A single spark can start a prairie fire. In addition, the fire that night was deliberately set by someone, and the wind was extremely strong. After the soldiers and horses of Cao Tao's army burned the food and fodder of the camp, coupled with Qu Yi's planning and arrangement, in an instant
Then the endless Yuan camp on both sides of the east and west sides was burned.
Huge flames burned the entire company camp continuously.
Looking up, you can already see the fires in various camps, the billowing and ever-changing smoke, and the red spots from time to time behind the black mass.
Not far away, the exclamations one after another can already prove how frightening this sudden fire is. Occasionally, you can even hear some tragic wails. Maybe someone was accidentally burned by the fire, or maybe
Some people even failed to escape from the tent while they were sleeping and suffered disaster.
"Quick, hurry up, hurry up and put out the fire!" Yuan Shao finally managed to squeeze out such words from his mouth.
Yuan Shao had lost his usual graceful demeanor at this moment, and it was with great difficulty that he squeezed out such a sentence from his mouth. His panic expression was now expressive, and he was very moved.
"The generals and soldiers from various ministries have already gone, and all the manpower that the Chinese army can mobilize are already putting out the fire. It's just... it's just that the fire came too suddenly, and by now... I'm afraid..."
"It's over now, it's really over now." Yuan Shao said in despair. He had never felt such despair and helplessness.
When I was young, I saw him suddenly showing a ferocious look: "Cao Ah Ma, Tao Zidu, Yuan is going to crush your bones and spread them to ashes!"
"Kill!"
I don't know when, but from all directions, there suddenly came the continuous cry of killing. After the fire was ignited, the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao and the pottery merchants came to attack the stronghold one after another when Yuan Jun was too busy putting out the fire.
And their crossbowmen, who had been prepared long ago, began to fire rockets at each company camp point.
Continuous fire dragons roared and roared over Yuan's camp and flew to every corner. In the mountain forest five hundred steps away from Yuan's camp, Cao Cao and Tao Shang had secretly ambushed a Biao army here according to Qu Yi's instructions.
They saw that Yuan Jun's stronghold in front was on fire, and immediately lit the bushes in the forest in response.
As a result, in addition to the fire in the company camp where Yuan Jun was located, the second wall of fire also successfully cut off their retreat in the other direction.
Yuan Shao was shocked.
He didn't know how things suddenly turned out like this.
Victory seemed to be firmly grasped in his hand, how could it suddenly fly away again?
After the first batch of rockets hit the sky, Cao Cao personally went into battle and ordered his soldiers to attack the other camp with all their strength.
The generals under Tao Shang also led their troops to attack strategic points at the same time.
Cao Jun and Tao Jun sent out in full force this time. Almost all generals from all departments came out, including Cao Jun's clan Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and ordinary generals Dian Wei, Pang De, Yu Jin, and Li Dian.
, Yan Xing, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, Liu Xun, etc. all came out.
The lineup on the pottery side was also unambiguous. Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Taishi Ci, Xu Sheng, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Ji Ling and others were not left behind, and all the elite battalions were mobilized.
The campfire continued and the enemy troops arrived. Yuan Jun suffered a fatal blow in this battle.
It would have been impossible to save such a huge fire, but enemy troops came one after another.
Wen Chou brandished his sword and fought his way to Yuan Shao's side. He shouted to Yuan Shao: "General, I will protect you and fight out!"
Yuan Shao was already a little stupid at this moment. He stared blankly at the camp that could no longer be saved. Hearing the cries and shouts of death emanating from everywhere, he was speechless.
Pity the overwhelming army of hundreds of thousands. Once the zombies show their fighting spirit, the command system completely fails. "Boom!"
The fireball falling from the sky was thrown out of the camp in front, hitting not far from Yuan Shaozhong's military commander's tent, splashing sparks and dust. "No!" Yuan Jun's guard shouted: "Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariot is coming.
!”
For Yuan Jun's current situation, the arrival of the Thunderbolt Chariot has made things worse for them.
Wen Chou stamped his foot heavily and said angrily: "I can't care so much anymore, General. I'm sorry for offending you!"
After all, regardless of whether Yuan Shao was willing or not, he picked up Yuan Shao and ran over on his horse...
Among the rebellious troops, countless Yuan troops surrendered to Tao Jun or Cao Jun because of the flames.
But there are also some generals who know that they cannot surrender under any circumstances, or that they cannot surrender, so they can only fight desperately towards the outside of the stronghold.
Among them, Lieutenant General Zhang Yigong reported to Yuan Shao about the former betrayal of Qu Yi.
Zhang Yigong was not stupid. He understood deeply that after Qu Yi escaped from Yuan Shao's camp, he must have gone to seek refuge with Cao Cao or a pottery merchant.
However, he did not take this matter seriously at first. In his opinion, no matter how powerful the alliance between Cao Cao and Tao Shang was, they would never be Yuan Shao's opponent.
, after killing Qu Yi, his wealth and glory can be said to be at his fingertips.
It's a pity that things are impermanent and nothing is absolute. Cao Cao and Tao Shang taught Zhang Yigong a lesson with the gifts given by the action students.
Zhang Yigong had only had his sweet dream for a few days when a huge fire completely shattered his sad dream.
What Cao Tao burned was not only Yuan Shao's desire to be a hegemon, but also the greed of people like Zhang Yigong who were eager for promotion under Yuan Shao.
And not only that, they couldn't even save their own lives.
As Zhang Yigong and a group of his cronies were galloping, Qu Yi and Xu Rong's troops had already blocked their way. "Yes, is it you?"
Seeing Qu Yi's slightly ferocious expression under the firelight, Zhang Yigong couldn't help but exclaimed.
Qu Yi stared at Zhang Yigong with a dark smile and said calmly: "I know that according to Yuan Shao's character, after I was framed and falsely accused by you, he will definitely appoint you to replace me in charge of the army as a reward, hehe.
, that’s great! Qu is also worried that he can’t find you, so he only needs to look for the former Xianden camp! Zhang Yigong, you are about to die now, what do you want to say?”
Zhang Yigong was trembling all over. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Qu Yi, don't you dare to slander others. Who has trapped you! It's obviously you who are unfaithful and unjust to the Lord. You despicable and shameless villain, why don't you do it right?"
Get out of the way quickly!"
Qu Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Yigong's stern appearance.
When he had laughed enough, he turned his head and said to Xu Rong, who had been silent all this time: "General Xu, leave the people next to Zhang Yigong to you. I will take care of this person myself. Is it okay?"
Xu Rong didn't care much. He had come with Qu Yi this time. He could just do whatever Qu Yi told him.
But looking at Qu Yi's arrogant and proud attitude, Xu Rong felt unhappy no matter what.
What a villain.
However, his expression was covered by the bronze mask on his face, and Qu Yi couldn't see it. "Leave it on Xu, and Qu Gong will go and take revenge." Xu Rong's tone was calm.
Qu Yi was not very happy with Xu Rong's tone, but he didn't say anything to Xu Rong, and rode his horse straight towards Zhang Yigong. Xu Rong, on the other hand, led a group of Taishan troops to kill Zhang Yigong's men.
