655, don't let Zhang Liao go!

The camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba also covers an area of several miles, like a town-like range.

Now Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng broke a camp entrance, which can only be regarded as the outermost area of the camp, so if you want the night attack to succeed, you must make the entire camp chaotic.

"Hou Cheng, lead the troops to follow! Don't go too deep! ”

Although the night attack seemed to be going very smoothly so far, Zhang Liao still cautiously instructed Hou Cheng, this matter was too smooth, and Zhang Liao had an inexplicable worry.

Therefore, he was only going to take the cavalry into it, but he didn't want the other infantry to fall into it, and he needed to reserve a way for himself to retreat.

Of course, if the night attack is really successful, in fact, there is no need for too many soldiers to kill it, as long as Zhang Liao drives away the chaotic Liu Bei and Zang Ba soldiers in the camp, it is enough to make the entire camp chaotic.

In the dark, maybe Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers can kill each other, which is also the advantage of night raids.

In this battle, Zhang Liao did not seek to break the enemy in one battle, but only wanted to disrupt the offensive of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army and delay the time of Pengcheng's defensive battle, so Zhang Liao did not necessarily have to cause much damage to Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army.

If this camp can be set on fire, and the grain, grass and materials of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's armies can be burned, then it will be regarded as a great success.

Then Zhang Liao did not wait for Hou Cheng's response, and rushed directly into the camp with three hundred iron cavalry, and went straight to the camp area where the soldiers in front were resting, while assassinating and chopping the chaotic soldiers with the knife in his hand, and on the other hand, he stirred the wood in the bonfire to those camp tents, igniting the cloth camp tents, and increasing the destructiveness of the night attack.

Under the drive of Zhang Liao and the cavalry, the chaotic soldiers around them inevitably fled towards the core area of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp, and where the three hundred cavalry passed, a continuous fire was burned.

As for Hou Cheng, he waited until the follow-up infantry came before he followed into the camp, but Hou Cheng did not lead the troops to go too deep, but personally led the troops to guard the gap in the broken camp wall, and then sent hundreds of people to disperse inside to continue to set fire to the camp.

Obviously, Hou Cheng remembered Zhang Liao's entrustment, of course, it is also possible that Hou Cheng himself did not want to take too much risk, so if he stayed here, he could escape at any time.

Not to mention Hou Cheng, just say that Zhang Liao led the cavalry to trample on the military tents in the camp all the way, driving away the chaotic soldiers, and gradually approached the central area of the camp.

Suddenly, there was a fire in front of him, but there were thousands of soldiers who seemed to have been prepared, and they came out of some camp tents in full armor, and it turned out that there were Liu Bei's soldiers in ambush here.

Now that the ambush appeared, there were also murderous voices for a while, "Kill, kill!" Don't let Zhang Liao go! "Rush, surround them!" ”

Then a red-faced and long-bearded general wearing a green robe, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, also appeared in the ambush on horseback, it was Guan Yu, the general under Liu Bei's account.

At this time, Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao, who was slightly surprised in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh loudly with his long beard in his hand, "Wen Yuan, a certain family knows your temperament, so I guessed that you will come to rob the camp tonight, so I am waiting here, if Wen Yuan is acquainted, he can not get off the horse and avoid war, but also protect the friendship between the two of us!" ”

"Hmph, Guan Yu, how can you stay in a certain family!"

Zhang Liao said in his mouth, but he didn't dare to really continue to rush forward to kill, so he pulled the reins and flicked the horse's head, and shouted at the three hundred iron horsemen behind him, "Quickly retreat, kill out!" ”

"Drive!"

Zhang Liao then rode his horse and turned to one side, but he took the three hundred cavalry in the rear to find a direction to retreat, and for a while, no one could stop their castration.

Guan Yu looked carefully in the back, frowning slightly, and at this time Guan Yu realized that Zhang Liao had only brought three hundred cavalry over, and there were no other soldiers behind him.

It was really not an easy thing to stop Zhang Liao's cavalry like this.

Therefore, Guan Yu could only order, "Come on, leave a soldier and horse to appease the rebels, and the others will follow a certain person to chase after him!" ”

Immediately, Guan Yu took more than 2,000 ambush soldiers to chase in the direction where Zhang Liao fled, while the other probably 1 or 2,000 ambush soldiers began to stop the chaotic soldiers who were driven by Zhang Liao.

In fact, these so-called chaotic soldiers were just recruited new soldiers and young men, and they were bait that Liu Bei and Guan Yu deliberately placed on the periphery of the camp to deceive Zhang Liao.

It's just that Guan Yu still didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so bold, and he dared to rush into the camp with only three hundred cavalry, but there were not many other foot soldiers with him, so the ambush soldiers on Guan Yu's side were equivalent to smashing their fists into the air, but there was no way to contain Zhang Liao's night attack army here.

Although Guan Yu guessed that Zhang Liao might lead troops to attack at night, he was not very sure where Zhang Liao would come from.

At the same time, this camp is also surrounded by plains, it is difficult to find a place to ambush, and it is impossible to make the camp really become an empty village to make a trap, so after Guan Yu designed, he asked Liu Bei and Zang Ba to arrange auxiliary soldiers and civilian service on the periphery, and left the elite soldiers in the core area of the camp.

Then, in some key areas, it was arranged for the soldiers to wear armor and rest in batches, so that when they heard the movement of the enemy's attack, they could get up and meet the battle at any time.

These soldiers can also be regarded as ambushes, but they are a little more feasible to improvise.

According to Guan Yu's plan, after Zhang Liao's surprise attack was made, the ambush soldiers appeared to contain Zhang Liao's night attack army, and then the soldiers and horses surrounded from all over the place, so that Zhang Liao could be besieged in the camp.

But now that Zhang Liao only brought 300 cavalry, at such a speed, it would not be so easy to encircle Zhang Liao.

Besides, after Zhang Liao led the troops to kill in, he also set fire to the tent all the way, and now under the blowing of the turbulent wind, there are still many places in the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba that are ignited by sparks, so it is even more difficult to contain Zhang Liao's cavalry.

Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, still underestimating Zhang Liao's courage.

But now Guan Yu has no other choice but to chase Zhang Liao, only hoping that there are other ambushes in front of him to block Zhang Liao's way, so that at least Zhang Liao can stay today.

It's just that after Zhang Liao knew about the plan, where did he dare to stay more, relying on the fact that the cavalry he led was a heavily armored cavalry with full armor, but he retreated to the road where the fire had already broken out.

Seeing the tent that was on fire in front of him, he also used the knife in his hand to open it first, and then rode straight over, but before Liu Bei and Zang Ba ambushed him, he had already retreated to the opening where he had entered.

Guan Yu was led by infantry in the back, where could he catch up with Zhang Liao's cavalry, that is, Guan Yu's own speed of driving a horse was okay, and he could still chase closely, and most of the other infantry were left behind.

"Where is Zhang Liao, where is Zhang Liao, and look at the power of a certain Zhangba snake spear, where is Zhang Liao, where is Zhang Liao!"

Not long after, there seemed to be another person shouting in Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp, it was Zhang Fei who could drink the backflow of dangyang water, and at this moment he also rushed over with a horse and a gun......
