Sitting in the tent, Yuan Shao's brows were tightly locked, and after a long time, he said to everyone in the tent: "Order Han Meng, lead three thousand troops to help Wuchao!" ”

"Yuan Gong!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Feng Ji stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said: "The Wuchao garrison is only 3,000, and Han Meng will lead another 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Yuantu is too worried!" Chao Fengji waved his hand, and Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Wuchao is in the rear of Guandu, if there is any change in the Cao army, our army will definitely find out, so why do we need to transfer the army there?" ”

Yuan Shao said this, and Feng Ji couldn't say anything more, so he had to bow down with his fists and retreat to the side.

Since he was defeated in the hands of Zhang He, Han Meng was transferred to the rear to supervise grain.

Leading more than 1,000 Yuan troops and escorting a team of grain and grass, Han Meng, who was at the forefront of the team, looked forward all the way.

In front of him, there was a bare mountain.

The mountains are not very high, but they are connected to each other, and there is no end in sight.

Han Meng had already walked this road several times, and every time he traveled from here, he was extremely careful.

Along the path under the mountain, leading the team to transport grain slowly, Han Meng carried a big knife in his hand, and looked at the hills on both sides vigilantly all the way.

On the bare hills, there was silence, and there was no unusual movement at all.

In the past, when walking on this road, Han Meng would occasionally see one or two flocks of birds flying, but this time he walked on the road, but he didn't even see half a mountain bird or beast.

After walking forward for another while, Han Meng raised his arm to stop the procession.

Turning his head to look to the side, his brow gradually twisted.

"All troops on alert!" Lowering his arm, Han Meng shouted loudly: "Beware of thieves intercepting grain!" ”

Hearing Han Meng's shout, the 1,000 Yuan troops who were transporting grain with him clenched the blades in their hands tighter one after another, looking at the mountains on both sides, and their eyes were a little more vigilant.

Reminding the whole army to be on alert, Han Meng gently clamped the belly of the horse with his legs, and continued to move forward on horseback.

Han Meng led a thousand Yuan troops to escort grain and grass, and on the bare hillside, many figures hid in the mountains under the cover of stones.

Looking at the Yuan army's grain transport team that was walking slowly at the foot of the hillside, a stout man with a big axe flashed with long-awaited brilliance in his eyes.

This person was wearing the armor of a general of the Cao army, looking at the Yuan army under the hillside, and his hand holding the big axe was always tightly gripped.

On the hillside near him, countless Cao soldiers hid behind the stones, and their eyes looked at the Yuan army marching down the hillside without blinking.

The general of the Cao army carrying the big axe was none other than Xu Huang, who had not been under Cao Cao for a long time.

Since he joined Cao Cao, Xu Huang has not yet made great contributions, and this time Cao Cao ordered him to intercept Han Meng halfway, but gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions.

If you say that Xu Huang is also a fierce general, he has never made achievements under Cao Cao, and he is not very happy in his heart.

Staring at Han Meng, who was escorting the grain and grass slowly, Xu Huang did not feel the slightest nervousness, but was looking forward to the transportation team led by Han Meng entering the ambush circle soon.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Yuan Jun, the Cao army led by Xu Huang was not very numerous, only more than 500 people.

But these more than 500 people, all of them are battle-hardened veterans among the soldiers of the Cao Army, and each of them is very experienced in fighting.

The Yuan army, which was transporting grain, marched much slower than earlier, and lay dormant on the hillside, waiting for Xu Huang's order to charge.

Squatting beside Xu Huang, there was also a general of the Cao army.

This person was also wearing the clothes and armor of Cao Jun's generals, but he did not carry a long weapon, staring at Yuan Jun under the mountain, one hand tightly clutching the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and the muscles on his face were twitching slightly.

The general of the Cao army, who was squatting next to Xu Huang, was a ranger in his early years, and when Cao Cao led the army to defeat the Yellow Turban, he surrendered to Cao Cao's account.

This person's name is Shi Lian, although he is not very good at fighting on horseback, but the experience of the ranger has allowed him to practice a good swordsmanship.

"General, Yuan Jun has already entered the ambush circle!" Staring at the Yuan army led by Han Meng, Shi Jian reminded Xu Huang in a whisper.

"We were ordered to intercept and kill Yuan Jun's grain and grass, in order to attract Yuan Shao's attention to the grain road and ignore the black nest!" His eyes were still on the Yuan army team under the hillside, and Xu Huang whispered to Shi Lian: "When they enter a little more, we will wait for the release to launch an attack, and we must make sure that no one in this team of Yuan troops retreats!" ”

Xu Huang said this, Shi Jian didn't want to say anything more, and when he looked at Yuan Jun, his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty brilliance.

Leading the team carrying grain, he marched along the path down the mountain, and the deeper he went, the more Han Meng felt uneasy in his heart.

The instincts of the perennial leader told him that there was danger here.

But on the bare hills on both sides, there is not even the shadow of half a person.

Holding the hilt of the big knife tightly, Han Meng's brows furrowed, and a pair of eyes looked at the hills on both sides for a moment.

