The camp on the south bank and the camp on the east side.

Zhou Yu, who had just returned to the camp with his army, strode into the big tent, and while undressing his battle robe, he ordered the generals of each battalion to immediately send troops to search all the surroundings of the camp and the 30 miles outside the east gate.

With the orders of the generals to leave, only Zhou Yu, Xu Chu, Pang De and Ma Dai were left in the big tent. And they are also the commanders of each battalion, and their status is not much different from Zhou Yu, but they are temporarily ordered to wait for dispatch under Zhou Yu's account.

"The lord is angry, if it weren't for Gong Jin's initiative to ask for the guilt, I'm afraid we would have to be punished together!"

After Xu Chu, who was not leaving his body, sat down, he sighed in a low voice with a guilty face.

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly, and said with a straight face: "This time it is indeed our dereliction of duty and we should be punished." Fortunately, the lord was magnanimous, and it happened that the great war was imminent, so he was able to avoid punishment. But it is not unreasonable for the lord to be angry. We have been stationed here for more than 20 days, and there were no enemy troops around the camp before, but last night more than 200 scouts outside the east gate were silently wiped out, and we didn't know anything about it. This is a dereliction of duty, and it is no wonder that the lord is very unhappy about it.

We will definitely not tolerate such a thing happening to the soldiers and horses under our tent. Therefore, we must always maintain a high degree of vigilance, pay special attention to the surrounding qiē, and do not neglect the slightest bit. If there is no need for the lord to punish him, how can we lead a battalion of men? Do you think so? Obviously, Zhou Yu had realized that he had been a little arrogant before, so that there was a serious mistake. At this time, I want to make up for my mistakes, make up for my previous mistakes, and make up for my shortcomings. so that the merit may be atoned.

Xu Chu, Ma Dai and Pang De nodded one after another, fully agreeing with what Zhou Yu said. At this time, Pang De seemed to remember something, frowned and said: "According to what Gong Jin said, the last general remembered one thing, and he didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now it seems a little strange. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He immediately asked, "Ling Ming might as well say it bluntly, what is the matter?" ”

Pang De responded: "A few nights ago, Cao Jun went to bed very late every day. Late one night. When the last general led his troops on a night patrol, he accidentally saw a lot of charcoal piled up in the tent of Cao's camp, and there were thousands of soldiers carrying this charcoal overnight. So the last general went to inquire, and Cao Zhen explained, "That charcoal is left over from some time ago. Haven't had time to clean it up yet. Now that the weather is getting warmer, there is no need for charcoal, so it is moved to the back tent of the camp and stored, and then transported away after the war. ’

At that time, the general did not notice anything wrong, so he did not delve into it, after all, it was not surprising that it was not uncommon for large armies to carry some spare charcoal when they went on expeditions. But in retrospect, the last general felt that something seemed wrong, Cao Jun came from Yanzhou when he came to meet the alliance. If there is still charcoal left over from their retinue. That should also stay in Yanzhou, why go to great lengths to cross the river (Yellow River) with charcoal. Brought to the battlefield in Hebei? ”

"Charcoal with the army?" Zhou Yu groaned, his brows instantly furrowed, and he said suspiciously: "It's the end of April now, and it's early summer, why do you want to bring charcoal to the expedition at this time?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up with a "poof", and said with a shocked face: "Not good! I've got the trick up my sleeve! Hurry, hurry, hurry, quickly lead the army out of the camp, especially the war horse, not a single horse can stay in the camp! As he spoke, Zhou Yu beckoned his soldiers to step forward to help him put on his armor, and casually took off the robe hanging on the clothes pole.

Pang De seemed to have an understanding when he heard this, but he didn't understand it, while Xu Chu and Ma Dai had no clue, so they were surprised: "Why is Gong Jin so anxious? This ??????"

Zhou Yu raised his hand to signal that Ma Dai didn't need to say much, and said urgently: "The charcoal in Cao's camp is definitely not leftover, but deliberately brought from Yanzhou to deal with my Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" If I'm not mistaken, I'm sitting on the stove right now, and there must be charcoal buried around the tent. Once the camp is on fire, the charcoal that has been buried in the ground will ignite, and the consequences will be unimaginable. If that is the case, we will die?????? That's it, without further ado, I'll wait for the speed of the army to leave the camp. After leaving the camp, beat the drums and gather the generals, recall all the soldiers and horses sent out before, and then go to the east gate、、、 no, go directly to the south gate! ”

Just as Zhou Yu was walking and talking, Xu Chu walked out of the camp tent quickly, ran straight to the back of the camp, slashed to the ground with a knife, and saw that half an inch below the soil was black charcoal.

"What Gong Jin said is not bad at all, there is indeed a large amount of charcoal buried around the camp tent!" Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and said angrily with cold eyes.

At this time, Zhou Yu happened to walk out of the camp tent, and before he could speak after hearing Xu Chu's words, he saw thick smoke billowing over the west and the Chinese army camp, and there was a sound of horses neighing from the stables near the Chinese army camp.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu's face turned pale, his foot stepped into the air, and he fell forward suddenly. Fortunately, Xu Chu's eyes were quick, and an arrow stepped forward to support him, "Why is Gongjin 、、、, the camp is on fire!" The moment he stretched out his hand to support Zhou Yu, Xu Chu suddenly saw smoke rising behind Zhou Yu's tent, and the red flames were already clearly visible.

