Chapter 1244: Huang Xuzhong's plan
Huang Xu looked at the group of soldiers in the Wei army camp, and had a faint premonition in his heart.
This group of soldiers is really too weak and vulnerable.
Many of the soldiers' armor hung haphazardly, the weapons in their hands were crooked, and there was a panicked look in their eyes, not at all like trained soldiers, nor like soldiers who had fought on the battlefield. With a little experience, it is unlikely that there will be a chaotic situation, and the soldiers will be organized to resist.
However, these soldiers in front of them were simply scurrying around, not knowing what to do.
The two armies met, and the Wei army, which ran out of the camp, was defeated.
Huang Xu killed the Wei soldiers one by one, and rode horses to kill in the barracks, causing the Wei soldiers to flee continuously. The Wei army that came out was surrounded by 8,000 Shu troops, with huge casualties. Huang Xu was young and vigorous after all, and he didn't think too much about the problems, and the idea of capturing Cao Ren came to his mind. He brandished his long knife and shouted, "Capture Cao Ren alive, capture Cao Ren alive." As he spoke, Huang Xu rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army with a big knife, wanting to capture Cao Ren, the commander of the Wei army, alive.
The barracks were already in a mess, noisy and noisy.
Huang Xu walked quickly through the barracks, and no Wei army dared to jump out to stop him. He went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army and rushed in on horseback. When he rushed into the camp tent with great anticipation, he found that the camp was empty, there was no one, and there was no trace of Cao Ren.
At that moment, Huang Xu withdrew again.
He stood in the camp and looked around, and found that there were countless Wei soldiers in the camp, this situation did not seem like a plan!
But what about Cao Ren?
Huang Xu's mind kept circling Cao Ren and ran somewhere, but in the end he didn't come up with it. In desperation, Huang Xu shouted: "Search for Cao Ren, search for Cao Ren." He ordered his soldiers to search for Cao Ren's traces, trying to find Cao Ren as soon as possible. A lieutenant quickly ran to Huang Xu's side, with an excited look on his face, and said happily: "General, the Wei army has been defeated, the Wei army in the camp is all in ruins, and the army that met us is all wilted, and many Wei troops have surrendered on their knees. β
Huang Xu said angrily: "Cao Ren doesn't know where to go, and if he wins, he will just destroy the shrimp soldiers and crab generals." β
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Huang Xu exclaimed: "Could it be that Cao Ren left some useless Wei soldiers in the camp, and then took the elite to attack our other soldiers." Quickly, immediately arrest a Wei soldier for interrogation and ask about the specific situation. β
"No!"
The Colonel clenched his fists and hurried to carry out the order.
After a while, the little colonel hurriedly ran to Huang Xu's side, with an eager look on his face, and said loudly: "General, it's not good, we have been tricked." The soldiers in the barracks were not Wei soldiers, but the people of Shangcai County and Pingyu County, and some of them were Wei soldiers from the two counties. They were forced to wear the clothes of Wei soldiers, and because of this, we were able to easily enter the camp and easily kill the 'Wei soldiers'. General, we've been tricked, so let's get out. β
"Retreat, retreat!"
Huang Xu no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered to retreat, his mind had already flown to the other 12,000 soldiers, and he was very worried.
"Whew! Call!! β
Just as Huang Xu was about to leave, a fire suddenly broke out around the camp. The fire was raging, and in the blink of an eye, it spread. Haygrass was placed next to the fence around the camp, and in some places tung oil was even splashed, which burned in case of fire and could not be extinguished.
"Whew! Shout!! β
Outside the camp, a group of Cao soldiers appeared.
The leader is none other than Cao Ren.
In fact, Cao Ren did not attack another Shu army, but stayed specifically to deal with Huang Xu. For Cao Ren, taking Huang Xu is obviously worth more than attacking another 12,000 soldiers. Thousands of archers surrounded the camp and fired rockets. The rocket fell in the camp and quickly burned. The power of the rocket cannot be as great as that of an ordinary bow and arrow, nor will it be so accurate, but after hitting the soldiers of the Shu army, the damage is greater, and it can cause casualties and turmoil.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers brought by Huang Xu lost more than 600 people.
