Chapter 996: Transferring to the west of the city at night
"To the west?" Guo Jia frowned and pondered, and then suddenly said, "Cao Cao is back." ”
"Fengxiao, how can you see it?" Zhao Hui said.
"Cao Cao must be back, otherwise, it would be impossible for Xun Yu to take the initiative to transfer his troops to the west. Our army is on the back, and if he wants to deal with tomorrow's onslaught, he must concentrate all his forces to the north. ”
Zhao Hui said: "Even if Cao Cao comes back, why should he gather a large number of soldiers and horses to the west?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Because, Cao Cao wants to escape." ”
"Run?"
Zhao Hui was surprised, Cao Cao would take the initiative to give up Xu Du?
Cao Cao was defeated and fled, and Zhao Hui was not surprised.
But now that he has not officially attacked Xu Du, Cao Cao has given up?
"Cao Mengde is not a person who gives up easily." Zhao Hui said.
"Yes, he's not a person who gives up easily, but what if he knows that he doesn't have a chance?" Guo Jiadao.
"Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Du can't hold on."
"Report!"
At this time, the second spy also returned.
"In the west of the city, there are 10,000 Cao troops gathered, the palace is chaotic, and many people come out with their bags on their backs." The spy said hurriedly.
"It's certain." Guo Jiadao.
If it weren't for running, how could the palace be in chaos.
"Cao Cao is going to run away with his supportive Son of Heaven."
"Let's mobilize troops and horses and go to the west gate to chase and block?" Zhao Hui said.
"Lord, you still have to guard against Cao Jun's sneak attack." Guo Jiadao.
"Fengxiao, you and Pei Yuanshao stay in the camp and be on guard."
Zhao Hui didn't want Cao Cao, the great enemy, to escape again. Although Cao's army may have attacked secretly, Zhao Hui still had to go to the west gate to intercept Cao Cao.
Xun You, Cheng Yu and others all believe that Cao Cao will make a comeback.
Zhao Hui also believed that if Cao Cao escaped this time, he would be given enough time to become his henchman in the future.
Zhao Hui immediately called Zhao Yundianwei.
"Cao Cao has returned to Pingxudu and is now preparing to flee with the Son of Heaven. Come with me to the west of the city. Cao Cao must be taken this time. ”
"Yes."
Zhao Yundianwei received the order, and when the two came, they had already put on their armor and held weapons, and they went directly to mobilize an army of 10,000.
Although it was the middle of the night, the soldiers had already slept.
But as whistles appeared in the barracks, the soldiers quickly climbed up inside the tents. Put on your armor, grab your spear and spear, and come out of the tent.
When they came out, they were still wearing helmets.
But by the time the army was lined up, they were already fully dressed.
In a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei each gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses.
"Rush!"
Zhao Hui, Zhao Yundian, and Wei rushed to the front on war horses.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses, following them, rushed west along the outer extension of Xudu City.
On the city wall, those sleepy recruits of the Cao Army were awakened by the sound of iron hooves.
"Oh no, no, the enemy is going to attack the city."
There was a mess on the walls.
The recruits shouted and panicked, and some of them picked up spears and spears at the first time, but when they rushed out, they remembered that they had forgotten to put on their armor.
Some of them wore armor, but they forgot to hold their weapons.
"Where are the enemy troops?"
"I don't want to die yet, why is it attacking the city in the middle of the night, this is a sneak attack, this is a sneak attack."
"It's so shameless."
Some of the more cowardly ones cried directly.
There was a lot of noise on the walls.
Xiahoudun, who had just transferred 10,000 veterans, would already be in the west of the city.
However, he also heard the commotion in the north of the city, but he couldn't control it anymore.
He was waiting for Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven in the palace to come out.
Although these 10,000 people are not elite, Xiahoudun is also a famous general, and the speed of mobilizing these soldiers and horses is very fast.
"What's it called?" In the north of the city, the king of the cavalry capital appeared.
"The enemy army did not attack the city, and they all gave me peace."
With the appearance of Wang Cai, these recruits in the north of the city gradually quieted down.
No one cared anymore who was the first to shout that the enemy was attacking the city.
In the night, the king saw the long black dragon outside the city, heading towards the west.
A torch is very conspicuous.
"Zhao Jun, what are you doing here?"
Wang Cai didn't know that Xiahoudun had already transferred 10,000 veterans just now.
He was only a cavalry lieutenant, and all he really controlled was two thousand recruits.
What Xiahoudun is doing in the army, he can naturally easily bypass him.
And now in the army, there is a lack of generals, which is more convenient for Xiahoudun to act.
Although he didn't know a lot of things, Wang Cai still stared at Zhao Jun outside the city.
Soon, he found that Zhao's army had gone around to the west.
Then, Wang Cai finally found the 10,000 veterans gathered in the west.
"Whose order is this, and why is so many troops and horses suddenly mobilized in the west?"
Although he saw it, Wang Cai had more questions in his heart.
"Whose order is it? The Zhao army outside the city is coming for these soldiers and horses? ”
"Xiahoudun?" Wang finally found out that the commander among the 10,000 veterans.
"When did he come back? Xiahoudun is back, so Cao Gong is also in the city? ”
Wang Cai's eyes looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city, and the Prime Minister's Mansion still had lights, but the distance was too far for him to see the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Wang Cai, Duke Cao has an order, ordering you to lead an army of 20,000 in the north of the city to go out of the city and attack the enemy camp."
Just when Wang Cai still had a bunch of greetings in his heart, Xiahoudun came to him.
Since he decided to leave tonight, Cao Cao naturally sent people to watch Zhao's every move in the camp.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were still gathering soldiers and horses, and someone immediately returned to the city to report to Cao Cao.
"Yes."
Cao Cao's power for many years was still there, although Wang Cai had many doubts in his heart, he still immediately took the order, and after returning to the north of the city, he began to mobilize the remaining soldiers and horses in the north of the city.
"This may be the strategy set by Cao Gong to break the enemy." Wang Cai thought to himself.
Cao Cao's prestige is still there, and now that he has returned, he has mobilized his troops and horses, and there is such a big move, which makes Wang Cai also confident.
In the north of the city, the remaining 20,000 recruits had just made a fuss, and they all calmed down at the moment.
When the king returned, their armor had not yet been taken off.
Don't bother.
"Duke Cao has an order, sneak attack the enemy camp tonight."
I had already panicked once just now, and these recruits calmed down, and when they heard that they were going to attack the Zhao army camp, they didn't panic too much.
On the contrary, some people were a little excited, and they were already thinking about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.
"Out of town."
The city gate opened, and Wang Cai led 20,000 recruits and rushed towards the camp of the Zhao army.
Just now on the city wall, Wang Cai also made a rough estimate, and now the number of Zhao troops who have arrived in the west of the city is almost 10,000.
He now has 20,000 people in his hands, and there is still a lot of hope for a sneak attack on the remaining 10,000 people in the Zhao army camp.
If it was during the day, it was when Cao Cao did not come back, and Wang did not have this confidence.
However, when Cao Cao came back, this series of actions made Wang see confidence.
"Xiahoudun is here to lure Zhao Hui, and the sneak attack on my side is the point. Zhao Hui would never have thought of it. ”
