Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 97
In Anfeng County, Cao Jun soldiers put aside their knives and guns, and leaned against the front and back of the house to rest in twos and threes.

This road rushed from Xuchang to Anfeng County in a hurry, and today they were ambushed by the Liu family in the valley and outside the city one after another, causing a high level of mental tension. At this moment, they were exhausted.

The sun was setting, and finally had a mouthful of hot food, and the soldiers started gobbling it up one by one.

After a storm, the soldiers who were full sat back and leaned back to the front and back of the house, feeling very relaxed.

The night was shrouded, and outside the city where you couldn't see your fingers, Liu Bei slowly approached Anfeng City with a group of crossbowmen.

At the foot of the city, a sergeant lifted the lid of the tung oil altar and poured it along the army formation.

Afterwards, the two flints were struck continuously, and after a short while, a tongue of flame sprang up. The crossbowmen put the bows and arrows in their hands on the fire, ignited the tinder on the arrows, and shot into the city one after another.

In fact, the arrows of the crossbowmen would normally not be able to hit the city gates, but during Yuan Shu's entrenched period, after several wars, Anfeng's eaves and walls were already ruined, and the city walls were destroyed in many places. live rocket.

This kind of rocket is not only on Liu Bei's side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu each led a team to shoot arrows at the four gates.

After the rockets flew into the city, many of them landed on dilapidated houses. Liu Beijun had buried saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur on the roofs of these houses in advance. After encountering the rockets, they spread rapidly.

"General, someone shot rockets outside the city, those houses should have been buried with fire starters, and now all four doors are on fire!"

After all, Anfeng County is a county seat. In its glory days, there were hundreds of thousands of people living here. Of course, it is impossible for Liu Bei to burn down a city of this size with a few rockets.

Therefore, when the sergeant ran to Xiahou Dun to report, the fire had just started.

However, houses in this era are all built next to each other, and sooner or later they will spread in regardless of whether they are ignored.

Xiahoudun looked around, and finally realized that Liu Bei's pretending to delay time during the day was actually to trick himself into Anfeng City.

Vicious intentions ah.

Unfortunately, there are brains, but not many.

Just relying on this ignition alone can burn down the entire city.

Xiahou Dun immediately summoned the soldiers to evacuate. In order to prevent crowding due to the large number of people when fleeing, he divided the trilogy into two parts, and he and Cao Chun each brought one part.

"General, what about the food and supplies?" It's not that Cai Yang is brainless, it's that the food is the lifeline of an army, if it is lost, it's good to find a large army to join, if you can't find it, it is very likely that you will be entangled by the other party and starve to death on the battlefield.

"Don't worry about so much, just rush out of the city and meet Sikong Hui!" Xiahou Dun ordered decisively.

Then the evacuation began.

The first half was okay, but a pungent smell could be smelled from a distance. When they reached the outer city, it was already a sea of ​​flames. They rushed through the streets between the houses on both sides.

A strange scene appeared, a gust of wind blew and directly fell a group of people.

"Not good! There is poisonous fog!" Xiahou Dun knew something was wrong at the moment. Liu Bei must have mixed poison into the firelighter. No wonder the smell just now was so pungent.

He took the lead covering his mouth and nose, and galloped out on his horse.

The soldiers followed suit one after another, but many people still fell on the way to escape.

Even the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry were not spared.

When they rushed to the gate of the city, the number of people was reduced by nearly half. What made Xiahou Dun's heart ache was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which lost a third.

Damn the big-eared thief, it turned out that his real purpose was not to burn the city, but to force us to faint with poisonous fog when we left the city. Those who fell in the city could only be buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Looking back at the sergeants who were charred but indifferent and the horses crashing around in the sea of ​​flames, Xiahou Dun felt a sense of humiliation.

As an honorable member of the Cao Clan's Legion, the existence of Pioneer Dazhuo was forced into such a situation by the desperate Liu Bei today.

What a shame, what a shame!

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh~
Before Xiahou Dun could finish cursing Liu Bei in his heart, a rain of arrows shot straight at him, and the sergeant who rushed to the front fell down, even his own mount was shot over.

"Shield soldiers, line up!"

Xiahou Dun hurriedly got up and grabbed his spear and shouted loudly. Now it was no longer a question of shame or not, but a question of whether he could rush out alive.

Although the entourage is all elite, but when they were exhausted, they were attacked by fire and poison, and now they are facing the Liu family blocking the only exit, and the morale of the army will inevitably waver.

Winning the many with the few, and defeating the strong with the weak, has always been a model worthy of being famous in the book. As a general of the army, everyone hopes to have such a day.

The same goes for Xiahou Dun.

It's just that I didn't expect that when such a day came, I would become a negative example.

"Brothers, there is no way out behind us, the net is broken, come out with me!"

The grief and indignation reached the extreme, Xia Houdun no longer cared about preserving his vitality, being a famous teacher or general, the best choice was to survive.

He picked up a shield in his left hand to block the front, and clenched his spear in his right hand, shouting the name of 'Xiahou Yuanrang' while rushing out desperately.

