The night is like splashing ink, and the stars are dim.
The night wind in early spring was still cold, penetrating through the thick armor, making people feel chilly in their vests.
Yuan Fang subconsciously tightened his armor and looked up at the dark sky.
The clouds are as thin as gauze, and the half crescent moon is only faintly visible.
"The moon has passed its zenith, and it's almost time. Send the order and light the trumpet." Yuan Fang shouted in a deep voice.
After the order was passed down, three piles of trumpets were lit in the open space of the camp in an instant, and the flames rising into the sky were clearly visible for more than ten miles.
Yuan Fang held a skull-crushing stick in his hand, sat on a white horse, and walked towards the camp gate.
On the front line of the gate, groups of soldiers were already lined up solemnly.
There are a lot of soldiers, a forest of swords and guns, and under the firelight, every young face is filled with agitation and excitement.
They all know that tonight will be a decisive battle.
Yan Liang came on horseback and shouted excitedly: "Sir, my brothers are all ready. Just waiting for your order, we will rush to the east and break the siege of the Xuzhou dog thieves."
The whole army thought that their son planned to cooperate with Zang Ba inside and outside to defeat the enemy's eastern encirclement.
Yuan Fang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and moved his horse forward. With blood flowing in his eagle eyes, he scanned his subordinates.
Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "Brothers, I know that you are already exhausted. Tonight, I, Yuan Fang, ask you to use your last fighting spirit, follow me, Yuan Fang, to fight to the end, defeat the enemy invaders in Xuzhou, and let our Enemies, always remember the pain of today!¡±
Liexun¡¯s bold words were like a spark, instantly igniting the surging blood of the generals.
¡°Fight to the bitter end~~¡±
¡°Fight to the bitter end~~¡±
The excited soldiers waved their weapons and roared with excitement. Their high fighting spirit had already suppressed their physical fatigue.
Looking at the enthusiastic soldiers, a trace of relief appeared on the handsome face of the young man.
Without any further hesitation, Yuan Fang pointed his skull-crushing stick towards the south and roared: "Move out the entire army and kill the enemy camp in the north of the city for me -"
As soon as the bell-like order came out, all the soldiers in the army were shocked and looked surprised.
Yan Liang was even more surprised and said: "Didn't Young Master say that he was going to attack the enemy camp in the east? Why did he suddenly change the enemy camp in the north?"
Yuan Fang sneered and said: "That's just my strategy. Cao Bao and Liu Bei have probably fallen into the trap at this moment. They have transferred all their elite troops to the east. The enemy camp in the north is empty. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, I will wait even longer." when."
Guo Huai, Zhu Ling and other generals immediately understood Yuan Fang's intentions. They were all pleasantly surprised and secretly praised Yuan Fang's wisdom.
Yan Liang was not very resourceful and was at a loss for a while, still not understanding what he meant.
"Zizheng, this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, don't you understand?" Zhu Ling explained excitedly.
Yan Liangxiong¡¯s body trembled, and he suddenly realized what he was doing, and said in shock: ¡°Sir, it turns out you are playing tricks on the enemy again, and we were almost fooled by you too.¡±
Yuan Fang laughed and said that this strategy was proposed by Guo Jia, but Guo Jia did not like to take credit, so Yuan Fang was the only one who received the surprise and admiration of the generals.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Yuan Fang said no more. He raised his stick and said, "We all know the truth, so what are you waiting for? Cheer up and give me a good kill tonight."
Yan Liang and other generals were all full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. There was no doubt that they led their troops out of the camp.
Fourteen thousand Yuan Jun's infantry and cavalry came out in full force and went straight to the enemy camp in the north of the city to kill.
With their horses bound on their hooves and their men wearing titles, the army quickly approached the enemy camp several miles away under the cover of darkness.
Yuan Fang leaped in front of the army and looked at the enemy camp in the distance.
However, they saw that the enemy camp was brightly lit, the gate of the camp was tightly guarded, and there were two sets of antlers outside the camp.
Although the enemy's main force is not present, they are still on guard and vigilant. The person guarding the camp must be a good general.
"Sir, the enemy's defense is quite tight." Guo Huai rode forward with a solemn tone.
Yuan Fang raised his skull-crushing stick and said resolutely: "The arrow is on the string and must be fired. Quickly order all the troops to light the fire for me!"
Xinqi was galloping back and forth, and the order to light the fire was quickly conveyed to the entire army layer by layer.
The soldiers lit the torches they carried one after another. In an instant, four to five thousand torches rose like a prairie fire. The scorching light illuminated the sky and the earth.
"The whole army rushes forward and burns down the enemy camp!" Yuan Fang pointed his stick heavily and shouted loudly.
A long horn sounded, and the order to attack was issued.
Generals Zhu Ling and Guo Huai rushed out, leading five thousand soldiers, holding a torch in hand, shouting and rushing towards the enemy camp.
