Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The sky was dark, and the moon had already climbed up the treetops, emitting faint moonlight, illuminating the land in Guanzhong.

Thousands of torches were lit in the night, and the rural roads that stretched for several miles were illuminated by the fires as if they were daytime.From a distance, it looks like a fire dragon winding forward, straddling the horizon.

Wu Yi stationed his horse on the slope, staring at the east, his eyes full of anxiety.

According to the plan, Liu Ba's troops have already arrived here, and even if his troops fail to meet due to something, the front should have arrived.But now even the torches of Liu Ba's troops were not found in the dark night, which is too strange, which made Wu Yi have to suspect that something bad happened to Liu Ba's troops.

"Is there any reward for scouting?" Wu Yi asked.

"Report to the governor, the scout brigade did not find General Zhengnan's troops, and we have to wait for the scouts who have not returned to report back." The guard replied.

Wu Yi responded flatly, but the movements of his hands told everyone his uneasiness.

At this moment, several scouts rushed out from the night, stopped their horses far away, and came to Wu Yi's location.

After checking his identity, a scout trotted up to Wu Yi, panting heavily, and reported: "I will report to the governor, and I will go east to meet the troops of General Zhengnan's troops. Listen to his words and cross the river with the troops of General Zhengnan." Afterwards, they were ambushed by the Niwei Wuwei camp, and the troops were defeated. All the soldiers had to flee in all directions in the dark, without knowing where they were, and it was difficult to find our army."

"As expected!" Wu Yi's complexion changed slightly, and he sighed and said, "The General Who Conquers the South is in ambush against Wei."

Liu Lin loosened his grip on the reins, cupped his hands and said, "Captain, please order Lin to lead the people to rescue General Zhengnan's troops."

Wu Yi shook his head and said, "The night is dark and the enemy's situation is unclear. If we attack easily today, we may be in danger, so we need to be cautious."

"I don't know what the governor means?" Liu Lin asked puzzled.

Wu Yi pondered for a while, then said: "You can light a bonfire, and the gold will gather the defeated soldiers."

In the dark, the army's command flag is completely useless.When fighting at night, the army often needs to prepare gold drums for fighting, and set up more torches to intimidate the opponent.

Liu Lin frowned, and said hesitantly: "In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. If we light the fire and gather our troops, although we can defeat them, they can also attract the enemy. .”

In the dark night, the Han army was defeated, and the Wei army itself was difficult to pursue.Once the bonfire is lit, although it is a signal that can gather the Han army, it can also attract the Wei army.In this case, it will be beneficial for the Wei army to chase and kill the defeated Han army.

Wu Yi pulled his horsewhip and said in a deep voice: "You can set up camp at Fenghuo Terrace first, and then the army will stand ready to meet the routs; the cavalry will disperse to prevent the Wei army from chasing and killing the routs. If the generals have other good strategies, you can quickly Offer it quickly, without delay."

Huo Yi, who was silent for a long time, opened his mouth and said: "What the governor and Liu Powei said is not unreasonable. However, Yi thought that our army could take advantage of the opportunity and use their tactics to defeat the enemy."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Huo Yi who was standing quietly under the lamplight.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Huo Yi was not nervous, but met the gazes of the crowd, and said: "You can first follow what the governor said, and you can light the fire on the Fenghuo Terrace and set up a golden camp to defend against the enemy. The light of the fire will attract The traitors against the Wei Dynasty and the troops of the General Zhengnan will go there, and at that time, a certain elite soldier will lie down on the main road, and if the enemy is too strong, he can take the opportunity to fight out and defeat the enemy's edge." …

Hearing this, Wu Yi was overjoyed. He clapped his hands and said, "Great! Shaoxian's strategy is very good. He can gather troops and defeat the enemy. This is killing two birds with one stone."

As he spoke, Wu Yi looked around the crowd and said, "If the guards have no objection, then follow what Shao Xian said. Yi led the army to camp at Fenghuotai, and Shao went around first and then attacked the enemy."

"promise!"

