Yu Jin was half angry in the camp, but Xu Chu was very happy now.
As early as when the rain stopped, Xu Chu planned to go to Yu Jin and ask Yu Jin to send troops to continue attacking Guan Yu. He would be the vanguard and must achieve this unparalleled feat.
But as soon as he got close to Yu Jin's camp, he saw Zhu Ling coming out with the order.
Xu Chu quickly stepped forward to stop him and asked Zhu Ling what his military order was.
Zhu Ling didn't want to offend Xu Chu. After all, his current situation was not good and he was lying flat.
So he told Xu Chu Yu Jin's military order.
As a result, Xu Chu took Zhu Ling's military order without saying a word, went to the camp in person and ordered 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, a total of 5,000 people, to go to Guan Yu's camp.
Of course, Xu Chu didn't go to explore the camp, he just went to attack Guan Yu's camp.
Although this guy doesn't know much about military command, he at least knows that cavalry alone is not suitable for attacking a camp, and he also knows to bring two thousand infantry with him.
But when he led his troops to the vicinity of Guan Yu's camp, he was shocked to find that Guan Yu was moving.
To be correct, this is Guan Yu moving camp.
There was a lot of noise in Guan Yu's camp. It felt like most of the sergeants had evacuated, leaving only some logistics troops still carrying some food, grass, and other supplies.
When Xu Chu saw this situation, he suddenly became anxious.
If Guan Yu runs away, won't his credit be lost? !
Xu Chu is now not sure whether Guan Yu set up another camp or retreated by boat.
If he just set up another camp, then Xu Chu would still have a chance to achieve unparalleled achievements, but if he ran away by boat, then Xu Chu's achievements would be gone.
So, Xu Chu used his little brain a little at this time and decided to launch an attack on Guan Yu's camp in time.
Even if Guan Yu escapes, then he captures his camp and captures some of Guan Yu's soldiers. Speaking of it afterwards, the reputation for repelling Guan Yu belongs to Xu Chu, and he cannot escape.
As for whether this camp is fraudulent and whether it will be ambushed by Guan Yu, this is something that a strategic general like Yu Jin and Zhu Ling will consider, but Xu Chu really won't think about it so much.
Just go ahead.
Xu Chu immediately asked the cavalry to launch an attack, and the infantry followed suit.
As for the heavy troops in the camp, when they saw Xu Chu launching an attack, they did not immediately flee. Instead, they closed the camp gate and guarded the camp.
On both sides of the five thousand soldiers led by Xu Chu, two armies did appear, each with about three thousand men. The flags of the leading generals had the word "Zhang" written on them.
On the left is Zhang Yi and on the right is Zhang Xi.
The second master personally came on stage and used his reputation to stimulate Xu Chu to take risks and provoke conflicts between Yu Jin and Xu Chu. Then Zhang Xi couldn't care too much about his reputation.
So, he and Zhang Yi, one on the left and the other on the right, set up an ambush and "faked defeat".
Moreover, things like cheating are also very technical.
You see, the second master suppressed Yu Jin in spite of the danger of Xu Chu attacking the central army. He did not withdraw his troops until Yu Jin could no longer withstand it. This could not only give Xu Chu the illusion that he was "about to make a contribution", but also prevent his soldiers from suffering too many casualties. big.
Now, Zhang Xi plans to use the same trick when he sends troops to "fake defeat".
Zhang Yi was responsible for attracting the attention of Xu Chu's cavalry and blocking the enemy with spear formations and shields, while Zhang Xi led the troops on the other side to encircle and suppress the two thousand infantry brought by Xu Chu.
If another general was leading the army, Zhang Xi really wouldn't dare to play like this. After all, military strength is not an advantage. The opponent also has three thousand cavalry. This might not be a false defeat, but a real defeat.
But, the person leading the army is Xu Chu.
After several observations of Xu Chu, both Guan Yu and Zhang Xi were sure that apart from being reckless, he had no ability to lead troops in battle.
Therefore, dealing with Xu Chu is actually very simple. As long as you find someone to attract Xu Chu's attention, he will take the lead in attacking. Once Xu Chu starts to attack, there will be no rules and regulations, and it will all depend on the free play of the sergeants.
Therefore, to deal with Xu Chu, as long as Xu Chu's first few attacks are blocked, Xu Chu will not have the concept of regrouping when the cavalry formation behind him is scattered. Such cavalry will not pose any threat.
As for the infantry led by Xu Chu, that is better to deal with.
Xu Chu followed the cavalry back and forth, and he did not authorize the lieutenant colonel. How could the colonel command two thousand people to fight in a coordinated manner? !
Besides, Zhang Xi is not afraid even if he has authorization.
The 3,000 men Zhang Xi brought out this time were elite soldiers who were skilled in the Yuanyang Formation and had changed their wolf swords into spears and their long knives into Miao knives. Their strength was still superior. Let’s put it this way, even if the two thousand infantrymen are now The commander is Xia Houyuan, and Zhang Xi is not a coward, let alone a mere school captain.
Therefore, Zhang Xi successfully defeated the infantry brought by Xu Chu. However, the three thousand cavalry led by Xu Chu himself rushed into the formation in a messy formation, but still failed to break through Zhang Yi's shield formation.
Even so, Zhang Yi also suffered some losses, which were basically caused by Xu Chu's cavalry's previous charge. After all, the cavalry formation led by Xu Chu was still relatively complete at that time, causing Zhang Yi four to five hundred casualties. .
