Chapter Seventy-Two: Fire Attack
In the middle of the first year of Chuping, Guo Yan went out of Gucheng and led 4,000 elite horsemen and 30,000 foot soldiers to the camp to transfer the people to kill. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, Guo Yan always felt a little frightened, this was the first time since he joined the army except for the first time on the battlefield, is it less auspicious than going to the murder.
But Guo Yan can't take care of these anymore, you let him flee back to Chang'an without a fight, how can you have the face to stay by Dong Zhuo's side? Besides, Dong Min, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen were all defeated by Lu Chengjun, and it is not a shame for him to be defeated.
The 30,000 young men brought by Guo Yan still dragged Guo Yan back, and the thin young men couldn't go fast at all, and there were also people who died of exhaustion along the way, although each person ate a bowl of gruel before departure, but they used to rely on thin soup almost every day.
Wu Xi led the supervision team to supervise the team but still had no effect, Guo Yan said: "Brothers, work harder, in front of it is Liu Bei's camp to transfer the people, there is countless food in it, and there are women, after arriving, the captain of the school promises not to seal the knife for three days."
Filling one's stomach in the face of life and death is the most important thing, you talk about etiquette, consequences, family or something, haven't you heard of Yi Zi and eat? They have begun to eat people, and they still care about other people's families, survival is the most important thing, it's not that they don't want to escape, it's just that their families have entered Hanguguan, their defected families will definitely be slaughtered, and the Xiliang army is too brutal.
Guo Yan's words to raise morale shocked the morale of 30,000 young people, who wants to eat people if there is food, of course, most of them think about women, how long have you not seen your wife?
"Kill, kill! Kill! ”
Guo Yan commanded 30,000 young men to kill the camp that transferred the people with slow steps.
Since Liu Bei and the others already knew that Guo Yan's goal was to transfer the people's camp, Xun Yu rushed back to the camp overnight, distributed weapons to the young Zhuang who had been organized before, and sent additional scouts.
Liu Bei's Lu Cheng army was even more scouted, and he led the army to ambush on the side of the camp.
The formation pulled out by the transfer of millions of people can be imagined, there are dozens or hundreds of camps alone, Liu Bei doesn't know which one Guo Bian's target is, only next to the last one, waiting for the news of Guo Bian's army.
Guo Yan's 30,000 young men dragged back, which also gave Liu Bei's army a chance to prepare in advance.
The 30,000 young men were not strong enough in physical strength, so Guo Yan chose the camp closest to Gucheng, and Xun Yu also guessed, so he ambushed a lot of young men with armor in several nearby camps.
"Kill!"
Guo Yan's 30,000 young men saw the camp in sight, and rushed over in chaos without waiting for Guo Yan's order.
Wu Xi said coldly: "It's a group of rabble."
Guo Yan said: "Don't underestimate this rabble, in order to survive, tens of thousands of young people who were powerless in the Yellow Turban Army also defeated the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and these 30,000 young men were enough to make Liu Bei suffer a big loss."
The arrows in the camp fell into the rain, and 30,000 young men rushed forward without fear of death, and if they did not rush in, they would starve to death on a road, and it was better to die on the way to charge.
The mental state of 30,000 young men who are not afraid of death frightened the young men in the camp, even if there were veterans whipping them, their targets dropped a lot, but fortunately, they did not need their targets, as long as the arrows shot past, they could cause damage.
As the saying goes, a man is desperate and invincible, and ten thousand people are desperate to open the mountains and rocks, not to mention this wooden camp with antlers and horses?
30,000 young men finally killed in the camp after dropping more than 1,000 corpses, and the young men in the camp retreated one after another, even if there was a team of warlords to suppress the formation, it would not help.
As soon as the young men retreated, they were completely defeated by the 30,000 young men, and the people behind them were exposed, of course, they were all old people who didn't know much about it.
The murderous nature of 30,000 young people broke out in an instant, killing people when they saw them, killing the entire camp but not finding the women they urgently needed, there was only a little bit of food, many people grabbed the uncooked food and ate it, and more people fought each other because of the food, and the large-scale fighting made tens of thousands of young people unable to distinguish between the enemy and me, in short, they slashed and killed each other.
Originally, Guo Yan was overjoyed when he saw this, and said to Wu Xi: "What? The rabble is also a sharp blade if used well. ”
"The captain is smart."
Wu Xi patted his ass.
Guo Yan disagreed, but he was also proud of his use of troops in his heart.
Guo Yan didn't know that he had become Liu Bei's prey, not far away Liu Bei also cheered for Guo Yan, thinking that he couldn't get close to the young man in the camp and easily killed it.
"Lord, set it on fire!"
Wen hired to demonstrate.
"Our people are out."
Liu Bei asked, since it was a fire attack, it must be a state of indistinguishable between friend and foe, and once it was implemented, everyone in the camp would have to be burned alive.
Wen Ping lamented: "Only less than a third of them ran out, and the rest of the people were entangled, and now there is chaos in the camp, and there seems to be a camp roar."
"Why so little?"
Liu Bei was startled, and then heard Ying Xiao, Liu Bei was even more shocked in his heart, originally he was still puzzled why Jia Xu asked him to put a little food in, everyone was full, and Guo Yan would definitely be able to solve it today, it seems that this is one of the reasons why Ying Xiao happened.
Jia Xu didn't know the turbulent waves in Liu Bei's heart, and said: "If the opportunity cannot be lost, now is the right time to set fire."
"Okay."
Liu Bei said yes, but his gaze at Jia Xu was so shocking, Jia Xu's fluttering arrangement, one effortlessly wiped out Guo Yan's 30,000 hungry and crazy young men, the second discarded the old people who dragged millions of people in the rear army, and the third also let these surviving young men see what battlefield.
Liu Bei ordered, Zhao Yun suddenly led the archers to appear, the archers were all surrounded by special arrows, and everyone ignited the arrows and shot them into the camp before the arrows were fired, and at the same time threw the fire oil and vegetable oil on their horses into the camp.
There was already firewood and grass accumulated by Jia Xu in the camp, and the firewood and grass immediately burned when they encountered fire oil and rockets, and many young people who were still fighting instantly burned together with each other, and some young people even hugged the enemy and led the fire on their bodies to the other party.
The entire camp was set on fire almost instantly.
"This, this can't be."
Guo Yan looked at the sea of fire in disbelief, he had worked hard to capture a big camp, how could he just fall into Liu Bei's trap?
In fact, he didn't know that Jia Xu had every camp pile up firewood and grass, and in his heart, every camp was discardable.
The young men in the camp rushed out of the fire, but they were quickly shot by the rangers outside the camp, and Guo Yan shouted loudly in his eyes: "Kill these rangers for so-and-so, and the Lu Cheng army must be near here."
Guo Yan's 30,000 young men disappeared, completely messing up Guo Yan's plan, his intention to fight a decisive battle with Lu Chengjun has been lost, and now he is thinking more about breaking out, since he has fallen into Liu Bei's trap, he can't easily retreat, and once he retreats, he is in Liu Bei's trap.
Wu Xi immediately led the headquarters to rush out and strangle the rangers.
Zhao Yun's archers were originally trained in ranger tactics, and when Wu Xi killed most of them, they fled and joined most of them.
