Chapter 46: The cunning Zhao Zilong
Just as Xu He was thinking hard, another military general under him spoke,
"General, I have an idea!"
"Oh? Say it! ”
Xu He's spirits perked up and hurriedly urged.
"General, our army has 30,000 people, and the Cao army on the opposite side is only 3,000 people."
"We could have divided into three teams and took turns to keep vigil."
Xu He's eyes lit up.
That's right.
I have 30,000 people, even if I divide into three teams to keep vigil and take turns to rest, wouldn't it be over?!
Knowing this, why are you chasing Cao Jun today?
What stupidity!
"It's a great plan, just do what you say!"
Xu He finally made up his mind.
He immediately followed the general's advice and divided the men into three teams.
After everything was arranged, Xu He breathed a sigh of relief.
Looks like we can get a good night's rest.
The sky quickly darkened.
Except for the soldiers who were in charge of the first night guard, the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers returned to their camp tents one after another and fell asleep.
After all, they haven't had a good rest since last night.
Xu Heqiang endured his sleepiness, inspected the military camp again, and after repeatedly telling his generals, he also returned to the tent and fell asleep.
The night grew darker.
Not long after the Yellow Turban Army took over the post, some soldiers noticed that there was a figure flickering not far away!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The sentinels immediately beat gongs and drums to warn the camp.
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Zhao Yun no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly,
"Assault of the whole army!"
He led thousands of Cao troops, like a fierce tiger pounced on food, shouting and rushing to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.
Fortunately, Xu He arranged for 10,000 people to hold a vigil.
After hearing the movement, these Yellow Turban soldiers came out to meet the battle.
The two sides fought together in an instant!
Rao is Cao army is well-equipped, and it is led by fierce generals like Zhao Yun, but the number of Yellow Turban troops is too many.
And the Yellow Turban Army, who was resting in the camp, also hurried out to support after being awakened.
After a while, Zhao Yun, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, fell into a bitter battle.
Seeing the failure of the night attack on the Yellow Turban Army camp, Zhao Yun did not love to fight, and hurriedly ordered,
"Withdraw!"
Cao Jun fought and retreated, and after leaving hundreds of corpses, he followed Zhao Yun out of the Yellow Turban Army's camp.
Just when the shouting and killing stopped, Xu He, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, was late.
"What's going on?"
"Back to General Hui, Cao's army has just attacked our army's camp at night. Fortunately, the general ordered three shifts and stopped them in time. ”
A military general laughed and said,
"Our army suffered less than 100 casualties, and more than 200 Cao soldiers were killed!"
"Good!"
Xu He was overjoyed, only to feel that the grievances in his heart in the past two days had been swept away!
Cao Jun on the other side is also cunning enough.
Knowing that we haven't had a good rest in the past few days, we deliberately chose to come to the night attack tonight!
Fortunately, I was prepared!
Xu He looked at the generals and soldiers under him, and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your hard work tonight, the Japanese general will hold a banquet to celebrate you!"
"Thank you, General!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Alright, let's go back and rest."
Xu He stretched his waist and planned to continue to go back to sleep in the tent.
The crowd bowed their hands and then left.
The camp of the Yellow Turbans soon became quiet again.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, after the failure of the Cao Army's night attack and the loss, it should at least stop tonight.
Therefore, whether it was Xu He, or the generals and soldiers below, they all relaxed their vigilance.
Even the sentinels in charge of the vigil began to doze off with their things.
No one noticed at all that in the night, the Cao army that had retreated earlier quietly killed back.
Time passed by a minute, and soon it was about five o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the sky had not yet dawned, and there was only a trace of fish belly white in the distance.
The sentries in charge of the vigil, after a night of vigilance, were all sleepy, and some of them were even asleep.
At this moment, Cao Jun launched an attack!
This time.
Zhao Yun did not make a big fanfare, but quietly led his subordinates and approached the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.
The sentries who were dozing off didn't have time to react, and they were easily killed in their sleep!
After dealing with the vigilant Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yun immediately rushed into the camp with his soldiers like a tide.
They killed the sleeping Yellow Turbans while setting the tents and other debris on fire.
In just a while, a raging fire broke out in the entire Yellow Turban Army camp!
It was only at this time that the Yellow Turban sergeant woke up and rushed out of the tent naked in a panic to see what was happening.
However, what greeted them was Cao Jun's ruthless and sharp weapons!
As the fire grew, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers woke up.
They could see the raging fire and hurried forward to extinguish it.
But how could Zhao Yun let them get their way?
I saw him holding a silver spear of gentian, like a swimming dragon, rushing into the enemy.
Everywhere he went, the blood was surging to the sky, and the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army were all over the field!
Cao Jun also took advantage of the fire to wantonly rush and kill in the Yellow Turban Army camp.
This is when people are most tired.
In addition, the Yellow Turban Army, which had not rested well in the past few days, was sleepy and tired, and it was not Zhao Yun's opponent at all, and they were defeated and retreated.
It was only at this time that Xu He was woken up by his own soldiers.
He hurriedly put on his armor as he walked out.
When I saw the chaotic scene in the camp, I was stupid.
What the is going on?
A military general rushed over,
"General......
"What's wrong?"
Xu He asked loudly.
"Just now, the Cao army took advantage of our unpreparedness and launched another attack......"
"What?!"
Xu He's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Didn't Cao Jun attack the camp once before, and then be repulsed?
Why is the camp coming again?
Listening to the shouts of killing from all sides, Xu He's heart sank.
Could it be that Cao Jun's first attack on the camp was just an illusion, but he was preparing for the second time!
Yes, absolutely!
Zhao Zilong on the other side is so cunning!
Xu He gritted his teeth in anger, and the blood vessels on his forehead were also pounding suddenly.
But angry is angry, he knows in his heart that he still has to hurry up and think about it to clean up the current mess.
Even if Cao's army succeeds in attacking the camp, they will only have 3,000 people to die, as long as they gather the soldiers, they still have hope of turning the tables!
Thinking of this, Xu He said in a deep voice,
"Pass on my military order, immediately retreat to the open space north of the barracks, and reorganize the troops!"
"Whoa!"
Several of the soldiers hurriedly took the order and left.
Xu He was not idle, leading his own soldiers and hurriedly rushing to the north.
The Yellow Turban sergeants he met along the way were all gathered up by him.
In a short time, thousands of people gathered behind Xu He.
Seeing the open space to the north of the camp, not far away, he was overjoyed.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud shout,
"The enemy will leave!"
