Zhang Fei and Pang De each led more than a thousand elite troops into Cao's camp. These elite soldiers were all well-equipped and had strong horses. After entering the camp, they took advantage of the panic and ran and cut while moving forward without stopping at all. Their purpose was just to cause trouble in the camp. of riots.
Because Cao Jun had assembled 100,000 troops at this time, and coupled with the fatigue and laziness of a day's march, it was not easy to immediately issue orders and bans when encountering a big commotion, because these 100,000 troops were composed of more than 30 troops, such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. Each general is responsible for only a few armies.
Each army has 3,200 soldiers, but there are hundreds of officers at all levels responsible for command, including one general, two lieutenants, four lieutenants, eight military commanders, 16 Quhou, and 30 officers Two, sixty-four at the head of the team, and three hundred and twenty at the head of the fire.
During the war, soldiers used war drums, bells, horns, flags, etc. to execute military orders and execute orders and prohibitions according to the will of the commander. However, when visibility is poor and there is sudden chaos, various orders cannot be carried out in a short time. The role can only be achieved by officers at all levels restraining their own people through scolding and other methods.
There are more than 10,000 officers among the 100,000 soldiers. Once there is a commotion, they all shout at the same time, and a mixed sound instantly forms in the sky above the camp. The soldiers are already panicking and cannot hear the orders at this time. The soldiers with poor psychological quality have begun to flee for their lives, and then the impact They went to a nearby camp to prepare their troops. The chaos in the camp continued to intensify as Zhang Fei and Pang De went deeper.
The army responsible for guarding the camp was blocked by the chaotic and panicked crowd. In addition, each army was fighting independently in panic, and was unable to effectively encircle the invading enemy. The horse's hooves trampled on the earthen stove and sparks flew up, so that nearby soldiers The tents suffered damage, and the horses that had been tied up got loose for some reason. They were frightened by the fire and ran wildly in the camp.
People are running, horses are trampling, knives are hacking, and fire is splashing everywhere in the scene, and the sound effects of crying, fighting, and scolding are all around.
Half an hour later, Zhang Fei and Pang De rushed out of Cao Ying and met at the predetermined location.
"It's so satisfying. I killed at least 50 or 60 people on this trip. Including the others, the total number of enemies killed should be over a thousand. I just counted the number of people and lost more than 30 horses. How are you doing there?" Zhang Feile Hehehe asked.
Pang De held the reins and shook his head, "We were just riding horses in the camp. We didn't count how many enemies we killed, but I only lost five of the thousand horses I brought into the camp."
"The battle loss rate is so low? Even if you don't kill many enemies, Cao's soldiers will still fight against each other and trample on each other. In short, this deal will not be a loss." Zhang Fei nodded to comfort.
Pang De then added: "What the three generals said is that we accidentally found Cao Ying's stables, so we drove out thousands of war horses. They ran rampant in the dark. I'm afraid we suffered a lot of losses."
Zhang Fei was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, I am still showing off in front of you, but in the end the clown turned out to be me?
"Wonderful, Ling Ming, how did you come up with this idea?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Before departure, sir reminded me..." Pound answered truthfully.
Zhang Fei frowned and complained: "Ziyu is really not interesting. He doesn't even teach me such clever tricks..."
"Uh... maybe it's because I'm familiar with horses and the areas where they are tied up when they set up camp, so I reminded you on purpose," Pound replied.
Zhang Fei muttered: "That must be the case. How many ideas does Ziyu have in his mind? I want to sleep with him at night, so don't teach me more to prevent him from sleeping."
Pang De was speechless after hearing this, thinking to himself, Lantian and Gao Shun were in the same camp and sleeping on different beds. How could they sleep next to each other with you? He suddenly remembered the rumors about Liu Ba in Shu, and his body shivered inadvertently.
There are tiger and leopard cavalry camps near Cao Cao's main tent, and the protection of Xu Chu's tiger guards is not affected at all.
"Yawn..." Cao Cao looked outside the tent and sneezed. After more than two hours of commotion, the entire Cao Cao camp finally calmed down, and all the officials and generals gathered in the main tent.
In order to prevent Zhang Fei and Pang De from returning, all armies arranged for soldiers to be on guard and patrol at night. Originally, they could safely leave the camp before nightfall, but they were inexplicably tortured until now. According to the counting of each battalion, more than a thousand people were killed directly. The soldiers, armies collided and trampled on each other, and the horses ran wildly in the camp, causing a total of 3,000 indirect casualties, and some of the horses have not been recovered yet.
"King Wei, please put on your fur robe. The north wind is biting in the first month, so be careful not to let the cold air penetrate your skin." Yang Xiu took the fur robe from the shelf and put it on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sat down with a gloomy expression, looking at the civil servants and generals in the tent, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Guan Yunchang is indeed not an ordinary person. Our army dares to rob the camp before we have a stable foothold..."
"Your Majesty, based on Zhang Liao's guess, the cavalry just now intended to cause chaos, not to seize the flag and rob the camp. The reason why they were able to escape smoothly has a lot to do with the scouts during the day." Zhang Liao said with fists in his hands.
"Wen Yuan is saying that those lingering scouts told Guan Yu how to build and lay out my camp, so that they could let the attacking cavalry enter the camp to cause trouble, and finally find the weak points in the defense and escape unscathed?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.
"Of course." Zhang Liao nodded.
Cao Cao raised his eyes and said, "Is Guan Yunchang so powerful?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget that Xuan Owl Lan Ziyu, Sun Quan said he has unpredictable powers..." Yang Xiu reminded quickly.
Zhao Yan then echoed: "Whether it's the ghostly scouts or those fantastic strategies, I have never fought against Guan Yu before. Master Yang's words are very reasonable."
After hearing this, Cao Cao turned to look at Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others. When he saw them all nodding in agreement with Zhao Yan, he knew that Lan Tian was a difficult opponent.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao frowned, thinking that Liu Bei had advisers, didn't Gu Gu? Although Xun You, the most powerful conspirator, died of illness, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others can all be relied on. Even Sima Yi, the rising star in the tent, is also very resourceful.
At this time, Jia Xu and Liu Ye were assisting Cao Pi in Yecheng, and Cheng Yu, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, and Yang Xiu were with the army as counselors in military affairs. Cao Cao seemed to be missing something when he looked around in thought.
"Where is Zhongde?" Cao Cao finally realized that Cheng Yu was missing.
Jiang Ji stood up and held up his hands and said: "Zhongde is old. He may have been a little frightened by the chaos in the camp just now. I will go and take a look."
Cao Cao thought about Cheng Yu's courage, how could he be frightened by such a small disturbance? Although he was a little overwhelmed after reactivating it, I still feel grateful when I think of his previous contributions.
"Zitong is right. Zhongde is nearly eighty years old, so he may be old. You can take the doctor from my camp with you. If you have any problems, they can be cured."
"only."
Jiang Ji left everyone to continue discussing the battle plan, but after a while Jiang Ji came back crying.
"Why are you the only one?" Cao Cao looked confused.
"Zhongde just heard about the robbery of the camp and ran out of the tent to restrain the panicked soldiers around him. Unfortunately, he was knocked to the ground by a frightened horse and his internal organs were trampled. He vomited blood and died on the spot..." Jiang Ji cried.
