Chapter 22: The camp was attacked in the middle of the night
Cao Wuyi grabbed Ah Da and ran out of the tent, Ah Da was so anxious that he shouted twice, but Cao Wu didn't care that she was a woman, and hugged Ah Da out of the tent.
As soon as he came out, Cao Wucai found that the camp had been bombed outside, and people were shouting and walking around.
Of course, the enemy could not have flown over, and near the river, a raging fire was burning and smoke was billowing into the sky.
There have been horns in the Chinese army, captains are riding and shouting in the army, soldiers are looking for their troops, and slowly, the situation has stabilized.
Cao Wu grabbed a person and asked, "Who attacked the camp?"
The man didn't understand at all, but looked at the woman in Cao Wu's arms, his face was surprised.
Cao Wu saw that the situation was not as critical as he imagined, so he let the man go, and asked Ah Da to go back to change his clothes, while he turned over and rode around the camp to avoid being attacked by the rebels.
Ah Da knew the severity, and after a while, he put on it, took out important things, and got on his little white horse.
Cao Wu saw from afar that the "Dangkou General Duting Hou Zhang" was standing in the middle of the camp, and let the surrounding chaos move, Daxu did not move, and his heart was a little at ease.
"Let's go find Wenyuan!"
He pulled the reins and came to the Chinese army with Ah Da.
Zhang Liao stood at the bottom of the big curtain, listening to the reports of the commanders from all over the place.
Zhang Liao's guards recognized Cao Wu and let him in.
When Zhang Liao saw Cao Wu, he still listened to the commander's report before he said: "General don't panic, it was a few thieves who came from the river, poured oil on the fire, and burned some camp tents, and the armies in the camp have stabilized and are counting casualties." ”
In this era, there was no advanced communication equipment, and the banner of the Chinese army, which was several feet tall, was very important, and if the general was there, the general would be there, and the morale of the army would be stabilized, and the generals and colonels of the Quartet would only need to act according to the command of the commander.
But it's easy to say, suddenly attacked, can stabilize the Chinese army, mobilize command, and quickly suppress the chaos, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, really a super-first-class general, this general can be ranked among the sixty-four generals through the ages, and his name is well deserved.
There are two kinds of famous generals, such as Lu Bu Zhang Fei, who immediately rushed in front of the battle, charged into battle, destroyed the city, and was invincible. One person can fight a thousand armies, this is a kind of one.
For example, Zhuge Liang Zhou Yu is not known for his personal bravery, but sits in the Chinese army, encounters the enemy in battle, commands and dispatches, such as arm-to-arm, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles, which is another.
Zhang Liao is good, both can do.
Cao Wu muttered: "It is worthy of Zhang Wenyuan who can make Jiangdong children stop crying!" ”
"What's the cry?"
Zhang Liao didn't hear it clearly, but Ah Da heard it clearly, and silently wrote down this sentence.
Cao Wudao: "Wenyuan, do you know the situation of the rest of the departments?"
Zhang Liao shook his head: "It's not clear, the road general department in front and Zhang Pingdi's department in the back are all on fire, but it seems that the fire at the end of the road general department is bigger." ”
Cao Wu nodded, although Zhang He is not as good as Zhang Liao, but he is also one of the five good generals, at this time, all Xiahou Cao is here, and it can't be revealed, and the official position is still low, but there are still opportunities for highlights in the future.
A night attack, Zhang He has encountered many battles in his life, and he should be fine.
The other ones, not to mention the famous Le Jin and Li Dian in later generations, even Zhu Ling was the general of the Hou General in the Cao Pi Dynasty, he was not worried.
What he is most worried about is the Road Recruitment Department and Feng Kai Department, no way, he doesn't even have a reputation for these two goods, and he is definitely not a famous general.
Seeing Cao Wusi, Zhang Liao said: "When our cavalry gathers, the troops will be divided into two routes, one thousand will follow me to the front to rescue, and one thousand will follow the general to the rear to rescue!" ”
Cao Wuyi is stagnant, this is deliberately leaving the easy ones to himself, and Zhang Liao also has emotional intelligence.
However, at this time, children will choose one side, and adults will choose: not at all!
He still has a heavy responsibility on his body, and it is safest to stay in Zhang Liao's camp.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Ah Da first suppressed his voice and said: "General Zhang, my general has not been recruited, and it is not in accordance with military law to lead the troops, so I am fast, so it is better to go to General Lu's department to check first!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Wu to refuse, and gave a whistle.
Usually the little red horse is fed by Ah Da himself, and as soon as she gives a signal, the little red horse carries Cao Wu and leaves.
In Zhang Liao's eyes, he became the righteous and awe-inspiring general of Beifu, and went to danger as a general, worthy of being the younger brother of the contemporary overlord Cao Cao, and couldn't help but admire Cao Wu's character and courage even more.
After thinking about it for a while, he hurriedly arranged military affairs, hoping to chase Cao Wu as soon as possible.
Here, the duo of Cao A has already walked out of the range of Zhang Liao's camp.
Cao Wubian slapped the traitor Little Red Horse's red buttocks and asked, "Diao Chan, what are you doing!" ”
When the two got along for a long time, Ah Da knew that Cao Wu called her original name, or she called Cao Wu a general, she must be angry.
She said: "The army is unstable, this is the time for you to enhance your prestige, come out at this time, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Cao Wu said helplessly: "I told you a long time ago, brother Cao Apu, why should I brush up the regional prestige?"