The soldiers of the Yuan Army who followed behind Han Meng also looked around nervously when they were advancing, and everyone did not dare to slack off.

"Shoot the arrows!" As he was marching, Han Meng and the soldiers of the Yuan Army who were escorting the grain and grass behind him suddenly heard a sound of snorting from the hillside.

As the sound fell, hundreds of figures stood up on the originally empty hillside.

The five hundred Cao troops who followed Xu Huang and Shi Jian here had been dormant for a long time, and finally waited for the order to attack, and one by one there would be a slight delay, all of them stood up, opened their longbows, and shot a puff of arrows at the Yuan army's grain transportation team under the mountain.

Five hundred Cao troops, all carrying longbows.

Although they are not professional archers, they are not very unfamiliar with drawing bows and archery.

Arrows flew towards the Yuan army, and many of the Yuan soldiers did not have time to react at all, and were shot to the ground by the feather arrows.

Yuan Jun, who was shot by arrows, fell down beside the grain cart one by one, and the people who were driving the grain cart were also shot dead more than a dozen people at once without defense.

After Cao Jun appeared, he did not immediately rush down the hillside, but stood on the hillside, constantly shooting arrows at the Yuan army under the mountain!

Picking up the broadsword and using the broadsword to pluck the feather arrows shot at him, Han Meng shouted loudly to the Yuan army and the people in the team while defending: "Hide behind the grain cart and defend the shield array!" ”

Han Meng gave an order, which made the Yuan army, who was stunned by the sudden appearance of Cao Jun, wake up immediately, and everyone ran behind the grain cart, set up a large shield, and defended against the arrows shot from the hillside.

"Rocket!" Xu Huang, who led the army to intercept Han Meng, saw that the soldiers of the Yuan army were hiding behind the grain cart, and yelled.

As soon as Xu Huang shouted, Cao Jun on the hillside wrapped the oilcloth that had been prepared long ago around the arrows, lit the oilcloth with a fire fold, and shot towards the Yuan army's grain cart under the mountain.

After all, grain is a thing that is easy to burn, and rockets flew down from the hillside and stuck to the grain bags on the carts, which immediately set the cartloads of grain and grass on fire.

A soldier of the Yuan army, hiding behind a grain cart, holding a shield to defend against feathered arrows fired from the front.

Suddenly, he found that the feathered arrows that Cao Jun had shot were no longer just sharp arrows, but rockets wrapped in fireballs.

Seeing the rockets flying towards him and his companions beside him, the soldiers of Yuan Jun hurriedly lowered their heads and used the shield to avoid the attack of the rockets!

The flaming arrows landed on his shield with a crackling sound.

After the first rocket, the soldier of the Yuan army just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that the whole car of grain and grass in front of him had been ignited by the flames entrained by the arrows.

The flames lit the sack, and the flames burned the sacks into holes one by one, and the food inside was licked and squeaked by the flames.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Yuan army knew that if the flames burned, not only would the food not be saved, but even they who were hiding behind the grain cart would eventually have no shelter and could only be shot by Cao Jun.

Picking up his shield, he slammed it at the burning sack, and the soldiers of Yuan wanted to extinguish the flames.

But he pounced twice, and another rocket flew towards him.

Feeling that another flaming arrow was flying, the soldier of Yuan Jun hurriedly raised his shield, trying to block the arrow, but his movements were slightly slower.

An arrow with a fireball burning at the front of the tip struck the shoulder of the Yuan soldier.

The arrow pierced deeply into his shoulder, and Yuan Jun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, gasped, and the shield in his hand was not held, and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to bend down to pick up the shield, a third arrow flew towards him.

The dense arrows flew towards Yuan Jun, and the other Yuan soldiers on the side used shields to cover the rockets, but the Yuan Jun who bent down was exposed under the rockets with his entire back.

More than a dozen arrows were nailed to Yuan Jun's back, and Yuan Jun, who was shot by the arrows, didn't even have time to snort before he fell to the ground.

The feather arrows on his back burned with raging flames, and the skin of Yuan Jun, who had fallen to the ground, squeaked and squeaked with human oil.

The oil at the bottom of the skin was evaporated little by little under the flaming arrows and ignited.

Lying on the ground, the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had been shot to death, were soon wrapped in a ball of fire and burned into a pile of charcoal.

Most of the rockets fired by Cao Jun fell on the grain trucks, and all the grain trucks burned into flames under the attack of the rockets.

At first, Yuan Jun wanted to take advantage of the moment when Cao Jun's arrows fell to fight the flames, but after trying a few times and suffering a lot of casualties, Yuan Jun gave up relieving the grain and grass, but set up a shield array, surrounded the people in the middle, and wholeheartedly guarded against the arrows shot by Cao Jun.

"Kill!" The grain cart on the mountain road was already burning with flames, and Xu Huang on the hillside saw that it was impossible to make greater achievements if he continued to shoot arrows, so he carried a big axe, shouted, and rushed down the hillside first.
