Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 92
Chapter 92 Fire Camp
“There’s no need for that. Just leave a few people on patrol. Everyone needs a good rest. We’ll be fighting tomorrow. That’s all.” Thick fan waved his hand and brought QinBing to the tent. He didn’t think that Zhang Chao would play the same trick a second time. I’ve already said that with what happened just now, those patrols should be more careful, right?
Fan Chou went back to rest, and the other soldiers also went back to rest. Qu Zhang, who was in charge of patrolling, had indeed become much more careful. After two hours had passed and another two hours had passed, he relaxed his vigilance. In his opinion, the harassment would not happen again. After all, it was going to be dawn in an hour. At that time, everyone had to get up. Who would come to look for trouble?
However, what this Qu Zhang did not know was that at this moment, Zhang Chao was leading his 3,500 men to surround them.
Beside Zhang Chao was Dian Wei, who had just killed everyone in all directions.
Dian Wei returned to Zhang Chao’s tent covered in blood and knelt on the ground with a thud. He claimed that he hadn’t completed the mission, didn’t kill Fan Chou, and hadn’t even met him once.
Originally, he thought that he had returned without completing the task, so even if Zhang Chao let him off, he would still have to mock him. However, Zhang Zhiyuan actually picked him up, ignoring the fact that there was still fresh blood stained his white clothes and said, “What a full man. What a hero. He entered the enemy camp alone and killed hundreds of enemies before retreating. What a tiger general!”
Zhang Chao’s performance caused Dian Wei’s face to flush red as he said, “Lord, don’t say anything. In the end, Wei didn’t complete the task properly.”
“Ah, why haven’t you finished the task? You’ve already finished it very well. Come, let’s go in and talk.” Zhang Chao then Dian Wei’s hand laughed loudly into the tent.
In the military tent, Dian Wei listened to Zhang Chao’s narrative before realizing that he was charging towards Fan Chou’s enemy camp just to prepare for his next plan. With the episode just now, Fan Zhou would look down on Zhang Chao even more, believing that he only dared to secretly make a move and did not dare to face the enemy head-on. In this way, the defense would definitely slack off, which created an opportunity for the army to attack with all their might.
Knowing that he had truly contributed, Dian Wei naturally had a happy expression on his face. When the time came, he followed Zhang Chao out with a thousand troops, aiming straight at Fan Chou’s barracks.
There is still an hour to light up the day, at this time the west cool army of the whole barracks into a quiet, even patrolling soldiers also began to get sleepy. At this time, no one thought that there would be enemies.
However, just when everyone thought that this was impossible, a group of about a hundred capable soldiers appeared around the camp.
As soon as these people appeared, they first approached the patrol squads. Then, before these people could figure out what was going on, some of them even had their throats cut while they were walking with their eyes closed, turning them into ghosts of unjust death.
Groups of patrolling soldiers were assassinated. When Captain Qu, who was leading the team, discovered that something was amiss and couldn’t see a subordinate squad patrolling for a long time, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and shot straight at a military tent beside him.
It was a bow and arrow stained with kerosene.
This was not the first time Zhang Chao had done the fire attack. In addition, he had been prepared. Once the fire started, it would be continuous and rockets would fall down like rain.
A total of 1000 archers, each with ten rockets, shot out a total of 10,000. Even though the shot was a little off, the number of shots that could have been hit was still quite considerable.
Suddenly, a fire broke out, and Qu Zhang knew that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to shout, a lot of shouts rang out from the east, west, and north. Countless black torrents surged over.
“Run.” Chief Qu stopped shouting. At this moment, only the word’escape ‘remained in his mind. Without knowing how many enemies there were, without any precautions, and in an environment full of fires, he already knew that he would lose this battle.
Compared to the always sober XiaoQu long, many west cool army also don’t know what is going on is in front of a flame.
Waiting for the tent these soldiers hurriedly stood up, put on their jackets and walked out of the tent, the face of xu chu from the west, zhaoyun from the east and the north led by dian wei.
All three are tiger generals, once the weapons in their hands forward, that is a west cool soldier’s life was terminated.
His strength was already inferior to others, and coupled with his inability to form an effective defense, the only thing he could do next was to flee everywhere, hoping to find a way to survive.
General Fan’s situation was no better either. First, he was woken up by a burst of flames. Then, he heard a shout of death. This made him jump up from the bed. After a loud shout, he didn’t even wear his armor and rushed out of the tent.
QinBing had already led the horses, came to Fan Dou’s side, waiting for the commander’s order.
“Retreat, retreat south.” When he heard his subordinates describe the situation before him, he ordered them to retreat south as expected, because only there was no sign of the enemy.
