The sky was overcast, and the twilight clouds were low.

In the camp along the river of the Hedong Army, a pawn stopped the horse of Yu Hua, the captain of the patrol camp, in a panic, and said in a panic: "Oh no, there are spies over there." ”

"Spy?!" Hearing this, Yu Hua hurriedly jumped off the horse, grabbed the pawn and asked, "Where is the spy?" The pawn pointed to the bank of the river not far away, and said breathlessly: "Right there, the little one was delivering food to the brothers in the water village, and saw a man climb up from the river and burrow into the reeds over there. ”

"Oh, does anyone else know about this?" Yu Hua asked nervously.

"No, as soon as the little one saw him, he hurriedly ran to report the news."

"You're doing a great job." Yu Hua patted the pawn's shoulder and praised, "Without further ado, you lead the way for us, we must not let that spy run away!" ”

"But......" The pawn hesitated when he saw that there were only two soldiers behind Yu Hua, "The reeds are so big, are we too few?" ”

"You don't understand this, there are too many people, if you startle the snake, you will let the spy run away." Yu Hua patiently explained to the pawn, and a scar-faced sergeant behind him sneered: "Is it used to catch a spy to mobilize the people?" ”

The pawn didn't dare to speak, and there was a fierce murderous aura in the Scarface Sergeant's eyes, and he shuddered at it. The group quietly walked out of the camp and into the reeds by the river. The night breeze rustles through the reeds, and the Yellow River flows quietly not far away, and everything seems quiet and natural.

"Where's the person?" Sergeant Scarface asked in a deep voice, his scarface looking strange in the night.

"Just now, where ......," the pawn muttered, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"You lie about the military situation, you deserve to be executed!" As he spoke, Sergeant Scarface suddenly dodged behind the pawn, reached out and grabbed his neck to cover his mouth, and with a slack of hands, he snapped the pawn's neck with a click.

Yu Hua glanced around coldly and slapped his palm lightly three times. Behind a clump of withered yellow reeds came a man dressed in black.

"You were so careless that you almost died at the hands of a pawn!" Scarface said with a snort, and the man in black snorted coldly and did not answer.

"Alright, don't talk about it." Yu Hua waved his hand to interrupt Sergeant Scarface's words and asked the man in black, "Have you decided what to do?" Mr. Liu seems to have become suspicious of us. ”

"It's set, fire attack, at the end of today's fourth watch." The man in black said with a cold face, taking off the black clothes on his body, but he was wearing the coat of the Hedong Army.

"In such a hurry?" Yu Hua was taken aback, lowered his head and pondered. Sergeant Scarface became agitated: "This is just nonsense! There is less than an hour left until the fourth watch, how do you want us to prepare? ”

The man in black sneered and said, "If you don't have a miracle, how can you have a miracle?" How is it different from a woman to do great things and spare one's life? ”

"You" Sergeant Scarface was speechless for a moment, and his face turned purple.

The man in black snorted coldly, his gaze moved from the face of the scarface sergeant to Yu Hua, and sneered: "If you change the court, you must always get some greeting gifts, does General Yu want to go over empty-handed?" ”

Yu Hua took a breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

Yu Hua is the brother of the Hedong general Chong Chong, and the scarface sergeant is named Bao Xin, who is his sworn brother. The man in black who connected with them was Ma Yue's henchman Wan Guyang. A few days ago, Huyan Valley was breached, Yu Chongchong was defeated and captured, and then under the persuasion of Qu Qingquan and other old Hedong veterans, Yang Hao had surrendered. Liu Desan was heartbroken for two days without thinking about tea and dinner, but he still rejected the advice of the strategist and did not get angry with Chong Chong's old days in the army.

Liu Desan can forgive Yu Chongchong's betrayal, and many of his subordinates don't have this measure. Yu Chongchong's old days were constantly troubled, and everyone was frightened and uneasy. It is precisely because of this that Ma Yue found Yu Hua and asked him to help him break through the Hedong military camp and capture Liu Desan alive.

