    【I wish you all a Happy New Year!  !  ] Less than ten miles away from Wuchao Camp, Cao Hong was leading the remaining hundreds of soldiers to hold on. Although the soldiers who came to support Wuchao Camp only had 5,000 cavalry, they were already fatal to Cao's army.  Yes.  Leading a thousand soldiers, Cao Hong had already encountered Han Meng before he had time to choose the battlefield. Without any hesitation, Cao Hong led a thousand soldiers and horses to rush forward and collided with 5,000 reinforcements and cavalry.  The advantage of the cavalry was maximized in the open wilderness. In a confrontation, a thousand Cao soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties, which was considered half of the casualties.  With such heavy casualties, Cao Hong did not choose to continue a head-on confrontation with Han Meng. Instead, he led the remaining several hundred soldiers to lure Han Meng's five thousand cavalry away from their original direction.  Originally he was worried whether these reinforcements would choose to pursue from behind, but when he saw that the cavalry behind him turned their horses and pursued him and others, Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the remaining troops and horses were not enough to resist the cavalry,  But we can only try our best to delay time.  After an hour and a half of running, only 300 of the 500 soldiers were left, and these 300 people were exhausted at this time, struggling to resist the attack of 5,000 cavalry.  Three hundred people were surrounded by five thousand people on a hillside, and below the hillside five thousand cavalry were roaring and running back and forth. The leader, General Han Meng, looked excited at this time. There was nothing wrong with it.  He was more excited than chasing the enemy.  These Cao soldiers deliberately lured them away from Wuchao. Han Meng was not unaware of this, but the commander of the other side was Cao Hong. Cao Hong was one of the few generals under Cao Cao. As long as he captured Cao Hong, it would be a great achievement.  As for whether the food and grass in Wuchao would be burned by Cao's soldiers, Han Meng had never doubted this. With Chunyu Qiong's strength and the cooperation of 20,000 soldiers and horses, it was enough to annihilate Cao's soldiers who attacked Wuchao camp and chase them away.  After going to Wuchao and getting nothing, it is better to take the opportunity to capture Cao Hong and receive the reward.  "Come up and capture Cao Hong." Looking at the exhausted Cao soldiers on the hillside, Han Meng shouted.  Following Han Meng's loud shout, hundreds of soldiers dismounted and headed towards the hillside. Although the horses could rush up this hillside, the rain of bows and arrows shot from the hillside could easily kill them.  After trying several times to kill, Han Meng had no choice but to give up and rush forward.  Looking at the Yuan soldiers rushing down the mountain, Cao Hong sighed helplessly. The arrows on the mountain were getting less and less and they would be used up in a few times. At that time, they would have no choice but to be slaughtered.  While ordering to save arrows, Cao Hong stood up and held a long sword in his hand, staring coldly down the mountain. Looking at the Yuan soldiers who were getting closer, he shouted in a deep voice: "Fire the arrows!"  , only about ten or so, but these arrows accurately killed the Yuan soldiers at the front, and none of the arrows missed. Cao Hong glanced at the Yuan soldiers who fell halfway on the road with satisfaction, and Cao Hong felt the same in his heart.  He breathed a sigh of relief.  He selected more than ten soldiers among the three hundred who were good at shooting, and gathered all the arrows to provide shooting for these ten people. The result was far beyond his expectation. Ten soldiers were good at shooting.  Although the arrows fired by the remaining men were fewer, they were more accurate and posed a greater threat to Yuan Bing. Therefore, whenever Cao Hong shouted to release arrows, Yuan Bing on the hillside was unable to move forward.  This time was no exception. More than ten arrows instantly killed more than ten soldiers in the front. Yuan Bing's soldiers in the rear were no longer willing to move forward. They could shoot so accurately from such a long distance. If they were rushing forward,  Wouldn't it be to die?  "If you disobey, behead!" Han Meng, the tall man on the hillside, shouted with a gloomy face. Following Han Meng's shouts, a number of young generals stood up and urged the soldiers forward. After beheading more than ten soldiers,  After that, Yuan Bing's soldiers rushed towards the hillside again.  "Fire the arrow!" Cao Hong shouted again. 咻咻咻咻 More than ten feather arrows flew away, instantly killing several young generals who were urging the soldiers to come forward. Yuan Bing was once again plunged into chaos.  "Bastard!" Han Meng roared angrily, turning his head to look at the dozen or so cronies beside him. When Han Meng looked at them, they all bowed their heads and remained silent. Even at such a short distance, they had no confidence that they could dodge the arrows.  "Put out the torch and charge again!" Han Meng shouted in a deep voice.  In an instant, all the torches on the hillside were extinguished, leaving only a hundred or so torches at the top of the hillside. When Han Meng ordered the torches to be extinguished, Cao Hong also ordered the torches to be extinguished, and the entire hillside quickly fell into darkness.  Screams sounded from time to time in the darkness, but no one knew what happened. It was even more difficult to predict whether the screams were from Yuan Bing or Cao Bing.  Half an hour later, the screams gradually weakened,Mengcai ordered the torches to be lit again. In this half hour, he had sent a thousand troops and horses to rush up the hillside. Even if they exchanged lives for lives, it was enough to wipe out Cao's soldiers on the hillside.  