Chapter 3 Burn with fire

After Xue Yun sent the order, although many soldiers were puzzled, some even felt angry.

Consider their lords to be the same as those who are weak and incompetent.

It's just that no matter what they think, they still have to obey Xue Yun's orders.

Just as everyone was packing up their things and preparing to retreat, there were twenty or thirty people beside them, passing by, each with a few jars of wine in their hands.

This made those soldiers, as well as the low-ranking generals, envious.

Like them, they can only drink a bowl of wine when they are celebrating the victory in battle, or some major holiday.

On the avenue more than 40 miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, a group of people came.

These people are the Yellow Turbans.

It's just that it's not entirely right to say that they are the army. Compared with the equipment on their bodies, there is still a gap between them and the real army.

In addition to some knives, guns and other weapons, others are holding some hoes, kitchen knives, and even sticks for ploughing.

And they are also staggering, they are completely a group of gangsters, and they can't even be called stragglers. There is no discipline at all.

If there's one thing they have in their strengths, it's that there are a lot of people.

An army of 100,000 people, walking on this road, there is no end in sight.

At the forefront is the commander of this team, Zhao Dong, one of the so-called four protectors of the Dharma, under the seat of Heavenly Master Zhang Jiao.

He was originally a general defending the city, but after seeing Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, he actually took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

And in the subsequent battle, he worked quite hard, and then got Zhang Jiao's appreciation, and made him a protector.

Zhao Dong was wearing golden armor and holding a sharp spear.

At this moment, he is completely a grass chicken turned phoenix, a proper nouveau riche.

There are also more than ten people beside Zhao Dong, they are the generals of this expedition, and the generals of various levels behind them command more than 100 horses, it can be said that this army can sweep most of the princes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time our mission is the Yuan Shao camp ahead. I wonder what the generals have to say? After Zhao Dong finished speaking, he also planned to listen to the opinions of the people around him.

A general beside him said, "Cut, Dharma protector, what else is there to discuss, we have so many people, just kill them in one go." ”

"That's right, I had the opportunity to kill that Yuan Shao yesterday, but who knew that his subordinates arrived and saved his life. This time, he certainly didn't have such good luck. ”

"That's right, he claims to have 100,000 soldiers, but in fact there are only about 80,000, and his army is not together, after yesterday's battle, he is now at most 20,000 or 30,000. What is there to be afraid of. ”

After listening to the words of the general beside him, Zhao Dong nodded proudly.

They are right, the absolute advantage occupied by their side, even if Yuan Shao transfers all his troops and horses at this moment, he is still in a weak position.

The reason why they marched unhurriedly was because Zhao Dong liked to play the game of cat catching rats.

In the past, when he conquered cities, he led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This creates an invisible pressure on those who will be attacked.

It made those defenders psychologically devastated. Some directly surrendered the city, while others abandoned the city and fled.

It embodies the true meaning of "a soldier who surrenders without a fight".

When they were still more than ten miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, the scouts sent out came back and told Zhao Dong that Yuan Shao's camp was empty, and they had all retreated to Anhua City.

As soon as the scout's words were finished, Zhao Dong and the others burst into laughter.

In their opinion, Yuan Shao was frightened by their lineup and fled early.

"It seems that this Yuan Shao is also a timid person, which is completely different from what I knew before."

"It's still Zhao Protector's method, we took Yuan Shao's camp without much effort."

Zhao Dong was also happy in his heart at the moment, he didn't care where Yuan Shao fled to? Anyway, their goal this time is to make Yuan Shao disappear from this world.

"Okay, let's go and see Yuan Shao's camp and see what good things he has left for us. After that, we'll go to Anhua City. Where else can I run away this time? ”

After Zhao Dong finished speaking, he led the troops to continue to advance.

Until they came to a short distance from the camp and found it empty.

Zhao Dong was worried that there was an ambush, so he sent a team of people in to investigate the truth.

After a while, someone came back and said it was empty and safe.

Zhao Dong went in with confidence.

Seeing that all the food, grass and ordnance in this camp had been taken away, he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart.

At this moment, someone came to tell Zhao Dong that there were dozens of jars of wine in the main tent.

After Zhao Dong heard this, he took those generals and walked in the direction of the big tent.

When I walked into the big tent, I saw that large and small wine jugs were placed in front of everyone.

Zhao Dong also stepped forward to pick up a pot of wine and said excitedly, "Brothers, we drank these wines, and then we went to Anhua City to eat fragrant and spicy food." ”

The generals also swarmed up and picked up the flasks.

"Come on, do it."

After that, he planned to drink all the wine.

But who knew that they had just put the wine in their mouths, and they all spit it out in unison.

"What kind of wine is this? This is clearly kerosene. Someone shouted.

Zhao Dong found that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "It's not good, withdraw quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a fire suddenly broke out above the tent.

Several arrows with fire were shot into the tent, and the jar of wine filled with fire oil was directly smashed.

The oil burned in an instant.

Zhao Dong hurriedly ran outside the tent, and some of the others were directly killed by arrows, and some were too late to run and died in the fire.

Zhao Dong, who had escaped, looked at the heights and found that there were archers in ambush on both sides, and the previous bows and arrows with fire were shot by them.

After ejaculating, they retreated without much entanglement at all.

Because they were all on the cliffs on both sides, it was impossible for Zhao Dong to send people to hunt them down.

Later, his subordinates reported that in this sneak attack, one general was killed, three were seriously injured, and all the rest were injured.

"What?" Zhao Dong roared angrily.

In previous battles, not to mention the deaths, few of the generals were wounded.

Of course, except for when they attacked Dong Zhuo, a man named Lu Bu made them suffer heavy losses.

Seriously wounded three people, it can be said that they have lost their combat effectiveness and have no role in the battle.

In addition to being the top force in the confrontation between the two armies, the general is also indispensable for commanding the army.

Because of the 100,000 army, Zhao Dong can only coordinate the overall situation, and those generals need to take the lead in dealing with specific matters.

Thinking about it carefully, they didn't even see Yuan Shao's face, so they suffered such a big blow inexplicably, how could they not be angry.

Zhao Dong said loudly, "Pass on my military order, reorganize the army, and march into Anhua City." I want to use Yuan Shao's head to pay tribute to the souls of the fallen soldiers in the sky. ”
