As the night deepened, two hours passed slowly, and the noisy shouts and hooves of horses in the entire Gaotang did not weaken in the slightest. It sounds like there is still a big war, but if someone goes up to the street to see it, but the soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield are shouting and screaming, where is the fighting?

Koji Yi Dama Golden Knife, sitting on the main seat, Liu Miao sitting on his left head, in and out of the correction to report to Koyi Yi.

"Report, General! Twenty-eight people were killed and ninety-eight wounded in the light infantry regiment! Capture 23,000 enemy troops! ”

"Report, there are no casualties in the heavy infantry corps! Capture 21,000 enemy soldiers! ”

"Report, there are no casualties among the Mo knife hands! No captives! ”

"Report, there are no casualties among the siege troops! No captives! ”

"Report, the Qingzhou Army suffered more than 13,000 casualties and more than 25,000 prisoners!"

Listening to these battle reports, Lu Yi's face remained unchanged, but Liu Miao and his generals all changed color!

This time, the number of Youzhou troops on the battlefield, plus the siege troops who had never participated in the battle, was only 28,000 people, but 44,000 enemy troops were captured, 98 were wounded, and 28 were killed!

And the Qingzhou army, with 120,000 people, only captured more than 25,000 people, and more than 10,000 people were killed in battle!

What a gap!

A thousandfold!

Tai Shici fidgeted while listening, and felt a little embarrassed. After all, although most of these 120,000 horses had no experience in warfare, some of them were also 'elites' trained by him!

"What about Chen Deng and Cao Bao?!"

Koji Yi said solemnly.

"Never caught!"

"I guess I escaped!" Liu Xuan sighed on the side: "Chen Deng is too cunning, I'm afraid he is ready to abandon the army and escape!" ”

Hearing this, Koji Yi looked at him and said in a deep voice: "He can't escape!" ”

"Come here, send an order to Zhang Niujiao, Yu Poison and Chen Sheng, pay attention to the arrest of Chen Deng and Cao Bao, in addition, the three-way military horses do not need to enter the city, hide them on the spot, just wait for the signal of the general!"

As soon as this remark came out, the group was stunned, and Liu Miao said: "It's difficult"

"That's right, it's Cao Jun!"

Lu Yi looked at him and said, "Cao Jun hid to the side and wanted to be a yellow bird, so General Ben will give him a chance!" ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

"No wonder General Koji made the army shout non-stop, but it was of great use!"

"Then Cao Jun probably thought that the city was still scorching, and he would definitely be fooled!"

"General Liyi's soldiers are like gods, and he really deserves to be the pillar of Youzhou!"

The compliments continued, and Koji Yi's brows furrowed, obviously not adapting. In the Youzhou army, it has always been realistic and realistic, and it is rare to have such an obvious slap on the back, and Lu Yi listened to these disgusting exclamations, and suddenly wanted to vomit

Pan Feng led the army out of the barracks and walked thirty miles to the west, then turned around and slowly marched south.

While sending scouts to search for the enemy, he kept his mind calm and took care to hide his tracks.

Until the time of You, the sky was almost completely dark, and Pan Feng still did not find any trace of Cao Jun.

"Sure enough, it's a bit famous." Pan Feng looked up at the sky and sighed secretly: "You must find Cao Jun's whereabouts as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if the general's big thing is ruined!" ”

At this moment, Pan Feng felt a feeling, and his expression was stunned, and a man in black appeared in front of him.

"Dark No. 1199, General Yu, Cao Jun is hiding in the dense forest twelve miles southeast at the moment!"

With that, the man in black turned around and disappeared.

Pan Feng's face was completely stretched, and a little worry completely dissipated.

With the help of the dark department, even an ant can't escape the eyes and ears!

"Twelve miles? It's close! Pan Feng muttered to himself.

"Order the army to camp on the spot and do everything possible to hide in case the enemy finds its tracks!"

"Order the scout team, give General Ben a firm eye on the Cao army, and report back immediately if there is any movement!"

"Order the scouts, get in touch with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters immediately, every half an hour, and keep it at any time."

One order after another was given quickly, and the 10,000-strong army soon fell silent behind the hillside, without a trace to be seen

Thirty miles south of Gaotang City, in the dense forest.

Xiahou Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and Chen Gong sat around the simple tent and didn't say a word.

They, waiting, waiting for an opportunity, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.

The sky gradually darkened, Xiahou Chun couldn't sit still, went out of the tent a few times, and finally returned to the tent, walking back and forth.

"The Youzhou army will not keep that so-called promise, and most of them will attack the city overnight tonight. It's just that why I didn't take the opportunity to capture Gaotang at that time still makes me a little puzzled. ”

Not only Xiahou Chun, but also Chen Gong was very puzzled.

According to the most correct way of thinking, when the Youzhou army defeated Tai Shici in a battle, it should attack the city. Not to mention that after the battle formation, the morale in Gaotang City has dropped greatly, that is, the morale has not been reduced, with the current situation of the Gaotang City Wall, Chen Gong also has reason to believe that it will not be able to stop the Youzhou Army at all.

But why did Koji retreat?

"I also have a hunch that the city will be attacked tonight. I don't think there may be any other calculations in Na Koyi, but we haven't found out."

Xiahou Yuan also frowned.

Chen Gong was tepid, and his face was always very indifferent: "Why bother so much? We just have to wait for the opportunity. ”

The two of them were stunned and nodded at the same time.

