Chen Zhi led the dragon pattern cavalry to break into the charging Cao army.

He shouted loudly: "Childe has an order, not to enter the valley." ”

The dragon pattern cavalry followed Chen Dao and blocked Cao's army from entering the valley.

They were not many in number, and the number of Cao troops they could stop was very limited.

Just when Chen Zhi was almost in despair, Li Dian led the Cao army of his subordinates to arrive.

"Stop them!" When he arrived at the valley mouth, Li Dian also issued the same order to his soldiers as Chen Zhi.

More Cao troops rushed over, but instead of rushing into the valley, they cooperated with the dragon pattern to intercept their comrades who were rushing into the valley.

Gradually, the charge of the Cao army was stopped, and even so, the Cao army brought into the valley by Xiahoudun was still 20,000 people.

"General Chen, hard work!" Coming to Chen Dao, Li Dian arched his hand and said.

"Why didn't General Li stop General Xiahou?" Chen Zhi said with annoyance: "If he enters the valley this time, our army will definitely suffer a big loss." ”

"I also tried to stop it, but General Xiahou was willing to listen." Li Dian said: "General Chen is waiting here, and I will go into the valley to find him." ”

"General Lee, don't go in." Chen Zhi hurriedly stopped him: "You also saw it just now, I shouted that Gongzi had an order, but the soldiers didn't listen at all." If you go in, no one will be able to restrain them. ”

"But General Xiahou is already ...... inside," Li Dian said anxiously: "Can't you let him be ambushed by the enemy?" ”

"That's no way around either." Chen Zhi said: "The enemy army should have been prepared for a long time, and we will be annihilated by them as much as we enter." All we can do now is hope that General Xiahou will never have an accident. ”

Chen Zhi and Li Dian were still worried at the mouth of the valley, and Xiahoudun led the soldiers to chase them into the valley.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the Jingzhou army to just fly in front.

While chasing, Xiahoudun shouted: "Don't go if you have the courage!" ”

was ordered to lead them into the valley, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not pay attention to him, not only did they not stop, but they ran faster and faster.

was chasing after him, and Xiahoudun heard a thunderous roar from behind.

He glanced back.

Just by this look, he suddenly understood that something was wrong.

Although it was not really visible in the night, Xia Houdun could tell from the sound and the smoke and dust that countless logs or stones were rolling down the hillsides on both sides.

He was stunned as the same roar came from the hillside ahead.

"Not good!" Xiahoudun shouted: "Hurry up and retreat!" ”

The Cao army in front was ordered to stop, while the Cao army behind had not received the order and still pushed forward.

People pushed and shoved, horses collided with horses, and the canyon was suddenly chaotic.

After giving the order, Xiahoudun also turned his horse and wanted to go back, and there was a thunderous roar on the side of the hillside.

A huge log tumbling down from the hillside knocked a stone and bounced into the air and swirled towards Xiahoudun.

Before he could see what was flying, Xiahoudun swept his halberd and swept towards the log.

Swept right by the halberd, the log rolled and flew out.

But Xiahoudun was awe-inspiring in his heart.

The moment he picked up the log, he felt the slippery texture of the wood.

The wood is so slippery, it's either damp or soaked in oil.

There has been no rain lately, so it can't be wet at all.

The only thing that is solid is that the logs have been soaked in oil, and he and his men will soon become roast meat in the flames!

Knowing everything, Xiahoudun shouted: "Quick, no matter what, give me back!" ”

As soon as the shouts fell, countless fires like stars appeared on the hills on both sides.

As the firelight lit up, countless fireballs pierced the night sky and flew towards the valley......

Chen Zhi and Li Dian, who were waiting at the valley mouth, looked at the fireballs flying in the air in amazement, and their mouths couldn't close for a long time.

When the first wave of fireballs fell into the valley, Chen Zhi said: "Gongzi said that General Xiahou must not enter the valley......"

"It's too late to say that." Looking at the valley, Li Dian said: "Such a battle, I'm afraid General Xiahou ......"

Neither dared to think about what would happen next.

When the meteor-like fireball fell into the valley, the valley suddenly lit up with a sky-high fire.

The soldiers of the Cao Army, who almost rushed in, pinched a cold sweat one by one.

Many people swallowed their saliva, looking at the fire that reached into the sky, and even their palms were covered with sweat in fear.

Standing outside the valley, the soldiers of Cao Jun seemed to be able to hear the miserable howls coming from inside, but they had nothing to do before this fire, knowing that more than 20,000 companions were in the valley, but they had no way to rush in to rescue, they could only watch.

On the other side of the valley, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at the sky-high flames, and neither of them spoke.

However, from Zhuge Liang's face, a little smugness can be seen.

In the first battle since he came out of the mountain, he burned Cao's army and made great contributions to Liu Bei.

From now on, his position by Liu Bei's side will also be completely consolidated because of today's battle.

Looking at the burning valley, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the soldiers over.

Seeing Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the two of them sped up.

When they arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dismounted almost at the same time.

Before they saluted Liu Bei, they first bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"Mr. Doubt, please forgive me." Guan Yu said: "Sir, if you are really a god, Xiahou Dun's family must be more dead and less alive this time." ”

Zhang Fei also said sincerely on the side: "My second brother and I collided with Mr. before, if Mr. is unhappy, it is up to you to fight or kill." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, stepped forward and hugged the two of them and said, "The two generals don't have to be like this, it's good that they can assist the envoy with me from now on." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Guan Yu said: "If anyone dares to disobey Mr. in the future, I will not agree to the first one." ”

"With the help of two generals, I will be more handy in doing things in the future." Holding the hands of the two, Zhuge Liang also said very sincerely.

"In this battle, Xiahoudun suffered a big loss." Liu Bei asked, "Do we want our army to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

"Two generals." Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "How many soldiers and horses did Xiahoudun bring into the valley?" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and Guan Yu replied: "There are 20,000 people, to say the least." ”

"Xiahoudun led 100,000 troops, and although General Zhang robbed the camp, he killed some, but not too much." Zhuge Liang said: "They only entered the valley with more than 20,000 people, and after this battle, the enemy still has 70,000 or 80,000 troops to fight, and we still have no chance of winning." ”

"What should our army do?" Liu Bei asked.

"The purpose has been achieved, withdraw." Zhuge Liang said: "I may meet Pang Shiyuan on the road, and I am planning to meet him." ”

"Just withdraw?" Zhang Fei asked a little unwillingly.

"Even if we stay here, the enemy won't give them a second chance to burn them again." Zhuge Liang said: "There is no need to stay here. ”
