Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 303
Li Jue was taken aback when he saw this. He couldn't understand why putting out the fire with water was like adding fuel to the fire, and now even the water in the ditch was burning.

In the camp there are not only the equipment used to attack the city tomorrow, but also the rations for the next few days. Once the fire in the camp is uncontrollable, the battle is doomed to failure before it starts.

Seeing that the fire arrows were not being fired outside the camp, Li Jue hastily called back all the soldiers who were going out of the camp to counterattack, and arranged for them to help put out the fire.

However, the soldiers of Li Jue's army had never seen such an indestructible flame. No matter whether they were poured with water or buried with soil, they could not suppress the fire very well.

Soon the flammable baggage and tents were all ablaze.

The flames were raging, accompanied by choking smoke, and the entire camp was on the verge of panic and loss of control.

At this moment, Liu Yu ordered the two thousand Yulin army to start shooting preparations.

The two thousand Yulin army was divided into two teams, one team was responsible for lighting the bamboo tube flame bombs, and the other team was responsible for throwing them.

Following Liu Yu's order, thousands of bamboo tubes were thrown into the enemy camp like hand grenades of later generations.

This projectile is different from Xiong'ershan's. The last time it used a cart, but this time the time is tight and we can only rely on manpower.

However, even manpower can project 50 meters, and once the bamboo tube flame bomb explodes, the oil inside will splash around with flames, igniting other combustible objects.

In addition, the ditch is now full of burning black water, and if the flame bomb explodes in the ditch, it will even stir up a sea of ​​flames.

Bursts of bangs resounded through the camp, causing Li Jue's army, which was about to lose control, to fall into panic.

Once the bamboo tubes burst, the tongues of fire splashing around were very difficult to extinguish once they stuck to people's bodies, and countless people were burned to death.

Like thick black smoke, it was an invisible sharp blade. Many soldiers thought they avoided being engulfed by the flames, but they couldn't escape the poisonous gas in the thick smoke.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jue immediately ordered the whole army to abandon the camp.

Tens of thousands of people rushed towards the gate of the village without order, and countless people were trampled and squeezed into the fire ditch.

And those who rushed to the gate of the village first did not end well. As early as when the camp was in chaos, Chen Dao had blocked in front of the gate with two thousand spearmen.

As soon as he saw an enemy rushing out, the sharp spear was immediately raised from the bottom up.

The long spear array was like a refusal post, and all the enemies who rushed out were stared at the tip of the spear.

The spear array blocked the gate of the village, and Zhang Fei ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired. The crowded enemy soldiers hid in five places, but thousands of lives were reaped just this time.

But this is not over yet, the flame bomb troops commanded by Liu Yu are currently preparing for the second round of projection.

"Throw it at a place with a lot of people!" Liu Yu gave an order loudly, and then he threw a brick to attract jade, throwing the first bamboo tube flame bomb.

The bamboo tube exploded directly above the most crowded enemy's head, and the burning black water fell from the sky, but the enemy soldiers had nowhere to hide.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of "grenades" fell from the sky, and all of them exploded in the crowded enemy formation.

There were screams everywhere, and the enemy soldiers who were on fire just wanted to find an open space to roll over, but there was no open space for crowded people.

In order to avoid the enemy soldiers without fire on their bodies, the already crowded enemy soldiers became even more chaotic, and thousands of people were burned to death.

Under the attack of flame bombs, long spears, bows and arrows, Li Jue's army had no choice but to retreat back into the camp.

But now the camp is full of fire, and they may be choked to death without being caught on fire!
……

The fire burned all night, and less than [-]% of the [-] enemy soldiers escaped.

Under the desperate protection of his personal soldiers, Li Jue crawled out of the fire scene from under a wall of a village that was not completely burned.

Seeing that the general situation was over here, Li Jue wanted to take hundreds of people to evacuate to Xu Huang's camp first.

But Xu Huang's camp was not a safe place, and when Li Jue approached, he found that Zhang Ji was leading an army to collect the prisoners.

Looks like there was an attack here too, and it was a complete failure.

Li Jue said "this place is not suitable to stay for a long time", and hurriedly took hundreds of people to Hongnong City and fled.

In fact, after Xu Huang built the second camp, he waited for Zhang Ji to lead his troops to attack as planned.

That night when Li Jue's camp was in flames, Xu Huang gathered his men into the camp. At this time, his cronies quietly opened the gate of the camp to let Zhang Ji's army rush in.

Under Xu Huang's command, this battalion of 5000 people quickly chose to give up resistance and surrender.

Then Xu Huang didn't stay in the camp, but went to Hongnong City with his cronies to rescue the soldiers.

Xu Huang came to Hongnong City earlier than Li Jue. When he arrived in the city, he transferred half of the people in the city on the grounds that Li Jue was trapped, and chose the mountain road closest to Xin'an County.

It was not yet dawn and the mountain road was difficult to walk. Xu Rong ordered five thousand soldiers to rest in place, and he took his cronies to go ahead to see the terrain.

The place where Xu Huang chose to rest happened to be a narrow mountain road, and Liao Hua and Han Xian, who were ambushing here in advance, saw Xu Huang leave, and immediately asked his men to throw the prepared rolling stones and trees into the narrow road.

Countless people were killed and injured, followed by a rain of arrows, which took the lives of many soldiers.

Seeing that most of the enemy soldiers had lost their morale, Liao Hua and Han Xian ordered the whole army to attack. After a while of fighting, all [-] enemy soldiers were killed.

So far, the strategy against Li Jue's army has been declared a success. In this battle, a total of 5000 enemies were killed, 5000 were captured, and countless weapons and materials were confiscated.

Although Li Jue escaped, there were only 5000 enemy soldiers in Hongnong City. As long as they sent people to occupy Shan County, they could cut off Li Jue's connection with Luoyang.

After this battle, Xu Huang officially returned to the team. Liu Yu divided the Baibo battalion into two, and Xu Huang served as the commander of the Baibo battalion, commanding 1 people.

And the [-] Baibo soldiers who were originally under Chen Dao's command were renamed Baimaoying.

……

The next day, Liu Yu was throwing a celebration drink in Xin'an County, when he heard someone from outside the city send the battle situation in the southeast.

The letter said that Xu Rong was captured and the entire army was completely disintegrated. This news is very exciting.

Niu Fu in the southwest was killed, and Xu Rong in the southeast was captured. In addition to the originally powerful Li Jue army, there were only [-] remnants left.

Liu Yu's third step plan to cut directors was basically successfully completed.

However, Jingzhou and Zhu Jun jointly occupied Liang County, which made Liu Yu feel a little bit dissatisfied.

After hearing the news, Zhang Fei and others also said that they would lead troops to destroy Liu Pan.

Today's Yulin Army is no longer what it used to be. The battalions alone must have 10,000+ soldiers, while Dong Zhuo's troops on the front line in Luoyang are only [-] Feixiong Army and Han Sui's [-]. people.

Not to mention a small Liang County and Liu Pan, even a direct showdown with Dong Zhuo is sure of victory.

But Liu Yu was worried about Dong Bai, and he didn't want the capital to be engulfed in flames of war, so he didn't agree to let Zhang Fei and others mess around.
