Chapter 74

Fire camp

The peaks and mountains are densely covered with forests. When we stepped into the boundary of the Guanting, Wei Yan did not dare to be careless at all, but this natural environment was not conducive to the army. Twenty miles away, there was a military camp built beside the mountains in Jiangdong. Wei Yan saw that it was too late and ordered a camp on the spot.

Please remember

Because the Taiping Army had a battalion of 700 miles, Wei Yan, as the vanguard, had no idea of ​​any situation in the rear. The scouts of the Jiangdong Army's ground troops could not see the reason from a distance. They had to understand the Taiping Army's battalion from both ends, and the round trip time would be very long. From the beginning, Guo Jia wanted this time difference.

When the Taiping Army warships on the Yangtze River sailed to the mouth of the Yiling border, they would surely alarm Jiangdong. However, before that, Wei Yan's vanguard troops would induce Jiangdong to launch a decisive battle and make the time calculations so meticulously so detailed, thanks to the joint planning of Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Xi Zhicai and Qin Mi.

The sky became dark, and the entire army was on standby in the Jiangdong Army camp. Zhou Yu, as the commander, listened to the inquiry, and the scout came to report. Wei Yan led his army to set up camp and set up camp. The construction of the camp was made of local materials, using trees in the mountains and forests, without using soil and stones. This was simply a desperate situation.

In the commander's tent, all the generals were in high spirits and were waiting for Zhou Yu to give him the order, and they were like wild beasts coming out of the cage to devour the Taiping Army.

Zhou Yu arranged troops and arranged the formation calmly, then drew his sword and unsheathed it, and inspired the soldiers and said, "The generals obey orders. In this battle, we must kill all the Taiping Army!"

The generals held their fists and took the order, turned around and came out one after another.

Lu Meng and Lu Fan led 10,000 troops, Ding Fengling led 10,000 troops, these 20,000 troops, with turtle oil and archers, set off from both wings, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, three veterans led 50,000 troops to lead the army from the front, and Zhou Yu led the last 30,000 Jiangdong Army as support to adapt to the situation.

On the quiet night, only the sound of branches in the forest swaying across his ears. Wei Yan was thinking about what to do next. There was no doubt that he would enter a fierce battle next, but he had a premonition that the new army that Guo Jia asked him to train was actually a bait, but he couldn't figure out how to lure the enemy in detail.

Just as he was thinking, someone came in, it was Meng Huo.

"What are you doing?"

Wei Yan didn't understand why Meng Huo, who was supposed to be stationed in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong, appeared here, and Meng Huo didn't explain to him, throwing a piece of white silk in front of Wei Yan. Wei Yan reached out to catch it, and opened it and saw that cold sweat broke out from head to toe.

The tent was immediately released, and Wei Yan called all the lieutenants appointed by his subordinates to them and ordered them: the entire army raided the Jiangdong Army overnight!

These newly promoted lieutenants immediately turned around to set off for the army, and after Wei Yan turned back to the tent, he escaped at night under the cover of Meng Huo led a hundred Wudang Flying Army.

Just as the Taiping Army Pioneer Camp was hurrying to go to war, countless Mars suddenly passed by, from far to near, and flashed through the dark sky like rain.

Rocket!

The camp suddenly caught fire everywhere, and the Taiping Army was in chaos. However, because of the military orders in advance, the entire army was dispatched in a hurry and rushed straight ahead. Under the night, countless Jiangdong troops, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, appeared in the east, and three veterans were the first to enter the battlefield.

Lu Menglu Fan, Ding Fenglingtong led the archers to shoot arrows from both wings with rockets to ignite the Taiping Army's camp, and then ignite the trees in the mountains and forests.

The dense tiny lights connected into a circle after a brief period, and the spark instantly soared into the sky.

The smoke was rolling and the flames were surging. The broken trees in the mountains and forests rolled down with flames. The vanguard of the Taiping Army was completely trapped in a sea of ​​fire. The Jiangdong Army, who had been prepared, easily reaped lives in the face of the Taiping Army that fled in a hurry.

Lu Menglu Fan and Ding Fengling led the four generals to lead the army like two poisonous snakes on the dark night. The mountains and forests behind them were ignited, and they continued to go west, igniting all the nearby forests, and essentially burning the Taiping Army's barracks.

Behind them, Huang Gai Cheng Puhan was the three veterans who led their troops to invincible, rushing all the way, defeating the enemy head-on.

The enemy's army cannot be killed by the fire alone. The fire will make the enemy's army in chaos and cannot gather combat power, and allow the prepared Jiangdong army to easily break it.

The mission of Lu Meng and Ling Tong was very simple. They ignited the mountains and forests on both sides and cut off the Taiping Army's retreat. At the same time, they passed by the Taiping Army camp and used fire attacks to create chaos like the other barracks. The remaining task of killing the enemy was handed over to Huang Gai's main force.

They attacked from afar. They saw the enemy patrol outside the Taiping Army camp from a distance, and did not think too much, so they set off rockets to attack them. The camps were fired together, so they immediately advanced without stopping.

Huang Gai, Han Dang and Cheng Pu led their troops to kill the enemy, brave and fearless. The vanguard of 20,000 Taiping Army had all become their souls and continued to advance without stopping. Jiangdong wanted to annihilate the 200,000 Taiping Army in one go, but after coming to the Taiping Army Central Camp a hundred miles away, Huang Gai, who was still charging forward, led his army into the enemy camp, but his body and mind were shocked.

There were raging fires everywhere in the military camp, but Huang Gai could not see many enemy troops, or it was inconsistent with the intelligence of more than 100,000 yuan in the central army.

The camp tent had already caught fire, and it was impossible for enemy troops to stay inside and wait to be burned to death.

