Chapter 45: A Busy Night
Hearing this, Gao Ye hurriedly got up, and Gao Ye, who hadn't slept well all night, suddenly got up suddenly, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info shook his body in the high night, and finally came to his senses, only to see that his own soldiers were already kneeling in front of him at this time, panting, and said: "General, General Zhou Cang has found the traces of the enemy army, and he has already handed over the opponent. ”
"yes, I see. What's going on out there now? Gao Ye tried to keep his composure and spoke.
"General Qiyu, now that the enemy has entered the camp, General Gao Shun is blocking it. Fortunately, General Zhou Cang found out in time, and General Gao Shun's soldiers and horses met him again, which made the army prepared and not in a hurry. When I came, the soldiers and horses of the battalions had basically been assembled, and now they were all going to the camp gate to reinforce them. ”
"How many soldiers and horses are there from the enemy?" Gao Ye continued to ask as he summoned someone to put his armor on him.
"It's dark, and the little ones don't know." The soldier said with an embarrassed face, after all, Zhou Cang asked him to come and report quickly, and he immediately ran over. Zhou Cang didn't say how many enemy troops came, too, how could the black light know the exact number of enemy troops? What's more, he is just a pawn, the big camp was attacked by others, and his superiors let him do whatever he wanted, where can he take care of estimating how many enemies are coming when he is panicked.
When Gao Ye heard this, he just nodded, and finally finished his armor, and strode out of the camp with the phoenix wings and gold boring. At this time, the shouting and killing had already been heard, and the personal soldiers of Yu Ban and Xu Huang had also run over, reported the current position of the second general, and prepared to send back Gao Ye's instructions. And at this moment, Gao Shun's soldiers also hurried over, and when they saw Gao Ye, they immediately saluted and said: "General Yu, General Gao's order is small, and the enemy army is probably no less than 20,000 horses, led by Chen Ji, a general under Yuan Shu." Now 20,000 horses are all killed by the Chinese army. The two battalions on the left and right have not found any enemy situation so far. General Xu Huang and General Yu Ban have not yet been killed at this moment. ”
When Gao Ye heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I know." Then he looked at the guards of Yu Ban and Xu Huang and said: "Go back and tell Yu Ban to divide the troops immediately, and leave 5,000 men and horses in the left battalion where he is to wave the flag and shout, and make a suspicious posture." The rest of the men and horses immediately went to the front camp and listened to the command of General Gao Shun. The same is true of Xu Huang's right battalion. As soon as Chen Ji retreats, I will immediately kill him from the left and right battalions and catch him off guard. ”
"Whoa!"
"Alright, you guys go first." The two of them got the order of the high night general, and hurried back. Gao Ye immediately stepped on his horse and led his own soldiers to the gate of the camp. At this time, although Gao Ye hurriedly rushed to the front camp, to be honest, he really couldn't understand Yuan Shu's approach to attacking the camp. He Yuan Shu has always attached importance to the façade of the fourth and third princes of his Yuan family, and he has agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow, why did he come to attack tonight? Especially now that he still claims to be the Son of Heaven, Jun Wu joked that this happened to him now, so he wouldn't feel strange. It's just that why did he change his temper now and do such a miraculous thing? Fortunately, he asked Zhou Cang to inspect carefully tonight, otherwise, if he couldn't wait for the decisive battle tomorrow, he would have to retreat to Zhaoling.
Chen Ji's attack did cause some confusion among the defenders at first. However, when Gao Shun and other generals were usually training soldiers, they would often come to an emergency assembly in the middle of the night, so that once they were attacked by others at night, the army could quickly gather, find their commanders, and prepare for battle. In this way, although the night attack made the army panic, in less than a cup of tea, all the soldiers had already lined up, which also made Xu Huang and Yu Ban breathe a sigh of relief. The main thing in a night attack is to attack it unprepared. Now that the army has been arrayed, what is there to worry about?
After receiving Gao Ye's general order, the two immediately assigned their men and beat the war drums, pretending to be suspicious. When the rest of the men and horses arrived at the front camp at night, they all came. Gao Shun, who originally only had 10,000 horses on hand, is now even more powerful. Although Chen Ji's soldiers and horses were numerous, and they even set fire to the front camp, the 20,000 horses were still evenly matched under Gao Shun's defense. Especially as soon as Gao Shun's trapping camp made a move, Chen Ji was defeated and retreated, and now he is about to withdraw from Gao Ye's camp.
Now Gao Ye, Yu Ban, and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses have arrived, especially Chen Ji, who has seen Gao Ye's phoenix wings and gold boring from a distance, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay? Anyway, this time he was just to harass and cover the withdrawal of the large army. Now that the enemy army is ready to start a full-scale counteroffensive, his night attack has to come to an end. Especially listening to the drums and shouts from the left and right battalions, Chen Ji knew in his heart that if he didn't leave at this time, he really couldn't go. I am here to cover the army, not to die.
Therefore, Chen Ji gave an order, and the whole army retreated. Yuan Shujun, who was already fighting very hard, was even more amnesty after hearing this military order, and they all hurriedly ran out. Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were about to pursue, who would have thought that another wave of rockets would attack outside the camp gate, and even when Chen Ji was retreating, there was an army that spread hay and grease outside the camp gate, Gao Shun wanted to pursue, and this round of rockets burned the front of the camp into a sea of fire. Even if you want to chase, you are powerless. Chen Ji took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly retreated.
