Chapter 236 Dawn is coming! (Thanks to [Qi Ban Shuo]
"Why are you in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and set fire to me!"
"Ah! Look!" The cavalrymen came back to their senses by Lu Yan's roar, and immediately rushed forward, igniting the thickest and largest main granary in Wuchao.
Fires soar into the sky!
"The main warehouse was ignited!"
"Put the fire! Put the fire quickly!"
Thousands of soldiers led by Chunyu Qiong also rushed to reinforce.
Lu Yan's small team of hundreds of riders is probably not enough for people to get stuck in their teeth.
The main reason is that the shadow was just shot out by a powerful crossbow, and the effect of being as motionless as a mountain is gone. If you resist the powerful crossbow, you will suffer heavy losses...
Lu Yan was not an iron-headed baby. When he saw Yuan Jun coming, he immediately whistled and recalled his brother who was still igniting fires everywhere, shouting: "Brothers, withdraw!"
Hundreds of cavalry evacuated quickly.
On the way to retreat, a brave Dragon Cavalry soldier asked his companion next to him: "Erwa, do you think Lu Piqi really knows magic?"
Erwa glared at the questioning soldier when he heard this and scolded: "Bah! What is a demonic technique? Lu Piaoqi made it called an immortal technique. Do you understand the immortal technique?"
"Oh! Yes! It's an immortal method!"
At this time, another person next to them came to join in the fun and said, "What's strange about Lu Piaoqi's immortal skills?
When I left the military camp, Lu Piaoqi read an article. I suddenly felt that my strength increased and my mind was clear. It was obvious that Lu Piaoqi used the immortal magic!”
The soldier who asked suddenly said, "So that's it! I thought I suddenly got it!"
......
Guandu, Yuan Shao's camp.
The darkness before dawn passed and the sky was already lit up.
When Zhang He, the general of the Ningguo Clan, got up early to patrol the camp, he suddenly discovered that the sky in the direction of Wuchao had turned red for some reason!
"No, I'm afraid there's a fire in the direction of Wuchao!"
Zhang He reacted instantly and hurried to Yuan Shao's tent to report.
"Lord! Lord! Wuchao is on fire, the situation is not good!" Zhang He shouted outside. If it weren't for the personal guards' stopping him, he would have rushed into Yuan Shao's inner tent.
Yuan Shao was woken up by the shouts outside, and sat sleepy on the bed, confused for two or three seconds.
"Lord, Wuchao is on fire..."
More and more generals and strategists discovered the abnormalities of Wuchao and rushed to report.
"Oh!" Yuan Shao finally reacted and said to himself in panic: "My food is broken! It's broken! It's broken!"
Yuan Shao had no time to get dressed and walked out of the inner tent. However, looking at the generals and counselors who were coming one after another after another, he suddenly calmed down and said to everyone: "What's the matter? It's just food and grass."
Feeling Yuan Shao's calmness, everyone also found the backbone and calmed down immediately.
When Zhang He saw Yuan Shao coming out, he immediately suggested: "Lord, Wuchao was attacked by a sneak attack, and the situation is extremely serious! All our food and grass are stored there, so we cannot be lost. Please send troops to rescue us quickly!"
At this time, Guo Tu, who was promoted to the master of the plan by Yuan Shao because he drove away Xu You, suddenly spoke out and said:
"General Zhang's words are wrong! Cao Cao will go to Wuchao in person, and all the elite troops in the camp will be released.
If we go to attack Cao Cao's Guandu camp at this moment, as long as we defeat his Guandu camp, our army will be able to advance straight into Chenliu and Xuchang. What a pity?"
Zhang He didn't know how Guo Tu took the position of the master, but now it is not the time to distinguish these. He persuaded again: "The Cao army has two city walls, which are well prepared, and it is difficult to capture in desperation. If Wuchao's food is completely destroyed and our army's morale collapses, we may not be able to escape any of the people in Guandu, and all of them will become prisoners!"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, they seemed to make sense. After thinking for a while, he was still a little swaying, so he simply thought of a compromise and said, "What you both said makes sense... But in my opinion, Cao's army is already small, and if they divide the troops, there are not many left.
Wuchao also needs to be rescued, but it is not advisable to dispatch too many soldiers.
