Chapter 664: Confrontation in the Night

Cao Ren looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered, "Kanghu!"

"In!"

Kang Hu stepped forward and saluted with his fists..Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ .

Kang Hu was born burly and strong, and he is a typical northland man.

His hands are slender, and the palms of his hands are covered with calluses, all of which are traces left by his daily martial arts practice.

Cao Ren said: "You led a hundred soldiers to rush out and kill directly at the Chu army camp." At the same time, all the clay pots prepared for you were put on your back, and when you arrived at the 'gate' of the Chu army camp, you threw the clay pots into the Chu army camp. ”

Kang Hu said: "The last general understands!"

Cao Ren nodded, and shouted again: "Jiang Yi!"

"In!"

Jiang Yi clasped his fists and saluted.

Jiang Yi is thinner than Kang Hu, he is not so strong, but he is more 'lean' and thin.

What Jiang Yi is best at is actually archery.

Cao Ren commanded: "You bring ten archers and follow behind Kang Hu." When Kang Hu throws the clay pot into the camp of the Chu army, you are ready to release the arrows. ”

Jiang Yi said: "I understand my humble duties!"

Cao Ren commanded, "Let's act." ”

"Whoa!"

Kang Hu and Jiang Yi each prepared with their soldiers.

Cao Ren ordered: "Beat the drum!"

At this order, the sound of war drums was once again remembered in the woods.

The war drums sounded, and in the Chu army camp, the Chu soldiers were not nervous because of the previous situation, and their faces looked even more relaxed.

The patrol is still on patrol.

The rest is still resting.

And on the watchtower at the 'gate' of the camp, the soldiers on guard were also bored and staring outside.

The first two war drums sounded, they all stared outside, but they never saw the enemy soldiers come out, so this time, they were not nervous.

Suddenly, a soldier's eyes widened and he saw someone heading towards the camp.

"Enemy attack, be on alert!"

"Enemy attack, be on alert!"

The soldier on guard shouted, and just as he shouted twice, a bow and arrow 'fired', and with a thud it hit the soldier in the heart.

Blood splattered, and the soldier fell straight down.

This move made the soldiers in the camp nervous.

The soldiers quickly assembled, and Wei Yan also quickly reorganized the soldiers to prepare for battle.

Wei Yan looked up, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw the soldiers of the Cao Army who were rapidly killing.

However, Wei Yan glanced at it and found that the number of people on the other side was not large.

Wei Yan ordered: "Crossbowmen, prepare!"

At the sound of an order, one by one the crossbowmen stepped forward.

The bows and crossbows used by the soldiers of the Chu army were all modified by Huang Yueying, which not only had a longer range, but also had a greater power.

A group of twenty crossbowmen immediately loaded their crossbow bolts and aimed them outside.

"Whoa!"

The crossbow bolts were shot out and went straight out of the camp.

After a round of crossbow arrows was fired, the crossbowmen in the second row took over and 'shot' again.

Kang Hu led a hundred soldiers to 'approach' with clay pots on their backs, but when they were still about twenty zhang away from the Chu army's camp, the crossbow arrows had already whizzed, and they 'shot' into the soldiers' bodies.

On the spot, more than a dozen people died.

Kang Hu was also almost 'shot' by a bow and arrow.

When Kang Hu dodged the first wave, the second wave of crossbow arrows was immediately shot.

"Come back!"

Kang Hu's face was solemn, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Crossbow arrows are not as fast as bows and arrows, and crossbow arrows are faster and are 'shot' in a straight line, which is more lethal.

A crossbow bolt is enough to even 'shoot' through a soldier's body.

Kang Hu rushed forward with the soldiers for less than ten steps, and a third of the soldiers around him died.

If we continue to rush forward, the casualties may be even greater.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, Kang Hu knew that it was impossible to complete Cao Ren's task, and directly gave the order to retreat. He turned around and retreated, and soon joined Jiang Yi.

Kang Hu said: "The Chu army has already been prepared, and there are crossbowmen to guard against it, and our few soldiers can't rush in. ”

Jiang Yi saw the situation ahead, and he was also helpless, and retreated with Kang Hu.

Wei Yan stood in the camp, looked at the retreating Cao soldiers, sneered twice, and then ordered the crossbowmen to retreat, and ordered the soldiers to patrol separately.

Cao Jun sent more than 100 people to attack, which is really too few.

Wei Yan didn't look at it, so he left again.

Kang Hu and Jiang Yi returned to the woods, Kang Hu gasped for breath and said, "General, the last general is incompetent, please punish the general." ”

failed to complete the task, Kang Hu felt very guilty in his heart.

Cao Ren stretched out his hand and patted Kang Hu's shoulder and said, "That's it, I didn't expect the other party to have such a means." The Chu army used crossbowmen to defend, and with our little strength, we really can't let the Chu army's camp 'riot' and 'chaos'. ”

Kang Hu said: "General, what should we do next?"

Cao Ren said: "Let's still attack honestly, every once in a while, we will keep beating the drums, so that Liu Xiu's soldiers can't rest." Anyway, we mainly attracted the attention of the other party, so that Liu Xiu mistakenly thought that we were deliberately harassing and did not let them sleep. In this way, it is also beneficial for the withdrawal of the Wei king's troops. ”

Kang Hu nodded, and then he went to check on the wounded soldier.

Some of the soldiers died on the battlefield after the previous crossbow bolt 'fire', while some of the soldiers were wounded and fled.

These soldiers also have to be bandaged.

Kang Hu did simple treatment for the soldiers, and this time he was busy, and it was already in the second half of the night.

Wei Yan went to rest, and Zhang Ren stayed in the middle of the night.

However, after Zhang Ren made an inspection, he arranged for the generals to patrol the night, and he returned to the camp to handle official business. He just doesn't rest, making sure he can respond at any time, and he doesn't need to stay at the 'gate' of the camp all the time.

This night, the drums of war often sounded, but there was no Cao army soldiers to kill.

Zhang Ren was also used to it, thinking that this was a trick by the other party to harass him.

Time passed, the clear qi rose, the turbid qi fell, and in the eastern sky, a touch of fish belly white appeared.

The weather in August is very early in the morning.

Zhang Ren saw that it was dawn, worried that there would be an attack at this time, and asked the soldiers to be on guard, and then went to the back camp to watch the soldiers in the room prepare breakfast.

When breakfast was ready, the soldiers all began to get up.

After some morning exercise, I started to eat breakfast.

After the soldiers of the Chu army got up, and Cao Ren and others in the woods, it was difficult for them to hide anymore.

Because the light is transparent, once the war drums are beaten, their position will be exposed, especially when it is no longer in the dark, and the other party can tell whether there is an ambush or not, so Cao Ren saw the opportunity to retreat.

Cao Ren's retreat was extremely fast, and he began to chase after Cao 'Cao'.

Last night, Cao 'Cao' had already withdrawn his troops.

Cao Ren was separated by a night, and he still needed a certain amount of time to catch up.

In the daytime, Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren and others were busy again.

At the same time, the scouts were sent out to find out the news.

It was only at noon that the scouts noticed the abnormality of Cao's camp, because they did not see the smoke of people burying pots and cooking on fires, and only a few soldiers patrolling.

In the morning, I saw a few soldiers patrolling, probably Cao Jun in the camp.

By noon, it was a little strange that there was no one in sight.

After some investigation, the scout determined that Cao's army had retreated, and then quickly returned to the camp to report the news.
