Chapter 209: Ambush
The general's face was blue and white for a while, he naturally knew that this sneak attack on the Yellow Turban Army's grain and grass camp was a very risky thing, and the possibility of the entire army being wiped out was very high, almost the result of ten deaths, the reason why he said this was just to make a familiar face in General Pingdong.

Let him personally lead the troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army's food and grass camp, isn't that just to seek death?
The general was very shrewd, and immediately stopped talking, snorted and hid behind the others.
Zhou Ye turned to the other generals and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any way for anyone to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Cao Cao stepped forward at this time, hugged his hand and said to Zhou Ye: "There is a way to retreat from the enemy, only a heavenly fire is needed to burn up the millions of talented troops outside the city of Changshe, and they will be wiped out." ”
Cao Cao's tone was very reluctant, as if the million Yellow Turban Army outside Changshe City was like a dough that he could knead at will.
"Hmph, Cao Duwei has a big tone. Return the fire in the sky, I want to see if there will be a fire in the sky for you, Captain Cao. Some generals finally found an opportunity and rebuked Cao Cao for being arrogant and untruthful.
Cao Cao ignored these people, just smiled confidently and looked at Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye was curious, so he asked, "What Tianhuo?" Can it be so powerful? How do we get this heavenly fire? ”
Cao Cao smiled and explained Zhou Ye's confusion: "This heavenly fire is in our own hands. ”
Cao Cao said and turned to face the generals in the tent, but he didn't squint, as if none of these people could be put in his eyes, this is a kind of arrogance or self-confidence, looking down on the world.
"It's summer, the air is hot, and the Yellow Turban Army is stationed in a wooded and grassy area. This is a natural furnace, and the millions of Yellow Turban soldiers are now placed in such a furnace.
We only need a fire to defeat these Yellow Turban Army, and together with Zhu Jun in the city, General Huangfu Song will kill this wave of talented army! ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, and no one could refute Cao Cao's big stroke. As long as this is the case, the plan is successful, and the Yellow Turban Army will be defeated!
Cao Cao conquered everyone present with his clever schemes, and Zhou Ye, the general of Pingdong, also praised Cao Cao's clever tricks again and again.
"Report to the general, a soldier in Changshe City escaped from the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army by luck, and brought a message from Lord Huangfu Song."
"Bring him here." Zhou Ye hurriedly ordered, and after the soldier entered the camp, Zhou Ye asked, "What did General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun ask you to bring?" ”
The soldier said: "The two generals observed that the Yellow Turban army outside the city was forming a grass joint camp, it was summer at this time, if there was a big fire, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Thief Kou would be calm." Please ask General Pingdong to set fire to the Yellow Turban Bocai Army outside the city on the night after five days! ”
Zhou Ye looked at Cao Cao and praised him sincerely: "Mr. Xu Shao's vision is really good." Meng De, you are indeed a capable minister who rules the world. ”
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Now we can immediately store fire, fire and other things, and prepare to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song in five days." Be careful, remember to keep it secret, and don't let the Yellow Turbans find out about the news and our plans. ”
Seeing these NPC generals nervously busy, talking about the way their eyebrows fluttered when they were attacking, Lin Ran felt a sense of sadness.
Historically, the army of Huangfu Song eliminated the Yellow Turban Army besieging Changshe City through fire, but in the current situation, can such a plan still succeed?
He already knew through the Internet that the hundreds of thousands of players in the Yellow Turban camp had already begun to guard against the fire attack of the imperial army, and it was absolutely impossible to let the tragedy of history recur a second time.
Hundreds of thousands of players of the Yellow Turban Army, in just half a month, have cleared all the lush places on the periphery of the camp, and also set up heavy fortifications on the periphery, digging a large number of fire ditches, every day there are a large number of Yellow Turban players defending on this line of defense, and at night, the lights are bright, and not a single mouse can slip in.
With such tight defensive measures, it was not even possible for the imperial army to destroy the Yellow Turban Army outside the city through a surprise fire attack.
But looking at the preparations of the Yellow Turban Army, Lin Ran didn't want to speak out against them, to touch their mold, it was better to wait for him to suffer a loss, and then talk about it.
In order to smoothly carry out the fire attack plan, the imperial army did not immediately approach the Yellow Turban Army and start a war with the Yellow Turban Bocai Army, but found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, built a large number of fortifications, and waited quietly, waiting for the signal of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's army in Changshe City.
Five days later, in the middle of the night, Cao Cao personally selected 800 elite dead soldiers from the NPC soldiers of the imperial court, carried fire and ignition materials, and secretly lurked in the place where the Yellow Turban Army was stationed outside the city of Changshe, waiting for the agreed signal of the army in the city.
In the middle of the night, the sky was dotted with stars, the lighting conditions were not bad, and when a bright moon rose in the sky, faintly pointing to the east, a rocket suddenly broke through the silence in the sky, flew from the city to the sky, burst, and exploded a bright spark, which was clearly visible ten miles outside the city.
"The army in the city has been dispatched, and we will also go up together and immediately set fire to the camp of the Yellow Turbans." Among the dead soldiers responsible for arson in the imperial army, the leader was Cao Cao, and this operation was very important and determined whether the imperial army could achieve the final victory, so Cao Cao personally went into battle and led this group of dead soldiers to carry out the operation.
However, for the sake of safety, Cao Cao also brought his clan brother and Xiahou Yuan to act with him.
Cao Cao led the army to rush to the front of the Yellow Turban Army, under the darkness of the night, the Yellow Turban Army's defense was lax, they easily mixed into the periphery of the Yellow Turban Army, and were about to take out the torches and tinder in their hands to set fire, but found that there were no weeds around, there was a bare patch everywhere, not even a single hair, in such a place, it was impossible to set fire.
"What's going on? When we came to investigate a few days ago, we saw that it was still flourishing. How did it become this barren land today? Cao Cao said in surprise.
"Haha, court dog thieves, you have fallen for the tricks of my family's Qu Shuai!" Around Cao Cao and the eight hundred dead soldiers, suddenly a fire broke out, and bright torches exposed Cao Cao and his dead soldiers.
Cao Cao looked around, these Yellow Turban troops who ambushed him, to say the least, there were thousands of people, it seemed that the other party had been planning for a long time, and had already expected their actions, and he didn't know if they were betrayed or other reasons. Today, he is in a very dangerous situation. (To be continued.) )
