On the banks of the Yingshui, when night falls, the wind blowing from the river has a hint of coolness.

In the Qin army camp, tens of thousands of soldiers carried swords and shields, quietly waiting for Lu Bu to give the order to set off.

In the night attack on Cao's army, Lü Bu decided to use half of his soldiers and horses, while the other half, led by several partial generals, guarded the military camp in case the enemy launched a surprise attack.

In the quiet barracks, there were fully armed Qin army officers and soldiers.

Every Qin Jun's face showed a sense of fortitude and solemnity.

Everyone standing here knows very well that tonight's battle may be the key to defeating Cao's army in one fell swoop, and whether they can defeat Cao's army overnight depends on whether they can avoid Cao's eyes and ears tonight and rush into the enemy's main camp.

Holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, Lu Bu rode on horseback and walked back and forth a few times in front of the Qin army waiting for orders.

He didn't use any rhetoric to boost the morale of the soldiers, but from the resolute looks on the faces of the soldiers, he could already see that in tonight's battle, the soldiers had already held back all their strength.

"Let's go!" After walking around in front of the soldiers of the Qin army in the array, Lu Bu raised his hand and made a gesture towards the soldiers, and took the lead in walking outside the barracks.

No one in the ranks lit a torch, and attacking the enemy at night was a surprise, and if the torches were fired, it would be tantamount to telling the enemy that they were going.

The 10,000 Qin army, under the leadership of Lu Bu, quietly left the barracks and marched straight towards the Cao army barracks, which was not very far from them.

At this time, in the Cao army camp, there were more than 10,000 soldiers who had already lined up in formation.

Sun Guan, who was riding a tall horse, looked at the soldiers in front of him, but his brows were always tightly wrinkled.

The Qingzhou army already had a kind of fear of the Qin army from the bones, and in the first battle, the losses of the Qingzhou army were extremely severe, and the little fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers had long been exhausted.

Although he was going to lead the army to raid the Qin army at the moment, looking at the Qingzhou army officers and soldiers in front of him, Sun Guan did not have much hope for this raid in his heart.

The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who lined up in formation were all listless, and they didn't have much confidence in this raid at all.

His eyes roamed over the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, Sun Guan frowned tightly, and shouted to them: "Cheer up General Ben!" ”

Sun Guan's shouting was not very loud, after all, he was going to raid the Qin army at night, if the shouting was too loud and attracted the attention of the Qin army, this raid had not yet been launched, and it had already failed.

Although his voice was not very loud, the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army present were still shocked by his drinking, and raised their heads one by one and looked at Sun Guan on horseback.

"Are you afraid of the Qin army?" His gaze wandered around the faces of the soldiers, and Sun Guan asked them in a cold voice.

was asked by Sun Guan like this, and all the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army lowered their heads.

As a warrior, it is an unspeakable shame for every Qingzhou army to have a sense of fear for their enemies.

But although they knew that this was a shame, when facing the Qin army, for some reason, there would still be an irrepressible panic in their hearts.

The strength of the Qin army has long taken root in the hearts of the Qingzhou army.

In the cognition of all the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army, even the main force fought with the Qin Army, which was more than one lost and won less, not to mention the Qingzhou Army, which lacked training and was poorly equipped to the extreme.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army did not speak, but their faces showed a deep sense of shame.

Seeing the shame on the faces of the soldiers, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Guan's mouth, and he said to them: "I still know that I am ashamed, it is enough to prove that you are not yet incorrigible!" ”

When Sun Guan spoke, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army still lowered their heads, and only a few people looked up at him and peeked at him, and then lowered their heads again.

The soldiers didn't dare to speak, but Sun Guan raised his hand at this time and pointed in the direction of the Qin army's military camp and asked them, "Do you want to wash away the shame?" ”

The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army present all raised their heads, and all their eyes looked at Sun Guan.

Silence, enough silence to be suffocating.

After a moment of silence, suddenly every Qingzhou army raised their blades high and shouted in unison: "Wash the snow and shame!" ”

This shout was full of confidence, but when the soldiers made this shout, Sun Guan knew that although the morale had been raised, the sneak attack had already been lost.

The military camps of the two sides were very close to each other, and the shout from the soldiers was enough to shake through the dark night, and it was impossible for the Qin army to hear it or not.

Sun Guan expected it well, and the shouts of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army reached the ears of the Qin army.

It's just that it was not only the Qin army in the barracks who heard their shouts, but also the 10,000 Qin army soldiers led by Lu Bu himself.

It was already very close to the Cao Jun barracks, and when he heard the shout from the Qingzhou Army, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile.

The Qingzhou army mobilized at this time to fight at night, and the purpose of the Qin army was to raid their military camp.

