!
At this time, something happened suddenly!
"Boom!" Nearly a hundred Cao army soldiers who rushed in the front felt their bodies suddenly sinking, losing their center of gravity, and falling into something.
"Ah~ah~!" A shrill scream sounded from time to time, but it quickly returned to silence.
Cao Ren, who was originally rushing in front, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart at the last moment and he couldn't help but slam his horse. This action allowed him to escape. When he looked at the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
A trench that is ten feet wide, half feet deep, and about 800 steps long is separated between the two armies. What is even more terrifying is that the ditch is covered with sharp bamboo sticks and wooden thorns. Originally, there must have been some disguise on the trench, so the soldiers rushing in front fell into the ditch without paying special attention and were stabbed to death by bamboo sticks and wooden thorns.
"Rise the gun! Arrange the gun!"
The soldiers of the Tiger Gun Camp and the Bear Gun Camp stabbed the spear in front of Lin Xue's order and shouted: "Kill!" The cold gun forest spread densely with the trench as the boundary.
Chapter completed!
