Chapter 199: The Attack Camp of the Final War
Cao Cao was not a careless person, even if he knew that the enemy would not be able to appear in the jungle, he still maintained absolute vigilance.
Scouts were scattered, scouting every nook and cranny. It was reported before that the enemy was covered with weeds to ambush, so he also conducted a counter-ambush investigation for this, and as a result, he arrived at the main camp of the Yellow Turban safely, but he really did not encounter the enemy.
This somewhat disappointed him, as it meant that the enemy did not deliberately attract them to attack. In this way, the possibility of leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the main camp will increase the probability a little, and this time the battle will be much safer.
"General, ahead is the enemy camp...... Look, we don't light more bonfires at night, if we cover up the past, wouldn't we be able to capture them in one fell swoop? One of the lieutenants reported.
Cao Cao was also observing the enemy camp at the moment, and found that the campfire in the camp was indeed too few, especially on the periphery. This makes their location completely a blind spot, and they can't see that there is a group of people here who are about to attack them. On the contrary, there was a lot of fire in the camp, which made the camp itself a good target, pointing the enemy in the right direction.
"Maybe that Fang Yun really went north with Bo Cai, otherwise the Yellow Turban Thief's camp wouldn't have become like this." Another lieutenant also expounded his opinion.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know later! Tell the order, slow down the pace when charging, and if the enemy perceives our presence, we will be dealt with by military law after the war! In addition, prepare some torches, and find a way to burn their tents after entering the enemy camp, regardless of whether the other party is fraudulent or not, I don't believe that they don't feel sorry for these tents and supplies! Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and then gave the order.
"Whoa!" When the two lieutenants heard this, they naturally accepted this decision gladly, which was exactly what they liked.
I can't say it, you can burn the camp while searching for something valuable in it as extra money. It is said that the Yellow Turban thieves have broken through a lot of dock forts and cities along the way, killed a lot of rich people, and should have robbed a lot of valuable things.
It's hard not to be excited to think of those things that will soon be in their pockets!
Cao Cao naturally knew the filthiness in their hearts, but he didn't stop it, after all, the soldiers of this era are in this virtue, plus they are not their own troops in the first place, if they suppress too much, it will not be conducive to getting along in the future. For some inclined to dive. The existence of rules, default is the best choice.
Torches don't need to be specially prepared, and the possibility of returning to the camp in the starry night has been expected, so the unlit torches are naturally prepared in advance, and they only need to be lit to be put into use immediately.
Under Cao Cao's order, the troops began to advance slowly, and seeing that they were about to get out of the darkness, they shouted loudly and killed the Yellow Turban camp under his order.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have really been defeated, and when they found a large-scale night attack by the enemy, the people patrolling the camp were also more than ten seconds late before sounding the gong. This was enough time for the enemy to rush to the front of the battalion.
The anti-horse positions prepared in front of the tent were destroyed by the opponent, and then a surprise attack was quickly launched in the center. The soldiers who remained did not have time to get up in their dreams and join the battle, and the enemy had already slain.
"Light the fire, burn the camp!" Cao Cao shouted.
The rear army of the Han army immediately began to light the torches, and under the cover of the front army, they began to burn the military tents on both sides, and the fire was rapidly expanded.
"The Han army is in, run!" I don't know who shouted, the Yellow Turban Army, who had no sense of resistance, immediately scattered and fled very embarrassed.
"Continue to burn the camp, tell the whole army to be careful, beware of the enemy's tricks!" Cao Cao shouted.
In fact, if the army advances in a regular sequence, then there is no need to be careful at all.
The reason why Cao Cao shouted so much was that on the side of the Chinese army, the two captains had already begun to search the camp tents with the help of their personal guards. From time to time, I took out something of value and happily put it in my arms. After this battle, the captured foreign money is higher than their military salary for a year, what could be more joyful than this?!
Cao Cao can only turn a blind eye to this, he is not the army he brought out, he can't be too harsh. The most important thing is that the two lieutenants are also very knowledgeable, and they left him a copy of everything. After the war, he will also have a lot of income, which is much more considerable than his army salary!
"Shoot!" A shout came out, which immediately frightened Cao Cao and the others.
I saw that in the camp tent not far away, more than 500 Yellow Turban soldiers armed with strong crossbows suddenly jumped out of the dozen or so military tents that were originally thought to be empty, and shot at Cao Cao's troops as soon as they shouted.
At least more than 200 of the former sergeants were killed by arrows, and the rest were slightly wounded, but they were not fatal.
"Retreat!" The officer led by the crossbowmen shouted loudly, and the whole army began to retreat at full speed.
"Sure enough, there is a fraud!" Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately realized that this camp was not as simple as it seemed. Obviously, there are elite troops in this camp as well.
