After Hulao was closed, the thick and huge city gate opened with a creak.
"Da da da……"
Horse hooves stepped on the bluestone of the official road, making a crisp clicking sound. A group of cavalry was seen rushing out of the city gate and quickly disappeared into the night sky. Immediately after the cavalry ran out of the city gate, messy footsteps came from the city.
Infantrymen wearing armor, swords hanging from their waists, and ferocious faces rushed out, followed by the cavalry, and quickly disappeared into the night.
The cavalry and infantry left one after another, and the gate of the city tower closed with a creak.
The cavalry and infantry who disappeared into the night walked out of the city gate and rushed directly to the camps of the princes and allies.
Among the soldiers, every infantryman carries a quiver full of arrows on his back, and a long bow hangs on his waist. When running quickly, the sound of clicking is heard constantly, giving people a messy, but also disarming feeling.
It feels inexplicably depressing. Unlike the infantry, every horse riding on the cavalry has a medal in its mouth and hooves. When the horse gallops, the sound is very soft and difficult to detect.
After the cavalry and infantry ran a long distance, two middle-aged men appeared on the tower.
One of them has a mustache and a goatee; the other has a dark complexion, a rough face, and piercing but profound eyes. At a glance, it gives people the feeling of being in a fog.
Of these two people, the former is Guo Si and the latter is Li Jue.
Guo Bang frowned, stretched out his hand and slowly twirled his goat's beard, and said in a deep voice: "Old Li, the cavalry and infantry under Hua Xiong's command are only a thousand in total, and the princes and allies are numerous, and there are countless
Fierce general, Hua Xiong leads a thousand men to contain the allied forces of the princes. It is very difficult, and it is possible..."
"What are the possibilities? Disability? Death?"
A cruel smile appeared on Li Jue's rough cheeks, and he said in a cold voice: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. If the Xiliang army that the grand master spent countless money to build is afraid of death, does it still have the meaning of existence? This battle,
Even if the one thousand soldiers led by Hua Xiong are completely wiped out, I still have to hold off the allied forces of the princes and prevent them from noticing my movements. As long as Hua Xiong can hold on until dawn, the Flying Bear Army under my command can
Kill Wang Can and destroy the food and fodder of the princes and allies."
"This battle determines the length of the war with the princes and allies, and there is no room for failure!"
Li Jue's big hand slapped the city wall with a bang, and his deep gaze seemed to penetrate the dark night, looking at Wang Can who was stopping on the way to escort the grain and grass...
Guo Si secretly shook his head when he saw that Li Jue wanted to destroy the food and fodder of the princes and allies.
He opened his mouth, with a look of hesitation on his face. Fortunately, the night was so dark that Li Jue didn't notice Guo Bang's expression.
Li Jue didn't speak, and Guo Bang was silent for a long time. Guo Bang still said: "Old Li, your plan is good, but there are also powerful people among the princes and allies. Hua Xiong harassed the princes and allies late at night. You led them
The Flying Bear Army attacks Wang Can. This strategy is perfect. But have you considered the allies of the princes? What will we do if the allies of the princes abandon their camp and attack Hulao Pass in a large scale?"
"Pfft!"
Li Jue sneered and asked: "Guo Aduo, can't you be more confident?"
Sighing, Li Jue patiently explained: "The night is thick, and Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This time and place are favorable to us. You led the Xiliang army to garrison Hulao Pass, and you have the right time and location. Both of them are good."
In your hands, are you afraid that the allied forces of the princes will attack Hulao Pass at night? In this case, the allied forces of the princes will not attack the city. Such a war will not be worthwhile and will be detrimental to ourselves and others."
"Okay, okay, I will do whatever you say. You go kill Wang Can and I will guard the gate."
Guo Si waved his hands repeatedly and started talking nonsense with Li Jue. Guo Si never won.
After a pause, Guo Bang still urged: "Before dawn, no matter whether the grain and grass escorted by Wang Can can be destroyed, we must rush back to Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass is the top priority and our foundation."
