1249 Rainy night attack on the camp
Mo Qianxun's biggest worry is that Cao Pi is going to take a strong attack, after all, this is an army of nearly 300,000, and it is still unknown whether he can hold the city.
I am afraid that Cao Pi will divide his troops again, one side will be entangled with Xiangyang, and the other side will attack Yiling, then the end and end will not be connected, and the lips will be cold and the teeth will be cold. Since he was so worried in his heart, why did Mo Qianxun not take any action during the period when Cao Pi staged a farce siege strategy? In fact, I was waiting for one thing, and that was the weather changing.
As the biggest strategist by Wang Baoyu's side, and also a dignified lieutenant who holds military power, he doesn't know the right time and place to fight with soldiers, isn't it a waste of Captain Mo's name?
Before setting off from Yiling, Wang Baoyu called the manager and asked him to predict the victory or defeat, and by the way, calculate the time of day.
Guan Tong guΓ² estimated and informed Wang Baoyu that the battle of Cao Pi Xiangyang could not be won, and as for the time, it was sunny in recent days, and there was only a heavy rain half a month later.
After that, Wang Baoyu told SΓΉ Mo Qianxun this information and asked him to make a reference. Although Mo Qianxun believed in Guan Qian's ability to tell the hexagram, he almost did everything he said, but he also understood that no matter how good the hexagram was, if it was just a fluke, it would eventually fail.
When Mo Qianxun had not yet entered Xiangyang City, he arranged for Fan Jinqiang and Ma Yunlu's soldiers and horses, quietly waiting for the arrival of the rainy night, and taking advantage of the slack defense of the Wei soldiers to surprise Cao Pi's marching camp.
pinched his fingers and calculated, it had been more than half a month, but it had not rained for a long time, which made Mo Qianxun think that Guan Qian had miscalculated. Cao Pi's 300,000 army was eyeing the city, which made Mo Qianxun more and more uneasy, just as he was about to inform Fan Jinqiang and Ma Yunlu to send troops to disrupt Cao Pi's camp, this day was dusk, overcast clouds, covering the sunset, and a heavy rain finally arrived.
"Steward, it's really a man of God!" Mo Qianxun was overjoyed, and finally stopped treating the little pipe as a child, this kid has a future!
Mo Qianxun rushed to the field and ordered: "General Tian, prepare the army, we will launch a counterattack against Cao Pi tonight!" β
Tian Ye is waiting for this sentence, these days can make him feel aggrieved, as a dignified general, he is not afraid of Cao Zun at all, he has long wanted to go out of the city and shoot Cao Zun to death. It's just that Mo Qianhiro resolutely disagrees, and Tian Ye can only be bored in charge of guarding work.
"The last general obeyed the order and decided to take Cao Pi's head." The field is full of confidence.
"Baoyu has long said that Cao Pi cannot be killed, and the general only needs to drive him away from Xiangyang." Mo Qianxun admonished.
When marching on a rainy night, it is necessary to prepare more rainproof hats, but fortunately, there is no shortage of materials in Xiangyang, and Ma Yunlu also brought a lot from Yiling. It's just that Fan Jinqiang and Wang Baochuan suffered, and the rainproof materials were insufficient, but this did not affect Fan Jinqiang's confidence in defeating Cao Pi.
The thunder roared, the heavy rain came as scheduled, the rain was huge, the sky and the earth were white, and it was impossible to distinguish the southeast and northwest.
Wang Baoyu stood on the Hanzhang Tower, looking at the lightning and thunder in the direction of Xiangyang, hehe Zhile, presumably Cao Pi was going to be poured into a soup chicken tonight! Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, Wang Baoyu was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, but his chest trembled in shock, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
It's not a little girl, how can she be scared like this by a thunderbolt? Maybe he was tired recently, Wang Baoyu comforted himself and went back to rest, but he couldn't sleep anyway. Could it be that the war has changed? However, Wang Baoyu has deployed the strategy over and over again in his mind, but he still doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, and his mood is a little irritable.
Besides, Cao Zun, attacked for several days in a row, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the soldiers were drenched, and their eyes were beaten by the rain and couldn't open them.
Cao Pi looked at the heavy rain pouring outside, frowning, he was going to storm Xiangyang tonight, but the heavy rain was lost.
"Saint, the rain is so heavy and the thunder is more frequent than in previous years, so Xiangyang must be underprepared, so it is better to launch a strong attack." Liu Ye braved the rain to build a road, but the rain soaked his clothes and made him sneeze.
Cao Pi subconsciously covered his nose and waved his hand: "It's raining so heavily, I don't know the direction of the march, so it's not too late to wait for the rain to stop tomorrow and then attack." β
"Holy Lord, Xiangyang also has this trouble, don't miss the opportunity!" Liu Ye said.
"If the army is drenched in the rain, I am afraid of getting sick, and the doctor has not fully recovered before, so it is better to go back to rest first, and be careful of getting sick again." Cao Pi said thoughtfully and thoughtfully, meaning that he was very resolute and could not send troops.
Liu Ye could only retreat, but he was inexplicably panicked in his heart, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.
Although it was a rainy night, the defense could not be slackened for a moment, and Cao Hong arranged many soldiers to watch the main roads of the camp. It's just that it was raining heavily this night, and the soldiers couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and the huge sound of rain also drowned out other sounds, and they were so cold that they hugged their arms and complained.
Fan Jinqiang saw the heavy rain pouring down, led the men and horses of his headquarters, and moved towards the Wei camp from the north road in the rain, and Ma Yunlu also activated the army and went straight to Cao Pi's camp from the south road.
At the time of the second watch, the general Tian Ye led an army of 30,000, dressed in a cloak and a hat, and went out from the east gate. The horse's hooves treading water were mixed with the sound of the rain, and Cao Pi's army didn't even notice it, thinking that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
In the middle of the night, the rain weakened slightly, and Cao Pi had just laid down at this time, and he hadn't closed his eyes yet, thinking that when the rain was a little lighter, he would take Liu Ye's strategy and launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang.
It's just that before he could figure it out, he heard a commotion outside the tent, and at the same time, the guards hurriedly ran in and said, "Back to the saint, the Jingzhou army has come to rob the camp." β
Cao Pi hurriedly got up and asked in surprise, "How many soldiers and horses are coming?" β
"I can't see how many people and horses, the southwest and north are surrounded on three sides, and the sound of killing is shocking." The guard said.
Cao Pi dressed and hurried out of the tent, only to see the shouts of capturing Cao Pi alive from all sides, southwest and north, and the flames were soaring to the sky.
"Why don't you see us lighting up our torches to meet the enemy?" Cao Pi was puzzled.
"The torches were all extinguished by the rain." The guard said.
"Why aren't you afraid of rain when the enemy fire?" Cao Pi said.
"My subordinates don't know."
"Holy Lord, the enemy army is strong, evacuate quickly." Cao Hong rushed over in the rain and said.
"General Zilian, why can the enemy fire be lit in the rain? Could it be that Wang Baoyu did not abide by the rules and used witchcraft. Cao Pi was still struggling with the torch.
"Shengshang, this is not the case, first there was the Battle of Xinye, and then there was the Battle of Fancheng, Wang Baoyu used this kind of grease that can be burned in water, so that our army was defeated." Cao Hongdao.
"Oh, I haven't counted Wang Baoyu's house!" Cao Pi said with great annoyance, this person is really elusive and unguardable.
