Chapter 358: Rising Star
After dark, Liu Zhu and Xiahou Shang discussed: "How sure is the general about robbing the camp tonight?" ”
Dai Ling said: "The Han army came from a long way, must be tired, won several battles in a row, thought that we did not dare to send troops, and wanted to defend the seven-step cliff, at this time, it was just a surprise." ”
Liu Zhu reminded: "That Yan Yan really has some skills, be careful when you go here, and don't attack rashly." ”
Dai Ling had no choice at this time, and said with his fists clenched: "I have a reason, tonight I will lead the troops to rush to the camp first, and the general will answer later." ”
Liu Zhu was moved for a while, and he also wanted to make meritorious service earlier, passing on the horses to prepare, the third watch to cook, and the fourth watch to kill the enemy camp.
Unconsciously it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hung in the sky like a jade plate, Dai Ling led the infantry in front, quietly sneaking in the valley, and there were scouts in front of him.
Close to the mouth of the Qinglongtan Valley, the scouts came to report, the Han army rectified during the day, repaired the camp, Yan Yan had retired in the evening, and returned to defend the tiger jumping cliff.
"God help me!" Dai Ling was overjoyed and led his troops close to the Han army camp.
Looking at it from a distance, sure enough, there was not much firelight, it was sparse, only three teams of soldiers patrolled, and the camp was still the direction where he was deployed, and there was not much change.
Waiting for Liu Zhu to follow with the light horse, he immediately led the troops into the camp in two ways, and he knew all the traps in the trenches and the camp tents in the village, and rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The defenders were unprepared and were killed by Cao's army, and many soldiers ran out of the camp tent, fleeing in surprise.
Dai Ling ordered the fire, led the troops to rush forward to kill, the Han army the day before yesterday, did not have time to put on the armor and fled backwards, Dai Ling's subordinates were extremely relieved, and rushed forward to kill.
The fire on the edge of Qinglong Pond lit up again, people shouted horses neighing, Liu Zhu saw it in the rear, and was afraid that Dai Ling would get the credit alone, so he hurriedly urged the troops to chase after him.
Dai Ling was chasing the Han army, and suddenly the drums in the valley in front of him were loud, and there were ambushes to kill, countless arrows flew out, and the pursuers in front were shot down countless times.
"There's an ambush, stand back!" Dai Ling hurriedly scolded, called the people to stop, and retreated to the village to put out the fire first.
When Liu Zhu rushed to the camp, the Han army had already fled without a trace, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you chase?" ”
Dai Ling looked at the undulating mountains under the shadow of the moon, frowned, and said: "Just now, arrows are shot out of the forest, I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead!" ”
"The defeat of the enemy army is just a bluff of the latter, and the opportunity must not be missed." Liu Zhu saw that Dai Ling had captured the camp, and he was also eager to make meritorious contributions, and led the troops to chase after him.
Rushing through the valley pass, sure enough, no one intercepted, and continued to chase the enemy, beckoning Dai Ling to follow.
Dai Ling hesitated slightly, left 500 troops to fight the fire, sent someone to report to Xiahou Shang, and followed Liu Zhu in return.
The two walked through the valley overnight, and the Han army fled in confusion, without weapons in their hands, and no one stopped them along the way, and chased them to the Tiger Leaping Cliff at dawn.
The deserters in front rushed into the camp from the hillside, and the defenders at the camp gate were still interrogating, huddled together at the camp gate, panicked and noisy.
Liu Zhu saw it on the hillside and said with great joy: "Meritorious service is in front of you, follow me!" ”
The cavalry roared down the slope like a torrent, overwhelming, and rushed into the camp in an instant.
Most of the defenders were still sleeping, and they could hear the shouts of killing, and they hurriedly resisted, but it was too late to stop the morale of the Cao army.
Liu Zhu danced his knife forward, and was suddenly stopped by a general, shouting: "Wait for the thief, dare to sneak attack!" ”
"Haha, Yan Yan Lao'er, today is your death!"
Liu Zhu shook his spirits and urged him to step forward to fight with Yan Yan, and Cao's morale also soared, and they entered the camp from all sides.
At this moment, Dai Ling also led the troops to arrive, and when he saw that Liu Zhu was rushing to kill in the camp, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers to rush to kill the hillside and also come to attack.
