In the blink of an eye.

It was getting dark.

Gao Shun took 40,000 elites and went straight to Cao's camp.

Lu Bu came to Han Xin's camp again and said: "Taking advantage of the battle between Gao Shun and Cao Cao, everyone's attention has gone to Cao Jun's camp. We need to do something about it, too. Two artillery regiments and two infantry regiments were transferred to build artillery positions on both flanks of Cao's camp. Be prepared for contingencies. If Gao Shun is defeated, immediately give artillery support. ”

"No."

Han Xin thought the same way, but he didn't have time to ask for his life urgently.

After receiving Lu Bu's instructions, he quickly went to make arrangements.

Gao Shun's 40,000 troops, before arriving at Cao's army camp, launched an attack without hesitation: "Kill...!" He first sent 10,000 elites as the vanguard of the attack on Cao's camp.

It was followed by the camp of 3,000 traps led by him personally.

Behind him were more than 20,000 spearmen as his backup.

The advantage of this arrangement is...

If you can't defeat Cao Cao, you can withdraw at any time. His trap camp was in the middle, which could not only support the battle of the front army, but also protect the rear army from withdrawing.

After the start of the battle.

Gao Shun's 10,000 vanguard army fought very fiercely, like an awl, and they were indomitable.

Cao's army was defenseless and suffered heavy casualties.

After receiving the report, Sima Yi found Cao Cao: "King Wei, King Wei..." ”

Inside the tent of the Chinese army.

When Sima Yi saw Cao Cao, he reported: "Gao Shun's tens of thousands of troops have launched an attack on our camp. The officers and men of our former army were defenseless and suffered heavy losses. Ask the King of Wei to quickly order the withdrawal of troops to avoid a head-on conflict with Lü Bu. ”

"Didn't you say they wouldn't come?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

"The minister said... The enemy was only a probe and did not attack us in full. If we can withstand two hours, Gao Shun's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses must retreat. It's just that in this way, we really started a war with Lü Bu, which is not conducive to the delaying strategy implemented by King Wei. Our soldiers and horses in various parts of the country will also be in an unfavorable situation. We should evacuate immediately, and then send someone to negotiate peace with Lu Bu and ask him why he is fighting against our army. ”

"Don't say anything, go and give orders." Cao Cao didn't bother to think deeply. He trusted Sima Yi's mind, and he knew very well that he must not go to war until he was absolutely sure.

If there is to be a war, it should also be a prepared war, not a passive attack without any offensive strategy, as is the case now.

Sima Yi gave the order to withdraw the troops on Cao Cao's behalf.

The Cao army in the camp all moved westward.

Gao Shun took advantage of the situation to chase and kill!

But...

He pursued him for less than two miles before he was stopped by a group of cavalry. This group of cavalry numbered about 5,000, wearing heavy armor and red robes, and should be an elite force that had experienced a hundred battles.

Gao Shun's 10,000 vanguard army fought with it, but it was invincible.

"General Han."

"Yes."

Lu Bu came to the artillery position that Han Xin had just built, and said: "Things are as you expected, Gao Shun's tens of thousands of troops have just entered it, and Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of troops. He didn't intend to really go to war with us, everything was a bluff. ”

"The last general is also a fluke guess. Lord, can you order General Gao Shun to retreat? He's chasing and killing alone, it's dangerous. Our artillery has a limited range and can't help him. Han Xin said.

"Well, hurry up and give the order."

"No."

Han Xin called a soldier and gave the order to withdraw the troops.

Not long after the soldier left.

Lu Bu looked at the battlefield in the sky, frowned, and said, "It's not good, Gao Shun seems to have been blocked." His troops must have stopped in that position for two quarters of an hour, and did not move forward. ”

"The lord is really careful to observe. The minister also found out just now. ”

Han Xin replied.

Lu Bu glanced behind him: "Our artillery, can it hit that position?" ”

"This... Definitely not. ”

"How far is it?"

