Zhou Yu is the kind of person who refuses to suffer, and this time he was played a little, although his face was still light and light, and he didn't seem to care, but he was still a little depressed in his heart.

However, this is not how awkward he is in his chest, he wants to get this breath back, Zhou Yu's mind is not so narrow. But at this time, he was still looking forward to what kind of expression would appear on the other party's face when the enemy who had deflated him was captured later.

There are only 5,000 people, and if nothing else, the enemy army is a dish in front of his tens of thousands of troops, and the army can eat whatever it wants.

Although the time for the army to conquer Xuchang was delayed for several days because of this mere 5,000 men, the final result would not change. Xuchang was conquered by the self-army and became the step for his lord Sun Jian to step into the world, which will be the only ending that will happen in the future.

At this moment, Zhou Yu believes so.

However, God seems to have always liked to disobey people's wishes, and Zhou Yu was still complacent, but then fell into a state of difficulty again.

In front of us is a dense mountain forest, although the area is not particularly large, but it can barely squeeze 40,000 or 50,000 people.

There is a cloud in the art of war: "Don't enter the forest." ”

Like this kind of mountain forest, it is best to arrange ambush soldiers, plus it is late at night, and the surrounding area is so dark that it is difficult to see the five fingers, if there is really an ambush in the forest, then my own army rashly enters, I am afraid that there will be no benefit at all, but will lose many horses in vain.

Zhou Yu is a little uncertain in his heart now? Will Cao's reinforcements really only have 5,000 people? Did they hide most of the men and horses in this mountain forest before nightfall, and then wait until late at night to let a small part of the men and horses go to harass the camp of the own army, induce the self-army to pursue the other party, and then take advantage of the situation to introduce the self-army into this mountain forest, and kill them in one fell swoop.

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.

It is not impossible for 5,000 people to rush to the aid of this Xuchang city to make suspicious soldiers to delay the pace of the self-army attacking the city. But if this is the case, why should the other party constantly harass his own army at night and make his soldiers suffer from sleep?

You know, such a bad behavior is likely to provoke the anger of the own army, so that the commander decides to send troops directly to recruit them. After all, staying up all night is not a difficult task for these soldiers, but if they have to spend the whole night in that tense and panicked atmosphere, the consequences will be much more serious, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the morale of the army and other factors. In the face of such a despicable act, sending troops to fight and strive to seize the initiative is really a normal move, and the opposing coach should not think of this possibility.

If the other party really only has 5,000 people, then how can they survive in the face of the situation of their own army? If the other side really only had 5,000 men, how could its commander risk the anger of his own army and harass him so tirelessly and repeatedly at night?

Everything seems to boil down to three words: there is a conspiracy!

Well, it must be so. This must be the other side's plan to lure the enemy, first arousing the anger of the self-army through a small number of troops, the purpose is to lure the self-army into this mountain forest for ambush.

In this way, the fact that there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses outside Cao's camp is absolutely reasonable. The five thousand men were only responsible for luring themselves, and the army had already left the camp before nightfall and entered this mountain forest to set up an ambush, and after a long time, its traces naturally faded.

As for the question of why Cao Cao could still send a large army back to help when Yuan Cao was confronting, it was no longer a problem. The situation on the battlefield is changing, who knows what happened there in Guandu?

In this way, because of this mountain forest, Zhou Yu overturned the correct answer he had previously reached, and made a new inference. And the more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the conclusion he had deduced now was accurate.

"Gong Jin, do you want to chase in?" Sun Jian on the side asked Zhou Yudao. Obviously, in front of this mountain forest, Sun Jian also had some concerns.

No way, who told this mountain forest to be located in the right place, and it seems so suitable for ambush formation.

Facing Sun Jian's question, Zhou Yu looked embarrassed, advance or retreat? Is this a difficult question to decide?

advance, may be ambushed and suffer heavy losses.

Retreat, after this night of continuous tossing, but returned empty-handed, the army is afraid that no longer expect to have any military morale to attack the city and kill the enemy, and then there may only be one way to retreat.

Just when Zhou Yu was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting: "Oh no, the camp seems to be on fire!" ”

What the! Hearing the soldier's call, everyone immediately looked back.

The blazing fire rose all over the sky, and the direction of the fire was Sun Jianjun's camp!

"Not good!" Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something, and his face changed rapidly.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce and others were also shocked, the camp caught fire, it must have been robbed!

But who robbed the camp? It stands to reason that Cao's reinforcements should be in the mountains and forests in front of them at this time.

"It must be the defenders of the city." Zhou Yu only pondered for a moment, and then said hatefully.

At this moment, the only ones who can rob the camp of the self-army are the defenders in Xuchang City.

Damn, could it be that they saw the opportunity for their troops to leave the camp, so they took action? Zhou Yu only felt that he had been completely designed by the other party, and his mood was very dull.

The reinforcements continued to harass the army at night was the first step, and then luring the army out of the camp to ambush the second step, and after he led the army away, the defenders in the city seized the opportunity to rob the camp and slaughter all the remaining forces left in the camp, which was the last step.

One ring after another, the rings are tightly linked, in order to slaughter Sun Jianjun, it is really a good scheming and calculating!

But how did the reinforcements from outside the city get in touch with the defenders inside the city? I have always sent scouts to keep an eye on the situation of the gates of Xuchang City, and I haven't seen anyone coming in or out.

However, this is no longer a problem to be considered now, the key now is that the camp was robbed, and his own group must be rescued immediately.

Now there are less than 3,000 people left in the Jiangdong camp to guard, led by Sun Jian's veteran Han Dang and his second son Sun Quan.