Because even if Cao Cao captured Chunyu Qiong and burned our army's food and grass, if I took the opportunity to break through his Guandu camp, Cao Cao would sooner or later be a dog that was stray."
Zhang He wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shao directly ordered: "Zhang He, Gao Lan! Order you and the two of you to lead the main force to attack the Cao army's camp. Be sure to break through the Guandu defense before Cao's army returns to the aid!"
Zhang He, Gao Lan, had no choice but to take the order and said, "I will take the order!"
When Yuan Shao saw Zhang He and Gao Lan receive the order, he nodded slightly and ordered: "Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang! Order you and the other two to lead two thousand light cavalry and three thousand infantrymen to Wuchao to rescue!"
"Here!" Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, without saying a word, hurriedly led his troops.
After the arrangement was completed, Yuan Shao returned to his inner account leisurely, as if he had already won the battle...
Han Juzi and Lu Weihuang led two thousand light cavalry and three thousand infantrymen on the road to rescue Wuchao. Not far away, they could already see the fire in the direction of Wuchao from afar. The fire light soared into the sky and thick smoke covered the sky!
Han Juzi said worriedly: "It's over! Seeing the rapidity of the fire, I'm afraid that all the food in Wuchao will be burned out! What's the use of us even if we rush there now?"
Lu Weihuang replied: "The situation is unclear. Perhaps General Chunyu Qiong is still resisting?
It’s not a big deal for us to go on such a journey. It’s better to do this. I will lead the cavalry first, and you will lead the infantry to follow up. If something goes wrong, we will retreat faster."
Han Juzi nodded in agreement, while Lu Weihuang gave the order and led the cavalry to gallop like a gust of wind.
In less than an hour, Lu Weihuang approached the narrow zone of Wuchao for several miles.
The smoke was rolling in the air, and the smoke from the camp ahead choked on the mouth and nose.
Cao Cao and Lu Yan stood on the wall of the canyon, watching the fire in Wuchao Camp while listening to the scout's report.
The Wuchao camp has been defeated by its own army.
With eight thousand elite cavalry and several peerless generals, Chunyu Qiong resisted for a while in vain, and finally he hurried deep in the camp and did not dare to come out.
The fire swallowed the camp. In order to prevent his cavalry from being scorched by the fire, Cao Cao temporarily evacuated and came to the valley outside.
The reason why Cao Cao did not retreat immediately was because he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely send reinforcements.
Since your army still has the strength to do, why not take over these reinforcements and return to Guandu?
Guandu included counselors such as Guo Jia and Xun Yu, as well as generals such as Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Wei Yan, Dian Wei and tens of thousands of soldiers. Cao Cao was very confident in them and believed that they would definitely be able to block Yuan Shao's final life-threatening attack.
Cao Cao looked at the dust raised by the Yuan army cavalry in the distance, and the scout reported: "Lord, the Yuan army's cavalry is less than ten miles away from us!"
Cao Cao raised his mouth and said to Lu Yan beside him: "Immortal Lu, do you want to use the magic method again?"
Lu Yan twitched his lips, and he smiled awkwardly and lied, "How could I know any immortal skills? I just used the treasure that my master left to save my life... Alas, I'm losing money!"
It turned out that it was not that Immortal Lu had pierced the last layer of window paper, but that he used external objects!
Cao Cao suddenly calmed down... It's great that he can continue to stay!
Cao Cao was in a happy mood and said to several messengers in a brisk tone: "You immediately separate and tell the generals that when the enemy cavalry arrives, don't attack and let them in. When the infantry behind comes out, they will rush out together!"
"Here!" The messenger immediately dispersed.
Seeing Xu Chu next to him being anxious, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Zhongkang, you can go and have an activity too... It's rare for you to take action once by my side, I feel wronged!"
"Here!" Xu Chu agreed excitedly. He had just run two steps, but turned around and asked, "But Prime Minister, who will protect you if I leave?"
Cao Cao turned his head and said to Lu Yannu, "With Mr. Lu here, who can hurt me at all?"
"That's right! Lu's cavalry can not only fight thousands of cavalry with one man, but also resist the powerful crossbow volley with his own power! In this world, I'm afraid no one can hurt you except Lu Bu!"
