The Wei army camp was in chaos at the moment.
The sleeping Wei army did not expect Jiangdong to dare to attack the camp.
How dare he?
This is what the soldiers and generals of Wei thought.
Cao Hong naturally thought the same way.
He was defeated first, and he originally planned to send troops to attack the city early tomorrow morning. To avenge his shame, he never thought that the Jiangdong rats would dare to steal the camp!
Suddenly, the camp fell into chaos.
The Jiangdong soldiers made noise all the way, rockets flew by, and war horses neighed, setting the Wei army's stronghold on fire.
A fire broke out and burned all the food and grass piled in the camp.
The flickering light of the fire made Cao Hong's face turn red.
He had just put on the armor and was holding a ring-headed sword in his hand. At this moment, his eyes were so angry that they were about to spit out fire.
"Come and kill with me!"
However.
The guards beside Cao Hong quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "General, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark. We should retreat now and preserve our strength. We will make plans when the situation is clear!"
withdraw?
"How can we withdraw now? Most of the army's food, grass and baggage are in the camp. Once we retreat, what will happen to these baggage? Also, if we don't go up now, how much loss will our army suffer?"
When the two armies are fighting, food and grass go first.
The baggage, food and grass are all hoarded in the military stronghold. Now that they retreat, wouldn't it mean that they will hand over the food, grass and baggage to the Jiangdong rats?
Now that the fire is fierce, we should be the first to drive away the soldiers from Jiangdong and then put out the fire. If we can reduce the loss of baggage and food, we will lose less.
He lost Hefei first. If he lost all his food, grass and baggage now, how could he have the dignity to see the king?
It would be better to just kill him.
"It's just general. I and my subordinates can gather only a few hundred soldiers."
There were indeed ten thousand people in the vanguard of the Wei army. However, the Jiangdong army attacked the camp. In their haste, the soldiers in the camp did not organize a decent resistance at all. Instead, they fled all the way under the cover of night. If they could gather hundreds of soldiers, it was Cao Hong's. cronies.
Hundreds of people fought against the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops against the current?
Isn't this to deliver food to them?
Hearing the words of the confidant beside him, Cao Hong felt a little shaken in his heart.
To die?
Of course he doesn't want to.
but
Leaving in despair was not what he wanted!
"You must not retreat at this time!"
While Cao Hong was hesitating, a loud roar suddenly came from behind him.
This voice was very familiar to Cao Hong.
This is the voice of General Wenyuan.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Zhang Liao, Cao Hong felt reassured.
The person in front of me could defeat Jiangdong's army until it lost all its teeth.
"We absolutely cannot withdraw now!"
Zhang Liao bowed his hands to Cao Hong and said, "As soon as we retreat, this camp and the baggage will be occupied by Jiangdong, and our army will lose the opportunity in an instant. Now that Zang Ba is in trouble and loses again in the front, we will not be able to fight with Wei." The situation is really unfavorable, especially for the king.”
"It's just that we don't have enough troops."
Not enough troops?
Zhang Liao snorted coldly and said: "It's dark tonight. If you kill hard enough and make some noise, how can Jiangdong know the details of me and others? The so-called Jiangdong rat is that if you are afraid of him, he will climb up the pole. If you If you are not afraid of him, he will be afraid of you. Who can bear the responsibility of retreating at this time?"
As he spoke, Zhang Liaohu stared at Cao Hong.
If you hadn't lost Hefei, how could the situation be as corrupt as it is now?
"If that's the case, then today, I will sacrifice my life to fight with you!"
If he retreats now, Cao Hong might as well die!
kill!
Kill him and his head will roll!
Zhang Liao naturally had some sense of honor when he made such a radical move.
The Book of War says: Whenever fighting the enemy at night, you must use more firelights and war drums to confuse the enemy's ears and eyes, so that the enemy cannot distinguish the number of our troops, our intentions, and the direction of our attack, and let them not know how to defend against our troops. Only in order to achieve great victory.
