Sun Ce led the army and walked quickly. They had already bypassed Zhang Jiao's main force in Jizhou and successfully crossed the river. They were outside Changshe, just outside the Yellow Turban bandits.
The army stopped, and Sun Ce brought generals Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Luo Cheng to the front to observe the terrain, observe the enemy's situation, and discuss how to defeat them.
Military division Liu Bowen, also in the pass.
In this war, they would not be fighting the Xianbei barbarians in the north. They would have to fight with wits and courage, so Sun Ce specially brought his military counselor Liu Bowen along.
The three of them arrived at a small entrance and looked down at the Yellow Turban in the distance from the forest with a solemn expression.
Seeing the crowd below, the black mass could only be seen!
Luo Cheng immediately became excited. He shook the Five Hook Divine Flying Spear and pointed it at Huang Jing, who was below."My lord, give me ten thousand elite cavalry and I can kill them all!”
Sun Ce glanced at him. He wanted to ask this Xiu-Er to sit down, but seeing Luo Cheng's excited expression, he didn't want to spoil his mood, so he didn't say anything.
Liu Bowen shook his feather fan and laughed,""My lord, the rebel army is powerful. We can't attack rashly.”
Xue Rengui nodded." If those 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers are running away in defeat, we can indeed charge forward even if we have 10,000 cavalry, let alone 40,000 now!" However, the bandits are in a serious state and their morale is high. If we charge over, we will only end up with both sides suffering. If the bandit commander is a little stronger, we won't be able to charge at all. In the end, we will only lose a large number of soldiers!”
"That's true," said Zhao Yun."Why don't we use another method to defeat them? It won't be too late to kill them."”
Luo Cheng smiled awkwardly and kept a low profile.
Everyone observed for a while more. The sky was already getting dark. The Yellow Turban Army did not attack the city anymore. They all retreated to bury their pots and cook.
After the meal, they went to the back to rest.
Sun Ce looked over at the Yellow Turban bandits 'residence and saw that the " tents " were actually made of stacked straw!
Moreover, almost all the straw huts were close to each other.
The so-called grass joint venture was not just empty talk.
Hence, Sun Ce smiled.""No wonder in history, Huangfu Song chose to use fire to defeat the enemy. In the middle of the night, if the fire was set, how could the Yellow Turban Army not blow up the camp?”
Just as he was about to make arrangements, he suddenly had the idea of testing his subordinates, so he immediately asked,"Everyone, have you thought of how to defeat the enemy?”
Luo Cheng's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was having trouble going to the toilet.
Zhao Yun looked at the grass hut as if she was deep in thought.
Only Liu Bowen and Xue Rengui were confident, smiling and nodding.
Sun Ce smiled and said,"Why don't we write down our thoughts and see if they are the same?"”
Liu Bowen couldn't help but laugh.”
Thus, the three of them each wrote something in their hands and then gathered together. Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun could not help but stick their heads out and watch curiously.
Sun Ce was the first to open his hand. On it was written the word "Fire".
Liu Bowen immediately laughed out loud, and a " fire " appeared in his hand.
Xue Rengui smiled and opened his hand. Everyone found that his hand was also a fire!
" I don't know!" Zhao Yun suddenly slapped her thigh." I just feel like I'm making an issue out of this, but I can't figure it out!" Now I understand!"
"Zilong, what do you know?" Luo Cheng asked anxiously. My lord, military counselor, Rengui, tell me quickly, why am I still in the dark?”
Everyone chuckled. Zhao Yun then pointed at the rows of straw huts and said,""Look at those straw huts. They're arranged so tightly one by one. There are people sleeping inside! If they set fire everywhere inside, these Yellow Turban thieves would probably not have time to put on their clothes and take their weapons. They would all flee like a swarm of bees! If we continue to chase after them now, it would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables to destroy them!”
Luo Cheng came to a realization and his expression was one of joy!
Liu Bowen shook his feather fan and nodded slightly." My lord, I watched the Yellow Turban soldiers attack the city during the day, but I didn't see the Changshe garrison firing arrows. Moreover, the Yellow Turban bandits easily came to the city and knocked on the door. I guess Huangfu Song's garrison in the city must have run out of arrows and can't cope. This Changshe will most likely be broken tomorrow."”
If Changshe was destroyed, wouldn't Sun Ce have come for nothing?
Thus, Sun Ce immediately felt a sense of crisis.""In that case, everyone return to the camp immediately and order everyone in the army to prepare a grass ball. We will sneak in after midnight and set fire to it! Tonight, the Yellow Turban will be broken!"
Liu Bowen looked at the sky and wanted to say something, but he held back.
As soon as everyone turned around, they felt a gentle breeze that grew stronger rapidly. By the time they returned to the camp, the wind had already caused the treetops to rustle!
Liu Bowen was overjoyed.”
" What?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment before he immediately smiled." If it weren't for this wind, it would still take some time to burn through the camp!" This fire came at the right time!"
The 40,000 cavalrymen immediately searched in the dark and gathered firewood.
At this moment, he had just entered!
"It's still early. Tie up the warhorses. Everyone, follow me to sneak into the camp!”Sun Ce shouted and looked at the Yellow Turban Army's dimly lit area as he quickly advanced.
The Yellow Turban Army did not understand the art of war and had almost no patrols. At this time, the wind was strong, and almost everyone was sheltering from the wind in the straw huts. Even if there were some sounds outside, they were drowned out by the wind.
In the pitch-black night, Sun Ce took the lead and hunched his back as he walked forward. Soon, the firewood was put down and the fire started.
The wind was strong and the fire was fierce. The surrounding straw huts were quickly set ablaze. Before Sun Ce's army could completely retreat, the inside was already a sea of fire!
