"What? Empty? How can it be empty? ”

Cao Cao was suspicious for a while, and ordered: "Send someone to investigate the surroundings immediately." It is likely that the white cavalry was lying in ambush around. Just wait for us to enter the camp and then attack me. ”

"King Wei is wise. The last general will immediately send someone to investigate. Cao Hong hurriedly left.

Cao Cao's guess was really prescient.

As soon as Cao Hong left, a general came to report: "King Wei, our rear army has been attacked by the enemy's cavalry. ”

"How many? Is it Bai Qi who leads the troops? Cao Cao and Sima Yi's faces changed suddenly.

"The number of the enemy is not large, about a thousand people, and they are fighting fiercely with our rear army." The general replied.

"Command the enemy."

"No."

Cao Cao turned over a horse, took Xu Chu and Sima Yi, and rushed to the rear army.

Da Da...

Pei Yuanqing personally led a thousand iron cavalry to attack Cao Cao's rear army. Specialized in attacking its baggage troops. The baggage troops were the weakest in combat, and had no crossbowmen or shields. The defense and attack power were insufficient, and they were raided by Pei Yuanqing's cavalry, and suffered heavy casualties.

When Cao Cao arrived at the scene, the battle was raging.

He immediately ordered: "Mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses, outflank them from both flanks, and be sure to annihilate Pei Yuanqing's cavalry." In addition, 50,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, ready to meet Bai Qi at any time. ”

"No..."

The generals beside him all went to prepare.

Da Da...

About half an hour later. Cao Cao's 20,000 soldiers and horses quickly outflanked him, trying to surround Pei Yuanqing. However, at the critical moment, Pei Yuanqing suddenly led the cavalry to withdraw.

The speed of withdrawal was very fast, and the baggage troops of the rear army could not intercept it at all, and they watched Pei Yuanqing disappear from sight.

"Gone?"

Cao Cao poked his head and looked at it, and suddenly understood: "Bai Qi knows that he is not my opponent, so he wants to rely on the speed of the cavalry to keep sneaking up and causing casualties to our army." Such a little trick, huh.... ”

"King Wei is wise. It's just that I have to guard against it. Sima Yi said.

"You go and tell Cao Hong, so be prepared."

"No."

After driving Pei Yuanqing away, Cao Cao set up camp on a plain five miles away.

Not long after setting up camp, Pei Yuanqing came again, still a thousand cavalry, and raided Cao's army, which was not firmly established. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the front camp was washed to pieces and the tents were destroyed.

Before a number of soldiers could take up their weapons, they fell under the butcher's knives.

Cao Hongqin led 10,000 troops to support.

The situation was the same as before, as soon as he arrived, Pei Yuanqing left the camp. The speed of the cavalry was already fast, and the cavalry he brought with him was not much, such as waving his arms, he retreated faster.

Cao Hong's infantry army couldn't catch up at all.

After eating a dumb loss, there is no way to fight back.

................

Fifteen miles away.

The white cavalry rested in place.

Seeing Pei Yuanqing coming back, he asked, "General Pei, how is the capture?" ”

"Hahaha... This blitzkrieg is really good. Pei Yuanqing walked over and said excitedly: "I sneak attacked twice in a row, and I succeeded both times." According to my estimates, at least more than 3,000 Cao troops were killed or wounded! ”

"Well done."

Bai Qi said: "Let's rest and rest, and when it is midnight, we will go again." ”

"Did General Bai say that he was going to attack the camp at night? The last general fears an ambush. Pei Yuanqing said.

"Even you know there will be an ambush, how can I not know? However, I did not attack the camp, but disturbed the camp. Exhausting Warfare! Bai Qi smiled and said, "It's still early, let's move closer to the nearest county seat and find some cowhide drums." Waiting until midnight is of great use. ”

"Yes."

Bai Qi took Pei Yuanqing and went to Huiyuan City, thirty miles away.

Although Huiyuan City is a small city, the population of the people is quite large, and the strategic materials are also extremely rich.

Bai first took control of the county government and searched for all the cowhide drums in the city. Then the two rich men in the city were destroyed, and all the grain was taken out to work the army. and a portion was given to the people of the city.

As for whether the rich man is good or bad, Bai Qi doesn't bother to check it, and he doesn't want to check it.

The situation is urgent, and everything is under control.

Night.

Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing each led a thousand soldiers and horses and ran to the flank of Cao Ying.

"Drumming!"

Bai Qi shouted.

A full twenty cowhide drums were placed outside Cao Ying, beating vigorously.

Knock knock...

As soon as the war drums sounded, the Cao troops in the camp thought that the enemy was coming, and they all got up, took their weapons, and prepared to meet the enemy.

"What about the enemy? Where is the enemy? Cao Cao and Sima Yi were also alarmed.

Cao Hong came to report: "King Wei, after our investigation, it is just a small group of enemy troops, beating war drums outside the camp. The last general has already laid heavy troops at the four gates of the camp, and if the enemy dares to enter the village, he will be told that there will be no return. The last general suggested that the officers and men of the whole army should be informed that when they heard the sound of war drums, they did not need to rise up to meet the enemy. ”

"If Bai Qi attacks in a big way, will your ambush be able to stop it?" Sima Yi asked.

"This..."

Cao Hong really didn't dare to guarantee it.

If one or two thousand cavalry comes, he can still stop them. If it is all the soldiers and horses of Bai Qi, then at least tens of thousands of ambush soldiers must be formed into a phalanx to match them.

"Let the soldiers go back and rest. When you hear the drums of war, you don't have to get up and prepare for battle. Cao Cao said.

"Yes..."

Cao Hong responded.

Sima Yi hugged his fists and said, "King Wei can't be careless." ”

"Zhongda doesn't have to worry. On this night, early tomorrow morning, we will gather our forces and pursue them northward, and we must completely annihilate the white cavalry! Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "I can't delay any longer, time is in his favor, not me." ”

"Yes."

The crowd departed one after another.

Knock knock...

After a while, the nasty war drums began to beat again.

This time, none of Cao Bing came out.

Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing also discovered this. Pei Yuanqing said: "It seems that this trick is not easy to use." The enemy is simply not fooled. It's a pity that we didn't bring a large army, otherwise we would have been able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

"You're wrong. There must have been an ambush in Cao's camp. Cao Cao was sure that he would be able to block my attack, so he ordered the soldiers of each battalion not to leave the camp when they heard the sound of war drums. Bai Qi said.

"I see, so what should we do?"

"According to the original plan, every quarter of an hour, the drums of war were sounded. The camps in the southeast, northwest, and north have to be knocked. Even if they don't leave the tent, they can hear the drums of war. When he heard the sound of war drums, he couldn't sleep. We have also achieved the goal of exhaustion. When we fight with them tomorrow, we will get twice the result with half the effort," Bai Qi said.

After the decision was made, Bai Qi led a thousand cavalry back to the original county seat.

Pei Yuanqing didn't want to stay outside Cao Ying and waste his efforts, so he handed over the task of harassing the enemy to a lieutenant and went back to rest.

Knock knock...

For the whole night, the lieutenant ordered the soldiers to beat the war drums vigorously, disturbing the Cao army and the soldiers were irritable.

A new day begins.

Cao Cao's troops were assembled and began to move north.

Due to Bai Qi's tired tactics, almost all the soldiers were in poor spirits, languishing, and yawning vigorously.