Indeed, it is not necessary to do much care.

Anyway, they retreat quickly, hide well, and are not afraid that anyone will know the traces. As the so-called enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, as long as you show the move, are you still afraid that there will be any mistakes?

Time flies, and it's the end of the day.

Suddenly, a faint shout of killing came from the north, and the three of them were startled at the same time and stood up.

"It's a fight!"

Xiahou Chun perked up and said to Chen Gong: "It's started, when will you act?" ”

Chen Gong walked out of the tent door, looked at the sky that was getting brighter and brighter thirty miles away, and said in a deep voice: "Wait another quarter of an hour." ”

A moment later.

The shouts of killing from the north grew louder and louder, and it sounded as if the battle had entered a scorching heat!

"Two generals, gather the army and prepare to go!"

Chen Gong said indifferently.

The 40,000 Cao army under the command of Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan quickly assembled, and a quarter of an hour later, taking advantage of the night, the Cao army slowly moved north, gradually approaching Gaotang.

At the same time, Pan Feng also received a scout report.

"Hey, the timing was just right!"

After laughing, Pan Feng immediately gathered a large army, and quietly bit Cao Jun's tail after a dozen miles.

Thirty miles, if you march at the fastest speed, in less than half an hour, you can reach it. And it took Cao Jun more than an hour straight to reach five miles outside Gaotang City.

Faintly, Chen Gong looked at the huge fire rising in the middle of the south gate, listening to the seemingly ubiquitous shouts of killing, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the sound of shouting and fighting sounded in the south gate, and in a moment, the gate creaked and creaked open, and a embarrassed Qingzhou army rushed out of the city!

"It's the Qingzhou rout!"

Xiahou Chun's eyes were scorching, and he said to Chen Gong: "Kill it now!?" ”

The south gate is wide open, and it is the best time to kill in.

"No!" Chen Gong said: "What if you kill it?" Do you think you can wipe out the Youzhou army in the city? ”

Xiahou Chun was stunned and said, "It's not impossible, right?" There were 200,000 men in the city, plus our 40,000 horses and horses, and there were 240,000 people. Now it's late at night, the light is dim, I can't see clearly, just the so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master, the black light is blind, can the Youzhou army still afford the waves? Just fishing in troubled waters! ”

In ancient times, it was generally taboo for armies to fight at night.

For some dietary or nutritional reasons, most people have night blindness. It's okay to be in a hurry, but if you fight at night, it's all about touching and chopping, which is completely disorienting! Even cutting one's own people is nothing new.

That's why Xiahou Chun said this.

However, for the Youzhou Army, this matter has been completely overcome.

Why? Because Youzhou has been rich for ten years, people eat and drink well, and their nutrition can naturally keep up. Especially in the army, Liu Yuan not only paid special attention to food and nutrition, but also specially underwent training similar to night combat, so there was no such taboo at all.

Chen Gong shook his head slowly: "If you want to enter the city, now you have lost the best opportunity." ”

The two of them were stunned, and looked at the rout of Qingzhou, which was galloping quickly, and suddenly they were stunned.

The best time to join the war group is when the two sides are fighting anxiously, and now there are Qingzhou troops scattered out of the city, that is to say, the overall situation in the city has been controlled by the Youzhou army, and now it is just a few more dead people.

"And we're here to reap the benefits, not to lose the numbers." Chen Gong said again: "The Youzhou army is fierce, there is no need for us to fight with the Youzhou cavalry on the terrain of Gaotang, it is better to take the opportunity to reap some benefits, quickly retreat south, meet with General Li Dian as soon as possible, and occupy an important pass city to resist the Youzhou army!" ”

Chen Gong's method is very sound and realistic.

Indeed, the terrain of Gaotang is flat, and the wise man does not do anything with his own shortcomings and the strengths of attacking others. It's better to get enough benefits, go south and join forces, and occupy half of Qingzhou!

"Another important reason is that our plan to make the yellow finch is too obvious, and others can see it at a glance. Maybe it's not impossible for that Koji to be in the city waiting for me to take the bait. ”

"So, sir, why?"

The two Xiahou brothers were a little confused. In this case, why not retreat south early, and come to this troubled water?

"Hehe," Chen Gong shook his head lightly and said, "Our army is now intimidated by the threat of the Youzhou army, and the morale of the army is lost. If you don't get back on the field, what qualifications do you have to face the Youzhou Army and fight it head-on? ”

When the two heard this, they were impressed.

Indeed, today it is said that he was cowardly before fighting, and fled in a hurry, although there was no loss, but the morale was lost!

All the soldiers had a fear of the Youzhou army.

Iron Ship!

Iron Monster!

These things broke the original faith in the hearts of the warriors and made them lose their souls.

If he doesn't get back what he lost, no matter how powerful his army is in the future, it will be finished when he encounters the Youzhou army, and he won't be able to struggle.

"Sir's meaning, no matter how big or small, you must win against the Youzhou army and save the confidence of the soldiers!"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "With the opening of the gate, the rout will inevitably increase gradually, and then there will be Youzhou squads chasing and killing, when the time comes, we will seize the opportunity to rush forward, and if we can eliminate a few teams, we will eliminate a few teams, one will save morale and confidence, and the other will end the myth of the undefeated Youzhou army, and in turn hit their morale, it is killing two birds with one stone!" ”
