"Kill!"

"Their camp is broken, rush in."

"Those who break through the camp will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

After the Lei Ding camp was broken, the Cao soldiers went crazy.

Because Cao Zhen has already given a death order, whoever breaks the Han army camp first, the general will be promoted, the soldiers will be rewarded, and even the marquis can be feuded.

Under such favorable conditions, Sergeant Cao was not afraid of death and attacked the gap that Lei Ding had broken.

Lei Ding was also going crazy, he didn't expect that the first to be broken was his own camp, and he had boasted in front of Shen Chen that he would not let Cao Jun enter the camp, and now his face was crackled.

He did not hesitate to personally lead the guards to launch a counterattack, and led the personal guards to form a formation, like an iron wall, desperately filling the gap.

But the Cao army was still coming in, and the defenders on the walls on both sides could barely hold on, they kept stabbing with spears, shooting with bows and arrows, and even throwing out fire oil to cut off the Cao army behind, but to no avail.

Cao Jun is already crazy.

Lei Ding was wounded several times in his body, and when he was about to be defeated and fall, the shadow of the knife flashed in front of him, and a sky-like body appeared in front of him, stopping the knife that attacked him.

Immediately after that, hundreds of elite Han soldiers in the rear rushed over, and with close cooperation, they quickly killed all the surrounding Cao troops, and then rushed to the gap.

"The Grand Governor, the end will be ten thousand deaths!"

Lei Ding covered the wound with one hand, and said apologetically to Shen Chen, who came to help.

Shen Chen patted him on the shoulder, looked at all the minor injuries, and said, "It's okay, you've done your best, go to the back and bandage it a little." ”

"Yui!"

Lei Ding was pulled back by the guards with guilt.

Shen Chen looked around the front after repelling these Cao troops, and there was still a steady stream of Cao soldiers in front of him.

He shouted, and asked the surrounding guards to disperse and crawl over the walls on both sides, closing the gap from the wall, and asking the soldiers behind him to push the vehicles in the camp to the front.

Soon the chariots used to transport supplies were rushing forward, and the Han soldiers stood on the carts and stabbed down condescendingly, while the surrounding arrow towers were also sent with a large number of crossbowmen, whose task was not to clear the Cao army that had broken into the camp, but to aim at the outside of the gap.

Now it was like a hole in the ship, and the water was pouring into the hold. It is definitely not enough to just plug the mouth, and it is necessary to cut off the water source. Therefore, first suppress the Cao army outside so that they dare not come in, and then slowly deal with the Cao army in the camp.

Shen Chen clenched the tiger courage knife in his hand, and several Cao soldiers in front of him surrounded him, he stepped forward sharply with his left step, first dodged a knife, and then slashed the tiger courage knife in his right hand, directly disemboweling a Cao soldier, and then swinging the knife diagonally downward, breaking his neck from the neck of another Cao army.

In an instant, blood splattered, staining his face red, making Shen Chen's whole person as fierce as a demon.

Although his physique is not as exaggerated as Zhang Fei, he is also full of tendons, and he is at the peak of his military generals, but he is in the position of the commander, and he will not easily go to war, so that the world only thinks that he is the commander, but he forgets that he once personally beheaded Cao Jun and does not know how many senior generals.

At this moment, Shen Chen swung left and right, constantly slashing and killing, and the surrounding guards staggered and covered each other, and in a moment they reached the near gap in the camp, and the chariots behind also surrounded and filled the gap.

It was only at this time that Shen Chen turned over beautifully and climbed onto the chariot, picked up a spear, and kept stabbing out, and the surrounding Han troops also climbed on top of the chariot in a steady stream, so that with the help of the chariot, the Han soldiers regained control of the camp.

Later, when the Han army eased up, countless rolling stones, sasswoods, bows and crossbows and arrows were still swayed, defeating the Cao army, which originally wanted to gather to fight for the gap again, and retreated.

Seeing this, Shen Chen said to Lei Ding's lieutenant: "This place has been defended, you continue to defend it, I should go elsewhere to save the dead." ”

"Yui!"

Vice Admiral Lei Ding hurriedly saluted.

Shen Chen was ready to take back his bloodstained tiger guts knife and return to his own camp.

The Han army camps were criss-crossed, and the camps were connected to each other by gates, so he could go directly from the camp in Lei Ding to his own camp.

He had now decided to take on the role of a firefighter, and if the battalions could not hold out, he would have to rush to the aid of him immediately, at least for the time being, to buy time and wait for Pound Madai to win.

But before Shen Chen returned to the headquarters camp, a soldier came to report halfway: "Report, Metropolitan Governor, the middle camp is almost unable to hold it." ”

"Let's go!"

Shen Chen beckoned, and hundreds of guards followed.

"Burn, burn me!"

In the direction of the rear camp of the Han army, the cavalry of the Cao army led by Sun Li and Zhou Sheng had already broken through the rear camp and killed the middle camp.

