Chapter 236: Night Chase
In the camp of Guandu, the lights are also bright at the moment. The sunset has already dispersed, not to mention that no one is looking to observe the natural scenery.
After Yuan Shao finished inspecting the barracks, he sat down cross-legged, took a breath, and said to Guo Tu next to him: "What is the situation now?" β
Guo Tu said: "The other side is still closed. We have built a well fence, but the height is not enough, and it is still being improved. Digging a hole in the ground doesn't seem to work, either. β
Yuan Shao scolded: "They are just such people, they can't beat them." β
Guo Tu was a little embarrassed and said: "The strong wall doesn't come out." β
Yuan Shao said: "There are so many of us, each of us smashing a stone is enough to kill him, right?" β
Guo Tuwei promised: "The truth is so. The catapult also arrived in a few days ......"
Feng Ji interjected on the side: "I heard a news today, Cao Renbu on the other side's left flank seems to have gone north, and they have lost contact for several days. β
Yuan Shao let out a breath and asked, "Oh? That's just a few thousand people, where did they go? Did you arrange Liu Xuande's trip before? If I knew that it was his righteous brother who killed me, Yan Liangwen and Chou, I would not give him a single soldier. β
Feng Ji said with a smile: "What we gave him are some old and weak soldiers, in fact, it is just an idle move, and it is better to talk than nothing." Moreover, I heard that he was dispersed by Cao Ren on the first day, and he himself fled to Runan. β
Yuan Shao snorted and said, "It's really useless." β
But Guo Tu handed Feng Ji a grateful look, but fortunately he spoke out in time, and Yuan Shao's anger did not affect him. In fact, there has been no improvement on both the offensive and defensive sides in the past few days, and people's patience has been exhausted. He can also understand Yuan Shao's mood.
Feng Ji said: "But I heard that several Yellow Turban remnants in Runan were mixed up with Uncle Liu Huang, one named Gong Du, the other named Pei Yuanshao, and several wealthy families launched a rebellion. β
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "It's really happy." This Liu Xuande has no ability to fight, and he still has a set of inciting people's hearts. Speaking of which, Runan is still my Yuan family's hometown, although the family was defeated by my unsuccessful brother, but the prestige of the township is still there. With such a fuss, Cao Mengde should also be upset. β
He turned his head to look at Guo Tu and said, "No, it stands to reason that Runan rebelled, and Cao Renbu should be allowed to go south to suppress bandits, why did he go north instead?" There's no problem with our blacknest granary, right? β
Guo Tu responded in a timely manner: "There is no problem, the two generals Gao Ran and Zhang He are there, and there is no mistake." β
"That's good."
Guo Tu hurriedly wiped a cold sweat.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the camp, and Yuan Shao asked, "What's the matter?" β
"It seems that Lord Xu Yu asked to see ......" Feng Ji said: "A few days ago, his family was detained by the trial and ration in Yecheng, as if he had committed something. I guess it's to ask the lord to intercede. β
Yuan Shao waved his hand irritably and said, "What kind of is this?" Missing! When is it, and it's still coming to make trouble. You let him and the judges figure it out on their own......"
When it gets dark, the weather immediately turns cold. Yuan Xi followed the march of the large army and exhaled a big breath of white air.
Still don't know what's going on?
A madman rushed in with a few cavalry, shouting and killing, and as a result, his own troops were scattered to pieces.
I've never seen this kind of play in my life, so shouldn't that person die?
However, I have to admit that this kind of lethal play is indeed very effective, compared to Cao Ren's lukewarmness, this is the way to work directly. It's so fast, so fast that there's almost no reaction.
Zhao Yun and himself were separated, and the situation was urgent, Zhao Yun led people to resist for a while, successfully slowing down the rhythm of the other party, and successfully buying time for himself to retreat.
Tian Yu and Tian Feng are still by their side, and Lou Jingshu is also there, but there are only a few people left around, and they haven't had time to count yet, but there are definitely less than a hundred people.
After the madman rushed in, Cao Ren's army suddenly threatened as well, as if it had been discussed, and he was suddenly embarrassed.
Could it be that Cao Ren pestered himself before, just to wait for this sudden blow? In terms of timing, it's quite appropriate. But why not sacrifice this trick from the start. This obscene fat man is too bearable.
"Who's that madman?"
No one answered him in the dark.
"Do the lost know how to get back?"
"There was a plan before, and there will be a way to get in touch. But we'll have to wait until dawn. β
This is Tian Yu answering himself.
Since it's dark, even if it's Cao Ren's troops, they don't dare to do anything, right?
Immediately, however, the torches lit up behind them spoke for themselves.
The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth suddenly smiled: "I really appreciate this obscene fat man more and more, do you want to have a night battle with us?" β
Tian Feng reminded: "Cao Ren is a beautiful man......"
Yuan Xi said: "I haven't seen it again, can I be a fat man for the time being?" β
Tian Yu coughed and said: "We have practiced in night battles, so there should be no problem with self-preservation." β
Yuan Xi said: "That's okay, play with them." β
In the dark, no one can tell who is who, all kinds of undercurrents are surging, and the troops are moving, but quietly.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, like a dark thunder that pierced the silent night, and flashed across a field. A pair of ears suddenly stood up, and torches were thrown in this direction. However, nothing.
"Behind youβ"
A scream ensued, which was heart-palpitating.
"Damn, there, chase-"
There was a rustling sound, full of the footsteps of the pursuers.
Cao Ren put on his battle robe and personally stepped on a group of horses, and a partial general beside him said, "General, you don't have to go in person." β
He smiled, a trace of hideousness flashed on his white face, and said, "If I don't go, that guy will definitely laugh at our Cao family boy." β
After that, he led only a dozen people to follow him, and rushed out of the camp like a whirlwind with steps.
The wind whispered, and occasionally footsteps, fights, and then silence. Yuan Xi's troops all have a way of fighting, and the signal in the dark is also very clear, that is, by sound. The most important thing in fighting in the dark night is the signal of communication, and this set of rules has been trained in Yuyang before.
Yuan Xi took the people and horses in a roundabout, like a stick sticky to flies, not only disgusting the other party, but also intercepting many lonely companions. Along the way, more and more people accumulated, and it took a few seconds to find their place. The marshalling is quite flexible. Little by little, the advantages slowly accumulate in the dark.
Time passed little by little, and slowly the other party began to gather together again while cursing, obviously knowing that his side had suffered a dark loss.
Yuan Xi laughed: "You know it's amazing, this obscene fat man!" β
Suddenly, there was a fire in front of me, and I almost couldn't open my eyes.
A group of centaurs staggered past them, and the two sides on the horse glared at each other, both secretly regretting that they did not dock.
Yuan Xi saw that the opposite side was clearly with a long beard and a very thoughtful face, that is, a little chubby, but white and clean. The other party was in a firelight, and he also stared at him at a glance. Yuan Xi suddenly showed a malicious smile at the other party.
Mingjin sounded in the dark night, and the sky was white.
"Collect the troopsβ"
