Chapter 295: Old and Strong
Cheng Pu ordered LΓΌ Meng and Ding Feng to defend the city, and at the time of the third watch, they each divided their troops to attack and disturb the three battalions outside the city to attract the attention of Cao's army.
Since Huang Gai and Chen Wu led the elite soldiers out of the city to rob the camp, directly take the Cao army camp, if the Cao army outside the city came to the rescue, they went out of the city to attack it, and killed the enemy in one go.
If the Cao army outside the city does not move, it can destroy the camp and burn its baggage, and the Cao army can only retreat and wait for the opportunity to send troops.
Lu Meng saw that Cheng Pu had already prepared with both hands, and he didn't seem to have any flaws, although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he could only act according to his orders.
In the middle of the night, the Wu army first feinted to harass the enemy camp, covering the army to leave the city from the south gate and detour to the north.
Cheng Pu specially selected three veterans this time, just to let Lu Meng, the juniors, see how they recovered Jiangdong and laid this foundation back then.
Today's Jiangdong, although stable, is lifeless from top to bottom, only seeking self-preservation and peace, without the slightest enterprising heart, how can there be any blood of Jiangdong's children?
Especially as soon as Zhou Yu fell, it seemed that the sky was falling apart, and the whole army was paralyzed, and he actually wanted a scribe from Lusu to be in charge of the military, could there be no one to lead the army in Jiangdong?
At the fourth watch, the men and horses came to the outside of the Cao army's base camp, and saw that the lights in the village were sparse and the defenders were lazy, so they were really lax.
Cheng Pu was overjoyed, immediately attacked from the front, waved his troops into the camp, heard the sound of drums, and Huang Gai and Chen Wu on the left and right also attacked at the same time, and the Cao army camp was in chaos.
The earth-shattering drums sounded, and in the blink of an eye, a fire broke out in the camp, and the Cao army ran to each other, shouting endlessly, and Cheng Pu took the lead in rushing straight to the camp of the Chinese army.
Under the firelight, seeing that the general hurriedly came out of the tent, wearing an eye patch on his head, and only wearing half a piece of armor, it was Xiahou Dun who was undoubtedly Xiahoudun.
"One-eyed thief, Hugh go!" Cheng Pu shook his spirits and rushed straight towards with a snake spear.
Xiahoudun was about to retreat, and when he heard this shout, he seemed to be enraged, and he roared and slashed with a sword.
The two fought in front of the Chinese army's tent, and the two armies were also fighting, and there was a sound of fighting in Cao's camp, and the fire was soaring into the sky, shining as bright as day.
Cheng Pu entangled Xiahoudun, and there were no worries in his heart, and Huang Gai and Chen Wu responded on both wings, and divided his troops to rush and kill, burning all the grain, grass, and equipment in the camp.
Woowoo woo β
When the battle was in full swing, suddenly a low horn sounded in the night sky, like a muffled thunder coming from the sky, and like a beast slowly awakening.
Cheng Pu was stunned, how could there be other orders at this time, could it be that the besieging Cao army was killed?
But he heard Xiahoudun laugh and said: "Cheng Pu old thief, Zhong's plan!" β
Cheng Pu snorted coldly: "Xiahoudun, you can't escape today." β
The two fought hard for more than ten times, but they didn't see Huang Gai and Chen Wu coming to respond, Cheng Pu suspected in his heart, this trip was an attack on the camp, and Cao Jun should have been killed a long time ago.
"Jiangdong rats, I Xu Chu is here!"
In the direction of Beiying, there was a sudden roar like a cow's roar, and I saw a figure as strong as a hill, killing quickly, and people turned over on their backs wherever they passed.
Chen Wu happened to lead the troops to arrive, stepped forward to stop Xu Chu, only more than ten times, and was killed and retreated, only the power to parry.
When Cheng Pu saw that Cao Jun still had reinforcements, he suddenly felt bad, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing around him, surging from all directions like a wave.
"Chen Wu, retreat!" Cheng Pu exerted all his strength and wanted to force Xiahoudun to retreat.
Xiahou slashed with his sword, entangled Cheng Pu, and shouted: "Old thief, today next year will be your death day!" β
Cheng Pu fought to the death, Huang Gai killed him from the left, only to see that he was covered in blood and had to be scattered, and said loudly: "Demou, there is an ambush in the camp, go quickly!" β
The two veterans struggled to force back Xiahoudun, Huang Gai opened his bow and arrows, and shouted: "Xiahoudun, do you want the other eye?" β
Xiahoudun was about to chase, when he saw Huang Gai stretching his bow, he suddenly felt jealous, since the last time he was shot in the eye by a dark arrow, he had palpitations about the arrow, especially in the dark night.
