Liu Bei led 6,000 soldiers, all of whom were ambushed here.
For this battle, Liu Bei had great hopes, hoping to capture alive the main general sent by Liu Xuan. Zhang Fei was captured alive and became Liu Xuan's prisoner, and the only way for Liu Bei to rescue Zhang Fei was to take down the generals sent by Liu Xuan.
Then, Liu Bei negotiated with Liu Xuan to take Zhang Fei back.
He saw the soldiers sent by Fengtingdu to Liu Xuan's camp for help, and Liu Bei was excited.
Here's your chance!
His chance to rescue Zhang Fei came.
Guan Yu sat beside Liu Bei, straightened his long hair under his chin, and said slowly: "Big brother, who will Liu Xuanhui send?" ”
Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "I don't know who it is." But the best candidates are Tai Shici and Xu Huang. These two people are Liu Xuan's right-hand men, and if they can take down any of them, there is hope of rescuing the third brother. ”
Guan Yu nodded, his eyes expectant.
was defeated by Liu Xuan, Guan Yu was extremely aggrieved.
Zhang Fei became a prisoner, and Guan Yu secretly hated himself for being incompetent.
In this battle, there is finally a chance.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier hurried up. The soldier came to Liu Bei's side, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, the reinforcements sent by Liu Xuan are here, and they are still three miles away from Honggu Forest. ”
Liu Bei commanded: "Explore again!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier replied and turned to retreat.
After a short time, another soldier came to Liu Bei's side, and the soldier looked excited, and reported: "My lord, the army sent by Liu Xuan is almost here. We inquired about the news and found that the flag was marked with the word 'Xu', which should be Xu Huang, a general under Liu Xuan. The soldiers led by Xu Huang are estimated to be 5,000 people. ”
Liu Bei clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist and ordered: "Command all the soldiers to prepare and wait for the officer's order." ”
"Yes!"
The soldier went down to give the order.
To get to Fengtingdu, you must take the official road in the Red Valley forest.
What Liu Bei had to do was to wait for Xu Huang's army to enter the Red Valley Forest before suddenly ambushing him. There are bamboo forests all over a radius of several miles, and once Liu Bei's soldiers attack, they can catch Xu Huang off guard.
Liu Bei was waiting in the forest, and Xu Huang led the troops to get closer and closer to the Red Valley Forest. When the army was still a mile away from Honggu Forest, Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to stop.
Xu waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed out.
There were 400 soldiers in this group, and as soon as they rushed out, they were divided into four groups. Each team of soldiers is running in a different direction. But the four teams of soldiers had one thing in common, each soldier carried a clay pot.
The clay pots are filled with flammable tung oil.
Xu Huang's task is to burn the Red Valley Forest.
As long as the fire breaks out in all directions of the Red Valley Forest, the army ambushed in the bamboo forest will not escape.
Four hundred soldiers entered the Red Valley Forest from the front, rear, left, and right directions, and quickly moved into action.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang dispatched soldiers to surround the Honggu Forest.
This action attracted the attention of Liu Bei's spies, and the spies quickly passed the news to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei listened, he asked, "What does the person who sneaked into the bamboo forest intend to do?" ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "I'm still investigating." ”
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Take down a few soldiers immediately and interrogate them clearly." ”
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order, turned around and prepared to go out.
"Report!"
Just then, a soldier quickly ran back. The soldier's face looked panicked, and he said loudly: "My lord, something is wrong. The bamboo forest caught fire, and the bamboo forest on the periphery of the Red Valley Forest caught fire, and it was on fire in all directions. ”
Brush!
Liu Bei's face changed suddenly.
The bamboo forest is on fire.
Liu Bei suddenly understood, and understood why Xu Huang sent soldiers to sneak into the bamboo forest.
Set fire to the bamboo forest!
So ruthless Xu Huang!
No!
Wrong!
Liu Bei's brain turned quickly, why did Xu Huang know that there was an ambush in Honggu Forest? Why did Xu Huang resolutely burn the bamboo forest? Liu Bei suddenly had an idea, Xu Huang had long known that there was an ambush in Honggu Forest, so he planned it.
Thinking of this, Liu Beibei came from it and couldn't help clenching his fists.
He wanted to ambush Xu Huang, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by Xu Huang.
It's August now, the weather is hot, and all the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest are dry. After encountering Mars, the bamboo forest will immediately burn, which cannot be extinguished at all, and the fire spreads extremely quickly.
Guan Yu looked nervous and asked, "Big brother, what should we do?" ”
"Withdraw!"
Liu Bei decided without hesitation.
Guan Yu asked, "The key is, where do we retreat?" ”
Liu Bei thought for a moment and replied, "Retreat in the direction of Fengtingdu, as long as we kill it, there will still be a chance." ”
Guan Yu didn't think so, and said, "Big brother, Xu Huang has already expected that we are in the bamboo forest. We retreat in the direction of Fengtingdu, I am afraid that we will be ambushed and it will be difficult to withdraw. ”
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "There is no way, I can only retreat to Fengtingdu." There is Xu Huang's army ahead, and the fire is spreading in the bamboo forest, and if you go in the direction of Xu Huang, you will be blocked. Once we are blocked in the bamboo forest, there will be more casualties, and now we can only retreat. ”
The order was issued, and Liu Bei took Guan Yu to break through.
When Liu Bei retreated, the five thousand soldiers under Xu Huang's command had already been distributed around the Honggu Forest, surrounding the Honggu Forest. Xu Huang's method was very simple, that is, to trap the army sent by Tian Kai.
As long as the opponent can't break through, he will win.
Xu Huang personally commanded, waiting for the other party to break through. Not long after, the soldiers came with news that at the exit of Honggul Forest to Fengtingdu, they had encountered the army that had broken through.
Xu Huang took a part of the soldiers and went quickly.
When Xu Huang made a detour to the rear of the Red Valley Forest, the soldiers under his command were fending off the enemy who rushed out of the bamboo forest. At this time, the bamboo forest has become a sea of fire, the fire is soaring to the sky, and the billowing smoke fills the sky.
Endless smoke and dust fell with a clatter.
Xu Huang's eyes were cold, and he commanded the soldiers to constantly resist.
Either the pikemen come forward to resist, or the archers shoot, or the shieldmen resist......
In short, procrastination is victory.
As long as the enemy can't rush out, they will all be burned in the fire.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu broke through with their soldiers, and rushed several times in a row, but they were all blocked. In the end, Liu Bei was embarrassed and killed under the cover of Guan Yu's struggle, and was no longer attacked by the sea of fire.
However, not many of the soldiers around Liu Bei rushed out, and many were still in the bamboo forest.
After rushing out, he was shot with a bow and arrow.
For a while, it was difficult for Liu Bei and Guan Yu to break through and leave.
Xu Huang's gaze fell on Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and he noticed the two, his eyes flashing with a fine light.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu!
It was two big fish.
Xu Huang's eyes were excited, and he yelled: "Don't kill those who surrender, Liu Bei, surrender quickly." ”
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
Countless soldiers shouted along with them.
The sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, echoing in the air, and reaching the ears of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
