Cao Ren led his army to Nandun County, all the way with great fanfare, and made it clear where he was to tell the Shu army.

Huang Xu asked for battle, got Pang Tong's consent, and immediately rushed to the army.

Soon, he mobilized 20,000 soldiers. Because he heard that Cao Ren also had an army of 20,000, Huang Xu only transferred 20,000 people, thinking that it was enough to deal with Cao Ren. He left the barracks with his soldiers and marched all the way, constantly chasing Cao Ren. In two days, Huang Xu led the soldiers into the territory of Nanton County. Huang Xu did not rush to continue his journey, but stopped and set up camp, and sent scouts in the army to inquire about Cao Ren's news and find out the situation of the Wei army.

In doing so, I also want to take this opportunity to give the army a boost.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Xu is looking at the map, thinking about how to break the enemy?

"Report!!"

A loud shout came from outside the tent, and Huang Xu said without raising his head: "Come in." ”

After the scout entered the big tent, he bowed down to Huang Xu, clasped his fists and said, "General, we have found out the specific location of Cao Ren, and they are forty miles to the northeast. Continue the rapid march to catch up today, and it should be able to catch up late at night. ”

Huang Xu said in a deep voice: "The time to catch up is the middle of the night, and the time is just right." ”

He stood up and commanded in a loud voice, "Order, order the soldiers to pack their bags and leave immediately." Be sure to catch up with the Wei army in the middle of the night and catch Cao Ren off guard. ”

The scout thought for a while, felt that something was wrong, and said: "General, our 20,000-strong army is galloping all the way, and Cao Ren must be able to detect the movement of the army. Once Cao Ren gets the news, he will definitely be on guard, and it is almost impossible to attack Cao Ren by surprise. Moreover, we were marching in a hurry, and the soldiers were exhausted from the long journey, and they were in danger of being ambushed. General, do you ask Lord Taishou and Pang Junshi, and wait for the army to arrive, and then lead the army to chase Cao Ren. The army is crushed, and Cao Ren will definitely die without a place to be buried. ”

Huang Xu snorted and said loudly: "Why do you need to ask the military advisor, can't we defeat Cao Ren?" Since he was afraid that Cao Ren would have an ambush, he changed his strategy slightly. I led 8,000 soldiers to Cao Ren's camp, and the rest of the 12,000 soldiers hurried as usual. With a large army as a cover, the eight thousand soldiers I lead will become a surprise army. At night, 8,000 soldiers suddenly entered the camp of the Cao army, and Cao Ren could not change the situation of defeat. ”

Huang Xu was full of ambition, with an expectant look on his face.

Defeat the Wei army and capture Cao Ren.

The scout still felt unsafe, and said, "General, if you only take 8,000 men, can you win?" You must know that Cao Ren led a large army to capture Pingyu County and Shangcai County, looted countless grains, and captured soldiers and a part of Baixin, definitely more than 20,000 people. If you lead 8,000 soldiers to raid, it's easy to have problems. ”

"Long-winded."

Huang Xu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let you go to the order, just go and pass the order." The Shu army was invincible, invincible, and the 80,000 troops of Gaoran were defeated, not to mention the defeat of more than 20,000 remnants led by Cao Ren, which is not worth mentioning. Cao Ren is just a little clever, don't worry. Go and prepare, Ben is going to send troops. ”

"No!!"

The scout clenched his fists and hurried to carry out the order.

……

The Wei army camp, where Cao Ren and his army set up camp.

Cao Ren led the army to connect Pingyu County and Shangcai County, and there was no pride. He clearly understood the gap between the Shu army and the Wei army, and knew that it would be certain death if he fought hard with the Wei army. This is not only a question of strength, but also of the strength of the army's soldiers. If you want to win, you can only use some clever means to ambush and gradually consume the strength of the Shu army, otherwise it is impossible to save Yuzhou in this game of chess. Cao Ren has given up control of the counties and counties in Yuzhou, does not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and thinks about the survival of the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, and how to contain Zhang Liao?

The big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Ren and Cao Fei and others are deliberating.

