Zhang Fei looked up at the sky, couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, and said wonderingly: "Isn't it just a few white clouds, and it has a half-penny relationship with the northwest wind?" ”

Liu Ze ignored him, beckoned Guan Yu and the others to dress up neatly, and went straight to the east gate to see Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song had just commanded the soldiers to repel a wave of attacks from the Yellow Turbans, and when he saw Liu Ze's team rushing over in full armor, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Runde, it seems that you have brought good news." ”

Liu Ze nodded and said, "Yes, there will be a westerly wind at the second watch tonight, and the burning of the Changshe will be tonight." ”

Huangfu Song's spirit was greatly lifted, and the order went down, and the army immediately buried the pot to make rice, prepared saltpeter, sulfur, fire oil and other fire-causing things, and waited for the second watch to arrive on the first day, and killed out of the city.

The small county town of Changshe has been repeatedly attacked, which makes Yingchuan's Qu Shuai Bocai very angry, and what makes him even more depressed is that Zhang Liang, the general of the people, went out to "hunt" and has not returned so far, not only Zhang Liang is gone, but even the thousands of people such as Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan who accompanied him are as if they have evaporated from the world.

This makes Bo Cai extremely tricky, this Zhang Liang has no other skills, he has a hand in playing with women, and he picks **, this time he goes out to hunt, not to harm the young daughter of a good family. Although Bocai knows it very well in his heart, but because he is Zhang Jiao's younger brother, it is not easy to interfere, this time Zhang Liang's disappearance made his head bigger, Zhang Liang really wants to have a good one, how can Zhang Jiao explain it? What's more, there is also the general Zhang Bao who urges him to go out to find people all day long, and he is annoyed to death.

The sunset in the sky indicates that tomorrow will be another good weather, the continuous drought has almost dried up several small rivers nearby, and the drinking water of more than 100,000 troops has become a problem, coupled with the hot weather, the soldiers are already exhausted, if they can't take the Changshe, let alone the officers and soldiers counterattack, even if the officers and soldiers drag down, it is enough to drag him down. Bo Cai expected that the situation of the officers and soldiers in the city was not good, and they were also at the end of the crossbow, and now they were comparing the last perseverance to see who could hold on to the end. Bo Cai secretly made up his mind, tomorrow will definitely pour all his strength to launch a fatal blow, if he wins, he can conquer Changshe, go straight to Luoyang, if he can't win, he is no longer ready to consume, decided to retreat to Runan and wait for the cool weather before attacking.

Deputy Marshal Peng Tuo was worried and said: "The weather is dry and dry, all the grain and grass of our army are piled up in the big camp, once the officers and soldiers attack, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Bocai laughed and said, "Vice Marshal Peng is too worried, if the officers and soldiers dare to set fire, they really don't know how to write the dead word." ”

Just as they were talking, smoke suddenly rose from the front camp, and some soldiers ran to report in a panic: "Marshal Qiqi, the big thing is not good, the front camp is on fire."

Peng Tuo was shocked: "What? But the officers and soldiers attacked. ”

The soldier said, "That's not it, it's the men of the forward battalion who accidentally set fire to the haystack while lighting a fire. ”

Bo Cai said calmly: "What a panic, order the forward battalion to fight the fire." No water? Stupid, don't you know how to use sand? ”

The fire was very strong because it was lit with a large pile of hay, but fortunately it was a light southeast wind blowing, and with a large number of people, the fire was extinguished in less than half an hour.

Bo Cai glanced at Peng Tuo and said, "What's the matter?" If the officers and soldiers attack by fire, they will be burned to death. ”

Peng Tuo suddenly realized and said: "Now the southeast wind is blowing, and the officers and soldiers are attacking from Changshe, if they set fire, not only will they not burn the camp but will burn themselves, wonderful!" Dashuai is really a clever calculation. It turned out that the marshal was only stationed in the southeast and did not besiege the city on all sides, which had this deep meaning, so that he was humble and stupid. ”

Bocai was quite complacent and said: "It was originally a taboo for soldiers to set up camp according to the grass, and a certain person who has been familiar with military books since childhood, how can he not know the stakes involved?" For generals, what is needed is to judge the situation, and the fire attacker needs to use the wind, how can it burn without the wind? ”

Peng Tuo said: "Bo is handsome, although Sun Wu is alive, he will definitely not be a handsome opponent." ”

