Chapter 50: The Attack on the Camp
But all this is still a thing of the past after all, and it is superfluous to regret it, until the army retreats safely to Guanzhong, this war is afraid to be suspended for a while, after all, the north is full of devastation, and the resumption of production is the foundation of a strong army, and only with a strong economy, can we have a stronger military force to face the two major forces in the south.
Thinking of this, Cao ** seems to be a lot more relieved, after decades of fighting, the generals on his side do not know how many have died, among which there are many talented generals who are optimistic about him, Cao ** paused for a moment, his vision gradually dimmed, he was still much older, and immediately fell asleep.
The moonlight is like silver light, sprinkled on both sides of the Baoshui, the west bank where Cao Jun walked is an extremely wide area, but the northwest and north sides are against the mountains, and the east side is Baoshui, but it is also a very decent garrison place.
Huo Yi led thousands of cavalry to finally arrive at the area where the Cao army was stationed in the second half of the night, and the moonlight was slanting westward, making the Cao army's Dazhai with a bright bonfire very eye-catching. It seems to know that the soldiers and horses are behind the palace, and although the Chinese army is tightly arranged, the garrison is sparsely tight. No one could have imagined that there would be a group of light horsemen and horses that bypassed Cao Zhang's department behind the palace and went straight to the military tent in Cao's army.
You must know that the Cao army has gathered more than 50,000 elite soldiers in the Guanzhong Army, and most of the Guanzhong soldiers are in the front of the retreat, serving as a baggage force and the rear of the palace when they enter Hanzhong, when they retreat, the front becomes the rear, and the Guanzhong soldiers in the front have been camped dozens of miles away from the Chinese army.
The Chinese army is all elite, and Prime Minister Cao ** is in this Chinese army, who would have thought that the Shu army would have a large cavalry here?
Ye Bing's scout camp was as sharp as ever, and the outside of the Cao Army's Zhongjun Dazhai was already silent at the moment, and the corpses of countless Cao Army scouts and rangers were lying quietly in the autumn grass pile on the Hanzhong Plain. After midnight, when human vigilance is at its lowest, almost all of Cao's army fell asleep, only the few sentries upstairs and the rangers in the night patrol battalion were still doing their duty, but they were also struggling to carry out their tasks in a deep sleep.
Huo Yi's men and horses waited quietly on the northwest side of Cao Jun's Dazhai, and all the soldiers were accustomed to silent preparations, taking advantage of the little time before the battle, they would raise their horses, move their muscles and bones, wipe their sabers, and place their crossbow arrows in the most convenient position for themselves.
Huo Yi's cavalry never required super high riding skills, but they often had extremely sharp archery skills, and could often hit the enemy on horseback from a hundred paces. It is because everyone is equipped with a crossbow machine and two pots of feather arrows. These thousands of cavalry were Huo Yi's blood money, and almost all the crossbow machines in Jingnan's warehouse were moved by him to the cavalry, in order to create a cavalry team that was completely different from the northland cavalry. They don't need fancy riding, they just need the highest efficiency to harvest human lives.
Huo Yi stood on the top of a mountain, waiting for Ye Zhi to send the signal to attack. It's funny to say that he is not nervous, Huo Yi is extremely excited, although his madness makes him extremely enthusiastic, but he is not so enthusiastic that he is blind, step by step calculation, step by step strategy, all agreed between himself and his subordinates. What is needed is to work together to be able to starve as much as possible to give Cao Jun a lot of damage.
In the distance, at the gate on the west side of Cao Jun's big village, a firelight flashed several times, and a strange sneer climbed the corner of Huo Yi's mouth. Turning his head and looking at Guan Xing behind him: "Order!" Offensive! ”
Huo Yi came out first, this group of cavalry was like a monster in the dark night, silent, but full of might. The day was about to dawn, and the last dimness before dawn became the best protective color for this cavalry. Stepping on the dew between the blades of grass, it was like a prehistoric giant beast crashing into the Cao Jun Village.
Huo Yi's men and horses came very quickly, and the guards of the West Gate were basically cleared by Ye Jiong's scout camp, so before Cao Jun woke up, Huo Yi's men and horses rushed into Dazhai.
Torches set flammable tents on fire, and crossbow arrows pierced the throats of cruising sentinels. The hastily assembled interception team had their lives terminated before they even had their weapons in their hands.
Huo Yi's cavalry knew that these thousands of men and horses could only raid quickly, and the most taboo thing to defeat the crowd was to divide the troops, and this group of cavalry ran through the western camp like a dragon. Huo Yi's goal is very clear, he can clearly see the huge military tent under the arch of the tens of thousands of troops, he wants to take advantage of the fact that everyone has not reacted, rush into the big tent, and see what Cao Mengde looks like. If God bless himself, it would be better to capture and kill his people!
Huo Yi's gun seems to be the spear of death, harvesting the lives of the people around him, and the gun seems to have reached its peak in Huo Yi's hands, and he often fails to meet an enemy. Kankan runs through the western camp, but there are nearly 100 dead souls under Huo Yi's gun.
Just like the ancient demon god led the demon soldiers to invade, Cao Jun responded in horror, and the scattered organization could not stop the torrent of cavalry. Huo Yi led a group of people to rush left and right, and saw that the big tent of the Chinese army was already in front of him.
Cao ** was awakened by a nightmare, and he remembered the battle of Chibi again, and remembered the embarrassment and danger when he was defeated. The cold sweat of the head kept flowing.
A guard was charged into the account before he could report it, although Cao ** was old, his reaction was extremely sensitive, he took out the sword on the couch and chopped the head of the guard with a sword. This guard never thought that the prime minister would actually stab him, and he was stunned, only to feel a heat in his throat, and immediately fell to his knees. Covering his throat with his hands ruthlessly, there was a sound of "ho-ho" between his mouth, he looked at Cao **, and said very respectfully: "The enemy attacked ......" but he didn't have time to say anything, and he was already lying on the ground.
The cold sweat on Cao **'s forehead was still there, and at this moment he knew that he had killed his cronies by mistake, and he didn't have time to regret it, but he was already shocked by the enemy attack of this guard. Before he could react, a few more guards had already entered the tent, and the leader said: "The prime minister will change his clothes quickly, and we will send the prime minister away from this dangerous place!" ”
Cao ** was killed in the formation of ten thousand troops, and this kind of scene couldn't scare him, and said coldly: "What's the matter!" ”
"Shu general Huo Yi led a team of brave cavalry to attack the camp, which is already outside the Chinese army, and will soon break through the protection of the Chinese army here! Prime Minister quickly avoid its edge! The general said loudly.
"Humph! I have General Huwei, why not be afraid of Huo Yi thieves! Cao ** said loudly. Let's put on armor with me and go to see Xu Zhongkang capture this fang! Cao ** picked up the saber on his side, waited by the guards, put on his armor, went out of the tent, got on his horse, and went straight to the outside of the Chinese army, to see Huo Yiqi.
Huo Yi was leading a group of cavalry to fight, but he saw a big man in Tibet, leading a group of elite cavalry, coming straight to him, and the guy shouted: "Huo Yi thief is bold!" Let's fight with me Xu Chu for 300 rounds! ”
"Tiger Idiot!" Huo Yi was shocked. (To be continued.) )
