Chapter 961: Breaking into the camp

When Yuan Tan was dragged up from the bed by the guards, his eyes were still closed.

After two days and two nights of strong attacks, although there was a replacement of Simbi in the middle, he was still too tired to do it. He was very excited, rejected Xinbi's suggestion to let him go back to the camp to rest, and supervised the soldiers on the position to build camp fences and dig camp trenches, until they brought in river water and completed most of the work, he returned to the camp with satisfaction.

The wish was fulfilled, his physical strength was also at the limit, he didn't even have the strength to wash, he fell on the couch, and fell asleep, at this time it was the time to sleep soundly, no matter how the guards screamed, they couldn't wake him up, and his eyelids were as heavy as a grinding plate, and he couldn't open them.

He knew that Sun Ce was nearby, and he also arranged for the guards to be on standby at any time, and sent a large number of scouts, but he still underestimated the danger and overestimated the professionalism of the scouts and the guards battalion. When he was so tired that he fell asleep, the unsupervised guards also relaxed their vigilance, and did not play a quick reaction role at all, and when Ma Chao passed through their defenses, the guards did not understand what was happening.

Xin Bi walked in quickly, and saw that Yuan Tan couldn't help himself up like a mess of mud, so he turned his head to look, picked up a plate of water that Yuan Tan had prepared for washing yesterday, and poured it all on Yuan Tan's face. Yuan Tan was stimulated by the cold water, shivered, and suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and it took a long time for his eyes to focus.

"George, what's wrong?" He immediately heard the sound of the gong that called the police, and his scalp immediately exploded, and he quickly got up and rushed out. Simbi stopped him and pushed him back onto the couch. Yuan Tan was so anxious that he shouted. "George, what the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing, Sun Ce is just kicking the camp." Xin Bi called the guards and asked them to change Yuan Tan's clothes. "Envoy, Sun Ce only has two hundred horsemen, and no matter how much trouble he makes, he won't be able to make any trouble. At this time, it is necessary to brake statically, not chaotic, and if it is chaotic, it will fall into his trap. ”

"Uh-oh." Yuan Tan nodded again and again.

The guards were busy changing Yuan Tan's clothes. Yuan Tan's face was full of water, his upper body was wet, and all his clothes had to be changed. Xin Bi sat aside, looking for his cheeks, his bloodshot eyes flashing from time to time, reflecting the dark circles under his eyes. Yuan Tan glanced at him twice, and then noticed that the clothes on Xin Bi's body were very neat, and it looked like he hadn't slept yet, at least he hadn't taken off his clothes to sleep.

The sound of gongs outside had stopped and was replaced by the sound of war drums, which required all battalions to strictly hold their positions and not to go out of the camp to fight without authorization. Yuan Tan thought of Xin Bi's words and felt ashamed. If it weren't for Simbi, he would definitely be in a mess at this time, and his first reaction was to send someone to meet him. If you do this, you will fall for Sun Ce's plan.

Sun Ce only has two hundred horsemen, even if they are all killed, a battalion can be as many as two thousand, or as few as a thousand, and it will take him a while to stand and let him cut it. By the time he had finished one battalion, the others were ready. However, if the battle is disorganized, the panicked soldiers can overwhelm the entire battalion, and may even spread to other battalions, causing the camp to roar. Once there is a roar, no one can control the situation.

He had already stepped on the edge of a cliff with one foot just now, and half a step further would have been shattered.

The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more scared he became, the water splashed by Xin Bi had already wiped it dry, but his back was still cold and swishing, and it was full of cold sweat.

"George, thanks to you."

Simbi frowned. "I can't figure out what Sun Ce wants to do, he doesn't think we are unprepared, right? Two hundred rides, what can you do? ”

"George, if it weren't for you, Sun Ce would probably have succeeded."

Simbi shook his head. "He knows what kind of person I am, and he should also know Zhu Ling, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ang. Judging by his tactics of ambushing Wen Chou, he will only overestimate his opponent, will not underestimate his opponent, and it is unlikely that he will hope for chaos in our army. ”

Yuan Tan originally thought that he understood very well, but after hearing Xin Bi say this, he realized that he didn't know what Sun Ce wanted to do at all. He was apprehensive, hurriedly changed his clothes, went out of the tent, came to the general's platform, and looked far away.

He quickly saw the direction of the enemy. There was a group of men and horses moving rapidly between the camps, judging by the speed, it should be cavalry, and it was rapidly approaching the Chinese camp from the periphery. Yuan Tan frowned, remembering Sun Ce's tactics of ambushing Wen Chou, it is said that more than ten horsemen suddenly came out of the Xia Pavilion and caught Wen Chou off guard.

Does he want to repeat his old tricks and raid my Chinese army?

Yuan Tan quickly checked it and shook his head again. He had more than fifteen thousand men, divided into eight battalions. The camp of the Chinese army is in the middle, and now the camp gate is closed, and the soldiers are ready to deal with the situation, especially the camp gate is full of people, and it is not easy to rush in.

"It's broken, it's a baggage camp." Simbi said suddenly.

Yuan Tan glanced back, saw that Xin Bi's face was pale, his eyes were frightened, and he was also taken aback, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the baggage camp.

Compared with other large battalions, the baggage camp is the most chaotic. In the two consecutive night battles, the consumption of each battalion was very large, especially the soldiers who had just worked all night needed to eat, and the baggage battalion needed to allocate materials, which was much busier than other battalions, not only the camp gate was wide open, but also there were many soldiers waiting to receive supplies inside and outside the battalion, most of these people had no weapons and had no defensive ability at all.

Simbi's eyes were red. "Envoy, immediately send the guards out of the camp to block the attack, and don't let Sun Ce enter the baggage camp." As he spoke, he rushed down the platform and ran towards the last gate of the baggage camp.

Yuan Tan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ordered the guards to find the guards and ride Sima, and let them go out of the camp to intercept.

The baggage battalion is next to the Chinese army camp, and the main gate is opposite a side gate of the Chinese army camp, so that the Chinese army commander can easily allocate materials and facilitate timely reinforcements in case of emergency. The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this is the common sense that anyone knows, the baggage battalion must be directly in the hands of the commander, unless there are special circumstances, each battalion only sends three days' rations, and every three days to the baggage battalion to receive it.

Simbi shouted as he ran. "Block the camp gate with a cart, and block the camp gate with a cart."

The soldiers on both sides looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was shouting. Xin Bi was so anxious that he ran out of breath, rushed to the gate of the camp, waved his hand again and again, and motioned to the soldiers guarding the camp gate to get out of the way, but he couldn't say a word. The soldiers were puzzled and looked at him anxiously.

Under Xinbi's gaze, Ma Chao took the lead, galloped along the passage between the two battalions, and rushed into the baggage camp. He took the torch from the camp gate, lit the torch he had brought, and threw it at the nearest grain hoard.

"Burn it for me, burn it all."

Pound and the others rushed in, took the anointed torches from the back of the horses, lit them on the fire in front of the tent, and rode their horses to the tall grain hoards, or the tents they saw along the way.

In an instant, smoke rose from the baggage camp.

Xin Bi was separated by two camp gates, watching Ma Chao and others galloping in the baggage camp, lighting one grain hoard after another, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with one butt. Almost at the same time, Yuan Tan also sat on the command platform, his face was pale and there was no trace of blood.