"Leave from the north gate, don't fall in love!" Cao Cao would not pursue, and it was most undesirable to pursue when the situation was unclear. The most important thing to do at this moment is to quickly leave the camp and reach an open place where you can return to the world to assemble, and then proceed cautiously to the next step.
The large army quickly turned around and walked towards the North Camp Gate.
"Han Jun, I've been waiting for a long time!" But I didn't want to, but there was an extra row of simple rejection horses at the Beiying Gate, and then there were thousands of archers waiting there for a long time.
"That's all there? Retreat, retreat from the South Gate! Cao Cao was shocked and immediately shouted.
But before his troops could turn around, thousands of arrows were spilled down. In this narrow camp area, there was no way for the five thousand soldiers to dodge well, so at least six or seven hundred soldiers were hit by arrows, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
The Han army had already turned around as fast as possible and ran towards the Nanying Gate, but still ushered in the second round of arrow rain. However, the two captains were not vegetarians, and they commanded the sword and shield soldiers in the army to cover, which immediately minimized the casualties, and the thousands of arrows only shot less than a hundred people.
"There are no enemy troops at the south gate, let's go!" Cao Cao saw the defenseless south gate from a distance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Han Jun, Grandpa Dian has been waiting here for a long time!" Dian Wei suddenly jumped out, and there were thousands of heavy infantry armed with copper shackles behind him.
The Copper Gun was originally a relatively heavy weapon, so the attack pattern was relatively simple. As long as you dodge properly, there is basically a good chance that you will be able to avoid the attack. But in this narrow environment, it restricts the space to dodge left and right, making this weapon exert 200% power!
"Kill it! Those who are guilty of strong men! Cao Cao shouted, at this moment he was ready to fight.
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!" The soldiers shouted, and their morale was greatly improved, but compared to Huangfu Song's situation of raising his arms and shouting, all the soldiers seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, but it was much weaker.
"The sky is dead!" Dian Wei was not afraid at all, and he also raised his arms.
"Huang Tian should stand!" The soldiers shouted, and their morale was even more explosive.
Dian Wei inherited Ye Tianlong's talent 'Infantry is good at', and the infantry under control at this moment has all his attributes improved. In addition, now that our side has an absolute advantage, the soldiers are also full of fighting spirit, just waiting to fight the enemy!
In a short time, the two sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The Han army used pikemen as the front army, and used spears and bronze soldiers to maneuver. But the camp was still too cramped, and they couldn't fully express their agility. On the contrary, Dian Wei took the lead in the enemy's formation, and the double halberds rushed left and right, but they killed a large number of Han soldiers.
"This person is Dian Wei, he is really a fierce general!" Cao Cao values talents the most, and when he saw Dian Wei's performance, he immediately had an appreciative attitude. However, the situation between the two sides at the moment could not allow him to delay at all, so he could only seize the time to break through.
"Kill the Han army!" There was a shout of killing from the rear, and the crossbowmen and archers from before were also killed.
Seeing this, Cao Cao's eyes wandered, and he immediately fled into the camp with his guards, and disappeared after a while. As for the rest of the army, they probably also killed the red eye, but completely forgot about his existence.
When the number of people became smaller and smaller, one of the lieutenants realized: Where did Cao Cao's gang go?!
"Where are you looking in the battle array?" A voice burst into applause.
Just waiting for the captain to turn his head, he suddenly lifted his body as if it had become much lighter, and then his gaze kept retreating, and finally what appeared in the line of sight was a familiar headless corpse......
"Fight the fire, order the soldiers on the periphery, search for the remaining soldiers of the enemy, and don't let anyone escape back!" Fang Yun appeared in the position and quickly made follow-up arrangements.
Unbeknownst to him, the three figures had taken the opportunity to sneak out of the tent and disappeared into the darkness, and under the cover of the night, no one knew about their departure.
"Childe, I'll wait for this embarrassment to come back, will Huangfu Song be blamed?" One of the Darkblade members asked.
"It's okay, compared to our failure, Fang Yun's news here is more valuable. The most important thing is that I think the other party should have follow-up arrangements, and if we go back one step earlier, we will be able to save Huangfu Song from losses one day earlier, maybe in the end we will make up for it, and even have a little credit! Cao Cao returned disappreciatively.
If you want to say that he has a black heart and a thick face, he may not be able to do it, but he can do it without being informal. The lives of two ordinary lieutenants and five thousand soldiers are not as valuable as his Cao Mengde's life!
At the same time, another army began to rush towards Huangfu Song's camp. Dressed in Han army armor, they were in tatters, as if they were a defeated army, and ran in the direction of the camp in embarrassment...... (To be continued.) )
