A group of men and horses appeared behind the army, and it was clear that there was no other Cao army in the area of Cao Ren, so he would not think that it was his own army.

Although he sent many manpower to investigate the movements of the Qin army, except for the Qin army led by Lü Bu and the Qin army guarding Xia Cai, Cao Ren almost did not know where the Qin army was.

The soldiers brought the war horse, Cao Ren turned over and jumped on the horse, waved behind him, and shouted: "Pick up the army and go with a certain person to protect the grain and grass!" ”

Before Cao Ren could determine who was coming from behind, he had already made a decision to protect the grain and grass, and his reaction could not be said to be unpleasant.

However, Yu Linwei, who was killed from the hillside, was closer to the place where Cao Jun hoarded military rations.

At first, Yu Linwei killed from the hillside, but Cao Jun, who was in charge of guarding the military rations, didn't pay much attention to it, they even thought that it was Cao Jun who was patrolling nearby who rushed down the hillside.

Yu Linwei rushed down the hillside without the slightest delay, and rushed straight towards the place where Cao Jun had hoarded military rations.

"Not good! It's Qin Jun! When Yu Linwei rushed to a place only thirty or fifty paces away from Cao's army, Cao's army, who was guarding the army's rations, realized that it was the enemy, and some of them were already shouting loudly.

The Qin army suddenly appeared, and Cao Jun, who was guarding the military rations, hurriedly picked up his weapon and wanted to step forward to stop it.

It's just that their reaction is really slow, most of them have just touched the weapon, and Gao Shun has already led Yulin Wei to kill them in front of them.

A long sword was raised high, and Yu Linwei on horseback slashed the long sword towards Cao Jun without dragging the mud and water.

Before many Cao soldiers could resist at all, they were slashed to the ground by Yu Linwei.

There were also some Cao troops, who felt their weapons and set up a simple defensive formation before Yu Linwei rushed towards them.

However, their numbers were too small to withstand the impact of Yulin Wei's galloping horse, and they were just knocked into pieces in an instant.

led Yu Linwei and killed into the place where Cao Jun was storing grain, Gao Shun waved a big knife and slashed Cao Jun in front of him to the ground, while shouting: "Set fire to the grain!" ”

Before Gao Shun gave the order, many Yu Linwei had already rushed to the vicinity of the military rations, and when they heard his shout, those Yu Linwei hurriedly took out the fire folds, lit the torches, and threw the torches at the military rations.

Finding that an army appeared behind the camp, Cao Ren led his soldiers and horses to gallop to help, and the grain storage place was already burning with raging fires.

Seeing the flames that almost turned the night sky red, Cao Ren was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to Cao Jun behind him: "Speed up!" ”

Where would Cao Jun, who guarded the grain and grass, be Yu Linwei's opponent, and was quickly dispersed by Yu Linwei.

Ignited Cao Jun's grain and grass, Gao Shun did not order Yu Linwei to withdraw immediately, he had to ensure that the grain and grass were completely burned, even if Cao Jun extinguished the fire, it would not be able to save the grain and grass.

The flames burned more and more, and Gao Shun, who was standing in front of the flames, could even feel the heat of the flames baking his back.

The black-pressed Cao Jun gradually appeared in Gao Shun's field of vision, staring at the Cao Jun who appeared in front of him, Gao Shun's hand holding the handle of the knife tightened a little tighter.

The five thousand forest guards, looking at the Cao army that appeared, were also full of solemnity, just waiting to start a desperate fight with the Cao army.

Yu Linwei hadn't experienced such a grand battle for too long, and now they were facing Cao Jun, who was several times more numerous than them, not only was there no nervousness in their hearts, but everyone even had some faint expectations.

The fire behind him became more and more fierce, and all the military rations were engulfed in flames, Gao Shun turned his head and glanced back, and then looked at the Cao army in front of him, and shouted to the Yulin guards: "Withdraw!" ”

At the sound of an order, Gao Shun lifted the reins and rode his horse up the dirt slope he had observed earlier.

Before they could engage the Cao army, they were about to retreat, and the Yulin guards were a little unwilling in their hearts.

But since Gao Shun has already given the order, it means that their task has been completed, and it doesn't make much sense to stay here any longer.

Unwilling, but none of Yu Linwei questioned Gao Shun's order, and five thousand people turned their horses one after another and followed Gao Shun up the dirt slope.

Riding a horse in the mountains and forests is not as refreshing as riding a horse in the plains, and the feather forest guards on horseback go up the dirt slope, and after burrowing into the mountain forest, their bodies or cheeks will be rubbed by the branches on both sides of each step, and many of them even have their cheeks scratched by the branches.

He led Cao's army to rush to the grain storage area, and in the distance, Cao Ren saw a group of men and horses withdrawing to the hillside behind the grain storage office.

Seeing Yu Linwei who was retreating from a distance, Cao Ren had already raised one of his arms, and finally put it down again.

General Cao Jun, who was riding a horse and following him, saw that he raised his arm and was ready to lead the army to chase and kill, but when he suddenly put his hand down again, several generals were stunned on their faces.

