Chapter 18: Night Attack

At night, the sky is beautiful, the sky is dark, and you can't see your fingers. Huangfu Song was very satisfied when he looked at the sky, turned his head to look at Cheng Pu and said directly: General Cheng, let's go.

"Yes", Cheng Pu agreed, and set off with the black army behind him. Huangfu Song and Xun You stood at the head of the city and watched the troops advance. Turning his head to look at Xun You, he said: The success or failure of the land of Yingchuan depends on the result tonight. Xun You nodded when he heard this, and he didn't speak, just stared at the army in front of him.

On the other side, Cheng Pu led people to hurry up and rushed outside the Yellow Turban Army camp after a while. Two miles away from the Yellow Turban Army, Cheng Pu let his soldiers dismount, and they should go on foot, and let the scouts set off first to clear the road ahead.

When Cheng Pu's army arrived at the Yellow Turban Army camp on foot, one or two corpses could be seen from time to time along the way, all wearing Yellow Turban Army uniforms, of course, there were also some Han soldiers mixed with them.

Standing still outside the Yellow Turban Army camp, Cheng Pu reorganized the army, but looking at the quiet camp in front of him, Cheng Pu's heart was also bottomless. Cheng Pu looked around and found that there was not even a Yellow Turban Army standing guard, and he didn't know if the scout mission was completed too perfectly, or if it was a trap in the first place.

Cheng Pu waved his hand and said loudly: Target, tent ahead, three arrows, shoot.

With Cheng Pu's order, the two thousand soldiers behind him all bent their bows and arrows, shooting the arrows in their hands straight ahead. For a time, arrows rained down on the camp of the Yellow Turban Army. But the strange thing is that the sound of the camp of the Yellow Turban Army is still not too loud, even if there are screams, it is only a few sounds. After three arrows rained, Cheng Pu looked at the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, but still no one came out, and now he doesn't know the situation, he doesn't know if this is an empty camp, or if the Yellow Turban Army is still patient, waiting for him to be fooled.

Cheng Pu thought about the arrangement behind Huangfu Song, and knew that he must test out what the situation of the Yellow Turban Army camp in front of him was. With a wave of his hand, the army directly entered the Yellow Turban Army camp. For a while, the sound of killing broke the silence of the night. Cheng Pu led people into the tent when he saw it, killed the Yellow Turban Army when he saw it, and killed the Chinese army tent without hindrance along the way.

At this time, there was a young man standing in front of the big tent of the Yellow Turban Army, and when he saw Cheng Pu leading the troops to kill, he sneered and said: Hangou, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time. After speaking, shout and kill. After saying that, he stepped back.

Chen Qun's killing directly caused a chain effect. As soon as the ambushed Yellow Turban Army heard Chen Qun's order, they rushed out from behind the big tent in a steady stream. Cheng Pu saw that his goal had been achieved, and he shouted without any war: Formation. Rush out. After saying that, he turned around and killed the way he was going. As soon as the Han soldiers behind him heard Cheng Pu's order, they formed a circle one after another, surrounded each other in a circle, leaned on each other back to back, and followed Cheng Pu to kill outside. Because there was an explanation when he came, the soldiers of the Han army did not panic when they saw an ambush, and the soldiers on both sides were evenly killed, the Yellow Turban Army was victorious in the large number of people, and the Han army was victorious in being well-trained. However, the local situation was a temporary advantage for the Han army. Chen Qun occupied the outside, and after discovering the overall situation, he ordered the herald soldiers around him to come forward: the herald Changmao stepped forward.

With Chen Qun's order, the battlefield situation changed for a while, and the Han army carried more swords because they had to carry bows and arrows, and they were at a disadvantage in the face of Changmao. The Han army began to suffer heavy casualties. Cheng Pu looked back and saw this scene, his eyes straightened with anger. turned around and killed in the direction of the Yellow Turban Army's Central Army's tent. Cheng Pu opened the way again and became the queen of the palace. Seeing the soldiers around him falling, he hurriedly shouted and hurried away.

When the soldiers of the Han army heard Cheng Pu's call for peace, they were not in love, and they all quickened their pace. Finally, after leaving corpses all over the ground, the two armies disengaged from contact, and Cheng Pu saw that the soldiers who could still stand were all wounded, so he hurriedly ordered: get on your horse and go.

After saying that, he stepped on a war horse first, and when he saw that almost everyone else was on the horse, he hurriedly rode away. The Yellow Turban Army chasing behind them couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that the Han army was riding away, and they didn't know what they had done. Chen Qun saw the front and looked at the direction in which the Han army fled in front of him, so he could only sigh helplessly and ordered: clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses, and prepare for the next war.

When Cheng Pu returned to Yingchuan City with the army, he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he looked at the figures walking back and forth on the city tower. Although the Yellow Turban Army had encountered another ambush a long time ago, the army suffered heavy losses, and Cheng Pu still felt ashamed. came to the city gate tower, stood in front of Huangfu Song, and knelt down heavily. A little choked out of his mouth: General. Huangfu Song looked at Cheng Pu in front of him, helped him up with both hands, and looked at the troops who came back, although he was also very sad, he had to comfort Cheng Pu and said: General Cheng, the battle on the battlefield is inevitable, whether it is victory or defeat, the old man is responsible, you don't have to blame yourself. Let's go down and prepare for the next war.

In the end, Cheng Pu walked down the city tower under the persuasion of Huangfu Song and everyone. Watching Cheng Pu leave, Huangfu Song instructed Han Dang, who was about to set off next: This time, you set off with a large army, don't enter the enemy's camp tent, just stand outside the camp tent and shoot arrows at the enemy's camp tent, and come back immediately after completing the task. Han Dang agreed and went down to prepare.

An hour after Cheng Pu's return, Han Dang set off with his troops. Han Dang led the troops to the outside of the Yellow Turban Army camp, stopped within the range of the arrows, turned his head and instructed the soldiers behind him: Don't dismount, shoot arrows directly, and return to Yingchuan City after shooting. After speaking, he should take the lead and pick up the bow and arrow behind him, and bend the bow and shoot the enemy in front of him. When the Han soldiers behind him saw it, they also picked up their bows and arrows, followed the example of Han Dang, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot the arrows into the Yellow Turban barracks. Ten times in a row, after shooting, Han Dang first rode in the direction of Yingchuan City. The rest of the Han soldiers followed Han Dang and returned to Yingchuan City one after another.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, the ambushed Yellow Turban Army saw that the Han Army ran away after shooting arrows, and they all walked out of the ambush place, looking at the direction in which the Han Army left, and scolded. Chen Qun looked at it and found that he could no longer see the back of the Han army, so he knew that the Han army would not return, and after thinking about it, he ordered the herald soldiers beside him: Let the soldiers rest, the Han army will not come, they have been frightened by us. The herald hurried down to give the order. After a while, there were bursts of cheers from the camp. The Yellow Turban sergeants all returned to their tents and prepared to sleep.

As soon as Chen Qun heard the cheers of the soldiers, he knew what was going on, but he didn't take it seriously, so he prepared to go back to the Chinese army's tent to rest.

Because Han Dang's army did not return without any losses, Huangfu Song didn't say anything to him, just asked him to go down to prepare for the next war. Han Dang also knew that he really had nothing to say about this battle, so he resigned.

An hour after Han Dang's return, Zu Mao set off with a thousand soldiers.
