After the three nodded, they immediately started to arrange their troops. At the same time, all the trebuchets in the army were being installed and debugged in the distance. They definitely wanted to give Lu Bu a huge surprise when he might arrive.
Time passed by one minute and one second, and it was the second watch in the blink of an eye. At this time, the two soldiers and horses of Lu Bu and Xi Zhicai also began to bind their horses with their hooves, and silently advanced towards Yanliang's camp. At the same time, there were also people in the East City.
Ready, ready to send troops at any time,
But there is one thing that Lu Bu and Xi Zhi don't know. Their actions have been completely betrayed by Zhou Ping, and their identities have also changed from hunters to prey. Only God knows who will win in the next battle.
"Military advisor, it's midnight."
Cao Ren looked at the moon high in the sky and spoke directly to Xi Zhicai.
"Send troops. We will not fight back until Yuan's camp is broken."
If the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, then go for it.
"promise."
Cao Ren turned around and looked at the army waiting behind him.
"We will not return Yuan Ying's power until we break it."
"We will not return Yuan Ying's power until we break it."
"We will not return Yuan Ying's power until we break it."
Cao Jun shouted slogans and began to attack Yan Liang's army. At the same time, Lu Bu's army on the other side also rushed towards Yuan Ying like a wave.
"Sir, it's midnight."
Li Yun glanced at the sky, then cupped his fists towards Zhou Ping.
"Wait for a while. We'll get over there when they start killing them first."
Zhou Ping knew that it was midnight, but he did not choose to send troops immediately, but chose to wait temporarily.
"Sir, wasn't it agreed on the third watch?
If we don’t send troops, will there be any problems?”
After hearing Zhou Ping's words, Li Yun frowned tightly. If you don't send troops at the agreed time, if something goes wrong, it will be over.
"It's okay. There are only so many enemies. Besides, we are attacking by sneak attack. Even if they rush in, there will be no problem. If we enter the field more slowly, we can form a wave attack and protect our strength. Why not?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Ping shook his head and expressed his thoughts. His troops and horses were basically Chen Wen's entire property, and he must preserve his strength to the maximum extent.
"I understand, little one."
Li Yun was unable to refute what Zhou Ping said. Now that he had figured it out, what did he have to say?
After all, he is the commander-in-chief, and he is just a small captain. The success or failure of things has nothing to do with him.
Xi Zhicai and Lu Bujun rushed directly to the outskirts of Yan Liang's army and found that there were no patrol troops at all.
"Zixiao, this situation is wrong."
In the middle of the night, Yuan Shujun didn't have any troops patrolling the perimeter, which was a bit strange.
"Military advisor, do you mean that the enemy is on guard?"
After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Ren frowned.
"It stands to reason that we shouldn't. Our actions are very secretive and the enemy cannot possibly guess that we will attack the camp at night."
Although he himself said something was wrong, Xi Zhicai immediately denied his suspicion.
"Maybe Yuan Shujun felt that Dongcheng was unlikely to attack the camp, so he relaxed his vigilance. This is also possible."
To be honest, Cao Ren was a little confused by the situation in front of him, but this may be the only explanation that makes sense at the moment.
"No matter what, now the arrow is on the string and we have to fire it. There are only so many enemies. No matter if they notice it or not, we have to kill them."
Xi Zhicai shook his head. Although he was also confused, he had to rush now because they had been exposed. If they could not seize this opportunity, Yuan Shu's partial army would probably withdraw immediately.
In this way, they not only failed to defeat the enemy, but also put Cao Cao under Dantu under tremendous pressure, so he had to fight no matter what.
"promise."
Now that the matter has come to this, confusion is the most undesirable thing. Instead of hesitating and missing the opportunity, it is better to kill him directly according to the original agreement.
Cao's army and Lu Bu's army fought directly from the north and south to the edge of Yan Liang's camp. A hail of arrows shot down the straw soldiers on the camp.
