The weather is getting warmer, especially in Yuzhou, which is in the south of the Central Plains, but the night is a little cool after all, and the bonfire emits a dim light, reflecting the shadow of a few Yanzhou soldiers who rub their hands in front of the camp and watch the night on the reinforced wall, they whisper those rural rumors with vulgar meanings, and from time to time there are a few suppressed laughs.

The camp under the forbidden camp is very orderly, and the north side is leaning on a mountain seventy or eighty steps high, and the mountain wall is densely wooded and not allowed to be walked, and it is difficult for the soldiers and horses to hide even if they are foot soldiers to attack down from the mountain. The forests of the Central Plains are tall and thin, but the canopies are so dense that even a bow and crossbow cannot penetrate - Yu Ban himself climbed the mountain and tried, even a strong crossbow could not be shot into the camp from sixty paces away.

There is a road from east to west under the mountain, and the west is the main road for the Yan army to attack, and four sentry posts are deployed along the way, and there are several soldiers on duty; The east side is the main road that communicates with Chengwu City, and there is a northward interlude on the road, but if you want to reach the Yan army camp, you have to pass through three valleys, and scattered sentry posts are also placed on one side of the valley.

During this time, the camp was strengthened many times by Yu Ban, from the simple camp that boosted morale at the beginning to the entrenched camp of the long-lasting confrontation today, with trenches, horses, wooden fences, and antlers. One was because of the night attack on the Yan camp to successfully prevent a sneak attack; Once because Li Dian and Le Jin took Zhang Liao to the south.

Chengwu is a small city, even in Jiyin County, it is not strong and majestic, facing Yanbei has brought great pressure to Cao Ren, and now Zhang Liao, who has come to Yanyu, surrounded them in the middle, and a single city is almost a dead end.

Rather than the city being besieged to death, Yu Ban would rather let his camp become bait. If the enemy army wants to attack the army, it must first break through the camp under the mountain, otherwise the besieging soldiers and horses will not be able to fight for a long time; If you want to attack the camp under the mountain, you can only attack with a small army, and Yu Ban can level the enemy's absolute superiority to the same level as himself, and then defeat them with his elite military qualities.

There is a road from east to west of the camp, there are mountains in the north, there are no fields around it, only mountains, the army can not spread out the battle on the forest road, and the sharp weapons of the siege of the city and the village cannot advance quickly on the road full of traps.

It's been a long time since Yu Banxiang fought hard with the old generals of the Lu clan under the north of Yan!

Many years ago, when the coalition army conscripted Dong Zhuo, Yu was banned under Bao Xin's subordinates, and Bao Xin was defeated in the battle of Xuanmen Pass; Lü Bu attacked Bao Xin's camp at night, and they were defeated, and finally relied on Yanbei to meet Lü Bu in exchange for the captured Bao Xin.

The original alliance was fought in the same room ten years later, but these people who fought the war have not changed.

Over the years, Yu Ban has fought in the south and north under Cao Cao's subordinates, and his exploits have accumulated more and more, but when he thinks of the fiasco in his early years, he is always eager to compete with Lu Buzhu's generals again, and now is his opportunity. The reason why he was defeated by Lu Bu that year was because of the courage of Lu Bu's generals, and because Cao Jun and Bao Jun were both new soldiers and could not obey orders in the tragic battle. But now it's different, Yu Wenze's subordinates are all vigorous and tough veterans, and the generals of the Lu clan have the tactics of beating and rushing...... Work!

"What's that?"

In the forest next to the official road on the west side of the camp, Yu Ban's sentry sentry squinted his eyes at the camp enclosed by the wooden fence and looked at the official road, saw several black shadows fanning, and carefully pushed the sleeping comrade on his side, towards the official road. As soon as the scout opened his eyes, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and was about to shout when he was covered by the night robe, "Don't scream, there are a lot of people!" ”

The sound of dense footsteps, the heavy sound of horses' hooves, they couldn't hear anyone talking, a dozen scouts tried to keep their eyes open, but they could only see the crowds of black figures on the official road haunting the forest like ghosts and hurrying away, they knew very well that this was an army, but this army marched in the dark night without even firing torches!

"It sounds like there are very few cavalry, what should I do?"

The scouts did not dare to shout rashly, because this army did not have torches, and when they found out, they were already approaching, so that they missed the best news of the enemy's situation, so they could only send a few scouts with a sharp body and no night blindness to report to the camp to the east from the darkness of the forest, otherwise in the event of a conflict, none of them would survive without saying anything, and the news would not be transmitted to the camp...... This is still far from the camp, and even if there is a fight, the sound cannot be heard.

It's just that who is faster and who can arrive first from the forest and the official road can only be known by the sky.

Passing in front of them were Wei Xu's soldiers and horses, and there were not many cavalry under him, half of them, but his horses were all wrapped in sackcloth, and there was only a muffled sound when they stepped on the ground. The reason why the hooves of some horses are not wrapped is to guide the way in the night with military sounds. Those who didn't have the hooves of the horses were the Yulin cavalry he asked for from the northern part of Yan, or the Yan Zhao warriors in the past, they were proficient in night warfare, even if they couldn't see their fingers, they still had good eyesight and could see the direction of the road clearly.

At intervals in the marching column, there were feathered forests riding horses to lead the way, and the blind foot soldiers behind them carried weapons and supported the shoulders of their predecessors.

Wei Xu had previously been attacked by Yu Ban and had previously breached the camp and killed his confidant lieutenant, and his revenge ended the next day and was discovered by Yu Ban scouts here. Wei Xu knew that there were always scouts in the forest at night, but he had no way to break Yu Ban's defenses, so he could only get past the scouts in this way. He didn't need to kill the scouts, he didn't need to find them, he just had to make sure his men and horses were faster than the scouts.

Indeed, they were quicker than the scouts in the woods, and soon they crossed the heavy sentry posts and saw the light of the campfire at the entrance of the camp in the distance.

"Let the soldiers light the fire, light the torches, and prepare the oil to rush over." Seeing that it was only more than a thousand paces away, Wei Xu stopped the army, took a deep breath and pointed to the camp not far away: "The foot soldiers attack first, tear off the antlers of the horse rejecting the horse, grab the gate of the village, and the rest spread out on both sides to kill and set fire, making way for the cavalry." Wait for the cavalry to run over the bloody road, follow closely through the enemy camp, kill to the east to the walled gate, and then use the infantry as the vanguard to counterattack back! ”

No one agreed, only the military marquis and general of clasped their fists and nodded, turned their horses back and whispered orders to their subordinates, and after the formation was adjusted for a moment, hundreds of torches were slowly raised, and the infantry of the brigade marched silently and forcefully towards the camp.

Pull out the antlers and grab the gate...... It's a good idea.

Seeing that the foot soldiers were about to advance to a hundred steps outside the gate of the village, the pit that had been dug long ago could not support the weight of dozens of people and collapsed, and the dense wooden thorns stabbed a team of foot soldiers into a string in a blink of an eye, and the smashed oil cans and torches were ignited at the bottom of the pit, and the terrified shouts penetrated the night.

In Wei Xu's eyes, there was a ball of fire.
