Zhang Liao and the others secretly advanced towards the peaks around Cao's army, and they walked very carefully, avoiding the patrols of some of Cao's scouts, and advanced little by little.

And Cao Cao, because of the sultry weather, will be in the shade of the trees.

Cao Cao looked up at the fierce sun and sighed, "When will this damn weather end?" ”

Cao Ren brought a bowl of water and said, "Lord, drink saliva." ”

"I'm tired." Cao Cao is not the kind of person who drinks water and honey water like Yuan Shu, so he directly brought it over and drank it clean.

After drinking a bowl of water, Cao Cao felt that his whole body was much more comfortable, and his mind, which was dizzy from the scorching summer sun, was cleared by this coolness.

After recovering a little of his spirit, Cao Cao asked, "How is the situation of the soldiers?" Is there any movement on Liu Yu's side? ”

"The soldiers were all arranged, and there was not much discomfort. Liu Yu's side is still the same, and he has been standing still. Komeito has been lying in ambush in front. Cao Ren said respectfully.

"Send more scouts, and be careful of that guy Liu Yu. And call Komeito back. Liu Yu already knew Lone's strategy, and there was no point in ambushing there. Cao Cao admonished.

"The last will understand." Cao Ren nodded yes. "It's just that what is our army going to do next?"

Liu Yu didn't move, and Lone was here to consume him. Over here. It's a lonely territory, and our logistics are not so difficult. On the other hand, Liu Yu is different, he made a detour and assaulted here, the prince of Changge City is a hard bone, and one of Liu Yu's soldiers and horses wants to take down Changge, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. As long as Changge is not lost, Liu Yu's grain and grass logistics are difficult to keep up, the longer the time drags on, and there is Lone here, Liu Yu's attack cannot break through, and the retreat is dragged by Lone, Liu Yu's grain and grass will be exhausted, and his tens of thousands of troops can only be left to the mercy of the mermaids. Cao Cao said confidently.

Cao Cao is very relieved of Cao Ren's own family, Cao Ren has never made mistakes, and he is a rare talent. Cao Cao has always been glad that he has so many good brothers around him to help him. It's just that Cao Ren can't meet the standard of handsome talent in Cao Cao's heart now, so this time Cao Cao said so much because he wanted to educate Cao Ren.

Cao Ren did not disappoint Cao Cao either, and had an epiphany: "It seems that if Liu Yu does not defeat the lord in the short term, then he will be in danger." ”

"If you want to defeat Lone, I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Cao Cao laughed.

Cao Ren agreed with Cao Cao's words in his heart, Cao Cao was the most outstanding hero of their Cao family and Xiahou family, and they firmly believed in Cao Cao's ability and courage.

The summer was mercilessly roasting the earth, there was no trace of wind in the mountain road, and the Qingming that Cao Cao had just recovered was fainted by the hot sun.

Cao Cao touched his forehead, feeling that he had a little headache, and his body shook.

"Lord, do you feel a headache again? You'd better go back and rest first. Cao Hong hurriedly came over to support Cao Cao, because Cao Cao didn't know when he would start to feel dizzy, especially after high-intensity work or stimulation.

"It's okay, it's just that it's too hot." Cao Cao shook his head and said.

"Lord, you're fine." Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This ghost weather is really abnormal. It went on like this for several days, and the whole trail seemed to be about to catch up. ”

Cao Cao was suddenly frightened, grabbed Cao Ren, and said, "What did you say? Lit? ”

"My lord, the last general said that it was like a fire. It was a dry day, and the last general had already ordered the soldiers to pay attention to the candles. Cao Ren thought he had done something wrong and was very nervous.

Cao Cao pushed Cao Ren away, looked around, and found that all the soldiers were camped under the trees or in the shade by the grass, and he suddenly felt a cold air spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He actually made such a fatal mistake.

"Order all the soldiers to move all their tents to an open place! Fast! Cao Cao roared hysterically.

Cao Ren was stunned and said, "This hot summer day is going to an open place, isn't that a heat death?" ”

"Go! Lone made a fatal mistake. If Liu Yu suddenly came and set fire to this mountain road, our army would be in danger. Cao Cao said regretfully.

Cao Ren finally realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly ran to order the soldiers to move.

Cao Cao hoped that Liu Yu would not think of this, otherwise he would have to retreat.

Zhang Liao and Dian Wei had already finished their division of labor, and they saw that Cao Jun had actually begun to move out of the forest and grassland one after another, and knew that Cao Cao had finally discovered the problem.

