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

Chapter 124: Liu Feng sets fire to Wei's camp
Seeing Xu Huang hesitating and saying nothing.

Liu Feng rode his horse and paced, holding his spear and shouting: "General Xu, I know you are brave and good at fighting, able to break into the enemy's formation and be the first to climb the ladder, and the soldiers under your command are also brave.

However, I, Liu Feng, have been fighting in Jingzhou for several months, capturing Quan Cong, defeating Pan Zhang, beheading Han Dang, and seizing Jiangling. I have fought nearly ten fierce battles of varying sizes. All the generals in Jiangdong are terrified when they hear my name.

Today, I want to learn from the abilities of Cao Cao's five generals. "

Liu Feng's voice was like a loud bell, his momentum was like the blazing sun, and even when he was just riding a horse and walking, he could not conceal his majesty.

Behind Liu Feng, all the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted "Fight!"

A thunder-like momentum spread across the battlefield.

On the other hand, Xu Huang's side.

Yin Shu, who had been clamoring for a fight at the beginning, actually subconsciously rode his horse back a step.

Although Zhu Gai did not lose his composure as Yin Shu, his left hand holding the reins was trembling slightly.

In terms of momentum.

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai lost.

"General, do you want to fight?" Zhu Gai asked in a low voice, suppressing his restless mood.

Xu Huang frowned.

After a while.

Xu Huang issued an order to return to the camp: "The enemy's morale is high, so let's avoid them for now."

Although he lost face, Xu Huang was not a person who only cared about face and not reality.

Xu Huang is not Zhu Laosi of a certain time and space, who would shout "I avoid his sharp edge? Take the knife!" for the sake of face.

When the armies are evenly matched, it is extremely important to use morale wisely for offense and defense.

Just like what Cao Gui said, "He is exhausted and I am full, so I can defeat him."

Seeing that Xu Huang actually went straight back to the camp, Kou Anguo could not help but be indignant: "Is this Xu Huang a rabbit? Running away again? Come and fight him head-on!"

Yu Fan's face was solemn: "Xu Huang's use of troops is not happy because of advantages, nor sad because of disadvantages. His advances and retreats are all methodical. Don't underestimate him.

As the vanguard heading south, Xu Huang should have been anxious to capture the city and the stronghold, but at this moment he did not fight with the general. Tonight he might feint to attack Maicheng to lure the general out of the stronghold, and then ambush the camp to cut off the general's way back.

If the general leaves the camp, it will be difficult to detect an ambush in the dark; if the general does not leave the camp, there is a fear that Xu Huang will turn his feint to attack Maicheng into a forced attack. "

Yu Fan's judgment was similar to Liu Feng's guess.

Xu Huang was eager to capture the city and the stronghold, so he would not confront Liu Feng in Maicheng.

If you don't want a confrontation, you can only use surprise attacks.

Raiding a camp is the simplest and most effective surprise attack.

Liu Feng was able to guess Xu Huang's intention and naturally had a strategy to deal with it.

But when Yu Fan heard Liu Feng mention that he would use all the soldiers in the camp to rob Xu Huang's camp, he could not help but wonder: "But if we do that, all the food and supplies in the camp will be burned by Xu Huang."

Liu Feng was not impressed: "When deploying troops on the battlefield, one must be flexible and adapt to circumstances, time and place.

There is plenty of food and fodder in Maicheng. Even if the baggage and fodder in my camp are burned by Xu Huang, I can still get supplies in time.

On the other hand, if Xu Huang’s baggage and food supplies are burned by me, he will have to go back to where he came from!
I used the food and supplies of three thousand men to exchange for the food and supplies of his five thousand men, and then destroyed his remaining troops. It was not a loss!"

Yu Fan was stunned.

Liu Feng's imaginative military thinking was beyond Yu Fan's previous knowledge.

a long time.

Yu Fan took a deep breath and finally understood why Sun Quan suffered a series of defeats after taking Jiangling.

Liu Feng’s thinking in deploying troops was too unconventional, and Sun Quan had no idea what Liu Feng’s next move would be!
If Yu Fan was in command of the troops, after determining that Xu Huang would raid the camp tonight, he would either strengthen the guard to prevent Xu Huang from doing so, or deploy troops to counter the raid, and at the same time notify Zhao Lei in Maicheng to be vigilant and provide timely support.

however.

Liu Feng, however, did the exact opposite.

If you rob the camp, I will rob the camp too.

You raided my camp and burned my food and supplies, and I will raid your camp and burn your food and supplies.

You leave your troops to guard the camp, and I will send all my troops out of the camp.

Let’s see who can burn who better!

Let’s see who suffers greater losses!

The most important thing is: Liu Feng’s core purpose is not to defeat Xu Huang, but to buy time for Guan Yu in Jiangling.

