Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 112: As fast as the wind, Liu Feng took off his hat and retreated to Xu Sheng
Maicheng.

The governor Zhao Lei was wearing armor and holding a spear, patrolling on the top of the city.

The torn battle robe was stained with blood, and it was unknown how many days it had been since it was washed.

Half a month ago.

It snowed heavily.

First, more than a thousand wounded soldiers returned, saying that Liu Feng had launched a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou on a snowy night.

Later, Wu generals Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong led their troops to attack, claiming that Liu Feng had been killed by Sun Quan.

The morale of the soldiers in Maicheng was severely hit, and some frightened soldiers even abandoned the city and fled.

Zhao Lei didn't believe that Liu Feng would die, so he secretly contacted the volunteers in Jingshan and led the remaining soldiers to defend Maicheng to the death.

This evening.

Xu Sheng came to the city with the flag of the Jingshan volunteers to persuade them to surrender, claiming that Bai Shou and Ma Yu had been defeated and beheaded, which made the already low morale of the Maicheng soldiers even more depressed.

Now, there are only more than a thousand soldiers left in Maicheng, and most of them are injured or sick.

In fact, when Xu Sheng came with the flag of the Jingshan volunteers to persuade them to surrender at dusk this evening, Zhao Lei had already conveyed the military order: those who are willing to surrender can leave the city, as long as they do not help the Wu soldiers to attack the city.

However, no soldier in the city was willing to surrender.

Those who valued their lives had already abandoned the city and fled when defending it a few days ago.

The rest are a group of people who would rather die than surrender.

Looking at the soldiers leaning against the city wall and snuggling with each other for warmth, Zhao Lei's eyes were filled with pity. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "As a commander-in-chief, I cannot lead the troops to defeat the enemy. It's my fault!"

Looking at the Wu soldiers' tent outside the city, Zhao Lei's eyes were filled with resentment again.

Just now.

The guards around him suddenly shouted: "General, Wugou's camp seems to be on fire!"

Fire?

Zhao Lei was slightly stunned, then rubbed his eyes and looked fixedly in the direction of Wu Bing’s stronghold.

However, the originally well-arranged fires in Wu Bing’s camp gradually became messy, and the small fires for lighting gradually turned into big fires.

"Was it an accidental fire or someone hijacked the camp?" A flash of doubt flashed through Zhao Lei's mind.

If the fire was an accident, Zhao Lei didn't think Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong would make such a low-level mistake.

But if someone was going to rob the camp, Zhao Lei didn't know who would do it tonight.

"Could it be that Xu Sheng was deceiving me during the day, and Captain Bai and his men were actually fine, so he launched a surprise attack on the camp tonight?" Looking at the fire in the Wu army camp that was getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Lei made up his mind.

Bet!

If there is an accidental fire, I, Zhao Lei, deserve to die here!

If someone raids the camp, Wu Gou will be defeated tonight!

The drums started beating.

Zhao Lei picked out three hundred uninjured soldiers and claimed, "Bai Shou was not killed by Xu Sheng yesterday, and he has robbed Wu Gou's stronghold tonight. Let's go and help him!"
The visible fire in Wu Bing’s camp made the soldiers believe Zhao Lei’s judgment and their morale doubled.

Even though their hands and legs felt like they were filled with lead due to exhaustion from days of fighting, the brave soldiers gritted their teeth and followed Zhao Lei towards the Wu army camp.

At this moment, in the Wu army camp.

Fire all over the place.

Came to rob the camp.

As Zhao Lei expected, it was Bai Shou, the captain of the volunteer army from Jingshan.

Bai Shou led his men to set fire to the camp while laughing: "My brother-in-law has been familiar with military books since he was young. How could Wu Gou know his ability? He pretended to be defeated in the daytime, but Wu Gou really didn't take precautions tonight.

Burn them all! If you burn Wu Gou's food and fodder, they will have no choice but to roll back to Jiangdong, hahahaha!"

Bai Yong said distressedly, "Father, it would be a pity if they were all burned. It would be better to transport some back to the mountain. They will last for a long time."

Bai Shou slapped Bai Yong on the back of his head and said, "I'm so smart, how could I give birth to such a stupid son like you? If we don't burn Wu Gou's food supplies, how can we win? All you know is eating."

Bai Yong felt very aggrieved: "Father, please stop hitting me. I will become stupid if I hit you too much."

Just when Bai Shou was training his son.

Xu Sheng came with a spear in hand, glaring angrily and shouting, "How dare you, a barbarian dog, come and raid our camp!"

Xu Sheng was so angry.

