On the fifth day of the sixth month of the third year of Zhongping, the 20,000 officers and troops led by Qin Feng fought a decisive battle with the 30,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu in the "grassland in the clouds".

The official army was only 20,000 people, and it was a decisive battle with the Huns on the steppe, and it was at an absolute disadvantage.

However, after the success of the fire plan of Qin Feng, the commander of the official army, the entire battlefield situation was reversed in one fell swoop.

Qin Feng couldn't burn himself by himself, so there was no fire in the south where he was located, and this became the only way for the Huns to survive.

The Huns, under the leadership of the Xiongnu king Qiangqu, launched a frantic offensive against the official army, and in order to survive, they only knew how to charge. Although they faced sharp knives and spears and overwhelming bows and arrows, they would not take half a step back.

Looking down from the sky, the grassland in the entire Yunzhong County area is overheated. The fires that ignited in the east, west, and north directions changed the color of the heavens and the earth. In the past, the lush grassland became a purgatory on earth with black smoke everywhere and a heat wave rushing to the face.

The fire continued to burn violently and continue to spread violently. Soon, the fire burned to the site of the battle between the two sides.

Too many Huns in the rear fell in the flames, which made the Huns in front even more frantically attack the battle formation of the official army. They knew that they would not be spared from the flames. And only by breaking through the battle formation of the officers and soldiers can it be possible to escape.

In front of the defensive line arranged by the officers and soldiers with baggage carts to resist horses, the spearmen passed through the gaps between the vehicles, and every time they stabbed their spears, they would take the life of a Hun or horse.

Behind the spearmen, the infantry, holding their shields aloft, formed a huge tortoiseshell. However, every time the tortoise shell pieces cracked, countless arrows rained out into the sky, and one arrow after another flew towards the Huns like missiles, with accurate projectiles.

And the cavalry archers of the Huns, crazy reflexes. But when the tortoise shell closed, there was only a clanging sound and too many reflected bows, so it was useless.

"Offense. Offensive! The Hun King Qiangqu roared, "Only by breaking through can we live!" ”

In fact, there is no need for him to shout, the fire behind the Huns. It will force them to attack frantically and the only way out.

With the passage of time, the front line of the official army was densely filled with the corpses of the Huns. With the accumulation of corpses, the defensive line formed by the baggage wagons was useless. In this way, the Huns stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to attack frantically.

After the defense line of the officers and troops lost the support of the baggage vehicles. Began to face the attack of the Huns head-on.

As a result, officers and soldiers also began to suffer a large number of casualties. However, due to the formation of officers and soldiers, three or five people cooperated with each other. Often, when one officer or soldier fell, three or five Huns died.

However, in the face of the frenzied attack of the Huns, the battle formations of the officers and troops were squeezed together, which made the pikemen and crossbowmen in the rear unable to obtain enough space to assist the attack of the forwards.

Faced with such a situation. Qin Feng had to give the order to slowly retreat. Fortunately, the Huns were still killed and wounded in large numbers, and for Qin Feng, it was only a matter of time before the enemy was completely annihilated.

Things have changed a little, though.

This change comes from the spreading fire, and also from the continuous death of the Huns.

Due to the constant death of the Huns, human blood, horse blood. Rivers of blood, blood, blocked the spread of fire on the side of the Huns. However, the fire will not stop there. It began to spread in a roundabout way.

Officers and soldiers on the side.

"Report ......, Marshal, the right flank of our army is on fire!"

"Report ......, marshal, the left flank of our army is on fire!" The heralds delivered battle reports one after another.

Qin Cao Yuan Ding, raised his eyes and looked. I saw that the left and right flanks of our army were billowing with smoke.

At this time, there were heralds on the left flank and on the right flank who arrived at Qin Feng, "Report to the ......, marshal, in the midst of the flames, officers at all levels can no longer control the troops!" ”

"Zijin, water and fire are ruthless....... The soldiers could not fight the enemy under fire. Cao Cao said with a burst of shock.

"Zijin, what should I do?" Yuan Shaotou Avenue.

At this time, Ding Yuan's face was also pale, and he hurriedly said: "Marshal, looking at the scale of the Huns, there are only five or six thousand people left, and our army has not suffered much losses." The number of the Huns is no longer enough to fear, it is better to retreat first, and then find other ways to annihilate the remnants of the enemy. So as not to set fire to the upper body and follow in the footsteps of the Huns. ”

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao nodded when they heard this.

Qin Feng's face was gloomy, and he was also worried about the current situation. He did not agree to retreat now, "This is an opportunity to completely annihilate the Huns, and now is not the time to retreat." Mende, you go to the left. Originally, you went to the right flank, in any case, you had to hold the line of defense, and the gap must not be opened by the Huns. ”

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao heard this, they immediately didn't want it. However, the military orders were like a mountain, and they could only bite the bullet and go to supervise the war.

With the departure of the two, the situation on the battlefield became complicated as the fire spread to both flanks of the officers and soldiers.

The sound of killing, the sound of bowstrings is still endless. And the screams of the soldiers on both sides before they died were even more deafening. Especially the shouts of those who were burned alive by the flames were creepy and their scalps tingled.

The normal voices of each other can not be heard, although there is no modern rain of bullets, but the ancient hand-to-hand combat is more cruel and ruthless.

In order to successfully eliminate the Huns, Qin Feng searched for a while and shouted: "Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian? Where did you go, boy? ”

At this time, Lu Bu was in the archer formation not far away, and there was an arrow without an arrow. His eyes were not on the bow, but the sharp arrows that he shot out of his hand rose into the sky with a roar, more powerful than any crossbowman.

