The forest near the battlefield was ignited. The fire was small at first, but with the wind of the fire battle, it began to gradually expand.

Forest fires were difficult to contain for ancient people. After all, there was no professional fire-fighting technology at that time. When forest fires caught fire, they could only let it extinguish naturally due to the weather, which had a huge impact on nature.

However, ancient people did not know how to protect the natural environment and set fire to the mountains to expand cultivated land. It was commonplace for them.

The powerful fire turned the sky red, and the soldiers present could vaguely see the situation clearly with the strong light.

Gan Ning, who was leading his men to fight in the enemy formation, grinned when he saw the fiery red light in the sky.

He laughed and said: "Hey, this is not good, it has been exposed... It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, evacuate quickly!"

The cavalryman behind Gan Ning blew his horn, making a short but extremely clear sound.

The cavalrymen seemed to have been prepared. They suddenly turned their horses' heads and quickly evacuated to the rear with Gan Ning.

Gan Ning held a long sword and led the way. As he retreated backwards, he kept slashing and killing the enemy soldiers beside him. Along the way, he killed and wounded no less than twenty people.

And the group of cavalry behind him also followed Gan Ning in a swarm and flew away. They did not stay with the opponent for a long time, but just cleared away the enemy soldiers along the way. The group of people and horses headed west at an extremely fast speed.

withdraw.

After setting fire to the forest, although the brightness was sufficient, the situation on the field became more chaotic. The mountain fire spread quickly, and these flames would cause a fatal blow to the human body. Therefore, the Xiliang Army and Yuan Army did not

Instead of chasing Gan Ning and his group, they quickly retreated towards a safe place.

While Jushou fled with the guards, he asked the guards around him: "How many people are there in the Jingzhou army? Can you see clearly?"

The guard shook his head and said: "The enemy soldiers and horses came and left quickly. They all evacuated as soon as the fire started. We can't see how many there are."

Jushou couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart when he heard this, and an unpleasant thought suddenly came to his mind.

At this moment, Guo Bang was seen rushing towards the direction of Jushou and said to him: "Mr. Ju, the enemy's cavalry has retreated!"

"How many are there?" Jushou asked hurriedly.

Guo Bang shook his head subconsciously and said: "The sky just now was too dark to see clearly. When you burn the mountain fire here, you can see clearly, but they can run faster than a mouse!

It’s not clear at all!”

Jushou asked: "Are they many in number?"

Guo Bang said curiously: "After Mr. reminded me, I remembered that I really didn't see how many people there were on the other side... It is said that Liu Qi seemed to have led thousands of cavalry this time, but after the fire started, I vaguely saw

The opponent's condition when they withdrew seems to be that of Qian Yuqi, but it may be because it was too dark and I haven't seen it clearly yet."

There was a wry smile on Jushou's lips, and he said: "Liu Boyu is indeed a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Once he is tricked by me, he must pay it back immediately... We have fallen into the trap, so we must quickly withdraw our troops and return to the hometown pavilion."

"Fell into a trap?" Guo Bang said with a confused look on his face: "What do you mean?"

"He used a small number of troops to attract our attention, and turned most of the cavalry to our rear... As I expected, he must have returned to the Xiangting Central District where he had just stationed troops, and made a surprise attack on our troops stationed there.

, Haha, this young man really has nothing to lose."

…

In fact, Jushou's guess was correct. When Liu Qi evacuated the Xiangting in panic, he was already thinking about how to fight back.

Due to his negligence beforehand, he was not sure that Jushou would change his ambush into a surprise attack, allowing the other party to stage a plan. However, he quickly calmed down and carefully considered what he should do next.

In the end, he decided to divide his troops into two groups, sending Gan Ning alone to lead two thousand cavalry along the way, using the cover of night to harass the pursuing main force. In addition, he detoured the main five thousand troops back to the Xiangting Pavilion through the road to make a surprise attack.

Ju taught the infantry team left there.

Because Liu Qi estimated that in order to be able to pursue him lightly, Jushu would definitely leave most of the infantry behind and use the cavalry as the main force to pursue him.

Although he did guess correctly, there was indeed a huge risk in doing so.

First of all, the number of two thousand cavalry left to restrain the enemy's main force was too small. If they were not careful, they would be surrounded and completely annihilated by the opponent. This risk was very high.

But fortunately, it was dark and the cavalry was highly mobile, which gave these cavalry a cover.

Therefore, Liu Qi chose Gan Ning, who was good at taking risks but could also handle advances and retreats at critical moments.

The heroic figure who robbed Cao's camp with hundreds of horses fully utilized his advantages in today's battle.

Gan Ning concentrated his troops without fighting as his main purpose. He just let two thousand cavalry follow him around the enemy formation, and followed him with the sound of the horn as a signal, so that most of the people could not get separated, although there were losses in the process.

He lost some troops, but judging from the final results, Gan Ning was undoubtedly successful.

Because of the cover of the sky, the Xiliang army was in chaos due to Gan Ning's harassment. The number of casualties caused by our own sides trampling on each other far exceeded the damage Gan Ning caused to them. This was something they did not expect at all.

Of course, Gan Ning also grasped the situation very well. When Jushu ordered to set fire to the forest to obtain a light source, Gan Ning immediately issued the order to retreat.

Liu Qi and the remaining generals took advantage of this gap and quickly turned back to kill the enemy infantry.

…

The Xiliang Army, who were counting the supplies left by the Jingzhou Army in the pavilion, never expected that the Jingzhou cavalry would come back at this moment.

Although there are only 5,000 people, the lineup of leading generals has to be said to be truly luxurious...

Dian Wei held two iron halberds and rushed into the countryside. Before the enemy infantry could react, he took the lead and rushed into the enemy's formation, causing a bloody storm and greatly damaging the enemy's morale.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

As Dian Wei rushed into the formation, the rest of the generals including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Pang De and other generals also rushed into the Xiang Pavilion.

Any one of these people selected at random is a powerful general who can intimidate a party, but now that they all appear here, the effect they bring can be imagined.

Guan Yu's Green Dragon Sword is invincible when opened or closed, and no one can stop it.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's spears and spears were like dragons sailing out of the sea, killing people wherever they went.

Zhang Liao and Pang De are also the best among the fierce generals. Wherever the two swords go, there are few men under their command who can match them.

With these people as pioneers and guides, the morale of Jingzhou's cavalry greatly increased, and the attack momentum was unstoppable.

Morale usually represents combat power. Under the leadership of these fierce generals, the Jingzhou Army can defeat ten.

In just an instant, hundreds of Xiliang Army's infantry were knocked down by Jingzhou Army.

"Fire arrows! The opponents are all cavalry. You can't stop them by force! Shoot them with arrows!" General Wang Fang of the Xiliang Army shouted desperately at his men.

The soldiers reacted quickly and followed Wang Fang's instructions to release arrows to kill Jingzhou's cavalry.

There were many torches in the pavilion at the moment. Although the sight was not as good as in the daytime, it could barely be seen clearly. Therefore, these arrow rains had a certain impact on the Jingzhou cavalry. Many cavalry were caught off guard and fell off their horses.

But at this moment, a fierce cavalry riding on the bow battalion commanded by Wang Fang personally stopped and took advantage of the gap to come to him after the first wave of arrow rain stopped.

The leading general cut through the waves, rode up to Wang Fang, raised his sword high, and slashed at his heavenly spirit.

After Wang Fang saw Zhang Liao's appearance through the firelight, he just subconsciously said: "It's you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liao in front of him split into two halves in the middle and fell to both sides.
