(Mu \ Remnant \ Literature \ Learning:) The city of Wuchao City is dotted with many torches, like a lighthouse in the dark. But the torches did not move at all, indicating that the defenders were not alert. Yu Ban was very excited, the most difficult stage had passed, and the next thing was to complete the task of Cao Gongdai. Even, Yu Ban thought that he could blend into the city to kill the unprepared defenders and burn the grain and grass in the city.

Such a great achievement is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, Yu Ban also understood why Cao Gong deliberately told him that he could act cheaply this time.

Yu Ban was just about to give an order, but Jiang Ji's eyes suddenly froze, and he pressed down the hand he wanted to raise again. Yu Ban didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Ji made a reassuring gesture, and then threw the token to Captain Yuan at the front of the team: "The front is Wuchao City, you can go in and rest, and we will send it here." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The captain was grateful.

"By the way, the black nest is very heavily guarded, and you are outsiders who don't know the password, so it will be very troublesome to interrogate. After a while, someone in the city asked, and you simply said that you came to strengthen the garrison of the black nest, and you also saved some lips and tongues and rested early. ”

"Okay, okay."

The captain picked up the token and happily called out to his subordinates to rush towards the black nest. Jiang Ji asked Yu Ban's entire army to follow behind, but kept a certain distance, and when he walked four hundred steps from the edge of the city, he did not come closer. That was the farthest the defenders could look at in the dark. Then he and Yu Ban searched for the top of a hill and looked towards the black nest.

Yu Ban didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Ji's gourd, and asked him why he didn't attack when the Yuan army team entered the city gate. Jiang Ji frowned tightly and didn't answer, just stared at the city gate.

They saw that the Yuan army team walked to the gate of the city, raised their heads and shouted a few words. Suddenly, countless lanterns lit up at the top of the city, and countless crossbowmen poured up the walls and shot wildly at the city. The team was caught off guard and was wiped out almost instantly, with more than thirty corpses shot like hedgehogs. Soon the lanterns at the head of the city fell three times, and a wave of cavalry rushed out, circling around the corpses in front of the city, looking a little confused.

"What the hell is going on!?" Yu Ban was shocked inexplicably.

But Jiang Ji breathed a sigh of relief at this time, revealing an expression that was really like this: "While the lights are still on, General Yu, take a closer look." Yu Ban's eyes widened, and he finally realized that something was wrong. This is not a city wall at all, but consists of dozens of building cars side by side. The height of the building car was about the same as that of the city wall, and a large cloth painted in the color of city bricks was draped outside. Although this arrangement is extremely simple, the black nest is originally a very small city, and the vision at night is extremely poor, and it is difficult for sneak attackers to distinguish the difference between the two by looking at it closely.

"Let's go!" Yu Ban quickly got up.

He immediately realized that since the enemy had set such a trap, there must be ambushes around him. If we don't take advantage of the enemy's reaction now, I am afraid that we will soon be encircled.

The order was swiftly delivered to everyone, and the surprise troops immediately turned around and hurried towards the way they came. They hadn't walked more than two miles before they ran into a Yuan army head-on. This force consisted mainly of archers and shields, apparently for ambush purposes. They probably saw the lights of the Wuchao Fake City turn on, and hurried to set up an ambush, but they didn't expect the ambushed troops to turn around and rush over so quickly.

"Kill!"

Yu Ban only gave one order.

"General, remember, Duke Cao has an order, you can act cheaply. This battle, regardless of victory or defeat, is a great achievement! Jiang Ji hurriedly added behind him, Yu Ban was stunned at first, but then his face turned cold: "Kill!" ”

Although the Qingzhou soldiers under Yu Ban's command are lax in military discipline, they are all good at individual fighting, and what they are best at is chaotic warfare. In the darkness, the soldiers could not distinguish between friend and foe, they roared and waved their weapons in their hands, and they could only kill the enemy by direction - whatever they were wearing, as long as they were facing me, they were enemies. Yuan's ambush army, which was mainly based on long-range weapons, suddenly encountered hand-to-hand combat in the dark, and suddenly fell into chaos.

Archers who did not have time to shoot arrows were pierced by spears; The shield soldier tried to raise his shield to cover his body, but found that his companions around him were scattered, and the advantage of the shield array was gone, and the insidious blade could easily cut the waist from the side; Only a handful of sword and halberd soldiers were barely holding up, but a single slash would attract several times the number of counterattacks.

Under this ferocious and short blow, in just half a burnt of incense, this Yuan army was beaten into a plate of loose sand. Yu Ban didn't dare to fight, and led the team through the scattered formation and disappeared into the darkness. Because at this time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was already heard behind him—this was the sound of the cavalry troops in Wuchao City rushing in pursuit, and it was the rhythm of the strange force that was about to be wiped out.

"Mr. Jiang, I probably know what Cao Gong's plan is this time." Yu Ban said while grabbing the reins.

"Speak." Jiang Ji seemed quite interested, he liked to see a famous general under his influence, the process of becoming a wise and brave general.

"Cao Gong's original intention was to burn the grain and grass in the black nest. In this way, the Yuan army on the entire Yellow River front would completely collapse. But Yuan Shao is not incompetent, he has laid such an ambush in Wuchao, so he needs a bait to expose the entire ambush. And I, who has been to the Black Nest before, is the best candidate. Yu Ban's face was still very cold, and even at this time, his heart was very cold: "Gong Cao didn't tell me this, only told me to act cheaply, just because I was afraid that my performance in the battle would be too obvious......."

"That's half right." Although Jiang Ji's face could not be seen in the darkness, Yu Ban felt that Jiang Ji nodded, and continued: "This kind of thing as burning grain and grass has to be as simple as a bait to expose the entire ambush. Someone also needs to cooperate with this. We are just a small part of Cao Gong's layout, and Cao Gong's cheap behavior is not just as simple as exposing the ambush. ”

Yu Ban was a little surprised, at this time, he saw a mountain col in front of him, and he commanded his troops to run to that mountain col ** to defend the danger. The sword and shield man quickly set up a large shield in front of him, and the archer was in hand, viciously ready to shoot the pursuing cavalry at any time - the cavalry charged up the hill, which was not a rare option for the cavalry.

However, at this time, Jiang Ji looked around, but laughed, leaned over to Yu Ban's side and said, "General, you send dozens of soldiers to light a fire there, maybe we can watch a good show." ”

Yu Ban stretched out his eyes and saw a forest in front of him. Deng Shi understood what Jiang Ji meant: Since the Yuan family has ambushed the soldiers here, it is impossible to have only one place in Wuchao City. The mountains and forests here are all over the place, and the Yuan army should have divided the ambush soldiers into zero, divided them into dozens of teams, and evenly configured them with the fake city as the center of the circle. As soon as the enemy approaches the false city, they will attack it in groups from all directions, quickly forming an encirclement network.

Jiang Ji's actions before had already alarmed the guards in the city. And there was a fight before, and those soldiers who had been ambushed were probably already pouring out. If the general is in doubt, the Yuan army will definitely fight in the dark of night without distinguishing between each other - don't forget that Yu Ban's army is also wearing the uniform of the Yuan army.

Thinking of this, Yu Ban admired Jiang Ji even more, and quickly ordered the soldiers to behave like this: "Mr. Jiang, I finally understand why Cao Gong must appoint you to accompany the army. This battle really won't work without you. ”

"Don't worry, I said, the show has just begun." Jiang Ji smiled at Yu Ban again: "It's not that simple....... to act cheaply."
