As a pioneer general, Xu Huang personally led 500 elite ambushes to transport grain, which is enough to show the importance of this night attack on Wuchao.

The Youzhou army transporting grain was marching much slower than before, and the heart of Cao Jun, who was dormant on the hillside, began to fluctuate, waiting for Xu Huang to give the general order to charge.

Squatting beside Xu Huang, there was also a general of the Cao army.

This person was dressed the same as Xu Huang, but he was holding a spear in his hand, staring intently at the Youzhou army marching slowly like a snail under the mountain, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly from time to time.

This person's surname is Li Mingdian Mancheng, Juye County, Shanyang County, when Cao Cao led the army to defeat the Yellow Turban, he surrendered to Cao Cao's account.

In terms of martial arts, Li Dian is not as good as Xu Huang, but his rich experience in battle formations can make up for Xu Huang's shortcomings very well.

"General, the Youzhou Army has entered the ambush circle!" Staring at the Youzhou army led by Li Ergou, Li Dian reminded Xu Huang in a whisper.

"We ambushed the grain delivery team in order to be able to smoothly blend into the black nest!"

His eyes were still in the Youzhou army at the bottom of the mountain, Xu Huang paused, and continued to whisper to Li Dian: "Wait for them to go a little deeper, before they can launch an attack, and be sure that no one in this Youzhou army breaks through!" ”

Xu Huang said so, and Li Dian didn't want to say anything more, after all, Xu Huang was the main general, and he was the deputy general. When he looked at Youzhou, there was a greedy look in his eyes.

The more he walked inside, the more Li Ergou felt uneasy in his heart, and his intuition of fighting all year round told him that there was danger here. But on the hills on both sides, there is not even the shadow of half a person.

Holding the handle of the big knife tightly, Li Ergou frowned, and a pair of eyes kept looking at the hills on both sides.

The soldiers who followed Li Ergou also looked around nervously, and everyone didn't dare to slack off.

"Shoot the arrows!" Suddenly, Li Ergou heard a loud shout coming from the hillside.

Then, on the originally empty hillside, hundreds of figures immediately stood up.

The five hundred Cao troops who followed Xu Huang here had been in ambush for too long, and finally waited for the order to attack, and there would be a little delay one by one, so they all stood up and opened their bows to shoot. A rain of arrows was shot at the grain transport team below the mountain.

Five hundred soldiers of the Cao army, all carrying bows and arrows. Although he is not a professional archer, it is not difficult to draw a bow and shoot arrows.

Arrows flew towards the Youzhou army, and although they were protected by advanced armor, there were still some unlucky people who didn't have time to react at all, and they were shot to the ground by the arrows, screaming one after another.

After several rounds of being covered by a rain of arrows, nearly 100 people were shot and killed at once without defense. After a brief period of panic, the well-trained Youzhou soldiers began to form a defensive formation.

According to Xu Huang's general order, Cao Jun did not rush down the hillside in a hand-to-hand fight, but stood on the hillside and continuously released a rain of arrows to the Youzhou army below the mountain, with the intention of not giving up without shooting all the arrows.

When the first round of arrow rain came, Li Ergou shrewdly avoided a catastrophe, but he didn't expect that the first arrow would be followed by the second arrow. Although he was injured, Li Ergou instinctively picked up the big knife and defended indiscriminately.

"Shield Formation Defense!" Li Ergou shouted as he broke the tail of the arrow to facilitate his own battle.

Under Li Ergou's reasonable scheduling, the Youzhou army set up large shields one after another, and scattered small shield arrays slowly moved towards the rear.

Looking at the shield formation formed by the Youzhou army, Xu Huang frowned, he originally thought that the Youzhou army escorting grain and grass was very weak, but in the current situation, I am afraid that it is not weaker than the Youzhou army on the frontal battlefield of Guandu.

"Kill!" Xu Huang didn't hesitate, if the Youzhou army formed a complete array, it would not be easy to do.

Carrying a big knife and shouting, Xu Huang took the lead in rushing down the hillside. Immediately afterwards, Li Dian took the spear and followed without hesitation.

The main general was so brave that the elite of the five hundred Cao troops under his command all rushed down the mountain with a shout.

In the Youzhou military camp, Huo Yu made all the arrangements, and after everyone left, Huo Yu was still standing in front of the sand table and staring at the black nest.

"Dian Wei!" Huo Yu in the Ning Shen suddenly spoke.

"Lord!"

Ben Hou felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. Thou shalt go to the Nest immediately, and you must ensure the safety of the military division! ”

"No!"

Looking at Dian Wei, who was leaving, Huo Yu felt a lot more relieved in his heart. The sudden sense of foreboding just now made Huo Yu break out in a cold sweat.

Li Ergou tried his best, and in the face of Xu Huang's onslaught, he persevered for five rounds. However, the unyielding spirit of the Youzhou army made Cao Jun suffer.

Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, Xu Huang rejoiced: "If it is a fierce general in command, this Youzhou army escorting grain and grass can also be regarded as elite. ”

After a fierce battle, the Youzhou army that escorted grain and grass was annihilated. But there was no deserter, if Xu Huang hadn't killed Li Ergou first, I believe that the battle situation would be even more tragic than in front of him.

When the battle damage was counted, Xu Huang was shocked. There were less than 100 of the 500 elite people he had carefully selected, and 30 of them were still wounded.

"General Xu, is this really an army escorting grain and grass?" Li Dian asked a little stunned.

I have long heard that the Youzhou Army is the first in the world in terms of combat power, but Li Dian has never confronted each other head-on. However, today's battle made Li Dian see what is the strongest army in the world.

Not to mention the superiority of equipment, with the will to fight, Li Dian thought that under the same circumstances, he only had the right to retreat, let alone kill the enemy.

"Fortunately, we have achieved our goal, and the fallen soldiers will be buried on the spot!" Xu Huang sighed, and led the rest of the people to start cleaning up the battlefield.

As the sun set, Xu Huang and the others finally finished changing their clothes, so they kept the remnants of the army, escorted some of the grain and grass, and slowly walked towards the direction of the black nest.

In the night, Cao Cao led the army to quietly leave the camp in batches, and after the five-mile foreign exchange gathering, the 20,000 elite army went straight to the black nest.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Cao's army gathered 10,000 cavalry, which can be regarded as pressing on the old book. In order to prevent the neighing of the horses, each horse was chewed and the hooves were wrapped in thick linen.

The rapid march approached late at night, and the 20,000-strong army saw the huge Youzhou barracks in front of them from a distance. A brazier was lit at intervals in the camp, and flames sizzled in the wind.

With Cao Cao's order, the army gradually stopped advancing. After running for so long, it is necessary to give the soldiers enough time to rest.

"Order, after entering the grain camp, you can set fire everywhere." Looking at the huge grain land in front of him, Cao Cao looked envious, if these grains and grasses could be owned for themselves, how good it would be.

"No!" On horseback, Xiahoudun clenched his fists and promised, and then whispered an order to the Cao soldiers behind him: "Order, kill into the black nest and set fire everywhere!" ”

After the order was issued, Cao Cao waited quietly. Waiting for the moment when the vanguard army captures the camp gate, they can rush up.
