Chapter 153: Breaking the camp tonight

Under the unstoppable impact of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Xu Chu Iron Cavalry Battalion, Wei Xu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was soon killed, and Zhou Cang and Jutu led the wolf cavalry battalion to bypass the obstruction of Wei Xu's army from both wings, and took advantage of the momentum to storm the Bingzhou camp, and in the deafening shout, thousands of Wuhuan light horsemen of the wolf cavalry battalion swarmed and rushed towards the gate that was slowly closing.

"Instigation~~"

A dense rain of arrows like locusts shot out from the Bingzhou camp, and wave after wave of Wuhuan cavalry that flocked to the Bingzhou camp like a tide fell off their horses, and in less than a moment, hundreds of horsemen had already been killed and wounded.

In the distance, the corners of Ma Yue's mouth twitched violently, and he said in a deep voice: "Order, the wolf cavalry camp retreats and suspends the attack." ”

The herald galloped away, and quickly conveyed Ma Yue's order, and thousands of Wuhuan light horsemen roared and roared back, and in an instant they withdrew from the front of the Bingzhou camp, and on the desolate battlefield, only the ground was full of messes, and there were lying corpses everywhere, broken guns, and broken flags.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and a flock of vultures, tempted by the smell of blood, flapped their wings from afar, ready to enjoy a feast from heaven.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, the state army is worthy of being an elite division, the camp is very strong, if our army forcibly launches an attack, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, why don't we wait until after dark to find a way?" ”

"Hmm."

Ma Yue nodded when he heard this.

Ma Yue has always been surprisingly victorious with his troops, and what he is best at is to avoid the real and attack the false, seek victory in danger, and suddenly kill when the enemy is caught off guard, and then make a meritorious contribution in a battle, as he is now in a dignified decisive battle with the enemy, and attack the enemy's strong defense of Dazhai, Ma Yue does not have much way.

Moreover, the trapping camp that is best at attacking fortifications is far away in Meiji, and the iron cavalry battalion and wolf cavalry battalion under Ma Yue are the best at breaking the enemy in the field, but they are not good at attacking fortifications.

"Wen He has a good strategy for the enemy?"

"My lord, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for our army." Jia Xu pointed to the bison crossing under the protection of the Bingzhou Palace, and said in a condensed voice, "The Bingzhou army camped along the ferry, and our army could not break through the large camp and could not prevent the enemy's follow-up infantry from crossing the river from the east bank of the river to the west, once the 10,000 infantry of the Bingzhou army and all the grain and grass baggage crossed the river, it would be even more difficult to defeat the Bingzhou army, and then our army would fall into an extremely passive situation." ”

"Hmm."

Ma Yue naturally understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words, if the army could not defeat Lu Bu's Bingzhou army at Bisondu, it would fall into a dilemma at that time!

"The camp must be breached tonight." Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "Even if you can't defeat the Bingzhou infantry on the east bank of the river, you have to eat the thousands of Bingzhou cavalry infantry on the west bank of the river, as long as you eat the cavalry, the remaining 10,000 Bingzhou infantry will no longer have to worry about it, and when they arrive at Meiji, I'm afraid that the daylily will already be cold." ”

"Uh, daylily?" Jia Xu looked confused, looked back inadvertently, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a dense forest not far away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a cold smile, and said, "Lord, if you have a plan, you may be able to break the enemy." ”

……

And the state army camp, Lu Bu's big tent.

Lu Bu was like a beast with a wounded head, holding his head and howling: "Eyes, my eyes, I can't see anything~~"

The soldier hurriedly persuaded: "The general doesn't have to worry, just sprinkled a little bit of chalk, although there is a slight burn, it is not a big deal, and he can recover from being in bed for two days at most." ”

"Whew~~"

Hearing that Lu Bu was fine, Hou Cheng and Cao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Report~~" At this time, a small colonel crossed the tent and knelt on the ground to report, "General, General Wei Xu has ...... after leading the army to break off in order to cover the retreat of the army."

The surname Cao and Wei Xu have always been friendly, and when they heard this, they hurriedly said, "How is General Wei Xu?" ”

The little colonel lowered his head and said gloomily: "Wei Xu has been killed, and the thousand iron cavalry under his command has also been wiped out. ”

"What!" The surname Cao gasped, his eyes showed a look of shock, "In just such a moment, the thousand iron cavalry of the state has been wiped out?" ”

"Damn!" Lu Buhuo turned over and sat up, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Ma Yue, horse butcher, horseman!" General Ben swears to take the dog's head, wow~~"

Cao surnamed said: "General, the last general thinks that Ma Yuejun will definitely attack the camp tonight, so he can take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Lu Bu said: "Well, the surname Cao listens to the order. ”

Huo Ran, surnamed Cao, took a step forward, hugged his fists and replied: "The end will be." ”

Lu Bu said: "Until the general's eyes are restored, the whole army will be under your temporary control." ”

The surname Cao looked at him and said loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Hou Cheng on the side pursed his lips, his eyes showing hesitation.

