Chapter 303 The poisonous dust under the green dragon's knife, the nightingale's desolate sigh

The remnant sun is like blood, and dusk is approaching.

When the last river wind blew away the poisonous smoke on the path on the west side of Na'an Lu City.

Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun, Hou Yin and Nanyang Army, Liao Hua, Zhuge Ke with Jiangxia soldiers, and... The Guan family soldiers brought back by Guan Ping and the cadres brought back by Zhu Ling have returned.

When they arrived at the path on the west side of Anlu City, as far as the eye could see, they saw a charred corpse;

It was a corpse that had died in a terrible state because it had swallowed a large amount of poisonous smoke;

Nearly 20,000 people fell to the ground, no blood, but the smell of barbecue in the air was disgusting.

Looking at this number, I am afraid that the entire Runan Army of Cao Wei and the iron army under Yu Ban have all stayed here.

There was only the sound of "rustling" in the air blown by the river wind, but in this situation, such a sound was like a requiem during the harvest of the god of death in the Shura field.

Speaking of which, all the soldiers and horses came to support Anlu City, although they got the news of the victory of the fire attack, they couldn't help but worry about Guan Lin, worried that he only had 2,000 soldiers in his hands, and worried that this Anlu City, which was infinitely close to the empty city...

In case something goes wrong, this battle... It was in vain.

But at this moment...

Looking at the scene in front of them, all the soldiers stopped and were silent.

Lu Xun and Hou Yin glanced at each other again, still the same "cliché" words.

They should rejoice... They're on Guan Lin's side.

Otherwise... One day in the future, they and the Lu family army and Nanyang soldiers under their command may also die as miserably as the Runan soldiers under Yu Ban.

Or perhaps, with their own wisdom, they can avoid the fire of Guan Lin.

So... Can you escape every fire of Guan Lin?

The deterrence caused by this fire, the shock of the soul caused by it, is still too much.

It's terrifying!

Guan Ping also swallowed deeply, shocked by the fire of the fourth brother Guan Lin.

Speaking of which, on the Chibi battlefield back then, he Guan Ping was responsible for garrisoning Xiakou, and he did not witness the fire under the "ashes of the tree", which was Guan Ping's regret in his life...

As expected...

That's it, right?

The fire in Chibi may have burned longer... But the fire in Jiangxia burned more suddenly, more irritable, and more exciting.

Rather, in the end...

Guan Ping was shocked, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Ling, wanting to see at this moment... The expression of this General Zhu.

Sure enough...

The frightened pupils almost burst out, and I couldn't believe that the scene in front of me was real.

Guan Ping couldn't help but joke again, "I think, General Zhu Ling can't laugh at all now, right?" You can't go back, can you? ”

Belch...

blurted out these words, and Zhu Ling seemed to understand something.

It turns out that they know everything!

It turns out that they are all cooperating with their own performances... They all saw through this clumsy acting!

It turns out that the clown is myself!

Figured out this verse, "Hahaha... Hahaha..."Zhu Ling couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, but the laughter was complicated and pathetic...

"Didn't General Guan want me to laugh? I... I, Zhu Ling, just laughed, laughed... Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."

Zhu Ling's smile was unconscious for a long time, but his expression was more complicated, more pathetic, more sad, more hesitant, and more helpless.

It was precisely because of Guan Ping's reminder that at this moment, he realized a serious problem.

… Since this battle, he can't go back!

Can't go back!

Zhuge Ke was also full of emotion, looking at the corpse silently, Liao Hua was bold, and he had already called on the soldiers to collect the spoils, so many people, how much loot... I hope it wasn't burned by a fire!

Liao Hua also turned over and dismounted, intending to enter this Shura field.

"Don't go..."Zhuge Ke hurriedly reminded, "Yunqi Gongzi mentioned to Mr. Jiang Gan before that the smoke inspired by this fire is extremely toxic, even if you inhale it... It will have an adverse effect on the body, and now that the poisonous smoke has been blown away by the river wind, for the sake of conservatism, it is better to clean up the battlefield one day! ”

Zhuge Ke's words successfully persuaded Liao Hua, Liao Hua paused, nodded his head, and said heavily:

"You're right!"

He immediately ordered, "Pass on my military order, no one is allowed to approach these corpses, and immediately return to Anlu City... Award people according to their contributions! ”

"Whew-"

With the voice of the herald, Liao Hua's military order was instantly transmitted to the entire army.

"Let's go..."Lu Xun also heard the words of Liao Hua's herald, and immediately sighed with emotion.

When Hou Yin heard these two words, he looked up and looked to the west, as a county guard, he actually showed a rare restraint, "I'm not afraid of jokes, I have more than 20 letters with Yunqi Gongzi, and I have been friends for a long time, but I have never met..."

