Just when Xu He was thinking hard, another general under him said,
"General, I have an idea!"
"Oh? Say it quickly!"
Xu He perked up and urged.
"General, our army has a total of 30,000 people, and Cao's army opposite is only 3,000 people."
"We can divide into three teams and take turns to keep vigil."
Xu He's eyes lit up.
yes.
I have 30,000 people. Even if I divide them into three teams to keep vigil, and take turns to rest, wouldn’t that be the end of it? !
If I had known this, why would I be chasing Cao Jun today?
How stupid!
"This is a great plan, just do as you say!"
Xu He finally made up his mind.
He immediately followed the general's suggestion and divided his troops into three teams.
After everything was arranged, Xu He breathed a sigh of relief.
Looks like you can have a good rest tonight.
The sky quickly became dark.
Except for the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the first night guard, the rest of the Yellow Turban Army returned to their tents and fell asleep.
After all, they haven't had a good rest since last night.
Xu He suppressed his sleepiness and inspected the general camp again. After repeatedly admonishing his generals, he also returned to his tent and fell asleep.
The night became darker and darker.
Not long after the Yellow Turban Army took over the post, some soldiers noticed that there was a figure flashing not far away!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The sentry immediately beat gongs and drums to warn the camp.
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Zhao Yun no longer hesitated and shouted loudly,
"The whole army attacks!"
He led thousands of Cao Cao's troops, like tigers pouncing on prey, and rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army's camp, shouting to kill.
Fortunately, Xu He arranged for 10,000 people to hold a vigil.
After hearing the movement, these yellow scarf troops came out to fight.
The two sides instantly fought together!
Although Cao's army was well-equipped and led by fierce generals like Zhao Yun, the Yellow Turban Army was too numerous.
The Yellow Turban Army who were resting in the camp also hurried out to support them after being awakened.
After a while, Zhao Yun, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, fell into a bitter battle.
Seeing that the night attack on the Yellow Turban Army camp failed, Zhao Yun did not hesitate to fight and quickly ordered,
"withdraw!"
Cao's army fought and retreated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and followed Zhao Yun out of the Yellow Turban Army's camp.
Just when the shouts of killing stopped, Xu He, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, arrived belatedly.
"What happened?"
"Reporting to the general, Cao Jun just attacked our camp at night. Fortunately, the general ordered three shifts to stop them in time."
A military commander laughed and said,
"Our army suffered less than a hundred casualties and killed more than two hundred of Cao's army!"
"very good!"
Xu He was overjoyed and felt that the frustration he had felt in the past two days was gone!
Cao Jun on the opposite side was also cunning enough.
Knowing that we haven’t had a good rest in the past few days, we specially chose tonight to come for a night attack!
Fortunately, I was prepared!
Xu He looked at his generals and soldiers and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your hard work tonight, the Japanese general will host a banquet to celebrate you tomorrow!"
"Thank you, General!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
Xu He stretched and planned to go back to his tent to sleep.
Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, and then left.
The Yellow Turban Army's camp soon became quiet again.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, after Cao's army failed in the night attack and suffered losses, it should at least stop tonight.
Therefore, both Xu He and the generals and soldiers below relaxed their vigilance.
Even the sentries responsible for keeping watch began to doze off while leaning on things.
No one noticed that in the darkness, Cao Jun who had retreated quietly came back.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was midnight, which was around five o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the sky has not yet broken, and there is only a trace of fish belly white in the distance.
The sentries responsible for keeping vigil were all sleepy after a night of vigilance, and some even fell asleep.
At this moment, Cao Jun launched an attack!
This time.
Zhao Yun did not make a big fanfare, but quietly led his soldiers close to the Yellow Turban Army's camp.
Those sentries who were dozing had no time to react and were easily killed in their sleep!
After dealing with the vigilant Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yun immediately led his soldiers and poured into the camp like a tide.
While they killed the sleeping Yellow Turbans, they set fire to tents and other debris.
Within a short time, the entire Yellow Turban Army camp was ablaze with fire!
It was only then that some of the Yellow Turban soldiers woke up and rushed out of the tent in a panic, naked, wanting to see what happened.
However, what greeted them was Cao Jun's ruthless and sharp weapons!
As the fire grew stronger, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers woke up.
They could see the raging fire and rushed forward to put it out.
But how could Zhao Yun let them get what they wanted?
He was seen holding a gentian bright silver spear, rushing into the enemy like a swimming dragon.
Wherever it went, blood shot into the sky, and Yellow Turban corpses lay everywhere!
Cao's army also used the fire to charge and kill wantonly in the Yellow Turban camp.
This point is when people are most sleepy.
In addition, the Yellow Turban Army, which had not had a good rest in the past few days and was tired and sleepy, was no match for Zhao Yun and the others, and was beaten back and forth.
It was only then that Xu He was awakened by his own soldiers.
He put on his armor in a panic and walked outside.
When they saw the chaotic scene in the camp, everyone was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
A military general rushed over in a hurry,
"General..."
"What happened?"
Xu He asked loudly.
"Just now, Cao Jun took advantage of our unpreparedness and launched another attack..."
"What?!"
Xu He's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
Didn't Cao's army attack the camp once before and be repulsed?
Why did they attack the camp again?
Xu He's heart sank when he heard the shouts of killing coming from all directions.
Could it be that Cao Jun's first attack on the camp was just an illusion, but he was preparing for the second time!
Yes, absolutely!
Zhao Zilong on the opposite side is so cunning!
Xu He gritted his teeth in anger, and the blood vessels on his forehead were pulsing.
But he was still angry, and he knew in his heart that he still had to think quickly to clean up the current mess.
Even if Cao's army succeeds in attacking the camp, they can only survive with 3,000 men. As long as the soldiers are gathered together, there is still hope for a comeback!
Thinking of this, Xu He said in a deep voice,
"Pass my military order to immediately retreat to the open space north of the military camp and reorganize your forces!"
"Here!"
Several soldiers quickly took orders and left.
Xu He was not idle either. He led his soldiers and hurriedly rushed north.
All the Yellow Turban soldiers he met along the way were gathered together by him.
Within a short time, thousands of people gathered behind Xu He.
Seeing the open space to the north of the camp, not far away, he felt happy.
However, at this moment, a sharp shout suddenly came,
"The enemy general shall not leave!"
