Chapter 692: Stealing chickens doesn't make rice

Seeing that there was no one in the tent of the people's soldiers, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be surprised.

Not good, in ambush!

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Zhang Liao shouted, immediately turned the horse's head, and ran out.

At this time, the 5,000 cavalry led by Zhang Liao had all entered Guan Yu's military tent.

At this time, Zhang Liao discovered that there were antler barricades in many places in the barracks.

Their cavalry could not move unhindered at all.

It was unrealistic to want to go directly through the barracks, so Zhang Liao had to choose to lead the army to retreat the way it came.

A group of cavalry had just arrived at the gate of the barracks, when a rain of arrows came at them.

Since Zhang Liao's cavalry held torches in their hands in order to recognize the way, they were in a bright place.

And the archers in the shadows, after Zhang Liao's five thousand cavalry rushed into the barracks, quickly arrived and were in the dark.

Zhang Liao's cavalry shot from the darkness to the light, the target was too obvious, even if he closed his eyes, he didn't worry about missing the shot.

And Zhang Liao's cavalry couldn't see the arrows from the shadows at all.

All they could hear was the frightening sound of bows and arrows whizzing, and when the arrows actually appeared in their sight and were caught by their sight, it was too late to dodge.

Therefore, after this round of arrow rain, a large number of Zhang Liao's cavalry suddenly fell.

Zhang Liao suddenly shouted loudly: "Quick, everyone dismount, extinguish the torches, block with horses, and rush out!" ”

I have to say that Zhang Liao's response was very quick and extremely decisive.

If they don't throw away the torches, they will always be in the spot, and they will be living targets.

And now, they have no idea how many archers of the people's soldiers are out there.

And now they don't know at all what kind of ambush the people's soldiers outside have arranged.

Riding a horse and rushing hard outward is definitely not the best option.

Therefore, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to extinguish the torches as soon as possible.

After extinguishing the torches, their vision suddenly changed from light to darkness, and it was definitely difficult to adapt for a while.

To make matters worse, there were no torches at night, and the horses could not charge at all.

It was for this reason that Zhang Liao very decisively ordered all the soldiers to dismount.

Then use the horses to block the bows and arrows that come from the shadows.

In this way, they will lose their horses and lose the charging power of their cavalry.

But now they are not trying to charge and kill the enemy, but they are caught in the encirclement of the enemy, and it is not clear at all that the enemy's numbers are still strong.

In this case, of course, the first priority is to protect yourself as much as possible.

Because they are all in the dark, they are also invisible.

The archers of the People's Soldiers stopped shooting after firing two rounds of arrows by impression.

Because they found that most of the effects of these two rounds of bow and arrow shooting were on the horses, and the effect did not seem to be very good!

The next moment-

Disheveled!

Thousands of pieces of firewood that had been soaked in oil for days were thrown over, and Zhang Liao's team was overturned by the sudden incident.

Next, they were greeted by another rain of arrows!

"Quick! Put out all the fires, put out all the fires! ”

Just when Zhang Liao led the soldiers to extinguish the fire, he suddenly saw countless boulders falling from the sky!

Disheveled! Disheveled! Disheveled!

Countless boulders fell from the sky, smashed into people, and smashed directly into pulp!

Not to mention people, even if the horse is smashed in the middle, it will be smashed into pulp.

For a time, Zhang Liao's raiding team screamed again and again, and suffered heavy losses.

Such a scene, Zhang Liao's eyes were about to crack!

Damn, they even used catapults!

No, they have to break out, and if they continue like this, I'm afraid they will all have to be explained here.

"Kill! Rush out with General Ben! ”

Zhang Liao shouted loudly and led the soldiers to rush out quickly.

They were greeted by a rain of arrows and stones thrown by catapults.

Almost every step they took out, there were soldiers screaming and falling.

……

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Cao, who was in the distance, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh when he heard the earth-shattering sound of fighting here.

But he didn't laugh long before he stopped, because Cao Cao sensed that something was wrong.

Hey? Isn't that right?

Obviously, Zhang Liao led the cavalry into Guan Yu's military camp to rush and kill, and they should have been killed and scattered and fled.

But if you analyze the sound from the scene, it doesn't seem to be like that!

Also, why didn't Zhang Liao set the fire?

The fire at the scene only flashed a few times, and then went out?

This shouldn't be!

And the sound of bang, bang, how does it sound so much like the sound of a catapult?

Catapults?

Obediently knocked, Cao Cao finally thought of something wrong.

Zhang Liao led the cavalry to attack the camp, of course, it was impossible to go with the catapult.

And the sound of catapults at the scene can only show one thing.

That is, this catapult belonged to Guan Yu, and they had prepared it in advance.

Even if it is a new catapult, launching requires a certain amount of skill.

It's late at night, if not prepared in advance.

It's impossible for you to push this thing out in the middle of the night, prepare the rocks, and launch it in the dark.

It can only be said that people have prepared it in advance.

Thinking of this question, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel angry back molars.

Huo, they still want to attack the camp at night without knowing it! I didn't expect that people would have been ready for a long time, so they were waiting for themselves to take the bait!

It's all his cavalry!

Although his family has a big business, the entire Han Dynasty is full of battles, and the number of cavalry is only 30,000.

And what Zhang Liao brought over was a full 5,000 cavalry!

That's one-sixth of all his cavalry!

No, you can't let all these cavalrymen confess here!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't bear it, waved his big hand, and hurriedly said: "The whole army is attacking, and the cavalry must be rescued!" ”

Of course, the whole army attack here is not the 100,000 army brought by Cao Cao.

It's impossible to do that at night.

This whole army was Cao Cao's 30,000 troops that had prepared in advance to ambush and attack Guan Yu's army.

Originally, this team was ready to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos, but now it is obvious that it will not work.

The 30,000-strong army, lit up the torches, quickly rushed to the battlefield to rescue the 5,000 cavalry who had been surrounded—well, there are certainly no 5,000 now, and I don't know how many are left.

However, these 30,000 troops had just made their moves, and they were immediately ambushed!

They were greeted either by arrows or stones.

Either that, or it's an unstoppable trap.

The 30,000-strong army had just advanced three miles before many soldiers were killed or wounded.

The angry Cao Cao gritted his back molars.
