Chapter 349

Xu Huang was resting in the camp tent when he was woken up by a commotion, and then a guard hurriedly ran in: "General, something is wrong!" ”

"What are you doing in a panic?"

Cao ...... General Cao, he ......"

"What's wrong with him? Didn't the enemy convoy go? Or was they running away? Xu Huang listened to the guards talk about Cao Zhen, and he woke up from sleep.

"No, General, General Cao's enemy ambushed him, and he finally escaped to General Niu Bi's camp. Now General Niu is struggling to resist the enemy army, but it is said that the enemy army is outnumbered...... The scout implored the general to send troops to the rescue! ”

"What?" Cao Zhen took 10,000 people to rob grain, and Niu Bi brought 5,000 people to respond. Do you have to send troops to rescue yourself?

"Where are the scouts?"

A dark shadow outside the tent hurriedly ran in and hurriedly knelt down: "General Yu, the infantry pretending to be a transport team encountered by General Cao Zhen has more than 30,000 people. So ......"

After listening to the scout's report, Xu Huang also gasped. If it is really as the scout said, then Cao Zhen cannot be blamed, even if he is on the scene, he can't save the defeat. Know that the enemy is planning an ambush.

It's just that Xu Huang doesn't understand, more than 30,000 people went to ambush Cao Zhen, is Huyang an empty city? Isn't this the style of a clerk? Could it be that Liu Cong sent men and horses from the middle road to ambush him, if so, but it was such a big deal, and he spent so much trouble just to earn his 15,000 men?

"Someone, prepare the horses? Send more people to investigate outside Huyang City! "There are still more than 30,000 people in Xu Huang's camp, and it is not difficult to rescue Cao Zhen. It's just that he has to think about whether the whole battalion will attack to save Cao Zhen and Niu Bi, or attack Huyang Sky City and besiege Wei to save Zhao.

Without waiting for Xu Huang's troops to be integrated, Cao Zhen had already returned to the camp under the escort of several personal soldiers. Seeing that Cao Zhen was covered in blood and looked embarrassed, Xu Huang also knew that he had done his best. hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Zidan, you rest in the camp, and I will personally go to pick up Niu Bi!" ”

"General Xu, beware of enemy attacks at night." Although Cao Zhen was embarrassed, he had not lost his mind. There were 30,000 or 40,000 enemy troops who had just fought with him. Niu Bi's 5,000 people will definitely not be able to resist for long. If Xu Huang rushes forward, once the enemy army makes a detour to attack the camp, this large camp will be dangerous.

Xu Huang saw that Cao Zhen's reminder also made sense, so he stood up and asked, "It's Wenpin who is fighting with you?" ”

"It's not!" Cao Zhen shook his head and said, "It's a veteran, it should be Huang Zu." It's just that the generals who appeared in the outer encirclement later were slightly older than Wen Ping, and they were extremely brave! ”

"Could it be Zhao Yun?" Cao Zhen is a fierce general, and the one who can make him praise must not be an ordinary person. And Wen Ping Cao really knows. So the first thing Xu Huang thought of was Zhao Yun.

"It doesn't look like his age, this person is only in his thirties." Although Cao Zhen has never seen Zhao Yun, Cao Zhen has long heard of Zhao Yun's prestige. And Zhao Yun has been famous for a long time, so it shouldn't be when he counts his age.

"That's Gan Ning! Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Liu Cong transferred Gan Ning from Deng County, induced Zhang Jaw to underestimate the enemy, and then transferred Guan Yu from Huyang to raid in the past. Now it's the same old trick again, and I don't know where to transfer Gan Ning to ambush the grain robbery troops. If this is the case, then Wen Ping in the city resolutely has more than 10,000 defenders, and it is unlikely that he wants to attack the city at night......"

"Yes, is there a mistake in the intelligence of our army's previous intelligence, and now it seems that Liu Cong's hoarding of soldiers and horses in Nanyang is not less than that of our army. General, the fierce general has been chasing the last general behind him, and at this moment, Niu Bi is afraid that he will not be able to resist it for a long time, you have to make a decision as soon as possible! Cao Zhen also heard from Xu Huang's words, Xu Huang originally had plans to besiege the city.

"Well, the herald ordered the whole army to be on strict guard, and then send more scouts to find out the enemy's movements." was said by Cao Zhen, Xu Huang didn't dare to leave the camp rashly. Now there are more than 30,000 enemy troops in the field pursuit, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Huyang City.

At this time, the soldiers of the whole army were already panicking, if something happened to the base camp again, Xu Huang would not be able to return to the sky, and Xu Huang's fate was very clear. So at this time, Xu Huang planned that even if he sacrificed Niu Bi, he couldn't leave without permission. Immediately, the officers and men of the whole battalion were ordered to be on high alert.

Cao Zhen saw that Xu Huang had no intention of answering Niu Bi, so he had to pray to the heavens, hoping that Niu Bi would be safe and noble. After all, Niu Bi went to intercept the enemy army in order to buy time for himself.

Soon not far from Xu Huang's camp, there was a killing shout, and when he heard the sound, Xu Huang couldn't help frowning. This fool actually led the enemy army to the big camp. In this dark night, it is tantamount to leading the way for the enemy.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Niu Bi, 5,000 people have to face the pursuit of 30,000 people, and they can't organize decent resistance at all. And the instinctive reaction of the soldiers was to run to the base camp. Even if Niu Bi had a heart, his soldiers would have long since disobeyed the call. Niu Bi had no choice but to follow in the direction of the camp, hoping that Xu Huang could lead the troops to rescue him. Almost every soldier was looking forward to this, but along the way, there was no movement, and the surviving soldiers were even more panicked.