……

Meiji Castle Head.

Under the faint burning firelight, Guo Tu's figure looked thinner and thinner, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, under the light of the fire, it was like two ghosts burning in Guo Tu's eyes, in order to supervise the repair of Meiji City and the transfer of women and children in the city, Guo Tu had not closed his eyes for several days.

"Mr. Guo Tu!"

When Guo Tu was drowsy, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from behind him, Guo Tu Huoran turned around, and saw Liao Hua hurriedly ascending the city tower with more than a dozen personal guards.

"Mr. Guo Tu, except for the southeast corner tower, the city walls of all sections have been raised to four zhang!"

"Hmm." Guo Tu nodded and said tiredly, "It's hard work." ”

Liao Hua said: "Serve the lord and turn it into an internal matter." ”

"Report~~" Liao Hua's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel rushed up to the city tower, knelt down in front of Guo Tu, and said quickly, "Sir, Tan Ma is urgent." ”

Guo Tu said: "Speak." ”

The little colonel said: "Tanma reported that the Jizhou army had crossed the river two days ago, and now it is less than fifty miles away from Meiji!" ”

Guo Tu's eyebrows tightened for a moment, and he asked in a low voice, "What about Linrong's Liangzhou army?" ”

"Linrong's Liangzhou army rushed east for five hundred miles in seven days, and now it is less than eighty miles away from Meiji."

"Hiss~~" Liao Hua gasped when he heard this, and said awe-inspiringly, "That is to say, before dark tomorrow at the latest, the Liangzhou Army and the Jizhou Army will be able to join forces under Meiji City!" ”

Guo Tu suddenly put his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth on the city tower, and the speed was extremely fast, the eyes of Liao Hua, Xiao Xiao Xiao and a group of personal soldiers moved with the movement of Guo Tu's figure, and they didn't dare to interrupt Guo Tu's thoughts for a while, only the occasional cracking sound of torches burning, and on the busy construction site, from time to time there were miserable wails from beaten slaves.

Liao Hua swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what now?" ”

Although Ma Yueming ordered Liao Hua to be the main general who stayed in Meiji, Gao Shun and Guo Tu assisted him, even Liao Hua himself knew that he was not this material, and Guo Tu had to make up his mind in the end for almost everything.

Guo Tuhuo stopped and asked in a condensed voice: "General Liao Hua, is there any news from the lord's army?" ”

Liao Hua shook his head in annoyance and replied, "The last general has already sent more than a dozen probe horses into the Sea of Death to find the whereabouts of the lord's army, and there has been no news yet. ”

"Smack."

Guo Tu struck hard, the gloom on his face became a little thicker, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Where is General Gao Shun now?" ”

Liao Hua said: "Gao Shun is arranging for the transfer of women and children. ”

"Hmm~~" Guo Tu nodded and asked, "How many people have been transferred?" ”

"There are about 50,000 or 60,000 women and children combined."

"Well, that's all it can be." Guo Tu let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "This is the end of the matter of transferring women and children, let General Gao Shun come to the enemy building immediately to discuss matters, quickly." ”

"Yes."

One of the soldiers said yes and galloped away.

About a meal, Gao Shun, who was sweating profusely, hurried to the enemy building, and asked before entering the door: "The last general is arranging for the transfer of women and children, why did Mr. call each other?" ”

Guo Tu Haoran sighed: "General Gao Shun, there is no time. ”

"Running out of time?" Gao Shun was stunned and said, "But the last general only had time to transfer more than 50,000 people, and more than 80,000 people didn't have time to transfer." ”

Guo Tu said: "Let me ask you, are the more than 50,000 people who have been transferred out all young women and children? ”

Gao Shun said: "Yes, the last general followed Mr.'s instructions, and the first to transfer were children and young women under the age of thirty, and now the children and young women have almost been transferred, and most of the remaining more than 80,000 people are women over thirty years old, and there are many old people." ”

"That's pretty much it." Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and said coldly, "The Liangzhou army and the Jizhou army will be killed soon, and it is too late to transfer now, even if they are reluctantly sent out of the city, I am afraid that they will not escape the doom, it is better to let them stay in the city, as long as the lord's army can return to help in time, and the city of Meiji is not broken, they will still have a glimmer of life." ”

Although Guo Tu said this, he knew in his heart that this might be a negligible surname!