……

Under the night, soldiers of the Wuwei camp held torches to illuminate the road ahead.The spear in his hand struck the grass to prevent the Han soldiers from hiding here.

In front of them were thousands of Han soldiers fleeing in the dark. They had no fire source, so they could only stagger forward in the moonlight.

On the township road, Liu Ba was lying on his horse, clutching the bleeding wound in his abdomen, his face was pale and sweating, his forehead was hot.Several personal guards surrounded him in the center and guided his horse forward.

Suddenly, an orange flame lit up not far from the west, and its bright light seemed to be a lighthouse in the night, attracting everyone to go.If you calm down and listen carefully, you can hear the sound of golden drums coming from a distance.

The personal guard showed joy, leaned to Liu Ba's ear, and shouted: "General, general. Is the commander in front lighting a fire to gather troops and signaling our army to join them?"

Liu Ba opened his eyes with difficulty, looked up at the direction of Fenghuotai, and said weakly, "It's the direction of Fenghuotai. It's also a signal from the governor to gather troops. Be careful, the Wei army may also go there."

"No! Hold on, General, I'm coming soon."

The personal guard helped Liu Ba back into position, and walked towards Fenghuo Terrace.At the same time, the soldiers of the Han army who fled like moths involuntarily went to Fenghuotai to seek shelter.

Cao Shuang, who was chasing him, laughed heartily, and said to Chen Tai who was beside him, "Uncle Xuan, the people of Shu lit fires in the dark to gather routs, how wise they are."

Chen Tai looked at the light in the west, and said thoughtfully, "Cao Wuwei, it's dark at night, it's hard to see people, and I don't know how deep the enemy army is. It's better for our army to withdraw and return to the camp. If we have the merit of ambush, this trip will not be in vain!"

Cao Shuang waved his hands disapprovingly, and said, "The people of Shu are terrified and defeated. This is the strength of our army. If you take advantage of this situation, what is there to be afraid of?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Shuang ordered: "Order the whole army to pursue the fire."

"promise!"

Under Cao Shuang's military order, the soldiers of Wuweiying lined up in an orderly manner and headed towards Fenghuotai.Sure enough, many fleeing figures were encountered along the way, and the soldiers excitedly caught up with the pursuit, and the original marching lineup seemed a little chaotic.

Chen Tai rode a war horse and walked slowly behind the queue, listening to the small noises of insects among the vegetation.

Suddenly, a few fires appeared in the woods ahead, and then hundreds of torches and figures appeared in the woods, shouting passwords, and came towards the army of the Wuwei camp.

The dense torches, countless figures, and the low sound of the horn, flocked to the soldiers of the military guard camp who were chasing, and they were instantly frightened and retreated.

"There is an ambush!" Wei Jun soldiers shouted.

Before the words were finished, the sound of piercing the air suddenly sounded, and the crossbowmen of the Han army shot sharp arrows and flew towards the soldiers of the Wei army.The soldiers who shouted were the first to be shot by the crossbow and fell to the ground. At the same time, their colleagues were not spared, and they were shot one after another, making miserable wailing sounds.

The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion in the middle and front row scrambled and ran back, spreading the panic to everyone. The timid Cao Shuang also retreated, and no one sounded the golden drum of fighting.The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion who still had the heart to resist, also retreated.

Chen Tai, who was in the rear was so angry that he jumped his feet, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The poor can't be chased, and it's really hateful to fall into their tricks. With such a powerful soldier in hand, why worry about not being able to fight!"

Huo Yi, who originally wanted to fight, took off his pocket hair and scratched his hair that hadn't been washed for several days, feeling very strange.Isn't the enemy coming from the Wuwei camp?Not very strong, considering the position of General Zhong Zhengnan crossing the river, why did he retreat in a short while, so strange, could it be a fraud?

To be on the safe side, seeing that he had not many troops, Huo Yi ordered: "Order the cavalry to follow me to slam gold and make noises. If the enemy advances, they will retreat. The rest of the soldiers will take care of the defeated army."

"promise!"
