Chapter 253: Stealing Camps and Robbing Villages, Burning the Black Nest (2)
As the saying goes: 'Practice makes perfect, skill makes essence', the same is true for lying and deceiving people, the success of deception opened the first barrier, and the rest of the matter is much smoother, 10,000 Cao Jun elite dead soldiers, the more they go, the more they go, the more they go, the more they go, the more they pass through several barriers, no flaws are exposed, and they have also encountered strict interrogation during the period, relying on the flag to confuse, and the wine is a courtesy, all of which have passed without danger!
Of course, there are reasons why the road is so smooth: first, after more than half a year of confrontation, Yuan Jun is exhausted, and it is inevitable that he will have a sense of slackness, and it is even more unimaginable that the enemy dares to come to steal the camp and rob the village; Second, those forged flags, tokens, and talismans...... It has played a big role, it is really vivid, and it is true!
Some people suspect that after Xu You defected to Cao Ying, he would inevitably leak military secrets, Yuan Shao was not a scheming person, why not replace the flags, tokens, and talismans, and take precautions in advance...... The answer is: not no, but no!
First of all, Hebei's hundreds of thousands of troops, a large number of people, a huge establishment, all the replacement of flags, tokens, talismans, is not an easy thing, just to make these things, it takes a lot of manpower, material resources, and then distribute the various departments, and toss for a while, can not be completed for a while!
Secondly, flags, tokens, and talismans...... It is an important weapon in the army, and it is extremely important, from the production, distribution, use, and memorization...... It takes repeated training to make the army familiar with it, and if it is rashly replaced, the upper-level generals can say that the lower-level officers will inevitably make mistakes, and there will be a situation where 'the army does not know the symbols, and the soldiers do not obey orders', causing great confusion!
In the end, if it is a peaceful period, even if things are more troublesome, Yuan Shao will spend energy to replace all the flags, tokens, and military talismans, the problem is, now is the time when the two armies are facing each other, and when there is a life-and-death struggle, the slightest loophole may be used by the Cao army.
Considering the above points, Yuan Shao could only 'keep the same and respond to all changes', on the one hand, he ordered all the troops to stick to the barrier and step up the investigation, so as not to be found by Cao Jun, and on the other hand, he sent people to arrest Xu You's wife, concubine, and children, and put them all in the cell, trying to contain Xu Yu in this way, so that he would not dare to go too far!
It's a pity that Yuan Shao has no insight into people, Xu Yu is greedy and forgetful, his character is inferior, for the sake of glory and wealth, he will do whatever it takes, not to mention detaining his wife and concubines, children, even if he kills his father and mother, he is also 'keeping up with the money and never looking back!' ’
In this way, relying on seven points of human strategy, three points of heavenly help, and ten thousand elite dead soldiers of the Cao army, marched quickly, galloped, passed several barriers of the Yuan army, and finally advanced to the vicinity of Wuchaoze at midnight, and was one step closer to victory!
…………………………………………………………………………
'Wuchaoze' is located between Jishui and Pushui, the terrain is low-lying, the river is overflowing, the radius of dozens of miles, all are swamps, the silt is all over, the bottom is not visible, once the people and horses fall in, without a trace, they will die undoubtedly, it is a famous Jedi!
"Quack! …… Wail! …… Wail! ”
It is now the early summer season, the weather is getting hotter, in the dark swamp, frogs chirp, one after another, snakes, insects, rats and ants, shuttling back and forth, and some mud, floating people, animal bones, under the illumination of the moonlight, it looks eerie and terrifying, as if coming to the edge of hell, not to mention walking in, looking at it will be scattered!
"Goo! -Mutter! -Mutter! ”
Opening the road in the mountains and building bridges in the water, this is the task of the pioneer officer, the yellow squirrel put his hands together, let out three bird cries, and led the digger army, carrying straw, ropes, wooden planks, hammers, and steel drills...... Without hesitation, they walked towards the swamp, ready to use their lives to open a passage for the army!
The 'Tomb Robbers' have been walking underground all year round, accustomed to working in the dark, and after a long time, some people have also practiced the skill of 'night vision', and they don't care about the strength of the light, those floating bones...... Hehe, they dig graves all day long, touch gold in coffins, let alone watch, even if they sleep in their arms, there is no problem with them, they have no sense of fear for a long time, but they are very close!
"Brush! …… Brush! Brush! ”
The soldiers who walked in the front, holding a five-foot wooden pole, their task was to explore the way, the swamp terrain was complicated, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the false, some places seemed to be thick, and the bottom was full of silt, once the men and horses stepped on it, they would be dead; In some places, on the contrary, looking at the muddy, only a few feet of standing water, and below is solid ground, people and horses will not be in any danger when they walk over!
The task of these 'long-pole hands' is to find out the situation, make good marks, and find a way for the centaurs to survive in this Jedi, for safety, these people are all short and capable, and the three of them are connected together by ropes, wearing oversized straw sandals, even if they accidentally fall into the mud, they can be rescued!
The people in the back carried firewood, grass, planks, and ropes, and quickly paved the road along the marked places, and when they encountered particularly dangerous places, they would also insert a white pole to let the people behind be careful......
"The digger army has great skills and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, it is really a big killer weapon in the army, it cannot be underestimated in the future, and it must have a good relationship!"
Looking at the paved road, a group of generals did not say anything, but secretly admired in their hearts, because they were born as tomb robbers, the status of the 'diggers' was not high, and they were even discriminated against.
