Chapter 540: Zhang Liao is the bait
Let Cao Xi say it; My heart was settled, and I only heard Cao Zhangning ask in a condensed voice: "Sir, then should I go to the camp tonight?" â
Xun You smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Our army has the advantage, why do you need to go to the camp, tomorrow morning you will go to attack the camp and leave." â
Cao Zhang heard it and wondered: "But now that our army is in the dark and the enemy army is in the light, isn't attacking the camp head-on to abandon this advantage?" â
Xun You nodded and praised: "I am in the dark, the enemy is in the light, the third prince said it very well." However, does the third prince know who the opponent is this time? Cao Zhang replied without thinking about it: "Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan!" â
Xun You nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Liao is wise, and the false righteousness that day was defeated in his hands." Since he dared to reveal his whereabouts, he would naturally calculate that our army would come, and he must have some calculations about the possibility that our army might steal camps. If the third prince goes, I'm afraid that he will fall into his plan! â
Cao Zhang touched his chin with a little yellow beard, nodded and said, "What Mr. said is reasonable, but just give up this advantage of the enemy's light and my secret?" Xun You smiled and said: "Since it is an advantage, you can't give it up easily." Cao Zhang heard this and wondered: "What does Mr. Shao think?" â
Xun You stroked his chin lightly, and said with a smile: "Third son, come over with your ear......" Cao Zhang heard it, and hurriedly came down and put his ear to Xun You's mouth. Everyone couldn't help opening and closing their lips when they saw Xun You, but Cao Zhang nodded while listening, and finally smiled. Then Cao Zhang returned to the main seat and issued a series of orders.
The sky gradually darkened, but Zhang Xiujun's soldiers were on guard for a day, although the battle did not happen, but the mental wear and tear was still very strong. Now that it was getting dark, most of the men had returned to their tents early to rest after the changing of the guard and dinner.
Unlike the soldiers, Pang De and Zhang Liao's attitude was obviously much more cautious. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and this situation is the most vulnerable to night attacks, both Zhang Liao and Pang De understand this truth. Therefore, although the two did not wait for the news to spread, so as not to panic the soldiers, the look of vigilance on their faces was heavier than during the day. I only heard Zhang Liao say to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you kept vigil last night, and I will go to Liao 0 Ba tonight."
Pang De did not shirk, nodded and said: "De arranged for a personal guard to follow Wen Yuan, if there is something, he will immediately come to inform De." Zhang Liao nodded and said it was okay.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and it is the height of summer, when the weather is hot during the day, and the temperature becomes cooler at night, which is very refreshing. The cicadas in the surrounding trees and the various insects in the grass can't stop chirping, which makes people feel a little bored. However, it is better than the eerie atmosphere of silence, at least the mood is not too nervous. Zhang Liao inspected the camp and found nothing wrong, so he returned to his marching tent and prepared for Qin to go out to patrol the camp for a while. "Knock knock knock 1111111" Woo woo woo 111111 "Kill ah 111111"
Zhang Liao, who had just picked up the military book in the marching tent, suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of roses and horns outside the camp, and the sound of shouting and killing was mixed between the umbrellas. When Zhang Liao heard this, the whole person got up, took the straight knife that was attached to the side, and rushed directly to the military tent, running in the direction of the source of the sound.
It's just that before Zhang Liao arrived, the sound of drums, horns, and shouts of killing disappeared completely. Zhang Liao stood on the high platform in the camp and looked out, only to see that it was pitch black outside, his brows were condensed, and he muttered to himself: "Tired soldiers? â
"Wenyuan, what's going on?" While Zhang Liao was thinking, Pound's cry came from under the high platform. After Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately stepped off the high platform. When Pang De saw it, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Wenyuan, where is the enemy?" â
Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Liao was just reading in the tent, and when he heard the sound of the drums, he came out, and before all the sounds had stopped. After hearing this, Pound said curiously: "Tired soldiers? â
Zhang Liao nodded, then shook his head and said, "It may be, but if I take it as a tired tactic to deal with it, I am afraid that it will take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to steal the camp." Pang De groaned and nodded: "It's reasonable, what does Wen Yuan think should be?" â
Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers in the camp who rushed out because of the sound of drums and shouts of killing, and sighed helplessly and said: "Regardless of whether the soldiers are tired or not, since the enemy army has sent people to the front of the camp, it proves that they are nearby.
