Chapter 618: Trap (2)

Today's first shift, before 10 o'clock the second shift. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Finally went home, the toss was miserable!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For two days, the wind was calm.

Whether it was Liu Hu or Cao Peng, they all seemed very restrained, and the two sides did not fight again. However, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the big war. Once the battle is engaged, it will inevitably be bloody and fierce. While resting, the two sides are also deploying troops. Runan guarded Li Tong too much, issued a conscription order in Pingyu, and gathered troops and horses with Langling, and may be stationed in the Nanyang area at any time.

And Liu Hu also asked Xiangyang for help.

Although Liu Biao was still hesitant, he sent the general Wen Ping to gather in Deng County and make a gesture of support.

After Liu Bei shrank his forces, he had already stabilized his position. After testing with Cao Jun twice, he didn't get much gain. Wei Yan set up troops and horses at Nanshan Pass, gathering from the sunset to Nanshan Pass, forming a powerful barrier. It was in these two trials that Wei Yan showed extraordinary tactical literacy. No matter how Liu Bei tempted, he followed Cao Peng's orders and couldn't stick out.

At the same time, Nanshankou and Sunset Gathering echoed each other, forming an extremely effective clamp on Wancheng Liu Bei.

In terms of Thorn Yang, Du Ji, Deng Zhi and Xu Yi are fighting steadily, relying on the barrier of the southern ferry to threaten Nieyang when they advance, and they can defend the east bank of Thorn Water when they retreat. Guan Yu also launched several attacks, but in the end, it was in vain. As a result, the two sides formed a balanced situation, and each other contained each other. And everyone's eyes were invariably focused on Huyang.

It was in this tense situation that the people of Nanyang gradually forgot Cao Cao, who was fighting in the north.

The day after Cao Peng arrived in Huyang, Jia Xu returned to Wuyin.

Accompanying him to Nanyang, there was also Xiahou Shang, the captain of the shooting sound school, and 3,000 soldiers and horses of the shooting sound battalion, and they were stationed in Wuyin County. When Jia Xu arrived, Yang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. On the day Jia Xu arrived in Wuyin, he led a temporary conscription of 3,000 soldiers and horses to march to Nanshan.

And just when Yang Wei set off, thousands of miles away in Wuzhong County, Cao Cao led Zhang Liao, Xu Chudianwei, and the three of them, with Cao Zhangniu Gang as the front vanguard, and Wu Zhong Tian Chou as the guide, quietly climbed Xu Wushan, out of Lulongsai, and marched towards Liucheng. However, Guo Jia did not accompany the expedition because of the unaccustomed water and soil. Instead, Xun Yu accompanied him...... Originally, Guo Jia strongly asked to set off together, and even once said that Cao Cao was moved. But Dong Xiao, the accompanying imperial doctor, was resolutely opposed. He also stated that if Guo Jia goes on the expedition, it is likely to aggravate his condition, and his life will be difficult to protect at that time. After hesitating for a long time, Cao Cao still decided to listen to Dong Xiao's persuasion and refused Guo Jia's request to go on the expedition. So, Guo Jia continued to stay in Wuzhong County, and found someone to disguise Cao Cao's appearance to confuse Yuan Jun's sight.

The battle of Liucheng is about to break out.

It's just that no one noticed that by the side of the forward army Cao Zhang, there was one more person unknowingly, staring at Tian Chou.

This person is also the one who came to congratulate Cao Peng on his orders......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The battle of Huyang was suspended for two days.

At night on the third day, Li Jue suddenly gave an order to set up troops and horses.

Whether Huang Zhong colluded with Cao Peng will be known tonight. Li Qi couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and after discussing with Liu Hu, he decided to lead his troops first and attack Cao's camp at night. If Cao's army camp did not take precautions, it means that what was said in that letter is true, and there is collusion between Huang Zhong and Cao Peng. In this way, Li Jue happened to rob the camp, and then took advantage of the situation to defeat Cao's army and boost morale; If Cao's army camp is on guard, it means that there is no collusion between Cao Peng and Huang Zhong. At that time, Li Qi was under siege, and Liu Hu took the opportunity to attack outside. According to Li Jue: This is called praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. Liu Hu attacked as the yellow finch and cooperated with Li Qi, and the Cao army would be defeated. Therefore, regardless of whether Huang Zhong and Cao Peng colluded, this battle is imperative in Li Qi's view.

