Not only was Xiahou Yu shocked, Cao Cao was also shocked.
After all, not everyone could escape the pursuit of 5,000 Western Liang cavalry. Liu Bei was really lucky.
Xiahou Yu would never show mercy to his future enemy, Liu Bei.
However, the greatest enemy at the moment was the 5,000 Western Liang cavalry, so Liu Bei's life could only be put aside.
Xiahou Yu said to Cao Cao,"My lord, as I expected, the pursuers from Western Liang have already entered our ambush."”
"Advisor Jun is indeed a divine strategist! Then we'll act according to your plan!"
Cao Cao said.
Xiahou Yu nodded and said,"Alright then, call the generals over to assign tasks!"”
A moment later, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Cao Ren, and the other generals arrived before the two of them.
"Greetings, Lord! Greetings, Military Advisor!"”
Cao Cao said,"The pursuers are still fifteen miles away from here. The military counselor will assign tasks to them!"”
Time was tight. Xiahou Yu did not waste words and began to give orders.
"Zhao Yun!"
"I'm here!"
Zhao Yun said as she knelt on the ground.
"I order you to lead a thousand cavalrymen and hide in the forest in front. When the Western Liang army enters this valley, we will circle around and attack from behind.”
"Honorable order!"
Zhao Yun received the order and turned around to lead a thousand cavalrymen to set up an ambush.
Xiahou Yu then ordered,"
"Xiahou Dun!"
"I'm here!"
Xiahou Dun hurriedly agreed.
"I order you to bring 2,000 soldiers and ambush them in the forest. Bring plenty of kerosene. Once the Western Liang army is in chaos, immediately set fire to them!”
"I accept your orders!"
Xiahou Dun said and turned to leave.
Xiahou Yu continued,"
"Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu, where is Dian Wei?”
The three generals quickly bowed and said,"I'm here!"”
Xiahou Yu said,"
"The three of you lead the rest of the soldiers and block the exit of the valley.
Huoqi led his troops to charge forward and exterminate the 5,000-strong Western Liang army!”
"I accept your orders!"
The three generals quickly left.
At dusk, three battle generals rushed over from afar.
These three people were the Liu Guan and Zhang brothers. The three of them were covered in blood. Clearly, they had gone through a bloody battle.
Five thousand Western Liang cavalrymen were in hot pursuit two miles behind them.
Seeing the other party relentlessly pursuing, the reinforcements Xiahou Yu promised did not even have a ghost shadow.
The exhausted Liu Bei sighed on his horse,""Looks like my three brothers will die here!
Zhang Fei scolded,"You don't have a good mouth, but you can't do things well. Where is the reinforcement that Cao Cao's military counselor said?"“
"I don't know why the Western Liang Army is chasing after us.”
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were also puzzled. 5,000 people chasing three people, the Western Liang general opposite had his head kicked by a donkey.
What the three of them did not know was that the commander of the 5,000 Western Liang Army was Niu Hao, the cousin of Western Liang General Niu Fu.
In the battle just now, Niu Hao's brother-in-law was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei's spear.
Niu Hao was a henpecked man. If he didn't capture Zhang Fei, he wouldn't have a good life for the rest of his life.
In the depths of the valley, Xiahou Yu could already see the three Liu brothers and the Western Liang cavalry.
"Send Xiahou Dun a flag signal and give the order to attack!" he said coldly.”
The flag bearer hurriedly issued the order according to Xiahou Yu.
A moment later, sparks flew in the sky.
Xiahou Yu muttered to himself,"Liu Bei, I don't believe that this fire can't burn you to death."
……
"Not good! There was an ambush! Retreat quickly!"
Niu Hao was also a person who understood soldiers. When he saw the fire arrows that filled the sky, he knew that he had been ambushed.
At this moment, a lieutenant ran over and said,"
"General! Our retreat has been cut off!"
"All troops, charge forward! Charge over and destroy the troops in front of us. Only then will we have a way out!”
In just an instant, Niu Hao made the most correct decision.
"Report! There's an army blocking the entrance of the valley ahead. We can't get out!”
Another scout reported.
"All of you, lead your troops and charge into the forest. Run as far as you can! We'll meet up after we leave the valley."
Niu Hao saw that he had nowhere to go and ordered the general beside him.
"We pledge our lives to follow General!" All the schools replied.
" Howl!..."
"Crackle…"
At this moment, the forest suddenly burst into flames. Under the guidance of the kerosene, the withered grass quickly burned, and the trees could not withstand the scorching heat of the fire.
"Ah…"
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly…"
The Western Liang Army was instantly thrown into chaos, and the five thousand soldiers fled in all directions.
Unfortunately, water and fire were merciless. In the dense forest without water, there was only a narrow path in the middle of the forest. Even if they were to be roasted, they would be roasted to death, not to mention the thick smoke.
A moment later, the entire valley became a living hell, and screams rose and fell.
Xiahou Yu's fire burned for the entire night and only gradually weakened until dawn.
Less than ten out of the five thousand cavalrymen of the Western Liang Army survived. The rest were all burnt to ashes.
Hearing Xiahou Dun's battle report, Xiahou Yu picked up his self-made toothbrush and nodded.""Got it. Go and tell the lord the news.”
Xiahou Dun was just about to leave when he thought of something and stopped. He said,""Advisor Jun, there's one more thing. Liu Bei and his two brothers were not burned to death. They're still alive!"“
"F * ck! Liu Bei, you really are an unkillable cockroach!”
Xiahou Yu cursed.