"General Yan, let's go!" Zhang Yi saw that the reinforcements were arriving, and he waved his gun to overturn the two Cao soldiers.
Ju Fu also stepped forward to block Liu Zhu, and the two generals protected Yan Yan to fight out of the encirclement, and fled from the front camp.
Liu Zhu was killed, and he had to catch up, Dai Ling hurriedly persuaded: "Capture two camps in one night, a shame before the snow, there are reinforcements in front of the green pine plateau, you can't chase anymore, it's too late." ”
Liu Zhu also took a camp, and saw that the two generals in front of him alternately covered, so he had to regret staying, the two were rectifying the people, and Xiahou Shang also led the troops to arrive, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Xiahou Shang said with a smile: "The two generals are really brave, and they took back the two villages overnight, and countered them with their ways, and this battle was painful." ”
Liu Zhu sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill the old man Yan Yan, otherwise I would have taken the Qingsong Plateau directly." ”
"This battle will boost morale, and it will be enough to fight Yan Yan!" Xiahou Shang was already satisfied, and said with a smile: "Dai joined the army in the whole battle, shame and courage, Dai Ling should be the first to remember!" ”
Dai Ling pleaded guiltily and said: "The last general will lose the Qinglong Pond, wear the sin and make meritorious service, and he has not yet atoned, how dare he receive the merit?" ”
Xiahou Shang laughed and said: "There is no need to worry about joining the army, I don't think Yan Yan is like this, I can recapture Qingsong Plateau immediately." ”
Dai Ling saw that Xiahou was still in person, and he had the intention of entering the army, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Yan Yan knows the art of war, although he was defeated by my surprise attack, he should not underestimate the enemy. ”
Xiahou Shang was displeased when he heard this, and thought that Dai Ling would take all the credit with a word, if you can break the enemy, I can't break the enemy?
"The old thief killed my two brothers, Xia Houde is my own brother, now I take the tiger jumping off the cliff, and I want to take the green pine hill to avenge my brother."
Liu Zhuyan said: "Yan Yan's old thief came from afar, fighting for days, the soldiers are tired, and they have shown their defeat, so they should take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”
Dai Ling persuaded again: "The last general has inquired in the past few days, although Yan Yan is old, he is a famous general in Sichuan, Liu Qi has sent reinforcements to Qingsong Plateau, and the general has been ordered to guard Xiantai. ”
Xiahou Shang said angrily: "Dai joined the army, don't think that you are lucky to win a game, you can point out the military, like you are so cowardly, you can know the defeat of my brother Qingsongyuan, you just guard the tiger jumping cliff and see a certain meritorious service to take revenge." ”
Dai Ling had no choice but to retreat, and Xiahou Shang said to Liu Zhu: "Dai Ling thinks that he has followed the prime minister for two years, and he knows the art of war, but he doesn't know that he is just a frog at the bottom of the well." In the past, he followed the prime minister to discuss Jizhou and conquer Wuhuan, listened to the training and teaching in the morning and evening, and counseled the military aircraft, and many strategies were already familiar with the chest! ”
Liu Zhu praised: "The general is the rising star of the Xiahou clan, and he is deeply respected by the world. ”
Xiahou Shang is good friends with Cao Pi, and he knows that Cao Pi recommended him to follow Xiahou Yuan this time, because he intends to promote himself, and as a cronie to cultivate forces, he naturally wants to perform well.
After resting for an hour, he and Liu Zhu led the troops to attack Qingsong Plateau, Yan Yan retreated into the pass, and did not fight, the morale of the Han army was low, and he could not hold out.
Liu Zhu said: "The old thief is afraid of the general's heroic force and does not dare to fight, so he can only use weapons to attack heavily." ”
Xiahou Shang retreated to the Tiger Leaping Cliff, and Dai Ling dutifully patrolled the camp gate in person, but he thought that he was deliberately mocking himself, but he was unhappy in his heart, so he didn't need to attack by force.
Thinking hard in the tent, he called Liu Zhu and instructed: "Tomorrow you go to fight, but you are defeated and leave, Yan Yan will chase after you, I ambush in the mountains to intercept his way back, you can kill this old thief." ”