Tonight is crucial and not to be exploited by the enemy. In this case, I will send half of the soldiers out to patrol the guard, and the other half will go back to rest. If Liao is not bad as expected, the enemy army will definitely attack on a large scale tomorrow, and if Shi Nian is disturbed overnight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cope with the enemy attack tomorrow. â
After hearing this, Pound nodded and said, "Not bad." Wen Yuan has already inspected the first half of the night, and the second half of the night will be guarded by De, since there is a big battle tomorrow, the sandwich - as the main general, he will be in command, if he doesn't rest all night, it won't work. â
Zhang Liao saw that although Pang De's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was firm, and he also knew that what Pang De said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Don't be careless! Pound nodded and said, "Sandwich and rest assured, De knows it." â
Zhang Liao patted Pang De on the shoulder, and led the guards back to the marching tent to rest. As for Pound, he immediately commanded the soldiers in the camp, half of them went back to continue to rest, and told them that they did not need to pay attention to any sound outside the camp, just cover their heads and sleep. Then let the other half of the soldiers come out to strengthen the patrol of the camp, and at the same time Pound sent a lot of soldiers to the outside of the camp, close to the camp to inspect, and told that once the enemy was found, only shoot with bows and arrows, do not rush to pursue, and report to himself immediately.
As soon as Pound was arranged, the earth-shattering drums and trumpets sounded again outside the camp, as well as the sound of shouting and killing. Pound heard this, snorted coldly, and strode up to the high platform with a bow and arrow in hand. Under the double light of the fire and the hazy moonlight, Pound faintly saw the traces of enemy soldiers outside the camp.
Pound didn't think about it, he immediately raised the big bow in his hand, and quickly took a lip from the quiver with his right hand, and shot it towards the faint shadow outside the camp! The action is done in one go, without lag! "Whoosh...... "Ahh
The next moment, amid the sound of drums, trumpets, and shouts of killing, a terrible cry suddenly came out. Suddenly, the sound of drums and trumpets became quieter, and the shouts of killing suddenly became inaudible. After a few moments, all sounds died down, and the area around the camp was silent again, and then the annoying insect cries were heard again.
When Pound saw this scene, he just smiled coldly. Looking at the performance of the enemy army, Fang Cai's arrow obviously played a lot of deterrent role. Pound stepped down from the platform and ordered his soldiers to remain on guard and intensify their patrols.
I don't know if it was the effect of Pound's arrow, and for a whole hour, the enemy did not appear again. However, Pound, who has always been cautious, was not careless, and continued to inspect meticulously.
"Knock knock knock 111111" and "woo woo woo ......" were when many soldiers in the camp relaxed their guard, and the sound of drums and trumpets came out at the same time!
Pang De, who was patrolling the Chinese army camp, heard it and immediately rushed to the place where the shouting of killing came. As soon as he arrived, he saw the Cao army of the brigade carrying a ladder as high as the camp wall to attack the camp, and the attack was extremely fierce.
When Pang De saw it, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately commanded: "The sword and shield hand has a high platform to resist the enemy's attack!" Fast! The pikemen assemble and raise their guns under the high platform to cooperate with the sword and shield bearers to defend! Archers, ready to throw ...... Put!!! "Kill, one one"
Pound arrived in time and issued a series of orders, which calmed down the somewhat flustered and overwhelmed soldiers in the camp, and organized an effective defense.
Pang De came to command in time, and the originally fierce offensive of Cao's army was suddenly contained. At the same time, Pang De arranged for the sharpshooter to go to the sentry tower, relying on the condescending momentum, and shot the generals of the Cao army by the light of fire. "Dangdang 111111"
Just as Pound was preparing to organize a counterattack, a crisp sound of gold suddenly came from outside the camp. After hearing the sound of Mingjin, those Cao troops, who were originally extremely aggressive, quickly retreated like a tide.
Cao Jun can be said to come and go quickly. After a successful blow, he continued to attack, and when he saw Zhang Xiujun's reaction, he immediately stopped entangled and resolutely retreated. Looking at the silent environment around him, listening to the chirping of insects, if it weren't for the corpses of many soldiers piled up inside and outside the camp wall, and the blood that had not yet coagulated, I am afraid that I would not know that a great battle had just broken out here.
After Pound asked the adjutant general to command the cleaning up of the battlefield, a solemn look appeared on his face. Just looking at the fact that the enemy's advance and retreat are well-founded, and the decision to retreat decisively at a critical time, it can be seen that the opponent this time is by no means simple.
At this time, Zhang Liao in the camp had also turned out, and when he saw the mess, he immediately asked Pang De: "Ling Ming, is the enemy attacking?" â
Pang De nodded, and explained the reaction of the Cao army that had just come to attack Cao and the command of the enemy general. After Zhang Liao listened, he also showed a solemn look on his face and said, "It's really not simple. However, the lord often said that there are many generals in the Cao army who are so proficient in the art of war, but the courage of these generals is not first-class, which is a not big flaw in the Cao army. Pound nodded and said, "That being said, but don't be careless. â
Zhang Liao nodded and then looked at the sky, and found that a glimmer of light began to appear, and saw Pang De's eyes bloodshot, so he said: "If the color is bright today, Cao Jun should not come to attack." Ling Ming and go to rest for a while, and Liao will handle it here. Pound did not refuse, and worked for two nights in a row, and he was so tired at this time that he immediately went back to his tent to rest.
