Chapter 0527: Dong Zhuo was frightened
The fire once again burned on the land of Guishuang, and this time it was different from the last time, under the carefully prepared various items, the fire here was even greater, blazing, reflecting the red sky, Cao Cao stood on the top of the mountain, looking at this scene from a distance, but it was extremely calm, this fire, will cost the lives of tens of thousands of enemies, they will die in pain.
But Cao Cao is not a good person, he is an extremely complex person, he is extremely concerned about his friends, confidants, and closeness, even if Yuan Shu and the like, betrayed him in the temple, guided the ministers to oppose the new policy, and even killed his uncle, he never resented Yuan Shu, even if since then, he has alienated Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu is still his friend in his heart.
As for the rest of the people, he seems to be very indifferent, whether it is the people of the Han Dynasty or the people of Guishuang, he doesn't care much, those people have nothing to do with him, of course, he is still much better than Jia Xu, in Jia Xu's eyes, maybe everyone has nothing to do with him, even if it is Xiaoyong Battalion, the Son of Heaven never worries that he will make friends with his henchmen.
This burning fire frightened the Guishan people around Cao Cao, they looked at the fire in the distance in horror, fell to the ground, and kept muttering something, Cao Cao just sneered and looked at the soldiers around him, he did not fulfill his promise.
He is a noble person, and sometimes, he can abandon his personal feelings and serve the public for the sake of his great ambitions, while he is also a despicable person, for the sake of personal feelings, and sometimes, he can also raise the butcher's knife high and go back on his word.
Sun Ce led the cavalry, around the camp tent, all the enemy besieged in the camp tent, as long as someone came out, immediately was to chase and kill, looking at the burning camp tent, he still had some bitterness in his heart, at the same time, he had some admiration for Cao Cao, these are all the net worth of the Han army, all the grain and grass baggage, spare camp tents and the like.
Cao Cao was very resolute, did not leave any materials for the Han army, all as bait, as a strategy to destroy the enemy, and threw it here, Sun Ce has never understood how his father would agree to Cao Cao's seemingly crazy decision, perhaps, this is the gap between himself and his father, and when he thinks about it, he will be able to serve as the commander of the army like his father.
He continued to encircle and suppress the enemy here, the excitement in his heart at first, under this tragic scene, gradually disappeared, he watched tens of thousands of elite soldiers, swallowed by this merciless flame, wailing helplessly, and finally disappeared, smelling the pungent smell from the flames, Sun Ce's expression gradually became a little solemn.
On the other side, Sun Jian has already begun to attack the Guishan camp, this is all Cao Cao's strategy, they have less than two thousand people, no matter what, they will not be able to stop the strong attack of the Guishan army, even if the whole army is destroyed, it is impossible to keep them here, when he is still worried about this matter, Cao Cao has a different idea, speaking of which, Sun Jian was frightened by Cao Cao at that time.
He was still thinking about how to keep these people, but Cao Cao was thinking about how to let these enemies be wiped out and stay here forever.
So, he put forward that crazy plan, leaving all the supplies in the camp tent, setting up more camp tents, preparing for the fire attack, and covering up the smell with other items, Cao Cao took the people, pretending to be the main force of the Han army, and fled here, so that the Kushan people could see it, while Sun Jian took the real main force, ambushed and waited for the success of the fire attack.
Cao Cao left behind dozens of men, most of whom were remnants, who remained in the tent and waited for the Kushan army to arrive and die with them.
Sun Jian wanted to wait until the Guishan army was panicked under the fire, and then directly attacked the camp and captured the King of Guishan alive.
During this period, as long as anything went wrong, the Han army was immediately wiped out, for example, Guishan sent cavalry to pursue Cao Cao, perhaps, the Guishan scouts found Sun Jian, perhaps, the Guishan people did not enter the Han army camp, but Sun Jian did not expect that the war would be so smooth, the Guishan general actually asked the whole army to search for supplies in the camp tent, he or wanted to inspire the soldiers and boost the morale of the army, but he did not expect that this brought him destruction.
Tens of thousands of people were confined to the tents, and even here, Sun Jian seemed to be able to hear the howls of the soldiers.
In the Guishan camp, there were less than 3,000 people, as the garrison army to protect the King of Guishan, and they did not expect that the Han army would raid, and they did not even make any preparations, Sun Jian personally held a long knife and rushed into the enemy camp, the Guishan people hurriedly met the battle, Sun Jian waved the long knife in his hand, and a head flew out, Sun Jian roared angrily and continued to pounce!
And next to him was Xu Chu, the most courageous man under his command, who had been following Sun Jian's side, and the two of them led the soldiers, like sharp knives, piercing the enemy's heart!
These stayed, guarding the soldiers of the King of Guishan, and at the same time the soldiers who were the most loyal to the King of Guishan, for the safety of the King of Guishan, these people also rushed forward without fear of death, and resisted each other with death, and actually stopped Sun Jian's charge in a short period of time, the two sides fought together, Sun Jian even cut down six or seven people, and was also a little tired, Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward, took his place, and rampaged among the enemies, and there were a lot more openings on his body.
Surrounded by several soldiers, the King of Guishan hurriedly fled to the rear, Sun Jian saw this scene in his eyes, but his heart was extremely anxious, he had no choice, he was stopped by many soldiers, he roared angrily: "The one who killed the King of Guishan is the captain!! As soon as the words fell, I saw a feather arrow fly out of the army, passing through the Kushan soldiers who were clustered around, and hitting the heart of the Kushan King!
