Chapter 125: Burning Xiahou Yuan (Ask for Subscription!) )
"Run, run!" Someone in the rear was running and yelling.
The ranks became chaotic, and the soldiers of the baggage troops at the back did not even want the baggage vehicles, and ran forward one by one as if they were crazy.
Before the soldiers of the rear team could figure out what the situation was, they were rushed by a large number of sergeants of the baggage troops, and many of them even got into the reeds on the side of the road in order to run forward.
The heat wave came one after another, getting closer and closer, and the fire burned more and more violently with the help of the wind, and the speed of the fire was getting faster and faster, and the speed of the wind could be as fast as the fire could eventually reach.
Seeing the overwhelming fire sweeping in the rear, the Cao army sergeants were frightened, These people are also people who have been hovering on the edge of life and death on the battlefield many times, Many people have picked up a life, they are not afraid of death on the battlefield, but in the face of this kind of power of heaven and earth, everyone is frightened.
What military discipline, what order, what loyalty, all fuck it, it's all about getting out of here.
Almost all of a sudden, Cao Jun was all out of order, and the narrow road was so crowded that there was almost no gap, and everyone was running wildly.
Weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, all discarded, fuck it, and fight a bullshit fight, thank God for leaving this hellish place alive.
"General, let's go!" The adjutant general saw the overwhelming fire sweeping in the rear, and many sergeants were engulfed in it, let out a terrible roar, and slashed at Xiahou Yuan's horse's buttocks.
The horse let out a neighing sound, and galloped forward.
As the fire swept in, countless Cao Jun sergeants were devoured, and at this moment, everyone understood why there was such a layer of reeds on the ground, and dared to feel that this was a tomb built for them by the enemy!
The Cao Jun sergeants who were engulfed in the fire burned all over their bodies, and they let out terrible screams, and one by one they were burned and rolled around, and soon disappeared into the flames.
The speed of the fire was moving faster and faster, and the Cao army in front of him was getting closer and closer, Xiahou Yuan was galloping his horse and looking back, but suddenly he crashed into a pile of reeds, and the whole person was planted in it.
"General!" The deputy general and others behind him were shocked, and immediately jumped off their horses to rescue, and soon pulled Xiahou Yuan out of the pile of reeds.
Xiahou Yuan saw that the road in front of him was full of reeds, and there were also reeds on both sides of the road, and the fire behind was sweeping in.
"It's over, it's over, I can't imagine that I, Xiahou Yuan, will die here!" Xiahou Yuan let out a long sigh.
At this time, the adjutant general next to him had an idea and immediately shouted: "General, I have a way!" Soldiers, quickly follow me to cut down the reeds, cut down a reed as fast as possible, as long as the reeds are cut down, I will be safe! He immediately drew his sword and rushed into the reeds beside him and began to cut down.
Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, threw away his spear, pulled out his sword and shouted: "What are you still stunned for?" Hack! ”
More than 100 cavalrymen jumped off their horses, drew their swords, and chopped the reeds together, and it didn't take long for the fire to sweep in, and the cuts on the ground began to burn violently.
The terrifying heat instantly roasted the living hundred and ten war horses to death and convulsed······
I don't know how long it took, but the scorching temperature gradually dropped, the soil on the ground loosened, and one hand stretched out, followed by a second, and a man lifted the dirt, spit out the reed pipe in his mouth, and coughed violently.
Seven or eight people also came out of the ground nearby, and the charred and charred corpses were lying everywhere on the surrounding ground.
Xiahou Yuan, whose face was black and most of his hair had been burned, staggered around, and when he saw a corpse on the ground, his heart kept dripping blood.
"Five thousand centaurs, the real five thousand centaurs, that's it, that's it, it's over, hahaha······"
The adjutant general ran over to support Xiahou Yuan, "General······ Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the general must not think about it, the prime minister regards the general as his right-hand man, the general often must not be discouraged, victory or defeat is a common thing in the army, the general does not need to mind! ”
Xiahou Yuan stood in the middle of the full body of corpses for a whole hour, "Let's go, go back to see the prime minister, and confess to the prime minister!" ”
Xiahou Yuan's vanguard was actually not far from Cao Cao's main army, only a day's journey, and at noon, Xiahou Yuan and other seven or eight people waited for Cao Cao's main army outside Changshe County.
Cao Cao was riding on horseback, and a small colonel in front of him, Pegasus, came to report: "Prime Minister, General Xiahou asks to see you!" ”
Cao Cao was stunned, "General Xiahou? Which Xiahou general? ”
"Xiahou Yuan!"
"What? Didn't he take the vanguard with us a day's journey? Why is he still here? Cao Cao asked loudly.
"This ······ The prime minister will know when he sees General Xiahou! Xiao Xiao hesitated and said.
"What about others?"
"Just in front, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up, only saying that he asked to see the prime minister!"
Cao Cao sighed in his heart, something bad, it must be a bad thing, otherwise how could Xiahou Yuan be like this?
He immediately galloped on his horse, and saw seven or eight dark people kneeling beside the road, and one of them was not Xiahou Yuan?
"Miaocai, what are you?"
Xiahou Yuan bowed down and said: "The last general was careless, he encountered an enemy ambush in Luedang on the way to the march, and the enemy burned my 5,000 men and horses with a fire. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and then laughed: "Hahaha······ Miaocai, Miaocai, you have always been bold and careful, good at long-distance running, and you always like to go out by day and night when marching, how about it, this time you were caught by your weakness and punished severely, right? ”
Xiahou Yuan sighed: "Prime Minister, the last general is aggrieved, the enemy army did not fire a single arrow, and killed my five thousand elite soldiers without moving a single soldier, and the last general didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and the five thousand heroic souls under his command died without turning a blind eye!" ”
Cao Cao stepped forward to help Xiahou Yuan up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's only five thousand people, aren't you aggrieved in your heart?" This must have been done by Liu Bei, I will give you another 5,000 men, you go and repair Liu Bei for me, can you do it? ”
Xiahou Yuan immediately said: "The last general and Liu Bei have a deep enmity like the sea, if you don't beat him all over the ground to find teeth, you will never return to the army!" ”
"Well, although I will give you another 5,000 men and horses this time, then you can't act alone, you must obey the overall situation, obey the command, I will personally deal with Liu Bei!"
"The last general······ Yes, sir! ”