"About two thousand meters." Han Xin said: "If you move to the northwest, just advance a thousand meters. ”

"It's not far off. But this mountain road cannot be carried out. If the gun carriage and barrel are removed, they are transported by truck and reassembled. When everything was done, an hour passed. Didn't your 1st Army have three artillery regiments. Drive the remaining artillery regiment directly behind Gao Shun to support. The section over there is good, and you can get there in the blink of an eye. ”

"Yes."

Han Shin personally went to transfer the 3rd Artillery Regiment.

Lu Bu said to the soldiers around him: "You also move, move all the artillery to the northwest." ”

"No..."

Lu Bu thought in his heart that if Han Xin's 3rd Artillery Regiment couldn't rush to the battlefield in time to support, when his artillery here was set up, maybe he could support in advance.

Prepare with both hands, just in case.

At this time.

The battle in Cao's camp was quite fierce.

The elite army left by Sima Yi was the most powerful tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao, and was led by Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang was only nineteen years old and fought extremely bravely.

The tiger and leopard cavalry led by him, after several years of training, and participated in the Battle of Xiliang and the Battle of Bingzhou, are well-equipped and are a real elite.

Sima Yi left him behind to prevent Gao Shun from chasing and killing Cao Cao's army.

Obviously.

Sima Yi succeeded.

Cao Zhang led the tiger and leopard cavalry and successfully intercepted Gao Shun's soldiers and horses. Even Gao Shun's trapping camp could not match it, and he was completely on the defensive.

"Kill...!"

Cao Zhang carried a long knife and rushed over again.

He was followed closely by the tiger and leopard rider, with a fierce momentum and a rapid attack.

Gao Shun knew that the tiger and leopard cavalry was an elite force and could not be defeated, so he immediately ordered all troops and horses to retreat, and he led 3,000 camps to resist the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh...

With Gao Shun's order, 3,000 arrows were fired at the rushing enemy.

The archery skills of the soldiers in the camp are excellent, I dare not say that they are all through the Yang in a hundred steps, but they can do it within seventy steps, and they can hit every hundred shots! Even at night, as long as there are torches, there will be no half-discount.

It's just that the tiger and leopard ride they encountered is really too chicken thief.

The overwhelming number of arrows was fired, but before it worked, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard rode all lay on their horses. Gave the back to those arrows. And they have thick armor on their backs, and they are not afraid of bows and arrows at all.

Bell, bell, bell...

After a round of shooting, it was unscathed.

"Shield! Spear array! ”

Gao Shun saw that the arrows could not be ridden by tigers and leopards, so he switched to shield arrays and spear arrays to meet the enemy.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Gao Shun was very worried, but he didn't dare to take a step back. Because behind him there are tens of thousands of troops, which are being withdrawn one after another. If he also withdraws, he will be chased by the tiger and leopard riders.

It's really aggrieved to think about.

Originally, he should have chased and killed Cao Jun, but now he has to worry about being chased and killed by Cao Jun.

Da Da...

The tiger and leopard riders swarmed and crashed into the shield array.

Burst! Burst!

The shield array trapped in the camp was quite acquainted, and barely blocked the attack of the tiger and leopard riders. Countless spears poked out from behind the shield and stabbed the horses of the tiger and leopard.

"Die!"

Cao Zhang, armed with a long knife, killed several trapped soldiers one after another.

"Pay attention to defense, don't fight back!" Gao Shun shouted.

The soldiers trapped in the camp all withdrew their spears. Fortify the defenses of the shield array.

"Where is Gao Shun? Come out and fight me! Cao Zhang was very arrogant and challenged Gao Shun by name.

"Rukou child, Gao Shun is here!"

"Hmph, you'll just hide behind the soldiers, do you dare to come out?" Cao Zhang shouted.

"Hugh is the benefit of the tongue...."

Gao Shun really didn't dare to go out.

It's not because he's afraid of Cao Zhang, but the trapping camp needs someone to command, and if he rashly goes to single-handedly challenge Cao Zhang, the trapping camp will soon be eaten by the tiger and leopard cavalry.