But after that, not to mention Zhang Yi, even ordinary soldiers were able to deal with this group of cavalry with scattered formations and greatly reduced offensive impact.
This made Xu Chu a little anxious and angry.
Because the current battlefield development is a little different from what he thought.
In Xu Chu's strategic concept, he led the cavalry to attack a group of infantry, which should be broken by a single charge, and then he could pursue and kill the defeated troops.
And his own infantry should be able to defeat another group of infantry at this time, occupy the camp left by Guan Yu, and achieve such a great feat as seizing the stronghold.
After all, Cao's army dominates the world. Apart from suffering some losses on the water, it has always been synonymous with strong combat effectiveness.
Even in the Battle of Chibi, Xu Chu, because he heard Cao Cao talk about it so much, really believed that Cao Jun burned his ships and retreated because of the plague, and was not defeated by Zhou Yu.
Therefore, in Xu Chu's mind, the operation of Cao's army to defeat other princes' armies was probably similar to - frame, draw A, and then play GG on the opposite side.
But now, the cavalry he led not only failed to defeat the same number of infantry, but his own infantry were even scattered by others. Xu Chu didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, although Xu Chu didn't know how to let the cavalry form a formation, he knew that the most important thing for cavalry was speed, so he never stopped. Seeing that his infantry was about to be chased and killed, he quickly took the dozen or so soldiers who were still around him. A cavalry pawn went over to rescue the infantry.
To be honest, for a moment, Zhang Xi thought about whether to just keep this guy with a muddy mind.
How can anyone who comes with a dozen cavalry to face thousands of infantry really think that the crossbowmen in our army are vegetarians? !
But Zhang Xi quickly gave up this tempting idea.
With the level Xu Chu showed, killing him would actually help Yu Jin a lot. The really difficult person is Yu Jin, not Xu Chu.
Besides, this Xu Chu is of great use.
Therefore, when Zhang Xi saw Xu Chu coming to rescue, he ordered his soldiers to defend with shields and spears, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to give up chasing Cao's infantry and close their formation.
Afterwards, he helped Zhang Yi break away from the battle and slowly retreated.
The food, grass and baggage troops in the camp had already retreated during the battle. Now the camp is an empty camp. It is amazing that there are still a few flags and drums left. These things were deliberately left behind to prepare for Xu Chu. of "trophies".
At this time, Xu Chu finally had some brains and combat experience. Instead of pursuing the enemy, he sent people to gather his troops and organize them.
Then, when Zhang Xi led his army to retreat, Xu Chu looked at the empty camp in front of him and hesitated for the first time.
These Jingzhou troops have become more and more difficult to deal with since the battle. Is it possible that it is really what that guy Yu Jin said? Is there some conspiracy behind this? !
But with Xu Chu's mind, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy there could be in an empty camp.
Therefore, Xu Chu chose to enter Guan Yu's empty camp, occupy the camp, and then sent someone to report to Yu Jin, saying that he had defeated the Jingzhou army and occupied Guan Yu's camp, so that Yu Jin could come to respond quickly.
This time, Xu Chuzhen didn't mean to be arrogant. He just said that he defeated the Jingzhou army. Although he occupied Guan Yu's camp, he was afraid that he would be unable to support himself, so he asked Yu Jin to at least send someone to help him, otherwise He cannot hold this camp alone.
But the soldiers reported back to Yu Jin, and Yu Jin heard that Xu Chu was here to show off and ridicule him.
Yu Jin was still angry at first, thinking about how to pursue Xu Chu for seizing military power, but Xu Chu reported back, saying that he had defeated Guan Yu and occupied Guan Yu's camp.
This news made Yu Jin laugh angrily.
you? ! just you? !
A mere guard defeated the famous general Guan Yu and captured Guan Yu's camp? !
This is the funniest joke Yu Jin has heard this year.
But this is Xu Chu, the brainless Xu Chu.
Xu Chu's character would not lie about military information and claim credit, so what Xu Chu said is most likely true.
But if this was true, Yu Jin immediately panicked and quickly mobilized thousands of troops, mainly cavalry, and quickly rushed to Guan Yu's camp.
From Yu Jin's point of view, given Xu Chu's ability, it was impossible to defeat Guan Yu and seize Guan Yu's camp. There was only one possibility in this situation, and that was that Guan Yu used the camp to set up an ambush and prepare to encircle and annihilate Xu Chu.
Not to mention that Xu Chu brought 5,000 men, accounting for one-sixth of the entire army, but Xu Chu could never die in battle.
The front foot just apologized to the King of Wei and told the conflict between himself and Xu Chu. He was still waiting for the King of Wei to reply, but the back foot Xu Chu died in battle. What did the King of Wei think? !
Therefore, even if he didn't like it, Yu Jin could only order Zhu Ling to stay in the city and lead thousands of cavalry to rush to the rescue.
But when Jin rushed to Guan Yu's camp in a hurry, he did not see Xu Chu being besieged.
On the contrary, the original camp of Guan Yu had indeed planted the flag of the Wei army.
Yu Jin was confused for a while. After leading the sergeants into the camp, he saw Xu Chu alone, sitting carelessly on the main seat of the central military tent, looking at Yu Jin blankly.
When he saw Yu Jin entering the camp, he not only showed no expression, but also put on a sneer expression.
Yu Jin's face turned ugly again.