Sudden changes occur.
Suddenly gongs sounded loudly in the enemy camp, and the Xuzhou soldiers on guard saw thousands of fires coming towards them. Knowing that Yuan Jun was attacking the camp, they rushed towards the line of the camp fence to the north, hoping to stop Yuan Jun from breaking into the camp.
Three hundred crossbowmen on duty quickly reached the front line of the camp gate and fired arrows at the Yuan army rushing outside the camp.
Random arrows roared towards them, and immediately many of Yuan's soldiers fell to the ground after being struck by arrows, with screams coming one after another.
But how could a mere arrow attack stop Yuan Jun's charge?
Five thousand warriors of Yuan's army, fearless of life and death, and with hatred for the invaders, rushed outside the enemy camp like a tide.
Amidst the roar, Sergeant Yuan used all his strength to throw the torch in his hand towards the enemy camp.
Five thousand torches rose into the sky, like flying fireballs all over the sky, roaring towards the enemy camp.
The Xuzhou Army on duty were all stunned by the fire net coming from the sky. They had no choice but to watch the fire rain falling from the sky into their camp.
As soon as the torch fell, the fences, antlers, and even the tents were all set ablaze, and the fire spread along the camp line in an instant.
When the fire started like this, the morale of the Xuzhou Army, which had been calm to respond to the enemy, suddenly became chaotic. Everyone screamed in fear, and their fighting spirit was seriously frustrated.
General Zhu Ling and others seized the opportunity, scolded five thousand soldiers and horses, and took advantage of the situation to rush towards the enemy camp.
The antlers and camp fences burned by the fire soon became fragile. Yuan Jun easily destroyed the surrounding obstacles and charged into the enemy camp like tigers and wolves.
¡°Well done!¡±
Yuan Fang cheered, glanced at Yan Liang, and shouted: "Yan Zizheng, it's time for you to show your power. Lead your cavalry to kill the enemy camp and level it."
Yan Liang, whose murderous intention had long been burning, let out a violent roar and shot out a long knife with electricity from his hand.
Seven hundred cavalrymen burst into pieces, followed Yan Liang, and rushed out to kill the enemy camp.
Seven hundred cavalrymen followed the path opened by the infantry and headed straight for the camp gate. Yan Liang's broadsword slashed out from left to right, slashing the burning camp gate into pieces with a "click".
The camp gate has been broken down, and Yan Liang uses his iron cavalry to rush into the Xuzhou military camp like a copper wall.
The cavalry galloped fiercely, and the panicked enemy soldiers were crushed to pieces no matter how they could resist.
Yan Liang drove straight in, killing wildly towards the hinterland of the enemy camp.
Zhu Ling and other generals, each leading his own infantry, followed the gap created by Yan Liang and poured into the enemy camp like a tide.
Seeing that the front army had succeeded, Yuan Fang became so arrogant that he immediately rode out and commanded the remaining 7,000 rear troops to cover up and kill them.
Xuzhou Army Camp, Zhongjun Tent.
Guan Yu was still sitting upright, stroking his beautiful beard with one hand and holding a letter in the other, reading "Spring and Autumn" at night.
Between the eyebrows, there is an aura of self-reliance and contempt for the world.
"General, it's already so late, General, please rest early." An old soldier who was serving carefully advised.
Guan Yu put down the letter, stroked his beard and sighed: "The eldest brother and the third brother went to ambush the little thief Yuan Fang, but they left me here to guard the camp. I missed the revenge battle tonight. I can't sleep."
Guan Yu was worried that he would not be able to kill Yuan Fang with his own hands.
"My lord left the general behind, which is also a sign of trust in the general. When the time comes, my lord kills the little thief Yuan Fang, doesn't it mean he has avenged the general." The old soldier complimented.
Guan Yu nodded slightly and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "The little thief Yuan Fang was lucky enough to be rampant for a while. Today, he finally has to pay the price. He really deserves it."
As soon as he said "you deserve it", the sky outside the tent suddenly became bright, as if countless heavenly fires were falling.
At that moment, it was so painful that Guan Yu couldn't even open his eyes.
"What's going on!" Guan Yu was shocked, jumped up, and ran out of the tent in a few steps.
Lifting his eyes toward the fire, Guan Yu was shocked to see a fire bursting out along the line of the camp gate to the north, and it burned into a sea of ??flames in a matter of seconds.
Immediately afterwards, the shouting and killing sounds came from far to near, as if the sky was cracking.
Guan Yu was shocked and doubtful. Before he could recover, a scout on horseback rushed over and exclaimed: "General, something bad has happened. The enemy has made a surprise attack and has broken through the camp gate. The killer is coming in!"
Guan Yu's aloof and arrogant expression suddenly changed dramatically.
