Chapter 891: Liu Bei was defeated
Ma Chao carried Liu Bei's neck collar, and rushed forward desperately under the broken back of his brothers, and there was a camp in front of him, which was where he hoarded grain and grass, and Ma Chao's direction was also here, he needed to find a place to gain a firm foothold, as long as he stood firm and gathered the rout, he could immediately launch a counterattack again.
But his wishful thinking collapsed in front of his eyes in the blink of an eye, because in the torrential rain, another Cao army rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, this camp of grain and grass was broken.
This Cao army is Zhu Shuo in Chen Guocheng.
Zhu Shuo saw that the weather was dark and the torrential rain was about to pour down, so he immediately ordered all the soldiers to be ready to go and bring enough fierce fire oil.
At that time, all the generals were curious, when the heavy rain was about to fall, would there be any fighting? Is your boss dazed?
However, Zhu Shuo ignored everyone's complaints and resolutely gave the order.
So all the soldiers were neatly clothed and stood in the dark and dreary world, waiting for an inexplicable ending.
Zhu Shuo also changed out of the scribe's clothes, put on a black armor, picked up a real sword, walked up to the city, looked at the endless Liu Bei camp opposite, and silently waited for his friend.
The thunder sounded, the lightning pierced the dark and heavy cloud curtain, the wind rose, and there was a drop of rain the size of a bean, which smashed on Zhu Shuo's steel helmet, making a crisp sound.
Zhu Shuo raised his head and opened his arms towards the dark clouds in the sky: "The storm is coming more violently." ”
At this time, a soldier brought an umbrella at an inopportune time and covered it above Zhu Shuo's head, Zhu Shuo pushed him away, and then still opened his arms and sent the most sincere prayer to the sky.
Drop after drop of bean-sized raindrops fell down and smashed on his pale and tired face, and finally as he wished, the torrential rain poured down, and Zhu Shuo laughed wildly in this torrential rain.
All the soldiers in the city looked up at this nervous commander, they really didn't know what was ridiculous about their commander in the face of such a storm, and they laughed so crazy.
"God, don't stop, don't stop." Zhu Shuo turned his face up like this, greeted the rainstorm like a waterfall, and roared and prayed to the sky frantically.
He didn't talk to Sima Yi, but he could feel all of Sima Yi's thoughts, so he had the madness he had now, looking forward to this earth-shattering change.
Liu Bei besieged himself for nearly two months, the city has already been cut off from food and grass, the soldiers are exhausted, if there is no change, the only thing he can do is to either stick to his loyalty, take the people of the city, and starve to death in the city, or send out a compassionate heart with the old and young soldiers of the city, out of the city to surrender Liu Bei.
As long as he hands over this city, it is equivalent to opening a huge opening for Liu Bei, Liu Bei's 100,000 troops will swarm in, and in the blink of an eye, Yuzhou will change hands, and the entire Cao Cao group will completely collapse.
Standing in the rainstorm, Zhu Shuo silently prayed to Sima Yi, hoping that he could use this ghost weather to turn the tide of the entire battle as he imagined.
The heavens and the earth were vast, and nothing could be seen from a foot away, but Zhu Shuo still stood tenaciously at the head of the city, waiting for the news that he thought should come.
Time passed little by little, and Liu Bei's company's camp, which was shrouded in heavy rain, was still quiet as if dead, but Zhu Shuo did not give up and still stood at the head of the city and waited.
In the tormented waiting, in the sound of lightning, thunder and torrential rain, a strange sound suddenly reached Zhu Shuo's ears, which made him stunned, and then ecstasy.
Almost crawling down the city wall, standing in front of the soldiers who had already been drenched like chickens, Zhu Shuo ordered loudly: "Open the city gate, we will attack." ”
The only remaining 10,000 horses, as Zhu Shuo rushed out of the city gate, his target was not Liu Bei's base camp, because he knew that with his 10,000 soldiers, rushing into Liu Bei's camp would not play any role at all, he firmly believed that his friend would definitely be able to solve Liu Bei's army, and his target was Liu Bei's deputy battalion - the heavy grain and grass camp.
The reason for such an action is that Zhu Shuo understands that with Sima Yi's 20,000 tigers and leopards, it is simply impossible to annihilate Liu Bei's 100,000 army and 100,000 people, and the final result of the battle is to completely defeat Liu Bei's 100,000 army and his 100,000 people.
As long as the defeated men and horses have time, in a short period of time, they will gather again and form a combat force again, so that Liu Bei will still gather into a strong army and continue to fight here with himself.
But someone can, if there is no food and grass, even if those routs are gathered, it will be useless in the end, only then can such a battle be considered a real victory.
Therefore, Zhu Shuo chose to attack Liu Bei's baggage camp.
Liu Bei's baggage camp was only a small number of people left, most of whom were people, so Zhu Shuo succeeded, and when he rushed out of the rain with an army of 10,000, those people scattered in a hurry.
So, in front of Liu Bei, who fled in embarrassment, Zhu Shuo poured all the fierce fire oil brought by the entire army on the mountains of grain and grass, and then in front of Liu Bei's desperate expression, Zhu Shuo ignited the fierce fire oil.
The fire burst out and burned the entire baggage camp into a sea of fire, but the torrential rain not only did not extinguish the fires, but because of the rain flowing in all directions, the fire oil was carried in all directions, and the entire baggage camp was completely burned, and the smoke that flew up was connected with the dark clouds in the sky, and it was impossible to tell where the smoke was and where the dark clouds were.
Seeing that his last hope was destroyed by a fire, Liu Bei finally sighed, broke free from Ma Chao, who was carrying his neck, jumped on a war horse without an owner, and then said indifferently to Ma Chao who was following him: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so it is not undefeated, let's retreat, and then at the mountain pass in front, set up our banner, and gather those soldiers who fled from the route." Then he looked into the distance unwillingly for a while: "Yuzhou, it's no longer ours." ”
This is a big victory that surprised everyone, this is a perfect, classic way to win more with less, in the case of all the conspiracies were understood by the other party, in the end, Sima Yi took advantage of the coming day, started the first battle of his life Dai Jun, and shiningly stepped onto the stage of history.
From this moment on, a dazzling star of famous generals began to shine in this Han world.