When Xu Huang came to raid the camp, Liu Feng counter-raided the camp and his goal was achieved; when Xu Huang did not come to raid the camp, Liu Feng went to raid the camp and his goal was also achieved.

Immediately.

Liu Feng ordered people to cook and also slaughtered chickens and ducks to provide snacks for the soldiers.

Since the decision has been made to use the tactic of changing homes, meat such as chickens and ducks naturally cannot be left for Xu Huang.

And just as Liu Feng and Yu Fan expected.

Xu Huang did have a plan to raid the camp tonight.

As the vanguard of Cao Ren's march south, Xu Huang did not have much time to waste.

If Liu Feng were blocked in Maicheng, then this march south would be in vain.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

It was a surprise attack.

But if the surprise attack fails, they will be faced with a "chicken rib" situation where they cannot win or lose.

Xu Huang quickly assigned tasks to the generals.

For example: order Xu Shang to guard the camp, and Lu Jian to pretend to attack Maicheng.

For example: Xu Huang personally led Yin Shu and Zhu Gai to ambush outside Liu Feng's camp, waiting for Liu Feng to leave the camp and then taking the opportunity to rob the camp and burn the food.

For example: If Liu Feng does not leave the camp, we will attack Maicheng by force.

and many more.

All deployments are rigorous and clear.

The four generals were also excited when they heard this.

Although Xu Huang was only a general who suppressed bandits, the four generals dared not disobey him because of his record of marching straight into Fancheng, beheading the general and capturing the stronghold.

That night.

Xu Huang ordered his soldiers to have a full meal, then divided them into two groups and quietly left the camp.

Lu Jian arrived at Maicheng first and ordered all his soldiers to light torches and disperse at a distance, making one thousand men appear to be four thousand.

It was discovered that a fire had broken out outside Maicheng.

Liu Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the camp for a long time, immediately gathered his troops and headed straight for Maicheng.

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai were both very happy.

"As expected by the general, Liu Feng fell into the trap!"

"Burn Liu Feng's food and supplies in the camp, and see how he can still act arrogantly!"

Xu Huang also knew that the opportunity could not be missed. After silently calculating the time and distance of Liu Feng's leaving the camp, he ordered Yin Shu to rob Liu Feng's camp. Xu Huang and Zhu Gai led two thousand people to continue to lie in ambush on the spot.

Only Yin Shu was allowed to go, in order to avoid Liu Feng's ambush and also to ambush Liu Feng who was returning to the army after hearing the news.

Xu Huang was already familiar with this kind of tactics.

Yin Shu had been holding back his anger for a long time, so he rushed forward the fastest. "Yin Shu of the Great Wei is here to attack the camp!"

Yin Shu shouted excitedly and led the charge, and the Wei soldiers also shouted and killed.

however.

The only response from Yin Shu and the Wei soldiers was the whistling sound of the night wind.

The camp is empty!
"Fell into a trap!"

Yin Shu's face changed, he rode away on his horse, and retreated quickly with his troops.

Hearing a noisy sound coming from the top of the hill and seeing the soldiers returning in panic, Zhu Gai hurried forward to ask what had happened.

Even when asked several soldiers, they all said they didn't know.

Zhu Gai could only wait for Yin Shu to return.

Hearing Yin Shu say that there was no one in the camp, Zhu Gai was shocked: "How is this possible? I didn't see any ambush."

The two of them then went to see Xu Huang together.

Xu Huang was also confused by Liu Feng's response.

Even if we want to rescue Maicheng, we will leave some soldiers in the camp. How can we mobilize the entire army to rescue Maicheng?
"How could Liu Feng be so careless?" Xu Huang frowned.

If it was another reckless man, Xu Huang might have believed it, but the one guarding the camp was Liu Feng, and Xu Huang didn't believe that Liu Feng would not leave behind a single soldier!
In doubt.

A scout arrived, and it was Lu Jian who was feinting to attack Maicheng and sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that Liu Feng did not go to Maicheng, Xu Huang's face changed drastically: "Quick! Return to camp!"

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai also reacted.

There was no one in Liu Feng's camp, and he did not go to Maicheng, so he must have taken a detour to rob his own camp.

Just after giving the order, Xu Huang added: "Yin Shu, quickly send someone to inform Lu Jian and have him rob Liu Feng's camp! Remember, the food and supplies in the camp must not be burned!"

At this moment, Xu Huang also recalled the information sent by Wen Pin, which was about Liu Feng fighting in the snow and killing Han Dang.

The situation tonight is so similar to the night when Liu Feng fought in the snow!
Sun Quan took advantage of the snowy night to send a large force to rob Liu Feng's camp, but Liu Feng's camp was also empty!
When Sun Quan's troops arrived at Jiangjinkou, they only saw Han Dang who had been beheaded!
"Xu Shang, you have to hold on for me!"