The two of them knew they couldn't wait any longer and went straight to setting fires.

Dian Wei and Zhang Liao set fire to two places, and the fire soon ignited. Liu Jun's soldiers threw flammable materials such as oil and sulfur into the fire, which instantly increased the power of the fire and spread towards Cao Ying.

"It's out of the water!" Cao soldiers shouted in horror.

Cao's soldiers were also well-trained, and quickly found fire extinguishing tools such as tree branches to beat the flames. While they were trying to extinguish the fire, a large number of feathered arrows came from the other side of the flames, killing them.

Cao Jun knew that this was an enemy attack, but with the fire and fear, Cao Jun didn't know how to deal with it, and some of them were timid and threw down their weapons and fled.

Cao Ren was so anxious that the corners of his mouth bubbled, and he shouted angrily: "Don't mess around, put out the fire quickly!" ”

But the Cao soldiers didn't listen at all.

The fire was very fast, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei continued to fire rockets, and the tent of Cao's camp was hit by rockets and began to burn.

There were fires outside the barracks, and the barracks were in a panic, and Cao Cao was shocked by the sudden fire.

Cao Cao looked at all this expressionlessly, he hated it in his heart, he was already ready to consume Liu Yu, but he didn't expect that because of a momentary mistake, it led to this big defeat.

Cheng Yu and the others came to Cao Cao's side one after another, and they looked at the fire with fear on their faces.

"This ......" Cheng Yu trembled even more, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Quickly organize troops to extinguish the fire, and the others will guard against Liu Yu's attack!" Cao Cao gave the order.

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone left quickly, leaving Cao Cao alone here.

Liu Yu's vanguard general, Lu Bu, saw that the Cao army's camp began to burn out, and said happily to his subordinates: "Wenyuan has succeeded in fighting evil, and it is time for me to ride a wolf to show his might." Let the world know that our wolf rider is not only invincible on the plains, but also invincible in the mountain roads. Soldiers! Kill with Ben. ”

"And state wolf ride!" The wolf rider let out a high shout and followed Lu Bu's footsteps to kill him.

Xu Huang had just withdrawn the ambush, and it didn't take long to see the camp burning into flames. It's definitely an enemy attack! Xu Huang immediately took the soldiers and horses back to the rescue.

And Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry suddenly killed behind Xu Huang's troops.

"Lu Bu! And state wolf ride! Xu Huang's face was a little pale, he knew that Liu Yu had been planning for a long time, and now Lu Bu had killed him, and the next thing was Liu Yu's army.

Xu Huang's troops chose to retreat, if the ambush just now was not removed, Xu Huang could still give Lu Bu a hard blow. Now that the ambush has been removed, Xu Huang can't stop Lu Bu's assault with the only force in his hand.

"Xu Huang, don't go! Let Ben slaughter you! When Lu Bu saw a military general with a big axe, he knew it was Xu Huang.

Xu Huang sped up his slapping of the war horse, and despised Lu Bu in his heart, where in the world would there be a fool who would stop and kill you when he heard you say this.

It's just that although Xu Huang avoided Lu Bu's assault, a large group of Liu Jun soldiers appeared in front of him, and the leader was Dian Wei.

Xu Huang was about to be revealed, and the two top generals under Liu Yu actually attacked him one after the other.

After Dian Wei set the fire, he waited here with his troops early.

As soon as he saw a large number of Cao troops running on the opposite side, Dian Wei shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

A rain of arrows poured at Xu Huang and them.

The Cao army led by Xu Huang was shot to death. Lü Bu arrived with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and more Cao troops were slaughtered and fell to the ground.

Dian Wei pulled out two halberds and slaughtered into Cao's army with a shout.

was caught between the two fierce generals, Xu Huang couldn't care so much, and directly broke through with part of his troops.

Dian Wei and Lü Bu did not pursue, and after they had killed all the remaining Cao troops, they continued to add materials to the fire to make it burn more violently.

The fire continued to burn, maybe today was destined to be Cao Cao's luckiest day, there was no trace of cool breeze on the mountain road, but there was a strong wind, and it was blowing towards Cao Cao.