At this moment, the will to survive in the desperate situation and the general's fearlessness of death all made their blood boil, and shouts came from the depths of their hearts, and they quickly followed Xiahou Dun's footsteps.

The dense rain of arrows hit the shield, making a muffled sound, and the crossbowmen behind them were also fighting back vigorously.

Finally, they made a bloody road and stuck up the crossbowmen, but they were greeted by the cavalry led by Zhang Fei.

"Tiger and leopard ride!!!"

In the roar of Xiahou Dun, the tiger and leopard galloped out on horseback. Facing Zhang Fei who was in ambush, they were not afraid. They divided the troops tacitly, some chased and killed the crossbowmen, and some entangled with the cavalry led by Zhang Fei, at the cost of their lives. Buy time for Xiahou Dun to escape with his infantry.

Seeing the fish in the net escape, Zhang Fei yelled angrily, swung the Zhangba Snake Spear and stabbed them out in a daze.

The fierce force easily penetrated the body of a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The victim was salivating with blood, but he held on to the spear tightly, and the two cavalry on the left and right took advantage of the situation to stab Zhang Fei with the spear.

With astonishing strength, Zhang Fei picked up the whole cavalryman, flung it aside, knocked down another cavalryman, and barely retracted his spear to block it.

The gap opened by the fearless Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be filled immediately.

Rao is a strong general like Zhang Fei, and he can't break through the encirclement of tiger and leopard cavalry for a while.

Even if the enemy is like this, let alone the accompanying cavalry, they obviously came to ambush, but they were smashed by the tiger and leopard cavalry rushing out of the flames, and there was no way to form an effective attack.

It wasn't until their pawns were completely far away that they quickly broke away from contact, and quickly left Anfeng County with the high mobility of their horses.

Zhang Fei looked around. There were not many crossbowmen standing, and more than 100 cavalry were lost.

Damn it, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his beard and hair swelled with anger.

After a rough count, only more than 100 tiger and leopard riders were killed. It sounds like a one-for-one ratio, but they came to ambush. They came after the opponent encountered fire attack, poison attack and arrow rain The move of the hand turned out to be a [-]-[-] split, which is unacceptable.

If it weren't for the fire in the city that startled their mounts, Zhang Fei really didn't doubt that the people on the other side would have eaten up all the people they brought him.

Zhang Fei spat unwillingly. No matter what, he finally completed the task. He just thought that if they meet again on the battlefield next time, he would be really sweating for the brothers.

When Zhang Fei led people to find Liu Bei, Guan Yu was holding Cai Yang's head and threw it over, "Let Cao Chun run away. The cavalry he brought is not simple. Every time they rushed towards Cao Chun, they blocked them."

"No, I almost fell into their trap." Zhang Fei took it seriously.

The two were discussing that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry seemed to be stronger than Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army that they had seen at the Hulao Pass, overpowering Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, but Liu Bei was out of his mind, looking straight to the east, his eyes Also a little hollow.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Guan Yu's words brought Liu Bei back to his senses, and he sighed deeply, "I never thought that this person in Pengcheng would allow us to defeat Cao Jun's most elite vanguard with a weak army, and plan a strategy to win thousands of miles. Other than that."

After saying a word with emotion, Liu Bei only felt depressed and hard to calm down, as if he was holding his breath, forcing him to shout out: "It's really a genius of heaven, a genius of heaven!".

Regarding Lin Mo's deeds, I heard Cao Cao talk about it in Xuchang, and I was very impressed at the time. After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was just a kind of admiration.

But now, with his clever tricks, he was able to repel Xiahoudun's troops head-on. The shock of being in it and directly benefiting from it caused a storm in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down.

With the help of such a monstrous young man, why is it any wonder that Lu Bu set foot on two prefectures and took three counties lightly?

Therefore, Zhang Liao could just send a bunch of military supplies and leave with peace of mind. With this one person around, he could stop an army of [-].

but
but
Why did such a wizard become Lu Bu's son-in-law!

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the moth thief only got a county magistrate, and he didn't complain; Lu Bu attacked his Xuzhou, causing himself to be displaced, and he didn't complain;

But today, I felt unwilling for no reason.

Such a genius, if he assisted me, why would I be in such a mess today.

"Big brother."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood beside Liu Bei, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

They all understand that Liu Bei's cry is a sense of powerlessness for the future.

After all, Lin Mo is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and today's proposal is likely to be the only time he helps out, and An Neng is not regrettable.

After a long time, Liu Bei waved his hand and said in a muffled voice, "According to Yunwen's order, retreat to Ankou County, forty miles away, to station."

Yunwen?

The two brothers looked at each other, and from the change in Liu Bei's address, they both heard that it was elusive.

Yes, who would not desire such a person.

For a long time in the past, they were more willing to believe that Lin Mo was just a myth. Today, their gains and their victory in crushing the level have all confirmed a fact.

Lin Mo, without being mythical, he stood in the crowd, glowing, glowing, so dazzling.

Obviously not seen before, but it seems to be reunited after a long absence.

It is a pity that his light, his enthusiasm and his story only belong to Lu Bu, not to our three brothers.