"Fight the fire!" Cao Ren did not give an order to hunt down Yu Linwei, but only gave an order to put out the fire to a few generals beside him.

Although he didn't understand why Cao Ren didn't let them go to chase and kill the Qin army, several partial generals didn't dare to disobey him, greeted Cao Jun behind him, and rode their horses towards the fire.

When Yu Linwei retreated, the fire was already burning very strongly, and the lit grain and grass made a "zizi" sound, and the whole wilderness was filled with a scorched smell.

Rushing to the burning grain and grass, the soldiers of the Cao army, under the leadership of those few partial generals, jumped off their horses one after another, some of them searched for water on the spot, and others simply took off their clothes and put on the burning flames.

The raging flames burned more and more with the help of the evening breeze, and although the soldiers of the Cao army were fighting the flames, the flames still jumped as if they did not look at these small human beings at all.

Standing far away from the fire, Cao Ren frowned, looking at the figure of Cao Jun who was busy fighting the flames outside the fire, he ordered a personal soldier behind him: "Pass the order, the rear formation will change to the front formation, and withdraw to the periphery of Shouchun." ”

At the same time that Cao Ren gave the order to withdraw Shouchun, on a hill outside Shouchun City, Tai Shici saw the sky-high fire in the distance, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You go to Shouchun immediately, inform the defenders in the city that the grain and grass of the army was burned by the Qin army, and ask them to prepare grain and grass immediately and send it to the army!" Looking at the night sky in the distance, which was reddened by the flames, Tai Shi Ci commanded to his side.

Standing beside him were hundreds of soldiers wearing Cao Jun's armor.

After receiving Tai Shici's order, these hundreds of soldiers clenched their fists and bowed, and they all lowered their voices in response.

After answering, the officer leading the group of soldiers beckoned, and hundreds of people ran to the war horse not far away, turned over and jumped on horseback, and rode the horse in the direction of Shouchun.

Seeing hundreds of soldiers wearing Cao Jun's clothes and armor riding their horses and galloping down the hill, Tai Shici instructed one of his own soldiers behind him: "Immediately order, all arms are ready to fight, once the gate of Shouchun City is opened, we will enter the city!" ”

The soldiers standing behind Tai Shi Ci responded with their fists clenched, turned around and ran to convey Tai Shi Ci's order.

Tai Shici ordered the army to prepare for the siege, put on the clothes and armor of the Cao army, and the soldiers and horses who were ordered to go to deceive Shouchun City to open the city gate were running towards the Shouchun City Gate non-stop after going down the mountain.

Hundreds of people rode war horses and galloped towards the Shouchun City Gate.

Outside the gate of Shouchun City, the leading officer reined in his war horse and shouted towards the city: "Hurry up and open the city!" ”

The distant skyrocketing fire has attracted the attention of the Cao army defending the city, many Cao soldiers stood at the head of the city, looking at the fire connecting heaven and earth in the distance, and did not know what was happening, the shouts of the officers suddenly came from the city, and immediately attracted many Cao soldiers to look at the city.

Many sticking out heads appeared on the head of the city, and the officer who called the city gate did not panic at all, and shouted again at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and open the city!" ”

"Who are you waiting for?" Seeing that there were hundreds of people outside the city waiting to open the city, the officer of the Cao Army, who was in charge of guarding the city, would not open the city gate lightly, and asked the officer outside the city very vigilantly.

"Our army's grain and grass were set on fire for the Qin army, and the general issued an order that grain and grass should be prepared immediately in Shouchun City to protect the army, and you dare to refuse to open the city gate?" After being asked, the voice of the officer outside the city gate suddenly raised, raised his hand and pointed at the officer of the Cao army who was speaking on the city wall, and shouted angrily: "Do you dare to delay the army's military rations?" ”

The sky-high fire in the distance just confirmed the words of the officers outside the city, and the officers of the Cao Army at the head of the city did not dare to slack off, and shouted outside the city: "You wait a little longer, I will go and ask the general!" ”

The officer guarding the city did not dare to open the door lightly, and it was also reasonable, the officer who led hundreds of people to call the door would not force him too tightly, so he raised his head and shouted to him: "Go quickly, the military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay!" ”

The officer at the head of the city did not say a word, but turned around and ran towards a wall of the city a little farther away.

At the head of the city wall, a general of the Cao army was pressing the hilt of his sword with one hand, looking at the fire in the distance.

"General Qiyu, there are 100 people from outside the city, saying that our army's grain and grass were burned by the Qin army, and they specially returned to the city to prepare military rations!" The officer who had been talking to the outside of the city ran behind the general, bowed with his fists, and reported to the general.

Hearing the officer's report, the general was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and muttered: "It's not right! Not long after the fire was ignited, why did people come back so quickly to get food? ”

muttering in his heart, the partial general did not dare to be too careless about this matter, waved his hand at the officer who reported to him, and said, "Go and have a look with General Ben!" ”

The officer answered, followed the general, and walked towards the section of the city wall where there were people waiting outside the city.

Accompanied by the officers, the general soon came to the section of the city wall where there were people waiting outside the city, held the battlements with both hands, and looked out of the city.
