Chapter 163: Exposed
At this time, it was late at night, and Gao Shun felt a little sleepy, but he still forced himself to suppress his fatigue and commanded the five hundred people behind him to make every effort to make a loud noise.
Yes, at this time, Gao Shun only brought 500 people, and he was constantly beating drums a few miles away from Sun Jianjun's camp to create momentum.
If 500 people want to get together and make noise, the effect is amazing.
At least the noise is so noisy that the enemy can't sleep, that's more than enough.
These five hundred people, when Gao Shun came up with this tired plan in the afternoon, he selected them to rest for a while, so as to recharge for the evening's operation. So their spirit is good now, and they are working hard one by one.
Every once in a while, Gao Shun asked this team to bring Sun Jianjun an unexpected surprise, and I don't know what the situation is in Sun Jianjun's place now, maybe those Jiangdong soldiers have been scared and dare not sleep.
Gao Shun secretly fantasized about all kinds of tragic situations in Sun Jianjun's camp, and he couldn't stop laughing evilly.
This strategy is another time and space, Zhuge Liang used a strategy against Cao Cao during the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang continued to harass Cao Cao's camp at night, and finally caused Cao Cao's entire army to be depressed, and he had no choice but to retreat.
Afterwards, Zhuge Liang laughed at Cao Cao's ignorance of tricks, in fact, this was a bit of schadenfreude. If Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao are in another position, and Cao Cao will harass him, Zhuge Liang may not dare to sleep in the camp with peace of mind. After all, life is at stake, even if you know that the other party may just be playing tricks on yourself, but who really dares to gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under him as a guarantee?
Now Gao Shun couldn't help but be happy when he thought of Sun Jian's entire army yawning one after another with dark circles under his eyes tomorrow. Although this strategy could not cause actual damage to Sun Jianjun, it could at least cause them mental fatigue.
It's just a sleepless night, but you have to accept this kind of fright at any time and keep on alert at all times, so that tomorrow Sun Jian's army is destined to be listless, it is estimated that Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and others want to attack, and most of the soldiers have no intention of fighting.
Gao Shun snickered as he thought.
However, only halfway through the laughter, Gao Shun's smile suddenly came to an abrupt end. I saw that the scout who was originally sent out by him to observe the situation of Sun Jianjun in front of him was running towards Gao Shun in a hurry at this time, and he almost tripped and stumbled because he ran too quickly.
Seeing the other party's anxious behavior, Gao Shun felt a hint of ominous meaning in his heart.
Could it be that Sun Jianjun really doesn't care? Sleeping with your head covered? If that's the case, what should you do and take your own 5,000 men to do a real robbery?
That seems to be very difficult, even if Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and the others really indulge their soldiers to rest, but the basic defense in the camp will definitely not fall. His own 5,000 people went to rob Sun Jian's camp, and it seemed that it was very likely to be a self-defeating act.
"Big, big things are not good!" The scout's voice was very frightened, "Sun Jian's army is out and is coming towards us!" ”
When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately felt that his brain was "buzzing".
How so! It seems that during the battle of Hanzhong, the strength of the Cao army was no worse than that of the Shu army, why did he Zhuge Liang harass Cao Cao more than a dozen times, Cao Cao just knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, and suffered the tragedy silently alone. But I just harassed you Sun Jian three times, why can't you stand sending troops to fight me to the death, don't bring such a play!
Gao Shun was very depressed, why did Zhuge Liang use the same strategy, and the effect was so unsatisfactory when he used it.
In addition to being depressed, Gao Shun was more panicked in his heart, knowing that Sun Jian's army was 50,000, and if he really killed them together, no matter what he thought, he would only have a tragedy.
Escape!
At this time, we must make a decision immediately, the so-called 36 plans are the best plan, and we must flee when it is time to escape.
According to the scout's report, Sun Jianjun had just left the camp, and it was still too late to escape. But if you hesitate a little, when Sun Jian's army approaches, your own army can't escape if you want to.
Although the number of this support army is small, once it is destroyed, Xuchang City will have nothing to rely on!
Gao Shun quickly evacuated with the 500 people in charge of harassment, and entered the barracks as quickly as possible to wake up all the sleeping reinforcement soldiers, and then hurriedly withdrew from the camp.
The reinforcements withdrew on the front foot, and Sun Jianjun's back foot had already chased outside the camp gate of the reinforcement barracks. If Gao Shun led the army to retreat a little slower, it is estimated that he would really not be able to escape.
Zhou Yu and the others came to the camp gate, but found that the entire military camp seemed to be empty. Fearing fraud, Zhou Yu sent several groups of soldiers into the camp to investigate the situation, but was finally told that it was an empty camp.
"What? Empty camp! Zhou Yu couldn't help but wonder about this result. This doesn't make sense, Cao Jun retreated at this time, so he naturally discovered the movement of his own army early. In terms of combat strength, Cao's army should be no less than its own army, so when the number of people is equal and they are prepared, do they have a reason to retreat without a fight?
Doubts are doubts, and Zhou Yu finally entered the camp.
Sure enough, the camp was empty, leaving only a lone tent standing in place.
It was not difficult to find out the direction of the withdrawal of reinforcements, and the departure of a large army would inevitably leave traces on the ground, even if it was the middle of the night, and it would be easy for a specially trained scout to detect them.
"What, you said that the number of soldiers leaving the battalion should not exceed five thousand?" After listening to the scout's report, Zhou Yu was obviously taken aback.
Judging by the scouts' traces on the ground, the number of soldiers who had just evacuated from this tent was only five thousand at most.
Five thousand, how can it be so few?
However, Zhou Yu's surprise was only a matter of a moment, and soon he figured everything out.
Yes, how could the war in Guandu in the north come to an end so quickly? There seems to be little possibility of peace between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. In this way, if Cao Cao wanted to send reinforcements to Xuchang, the number of 5,000 people was estimated to be the limit of what he could muster.
It seems that the commander of this support army is a little capable, and as soon as he arrived in Xuchang, he implemented a series of suspicious tactics, so that the self-army did not dare to make any moves.
Unexpectedly, he was actually played by the other party this time, Zhou Yu laughed self-deprecatingly. He began to take an interest in the commander of this support army, and although he could not be called perfect, there were really not many people who could make himself suffer. What kind of person is that commander, who can make himself deflated?
Gao Shun was wonderfully remembered by Zhou Yu, although the person who offered the suspicious plan was Guo Jia.
But no matter how capable you are, so what? In the face of the strong military strength of our army, it is not only a way to escape with the tail between it.
If Zhou Yu was hesitant to attack at the beginning, now in his opinion, this move is really correct.
"Chase!" Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and ordered directly.