However, he thought that his retreat could be smooth and smooth, but who would have thought that Gao Shun, who had stopped the front battalion, could not stop Xu Huang and Yu Ban, who were killing from both sides. Without noticing for a while, he was killed by the two of them, and the soldiers who were originally taking care of the situation were in chaos in an instant. Coupled with Xu Huang's martial arts, he is even more clever, and a big axe dances, and the tiger is vigorous. The ordinary soldiers had few enemies in front of him. On the other side, although Yu Ban's martial arts do not need Xu Huang, he is not bad, so he has been rushing to kill the Yuan Shu soldiers who have been blocked in the front camp and have not been messed up, and under the siege of these two people, it has completely become a rout. Even Chen Ji is face was bitter, and the fraud he said was a real defeat this time! But in this way, it can also make Gao Ye believe that he is really defeated. I hope Gao Ye can be smart and guess that His Majesty has retired. When the time comes, as soon as he comes to pursue, he and General Qiao Rui have already set up an ambush in the camp of Zhengqiang, so that Gao Ye can also taste what it is like to fail!
Although Chen Ji's idea was good, the approaching shouting and killing couldn't help but make him come back to his senses from his fantasy. Chen Ji, who had been hurrying up, didn't know if he didn't look at it, and when he turned around, he really took a big jump. I saw a general, holding a big axe, chasing after him tightly. Seeing his armor, Chen Ji knew that this person must be the general of the Cao army. Especially after hearing the shout of "Xu Huang is here", my heart is even clearer. After all, Li Feng's last temptation, the guy who came to meet him, wasn't it called Xu Huang! It's just that Li Feng also said that that person's martial arts are not worth mentioning. Li Feng's ability is not as good as his own, he thinks that Xu Huang's martial arts are average, so he is not sure to win!
Thinking of this, Chen Ji reined in his horse, then turned around and shouted: "How dare Xu Huang chase after him, see me Chen Ji kill you!" "After all, Chen Ji's deception today has become a real rout, and when the 20,000 horses go back, I don't know how many will be left. If he can kill the general of the Cao army, it will be a great achievement, and it will be worth the crime of his current defeat. Besides, I want to climb up again, otherwise I won't be looking for a beauty for Your Majesty, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, now that there is such a good opportunity, how can I not seize it?
As for Gao Ye, if he knew that Xu Huang had died in battle, would he continue to pursue in a fit of anger, or would he stop in a panic, he didn't need to think about it at all. Anyway, chasing after me, there is an ambush on the side. Stopping at this point has won Yuan Shu time to retreat, no matter how you count it! Therefore, Chen Ji patted the horse and danced the knife and took Xu Huang directly.
That Xu Huang originally looked at Chen Ji in front of him, and naturally he would not have no thoughts in his heart. Since he surrendered to Cao Cao, he has not made many military achievements. Now with Gao Ye, delaying the enemy army here is not a big credit. After all, it's just a delay, although if Cao Cao can win calmly, Gao Ye's containment is essential. But Cao Cao's side is the highlight of the credit. If he wins, whether in terms of the results of the battle or the number of enemies killed, his side will not be able to compare at all. Therefore, Xu Huang, who is eager to make meritorious contributions, sees that Chen Ji is here, how can he not catch up? After all, killing the enemy general is also a great achievement!
It's just that Chen Ji is a little far away from him, although the horse under his crotch is much more than Chen Ji's divine horse, but it is really difficult to catch up with him at this distance. It's unthinkable that things happened like this, that Chen Ji didn't know what kind of wind he smoked, and he actually turned back! This time it was in Xu Huang's arms. Seeing that Chen Ji was stabbing with a gun, Xu Huang even swiped a big axe, and made a mess with Chen Jizhan.
As the saying goes, as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. Chen Ji, who fought with Xu Huang for two rounds, how could he not know how clever Xu Huang's martial arts were. It seems that he fought with Li Feng that day, and he didn't use all his strength at all. Also, Li Feng's temptation at that time seemed to be more like an ambush in the high night, if so, what is so strange about this Xu Huang pretending that he can't beat Li Feng in order to lure the enemy deeper. Hey, Li Feng, Li Feng, you hurt me today! This Xu Huang is really amazing!
Chen Ji blamed Li Feng in his heart, blaming himself for being greedy for merit, but where did Xu Huang manage so much, and taking the head of the enemy general was the only thing Xu Huang thought in his heart. Chen Ji's ability was not as good as Xu Huang's, and he was distracted in his heart, and his flaws were exposed. Xu Huang saw the opportunity, and when the second horse staggered, he cut off half of Chen Ji's head with an axe. Seeing that Chen Ji was dead, Chen Ji's corporal was even more panicked, and fled in the direction of Zhengqiang even more desperately. Xu Huang wanted to chase again, only to hear a person behind him shouting loudly: "General Xu, General Xu, there is a military order!" ”
"Speak."
"General Gao ordered, poor Kou Mo chase, return to the camp immediately."
