Chapter Ninety-Seven: Li Ru's Vicious Scheme
When the soldiers heard this, they threw away what was in their mouths, and the leading men immediately sprinkled oil under their feet and made three fires.
Huang Zhong urged everyone to untie the fire oil arrows here, and the three fires over there were ready.
"Ignite the rocket! Put! ”
These 200 or so archers who had been following Huang Zhong were all veterans, and they executed Huang Zhong's orders extremely quickly.
The rockets mixed with dazzling flames sped towards the large camp in the south, and the red rain of arrows in the sky alerted the camp at the first moment.
"Enemy attack!"
With the roar of the general on duty, the soldiers in the camp immediately reacted.
However, the arrow speed of the longbow squad was not slowed down by roaring, and by the time the camp reacted, the southern battalion was already covered with hundreds of rockets, and the entire camp tent was quickly set on fire.
Li Ru heard shouts outside in his tent, put on his shoes and ran out, and suddenly saw a fire in the south, and couldn't help but shrink.
"It's broken!"
The first wave of arrow rain was solidly sprinkled on the camp tent, Duan Ying had already begun to organize soldiers at this time, and the shield soldiers raised a round shield to protect the camp tent, and the whole camp began to have some turmoil.
The night in Liangzhou was extremely windy, and in a short time, the entire camp was lit red by the fire of the camp.
"Get water from the river!"
Li Ru kept shouting, his voice drowned out by the neighing of horses and the howls of several soldiers affected by the flames.
A few soldiers who reacted quickly lifted the container and ran towards the stream next to it, and water continued to extinguish the flames.
Duan Ying set up a defensive position on the spot, but he never saw the second wave of rockets coming, and immediately rode his black horse and led the patrolling cavalry towards the direction of archery.
At this time, Huang Zhong's team saw that the camp tent in the south was on fire, smiled slightly, and led the longbow team to retreat in the direction of Wuwei County in the night.
Duan Ying came to the place where Fang Cai Huang Zhong was, only to see bursts of green smoke from the three extinguished fires left on the ground.
Duan Ying was on horseback, his eyes like an owl staring straight in the direction Huang Zhong had left.
After a long time, Duan Ying spoke.
"Go back to camp first!"
At that moment, he originally wanted to pursue very much, the instructor of the archer was far inferior to the cavalry, and if he forcibly chased it, he would definitely be able to catch up.
"Heaven Descends"
However, the terrain on its side is not familiar, and it is a question of whether there are other ambushes behind under the night, so he can only temporarily fight his horse and return to the camp to suffer this loss.
Dong Zhuo was already alarmed here, and hurriedly summoned Li Ru to come over to report the situation.
Li Ru briefly reported the situation to Dong Zhuo, he and Duan Ying had already set up three secret camps, but they were still accurately found by the other party.
Fortunately, the loss is only 30%, which is acceptable.
In addition to the dark camp, Li Ru also played a cunning rabbit three holes, only one of the hidden camps is real, and this real one only has three percent of the total grain and grass.
If the grain and grass are not prepared tonight, the army will have to fight on an empty stomach tomorrow.
"Father-in-law, Wu Wei's move must be to cut our army's food and grass to provoke our army to march recklessly."
"The son-in-law has a plan, he will let that Wuwei County taste the evil consequences of this night attack!"
Li Ru's face was a little unbearable, he was a strategist under Dong Zhuo, and it was a dereliction of duty for him not to anticipate the enemy first.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo would not blame him, and only left him with full authority to deal with the aftermath, and then drove the lords in the tent away and the two exotic girls who accompanied him fell asleep.
Li Ru's strategy was approved by Dong Zhuo, and a treacherous light flashed in his eyes and looked in the direction of Wuwei County.
Jiang Changan, Han Xin and Xue Rengui were leaning on the city tower and chatting about something, and at this time, Huang Zhong and his party had returned to the city.
"Huang Han ascended and returned, open the city gate quickly."
Jiang Changan heard the shouts of the city, and as soon as he turned around and saw the return of the archers, he immediately opened the city gate.
Huang Zhong immediately went up to the city tower, looked at Jiang Changan with resolute eyes and said.
"Lord, it's done!"
Then Huang Zhong told several people in detail about his whereabouts along the way, as well as the real and fake grain camps in the camp.
It turned out that Huang Zhong had just seen that there were three grain camps, and it was expected that only one would be true, so he immediately checked the surrounding terrain and the furnishings in front of the grain camp.
Although there were a lot of people in front of the grain camps on the east and west sides, they were all talking and laughing or sitting on the ground absentmindedly depending on the state of each soldier.
On the other hand, there were only four or five people guarding the south side, and a few people stood upright and vigilant in front of the grain camp without the slightest slackness.
Moreover, Huang Zhong found that the grain camp in the east was very close to the official road, and it was extremely dangerous to camp here, while the soil near the river in the west was wet, and it was most likely only to the south.
In the end, he made up his mind to fire at the grain camp in the south, and seeing Duan Ying's reflection of raising his shield, Huang Zhong left the camp satisfied, most likely successfully.
It's just that how much grain and grass can be destroyed, Huang Zhong can't be sure.
After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Jiang Changan nodded with a smile, and then said.
"This time, Dong Zhuo's grain and grass have been damaged, and tomorrow the troops will definitely come to the city to force our army to fight a quick battle, but Boren is in the pheasant forest, as long as Dong Zhuo is stopped for a little time, the pressure of this battle will be less after the Qiang rangers are solved."
"General Hansheng should be the first merit!"
This night, everyone slept not very peacefully, and the oppressive feeling of the imminent war was like a heavy dark cloud in the sky, weighing heavily on everyone's heads.
In the early morning of the next day, Chang Yuchun had already led a thousand elite soldiers to the pheasant forest to ambush, and Xue Rengui also led the Jingsai army to run in the direction of Chang'an Village.
All the soldiers in the city have already climbed the tower or are waiting to fill their seats at the bottom of the tower!
Everyone is ready to fight, and Dong Zhuo's side is no exception at this time.
After a night's rest, the fatigue of yesterday's rush has dissipated, and there was a small accident at night but it was harmless, but there was a little less food, as long as it was quickly resolved, it could be replenished, Dong Zhuo thought so.
He took out one of his favorite weapons today, the Ghost Head Serrated Knife!
With the fierce momentum and the chilling ghost head knife, everyone felt Dong Zhuo's determination to win this battle.
On the way to Wuwei, the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and the sound of soldiers stepping along the way broke the silence of the early morning.
Chang Yuchun and his party have been waiting in the pheasant forest for a long time, and many rocks have fallen from such a place, as long as they are smashed, there is no possibility of survival.
Chang Yuchun imagined on the cliff that tens of thousands of people below were smashed by rocks and screamed, and he felt enjoyable.
Then he looked at the well-stocked rocks behind him, and quietly waited for Dong Zhuo's army to come.
After marching for a long time, Duan Ying stood beside Dong Zhuo and waved his hand to stop the army, and then said to Dong Zhuo.
"The scouts sent last night reported back to this valley, and in a few miles they will reach Wuwei County."
"I have just come all the way, looking at the situation of this place, the mountains are stacked with obstacles, it is a good place for ambushes, the lord will wait for me to lead a soldier to explore the road first, how about the security army marching again?"
Dong Zhuo had no doubt about Duan Ying's vision, and said with his yellow teeth patted his stomach.
"Then it's hard work!"
Duan Ying lowered his head, frowned, and sowed three hundred cavalry behind him, beating his horse, and marching towards the valley.
