    Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a thin slit. After accepting the order, he no longer hesitated and led the Black Wind Cavalry to rush into the forest to find where the Liangzhou army's food truck was hidden.  As for Wen Han and Xi Long, they led seven thousand cavalry troops to rush towards the position where Xu Huang's troops were besieged.

    "Fourth brother, don't panic! I'm coming!"

    Xu Huang, who was leading the army and Li's 20,000-strong army to resist, suddenly heard Wen Han's shout from behind. He swept away several Liangzhou soldiers with an axe. He turned around and saw Wen Han riding on the clouds and Wuzui.  Leading seven thousand cavalry troops, they rushed towards them with fierce fire.  This greatly boosted the morale of Xu Huang and his subordinates, and they all fought back as if they had been given blood.

    Li Cui's men and horses were frightened when they saw reinforcements coming from the enemy. When Wen Han's 7,000 cavalry troops arrived, as the horses galloped quickly, the sabers swung across the sky cut through the beautiful lines.  In an arc, he rushed into the crowd and slashed at the Liangzhou soldiers led by Li Jiu, causing the Liangzhou army to fall into chaos.

    At this time, Xu Huang seized an opening and rushed in front of Li Cui with his ax in hand, as if he wanted to unleash all the bad energy he had received today on Li Cui's head. He slashed with the big ax repeatedly, causing Li Cui's sword to tremble.  Mars rages.  Li Jie saw that Xu Huang was brave. After only a dozen moves, he cracked his jaws and did not dare to fight with him.  After Xu Huang kicked him, Li Ji used the force to roll around several times, and then took advantage of the crowd to escape to the rear.

    Li Jiu fled, and the Liangzhou soldiers under his command also lost their courage and retreated continuously.  Wen Han and Xu Huang joined forces and launched a fierce attack. Li Ji deliberately blocked them to buy time for Zhang Ji's army.  After Zhang Ji devours another Hedong Army, he will definitely come to help, and then they can switch from defense to offense.

    Wen Han and Xu Huang were both worried about Gao Shun's safety and shouted repeatedly, ordering his soldiers to attack fiercely. However, Li Cui was determined to delay the attack and ordered his soldiers to only defend and block.

    As time passed, Gao Shun's original seven thousand men and horses lost most of them, and Zhang Ji's army occupied half of the space on the valley cliff.  Even Gao Shun's three thousand archers put away their bows and joined the fight with their swords.

    In this tense and urgent atmosphere, somewhere in the forest, a group of soldiers and horses were resting very leisurely.

    "General Guo, General Li really missed everything. I just went out to see the battle situation. I'm afraid that in less than half a stick of incense, the Hedong Army on the valley cliff will be wiped out by General Zhang's men. By then.  At this time, General Zhang will lead his troops back to fight, and the remaining Hedong Army will probably be wiped out. "

    The person who spoke was an uncle under Guo Si. After hearing this, Guo Si snorted coldly and rolled his eyes in disdain.

    "Hmph, how could Li Ji have such a strategy if he is brave but not wise? If my guess is correct, the person who made the plan should be Jia Wenhe under his account. This person is more capable than Li Zhongling (Li Ru).  It¡¯s just that this person has a weird nature and doesn¡¯t like to show off, so he always lets Li Ji take the credit.¡±

    "Ah! Since Mr. Jia is so powerful, it is true that when I think of Mr. Jia's eyes, my heart palpitates. In front of him, I seem naked, as if he has seen all my thoughts.

    By the way, General Guo.  Let's wait and see if we can drive these grain trucks farther away.  General Li's order asked us to stay at least ten miles away from the battlefield and find a hiding place.  This place is less than two miles away from the battlefield, and it is open everywhere with little cover.  If there is an accident, we may not be able to explain it.  "

    "Hmph! What are you afraid of! Do you really think that Wen Bufan is a god? In this critical situation, you can still think of attacking the grain truck? This mountain road is bumpy, going back and forth, I don't know how much energy I have to waste. I can  We don¡¯t have much leisure time, so why not take a good rest here until the war is over.¡±

    "Yes, that's right. General Guo is considerate of us, so we don't have to walk so far. This grain truck is very heavy. We pushed it for several days, and our bodies were bruised and swollen."

