It was late at night, and the light from the burning torches in Li Shushi's camp was particularly conspicuous in this silent night. Except for the occasional coughing of patrol soldiers and the crackling sound of burning torches, the entire camp was silent.
Everything seemed so quiet. Everything seemed so normal.
"Boss, it's not like we haven't dealt with those Yellow Turbans with low combat effectiveness. We can deal with this level of scum with just one charge, and they're still shaking and already asleep."
A rather fancy-dressed man stared in the direction of Li Shushi's camp with a bored expression. Although he was looking in the direction of the camp, most of his thoughts were on the man next to him whose appearance he could not clearly see.
"The second brother is always cautious. Although I don't like his character very much, even I have to admit that the family business left by my father has been carried forward in his hands. Compared with him, my brother is a bit unsatisfactory.
Woolen cloth."
Then in the faint moonlight, you can see an unkempt face. Under the messy hair, melancholy and deep eyes and a sad beard, there is a slightly mature face. If Li Shushi is here, he must be here.
They would yell, "Brother Sharp, you have worn it too." Then they would ask for autographs and take photos as souvenirs.
This person is none other than Cao Ren, a child of the Cao family who wanders between Huaisi and Huaisi and is determined to become an excellent ranger. Although Cao Ren, who is still in the rebellious stage, does not seem to care about his appearance, but on the contrary, it makes him
He developed a different kind of charm.
At the same time, relying on his rich financial resources, outstanding reputation in the local area, and Cao Ren's extraordinary skills, he naturally became the leader of the knights in the Huaisi area. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Ren, who had a sense of heroism, protected the countryside through
The villagers were protected from attacks by bandits who took advantage of the chaos. In an instant, his team expanded from more than a hundred people to thousands now.
As the men around him said, because the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou is far inferior to that of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Jizhou, they naturally dealt with a lot of lawless people who used the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to rob homes and homes. And because they were dealing with those
They were too relaxed when they were fighting, which greatly affected their judgment of the true strength of Li Shushi's troops.
Although the cautious Cao Ren deliberately wanted to suppress this idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, after repeated victories, this group of self-proclaimed rangers obviously did not take their boss's instructions to heart, but instead fantasized about killing the enemy in their hearts.
The feat of chopping melons and vegetables.
Suddenly, one of Cao Ren's men behind him suddenly put his ear to the ground. Then he quickly came to Cao Ren and reported to Cao Ren in a low voice: "Boss, it sounds like the second master's cavalry is coming to join. Should we?"
Get ready."
"No need, let Chundi make his own decision, we just need to cooperate with him." Cao Ren gave the order without thinking much.
After reuniting with Cao Ren's troops, Cao Chun asked his men to dismount and rest. At the same time, he wrapped the four hooves of the war horse and yoked the horse. He and his brother Cao Ren confirmed the enemy's movement for the last time. Then he climbed on the war horse and rode away.
.
"Okay, it's time for us to take action. It is estimated that after the Yellow Turbans are resolved, there will be nothing nearby that can threaten the power of our Cao family. From now on, whether we are helping Meng De or Zi Lian, we will be able to relax for a while."
Seeing his younger brother disappearing into the night with his men, Cao Ren casually patted the dirt on his body. Although he acted calmly, this was his first time to participate in a war of ten thousand levels.
Even a sneak attack made him, a rookie on the battlefield, feel uneasy. From this point of view, Li Shushi was really very nervous.
"Whoosh", this was the sound when the arrow cut through the air, and then the four guards fell down at the same time, holding their throats.
Cao Chun looked at the three men beside him with satisfaction. At the same time, he took back the iron bow in his hand and made a gesture. Immediately, several people used the power of their horses to drag away the antlers placed at the entrance of the camp.
and roadblocks. Seeing that this series of actions did not attract the attention of Li Shushi's camp, Cao Chun finally issued an attack gesture and rushed in at the lead.
They did not spread out, but gathered together neatly, like a dark cloud full of electric charge. Apart from occasionally cutting off burning torches or throwing torches towards a certain camp, the only thing they did was to work together
Like Li Shushi's attack on the Chinese army's tent, he hoped to achieve the effect of beheading by taking advantage of the time difference before the defenders could react.
Many tents where they passed along the way were on fire, and shouts could be heard from many faraway tents.
Speaking of this world, although civil servants can arrange formations to prevent spell attacks, they are only for spells that are stimulated by mental power and provided by MP to provide continuous spells. If it is a naturally occurring chemical change, then the formations are powerless.
Just when Cao Chun and his entourage were about to rush to Li Shushi's Chinese army tent, Cao Chun's frightened heart finally reached its peak since entering the camp, as if his mysterious sixth sense was reminding him of the approaching danger.