"Zhongkang, Zhongkang, quickly lead the troops out of the camp on foot, the sooner the better! Still stunned, hurry! This was the first time Zhou Yu yelled at Xu Chu and dragged Xu Chu forward.

"Walk the water, go to the water, get out of the camp, get out of the camp quickly??????"

"Sigh ———!"

"Hoohoo Hoo ———"

In the midst of an exclamation, the horses neighed, smoke billowed and chaos erupted. The blazing fire began in the western camp and quickly spread to the camp tent of the Chinese army, and then the smoke and red flames rushed to the western camp. In less than a quarter of an hour, the huge South Bank camp was enveloped in smoke, and in an instant, a raging fire engulfed the entire camp at a speed visible to the naked eye. Smoke rose into the sky, flames tumbled and roared, and startled horses roared and neighed madly out of the camp, with scorching flames on their tails??????

"Phew! Where can Zhou Yu'er escape, take his life! ”

Two hundred steps away from the gate of the camp, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi and Cao Zhen led 100,000 cavalry to block the gate of the camp. ”

With a loud shout, the bowstring shook, and tens of thousands of arrows roared into the air, mixed with javelin-like crossbow arrows. In an instant, the rain of arrows flew by like a meteor, roaring and rushing towards Zhou Yu's army who rushed out of the gate. The panicked Xiliang army was in chaos at this time, panicked horses, and the infantry and cavalry were mixed together, just blindly fleeing for their lives, and had no intention of resisting at all.

Immediately, with the rain of arrows rushing to the face, the Xiliang army was slaughtered again. The tragic scene was exactly the same as the ambush in Nancheng that had just ended, and the scene was even more tragic and the casualties were greater. But seeing that under the three consecutive 10,000 arrows, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops screamed and died, and the mountain of corpses forcibly blocked the Yuanmen, thus blocking no less than 20,000 soldiers behind the Yuanmen, and then being swallowed by the roaring and roaring sea of fire.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu, Xu Chu, Pang De, Ma Dai and other generals took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement and rushed to the south gate in a panic. Behind them, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi and Cao Zhen led a large army to follow and kill, and also followed them straight to the south gate??????

????????????????????????

"Report ——— fire broke out in the camp on the south bank, the fire is soaring, and the smoke has spread to the north bank!"

In the camp on the north shore, the scouts in charge of investigating the military situation rushed into the military tent and reported urgently.

"A fire in the camp?" Gao Shun, who stayed in the camp on the north bank, was shocked when he heard this, and immediately got up suddenly, ran to the outside of the camp tent, raised his eyes to look over the camp on the south bank, and saw thick smoke billowing out, so that the camp on the north bank standing twenty miles away could feel the scorching heat wave in the air (the wind direction at this time was southeast).

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Gao Shun's face changed again and again, his expression was extremely solemn, and he seemed to have thought of something extremely terrifying. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed lightly: "The camp on the south bank is over, General Zhou Yu has always used soldiers like a god, but I didn't expect to be so negligent this time, so that he was calculated by the villains!" A full army of 90,000, how many men and horses can be left after this fire? Zhou Yu?????? Hey, 90,000 troops are not a pity, but the lord must not have an accident! Obviously, Gao Shun had already guessed at this moment that there must have been an unpredictable change at the south gate of Yecheng, otherwise Zhou Yu's camp would not have suddenly caught fire. From this, he instantly thought that the situation of the lord Li Li at the moment must be very dangerous, and even more auspicious.

Suddenly, Gao Shun was worried, feeling powerless, even though he had the intention to send troops to rescue, he was worried. At present, he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his account, including 20,000 heavy armored infantry and 10,000 flying bear heavy armored cavalry, and the rest are 1,600 personal soldiers under the account of him, Hu Che'er, Huan Wolf, and Huan Leopard. This is the entire strength of the battalion left behind. And these soldiers and horses bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the grain and grass of the whole army, and not a single soldier is allowed to move without permission, this is a strict order that Li Li repeatedly told before leaving.

"Order Huan Wolf and Huan Leopard to lead the Flying Bear Heavy Armored Cavalry to immediately leave the camp and go to the south bank of the Zhanghe River to meet our soldiers, remember not to cross the river!" After weighing it repeatedly, Gao Shun was still not relieved of the safety of his lord Li Li, and resolutely decided to send troops out of the camp to meet the army on the north bank.

After the soldiers left, Gao Shun once again ordered the soldiers to inform the deputy commander Hu Che'er, and ordered him to lead 10,000 trapped camps to guard the grain and grass, while he himself personally led the rest of the soldiers and horses to garrison the camp Yuanmen.

However, what Gao Shun didn't expect was that not long after the Huan Wolf and Huan Leopard brothers led the troops out of the camp, the camp was attacked. Moreover, the enemy army that attacked the camp on the north bank was numerous, and it should be no less than 50,000 horses. Until this time, Gao Shun suddenly realized that the situation was even more severe than he expected, and the southern and northern camps on both sides of the Zhanghe River were attacked at the same time, which meant that the situation of the lord Li Li at this time was already extremely dangerous, and the auspicious was unpredictable??????
