(I admit I was wrong, I was late today)

The marquis listened to Cao Ren's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "General, the enemy army launched a fierce attack on our army with stones that I didn't know how to throw, which destroyed the well that we had worked so hard to make, and those stones also flew up the earth mountain, and the soldiers on the earth mountain were stoned to death, and no one dared to climb it again. One end of the stone could be placed, and they pulled down the end of the stone that was sold to them, and then as soon as they let go, they saw the stone slam down on us, and then our well was destroyed.

"What?" Cao Ren listened to the description of his own soldiers, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yan, Zhang Liao and others, his face was unusually ugly, and he said word by word: "Thunderbolt, I didn't expect that there would be such a capable person in Liu Qi's army, who could make a thunderbolt, which is really hateful." ”

Zhao Yan and Zhang Liao and others were also silent, because they had also heard of such things as thunderbolts, although for those soldiers who could dodge, the casualties caused were very limited, but its destructive power was huge, especially good at destroying siege equipment such as wells, and also had objective destructive power for the city wall, and more importantly, such things could make soldiers panic and reduce the morale of the enemy.

It's just that this kind of large-scale equipment is not something that ordinary people can make, unless it is some masters who are proficient in instrument manufacturing, so it is rare on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that on the battlefield today, they encountered such a large-scale equipment, and I don't know if it was their luck or misfortune.

"What are we going to do now?" The sudden bad news made Cao Ren a little discouraged, his wishful thinking was now in vain, and it seemed that he had to think of other ways to attack the city.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be silent for a while, the next way was naturally to dig tunnels and burn the gatehouse, but Yu Ban is a general with very rich combat experience, such a character can be said to be very familiar with these methods, and he also knows how to deal with them, so it is too difficult to attack the city by surprise.

"General, why don't we retreat. It is better to retreat to Hefei than to wait here, in case the enemy throws us another big stone, our morale will drop again. Zhao Yan sighed and said slowly.

Zhang Liao also nodded in agreement, and arched his hand and said: "General, let's retreat, now the army is tired, if there is any delay, in case there are any more variables, we will not be able to handle it." ”

"Our army is coming, and we are so wolf bèi withdrawing? This is really a bit unwilling. Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh and said with a gloomy face.

"But the enemy can't retreat, and we can't force them out of the city, and we don't have an advantage in attacking them, and we don't have any advantage in spending here, and we don't retreat first, so as to see what happens, anyway, the casualties of the enemy army this time are not small, and our expedition this time can't be regarded as without results." Zhang Liao clenched his fists again and gently persuaded him.

"Let Ben think again." Cao Ren's heart was still unwilling, but he knew that it would not work if he didn't retreat this time, and he had already made up his mind to withdraw his troops, so he let out a long sigh and said softly: "Order the army, besiege the city as usual today, quietly pack up at night, and then withdraw at the fourth watch tomorrow." ”

Although the issuance of this order was very simple, it was very difficult for Cao Ren, because he had forcibly ordered the army to go out before, and the army of 30,000 came in a mighty way, aiming to capture Lu'an City and defeat his old subordinates Yu Ban, but he didn't expect that this time it would be one of the few retreats in his conquest career.

Although the troops suffered almost no losses, it is undeniable that their battle plan did fail.

After issuing the order, Cao Ren waved his hand and ordered everyone to disband, standing quietly in the tent alone, silent for a long time, and then sighed helplessly: "I really didn't expect that even this guy Yu Ban could thwart my attack, so wouldn't Liu Qi be more capable?" I don't know how terrible this kid is to be. ”

That night, there was chaos in the barracks, all the soldiers were packing up and preparing to return to Hefei, it can be said that today's morale is compared to the first two days, it is simply a world of difference, the first few days everyone is full of confidence, and feel that Yu Ban can be defeated in less than a month and occupy Lu'an, but today everyone's morale is generally low, because everyone knows that this time they followed the cavalry general Cao Ren to fight, but they have never been so aggrieved, but today since the main general ordered to retreat, That means that this time the strategy of Lu'an failed.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the tent shouting: "The fire is on." ”

All of a sudden, the army was shocked, and many soldiers immediately rushed out to put out the fire.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard an earth-shattering shout of killing from outside the camp gate.

"It's not good, the enemy is robbing the village!" Almost all the soldiers reacted immediately, they immediately took their weapons and rushed out of the barracks to prepare for battle.