At this moment, the god of war is full of sadness and helplessness.

When Lu Bu heard Qin Feng's call, his face was embarrassed for a while, but he still galloped back, Fang Tianhua picked up his halberd, and said proudly: "What is the matter with the big handsome calling Lu Bu?" ”

Speaking of which, this was the first time Qin Feng had used Lu Bu as a general in his previous life and present life, and he was still full of confidence in this god-of-war general. He immediately ordered: "Fengxian, your chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious service has come." You immediately lead a fresh force of 500 people to give Ben Shuai a counter-assault on the Huns. If you can kill Qiangqu, Ben Shuai will give you credit, if you can kill Qiang Qu, Yu Fuluo, and Hu Chuquan, Ben Shuai will show you the first merit. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, immediately dismounted, fell to the ground, and shouted: "Lu Bu will definitely complete the task!" When he looked up, he said, "I hope the marshal will keep his promise." ”

Qin Feng said instead: "Qiangqu must be protected by heavy troops, so be careful here." ”

Lu Bu stood up proudly. said: "Dashuai, just wait for the good news." ”

Five minutes passed quickly.

The number of Huns from 6,000 people has been sharply reduced.

Five thousand people.

Four thousand people.

Three thousand people.

And the fire, in the course of five minutes, also spread extremely fast.

Now the frontier hand-to-hand combat. The Huns had gone from a frenzied offensive to a desperate defense.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Lu Bu led five hundred elites and advanced by leaps and bounds. However, all the Huns who can survive until now. It's all the best of the best. They have despaired, they no longer have any care for life. They were therefore fearless and blocked Lü Bu's attack to the death.

Lu Bu became unapproachable for a while, he lost his composure when he wanted to make meritorious contributions, and after his frizzy temper came up, he didn't think about breaking through the tactics, he only knew how to fight indiscriminately. Therefore, in the face of the fearless Hun elite, there was more and more chaos.

On Qin Feng's side, as the air around him became extremely hot, sweat continued to flow from the gap in his helmet to his cheeks.

"Zijin!"

"Virtuous brother!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao rode back. Cao Cao's black face was red. Sweating, he said: "Zijin, it's not good, I can't stand it!" ”

Yuan Shao's head was big, and his sweat was like rain, "Many soldiers were burned alive by the fire under their feet, and their clothes were burned alive!" ”

Cao Cao said: "After these soldiers died, they were burned by the fire, which only fueled the fire!" ”

Yuan Shao shouted: "Zijin, don't retreat." I'm afraid our army will also be burned alive! ”

Ding Yuan looked frightened and said, "Marshal, now that our army has suffered little loss, let's retreat." If not. The same heavy losses, the meaning of this big victory is gone, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Qin Feng looked into the distance, and saw Lu Bu rushing left and right, although he killed countless people, but he couldn't rush into the Chinese army where Qiangqu was located.

There is no time left.

Qin Feng can't kill Qiangqu for the sake of it. Just sit back and watch more than 10,000 people burned to death. He had no choice but to give the order for the whole army to retreat.

"The commander has an order, the whole army retreats, out of the scope of the fire."

"The whole army retreated?"

"Retreat, retreat!"

The officers and soldiers, who were surrounded by the fire, retreated like crazy after receiving the order. In fact, they had already panicked before the fire, thanks to the extremely strong dominance of Cao Cao and the others, if not, they would have scattered and fled long ago.

As soon as the officers and troops retreated, the 2,000 surviving Huns were immediately vented as if they had finally waited for the flood gate to be opened.

"Break through to the northeast, break through!" Qiangqu exclaimed that he had escaped death.

In the sound of horses' hooves, stepping on countless sparks, the Huns whipped their horses quickly, and the war horses were also forced out of a strong escape force by the fire. In the blink of an eye, the surviving Huns disappeared into the thick smoke.

Half an hour later.

When the officers and troops retreated to a safe area, Qin Feng immediately ordered his troops to eradicate the grass and cut off the spread of the fire.

He looked at the blazing fire from afar, and more than 20,000 Huns and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers stayed in it forever.

As it burned, there were no bones left.

Liu Bei's three brothers, Dian Wei Xu Chu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, all came back happily. Only Lu Bu was alone, depressed.

Qin Feng saw Lu Bu arriving and asked, "Fengxiao, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Bu was holding Fang Tian's halberd, and when he bowed his head in shame, the two feathers on the crown of his head swayed wildly, and he sighed: "It's just a little bit closer, you can rush in." Marshal, why did you retire? ”

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he pinched his little thumb and reprimanded: "You're still a little bit close, can't you be early?" Wait until you kill Qiangqu ....... He pointed to the raging fire in the distance, "The whole army has accompanied you to cremation." ”

"This ...... Ay~! Lu Bu was speechless, and bowed his head for the first time in his life.

That's just a little bit.

That's often how fate goes.

Fortunately, this battle can be regarded as a complete annihilation of the Huns' cavalry army.

Qin Feng hung up the golden spear, waved his big hand, and said, "The army is stationed on the spot." He said to Ding Yuan: "Annoying Lao Ding's assassination Shi returned to Jinyang and quickly transported grain and grass materials." Let's march into Yanmen early tomorrow morning. Take back the land that belongs to us. ”

(I wish Ah Xin a speedy recovery, and I wish all my brothers and sisters good health.) (To be continued.) )