Hearing this, "Haha..." Lu Xun smiled, he sighed: "Who is not the first time?" It's also the first time I've met this Guan Si Gongzi, in fact, there are many people around me, and they are also eager to see this Guan Si Gong once! ”

Oh, yes...

Lu Xun's words refer to Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao.

Compared to today's Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun.

Undoubtedly, their "Hong Yan" needs the strong support of this magical Guan Sigongzi.

"Put away your weapons and enter the city—"

With Lu Xun's voice, the Lu family army and the Nanyang army also quickly put away their soldiers, and in an instant, the army drove towards Anlu City.

Because it's a big victory...

The soldiers talked all the way, and the voices came and went.

"I don't know where is the head of Cao Wei's five sons, where is his body?"

"Haha, such a fire, it came so suddenly, most of it was scorched! The pitch-black face? Who can tell where the ban is? ”

"If he is scorched, then whose credit is this great achievement?"

"It's not simple, who set the fire counts whom? Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, it can't be counted on our heads! ”

This sentence reached the ears of Jiang Gan in the cave on the low slope...

At this moment, Jiang Gan seemed to have a good sleep.

Yes, the people who commanded the smelting workshop spared no effort to move the clay pots, smash them, burn them, and finally hide in this stone cave.

The hole is closed... It was pitch black, everyone was waiting, and a huge sense of exhaustion swept over the whole body, and gradually, they all fell asleep...

I'm so tired!

During this time... Creating 5,000 "Burning Tanks", the entire refining workshop is in the limit, coupled with the huge dangerous attributes of this "Burning Tank" itself, this is not a joke, it is really tiring!

The body is tired, and the heart is even more tired!

Not to mention others, he Jiang is a literati, and he has lost weight in the past half a month, losing at least ten pounds...

"Ahem—"

With a light cough, the sound outside finally woke Jiang Gan up, and he took away the "blood not wet" that covered his mouth to prevent the poisonous gas from being inhaled...

Then, through the faint torches in the cave, look around...

These smelting workshop brothers who followed him are now sleeping soundly, but they rarely put "blood is not wet" on their mouths, and most of them use this thing as a pillow and lie down on the spot to sleep!

Jiang Gan couldn't help but groan softly in his heart.

- "Let those mothers-in-law know that you can't talk about you, it's a waste!"

Then, he opened his voice, "Wake up, brothers, cheer up, it's time for us to go back and reward our deeds—"

Belch...

A big man was awakened from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and still wondering, why should he be rewarded for meritorious deeds?

Oh, yes...

The self-fired canisters were thrown down, and when the self-fire was ignited, they all hid in.

I don't know what's going on out there?

Actually, Jiang Gan didn't know either, but he couldn't stand it, the discussions of people outside came and went, and he really listened to it.

Immediately, he added loudly, "We have 1,000 people, and we have destroyed 20,000 soldiers in the ban. Are there any of you who are not married, I will go to ask for a daughter-in-law for our Taishou for you. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Gan laughed.

Speaking of daughters-in-law, these rugged men are not sleepy...

They quickly pushed open the door of the cave, and at dusk, the only remaining afterglow shone into the cave.

When these people stood on the low slope again, looking at the blackened and charred soldiers of the Cao Army in the middle of the path, they suddenly realized something.

They suddenly understood why Jiang Gong... will say the words of the square.

This fire is burning!

The credit for this time, I'm afraid it's going to be - against God!

Including Jiang Gan, even if he was mentally prepared, but this time when he saw the general appearance of the Shura field under this hillside, the tens of thousands of fallen Cao army soldiers.

He couldn't help but sigh.

- "What a fire! ”

And with this emotion, Jiang Gan's eyes couldn't help but narrow deeply.

In fact, his heart was crying out.

- "This time, I, Jiang Gan, finally stood up!"

At this moment, he held his head high, this posture was like the moment of Dick Si's counterattack, that look, that action... Jiang Gan felt that the most glorious moment in his life was now!

On the battlefield of Xiangfan, in the desolate cry of the nightingale, a new round of dark night was ushered in.

Under the dark sky, the eagle strikes the sky.

Guan Yu led two thousand Guan family horsemen to appear around Xu Huang's military village, everyone was titled, and the horses were all reined...

At this moment, every knight dismounted, making the final preparations.

In fact, since Guan Yu's cavalry rushed out of the barracks, Xu Huang's scouts reported it as soon as possible.

But just like the White Horse and Yanjin battlefields before the Battle of Guandu in the past, the scouts were running, Guan Yu's cavalry was also running, and the scouts had not yet arrived at Xu Huang's military camp, Guan Yu's horsemen were the first.

