Li Gu led 5,000 elite troops to sneak into not far outside the camp of Zhengbei Army. After a little observation, Li Gu ordered the sniper team to attack.

The attack of the sniper team was very efficient. After a few slight sounds of bowstrings, the soldiers of the North Army on the whistle fell down without making a scream.

Seeing that the sentries of the Zhengbei Army had been dealt with, Li Gu immediately suppressed his excitement and ordered the brigade to go forward and set fire. The five thousand Cao troops divided into three groups and slowly touched the Zhengbei Army camp from the northeast and south directions. Suddenly, a soldier accidentally tripped to the ground by an object under his feet. The soldier couldn't help but scream. The captain not far away heard the sound here and immediately ran over, lowered his voice and said angrily: "What's going on?" The soldier hurriedly said: "The villain was tripped!" When the captain heard this, he wanted to kick the guy who was screaming fiercely.

At this time, a soldier next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The captain turned his head and asked in a bad tone: "What's wrong?"

The soldier squatted down and said in confusion: "How could there be bamboo tubes here?"

The captain came to the soldiers and said, "What bamboo tube"

The soldier pointed in front of him, "Here!"

The captain squatted down and saw a bamboo tube as big as an arm, and also smelled a scent of tung oil. The captain couldn't help but be stunned, then his face changed and he shouted, "Not good!!"

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the originally dark camp of Zhengbei Army suddenly lit up, and countless people fired torches. The five thousand elite Cao troops who were approaching Zhengbei Army camp were stunned. At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from Zhengbei Army camp, "Shoot the arrow!" Then the rockets flew out from Zhengbei Army camp like a meteor shower, landing in the wilderness. Suddenly a big fire broke out, and then the fire heads emerged one after another, and the flames spread rapidly along some fixed trajectories. Cao's army screamed, and Li Gu, who came to his senses, was shocked and shouted anxiously: "Retreat! Retreat!!" At this moment, Cao's army suddenly heard the sound of killing coming from behind. He turned his head to look and saw tens of thousands of Zhengbei Army soldiers quickly surrounding from the northwest and south directions, and the Cao's soldiers were even more shocked.

The Northern Army arrived at about fifty steps away from the line of fire, and then set up a formation. The powerful crossbowman Zhang Xian raised an arrow and began to shoot arrows at Cao's army, who was struggling in the sea of ​​fire. The rain of arrows flew towards Cao's army. The Cao's soldiers who were running towards the sea of ​​fire were all shot and fell to the ground, screaming.

The flames had surrounded most of the Cao army soldiers, and the dry firewood on Cao army carried made the fire even more ferocious and vigorous. The Cao army soldiers on fire screamed and ran around, or rolled and struggled. The human-shaped flame was shocking. Li Gu cavalry shouted at the top of his voice on the war horse, urging the soldiers to break out.

At the same time, Cao Hong, who was waiting anxiously on the Xicheng Gate, suddenly saw the fire rising outside the military camp. He couldn't help but feel happy, but then he froze.

"General, General Li Gu succeeded! Take a attack immediately!" Cao Gang, who was standing beside him, said anxiously.

Cao Hong frowned and said, "No! The fire is not right! If Li Gu and the others set fire, why did this fire just burn in the wilderness?"

Cao Gang looked at the place where the fire was rolling around, nodded and said, "Yes! Then what's going on?"

Cao Hong said in a deep voice: "It seems that your previous guess is correct! The Northern Army had long expected that we would go to the camp to rob us!"

Cao Gang was shocked and said anxiously: "General, then let's go and pick up General Li Gu!"

Cao Hong said, "No! The enemy situation outside the city is unclear at this moment, so you can't attack rashly!"

"Then you can't watch General Li Gu and the others wiped out!" Cao Gang seemed very anxious.

Cao Hong glanced at Cao Gang and said, "Let's talk about it after the scout comes back!"

While talking, a fast horse galloped under the city gate, raised the flag in his hand and shouted to the city gate tower: "Hurry open the city gate!"

Seeing this, Cao Hong immediately ordered the city gate officer: "Open the city gate immediately!"

The city gate official shouted, and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, the scout rushed into the city, and the city gate was closed.

The scout ran up to the city gate tower and knelt in front of Cao Hong and said, "Report to General Li Gu, five thousand people under his command are hiding, and they are now in a tough battle!"

Cao Hong frowned even more and said to the scout: "Try again!" The scout Yingnuo immediately ran down the city gate tower.

Cao Gang said to Cao Hong: "General, what should we do?"

Cao Hong stood beside the battlements, looking at the continuous flames outside the city, and clenched his fists.

Cao Hong turned around suddenly and ordered: "Send the order, the infantry should be on guard, and two thousand light cavalry should be ready to attack!" The commander Yingnuo said and ran down the city gate tower.

"General, didn't you just say that the enemy outside the city is unknown, but why did you decide to leave the city now?"

Cao Hong said: "As you said, I can't watch our brothers be wiped out under our noses!"

When Cao Gang heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited and clasped his fists and said, "General, let the general lead the cavalry out of the city to meet General Li Gu!"

