Chapter 763: Don't Mess with Flags (4000 words)
The wind blows in the middle of the night.
Cao Cao, dressed in battle armor, rode a majestic war horse, held a whip in his left hand, and hung a sword at his waist, and behind him were thousands of Cao soldiers.
"Lord, we can handle things like attacking the camp, why should you risk yourself?" Xiahou Yuan, who was following beside him, asked puzzled.
Cao Cao knew that Xiahou Yuan was concerned about him, and said to him with a smile: "There are not a few soldiers and horses stationed in Heze, and Guo Jia and others under Lu Bu are also scheming. ”
"But......" Xiahou Yuan was still a little uneasy.
Cao Cao interrupted, stroked his short hair, and was in high spirits: "It's nothing good, don't forget, I was also a military general back then, and I was also in front of the Yellow Turban to chase Dong Zhuo." ”
Looking back on those years, Cao Cao was also a passionate patriotic young man.
"I don't know what happened to General Cao Ren?" Xiahou Yuan sighed, faintly worried.
It has been almost two months since Cao Ren led the troops to travel, and there is no news at all.
"Miaocai doesn't have to worry, Zixiao has the style of a general and is proficient in military strategy, I am the most assured, not to mention that he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, even if he can't capture Chen Liu, at least there is no problem to retreat."
In Cao Cao's view, the worst plan was for Cao Ren to lose his troops and return defeated.
He never thought that this brother in the clan had been chased by Lu Bu for dozens of miles and had his head removed.
Cao Cao's original surname is Xiahou, and he and Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others are cousins who are related by blood. But because his father Cao Song is the adopted son of the late Dachangqiu Cao Teng, and his surname was changed to Cao, so according to the relationship between the Cao family, he and Cao Ren and Cao Chun are also cousins.
On the fourth watch, the team led by Cao Cao approached the camp of the Lu army, and there was only half a mile left.
The scout who went to inquire trotted back, clasped his fists and respectfully reported: "Lord, the camp of the Lu army is very quiet, but there are still many soldiers outside who are patrolling the night, and they are extremely vigilant. ”
Looking at the dark night sky, it was so late, and the soldiers were probably all asleep at this time, and silence was inevitable.
Cao Cao knew this very well in his heart, and at the same time deeply admired, it had come to this point, and there were still soldiers who kept their awake patrols at night, it seemed that Lu Bu was really strict in governing the army.
"Lord, do we still want to do it?"
Yu Ban, who was frowning, asked in a low voice, estimating that if he didn't go far ahead, he would definitely be discovered by the night patrol soldiers.
Because even if thousands of people lower their feet and walk around, they will inevitably make noises.
On such a quiet night, the non-commissioned officers patrolling the battalion would not be deaf.
"If Sergeant Lu was lazy, I might still be suspicious, but they are so vigilant, I can relax instead." Cao Cao thought for a while, a smile appeared on his yellowed face, and his tone revealed great confidence.
"Why?"
The generals couldn't figure it out, and their faces were full of doubts.
Cao Cao enjoyed this feeling that everyone was drunk and I was sober, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed out without hesitation: "The big war is coming, Lu Bu and I are not fools, whether it is day or night, the precautionary measures will definitely not fall." If the sergeant in the camp is dozing off in a daze, and there is no figure moving, it is very likely that the enemy is being deceived, and now there are soldiers vigilant patrolling, which is a normal phenomenon. ”
"So I dare to assert that the soldiers of the Lu army will not know that I am coming to attack the camp tonight!" Cao Cao closed the coffin and set a big flag for himself.
According to normal logical thinking, if the soldiers of the Lu army knew in advance that they were going to attack the camp, they would definitely set up a trap to lure the king into the urn, instead of vigilantly guarding the surroundings.
After such a deduction, the generals suddenly realized, said that they had learned another hand, and they all bowed their hands and worshipped: "The lord is wise, and my generation is not as good as it!" ”
Then, Cao Cao lowered his head and squatted on the ground to make a division of troops with everyone.
"Later, let's march in three ways, Miaocai, you take a thousand soldiers to outflank from the left flank, and Wen Ze, you take a thousand soldiers to surround from the right flank. The rest of the men followed me into the camp from the front, first setting fire to it, then killing people! ”
Surprisingly winning, the emphasis is on catching him off guard, it is best to kill a few of his generals and strategists, cut off Lu Bu's right arm first, and when he comes back, he is in a mess and can't cry.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't wait to see Lu Bu's tragic appearance when he came back.
Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and the others nodded in response, their eyes flashing with excitement and bloodlust in the dark night.
