Lu Bu is here, and it is not surprising at all. Since he sent assassins, he naturally had to be prepared for two things: the assassination failed, and the flag died down; The assassination was successful, and it was surrounded by heavy troops.

If Xiahoudun was stabbed to death, Cao Ying would lose his main general, and there would be chaos. There is no doubt that this is the perfect time to attack the Cao camp, expand the results of the battle, and even defeat the last elite force of the Cao army in Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Even if he knew that this hope was very slim, once he succeeded, the benefits were so attractive that Lu Bu would rather work in vain, but also set up a heavy siege and be ready to attack at any time.

Lu Bu sent 5,000 troops, and Xue Lan assisted 2,000 troops, totaling 7,000 troops, and did not have an absolute advantage in terms of troops. Mainly because this is a night attack, the soldiers are easy to scatter and scatter, and the difficulty of command is much greater than that of daytime arrays. This requires the commander-in-chief and generals at all levels to have a very strong ability to control the troops, and to achieve the level of command. Therefore, among the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu, 3,000 soldiers were 100% of his Bingzhou army, and only 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers were Yanzhou army, and these miscellaneous soldiers were used to help the momentum and prestige.

Lü Bu's soldiers and horses were originally five miles away, but later they heard the sentry report that Cao Ying was in turmoil, so the army quietly moved forward to cover two miles, just in time for Ma Han to detect. At such a close distance, unless the patrol posts arranged by Cao Ying were all dead, it would never be possible for them not to be discovered.

According to the normal historical development, Xiahoudun and Han Hao, one singing red-faced and the other black-faced, fooled the five assassins into abandoning their weapons, and then killed them. Then immediately inspect the troops and horses and make a tight defensive posture. Lu Bu saw that the assassination failed, and there was no chance to take advantage of it. had no choice but to retreat from the army, and the real labor was fruitless.

However, at this moment, history is different, the assassin is indeed dead, but Xiahoudun has also suffered a heavy loss, and at this time Cao's camp is in chaos. In the process of bandaging the wound, Xiahoudun fainted in pain several times. Cheng Yu endured the pain of his palm, and at the same time suffered the guilt of accidentally injuring Xiahoudun, and the whole person had lost his usual calm. The mind is in a trance, and there is no hope for it.

At this time, Han Hao, who was the deputy, was so anxious that he was wandering around outside the main account. The enemy army has already come to the door, and the main general is still healing, sometimes sober, sometimes faint. There are no military orders, no arrows, and no command. How can this battle be fought?

Just when Han Hao was almost vomiting blood, a weak call like "Xianyin" finally came from the tent: "Han Sima, please enter the account." ”

Sima Han Hao of the Dianjun took three steps and made two steps, lifted the curtain and entered, and the tent was filled with a strong smell of blood and medicine. Xiahoudun, who was originally lying on the couch, had already sat up. He is wearing armor under the service of the guards. This dignified and powerful general in the past has a pale face, purple lips, and a white cloth wrapped around one left eye.

Xiahoudun's face was expressionless. Stared at Han Hao with that one-eyed, and said coldly, "Is it Lu Bu's house?" ”

Han Hao lowered his head: "Yes, it can't really be seen in the dark." But no less than 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Xiahoudun snorted coldly: "Very good, do you think that if I am injured, I will not be able to command the army?" Lu Bu, I'll let you take a good look at it......" Xiahoudun said as he ignored the dissuasion of the guards and forcibly snatched a photo of the bronze mirror......

Bang dang! There was a sound of gold and iron shattering and a roar like a wounded beast from the military tent: "Lu Bu! I swear to you! ”

……

In ancient times, both armies would try to avoid night battles, because night battles were fought in a disorderly manner. It is impossible to line up, it is impossible to command, it is impossible to use tactics, and even the superiority of troops cannot be reflected. The two sides are just a mess, winning inexplicably and losing in a mess.

Night battles are only worth fighting in one situation, and that is night attacks, as is the case in the current battle of Lu Bu's cover attack on Cao Ying.

Night raid battles, Ma Han has also fought before. Two years ago, he led hundreds of white wolves to ride three hundred miles, and joined forces with the Xianbei Suri Department to attack the old nest of Hiraoka Karasuma Wuyan. It's just that there were not many men and horses led by Ma Han at that time, and they were all cavalry, and after a long time of cooperating, the wolf's tooth flying cavalry with a high degree of tacit understanding was very good, so it was fought in a disciplined and rhythmic manner, and finally defeated Wuyan in a battle and won a big victory in the night attack.

