Chapter 2129: Night Attack
Liu Xianjun rushed forward, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had accumulated during this period. There were only waves of people on the battlefield, and the waves of impact destroyed everything in front of him.
Xiahou Dunle turned his horse's head and shouted sternly: "Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Everybody gather around me! Everybody gather around me!"
When Cao Jun, who was fleeing around him, saw Xiahou Dun's figure and heard his shouts, they naturally gathered around him.
But at this moment, a dense barrage of powerful arrows whizzed in, causing Cao's officers and soldiers present to stagger. Then a group of heavy armored infantry armed with huge horse-killing swords roared up and slashed Cao's army with swords all over the sky!
The scene suddenly saw blood and flesh flying everywhere, and Cao's officers and soldiers were slashed and rolling all over the ground amid the screams! The Cao army that was originally gathering completely collapsed in an instant!
Xiahou Dun was furious and slashed at Liu Xian's officers and soldiers who were charging forward with his sword! However, no matter how fierce he was at this moment, it was useless. The Cao army and Wu army around him had all collapsed and disintegrated!
…
The coalition forces were completely defeated and fled into Dazhai. Liu Xian's army pursued them until they reached Dazhai before finally stopping their pursuit and returning to the city.
The fierce battle came to an end, and the noisy battlefield fell into silence.
At this time, many vultures were circling high in the sky, while corpses were strewn on the ground. A battle turned this wilderness into a hell like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Night fell, and the atmosphere in the coalition tent was very depressing.
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it! Not only did we fail to succeed in today's battle, but the enemy took advantage of it and caught us off guard!"
The other generals were also depressed, feeling a little at a loss as to the huge contrast before and after today's battle.
Xun You frowned and said: "In today's battle, the losses are secondary. The most serious blow is the morale of our army. After this battle, the morale of our army has been greatly reduced!"
Xu Chu couldn't help but scolded: "Those militiamen are really useless and useless! They should not be included in the battle queue!" Many generals also angrily agreed.
Cao Cao and Lu Xun looked at each other and said nothing. In fact, they did not agree with what Xu Chu and others said. Although the civilian army performed extremely poorly in this battle, to a certain extent, the civilian army dragged down the army.
However, from another perspective, the reason why the coalition forces can maintain such strong fighting spirit is also thanks to the civilian army.
Because of the participation of the civilian army, the entire army became more powerful and impressive, adding endless confidence to Wu Jun and Cao Jun who originally had little confidence.
It can be said that if the civilian army had not boosted everyone's confidence in terms of numbers, this major counterattack might not have been possible.
Of course, it is an indisputable fact that the civilian army's combat effectiveness is too poor. Facing the surprise attack of the opponent's cavalry, they could not hold on for even a moment. Almost instantly, the entire county collapsed! This directly caused the entire Chinese army to collapse.
Then collapse!
However, these things have happened even if we didn’t want them to happen. What we should consider now is what to do next.
Cao Cao frowned and thought: "The war has developed to this point, and our chances are running out. The reinforcements led by Zhao Yanran should arrive in the next few days, and we must prepare for a rainy day."
Lu Xun heard the hint of retreat in Cao Cao's words, and immediately said resolutely: "Winning or losing this battle, as well as the gain and loss of Danyang, are very important to us. We must not give up like this!
Today’s setback is nothing but a small setback. We can completely regroup and continue the attack! With artillery and sharp weapons in hand, our army will definitely be able to break through Danyang and eliminate the enemy!"
Less than half of the people present echoed loudly.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Since General Lu Xun is determined, I won't say anything more."
The night gradually deepened, and the entire coalition camp became silent. Except for a few sentries and patrols, all coalition officers and soldiers seemed to have fallen asleep.
At this moment, many dark shadows appeared around the camp, approaching the gate of the camp.
It turned out that Zhao Yun Gaolan led more than 20,000 elites to quietly approach the coalition camp under the cover of night.
Gao Lan looked at the silent camp in front of him, suppressed his excitement, and whispered to Zhao Yun: "General, the enemy is unprepared. This opportunity must not be missed and won't come back again! Let's take action quickly!"
Zhao Yun carefully observed the situation in the camp, nodded, and said: "Act according to the plan, go in and out quickly, don't be reluctant to fight!"
Gao Lan excitedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General!" Then he waved his hand behind him and led five thousand cavalry to attack first.
They quickly rushed towards the camp gate.
The allied sentry guarding the camp gate suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise coming from the darkness outside the camp. He immediately became alert and quickly looked into the darkness.
At this moment, everyone was surprised when they suddenly saw a large group of black figures rushing out of the darkness!
Before they could take any action, the black shadows suddenly shot out countless arrows, and the sentinels standing high up were hit by the arrows and fell down.
The cavalry troops led by Gao Lan rushed to the camp gate, quickly moved away their horses, and then opened the camp gate. Then they rushed in from the camp gate.
Gao Lan raised his spear high and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to capture Cao Cao and Lu Xun alive!" All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, with momentum like a rainbow.
Gao Lan quickly rushed to the allied army's tent, and immediately the handsome men rushed into the tent, preparing to capture Cao Cao and Lu Xun alive.
However, after entering the big tent, I saw that the huge tent was completely empty, not even a single person.
Gao Lan was stunned for a moment, then he understood and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly retreat! There is an ambush!..."
As if in response to his words, huge drums and killing sounds suddenly came from outside the big tent. The originally silent night was completely broken!
Gao Lan quickly ran out of the tent. He suddenly saw countless coalition forces appearing in all directions, as if they suddenly emerged from the ground. They were surrounded by longing figures. Countless torches illuminated the entire night as if it were daytime.
Already.
Gao Lan hurriedly mounted his horse and shouted: "Follow me to break through!"
At this moment, there were wind howls all around, and arrows fell into Liu Xian's army. The officers and soldiers of Liu Xian who were caught off guard staggered around and fell down!
Gao Lan couldn't care about this, and led his officers and soldiers to break out along the way they came, and collided with the coalition forces who tried to block their retreat, and they started fighting!
In the dark night, only the sound of killing could be heard, as officers and soldiers from both sides collided and fought fiercely! Flesh and blood flew in the air, and officers and soldiers were constantly being killed and fell into a pool of blood!
Chapter completed!
