Chapter 154: Burning the Company Camp
Leaving 1,000 people to guard Huaili, Cao Xing led the rest of his subordinates and 1,000 people led by Fa Zheng to Ma Teng's camp.
This time, when they were still twenty miles away from their destination, they encountered the guard post of the reconnaissance group, and naturally someone led them to the hiding place of Lu Bu and the others.
Lu Bu was very surprised when he saw Cao Xing, "Cao Xing, why did you come so quickly?" Didn't you follow Wen Yuan in Lantian? ”
"Back to the lord, General Zhang Liao received a letter from Fa Zheng asking for help and sent me to help, and I didn't stop all the way, and I didn't delay the big thing in the end!"
When Lu Bu heard that Fa Zheng wrote a letter asking for help, he was impressed by Fa Zheng, "Xiaozhi, why do you have only a thousand people left, Wang Quan?" What about the others? When did you arrive? ”
"Back to the lord, General Wang Quan has three thousand people, and there are other arrangements, you will know in a moment, we will arrive this afternoon."
"Arriving in the afternoon? Then why are you coming to see me now? In a little while, it will be dawn. Lu Bu still has a lot of doubts.
Fa Zheng was not in a hurry, showing that he was not in a hurry and was serious about his age, "Lord, General Cao Xing and I just rushed over from Huaili, Guo Yan has fled back to Chang'an, and Huaili City is under the control of our army. ”
Lu Bu heard that Guo Yan had fled back to Chang'an, and Huaili was occupied by the Bingzhou army, and his brain was a little unable to function, what was the situation?
"Xiaozhi, you really surprised me too much, to put it carefully, I want to hear what you have done in the past two days?"
Fa Zheng obeyed the order and reported his plans and arrangements to Lu Bu in detail one by one.
After hearing this, Lu Bu also clapped his legs and shouted, Fa Zheng can really be called a genius, it is difficult for him to come up with these strategies and ingenious arrangements in a short period of time, it is very powerful!
However, Lu Bu didn't forget to give him cold water for his broken shoes, so as not to make him flutter!
"Xiaozhi, your arrangements are really good, but some links can be done better, such as Guo Yan leading the army back to Huaili, you can completely put him in the city, and then close the door and fight the dog, you will definitely be able to completely annihilate Guo Yan and his 4,000 cavalry, which is much better than letting the tiger return to the mountain."
"When you are ambushing in the valley, you can make great use of the fire attack, instead of just lighting them, cutting down trees, laying grass, and pouring fire oil are easier than digging a pit, since the fire attack, you should set a big fire!"
The more Lu Bu said, the more beads of sweat appeared on Fazheng's forehead, and the excited smile just now was long gone.
Seeing the change in his expression, Lu Bu knew that his goal had been achieved, so he turned back and praised: "However, you are not bad, counting 30,000 people from 4,000 people, it is already very good, and it is worthy of praise." ”
"I will now announce that your position as a trainee staff officer can be regularized, and you will be the operational staff officer of the General Staff Department of the Bingzhou Army in the future, under the direct leadership of the military division, and a regiment-level cadre."
Fa Zheng is a young man after all, and when he heard Lu Bu praise him again and turn him into a regular again, he jumped up with joy.
Lu Bu didn't blame him, young people, they should have some vitality. He called Ma Chao over and introduced these two peers to each other, this is the pair of partners he chose, Ma Chao plus Fa Zheng, the twin stars of the future Bingzhou Legion.
Ma Chao is the person Lu Bu thinks is the closest to him in all aspects, and today he has verified Ma Chao's ability and character, and Fa Zheng has given him a surprise, superb resourcefulness and stability that does not match his age.
Lu Bu has never been so complacent as he is today! It's so exciting!
Lu Bu asked Fa Zheng again: "Then what do you want Wang Quan to do?" ”
"Back to the lord, I asked General Wang Quan to lead 3,000 people to quietly infiltrate Han Sui and Dong Huang's camp to burn their grain and grass, so that they could not continue."
"I will lead General Cao Xing's subordinates again, each of them will shoot two torches, pretend to be the army of the state, and scare away the combined forces of Han Sui and Dong Huang, so as to relieve the siege of General Ma Teng!"
Fa Zheng still replied a little proudly.
Lu Bu nodded, "The idea is good, the pattern is still small, since there is Cao Xing's cavalry brigade, why scare away the Han Sui coalition army?" Why can't you eat Han Sui's coalition forces? ”
"Someone, quickly contact Head Wang Quan, and ask him to come to see me, the plan has changed!" Lu Bu gathered everyone together and rearranged his arrangements.
At the fourth watch, Han Sui and Dong Huang were still fighting their spirits, urging their subordinates to storm Ma Teng's camp.
The arrow was ready to be sent, and after attacking all night, Ma Teng's camp was still as stable as a rock.
And Lu Bu, who has never appeared, made Han Sui and Dong Huang uncertain and speculated.
Guo Yan's reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, and many people had seen a bright fire in the night sky in the east before, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, but there was no movement after that.
Han Sui also sent someone to inquire about the news, but he went to several waves to explore the horses, but there was no return, which also made Han Sui feel more and more uneasy!
Even he had already decided that as soon as the morning dawned, he would withdraw his troops back to Liangzhou and continue to live his days as a grass king.
Suddenly, he smelled a thick smell of paste, and turned his head to look along the smell, only to see that in the distance, Dong Huang and his own camp were burning in the direction, and the smoke was blowing along the direction of the wind.
"Where is the fire? What are the guards doing to eat, go put out the fire! Han Sui shouted at his men.
He ordered Yan Xing to lead 10,000 soldiers of Han Sui's army, who had not yet played, to run towards the camp, quickly extinguish the fire, and burn the grain and grass, but it was not a joke.
By the time Yan Xing rushed back to the camp, the fire was already very strong, and the Han Sui army that stayed in the camp had already been killed.
Yan Xing was dumbfounded as soon as he looked at the location of the fire, which was the place where the grain and grass were stored.
He smelled the thick smell of fire oil and sulfur in the air, and the state army must have used the means of ignition to make such a big fire in such a short time.
Save a fart, what else is there to save? It's almost burning.
The soldiers sent to Dong Huang's camp reported that the grain and grass of Dong Huang's camp were also burned.
Yan Xing's heart was cold when he heard this, without food and grass, he couldn't fight this battle, and he would have to withdraw his troops soon, but since he was here, he still had to put out the fire and make a show!
was arranging manpower to fight the fire, and Yan Xing found that there was a group of cavalry from the state army in the distance, who was stopping to watch, pointing fingers while watching, as if assessing the effect of this fire?
Yan Xing ordered his lieutenant general to lead 3,000 people over to take them all down, so that he could get out of this evil breath in his chest, and if he had another one, he would go back and give an explanation!
He led the remaining 7,000 people to control the fire within his ability, and he couldn't let the fire continue like this.
Seeing the three thousand Xiliang cavalry rushing towards him, the cavalry of the state army began to retreat, turned around and ran.
The adjutant general saw that the Bingzhou army only had 1,000 horsemen, so he wanted to make meritorious contributions and capture them, but he did not participate in the previous battle of Maoling, so he did not understand the strength of the Bingzhou army.