"Second general, this is Xu Huang's military camp, surrounded by ten antlers... It seems to be heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling at all times. ”

Wang Fu reported first.

"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu was as calm as ever, he pointed to the ten-fold antlers, "Our target is not the enemy camp, but the ten-fold antlers on the periphery!" ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife was raised, "I will lead the troops to attract Xu Huang's attention, and you will all smash the clay pot into the antlers, and the enemy will be killed, no need to fight, immediately evacuate..."

"Whew-"

With Wang Fu's voice, the herald quickly spread Guan Yu's orders to the three armies, and the Guan family army had a strong execution, and the two thousand cavalry turned over and got on their horses, looking coldly at the Xu Huang military camp a mile away.

"Kill—"

Guan Yu also turned over on his horse, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, riding a red rabbit horse and riding a dustless horse, as if turning into a wisp of red glow in the dark night, and took the lead in killing Xu Huangjun.

"Da Da Da-"

"Click-"

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly resounded on the earth.

The moon is in the sky...

One by one, the clay pots had been removed from the backs of the knights, who were pulling the ropes of their horses in one hand and lifting the pots in the other... They were smashed on top of the rows of "antlers" in an orderly manner.

The earth suddenly began to shake, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and seeing a sharp spear plated with silver light by the moonlight, Guan Yu led a small number of cavalry soldiers to point directly at the camp, and quickly rushed forward.

"Enemy attack..."

"Enemy attack..."

"Enemy attack—"

Suddenly, Xu Huangjun sounded the horn.

It was only a moment for the war horse to gallop in a mile, Guan Yu had already arrived in front of the enemy's camp, under the battle helmet, his eyes were extremely bright, looking at the row of rejecting horses at the gate, the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand was directly struck, and the wooden rejecting horses weighing dozens of catties were directly knocked aside under the terrifying force.

Then...

Guan Yu led five hundred soldiers directly into the enemy formation...

However, he just made a circle at the entrance of the enemy camp, and five hundred horsemen behind him threw the clay pots in his hands one after another...

Then Guan Yu took these horsemen and rode away.

At the same time, the other 1,500 horsemen had already smashed their clay pots on the "antlers" around the barracks...

That white powder with fish oil in eggs... Immediately sprinkled around the enemy camp.

At this moment, Xu Huang's scouts rushed to the Chinese army's big tent.

"Newspaper... General, Guan Yu is leading the cavalry to attack at night..."

"Night raid?" Without waiting for Xu Huang to repeat, he stood up in shock.

"Enemy attack—"

"Enemy attack—"

Suddenly such a voice came... Xu Huang quickly took the tomahawk handed by the guard, and he quickly walked out of the camp. Throughout the barracks, the soldiers in the tents were running out quickly.

Although Xu Huang's army is not as strict as Yu Ban's, but... Because of the strict military discipline, the reaction speed and adaptability of the soldiers are still above the basic level.

In the face of night attacks, don't panic... Leaving the camp in an orderly manner, lifting weapons and lining up for defense...

Then quickly block the entrance and exit, so that the enemy army has no return!

In the past, Guan Yu had not come to sneak attack, but as long as the opponent was Xu Huang.

Night raids, sneak attacks, surprise raids... In these, Guan Yu has not taken advantage of it!

Xu Huang and his soldiers are also familiar with the road.

"Come with me..."

The word "war" has not yet been blurted out...

Xu Huang turned over and got on his horse, and suddenly heard a "boom", as if something had suddenly exploded, followed by a fire.

It was a fire at the main gate of the barracks, and after the "incendiary canisters" were thrown out one after another, Guan Yu's horsemen quickly withdrew from Xu Huang's barracks, because the deterrence of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was too great, and Xu Huang's soldiers were only stationed in the camp, and no one dared to intercept Guan Yu who withdrew.

And after Guan Yu withdrew...

A round of fire arrows that had been ready for a long time cut a beautiful arc through the air, and then... One after another, they shot into Xu Huang's camp.

And then...

The high temperature reacts with the white powder in the air, and the flame ignites...

Exploded in an instant...

The fish oil all over the ground quickly ignited the flames throughout the barracks, and the fire spread from the gate to the inside, from the antlers on the outside to the inside.

Cao Jun, who was originally holding on, looked at the fire and was at a loss, and before they could react, the flames that rushed to the sky around them had already covered them completely.

The flames and oil that sputtered out were like maggots on tarsal bones, splashing everywhere.

The burning oil was on the tent, and the tent immediately burned and smeared with the hay, and the haystacks used to feed the horses burst into flames.

Splashed on the bodies of Cao Jun's soldiers, they subconsciously wanted to fight, but the fire oil could not be extinguished at all, it was still burning, and the clothes and armor on their bodies also emitted smoke.