In this regard, the ancients have already set an example.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars between the State of Wu and the State of Yue continued, and wars often broke out on the borders between the two countries.
Once the Yue Kingdom attacked the Wu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom launched a large-scale defense at Lize. The two sides launched a posture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to fight for life and death. In just one month, the two sides fought nearly a hundred battles, regardless of victory or defeat. , it was not until Vietnam changed its strategy that the war ended.
The Vietnamese army no longer attacked the Wu army head-on. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Vietnamese army divided into two groups. One moment they attacked from the left, with loud drums, and the next they made loud noises from the right. The Wu army did not know where the opponent's main force was.
The troops had to be divided into two groups, constantly pursuing and defending, and counterattacking the Vietnamese army.
Little did they know that the main force of the Yue army was not on both sides. The King of Yue personally led the three main armies to sneak across from the middle, entered the Wu army's central camp, beat drums and charged to kill. The Wu army was in chaos and chaos, and fled in defeat.
In the past, he could defeat 100,000 people with 800 people. Today, taking advantage of the darkness, he bucked the trend and turned the tide from collapse. What's impossible?
The decision was made, and everyone mounted their horses.
"drive!"
Zhang Liao galloped his horse and led the troops towards the village gate.
The leader took the lead, and the others naturally ran to follow, regardless of life or death.
When charging, Zhang Liao shouted:
"Zhang Wenyuan is here, who dares to be presumptuous?!"
"The king's reinforcements have arrived, 30,000 people are behind me, all officers and men, follow me and charge!"
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, hundreds of people behind him also shouted loudly:
"The king's reinforcements have arrived, 30,000 people are behind me, all officers and men, follow me and charge!"
"The king's reinforcements have arrived, 30,000 people are behind me, all officers and men, follow me and charge!"
Suddenly, the momentum was huge.
Puff puff puff~
Zhang Liao kept attacking Jiangdong soldiers with his sword.
In just a few moments, three or four people were killed by his gun.
Cao Hong fought desperately.
Today's situation is all because of him. If he doesn't come back, he will really be worse off than dead.
Ahhhh~
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
Going against the trend and creating a momentum, Jiangdong's night attack was actually stopped.
With the backbone and the buffering time, the scattered soldiers in the camp gradually gathered together.
Hundreds of people, gradually turned into thousands, and then thousands again.
The night attack failed!
Woohoo~
Behind Jiangdong's army, the sound of ringing gold sounded. The Jiangdong army that came in a hurry then left in a hurry, escaping into the night.
Zhang Liao and Cao Hong did not dare to pursue, fearing that there would be an ambush in the east of the Yangtze River.
"Prepare Wei Village quickly to prevent the Jiangdong rats from attacking again!"
Zhang Liao immediately issued the order.
Cao Hong nodded heavily.
Wei Zhai was not lost, and his guilt was finally reduced.
but
Feeling that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, Cao Hong was immediately startled.
"Quickly put out the fire, don't burn all the food, grass and baggage!"
Today's attack on the camp in Jiangdong failed, but the losses of his Wei army were heavy.
At the very least, after today's attack on the camp, they won't have time to attack Hefei in the next few days.
It actually gave Jiang Dong a chance to breathe.
On the other side, the edict of King Wei has been passed to Zang Ba.
"Hahaha~"
In response to this, Zang Ba just laughed twice and said to the envoy of the King of Wei in front of him: "Don't worry, envoy, I will raise an army tomorrow to respond to the king. Do the rats from the east of the Yangtze dare to spy on our land of Wei? I, Zang Ba, will do it for me." The king demands it!"
certainly
Although he said this, he had another thought in his heart:
Your Majesty, take turns, come to my house today!
Your eunuch Cao family can sit in this country, but I, Zang Ba, why can't I?
…
PS:
I'll go home tomorrow and resume updating, and then see if I can update it the day after tomorrow.
