Xun You received a mess.

It's a terrible mess.

The rear has been under sneak attack, and they are very difficult.

The number of casualties in the rear gradually increased, and a lot of grain and grass were burned, so it could not last long.

Keep going, and morale will crumble.

Xun You estimated that only Zhang Ming could do this, and they had a magical army that could continue to harass in the rear.

Until now, Xun You has not thought of a way to deal with it.

Xun You didn't know that they were using airlift, and only thought that a small army had infiltrated it.

Therefore, Xun You began to plan the second set of plans.

In case Cao Cao did not agree to withdraw the troops, or if the news could not be delivered in time, then they would have to have a second plan.

The second plan is to organize troops into the mountains, find their nests, and destroy their supply lines.

With so many troops, to go to the rear, they must need food and grass.

Few people can eat wild fruits and hunt.

It is unrealistic to have more people, and someone must provide stable food and grass.

Therefore, Xun You was ready to send someone into the mountains to find it.

He found Xiahou Yuan.

"General Xiahou, you find a few troops, a team of three thousand people, you need at least five, look for them from these directions, you must find the enemy's lair, destroy them, or drive them away completely."

Xiahou Yuan took the order and went to arrange it immediately.

He personally led a detachment of soldiers and horses, and handed over the rest to the other generals, and immediately took a few days' worth of dry food, and then went into the mountains.

The army marched into the mountains.

The situation in the mountains was complicated, and they immediately found traces of many people's activities.

There are also many ambushes.

The special detachment arranged many ambushes in the mountains, some of which had been used and some had not been used, and were destroyed by Cao Jun at this time.

Cao Jun found a large number of traces of human activity.

And the special detachment, they immediately retreated after discovering that the enemy had entered the mountains.

Zhang Ming didn't allow them to fight hard.

Zhao Yun, who was in command, immediately received the news.

"Dare to go into the mountains, this will definitely be your nightmare."

"Gather the squads back."

Zhao Yun was happy, someone actually wanted to go into the mountain to find them.

Two hours later, the crowd arrived.

"The lord trained us in mountain warfare, we haven't used it much, and we can use it today."

Zhao Yun glanced around and said, "Today, we will teach Cao Jun how to be a person." ”

Everyone was very excited, after training for so long, it was finally usable.

"Now, divided into two groups, one group of about 300 people, 300 people, in the mountains, it is enough to deal with 3,000 people."

"First, draw them into the depths, and then keep harassing them from all directions, killing and wounding their army."

"Especially at night, it will be their nightmare."

"Now start to disperse the action."

Zhao Yun gave the order, and a few minutes later, the two teams dispersed.

First of all, they have to attract the enemy first, leaving traces for them to track.

Two groups, each attracting an army to pursue them.

Of course, they couldn't chase after them, but they finally found the enemy, so they kept pursuing.

Cao Jun dared to pursue because he judged that the number of enemies was not large, and it was difficult to supply logistics when they ran to the rear, so there must not be many people.

Not many people?

There were indeed not many people, Zhang Ming only sent 680 people, Zhao Yun divided 600 people, and led 80 people to deal with emergencies.

When Cao's army entered the mountain, sure enough, Zhang Ming's army did not attack them again.

It gave them a rare sense of peace.

The continuous attacks and harassment caused huge losses and dealt a major blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Xun You was a little relieved, but he still insisted on withdrawing his troops.

"Strategist, if we destroy the enemy's lair, we can keep defending and blocking Zhang Ming's army, so that Yanzhou can be safe." Xiahoudun said to Xun You.

Xun You had already planned to withdraw his troops, which made Xiahoudun very unwilling, and giving up the entire Yanzhou was not what he hoped for.

"As a last resort, we can't afford to consume it, and the amount of grain and grass consumed by staying in this mountain for a day is unimaginable."

Grain and grass are brought in, and the people on the road need to eat, and if the speed is slow, there will be more food.

For example, if you recruit 10,000 people to transport grain and grass, you can eat most of the grain and grass on the way, and when you go back, you have to send a bag of grain to each person, so that they can eat enough on the way.

Therefore, in general, eighty percent of the grain and grass transported over long distances need to be consumed on the road, and only two percent actually reach the front battlefield.

In this way, the war is fought with logistics, and the fight is attrition.

Only then did the soldiers and horses move, and the grain and grass went first.

In ancient times, it was too difficult to transport grain and grass by manpower.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the consumption of grain and grass naturally increases.

Therefore, Xun You judged that they would not last long.

Now going south, it is even more difficult to consume a large amount of grain and grass.