Along with the soldiers of the Shu army, there were also ordinary people and soldiers from Shangcai County and Pingyu County.
The life and death of these people, Cao Ren no longer thinks about it.
At the moment, it is difficult for him to even protect the more than 20,000 Wei soldiers around him, let alone protect the people. He wants to contain the Shu army and protect the Cao family, and many things that cannot be done have to be done now. Just as he made the decision to let the people pretend to be soldiers, this would attract Huang Xu's army, but the people were untrained and could not resist, and they would easily be slaughtered by the Shu army, with heavy casualties. This can confuse Huang Xu and trick the Shu army into the camp, but the result is that the people suffer, but Cao Ren still gritted his teeth and carried it out.
Cao Ren took the lead, but Huang Xu fell into a bitter battle.
In the camp, the flames were blazing. Countless people ran around, howling loudly and panicking. The number of ordinary people was quite large, and they kept breaking through to the outside, blocking the direction of the breakthrough of the soldiers under Huang Xu, making the casualties of the soldiers under Huang Xu's command even greater.
"Kill out, kill out!"
Huang Xu roared as hard as he could, and kept ordering to rush out.
"Smack! Syllable! β
He mustered all the strength of his body, swung his long knife, and slammed all the rockets into the air. The people blocked the way, but Huang Xu didn't care about it, and killed him directly from the people. At this moment, Huang Xu regretted in his heart, regretting that he did not report the news of the division of troops to pursue the Wei army to Zhang Liao and Pang Tong. If Zhang Liao and Pang had planned together, they would definitely not have been decided. But it's useless to regret it now, you have to rush out, and only by rushing out of the sea of fire can you have a way out.
After a burst of killing, Huang Xu rushed out of the camp with most of the soldiers, but there were more than 2,000 fewer soldiers under his command.
Some of the soldiers were not shot, but were pushed to the ground, trampled by countless people, and could no longer stand up. Some soldiers even remained in the camp, surrounded by countless civilians, unable to rush out, waiting to be grilled by the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the camp was on fire.
Huang Xu led the soldiers out to kill, and glanced back at the soldiers who fell into the fire, feeling uncomfortable.
He looked at Cao Ren, who was wearing armor in front of him, and his eyes burst out with hatred. The long knife pointed at Cao Ren, and Huang Xu shouted: "Brothers, Cao Ren is ahead, capture Cao Ren alive, and avenge the dead brothers." With that, Huang Xu carried the long knife and launched a charge again. At the same time, the soldiers who followed behind Huang Xu cheered up again and continued to rush forward. For them, seizing Cao Ren is undoubtedly the greatest credit, and in front is the commander of the Wei army, and everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Cao Ren saw Huang Xu coming, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
This kid is so naΓ―ve!
The first reaction to escape from the sea of fire was not to run away, but to stay and continue to fight, which was really ignorant and fearless. Cao Ren restrained his smile, waved his big hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhao Hong, lead three thousand spearmen into battle, kill the Shu army back to the camp for me, and let them all be buried in the fire." β
"The last general obeys!"
Zhao Hong excitedly agreed, turned around and shouted, "Spearman, kill with me." β
At the sound of an order, a long line of spearmen was quickly killed.
The group of soldiers, all dressed in armor and iron helmets, and carrying spears nearly six feet long in their hands, numbered about 3,000 men. Under the leadership of Zhao Hong, they formed a phalanx and marched forward without hurry. The speed of the spearmen is not fast, but it is like a tank on land, invincible, not afraid of the soldiers of the Shu army. Especially the sharp spear, after encountering the Shu army, it was simply devastating, and it was extremely powerful to break through the Shu army.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Shu army suffered a huge blow.
