Cao Ren led his army to Nanton County with great fanfare and made it clear to the Shu army where he was.
Huang Xu asked for a fight, got Pang Tong's consent, and immediately rushed to the army.
Soon, he mobilized 20,000 soldiers. Because he heard that Cao Ren also had 20,000 troops, Huang Xu only mobilized 20,000 troops, thinking that it was enough to deal with Cao Ren. He left the military camp with his soldiers and marched quickly, constantly chasing Cao Ren.
In two days, Huang Xu led his soldiers into Nanton County. Huang Xu did not rush to continue on his way. Instead, he stopped to set up camp and sent scouts from the army to inquire about Cao Ren and find out the situation of the Wei army.
By doing this, I also wanted to take this opportunity to impress the army.
In the Chinese army's tent, Huang Xu was looking at the map, wondering how to defeat the enemy?
"Report!!"
A loud shout came from outside the camp, and Huang Xu said without raising his head: "Come in."
After the scout entered the tent, he bowed to Huang Xu, clasped his fists and said, "General, we have found out the specific location of Cao Ren. They are forty miles northeast. We will continue to march quickly to catch up today, and we should be able to catch up late at night.
.”
Huang Xu said in a deep voice: "The time to catch up is midnight, the time is just right."
He stood up and ordered loudly: "Send the order and order the soldiers to pack their bags and set off immediately. We must catch up with the Wei army in the middle of the night and catch Cao Ren by surprise."
The scout thought for a while and felt something was wrong, so he said: "General, our 20,000-strong army is galloping all the way. Cao Ren must be able to detect the movement of the army. Once Cao Ren gets the news, he will definitely be on guard and attack Cao Ren unexpectedly."
Impossible. Moreover, we are marching in a hurry. The soldiers have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. They may be ambushed. General, have you asked the prefect and Military Advisor Pang for instructions to wait for the army to arrive before leading the army to chase Cao Ren. The army will crush him and kill him.
, Cao Ren will definitely die without a burial place."
Huang Xu snorted and said loudly: "Why do we need to ask the military advisor for instructions? Can't we defeat Cao Ren? Since we are afraid that Cao Ren has an ambush, we will change our strategy slightly. I led eight thousand soldiers to take a small road and rushed to Cao Ren's camp. The rest
The 12,000 soldiers are on their way as usual. With the army as cover, the 8,000 soldiers I lead will become a surprise force. At night, 8,000 soldiers suddenly rushed into Cao's camp, and Cao Ren could not change the situation of defeat."
Huang Xu was very ambitious, with a look of expectation on his face.
Defeat the Wei army and capture Cao Ren.
The scout still felt that it was unsafe and said: "General, if we only lead 8,000 people, can we win? You know, Cao Ren led an army to capture Pingyu County and Shangcai County, and robbed countless grains.
There will definitely be more than 20,000 soldiers and some Baixin captured. If you lead a surprise attack with 8,000 soldiers, problems will easily arise."
"Long-worded."
Huang Xu waved his hand impatiently and said: "I asked you to deliver the order, so go ahead and deliver the order. The Shu army was invincible in all battles, and all attacks were invincible. Gao Lan's 80,000-strong army was defeated, not to mention the defeated generals with more than 20,000 remnants led by Cao Ren.
It’s worth mentioning. Cao Ren is just a little smart, don’t worry. Go get ready, I’m about to send out troops.”
"promise!!"
The scout clasped his fists in response and hurried to carry out the order.
…
Wei army camp, Cao Ren and his army set up camp here.
Cao Ren led his army to conquer Pingyu County and Shangcai County, but he was not proud. He clearly understood the gap between the Shu army and the Wei army, and knew that he would definitely die if he faced off against the Wei army. This was not only a matter of troop strength, but also of the soldiers.
It is a matter of strength. If you want to win, you can only use some clever means to lay ambushes and gradually consume the power of the Shu army. Otherwise, it is impossible to save Yuzhou from this game. Cao Ren has given up control of the counties in Yuzhou and does not care about a city.
The gain or loss of a place depends on the survival of the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, and how to contain Zhang Liao?
In the Chinese army's tent, Cao Ren, Cao Fei and others were discussing matters.
Zhao Hong stood below, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, as you expected, someone in the Shu army was impatient and led the army to attack first. The person leading the army was Huang Xu, who was a subordinate of Wang Can's general Huang Zhong.