    As soon as Guo Si finished speaking, he immediately won the unanimous approval of many soldiers in charge of pushing the cart.

    Guo Bang was about to say a few more words when suddenly there was a violent sound of horse hooves shaking, which scared Guo Bang to death.

    I saw Guan Yu, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, leading Hei Fengqi Li Yuanyuan to see these grain carts. He immediately whipped his horse whip wildly, and all of them were like black panthers, galloping towards them.

    ¡°Shoot upwards!!¡±

    Guan Yu gave the order, and the black wind rider quickly pulled the bow string into a semicircle with his sharp feet, and shot out suddenly with the wind.  A wave of arrows fell like a torrential rain. Guo Bang was shocked and quickly drew his sword to block it. Many Liangzhou soldiers who had no time to react were shot to the ground.

    Under Guan Yu's repeated orders, Heifengqi launched a violent storm and fired countless rounds of arrows. The arrows sent Guo Bin's soldiers and horses into chaos, and they could only flee for their lives with their heads in their hands.

    Originally, the five thousand soldiers under Guo Si were overwhelmed by the surging force of these rounds of arrows.Under the attack, the dead and injured fled, and most of them disappeared in an instant.

    At the same time, Guan Yu seemed not to give them any chance to breathe. The chaos of the Liangzhou army in front of him was the best time to charge. Black Wind Cavalry waved his spear and sat down on his horse and suddenly rushed towards him.  The spear blade pierced the bodies of Liangzhou soldiers one after another.

    And Guan Yu galloped on his horse and came to Guo Si majestically. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword swept out a cold and sharp light and struck Guo Si's body.

    With the red face and red phoenix eyes and the green dragon sword, isn¡¯t this exactly Wen Han¡¯s brother Guan Yu, Guan Gui Sang!  When Guo Bang saw Guan Yu charging towards him, the identity of the enemy general rang in his mind, and he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. When Guan Yu's sword came, Guo Bang almost used all his strength to raise the sword to block it.

    There was a loud bang, and the weapon in Guo Bang's hand burst into pieces. At the same time, he was rushed away by the force of the sword, and he hit several Liangzhou soldiers before he stopped in shock. Guo Bang's mouth became hot, and he spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, and quickly  With a stern voice and full of fear, he called to the soldiers around him to help him escape.

    Guan Yu has urgent matters at the moment. If he is late, Gao Shun will be in danger.  So I stopped chasing Guo Si.  Guan Yu picked up the Huozhezi from his arms.

    This is a novelty made by Wenhan. It is made of very rough earthen paper into a tight roll, with charcoal and phosphorus added to it.  Light it with fire and then blow it out. Although there is no flame at this time, you can see the red bright spots burning faintly, just like the embers in the ashes, which can stay alive for a long time.

    Phosphorus and carbon are oxygen-prone substances. When the temperature is high, if you blow them with your mouth or throw them away quickly, they will fully come into contact with oxygen and react violently and burn.

    When you need to ignite a fire, you only need to blow it to re-ignite it. However, blowing is very skillful and requires a sudden, short, and powerful air supply with a large volume.

    With this fire cover, it is enough to deal with some emergency situations where fire is needed, and it is light and easy to carry.  Therefore, Wenhan ordered the entire army to be equipped with one.  Guan Yu was already familiar with the Huozhezi. After blowing it for a while, he threw the Huozhezi into the grain cart, while the Black Wind Cavalry on the side also did the same action at the same time.

    One by one, the grain carts were ignited with raging flames, and there were many Liangzhou soldiers resisting nearby. Seeing these incoming Hedong cavalry, they were still shooting strange things towards the grain carts, and then the grain carts immediately  There was a huge fire, and everyone was so frightened that their faces turned green and their mouths turned pale.  These grain trucks are the lifeblood of the Liangzhou Army, and now nearly half of them have been burned. I am afraid that each of them will die to apologize.

    From the burning grain truck, thick black and acrid smoke rose into the sky, immediately turning the sky black.

    And Zhang Ji¡¯s Liangzhou army, which was about to push Gao Shun¡¯s soldiers and horses down the valley cliff, suddenly saw countless smoke rising from behind, and the smoke was dense, and they were immediately shocked.

