Cao Cao's series of orders, in addition to feints and harassment to make the Chu army unclear about their true intentions, its fundamental purpose was to spill all flammable items such as alcohol and fuel oil on the Chu army's camp when the two armies were fighting, and he wanted to use this fire attack to consume the Chu army's vital strength and buy Meng Tian precious time.

At this moment, in the camp of the Chu army, there was wine and fuel everywhere, and at the moment when the first wave of rockets came, the terrifying flames instantly rose into the sky.

These flammable items, on weekdays, just a little spark is enough to cause a fire, and the appearance of tens of thousands of rockets caused by the raging fire is completely the Chu army's left and right front three camps into a sea of fire, at this moment, as if God wants to help the Qin army, the fire just burned, a gust of wind from above the clouds, wind, fire, the reaction caused by the encounter between the two is like a dry earth encountering a comfortable spring rain, hungry human beings see a hearty meal, that is already a booming fire, with the help of Tiangong, it burned deeper, but unfortunately, this gust of wind only lasted less than five minutes before stopping, but it was enough, because the fire completely spread from the position of the former monarch to the Chinese army!!

The blazing Chu camp was full of the mournful screams of the soldiers before they died, and the soldiers of the Chu army who were covered with fire were desperately begging for help, but at this time, who could take care of anyone, and even a soldier who was almost about to become a fire man rushed towards his former friend, hoping that he could help him extinguish the fire on his body, but all he got in exchange was a frightened look and a sharp arrow that pierced through his chest.

In the face of disaster and panic, the ugly nature of human beings is exposed.

With a loud bang, the military tent where the Chu army stored grain and grass exploded under the burning fire, and dozens of people were blown up on the spot.

In the case of the sealed wine tank and oil tank, the explosion is really normal, but this explosion made the fire more ferocious, and the military tent that stored the grain and grass of 300,000 people naturally could not be only one.

It can be seen that a deputy general of the Chu army, in the camp burned in the flames, kept waving the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly at the panicked Chu army beside him: "No chaos, no chaos, quickly send someone to extinguish the fire with the general...... With a whoosh, a rocket shot into his throat, and the fire above the arrow continued to burn the flesh and blood between his neck, before the temporary, all the deputy general could feel was the heart-rending pain, and the scorching flame, the splashing sound of burning the flesh and blood in his body, the Chu army beside him looked at his general in horror, but no one dared to step forward, they smelled the disgusting smell of burning, and finally everyone was on the verge of collapse.

With the help of the grain and grass of the Chu army, the fire spread to every corner of the Chinese army, even the rear army was affected, which Cao Cao did not expect, originally he thought that this fire could burn to the front of the Chinese army and have to burn high incense, but who knew that the fire was so fierce, although the effect of the gust of wind just now was great, but the most important thing was the grain and grass of the Chu army, Cao Cao didn't expect the Chu army to be so idiotic, put the grain and grass in the barracks, isn't this waiting for someone to burn?

This is not Xiang Yan's idiot, he also thought about putting the grain and grass in a farther place at the beginning, but he thought about it, what are you doing with that energy, the main battlefield is in their Chu country, and the Qin army is less than tens of thousands of people, and the grain and grass need to be guarded in other places, so simply put it in the barracks, which saves time and effort, Li Shimin and others also persuaded Xiang Yan to let him put the grain and grass in the county town not far away, but after listening to Xiang Yan's words, they found that they couldn't find anything to refute, after all, what people said is reasonable, the time and place are favorable, the Chu army occupies all three, of course, and the most important point, the country of Chu is rich in land and resources, the land of fish and rice, even if the Qin army burns the grain and grass, they will be able to transport it soon, this is the saying goes, rich and capricious!!

And the willfulness of the Chu army finally made them suffer, the power of the explosion of alcohol, fuel and oil is not too great, but in the current situation, it is undoubtedly the second straw that overwhelms the camel, and the panic they bring to the soldiers is unimaginable, as for the last straw........

Looking at the Chu camp in front of him, Li Xin was indescribably excited, every pore on his body was trembling, a god-given opportunity, a real God-given opportunity, Li Xin, who was standing on the war horse, gently pulled out the sword on his waist, glanced at the 10,000 Qin troops who had been waiting for a long time behind him, and roared: "Qin army, attack!! โ€

"Kill, four thousand cavalry followed Li Xin and rushed out first, six thousand foot soldiers followed, 10,000 Qin troops rushed into the Chu army's camp and rampage, rushing back and forth in the three camps, the Chu army soldiers, looking at the Qin army that looked particularly fierce and vicious under the light of the fire, couldn't help but recall that in the past few years, they were hung and beaten by the Qin army, and the king of Chu himself thought that the Qin army was a god descending from heaven, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, the Qin army was a real god in their eyes, a god that could not be violated.

