Now it was about just after the ugly time, Diao Dou had already knocked it once, and the lamp oil in the lamp was about to overflow, occasionally dripping on the table.

After rescuing the map from under the oil lamp, she hesitated for a moment and decided to go out for a walk.

It was at this time that Cao Chun quietly approached the sleeping camp.

The camp was built quite standardly, and it was very careful, the soldiers on the arrow tower were not lazy to nap, and under the fire in the camp, there were also soldiers walking around on night patrol.

The camp gate was closed, and two wagons were knocked down in front of the gate, and it was necessary to move the wagons out of the way to attack the camp gate, but this was enough time for the soldiers to wake up and fight back with the officers in charge.

Therefore, if you want to attack such a camp, it is indeed not easy to attack from the camp gate.

But he was better prepared.

The soldiers were already tired, and when the soldiers fought continuously, not only were their bodies endured devastation and stress, but their spirits were also subjected to the most cruel abuse.

Each of them is constantly losing their comrades, not only their comrades, but also their fellow countrymen, kindred, and even their brothers.

Every death of a comrade is a wound, and the spirits of these people are already covered in wounds.

When the sun rose, in front of them stood the radiant and dazzling General Xiao Lu, who could have left those cruel and frequent deaths behind and followed General Xiao Lu wholeheartedly.

But when the sun goes down, when night comes, when they lie on the marching couch, think about the battles they can't finish along the way, think about the fewer and fewer people, think about how many battles they still have to fight?

Cao Chun was a very young general of the Cao family, but the time he spent with Cao Cao was not short at all, and he learned a lot of truths from this.

- For example, the minds of those soldiers become especially fragile when they suddenly wake up in the middle of the night.

"Ready to stop?"

"Yes."

"Northwest corner?"

"That place is soft, and the fence must be unstable," the general beside him whispered, "Lu Lian can't detect it, and her general should also be aware of this." ”

"They are so tired," said Cao Chun, "that they do not perceive, or even if they do, they do not want to make the soldiers go into a big move, and move the whole camp a little." ”

"This is an opportunity from God to make contributions to the general."

Cao Chun's dark eyes stared at the camp fluttering the landing banner for a while, but he didn't show any smug look.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, whether Ming Gong can capture Qingxu in this battle depends on our battle tonight."

"Yes!"

In this long and silent night, nearly a thousand cavalrymen followed behind Cao Chun, each of them carrying a bundle of dry firewood behind them, pouring a lot of tung oil on them, just waiting for a torch to light them.

- Lu Hangyu guessed right, he did want to drain her blood.

Therefore, he waited patiently and waited, and even hid his tiger and leopard horse in the forest dozens of miles away from Lu Lian's soldiers and horses, carefully avoiding all scouts.

He had to wait until the soldiers grew tired of the long and tedious rounds and hard labor of encampment, and then he would be like this tonight.

"Ladies and gentlemen——!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

When Cao Chun picked up his horse lance and rushed from the wasteland a few miles away to the still sleeping camp, the soldiers in the camp unconsciously frowned in their sleep.

They may have sensed the imminence of danger, or perhaps it was just the futile tension that they could not relax after a long period of hard work, but when the shaking of the earth went from light to heavy, from negligible to gradually earth-shaking, the fight was suddenly sounded in a hurry!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Where?!

Where did the enemy come from?!

Some soldiers scrambled to their feet, looked around, and shouted in a frenzy!

Fires everywhere! There are enemies everywhere!

They have reached a desperate situation! They are still on the battlefield! They're going to die! Run!!

I don't know which soldier shouted first, but immediately a new soldier joined the battalion.

One after another, the soldiers began to run in all directions, ignoring the orders of the officers - they could barely see the officers in their eyes anymore! They are single-minded and can only flee, and whoever is in front of them is their enemy!

Fight! Keep fighting! Fight those who stand in their way!

This chaos and Cao Chun's enemy attack immediately mixed up, starting with the fence in the northwest corner of the camp being torn down and the firewood thrown into it, quickly turning into a disaster that swept through the entire camp!

The souls of their comrades are calling them, summoning them to keep fighting, with arms, with teeth, with blades!

And above them, the cavalry with fire and death had already rushed into the camp, and they couldn't wait to use a surprise attack to solve this fierce enemy that had plagued the Yanzhou people for a long time!

Chapter 277

[What's wrong with you?] The Black Blade seemed to remind her, "Why are your thoughts so confused? 】

She stood at the door of the Chinese military tent, the black blade in her hand was already unsheathed, there was a fire in the distance, and the soldiers near were running around, busy, but not flustered.

The 6,000 men did not live directly in a large village, but within the fence and the ditch, there were six small camps, separated by fences, to help each other and help each other.

Her middle camp was in the middle, the strongest, and the safest, so Cao Chun, who was busy setting fire to the periphery and causing chaos, did not immediately rush in front of her.

He was a very cautious man, she thought, and the young man knew that the beauty of night fighting lay in bluffing, causing the enemy to panic and kill each other.

