Cao Wu grabbed Ada and ran out of the tent. Ada yelled twice anxiously, but Cao Wu didn't care that she was dressed as a woman and hugged Ada out of the tent.
As soon as he came out, Cao Wucai discovered that the camp had been bombed outside, and people were shouting and moving everywhere.
Of course, the enemy couldn't have flown over. Near the river, blazing fire was burning and thick smoke was billowing into the sky.
There were always trumpets from the Chinese army, captains were riding horses and shouting in the army, and the soldiers were looking for their own troops. Slowly, the situation stabilized.
Cao Wu arrested a man and asked, "Who attacked the camp?"
The man didn't understand at all. He just looked at the woman in Cao Wu's arms with surprise on his face.
Cao Wu saw that the situation was not as critical as he had imagined, so he let the man go and asked Ada to go back and change clothes. He got on his horse and patrolled around the camp to avoid being attacked by the insurrectionary soldiers.
Ah Da knew the importance, so he put on his clothes after a while, took out the important things, and got on his little white horse.
Cao Wuyuan saw the big banner of "Dang bandit general Dutinghou Zhang" standing in the middle of the camp. Despite the chaos around him, the banner remained motionless and felt a little at ease.
"Let's go find Wenyuan!"
He pulled the reins and came to the central army with A Da.
Zhang Liao stood on horseback under the banner and listened to the reports from the various commanders.
Zhang Liao's guards recognized Cao Wu and let him in.
When Zhang Liao saw Cao Wu, he still listened to the commander's report and said: "General, don't panic, a few thieves came from the river, poured oil on fire, and burned some of the camp tents. The troops in the camp have been stabilized, and the casualties are being counted. "
In this era, there was no advanced communication equipment. The Chinese military flag, which was several feet high, was very important. When the flag was there, the generals were there, and the morale of the army could be stabilized. The generals in all directions only needed to act according to the flag's command.
But it is simple to say that when attacked suddenly, he could stabilize the central army, mobilize his command, and quickly suppress the chaos. Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were indeed first-class generals. This general can be ranked among the sixty-four famous generals throughout the ages, and his reputation is well-deserved.
There are two kinds of famous generals, such as Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, who stand in front of the formation with a horizontal sword, charge into the formation, destroy the city and build up the stronghold, and are invincible to those who stand in his way. One person can fight a thousand armies, this is one kind of thing.
For example, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are not known for their personal bravery, but sit in the middle of the army, meet the enemy on the battlefield, command and dispatch, strategize and win thousands of miles like an arm, which is another kind.
The good thing about Zhang Liao is that he can do both.
Cao Wu murmured: "As expected of Zhang Wenyuan who can make Jiangdong's children stop crying!"
"What cry?"
Zhang Liao didn't hear it clearly, but Ah Da heard it clearly and silently wrote down these words.
Cao Wudao: "Wen Yuan, do you know the situation of the other ministries?"
Zhang Liao shook his head: "It's not clear yet. General Lu Pian in front and Zhang Pingdi behind are both on fire, but it seems that the fire at the end of General Lu Pian is bigger."
Cao Wu nodded. Although Zhang He was not as good as Zhang Liao, he was still one of the five good generals. At the moment, all the Xia lords and Cao Cao were here, so they could not show up. His official position was still low, but he would still have the opportunity to shine in the future.
It's just a night attack. Zhang He has encountered it countless times in his life, so he should be fine.
For the other works, not to mention Yue Jin and Li Dian, who were famous in later generations, even Zhu Ling became a general in the Cao Pi Dynasty, so he was not worried.
What he was most worried about was Lu Zhaobu and Feng Kaibu. There was nothing he could do about it. He didn't even remember the names of these two guys. They were definitely not famous generals.
Seeing Cao Wusi, Zhang Liao said: "When our cavalry gathers, we will divide the troops into two groups. One thousand will go with me to the front for rescue, and one thousand will go with the general to the rear for rescue!"
Cao Wuyizhi deliberately left the easy-to-save things to himself, and Zhang Liao also had emotional intelligence.
However, at this time, children will choose a side, and adults choose: not to go at all!
He still has an important responsibility, so it is safest to stay in Zhang Liao's camp.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Ada first lowered his voice and said: "General Zhang, my general has not been recruited. It is against military law to lead troops. The two of us are fast, so why not go to General Lu's department to check first!"
After saying that, without waiting for Cao Wu to refuse, he whistled.
Usually Ada would feed the little red horse herself. As soon as she gave the signal, the little red horse would carry Cao Wu on its back and leave.
In Zhang Liao's eyes, he became the righteous general of Beifu. He went to dangerous places as a general. He was worthy of being the younger brother of the contemporary overlord Cao Cao. He couldn't help but admire Cao Wu's character and bravery even more.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly arranged military affairs, hoping to pursue Cao Wu as soon as possible.
Here, the duo of Cao and A have walked out of Zhang Liao's camp.
Cao Wubian slapped the traitor's red buttocks and asked, "Diao Chan, what are you doing!"
The two had been together for a long time, and Ah Da knew that if Cao Wu called her by his original name, or if she called Cao Wu a general, she would definitely be angry.
She said: "The army is unstable. This is the time for you to increase your prestige. If you come out at this time, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Cao Wu said helplessly: "I told you earlier, my brother Cao Ah Man, why should I improve the reputation of the region?"
Ah Da hated that iron could not become steel, so he rode forward.