Gao Shun thought about it and sighed dejectedly: "It's okay." ”

"There is one more thing that must be done before the Liangzhou army and the Jizhou army are killed."

After Guo Tu finished speaking, he turned around and faced the busy construction site in the city, and countless busy slave figures instantly met Guo Tu's eyes, and suddenly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Guo Tu's bloodshot eyes.

"Once the war breaks out, our army will do its best to defend the city, and there will be no extra troops to come and hold these slaves, so ~~"

Guo Tu said this, and made a knife cutting gesture with his hand.

Liao Hua gasped when he heard this, and said in a mouthful of words: "What does Mr. mean, killing more than 10,000 slaves?" ”

"Hmm."

Guo Tu nodded expressionlessly.

Liao Hua said: "But~~ This is more than 10,000 strong laborers, without the permission of the lord, is this done~~"

Guo Tu said: "The military situation is urgent, and it's too late to report to the lord!" Moreover, these more than 10,000 slaves are untamed, once the war is urgent, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos from it, for the sake of beauty, for the great cause of the lord, these more than 10,000 slaves, categorically cannot be kept, they will die, if they do not die, they will die! ”

Liao Hua said in a condensed voice: "The last general understands. ”

Guo Tu turned his gaze to Gao Shun and said, "General Gao Shun, this matter~~ will be handed over to you, just so that those recruits under your command can see blood." ”

Gao Shun clenched his fists and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

……

The night was dark, but the camp was bright and crowded.

The surname Cao, who was ordered to temporarily command the whole army, did not dare to slack off, and sent an additional 24 patrol team to patrol around the camp all the time, lest Ma Yuejun steal the camp at night. While stepping up patrols, the surname Cao also organized the infantry on the east bank of the river to cross the river overnight to enrich the Bingzhou camp west of the river.

Escorted by more than a dozen personal soldiers, the surname Cao proudly boarded the gate, and a small colonel guarding the gate had already stepped forward and said loudly: "The villain sees the general." ”

"Hmm~~" The surname Cao nodded and asked, "Is there any movement outside the camp?" ”

"Back to the general, there is no movement."

"Well, be on guard, but if there's a stir, I'll report it immediately."

"Yes."

"Hmm!" Yuanmen Junior School's voice fell, and the surname Cao suddenly frowned, and said in a condensed voice, "What sound?" ”

The colonel and the soldiers looked around blankly, and they didn't hear any unusual noises at all.

The surname Cao had a clear gaze, spread his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Bow here!" ”

A personal soldier had already handed the four-stone iron tire bow to the surname Cao, who held the bow in his hand, and drew a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow from the quiver in the hand of the personal soldier on the string, and turned his head to the little colonel next to him and said: "You take a torch and throw it hard in front of the gate, how far and how far you throw." ”

"Yes."

The little colonel of Yuanmen did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled out a burning mutton fat torch from Yuanmen, rounded his arm and threw it forward, and suddenly, the burning torch rolled forward and flew out, drawing a bright and dazzling trajectory in the air, Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and by the light of the fire, he saw that there were many black figures moving in the open space outside the gate.

The surname Cao exhaled, and the four-stone iron-tired bow was full in an instant, and there was a trembling sound, and the wolf's tooth arrow on the string had already shot out like lightning.

"Uh~"

Almost as Cao surnamed Fang let go, a terrible scream sounded in the darkness in front of the gate.

"Good archery!"

The colonel of Yuanmen and his own soldiers applauded, and the surname Cao was inevitably proud in his heart, and when he was about to shoot the second arrow, a cold murderous aura suddenly struck from under the night sky, locking him firmly.

"Huh~"

The next moment, a terrible sound of breaking the air sounded from the endless darkness in front of him, and when Cao's face changed drastically and he was about to dodge, a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow had already pierced his left chest, and the strong force stored on the arrow branch carried Cao's body backwards and hit the gauntlet wood heavily.

"Tuk!"

The sharp wolf's tooth arrow pierced Cao's left shoulder and pierced deep into the gauntlet.

"General!"

"General!"

"General!"

The colonel and the soldiers guarding the gate shouted loudly, and when they looked closely, they saw a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow piercing through Cao's left shoulder, nailing him to the gauntlet Yuanmu. The black eyes of the surname Cao were cold, and half of his body was already numb, and it was difficult to move at all.

