Although Huang Gai issued a harsh order, "Those who disobey military orders, kill!!!"

The soldiers and horses under Sun Jian’s command are not riots. But this does not mean that the rest of the soldiers and horses are not riots.

For example, the soldiers and horses that Yuan Shu gave to Sun Jian, such as Cao Cao's soldiers. The soldiers and horses of these two people were all new recruits. Although they followed Sun Jian to charge in battle this time and gained a lot of experience, they were still not enough.

Moreover, all the arrow letters that fell into the camp were handed over, but they could still seal their mouths? Not long after, the soldiers in Sun Jian's military camp spread word by word.

There is shortage of food in the army.

There are still rumors.

Sun Jian has been away for three days and has not shown up. Generally, Sun Jian will show up every day. It was nothing, but after being interrupted by Zhang Xiu's letter, the soldiers naturally thought of it.

So there were rumors in the army and they were flying all over the sky.

"General Sun went out of the camp and went south to meet the Later General Yuan Gong, and asked for food."

Although it is a rumor, it is surprisingly accurate.

On the other hand, Cao Cao knew about this matter immediately. He immediately ordered all civil and military personnel to gather in the central army's tent.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family were sitting on the right, while Sun Jian's main general Zhu Zhi, the subordinates Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu and others sat on the left.

Although the two sides are clearly distinguished, you didn’t know me, and I didn’t know you either.

But they all share the same hatred of the enemy and sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in order to support the Han Dynasty.

After the generals sat together, they were all talking. The generals had a loud voice, which made Cao Cao feel a headache.

Of course, Cao Cao was also in a panic.

He was worthy of letting him lead the troops. But he lacked prestige. Now the general in the army is Sun Jian, but Sun Jian went to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu.

Just three days after Sun Jian left, Zhang Xiu ejaculated such a letter...

Cao Cao sat in Sun Jian's position, holding an arrow letter in his hand. Suddenly he shivered and looked up and said, "Everyone, that Zhang Xiu is a human, not a ghost. That night, General Sun left quietly, and only a few people knew about our army's shortage of food."

"General Cao said there was an insider?" Zhu Zhi asked gently, touching his beard.

Cao Cao nodded, looked around at the generals, and said, "I believe that everyone present is all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. But the rest of the military officers and various minor officials have to be guarded against."

"We should order a thorough investigation immediately. But since this matter has been exposed, it doesn't matter whether there is a spy to inform us. What I am more worried about now is that this is Zhang Xiu's plan."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face showed a look of worry, which made the people present feel heartbroken.

They may not be as smart as Cao Cao, but they are not ordinary generals. After listening to Cao Cao's words, they immediately listen to the sound of the piano and know the meaning of elegance.

"Meng De said that Zhang Xiu used a strategy to send someone to disagree with Yuan Shu and us?" Wei Zi asked.

All the civil and military officials present changed their faces, "Is this Zhang Xiu's plan?"

If it is true, now that Zhang Xiu has succeeded, then he will be a fool who knows what Zhang Xiu is going to do.

"Yuan Shu is a narrow-minded person, so he can take advantage of the opportunity. If I were Zhang Xiu, I would also use the plan of divisiveness." Cao Cao smiled bitterly and nodded.

The civil and military men were in a worse mood, and then they looked at each other. Cao Ren stood up and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De. Since that's the case, Zhang Xiu may be coming to attack my camp. General Sun's army is not here. We really have no way to resist. Why don't we withdraw our troops overnight and return to Taigu Pass to defend?"

Cao Ren is also a general, but he is really young and has no experience. When he meets a famous general like Zhang Xiu, he is quite confident.

"If I were Zhang Xiu, I would have sent spies to monitor us day and night. If we were to guard the camp and wait for Wentai (Sun Jian) ​​to come back, there would be some potential. If we retreated overnight, we would probably be intercepted by Zhang Xiu on the way."

Zhu Zhi shook his head and sighed.

Cao Ren's pupils shrank slightly, and this was not good.

"What General Zhu said is very much. We should guard the camp." Cao Cao nodded, then thought for a while and said, "Transfer the order. Order the Huo Head soldiers to have extra meals tonight. Take out wine and meat to reward the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army. And the generals, they will not take off their armor and actively prepare for the war."

"promise."

The civil and military officials agreed and then left in a hurry.

"Oh." Cao Cao looked at the empty tent and sighed to the sky.

That guy Zhang Xiu is really hard to deal with.

It’s really impossible to beat, and it’s not possible to get out of wit. What can you do? What can you do?

It's so suffocating, so suffocating.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come from.

................

It was dark and windy at night. Zhang Xiu's army was stationed in the military camp in the city. The soldiers buried their pots and cooked rice. After a full meal, they were gathered by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Wu Kuang. Except for the five thousand elite cavalry, the rest were infantry.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu, Dian Wei and others came on light rides.

Also coming were Dong Zhuo in armor, Li Ru and others.

