Chapter 373: A Desperate Shot
Gan Ning went to war in vain, and returned in a hurry, but Cao Jun couldn't hold out, thinking about countermeasures along the way.
When he returned to the camp, he discussed with Guan Yu: "Such a stalemate is not a long-term solution, why not divide the troops into two ways: a certain is the first team to rob the camp, if the Cao army is on guard, the rear team will come to respond." When General Guan goes again after retreating, he will definitely be able to kill him by surprise. , first go to the camp to rob the camp and ask Cao Jun to think"
Chen Zhi was overjoyed and said: "This plan is wonderful, even if Jia Xu is an old thief, he can't be guarded against." ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Guan Yu: "What does Yun Chang think about this?" ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "I think I can give it a try!" Now the two armies are facing each other, and if they are suspicious of each other and dare not move their troops, they do not know when they will be able to enter the Central Plains. ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Since all the generals think that this plan is feasible, they will follow the plan, General Liao Hua has delivered grain today, and it is enough to guard the camp with me!" ”
It was after the third watch of the night, the moon was faint, the cold wind was howling, and the night of midwinter was silent, and Gan Ning led his troops to the river bank to kill first.
Approaching the camp of Cao's army, he personally stepped forward to investigate, only to see that the enemy patrol team was very small, and the defenders were lax, and they all hid in the arrow tower to avoid the wind.
Seeing this, Gan Ning snorted coldly: "I have heard for a long time that Zhang Liao is good at commanding troops, and there is an old fox like Jia Xu, who is so lax in his defenses, and there is really a deception!" ”
Su Fei said: "Xingba go, be careful." ”
"I will lead the Jinfan Army into the camp, and the virtuous brother will guard the camp gate!" Gan Ning gave an order and led the men and horses straight to the camp to kill.
In front of the camp, the arrow tower was burned with fire arrows, and several people stepped forward to push open the camp gate, and when Cao Jun screamed and beat the drum to warn, Gan Ning had already taken the lead in breaking into the village.
Su Fei led the troops to occupy the gate and sent people to set fire to the surroundings, the winter weather was dry and dry, the night wind blew, and the fire outside the entire south gate was loud, illuminating the sky.
Cao Jun shouted everywhere, the camp was in chaos, Gan Ning successively overturned several camp tents, drove away the fleeing enemy troops, and directly took the big tent of the Chinese army.
was chasing and killing a group of fleeing Cao Jun, when suddenly a general in front of him blocked the way and shouted: "Gan Xingba, you have my plan!" ”
"Zhang Liao, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Gan Ning did not flinch, and galloped forward.
Zhang Liao danced his knife to parry, and the two fought in the camp, at this time the drums in the direction of the river bank were loud, and the ambush soldiers were exhausted, and they outflanked the camp.
Gan Ning fought for twenty times, and seeing that Zhang Liao had no choice but to do so, Cao Jun surrounded and killed again, struggled to force Zhang Liao back, played a short halberd, and led the troops to retreat.
Zhang Liao laughed behind him and chased straight out of the camp gate, Su Fei took the men and horses and retreated, leaving only Cao Jun shouting for firefighting.
Gan Ning retreated to the halfway point, only to see Guan Yu waiting on the road early, the people and horses were standing solemnly, waiting for the battle, and the red light could be faintly seen in the distance.
Guan Yu asked, "What is the situation in Cao Ying?" ”
Gan Ning sneered: "Sure enough, there are ambush soldiers hidden, but I have led them out and burned the south gate. ”
Guan Yu stroked his long hair, nodded and said, "Zhang Wenyuan will hand it over to me!" ”
Half an hour later, the fireworks in Cao Yingzhong went out, and the tranquility was restored again, at this time it was close to the fifth watch, and in the early morning of winter, it became more and more dark, and only the sky was full of stars.
Guan Yu led the troops out again, separated from the Gan Ning soldiers, took revenge from the left and right, and once again entered the Cao army camp.
This time, Cao's army was really well guarded, the east and west gates were closed, and the waist-thick wooden stakes blocked the camp gate, and the soldiers rushed forward in the rain of arrows before the camp gate was opened.
Cao's army resisted hard, and the arrows were fired in the dark night, but they still couldn't stop the two generals from charging at the same time, and they were defeated and retreated, and the battalion was lost again.
