Chaisang.

Liu Yao tied his mount, stared at the scattered lights in the camp in the distance, took a deep breath, and issued an order to attack.

Because it was a night attack, there were no war drums that shook the sky, no flags, dark clouds, and the stars were dim, and everything was shrouded in the deep night. The messenger sent Liu Yao's orders to the ears of the generals. With the sound of low shouts, countless vague figures squirmed in the darkness and mixed together, like monsters lurking in the abyss, full of danger. The chaotic footsteps sounded and were quickly blown away by the night wind.

Today is New Year's Eve. Liu Yao has not fought back and waited patiently for more than half a month, just to wait for the opportunity today. He considered all kinds of factors. Not only is there no moonlight in the sky, but the wind is also very strong, and the north wind is blowing. The wind is strong and the night is dark, suitable for raids. The north wind is blowing, Zhou Yu is at the upper wind and he is at the lower wind. The sound in Zhou Yu's camp can blow into his ears, but he cannot hear the sound made by his subordinates when they act.

More importantly, the water on the river is very fast and the waves are very high, so it is not that easy for Zhou Yu to retreat. There are many unknown dangers when sailing at night, and sailing against the wind is even more dangerous. Fear has always been the most powerful weapon. Panic and death in the water will lead to immeasurable losses.

Liu Yao raised his hand to block the north wind that was blowing tighter and tighter, staring at the camp in the distance, for fear of missing a little detail.

After a while, the camp in the distance suddenly sounded a fierce gong. This was a call from the police, indicating that the camp was attacked. Immediately afterwards, the camp was fired in the northwest direction and spread rapidly, illuminating the sky. Even though it was so far away, Liu Yao could see a vague figure.

Liu Yao laughed, kicked the war horse lightly, and galloped forward.

Xu Shao followed closely behind, lay on the horse's back, holding the horse's neck tightly, for fear of falling down. Although this posture was not very elegant and did not conform to his identity as a famous scholar, life was important, so he didn't care about so many. It was so dark that few people could see it.

The attack began. Liu Yao arranged an ambush in the northwest of Zhou Yu's camp to succeed and used rockets to attack Zhou Yu's camp. The sky was dry and the wind was so strong that it was difficult to extinguish once the fire broke out, and it would burn the entire camp along with the wind. When Zhou Yu was busy putting out the fire, the real main force would launch an attack on the south side and enter Zhou Yu's baggage camp.

One virtual and one real is enough to make Zhou Yu frustrated and lose sight of the other. Whether he chooses to put out the fire or guard the camp, he will be defeated in the end. Even if Zhou Yu chooses to withdraw from the camp and the baggage is burned, Zhou Yu can only choose to withdraw his troops.

Liu Yao was very satisfied with his plan and was even a little proud. Even after hearing his plan, Xu Shao agreed and felt that there was a great hope of success.

Liu Yao rushed to the front of the camp. Against the backdrop of the fire, he saw more clearly. Zhou Yu's camp was full of figures, and countless soldiers ran out of the tent, some rushed towards the direction of the fire, and some stood there blankly.

The fire in the northwest became increasingly strong, and the sound of the gongs that called the police was tighter. At the same time, the sound of war drums that ordered the guards of each battalion also sounded, swaying in the night wind. Liu Yao sneered secretly and issued an order to attack.

The prepared soldiers shouted in unison and rushed to the camp not far away. While they were running, they lit the torches in their hands. From one to two to four, the number of torches increased rapidly and expanded into a sea of ​​fire. Zhou Yu's soldiers in the camp became panicked, and many people rushed to the front of the camp to set up defenses. Some people extended their spears out of the camp to stab, and more people pulled out the arrows and prepared to shoot arrows. Liu Yao's subordinates rushed to the camp and braved the sporadic rain of arrows shot out of the camp and threw out the torches in their hands. Some of them rushed to the camp gate and grabbed the big axe in their hands and slashed them hard.

The torches crossed the camp and landed in the camp, illuminating the panic faces of the soldiers beside the camp. They rushed to put out the fire, but to no avail. More torches fell into the camp, causing greater panic.

A cheer came from a distance, and the camp gate was split open. Liu Yao's subordinates flocked in, rushed into the camp, and set fire everywhere.

Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, he had already succeeded most. Even if Zhou Yu had a talented person, he would not be able to turn things around.

The situation was as Liu Yao had expected in advance. When the camp gate was broken and the storage warehouse where the food and grass were stored was ignited, Zhou Yu's subordinates were already in chaos. Some wanted to put out the fire, while others wanted to block it, but they could not take into account both. They could not stop Liu Yao's subordinates from attacking, nor could they control the fire. After persisting for a while, they retreated, leaving behind a burning camp.

Smelling the burnt smell of the food, Liu Yao felt unspeakable. He looked at the camp that was gradually becoming a sea of ​​fire and said to Xu Shao: "Zi General, you will be successful in attacking the camp this time."

Xu Shao stroked his beard and sighed softly. "It's a pity that I burned so much food. It would be great if I could transport it back to the city."

Liu Yao laughed. "Zi is kind, but Zhou Yu is afraid that he will not agree, so he has to burn it. Zhou Yu lacks food and can only retreat. We can take advantage of the victory to take Lujiang and can still catch up with spring plowing. Lujiang is fertile and suitable for growing rice. The grain harvested in autumn is more than these burned food. If Sun Ce can be eliminated one day earlier and Yangzhou is recovered, it may be not far from peace in the world."

"Yes." Xu Shao echoed: "If Sun Ce does not die, the world will be in peace."

Xu Shao raised his hand and covered his nose. The wind became stronger and stronger, and the fire became stronger. Ashes were flying all over the sky, falling on their heads and bodies. Liu Yao was ready to take out a piece of silk squid on his face, covering his mouth and nose, and then took out a piece and handed it to Xu Shao. Xu Shao took Menghao and then felt a little more relaxed in his breathing.

After a while, the fire gradually became smaller and the illuminated sky darkened. Liu Yao exclaimed, frowned, looked back at Xu Shao, with doubts flashing in his eyes. Xu Shao was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Zi Jiang, don't you think this fire is not right?"

Xu Shao didn't feel this way. What's wrong with this fire?

Liu Yao didn't care about explaining to Xu Shao. He rode his horse into the camp and asked someone to use a spear to open a fire that was about to be extinguished. As soon as the spear reached in, Liu Yao's face changed. This was a pile of hay, not a pile of grain, and there was no food under the ashes.

"Change another." Liu Yao shouted, snatched a spear, rode his horse to the next fire, and used the spear in his hand to push away the ashes.

Several of them were piles of hay, mainly reeds cut by the river, without a grain of food.

Liu Yao's eyes became flustered, and a layer of fine cold sweat emerged from his forehead. Xu Shao saw it and felt panic in his heart. At this time, Liu Yao suddenly strangled his mount and turned to look towards the direction of Chaisang County. Xu Shao subconsciously turned his head and was shocked.

The Chaisang City in the distance is brightly lit, like a brilliant lotus in the night, completely different from the scene when they set off.

In an instant, Xu Shao's body was covered in cold sweat, and when the north wind blew, the body was filled with coldness.