The middle battalion was guarded by thousands of soldiers, and used the walled walls and bows and crossbows to resist stubbornly.

As Sun Li and Zhou Sheng entered the rear camp of the Han army, the camp where the Han army stored supplies had already burst into a monstrous fire, the fire was raging, and the smoke covered the sky.

Since ancient times, the three battalions of the front, middle and rear camps have to be separated in the normal camp layout, and there is a school field in the middle for soldier training.

So in fact, the fire in the rear camp could not threaten the middle camp, the problem was that their grain and grass materials were stored there, Sun Li obviously did not expect Shen Chen to send people to raid, thinking that burning their grain and grass materials first would break the heart of the Han army.

But he didn't know that the rear camp was almost all food and grass, and the weapons and equipment and bows and crossbows were all placed in the middle camp, but when he rushed to the middle camp, he was shot by the soldiers sent by Shen Chen to defend the whole day.

It's just that the defensive strength of the Han army is still too small, after all, there are more than 10,000 people on Sun Li's side, and they choose to attack in sections, and the rear of Dou Mao's camp is already boastful.

The sun of late April has lifted the veil of spring warmth, revealing its fiery face, spewing out enthusiasm and scorching the earth.

Yan Zhi gasped and leaned against the wall of the middle camp, the knife in his hand was covered in blood, and even there was a scratch on his right shoulder, which was left by another enemy when he was entangled with a Cao army officer.

Fortunately, the knife was dodged by him to the limit, the scratch was not deep, but it only broke the skin, and blood gushed out, but most of the blood on his body was the blood of the enemy, so he could still hold on.

At this time, the rear camp had already fallen, and on the school field between the rear camp and the middle camp, Sergeant Cao was divided into a phalanx and was constantly harassing.

The middle camp is stored with weapons and equipment and other baggage, and there are a large number of tents, which are the places where the Han soldiers sleep, and now there are probably less than 3,000 Han soldiers staying on the wall, they have no backup, there are not too many manpower, about seven or eight camps, each camp is only defended by three or four hundred people.

Even before there were less than 2,000 people, it was Shen Chen who sent Yan Zhi to bring two more thousand people over to defend it, otherwise I am afraid that even the middle camp would have been broken by Cao's army at this time.

At this time, Yan Zhi had just repelled an attack by Cao soldiers, in fact, the reason why they were able to hold out for so long was that the Cao army had no siege equipment at all, not even a ladder, and if they wanted to rush to the wall, they either relied on a ladder or a knife and axe to split the wooden gate and break in.

The Han soldiers above could calmly respond with bows and spears.

But after all, the number of enemies was more than five times theirs, and each battalion had to face a siege of almost 2,000 Cao soldiers, so it was still quite difficult to defend.

At this moment, a series of rapid trumpets suddenly sounded in the distance.

With the sound of the trumpet, two teams of Cao troops in brown leather armor split out of the large phalanx, and marched forward in three rows, the horses' hooves stepping on a long circle of floating dust.

In addition, while moving forward, the ring-headed knife in his hand rhythmically slapped the leather shield protecting his chest, so the team of more than 200 people looked quite majestic.

Yan Zhi, who was resting at the wall, also heard this voice, he raised his head to look at the two teams of people, the deputy general next to him held the blood-soaked upper arm in his left hand, and the steel knife cat in his right hand came over, and glanced at the wall and said, "General, I'm afraid it's not easy to guard." ”

"What are you afraid of, they can't go up the wall at all."

Yan Zhi snorted in his nose, noncommittal to the lieutenant's words, and then asked without looking back, "How many people do you still have in your hands?" ”

The adjutant general licked the blood that flowed to his mouth and said, "There are more than 300 people who can stand up." ”

He was responsible for garrisoning the west side of the camp, and that section of the wall had been attacked by the Cao army before, and the Cao army was not afraid to die by taking a ladder to rush to the wall, and almost did not hold it.

Yan Zhi asked again: "Did the people who went to the front camp to move the rescuers come back?" ”

"I'm back."

The adjutant general spat out the blood in his mouth and said, "General Lei's camp is broken, and the Metropolitan Governor is now bringing people over, so it seems that he can't send anyone." The person who asked for help went to General Deng, who was close to the camp, and General Deng was also very struggling to guard it, and sent more than 100 people to help guard the camp in the west. ”

"Looks like we're on our own for the time being."

Yan Zhi shook his head.

Their total strength was less than 13,000 or 4,000, and Shen Chen had sent about three or four thousand people to Leishou Mountain to set up camp.

Later, when he decided to come to guard himself, he brought 10,000 men with him.

And Cao Zhen's main force was 40,000, Xu Huang sent Xu Shang with about 10,000 cavalry, and Cao Wei's court sent Sun Li with 8,000 cavalry to help, so there were more than 60,000 horses.

Therefore, the troops on Shen Chen's side became very tight, and in the face of Cao Zhen's indiscriminate bombardment, the defensive pressure of the camps everywhere became extremely great.