The drums in Cao's camp were loud, and the soldiers kept flying to report the military situation, and Jia Xu sat in the tent, only lighting an oil lamp the size of a bean, and he couldn't see the change in his expression clearly.
It wasn't until the defenders announced that Guan Yu and Gan Ning broke through the second line of defense at the same time that Jia Xu raised his head and slowly ordered: "Ignite!" ”
Around the big tent of the Chinese army in Cao Ying, a large fire circle was formed within a radius of more than 100 steps, and the flames were one zhang high, illuminating the entire camp as bright as day.
Gan Ning saw that he was about to enter the camp, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, Zhang Liao used a wall of fire to defend the camp, and he ignored the soldiers on the periphery?
At this time, the Cao army outside was also blocked and could not enter, and fled in all directions, Gan Ning went to the east gate to kill, and saw that Guan Yu also came to meet.
Guan Yu's expression was solemn, he raised his knife and looked at the flames, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao is definitely not a person who is bound by himself, I am afraid there are tricks." ”
"It's not good, go back to the camp!" Gan Ning reacted suddenly and beckoned Guan Yu to retreat.
The cold light in Guan Yu's eyes flickered, and he was calculated by Zhang Liao again, his face became more and more gloomy, and the two led the troops back to the camp in a hurry.
The two of them walked halfway, the sky was dark, and suddenly the ambush soldiers on the side of the road were killed, Gan Ning roared, opened the way in front, and Guan Yu resisted Cao Jun left and right in the rear.
The Cao army overwhelmed the siege, and Zhu Ling laughed on the hillside: "Guan Yunchang, you are waiting for another plan, this time Zhuge Liang will not escape!" ”
Guan Yu snorted lightly, pulled the horse and danced the knife to kill Zhu Ling, along the way Cao Jun fell like a straw, straight up the slope, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves and crashed forward.
Zhu Ling saw that Jia Xu's plan was really successful, Guan Yu relied on his own force and wanted to kill the general, and shouted excitedly: "Release the arrow, release the arrow-"
Guan Yu was shocked, raised his knife to support the ground, barely stood firm, ambushed the soldiers on the slope, shot down with random arrows, and flew towards Guan Yu like locusts.
"Father!"
"Prince!"
Guan Ping and Zhou Cang were shocked, and led the troops to rush to the slope, and Gan Ning saw this in the distance, and also fought hard to kill the Cao army and came to support.
But Guan Yu rode a red rabbit horse, which was extremely fast, and he had already thrown the army away, and the arrows were in front of him, and it was too late to rescue.
Guan Yu struggled to dance his knife to block the arrows, but such a dense rain of arrows could not be avoided at all, and just when he thought that his life was dead, the red rabbit horse jumped up and stopped in front of him with a neigh.
Puff sneering –
A series of piercing sounds sounded, and the red rabbit hissed and twitched, but he didn't give an inch, blocking a round of arrow rain.
At this time, Guan Ping led the troops to rush over desperately, and the Han army fired crossbows in unison, counterattacking the Cao army, and there were screams on the slope.
Zhu Ling saw that Guan Yu was close in front of him, but he failed to kill him, and secretly shouted that it was a pity, so he had to lead his troops to retreat.
Guan Ping and Zhou Cang protected Guan Yu and checked the injuries, and the red rabbit horse finally neighed and slowly fell to the ground, only to see that the arrows on half of the body were like weeds, countless.
"The dog thief is gone!" Gan Ning then came and urged the horse to chase Zhu Ling.
"General Gan stays!" Guan Yu clenched the Qinglong Knife, Danfeng's eyes widened, his long beard was flying, and he said slowly: "Poor Kou Mo chase!" ”
Gan Ning said angrily: "Lao Tzu hates the person who plots to sneak attack the most in his life, if you don't kill this thief, it will be difficult to eliminate this hatred!" ”
Guan Yu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to suppress his anger, took a deep breath and said, "It's important to rescue the camp!" ”
Gan Ning suddenly woke up, saw that Cao Jun had retreated, and walked while beating his horse: "I'll go first, and the prince will come slowly!" ”
Guan Yu closed his eyes to stabilize his mind and commanded: "Lead the horse!" ”
"Father!?" Guan Ping saw that Guan Yu didn't look angry, but became worried.
"A certain is the commander of the three armed forces, and he should focus on the overall situation!" Guan Yu stepped forward with a knife, grabbed a horse and turned over, shouting: "Come with so-and-so!" ”
