The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

November 190 AD.

Xu Huang fought fiercely with Yan Liang outside Nanpi City.

Gao Lan was worried that Nanpi would be lost and did not dare to go out of the city to support him.

Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, and Han Xian each besieged him from three directions. Yan Liang had few troops and temporarily retreated to Chonghe County, and sent people to Yuan Shao for help.

Han Fu sent Zhang He to lead 10,000 Weijun troops to the Bohai Sea for reinforcements.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng led his army and left Sishui Pass, preparing to cross the river and go north, seemingly to join Xu Huang.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu were worried about Jizhou and hurriedly led their troops to pursue him, hoping to intercept Zhou Cheng.

However, Cao Cao and others insisted on attacking Sishui Pass, and the Kwantung Allied Forces were divided.

This result made Dong Zhuo very satisfied.

But it made Wang Yun and others in Luoyang City angry. They were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and became more determined that they could not rely on Yuan Shao and others.

……

Xu Fangzhuo reported:"My lord, Yuan Shao is indeed chasing us."

"Hahaha. Zhou Cheng laughed and said:"Yuan Benchu ​​is smart and timid, but he dares to chase me." Tian Chou said:"

My lord, the weather is dry and dry, and the area is overgrown with vegetation. You can set up an ambush here, use thatch and bamboo as bait, set it on fire due to the wind, and then select elite soldiers to attack it.""

Jia Xu couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Tian Chou was very good at leading the army. According to the terrain in front of him and the current weather, he prepared to use fire attack.

Zhou Cheng looked at the withered yellow ground and said:"Dian Wei, He Man, you each lead a group of elite cavalry to lie in wait. When the fire reaches the sky, you will lead your troops to fight out."

"Here!"Dian Wei and He Man responded loudly.

Zhou Cheng also ordered his subordinates to get more thatch and bamboo and place them at the places where Yuan Shao must pass.

Zhou Cheng himself led the army and camped near the river bank.

Jia Xu said:" My lord, you can send people to cut down more bamboo and wood, prepare more bonfires on the river bank, pretend to cross the river at night, and lure Yuan Shao to attack at night."

Zhou Cheng agreed.

……

The scouts sent out by Yuan Shao reported to Yuan Shao the news that Zhou Cheng had camped by the river and had crossed the river at night.

Yuan Shao sneered and said:"The moth thieves are brave and ignorant. They don't know that water warfare requires camping far away from the river bank. Crossing the river at night is even more stupid!"

Feng Ji frowned, he always felt something was wrong.

Zhou Cheng is considered innocent, but there is Tian Chou and Tian Zitai beside him.

Feng Ji said:"My lord, there is something very fishy about this matter. Zhou Cheng is good at fighting and Tian Zitai is good at planning. They will not do such a stupid thing. Moreover, it is already dark and it is easy to be ambushed when marching at night."

Yuan Shao said:"Yuan Tu , In this regard, Zhou Cheng’s military strategy has always been focused on speed. In the past, Zhou Cheng crossed the river and marched day and night, leaving his left chariot and cavalry behind before attacking. Now that the thieves’ attack on Nanpi is blocked, Zhou Cheng must be trying to get ahead of us. Before the army, increase the number of troops in Nanpi"

"this……"Fengji didn't know how to answer for a while.

To be honest, what Yuan Shao said is not impossible.

Moreover, this is Yuan Shao's character: he is always scheming.

Now Yuan Shao believed that Zhou Cheng was trying to gain time, so he immediately ordered the entire army to speed up the pursuit.

Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others under Han Fu's account felt something was wrong, but Han Fu didn't object and they didn't say anything.

……

After night falls, the empty plain is dark and quiet.

Yuan Shao led the army and did not choose to camp, but rushed to the ferry.

Yuan Shao's army and horse, holding torches, looked like a fire dragon in the dark night.

But Feng Ji and others felt uneasy.

Moreover, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of fire oil.

Feng Ji wanted to remind Yuan Shao, but he was worried about being scolded.

Tian Feng reminded Han Fu.

Han Fu sniffed hard, and sure enough he smelled the smell of kerosene in the air.

However, Han Fu did not have time to persuade Yuan Shao.

Then I heard the sound of the horn sounding in the wilderness.

"Oops!"Han Fu was shocked.

Then he heard the sound of the wind.

It was a rocket!

The rocket hit the withered grass and immediately ignited a fire.

The grass was covered with a large amount of thatch and bamboo, and at the same time, there were also falling oil.

As the flames spread, Dian Wei, He Man and others led their troops and horses to fight out.

"Kill!"

"Yuan Shao suffers death!"

There were torches everywhere in the wilderness.

The shouts of killing were endless.

When Yuan Shao saw this, his heart sank, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Fallen!"Yuan Shao was on his horse and looked around. A large group of cavalry appeared in the rear.

It was now dark, and he was ambushed. The fire around him was so intense that it was impossible to form a formation to fight.

At this time, he could only hear the sound of drums..

Subsequently, a large number of torches appeared in the direction of the river beach.

The entire river beach was as bright as day.

Under the light of the fire, Zhou Cheng kicked the horse's belly hard, and Mo screamed wildly.

"Follow me and charge! Zhou

Cheng shouted, and then led his troops to kill Yuan Shao, Han Sui and others.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu were already panicking.

"Yuan Shao suffers death!"

"Yuan Shao suffers death!"

"Yuan Shao suffers death!"

Cries of killing echoed in the air.

Yuan Shao was frightened. He was not good at commanding troops to fight.

What's more, Yuan Shao had never commanded an army of more than 100,000 in battle.

Now Zhou Cheng led his army to charge, and there were also people behind him. The enemy cavalry is surrounded by tongues of fire.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Yuan Shao did not choose to fight against Zhou Cheng. He, Han Fu, Yuan Yi and others, with nearly 150,000 troops and horses, hurriedly retreated westward.

However, Zhou Cheng's troops had already caught up.