This was the first time in his life that his camp was raided by the barbarians. This made Xu Sheng feel even more ashamed and angry than the time when he was attacked by Zhang Liao at Xiaoyaojin and had to abandon his weapons.

Bai Shou hooked his finger and said, "Come! Come! Come! Your master Bai Shou is here, do you dare to fight me?"

Xu Sheng was extremely angry and rushed forward, swinging his spear and stabbing.

Bai Shou turned around and ran, calling out to Bai Yong as he ran: "My son, stop that Wu Gou."

Xu Sheng became even angrier, and he changed from stabbing to smashing, shouting, "Get out of my way!"

There was a clang.

Xu Sheng turned his head in surprise, only to see that his powerful attack was blocked by Bai Yong.

Bai Yong seemed to have changed into a different person. He was no longer the timid person he had been in front of Bai Shou. Instead, he looked serious: "My father is not a barbarian. His last name is Bai! Our ancestor was the Qin general Bai Qi!"

Xu Sheng had an illusion that he had heard something wrong.

Descendant of Qin general Bai Qi?

Just you?
During this moment of distraction, Bai Shou came back with his knife in hand.

While chopping Xu Sheng, he scolded Bai Yong: "You idiot, I told you to stop him but you did! Don't you know how to run?

I have told you many times, don’t fight head-on on the battlefield! And don’t tell outsiders that our ancestor is the Qin general Bai Qi! Our ancestors can’t afford to lose this person! "

Xu Sheng already had an old injury, and Bai Shou and his son Bai Yong were both very strong, so they joined forces and beat Xu Sheng to the point where he could only defend himself.

And this time.

Xu Sheng's personal soldiers could barely catch up.

Looking at the Wu soldiers rushing towards him, Bai Shou shouted "Retreat" and ran away again with Bai Yong.

When Xu Sheng was about to give chase, someone came hurriedly from behind and said, "General, Han soldiers are attacking from the direction of Maicheng!"

Xu Sheng's face became even gloomier.

It was bad enough that the camp was raided by the weak barbarians in their eyes, but the Han soldiers who were lingering on in Maicheng actually dared to raid the camp.

"Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Xu Sheng looked hatefully at Bai Shou who was running away, and headed towards Zhao Lei with his personal guards.

Bai Shou saw that Xu Sheng not only did not chase him but also walked towards Maicheng. He also heard faint shouts and killing sounds from the direction of Maicheng. He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Zhao Lei is here to raid the camp tonight?"

Bai Yong turned his head and asked, "Father, should we save them or not? Uncle only told us to set fire to the food and not to fight."

Bai Shou slapped Bai Yong on the back of his head again: "You are so stupid! Since Zhao Lei is here, of course we should continue to set fire! We will burn all of Wu Gou's food and supplies tonight!"

Bai Yong felt even more aggrieved: "Father." Wu Bing's camp became even more chaotic.

As he failed to stop Bai Shou and his son, Xu Sheng took out his anger on Zhao Lei and stabbed him with his spear: "Zhao Lei, I gave you a chance! Since you refuse to surrender, then die here!"

Zhao Lei was not afraid either, he waved his spear to block: "Don't talk nonsense! If you want my life, give me yours in exchange!"

Fight for a while.

After all, Zhao Lei had fewer people and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that his comrades were dwindling in number, Zhao Lei cried out in grief and anger: "I, Zhao Lei, will die here today. I have no regrets! The Han and the traitors cannot coexist!"

The Han soldiers on both sides were infected by Zhao Lei and shouted "Han and thieves cannot coexist".

Xu Sheng sneered and ordered his men: "You are a dying man, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly! Kill them all!"

Just when Zhao Lei was in danger.

A horse came rushing down the mountain like a tiger, and its horse's hooves landed on the ground, knocking several Wu soldiers away on the spot, which directly suppressed the fighting between the two sides.

When everyone was astonished, they saw the man calmly take off his helmet, revealing a face that frightened Wu Bing.

"Liu Feng!"

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and his hands holding the spear were shaking.

The shoulder that had been shot by Liu Feng was also aching slightly, as if reminding Xu Sheng of the ferocity of the man in front of him.

Xu Sheng didn't know why Liu Feng appeared outside Maicheng.

What Xu Sheng knew was that Liu Feng in front of him was no match for him!
escape?
After this idea came up, it quickly filled Xu Sheng's mind.

After hesitating for only three breaths, Xu Sheng decisively turned around and ran.

Compared with Xu Sheng's fear, Zhao Lei and the remaining Maicheng soldiers were all filled with indescribable surprise.

With the arrival of Liu Feng himself, the rumor that he was killed by Sun Quan was refuted!

"General!"

Zhao Lei and others were all excited.

