Chapter 297: Xu Chu seizes the camp

Yu Ban was half dead in the camp, but Xu Chu is very happy now.

As early as when the rain stopped, Xu Chu planned to go to Yu Ban and let Yu Ban send troops to continue to attack Guan Yu, and he was the vanguard, so he must make this immortal achievement.

But when he got close to Yu Ban's tent, he saw Zhu Ling, who had been ordered out.

Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and asked what Zhu Ling's military order was.

Zhu Ling didn't want to offend Xu Chu, after all, his current situation was not good, so he lay flat and pulled down.

So he told Xu Chu about Yu Ban's military order.

As a result, Xu Chu didn't say a word, took Zhu Ling's military order, and personally went to the camp to order 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, a full 5,000 people, to Guan Yu's camp.

Of course, Xu Chu didn't go to visit the camp, he went to attack Guan Yu's camp.

Although this cargo does not know much about military command, he knows that cavalry alone is not suitable for attacking the camp, and he also knows that he can bring 2,000 foot soldiers.

But when he led the troops to the vicinity of Guan Yu's camp, he was stunned to find it. Guan Yu is moving.

To be correct, this is Guan Yu moving the camp.

Guan Yu's camp was boiling and shouting, feeling that most of the sergeants had been evacuated, leaving only some troops with heavy logistics still carrying some grain, grass and baggage.

When Xu Chu saw this situation, he was immediately anxious.

If Guan Yu runs away, won't his credit be gone?!

Xu Chu is not sure now whether Guan Yu will set up another camp or retire by boat.

If it is just another camp, then Xu Chu still has the opportunity to establish immortality, but if he runs away by boat, then Xu Chu's credit will be gone.

Therefore, Xu Chu moved his little brain a little at this time, and decided to launch an attack on Guan Yu's camp in time.

Even if Guan Yu escaped, then he captured his camp and captured some Guan Yu soldiers, and afterwards, this reputation for repelling Guan Yu was also his Xu Chu, and he couldn't run.

As for whether this camp is fraudulent, whether it will be ambushed by Guan Yu This is forbidden and a strategic general like Zhu Ling will consider it, Xu Chu really won't think about it so much.

Just go up recklessly.

Xu Chu immediately let the cavalry attack, and the infantry followed.

And the baggage soldiers in this camp, as soon as they saw Xu Chu attacking, they did not immediately scatter and flee, but closed the gate of the village in reverse and guarded the village.

On both sides of the 5,000 soldiers led by Xu Chu, there were indeed two armies, each with about 3,000 people, and the word "Zhang" was written on the flags of the leading generals.

On the left is Zhang Wei, and on the right is Zhang Xi.

The second master personally played the game, using his reputation to stimulate Xu Chu to advance and provoke the contradiction between Yu Ban and Xu Chu, so Zhang Xi couldn't care too much about his reputation.

Therefore, he and Zhang Wei, one left and one right, set up an ambush, and also came to "deceive".

Moreover, fraud is also very technical.

You see, the second master suppressed Yu Ban under the danger of being attacked by Xu Chu against the Chinese army, and did not withdraw his troops until Yu Ban was about to be unbearable, which could not only give Xu Chu the illusion that he was "about to make meritorious contributions", but also would not let his soldiers suffer too many casualties.

Now, Zhang Xi sent troops to "deceive defeat", and he also planned to use the same routine.

Zhang Wei was responsible for attracting the attention of Xu Chu's cavalry, using spear arrays and shields to capture the enemy, while Zhang Xi led the troops on the other side to encircle and suppress the 2,000 foot soldiers brought by Xu Chu.

If other generals led the troops, Zhang Xi really didn't dare to play like this, after all, the strength was not an advantage, and the other party still had 3,000 cavalry, so if it wasn't good, it would not be a deception, but it was really defeated.

But so be it. The person who led the troops was Xu Chu.

Xu Chu, after several observations, Guan Yu and Zhang Xi can be sure that this person has no talent to lead troops in battle except for recklessness.

So dealing with Xu Chu is actually very simple, as long as he finds someone to attract Xu Chu's attention, he will take the lead in attacking, and once Xu Chu starts to attack, there is no discipline, it is all up to the sergeants to play freely.

Therefore, to deal with Xu Chu, as long as Xu Chu's first few impacts are blocked, and when the cavalry formation behind is scattered, Xu Chu will not have the concept of regathering the formation, and such cavalry will not have any threat.

As for the infantry led by Xu Chu. That's better to solve.

Xu Chu ran back and forth with the cavalry, and he was not authorized to give it to the lieutenant colonel, how could the lieutenant command two thousand people to fight together?!

Besides, even if there is authorization, Zhang Xi is not afraid.

The 3,000 people brought out by Zhang Xi this time were elite soldiers who were skilled in the mandarin duck formation, and changed the wolf lance into a spear, and the long knife was replaced with a Miao knife, and the strength was still superior. Let's put it this way, even if the commander of the two thousand infantry is Xiahou Yuan now, Zhang Xi will not be intimidated, let alone the captain.

Therefore, Zhang Xi successfully defeated the infantry brought by Xu Chu, and the three thousand cavalry led by Xu Chu himself rushed to the messy formation, but still did not break through Zhang Wei's shield formation.

Despite this, Zhang Wei's own losses were also there, which were basically caused by Xu Chu's cavalry in the first few charges, after all, the cavalry formation led by Xu Chu was still relatively complete at that time, causing four or five hundred casualties to Zhang Wei.

But after that, not to mention Zhang Wei, he was an ordinary soldier, and he was already very handy at dealing with this group of cavalry with scattered formations and greatly reduced offensive impact.

