Chapter 3299 The correct decision

『Enemy attack!Enemy attack!』

"On there!"

『Sulphur oil! Be careful of sulphur oil!』

『Go and put out the fire!』

The chaotic shouts suddenly rang out in the camp.

In the mountains, a large number of torches were also lit, shaking and clamoring, as if countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards the camp of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Guo Jia came out of the tent wearing a cloak, faced the night wind and climbed the whistle in the camp. He squinted his eyes and looked at the torches that suddenly rose in the mountains. He suddenly sneezes, and then he quickly ordered, "Come! Beat the drum!"

The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, covering up all the voices and echoing in the mountains.

The Cao army soldiers also restored order and calmness to the sound of the war drums, and arranged in an orderly manner to extinguish the fire that was shot in.

The Cao army soldiers poured the sand prepared in the camp on the burning tincture oil and quickly put out the tincture oil. Even if some wood and tent felt were ignited, they were pushed down by the Cao army soldiers, and the flames did not spread freely in the night wind.

"Sure enough." Sima Yi sneered on the mountain.

The Cao Jun camp where Guo Jia is located did not attack in panic, but instead made the most rigorous defensive posture.

The Cao army soldiers in the camp naturally would not be disturbed by Sima Yi's subordinates who were shouting wildly on the mountain. What's interesting is that when they saw other people doing things calmly, even if some people were still panic, they would quickly calm down...

If Sima Yi wanted to take the opportunity to attack the camp, he would be beaten by Guo Jia's defense.

Sima Yi stared at the firelight in Zhongtiaoshan camp and found that his original inference was correct.

Under the illumination of tinder oil, the movements of Cao's soldiers were also more obvious.

If the area where Sima Yi shot was a place to store grain, it might have threatened the food and grass issues of Cao's army, these Cao's soldiers would never be so calm...

Food and grass are easier to ignite than ordinary wood and tents.

Therefore, the answer is that either the area Sima Yi attacked was not a food and grass storage area, or the food and grass were hoarded underground and were not afraid of the burning of debris on the surface.

Sima Yi felt that the latter type was more likely. After all, Cao's army had a lot of people before, and in Zhongtiao Mountain, it was also considered to have entered the boundary of the loess high slope. The soil layer was dry and stable, so it was not difficult to dig some cellars to store grain and grass.

If this is the case, it will basically not work if you want to burn food and grass directly with the added raw yellow crossbow.

"I'm really very careful..." Sima Yi sneered.

"Would you continue shooting if you are engaged?" asked the soldiers beside Sima Yi.

Sima Yi turned around and went down the mountain, "No need, put it away. Prepare to transfer... Let's change the place..."

『Change a place? Go there?』

"Just go to the original ambush..." Sima Yi said with a smile, "By the way... the last person poured some tincture oil and burned the place!"

After a moment, the noise in the mountains stopped, but a mountain burned for no reason, and the flames soared into the sky, swaying in the night wind, reflecting half of the sky as if dawn had arrived early.

...

...

Lu Chang, who was marching towards the Tongguan camp in the mountains, received an alarm from the soldiers. When he looked back, he saw the fire that was red in half of the sky, and he suddenly shivered.

"If the military advisor expected!" Lu Chang shouted, "The thief wants to plot against Zhongtiaoshan camp! He sent an order, the back team will become the front team, the front team will become the back team, and return to the main camp quickly! Kill the thief!"

The Cao army soldiers shouted and turned around, rushed to Zhongtiaoshan camp.

The official road of Zhongtiao Mountain is relatively flat and open, but for this flatness and openness, it is necessary to wind up along the mountain, and it is impossible to go directly to Zhongtiao Mountain Camp in a straight line. Although Lu Chang and others received Guo Jia's advice, when they saw the firelight in the sky and were not clear about the situation in their camp, they would inevitably become a little anxious.

Normally, they came out of the Zhongtiaoshan Camp and encountered no problems along the way. Now that they walked back along the original road, they naturally would not think that the road back would be dangerous. In addition to their anxiety about the Zhongtiaoshan Camp, these Cao army soldiers walked relatively quickly.

As soon as you go, the team will be deformed.

The sword and shield hands, which were originally in queues on both sides, naturally did not have the weight to carry, but did not walk fast without the spearmen and archers in the middle. They set off in an emergency in the middle of the night, without eating a bite, and then walked back and forth on the mountain road, which was inevitable that the physical strength would decline.

Even with such a wide official road, it would not be very comfortable to rush back and forth. The soldiers of Cao's army couldn't help but feel panting, and the weapons in their hands began to turn into helping crutches...

There was a blazing fire on the mountain in the distance, and it seemed that a huge monster was roaring to the sky.

Countless birds and beasts were alarmed and screamed, and the scene of doomsday was a scene.

『Swoosh!』

An arrow flew over and shot the Cao army soldiers who were walking in the front to the ground.

"Ahhhh..." A scream rang out.

The soldiers of Cao's army subconsciously defended and avoided on the spot.

The falling torches flashed above the official road.

The mountain on one side of the mountain road is dark, and under the light and shadow, it seems like countless black shadows are hiding in it, shaking constantly.