Liu Yu rushed up with the army, felt the strong wind and direction, and said with a smile: "Cao Mengde, this is the sky that is going to kill you!" ”

Nearly half of Cao's camp was covered in flames. Cao Ren killed several soldiers who were stumbling around, stabilized his position, and the Cao soldiers began to extinguish the fire. It's a pity that the best time to extinguish the fire has been missed, and no matter how much the fire is extinguished, it will not work. Animals are naturally afraid of fire, and the war horses in Cao's camp were stimulated by the fire, struggled frantically, and finally broke free from the rope and rampage through the camp, increasing the difficulty of extinguishing the fire. Many horses with flames stuck to their bodies carried the flames to other camps.

Cao Ren was almost hit by a mad war horse, if it weren't for Cao Ren's personal soldiers who loyally protected the lord and pulled Cao Ren away and dodged the impact, Cao Ren might have been trampled to death by the war horse.

Seeing that the fire extinguishing was ineffective, the disgraced Cao Ren could only return to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, retreat, the big camp can't hold it anymore." ”

Cao Cao's other henchmen also came over one after another, and they also had a look of regret.

Cao Cao struggled for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "The whole army retreats!" Before retreating, all the camp tents were set on fire to block Liu Yu's pursuers. ”

Cao Cao's resourcefulness was extremely high, and Liu Yu used a fire to defeat him, and he used the same method to stop Liu Yu's pursuit.

Cao Cao's generals quickly organized their troops, but due to the fire, Cao's soldiers fled for their lives, and the generals could not gather all the soldiers.

After spending some time, Cao Cao also organized a part of the army. At the same time, Xu Huang, who successfully broke through, also joined Cao Cao.

"Retreat!" Cao Cao didn't want to delay any longer, since he had already failed, no matter how much he struggled, it would be in vain.

Cao Ren and others escorted Cao Cao to retreat and set fire to all the unlit tents.

Liu Yu led the army to kill, looked at the chaotic Cao army camp, and said: "Don't set fire again, surround the Cao camp, and definitely don't let Cao Cao escape!" I want to capture Cao Cao alive! Pass the order down, capture Cao Cao alive, and seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! ”

Liu Yu's army slowly prepared to surround Cao Ying, but after a while, it was found that the fire in Cao Ying was even stronger, and the entire Cao camp was burning. There was almost no one inside, and all the Cao soldiers who could escape escaped. These Cao troops escaped and surrendered on their knees.

Liu Yu welcomed this kind of thing, and at the same time ordered the whole army to prepare to prevent Cao Cao's dog from jumping off the wall. It's just that he found out that something was wrong, so many soldiers came out, but he didn't see Cao Cao and his heart, not even a shadow.

"Not good! Cao Cao's house ran away! Extinguish the fire and chase the past! Liu Yu understood.

Liu Jun's soldiers hurriedly began to extinguish the fire, but the entire Cao camp and the mountain road were burning, and no matter how they tried to extinguish it, it had no effect.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Cao Cao deliberately set the fire, and he just used his own way to govern his body and use fire to block the pursuit of our army." Chen Gong looked at it for a while and knew Cao Cao's plan.

didn't catch Cao Cao, Liu Yu was a little disappointed, and said, "Count him as fast." However, after this battle, Cao Cao may no longer be able to hold Xuchang. Pass the order to go down, put out the fire as soon as possible, and I will go straight to Xuchang! ”

Liu soldiers began to extinguish the fire, but now they can only wait for the fire to weaken a little bit.

Although Cao Cao retreated, he was very clear-headed. This time the failure was too big, so big that Cao Cao couldn't afford it. Cao Cao began to assign tasks, and he left a small group of soldiers at intervals on the way to retreat. These soldiers are not the queen of the palace, the only thing they have to do is to set fire to Liu Yu when they see him coming, and retreat after setting fire, using such measures, they can definitely delay Liu Yu for two to three days.

The relocation of the capital in Xuchang began to be implemented from the moment Cao Cao sent troops, but Cao Cao did not expect that he would be defeated so quickly. In order to avoid Liu Yu's pursuit, Cao Cao could only use such means.

After arranging these, Cao Cao retreated with confidence.

After this battle, the balance of victory was already tilted in favor of Liu Yu, and Cao Cao didn't know if he could rise again.

After Liu Yu waited for the fire in Cao's camp to be extinguished, he immediately led the army to pursue Cao Cao. Liu Yu thought in his heart that this time he would kill Cao Cao in one go.

But it didn't take long to go, and there was another fire ahead.

Liu Yu scolded: "Cao Mengde, you are shameless!" ”

After scolding, Liu Yu could only choose to stop, God knows how many such situations will be in front of him.