"Gong Jin, why don't we abandon the big camp first and try to capture Xuchang City?" Unlike Zhou Yu's melancholy face, Sun Ce on the side suddenly had a whimsical idea. Since the defenders of Xuchang City went out of the city to rob the camp, the guardian force in the city must be weakened, and they can rob the camp at night, so why can't the self-army attack the city at night? And in this way, maybe it can also have the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, so as to successfully get rid of the crisis of the robbery of the camp.

When Zhou Yu heard this, although he was initially moved, this heartbeat was quickly suppressed.

It's difficult, it's too difficult, not to mention how many people are left in the city to defend the city, just the act of attacking the city at night is extremely dangerous. Moreover, if after the self-army launched the siege of the city, the Cao army who was ambushed in the mountains and forests and the Cao army who returned to save the city after robbing the camp gathered together and attacked the rear of the self-army together, the situation would really be nine deaths.

"Let's go to the rescue camp first." Zhou Yu shook his head and denied Sun Ce's proposal.

"Oh." Seeing that Zhou Yu did not adopt his suggestion, Sun Ce did not argue, since Zhou Yu denied it, it must be explained that his proposal was wrong, this is the trust between their brothers.

————————————————————————————————

The robbery of the camp went smoothly, but in less than half an hour, this Jiangdong Army camp was almost controlled by the Cao army.

The situation was so smooth that Yu Ban, the commander of this camp robbery force, was also very surprised. He was ordered to come to rob the camp, and he thought that he would encounter a fierce battle, but he never thought that it would be within reach.

The proposal to rob the camp was put forward by Jia Xu, and the reason for it was Gao Shun's tireless harassment of Sun Jianjun's camp before.

The suspicious tactics of the reinforcements were concealed not only from Zhou Yu, but also from the strategists in Xuchang City, including Jia Xu and Xun Yu.

Although it is difficult to find out the situation in the reinforcement camp in the city, Jia Xu judged that the support army is estimated to be 30,000 or 40,000 based on the amount of cooking smoke.

Although the reinforcements did not enter the city, they could better restrain the enemy army outside the city, which made the soldiers of the Cao army, who had been tense and desperately defending the city, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After nightfall, leaving a small group of soldiers to continue to pay attention to the movements outside the city, the other soldiers went to rest one after another.

However, before they could fall asleep, they suddenly heard shouts of murder outside the city. At that moment, these soldiers were so frightened that they immediately climbed out of the bed, picked up their weapons, climbed the tower, and prepared for battle.

The sound advocated by Gao Shun's people was not only heard clearly by Sun Jianjun, but also in Xuchang City, after all, the two sides were not too far apart.

Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others looked surprised, could it be that Sun Jianjun was preparing to break the cauldron and attack the city at night? Aren't they afraid of the tens of thousands of Cao troops on their side?

Although Xun Yu sent people to guard the city, it was just just in case, he and the others didn't think that Sun Jianjun really dared to start a night battle, after all, tens of thousands of Cao troops were camped on the side. If Sun Jianjun was really so bold and reckless, then Cao Jun would attack him while he was besieging the city, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the containment of tens of thousands of Cao troops, Sun Jian's army did not attack the city during the day and launched a night battle, did they dare?

But if not, what is the matter with this earth-shattering sound?

Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others climbed the city tower with anxiety, but when they arrived at the city tower to take a look, they found that no one attacked the city.

Under the cover of night, it was not clear to observe the situation in the distance, and he could only see from afar that Sun Jian's camp seemed to be mobilizing troops.

It doesn't make sense, the drums of war have beaten a few times, but the troops have not been assembled yet? This is not a mistake that names like Sun Jian and Zhou Yu will make.

Jia Xu deserves to be called a poisoner, but when he thought about it a little on the city tower, he deduced most of the cause and effect.

These movements must have been made by Cao Jun outside the city, and it is estimated that they are tired of the army.

As Jia Xu expected, Gao Shun's two subsequent harassments also proved his guess.

Seeing this situation, Jia Xu's mind became a little lively.

The Cao army's camp was to the north of Sun Jian's army's camp, and such repeated harassment would definitely make Sun Jian's army concentrate most of its attention and garrison on the north side of the camp to prevent accidents. In this way, there is a high probability that the southern guards will become slackened, and they may be able to take advantage of it.

If he sent a part of his men and horses to raid Sun Jian's camp from the south......

Of course, it is not enough to rely on these people and horses, even if Sun Jian's military camp is inevitably weakly garrisoned, once it is attacked, with the quality of his army, he will definitely be able to react immediately and make adjustments in time. But now the situation is favorable to the self-army, and Cao Cao's reinforcements are still waiting to the north of Sun Jian's army. The self-army raided Sun Jian's camp, and even if Sun Jian's army was well-trained, it would definitely panic at the beginning. As soon as this panic appeared, the Cao army in the north might seize the opportunity to attack the camp in one fell swoop, forming a two-sided attack with himself.

In this way, Sun Jian's army will be defeated!

Like Zhou Yu, Jia Xu also mistakenly believed that Cao Cao was in command of the camp in the middle of the camp. Jia Xu was undoubtedly convinced of Cao Cao's ability, and he firmly believed that Cao Cao would definitely seize that trace of the fighter.

So Jia Xu did not hesitate to offer advice to Xun Yu and others and express his thoughts.

After all, Xun Yu is still the main player in Xuchang City, and Jia Xu's status is low, so he still needs to report if he has ideas in his heart.

Xun Yu thought about it for a while, then agreed to Jia Xu's suggestion, and ordered Yu Ban to lead 8,000 troops to attack the south of Sun Jian's army camp.
