Huang Zu's navy was defeated just a few days ago, but now the morale of the generals in the tent is still high.
Even Huang Zu, who claimed to be second only to Zhou Yu's navy, was defeated by Lu Xun, let alone Cao Cao, who was not good at water warfare?
Zhu Ran's suggestion immediately resonated with the generals in the tent.
Didn’t Cao Cao want to set up camp in Wulin?
Don't even think about it!
Let 150,000 Cao Cao's troops have no shelter and sleep in the open air. Let's see how arrogant Cao Cao can be!
For a moment, all the generals stood up one after another and asked Lu Xun for orders.
Attacking Cao's army seems to be what the people want.
Lu Xun looked serious and kept scanning everyone's faces.
After a long time, he looked at Deputy Governor Zhu Zhi.
"Captain Zhu, what do you mean?"
Zhu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled softly.
"As I said below, everything is subject to Governor Lu's orders."
"But what the generals said is not unreasonable. Let's ask Governor Lu to make the decision!"
Lu Xun nodded slightly and understood what Zhu Zhi meant.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhu Zhi looked at Zhu Ran with admiration in his eyes.
"Actually, I feel that Cao Jun is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by us..."
"Forget it, since you are so eager to fight and want to fight against Cao's army, it is not easy for me, the Governor, to stop you."
"Zhu Ran, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao obey orders!"
The three of them were immediately overjoyed and quickly accepted the order.
"The general is here!"
"I order you each to lead an army of three thousand to attack Cao's army tonight!"
Lu Xun took out three command arrows and distributed one to each.
"In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
"As you command!"
When the sky is overcast at night and the moon is blocked, the entire land is plunged into endless darkness.
At midnight, Chibi Water Village opened wide, and three fleets quietly came out and rowed straight to Wulin on the other side.
Cao Jun's water stronghold and land stronghold were so large that they couldn't even complete their basic appearance in one day.
In order to guard against a sneak attack by Jiangdong's army, the navy retreated five miles, while the infantry chose to go ashore to rest.
It was this decision that gave Zhu Ran and the others the opportunity to board Wulin quietly.
The three men led nine thousand Jiangdong soldiers, all biting branches with their mouths, trying not to make a sound.
The process went extremely smoothly, and Jiangdong's army successfully sneaked into Cao's temporary camp.
Seeing the scene in front of them, Zhu Ran and the other three were immediately overjoyed!
Cao Jun's camp was brightly lit, allowing a clear view of the situation inside the camp.
Only simple wooden stakes were used as fences on the outside, which did not play any defensive role at all.
After observing for a long time, I didn't see a single guard. Instead, all the soldiers were swaying around and sleeping extremely deeply.
"Thief Cao is so cruel and inhumane that he has exhausted his soldiers to this point!"
The Cao army in front of him had almost no defense, and Zhu Ran could hardly suppress his inner joy.
The more soldiers and horses there are, the easier it is to cause chaos when attacked.
Once the sneak attack is successful, the 150,000-strong army will become Cao's army's biggest drawback!
"Hahaha! God helps me Jiangdong!"
"General Zhu Ran, we will definitely win a great victory this time!"
Before the war started, Dong Xi and Ling Cao were ready to celebrate.
Seeing this, Zhu Ran couldn't hold it back any longer, and immediately stood up and picked up the sword in his hand.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
A roar exploded in the silent night, and then Zhu Ran, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao rushed out first.
Jiangdong soldiers did not hesitate, roaring and charging forward.
"kill...!"
For a moment, the cry of killing spread across the land!
Zhu Ran, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao kicked over and flew away the simple fence. They rushed into the camp at the same time and stabbed the sleeping soldiers fiercely.
No matter who it is, after this knife is passed, he will definitely be dead or not alive.
It's a pity that Zhu Ran's fatal sword not only failed to cut off Cao Jun's head, but instead caused the sword to get stuck in it.
Looking carefully, I realized that it had been chopped on the straw man!
Zhu Ran's eyes were about to burst, and his whole body was instantly covered with sweat.
If Zhu Ran doesn't understand at this moment, he is no different from a fool.
There was a shout immediately!
"You've fallen into a trap, retreat quickly!"
Unfortunately, it's too late!
Cries of killing were heard from all directions at the same time, followed by ambushes from all over the mountains and plains approaching.
The one-eyed Xiahou Dun rode his horse and charged, slashing at the panicked Jiangdong Army with his broadsword.
While slashing, he laughed and taunted.
"Hahaha, the Jiangdong rats have fallen into King Wei's plan! Let's see where you run away today!"
After losing consecutive battles before, Xiahou Dun was finally able to kill everyone.
The weak Jiangdong soldiers beside him were no match for him!
Xiahou Dun went deep into the army alone, as if he was in an uninhabited country!
Cao Jun was not one of Xiahou Dun's generals. Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Cao Chun and others rushed in one after another and started killing them wantonly.
Jiangdong's army was surrounded on three sides, and the military formation collapsed instantly in panic.
Zhu Ran had never seen this scene before, and he was stunned and at a loss.
Fortunately, Ling Cao and Dong Xi had experienced battles for a long time, and their personal bravery was hard to come by.
Then he led Zhu Ran to retreat while fighting, and kept running away to the river.
As long as you reach the river, even if you are soaking in the Yangtze River, you are not afraid of Cao Jun.
Obviously, every Jiangdong soldier thinks so.
No order was needed. As long as the Jiangdong soldiers were still alive, not one of them would stop fleeing to the river.
This kind of escape is not a retreat, but a desperate escape.
There was no thought of resistance against Cao Jun who was chasing them.
Even if many soldiers were cut down, they quickly got up and continued running.
Resistance is completely non-existent!
Completely confirms the reputation of Jiangdong Rats!
Jiangdong's army's non-resistance policy directly caused Cao's army to kill more and more ferociously, and the more they killed, the more crazy they became. They wished they had more legs to pursue.
In just a few miles, Jiangdong's soldiers died tragically everywhere.
No part of the body is intact!
Cao Jun was in a frantic pursuit in the front, and Wei King Cao Cao in the rear was slowly advancing with Guo Jia, admiring the results of the battle all the way.
Yes, as Xiahou Dun said, all of this is due to the strategy of Wei King Cao Cao!
"Fengxiao, how about this plan alone!"
Faced with such a huge victory, how dare Guo Jia say no?
"The king of Wei has a clever plan and anticipates the enemy before he can, and I admire him very much!"
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao was so proud that he kept stroking his beard.
"Gu Ping is best at attacking more with less, defeating the strong with the weak. How can we not understand that the key to victory or defeat lies in food passage and sneak attacks?"
"Now it seems that Lu Xun's son is nothing more than this!"
"It's nothing to worry about! Hahaha, it's nothing to worry about!"
Guo Jia said nothing and was not as excited as Cao Cao.
He always felt that something was not quite right.
"Fengxiao, you said that after the rats from Jiangdong fled to the riverside, what would their expression be like when they saw that their ships were all lonely soldiers?"
"Hahaha!"
The reason why Cao Cao did not arrange soldiers on the riverside to block the attack was because he placed his ambush on the river and wanted to completely defeat the fighting spirit of Jiangdong Army!
Huang Zu's naval retreat of five miles was just a pretense.
Their mission is to seize Jiangdong's ships after they land!
Without the boat, Jiangdong soldiers could only wait for death on the shore!
Killing nearly ten thousand people in Jiangdong in one battle was enough to boost our own morale!
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes were gleaming.
