Lu Bu occupied the Cangting, and it would take three or five days for Sima Yi's troops to arrive.

Attacking from behind, the soldiers of the Cao army led by Lu Bu only had one trench to rely on.

On the surface, Yuan Tan did have enough time to break through Lu Bu.

But he knew very well that if Lu Bu was not taken down within two days, Cangting would completely fall into the hands of Cao Jun.

After taking Lü Bu, he also had to build fortifications before Sima Yi arrived.

With the men and horses under his command, it may be enough to deal with Zang Ba and others, but in the face of Cao Shuo's soldiers, he is not an opponent at all.

That night, the army was stationed, but Yuan Tan did not feel sleepy at all.

Standing on the edge of the barracks, looking at the Cao Jun barracks in the distance.

There were bonfires lit up in the place where Lu Bu was stationed, and when he looked from his side, it was like stars twinkling at the edge of the Cangting Ferry.

"Invite the two Xin Gongs." After looking at it for a while, Yuan Tan instructed the guards on the side.

The guards departed.

After a while, Xin Ping and Xin Bi were ordered to arrive.

When they arrived at Yuan Tan's side, the two of them greeted him.

Xin Ping asked: "Gongzi called us over so late, could it be that he planned to attack the enemy army at night?" ”

"It is difficult to break through the Lü Bu defense line during the day, and it may be useful to raid at night." Yuan Tan said: "I plan to wait until it gets later and order the soldiers to attack." ”

"Childe's plan is not unreasonable." Xin Ping said: "But I don't think it's appropriate. ”

"Wrong?" Yuan Tan was stunned: "What does Gong Xin think is wrong?" ”

"Our army is stationed near the enemy army, if it is a childe, will you be wary of the enemy army taking advantage of the night to raid?" Xin Ping asked.

Yuan Tan frowned: "Of course I will be on guard." ”

"Now that the enemy army is on guard, how can Childe break through the trench?" Xin Ping asked Yuan Tan.

Thinking of the night attack, Yuan Tan's face was not very ugly.

But Xin Ping poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Yuan Tan's expression became ugly again.

"Is there nothing that can be done?" He asked Xin Ping and Xin Bi.

"It's inconvenient to attack at night, so it's better to wait until dawn." "Dawn is the time when people are at their most tired, and that's when they can attack at their best. ”

Looking at Xin Bi, Yuan Tan asked, "You also think the same way?" ”

"I feel the same way." Simbi replied, "If you attack at dawn, the chances of success are much greater. ”

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Since both of you think that you shouldn't attack, let Lu Bu stay free tonight, and wait until dawn to give him some color." ”

"I wish Childe a victory!" Xin Ping and Xin Bi said with their fists clenched at the same time.

Cao Jun barracks at this time.

Lu Bu sat in the tent.

Beside him sat several lieutenants.

The eyes of the captains were all focused on Lu Bu's face, waiting for him to give orders.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Looking around at the lieutenants, Lu Bu said: "Tonight is very critical, we must first wait for Yuan Tan to see if he will take advantage of the night to raid." ”

"Our army is ready, if Yuan Tan takes advantage of the night to raid, it is guaranteed that he will suffer more losses than during the day." A lieutenant said with his fists clenched.

"If he doesn't come to raid, we'll go get him." Lu Bu said: "Yuan Tan doesn't have much time, and he can't wait to drive our army away from Cangting immediately. ”

"It's up to him to think about everything, so we might as well not come." Another lieutenant said, "Please give the general an order, we will all move forward without death." ”

"Well said!" Lu Bu smiled and praised: "If everything goes according to Yuan Tan, what are we doing here?" ”

"This time to send troops to Qingzhou, you must understand a truth." Looking at the captains, Lu Bu said, "Once we are broken by Yuan Jun, give up the Cangting to Yuan Tan. Gongzi led the army to Qingzhou, and the battle will be extremely difficult. In case the war is unfavorable and Yuan's army enters Xuzhou, Huainan will be in danger. Since we were defeated, the people of Xuzhou, Huainan and Lujiang, as well as our families and relatives, could not afford to be defeated. ”

The captains all had solemn expressions on their faces.

Their families and relatives are all in Huainan.

Once Cao Shuo's army is defeated, Cao Shuo can still retreat to Xudu, but their families can only be slaughtered by Yuan's army.

They got up one after another, and several captains said to Lu Bu: "As long as the general gives an order, even if the bones are broken and ashes are scattered, we will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"That's enough!" Lu Bu also stood up: "I am willing to work with you to establish meritorious deeds for Gongzi!" ”

The night was getting darker and deeper, and Yuan's army did not attack.

The soldiers of the Cao army are quietly preparing.

They didn't wrap their horses in their hooves.

Wrapping horses' hooves is only chosen when marching so as not to make a sound.

It won't be long before Cao's army will launch a surprise attack on Yuan's army.

Only when the war horse can spread its hooves and gallop can it be integrated with the cavalry on horseback and exert the greatest lethality.

It's only a matter of time before your whereabouts are revealed.

It is impossible for Yuan Jun to be completely defenseless at night.

Instead of wrapping the horse's hooves in the warhorse, it is better to charge the enemy generously after launching an attack.

Carrying Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu walked back and forth in front of the soldiers.

He didn't say a word, and he didn't do any pre-station mobilization.

What should be said has been conveyed to him by the lieutenants.

Although the soldiers were silent, Lu Bu could feel that a warm blood was boiling in their bodies.

Every Cao Jun knew that this battle was related to whether Sima Yi could arrive in time.

And Sima Yi's arrival, he thought that this Cao army could not hold the Cangting.

As long as the Changting was guarded, Cao's army occupied the Yellow River.

Yuan's attack across the river will inevitably be greatly hindered.

Compared with the Yuan family, which had no naval army at all, although the naval army under Cao Shuo had relatively little training, they could play a key role on the water.

To defend the cangting is to keep the victory.

The soldiers of the Cao army were quickly prepared.

A lieutenant ran up to Lu Bu and whispered, "General, the soldiers are ready to set off at any time." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

With the order, he walked quickly to the red rabbit not far away.

The lieutenant waved his hand.

A thousand Cao soldiers mounted their horses one after another, inserting their lances into their weapon holsters on the side, and holding longbows in their hands.

The halberd pointed forward, and Lu Bu shouted, "Attack!" ”

The Cao Jun military camp, which was originally so quiet that you could hear even a needle dropping, suddenly became lively with Lu Bu's order.

The horses' hooves were rolling, and the soldiers of the Cao army rode their horses and charged.

The sound of hooves like thunder brought a wave of noise to the night.

Cao's attack soon aroused Yuan's idea.

"Enemy raid!" In the Yuan army's barracks, the soldiers in charge of monitoring Cao's army issued a warning.

Yuan Jun, who was asleep, heard the shouts and ran out of the tents one after another, and many of them didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they dragged their weapons and rushed out of the tents.
