Chapter 1124: Caught on the Road
Winter nights are quiet and cold.
After the army was stationed, the Qin army and the tiger guards found the best terrain and set up camps, but the soldiers of the Cao army who walked in front of the Qin army had to sleep in the cold wilderness because they had already lost their baggage.
Surrounded by groups of three or five, lying or sitting in the wilderness, the eyes of many Cao soldiers stayed on the tents set up by the Qin army not far away.
Camping in the wilderness, with tents and without tents, are completely different concepts, not to mention the Qin army's tiger guards, in addition to tents, the army also carries covers.
In the cold night, there are tents and warm bunks to shelter the evening breeze, just thinking about it, the soldiers of the Cao army have a burst of jealousy in their hearts.
When the army was stationed, Zhao Yun simply explained to Xu Shu and Xu Chu to pay attention to the vigilance at night, and asked the tiger guards to send them two tents and covers, and then returned to the tent.
Zhao Yuncai lifted the curtain and smiled at the person sitting in the tent.
Gao Ran, who was sitting in the tent, saw him turn back, and quickly stood up and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Will they have a problem tonight? ”
"If you walk forward for a day or two, you will enter the Great Qin Realm!" Walking up to Gao Lan, Zhao Yun lowered his voice and whispered to him, "Once they enter Great Qin, do they still have a chance to turn back?" ”
was asked by Zhao Yun rhetorically, Gao Ran was stunned, nodded, and said nothing.
"The general can rest in a tent for the time being, and be vigilant at night, I'm afraid there will be a fight tonight!" Gently slapped Gao Ran's arm twice, Zhao Yun commanded, and then walked to the low table and blew out the white candle on the table.
In the barracks of the Qin army's tiger guards, all the tents were dark, and the barracks suddenly fell into a state of tranquility, only the braziers lit at intervals in the barracks and the occasional patrol soldiers who walked through the barracks indicated that this was a camp with thousands of people.
The soldiers of the Qin army who slept in the tent had the shelter of the tent, and the evening wind could not cause any invasion to them at all, while the soldiers of the Cao army who were sleeping in the open field were shivering one by one, and it was difficult to sleep.
The soldiers of the Cao Army under Xu Huang almost couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, while the soldiers under Xu Chu were lying straight one by one, as if the cold couldn't affect them at all.
He got a tent with Xu Chu, and when Xu Huang got into the tent, his own soldiers had already laid a cover for him.
When the soldiers who had helped him lay the bedding saw him enter the tent, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted him, and then withdrew.
"Wait!" The soldiers were about to lift the curtain when Xu Huang said to him: "The tent is too small to allow many people to enter, so you will rest here tonight, without a cover, and spend the night on the ground!" ”
Hearing Xu Huang say that he wanted him to rest in the tent, the soldiers were suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down with their fists and said to Xu Huang: "Thank you for the general's love!" ”
Although there is no cover in the tent, and at night, the cold ground will still make him shiver from the cold, but having a tent to shield the night wind is always much better than sleeping outside.
Xu Huang's move is undoubtedly a great grace to the soldiers.
Nodding to the soldiers, Xu Huang walked to the side of the bunk and stood by the bunk to untie his armor.
The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and very diligently helped him remove his armor and place it on the wooden frame beside him.
Waving his hand to the soldier, Xu Huang got into the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, and sighed very comfortably.
After fighting with the Qin army's tiger guards for days, all the baggage was lost, and he and Xu Chu's tents and bedding didn't know where they were lost.
For many days, he has been sleeping in the wilderness and entering the bedding, Xu Huang only feels that there is nothing in this world, which is more comfortable than sleeping and getting into the bed.
The soldiers who were left in the tent by Xu Huang saw him lying down, but did not take off his own armor, but wore his armor and lay down near the tent curtain.
There would still be some cold wind pouring into the tent, but these cold winds were completely different from those in the wilderness outside, and the soldiers also turned over comfortably and closed their eyes.
Xu Huang, who got into the bed, didn't take long to make a snoring sound, and the soldiers lying near the tent curtain were also asleep.
They didn't know that when they had already fallen asleep, more than a dozen people had gathered in Xu Chu's tent.
Sitting with more than a dozen officers under his command, Xu Chu lowered his voice and said to the officers: "The Qin army has already rested, Xu Huang is also asleep at this time, and in a few moments, I can start later!" ”
"General!" As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, an officer whispered: "The number of our army is not large, if General Xu is subdued, the number of people will not have any advantage over the Qin army, I am afraid that this battle will be more auspicious!" ”
"Scared?" The officer said such courageous words, which immediately provoked Xu Chu's anger, he furrowed his brows, glared at the officer in the dark tent viciously, and asked coldly.