Three thousand soldiers and horses followed Li Qi and quietly left the Jingzhou camp and approached the Cao camp.

The night is deep, and the clouds cover the moon.

From a distance, in the camp of the Cao army, the lights are bright.

Li Qi took a deep breath, pulled out his sword, pointed straight ahead, and let out a shout: "Sons, rush with me!" ”

The three thousand Jingzhou soldiers let out a heaven-shattering shout, and rushed into the gate of the Cao army's camp with Li Qi. However, as soon as he entered the camp, Li Jue suddenly felt that something was wrong. It's just that in this Cao army camp, it is too calm...... Such a huge movement, but there is no trace of Cao Jun. Li Qi hurriedly urged his horse to come to a military tent and opened the tent curtain with his sword, but saw stacks of firewood stacked in the camp tent.

Hit the trick!

Li Jue suddenly came to his senses.

At the same time, he also determined in his heart that Huang Zhong did not collude with Cao Peng.

This is an empty camp, and the Cao army has an ambush.

Li Qi hurriedly shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

He turned his horse's head and was about to rush out of the camp. But he heard a burst of banging sounds, followed by a burst of shouts and killings outside Cao Ying.

"Hugh is gone!"

With this shouting and killing, from the rear of Cao Ying, a group of men and horses suddenly came out.

After gaining a firm foothold outside the camp, the archers set fire on the arrows and fired their bows and arrows into the camp.

Li Yan jumped on his horse and held a gun, pointing at the barracks from afar.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired.

The rocket whizzed through the air and flew into the camp.

The tents in the camp were smeared with fire oil, and when they caught fire, they started up. And the firewood piled up in the military tent was ignited and instantly spread throughout the camp. This is a treacherous plan, a treacherous plan that Cao Jun has designed a long time ago. They saw the contradiction between Liu Hu and Huang Zhong, so they provoked Liu Hu's suspicion of Huang Zhong. Whether it was the previous respect for Huang Zhong, or the letter that was smeared later, whether it was Liu Hu or Li Qi, the reaction they wanted to make had already been calculated clearly by Cao Peng and others.

Li Qi's face changed greatly, he shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers to rush outside the camp.

But since you're here, how can it be so easy to leave?

Li Yan led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and the archers lined up and sealed the gate of the camp. Rockets flew into the camp and burned as soon as they touched the tent. In the entire camp, nearly 1,000 tents and more than 10,000 catties of firewood spread rapidly once they burned. At the same time, Kuai Zheng led the soldiers and horses and added trebuchets outside the camp. Jars of oil were thrown by trebuchets and fell into the fire...... What does it mean to add fuel to the fire? That's pretty much what it looks like. The oil fell to the ground and shattered. The flames flowed down the camp, accelerating the spread of the fire. Some of the fire pots fell on the tents and did not shatter. However, as the temperature increased, the fire spread, and the oil tank was heated, resulting in an explosion. Every explosion is accompanied by pieces of pottery flying down, taking the lives of many people.

Li Qi was directing a breakthrough when he suddenly saw a canister of oil falling from the sky and smashing it on his head.

The oil tank suddenly shattered, and the fire oil poured Li Qi on his body.

An oil tank exploded on the side, and a piece of pottery wrapped in flames flew out, falling on Li Qi's body. In an instant, the fire oil on Li Qi's body burned...... Even men and horses, surrounded by flames. Li Jue screamed, and his sword fell to the ground, jumping off his horse and rolling on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames. It's just that this fire oil is all over the place, not only did he not extinguish the flames, but instead made the flames on his body even hotter. The whole person, like a fire man, struggled and rolled in the sea of fire...... Not only Li Qi, but also countless Jingzhou soldiers were swallowed by this raging flame. The entire camp has become a raging sea of fire!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the moment when Cao's camp was burning, Liu Hu also found out.