My son, his martial arts skills are superb and his sword skills are ruthless, no less than Huang Zhong's."
Cao Ren asked: "Have you heard clearly about the situation of Huang Xu's army?"
Zhao Hong nodded and said excitedly: "Huang Xu marched forward with 20,000 soldiers, and stopped again after arriving in Nanton County. However, he asked part of the army to rush towards us, but he took a small road with several thousand soldiers.
Okay. Hey, Huang Xu thought that no one would notice the deception he used, but he didn't know that the scouts discovered that Huang Xu was not in the army, and immediately judged Huang Xu's intentions. My lord, Huang Xu came with thousands of people,
This is a good opportunity to eliminate Huang Xu, don’t miss it.”
Cao Ren smiled and said: "We are running around to preserve our strength, just to wear down the power of the Shu army bit by bit. Now Huang Xu has taken the initiative to bring thousands of troops to kill, which just gives us the opportunity. Put it on his lips.
How is that possible if you don’t even eat the meat on the table?” Cao Ren turned to look at Cao Fei and asked, “Cao Fei, the common people and ordinary soldiers we kidnapped from Shangcai County and Pingyu County are still in the army.
The only way to defeat Huang Xu is to put them in the clothes of our soldiers, arrange them well, and wait for Huang Xu to come."
"promise!!"
Cao Fei had known Cao Ren's intention for a long time and immediately carried out the order.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren also stood up, took Zhao Hong, Tao Mang and others out of the tent and went to mobilize soldiers in the army.
…
After night falls, the soft moonlight shines down, hazy and really beautiful.
Huang Xu led eight thousand soldiers on a rapid march. After approaching the Wei army camp, Huang Xu asked the eight thousand soldiers to hide temporarily. Then he approached the Wei army camp with his trusted generals. The two of them hid in the dark and looked at the brightly lit Wei army camp. A school lieutenant
After glancing at the Wei army's camp, he looked excited and said with a smile: "General, look at the Wei army's camp. Although the camp is well laid out and has various fortifications, after looking at the soldiers in the camp, you can tell at a glance that it is just fake.
The soldiers on patrol at night were listless and disheveled, and they did not have the aura of a tough soldier at all. With such soldiers, Cao Ren was able to capture Shangcai County and Yuxian County. It is really difficult to evaluate the magistrates of these two counties."
Huang Xu said disdainfully: "It is really embarrassing to be captured by such soldiers. The magistrates of Shangcai County and Yuxian County are fools." He thought for a while and then said: "Cao Ren was not prepared, and the soldiers in the army were all stupid.
Weary people are completely untrained, and eight thousand of us are enough to win."
The captain smiled and said: "The general is wise, our army will win."
Huang Xu waved his hand and said: "Let's go, return to the army immediately, lead the soldiers to launch a surprise attack. Cao Ren is unprepared, we will win this battle." He took the captain and a few soldiers who followed him, and quickly
Disappeared into the night and ran towards the place where the army rested.
After returning to the army, Huang Xu immediately ordered to approach the Wei army camp.
Eight thousand people approached quietly and soon arrived at the gate of the Wei army's camp.
Huang Xu stared at the brightly lit Wei army camp, slowly raised the ten-foot-long sword in his hand, and roared loudly: "Go in and capture Cao Ren alive." Huang Xu flicked the reins of his horse, with an excited look on his face, and took the lead in launching an attack.
Toward the Wei army camp.
Under the light of the fire, a figure kept moving forward, approaching the Wei army camp.
"kill!!"
Eight thousand Shu army soldiers roared loudly, and their voices echoed in the night sky.
When the soldiers in the Wei camp saw the Shu army coming, there was no reaction from the regular soldiers, and they immediately became a mess. The Shu army broke through the fortifications arranged, and some soldiers thought of beating the war drums to notify the soldiers in the camp to get up. resistance.
Such an action was obviously much slower. As the Shu army's shouts of killing approached, Huang Xu had already entered the Wei army's camp with a long sword. He slashed with the long sword, killing more than ten people in two or three strokes. A Wei army patrolling at night. At this time, many soldiers wearing Wei army uniforms came out with swords in the barracks. These people may have sallow complexions, fat heads and big ears, and even some people with short stature, and some What's more, some of them are children aged fourteen or fifteen, which is simply unbelievable.
Huang Xu was amused when he saw Wei Jun looking like this.
These people are incredible. Are these soldiers an army?