Cao Wudao: "Besides, we still don't know what's going on with the Luzhao Department. If we go now, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"
Ah Da shook his head: "It doesn't matter, let's stay far away."
A Da's little white horse is not as good as Cao Wu's little red horse, but it is still a good horse.
The two of them moved very quickly and soon arrived at a mound not far from Lu Zhao's headquarters.
The two of them rode up the mound and saw the situation of the Luzhao Department.
A sea of fire.
First, in the Han River, all boats, ships, and boats were burning, and then on the shore, the tents closest to the shore were burned red.
Soldiers were running and shouting, and it was impossible to see where the signs were in the chaos.
Far away from the shore, elite Qingzhou soldiers have formed formations one after another, but they are scattered everywhere and cannot form a joint force at all. As for the troops and horses that Luzhao originally had, they were scattered everywhere.
The general couldn't find his soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find the general. Everyone was running around on the river beach.
Farther away from the river bank, there was a Qingzhou soldier's Qingzhou soldiers forming a formation to block it. There was a field of feather arrows in front of the square formation, and there were several corpses of soldiers. Soldiers who were caught in the sea of fire ran over and were immediately killed. The bow and arrow shot back.
Obviously, the captain of the Thousand-Man Team made this move in order to prevent his team from being scattered by the insurgents.
If he had never seen a battlefield, Cao Wu would definitely think that this group of Qingzhou soldiers were cold-blooded, but he could be considered a person who had experienced battles, and he knew deeply that this was a battlefield. If your team is dispersed, the outcome will be the same as those of mindless troops.
The Luzhao Department, which had been in high morale during the day, had now bombed the camp except for the thousand-man team, and was frightened by the fire in the middle of the night.
Ada frowned and said, "Why is the situation so serious!"
Cao Wu shook his head and sighed.
People are not saints, and no one can be hard-hearted. It is one thing not to come, but it is another thing not to save him after he comes. If he has the ability, he still hopes to save him. However, in this situation, what should he do? save?
While he was contemplating, he saw several torches floating on the river.
A line of fast boats came from upstream where Zhang Liao was.
Through the firelight, one could see the banners embroidered on the sails. Although they were all small boats, each one was extremely fast.
It was hard to see how many people were on the boat at night, but Cao Wu suddenly thought of a name.
"Jinfan Thief Gan Ning!"
As if to test his idea, someone on the speedboat on the river laughed.
Another round of arrows came, but because they were far away from the shore, they didn't hurt many people.
Cao Wu instantly understood that it was probably Gan Ning's night attack by boat that caused such a big incident.
Cao Wudao: "Actually, the enemy soldiers have not come ashore, so the threat is not great. But these soldiers have already blown up the camp, and they must be stabilized first."
Ah Da stared at the river and suddenly pointed at the boat: "The big banner of Lu Zhao is on the boat!"
Cao Wu took a look and saw that there was indeed a high flag floating on the boat. Because the flagpole was higher, it did not burn.
But with the fire in the middle, Cao Wu and the others could see it from the side hills, but they couldn't see it from the perspective of the garrison on the shore.
Cao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Wait here!"
After saying that, he pulled the reins, patted the little red horse's neck, lowered his head and said to her: "It's up to you!"
With a "hoo" sound, the little red horse galloped down the hill.
At the same time, Cao Wu saw a white light coming from the side, but it was not A Da, but Zhang Liao on a white horse and white helmet.
Zhang Liao was still far away and Cao Wulai could not say hello. He took the lead and galloped into the road to recruit the camp. His speed did not slow down and he headed straight into the sea of fire.
The little red horse meowed regularly as it walked through the burning camp.
Everyone in the Luzhao Department was in a mess, and no one thought to stop him. Only when one person and one horse passed by did they see this lightning-like figure.
The little red horse was as fast as thunder, stepping on the fire with its horse shoes, and came to the shore.
Cao Wu shouted: "Drive!"
Accelerating on the way down the hill, the little red horse jumped up from the shore.
An injured soldier was lying on the shore, and he saw this scene clearly. The little red horse and the general on the red horse flew up like gods, crossed the distance between the shore and the ship, and crashed into the burning building.
This scene remained a topic of conversation throughout his life until many years later.
Cao Wu, who was like a god, had no time to notice if anyone was looking at him. His whole body was burning hot.
The building and boat had undergone simple fire prevention. Although it was burning, it was not so burned that it could not be settled. Cao Wusi rode his horse to the front of the big banner.
I wanted to pull out the big scroll from its fixed place, but I couldn't do it even after trying.
Suddenly, there was a "whoop" and another heavy sound on the boat, and Ada's voice came: "Cao Wu, you don't want to die!"
As she said that, she coughed twice, appeared in front of Cao Wu, and actually rushed all the way to the boat on horseback.
Cao Wudao: "You don't want your life. How can your horse run like this!"
"I'm light!"
Ah Da shook his head, then rode up to Cao Wu, and together with Cao Wu, he pulled out the big banner.
The big scroll was so heavy that it took two people working together to pull it up.
Cao Wu put the big paper in the saddle of the little white horse, and Ah Da jumped on the little red horse.
The two of them turned around and saw a sea of fire in front of them, but there was no slope like a hill for them to sprint towards.
Cao Wu tore his sleeves to pieces, covered their mouths and noses with Ah Da, and said in a muffled voice: "Follow me, let's rush out!"
