1141 Burning the company camp

"I'm a little hesitant about this, I don't know what Ji Ran thinks?" Liu Bei asked.

"Don't worry, since Nanjun is on the verge of chaos, it is better to wait for time, wait for its fighting spirit to be exhausted, and you can get it in one fell swoop." Cheng Ji said confidently.

"What if they want to protect themselves, and go all out to counterattack?" Chen Zhen asked.

"Lu Xun is as timid as a mouse, since he should be the first choice to retreat, our side will be based on Nanjun at that time, Jiangdong will be difficult to preserve!" Cheng Ji disagreed.

"Hmph, Lu Xun can become the governor of the capital with just a scholar, and his wisdom should not be underestimated. If Lu Xun is incompetent, it is equivalent to saying that Sun Quan is blind, and Jiangdong is blind from top to bottom! Chen Zhen said angrily.

"Before, you were worried that Jiangdong would divide and encroach on our army, but now that many days have passed, why have you never seen Lu Xun make any moves?" Cheng Ji struck.

"You?! Could it be that you are still looking forward to the attack of Jiangdong?! Chen Zhen's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Wars are fought by strategy, not by words. We have been waiting here for many days, so if we attack Nanjun, why do we need to do it again? ”

"How can a soldier stick to this?"

……

The two quarreled endlessly, both of them were eloquent, and the quarrel made Liu Bei's head hurt, so he waved his hand to stop the two. Liu Bei trusted Cheng Ji, and Chen Zhen's proposal was not adopted in the end, and after all, he missed the opportunity and lost his hatred of Wu!

Nanjun's soldiers and horses were quickly mobilized, and two days later, the sky turned overcast, as if it was going to rain. Lu Xun made a quick decision, immediately adjusted the combat time, and launched a large army one day in advance.

At the second watch, the armies of Jiangdong quietly went out of the city, people raised grass, horses picked bells, and although they did not make any sound, they touched Liu Bei's various camps.

It was a dark moonlit night, although Liu Bei's army set up a beacon tower, but the soldiers in charge of the lookout did not see the movement of Nanjun for several days, and the vigilance had already been slack, and the other party's concealment work was very in place, so they did not even realize that a large number of enemy troops were approaching.

At the third watch, a cold wind poured into Liu Bei's tent, and Liu Bei, who had just fallen asleep, hit a stirring spirit and woke up.

People are getting old, sleeping has become lighter, Liu Bei who woke up can't sleep anymore, and the past keeps coming to mind. He remembered the Taoyuan Three Knots back then, it was the three brothers who drank and talked happily, how high-spirited they were, and now the two good brothers are gone, leaving only him, a lonely old man.

Lying like this for an hour, he really couldn't sleep, Liu Bei got up and wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as the curtain was opened, a gust of wind blew, which made him feel a little chilly, and he couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly, afraid that the hot summer would soon pass and usher in a cold autumn.

As soon as Liu Bei was about to step out of the big tent, he heard the shouts of killing all around, and the guards rushed over and stumbled to report: "Saint, saint, the enemy is coming!" ”

"How many people are coming?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"I don't know the number, it's all over the mountains!"

Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the situation in front of him made him almost faint to the ground, only to see that due north, countless torches lit up half of the night sky, and the noisy sound of people shouting and neighing horses was earth-shattering.

The sleeping soldiers in the camp got up and dressed one after another, and quickly gathered towards Liu Bei's side, and the army of Jiangdong came in an instant, firing a burning rocket, forming a huge rain of arrows, enveloping this side.

"Holy Lord, the enemy army is strong, retreat quickly!" Chen Zhen came to him and shouted anxiously.

"Before you fight, how can you escape!" Liu Bei didn't dare to do it.

"Holy!" Chen Zhen said eagerly: "The enemy army is prepared, and our army is too scattered, so the Holy Lord should evacuate quickly!" ”

Liu Bei nodded helplessly, looked back, very dazed, there were mountains behind him, I really didn't know where to go?

Chen Zhen urged: "The minister has already found a mountain road to the riverside. ”

"Aiqing is bothered!" Liu Bei said gratefully, the current danger was full of dangers, and he didn't dare to delay at all, so he hurriedly led the way by Chen Zhen, and under the escort of a team of thousands of soldiers, he headed towards the mountain road.

Feng Xi, the general stationed nearby, hurriedly sorted out the army, and in the face of the Jiangdong army and the rockets like rain, the soldiers did not fight for days, and the army was disheartened, and many people ran directly towards the mountain regardless of the order.

Feng Xi was so angry that he beat and scolded, his voice was hoarse, and it was not easy to organize a team of more than 10,000 people, but it was too late, Lu Xun personally commanded the army, and did not immediately rush into the camp, but just blocked the way, and kept releasing arrows and arrows. Nanjun's well-prepared arrows finally came in handy at this moment.

The drought made the trees very flammable, and the overwhelming rockets not only ignited the camp of the Shu army, but also set fire to the trees in the mountains and forests, crackling.

The fire naturally generates wind, and the fire spreads rapidly with the help of the wind, and the momentum is extremely amazing. It is said that water and fire are ruthless, and if you are crazy, you will not care about the panic and despair in people's hearts, and the tongue of fire that swallows will burn without scruples.

In less than half an hour, the mountain range at the southern foot where Liu Bei was camped had been fully fired, forming a huge fire dragon. This was far from over, the fire dragon writhed its muscular body, gulping it up, making itself stronger, delusional that the fire would illuminate the sky.

Those Shu soldiers who fled into the mountains and forests were besieged by the fire, thick smoke, scorching heat, and flames followed, with a terrible scream, one by one the fire people ran wildly, and where they passed, they didn't know how many dry grass and dead leaves were ignited, and finally curled up and fell to the ground, burned to only a few bones.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were stationed on both sides of Liu Bei's camp and were attacked by fierce fire from Pan Zhang and Ling Tong. The other side just released arrows and refused to fight at all.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing also suffered heavy losses, and finally each took 5,000 men and horses and lost their armor and evacuated. Due to the fire on the mountain, there was no way to retreat, so the two could only run along the foothills, and they couldn't tell the direction at all in the night.

Feng Xi listened to the screams in his ears, his heart was broken, and he cursed angrily: "Lu Xun, I curse you not to die well!" ”

Subsequently, Feng Xi led the army to brave the rocket and resolutely rushed in the direction of Lu Xun. Seeing this, Lu Xun showed a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered to release arrows towards Feng Xi's army.

The Shu army, which was already frightened by the fire, had extremely poor combat effectiveness, and before they rushed out, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and the rest of them fled in all directions.

Feng Xi just rushed to Lu Xun with more than 100 people, but he was already injured in many places, standing on the horse and crumbling, Lu Xun unceremoniously ordered the deputy general around him to aim at Feng Xi and shoot arrows.

Whoosh, two arrows plunged into Feng Xi's chest, Feng Xi screamed, gritted his teeth, reached out to break the arrow, stubbornly raised the big knife, used the last bit of strength, and threw it at Lu Xun.