"Set fire, burn the camp."
"Set fire, burn the camp."
The two parties unanimously chose to set fire. At this time, the fixed formula of night attack was that setting fire could confuse the enemy's troops and horses, making it easier for your own horses to trample the enemy camp.
After a series of torches, both sides also charged into the camp brutally.
Looking at the camp that was burning under the flames, Lu Bu and Cao Ren were stunned because no soldiers from Yuan Shujun appeared in front of them.
The two looked at each other and each shouted.
"It's a trap, get out immediately."
"Quick rewind, fast rewind."
Hearing the shouts of the two men, the soldiers under their respective command were stunned for a moment, and then began to run away under the leadership of their respective generals.
"I want to run now, but it's too late. Let's fire the flint and bullets."
The trebuchets lying in ambush in the woods not far away directly lifted up the green curtain covering it, and then there was a burst of machine sounds, and thirty trebuchets launched a direct attack.
Countless stone bullets burned violently, like meteors falling from the sky, directly hitting their own camp.
"Defense, defense."
"Shield up."
"Quick, defend."
Looking at the bolide falling from the sky, the two armies heard the sound of command one after another, and then countless shields appeared out of thin air to resist the next attack.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The sound of smashing one after another exploded in the middle of the camp. Countless shields were directly smashed into pieces, and the soldiers under the shields were directly smashed into a pool of blood.
"Back, back, back."
"As for the cavalry, charge me in the direction of the stone bullets and destroy their trebuchets."
A wave of bullets has already riddled the two armies of Lu Bu and Cao Ren. All they can do now is to quickly exit Yan Liang's camp. They are simply too passive here, and send cavalry to follow the trajectory of the bullets.
Go destroy those trebuchets.
"Keep playing, don't stop."
After the first wave of stone bullets, the captain of the trebuchet was not afraid at all and ordered the trebuchet to continue shooting. You must know that they were only a few hundred meters away from the camp, and the enemy would be able to kill them immediately along the trajectory, but so what?
Just do it and it's done.
After the first wave of stone bullets, the second wave of bolide lit up the night sky again and slammed in the direction of the camp. Cao Ren and Lu Bu's hundreds of cavalry also looked in the right direction and killed them directly.
The camp was in chaos, and everyone was equal under the fire and bullets. No matter you were a soldier or a captain, as long as you were injured in a minor way, you would be burped in a serious situation.
"Colonel, the enemy's cavalry is coming."
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, a team leader spoke directly to the captain.
"Don't be afraid. After this wave of stone bullets, all the vehicles are burned down, and the Jizhou Army will have no weak enemies. Let the enemy know that we are not only powerful with trebuchets, but also have no fear of anyone with a knife."
Facing the incoming cavalry, the captain gritted his teeth. If they retreated now, they would be safe if they were blocked by the trees. However, if they chose to continue firing the third wave of stone bullets, they would be caught by the enemy. It is very likely that they would be caught by the enemy.
All died here.
"Car No. 1 is loaded and in place."
"Car No. 2 is loaded and in place."
"Car No. 3 is loaded and in place."
There was no unnecessary nonsense. What came to the captain's ears was the response of trebuchets being loaded.
"emission."
The captain gave an order, and the third wave of flint bombs flew out again, lighting up the dark night sky like fireworks. After all this was done, barrels of kerosene were poured directly on the trebuchets, and then all thirty trebuchets were
Caught in the sea of fire, the blazing flames illuminated the faces of everyone beside the trebuchet. Facing the approaching enemy, there was no fear in their eyes, only fearlessness.
"The trebuchet is right there, charge it for me."
The distance of a few hundred meters passed in an instant. Cao Ren and Lu Bu's cavalry squad finally arrived at the trebuchet. Looking at the fires in the woods, they rushed over on horseback.
"The Jizhou army will definitely win."
Seeing the cavalry within easy reach, the captain roared and stabbed directly with his spear.
