Chapter 53 The Yellow Turban Camp was burned

"Yu respectfully listens to the teachings of the Lord!" Guan Yu stood up and bowed!

He was the first person to follow Liu Fan, and he was the first subordinate recruited by Liu Fan.

Liu Fan is deliberately sharpening Guan Yu's arrogance, because arrogance can blind people's eyes and make people proud and complacent. But Liu Fan didn't want Guan Yu to lose the kind of invincible heart and the indomitable momentum towards the enemy.

"Strategically defy the enemy, tactically value the enemy!" Liu Fan said word by word.

Guan Yu groaned and nodded heavily.

In the overall situation, we must have the belief that we will win, the heart to be sure of victory, and be cautious in concrete operations, and be cautious in the face of the abyss. Although it is one-sided, it is the real way to do it.

"Okay, Yun Chang should go back and rest early! Tomorrow will be a tough battle. Liu Fan said to Guan Yu.

"No!" Guan Yu withdrew from Liu Fan's tent.

After Guan Yu left, Liu Fan sat silently for a while, and after a while, Liu Fan got up, took out the Qingxuan Sword, picked up the lights and looked at it for a long time, and then sighed deeply.

"It's not what I want, I have to do it!"

The next day, at dawn, after the soldiers had eaten a good meal, they polished their weapons and fed their horses.

The sun was shining three poles, and the mighty cavalry walked out of Xingyang County and rushed to the southwest.

Four or five hours later, the scout came on horseback to report.

"Captain, it's only about fifty miles away from the county seat of Changshe!" The scout reported.

"Soldiers, saddle their horses, rest here for a few hours, and set off again at dusk!"

Liu Fan ordered his men and horses to stay where they were for the time being.

The white horse passes through the gap, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is dusk!

Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to march into the Changshe.

He did not let the soldiers run at full speed on their horses, but at a moderate pace, neither fast nor slow.

In the evening, the scout came to report: "Less than ten miles away from the Changshe, if you go further, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely find it."

Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to stop for the time being, he rode to the middle of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "The enemy army is 100,000, and our army is 2,000, can you be afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers responded loudly, and morale was high.

"Okay, we will win this battle!" Liu Fan once again loudly encouraged the soldiers: "There are strange changes in the soldiers, they are not outnumbered, and now the thieves are camped according to the grass, and it is easy to become a storm." If it burns by night, the enemy will be in great trouble. When the soldiers in the city see it, they will go out of the city and attack our army before and after, and Tiandan's success can be achieved! ”

"Victory, victory!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly, although most of them didn't know who Liu Fan was talking about? But in their hearts, their Lord will be omnipotent!

"Ten miles away, tea is coming. Light all the torches! When you are about to reach the local camp, throw the torch into the local barracks, or on the grass and trees, and then all retreat, waiting for the soldiers in our army city to respond! Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to get ready.

"No!" The soldiers received orders to light their torches with each other.

When all the soldiers were ready, Liu Fan gave the last order.

"March!"

The soldiers hung their weapons on the sides, holding the reins in one hand and holding torches high in the other.

The Yellow Turban Army suddenly heard the sound of rolling horses' hooves in the camp, and the leader of the Yellow Turban hurriedly asked people to go up to the lookout to investigate the situation. At the same time, the Yellow Turban soldiers were prepared for battle.

With such a dense sound of horses' hooves, could it be that the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?

When the Yellow Turban soldiers went up to the lookout, they saw a fiery dragon approaching them quickly, and their faces turned pale with fright. At this time, Liu Fan's cavalry was less than five miles away from the Yellow Turban barracks.

"Enemy attack!" The Yellow Turban soldiers on the lookout roared with all their might.

Suddenly, many people were at a loss.

"Our army has 100,000, what are you afraid of? They are not yet arrayed to meet the enemy. A strong man in his thirties reprimanded.

He is Peng Tuo, the deputy general of the Yellow Turban Army, the main force in the East.

Peng Tuo is also a courageous person, otherwise he would not be able to become Bocai's lieutenant general.

Slowly, Liu Fan's cavalry troops got closer and closer to the Yellow Turban camp.

"The officers and soldiers are all cavalry, and all of them have retreated to the camp for me, the camp has a railing, and the horses can't cross it." Peng Tuo said in a deep voice. When the number of enemy troops is not known, he does not want to act rashly.

All the Yellow Turban soldiers retreated to the camp and closed the gates.

The Yellow Turban soldiers' weapons were very rudimentary, with swords, guns, swords, and spears, of varying lengths, and there were few archers and Yellow Turbans who could wear leather armor, and some even had farm tools in their hands.

The Yellow Turbans were outnumbered, and at first they captured the county, and the weapons taken out of the warehouses were not distributed to everyone.

"The other party thought that we were going to step on the camp, and they all retreated into the village! The enemy generals are really mediocre. Yuanfu and Yunchang, you two led the soldiers to disperse and threw torches on the weeds. Liu Fan instructed Guan Yu and Zhou Cang.

"No!" Guan Yu and Zhou Cang responded together.

More than 2,000 cavalry instantly turned into three teams, one of which still rushed straight to the gate of the village, and the other two teams ran from the direction of the east and west camps.

Peng Tuo wondered, he didn't know what the officers and soldiers were going to do, why were they divided into three teams? Judging by their numbers, there are only a few thousand, do they want to attack the three Zhaimen together?

Even if it's a cavalry, it can't be so rampant!

Liu Fan rode the ink unicorn to a distance of dozens of meters from the gate of the village, and he took the lead in throwing the torch in his hand into the camp. Then he reined in his horse and turned around and left.

The soldiers in the back were also like Liu Fan, and they threw their torches at the Yellow Turban military camp with all their might, and some of them were not strong enough and threw them outside.

However, it is overgrown with weeds, and as long as you can throw it on the weeds, the effect is almost the same.

It's the beginning of May, and although there is grass everywhere here, last year's grass leaves did not wither due to the short period of time, and turned into nutrients for the earth.

These hay leaves are flammable.

It's a pity that the moon is bright and the stars are scarce today, and there is no strong wind to help.

As the saying goes, a spark can start a prairie fire! Liu Fan's team of thousands of soldiers threw torches together, and the scene was very spectacular. These torches are no less threatening to the Yellow Turbans than a thousand armies marching into the camp.

Peng's complexion changed drastically! Looking at the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army again, he panicked, and he hurriedly shouted: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and put out the fire. ”

The Yellow Turbans hurriedly carried out firefighting operations. Due to the large number of people, the flames inside were indeed extinguished a lot. But the flames outside the camp were completely ignited, and it was too difficult to extinguish such a fire without preparation!

Over there, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang also led the soldiers to throw torches all over the Yellow Turban Camp.

The entire Yellow Turban barracks suddenly became chaotic, and the army formed without unified training was like this, and once it was chaotic, it would be difficult to organize it again.