And right now, Lu Bu's 7,000 troops attacked Cao Ying at night, this was a melee of 10,000 people, and that scene was called chaos, and all the rules and regulations battle array was gone.

In the darkness, the soldiers in the front row of the attacking side were holding shields and spears, and a large number of soldiers were clustered behind them. The footsteps roared, and it sounded in the empty darkness, but it was like the rustle of unknown creatures in the boundless darkness, which was terrifying and unsettling......

Lü Bu's Bingzhou army marched quite methodically at first, and the whole army was divided into ten large phalanxes, five in the front and five in the back, covering an area of only one mile, and basically could still be commanded. There are two rows of auxiliaries on the left and right sides of each 500-person phalanx, and there is a military marquis and two generals on each side and behind, and there is also a Chinese military drum and bugle player behind the team to give orders to command-the flag is basically not clear in the night battle, and can only be commanded by drum and trumpet.

Originally, under the command of Lu Bu's experienced generals, the army marched in an orderly manner, but as it got closer and closer to Cao Ying, Xue Lan's Juye army first commotioned, then coaxed, and finally roared one after another, surging forward like a tide.

The Yanzhou army, which was behind the Bingzhou army, was also infected and started a commotion. In this case, the state army had to rush with the tie-up, and the army naturally became chaotic as soon as the army rushed forward.

At first, Cao's army was panicked and did not receive effective command for a long time, and the counterattack was very weak, and after a few rounds of random arrows, it was rushed to the front of the camp by the Lü Bu coalition army. As soon as the two armies came into contact, they became white-hot. The soldiers in the front row of the coalition army stabbed their swords and spears, killing people at sight, while the soldiers in the back swarmed forward.

The chaos of the battle, what lighting, command, drums, all messed up. Everyone shouted hoarsely, and no one knew why they were shouting so hard; Many people don't care whether they are friends or foes in front, slashing and stabbing indiscriminately, and I don't know how many people have been killed by cold knives and cold guns in the back; Many soldiers in the front row were squeezed down the trench, hit the antlers, and even fell to the ground, trampled by countless pairs of big feet behind...... In comparison, those who were squeezed to meet the enemy's blades were good, at least they were killed in battle......

The horse warriors and the white wolf warriors were stunned, and the night battle was ...... Even if he wins after the war, I'm afraid it will be a disastrous victory of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of myself.

Ma Han shook his head and said without replying: "Man Cheng, Cao Jun is not good, do you want to help?" Well? Man Cheng ......" and did not respond. Ma Han turned his head, and Li Dian and his sixteen guests were all gone.

At this time, a wolf cavalry warrior approached and bowed down and said, "That pawn has already taken his men away, saying that he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Xue Lan, and he didn't dare to disturb the city guard, so he left without saying goodbye." ”

Ma Han was stunned, shook his head with a smile: "This Li Mancheng is also a little tough." That's it, good people do it to the end, and people are enough. Let's go meet him. ”

With such a chaotic army and such a killing machine in the dark, even if he was a horseman, he didn't dare to get involved lightly, so he could only do his best to respond. If you can't respond, Li Dian and the others can only ask for more blessings.

Li Dian didn't say goodbye, it was really shameless to ask Ma Han for help again - after careful calculation, Ma Han had saved him twice. Not to mention that the middle father and the whole brother have received great favors. Attacking and killing Xue Lan in the chaos of the army, this kind of high-risk thing can be called nine deaths. Li Dian had already held the determination to kill himself and led sixteen dead soldiers to attack. Naturally, Ma Han can't be let know, otherwise there will be a suspicion of moral kidnapping.

Li Dian did not attack blindly, when Ma Han was sighing for the chaotic battle in front of him, Li Dian's eyes were blazing. Constant search in the Lü Bu coalition army. He first found the phalanx of the Juye soldiers, and then scanned back along the phalanx, and roughly saw a gathering place of cavalry with large black banners and significantly higher than the foot soldiers. That area is most likely where the Chinese army of Xue Lan is located.

Perhaps it was the providence of heaven in the dark, when Li Dian led the disciples to rush down from the high slope, he was confronted by more than a dozen deserters. In this kind of chaotic night battle, it is normal to have deserters, Li Dian didn't want to pay attention to it, but as soon as the two sides went up and down, they couldn't hold back and almost bumped into each other.