Anyone who has fought knows that human beings in panic do not have the slightest combat power to speak of.
Not to mention that they have thousands of people here, even a few hundred, it is estimated that if they rush in, they can make the Lu army's camp jump.
After giving the order, Cao Cao assigned his soldiers to Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban, and then turned over and waved his hand.
Let's go!
When he saw the light of the fire lit up in the Lu military camp, Cao Cao on horseback did not hesitate and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Sons, meritorious service is today, rush with me!" ”
"Roar!"
Under the leadership of the lord, the soldiers behind him roared angrily and were high-spirited.
The sound of horses' hooves came and alarmed the night watchmen.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The soldiers in the camp ran in all directions, shouting loudly and ringing gongs to warn them.
Seeing this, Cao Cao affirmed his thoughts even more.
He quickly whipped his horse and rushed into the camp of the Lu army as fast as he could, beckoned the soldiers behind him, and threw the torches in his hands to the tent of the cloth curtain, blowing along the evening breeze, igniting a raging fire.
Within a moment, the entire Lu army camp was filled with fire, illuminating the entire night sky.
If this trend continues, Cao Cao will not need to do it himself, and most of the soldiers of the Lu army will be burned to death.
But who is Cao Cao?
How can we turn a blind eye to such a great time?
He pulled out the sword at his waist with a choked sound, his face was full of conceit, and he shouted loudly: "Sons, the time has come to reap the merits, raise the knives in your hands and kill me fiercely!" How many kills, this battle, the merit is doubled! ”
As the commander-in-chief, Cao Cao had extremely decisive decision-making power. The opportunity is fleeting, and before Lu Bujun can react, it is the time for them to kill and kill!
The soldiers of the Cao army are boiling!
Double the merit, isn't that killing one the same as killing two?
Everyone became extremely excited, and they rushed forward to kill, under the bright light of the fire, looking for the soldiers of the Lu army who fled in embarrassment.
Soon, however, they were disappointed and even strange.
For no soldier fled from the tent in a hurry, nor did he hear the cry of pain burned by the fire.
With such a big fire, even if you sleep to death, it is impossible not to react in the slightest!
Unless......
There was no one in the tent at all!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's back broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't know if his reaction was slow at this time, he only prayed in his heart over and over again, hoping that this was just his own overthinking!
However, when he had the idea of retreating, the soldiers charging in front finally reacted.
Different from the imaginary picture of killing the soldiers of the Lu army, the cavalry under Cao Cao was constantly falling off their horses.
Woo Woo Woo ~ Woo Woo Woo ~ In the darkness, the arrows broke through the air and shot at the Cao soldiers who were rushing in the firelight, precise and fierce.
Cao Cao looked in the direction where the arrow was coming, a pair of small eyes above the bridge of his nose suddenly widened, and the focus in the pupils of his eyes contracted rapidly.
Not far from the afterglow of the fire, a row of archers lined up drew their bows and strings, and there were countless frost blades on either side.
Behind the crossbowmen, there were dozens of well-armed cavalry soldiers, and in the center sat a dashing and handsome young man, with a smile on the face of a white fox rarely seen in the world.
"Cao Mengde, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
The young man's tone was very brisk, with a hint of cat and mouse banter.
It was also the news he deliberately released before, luring Cao Cao to attack.
Whining~~
As the young man's voice landed, a low horn was remembered in the camp.
Kill!
Kill!
The earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and countless soldiers of the Lu army armed with spears and blades emerged from all directions, trapping Cao Cao and the others in the center.
"Lord, we've been tricked."
Xu Chu Weng muffled his voice, holding a huge ghost slashing knife, guarding Cao Cao's left and right.
Even Xu Zhu could see what Cao Cao certainly understood the current situation.
It can really be said that being smart is mistaken by being smart.
He was still complacent before, but he didn't expect that all this had already fallen into the calculations of others.
"Zhongkang, you protect the lord to withdraw first, and I will hold off the enemy after the break!" Under the firelight, Cao Hong, whose face was flushed, clenched the Pu knife in his hand and said loudly to Xu Zhu in a resolute tone.
Xu Zhu didn't say much, 'hmm' was a response, from the moment the enemy army came out, they had already fallen into passivity, and the first thing to ensure was the safety of the life of the lord Cao Cao.
"Lord, let's withdraw first!"
Damn it!
Seeing the soldiers constantly being hit by arrows and falling off their horses, Cao Cao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared, these are the elites he has worked so hard to cultivate!