Li Jue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity."
After finishing speaking, both of them were speechless.
Time passed slowly, and the night became darker and darker. There was no moon in the dark night, and the light was very shallow... Counting the time, about a quarter of an hour later, Li Jue said: "Guo Aduo, the defense of Hulao Pass is over.
Here you go, although the allied forces of the princes are unlikely to attack the city, they must not relax their vigilance and must guard the pass."
Guo Bang waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, I'll do the work, don't worry."
Li Jue nodded, swung the black cloak behind him, turned around and walked down the tower, gathering the Flying Bear Army. After a while, a loud shout came from below the tower: "Open the city gate!"
Suddenly, the soldiers guarding the city gate opened the city gate.
I saw a group of dark cavalry rushing out quickly and disappearing into the night like a whirlwind...
At this time, the allied forces of the princes were encamped.
The sound of the horn woke up the soldiers who were sleeping soundly. They heard the sound of the horn. In the Allied camp, there was a chaotic and noisy sound in the soldiers' tents. A group of soldiers cursed the Xiliang soldiers for not fighting during the day.
It was really a coward and a bastard to play tricks at night. However, all the soldiers were not slow in their actions. They fastened their belts, put on their armor, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the camp.
Outside the camp, Yuan Shao rubbed his sore eyes, bleary-eyed, and looked like he had not woken up.
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Mengde, did you find anything during your vigil today?"
Cao Cao cupped his hands and said: "Alliance leader, because the night is dark, even if torches and bonfires are lit around the camp, only things within ten feet can be clearly seen. Beyond ten feet, we cannot clearly understand the terrain. The sound of the horn comes from far away
Although the general direction can be determined, it is impossible to determine how many Dong Zhuo's soldiers there are."
Yuan Shao snorted and asked: "How likely do you think they are to attack the camp?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "Alliance leader, the possibility of attacking the camp is unpredictable. However, Cao Cao believes that there are two possibilities for Dong Zhuo's army to blow the horn. One is to harass our soldiers and make all the soldiers unstable.
Go to sleep, and Dong Zhuo's army will have the upper hand when they fight tomorrow. Secondly, they first harassed our soldiers, more than once. When the soldiers were tired, Dong Zhuo's army quickly launched an attack, hoping to catch our army off guard.
.”
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, it seemed that these two points were difficult to deal with.
Dong Zhuo's army was so cunning and hateful.
Yuan Shao cursed Dong Zhuo secretly in his heart, but his face showed the look of a courteous corporal. He looked at Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other generals, and asked: "Everyone, Dong Zhuo's army is bullying people too much. Do you have any countermeasures?"
When Sun Jian heard this, he was a little moved and wanted to lead his army to fight.
Just when Sun Jian was about to speak, a middle-aged man with Chinese characters behind him moved his eyes, stretched out his hand and pulled Sun Jian's armor, and shook his head.
When Sun Jian saw this, he stood still and did not move out of the queue.
Not far away from Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan's eyes flashed and he was silent for a long time, standing still without making a sound.
It was already very late at night, and it was obviously unrealistic to attack Dong Zhuo's army.
Therefore, none of the princes were willing to stand up and lead soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo's army. In fact, Yuan Shao originally wanted to leave Cao Cao alone and wanted to ask the princes if they had any way to deal with Dong Zhuo's army's night attack. However, Yuan Shao asked, and everyone thought that Yuan Shao wanted to be attacked.
Dong Zhuo's army was so large that no one was willing to stand up and speak.
Yuan Shao lost his composure and asked in a deep voice: "What? You don't know how to deal with it? Could it be that Dong Zhuo's army used a small trick to make us at a loss and don't know what to do?"
Yuan Shao was very angry, his breathing was wheezing, and anger was boiling in his chest.
There was no one to cooperate, which was really disappointing to him. After all, he was also the leader of the alliance, but no one supported him.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to get angry, Cao Cao stood up, which chilled Yuan Shao's heart.