Zhao Hong stood below, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, as you expected, some people in the Shu army were impatient and led the army to kill first." The person who led the troops was Huang Xu, who was the son of Huang Zhong, a general under Wang Can, with superb martial arts and ruthless sword skills, no less than Huang Zhong. ”

Cao Ren asked, "Did you hear the situation of Huang Xu's army clearly?" ”

Zhao Hong nodded and said excitedly: "Huang Xu marched forward with 20,000 soldiers, and stopped again after arriving in Nandun County. However, he sent a part of his army towards us, and he himself came with a few thousand soldiers to take the path. Hey, Huang Xu thought that no one noticed the trick he used, but he didn't know that the scout found that there was no Huang Xu in the army, and directly judged Huang Xu's intentions. My lord, Huang Xu led thousands of people to come, this is a good opportunity to destroy Huang Xu, not to be missed. ”

Cao Ren smiled and said, "We fled everywhere to preserve our strength, just to wear off the strength of the Shu army little by little. Now Huang Xu took the initiative to kill with thousands of troops, which just gave us an opportunity. How is it possible not to eat the meat that is brought to the mouth? With a turn of his eyes, Cao Ren looked at Cao Fei again and asked, "Cao Fei, the people and ordinary soldiers we have coerced from Shangcai County and Pingyu County are still in the army, and these people are the way to break Huang Xu." Let them put on the clothes of our soldiers, arrange them well, and wait for Huang Xu to come. ”

"No!!"

Cao Fei had already known Cao Ren's intentions and immediately went to carry out the order.

Immediately after, Cao Ren also stood up, left the big tent with Zhao Hong, Tao Mang and others, and went to the army to mobilize soldiers.

……

After nightfall, the soft moonlight sprinkles down, hazy, and beautiful.

Huang Xu marched with 8,000 soldiers, approached the Wei army camp, and then asked the 8,000 soldiers to hide for a while, and then approached the Wei army camp with his henchmen. The two hid in the shadows, looking at the brightly lit Wei military camp. After a lieutenant glanced at the Wei army's barracks, he looked excited, and said with a smile: "General, you look at the Wei army's barracks, although the camp is well arranged and all kinds of fortifications have been made, but after looking at the soldiers in the camp, you can know at a glance that it is a false appearance. The soldiers who were on patrol at night were listless, disheveled, and completely devoid of the momentum of a thug. Cao Ren was able to take Shangcai County and Pingyu County with such soldiers, so it was really hard to evaluate the county orders of the two counties. ”

Huang Xu said disdainfully: "It's a shame to be taken down by such a soldier, the county orders of Shangcai County and Pingyu County are all fools." He thought for a moment, and then said: "Cao Ren is defenseless, and the soldiers in the army are all tired people, and they are completely untrained, and our eight thousand men are enough to win." ”

The captain smiled and said: "The general is wise, and our army will win." ”

Huang Xu made a gesture and said, "Let's go, return to the army immediately, and lead the soldiers to launch a surprise attack." Cao Ren was defenseless, and we won this battle. With the lieutenant and a few soldiers who followed, he quickly disappeared into the night, and ran towards the place where the army was resting.

Back in the army, Huang Xu immediately ordered to approach the Wei army camp.

Eight thousand people approached quietly and soon came to the gate of the Wei army's camp.

Huang Xu stared at the brightly lit Wei army camp, slowly raised a large knife in his hand, and roared loudly: "Kill in and capture Cao Ren alive." Huang Xu flicked the reins of his horse, looked excited, and took the lead in launching an attack, rushing towards the Wei camp.

Under the light of the fire, a figure kept moving forward, approaching the Wei camp.

"Kill!!"

The soldiers of the Eight Thousand Shu Army roared loudly, and their voices echoed in the night sky.

When the soldiers in the Wei army camp saw the Shu army coming, there was no reaction from the regular soldiers, and it became a mess in an instant. The Shu army broke through the fortifications arranged, and some soldiers thought of beating the war drums and informing the soldiers in the camp to rise up and resist.

This kind of action is obviously much slower. As the shouts of the Shu army approached, Huang Xu had already carried a long knife into the Wei army's barracks, and the long knife slashed again and again, killing more than ten Wei soldiers patrolling the night in three or two strokes. At this time, many soldiers in the barracks dressed in Wei army clothes came out with swords, these people were either yellow-faced, or fat-headed and big-eared, and even five short figures, and some of them were fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, which was incredible.

Huang Xu was amused when he saw Wei Jun like this.

These people, it's incredible, is such a soldier an army?