Especially those Han soldiers who were unable to follow Liu Feng in the surprise attack on Jiangjinkou due to injuries and were ordered to return to Maicheng, could not hide their feelings when they saw Liu Feng.

Looking at the group of Han soldiers in front of him, most of whom were injured, Liu Feng felt uncomfortable.

"You have worked hard, so take a rest and watch me defeat the thief!"

Although the words are short, they are a high recognition of this group of warriors.

Zhao Lei and others shouted: "We are willing to follow the general to break the formation!"

rear.

Tian Qi and his son Tian Zhong, Fang Yue's four military marquises, and Lu Yi's five colonels also led their troops to attack.

Originally, Liu Feng had no plans to raid the camp tonight.

The light troops had marched over a hundred miles from Jiangjinkou. Not only were they tired, but they only had one day's worth of dry food left. Liu Feng wanted to win the battle in one go, so he couldn't take the risk of raiding the camp with his tired troops.

However, this battlefield is always full of surprises.

Liu Feng did not expect that the Jingshan volunteers would join the war, nor did he expect that Ma Yu would plot against Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong and raid the camp and set fire tonight.

Liu Feng mistakenly thought that the person who raided the camp tonight was Zhao Lei from Maicheng.

Worried that Zhao Lei was making a desperate attempt tonight, Liu Feng immediately mobilized all his troops to come to the rescue, and happened to meet Zhao Lei and others who were surrounded.

Actually.

If Xu Sheng could keep his composure, he would have a chance to stop Liu Feng's tired troops.

however.

Liu Feng’s reputation for cruelty is too great, and Xu Sheng is not Zhao Yun.

The moment he recognized Liu Feng, Xu Sheng lost his composure and did not even consider the possibility other than "escape".

Escape can save your life.

If you guess wrong in battle, you will die.

As soon as Xu Sheng fled, the frightened Wu soldiers lost their backbone and fled in panic, not realizing that the Han soldiers behind them were just a group of exhausted soldiers with low strength.

On the run.

When Xu Sheng met Ma Zhong, he did not forget to call out to him: "It's Liu Feng who's coming. Don't fight him head-on!"

Before he could finish his words, Ma Zhong ran away, not forgetting to remind Xu Sheng: "Run separately!"

Ma Zhong’s idea was more pure: as long as we run separately, Liu Feng will not be able to kill both of us.

In pursuit.

Liu Feng encountered the Jingshan volunteers who were actively setting fires. Seeing the piles of food and grass being burned, Liu Feng's face changed drastically.

Upon learning that the people setting the fire were the Jingshan volunteers, Liu Feng quickly sent people to stop them.

There was no plan to raid the camp at the beginning, and Liu Feng also intended to rob the food and grass from the Wu army’s camp.

What if all the food and grass were burned.

These two thousand men of Liu Feng are going to starve to death!

Upon learning of Liu Feng's arrival, Bai Shou, who had set the fire, also changed his expression and slapped Bai Yong on the back of his head: "Why are you still standing there? Put out the fire! Damn it! What have I done? My food!"

Bai Yong muttered, "I said I wanted to transport it back to the mountains, but you not only beat me, but also told me to burn it harder."

Seeing that Bai Shou was about to slap him again, Bai Yong shrank his neck and quickly ran to put out the fire.

The chaos lasted for half an hour before it subsided.

Liu Feng did not continue to chase Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong who fled in panic. In comparison, the food and grass in the big camp were more important.

not to mention.

Liu Feng was originally a tired soldier with a light force, so he was powerless to pursue the enemy.

A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple.

Once we have rested enough, we can advance towards Jiangling City.

After instructing Fang Yue and others to clean up the battlefield, Liu Feng summoned Bai Shou and Zhao Lei to inquire about the military situation.

Liu Feng was particularly concerned about the movements of Cao's army in the north.

Zhao Lei shook his head: "The Wu dogs attacked the city too aggressively. I don't have the energy to spy on Xiangfan's movements. I don't know much about this."

Bai Shou took credit for it and said, "I know this. Nanxiang Governor Guo Mu was killed by a man named Xiahou Shang. Xiahou Shang wanted to attack Shangyong by surprise, but was discovered by General Guan. The two sides fought, but it seems that neither of them got the upper hand."

Xiahou Shang?
Liu Feng lowered his head and thought about the information about Xiahou Shang.

As Xiahou Yuan's cousin, Xiahou Shang followed Cao Zhang to conquer the Wuhuan in Dai County. After Cao Pi became emperor, he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingling Township, promoted to General Zhengnan, made Governor of Jingzhou, and appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Affairs.

Among the second generation of Cao Wei, he can be considered the backbone.