Ah Da hated that iron could not become steel, and he rode forward.
Cao Wudao: "And the Road Recruitment Department doesn't know what is going on, go now, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" ”
Ah Da shook his head: "It's okay, let's stay away." ”
Ah Da's little white horse is not as good as Cao Wu's little red horse, but it is also a good horse.
The two of them were fast and soon reached a mound not far from the Lu Zhao Department.
The two rode up the mound on horseback to see the situation of the road recruitment department.
A sea of fire.
First of all, in the Hanshui River, the boats, ships, and boats are all burning, and then on the shore, the nearest tent from the shore is burned red.
The soldiers were running and shouting, and in the confusion they couldn't see where the road was going.
Far from the shore, there are already elite Qingzhou soldiers forming formations one after another, but they are all scattered everywhere, and they are completely unable to form a joint force. As for the original soldiers and horses recruited by the road, they were scattered everywhere.
The generals couldn't find their own soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find the generals, so everyone ran around on the river beach.
Farther away from the river bank, there was also a thousand-strong team of Qingzhou soldiers formed a formation to block there, there was a feather arrow in front of the phalanx, and the corpses of several soldiers, and some soldiers who were caught in the sea of fire ran over, and were immediately shot back by bows and arrows.
Obviously, the captain of this thousand-man team made this decision in order to prevent his team from being scattered by the chaotic soldiers.
If he hadn't seen the battlefield, Cao Wu would definitely feel that this Qingzhou soldier was cold-blooded, but he was also a figure who had experienced the battle array, and he knew that this was the battlefield. If your team is scattered, the outcome will be the same as that of a mindless rout.
The Road Recruitment Department, which was still in high morale during the day, has now bombed the camp except for the thousand-man team, and is frightened by the fire in the middle of the night.
Ah Da frowned and said, "Why is the situation so serious!" ”
Cao Wu shook his head and sighed.
People are not saints and sages, no one can be hard-hearted, it is one thing not to come, and it is another thing to come and see death and not to save, if he has the ability, he still hopes to save it, but in this situation, what can he save?
As he was contemplating his eyebrows and thinking, he saw several torches floating on the river.
It was a series of fast boats coming upstream from where Zhang Liao was.
Through the firelight, you can see the pennants embroidered on the sails, and although they are all small boats, each one is extremely fast.
It was impossible to see how many people were on the ship at night, but Cao Wu suddenly thought of a name.
"Jinfan thief Gan Ning!"
As if to test his idea, someone on the clipper boat on the river laughed.
Another round of arrows came, because it was far from the shore, and it did not hurt many people.
Cao Wu instantly understood that it was Gan Ning's night attack by boat that made a great event.
Cao Wudao: "In fact, the enemy soldiers did not go ashore, and the threat was not great. But these soldiers have already bombed the camp, and they must first stabilize the people. ”
Ah Da stared at the river, and suddenly pointed to the boat: "The big man of the road is on the boat!" ”
Cao Wu looked at it, and sure enough, there was a high flag floating on the boat, because the flagpole was high, but it was not burning.
However, there was a fire in the middle, and Cao Wu and they could see it from the side hills, but the perspective of the garrison on the shore could not be seen at all.
Cao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "You wait here!" ”
With that, he pulled the reins, patted the little red horse on the neck, and bowed his head to her, "It's up to you!" ”
With a "whew", the little red horse galloped down the hill.
At the same time, Cao Wu saw a white light coming from the side, but it was not Ah Da, but Zhang Liao with a white horse and white helmet.
Zhang Liao was still far away, Cao Wulai couldn't say hello, he took the lead, galloped into the road to recruit the camp, the speed did not decrease, and went straight to a sea of fire.
The little red horse screamed rhythmically, all the way through the burning camp.
Everyone in the road recruitment department was in a mess, and no one even thought of stopping him, and only when one person and one horse passed, they saw this lightning-like figure.
The little red horse was as fast as thunder, and with the horsepaw on his foot, he stepped on the fire and came to the shore.
Cao Wu shouted: "Drive!" ”
Accelerating along the way down the hill, the little red horse leaped up from the shore.
There was a wounded soldier lying on the shore, and this scene was clearly seen, and the little red horse and the general on the red horse, like gods, flew up like gods, crossed the distance between the shore and the ship, and smashed into the burning ship.
This scene, until many years later, was still the talk of his life.
The god-like Cao Wu didn't have time to notice if anyone was looking at him, he was roasted hot.
The building boat has done a simple fire prevention, although it is burning, but it has not burned and cannot be settled, Cao Wusi came to Daxu with a horse.
I wanted to pull the big cock out of the fixation, but I couldn't hold it after trying it.
Suddenly, there was a "whew", and there was another loud bang on the boat, and Ah Da's voice came: "Cao Wu, you don't want to die!" ”
As she spoke, she coughed twice and appeared in front of Cao Wu, and even rushed to the boat on horseback.
Cao Wudao: "You don't want to die, how can your horse run like this!" ”
"I'm light!"
Ah Da shook a sentence, and then slapped the horse in front of Cao Wu, and pulled out the big rope with Cao Wu.
The big pile was extremely heavy, and the two of them worked together to pull it up.
Cao Wu inserted Da Xuan into the saddle of the little white horse, and Ah Da jumped on the little red horse.
The two turned back, and there was a sea of fire in front of them, but there was no slope like a hill for them to sprint.
Cao Wu tore up his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose with Ah Da, and said in a muffled voice: "Follow me, let's rush out!" ”