Seeing Niu Bi's embarrassed return, Xu Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he stepped forward to greet Niu Bi with a little apology: "General Niu is hard, not Xu Mou's unkindness." At the moment, the situation between the enemy and the enemy is unknown, and Huang can't leave the camp easily......"

"The last general understands!" As a deputy general, Niu Bi naturally knows how to use soldiers. And from the perspective of human feelings, he is not Cao Zhen, and Xu Huang is understandable to focus on the overall situation. Now that he has escaped, there is no reason to blame Xu Huang.

I saw Xu Huang standing respectfully in front of Xu Huang: "General, the enemy generals are very brave, the number is far more than 30,000, be careful that they rob the camp tonight!" ”

Cao Zhen also said this before he came back. Xu Huang is even more convinced that the enemy will be Gan Ning, and there is no doubt about it. As early as when the two armies were at a stalemate, Xu Huang heard that when Zhang Jaw attacked Deng County, Gan Ning once led his troops out of the city and killed Zhang Jaw in embarrassment, which shows Gan Ning's bravery!

And the Brave will work best when raiding! Taking the lead is enough to scare the enemy! Instantly incapacitates the enemy's ability to resist and the sense of resistance. This is also the reason why the commander of the first army likes to use generals for night attacks, surprise attacks, and ambushes. From this point of view, Xu Huang also admires Liu Cong very much, whether it is Guan Yu or Gan Ning, their skills have been greatly exerted.

"You go into the camp and rest for a while, and then go to the east to prevent Wen Ping from coming out of the city! Ben is here waiting for the enemy to attack! Xu Huang saw that Niu Bi's condition was much better than Cao Zhen's, so he arranged for him to go to the east and guard the southeast direction by himself.

…… Liu Pan's battle was brilliant, and after encircling Cao Zhen, he immediately led his troops to attack Niu Bi. Fortunately, Niu Bi was prepared in advance, and ran away without resisting. Just like this, he led the way in front, and the other pursued in the back, and gradually the lights in the distance were bright, and he was getting closer and closer to Huyang City. Liu Pan naturally knew that this was the enemy's camp.

"Come on, go to Huyang City quickly to know General Wen. Half an hour later, Ben will lead his troops to attack Xu Huang's camp at night! "Liu Pan has not had much to do in Biyang and Runan. Hearing that Deng County and Huyang have been fighting, he has long been itchy, this time Liu Congfei asked him to go to Huyang to help in the battle, and he ordered all the soldiers and horses to gallop on the spot.

Cao Zhen's 10,000 people were bloomed from the middle by Huang Zu, and Liu Pan made dumplings around him, and almost all the troops were wiped out. In the ensuing Niu Bi Division, only those with fast legs and feet were able to escape, and 2,000 of the 5,000 people were able to return to the camp safely, and the rest were either left in the suburbs or went in other directions in the escape.

Obviously, Liu Pan is not enjoying it yet, and the morale of his soldiers is also very high, so it is the best time to attack the camp at this time. But after all, half of this army is the defenders stationed in Huyang. If you want to act, Liu Pan naturally wants to inform Wenpin. Of course, Liu Pan hoped that Wen Ping could send troops from Huyang and raid with himself.

Although Liu Pan is Liu Cong's cousin, Wenpin is also Liu Cong's extremely wealthy, with a higher official rank, and this battle is responsible for guarding the strategic location of Huyang. Liu Pan naturally didn't dare to act rashly. So after watching some enemy troops run towards Xu Huang's camp, he prepared his men and horses on the spot and waited for Wen Ping's reply.

At this time, Huang Zu also returned to Huyang City with his troops and thousands of prisoners, and when he heard about the success of the ambush, he was also full of smiles: "How is the battle situation of General Huang?" ”

"The lord and General Wen are calculated, then Cao Zhen'er was caught off guard when he was killed! It's just a pity that it was too dark, so he ran away. I hope General Liu can catch him! ”

"Being able to crush the enemy has already completed the task of this ambush. It's just that General Liu seems to be unfinished and wants to attack Xu Huang's camp overnight, what does the old general think? Wen Ping was also very hesitant when he received Liu Pan's news, so he asked Huang Zu, who had just returned from the battlefield.

"General Liu is brave, and most of the credit for this battle is Shu him. It's a good idea to raid the camp at night. It's just that after these two battles, first Cao Zhen, and then Niu Bi as long as one person escapes, he will definitely go back to tell Xu Huang. At this moment, Xu Huang is afraid that he has already been waiting for it! It's hard to win. ”

"Well, General Huang is about the same as he thinks. It's just that General Liu came from afar, and his intention is still unfinished, if we stop him from it, I am afraid that there will be complaints, what should I do? "Although Wen Ping is an official rank, he is higher than Liu Pan. But Liu Pan joined the army earlier than Wenpin, and Liu Biao was not very important when he was there, but since Liu Cong took power, Jingzhou has also respected this general very much. Now that he is on the rise, Wen Ping is a veteran of the battlefield, so he can naturally understand Liu Pan's mood at this time.

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue may be able to expand the results of the battle, but if the civil appointment is not allowed, it will be suspected of delaying the fighter. If the battle is unfavorable, but is taken advantage of by the enemy, and Wen Ping is the main general, he has the responsibility of lax control. So Wenpin was really a little embarrassed after winning the battle. If it is according to his character, he will naturally accept it when he sees it!

"Let's let General Liu go back to the city to rest, there are two consecutive battles today, and the soldiers have also worked hard!" After thinking about it for a while, Wen Ping made a difficult decision.
