The trees on the top of the mountain were put down by Lu Bu and the soldiers, and when viewed from a distance, the hill looked like a Mediterranean hairstyle with hair on the bald top in the middle.

The forests on the mountain are not luxuriant, so the flag waving in the wind can be seen by people from afar.

There is no road to the top of the mountain, only through the trees.

Xiahoudun and others took 2,000 Cao troops to climb the hillside.

All they had to do was look up to see the tattered battle flags fluttering in the wind on the top of the mountain.

"Speed up the march and get a reward for destroying Lu Bu!" Xiahou, who was at the forefront, roared.

Cao Jun quickened their pace, if it weren't for the difficulty of the mountain road, they would have launched a charge long ago.

Seeing that he was about to reach the mountainside, Xiahoudun, who was rushing to the front, suddenly felt that something was tripped under his feet.

Just as he was about to lift his foot, he heard the sound of a "thump" of a tree branch in his ears.

With the sound of ejection, a few wooden sticks sharpened into javelins flew out of the bushes.

Xiahoudun said secretly: "Not good! ”

Wielding his halberd, he struggled to shoot javelins from all sides.

Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan were also in a hurry at this time with the flying javelins.

The soldiers of the Cao army who followed up the mountain could not have such exquisite martial arts as them.

Javelins flew in all directions, and many Cao soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

In the chaos, some Cao soldiers hid behind the big trees in a panic in order to avoid the javelins flying in the air.

Some people didn't have to run a few steps before they suddenly fell into a trap with spikes.

After a few moments, the last javelin was nailed into the soft dirt.

The woods echoed with the wails of the wounded Cao Jun.

Blood splattered from nearby trees and on the ground with thick layers of fallen leaves.

After counting the number of people, there were dozens of Cao Jun who were killed and injured by the trap.

Looking up at the top of the mountain with the halberd, the corner of Xiahoudun's one-eyed eye twitched a few times.

"Leave a few people to take care of the wounded, and the others will follow me up the mountain!" He roared and rushed to the top of the hill first.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Bu listened.

The hill wasn't very high, but he still couldn't hear the sound from the mountainside.

Just as he was calculating the timing of the fire, he heard a shout of killing coming from the mountainside.

Cao Jun launched a charge.

The direction where they shouted was right on the mountainside where the traps were arranged.

The trap worked, and Lu Bu did not hesitate any longer, and shouted to the soldiers on the top of the mountain: "Light a fire and heat them!" ”

When the trees were felled, the soldiers smeared pine oil on each trunk.

The grease was not much, but it was enough to ignite the thick trunk.

The trunks of the trees, cut into rolling logs, were set on fire, and the soldiers kicked them down the hill with all their might.

The logs tumbled down the slope of the hillside, and some of them crashed into the trees they encountered along the way.

The flames licked the trunks of the trees and the dead leaves on the ground around them, and the flames spread rapidly.

The charging Cao Jun didn't pay attention to the so many fireballs rolling down the hillside, and by the time they reacted, many trees had been ignited around them.

Some rolling logs flew past the Cao soldiers with flames.

Cao Jun, who was almost hit, could even hear the "whirring" sound of the flames being stirred by the wind as they flew by.

The fire is like a gluttonous glutton, devouring everything it encounters along the way.

Looking down at the bottom of the mountain, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth.

The trap was set up just to provoke Cao Jun.

He knew very well that the trap was simply unlikely to cause too many casualties to Cao's army.

To annihilate this Cao army, you have to rely on setting fire to the mountains!

But if Cao's army was not provoked, he would not have launched a strong attack too soon.

After all, they set fire down from the top of the mountain, and if they don't speed up the mountain, the mountain fire will ignite, and there will be a chance to calmly retreat.

The fires spread, and 2,000 Cao troops were surrounded by flames.

The flames engulfed the panicked Cao soldiers, and many Cao soldiers who were burning with flames were running around miserably, and in a panic, their hands were still beating the flames on their bodies.

The running Cao Jun was like a fast-moving fireball, bringing fire to the places that had not yet burned.

The flames were raging, and Xiahoudun rushed down the hillside with some Cao troops.

Continuing to charge upwards is nothing more than self-defeating, and going down the mountain is their only option.

Running down the hill, Xiahoudun extinguished the flames on his body, and Xiahouyuan, who was blackened next to him, gasped and said to him, "Brother...... Your eyebrows ......"

Touching his brows, Xiahoudun felt a hot pain.

He didn't have to see it with his own eyes, he knew that his eyebrows were burned......

Cao Jun, who ran down the mountain with them, looked like mud monkeys that had just been drilled out of the coal pile, and his face and body were all charcoal-colored.

The fire was raging on the hillside, and the howl of the escaped Cao army was faintly heard in the flames.

After counting the people around him, Xiahoudun found that only three or four hundred of the two thousand soldiers escaped......

"General Xiahou, what should I do?" Glancing at the soldiers who were demoralized, Li Dian asked Xiahoudun.

"When the fire is extinguished, we'll kill it back!" Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and said.

"In my opinion, let's withdraw." Li Dian said: "A fire has already burned the soldiers, we only have so many people left, it is impossible to attack from the bottom up!" ”

"Is Man Cheng afraid?" Xiahoudun asked with a glare.

"I have followed Cao Gong for many years, when have you ever been afraid?" Pointing to the top of the mountain, Li Dian said: "Lu Bu is brave, General Xiahou doesn't know. If you don't have an advantage, you have to attack, where are we going to capture him? It's just sending his head to be chopped off! ”

Clenching his fists, Xiahou glared angrily at the top of the mountain, and the only remaining single eye spewed with strong hatred.

"Brother, Mancheng is right." Xiahou Yuan also persuaded on the side: "Let's go back first, and then make plans after seeing Cao Gong!" ”

Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan both advocated withdrawing, and Xiahou Yuan shouted unwillingly: "Let's withdraw!" ”

The hillside caught fire, and Cao Cao saw it from afar.

"What are Yuan letting them do?" Looking at the burning hillside in the distance, Cao Cao muttered, "Could it be that he plans to set fire to Lu Bu?" ”

Standing behind him, Guo Jia frowned and stroked his beard.

He didn't answer Cao Cao's words.

It's just a wildfire, and there's nothing to see.

"Lord, General Xiahou, they're back!" A guard ran to Cao Cao's side, bowed down and said.

"It's broken!" Cao Cao shouted: "This fire is definitely not set by Yuan!" ”

After a while, Xiahoudun and others came to him.

Their faces were covered in soot, confirming Cao Cao's suspicions.

"How many people are back?" He didn't ask about the outcome of the game, Cao Cao only asked how many men and horses they had brought back.

"Three or four hundred!" Xiahoudun lowered his head and responded.

"Lu Bu has the courage and no strategy, how could he think of such a method?" Furrowing his brows, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

"Ever since he went out of the city to burn grain and grass, I felt that something was wrong." Guo Jia said uncertainly: "Could it be Chen Gong's idea?" ”

"If a fire breaks out in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to extinguish it in two or three days!" Cao Cao said: "Our army does not have enough military rations, and if we don't break the city again, we really have to withdraw." ”
