The northwest wind howled, fueling the fire and rolling up billowing smoke.

The officers and soldiers looked at the chaotic Yellow Turban barracks, and they were all very excited. This time, the Yellow Turban Army is really powerless.

They were chased by the officers and soldiers for a day, and they were already sleepy and tired, and they lost tents, bedding, and other things.

In order to keep warm in the cold winter, they had to set up camp in a wooded area to shelter them from the cold wind.

In addition, the Yellow Turban Army slept in the grass, and the officers and soldiers used the fire attack strategy to get twice the result with half the effort.

A member of the general looked at the chaotic Yellow Turban military camp, came to Huangfu Song, and said loudly: "General, if I don't take this opportunity to enter the Yellow Turban military camp, how long will I wait?" ”

Huangfu Song looked at the Yellow Turban military camp shrouded in fire and smoke, shook his head, and said, "The time has not yet come. ”

"Now the camp of the thieves is still shrouded in fire, and if we kill it now, I am afraid that we will also be burned by the fire. When the fire stops for a while and the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, we will chase and kill again. ”

"In this way, the Yellow Turban Army can be decided in one battle."

When everyone heard this, they all bowed down. They restrained their eager soldiers and were ready to rush into the Yellow Turban barracks.

In the camp, looking at the billowing smoke and fire, Chen Xu actually showed a smile on his face.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Huangfu Song is a famous general in the world, and ordinary strategies are not effective against him at all.

However, when Chen Xu used the lives of the three thousand Yellow Turban Army as bait, he didn't believe that Huangfu Song could still be fooled.

Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, you are panicking, the fire looks very big, but as long as you dodge it with your heart, you can't burn us." ”

"Now, take out the wet cloth you have prepared in advance, cover yourself and your horses' mouths and noses, and follow me to the east."

The Yellow Turban Army, who was still in some commotion, heard the shouts of their own commanders, and then quieted down.

One by one, they had difficulty breathing in the smoke, but fortunately they had been trained to try to cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth in the smoke.

Now, although it is still a little difficult for everyone to breathe, they are much better.

Chen Xu's expectation was good, in the ancient fire attack strategy, there were not many people who were really burned to death by the fire. A small number of people fainted from the smoke, and some died from the panicked trampling of the soldiers.

Many more were killed by the enemy.

For this moment, Chen Xu once set fire to the camp every day to exercise the Yellow Turban Army's ability to respond to fire.

The soldiers had already been reminded by the commander of the canal and knew that the officers and soldiers would come to attack.

In addition, everyone had rehearsed in advance and knew how to protect themselves in this situation, so everyone calmed down when they heard Qu Shuai's shout.

"Boom!"

The Yellow Turbans mounted their horses and fled eastward. And the fire and smoke behind them followed them closely.

"General, the thieves have fled to the east."

"What?"

Huangfu Song was shocked when he heard this.

According to common sense, as long as the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army still have some brains, when they face a fire attack, they will flee in the direction of the wind.

In this way, as long as they pass through the area where the fire started, the fire and smoke will no longer affect everyone.

On the other hand, if you flee with the wind, the fire and smoke will always follow. When people are exhausted, when they slack off, they will be swept away by the fire again.

"I thought Chen Xu was a general, but I didn't expect that I didn't even understand these most basic things, it seems that I thought highly of him in the past."

He thought that the Yellow Turbans might flee in several other directions, but he didn't expect them to flee east.

Huangfu Song first muttered to himself, and then shouted loudly: "The order is to let all the soldiers who are ambushed in the west, north, and south directions come back, and we will gather all our forces, follow the fire, and hunt down the Yellow Turban Thief." ”

At this moment, Huangfu Song finally let go of his only vigilance.

How can a general who doesn't even understand the most basic common sense get his attention?

"It seems that I was really too cautious before." Huangfu Song thought secretly in his heart.

In this way, the fire took advantage of the wind and frantically rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army.

Fortunately, the northwest wind is blowing now, and Chen Xu and the others rushed to the east, although they were affected by the fire. But more fire and smoke were raging in the southeast direction.

In order to survive, the Yellow Turbans desperately fled to the east. During the day, they were chased and killed by officers and soldiers for a day, and everyone was already exhausted.

Coupled with the thick smoke and flames behind him, the Yellow Turban Army was so smoked that it was difficult to breathe.

If it weren't for Chen Xu, who had already expected this outcome and told everyone in advance, the Yellow Turban Army would probably have collapsed by now.

The reason why they are still gritting their teeth and insisting on following behind Chen Xu is out of trust in their own Qu Shuai.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Even if he covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, Tian Feng still felt a little difficult to breathe.

He looked at Chen Xu, still insisting on fleeing to the east with the Yellow Turban Army, and couldn't help but scold: "Chen Wenzhao, you are playing with fire!" If you are not careful, all the Yellow Turban Army will die here because of your wrong decision! ”

"Playing with fire?" Chen Xu muttered in his heart, "Yes, I am indeed playing with fire." ”

Chen Xu raised his blackened head, looked at the sky, and muttered, "Soon, soon." ”

He coughed twice, plucked up the courage and shouted: "Brothers, hold on for a while, and kill the old thief of Huangfu today!" We must avenge the general of the people and the generals of the earth! ”

Hearing this, the Yellow Turban Army, which was already a little disheartened, suddenly shook their spirits, gritted their teeth and fled behind Chen Xu.