He led 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers to prepare to be the yellow bird that sneaked up. Unexpectedly, Cao Jun's camp suddenly caught fire, so that he didn't have time to react at all.

Liu Hu hurriedly urged the men and horses to attack Cao Ying.

However, before they could get close to Cao Ying, they heard a rumbling war drum.

Cao Peng led the soldiers and horses, killed halfway, and blocked Liu Hu's way. Liu Hu's mind was suddenly in turmoil, and he knew that he had fallen for Cao Peng's trick, so he turned his horse and left. In this dark night, he didn't know how many people Cao Jun had, let alone what the situation was on Li Qi's side.

But judging from the red fire that reflected the night, Li Qi was probably more than lucky.

He didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of his troops and wanted to retreat to the camp.

But before he could push back to the station, he saw that in the Jingzhou military camp, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the shouts of killing were everywhere. It turned out that just after Liu Hu led the troops to leave, Pang De led his troops to quietly arrive outside the Jingzhou military camp. When the Cao army camp was on fire, Pang De led his troops into the Jingzhou army camp.

In the Jingzhou camp, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses left.

Han Xuan, as the chief general of the Jingzhou battalion, stayed in the camp.

It's just that whether it was Li Qi, Liu Hu, or Han Xuan, they didn't expect that they went to steal Cao Peng's camp, and Cao Peng actually led people to their camp. Han Xuan hurriedly responded to the battle, but was slashed off his horse by the oncoming Pang De. Although Pang De's injuries have not fully recovered, with his force, Han Xuan is not something that Han Xuan can deal with. The most important thing is that what Han Xuan is holding in his hand is Pound's tiger roaring knife. At the beginning, Pang De was defeated by Huang Zhong in Tangzi Township, and the tiger roared and fell into the hands of Huang Zhong.

But with Huang Zhong being detained, the tiger roaring knife was obtained by Han Xuan.

Pound has been haunted by the loss of the tiger's roaring knife. Seeing that Han Xuan was holding the Tiger Roar Knife, he didn't care who Han Xuan was, he rushed over and killed Han Xuan and took the Tiger Roar Knife back. The so-called lost and regained is also true. Pang De withdrew the tiger roaring knife, and immediately lifted his spirits, led his troops, and rampage in the Jingzhou camp, only killing Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and people turned over on their backs. Han Xuan is dead, and Li Qi and Liu Hu are not there...... The Jingzhou army was unable to organize effective resistance at all, and in an instant it collapsed and fled in all directions......

When Liu Hu heard this, he was also shocked.

Later, there were pursuers following closely behind, and the Jingzhou military camp ......

Liu Hu immediately retreated to Tangzi Township with his soldiers and horses, wanting to regroup in Tangzi Township.

However, how could Cao Peng and Pang De allow him to escape? Cao Peng got Li Yan's advice, spent a lot of thought, and even sent Yan Shi to sneak into the Jingzhou military camp at the risk of death, in order to succeed in today's battle. Liu Hu was defeated and retreated, and Cao Peng chased after him. After meeting with Pang De, the two chased Liu Hu all the way to Tangzi Township. Although Liu Hu said that he had a camp in Tangzi Township, he did not leave too many soldiers and horses to guard it.

After all, in Liu Hu's opinion, Cao Jun is simply not capable of sneak attack, so where would he care?

If Huang Zhong is okay here, he may be able to make an effective resistance. But the problem is that Huang Zhong was detained by Liu Hu in the Jingzhou camp, and now his life and death are unknown. After Liu Hu arrived in Tangzi Township, before he could catch his breath, Cao Peng and Pang De's pursuers had already arrived.

In a hurry, Liu Hu had no intention of fighting, so he had to flee again.

Cao Peng and Pang De took advantage of the situation to recapture Tangzixiang and stopped continuing the pursuit......

At this time, the sky is bright!