Bo Cai laughed and said: "It was originally a good policy to set up a camp according to the grass, if it weren't for the old treacherous and treacherous Huangfu Song, who secretly sent troops several times to cut off the grain and grass of our army, I would not have gathered so much grain and grass in the camp." Deputy Marshal Peng, pass the order, the battalions will rest early today, recuperate, and tomorrow they will devote their main forces to the first battle of the officers and soldiers, and they will complete their efforts in one battle, and they must take Changshe City! ”

Night had quietly fallen, and the 30,000 officers and soldiers in Changshe City were already on standby, and everyone was looking at the battle flag that was slightly waving to the west, silent, and the scene was as silent as death. Zhu Jun was a little breathless, now what he is most eager for is victory, with a hearty victory to save his dignity and save his fate, if the Changshe is really lost, what awaits him may be exile to the countryside and even imprisonment, so the desire to win is more urgent than anyone else.

Zhu Jun asked Liu Ze in a low voice: "Runde, can this northwest wind really blow?" ”

Liu Ze saw that it was already five minutes, and said with a slight smile: "General Zhu, don't be impatient, don't worry, this northwest wind will definitely come." ”

As he spoke, the battle flags flying in the wind had quietly turned, and in an instant, the wind was blowing, and all the battle flags were waving in the wind, pointing to the southeast in unison. All the people were in high spirits, and Huangfu Song immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and 30,000 troops rushed out and killed the Yellow Turban camp together.

Bocai didn't expect the officers and soldiers to attack at all, so the fortifications of the Yellow Turban Battalion were so-so, no deep trenches were dug or no horses were set up, and some fences were set up in front of the camp. With these crude fortifications, how can they withstand the officers and soldiers who are pouring in like a tide? The cavalry at the front threw their hooks and hooked the fence, and at the same time several horses retreated in unison, and the huge fence collapsed, and then the infantry who followed them rushed into the undefended Yellow Turban camp with a shout.

The Yellow Turban Battalion immediately exploded like a frying pan, and the Yellow Turbans who had just woken up from their sleep became a mess, with no soldiers, no weapons, and no voices of people, and chaos.

Peng Tuo, the deputy commander of the canal, was in charge of patrolling tonight, and when he heard that the officers and soldiers were coming to rob the camp, he did not panic, and immediately led the patrol team to the front camp. Officers and men raiding the camp at night have also happened many times before, and Bocai specially arranged for the patrol team to be responsible for the security of the large camp, and no matter which direction the officers and men attacked, the patrol team can always rush to the attack site at the first time and make every effort to protect it.

But this time Peng Tuo found that the situation was different, and when they formed a formation to defend, the officers and soldiers did not charge, nor did they retreat, and the cavalry in the vanguard flashed to both sides, revealing the rows of archers in the middle. At this time, the arrows in the archers were not ordinary arrows, the arrows were wrapped with strips of cloth soaked in oil, Huangfu Song gave an order, and the soldiers holding torches next to him quickly ignited the arrows with oilcloth in the hands of the archers, and then the rockets flew over Peng Tuo's head with a roar, and landed on the camp tent, in the haystack, and suddenly, the flames were blazing, the fire was soaring, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and the Yellow Turban camp fell into a sea of fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Peng Tuo immediately turned around and fled. The officers and men did not chase after them, but set fire to a larger area in the camp, and threw sulfur saltpeter into the fire, and for a time, the flames rose several feet high, and violent explosions came and went, and countless Yellow Turban soldiers struggled painfully and helplessly in the sea of fire, carrying the flames and frantically scurrying around, making terrible and desperate screams, and the air was filled with choking smoke and the smell of barbecue.

30,000 officers and soldiers were divided into 10 routes according to the predetermined plan, interspersed in the Yellow Turban camp to outflank, for the Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped from the sea of fire with difficulty, the sharp swords of the officers and soldiers were like a nightmare, wantonly harvesting their lives, many people did not have time to resist and went straight to the Huangquan Road to report to the king of Hades. Under the help of the northwest wind, the raging flames spread from the front camp to the tent of the Chinese army, and more grain and grass were piled up in the middle camp, and the fire became more unruly, and the height of the flames was as high as dozens of zhang, and it was like day within a radius of 100 miles.

Bocai had already fallen asleep, and the noise in the camp seemed to startle his good dreams, he turned over, and was about to scold, when his own soldiers ran in and reported in a panic: "Great handsome! The big thing is not good, the officers and soldiers have been killed, and now the company camp has been burned. ”

Bocai was furious: "What? Where is Pengtuo? "It's Peng Tuo who is in charge of patrolling tonight, and the patrol team that is attacking Peng Tuo should be able to deal with it, why is it a mess outside.