The situation after that was as Zhang Liao expected, and when the sky was bright, Cao Jun did not come to harass him again. When Zhang Liao saw that the sky was bright, he immediately sent scouts out to find out where Cao Jun was. After being harassed all night, Zhang Liao's temper was on fire, according to Zhang Xiu's words, if the enemy used a tired strategy, he should retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. It's just that because he couldn't find out about Cao Jun's situation last night, Zhang Liao had no choice, and now that the sky was bright, he naturally sent someone out to find out the news immediately.
It's just that Zhang Liao and the soldiers in the camp haven't finished their breakfast yet, and the earth-shattering sound of roses and horns has already been heard outside the camp. The sound of drums and trumpets this time was not at all comparable to last night, and the sound was endless, and it was only clear that it could be heard clearly within a radius of tens of miles.
When Zhang Liao heard this, his heart sank, and he said secretly: "It's time to attack so soon!" "After thinking about it, he poured the food in the wooden bowl directly into his mouth, and then threw down the wooden bowl and bamboo chopsticks and rushed to the camp gate with a straight knife." Pedaling the road il one one one"
When Zhang Ting arrived at the gate of the camp, he immediately climbed the high platform, and when he raised his eyes, he gasped!
I saw that the mountains outside the camp were full of Cao troops, and the flags were erected high, which could be described as covering the sky and the sun. The flags were densely packed, and the neat shouts of killing couldn't help but arouse the killing intent contained in the heart of Sergeant Cao! The killing intent of a famous soldier was aroused, and with the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of earth-shattering drums, it floated into the air, and then gradually converged into a chilling murderous aura!
Zhang Liao frowned unconsciously when he saw Cao Jun descending neatly one by one, and said secretly: "How can so many people finish the formation so quickly?" "From this point alone, Zhang Liao knows that there are capable people in Cao's army, so this battle will not be easy." "Kill, 111111"
At this moment, the drums became rapid in vain, and the soldiers of the two phalanxes in the front row of the Cao army carried the ladder and came again towards the camp!
When Zhang Liao saw it, he immediately reacted and shouted: "Archers, light crossbowmen, go to the high platform first!" Shieldmen and pikemen are always ready! â
Cao Jun was so fanfare that the defenders in the camp had already assembled inside the camp wall, and at this time, after hearing Zhang Liao's order, the archers and light crossbowmen immediately rushed to the high platform behind the camp wall. The crossbowman had already put on his crossbow and swallowed in front of him, and the archer also buckled the arrow to the bowstring and stood behind the crossbowman, while the arrow in his hand pointed diagonally to the sky.
Thousands of sharp arrows flashed in an awe-inspiring cold light under the sunlight, and the "click" sound that sounded when the bowstring was tense completely calmed the hearts of the defenders, and the original fear of seeing the strength of Cao's soldiers was also swept away. The sharp arrows that flashed with cold light made the defenders show their sharp fangs too!
Zhang Liao saw that the Cao soldiers of the two phalanxes were getting closer and closer, his pupils shrank, and the right hand that had been held high slashed down fiercely, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ""Boom Blah Blah 11 11 1 1 1 "
Zhang Liao gave an order, and the light crossbowmen used in the camp pulled the trigger together, and the archers also released their hands holding the sharp arrows at the same time. Bow and crossbow arrows are mixed together and shot out at the same time! The bowstring was still vibrating, constantly making a "buzzing" sound, and the bows and crossbow arrows mixed together had already covered the heads of the two phalanxes of Cao Jun!
Bows and arrows poured down from the sky in a rain of arrows, while crossbow arrows struck with a strong wind ahead!
"Puff puff 111111
1lďźiďźrjďźďźďź âŚâŚâ
"Ahh
With the soft sound of gold and iron and the crisp sound of sharp arrows shooting into the flesh and blood, as well as the incessant howl one after another, blood splashed under the rain of arrows, and the killing of the battlefield has begun!
The unfolding of the killing gave a vent to the murderous aura that had long been gathered in mid-air, and the atmosphere that was originally just solemn stimulated all the soldiers of the Cao army at this moment. made the eyes of Sergeant Cao begin to turn red, and there was also a look of madness and murder in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Liao's camp! "Kill, one one, one one, one one, one after the bitter rain, Cao Jun, who had a place to vent his murderous spirit, began to launch a crazy onslaught on Zhang Liao's camp!!
