The tiger and leopard elite cavalry led by Cao Chun are well-equipped and have extremely strong individual combat capabilities. They are a tiger and wolf division that Cao Cao spent a lot of money to build.
The world only knows that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are good at attacking and fighting in the wild, but they don't know that they are also good at sneaking in and destroying.
Under the leadership of Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others put their reflective armor and helmets in a hidden place in advance. Wearing only a layer of light leather armor, holding swords and short crossbows, they walked through a gap in the city wall of Jiangling that had not been completely repaired. Crawling upward.
These tiger and leopard soldiers held a short knife in their mouths and a short knife in each hand. Each knife was inserted into the gap in the soil of the city wall, and they climbed up step by step.
Late at night has come. Although Lu Xun did not relax. Even late at night, he arranged two teams of soldiers to patrol the city. However, these soldiers did not play their due role. Some were napping and some were fishing. Due to the cold weather, many soldiers People even put their spears and halberds on the ground and put their hands into each other's clothes to keep warm.
Cao Ren and Cao Chun took the lead and climbed to the top of the city. They were hunched over in the shadows and could not be noticed by the soldiers patrolling the city not far away.
Cao Ren winked at his brother, who was a compatriot from the same mother, and the latter tacitly detoured in the other direction.
In the sky, a dark cloud suddenly blocked the moonlight, causing the city's sight to fall into darkness for an instant.
At this moment, Cao Ren moved, Cao Chun moved, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also moved.
They swung out the short knives in their hands, and each sword was accompanied by a groan. When the dark clouds faded and the moonlight fell on the city again, most of the soldiers patrolling the city had fallen down.
"There is an enemy attacking at night! There is an enemy...!"
A patrol soldier wanted to shout in horror to alert his companions, but as soon as he turned around, a flying short knife pierced his vest, killing him instantly.
Cao Chun walked to the corpse of the patrolling soldier, stepped on him, then took out the short knife, wiped it clean on the corpse, and waved: "Let's go, divide the soldiers into two groups, take down the city gate along the way, and take down the city gate together. Setting fires everywhere and causing chaos.”
The tiger and leopard knights remained silent, just nodded, and then filed down from the inside of the city wall.
After a while, fire broke out all over Jiangling City, and the shouts of killing came from far to near. Many people were awakened by the fire or shouts. Although they didn't know why, they were also affected by the atmosphere and ran around in the streets.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack at night! Someone set fire to the granary, please come and put out the fire!"
Since Cao Ren was quite familiar with the architectural layout of Jiangling City, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could set fire to granaries, barracks, and several important intersections very accurately, doubling the effect of causing riots.
"Don't panic, someone will guard the city gate, and the rest will extinguish the flames in the city. The enemy cannot easily enter the city. This is only done by a small number of enemy troops. With the strength of our city and the strong walls, it will not be a problem to defend it for dozens of days. How is it possible? We were captured overnight, so don’t panic!”
Lu Xun drew his sword and tried his best to maintain the chaos of the soldiers.
Although he is still young, he has always been by Zhou Yu's side, and he is naturally smart. Even in the face of this sudden chaos, he can still remain calm and command well.
"It is said that Zhou Yu has always been accompanied by a young general from the Lu family. He is young and mature, and his future is bright. It turns out that it is true today."
Just when Lu Xun was commanding his sergeants to respond, he discovered that an enemy had appeared at the door of his garrison.
"Cao Ren? You are Cao Ren! You didn't escape, why are you here?"
Cao Ren, who was as strong as a human-shaped giant bear, took a step forward. Under the firelight, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"How could I escape so easily? The Prime Minister asked me to guard Jiangling, so I will guard Jiangling. Anyone who comes will have no choice but to return with hatred, including Zhou Yu from Jiangdong, including Liu Bei. Even if I withdraw temporarily, it is to lure you into the game. Let’s return Jiangling today!”
Cao Ren held a sword in one hand and a shield taken from the defenders in the other, and drove towards Lu Xun like a tank.
"Quickly, send someone to inform the Governor that Cao Ren has not retreated and has come back to fight!"
Although Lu Xun was young and mature, he still lacked combat experience. Facing an old and monstrous general like Cao Ren who was good at fighting, he showed an expression of fear for the first time.
"Boom boom~"
Like an angry rhinoceros, Cao Ren picked up speed and knocked everyone in his way to the ground. Cao Chun, holding a short crossbow, protected his brother's wings and followed closely behind him.
Although the soldiers around Lu Xun had an advantage in numbers, the enemy came from the tiger and leopard cavalry. With one hundred elite soldiers standing in their way, Lu Xun and the Soochow soldiers fought and retreated on this blazing night. Cao Ren was defeated by Cao Ren in one breath. They were driven out of the south city gate and were in a state of disarray.
"Ho~! Ho~! Ho~!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, with a solemn expression and murderous intent, took advantage of the chaos in the city to drive Lu Xun directly out of Jiangling even though they were not numerically superior.
At this moment, Cao Ren stood on the city gate, laughing loudly as he watched the Jiangdong soldiers fleeing. He turned around and patted Cao Chun on the shoulder and said: "Close the city gate and put out the fire. The children of Jiangdong are not worthy of concern."
"Crunch~~"
The gate of Jiangling City slammed shut, and Cao Ren took his brothers and five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to receive the defeated troops in the city and pacify the people.
"Hehehehe~ Jiangdong rats must have never imagined that Jiangling, which they just acquired, would be lost so quickly. It's all thanks to you and the brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Report this to the Prime Minister, and you should be credited with the first contribution~!"
Cao Ren was in a good mood, threw his sword and shield to the soldiers around him, and strode into the garrison in the city.
But as soon as he walked into the lobby, he was suddenly shocked and stopped in place.
Because there was someone sitting in the Jiangling garrison for some time, a person he had seen from a distance in Changbanpo.
"Zhao Yi? Are you the legendary immortal disciple of Liu Bei, Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei!?"
Yes, it is Zhao Yi who is sitting in the garrison at the moment. He is sitting in the middle with his big horse and golden sword. Standing next to him are Lu Lingqi, Ma Liu, Samoko and others. These people all have rifles in their hands and are half-kneeling in the front row. , standing in the back row, using the classic formation for daily training, two-stage shooting.
Zhao Yi crossed his legs and said: "General Cao, welcome, welcome to my Jiangling City. Thank you for your hard work. You stayed up all night and lit fires everywhere. You also helped me drive away Lu Xun. I really did it for my father-in-law." thank you all."
"Zhao Yi...how did you know that I would attack the city tonight? And how did you sneak in? Do you really know how to do it?"
Zhao Yi curled his lips and nodded, pinched his fingers like a magic stick and said: "General Cao is General Cao. Since you have already said it, why bother asking? Yes, since I, Zhao Yi, am a disciple of the immortal, there is no reason why I can't Fortune telling, I watched the sky at night, the tiger's body trembled, the chrysanthemums tightened, and I learned that General Cao was going to attack Jiangling tonight, no, I brought my brothers who stayed up all night to celebrate you."
Cao Ren's eyes turned cold, but his steps moved back silently. He had seen Zhao Yi across from him before. No one could get into him in Changbanpo that day, even Gao Lan was attracted by this. People had their heads blown off.
Zhao Yi saw that the other party wanted to escape, so he raised his hand gently and said: "Brothers, since it is a celebration, how can we not set off some firecrackers? Come, let us congratulate General Cao Ren on capturing Jiangling, and fire another one for them on the way. farewell party."
As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, Ma Liu shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