    Zhang Ji, who was rushing forward to fight, had a look of horror on his face and an ominous omen in his heart.

    "Isn't it possible!! No! Once all the grain trucks are burned down, the army will not be without food for a day. Our army will definitely lose all morale and be slaughtered by the Hedong Army."

    There were less than 4,000 Hedong soldiers in front of him, but this grain truck was related to the life and death of the entire 50,000 Liangzhou army. Zhang Ji made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the withdrawal and rushed to the place where the smoke was rising.  Jia Xu and Li Ji, who were in the rear, saw the black fog and thick smoke rising two miles away, and they guessed that something was wrong. Later, together with Guo Bin who had escaped and the reports of his subordinates who were fleeing, they immediately stopped.  If they dared to hesitate, they all led their troops to rescue them.

    When Wen Han and Xu Huang saw Li Cui's troops suddenly retreating, and seeing the black mist spreading around them, they guessed that Guan Yu had successfully attacked the Liangzhou army's grain truck.  Wen Han and Xu Huang both had great morale and fled away.  After Guan Yu and Heifengqi burned about 70% of the grain carts, they saw countless troops from Liangzhou rushing over and quickly abandoned the grain carts and fled away.

    Jia Xu stared at the half-burned grain truck in front of her with wide eyes, and the slight smile on her face disappeared.  He sighed deeply, glanced at the gray-faced Guo Bang next to him, shook his head and said to himself.

    "One mistake will ruin the whole dish. One mouse excrement will ruin a whole nest of porridge."

    When Zhang Ji and Li Ji arrived, Zhang Ji saw the burning trains one after another, like a huge fire dragon. He was so angry that he wanted to chop Guo Si to death with a knife.  However, before he could run away, the Hedong army behind him was already chasing him.  At this time, most of the grain trucks were burned, and the morale of the Liangzhou army was completely lost. The remaining 30% of the grain trucks could not be lost.  Zhang Ji and Li Ji quickly led the demoralized Liangzhou army to resist, while Jia Xu followed behind and evacuated with the remaining grain trucks.

    The Hedong Army had been being teased and applauded by the Liangzhou Army, and everyone was holding back a breath of bad breath. Now they seemed to be letting out their bad breath. All the Hedong Army were as brave as tigers and wolves.  But Zhang Ji and Li Cui's troops were like lambs, letting them pounce on their food.  The Hedong Army fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sky was filled with blood.

    ? ?Finally, the news came that Jia Xu had safely sent away the remaining grain trucks. Zhang Ji and Li Ji, who were dizzy from being killed and caught off guard, breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly stopped this act of sending their troops to death and led the army to flee.  go.  Except for Wen Han's troops, everyone in the Hedong Army fought for most of the day. They were exhausted at this time, so Wen Han stopped chasing and went back to meet Gao Shun's troops, and then together they returned to Yanshi.

    At this point, the Liangzhou army, which had the upper hand in a good situation, was overturned by the Hedong army, which was at an absolute disadvantage, just because of Guo Si's negligence.  Not only did they lose most of their food and fodder, but in the end they were killed by the Hedong Army and were unable to fight back, resulting in heavy losses.

    Zhang Ji was forced to find a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack thirty miles away from Yanshi and temporarily set up camp.

    Later, after statistics, Zhang Ji heard that the remaining grain and grass were only enough to last for two months, and today he had lost more than 10,000 men and horses. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Guo Si with a knife.  Later, because Li Ji and other soldiers interceded for Guo Si, although Zhang Ji was angry, he did not take action in the end. He had Guo Si tied up and sent back to Luoyang, where Dong Zhuo took care of him.

    Now the food and grass are only enough to last for two months, which means that Zhang Ji must attack Yanshi and obtain supplies within two months before he can continue his expedition to Hedong.

    Today, Zhang Ji, who originally had the upper hand but was defeated by Wen Han, turned the tide and was defeated. At this time, Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.  But considering Dong Zhuo's temper, if he fled back to Luoyang in such an anticlimactic manner, he would definitely be severely punished, and he might not even be able to save his neck and head.