"Huh~~"

There was another sound of breaking the air, and another thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow swept into the air, this time the surname Cao was no longer able to dodge, he could only watch the cold light flash in front of him, and then felt a cold throat, and when he slowly lowered his head, a wolf tooth arrow was trembling slightly in the evening breeze.

Cao's surname is from a negative archery skill, but he didn't expect to die under the enemy's arrows tonight!

A faint self-deprecation flashed in Cao's eyes, and he immediately tilted his head and died of anger.

"General!!

Colonel Yuanmen and his own soldiers roared bitterly, looking at the surname Cao in disbelief, they couldn't believe that the general surnamed Cao, who was the best at archery in the Bingzhou army, would actually be killed by the enemy with arrows.

"It's not good, there's movement outside the camp!"

"Someone looks like it."

"Bring the torches, torches!"

A soldier hurriedly pulled a burning mutton fat torch from the gate, the colonel took the torch from the soldier's hand, and threw it forward again, when the torch rolled across the night sky, and the soldiers were horrified to find that there were countless black shadows approaching outside the gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy ~~"

Colonel Yuanmen's howl stopped abruptly, and a cold wolf's tooth arrow had pierced his throat, so that he could not make a sound again, and Colonel Yuanmen raised his hands with great difficulty, and grabbed his throat tightly, and the strength of his body retreated from his body like a tide.

"Servant~"

Colonel Yuanmen fell straight down.

"Instigation~~"

In the darkness, dense like locusts rain of arrows from outside the camp to shoot, guarding in the gate and the state soldiers caught off guard, wailing and fell, the next moment, countless black shadows emerged from the night outside the gate, through the light of the burning fire on the gate, faintly can be seen, it is countless cavalry are quietly rushing over, throwing bundles of black firewood outside the gate, less than a moment of effort, a hill was piled up outside the gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Archer, archer hurry up~~"

By the time the archers of the Bingzhou army arrived quickly, the enemy cavalry had already roared away, and the next moment, in the endless darkness ahead, there were suddenly dots of firelight, and suddenly, the scattered firelight had swept up into the air, and fell towards the piles of firewood in front of the gate of the Bingzhou camp.

"Not good, it's a rocket! The enemy is going to attack with fire! An experienced veteran of Bingzhou howled bitterly, "Water, get water quickly, prepare to fight the fire~~"

"Instigation~~"

Rows of rockets fell all over the sky, and the firewood heaped in front of the Bingzhou camp soon burned, and the fire quickly spread, from the initial sporadic fire, it soon burned into a raging fire, and when the soldiers of the Bingzhou took the river water from the river, the fire had already lost control, and even the gates, fences, and even the antlers of the camp began to burn.

……

On the east bank of the river, and the state camp.

Zhang Liao rushed out of the room with a spoon and shovel in his hand, although this guy had just been beaten with thirty military sticks yesterday, but the young man was in good health, and he recovered quickly, although he was still limping, he was already able to move around freely. Zhang Liao rushed out of the room, only to see the Bingzhou camp on the west bank of the river in flames, and the shouts of killing and screaming had already resounded.

"The enemy steals the camp, and the big camp seems to have been breached!"

"General Wei Xu has been killed, General Lu Bu, General Hou Cheng and General Cao are all on the west bank of the river, without the military orders of the three generals, what can we do?"

"What else can we do, even if we have the heart to go to the rescue, we can't cross the river."

The soldiers of the state, who were startled by the fire, gathered by the river and pointed to the west bank, and made a noise.

Zhang Liao abandoned the spoon and shovel, snatched the waist knife from the hand of a stunned soldier, strode to the ferry, rushed to the approach bridge of the ferry, and shouted: "Where is the boat? Where is the ferry? ”

"The ferry is on the other side, not on this side."

In the panic, some soldiers responded to Zhang Liao.

"Damn!" Zhang Liao hated to stomp his feet, stomped on the heavy wooden board and made a muffled sound, Zhang Liao's expression suddenly moved, and he greeted quickly, "A few of you, and you, come here, all come here, quickly!" ”

A group of soldiers surrounded him for no apparent reason, looking at Zhang Liao blankly.

Zhang Liao waved his knife and cut off a supporting wooden pillar on the side of the approach bridge at the ferry, and said quickly: "Unload the bridge board of this approach bridge, prop it up into the river to make a raft, and then take the raft to the rescue, hurry, hurry!" ”

A group of soldiers suddenly realized, rushed over and began to swing their knives and slash, and the soldiers of Bingzhou, who were watching the fire not far away, also surrounded and helped.