Yu Hua brought Wan Guyang back to the camp, and when he passed by a tall camp tent, Yu Hua asked loudly, "Brother Wan, do you know where this is?" Wan Guyang said disdainfully: "I don't bother to know, in another hour, this place will be a cloud of ashes." ”

Before he could finish his words, he heard one person shouting, "What a big breath! I saw Liu Desan dressed in civilian clothes and holding a purple sand teapot leisurely out of the big tent, and dozens of armor soldiers poured in from all around, surrounding Wan Guyang. Wan Guyang was shocked and asked Yu Hua: "What's going on?" Bao Xin pulled out his knife and put it on Wan Guyang's neck and sneered: "Let me tell you, there are only warriors who died on the battlefield in Hedong, and there are no villains who bent their knees to the enemy. ”

Liu Desan asked Bao Xin with a smile: "What do you say should be done with him?" Bao Xin said without thinking: "This kind of person is naturally slaughtered with a knife." Liu Desan shook his head and asked Yu Hua: "What do you see?" Yu Hua said with a smile: "In my humble opinion, this person should be kept, so that he can see his master being captured by the handsome." Liu Desan nodded and praised: "Good idea." Bao Xin interjected: "Isn't this too cheap for him?" ”

Liu Desan laughed when he heard this, pointed to Wan Guyang and said to Bao Xin: "You ask him, is he willing to lose his life with a knife, or is he willing to live to see his handsome being captured by me." Bao Xin kicked Wan Guyang and shouted, "You say, are you willing to choose that?" ”

Wan Guyang scolded: "Yu Hua, you villain, you can't die well!" After saying that, he hit Bao Xin's knife, Bao Xin pulled the knife and pulled his shirt and scolded: "You want to die, Lao Tzu won't let you die." After that, he took Wan Guyang with him.

Yu Hua said: "The handsome man is really like a god, they really want to attack with fire." It was their incompetence that they did not find out their true intentions until this time. The ship can still be transferred, but the boat pond water village cannot be saved. ”

Liu Desan said: "You can't be blamed for this. Ma Yue is suspicious by nature, and his true thoughts will not be easily told to the people below. As for the boat pond water village, let them burn it! Moths can only bring about their own destruction if they put out fire, and without fire, what do you let them fight? You can't force them to throw themselves into the water, can you? ”

Yu Hua laughed, and the gloom on his face was swept away. However, there was an imperceptible smugness in his eyes.

At the end of the fourth watch, the last bit of stars and moon was also obscured by dark clouds.

On the south side of the camp along the river, a fleet of more than 30 wooden boats carrying grain is slowly sailing towards the pier on the north bank. A river patrol boat from the Hedong Navy Division went up to meet him.

"Drop the sail and check!" A colonel shouted loudly from the bow of the inspection ship, having signaled the light to the ship but received no response.

"Hurry up and drop the sails, or we'll let the arrows go!" The Colonel snorted again, but the grain ship still did not respond, "My lord," said one of the soldiers, pointing to the side of the grain ship, "the draft of a ship full of grain will not be so shallow." The little colonel also saw something unusual, "It's not good, quickly ring the gong to warn!" ”

Dangdang, a piercing golden gong suddenly sounded on the calm lake, and more than 30 grain ships suddenly scattered in a line. The flames rose into the air, and more than 30 boats rushed towards the boat pond and water village of the Hedong Army like a fire dragon. The fire ignited more than a dozen warships in the boat pond, and then spread to the camp on the shore by the wind, and for a time the flames were red through half the sky.

"Kill"

At the same time that the boat pond was engulfed in flames, the Xining Army, the Manhei Five Divisions, the Vulture Division, the Tiande Army, and Shi Xiong's Zhenwu Army slaughtered the Hedong camp from different directions. The drums thundered, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Liu Desan, who was standing on the watchtower of the Chinese army camp, looked at all this coldly like an outsider. Chang Dakuan, the deputy general of the water division, ran over happily: "Commander, good news!" He was ordered to intercept the Ma Yuebu who was following behind the fireboats, sinking 45 large and small ships and killing more than 600 soldiers. ”

"Good! Well done! Liu De praised three times. To be praised face-to-face by the marshal Liu Desan is a great honor for any Hedong general.

"Report the North Battalion to ambush and kill 300 Xining troops! Capture two members of the general. ”

"Report to the East Battalion to kill and disperse the Zhenwu Army, and capture the seven generals."

"Report to the marshal, General Sui beheaded the prince of the Barbarian Black Department and beheaded eight hundred."

………

The good news of each battalion flew like snowflakes, and Liu Desan's tightly knit brows gradually bloomed.

"Order the navy to tightly seal the river to prevent a small group of enemy troops from sneaking up." Speaking of this, Liu Desan pondered for a moment and asked Chang Dakuan urgently: "Is there any movement in the Tiande Water Master?" ”

"I was ordered to closely monitor the movements of the Tiande Navy, and I have not found any abnormal movements so far." Chang Dakuan boasted confidently, "Please rest assured, as long as Zhu Gong dares to come, he will not be able to return." ”

"Okay," Liu Desan nodded excitedly, and instructed Chang Dakuan: "You rush back to the army now, remember, give me the Tiande Water Master, this is their only chance to turn the tables." ”

"Humble duty understands!" Chang Dakuan said that he turned around and withdrew from the camp.

