As soon as Guan Hai left, less than a quarter of an hour later, the Yellow Turban Army waiting at the spot suddenly noticed the sudden burst of fire around them, followed by arrows that shot through the air. They were leaderless in the dark night and were immediately panicked. Hundreds of people responded.
The string fell down, and the others all moved closer to each other tremblingly.
Under the illumination of the fire, these yellow scarf thieves realized that they were in a hollow valley, like a basin, with people standing on the surrounding highlands, surrounding them all.
"You have been surrounded. Those who know how to do it should drop their weapons and surrender immediately!" Lu Heng squeezed out from the crowd, holding a long gun, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
The yellow scarf thieves in the valley looked at each other. Hundreds of them wanted to resist and rushed forward with weapons in their hands. But before they could take five steps forward, arrows shot through their hearts and lungs, and they fell to the ground dying.
Already.
At this time, Guan Hai showed his face, stood with Lu Heng, and shouted at the yellow scarf soldiers below: "Hurry up, put down your weapons, I have already surrendered to the officers and soldiers, let alone you? Surrender to avoid death,
Don’t struggle in vain!”
The Yellow Turban thieves looked at each other in shock. Seeing that there was little chance of rushing out, and seeing that generals like Guan Hai had surrendered, they dropped their weapons one after another and expressed their willingness to surrender.
Seeing that all the Yellow Turban thieves had surrendered, Lu Heng was overjoyed and immediately asked his soldiers to go down and collect their weapons and push the surrendered thieves aside. He turned around and saw Guan Hai was the only one, so he asked: "Guan Hai
Brother, where is Zhou Cang?"
Guan Hai said: "The situation has changed, Zhou Cang stayed in the city. However, don't worry, there is no need to attack Quyang City anymore. At this time, it is estimated that it has been taken over by Zhou Cang. In which direction is your Excellency, I must
Go and inform your lord that Zhang Bao has not gone to the west."
Lu Hengdao: "What's wrong, my lord, if you go east again, won't Zhang Bao's head fall into the hands of Zhang Fei?"
Guan Hai hurriedly asked: "Is Zhang Fei in the west?"
"Yes, Zhang Fei is in the west, Guan Yu is in the south, Liu Bei and my lord are in the east. You quickly go and inform my lord, leave the affairs here to me, and I will set the fire in a moment!" Lu Heng said hurriedly.
Guan Hai said: "This credit cannot come cheap to Zhang Fei. I will go find the master right now!"
As soon as the words fell, Guan Hai immediately galloped into the hillside behind him, turned over and mounted his horse, patted the horse and walked towards the east where Gao Fei was.
Gao Fei and Liu Bei each led an army of 2,500 people, staggered and ambushed on a sand beam. When they saw about 20,000 Yellow Turban troops passing under the sand beam, they did not take action.
All 20,000 Yellow Turban troops were released.
"Sir, why don't you take action now?" Fei An, who was beside Gao Fei, asked in a low voice.
Gao Fei shook his head and said: "There are many thieves and they haven't really entered the ambush site yet. If we launch an attack here first, I'm afraid Guan Yu's troops in the south will be useless. Wait a minute."
Fei An said: "My lord, I don't understand, why must Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei win the battle? I can see that these three brothers are not of the same mind as your lord."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "You don't understand. If you want to take it, you must first take it. Although the three of them are not of the same mind as me for the time being, they have been in the Han army for many days and have not made any achievements. I can only do it first."
Let them taste the sweetness and give them some merit, so that they will not say that I want to take the credit alone, and then slowly use it for my own use in the future."
Fei An gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Excellency is really smart, and my subordinates admire you."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "You work well under me and I won't treat you badly in the future."
Fei An said: "I am loyal to you with all my heart, and I will never dare to have any second thoughts."
Gao Fei gently patted Fei An on the shoulder and said nothing. Instead, he looked up at the night sky and saw that there was no moon in the night sky and it was dotted with stars. It was really a beautiful night. He estimated the time and waited for the Yellow Turban Army.
When he was far away, he said to Fei An: "Go and call Liu Bei!"
Feian said "Promise" and ran out quickly.
Not long after, Liu Bei came back with Fei An, and the two of them bowed together: "See you, sir!"
Gao Fei said: "No courtesy. Brother Xuande, if my estimate is correct, the matter on Lu Heng's side has been solved. As soon as the fire breaks out, you and I will lead our troops to fight out from both sides of the Yellow Turban Army.
Brother Yun Chang and Brother Yide are both enemies of ten thousand people. I have nothing to worry about on their side. It’s just that our place is the escape route for the Yellow Turban thieves. We must take strict precautions and not let go of any soldier. Otherwise, they will attack again.
If we rush back to the city, we will have to go through a lot of trouble again."
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "I understand. Sir, it's almost time now. I think we should touch it quietly, right?"
Gao Fei nodded, but before he could speak, he heard Guan Hai asking the soldiers on the side in a low voice, shouting: "Where is your lord?"
"I'm here!" Goofy responded.
Guan Hai followed the voice and walked over. He saw Gao Fei and Liu Bei together in the night. He opened his mouth and closed it immediately, swallowing what he wanted to say. He held it in for a long time.
Then he shouted: "Sir, the situation has changed..."