At this time, the distance to the west near the direction of the Yellow River, away from Yan Zhi and them across the wall of a camp suddenly erupted into a shocking shout, Yan Zhi hurriedly used his hands and feet, climbed to an arrow tower behind the wall next to him to watch.

I saw that the wall in the distance was actually attacked by the Cao army, and the Cao army seemed to be ruthless, and even used a leather shield to resist the rain of arrows, dragging the corpses of the horses, and even deliberately rode the horses over, so that the Han soldiers shot the horses with bows and crossbows, and then carried the horses to the wall as a foot.

This was undoubtedly very crazy, not to mention the weight of the horses, at least several people could lift them, and in the process the Han soldiers could harass them with unscrupulous archery.

Just saying that war horses are scarce resources, so they can be discarded at will, and the other party is really willing to pay for it.

When Yan Zhi saw this scene, he was immediately a little nervous, because there were only about three hundred Han soldiers over there, and the Cao army besieging outside was at least two or three thousand.

The Han army camp is divided into three rows, one row of the front battalion, one row of the middle battalion, and one row of the rear battalion, and there is an open space in the middle of each row.

But this also means that once one of the barracks in any row of the three rows of camps is breached, if the camp gates cannot be controlled in time, the enemy may be killed through the internal passage, so it is obviously extremely dangerous to that side.

"Zhang Zheng."

Yan Zhi shouted to the lieutenant general below: "Bring your people to support you, you can't hold it over there, so you don't need to leave reserves." ”

Adjutant General Zhang Zheng immediately took out a bone whistle from his arms, and ran to his own defensive line while blowing, and the two or three hundred soldiers who had just experienced a bloody battle sitting in the corner of the wall stood up silently, holding the ring-headed knife and began to line up under the command of the officer.

The war has begun to start in the distance, and the fence of the middle camp is not as high as the front camp, it is only three or four feet, about less than three meters high, and it can be climbed by the human body, not to mention that there are things underneath.

Now Sun Li probably regrets why he directly set fire to the Han army's grain and grass before? How good it would be if the carriage carrying grain and grass of the Han army was used as a stepping foot.

But now it was too late to wake up, and groups of soldiers had already begun to climb the fence and become entangled with the Han army.

Soon Zhang Zheng hurriedly led people over to support, and as soon as he left, Yan Zhi's defense became weak, and most of the enemy generals outside noticed this, and immediately ordered to start attacking.

The Cao soldiers began to attack again, Yan Zhi shouted, and the Han soldiers who were resting behind the wall immediately climbed onto the cloud platform and began to continue fighting.

And the two teams of Cao Army soldiers who split out before, when the main force was fighting with the Han army on the wall, they secretly went to the left side of a wall with fewer people, obviously planning to steal chickens.

If Zhang Zheng hadn't left, Yan Zhi would definitely have sent a reserve, but now that there were no reserves, he could only personally run over with more than a dozen people.

Before he could rush over there, Cao Jun had already gone up to the wall.

Not only on his side, but also horizontally for several miles, the fences of several camps have already begun to climb up by Cao Jun, and the entire camp is precarious, and it has reached a critical moment.

Yan Zhi rushed over and fought hard, but he still couldn't stop Cao Jun from climbing up continuously, he slammed the ring head knife in his hand into the stomach of an enemy, knocking the Cao soldier out of the wall, and the next second another steel knife slashed at his back.

Under normal circumstances, a general of his level must be surrounded by personal guards, and it is difficult for someone to sneak attack. However, now the guards are almost all fighting one enemy or four, and everyone in the chaotic army is like a rickety boat, and there is no time to help.

At this moment, Yan Zhi heard a "bang" in his ears, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the sneak attacking Cao Jun behind him had a feather arrow stuck in his neck, and his tail was still swaying gently in the wind.

"The Grand Governor."

He was pleasantly surprised to see a burly man standing about twenty feet away behind him, putting down the bow and crossbow in his hand.

Hundreds of guards behind the man swarmed up, climbed onto the cloud platform and quickly helped them resist the attack of the Cao army.

Shen Chen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Yan Zhi shook his head and said, "The other party has too many people, although we occupy a favorable position, each soldier has to deal with almost seven or eight people, and now there are several camps that are in danger of being breached." ”

"Whistle, Mingjin, retreat to the front camp!"

Shen Chen gave the order without hesitation.

Yan Zhi was shocked: "Metropolitan Governor, the defense of the front camp is already very difficult, if it is attacked again."

"Go and pass on my order: set fire to the camp!"

Shen Chen responded: "The middle camp is full of tents and supplies, bring the bow and crossbow when you leave, you can bring as much as you can, and if you don't want anything else, burn them, I don't believe they can still rush through the sea of fire!" ”

"Yui!"

Yan Zhi immediately understood what Shen Chen meant, and did not hesitate to carry out the military order at the moment.
