Chapter 403: Dark Moon and Stormy Night
Dingtao.
The camp of the Yellow Turban bandits was stationed here, guarding the grain and grass looted from the whole Yanzhou.
Food and grass are related to the fate of the Yellow Turban Army, so Xu He attaches great importance to Dingtao camp. The guard general is Xu He's younger brother Xu Dun. Although Dingtao is located in Yanzhou, Xu He still allocates 10,000 troops to him .
"Come, come, drink up this cup!"
Xu Dun raised the wine bar in his hand and laughed, while many generals on the left and right were all smiling, and they all raised the wine bar in their hands to drink with Xu Dun.
"Everyone, elder brother is besieging Liu Ye in Suanzao City. It has been more than a month now, and the Suanzao City must be broken very close at hand. Liu Ye's troops are the main force of the Han army. When Suanzao City is broken, elder brother invades Luoyang and abolishes the little emperor. "Xu Dun chuckled: "When my eldest brother becomes the emperor, I can also be named a prince. You are all heroes of the founding of the country."
All the generals cheered when they heard Xu Dun's words.
A thin general stood up and said: "The villain first toasts the prince!"
When Xu Dun heard this, his face became even more excited: "Okay, it's done!"
"Xiaoshuai, before leaving, the commander-in-chief told you to take strict precautions against food and grass. How about this wine tonight?" However, one of the generals made a strange sound, and Xu Dun's face darkened.
"The Dingtao camp is heavily guarded, and Liu Ye's main force is dragged by the eldest brother in Suanzao City, so what's the danger?"
Xu Dun snorted impatiently, and muttered, "Disappointing."
At this time, the Dingtao camp was brightly lit, and it was very lively when you came and went. At the same time, a group of uninvited guests ushered in outside Dingtao camp.
"This is the Dingtao granary?" Zhang Jai looked up at the high pile of grain and grass in front of him, and said with emotion.
"General Zhang, it is Xu and his younger brother Xu Dun who are stationed at Dingtao Daying Camp. This man is brave but not resourceful." Zhou Shen respectfully said to Zhang Jaw.
Zhang Jai nodded, and ordered: "All armies, prepare rockets. When the night is ugly, they will cover the enemy camp with rockets and disturb the enemy army. Then the iron cavalry will break through the Chinese army, capture and kill Xu Dun, and burn the food and grass!"
"promise!"
The two thousand cavalry hid in the darkness, and did not launch an attack immediately, but stayed silent, waiting for the opportunity.
At the beginning of the ugly time.
"Ah..." the patrolling yellow turban soldier yawned and looked around boredly for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he ran to the haystack of a tent, lay down on it, and moved a few times to find a comfortable position.
"Anyway, it's nothing, it's better to sleep."
When Xu He broke through Yanzhou, Dingtao's yellow turbans were very lax, so the patrolling yellow turbans also comfortably beat a ton.
However, suddenly, the sleeping yellow scarf thief only heard a swishing sound next to his ears, and opened his eyes immediately, but he couldn't help being taken aback.
I saw thousands of rockets suddenly falling from the sky, like thousands of meteors falling from the sky, falling down with flames attached, which is quite spectacular.
Some rockets landed on the tents, and immediately set the tents on fire. The clothes of the yellow turban thieves in the tent were even burned. Countless sleeping yellow turban thieves woke up from their dreams, not knowing what happened.
And the most frightening thing is that some rockets fell into the pile of grain and hay by accident.
boom!
The grain and grass in the army are convenient to store, and they are naturally dried. They are originally good combustibles, but when they are touched by the rocket, they immediately burn violently.
The blazing flames jumped three feet high, and for a while, the yellow turban camp was full of flames, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose, and the yellow turban camp seemed to become a world of fire.
"The Han army attacked the camp!"
"The grain and grass are burning, put out the fire!"
Thousands of yellow scarf thieves in the camp were awakened suddenly, shouted loudly in the camp, ran around, and fell into chaos.
"Break the Yellow Turban, kill Xu Dun!"
All of a sudden, there was a violent shout of killing from outside the camp, and there was a muffled sound in the darkness, as if a sleeping monster quietly woke up, its huge heart beating slowly.
In the flames of burning grain and grass, the figure of this "giant beast" finally appeared, and two thousand cavalry came in from the outside.
The yellow turban thief fell into chaos because of the burning of food and grass. Before he could react, the two thousand cavalry of the Han army easily killed them.
"Oh my god, how did the Han army come in?"
"Isn't Liu Ye far away from Suanzao? Why did he suddenly come to Dingtao?"
"Isn't this the shrinking of the ground in the magic? He can also use the magic, just like the great virtuous teacher back then."
Zhang Jai led the iron cavalry to raid the Dingtao camp, and the yellow turban soldiers in the camp were stunned. Isn't the Han army still in Suanzao City? Why did they appear in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Jai led two thousand iron cavalry to attack, causing the Yellow Turban Thieves to fall into chaos, shouting and running around, unable to organize effective resistance, so the Han army was free and easy, taking advantage of it.
"Don't waste time, go straight to the Zhongjun, kill Xu Dun first."
In the tent of the Chinese army, there was a sound of snoring, but it was Xu Dun who took off his clothes and fell asleep naked in the camp after getting drunk. Because Xu Dun's tent is among the thousands of troops, it has not been affected by the flames of war for the time being.
"Xu Shuai, Xu Shuai!"
A burst of eager shouts suddenly sounded, Xu Dun frowned, but he was still asleep. In the dream, the eldest brother Xu He defeated Liu Ye and became the emperor, and he was named the king of the princes, rich as the enemy, three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right, very happy.
"Little beauty, come here for a fragrance." Xu Dun was about to kiss the concubine in his arms, but the concubine's delicate and flowery face suddenly turned into a hideous one.
"Xu Shuai, wake up!"
"ah!"
Xu Dun sat up suddenly, cold sweat covered his bare chest.
"Xu Shuai, Liu Yuqing used the magic of shrinking the ground to an inch, and sent the heavenly soldiers to attack the camp. Now the army in the camp is in a panic. Please Xu Shuai go out to command and dispatch!"
Lai Jiang said anxiously.
"fart!"
Xu Dun was furious all of a sudden, what shrinks the ground into an inch? The so-called magical spells and talisman water can cure diseases are just lies, used to deceive ordinary working people. His elder brother Xu He is one of the thirty-six disciples personally taught by Zhang Jiao, so he naturally knows these spells like the back of his hand. , so Xu Dun also knows.
If Zhang Jiao really knew magic, he was besieged in Guangzong City by Lu Zhi's troops back then, why didn't he call the yellow scarf warriors to rescue him?
The general said anxiously: "But there are really countless enemy troops. Now the camp is on fire, and everyone has no leader. Please Xu Shuai come out to command."
Camp fire?
Xu Dun was so drowsy that he suddenly lost nine points, and suddenly woke up.
It is self-evident what this batch of food and grass means. It can be said that it is the lifeblood of the Yellow Turban Thieves. If they are all burned, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Put on your armor, get my sword!"
The left and right soldiers immediately went forward, surrounded Xu Dun from left to right, put on iron armor for him, and handed him a heavy ring-sword.
