Chapter 1569: The Battle of Xuzhou (166)
The sky suddenly thundered, the wind was raging, and the pouring rain was even more ensuing, Chen Gong was relieved and showed a satisfied smile, the folk have been dizzy since ancient times, and the wind at noon said, but this is just a folk saying, whether there is rain tonight, Chen Gong does not dare to guarantee, so he did not dare to tell the two of them what he was going to do early in the morning, just make some preparations first, if it does not rain on time tonight, then the sneak attack will end without a problem, but if it really rains, then he will make a decision to attack Cao Ying.
After attacking the camp for three days in a row, and setting up camp after Cao Cao retreated, a normal sneak attack would definitely suffer from the prepared Cao army, but tonight's rain has become their best cover, and the rain is far more violent than Chen Gong expected, so Cao Cao will definitely not believe that they will come in the rain tonight, but how can Chen Gong let them sleep well?
"Okay, two generals, attack Cao Ying again tonight, I look forward to a smooth triumph for the two of you!" Chen Gong said to the two generals around him, although it was a blessing, but this was completely an order, and I have to say that the two of them were completely in a state of blindfold at this moment.
Staring at Chen Gong in disbelief, he couldn't tell whether he was looking at monsters or celestial beings in his eyes, but one thing was certain, that is, worship and admiration and even some fear, from his tone, coupled with today's performance, it was enough to show that Chen Gong knew that there was rain tonight, if these didn't mean anything, then the soldiers and the robes and hats prepared in front of them were enough to prove everything.
This is not a simple few dozens, but thousands, although I don't know when he started to prepare, but looking for it now, it will definitely not attract so many pieces, so both of them came to a conclusion, that is, Chen Gong knew that there was rain tonight early in the morning, and made a plan to continue the night attack on Cao Ying. Now the two of them looked at him with a tongue-in-cheek look, Rao is the two of them are well-informed, but the ability to call the wind and rain like this is too amazing for the two of them.
Chen Gong wouldn't explain to the two of them how he called for wind and rain and how he could accurately predict that there would be rain tonight, how did you ask him to explain the phenomenon of sunshine and rain? He only knows it, but he doesn't know why.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, accompanied by pouring rain, all the way to the black, torches and other lighting materials could not be used at all, and even the camp of the Cao army was pitch black, but it was precisely because of this dark environment that tonight's attack became a complete massacre.
This time, Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng each brought a thousand people, but they were all infantry, because the night environment was obviously expected by Chen Gong early in the morning, so it was not wise to send cavalry to steal the camp again, in the dark and rainy night, but the infantry was different, it was more convenient to move, and it was easier to hide by night.
In such a dark night, Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng successfully entered the Cao camp with his troops, and in the dark night, there was no one to see at all, in this case, the attack could not find the target at all, and the first two days could still be attacked with fire, but now it is pouring rain, and the fire attack is not feasible at all, and this is obviously not taken into account by Chen Gong.
But fortunately, the two generals that Chen Gong relies on are not marionettes, they will do what Chen Gong asks them to do, but when they really get to the battlefield, they will make the most suitable choice according to the situation on the field, just like at this moment, if there is no general with command ability, they will inevitably be dumbfounded and don't know how to start, but Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng can make the most suitable way according to the form.
With the help of thunder and lightning, the moment the thunder and lightning shine, it will illuminate the surroundings, at this time, the Pei County army will swing the knife and slash at the enemy army who is not wearing a coat with a hat, and after the lightning disappears, it will quickly hide its figure, and under such an attack, the Pei County army actually found that in the dark chaos, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun actually began to attack each other.
Thinking that the purpose of the Peixian army is clear, as long as they wear a hat, even if they are enemies, they will not attack, but any soldier who does not wear a hat, that is, he will cut when he sees it, and he will be merciless, it is under such circumstances that Cao Jun and Yuan Shaojun almost suffered a devastating blow this night, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and the blood and rain accumulated a small river.
Overnight, the Cao Yuan coalition army that was really killed by the Peixian army was only a few thousand, but as many as five or six thousand died in the hands of their own people because of their own attacks.
And in the rainy night, the large siege equipment in the camp was completely destroyed in the north, and even the most ordinary ladder was not spared, although the destruction of the ladder seemed to be useless, as long as the Cao Yuan coalition army was willing, the current woodcutter could make it again, but Zhang Liao still did not let go, as for the other nest car siege vehicles, etc., were directly destroyed.
