Chapter 35: Burning the Camps
After estimating that the battle on the battlefield had become extremely intense, Guo Hao casually threw out his martial arts skill Red Flame. With a loud bang, the fire grew with the wind, the wind took advantage of the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and soon a raging flame burned up.
It grew into a fire dragon in the air and pounced towards the Yellow Turban camp with fangs and claws bared.
"The fire is burning! Put it out!"
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
Guo Hao also deliberately ordered his troops to shout loudly, attracting many Yellow Turbans to approach.
Just as the Yellow Turbans were helpless in the face of the flames and fled in panic, Guo Hao and his men concealed their achievements and fame and quietly disappeared in the Yellow Turban camp.
After the fire in the granary, thick smoke billowed and could be seen clearly for dozens of miles.
Fire attack is the most famous classic strategy in ancient times. Whether it is the burning of Chibi or the burning of the camps, they are all extremely classic cases.
Historically, Huangfu Song defeated Bo Cai by setting fire.
Everything is predestined by fate. The history that was originally bent by the Yellow Turban players was bent back to its original track by Guo Hao's sudden idea.
[System prompt: You successfully used fire attack on the Yellow Turban Army's Bo Cai Division, Intelligence +2.]
"Congratulations, you have unlocked the Fire Camp"
"Congratulations, you have obtained the bonus military skill - Sun and Moon Bow"
Guo Hao smiled unexpectedly. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. It turned out that war was the best way to make progress.
Achievements that cannot be unlocked at other times can be unlocked directly with each war.
Now all that remains is how to maximize profits.
…
Huangfu Song laughed as he watched the fire in the Yellow Turban camp. He then mobilized his troops and separated from the main body of the Yellow Turban Army, and began to prepare to withdraw to the various cities.
"The rebels' rear camp has caught fire, their food supply has been destroyed, and the entire army must retreat!"
Unlike Huangfu Song, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, Bo Cai, had a dark face at this moment.
He knew that he could not compete with Huangfu Song in command. Even if Huangfu Song gave the command with his eyes closed, he would still not be able to beat the opponent.
That's why he listened to Zhang Jue's orders, actively adopted the players' suggestions, and used a large number of Yellow Turban troops and Yellow Turban players to suppress Huangfu Song.
It was quite effective, but now the rear camp was on fire and all the food for the army was destroyed. Without food, he could not command the refugees who were brought in.
He was powerless to turn the tide relying solely on his own hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers (military strength 20-30).
A huge fire broke out, and the Yellow Turbans from all over the place went completely crazy. After all, all they wanted was a bite to eat, but now they had nothing to eat.
Relying on their bravery, the Yellow Turban Army even planned to fight the Han Army to the death, but found that the Han Army retreated directly without any lingering feelings.
In an instant, the originally solemn and murderous battlefield turned into a mess.
Some Yellow Turbans wanted to go back to put out the fire, while others wanted to seek revenge on the Han army. In the midst of the pushing and shoving, some Yellow Turbans even started fighting.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat"
Bo Cai gritted his teeth in hatred. He knew the situation was hopeless and immediately called off the attack.
Bo Cai did not even return to the camp, but directly led all his troops to retreat towards Jizhou.
Although he lost, their troops are still there. As long as they return to Jizhou and join the main force, they can regroup.
He had received a message from the priest in the rear camp and learned that it was his own troops dressed up as they had set the fire. Bo Cai almost went crazy.
This was the food he needed to fight a protracted war with Huangfu Song. In addition to Yuzhou's own food reserves, there was also food shipped from several other surrounding states.
Now they were all buried in a fire by Guo Hao.
"Duoxing, is our Yuzhou strategy over like this?" Bo Cai asked the players around him with a bitter face while sitting on his horse.
“All the food in Yuzhou has been concentrated together. Even if there is any left, it is not enough to feed an army of more than 100,000. What’s more, we only have enough food for three days. It’s even a problem how to get to Jizhou.” The player who was called Duoxing also had a bitter look on his face. It was such a good situation, but it was burned down by a fire.
He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that someone would sneak into his camp and even become a grain supervisor.
"General Bo Cai, our only option now is to forcibly plunder food from Yanzhou and retreat to Jizhou. If we wait for Huangfu Song to catch up, it will be too late!" Duo Xing calmed himself down and began to make suggestions. He knew that regret would not solve the problem.
"Order the entire army to speed up the march!" Bo Cai sighed and said helplessly.
"When I go to Jizhou, I must suggest General Tian Gong to pay attention to the military system and never let this happen again." Duo Xing was also distressed, but fortunately it was not too late to mend the fold, and he still had a chance to make up for it.
Huangfu Song did not stop Bo Cai's retreat. The Yellow Turbans, without food, were like a wounded tiger. No matter who appeared, they would become their target.
After finally opening up the situation and winning, he did not want to fight a desperate battle with millions of trapped Yellow Turbans. If it really came to that, it would be hard to say who would live and who would die.
He only needs to wait for a few days now, and these millions of Yellow Turbans will be his. By then, he can kill a lot of them and capture a lot of them. This will not only weaken the Yellow Turbans, but also make up for the losses of a large army.
[Congratulations, you are ranked first in the Faction Merit Ranking]
As expected by Guo Hao, his merits for changing the situation of the battle with a fire soared, exceeding Li Changsheng by more than twice and directly reaching the top.
"The most poisonous things are fire and water. I didn't expect that it would actually burn everything to the ground." Guo Hao followed the defeated Yellow Turban army.
At this moment, Xu Rong and Qu Yi who were following Guo Hao were already numb. They both had already seen that Guo Hao was really planning to play 800 to break 100,000. They just felt that following Guo Hao would shorten their lifespans, and they were playing with their heartbeats every day.
That night, Guo Hao led his troops to squat in the grass and knocked down a Yellow Turban soldier. He dragged the corpse into the grass, changed into Yellow Turban clothes, and headed towards Bo Cai's headquarters camp.
Guo Hao was not moving very fast, and he did not want to attract other people's attention. It took him some time to get close to the outside of Bo Cai's headquarters.
It was obvious that Bo was planning to retreat, and they set up the camp in a perfunctory manner. After all, they would set it up today and dismantle it tomorrow.
In comparison, Bo Cai's central army tent was extremely eye-catching, and Guo Hao could recognize it at a glance from the outside.
However, although they were perfunctory, Bo Cai's guards did not miss too many things when patrolling the camp, and there were several teams of people standing at the entrance of the camp.
"Who is coming?" When Guo Hao approached, a soldier guarding the camp issued a warning.
"General Han Zhong's men have important matters to report to the Marshal." Guo Hao made up an excuse.
As he spoke, Guo Hao took Xu Rong and Qu Yi a few steps forward.
Seeing Guo Hao and his two companions step forward, the troops behind them stopped moving and the guarding obviously relaxed a lot.
"Let me see the token." The captain guarding the gate said to Guo Hao.
"Here, look, the token." Guo Hao took two more steps, as if he was taking out something, and at this moment he was less than twenty steps away from the camp gate.
"Let's do it." In an instant, Guo Hao and the other two jumped up, and all the soldiers at the camp gate fell to the ground.
Just a group of regular soldiers, even Guo Hao was enough to kill them in seconds, not to mention the two second-rate generals Xu Rong and Qu Yi.