You must know that the cost of cultivating a cavalry is far more than ten times that of a cavalry.
Today's way of dying made Cao Cao's heart bleed.
But Cao Cao also knew that now was not the time for his mother-in-law to hesitate, and he had to get out of this dangerous situation quickly.
"Zilian, you must come back alive!"
Before leaving, Cao Cao shouted at Cao Hong.
Cao Hong waved his sword, slashed down the two Lu soldiers who rushed up, turned around and showed a reckless smile, and replied loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely come back alive before his brother's victory!" ”
After that, Cao Hong resolutely turned his body, and did not forget to roar while fighting: "Erlang, who is not afraid of death, follow me to meet the enemy, and let the thieves see the majesty of my Yanzhou soldiers!" ”
Hearing Cao Hong's encouragement, the soldiers of the Cao army, who were originally in a mess, quickly moved closer to him and blocked the soldiers who wanted to pursue Cao Cao.
"Abandon the car to protect the handsome?"
Seeing the situation here, Guo Jia muttered playfully, and in addition to banter, there was more appreciation on his face. is worthy of being a hero-level character, when he is broken, he will be broken, and he will not drag the mud and water.
But if you think that you can escape from Ascension in this way, then you are underestimating Guo someone.
The corners of his mouth curled, and his pupils reflected the roars of the soldiers on both sides.
On the other side, the thousand cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan were ambushed before they could outflank them from the left flank.
The roads were full of fences and horses that stopped the cavalry.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Lu army who had been in ambush came out, the huge stump was shaved sharply, and three or five soldiers carried it in their arms, and slammed into the belly of the war horse.
Once hit, the war horse will definitely die.
This trick is ruthless!
Xiahou Yuan gasped, at this moment, the fire in the camp of the Lu army was full of fire, and there was a lot of commotion, and the shouts of killing were shocking. Xiahou Yuan mistakenly thought that the lord's plan had succeeded, and he was overjoyed at the moment and launched a forcible advance.
So, the two sides scuffled together.
Because the horses were blocked by the fence, Xiahou Yuan rushed from the left flank to respond to Cao Cao, and refused to turn around and find another direction, so that the greatest advantage of the cavalry was weakened, and the two or three thousand foot soldiers who were ambushed here were only on par with each other.
However, not long after, a soldier of Cao who escaped from the camp risked his life to come to report, saying that our army was planning and the lord was retreating justly.
Xiahou Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and rushed to protect the lord.
"Thief, leave!"
At this time, a coquettish cry sounded.
Xiahou Yuan looked over, and with the help of the ignited fire, he could see the appearance of the enemy general clearly. It's just that he never thought that the one who called the war would be a little girl.
The expression on Xiahou Yuan's face was stunned.
But looking at this little girl's dress, it is majestic.
The little girl was dressed in a light black red-edged unicorn armor, a nephrite belt around her waist, and a small court boot with a dark satin foundation under her feet, riding on the back of a tall and mighty horse, holding a weak wooden halberd in her hand.
In addition, above her heroic eyebrows, she also wore a dark gold plaster that wrapped around her forehead, binding the jet-black hair on her forehead to the sides.
On the right side of the headdress, two short red feathers are bent vertically, revealing a hint of delicacy in the brightness.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at this equipment, it is not an ordinary person.
"Grandma, come back quickly, don't get involved at this time!"
Sima Yi, who was in charge of directing the ambush, shouted in the back, and for the first time on his indifferent face, he showed a wry smile, only to feel that his brain hurt badly.
When the troops were divided, Chen Gong repeatedly ordered that no one was allowed to bring Lu Qiling and Lu Xiao with him.
If something goes wrong, none of them can afford it.
At that time, everyone also nodded.
Chen Gong's words are still in his ears, but Sima Yi is bitter in his heart! After the meeting ended, the little bell ran to pester himself, Brother Sima, Brother Sima's shouting was so sweet, in the end he couldn't help it, and secretly brought the little bell with him.
Prior to this, Sima Yi and Little Bell had three chapters.
First, you are only allowed to watch the battle honestly;
second, not to leave his line of sight;
Third, it is not allowed to kill the enemy in person.
The little bell agreed without any doubts, but Sima Yi never expected that when this little girl saw that the enemy wanted to withdraw, she couldn't hold back the aggressiveness in her heart, and wanted to go up and fight with others on horseback.
This can make Sima Yi anxious, if the little bell has a good one, with Lu Bu's temper, his Sima family will come to an end.
snatched a war horse from the side, Sima Yi turned over and rode on, and chased away.
