Guan Yu cheered on, Liu Bei finally made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, the whole army rushed to support Zhijiang from Jingyang.

The soldiers and horses here were originally ready to fight, so they set off without any delay.

But what Liu Bei didn't know was that not long after the soldiers and horses started, several sneaky people retreated from the dark place, and then rushed towards Zhijiang.

These people are naturally the scouts sent by Liu Ke in advance.

If Liu Keruo wants to use the strategy of encircling the spot to fight for aid, he must keep abreast of Liu Bei's movements.

Now that the news of Liu Bei's departure came back to the front, Liu Ke immediately arranged for the army to start setting up various ambushes along the way, preparing to surprise Liu Bei.

The first thousand 740 chapters and seven surrounded by fire

Liu Bei's army rushed towards Zhijiang immediately after receiving the news of Zhang Fei's request for help.

But he didn't know that in front of him, there was a net waiting for them.

His soldiers and horses were tense and fast, and they had traveled dozens of miles in one morning.

Liu Bei looked up and saw that the sun was getting hotter and hotter in the sky, and the scorching temperature made all the soldiers on the way parched and exhausted.

He couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and said: "Yun Chang, the soldiers are tired after walking for so long.

The order was passed on, after the army arrived in the forest ahead, it would not be too late to rest for half an hour, drink some water, rest and march again. "

When Guan Yu got the order, he couldn't help admiring Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and hurried down to make arrangements.

After walking for a while, they finally came to the forest. The long-lost coolness made the soldiers tortured by the sun refreshed in an instant.

Afterwards, everyone took advantage of this rare opportunity to drink water, enjoy the coolness, and some simply took a nap under the big tree.

Liu Bei was discussing the next move with Guan Yu and Fazheng, but he didn't realize that there was an undercurrent surging around him.

The first line of defense was General Xu Huang. He saw that the opponent was aggressive all the way, if he confronted the opponent head-on.

Even if Liu Bei can be blocked, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The most important thing is that there is Guan Yu, the God of Killing in the opponent's army.

He once heard that Wen Chou, the famous Hebei general who fought with him for thirty rounds, was split in half by Guan Yu in less than three rounds.

He was able to slay Wen Chou in three rounds, so with his own strength, he might not be able to survive five rounds.

So after Xu Huang took this task, he had made up his mind that if he could outsmart him, he would never rush.

In short, it is just a sentence, try your best not to have direct contact with Guan Yu.

In order to achieve this goal, Xu Huang summoned hundreds of scouts and released them in the spirit of casting the net widely and catching more fish.

When Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were more than ten miles away from him, he already understood the opponent's movements.

So Xu Huang acted immediately, ready to act at any time.

After another half an hour, he actually heard from the scout that the other party entered a forest to rest.

When Xu Huang heard the news, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Hahahaha! God help me too! Liu Bei, since you have taken the initiative to enter the forest, don't blame the general for being cruel!

Pass down the order, the whole army prepares fire starters, attaches rockets, and it seems that Ben will set him on fire! "

The forest where Liu Bei was resting was actually not that far away from where Xu Huang was ambushing, but because the other party was hiding the ambush, the other party did not notice it.

After Xu Huang got the news, he set off immediately, and after a while, he quietly came outside the forest.

At this moment, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were exhausted after driving for so long, and their vigilance was reduced to the lowest level.

Even when the other party touched the outside, no one noticed.

Xu Huang sneered, and according to the arrangement before he came, he arranged to guard the east exit.

Then with a wave of his hand, the bow and arrow troops that had already been prepared acted immediately.

The archer ignited the cotton at the front end of the arrow, and shot it unceremoniously into the forest.

It's autumn now, although the autumn tiger is still very fierce, the leaves have already turned yellow and fallen off, especially in this sparsely populated dense forest, the leaves have already piled up to a thickness of more than a foot.

The first batch of rockets shot into the forest, and as soon as they hit the ground, they ignited the fallen leaves, and in a blink of an eye, a ball of flames spread out.

However, the forest here is deep and the land is vast, and it did not affect Liu Bei's location for a while.

But it didn't take long for the nearest soldier to smell a burning smell.

A few people followed the smell curiously, and when they saw the scene on the other side, they were all terrified.

They hurried back and reported to their superiors. When the other party heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly took them to see Liu Bei.

"My lord, my lord, it's a big deal, it's not good."

"Why are you so panicked? Tell me quickly!" Fazheng said hastily.

"Your Majesty, it's on fire! The forest is on fire!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he stood up instantly.

He hurriedly looked in the direction the other party was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw a black smoke rising from the other side, and a burning smell wafted along the wind.

Looking at the situation over there, the fire has reached an uncontrollable situation.
