Chapter 62: The Burning of the Long Shrine (I)
As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more. Wang Xu, who was anxious, kept looking up at the sky, but he could only stare dryly! Fortunately, because of the upcoming rain, it will get dark faster than expected!
"Husband, see if it's time to do it, although it's not completely dark now, I can't see things in the distance very clearly. It will take a while for this fire to burn, and if it just starts to rain all the time, it will be miserable! ”
At this moment, Wang Xu's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and the underwear inside the armor was soaked with sweat because of excessive tension! But he still forced himself to smile calmly: "No, if the fire is lit now, maybe the fire is not big yet, the other party can find it in time and quickly extinguish it, that will only be worse!" Wait......"
Gao Shun and Wang Fei in the distance were as anxious as grasshoppers in the pot, and their eyes would look at Wang Xu every few seconds! After all, no matter who it was, they could see that it was about to rain, but Wang Xu didn't say anything to them. And out of trust in Wang Xu, coupled with his current iron blue face, the two of them never dared to ask, so they could only be in a hurry!
At this moment, Wang Xu deeply understood what pressure is! A hundred pairs of eyes full of confusion stared at him tightly, and no matter who he was, he was a little panicked! But as the main general, he could only suppress the panic in his heart and pretend to be calm! Crawling in the weeds, he felt the coldness of the constant whistling north wind on his cheeks, and seemed to have a slight coolness in his heart because of this! The swaying of the weeds in the wind, and the gradual rise of the fire in the military camp in the distance, this originally very poetic picture made him almost on the verge of madness......
But fate always likes to play a joke on everyone, and the black clouds that are churning in the sky are drifting around without the slightest hint of rain, and the night is already completely open......
Seeing that it was dark, the rain still did not fall. Wang Xu couldn't care so much, gritted his teeth fiercely, slapped a few times, and after attracting everyone's attention, he immediately lowered his voice and shouted: "Everyone put on the yellow scarf!" Check each of them for something that ignites the fire, and each of the hay prepared in advance has a tuft in their hands! Be quick! ”
With a fiddling sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo", a moment later, all the warriors responded in low voices!
Because of the urgency of time, Wang Xu didn't have time to check them one by one, and after hearing everyone's response, he waved his hand: "According to the original plan, do it!" ”
With an order, Gao Shun and Wang Fei, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't say a word, and immediately led their respective thirty warriors to lurk towards the left and right sides of the Yellow Turban Camp!
About five minutes later, Wang Xu, who was silently calculating the time in his heart, did not wait for the movement on both sides, and immediately shouted to the more than 30 warriors behind him who could no longer hold back: "Brothers, come with me!" ”
After speaking, he picked up a tuft of hay and bowed down and rushed towards the Yellow Turban camp!
Because the sky was already very dark, and there was a howling north wind and dense grass cover, Wang Xu easily led everyone to lurk a hundred steps away from the Yellow Turban Camp!
Glancing at the sleepy sentinels on the sparse Yellow Turban Arrow Tower in the distance, Wang Xu didn't say a word, the flint slammed and quickly ignited it with velvet!
After getting the fire, Wang Xu did not hesitate, quickly ignited the hay, and then grabbed the other end and kept burning the surrounding grass! Seeing that the fire was rising unquickly, Wang Xu couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Who is the one with the oil?" Quick, sprinkle a little bit on the lit area! ”
"Poof! Burst! Poof......"
With the full cooperation of everyone, almost in a moment, a large patch of grass in front of them was already on fire! And the sentinels on the arrow tower in the distance also noticed the movement here for the first time, and immediately opened their mouths and shouted: "Someone! Someone! Someone is setting fire in the grass! ”
Frightened, these soldiers woke up from a drowsy and quickly pulled the brass bell hanging above the arrow tower!
"Bell! Clang! The sound of the metal crashing ...... the bell quickly shatters the silence of the night!
Seeing that he was discovered, Wang Xu was the first to stand up, grabbed a clump of weeds that had been partially burned, and quickly ran to the right, igniting more grass along the way, while shouting: "It's on fire!" It's on fire! The Han army is here to burn the camp, and the large army led by Huangfu Song is coming from there, everyone run! ”
With Wang Xu's actions, the warriors behind him also followed, and for a while, the cries were everywhere, and the spread of the fire soared! Wang Xu clearly saw that the torches, oil lamps and other lighting tools in the Yellow Turban camp had been quickly lit up, and the columns of soldiers were still rapidly assembling although they were in turmoil!
Just when Wang Xu was a little anxious, the fires on the left and right sides also appeared in the eyes of everyone, and they spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Haha! Gao Shun and the second brother live up to my expectations! Wang Xu, who was overjoyed in his heart, was not slow in his body, and his voice was louder, and together with the warriors behind him, he was constantly changing the grass clusters that were on fire, waving and setting fire everywhere!
And the reaction in the distant Changshe City was not slow, seeing the fire here, Huangfu Song, who had long been looking forward to it, immediately asked the soldiers to move out a full thirty drums and beat them violently! The majestic drum sound shook the whole heaven and earth, and the beating in people's hearts seemed to make people's blood beat wildly!
Immediately afterwards, countless fires also rose on the side of the Changshe, echoing the fire of the Yellow Turban Camp! At the same time, Huangfu Song also decisively dispatched troops and rushed to the Yellow Turban Battalion.
And the officers and men of the whole army were still shouting in unison as they marched. "The fire plan has been successful, and the death of the Yellow Turban Thief has arrived! Everyone, rush! ”
How spectacular it is for tens of thousands of people to roar hoarsely! With the current fierce fire and the shouts of Wang Xu and others around. The Yellow Turban Battalion exploded in an instant, not to mention the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, even some generals were panicked and in a mess. Although there are also many people organizing and gathering, but now that it is too dark, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are not prepared, when they see the pieces of imperial army faintly flashing in the firelight, where can they understand what to do?
Seeing this scene, Wang Xu's hanging heart finally let go. He had no scruples, and immediately cheered and roared and cooperated with Gao Shun and Wang Fei tacitly, each responsible for an area, and burned the northern half of the Yellow Turban Camp together.
At the same time, the vanguard cavalry sent by Huangfu Song also rushed to the outside of the Yellow Turban Camp as soon as possible, but did not immediately charge, but instead ran around the circle, and a piece of rocket also fiercely pounced on the Yellow Turban Camp that was gradually chaotic.
"Whew! Whew! "At this time, the Yellow Turban Camp is really in trouble, many big tents are burning, the fire borrows the wind, and the wind borrows the fire! In the blink of an eye, it had spread all over the place, and the cries, screams, panicked shouts of fear and the angry rebuke of the generals in the Yellow Turban camp were suddenly connected, and they looked even more chaotic in the thick firelight!
But after all, the Yellow Turban thieves have an army of nearly 100,000, and they are not so easy to clean up. Under the organization of some generals who were a bit of a book, there were soon better troops assembled in the chaos, and gradually affected the other Yellow Turban soldiers!
Huangfu Song, who was a hundred paces away from the Jingli camp, observed this phenomenon and did not hesitate, and immediately ordered loudly: "Prepare the cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the east of the Yellow Turban Camp!" Whoever rushes into the camp of the thief army first will be rewarded! ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
Hearing this, the generals suddenly let out a cry almost like beasts, and the rushing cavalry quickly assembled in a queue and launched a deadly charge towards the Yellow Turban Battalion under the leadership of the generals......