Such a devastating blow made Cao Cao's mood completely heavy, if the huge loss of more than 5,000 people killed overnight was the reason for one thing, then the large-scale siege equipment he brought from Xu Du was not as close to the production as the ladder, if it was some ordinary small county town, it might be no problem to attack the city by attacking some new ladders, but Pei County was such a large city, and there were no large-scale siege equipment that could not be broken before, and now it can't be relied on the ladder?
Cao Cao, who was patrolling the camp, looked at some of the wounded soldiers, especially those who were depressed and demoralized, and his mood became heavier and heavier.
This scene, let alone him, almost everyone began to lose confidence in attacking Pei County, and even in the hearts of some people, not to mention the high city wall of Pei County for the time being, as far as the current situation is concerned, maybe there will be any moths tonight.
I was scared, I was deeply afraid, in the past, it was a difficult night to attack the city during the day, but now every soldier, what I am most afraid of in my heart is that night falls, and this is obviously one of the reasons that affect the morale of the army the most.
Of course, there are many reasons why Cao Cao has the most headache now, that is, how can the Peixian army, which is not sticking to the Peixian castle, attack? Will the camp be attacked at night?

"General Zhang, there is a book from Xuzhou Flying Pigeon!"
In the Tobu County Guardhouse, a fast horse galloped over, and the flying pigeon passed the book directly to Tobu after flying to Langya.
Although the flying pigeon is fast, but the pigeon is just going back and forth between familiar locations, just like Xuzhou is not Langya, then this batch of flying pigeons have to fly from Xuzhou to Langya, and Langya to Dongwu but there is no flying pigeon to arrive, so it can only rely on the traditional herald to come quickly.
Zhang Fei, who had just returned from the frontline battlefield, planned to enjoy the wine and feast on the three armies, but he didn't expect to receive such a piece of news, how could he have time to announce the news, and directly met the messenger from Langya in the conference hall.
Zhang Fei arrived in the conference hall almost at the same time as the messenger, in the brightly lit and lit conference hall, the messenger presented the content of the flying pigeon to Zhang Fei, and the moment he saw the content, Zhang Fei was directly stunned, and the few people who came with Zhang Fei were all standing on one side, not knowing why.
After a long time, Zhang Fei smiled, but it was more like crying, there was no appearance of a big victory at all, it stands to reason that at this time, Zhang Fei should be happy, and will tell the messenger the news of the big victory, so that he can send it back to Xuzhou, but Zhang Fei's abnormal performance is enough to show that the content of the letter must have a lot of articles, and even not very good news.
"We made a big mistake, alas!" After a long time, Zhang Fei sighed regretfully, how good it would be if we launched another attack on the enemy tomorrow. Zhang Fei, who saw the content, knew that this battle had been fought a day earlier, but Zong Kou and others, who had not seen the content, obviously did not know what Zhang Fei's words meant.
Looking at the confused few people, Zhang Fei suddenly came to his senses, and handed over the note of only a few words in the letter to a few people to read, and after reading it, they all showed the same wry smile as Zhang Fei, indeed, I knew this situation, and the money would not be what it is today after tomorrow, without so many scruples, they can give it a go, and it won't be so difficult.
Zong Kou stood up at this time and said with a wry smile: "Since everyone knows the content of the letter, let's talk about it, what should I do?" ”
This sentence should be said by Zhang Fei logically, but Zong Kou also knows that Zhang Fei will definitely not say anything, he must still say something, pursue directly, and after entering Donglai, the Qian bandit army will be the one, so Zong Kou will take the lead.
After all, this is sudden news, not to mention the major events after everyone discusses together, but they have to express their opinions and talk about what happened after entering Donglai, as for the pursuit of the bandits, in fact, they are not so eager.
As soon as Zong Kou's words fell, Zhang Fei stood up: "What else is there to say, gather their troops now, pursue Houqian, and be sure to catch up with Houqian's bandit army in Jimo."
Zong Kou was about to cry, he was afraid of anything, he was afraid that Zhang Fei would lead the troops to chase him regardless of it, but now it seems that he is about to cry, all his efforts have been in vain, and even because he understands Zhang Fei, as long as he speaks, there is nothing to change.
Zong Kou was almost desperate, Zhang Ping still wanted to say something, but Zhang Fei's face changed, just now he was still kind and pleasant, and he became a little fierce in an instant, looking at the several generals under the account, and said: "I have decided, don't wait for a few words, otherwise don't blame me for implementing military law." ”
Well, let's get ready to gather troops. The moment a few people thought like this in their hearts, they saw Zhang Fei wave his hand, "Let's all go down and get ready to go!" ”
