Chapter 11: The Fire Burns the Plains

The night was spent peacefully without disturbing each other.

Because they knew in each other's hearts how important the battle after dawn was.

The night passed slowly, and the first rays of dawn shone on the land.

The two sides reorganized their armies for battle, and the Yellow Turban Army did not start fighting at dawn, but were having breakfast.

For them, only when they have their stomachs full can they have the strength to fight.

Xue Yun and the others were no exception, and the two sides reached a surprising agreement in this regard.

After eating, the Yellow Turban Army and their whole army launched an attack, and did not send a general to the city to call for battle like yesterday.

Tens of thousands of troops pressed towards the city like dark clouds floating in the sky.

Xue Yun did not send all his soldiers out of the city to fight them hard, but resisted them according to the strong defense of the city wall.

Although the Yellow Turbans were numerous, they did not have any siege equipment.

There was not even a ladder necessary for the siege.

Some of them only had a large log to smash against the city gates.

On the other hand, Xue Yun's side, he asked people to prepare stones and wood yesterday, and sometimes the wood was not enough, and the people in the city asked them to use the wood that supported the house in their own homes.

It has truly achieved the unity of the army and the people, and united as one.

On the one hand, Xue Yun asked the soldiers of the city wall to use bows, arrows, stones, etc. to stop the enemy's attack.

On the other hand, in the city, four catapults have long been prepared.

These were originally siege weapons used to destroy city gates and walls.

But who would have thought that one day, they would be used to defend the city.

It's just that Xue Yun didn't let the soldiers put stones on it, but prepared a large amount of fire oil packed in wine jars.

And outside the wine jar, there is also a linen cloth soaked in fire oil to wrap the wine jar.

Xue Yun asked the soldiers to set the sackcloth on fire and use the catapult to send the jar out.

The wine jar is far lighter than the stone, and this throw will throw hundreds of meters.

Flowers exploded directly in the crowd of the Yellow Turbans.

The jar slammed into the ground, shattering to the ground, and the oil splattered out.

And with the help of the fire, it got on the body of the Yellow Turban Army, and it burned directly.

Immediately, the soldiers who caught fire on their bodies hurriedly rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish it, but the fire oil could only start with the help of sand, and rolling on the ground could only make the fire borrow wind and make the flame burn more vigorously.

Immediately afterward, jars of wine filled with fire oil exploded around them, and the fire immediately burned.

Maybe it's because there are too many Yellow Turban soldiers, and in the panic, they actually let the flames that were originally scattered everywhere connect together.

In the end, a momentum of fire was formed.

Everything that happened here made the Yellow Turban Army explode, and they never thought that Yuan Shao would actually use this method to deal with them.

These people originally thought it was a small city, and it was not easy to take it.

Especially the group at the back of the line, they even thought that they didn't need to do anything at all, they could have fun in the city.

But who knew that there would be such a show.

The place where the fire started, in the middle of the ranks of the Yellow Turbans.

This fire directly split the whole team into two, so that they could not look at each other.

And the people in the middle ran to both sides, and the people on both sides even stabbed them to death in order not to set themselves on fire.

The scene was so chaotic that even the attacking troops at the front had to retreat to help extinguish the fire.

Zhang He and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Originally, they were ready to die with the enemy.

How could he have thought that his main guild would be so ruthless.

Only Xue Yun looked at all this coldly, in fact, he didn't want to use this trick in the first place, because this trick was too vicious.

It was only after learning what the Yellow Turbans had done that he decided he had to do it.

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Army is in chaos right now, and the whole army is attacking at this moment, and it will definitely win." Zhang He's side took the initiative to ask for battle.

Xue Yun shook his head slightly, and said lightly, "It's not enough, there's still a lack of fire." ”

At that moment, there was the chirping of birds behind him.

Then, hundreds of small birds flew directly over the heads of the crowd and landed somewhere in the distance.

It didn't take long for a fire to break out there.

"It's successful, the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army have been burned." Xue Yun said.

"What?" Xue Yun's words made these generals dare not believe their ears.

Xue Yun explained: "I starved the birds I caught all night, and what they needed most was food. I have hidden all the food in the city. ”

Xue Yun paused, and then said, "They have to go outside the city to find it, there is tens of thousands of troops of food not far away, they must fly there." They were also doused with oil. Now there was a sea of fire outside, and the temperature was rising, coupled with the heat generated by the bird's own movement, and when it reached the place where the food was, it would burn itself, and even the grain stored there would not be spared. ”

Xue Yun's words made the people here not understand, but they probably knew the meaning.

It was the birds that burned the Yellow Turbans' food.

Xue Yun turned to the crowd and said, "Generals, now that the enemy army is in chaos and there is no food, are we just here to watch?" ”

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Xue Yun took a deep breath and shouted, "Open the city to meet the enemy!" ”

Then the gates of the city opened, and all 30,000 soldiers were killed.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was originally busy extinguishing fires, saw Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses suddenly killed, and they had no intention of resisting at all.

Yuan Shao's side first fired a volley of strong bows, and the arrow rain formed by the bow and arrow directly blocked part of the sun, and the next moment, it was the Yellow Turban Army's point - 10,000 arrows piercing the heart package.

This wave completely destroyed the will of the Yellow Turban Army to resist.

One by one, they threw away their armor and ran faster than any rabbit.

No matter how Zhao Dong shouted there, no one listened to him.

At this moment, Zhao Dong understood in his heart that the general trend had gone, and he was no longer powerless to return to the sky.

Ignoring his subordinates, he ran away alone.

Zhang He and several other generals rushed to the forefront, followed by tens of thousands of troops.

The entire army was like an indestructible sword, cutting a long hole directly in the Yellow Turban Army, and directly inserting it into the depth.

On the other hand, those Yellow Turban Army, even Zhao Dong, the commander, ran away, how could they still have the intention of fighting, what they wanted was to flee from this place as soon as possible.

So in the eyes of Zhang He and others, they are a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

They are like wolves entering the flock and launching a merciless slaughter.

It seems that Xue Yun's reprimand yesterday inspired their fighting spirit, and they also told Xue Yun's words to their soldiers.

This led to the whole army hating the enemy and showing no mercy in the face of these Yellow Turban troops.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the battle ended with the escape of the Yellow Turbans.

It's just that Zhang He and the others didn't come back, but ran in the direction of Wind Canyon with this fighting spirit that must win.

I'm going to help Yan Liang and them.

Xue Yun stood on the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban Army fleeing in embarrassment, listening to the shouts of the people in the city who were rejoicing because of the victory, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