It is a pity that although Cao Chun has excellent intuition, he has a certain contempt for danger and his attitude towards danger without military experience, which prevents him from reacting accordingly. Not only that, he is even more radical.
He ordered his subordinates to continue to advance with him.
So, the tragedy inevitably happened.
"This... this is impossible..." Cao Chun could already clearly see Li Shushi standing at the door of the Chinese army's tent, a beautiful little lolita and an extremely cold man beside him.
However, just when he thought he was in sight of victory, he suddenly saw the opponent raising a snow-white feather fan. Then, he felt as if he had lost weight, and his heart sank.
In less than a second, Cao Chun, who was riding on a war horse, had a close contact with the earth. In less than three seconds, Cao Chun's subordinates followed in the footsteps of their leader. For a moment, people jumped on their backs and it was so exciting.
, but when they woke up, their hearts were chilled. Because what they saw was a large pit with a depth of three meters, and on the top of the pit was a circle of archers with arrows ready to go.
"If I can climb out of this pit, I can kill all the enemies. Can I climb out? No. So I am defeated."
At this moment, Mr. Cao Chun could clearly hear the shouts of killing coming from the distance. He knew that those must be the voices of his brother and the soldiers from Xujiawu who came to help in the battle according to the agreement. But look at his side
Due to the situation, he understood that the other party would definitely not let go of Xu Jiawu's army. As for whether the army led by his brother would become a surprise force, Cao Chun had no confidence at all.
But even such a small hope was killed by the devil in the next moment.
"Cao Chun and Cao Zihe, I don't know if what I said is right. You should have an elder brother named Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao who separated from the family. I heard that your elder brother is very famous in the Huaisi area, and his subordinates are very good.
Centaur and horse, yes and no."
It was a slightly childish voice. Reminiscent of the rumors that Li Shushi was about twelve or thirteen years old, he basically identified the owner of that hateful voice. Hearing the smug feeling revealed in the other person's voice, Cao Chun was so happy
Xuan didn't cry.
"If I can tell my brother about the situation at hand, he will definitely respond correctly. Can I pass on the information? No. So this time I am completely defeated, and there is no hope of a comeback."
Yes, although the brothers Xu Chu and Xu Ding are both strong generals who can stand alone, they need to face the flanking attack of Cheng Lian and Wei Yue led by Lu Bu. And Cao Ren even needs to face Zhao Yun and Tai Shi.
Ci, Qian Zhao and Guan Hai took turns attacking. I am afraid that no matter how brave Cao Ren was, he could not reverse the situation, not to mention the low morale of his men due to the failed sneak attack, which made Cao Ren's command difficult.
When Li Shushi saw the signal coming from Xujiawu, he knew that Dianwei had successfully eliminated the few resistance forces in Xujiawu. It can be said that he basically achieved his tactics in this battle.
The purpose is to see if there will be icing on the cake. Of course, those black armor knights in the pit have become much more honest after being repaired by bows and arrows.
Li Shushi did not let Li Shushi wait any longer, and soon news of victory came from Lu Bu. Xu Chu was captured alive by Lu Bu, and Xu Ding was seriously injured by Cheng Lian.
Despite the desperate resistance of his men, Cao Ren finally succeeded in escaping from the battlefield, but his Huaisi soldiers were basically wiped out, which can be considered a small gain.
However, Li Shushi had some malicious speculations. When Cao Cao's cavalry rebels against Dong in the future, he wonders what kind of troops Cao Ren will use to help his brother. From now until Dong Zhuo takes power, there will only be less than five or six years. However,
Considering that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was a rich man with a good temper, if Cao Ren was willing to look down, it would not be impossible for him to get enough support.
Of course, those things have nothing to do with Li Shushi. The most important thing now is the post-war settlement.
"Xu Chu, do you want the entire Xu family to be buried with you, or do you plan to take the Yangguan Road I pointed out to you?"
It is not difficult for Xu Chu to persuade him to surrender. After all, Li Shushi holds a lot of cards. Although Xu Chu does not want to follow Li Shushi, a rebel who does not seem to have much future, he also does not want his relatives to be harmed.
"Aren't you afraid of promising you on the surface and then doing things that are detrimental to you in private?"
"What kind of person are you, Xu Zhongkang? Heaven knows, you know and I know. Are you someone who would do that kind of thing?"
Xu Chu was silent. He felt that his defeat this time was really not unfair, because the enemy had studied him very clearly. It is of course much easier to know oneself and the enemy than to know oneself and not know the enemy.
"Chu, I wish to surrender." Xu Chu lowered his high head like Li Shushi.
I finally solved the main mission this time, but the benefits obtained from the side missions seem to be even more difficult to deal with.