Cao Hong said in a tone of refutation: "I will come out of the city to take over! The important task of defending the city will be handed over to you!"

Seeing Cao Hong's tone firmness, Cao Gang had to hold his fists to agree.

Cao Hong raised his big sword and quickly stepped down the city wall, stepped on the war horse and raised his big sword and shouted at the two thousand light cavalry behind him, "Follow me to go out of the city to meet General Li Gu!" The two thousand light cavalry agreed in unison, with a strong momentum.

The city gate opened wide, and Cao Hong rushed out of the city wall with one horse, with two thousand elite light cavalry following closely behind, with horse hooves rolling like thunder.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――�

A considerable number of soldiers under Li Gu's command had been buried in the fire. Li Gu led hundreds of defeated generals to kill towards the west gate of Shanyang City. Suddenly, a thousand soldiers of the Northern Army blocked the Northern Army. One of the Generals of the Northern Army held a spear and was extremely imposing. This general was no one else, but Zhang He, the General of the Northern Army.

The two sides started a big battle as soon as they met. The infantry of the Cao army rushed into the Zhengbei Army, and each of them was like crazy tigers. The desire to survive stimulated all their desire for battle. However, the elite of the First Legion of the Zhengbei Army was not vegetarian. The madness of the Cao army not only did not scare the Zhengbei Army, but also made them even more excited! The soldiers on both sides roared and fought together, and their faces reflected by the firelight seemed extremely ferocious and crazy. Everyone was waving their weapons desperately and slashing each other desperately. Blood splattered under the firelight, and screams kept waving under the roar.

Li Guwu raised his spear and headed straight for Zhang He, roaring. Zhang He activated the war horse to meet him.

The two men crossed the soldiers of both sides, and a loud "clang" sounded loudly. The two of them rushed for more than ten steps and turned their heads. Li Gu's face was obviously shocked, and his right arm was shaking slightly; while Zhang He was still calm.

Zhang He shouted loudly and urged the horse to rush out. Li Gu was obviously shocked, and then frowned and urged the war horse to meet him.

Two war horses intersected again, and the roars of both sides suddenly burst out, and almost at the same time, a head soared into the sky.

The war horses on both sides rushed out more than ten steps. Zhang He turned his horse's head and looked at the distance with a spear with a calm look on his face. Li Gu's head was gone. The headless corpse stood on the war horse for a moment, then fell down.

Zhang He glanced at the soldiers on both sides fighting around and sang: "General Cao is dead! Those who put down their weapons will not be killed!"

The Cao army soldiers who were sacrificing their lives to fight were shocked when they heard this shout. They stopped fighting and searched for Li Gu's figure in their eyes, but Li Gu was not seen. The Cao army soldiers couldn't help but panic, and their fighting will in their hearts had disappeared, and their faces showed a clear look of panic! The soldiers of the Zhengbei Army around them forced them and shouted, "Don't kill those who put down their weapons!" Finally, the first Cao army school put down their weapons. Seeing this, the other Cao army soldiers also put down their weapons one after another. Everyone looked depressed and worried.

Zhang He ordered a team of soldiers to suppress the prisoners. At this time, a shout of killing came from the west. Zhang He turned his horse's head and looked west, saying with some emotion: "Cao army is really not a coward!" A scout rushed towards him and reported: "General, Cao General Cao Hong led two thousand cavalry out of the city, and is now fighting with our cavalry!"

Zhang He frowned slightly and thought, "Are there only two thousand cavalry?" "Only two thousand cavalrymen left the city! The city walls of Shanyang were heavily guarded, but there was no sign of leaving the city!" The scout added.

Zhang He nodded and said to himself: "It seems that Cao's army is still worried that our army will be ambushed outside the city!" Then he ordered the scout: "Tell General Li Tuo to separate some of his men to control the fire, and be prepared to attack the entire army at any time!" "Yes!" The scout Yingnuo said and left.

Zhang He looked at the place where the cavalry were fighting in a melee not far west, and a look of excitement flashed through his eyes. It was a look that the beast showed when it found its prey.

Zhang He shouted lightly and activated the war horse. The war horse ran towards the direction where the sound of killing came. Nearly a thousand soldiers of Zhengbei were following the horse. At this moment, except for the noise in the entire battlefield, other places had basically quieted down; the flames were still burning in the wilderness on three sides of the Zhengbei Army camp, but they were getting weaker and weaker. Many soldiers of Zhengbei Army were extinguishing the fire outside and slowly advancing inward. The reason why the fire did not develop to the point of being uncontrollable is that there were no trees around the Zhengbei Army camp, only some grass, and Zhang He also took precautions in advance, such as: clearing all weeds within twenty steps near the camp, etc.

When Zhang He arrived at the battlefield, the light cavalry of the Northern Army had already fully grasped the initiative of the battlefield. The light cavalry of the Northern Army struggled to support the fierce attack of the Northern Army's light cavalry! It was only a matter of time before the cavalry of the Northern Army's victory was achieved! However, Cao Hong rushed left and right in the army and jumped to the horse, which gave the Northern Army some color.