If it weren't for Cao Ang's strong ability and planting a large amount of grain and grass, they might have gone bankrupt.

Therefore, Xun You said: "The lord may agree to withdraw the army, and we can't last long here." ”

Xiahoudun had no choice but to carry out the order.

Many people know about this, and some troops have quietly begun to prepare.

And the army into the mountains.

"Chase, they're over there."

"Chase, don't worry about ambushes, be careful."

Xiahou Yuan's people were also attracted to the past, and he personally led people to pursue.

"Pay attention ahead, the enemy has a bow and crossbow, pay attention to protect with a shield."

Those in front have one-handed shields.

The army pursued quickly.

This chase lasted more than two hours, and the special forces in front turned around from time to time to shoot to stop them from advancing.

continued to pursue, and by noon, Xiahou Yuan had to let people stop and rest.

After a long day of pursuit, they didn't know where they had gone.

At this point, they lost more than a dozen people.

Xiahou Yuan held his breath and asked the soldiers to walk slowly and continue the pursuit.

In the afternoon, the pursuit continued, but the enemy seemed to have gone away, and they followed the trail all the way up.

I haven't been lost, and I can always see the traces left by the enemy in front of me.

Continuing the pursuit, they were to find the enemy's lair and destroy their logistical supplies.

I walked for another half day, and during this half day, I didn't see the enemy, but I could see the traces they left.

Song Chen was ordered to lead this group.

He called all the squad leaders, and said, "It's almost night, you can start working, and when we get rid of them, we'll continue to attack their food delivery team." ”

Song Chen arranged, dispersed the attack, attacked from all directions.

And to attract the enemy apart.

In the mountains, once they are separated, it is tantamount to perdition.

Song Chen began to assign tasks.

"Remember, even if you attract the enemy to a distance and kill them, you must keep in touch, you can't leave the team, and after you go out, you must return to the team immediately after finishing your work."

The captains said they understood, and then moved on.

The action begins.

Xiahou Yuan's army marched normally, and suddenly an army rushed out from the side, and they only had more than thirty people, and attacked them.

More than 30 arrows attacked, killing and wounding more than a dozen of them.

"Over there, chase after it."

When they were about to pursue, the enemy also appeared in other directions and attacked them, causing them to lose dozens of men at once.

Xiahou Yuan and the others were taken aback and hurriedly prepared.

"Attention, you, take your men up in pursuit."

Xiahou Yuan pointed to a centurion and said.

The centurion immediately rushed forward with men, some of whom had shields, and guarded carefully.

All around, there are enemies, and they make noise from time to time.

A cold arrow is being released, but after preparation, the lethality is not strong.

A team of 100 people chased out for about two miles, and suddenly many people appeared next to them.

They disguise themselves with leaves, etc., and when they appear, they immediately attack with bows and crossbows.

Suddenly, more than 30 people were killed and wounded.

"Kill."

Before Cao Jun could react, the special team killed him.

Soon, the hundred-man team was wiped out.

After killing people, the team leader said: "Disguise Cao Jun and kill a wave in the past." ”

Simply put on their clothes and bring their bows and crossbows, and they walked towards Cao's army.

Cao Jun, when he saw movement in the jungle and his own clothes, he couldn't see people clearly.

They weren't much prepared.

Approaching, suddenly, everyone flashed their bows and crossbows.

"It's not good, it's the enemy."

By this time it was too late, and the squad began to attack.

After a wave of bows and crossbows, immediately retreat, absolutely not left.

In other directions, a wave of attacks was also carried out at the same time.

This wave of attacks cost them more than a hundred people.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized the danger, those hundred people must have died when they went out.

is indeed dead, was attacked by a sneak attack, and is facing a murderous special forces.

"All together, protected on all sides by shields."

Xiahou Yuan ordered.

There's no way to get around together?

No.

It was slowly getting dark.

The special forces are equipped with flashlights and miner's lamps.

"Prepare the big guy."

Several special forces brought porcelain bottles with gasoline in them, which they intended to light and throw into the crowd.

"Ready."

More than a dozen porcelain bottles have been prepared, and the mouth of the bottle is corked with cotton wool.

Take out a lighter and light it.

"Throw."

The porcelain vase was thrown out.

Some exploded in the crowd.

Suddenly, the crowd exploded.

Fragments of porcelain vases hurt people, and gasoline was poured on people, igniting fires.

"It's on fire."

"Ah,"

"It hurts, it hurts."

Suddenly, there was a scream, the soldiers exploded, and immediately ran away in the darkness.

