The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 280 Zhou Yu Burned Xiahou Dun

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai led [-] cavalry all the way to the vicinity of Fengshan, and deployed all the [-] troops in the precipitous place of Fengshan.

On the hillsides on both sides, more than [-] elite infantrymen were ambushed, hiding among the grass. As for thousands of elite cavalry, led by Zhao Yun, they were ambushing behind Fengshan, waiting to attack.

Just one day later, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian led [-] troops to the foot of Fengshan Mountain and galloped along the official road towards Langya County. At the front was Li Dian, who was angrily reprimanded by Xiahou Dun.

Li Dian led three or four thousand cavalry to open the way ahead, and he had already entered Fengshan in the blink of an eye. This Fengshan is not high in altitude and undulating, but it extends far away. There is an official road sandwiched between the hillsides on both sides. It didn't take half an hour to pass through Fengshan, so I didn't even think about it.

Under Li Dian's opening, the [-] Cao troops went straight into Fengshan, advancing all the way, and the team alone stretched for a distance of five or six miles.

Li Dian and Xiahou Dun were in a hurry to march, and the mountains here were not too steep, so they did not pay any attention to it, and proceeded lightly all the way, hoping to rush to Langya County in the shortest possible time.

However, since they have entered Fengshan, they will not benefit from them.

While walking, Xiahou Dun sniffed suddenly, his heart shook, the smell of sulfur, yes, definitely the smell of sulfur!
"Come on, check the sides immediately. I smell a sulfur smell. Be careful of ambushes. Chase General Li Dian immediately and let him come over!"

Xiahou Dun shouted.

Not long after, Li Dian urged the horse to run over.

"Yuan Rang, what are you calling me for?"

Li Dian asked hurriedly.

Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "Mancheng, I feel a little uneasy. I can smell a faint smell of sulfur. Be careful of the ambush by the Qingzhou Army!"

Li Dian was startled and said anxiously: "In this case, our army speeds up. Although it is sandwiched by mountains on both sides, the view is wide and the terrain is flat. We can march on both the official road and the wilderness in the middle. We can march with all our strength, no less than half a mile." In an hour, you can rush out of Fengshan!"

Xiahou Dun nodded slightly and shouted: "Command the three armies to speed up and rush out of Fengshan!"

Xiahou Dun issued a military order, and the army's march suddenly accelerated. Li Dian urged his horse to run towards the leading cavalry.

Before Li Dian returned to the cavalry team, he heard a bang on the top of the hill!
Li Dian was startled. He looked up and saw thousands of Qingzhou elite soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountainside on both sides. Everyone was holding a bow and arrow, and they were already shooting down the mountain!

Although the peak of Fengshan is not high, the position on the mountainside is thirty or forty feet higher than the official road. The Qingzhou army bent their bows and set arrows, and shot them high into the sky one by one. The shooting range was reduced from the original range of only a hundred steps. Suddenly it increased to two or three hundred steps away, and it was condescending. This was the convenience of the location.

Waves of arrow rain completely enveloped the official road at the foot of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, there were tens of thousands of feathered arrows. Cao's army on the official road was suddenly in chaos. Countless people were hit by arrows, especially the cavalry at the front. Under the attack of the archers, The concentrated attack resulted in heavy casualties!

Li Dian was very anxious, and roared sharply: "Head the order, the cavalry charge, charge! Charge out of Fengshan!"

Rushing out of Fengshan, from the position of the cavalry to rushing out of Fengshan, the distance is only three or four miles away. If they charge at full speed, it will only be a blink of an eye. However, how could Zhou Yu give them such an opportunity?
At the southernmost end of Fengshan Mountain, the Qingzhou Army pushed back the rolling logs one by one. They lay across the official road in front. Not only the tree trunks, but also a lot of dead grass was spread on the official road here. It was just a layer of sulfur. Zhou Tai gave an order here, and the infantry on both sides started firing arrows at the mountain pass at the same time - rockets!
Rockets with flames landed on the official road one after another, igniting the withered grass and sulfur, and then even burning the log, rushing out?Not to mention war horses who are afraid of flames, even the fiercest pawns, it is not so easy to rush out from here!

The front four or five thousand cavalry circling back and forth on the official road could not rush through this sea of ​​flames. The road ahead had been sealed by the flames. On the mountains behind, the Qingzhou Army was still shooting arrows raining desperately. Waves of feathered arrows shot down all over the sky, causing Cao Jun to complain and howl again and again.

Xiahou Dun regretted it at this time, and shot?Most of the Qingzhou army on the mountain is at a distance of nearly two hundred steps from the Cao army. Shooting arrows from the bottom up, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shoot even fifty steps, and they will not be able to reach the Qingzhou elite soldiers. The army launched a charge?
On the mountainside, waves of arrow rain enveloped Cao's army completely, and the wind and rain were impenetrable. Let alone charging forward, even if they didn't charge, it was hard to say whether they could survive!

"Charge, charge, must charge out of Fengshan!"

Xiahoudun can't care so much anymore. Li Dian said that the Fengshan official road here is only about ten miles long. Now all the troops have entered this area, and the vanguard team in front is even less than three miles away from the mountain pass. , Ten miles away, sprint at full speed, that is, half an hour, you can rush out!
Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, Xiahoudun now has no choice but to charge desperately and break out of the ambush circle of the Qingzhou Army.

Xiahou Dun urged the army to rush forward. Li Dian came to the cavalry and ordered all the cavalry to put out the fire. If the fire in front of them was not extinguished, no one would be able to leave alive. Thousands of cavalry continued to attack the road with their spears. firewood, and even use dead branches to fight the flames!
After all, there were thousands of cavalry, all crowded here to put out the fire, and the flames were suppressed. However, the cavalry were all huddled into a ball of porridge here, wouldn't they all become living targets for the Qingzhou soldiers?The Qingzhou Army on the mountainside didn't even need to aim. They could shoot an arrow casually and make the cavalry down the mountain fall to the ground!

The roadblocks on the official road hadn't been cleared, the fire hadn't been extinguished, and more than half of the cavalry had been killed or killed.

Li Dian's heart was full of sadness. It's over. Even if this cavalry rushed out of Fengshan, its combat power would be cut to seven or eight, and there was nothing left...

"Order the three armies, prepare to attack!"

Zhou Yu looked at Cao Jun coldly on the mountain peak, and shouted in a deep voice.

On the top of the mountain, the Chinese army waved the command flag vigorously, and with a shout, groups of elite soldiers rushed towards Cao Jun from the bottom of the mountain.

With [-] elites commanding the troops, Cao Cao's army at the foot of the mountain was struck by thunder and fire. Their troops were frightened and their morale was dispirited. How could they withstand such a powerful attack?
Like a group of lambs, Cao Jun was chased and killed by the Qingzhou Army, and died tragically under the sword and gun.

Xiahou Dun is now too late to regret. If he had known this, it would be better to follow Li Dian's suggestion and let Miaocai retreat to Lu County temporarily. With [-] troops defending Lu County, he will definitely be able to keep Yuzhou behind him. Now Langya County is besieged , I am in a tight siege, even if I can escape, I will definitely be seriously injured, how can I stop the damn Liu Xiao?