The two clashed in the chaotic army, only to see that the Cao army outside seemed to be coming from the firelight, endlessly, the defenders in the camp also began to counterattack, and the Wu army was surrounded by the enemy everywhere.
Xu Chu chased after him from behind, dancing the nine-eared and eight-ring elephant trunk knife in his hand, and the piercing sound was like a life-urging talisman, accompanied by bursts of screams, which made people palpitate.
There was no one in the Wu army who could stop Xu Chu, and he was killed by himself, the ironclad army on the left, and the tiger and leopard cavalry on the right, all of which were heavily armed heavy cavalry, rampant, and the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu were defeated.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were killing and leaving, and there was chaos outside the camp, there were Cao troops everywhere, and their own families and horses had already been scattered, and they couldn't organize resistance at all.
The second general rushed out of the encirclement with his guards at the risk of death, and then walked back, and suddenly ambushed the soldiers on the way, and Zhu Ling and Wen Qin led the troops to block the way.
"Hurry up, I'll cut it off!" Cheng Pu was sweating profusely, knowing that Cao Jun had set up a heavy ambush this time, and he was afraid that there would be more than one bad luck, and he didn't want to involve Huang Gai.
"Advance and retreat together!" Huang Gai roared and met Zhu Ling, and Wu Bing fought to the death.
Boom Boom β
At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry also followed, and under the impact of the heavy cavalry, the Wu army was in chaos again, and it was impossible to resist at all.
Cheng Pu saw Chen Wu leading the remnants of the army to arrive, and shouted: "Quickly protect General Huang Lao and retreat, and you must not disobey the order!" β
Chen Wu hesitated slightly, knowing that the situation was urgent, so he immediately joined forces with Huang Gai and broke through the siege the way he came.
Cheng Pu was covered in blood and fell into a desperate situation, and he felt that he no longer had the face to see the generals, so he stopped Cao Jun regardless of life and death, and killed Wen Qin in a hurry.
But at this time, Xiahoudun had already arrived with his troops and shouted: "Cheng Pu old thief, if you surrender at this time, you can avoid death!" β
Cheng Pu laughed sadly and said: "A certain is an old minister of Jiangdong III, how can he be a thief? β
Xu Chu hummed: "The old thief doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, what's the use of keeping him?" β
Cheng Pu roared, urging the horse to take Xiahou Tang directly, Xu Chu slapped the horse first, the big knife swept over, the blade slammed, and with a loud bang, the iron halberd snake spear flew up in the air.
"I can't serve Jiangdong anymore!" Cheng Pu's hands trembled, and he was about to draw his sword and kill himself.
Xu Chu was about to step forward to arrest someone, when suddenly the killing sound on the road shook the sky, and a general shouted: "Look at the arrow!" β
But it was Wu Bing who turned back, and Huang Gai released three arrows in a row on his horse, and shouted: "Demou, don't kill yourself, withdraw quickly!" β
Cheng Pu came back to his senses and saw that it was Ding Feng and Ling Tong who came to the rescue, although he wondered why they came, but he didn't have time to ask in detail at this time, so he hurriedly beat his horse and retreated.
"Jiangdong rats, will they hurt people with secret arrows?" Xiahoudun was furious, and also took out his bow and arrows and shot them.
Since he injured one eye, Xiahoudun's archery skills have increased greatly, and there is no need to aim when he releases the arrow, and when he shoots an arrow, he only hears Cheng Pu snort and has already been hit by the arrow.
Xu Chu was frightened by the arrow, and rushed over with a low roar, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, and Ding Feng joined forces to resist the enemy, and the Wu army caught Cheng Pu and retreated, with bows and arrows in the rear, and the arrows were fired in unison, and he turned around and retreated.
Waiting for the Wu army to retreat, Xiahoudun led the troops to follow and cover the killing, and chased straight to the foot of Shouchun City, only to see the torches Qi Ming on the head of the city, and the Wu army waved the flag and shouted, as if they were going to kill out of the city at any time, and the Cao army outside the city was also on guard, and did not dare to be careless.
The two led the troops to chase straight to the south gate, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, but saw that the city gate had already been guarded by people, and the crossbowmen in the city were waiting for them, so they had to kill the fleeing Wu army for a while and retreat to the camp.