"Call that Wan, Wan Gu Yang is still Wan Yang Gu, bring it to me. Such a beautiful view, he really shouldn't have missed it. Liu Desan's face was full of relief when he said this, as if victory was within reach.

Wan Guyang was being held in a tent thirty zhang away from the watchtower, and after being captured, he kept his mouth shut. He was also indifferent to the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from outside.

"Who?" The guard at the door of the tent suddenly shouted.

"It's me, on the orders of the marshal, to watch the scenery from the tower." It was Yu Hua who spoke.

"Look, look at the scenery?" The guard asked, puzzled.

Yu Hua smiled and said, "The fire trees and silver flowers are the color of the spring river, what a beautiful scenery this is." The guard smiled and said, "That's what the general said." When he turned around, he asked the soldiers to escort Wan Guyang out.

As soon as Yu Hua left with Wan Guyang's front foot, a Chinese army guard rushed over and shouted: "According to the order of the marshal, take Wan Guyang to the watchtower to watch the scenery." ”

"Look, and look at the scenery?" The guards didn't believe their ears.

"What's so strange about this, Fire Tree Silverflower......"

Before the Chinese army guards finished speaking, the guards said with a bitter face: "But the people have already let General Yu take them away." ”

"General Yu? Yu Hua? The Chinese army guard thought for a moment and exclaimed: "It's not good, Yu Hua wants to rebel!" ”

Liu Desan's worst fears finally happened, just when the good news from all sides was frequent, a fleet of more than 60 civilian boats quietly approached the Hedong Army camp under the cover of the reeds by the river. There were ten soldiers on each civilian ship, and the sixty ships added up to exactly six hundred, which was the last trump card in Yang Hao's hand to guard the pro-army fire battalion.

Even when Yang Hao was in the most difficult time, he did not use the Agni Camp, because although it was difficult at that time, it was not yet desperate. But now it's different, this is the last battle, either Liu dies or Yang dies!

However, Liu Desan's camp is very tightly arranged, and the beacon towers along the river are one after another, and it is difficult to sneak into the camp quietly. But if someone is doing the internal response, then the situation is different.

Yu Hua is the internal response, he and Wan Guyang co-starred in a bitter double reed in front of Liu Desan, which won Liu Desan's full trust. After he took advantage of the chaos to rescue Wan Guyang, he entered several beacon towers along the river in the name of patrolling with the Chinese military command in hand, and opened the back door for Yu Yanlu to enter the Hedong Army camp.

The scales of victory were reversed in an instant.

Yu Yanlu quickly attacked the Chinese army camp, and the resistance of Liu Desan's personal guards was instantly shattered, and Yu Yanlu set a fire after occupying the Chinese army.

Yang Hao's strategy of attacking from all sides and flowering in the center has achieved unprecedented success. Seeing that the Chinese army's camp was on fire, the morale of the Hedong Army suddenly plummeted. The defense line was broken through one by one, and the unified and efficient command system collapsed in an instant. The army was divided into clumps and then cannibalized in pieces. The Black Five were already busy snatching the spoils of war, and the soldiers pocketed everything they could take with them, fighting for a tent, a horse, and even a copper kettle.

Liu Desan fled to the river, and under the morning light, hundreds of ships of the Hedong Naval Division were moored on the river, but the boat pond wharf was burned down, and the big boats could not dock the shore, so they could only rely on dozens of small boats to cross the river. Liu Desan suddenly looked like he was ten years old, his beard and eyebrows turned white overnight, his eyes became cloudy, and he completely lost the awe-inspiring murderous aura of looking at all directions.

Sui Crouching Tiger rushed over shirtless with a bloody long knife in his hand, and said to Liu Desan breathlessly: "The general trend has gone, Dashuai quickly cross the river." Lao Mo also persuaded: "It's useless to stay any longer, let's go." Liu Desan looked at the restless soldiers crowded on the river beach, and looked up to the sky and sighed. said to Sui Crouching Tiger: "Take me to see Yang Hao." ”

"No!" Sui Crouching Tiger let out a long howl and knelt down, tears pouring down his face.

Lao Mo also knelt on the side and hugged Liu Desan's leg and said in tears: "Dashuai, you can't spoil yourself like this." ”

When the soldiers heard that the commander was going to bend down and surrender to the enemy, they all cried loudly, begging the commander to cross the river and leave quickly. Liu Desan raised his face and looked at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and wiped away his tears violently. said to the soldiers: "Liu is incompetent and trapped in the three armies to death. What kind of face is there to be alone? Everyone's kindness, Liu Mou accepted it. With that, he bowed and thanked the soldiers of the Quartet, and then shook off his stride and walked towards the Xining army camp.
