The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, and a damp wind blew through the vast Hetao grassland, causing a trace of gloom to rise in Lu Bu's heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Is this a prelude to rain?
Looking at the dense clouds in the sky, Lu Bu frowned, and had a bad premonition.
"My lord, the people of the Yue Clan have retreated." Han De came to Lu Bu's side, looked at Lu Bu, who was not good-looking, and said in a deep voice.
"The soldiers and horses of the Yue clan didn't take them away, did they?" Lu Bu frowned, this Yue Clan King is not very capable, he is not greedy, but he has no courage, it is really difficult to take on a heavy responsibility.
"No, the king of the Yue clan wanted to take people away, but I didn't let them, those Yue people now look at the lord like their gods, without the lord's order, even the words of the king of the Yue clan will not work." Han Dehe laughed.
After hesitating for a moment, looking at Lu Bu's expression, Han De said softly: "Lord, we have been preparing here for three days, if it really rains, I am afraid that our efforts will be wasted." ”
"If this is the case, we will go back to Xiliang first, and then regroup in the future, and then come to Hetao to fight a decisive battle with the Huns, this time, we can't just forget it!" Lu Bu snorted a little depressed, this Hetao grassland is the only way for the Huns to return, a wilderness, Lu Bu wanted to use a fire to completely burn the vitality of the Huns, but the sky is not beautiful, cut the grass for three days, if this heavy rain comes down, three days of preparation will be in vain.
Hearing this, Han De stopped talking, and silently rode his horse to stand behind Lu Bu, looking at the drowsy sky silently.
"Newspaper~"
In an urgent report, a Pegasus came to Lu Bu and saluted on horseback: "Lord, the Hun brigade appeared fifty miles away, and now it has entered the Hetao grassland. ”
"Order, prepare!" Lu Bu let out a heavy snort, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "The north and south will start setting fire first, burning off their retreat and forcing them here!" ”
"Whoa!" Tanma agreed, and went to give the order.
Lu Bu looked up at the sky, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Tell your brothers, prepare to fight, if God really doesn't let the Huns die, I will also give these Hu dogs who dare to invade my Han family a lesson that will never be forgotten!" ”
"Whoa!" Hearing this, Han De said in a high-pitched voice and began to assemble troops.
……
In order to avoid being broken by the Han people who invaded the Hetao, Liu Bao did not return to the Hetao directly, but after waiting for the other three remnants of the army, he joined forces and gathered 50,000 troops before marching towards the Hetao grassland.
Liu Bao sat on horseback, looking at the mighty army, as the temporary commander of this army, at this moment Liu Bao was not happy anyway, this time to send troops to Xiliang, almost all the main forces of the Huns, 100,000 troops, it sounds very powerful, but it is precisely because of this male army that the Huns will gain a foothold in the Hetao and become the well-deserved king among so many ethnic groups in the Hetao, so that Xianbei does not dare to covet it.
But in the first battle of Xiliang, Lu Bu killed nearly 30,000 warriors with 5,000 people one after another, and then helped Han Sui to attack Lu Bu, and lost 20,000, and half of the 100,000 army, and what's worse is that Lu Bu quietly sneaked into the Hetao and broke the royal court army in one fell swoop, with the help of the Yueshi people, the Xiongnu lost 30,000 warriors before and after, that is to say, after this battle, the Xiongnu lost up to 80,000 warriors.
It is equivalent to the main force of the Huns to be disabled, after this battle, although the strength of the Huns can still be called the Hetao, but has lost the absolute suppression power, plus the Xianbei people are eyeing the tiger, in the next few years, the Huns in front of the Xianbei people, I am afraid that they will have to be a man with their tails.
Sighing softly, as the successor of the future Xiongnu, Liu Bao began to worry about the future of the Xiongnu.
"Look, sir!" Just when Liu Bao was worried about the future fate of the Huns, Bo Can, who was beside him, suddenly screamed, pointed to the distance and said loudly.
"Huh?" When Liu Bao heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction that Bo Can was pointing, but saw a thick smoke suddenly rising in the distance, and faintly, there seemed to be a fire flashing in the north.
Who's setting the fire!?
Liu Bao's eyes flashed with a glint of gloom, and he was about to give an order, when someone exclaimed: "There are also here!" ”
Suddenly turning around, I saw that a pillar of smoke had also appeared in the south, and the fire had become obvious, and it was rapidly growing, spreading towards the west and the center.
"Quick, go east!" Seeing this, Liu Meng, who was on the side, hurriedly shouted loudly: "Before the fire spreads, you must rush out of this grassland!" ”
Liu Bao faintly felt that something was wrong, since the enemy had already prepared fires on the north and south sides, with the current wind, the west naturally didn't care, but why didn't the east either?
