Chapter 116: Preparing for a Night Attack
Cao Cao's treatment of Cao Zhi is not Cao Ang's concern, anyway, Cao Cao is in control.
No one wants to control Cao Cao, he can play as much as he wants, but Cao Cao is also a sane person and knows the severity.
For Cao Ang, the most important thing at the moment is to lay out in Jiangdong, otherwise even if he becomes a prince, he is also a prince who can be bullied, so it is better to hide and not see people, so as to save his pockets.
This is a world of great contention, and if you don't fight, you will die.
The day after contributing to Cao Cao, Cao Ang calculated the approximate time of Huang Gai's deception.
It's not that he can pinch and calculate, but like Zhuge Liang, pay more attention to the local weather conditions, and ask local people who are familiar with the situation, when will the southeast wind blow......
Not everyone remembers the weather every year, but if you ask too much, some people will remember.
Jia Xu is not an omniscient figure in astronomy and geography like Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang is not so godly.
Cao Ang was not so accurate, but he could deploy his troops to the other side of the river in advance, and the time was compressed to less than two days.
"I asked you to come today to fight against Soochow."
"The requirement is confidential, you two must remember that what is said in this tent must not be passed on!"
Cao Ang summoned Huang Zhong and Wen Ping, two whom he already trusted, and he had to rely on them for this decisive battle.
Huang Zhong immediately said: "Don't worry, the old man's life is Gongzi's!" ”
"The subordinates are guaranteed by the head!"
Wen Ping also expressed his attitude, for them, Cao Ang has the grace of knowing each other.
Huang Zhong has gone from being a general who no one cares about, to now having the opportunity to win the battlefield with top generals, and he is content.
The top first-line generals are destined to go down in history, what else does he want at Huang Zhong's age.
And Wen Ping felt ashamed because of the surrender of Cao Cao, and Cao Ang made him make a lot of military exploits, which is enough to go down in history.
Cao Ang nodded: "Out of this camp, you just have to give orders to the subordinates, and no one is allowed to ask why." ”
"Starting tonight, we will cross the river from downstream, and you will bring your men to assemble on the other side."
"Zhongye, your target is the Chibi enemy camp, and I will go with you then."
"Don't make a noise about this trip, bring enough food rations for five days, do you understand?"
The main force attacking the camp was the troops of Wenpin, and on the night of Huang Gai's fraudulent surrender, there would be no guards in the enemy camp in Chibi.
Zhou Yu's opponent is Cao Cao, can he not attack with the whole army, there will be no defense left in the camp, he will win in one fell swoop!
If this can't be defeated, then Zhou Yu doesn't have to do other delusions, so this is his desperate gamble.
Wen Ping didn't know the details, so he was stunned when he heard it, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
"I'm going to attack the camp with 3,000 men? Childe, the enemy is dozens of times larger than me, how can this win? If I am determined to attack the camp, Childe will not go, this time...... I'm not sure. ”
He didn't know Zhou Yu's strategy, and now even if Zhou Yu is there, only a few people know about it.
Cao Ang smiled: "Don't worry, if I let you go, you will definitely win!" If you see the fire on the river, the enemy camp will definitely be able to take it, and it will be effortless, because Zhou Yu will come out of the nest at that time. ”
"That's the case, then there is no problem with the subordinates."
Wen Ping didn't ask much, if that's the case, he can guarantee to take it.
But if Cao Ang asked him to attack the camp of tens of thousands of people, he would not say that he would not go, and asked Cao Ang not to follow.
So even if he is mortal, he will carry out the order, but he cannot give a guarantee.
Cao Ang smiled: "It's okay to tell you, that night, someone will come to deceive and surrender, and Zhou Yu will take this opportunity to fight a decisive battle." ”
Wen Ping's eyes lit up: "Then I can be prepared?" ”
"Then you can rest assured, they are coming from the river, and they are preparing a fire attack plan."
"Fire attack on the river? No wonder Childe let me see the fire before acting. ”
In fact, this matter is very simple, Zhou Yu went out, and the three thousand people hired by Wen can be taken down casually.
The difficult thing is the timing, Cao Ang said one more sentence: "That night, it must be the southeast wind, you understand?" ”
Wen Ping nodded slowly, no wonder Cao Ang has been asking about the weather in the past two days, it turns out that he knows this.
He didn't ask much, but in fact, he had doubts in his heart, why did he come, and why didn't Cao Cao go to Cao Cao's own elite for such a good meritorious opportunity?
If it's really as Cao Ang said, then this is picking up cheap!
Huang Zhong next to him was anxious: "Childe, what should I do?" ”
If Zhou Yu's whole army is dispatched, then the 3,000 people hired by Wen are enough to take the Chibi camp, and what is the matter with Huang Zhong?
If you don't have such an opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life, but since Cao Ang called Huang Zhong here, it is impossible not to arrange it.
If you just arrange to attack the camp together, the credit will be thinned.
Huang Zhong really wanted to say that he would take down the empty camp with 1,000 people casually, and there was no need for 3,000 people to go.
"Han Sheng, don't worry, you have an important task."
"Childe, what's so difficult about fighting the empty camp, I'm going to deal with them all the way alone?"
"No, your target is not in Chibi."
Cao Ang shook his head, "The pattern can't be too small, Hansheng, do you dare to attack Xiakou at night?" ”
Huang Zhong's eyes widened, this courage is too big, he is still consuming it in Chibi, so he thinks of Xiakou?
But it seems normal to think about it, Zhou Yu has concentrated the main forces in Jiangdong, all of which are in Chibi, and even if Xiakou has troops, there are not many.
"Childe let me go, then Xiakou will definitely take it!"
"No, I didn't let you take it, Hansheng, you take a thousand of your people and deceive the city gate."
"And then, if I don't take Xiakou, what am I going to do?"
"There should be someone in the city, you go in and help me catch it, I want to live!"
Cao Ang's eyes narrowed, according to his previous judgment, that person was right in Xiakou.
If you are here, you will win the jackpot, so that the layout of Jiangdong will be smoother and everything will be solved.
"Don't tell anyone about your purpose, just arrest people, and you can't talk about it with your subordinates."
"Don't reveal the identity of that person, just arrest someone to see me, I should be in the Chibi enemy camp at that time."
"Also, if that person is not in Xiakou, you will take Xiakou, understand?"
Huang Zhong is actually more like taking Xiakou, he doesn't want to arrest anyone, and the credit for winning a city seems to be greater.
But Cao Ang's task is above all else, and it is impossible for a soldier to ignore the task if he wants to fight for merit.
There must be a garrison in Xiakou, but if it was Huang Zhong who went and deceived the city gate at this delicate time......
If the timing is right, it's easy to do, and Huang Zhong's subordinates are a force that Cao Ang has recently cultivated with his heart.
Even the crossbows are all equipped with these thousand people!
"Don't worry, Childe, as long as that person is in Xiakou, I will definitely catch you back!"
"It's just...... Why don't you take the summer mouth? Could it be that the person's identity ......"
That's right, that person's identity is important, it is Wu Hou!
What else does he want from Xiakou, he is the entire Jiangdong!