The originally dark night was illuminated by the firelight of half of Zhending County. Due to the strong northwest wind and the withering of vegetation in winter, many villages were affected by the fire.

For a while, the originally quiet night suddenly became extremely noisy.

The fire rose into the sky, and people in several nearby counties could see the skyrocketing fire.

For a while, neither the county officials, nor the team led by Chu Yan, nor the bandits on the small hill could sleep again.

"As soon as tonight passes, there should be a winner between the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army, right?" People looked at the direction of the fire and thought secretly in their hearts.

One of the generals of the officers and soldiers wiped the black ash on his face and scolded loudly: "I don't want the thieves to be so tenacious, and they haven't been defeated until now!" ”

Although they chased after the fire, the sporadic small fires on the ground still made their horses extremely uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army, they are free from the encirclement of everyone, and their war horses always run in front of the fire, only to face the billowing smoke.

"Qu Shuai, there is a big river in front of me, I can't wait!"

Suddenly, another cavalryman who had fled in front turned his horse's head, came to Chen Xu, and shouted loudly.

When everyone heard that the river was blocking the way, they were all shocked.

There is a river blocking the road in front, a fire in the back, and officers and soldiers pursuing, could it be that the Yellow Turban Army is going to be destroyed in the sky?

But he didn't want to, Chen Xu looked at the sky, observed the small flag tied to his left hand, and his face was happy.

He shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, turn the heads of their horses, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

When the Yellow Turban Army heard Chen Xu's order, they were even more agitated. The fire is getting closer and closer to everyone, and at this time, the formation to meet the enemy, will not be engulfed in the fire?

"Does he want to fight against the odds?" Tian Feng looked at the big river in front of him and thought secretly in his heart.

"Confused, now that this situation is a battle against the water, there is absolutely no life or death!"

Chen Xu also felt the commotion of the soldiers, he was angry and shouted: "Brothers, believe me once, turn the horse's head and prepare to charge!" ”

When the soldiers heard Qu Shuai's shout, they gritted their teeth and obeyed his military order. Now, the Yellow Turban Army has no way out, they can only trust their own commander.

"Whew!"

The northwest wind was howling, and the fire was getting closer and closer to the Yellow Turbans. In the face of the oncoming smoke, many members of the Yellow Turban Army were smoked to tears.

Although everyone turned their horses' heads and began to line up, they all showed a look of fear on their faces as they looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly to the sky: "The yellow sky is above, today I, Chen Xu, led the Yellow Turban Army under my tent to this place, there is a big river blocking the road in front, and there is a fire and officers and soldiers chasing after it." ”

"If the Yellow Sky still favors my Yellow Turban Army, please blow the east wind and let the fire go west."

As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, everyone felt a little incredible. You know, it's winter, how can the east wind blow?

However, soon someone remembered Qu Shuai's deeds of summoning the giant thunder in Dong'e, and a look of hope suddenly appeared on his face.

They whispered Qu Shuai's deeds to the others, and when everyone heard this, they looked at Chen Xu's eyes, and suddenly became different.

"Perhaps, Qu Shuai can really summon the east wind!"

In a desperate situation, the Yellow Turban soldiers seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and they put all their hopes here.

Chen Xu continued to wave the spear in his hand and shouted loudly at the sky: "Wind, east wind!" ”

The Yellow Turban soldiers who ignited hope, they also followed Chen Xu's example, brandished their weapons, and shouted loudly: "Wind, east wind!" ”

"Wind, east wind!"

The shouts resounded throughout the land, and the officers and soldiers who were pursuing behind were all incredulous when they saw the Yellow Turban Army forming a phalanx from a distance, facing the approaching fire.

The fire was getting closer and closer, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was still full of confidence just now, began to stir again, and they all looked at Chen Xu suspiciously.

Chen Xu's heart is also extremely nervous, life or death, success and failure, all at this moment.

He was angry and roared loudly in a hoarse voice: "The yellow sky is above, if you give me the east wind." In the future, our Yellow Turban Army will achieve something, and we will definitely treat the people of the world well! ”

Chen Xu's voice echoed in the night sky like muffled thunder. Not only the Yellow Turban Army, but even those officers and soldiers who were pursuing after the fire heard this voice.

"Whew! Call! ”

The fire, which was approaching the Yellow Turbans, suddenly stopped.

Everyone was in astonishment, only to see the east wind rising, getting stronger and stronger, and in an instant the officers and soldiers rushed to the west with a fire.

"Dongfeng, it's really Dongfeng!"

In an instant, the Yellow Turban soldiers wept with joy. In their opinion, Huang Tian still hasn't abandoned them, and Huang Tian still favors his own Qu Shuai!

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"

For a time, this long-lost slogan resounded all over the earth again!