That's dangerous.

Suddenly, the silent hunt began.

Many special forces attacked.

Start assassinating the enemy.

In the panic, many people did not know how to die, and the soldiers did not know that any of them had been killed, so they continued to run.

Special forces are attacking everywhere.

Many soldiers ran out of order.

It's messed up, it's alone, it's almost death.

"Come back, don't run around."

"Don't run around."

Xiahou Yuan knew that it was broken.

However, the soldiers scattered in all directions, and in the darkness they would go astray.

Xiahou Yuan just shouted a few times.

A few more porcelain bottles were thrown over, bringing fire.

His voice gave the special forces direction.

Suddenly, the gathered soldiers ran into confusion again.

The hunt begins.

There are many ways for the special forces to separate them and kill them slowly.

Don't rush, take your time.

No one can run.

Half an hour later, there were not a few people left around Xiahou Yuan, there were only hundreds of people left.

"Let's go, go back overnight."

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to stay and continued to run.

But how do they run in the dark?

They can't run away, they are not familiar with the road, and in the dark, they are no match for the special forces.

Hunting, continuous hunting.

And it's a silent hunt.

Sometimes the screams of the soldiers can be heard, and sometimes they can't even scream.

Xiahou Yuan kept running with people, some were killed and some were left behind.

"Run, scatter and run, count a few if you can go back."

Xiahou Yuan knew that if they got together again, they would attract all the firepower, and they would be surrounded and annihilated in the end.

So, they scattered and ran.

A massacre began.

Special forces with night vision devices, as well as flashlights and miner's lamps, have been chasing them.

The hunt continues, and few people escape.

Xiahou Yuan was lucky, fled into the dense jungle, and then ran forward desperately.

He used a one-handed shield to block the branches full of money, and ran wildly all the way.

He had to leave the soldier behind, because in the darkness he was no different from the other soldiers, just waiting to be killed.

Xiahou Yuan finally ran back.

But none of his soldiers returned.

Xiahou Yuan was covered with wounds, which were scratched by tree branches.

He went back to Xun You to report.

"How so? Are they heavenly soldiers? ”

Xun You was extremely surprised, looking at the miserable Xiahou Yuan and didn't know what to say.

Xiahou Yuan said: "They smashed them with bottles and cans, exploded in the middle of us, and when the soldiers dispersed, they couldn't gather, and finally they slowly killed them all." ”

Xun Yu closed his eyes and sighed and said, "Other armies are also difficult. ”

Indeed, on that night, a force of three thousand men was annihilated.

Suffering this major blow, it was even more difficult for Xun You.

This news can't be hidden, because there are sporadic soldiers running out, and Lu Bu has already received the news.

"Hmph, blame me for not being able to do it at the beginning, you died even worse."

Lu Bu doesn't care at all now, he can do whatever he likes.

Five armies went in, and half of them were wiped out.

Two were destroyed, and the remaining two were harassed, and the casualties were not small.

They hurriedly withdrew.

This time, all the dead and wounded were added up to more than the previous total.

In the past, there were dozens of casualties at a time, but a lot of grain and grass were burned.

In this way, Xun You does not dare to fight casually now.

"Strategist, it's better for us to gather the grain and grass and send soldiers to escort them carefully." A general said.

"Hey, it's a long way to stay in custody, and if they throw that kind of clay pot with fire again, the loss will be huge."

Xun You did not dare to concentrate on escorting grain and grass, he would be ambushed, and the loss would be too great at that time.

Therefore, we can only continue to send a small amount of grain and grass over again.

In this way, there will be constant attacks, but there will be no devastating losses.

Xun You was waiting, and he wrote another letter to Cao Cao, asking for a retreat.

In the next few days, Zhao Yun continued to harass them.

Zhang Ming sent out the remaining hundreds of special forces, and came back with a new batch, so that other people could also train the troops.

For several days, dozens of attacks were carried out every day.

Some of them have results, some have no results, and in general, they can still kill hundreds of them and burn some grain and grass.

A few days later, Cao Cao received the letter and immediately had a headache.

"Cao Ren, it's better."

After receiving the letter, Cao Cao immediately went to Cao Ren.

"It's much better, I've taken the medicine, and I'm already able to fall asleep."

Cao Cao nodded and handed him Xun You's letter.

"This Zhang Ming established a small special army in the early years, this army is very strong and good at assassination, if this is attacked in the rear, it is indeed very difficult to deal with, we may be assassinated by this army this time."

Cao Ren said after reading the letter.