However, because no one expected that the enemy army would sneak attack at this time, and because everyone was packing up and getting back to the right point, although they reacted in time, they were now in a hurry to respond to the battle, and they were unable to organize effective resistance at all.

At this time, I could only hear someone shouting in the chaotic army: "Donglai Tai Shici is here, Cao Ren rat, Hugh wants to hide, can you dare to fight me?" ”

After Tai Shici, another general shouted: "Runan Lu Meng is here, Cao Ren rat generation, dare to fight with me?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Wu also shouted, so the three generals led the army to rush left and right in the camp, as if entering a no-man's land, the army under Cao Ren was all easy, and he had no choice but to take the road.

At this time, Cao Ren was even more shocked, and shouted in disbelief: "Didn't the general have people specifically investigate the movements of the Lu'an City Gate, why did no one report to me for such a major event as the forbidden army going out of the city?" What do those spies do for food? ”

But Zhang Liao sighed slowly: "This can't be blamed on those spies, because the enemy army didn't come out of the city gate at all, but touched the outside of our camp through the guò tunnel, hehe, I really didn't expect Yu Ban, who has always been not good at surprise soldiers, to come up with such a trick this time, digging tunnels to rob the camp in the city, such a battle case has never been heard of." ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Ban, a traitor, can't come up with such a scheme, but this doesn't mean that no one in his camp can come up with it, hmph, since someone in his camp can make a thunderbolt, it's not surprising that he can come up with such a scheme, but I hate that this person is so calculating, he can judge that our army will inevitably retreat, and even the time is so accurate, he really deserves to be a master, and I don't know who can come up with this poisonous plan?" ”

In fact, Cao Ren couldn't have imagined that although the person who came up with this clever plan was indeed a top wise man, it would take twenty years for this top wise man to truly become famous in the world, and now he is only a teenager.

This young man was brought by Lu Su when he went to Qu'a to pick up his mother, he was the grandson of Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, with a single name, the word Boyan, that is, the key person who later defeated Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling, making the Shu Kingdom from prosperity to decline.

In fact, even Lu Su didn't expect that after the little guy who followed his friend Lu Ji to Liu Ye and called Lu Ji his father arrived in Lujiang, he didn't make a sound, and he was a blockbuster.

When Liu Ye made a thunderbolt and achieved heavy results, the young Lu Xun immediately asserted that this time Cao Ren worked in vain, and he would inevitably withdraw his troops, so he further suggested to Yu Ban that he immediately dug a tunnel leading to Cao Ren's camp from the city, and ordered a fierce general to attack the opponent's camp along the tunnel, and he would definitely be able to achieve a big victory.

When Liu Ye, Yu Ban and the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they all admired the great wisdom of this plan, so even if they were as cautious as Yu Ban, they boldly decided to do what Lu Xun said, so he immediately ordered Tai Shici, Lu Meng and Chen Wu to carry out the task of robbing the camp.

At the same time, Lu Su also asked for war, asking Yu Ban to give him a brigade of partial divisions, taking advantage of the Taishi Ci robbery camp, leading the army to sneak attack Jun Yu on the east side of Hefei, completely isolate Liyang, Fuling, Quanjiao County, and then occupy these three counties, so that one can capture Cao Cao's Jiujiang Taishou Yanxiang, so that he can lead Jiujiang County in the name of Jiujiang Taishou, and the second advantage is that from then on, Cao Cao can be cut off from Sun Quan's contact with Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan's Shicheng, Moling, Shuhu, Jiangcheng and other places can face the threat of the Jingzhou army at any time. Let the Jingzhou army invade the hinterland of Danyang County at any time.

This can be said to be a great help to pacify Sun Quan.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Ban agreed to this plan and ordered Lu Su to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Jun Xuan, and then defend Jun Xuan to the death.

At the same time, Yu Ban also accepted Liu Ye's construction and ordered Liu Ye to send troops at the same time, pretending to be Cao Ren's army and rushing to Hefei City overnight to earn Hefei City.

In order to ensure Liu Ye's success, Yu Ban was ruthless this time, handing over all the remaining 15,000 men and horses in the city to Liu Ye, and only a few hundred of Lu Lin's security troops were left in his Lu'an City.

This time, in order to win a comprehensive victory in the war, Yu Ban can be said to be ruined, this Lu'an City with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can now be said to be useless, as long as there is a team of thousands of people, you can easily capture this important town, but now Yu Ban is completely indifferent, as Lu Xun said to him, blindly using regular soldiers, not knowing how to use risks, in the face of a famous general like Cao Ren, it is impossible to achieve victory.