It was dark inside the tent, and the officer couldn't see Xu Chu's expression clearly, but he could see the glowing eyes in the dark.
was asked coldly by Xu Chu, and the officer hurriedly replied: "The villain is not afraid, he just wants to say that if you want to do it, you must do it as soon as possible, so as not to make the Qin army on guard!" ”
The officer's speech turned around quickly, and Xu Chu, who had already been angered, was a little less angry after listening to his explanation, and said to everyone in the tent: "I have received more grace from Cao Gong and turned my back on Cao Gong, how can I be at peace in my heart?" ”
Xu Chu said a word and lowered everyone's head.
When Xu Huang persuaded Xu Chu, some of them even secretly rejoiced that they finally didn't have to fight with the Qin army's tiger guards and could save their lives for the time being.
When Xu Chu summoned them to the tent and discussed taking advantage of the night to first restrain Xu Huang and then launch a surprise attack on the Qin army's military camp, most of them felt inexplicably panicked instead of excited.
The combat power of the Tiger Benwei is really too strong, and with the same number of people, the Cao army has no possibility of victory at all.
However, Xu Chu also told everyone that at this time, the Qin army had already stopped, and it was difficult to form an effective counterattack even if their combat strength was strong, in a hurry.
Even if they couldn't annihilate the Qin army, they would still be able to snatch the horses and return to Xudu at that time.
Xu Chu's words undoubtedly reassured the officers under his command, and the officers who were not optimistic about this battle only had a little bit of confidence until this time.
"Let's go!" stood up, walked to the tent curtain, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, glanced outside, and saw that the night was already thick, Xu Chu beckoned to the officers in the tent, and lowered his voice to greet him.
The officers got up one after another and followed Xu Chu out of the tent.
Everyone got out of the tent, the officers dispersed, and Xu Chu strode to the tent where Xu Huang was resting.
Outside Xu Huang's tent, there were two soldiers in charge of guarding, seeing Xu Chu coming over, the two soldiers bowed to him with their fists in their hands, and one of them asked: "General Xu has rested, does the general have important matters that need to be done by the villain?" ”
"Without him, just investigate the barracks!" Swinging his hand at the two soldiers, Xu Chu made it look like he was going to walk over.
Maintaining a posture of clenching their fists and bowing, the two soldiers bowed their heads and greeted Xu Chu.
Just as he walked past the two soldiers, Xu Chu suddenly stopped, pulled out the long sword at his waist, slashed left and right two consecutive swords, and slashed the two soldiers to the ground.
The two soldiers guarding outside Xu Huang's tent didn't even react to what was happening, and they were knocked to the ground.
When the two soldiers fell to the ground, a group of Cao soldiers immediately jumped out of the darkness and got into Xu Huang's tent.
Seeing a group of Cao soldiers rushing into Xu Huang's tent, Xu Chu frowned tightly, waiting for the soldiers to pull Xu Huang out of the tent.
But he didn't wait for Xu Huang to be pulled out, the soldiers rushed into the tent, and soon they all got out, and the officer who led the group of soldiers clasped his fists and said to Xu Chu: "General Qiyu, General Xu is not in the tent!" ”
Hearing that Xu Huang was not in the tent, Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "It's not good, I'm waiting for the plan!" ”
"Good Xu Chu, you dare to take advantage of the night to plot against General Ben!" As soon as Xu Chu shouted, Xu Huang's voice came from behind him: "If it weren't for General Zhao to come and tell him, General Ben would have been on your way tonight!" ”
Hearing Xu Huang speak, Xu Chu turned around violently, glared angrily at Xu Huang, who had already put on a fighting posture with a group of Cao troops, and shouted to him: "I will make you a dog thief who sells for glory, today is there you or not, I have you without you!" ”
Shouting, Xu Chu was already holding a long sword and rushed towards Xu Huang in a vertical stride.
Just as Xu Chu rushed towards Xu Huang, a horn suddenly sounded from the Qin army's barracks, and he didn't sleep at night at all, and the Huben guards, who had been waiting for the sudden changes in the Cao army's barracks, came out of the tent one after another and pounced towards the place where the Cao army was stationed.
In the Cao army camp, those Cao army soldiers who followed Xu Chu to attack and kill Xu Huang first, and then raid the Qin army, saw Hu Benwei rushing up, and their own Tongze also raised their blades one after another and pressed towards them, many of them threw their blades on the ground, held their heads in their hands, and knelt down.
Cao Jun, who had already been killed by the Qin army, was expecting to take advantage of the night to suddenly attack the Qin army, but he didn't expect to fall for someone else's strategy, and they all panicked, and more and more people dropped their weapons, and seeing that the battle didn't need to be started at all, the curtain had already been drawn.
The soldiers under his command dropped their weapons one after another, and Xu Chu, who was about to rush to Xu Huang's approach, also stopped, and looked around in astonishment.
He only thought that he could sneak attack the Qin army at night, but he didn't expect that the soldiers under his command had already been killed and cold, and once the battle situation was unfavorable, they would completely lose the courage to fight.