Just before he could react, a large number of Hun warriors had already begun to charge to the east, and Liu Bao could only helplessly follow, turning his head to look at the fires on both sides connected from the rear, and the feeling of haze in his heart became clearer.
"Set fire!"
Seeing that the fires on both sides of the east and west gradually closed, the Huns also fled towards the east as planned, and in the distance, the two sides were already able to see their respective flags, with a cold smile on the corner of their mouths, and waved their hands fiercely, hundreds of soldiers threw their torches into the grass that had been prepared, and the raging flames spread in an instant, and the scorching temperature made the green people retreat for a distance.
On horseback, when he saw Lu Bu lining up in front, Liu Bao's face changed: "Shouted loudly:" Hit the plan"
It's a pity that it's too late to figure it out now, the fire in the east is together, and the fire in the north and south has been connected into a line, completely cutting off the retreat of the Huns.
For today, Lu Bu not only sent his troops and Yue's troops out to cut the grass, but also went to Yue's Lake to invite a large number of Yue's people to help, and the hay that had been prepared for three days was enough to exert enough power at this time, and hundreds of fire sources borrowed the wind to spread rapidly, and the raging flames made the galloping Hun Erlang's face like dirt, and the galloping momentum collapsed instantly.
"Steady! Retreat west! Liu Bao's face was pale, but he still tried to calm himself down, commanding the men and horses to retreat to the west, although there was also fire in the west, but because of the wind, the spread of the west was much slower, sitting on horseback, Liu Bao looked up at the sky, and now, he could only hope that God could have mercy on them and let them avoid this extermination.
The fire is spreading, the flames in all directions spread towards the Huns trapped in the center with a prairie fire, and the Huns let out a desperate roar, wanting to ride their horses out of the fire, but the creatures' instinctive fear of flames made those war horses stop when they encountered the flames, and then they were swallowed by the flames in the screams.
There are also smart people who cover the eyes of the war horses and rush out of the sea of fire with speed, but what awaits them is not a new life, but a ruthless gathering of cold arrows.
Liu Bao knelt on the ground in pain, and bowed to the sky reverently, hoping that the immortal heaven could bless them to tide over this difficulty.
"Lord, it's done!" Behind the fire, Han De excitedly waved the mountain opening axe in his hand, and said to Lu Budao, and the group of soldiers behind him also showed excited looks.
"Bang~" A cold touch suddenly came from his face, Lu Bu frowned and wiped it, looking at the water stains on his hands in a daze, and a depression suddenly rose in his chest.
"Papa~Papa~"
Maybe God really couldn't bear to watch the Huns perish, maybe it was the devout prayers of the Huns who moved the heavens, just when the fire was about to swallow up the 50,000 army, in the sky, the rain that had been accumulated for a long time finally began to fall, crackling more and more raindrops, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
Lu Bu's face became gloomy, Han De's expression of excitement and excitement froze on his face, and the cheers of the soldiers and horses behind him were also stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly.
Surrounded by fire, although the Huns were constantly engulfed in flames, the Huns let out earth-shattering cheers, Liu Bao got up from the ground, opened his hands, turned his face to the sky, let the rain crackle on his face, and cheered loudly: "Thank you for Changshengtian!" ”
"Thank you for the Immortal Heavens!" The excited cries of harmony gradually converged into a wave of sound, straight into the sky.
The fire was gradually suppressed by the heavy rain, and there were still Huns on the ground who were burned by the flames rolling and wailing, but they could not suppress the joy of the Huns for the rest of their lives.
Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and the cold touch spread along the skin of his fingers to every corner of his body, and a deep voice echoed in the wilderness.
"Maybe this is God's mercy, maybe God really thinks that the Huns should not be exterminated, but ......" Lu Bu turned his horse's head and looked at the people behind him who had changed color: "This can't erase the sins committed by these Huns, since God doesn't want to destroy him, then it's up to me to destroy them, sons, hold your weapons tightly, use the weapons in our hands to replace God, for those innocent people who died under the iron hooves and butcher knives of the Huns, use the blood of the Huns, and seek justice!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! More than a thousand Han soldiers raised their weapons high, and the morale that had been low because of the heavy rain rose again at this moment, and the Yueshi people also silently raised their weapons.
Lu Bu turned his horse's head and slashed Fang Tian's halberd into the void: "Now, use our weapons and the blood of the enemy to tell them, even if God forgives them, but we don't, the blood debt must be repaid with blood, kill!" ”
"Kill!" The surging roar suppressed the cheers of the Huns, and the cold iron hooves crushed the atmosphere of the rest of their lives, and also woke the Huns from the cheers...... (To be continued.) )