Zhang Xiu bowed to Dong Zhuo first and said, "Please ask Mr. Dong, Hu Zhen and General Fan Chou to support me."

"Hahaha. What did Dalang say? Once you take action, you will definitely win. What formation will you put on?" Dong Zhuo laughed.

He knew the whole story, and now this is the case in Sun Jian’s camp. He is very confident. So are Li Ru, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu bowed to Dong Zhuo again, then turned his head and looked around at Wu Kuang, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun and said, "Cao Cao is not the generals under Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, nor are the princes' wine bags. They are all powerful generals. They must be prepared. There is nothing else tonight, and they will clamor forward, and the general is not afraid of death."

"Light up the torches. Scream loudly, and order the archers to bring the rockets and we attack his camp."

"No." The three generals responded with a loud bang.

Not long after, Zhang Xiuxian led the three generals and 10,000 20,000 infantry and cavalry under his command out of the city gate, and the cavalry was determined to wait. Zhang Liao was the vanguard, followed by Gao Shun, and Wu Kuang's infantry last.

The soldiers shouted loudly, raised the torch, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.

Not long after, Hu Zhen and Fan Chou also led 20,000 troops out of the city, raised their torches and shouted loudly, and for a moment it seemed like they were surrounded by enemies, shocking the earth.

Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others walked up to the city and watched the situation.

Of course, Sun Jian’s camp was prepared. Generals and soldiers did not take off their armor. But when the sound of killing came out, the camp was still in panic.

During the day, all soldiers knew that Sun Jian was not in harmony with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu cut off the food and grass, and the morale of the army was already in chaos.

Sun Jian is not here, and the army has no soul.

Now the sound of killing is shocking and the noise is rumbling. It is really the death talisman of the King of Hell.

Cao Cao was already sleeping lightly, and woke up immediately, lifted up the bedding and exposed the black iron armor. After standing up and putting on his shoes, he immediately came outside the tent and took the escalator to defend himself.

"I'll order all villages tonight to survive and die. Only by fighting bloody battles can you repel Zhang Xiu." Cao Cao roared his halberd behind his back and shouted.

"promise."

The messenger responded to the promise and immediately rode his horse down.

On both sides of the North Envoy Gate, there are two camps, which are Huang Gai and Cheng Pu’s military camps.

The two generals each walked out of their tents and ordered their soldiers to guard the camp. Countless archers and crossbow archers climbed the wall of the camp and planned to bend their bows and shoot arrows.

However, the morale and number of soldiers are not comparable. Not to mention Sun Jian is not here, just say that Sun Jian attacked Luoyang for half a month and failed to capture the city.

The soldiers suffered too many losses and suffered too many casualties. Even the elite soldiers would not be too high. Although Zhang Xiu had few people under his command, he was able to maintain his energy and wait for labor.

Now that he is out, he is like a dragon going out to sea, and it is unstoppable.

"Don't be afraid, attack."

Under the flag of the "Zhang" character, Zhang Liao took the lead, constantly waving the long-handled sword in his hand, and directed the soldiers to rush forward.

He had two siege cars and countless ladders under his command.

The shield and the crossbowman walked in the front, and the shield protected the archers, crossbow archers, crossbow archers, and archers kept shooting arrows towards the camp.

Not long after, the soldiers pushed two huge siege cars and rushed to the camp. Below this siege car was an ordinary large cart, but above it was a huge piece of wood, which had great impact.

Originally this thing was used to hit the city gate.

"kill!!!!!"

The soldiers who were pushing the huge siege car roared hard and pushed the huge siege car to the front of the camp wall, and then began to hit vigorously.

At the same time, countless soldiers rushed up with ladders.

"Quick, burn the siege vehicles with fire. Splash the soldiers of these chariots with hot oil." Huang Gai was experienced and prepared, so he immediately ordered.

"Baobababababababababababa!" Suddenly, some soldiers still went torches to the siege car, but the siege car was specially treated and could not burn for a while.

However, boiling oil is amazing. There is a shield-like protection device at the front of the siege car, which can prevent arrows. However, the hot oil fell from the air and burned some soldiers, screaming for a while.

But the siege cars are not the main force. The real main force is the soldiers carrying ladders. Under the cover of archers, crossbow archers, and siege cars, these soldiers put the ladders on the camp wall, and braved the arrows of both sides and climbed towards the camp wall.

That's right.

In such a chaotic situation, even the arrows shot by our archers may hit oneself from behind.

Zhang Liao's offensive was very fierce, and the camp wall was either pushed down or occupied. Seeing that the situation was like this, Huang Gai knew that if he did not respond, it would be over.

"Fight and retreat, let the sword and shield hands and spear hands rise up. We enter the camp to form a formation and fight." Huang Gai gritted his teeth and ordered loudly.

The well-trained Jiangdong soldiers immediately fought and retreated, completely giving up their control of the camp wall, retreating to the center of the camp, using swords, shields and spears to protect the archers' formation and array to resist.