Even Cao Cao secretly decided that after the completion of the great work, he must give them additional officials and knights, and give them wives and sons, in addition, he must expand the establishment of the 'digging army' and continue to recruit strange people, no matter how filthy the background is, no matter how bad the character is, as long as there is a skilled elder, the old man can control it: only use his talents, not his heart!
The weasel led his brothers, who were working hard to pave the way, not knowing the praise of everyone, if they knew, they would definitely say: "The villain does not dare to take credit, this is the power of the great Sima!" ”
It turned out that before the 'digging army' went north, Xiao Yi found the weasel privately and confessed: 'Pay attention to the black nest and explore the road!' ’
The yellow squirrel didn't know why, but he had great trust in Xiao Yi, and kept it firmly in his heart, after coming to Guandu, he used his leisure time to sneak into the vicinity of the black nest several times, familiarize himself with the terrain, explore the road, and do it in his heart.
"Whoosh! …… Sou! …… Sou! ”
In the dark swamp, like a giant python, up and down, swimming forward, along the way, it was inevitable to encounter some dangers, and even there were casualties, but the whole army was united, and there was no retreat, or gradually approaching the black nest, and the victory was close at hand!
………………………………………………………………………………
On the other hand, besides, in the Wuchao, there are countless armaments, grain and grass hoarded, which is the lifeline of the Hebei army, Yuan Shao naturally did not dare to despise it, and sent 30,000 elite soldiers to garrison in the Wuchaoze, as for the person who led the troops, it was the famous general of Hebei - Chun Yuqiong!
Chun Yu Qiong, the word Zhong Jian, Yingchuan people, born in a famous family, the family is quite rich, since childhood to practice martial arts, good bow horses, famous for courage in the county, later to Luoyang to find a job, spend a lot of money, after some activities, in the Han Ling Emperor - Zhongping five years, appointed as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, officially entered the Han officialdom!
Later, Emperor Ling died, the palace was bloody, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the world was in turmoil, Chun Yuqiong defected to Yuan Shao, fought in the south and the north, did not obey, relying on the courage of a body, made a lot of achievements, won the trust of the Yuan family father and son, and gave the heavy responsibility of guarding the black nest, but no one is perfect, Chun Yuqiong is brave and good at fighting, loyal, but there is a big shortcoming - alcoholism like life!
The Han family is heroic, there are no ministers and generals, alcoholics abound, it is not a big deal, the problem is that Chun Yuqiong loves to drink too much, to the extent that he is addicted to alcohol, he can not go without eating for three days, he can't drink without drinking, he is often drunk like mud, delaying a lot of business, and his friends in the army have also advised him, but unfortunately the addiction to alcohol has become and it is difficult to quit!
In addition, Chun Yu Qiong was arrogant by nature, heard that Xiao Yi was unequaled in mass, and he was very unconvinced, and when he gathered to drink, he always spoke wildly, claiming that after breaking through Xuchang, he would definitely capture Xiao Lang alive and have a good competition to see who was the 'No. 1 Bacchus in the world'...... Ten Chun Yuqiong combined, but they can't beat one Xiao Lang!
Fortunately, although Chun Yuqiong is arrogant, he also knows the seriousness of the matter, since he was stationed in the black nest, the first few months were still good, managing the granary, building barriers, and personally arranging defense, especially on the passage, more than a dozen beacon towers were set up, once the enemy situation was discovered, the beacon fire was immediately lit, and the whole army could go into battle to kill the enemy!
But after a long time, the problem comes, guarding the granary, boring, the black nest area is narrow, can't play in the mountains and rivers, all day long in front of the swamp, listening to the toad, good people have to hold back the disease, in order to relieve loneliness, in recent times, Chun Yuqiong set up a banquet every day, and more than a dozen generals drank, often all night long, drunk like mud, rarely sober!
As the so-called upward and downward effect, the generals drank heavily day and night, ignoring military affairs, and the soldiers were slack, and some were in groups of three or five, following a few drinks, sending homesickness; Some hid in tents, sleeping heavily, pampered; Even the soldiers in charge of patrolling are fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, anyway, there is a swamp danger, can the enemy still fall from the sky?
It's a pity that there are only unexpected things, nothing that can't be done, just when Yuan's army was lax and fell asleep, 10,000 elite dead soldiers of the Cao army had already touched the edge of the black nest under the cover of night......
"Soldiers! - Kill into the enemy camp, burn grain and grass, make a contribution, and kill tonight! ”
Cao Cao made a quick decision, and after landing on the shore, he immediately commanded his men and horses, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and rushed straight to the opponent's camp!
"Kill! …… Kill! Kill! ”
The soldiers of the Cao army marched overnight, after a lot of hardships, just to make meritorious contributions, the black nest is in front of them, what is there to hesitate, so everyone is brave, one by one, wielding knives and guns, slashing and killing, it is really like a tiger entering the flock, rushing into the black nest camp......
"Oh no, the demons in the swamp have come ashore, everyone run!"
"It's not a ghost, it's an enemy attack...... Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
………………………………………
Looking at Yuan's side again, although there are 30,000 horses, they are unprepared, many people become headless ghosts in their sleep, and the rest of the people, even if they can't figure out the situation, and there is no general to command, they can only hold their heads and run around, and they can't organize resistance at all!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao's army divided into two routes, and a group of men and horses went straight to the Chinese army tent, preparing to seize Chun Yuqiong, and the Yuan army was undoubtedly defeated without a leader; The other team slaughtered the granary and continued to set fire along the way, and it must be burned clean......
"Whew! …… Call! Call! ”
On the day of early summer, the cool breeze gusted, and for a while, the wind borrowed the fire, and the fire helped the wind, and the entire Wuchao camp quickly became a sea of fire, reflecting half of the sky!
