Chapter 121

More than an hour later,

Su Xuan successfully received the reply from Huangfu Song's side.

"Haha! It's done!"

Su Xuan opened the letter, laughed loudly, handed the letter in his hand to Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, and others on the side, and said: "Generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have already agreed to our strategy;"

"We can start acting!"

"Great!"

Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai, and the others were also full of joy.

"Hansheng, Zhicai!"

"Subordinate is here!"

The two immediately stepped out and bowed.

Su Xuan said: "Hansheng, Zhicai, you lead 1,000 iron cavalry to detour to the southeast direction of Changshe;"

"According to the intelligence of the secret guards and the prepared fire oil and other flammable materials, set fire to the outer periphery of the southeast corner of the Yellow Turban Army camp at the third watch tomorrow night, forcing the enemy to flee towards Changshe City in the northwest."

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai immediately accepted the order.

Next, Su Xuan looked at Dian Wei again and said: "Dian Wei, you follow me, lead the remaining 2,000 iron cavalry, and ambush on the southwest side of Changshe City;"

"Wait for the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to flee here, we will take advantage of the situation to kill out. No need to worry about the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, just target Bocai's commander flag and charge, killing Bocai as much as possible to complete the meritorious deed."

Clearly, Su Xuan didn't want to miss the great meritorious deed of killing Bocai.

Only with real great meritorious deeds could he possibly obtain another promotion in a short time with the help of the Xun clan and Zhang Rang.

"Yes!"

Dian Wei immediately bowed and accepted the order excitedly.

"Lord!"

At this time, Xi Zhicai said with some worry: "Actually, 1,000 iron cavalry are enough to follow me. Why not let General Huang Zhong stay by the Lord's side to help the Lord defeat the enemy?"

He was still worried about Su Xuan's safety.

If the conditions didn't allow it, plus Su Xuan's own martial arts were strong, he wouldn't want Su Xuan to participate in charging and trapping himself.

This is really too dangerous.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong also hurriedly echoed.

"No need!"

Su Xuan waved his hand and said: "Your task on that side is very important. Zhicai, you have joined for a short time, haven't had much contact with the soldiers, and are not familiar enough with them, so you may not be able to command and mobilize them well;"

"In addition, without Hansheng, those 1,000 iron cavalry will not be able to form a military formation;"

"The combat power will drop significantly, which is not conducive to the subsequent pursuit;"

"Therefore, let's follow my arrangement!"

"As for my safety, you don't need to worry at all;"

"Not to mention that my strength can rival a super-first-class martial general at the peak of Danjin, and I can also form a military formation to fight the enemy and protect myself;"

"I still have Dian Wei by my side!"

"You can rest assured!"

In the early stages of starting a business, if you don't lead the troops to charge and trap yourself, how can you convince the public, and how can you obtain the Lord's meritorious deeds for promotion?

"That's right!"

Dian Wei on the side patted his chest and guaranteed to Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai: "You can rest assured! Even if I risk this life, I will protect the Lord's safety."

He, Old Dian, is the strongest bodyguard in the Three Kingdoms, okay?

"Alright!"

Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai knew that Su Xuan was right, and they couldn't persuade Su Xuan, so they had to give up.

The second watch of the next night,

Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai took a thousand iron cavalry to eat dry rations, then dispersed, divided into dozens of groups, with the help and guidance of the secret guards.

They were dispersed and distributed in three directions: the southeast, south, and northeast of the Yellow Turban Army station.

Wait until the third watch.

"Roar roar roar!"

Without a signal, the soldiers in all directions lit the fire at the same time according to the time calibrated by the secret guards.

With the help of fire oil and dry grass, the grassland burned instantly.

In an instant, it turned into a monstrous giant flame, wrapped in rolling heat waves under the blowing of the southeast wind, and flew rapidly towards the Yellow Turban Army camp.

That fire, that speed, even if people tried their best, they might not be able to outrun it.

Huang Zhong and the others successfully retreated, temporarily backed away a hundred meters, and re-lined up to gather.

They waited quietly.

Now is not the time for pursuit, otherwise, I'm afraid they would rush into the sea of fire.

For a time, the entire half of the sky was dyed red by the flames.

"Look! What is that?"

The moment the flames ignited, it was too obvious and was immediately discovered by the sentries on the Yellow Turban Army side, causing exclamations.

Some people notified Bocai immediately.

Bocai threw out the commander's tent to look, lowered his head to look at the grassland below the camp, and his face changed drastically: "Not good! It's a trap! It's the enemy's fire attack!"

"Quick! Zhang Bo! You quickly gather 10,000 soldiers to go outside the camp in the east and southeast to dig trenches at the fastest speed, clear the weeds on the ground, and block the fire."

"Yes!"

Zhang Bo immediately accepted the order and rushed out.

After he walked far away, Bocai immediately turned to Bu Si and Liang Zhongning who rushed over and ordered anxiously: "Quickly gather all the Yellow Turban Warriors, ordinary troops, gather as many as you can;"

"Half a quarter of an hour later, we will retreat directly towards Changshe City in the northeast;"

"Remember to convey the emergency evacuation order to the whole army, quick!!!"

"This..."

Bu Si and Liang Zhongning's faces changed, and they asked puzzledly: "Commander, haven't you already sent Zhang Bo to block the fire? Why do you still want to lead the army to retreat? And so urgently?"

"How many soldiers can be gathered in half a quarter of an hour? Except for the Huang Jinlishi, I'm afraid there are less than 30,000."

"Can you give us more time?"