As soon as his cavalry stormed the camp, he was busy with such tasks. They threw firewood poured with tung oil into the camps, causing fires, and then took the opportunity to rush in, scattering the soldiers who had not yet been assembled, and then attacking the next barracks.

But at this stage, the damage they can do is still very small.

Because the cavalry was naturally not good at fighting in cramped places, they could not carefully harvest the soldiers of each camp, and could only hope that these soldiers would either escape from the camp or kill themselves.

After thinking clearly about Cao Chun's course of action, Lu Hangyu also thought out the response plan accordingly.

But she still stood at the door of the Chinese military tent, silently looking at the noisy night sky.

In this moment, she seemed to be separated into two people.

"General? Checkmate! ”

As soon as she turned her face, she almost turned her head on her head.

Xu Shu, who was dressed in a light gray muslin shirt, rushed out with a bare head and a sword!

"There is an enemy night attack, and the soldiers of the Yin battalion are unstable, as if they have led the battalion to roar, general! It needs to be dealt with in time! ”

“…… I know. ”

What to do with the soldiers of the battalion?

If it was an ordinary march, she could make the other soldiers withdraw temporarily, and then select some elite soldiers, led by herself, rush in with sticks, knock them on the ground, and tie them up one by one, and at dawn the next day, these soldiers were beaten and their minds were clear, and they could wilt and beat a dozen sticks in accordance with military law, and then lie down for a few days to remember and teach a lesson.

However, this camp roar was caused by an enemy attack, in addition to these soldiers, she also needed to organize manpower to repel Cao Chun, which was a top priority, and she could not delay for a moment.

But if left unchecked, the chaos will gradually spread by the roaring soldiers, and the night, the smoke, the fire, and the enemy attack will irritate them, and their madness will not stop until it spreads to the other camps, swallowing all the soldiers and horses under her command into the maws of the abyss.

Even the most sane part of them would flee from the camp and hurry into the night, and by the time they tried to gather the remnants the next day, there was not a single one left, and they could no longer pull the team.

- This is Cao Chun's mind.

She was thus torn apart into two people.

Coach Lu Lian knew very well what to do now - she should send a team to surround and kill the soldiers who were making loud noises, running in all directions, and even attacking their comrades, and she couldn't waste any time on her own, she had to immediately start organizing soldiers battalion after camp to start fighting back, as long as they were organized, she would definitely be able to drive Cao Chun out.

But Lu Xuanyu was thinking about something else—those soldiers were not just soldiers, she knew every single one of them.

She knew their names, where they came from, whose wives they married, and how many children they had.

They followed behind her, and when they left Qingzhou, they were wearing brand new clothes, and they would show off to each other how delicate their wives' needlework was, how crispy and delicious the dried vegetables were, and how smart and lovely the children at home were, how many words they had learned, and how many books they had read. Oh, yes, if you can send an envoy in the county government in the future, it will be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

After a long time, they will further show off and compete, after this battle, who will cut down a few enemies? How much was the reward? Since the captain of their account can afford to hire field guests, I am also a captain, am I worse than him?

But after a long time, those show-offs slowly became unspeakable.

What does a wife look like? Has the child grown taller? Those vague thoughts turned into vague faces, covered by the sea of corpses and blood along the way.

So there were no more recruits full of illusions, only Lao Ge, who stood on a high place and looked north in his leisure time when he was encamped.

"Look again, over the chestnut grove, farther away, farther away, look at it again," they gestured, "and there—there—do you see it?" ”

If you look farther away, you can see home.

They don't have to look at it every day, she thought, because they're almost home.

"Where is Tai Shi Ci?" She turned her head and looked at her own soldier.

Several soldiers ran away to inquire, and in a moment they brought back a message.

"General Ziyi is gathering the crossbow battalion! Does the general have orders? ”

"Very well, let him take the crossbowmen...... "she paused, "and ordered him to take the crossbowmen to deal with the rebels in the Yin camp." ”

“…… Be! ”

Xu Shu stood beside her, watching the young coach's every move with concern.

The light of the fire, bright and dark, flickered on her pale face, illuminating her expression unpredictably.

She seemed to hide a soft, almost weak thought in her heart, which must have been quite out of proportion to the current situation, so that whenever she thought of it, the two faint eyebrows would be gently stretched, but the eyes would hide a bottomless pain.

But that thought was eventually rejected by her—the thought that had kept in mind so many soldiers who had returned home, as if a flash of fire, not only set the tents on fire, but also burned away the gentle thought.

As soon as the wind blew, the embers dispersed.

When she turned her face to look at him, those eyes had become dark and cold, and only the cold light of fire reflected in them, and there was no trace of waves.

"General......" Xu Shu hesitated, "Those soldiers ......"

"I am not qualified to save them," she said so calmly, "and if I save them, I will abandon the other battalions of soldiers, and abandon the lord and his subordinates." ”

Lu Lian glanced at the sword in his hand, seemed to have a slight smile between the corners of his lips, turned his head, and looked at the soldier.

"Drumming," she said, "the Chinese army camp is in front, and the flag bearers are behind, follow me out of the camp to kill the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"