However, there were only a few hundred Taiping troops fighting against the Jiangdong Army in the camp. At first glance, they looked like a tiny ants, vulnerable.

"Where did the enemy go?"

Cheng Pu frowned and asked, and Han Dang was confused while gasping.

Huang Gai looked at the mountains and forests on both sides, and there was also a scene of fire covering the sky. The Taiping Army wanted to retreat, but it was impossible to retreat so quickly. If you want to escape, you would not jump into the sea of ​​fire. Listen carefully, there was no movement in the distance, but the only thing was the crackling sound of the fire burning.

He was shocked and Huang Gai blurted out: "Oh, I've been trapped!"

Huang Gai didn't know what trick he had or where the Taiping Army had gone, but there would be demons when things were impermanent. The current abnormal scene forced him to return first, for fear of changes in the rear.

Send people to stop Lu Meng and Ling Tong, and Huang Gai must make a quick decision, whether to continue killing or to force his troops back.

When the troops sent by Huang Gai caught up with Lu Meng and Ling Tong, the two of them felt incredible when they heard what was happening behind them.

In order to seek the truth, Lu Meng and Lu Fan personally led his army to approach the next Taiping Army camp.

"Shoot the arrow."

With Lu Meng's order, rockets cut through the sky and fell into the Taiping Army's barracks.

Seeing the riots coming from the military camp ahead, there was not much noise. Then some Taiping troops rushed out of the military camp and came to Lu Meng to fight.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Meng ordered the soldiers to rush to kill. In just a moment, hundreds of Taiping Army were killed on the spot. Then, Lu Meng saw that the enemy camp was flaming flames soaring into the sky, and there was no other movement.

Empty camp!

"Retreat quickly, the Grand Governor is in trouble!"

Lu Meng gritted his teeth and after being confirmed, he immediately led his army to retreat.

When the fire dragons that stretched hundreds of miles across the Yidao Yi Pavilion were raging, on the Yangtze River on the other side of the Yueshan Forest, the Taiping Army's warships slowly approached the entrance of the gorge at the boundary of the Yiting Pavilion.

Guo Jia, who was wearing armor, stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the night sky reflected by the fire in Yiling and the scenery covered with thick smoke as if it was covered with dark clouds.

Jia Xu, who was over 60 years old, stayed in the cabin. Pang Tong, who had been extremely courageous since childhood, still stayed beside Guo Jia with wide clothes and wide sleeves, without any worries about his life if the war breaks out.

"Shi Yuan."

Guo Jia called out softly, Pang Tong laughed a few times, moved behind Xiao Ren, and said, "You know, please hide, hide."

The river ahead is at the mouth of the Yangtze River Gorge in the border of the Qiting, where there are warships from Jiangdong and water villages on the shore.

Since the Taiping Army abandoned warships and landed in Zigui, Jiangdong confirmed the news and gave up the battlefield of the Yangtze River because they had few troops and had to concentrate their forces to fight this counterattack.

Guo Jia looked at the defense line of Jiangdong in the water village ahead and immediately ordered: "Destroy all warships in Jiangdong."

There were only less than two thousand people in the water camp in Jiangdong. If it weren't for Yiling's sky-covering fire illuminating the night, they would probably not have noticed the Taiping Army's dense warships attacked.

But even if I react, it's too late.

The Taiping Army's warship rushed straight to the water camp, and the sound of the sound resounded throughout the sky.

The pointed cone at the bow of the ship broke through the Jiangdong warship with sailing momentum. The Taiping Army fought on the side and destroyed all the Jiangdong warships in less than a moment, then swept away the obstacles and prepared to land.

Guo Jia called out to Guo Ye and ordered: "You lead 80,000 troops to go straight down the river and sweep away Jiangdong within two months."

Guo Ye held his fists and took the order, then boarded another warship, took a team of warships full of Taiping Army through the gorge, riding the wind and waves along the river.

Guo Ye took 80,000 troops to take Jianye first, and then stormed the six counties in Jiangdong in one go. Guo Jia only asked Guo Ye to bring young generals such as Wei Yan and Dianman. After all, all the troops and horses in Jiangdong were in Yiling, and Jianye where Sun Quan was located was empty and unobstructed.

The soldiers gradually landed, and the calm and orderly army quickly adjusted. According to Guo Jia's prior arrangement, the troops rushed one after another.

In order to prevent changes in the military camp of the Qiting Pavilion, Zhou Yu was waiting for the information ahead. The 20,000 vanguard of the enemy's vanguard had already made him seem to see victory, but then, a blood-stained soldier rushed into the commander's tent and knelt on one knee and said wailingly: "Grandmaster, the Xiakou Water Village was attacked, and the enemy is coming ashore."

Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were so shocked that they stood up, and Zhou Yu rushed to the soldier in a flash and asked, "Enemy? How many have they come?"

The soldier couldn't explain it clearly. Zhou Yu didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed out of the commander's tent and took 30,000 troops to the shore to investigate.

The shocked and suspicious Lu Xun led his horse and galloped eastward. Lu Xun was gritting his teeth at lightning. He felt that something was wrong. If an enemy army appeared on the river, then this might be the real murderous intent of the Taiping Army.

Yiling's battle situation has entered a stage of out of control, and it is the same as if he is present or not.

But now, if the Yangtze River falls, then Jiangdong will be in danger. He must go back and warn Sun Quan and mobilize some defensive forces to a greater or lesser extent.

When Zhou Yu led his army to the shore, he was shocked. The shore was brightly lit, and the Taiping Army was ready for battle. The torches illuminated his sight. Zhou Yu had already seen Guo Jia riding on his horse and looking at him.

"Gongjin, are you safe?"