Xu Huang was extremely anxious.

Before leaving, Xu Huang only told Xu Shang to strengthen the defense, and did not let Xu Shang ambush his troops in the camp.

Xu Huang never expected that Liu Feng would be so decisive and direct in exchanging homes with him!
Xu Huang reacted quickly.

Liu Feng is faster.

Three thousand elite soldiers came out together, even Yu Fan carried a bow and a spear.

Yu Fan certainly didn't brag.

Even though Yu Fan is already over fifty years old, his physical strength is better than that of ordinary soldiers!

As if to prove his bravery in front of Liu Bang, Yu Fan was the first to shoot the arrow!

He even shot and killed the Wei soldier on duty on the arrow tower with one arrow!
This scene left Kou Anguo stunned.

Yu Fan's bravery in swinging his spear after shooting the arrows also made Kou Anguo feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Who is the military commander?

Liu Feng's sudden attack caught Xu Shang, who was guarding the camp, off guard.

Xu Shang never thought that Liu Feng would come to raid the camp tonight. He just strengthened his daily patrols, such as preventing fires and sending scouts.

They were already caught off guard and unprepared, and Liu Feng's military strength was three times that of his own!
Using the few to defeat the many, the advantage is on my side?
If the soldiers on the opposite side were from Jiangdong, Xu Shang would still dare to think about it.

But the opponents were Han soldiers who had experienced many fierce battles.

The advantage is mine? What a hell of an advantage!
Liu Feng knew that time was urgent, so he led dozens of cavalrymen and charged straight towards Xu Shang's flag.

He draws the bow with both hands and never misses his target.

Wherever the spear passes, there is no enemy that can match it.

Xu Shang was terrified.

"Is this Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng?"

"This boy can't be defeated!"

Xu Shang did not dare to fight and avoided Liu Feng's attack under the protection of his personal guards.

But because of Xu Shang's hiding, no one could effectively organize the chaotic Wei soldiers.

With a small number of troops against a large one and a group of scattered sand, it was impossible for them to withstand the surprise attack of Liu Feng's 3,000 elite soldiers.

The Wei soldiers in the camp either fled in panic or tried to protect themselves.

Seeing the collapse of Wei's military strength, Liu Feng acted decisively and ordered everyone to set fire to the camp.

For a moment.

Tents, food, baggage, etc., caught fire one after another.

And at this time.

Xu Huang just managed to get outside the camp.

Looking at the camp on fire, Xu Huang was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

"How dare you, little Liu Feng!"

Seeing Xu Huang leading his troops to attack again, Liu Feng did not want to fight anymore.

As soon as the horn sounded, Liu Feng led all the soldiers and rushed out of the camp and went straight back to their own camp.

"Catch up quickly!" Xu Huang ordered again.

Yin Shu exclaimed: "General, aren't you going to put out the fire?"

Xu Huang could not hold back his anger and shouted, "Why put out the fire? If we don't pursue them quickly, how can Lu Jian stop us? Without the food and grass in Liu Feng's camp, how can the army be at peace?"

Yin Shu then realized why Xu Huang asked Lu Jian to rob Liu Feng's camp and instructed Lu Jian not to burn the food and supplies.

Looking at the Wei soldiers who were chasing him closely, Liu Feng also had a guess: It seems that the Wei soldiers who pretended to attack Maicheng have already seized my main camp. Xu Gongming's military tactics are really difficult to deal with. It is impossible for me to gain any advantage.

Liu Feng also considered leaving a troop of soldiers hiding at the end of the slope, and then burning his own food and supplies.

Ultimately, the idea was rejected.

After all, it is unknown whether Xu Huang will send the Wei soldiers who pretended to attack Maicheng to seize the camp, or whether he will give up putting out the fire and pursue them relentlessly.

If Xu Huang did not send people to rob the camp or just focused on putting out the fire instead of pursuing him as relentlessly as he is doing now, Liu Feng's burning of his food and supplies would become a joke.

It was impossible for Liu Feng to really predict every detail and change.

Thinking room.

Fire appeared in the direction of Dazhai, and Lu Jian came with a battalion of Wei soldiers to intercept them, intending to attack Liu Feng from the front and back with Xu Huang.

"Forget it! Forget it! Human greed is like a snake swallowing its own. Being too greedy will easily backfire."

Liu Feng acted decisively and ordered his troops to change course, bypass the main camp and head towards Maicheng.

Zhao Lei, who was defending Maicheng, also realized something was wrong and hurriedly ordered Niu Xian and Lu Wen to lead troops out of the city to provide support.

The two sides fought for a while, and neither could do anything to the other.

With the sound of the respective horns, the night battle finally came to an end.

The chorus of mocking voices rang out again.

"Five good generals, nothing more than this!"