Since the Qingzhou army has the intention to start a night battle, their wish has been fulfilled over there!

Lu Bu didn't say anything, just beckoned behind him.

The soldiers of the Qin Army, who also knew in their hearts that they were absolutely not allowed to make the slightest noise at this time, did not make the slightest sound, and followed Lu Bu towards the military camp of the Qingzhou Army.

Seeing that he was only more than fifty steps away from the Qingzhou army barracks, Lu Bu raised his arm, stopped the march of the team, and whispered to an officer who followed behind: "Pass the order, lie dormant on the spot, and let the Qingzhou army go out of the barracks!" ”

"No!" The officer clenched his fists, answered softly, and conveyed Lu Bu's order to the officers and men of the whole army.

The raid was originally intended to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack.

But the Qingzhou army is also ready for night battles, and there must be many well-equipped soldiers in the barracks, and launching a surprise attack at this time has no such good effect.

Instead of taking the risk of raiding, it is better to quietly wait for the Qingzhou army to leave the barracks, cover from behind them, and at the same time allocate some troops and horses to raid the enemy barracks.

In this way, the night battle may end at dawn.

The 10,000 Qin army, only fifty steps away from the Cao army's barracks, lay down, staring at the Cao army's barracks with a pair of eyes, quietly waiting for the Cao army to come out of the barracks.

The strong crossbowmen of the Qin army who came here with Lu Bu had already put their arrows on the strong crossbow, and when Cao Jun came out of the barracks, Lu Bu gave the order to fire arrows at the enemy.

"Pass the order, 5,000 people intercept and kill Cao's army, and 5,000 people raid the enemy camp!" Looking at Cao Jun's barracks, Lu Bu whispered another order to an officer on the side.

The officer nodded, and the cat turned and ran.

Unaware that there was already a large army waiting for them outside the barracks, Sun Guan, after doing the pre-war mobilization, waved his hand to the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who participated in the night battle and shouted: "Go!" ”

The shouts of the soldiers have already exposed their intentions, and Sun Guan also feels that there is no need to hide it anymore, even if the Qin army is already prepared, as long as it breaks through to the front of the Qin army's barracks, it is still the enemy who will be beaten passively.

The 10,000 Qingzhou troops who participated in the night battle, after Sun Guan gave the order to set off, carried their blades, followed behind Sun Guan, left the barracks, and quickly advanced towards the barracks of the Qin army.

Unlike the Qin army, they had already exposed their whereabouts, but they did not hide it, and before they left the barracks, the soldiers had already lit torches.

The firelight illuminated the night, and also illuminated the way forward for the soldiers of the Cao army, but at the same time, it also made it easier for the Qin army, which was dormant nearby, to choose a target.

Leading 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers out of the barracks, Sun Guan rode on horseback, urging the war horse, intending to lead the army into the Qin army camp before the Qin army took complete precautions.

At this time, in the Qin army camp, the 10,000 soldiers and horses left behind were already ready, lined up in the barracks, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Cao army.

They didn't know that Lu Bu had changed his strategy, and thought that Lu Bu would continue to choose to attack Cao Jun's military camp, and the responsibility of guarding the military camp would fall to them.

The Qingzhou army, which had left the barracks, followed behind Sun Guan and traveled all the way, but in an instant, it reached the dormant position of the Qin army led by Lu Bu.

The Qingzhou army passed quickly from the side of the dormant place, and seeing that the Qingzhou army had already walked for the most part, Lu Bu suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

The strong crossbowmen of the Qin army, who had already prepared, heard Lu Bu's order, and they pulled off the reeds of the strong crossbow one after another.

With the sound of machine springs, arrows flew towards the Qingzhou army, which was marching rapidly.

I didn't expect that the Qin army had reached such a close distance from them, and the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army who were marching were caught off guard and were immediately shot on their backs.

Suddenly attacked, the morale of the 10,000 Qingzhou troops who had just been boosted out of the barracks was beaten to the bottom, and many Qingzhou troops were in a panic and scattered for their lives.

More than a dozen stunned Qingzhou soldiers, when the arrows flew, saw that their companions beside them fell to the ground one after another, and hurriedly ran away from the direction where they thought the arrows were flying.

But they didn't know that just in front of the direction they fled, there was a group of quietly dormant Qin troops waiting for them.

Dragging the weapons, the more than ten Qingzhou soldiers ran only more than ten steps, and there was a loud cheer in front of them, and then they saw a black person in front of them.

In the night, it was impossible to see what color of armor the people in front of them were wearing, but these more than ten Qingzhou soldiers knew that it would definitely not be their Tongze who was waiting for them in the dark.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and more than a dozen people quickly turned around and ran to the other side.