The fire began to engulf people, and the burned people, like crazy, let out the miserable sound of night owls, ran all the way, or crashed aimlessly into tents.

They rushed to the railing, but they found... The railing is also burning, and the antlers outside the railing are spreading the fire into the barracks...

Eventually, a large number of tents were quickly burned, reduced to skeletons, and then gradually reduced to ashes.

Those who were still in the tents escaped like crazy, but there were also people who didn't have time to escape at all, so they were buried in the fire...

The river wind blows, the fire borrows the power of the wind, and the wind helps the fire...

Originally, it was just on the periphery, at the entrance of the gate-yaki.

But it soon burned to the Chinese army... Burned to the rear army.

The most terrible... It was the smoke that erupted from the fire, this suffocating smoke, so that many people who were still sleeping in the rear army had no time to react, they had already fainted, and then... Slept silently and never woke up again.

"Avoid the direction of this smoke..."Guan Yu ordered...

These knights, who did not carry long-handled weapons in their hands, were relaxed after throwing away the "incendiary canister" ... One by one, they rode on horses and held repeaters...

Quickly move to the side that avoids the smoke.

This is what Guan Lin specially instructed his father Guan Yu - "The smoke is poisonous, even if you can't hit the enemy, you must avoid the smoke!" Avoid casualties!'

Finally, at the rear barracks of the enemy camp, Guan Yu found a place where he could perfectly avoid smoke and dust...

Guan Yu gave another order.

"If any thief escapes, shoot him with a crossbow—"

In this compartment, the cavalry of the two thousand Guan family army is ready to go, but Xu Huang's military camp has already exploded...

Night raids, it doesn't seem deadly!

Xu Huang has countless ways to deal with it calmly, but he can attack... Or the fire that suddenly burned in all directions, the fire that could not be extinguished at all, the fire that spread rapidly, this fire and the fire that Xu Huang originally knew, there was a huge difference.

It's not like he hasn't been attacked by fire ...

But fire is afraid of water, and for this reason, there are water tanks everywhere in the camp, just to prevent fire attacks.

But why? This damn "demon fire" can't even be extinguished by water?

The increasingly raging fire quickly engulfed all the tents of the former military camp and had spread to the position of the Chinese army.

Now...

Xu Huang was a little panicked.

And the whole army began to explode, in the dark, the tents of the Chinese army were set on fire everywhere, and one by one the burning men ran madly from the front army, shouting for their lives.

In the stable, the horses were frightened, rushed out of the railing like crazy, and then galloped wildly.

These uncontrolled war horses were originally the key to killing the enemy on the battlefield, but now, they have become the source of turmoil in the entire camp...

The horses galloped wildly, rushing into tents one after another, no matter who was in front of them? They didn't hesitate to knock it off... Then under the horse's hooves, trampled over, flesh and bones shattered!

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire..."

Even at this moment, Xu Huang was still directing the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and he didn't dare to give up this camp easily.

If you give up, it will undoubtedly be announced that this time the southern expedition to Jiangling, this time the so-called containment - a failure!

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

Gradually, the whole barracks, suddenly came out of a violent, resounding coughing sound, especially those firefighting soldiers, some of them had not had time to splash the water, but their heads were spinning for a while, and then there was a sense of suffocation, they were desperately pinching their necks, as if they wanted to vomit something, but soon... Their cheeks turned purple and they fell forever into the smoke.

"Newspaper... General Xu, that smoke... Seems poisonous! Ahem..."

This...

Xu Huang stared deeply at the flames that were still sweeping, the poisonous smoke in the sky, and he said fiercely.

"Yun Chang, Yun Chang, such an offensive, this is not like you!"

Oh, yes...

The Guan Yunchang he knows is still the Guan Yunchang who reads "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" at night under the candle moon, but now Guan Yunchang, people don't read "Zuo Biography" anymore, and people read "The Art of War" instead!

The biggest difference between "Zuo Chuan" and "The Art of War" is that the former teaches you how to become a righteous hero, and how to defeat the enemy on the battlefield and under the righteousness!

And the core of the latter is not to win, but to lie in the word "all".

In the more than 6,000-word "Art of War", the word "complete" alone appears more than 100 times!

The so-called "whole" is "preservation"!

"The Art of War" teaches you how to exchange the most "small price" for "the biggest victory, the overall victory"!

Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, this kind of thing, the heroes in "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" can do it, but "Sun Wu" definitely can't do it!

Today's Guan Yu can't do it.

Hehe...

Guan Yu is indeed not like himself anymore!

Guan Yu knows better how to protect himself and how to protect the soldiers of the three armies!

The so-called - the army is not immediately profitable!
