Yuan Shao actually attacked at night at this time!
Chen Zhou was surprised. He went outside and took a look. He saw various noisy shouts of killing coming from the direction of the former army camp and the camp gate. Cao Jun seemed to be caught off guard. He hurriedly fought back and asked: "Can the army still handle it?"
Dian Wei nodded and said: "We can deal with it. My lord and the others are commanding the resistance. Yuan Shao can't kill them. The front army is temporarily stable."
It's okay if Yuan Shao can't kill him, but...
Chen Zhou looked at the soldiers in the rear who were responsible for protecting the food and grass around him. They all picked up their weapons and nervously launched defenses, preparing to protect the food and grass. He said to himself: "The food and grass..."
Yuan Shao suddenly attacked at night. He thought it would not just attack the front army.
Because even if it is a sneak attack, it is difficult to gain an advantage over the front army. Then it is possible that during the night attack, the front army will attract attention and do other things behind the scenes, such as imitating the burning of food and grass in Wuchao. The odds are high.
It is also a relatively common operation to attack a camp and take advantage of the chaos to burn the enemy's food and fodder.
Thinking of Cheng Yu's ambush plan from all sides, Chen Zhou thought of it and thought it could be used together with tonight's plan. He quickly said: "Everyone, come together to move the food and grass!"
"ah?"
After Wang Jie heard this, he asked puzzledly: "Sir, why do we need to move grain and grass? Where can we move it?"
Generally speaking, when the enemy attacks at night, as soldiers transporting and guarding food, they should not do all the defenses and guard the food and grass. It would not be right to suddenly remove the food and grass!
"Move to the Chinese Army Camp."
Chen Zhou thought quickly. The front army was attacked. The middle army was currently the safest. The rear army might also be in danger and safety could not be guaranteed.
Most of the food and grass are stored in the rear army, where it is easy for the enemy to find them.
"Mobilize everyone, move all the food and grass to the central army, and take action immediately!"
Chen Zhou shouted.
When Dian Wei saw that Wang Wei and the others were hesitant, he shouted: "Sir, if you are asked to move, just move! When has anything you said wrong been done? Move it all!"
He trusted Chen Zhou unconditionally. Since he said he wanted to move, it must make sense.
Wang Jie and the others felt that this was right.
As a result, the entire rear army's soldiers, except for necessary defense and the scouts sent out, basically started to move.
Half of their food and grass were placed in the car and half on the ground.
Those on the car were moved very quickly, and those on the ground were loaded into the car again. As the number of people increased, it was not very slow. They moved to the Chinese army camp one after another. The soldiers who stayed behind in the Chinese army camp learned that this was Chen Zhou's He didn't dare to stop him despite the order, and allowed the food and grass to be moved over.
When we moved about two-thirds of the way, we could hear the fighting sounds of the former army continuing, and there was an increasingly intense feeling.
The Yuan army who came over seemed to be fighting more fiercely. The Cao army who resisted and resisted was also fighting fiercely. The sound of killing was echoing in the dark night.
"Sir, it's not good!"
A scout ran back and said: "We found that there were lights outside the rear army camp, about three miles away, as if there were enemies approaching us."
"They will really attack the food and grass."
Chen Zhou was more sure of his conjecture, thought for a moment and said: "Take out our bed crossbow, resist the enemy for a while, and then wait for my order."
"yes!"
The scout took the order and went down to tell the other soldiers.
Chen Zhou looked at the grain that was still being transported around him. They heard that the enemy was coming to attack the rear army, and the transportation speed was getting faster and faster. They did not dare to stop, and said again: "If evil comes, you also lead the troops to stop it." , I’m safe here.”
Dian Wei led hundreds of tiger warriors and walked out of the rear army camp.
Chen Zhou stood in the camp, urging the soldiers to speed up. After waiting for a while, there was a cry of killing coming from outside the rear camp.
After the sneak attack, the enemy who had been hiding from the army finally came to his side.
"Hurry up and bring up some straw and dead grass."
"It was piled near the tent and where the food was originally stored."
"Come here and have a few people move things away between the rear army and the center army, and create a path to separate the fire, so as to prevent the sea of fire from spreading to the center army."
"Same here, move things away and separate the two camps as much as possible!"
Chen Zhou kept giving instructions, shouting until his voice became hoarse.
If the enemy wants to sneak attack on food and grass, under this premise, the most effective sneak attack is to set fire to it. If the enemy wants to sneak attack and then move away, this is impossible.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing became louder and louder in the rear army.
The soldiers guarding the grain and grass first used bed crossbows to block the enemy. However, loading the bed crossbow was extremely troublesome. The arrow shaft was shot out, and they had to wait for a while to load it again. At this time, the enemy rushed over again, so all they had to do was rely on Dian Wei and the others fought hand to hand.
There are five thousand soldiers in the rear army, which is enough to hold them back for a while.
In addition, Cao's army's new weapons are now almost everywhere in the army. Even the weapons used by the soldiers in the rear are also new, and they still have an advantage in killing.
Dian Wei held a pair of iron halberds, and killed an enemy with one halberd. He led the tiger soldiers on a rampage, killing the enemy with fear, and greatly boosting their morale. When they were almost killed, a military lord shouted: "Retreat!"
The defensive soldiers of Cao's army retreated at the same time.
At this time, the bed crossbow was ready again.
The thick arrow shaft was shot out, and the iron piece on the tip of the arrow instantly broke open the bodies of countless enemies. It frightened the Yuan Jun soldiers and made them retreat for a while, but they quickly came back to kill them.
"How many enemies have come?"
Chen Zhou walked to the edge, glanced outside, and asked worriedly.
A scout said: "According to judgment, there should be 10,000 people."
Ten thousand people!
The quantity seems a bit too much.
But it can still be blocked.
Chen Zhou looked at Wang Jie and urged: "Hurry up, tell them not to stop, and transport the food as soon as possible. This is a great achievement, hurry up!"
Wang E was also urging the soldiers to move food quickly.
After a while, he ran over and said, "Sir, we're done."
"Sure?"
"OK, everything is done!"
"Send an order to Lao Dian and the others to let the enemy in. We will fight while retreating towards the central army. The straw, dead grass, and tents here will be left for the enemy to burn."
Chen Zhou ordered down: "But don't let the enemy get a chance to get close to the Chinese army, take action!"
"yes!"
The scout received the order and went down to pass it on to the resisting officers.
Dian Wei was killing with great interest at this time, and his iron halberd was almost stained red with blood.
The soldiers who were resisting were ordered to retreat and let the enemy in. They pretended to be defeated and retreated in one fell swoop.
Among Yuan's troops, it was Jiang Yiqu who was responsible for sneak attacks on grain and grass.
They charged with all their strength, regardless of the arrow shafts of Cao Jun's crossbows, and tried their best to rush in. At this time, they finally saw signs of Cao Jun's defeat, and shouted: "Keep charging, if you get in, you will make a great contribution. I I will personally go to my lord to ask for the favor and kill him for you!"
After hearing this, Yuan Jun's soldiers rushed in with all their strength.
It was as if they had been given a shot of blood, and their fighting spirit was high.
Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. A soldier who does not want to make military achievements is not a good soldier.
