Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 333 Fire Attack

Looking at the team that was slowly entering the ambush circle and suddenly stopped, Xu Chu showed a hint of confusion on his face.

Could it be that Yuan Shu discovered the ambush and stopped?

Xu Chu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. If Yuan Shu really discovered the abnormality and he couldn't enter the ambush circle he had set up, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

The ownership of Xuzhou City might also change. When Xu Chu thought of Liu Yu's expectations of him when they parted, he wanted to lead his men to charge forward.

But his clear mind told him that this mindless and reckless approach would not work at all. Now he could only wait quietly and wait for Yuan Shu to lead his troops into the ambush circle. This was the only chance to achieve his strategic goal.

Just as Xu Chu was worried, the fire that had just stopped, after a short pause, began to move slowly forward.

Xu Chu felt ecstatic. It’s here, it’s finally here.

He ordered the soldiers around him to act with caution and no one should act rashly without his orders.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Xu Chu showed a smile on his face.

Now he didn't have to do anything, all he had to do was wait.

As the team went deeper, Yuan Shu saw the mountain path becoming narrower and the woods becoming denser, and a hint of panic flashed across the confident expression on his face.

Ji Ling was right. The terrain here was dangerous and it was really a dead end. If someone ambushed here, I would probably find it difficult to escape unscathed.

While Yuan Shu was shocked by the situation, he was also happy about his wise decision to send troops quickly.

If he did not send troops in time, Liu Yu would be so treacherous that he would most likely leave an ambush here.

In the battle of Xuzhou, he had suppressed Liu Yu and gained the upper hand.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu inexplicably felt a surge of confidence, and famous generals from ancient times to the present kept flashing in his mind.

My decision is no less impressive than those made by famous generals in ancient times.

Just as Yuan Shu was mocking Liu Yu for his lack of wisdom, he heard an arrow shot towards him.

Then a rough voice sounded in the air.

"Shoot the arrows, keep Yuan Shu alive, kill him!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Shouts and cries of killing suddenly arose, flames shot up into the sky all around, and countless arrows mixed with fire shot towards Yuan's army from all directions.

The wind fueled the fire, and suddenly flames appeared all over the narrow mountain road.

There were screams and countless soldiers fled in panic. Not only did they fail to escape, but they made the scene even more chaotic.

Yuan Shu tried his best to shrink his body, fearing that the arrows would hit him.

His face was pale and his eyes were full of panic. He no longer had the pride he had just had, only panic and nervousness.

Ji Ling never let his guard down, but the arrows came too suddenly. The enemy occupied the geographical location, and with the fire burning all around, it was impossible to counterattack. The most important thing now was to organize troops to break out.

Seeing the panicked soldiers fleeing in all directions, Ji Ling drew his sword and chopped down several soldiers in succession. He shouted, "Why are you panicking? Anyone who dares to make noise or disobey military discipline will be killed."

The soldiers looked at Ji Ling's shining long sword, which was still dripping with blood, and the murderous intent on their faces became increasingly cruel. In a very short time, they made their own judgment. If they continued to flee, even if they did not die under the rain of arrows, they would die under Ji Ling's sword.

Between rockets and long swords, they decisively chose the latter.

Ji Ling shouted loudly as his intimidation took effect.

"Gather the shields, follow me and escort the lord out."

Countless shields were raised, effectively blocking the rocket's attack.

Under the leadership of Ji Ling, they protected Yuan Shu and retreated in an orderly manner.

Xu Chu, who was originally watching the show from a high place, couldn't stop smiling when he saw the extremely disorganized Yuan army in chaos.

But when he saw Ji Ling gathered the messy team together with just a few words and then retreated in an orderly manner, the smile on Xu Chu's face froze in an instant.

What's going on? I was thinking about waiting until the fire was almost over, and then leading people to rush down and capture Yuan Shu alive?

How come Yuan’s army formed a battle formation just as I had this thought?

If he were to send them down at this time, although he could effectively destroy Yuan's army, the soldiers he led would also suffer heavy losses. After all, fire does not recognize people.

Looking at Ji Ling's calm face, Xu Chu couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

It was no coincidence that he was able to stabilize such a chaotic situation in a short period of time and stand out under Yuan Shu.

If I were in his shoes, it would be difficult for me to come up with such a perfect response in such a short time.

At this moment, he thought of what Liu Yu had said at the beginning, and he admired Liu Yu's foresight more and more.

Since it is difficult to kill Yuan Shu, let's follow Uncle Liu's arrangement and kill as many of Yuan Shu's soldiers as possible here.

After the rocket passed, under the illumination of the fire, huge rocks were pushed down from the hillside. Just as the situation stabilized a little, screams rang out again.

To Xu Chu's ears, these screams sounded like the sounds of nature, so pleasant and melodious.

The fire burned for two hours before it gradually died out.

When Xu Chu came down the hillside, the smell of burning corpses in the air made him feel very dizzy.

Xu Chu forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart and checked the situation on the battlefield.

"Okay, this battle will cost at least half of Yuan Shu's troops. If he still wants to capture Huaiyin, I'm afraid he won't have any chance in the short term."

Xu Chu was a little excited. Under the arrangement of Emperor Liu, he achieved such great results without losing any soldiers. It could be said that this was something he had never thought of since he started following Emperor Liu.

In his opinion, the battle between the two armies is very simple. It is just a real fight with real swords and guns, and whoever is stronger will win.

But this time, the weak defeated the strong, and it was a big victory, a resounding and overwhelming victory.

Xu Chu ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and returned to Huaiyin to report to Uncle Liu.

When Liu Yu heard the news, he did not show any surprise. He had been preparing for this battle since he sent his troops into Huaiyin City.

At first, he frightened Yuan Shu and made him lose his patience while waiting. Then he took the initiative to reveal his true strength, which instantly gave Yuan Shu confidence.

All of this was within his calculations, and this great victory was just a simple presentation of these results.

But when Liu Yu heard the reaction of Ji Ling and Yuan Jun, he was still slightly startled. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Ji Ling is not a well-known person in this era. In the stories of later generations, he has always appeared as a supporting character in books and operas. But from his performance this time, he was calm in the face of danger, courageous and rational, and made the most correct judgment in the shortest time. Just based on this point, he can be called a famous general.
