129 Night attack on Yuan's camp
Night Raid?
In ancient warfare, the last thing these generals liked was night raids.
In ancient times, night raids were all means that had to be used when the weak defeated the strong.
If there are fewer people and more people, you won't be able to win if you don't make some strange moves.
And now, Cao Ren is 100,000 to 30,000, but he is also going to use the trick of night attack.
Why, ancient generals didn't like night raids?
In ancient times, due to the poor living conditions and lack of nutrients in the body, many people suffered from night blindness.
People with night blindness can't be said to be blind at night! However, this vision is also very blurry.
Most of Cao's soldiers suffered from night blindness.
These soldiers, who suffered from night blindness, had at least a few percent of their combat effectiveness at night.
After Cao Ren said this night attack strategy, Cao Hong also nodded and responded: "For today's plan, we can only win by night attack." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Ren instructed Cao Hong: "You are the vanguard, and I will select soldiers from the whole army who do not have night blindness to fight with you." ”
Cao Hong gave the order: "Big brother, don't worry, if you can't break through this right wing defense line tonight, I will come to see you with my head!" ”
Among the 100,000 troops, Cao Ren selected more than 10,000 soldiers who did not have night blindness and handed them over to Cao Hong's commander.
By evening, Cao Hong and these soldiers were ready, and just waiting for Cao Ren's order, they would launch a fierce attack on Yuan's right flank defense.
Before launching the night attack, Cao Ren had to make some other arrangements.
It's about eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Cao Hong came to Cao Ren and asked, "Big brother, do you want to send troops?" ”
Cao Ren shook his head and said, "No, when the time comes to send troops, I will give you an order." ”
After sending Cao Hong away, Cao Ren sent another team.
What does this team do?
Cao Ren sent it out, this is a gong and drum team.
The gong and drum team came not far in front of the Yuan army's defense line, and then, there was a burst of drums.
Originally, Yuan Jun had already rested in the middle of the night, and after hearing this drum sound, Yuan Jun was frightened.
The soldiers of the Yuan army thought that this was the Cao army attacking, and when they hurriedly put on their armor and picked up their weapons and rushed out, they did not see a single Cao soldier at all.
After beating a drum at the end of the day, when it was time to beat a drum, Cao Ren sent someone to beat a drum again.
This time, Yuan Jun was startled again, and after they got up, they found that Cao Jun had not yet come.
When it was time to arrive, Cao Ren sent someone to beat the drum again.
This time, it was still a bluff and no troops were sent to attack.
Cao Rende's bewildering behavior almost burned Jiang Yiqu's CPU.
Jiang Yiqu felt that this might be Cao Ren's tired strategy, but he was afraid that Cao Ren would really attack.
However, if Cao Ren has been allowed to harass, won't they become frightened birds?
If this continues, and the soldiers don't rest all night, where will they have the spirit to fight tomorrow?
Jiang Yiqu didn't understand it, so he invited his deputy general to discuss.
After listening to Jiang Yiqu's worries, the adjutant general said to him: "Win more with less, and win with surprise." ”
"Win more with less, and win with righteousness."
"General, a night attack is a strange move."
"Since ancient times, there have been many night raids with few troops, where is there a reason why there are many troops and few night raids?"
"If you want me to see it, this is a trick to exhaust the troops, Cao Ren is preparing for tomorrow's general attack! We can't fall for him! ”
After listening to the deputy general's words, Jiang Yiqu felt that what he said was very reasonable.
So, Jiang Yiqu ordered, in addition to scouts, sentinels and patrol troops.
The rest of the soldiers all rested, no matter what sound came from outside, as long as there was no order from Jiang Yiqu, they didn't have to get up.
After this order, the soldiers of the Yuan army immediately took off their armor and went back to rest.
In order to prevent the sound of drums from disturbing their rest, they also plugged their ears with that strip of cloth.
When it's ugly, it's two or three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, just from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, it is also the time when people sleep the deepest.
The soldiers of Yuan Ying, after being tossed in the first half of the night, so they slept very heavily in the second half of the night.
As soon as the ugly time came, Cao Ren sent someone to Cao Hong to give an order, ordering Cao Hong to lead the army to launch a night attack.
Cao Hong pulled out the sword at his waist with a "bang", pointed in the direction of Yuan Ying, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill." ”
"Those who enter the Yuan camp first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. Those who behead Jiang Yiqu will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. ”
As the old saying goes, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
Under the temptation of heavy rewards, these brothers under Cao Hong "howled" and screamed, like wolf cubs.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Cao Hong led more than 10,000 people straight to Yuan's camp.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the horse's mouth was covered with cloth, for fear of making the slightest noise.
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, although Yuan Jun had patrols and bright posts and secret posts.
However, their spirits are also extremely tired.
By the time these sentinels and patrols discovered Cao's army, the men led by Cao Hong were only a hundred meters away from Yuan's defensive line.
The distance of about 100 meters is just a charge distance.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Even if it was discovered, Cao Hong simply stopped hiding his whereabouts and directly led the team to kill him.
Cao Hong took the lead, brandishing the spear in his hand, and wherever he passed along the way, Yuan Jun who stood in the way stabbed him in the stomach.
Seeing this sudden killing of the Cao army soldiers, the front line of Yuan Ying suddenly became a mess.
Although there are generals organizing a counterattack, it is just a mantis arm as a car.
Jiang Yiqu had already gone to bed to rest, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the camp tent, and some soldiers rushed into Jiang Yiqu's camp in a panic and reported to him: "General, something is wrong, the Cao army has attacked our army camp at night!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yiqu was so shocked that he sat up from the bed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, give the order, all the soldiers wear armor and resist the Cao army." ”
After Jiang Yiqu said this, he didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he picked up his big knife and ran towards the outside of the tent.
When he ran out of the camp, he saw that Cao's army had broken through his own defense line and entered the barracks.
Jiang Yiqu's heart suddenly cooled, and he thought, it's over, it's completely over now.
At this time, Cao Hong had already led the leading troops into the Yuan army camp.
Some of the soldiers of the Yuan army rushed out in a panic with weapons and tried to resist, but they were facing the heavily armed soldiers of the Cao army!
The soldiers of the Cao army led by Cao Hong were like a wild beast, rampaging through the Yuan camp.
Everywhere they went, pieces of Yuan soldiers were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to fight back.