The torches all over the mountain were lit again, and the entire hillside was bare. More than ten figures standing on the top of the mountain were extremely dazzling. Han Meng took a breath of cold air. A thousand people were lost, and Cao Bing on the hillside  There were less than twenty people left.  "Get it for me!" He was frightened and angry at first, and then when he saw Cao Hong standing on the mountain, Han Meng's face softened and he shouted sharply.  "No." Immediately, hundreds of soldiers rushed to the mountain peak, trying to capture Cao Hong and others.  Looking at the soldiers rushing up, Cao Hong had a wry smile on his face. How could the remaining ten or so men withstand the final attack? Looking up in the direction of Wuchao, Cao Hong sighed. Now he can only delay for the Lord.  A quarter of an hour later, thinking about this, Cao Hong raised his sword again and looked at the soldiers rushing up.  Boom!  "Kill!" Not long after, more than ten people were surrounded by hundreds of Yuan soldiers. Cao Hong roared and rushed towards Yuan soldiers.  Boom!  At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance, unusually dazzling, and then the fire spread into a huge fire in an instant, filling the entire sky, illuminating the dark night, even  Even though they were several miles away, Cao Hong could see clearly.  "Successful!" Cao Hong was stunned at first, and then he was filled with ecstasy. The efforts of a thousand people were not in vain, and the persistence of two hours was not in vain. The lord finally succeeded in burning down the Wuchao Camp.  "What is that?" "Isn't that the direction of Wuchao Camp? How could there be a fire?" "What happened to Wuchao Camp? How could there be a sudden fire?" A series of voices of discussion followed.  Thousands of Yuan Bing's soldiers looked at the monstrous flames with blank expressions, and couldn't help but guess what happened.  Han Meng at the foot of the mountain looked at the sudden fire, first in disbelief, and then with a look of fear on his face. He had no time to deal with Cao Hong and others on the mountain, and quickly ordered the army to retreat, and then ignored the fact that the army had not yet been assembled.  Rush towards the Wuchao Camp first.  …………………………………………………………………… The fire was so bright that even in the dark night, you could see the billowing black smoke. It was so intense that the entire camp was filled with smoke.  Shrouded in flames, this camp was originally a place for storing grain and grass. Although various fire-setting measures were taken, they were still unable to stop this man-made fire.  The dazzling firelight illuminated the entire camp and its surroundings. A famous soldier in the open field raised his head blankly and looked at the unexpected firelight.  Defeated!  Lost!  After the initial confusion, a soldier named Yuan Bing looked at the fire in despair, without the courage to put life and death at risk just now.  Guarding the camp here was originally their honor, but this honor no longer exists, and with the fire, it falls forever.  Guarding grain and grassland is the most unattractive job, because guarding grain and grassland is destined to stay in the rear. You cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, you cannot have an army, you cannot be promoted, and you cannot honor your ancestors.  But this time, the food and fodder for the hundreds of thousands of troops is of great importance. Guarding the food and fodder has become a job of considerable credit. As long as the food and fodder is not lost, you will have your own share of the credit after winning the battle. Therefore, countless people throughout Jizhou are scrambling for this  In the end, Yuan Shao chose Chunyu Qiong for the job of twenty thousand people. On the one hand, it was because of Chunyu Qiong, and on the other hand, because they were all veterans, and each of them had gone through cruel wars.  They were proud of it at the beginning, but now their pride was trampled on by the emperor, and they could only watch helplessly.  "Failed, still defeated after all!"  Chunyu Qiong, who was at the gate of the camp, looked at the flames in the camp with a dejected expression.  The moment the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry appeared, he predicted the outcome of this battle. At that time, he only needed to send reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible and cooperate internally and externally to kill all Cao's soldiers. However, this expectation was shattered at this time.  .  Yuan Bing did not show up for more than two hours, which gave Chun Yuqiong the urge to kill me. After two hours and forty miles, it was speculated that reinforcements should have arrived long ago, but they were still nowhere to be seen.  trace.  Even if Cao Cao ambushed him halfway, the Yuan soldiers dispatched by Yuan Shao's power should have arrived long ago.  "General." Just when Chunyu Qiong was about to decide whether to live or die, a voice came over.  "Huh?" Chunyu Qiong turned his head and saw a scout walking quickly. Chunyu Qiong was stunned for a while.He was so happy that he shook his head and sighed.  "General, General Zhang Jaw's scouts had discovered Cao Cao's troops and horses long ago and reported the news to Duke Ming. However, Duke Ming listened to the opinions of Guo Tu and others and sent a hundred thousand troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, but only sent  Han Meng led five thousand soldiers and horses to rush for reinforcements. Han Meng had arrived near Wuchao a long time ago, but he kept entangled with Cao Hong and did not rush to help. General, this battle is not the responsibility of the general. It is Guo Tu and Han Meng.  "Is this true?" Chunyu Qiong was shocked.  "This statement is absolutely true. Now that Wuchao is burned, Han Meng will definitely shift all the blame to the general. The general, his subordinates, and their families will also be implicated. Please rush to the camp as soon as possible.  , Report the truth to Duke Mingming, to prevent Guo Tu, Han Meng and others from turning things upside down." Chunyu Qiong's face changed several times, and finally she nodded and rushed towards Yuan Shao's camp with dozens of soldiers.