This caused Xu Chu to be a little anxious now.

Because the current development of the battlefield is a little different from what he thought.

In Xu Chu's strategic concept, he led the cavalry to attack a group of infantry, which should be broken in one rush, and then he could pursue and kill the rout.

And his own infantry should be able to defeat another team of infantry at this time, occupy the camp left by Guan Yu, and achieve such a great achievement as capturing the village.

After all, Cao Jun dominates the world, except for suffering a little loss on the water, it has always been synonymous with strong combat effectiveness.

Even in the Battle of Chibi, Xu Chu listened to Cao Cao's chatter a lot, and really thought that Cao Jun burned the ship and retreated because of the plague, and was not defeated by Zhou Yu.

Therefore, in Xu Chu's mind, Cao Jun's operation of fighting the armies of other princes is probably similar to - frame, Ping A passed, and then played GG on the opposite side.

But now, not only did the cavalry he led fail to defeat the same number of foot soldiers, but his own foot soldiers were even scattered. Xu Chu didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, although Xu Chu didn't know how to let the cavalry form a formation, he knew that the important thing for the cavalry was speed, so he didn't stop, seeing that his foot soldiers were about to be chased and killed, he quickly took a dozen horse soldiers who were still by his side and went over to rescue the foot soldiers.

Seriously, for a moment, Zhang Xi pondered, or simply leave this guy with a messy brain behind.

How could anyone come running with a dozen cavalry to face thousands of foot soldiers, and the crossbowmen in our army are vegetarians?!

But Zhang Xi quickly gave up this tempting idea.

With the level that Xu Chu showed, killing him helped Yu Ban a lot. The really difficult person is Yu Ban, not Xu Chu.

Besides, this Xu Chu is still very useful.

Therefore, when Zhang Xi saw Xu Chu coming to the rescue, he asked people to defend with shield pikemen on the one hand, and ordered the soldiers to give up chasing and killing Cao Jun's foot soldiers and gather the formation.

After that, he picked up Zhang Wei to break away from the battle and slowly retreated.

The grain and grass baggage team in the big camp had already retreated during the battle, and now this big camp is an empty camp, and there is still a little bit of banner and drum equipment left behind, and these things are all deliberately left behind, and the "trophies" prepared for Xu Chu.

At this time, Xu Chu finally had a little brain and combat experience, and he did not pursue it in a vague way, but first sent people to gather his troops and organize the team.

Then, when Zhang Xi led the army to retreat, Xu Chu looked at the empty camp in front of him, and he hesitated a little for the first time.

These Jingzhou troops, from the battle to the present, are becoming more and more difficult. Could it be that it's really like what Yu Ban said, what kind of conspiracy is this?!

But with Xu Chu's brain, he thought about it for a long time, but he never came up with any conspiracy and trickery in an empty camp.

Therefore, Xu Chu still chose to enter Guan Yu's empty camp, occupied this camp, and then sent someone to report to Yu Ban, saying that he had defeated the Jingzhou army and occupied Guan Yu's camp, so that Yu Ban would hurry up to respond.

This time, Xu Chu really didn't mean to be arrogant, he just said that he defeated the Jingzhou army, although he occupied Guan Yu's camp, but he was afraid that he would not be able to support it alone, so he asked Yu Ban to at least send someone to pick him up, otherwise he couldn't defend this camp alone.

But the herald returned to Yu Ban's side, and Yu Ban listened to it, this Xu Chu came to show off and ridicule himself.

Originally, Yu Ban was still angry, thinking about how to investigate Xu Chu's unauthorized seizure of military power, but Xu Chu reported back, saying that he had defeated Guan Yu and occupied Guan Yu's camp.

This news made Yu Ban laugh angrily.

You?! Just you?!

Just a guard, defeated the world-famous general Guan Yu and captured Guan Yu's camp?!

This is the funniest joke that Yu Ban has heard this year.

But. This is Xu Chu, the brainless Xu Chu.

Xu Chu's character would not do such a thing of lying about the military situation and taking credit, so what Xu Chu said is most likely true.

But if this was really Yu Ban, he panicked, and hurriedly ordered thousands of men and horses, mainly cavalry, and quickly rushed to Guan Yu's camp.

In Yu Ban's view, with Xu Chu's ability, it is impossible to defeat Guan Yu and capture Guan Yu's camp, there is only one possibility in this situation, that is, Guan Yu used the camp to set up an ambush and prepare to encircle and annihilate Xu Chu.

Not to mention that Xu Chu brought 5,000 people and occupied one-sixth of the entire army, it is said that Xu Chu must not die on the battlefield.

The front foot only pleaded guilty to the king of Wei, and said the contradiction between himself and Xu Chu, and he was still waiting for the king of Wei to reply to the letter, and Xu Chu died on the battlefield on the back foot, so what does the king of Wei think? !

Therefore, even if he didn't like it anymore, Yu Ban could only order Zhu Ling to stay in the walled city, and he led thousands of cavalry to rush to the rescue.

And when he rushed to Guan Yu's camp in a hurry, he didn't see Xu Chu being besieged.

On the contrary, the original camp of Guan Yu had indeed been planted with the banner of the Wei army.

Yu Ban was puzzled for a while, and after leading the sergeant into the camp, he saw Xu Chu alone, sitting on the main seat of the Chinese military tent with a big grin, and looked at Yu Ban in a daze.

Seeing Yu Ban enter the camp, not only did he not say anything, but he also put on a sneering expression.

Yu Ban's face was ugly again.