The instinct of the battlefield made both sides shine at the same time, and a weapon light flashed across Li Dian's face, and at this moment, he heard the other side exclaim: "Yes...... It's a pawn boy! ”

Li Dian was stunned, and the big sword in his hand tightened: "Who are you?" ”

The other party hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put away their blades and kneel on one knee: "The small name is Peng Qi, the Ju Savage clan, and the inner Li clan is a member of the Diangongzi clan." ”

Li Dian suddenly said: "Do you know where Xue Lan is?" ”

Peng Qi hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly: "The small one belongs to the seventh array, and the one hundred steps behind is the Chinese army ...... driven by Xue Bei."

Li Dian's sword flashed, and he put it on Peng Qi's neck, and his voice was fierce: "Take me to find Xue Lan!" ”

Peng Qi's neck stiffened, he swallowed dryly, and his eyes widened: "Does the pawn master want to rely on these dozen people to take the head of the main general in the thousands of troops?" It's hard to see ...... small ones."

"It's hard for me, it's up to you whether to go or not."

Peng Qi squinted at the sharp blade and said with a wry smile: "Dare to disobey your fate?" ”

Peng Qi really didn't lie, he led Li Dian and his party, bypassing the side of the battlefield and approaching the Juye Army from the rear. Peng Qi is a tun commander, with a low-level command flag on his back, and it is with this command flag that he uses the darkness to cover up and report the emergency military situation, he breaks through three alerts in a row and approaches the Chinese army where Xue Lan is located. But their good fortune also ends here, the fourth cordon, no matter how much Peng Qi asks, cannot be passed. If you want to report on the military situation, you can, just wait here, and the guard will ask a military marquis to come and listen to see if it is worthwhile. But no matter whether it is valuable or not, it is impossible to say goodbye, and a small tun chief is not qualified enough.

Peng Qi reluctantly turned around and said to Li Dian who was hidden under a suit of armor: "Dian Gongzi, the little one has done his best." ”

"I see it." Li Dian's eyes narrowed under the helmet, "Xue Lan, this thief, is really cautious." ”

A doorman stepped forward and whispered: "Pawn Gongzi, it's just a hundred steps, let's break through!" ”

Li Dian's eyes were staring at a hundred steps away, the black Chinese army, under the big sword, was the enemy. Even though I really want to agree with what the doorman said, I forced myself to kill him, but reason told him, which was tantamount to death.

No way! Wait, think again, there must be a way! There must be a chance!

Just when Li Dian and the doorman were anxious, and Peng Qi, who was driven to the shelves, was sad, good luck came again.

A fast horse rushed into the Chinese army from the other side, and I don't know what to say, Xue Lan's Chinese army actually moved. Normally, when the two armies are fighting, the Chinese army must not move at will, and this will affect the morale of the officers and men fighting at the front. However, this is a night attack, the flag is basically useless, and the Juye soldiers have long been disrupted, many soldiers have rushed into the Cao camp, who cares about the Chinese army? Even if there is a counterattack by Cao Bing on the Chinese army, the soldiers in front will not be able to pull it back to rescue.

But even so, what can make the Chinese army move is still not a trivial matter. Li Dianke didn't matter what prompted Xue Lan to move, he only knew that the opportunity had come. Because the direction of the Chinese army's movement is coming towards them, this time, it is not them looking for Xue Lan, but Xue Lan coming up on her own.

Firelight hunting, hurrying, the brigade from the ring protection, wearing heavy armor Xue Lan rode away. At this moment, he was frowning, and did not take a second glance at the more than ten armorers who were kneeling on the ground beside the road. But at this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in his ears: "Thief! Do you know Cheng's Li Dian! ”

Xue Lan was startled, raised her head and turned her face - more than thirty steps away, the leader of the group of kneeling armor soldiers, his face was blurred, but a crossbow in his hand was vivid.

Include! The machine spring snapped, and a cold light shot through the heavy husk from the figure.

Blood burst out and ran through the throat.

Xue Lan's screams were blocked in her throat, and she didn't say a word, and she fell on her back.

The Juye Chinese army was suddenly in chaos.

Sixteen guests jumped up one after another, waved their halberds and shields, and protected Li Diantuan.

In the face of the furious and furious Xue Lan, who came to kill him with a horse, Li Dian did not laugh back, and laughed very happily: "Middle father, whole brother, Dian is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

The doormen shouted one after another: "Pawn boy, go quickly!" ”

Li Dian threw down his crossbow and drew his sword and roared: "Come together, let's go together - let's kill it!" ”

However, Li Dian didn't know that at this moment, a cold arrow that could never be avoided was aimed at his back. (To be continued......)
