Chapter Seventy-Three: The Burning of Yuan's Relics (I)

"The final general will definitely complete the task." Cao Xuan said confidently.

When the Xuzhou army faced the Yanzhou army, it had the belief that it would win, and the Yanzhou army had failed one after another when fighting with the Xuzhou army, which also made the Xuzhou army have high morale when dealing with the war, otherwise why would there be soldiers in the army eager for war.

In the eyes of the officers and men of the Yanzhou army, the heads of the officers and soldiers of the Yanzhou army are all merits, and they can be rewarded for killing the enemy's soldiers.

"For specific things, the military advisor will tell you how to do it." Lu Budao.

Cao Xing is a good general, superb archery, and his ability to lead the army into battle is also remarkable, so Cao Xing is a suitable candidate to go to Changyi

As night fell, the two cavalry left the Xuzhou military camp and headed towards Changyi and Pengcheng respectively.

Changyi is the state rule of Yanzhou, and if the state rule is chaotic, what impact will it have on the operation of the Yanzhou army?

Lü Bu personally led 1,500 cavalry to Pengcheng and won the battle against the Yanzhou army, which was far from enough for Lü Bu, what he needed was the stability of Pengcheng.

With the support of the Chen family and the Mi family in Xuzhou, Lu Bu did not have much problem gaining a foothold in Xuzhou, and the key Chen family had been solved, not to mention the armies of Xiapi and Guangling.

"Report, scouts have found traces of enemy troops."

Lu Bu's heart moved, and he asked, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

After listening to the scout's account, Lu Bu sneered: "It seems that Liu Dai still has some means, and he even thinks of sending a large army to attack Pengcheng. ”

"Wen Hou, these people are just a group of rabble, not worth mentioning." A general said.

Since the battle with the Yanzhou Army, the war has been quite smooth, which has also made the officers and men in the army despise the Yanzhou Army very much.

Lu Bu said: "Since these people have been sent to the front, if you don't destroy them, won't you be a little sorry for them." ”

The surrounding cavalry burst into laughter when they heard Lu Bu's words.

The news that came out of the scouts continued to give Lu Bu a better understanding of the army that was preparing to raid Xuzhou, and in the Yanzhou army, the one who carried the banner of the word "Yuan", needless to say, must be Shanyang Taishou Yuan's legacy, but this person was a strong supporter of Yuan Shao.

"Keep an eye on the movements of enemy forces." Lu Bu ordered.

The scouts in the cavalry paid more attention to Yuan Yi and others, and dared to attack Pengcheng at such a time, such a mistake could not be forgiven.

Lü Bu personally led the scouts to inspect it, in order to ensure that he would be killed with one blow and make Yuan Yi pay a heavy price for his actions.

Yuan Yi led the army to Pengcheng, definitely wanting to make a surprise attack, day and night, and did not dare to leak any traces in the traces, and in terms of probing news, Yuan Yi did not even dare to send more scouts, for fear that the scouts would expose the traces of his own army when he inquired about the news.

In any case, Yuan Yi could not have imagined that at the critical moment of the Yanzhou war, Lü Bu would lead the cavalry back to Xuzhou.

The current situation in Xuzhou is indeed somewhat urgent, but with Xuzhou's troops, it can still be dealt with.

As night fell, the army under Yuan's command began to move.

About thirty miles from Pengcheng, Yuan Yi ordered his army to stop, and the closer they got to Heisei, the more cautious they became.

When the sky was light, the soldiers under the command of Yuan Yu began to sleep.

After a night of hurrying, the journey was not very long, but the soldiers in the army were very tired, and most of the soldiers threw their armor aside.

Afraid of revealing his whereabouts, the army did not even set up tents, and from a distance, it was as if this army had experienced a fiasco.

With an army of 5,000 under his command, Yuan Yi was confident that he would directly attack Pengcheng.

Although Lü Bu said that he entered Xuzhou with a strong attitude, there were many resistance forces in Xuzhou, and Yuan Yi wanted to use these forces to deal with Lü Bu, as long as Lü Bu lost Pengcheng, the Yanzhou army would inevitably win the battle.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yu slept very relieved.

The scouts scattered around the periphery of the army's hiding place were easily solved by the soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and the soldiers under the command of Yuan Yu did not expect that there would be a team following behind them.

Many of the soldiers who were sleeping soundly coughed violently.

One of the generals looked at the smoke in the woods and shouted, "Oh no, there's a fire, hurry up and put out the fire." Secretly, he was scolding, and he thought that some soldier must have accidentally set the woods on fire.

The weather is dry, and if a fire breaks out in the woods, the army hiding in the woods will surely suffer.

The smoke became denser and denser, and many soldiers panicked, they didn't even pick up the blades and armor around them, they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The fire wanted to burn fiercely, and the crackling sound sounded from time to time, and there was a strong formation of Xuzhou cavalry on the periphery of the woods.

There was no mercy in the expressions of these cavalrymen, and it was the enemy of the Xuzhou army hidden in the woods, and the most important thing was to destroy the enemy.

A fresh breeze blew, and many cavalrymen smelled the faint smell of meat, but the expressions of these cavalrymen were full of disgust, and they knew where the smell of meat came from.

The fire became more and more ferocious, and the screams of soldiers could be heard from time to time in the forest.

Finally, some soldiers rushed out of the woods, but what awaited them was a slaughter from the Xuzhou cavalry.

"Taishou, the big thing is not good, outside the woods, there are cavalry guards of the Xuzhou army, and after our sergeants rushed out, they were killed by the enemy." The lieutenant shouted hastily.

Yuan Yi's face changed greatly, and there were cavalry of the Xuzhou Army outside the woods, which means that their traces were exposed?

This made Yuan Yi a little incredulous: "Are you sure it's the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army?" At present, the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army is all on the battlefield in Yanzhou, how can they appear here? ”

"Could it be that there are other cavalry under Lu Bu's command?" Du Wei said.

Yuan Yi shook his head: "Have you ever talked about finding out how many enemy troops there are?" ”

The smoke in the woods is getting louder and louder, and if you don't get out of the woods as soon as possible, your soldiers will suffer even more damage.

"There are about thousands of people, and the woods are densely packed with cavalry. ”

The lieutenant just casually said a number, and said that the soldiers who went out basically had no way to live, so in such a panicked situation, how could the soldiers probe the number of enemy troops in more detail.

"There are so many cavalry? Could it be that Lu Bu sensed that something was wrong and sent cavalry back to Pengcheng? Yuan Yi wondered, how many cavalry there are in the Xuzhou army, Yuan Yi still has a certain understanding.

"Taishou, what should I do?" Du Wei didn't want to listen to Yuan Yi's analysis, if he couldn't get away as soon as possible, once the fire became more intense, everyone would have to stay here.