King Kushan spurted blood and fell forward, and the soldiers around him roared angrily and helped him up, but King Kushan was already weak.
"Huh!"
Another feathered arrow flew out, still passing through the soldiers, and struck the Kushan King in the back again, and the Kushan King raised his head, but could not make a sound.
Sun Jian was stunned, who shot this, as if the Guishan soldiers were deliberately dodging, this arrow from an incredible angle, right in the middle of the King of Guishan, even, or both arrows, Sun Jian has not yet reacted, the third arrow has already flown out, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow, the arrow is shot on the body of the King of Guishan, and the entire back of the King of Guishan is not intact!!
At this moment, the Guishan soldiers all rushed to the Han army, but Sun Jian was no longer worried in his heart, what he was worried about before was that the King of Guishan escaped, and now his appearance is certain to die, there is absolutely no way to live, the two sides have been fighting bloodily for more than an hour, the entire Guishan camp has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, no one in Guishan surrendered, and all died in battle.
Around Sun Jian, there were less than 700 people who could stand.
Sun Jian looked at the camp tent in the distance, the camp tent was still burning, there was no howl, even the soldiers who fled outside, they didn't see it, Sun Jian sat down a little tired, Xu Chu stood on his body, covered in blood, some of them couldn't stand steadily, there were soldiers helping him deal with his injuries, Sun Jian gasped, looking at the corpse of King Guishan on the side.
This guy was still quite lucky, and he died like this, avoiding the torture of being captured alive and humiliated.
"General!" A soldier stood in front of Sun Jian.
Sun Jian looked up, this person was relatively young, not tall, but his arms were thick and extremely powerful, Sun Jian recognized this person, he only remembered that he was his own soldier, but he didn't know his name, he looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"General Fangcai's words, the one who killed the king of Guishan, is the captain... Can it be true? ”
"Oh? You're the one who shoots the arrow?? Sun Jian was shocked and hurriedly asked.
"It's down there, under is the commander of the army under Captain Xu Chu, a native of Yiyang, called Wei Yan, alias Wen Chang, just me shot King Guishan!" The man arched his hand.
Sun Jian smiled and said; "Okay, no, I don't know that there are such warriors under my command, it's good."
"General, when will I be a lieutenant?" Wei Yan asked again.
Sun Jian said: "When Dong Gong comes, I will recommend you to him..."
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! The man laughed and said quickly.
Sun Jian nodded, and let him retreat, although this person is brave, but it seems that the utilitarian heart is too strong, however, Sun Jian didn't think that there was anything, as a general, it is necessary to desire military merit, otherwise, who wants to follow wholeheartedly?
In the evening, Cao Cao rushed here, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, also returned, the fire in the camp tent had also stopped, leaving the soldiers around, the three of them went to the camp tent to watch, the entire ground was pitch black, they also saw such a scene for the first time, looking at the disgusting pile on the ground, Sun Ce's face was pale, and he almost vomited.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian were calm, and Cao Cao even said with a smile: "This fire can be said to have burned the entire Guishuang." ”
Sun Ce didn't understand, but Sun Jian nodded and asked, "Gong Cao, what should I do next?" ”
In his heart, he has regarded Cao Cao as the main general, after all, the strategy of the entire campaign was formulated by Cao Cao and personally commanded, he has proven his military talent, and deserves Sun Jian's official word, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said: "Such a big victory, the northern part of Flower Thorn Mo, Sogdia, can be in the bag, but this Great Xia, and the south of Flower Thorn M, our baggage can't keep up, and it is a little difficult to govern..."
"Oh? In Cao Gong's opinion? ”
"Since you can't take it, then let the fire burn more thoroughly, so as to cut off Guishan's idea of attacking Sogdia again...."Cao Cao said coldly, paused, and said: "It can be regarded as avenging the great revenge of the Xiaoyong battalion!" ”
Sun Jian nodded, already knowing in his heart what Cao Cao wanted to do.
...............
Dong Zhuo led the army all the way to attack, these prisoners, saying that they wanted to lead the way for the army, in fact, they all had their own thoughts, and took the army to deliberately detour the original way, if it was not for interrogating the fugitives along the road, Dong Zhuo would have been deceived for a longer time, so the angry Dong Zhuo executed them and let these fugitives lead the way for them, so they finally rushed to the southern territory of Hua Thorn Zimo.
As soon as he stepped here, Dong Zhuo was stunned.
There are ruins everywhere, there are traces of burning, along the way, there is nothing but ruins and corpses, what happened here, was it done by King Kushan? Do you want to cut off our army's supply of food and grass? Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, and rushed all the way towards Great Xia, until he arrived in Great Xia, what he saw was still such a scene, with dark ruins everywhere.
And when Cao Cao and Sun Jian led the soldiers to appear in front of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was already a little confused.
"Where's the Kushan army?"
"And, what's going on here?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Dong Gong, we have defeated the Guishan army, and the King of Guishan is dead... Here, it is the Kushan people who want to cut off the supply of food and grass to our army..."
Looking at this smile, Dong Zhuo, who has always been arrogant, actually felt a trace of fear in his heart.