He didn’t care about anything, but after taking a long spear from his weapon, Fan Zhou jumped onto his horse and retreated south with his personal guards and some soldiers who had fled to his side.
The main general escaped without caring about the soldiers below. No organization, west cool soldiers resistance is even weaker, there are some lost confidence, and don’t want to die west cool soldiers simply gave up resistance, knelt on the ground, raised the weapon in his hand.
Fire everywhere, shadows, west cool soldiers was disintegrated, in addition to being burned to death, under the army was killed, the rest of the west cool soldiers all knelt to surrender. It wasn’t that they didn’t have the courage to resist, but the situation forced them to do so.
“Eh! Where did that fellow Fan Chou run off to? Should I take his head?” Dian Wei, who was carrying a pair of iron halberds, walked into the crowd with a group of soldiers. He searched around for Fan Zhou’s figure and couldn’t help but ask loudly after failing to find him.
“General, Fan Zhou escaped south with a group of QinBing.” A company commander of Zhang Chao’s army, the captain of the Centurion Team, quickly came to Dian Wei’s side to report.
“What? To the south. Aiya, this is cheap for that fellow Lyu bu.” Hearing that, Dian Wei shook his head regretfully.
‘”Hurry up, follow me to the horse house to take a look.”
“General, General Zhao has already gone there in advance. I’m afraid it’s too late to go now.” It was still the company commander who reported.
‘”What? Zilong snatched it from my head. Aiya, it’s all my fault. Just wanting to kill a happy person is really forgetting the main target. Forget it, forget it. Then I’ll count the prisoners here.” When Dian Wei heard that even stealing a horse’s merit required one step at night, he gave up on the idea of seizing the great merit.
Zhao Yun was currently in the horse house, because of the sudden attack, originally there were one thousand horses Fan Choujun, now there were eight hundred horses left in the horse house. Looking at these strong horses, Zhao Yun was delighted from ear to ear.
Previously, Zhang Chao had promised him that he would be allowed to set up a cavalry team that belonged to him alone. People could choose as they pleased, but the problem with the horse had to be solved by themselves.
This time, it was hard for Zhao Yun to break. He knew the value of horses under warhorses. He himself didn’t have much money. How could he get more horses? Could it be that he couldn’t rob them?
On this matter, Zhao Yun asked one of the military counselors, Cao Shu. The answer given by Xu Yuanzhi was, if he couldn’t afford it, wouldn’t he snatch it? As long as it’s obtained from battle, I’m sure master will allocate some to you. If you accumulate it like this, you’ll have horses, so won’t you naturally have cavalry?
As a result, zhaoyun heart count, this battle he had long aimed at fan thick west cool horse, and in the eyes of the overall situation is decided, he brought people to the horse house. After seeing that he had captured 800 horses, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He seemed to have seen that the cavalry team was hopeful.
Zhao Yun was delighted. Ten miles away, next to another forest, the first general, Lyu bu, was also revealing his fangs, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
After arriving in Hongnong Prefecture, Lyu bu had been hiding in the snow. The reason for that was because his name was too big, and once it was revealed, it would be very difficult for him to not be recognized.
Lyu bu, who had been hiding amongst the ordinary soldiers, thought that there was no credit left for him this time. He couldn’t help but feel depressed in his heart. When he came out this time, he had promised the sable cicada that he would definitely make a great contribution to the battle, but now that he couldn’t even show his face, what kind of contribution could he make?
Lyu bu, who was feeling depressed, was suddenly called out by Zhang Chao at night. He was then given five hundred Zhang Clan cavalry and was given the important task of taking down Fan Chou’s head.
Zhang chao’s order is only one, that is not to allow a west cool soldier to escape, otherwise, it is not a credit.
There are seven thousand people west cool soldiers, if you want to take down a not pull, to block the news is obviously very difficult. However, Lyu bu did not hesitate and agreed.
Not to mention that he was anxious to make a contribution, this was already an opportunity. Simply speaking, he was extremely confident in Zhangjiajun Qingqi. He believed that as long as these people complemented him, any mission would be possible.
In this way, lyu3 bu4 accepted the military order, with five hundred zhang army light cavalry waiting here. Using Zhang Chao’s words, this was the only way for Fan Chou to escape. As long as he stayed here, he might not let a single person go to complete the heavy task of annihilation.
At this moment, the sky had already begun to brighten. Although it was not said that one could clearly see people from a hundred meters away, one could at least see them from a very far distance.
Before the target arrived, Lyu bu couldn’t help but become anxious while riding on the Red Rabbit Horse. He knew that Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu’s abilities weren’t much worse than his own. Could it be that the three Tiger Generals had killed Fan Zhou? If that was the case, he wouldn’t be able to obtain any credit at all.