'Enemy attack!' The soldiers of Cao's army shouted, 'There are archers! Where are the shields? Where are our shields?'

Only then did I remember the shield?

So just now, the shield soldiers were so tired that they almost vomited their tongues out like dogs. Why didn’t they say that someone would help?

『Swoosh!Swoosh!』

The arrows roared from the left and the right.

"Ahhhh! I'm hit by an arrow! Come and save me!"

The Cao army soldiers who were shot were either lying dying on the official road or struggling in pain.

"Run over!" Lu Chang shouted, "Don't stop!"

Almost instinctively, Lu Chang immediately urged Cao's soldiers to move forward instead of being congested on the mountain road!

Before Lu Chang's words could be finished, he saw a stream of light coming, staggering among the Cao army soldiers gathered in the mountain road!

Wood chips fly everywhere and tincture oil splashes!

『Ahhhhh…』

The Cao army soldiers stained with tinder oil howled, their voices much louder than those who had been shot before.

Many soldiers who were rushing around because of flames on their bodies turned dizzy, and some fell headlong into the mountains beside them, rolling down with long screams and dull collisions.

There are also some soldiers from Cao's army who instinctively asked for help from others around them, or they wanted to find someone to take care of them before they died. The flames were like close contacts and urgently spreading among the crowd!

"The chaotic army died!" Lu Chang slashed over a Cao army soldier who was on fire and ran around, "Run over! There is no danger to stop this path! Rush over!"

Lu Chang's judgment is undoubtedly correct.

The official road in Zhongtiao Mountain, which is winding along the mountain, does not look like a dangerous terrain that can be opened by tens of thousands of people. Instead of blocking the mountain road, it is better to rush over directly.

Lu Chang and the others had just walked through this mountain road before, and it was impossible to dig out any insurmountable gaps or traps in such a short time. Moreover, Lu Chang judged that this unit that attacked Cao's army was trying to intercept them to return to aid and slow down their speed, so as long as they rushed over, they could naturally break the interception of the Hussars.

Under Lu Chang's urging, the soldiers of Cao's army also shouted, leaving behind the injured or burned by flames, running forward frantically with arrows.

In the mountain road, because there is a slope, and at the beginning, Cao's army subconsciously shrank into a pile. Although between life and death, Cao's soldiers burst out their own potential, howling with all their might, pushing each other in the middle of the mountain road, some Cao's soldiers accidentally tripped or were pushed down, and dragged their long tail sounds into the mountain stream...

The arrows flying from time to time increased the panic of Cao's soldiers.

Under such circumstances, many Cao army soldiers showed their traditional skills and threw away all kinds of weapons and weapons on their backs. They immediately felt relaxed and happy when they reduced their burden. This relaxed and happy immediately educated other Cao army soldiers, so in the jingling, I don’t know how many weapons and armor were abandoned on the mountain road, and I only hoped for freedom and happiness and two blossoms, pursuing self-release nature!

Before dawn, the darkness seemed to be thicker.

Under the black sky, the blazing fire on the hill seemed to be a sign of something.

The soldiers of Cao's army, whether they were in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, running on the mountain road, or in the Tongguan Camp that had finally settled down on the other side of the river, seemed to vaguely feel something.

When people are in the tide of the times, even the slowest guys can feel the influence of the invisible force sweeping and driving force. However, some people can ride the wind, while some people can only squat on the tree and be a talkative monkey. Some people feel something but can't say it. After a long period of precipitation, they turn into a sigh.

??????55.???????????

Thinking about the past...

I don’t know if Lu Chang could remember that this was the closest he had to Sima Yi after many years.

If he turned a corner in his mind and tried his best to rush up to the ridge where Sima Yi was ambushed, he would be able to capture Sima Yi...

However, Lu Chang was good at defending but not attacking.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been asked to come to Zhongtiaoshan Camp to assist Guo Jia in garrison, so his instinctive choice was to rush back as soon as possible, rather than staying in anger and fighting Sima Yi with a strong force.

After missing this choice point, he was getting further and further away from Sima Yi.

It's like two intersecting lines.

The fire was beating, and Lu Chang carried an injured soldier across the interception line and left the fire and casualties behind him. The mountain road stained with tinder oil emitted a dazzling fire, as if it was about to echo the wildfires not far away. Some corpses were swallowed by the flames, emitting a unique burnt smell produced by the human body after it was burned.

『Don't stop! Go forward! Go forward!

Lu Chang urged.

As he expected, the opponent could only intercept and shoot on a mountain road at a certain stage, and after passing that section of the mountain road, he would leave the opponent's attack range.

On the ridge opposite the mountain road, it seemed that I could not attack Lu Chang and the others, so I gradually became quiet. If it weren't for the smell of blood and howling around me, I might have thought it was just an illusion.

Looking at the scattered queue behind him and his panic face, Lu Chang sighed and placed the wounded soldiers on his body on the edge of the mountain road. "The injured patient bandages on the spot and tries! Leave a team of people to take care of him! The rest follow me to help the camp!"

He could not stay here and wait for the wounded to be treated, so his decision was still correct.