When Gao Fei heard this, he quickly interrupted Guan Hai and asked, "What's going on? Is it because Zhang Bao didn't come out?"
Guan Hai said: "I came out, but the plan changed slightly. Zhou Cang did not come out, but stayed in the city..."
Before Guan Hai finished speaking, Gao Fei sighed heavily and said, "It seems that if Zhang Bao is defeated, we can't take advantage of the victory to attack Quyang."
"Sir, there is no need to attack Xia Quyang. Although the situation has changed, it has changed in a good direction. I am afraid that everyone in Xia Quyang City has surrendered to you now." Guan Hai hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Such a good thing? It seems that you and Zhou Cang are really capable. They can actually instigate so many people to rebel!"
"My lord, I don't dare to take credit. All this is Liao Hua's plan. He had long wanted to surrender to the army, so he took the initiative to contact me and Zhou Cang, and we put on a good show together. My lord, I am here to tell you."
Regarding this matter, you can kill the enemy with confidence, even if a fish slips through the net and returns to Xiaquyang, it will definitely be caught by Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and the others."
"Liao Hua? Haha, he is another good man. After I kill Zhang Bao, I will definitely meet him in person. By the way, which direction did Zhang Bao go?"
Guan Hai pointed to the west and said: "Go and burn the grain and grass."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "That's fine. Brother Yide from the province complained that I couldn't kill Zhang Bao. If that's the case, then let Brother Yide kill Zhang Bao. Guan Hai, you can stay here."
Here, we will need brave generals like you to stop the bandits."
Seeing that Gao Fei seemed to intend to give Zhang Bao to Zhang Fei, Guan Hai glanced at the expressionless Liu Bei and secretly guessed: "Is it possible that you want to take this opportunity to bribe Liu Bei and others?"
He leaned forward and replied: "Yes, sir, I obey your orders!"
After waiting for a while, I saw a huge fire coming from the due north direction on Niutou Ridge, which was particularly dazzling in such a night. Immediately afterwards, shouts broke out from the east and south of the Niutou Ridge camp, and 20,000 yellow turban soldiers raised their hands.
The weapons rushed to the camp quickly. When they arrived at the camp, Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng met, they saw the fire from the north blocking the gate, but they did not see a yellow scarf soldier. They looked around blankly and did not see a Han soldier.
, I was panicking, and before I could react, I suddenly heard loud shouts from behind, and thousands of officers and soldiers emerged from the night.
"Oops! We've fallen into a trap! Get back!" Gao Sheng shouted and immediately ordered his men to exit the camp.
A wall of fire suddenly ignited from outside the camp. The blazing flames blocked the return path of the Yellow Turban Army. The officers and soldiers behind the wall of fire also held torches and stood ready outside the camp, followed by countless rockets carrying sparks.
Arrows fell from the sky and shot into the straw men who had been pitched in the camp, as well as the simple tents in the camp. The flammable objects immediately caught fire and quickly gathered into a ball, forming raging fire dragons.
spread out.
The fire spread rapidly, causing the 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves who rushed into the camp to fall into chaos and scramble to escape. However, as soon as they reached the wall of fire, they were shot through the body by ruthless arrows and fell to the ground where blood and fire intertwined.
place, allowing the wildly spreading fire to burn their bodies.
"Don't mess up! Don't mess up, come with me and fight out!" Gao Sheng stabilized his fifty cavalry and five hundred infantry, and tried to control the entire chaotic scene, so he shouted loudly.
But the situation was out of control, and the desire to survive had taken root in everyone's heart. When they heard the Han army outside the fire wall shouting the slogan "surrender and avoid death", they all dropped their weapons and shouted loudly: "
I am willing to surrender." He quickly ran out of the fire.
"General Gao, the situation is over. Why don't you lead your troops and rush out, and you can regain your strength after returning to Xiaquyang!" Yan Zheng led hundreds of infantry to find Gao Sheng in the chaos and said loudly.
Gao Sheng nodded, looked at the situation that was out of control, and said loudly: "Come with me!"
After giving the order, Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng joined forces. Seeing that the fire in the south was smaller, they rushed out with their troops. As soon as they rushed out, they felt strange that there was no one blocking them. They thought
It was the Han army that had appeared. I couldn't help but feel happy when I heard the sound of horse hooves in front of me. The first horse galloped out in the night. The man on the horse was Guan Yu.
"Guan has been waiting for you for a long time!" Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in one hand and stroked his long beard with the other. His narrowed red and phoenix eyes slowly opened, and two fascinating rays of light shot out from his eyes.
Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng looked at each other, clapped their horses together, and rushed towards Guan Yu with weapons in their hands.
Guan Yu yelled "drive" and rode out, passing quickly between Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng. He saw the cold light of the Qinglong Yanyue Saber flashing in front of Gao Sheng, and Gao Sheng's head immediately fell to the ground. At the same time, Guan Yu
He drew out the sword from his waist with his left hand, turned his body slightly to one side, and after dodging the spear thrust by Yan Zheng, he raised the sword and dropped it, and the same human head fell to the ground.
When the Yellow Turban thieves saw Guan Yu's majestic appearance and saw Gao Sheng again, Yan Zheng was dead, they were frightened. They immediately dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging loudly for mercy.
