"Damn mosquitoes!"

Zhang Fei slapped his face with his palm, crushed a mosquito to death, and growled, "It's so noisy that I can't sleep."

In order to conceal this operation, the soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou Army did not set up camp, but hid in a large forest to rest.

Guan Yu, who was sitting aside, smiled slightly and said, "Third brother, don't worry. If there are no accidents, we will see the outcome tonight."

Zhang Fei nodded, crushed another mosquito to death, gritted his teeth and said, "The hateful Lu Bu kid has made me, Lao Zhang, feed the mosquitoes here. This time, I will never let him go."

Guan Yu nodded, "Yes, we must not let Lu Fengxian escape easily this time."

In the battle of Hulao Pass, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang teamed up to defeat Lu Bu, but the main force was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The reason why Guan Yu was confident was that the people who came with the troops this time were not only the two of them, but also a young general who had recently joined Liu Bei.

Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi.

When Tao Qian was still there, Liu Bei led his troops to station in Xiaopei. At that time, he subdued the former young general.

Although Guan Yu was aloof, he was still quite satisfied with Chen Dao.

Although Chen Dao's martial arts skills are not as good as those of the other two, they are similar.

During the battle at Hulao Pass, Guan Yu knew very well that the reason why Lu Bu was able to escape was because his elder brother was not strong enough in martial arts and was forced to break through by Lu Bu, thus failing in his success.

Although Chen Dao Dou's martial arts skills were not as good as the two of them, he was far superior to his eldest brother. This time the three of them joined forces, and Guan Yu was very confident, so he let Lu Bu take the lead this time.

The reason why the troops were divided into two groups this time was because they were worried that Lu Bu would not dare to take action after seeing too many troops and horses, thereby missing the opportunity.

Guan Yu was not worried about Lu Bu taking away the grain, because so what if he took it away?

He even hoped that Lu Bujun would take away the food!

At that time, Lu Bu's army will march at a slower pace. The most important thing is that as long as Lu Bu's army takes away the food, they will find ways to protect it, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced a lot.

Only then will we be more confident in wiping out all Lu Bu's troops and eradicating this scourge.

If Lu Bu had not coveted this batch of food, he might have escaped with his life, but if he wanted this batch of food, he would probably have to pay for it with his life.

Just as Guan Yu was thinking in his mind, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard in the distance, and soon, a handsome young general came in a hurry from a distance.

"Two generals, news has come from the front that Lu Bu has taken action."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the news, Zhang Fei laughed and jumped up, "Lü Bu kid, I never thought you would dare to come. This time, you will never come back, haha!"

Guan Yu looked at the young general who came to deliver the news and nodded with a smile, "General Chen, this time, we must not let Lu Fengxian go."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Dao's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

Lu Bu is recognized as the number one military general in the world. Being able to fight with him is probably the greatest blessing in life.

In addition, Chen Dao had extraordinary martial arts skills and was arrogant. Although he knew that Lu Bu was the best general in the world, his arrogance made him eager to try.

What about Lu Bu?

Am I afraid of him because of Chen Dao?

Guan Yu saw that Chen Dao was a little nervous and said with a smile, "General Chen, you don't have to worry. With the three of us joining forces, Lu Fengxian is definitely no match for us."

"Send the order and the army will set off immediately."

Following the order, the Xuzhou Army hiding in the woods immediately ran towards the north regardless of the darkness.

Guan Yu was a cautious man and sent a large number of spies to the front to find out the news.

After hearing the news from the spies, Guan Yu felt a little relieved.

On this road, there are no tall mountains for the opponent to set up an ambush.

What's more, this operation was extremely concealed. Even Lu You in front didn't know that there were soldiers and horses following behind.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and murmured, "Lu Fengxian, we are going to meet again. This time, I'm afraid it's time to end it."

Having said this, Guan Yu looked into the distance and was suddenly startled, because he saw a lot of bright lights in the distance.

What is that?

A gust of breeze blew in his face. Guan Yu sniffed his nose hard and frowned.

There seems to be a burnt smell?

On fire?

Suddenly, Zhang Fei beside him laughed, "Second brother, look, there are a lot of bonfires lit over there?"

Guan Yu hurriedly followed Zhang Fei's finger and saw that there was indeed a lot of light in the distance.

These bright lights seemed to get bigger and bigger, and the burnt smell coming from the air became stronger and stronger.

Guan Yu looked around for four times and suddenly found that there seemed to be this kind of bright light all around.

On fire?

Guan Yu was suddenly startled and secretly yelled, "The whole army listens to the order and stops immediately."

Chen Dao also hurried from the front, "Two generals, there seems to be a fire all around. What should we do?"

As everyone was talking, the fire in the distance became bigger and bigger, and many places were connected.

Guan Yu's expression changed, "Retreat immediately!"

Faced with this situation, the only safest option is to retreat.

Just as the order was conveyed, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the rear troops.

"No, there's a fire in the back too."

"The fire is so strong, we are surrounded."

Guan Yu heard the shouts from all around, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

Zhang Fei sneered disdainfully, "What a bunch of cowardly guys. There's a fire over there, but there's no fire over here. What are you afraid of?"

Guan Yu hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough he found that the right side was already in flames, and the left side was indeed pitch black with no fire.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Guan Yu hurriedly shouted, "The whole army must gather and retreat to the right. There is no need to panic."

Chen Dao frowned and suddenly said, "General Guan, the fires on the left are so neat, someone must have set them on fire, but why didn't they set fires on the right? If they wanted to attack us with fire, they should have set fires from all sides?

"

Zhang Fei suddenly sneered, "General Chen, do you think they don't want to?"

Chen Dao was stunned and asked hurriedly, "General Zhang, do you know why?"

Zhang Fei pointed to the right, laughed and said, "Because the right is the river, what's the point of setting fire to it?"

After hearing this, everyone reacted and nodded.

"That's it, let's retreat to the right quickly."

Following the order, the Xuzhou Army began to retreat toward the river.

When Guan Yu came to the river, soldiers had already come to report, "General Guan, the river in front is not too deep, it is about around the waist."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Second brother, let's cross the river now and see what they can do to us if they set fire to it?"

Guan Yu turned his head and looked at the approaching fire, nodded, "Give me the order, everyone should cross the river where the water is shallow."

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army immediately jumped into the river like dumplings and walked towards the opposite bank.

This small river was not deep and not very fast. The soldiers held hands and crossed the river very easily.

Many soldiers turned their heads and looked at the firelight behind them, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, there is water here, but they actually set fire to it, but it's ridiculous."

"That is, no matter how big the fire is, as long as we hide in the river, what can we do to me?"

Some soldiers were already singing songs happily, and the whole river was filled with joy.

Because the river was shallow, the army split up to cross the river, and soon more than half of the time had passed.

Guan Yu and others rode through the river, but their feet only got wet.

Don't underestimate this river. Clothes in this era are thickly woven and absorb water very much. If a large piece of fabric is full of water, a weak woman may not be able to pick it up.

Just when Guan Yu saw that half of the soldiers had crossed the river and was about to give the order to assemble, suddenly there was the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Ta-ta-ta!

Hearing this voice, Guan Yu's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted, "The sooner you line up to meet the enemy."

When the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army heard that an enemy was coming, they were startled and immediately rushed over to line up without even bothering to tidy up their wet clothes.

Just as the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army formed their formation, a group of cavalry rushed out of the darkness and arrived at the flank of the Xuzhou Army in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian rushed to the front, and suddenly shouted, "Fire volley."

As the order was passed on, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came from the darkness.

Whoosh!