The Chu army, which had originally accumulated invincible confidence because of a great victory outside the city father, finally disappeared in this fire.

Luo Cheng, who was dressed in silver armor, looked at the fire in front of him and the countless Qin troops, brandished the five-hook bright silver spear in his hand and fought with the Qin army who rushed to fight without fear, but the soldiers who followed him were less than a few thousand, and the 40,000 former army battalion, in the rocket and the subsequent fire, only reimbursed less than 2,000 people, but looking at the Qin army with a hideous face in front of him, looking at the burning Chu character banner in the sea of fire, and the companions struggling in the fire, finally, the first Chu soldier soldier, because he couldn't bear this purgatory-like scene, with an exclamation, he threw away the weapons around him, and fled far away, the staggering figure, with an expression of extreme fear, as if behind him, a ghostly ghost was chasing him for his life.

People's emotions are contagious, especially before this apocalyptic scene, everything such as military orders has been left behind, more and more Chu troops can not bear the psychological pressure, and become deserters, less than ten minutes of effort, tens of thousands of people have fled, among which some people were trampled to death by their companions in a hurry, and finally turned into flames.

War is always cruel, people who have not seen this scene in person will not understand the mood of these soldiers in front of them at the moment, at this time, after Li Xin launched an attack, 2,228 Mengjia soldiers, also under the leadership of Meng Tian, rushed towards the Chinese army.

.......

The sky-high fire reflected the entire night sky as bright as the day, even hundreds of miles away can clearly see the billowing smoke and terrifying fire, Xiang Yan and Li Shimin and others from the fire to the present, they have stood outside the tent and watched quietly, until now they have not reacted to what happened.

Looking at the burning tents around him, the soldiers who were so flustered that they didn't know what to do, Xiang Yan sat on the ground, looking at everything in front of him with a dull gaze, how could it be ...... Fortunately, Xiang Yan himself is also a generation of famous generals, and after losing his mind for a moment, he immediately made a decision: "Pass on the order of the commander, the Chinese army will transfer 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the rear army will transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses, led by Shimin, quickly extinguish the fire in the camp for me, and at the same time encircle and suppress the Qin army." โ€

Li Shimin immediately ordered, Pei Yuanqing, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Ding Yanping and four people, with an army of 90,000, went to each battalion to extinguish the fire, and killed the Qin army who took advantage of the fire in the camp, Li Shimin persuaded before leaving: "Marshal, the fire is too fierce, let General Yuwen protect you to the rear army, so as not to have any accidents." โ€

Xiang Yan bowed his head and said: "Well, the people of the world are reasonable, Chengdu, with the general temporarily retreating from the rear army, in addition, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, the three of you take 40,000 soldiers and horses to guard here, in addition to extinguishing the fire of the Chinese army, you also want to capture Meng Tian for me, if the old man is not mistaken, he will arrive soon." โ€

"The last general commands."

Soon after Li Shimin led the army to extinguish the fire, Meng Tian, who was covered with the blood of the enemy, had already rushed to the junction of the left army and the Chinese army, along the way, although Meng Tian encountered the resistance of the Chu army, but these people were at most more than a thousand remnants of the army who were frightened by the fire led by a deputy general, and it didn't take ten minutes, under the joint siege of several Iron Eagle Warriors, the deputy general's head was cut off, and the Chu troops around saw that the deputy general was killed, and all the weapons in their hands were lost.

At this moment, Meng Tian could almost already see the banner of the Chinese army, but at this moment, a tiger general, holding a two-bar sledgehammer, rushed towards Meng Tian with more than 3,000 people and said: "The thief will be killed, and Liang Shi Tailai will also come." โ€

Seeing more and more Chu troops around him extinguishing the fire under the command of the generals, Meng Tian became more and more restless, this is a war of time, if he did not rush out of the Chu army camp with Meng Wu's head before the fire was extinguished, then he would not be able to go back in this life, regardless of the persuasion of the soldiers behind him, Meng Tian asked Vice General Liu to take thirty iron eagle warriors and a thousand soldiers to grab Meng Wu's head, and he stayed to kill the general first.

Vice General Liu also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he immediately led his men and horses towards the Chinese army camp.

There was a clash of gold and iron.

Meng Tian lifted the Longyuan Sword in his hand, and Liang Shitai, who came on horseback, made a fierce move.
