Chapter 141 Harassment from all sides

As soon as the thieves heard the cheers in unison, they each hugged the beauty and couldn't wait to walk to the bedroom arranged in advance by Sima's family.

Cao Cao and Sima Lang looked at each other and smiled at each other.

According to their assumptions, these thieves would definitely fall asleep after having fun, and they could take the opportunity to kill these people in a pot and tie them up.

Next, when the army attacks the city, the thieves will be leaderless, and they will be able to operate more easily.

So far, everything is progressing according to their plan, which can be described as perfect.

Especially since Sima Lang was doing such a big thing at such a young age, he felt nervous and exciting, and he was already looking forward to the next move in his heart.

Cao Cao was also very proud. After his own planning and success, it was time for his military position as a captain to be promoted, and he might be able to become a general or something.

Just when I thought of this, I suddenly heard the deafening shouts of killing from the east of Wen County, and the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, as if thousands of troops were fighting.

Cao Cao thought to himself, it's over, the beauty trap didn't work, and the army's feint attack began.

The second watch day was also called Rending in ancient times, which is between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening. During this time, people have settled down to sleep.

Especially now that it's the second half of the second watch, it's past ten o'clock, and the soldiers in the city are already asleep, so it's a good time to come and do some trouble.

"Didn't we promise to attack at the third watch? This feint is too early." Cao Cao complained helplessly in his heart.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Zhang Yan hurriedly ran out with half of her clothes taken off.

Mrs. Guo and other thieves also ran out one after another.

The military situation is like a fire, affecting their success or failure and even their lives. No matter how urgent things are, they must put aside and go all out to ensure military operations.

At this time, they could see from a distance that half of the sky to the east of the county was red with fire.

At this moment, a Black Mountain bandit ran over on horseback and shouted: "Commander, it's not good, the army is attacking the camp in the east of the city at night."

"Go and have a look." Zhang Yan waved, and all the thieves mounted their horses. The main defensive force in the east of the city was his Black Mountain Army, so he couldn't help but be impatient.

"Commander, don't leave, the girls are still waiting." Cao Cao didn't give up and stepped forward and said.

"The military situation is urgent and we can't take care of it." Mrs. Guo said regretfully, "You can send those beauties to the military camp later."

"There is a curfew at night. How can we ordinary people dare to walk around freely?" Cao Cao said, looking aggrieved, "Besides, as a commoner, I can't enter the military camp."

"This is my handsome waist badge. Hold this, you can come in and out freely." Mrs. Guo took off a badge from her waist as she spoke and threw it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he turned to Zhang Yan and said, "Shuai Zhang, look..."

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then took off his waist badge and threw it to Cao Cao. He whipped his riding whip hard and the horse galloped away.

The other thief leaders also followed the swarm and were gone in the blink of an eye.

"It's a pity that we didn't keep them." Sima Lang said with regret.

"It doesn't matter. With the badges of the two commanders, it will be easier for us." Cao Cao weighed the badges in his hands and said with a smile, "Besides, they drank so much wine, they will definitely fall asleep soon, so don't worry about them. Alright, let’s get ready.”

Zhang Yan, Guo Tai and others climbed to the top of the east city. When they looked outside, they saw the camp not far away. The officers and soldiers lit several fires outside the camp, and an unknown number of archers fired rockets into the camp. , ignited the surrounding tents, and the fire suddenly reached the sky.

The shouts of killing were loud, but the distance was too far. From the top of the city, it was difficult to see the specific fighting situation ahead. We could only see the fierce battle between the official army and the rebel army in front of and behind the camp gate through the light of the fire.

At this time, some soldiers came to the city to report: "Commander Qi, the front camp has blocked the attack of the army, but..."

"But what? Come on!" Zhang Yan shouted impatiently.

"The leading general seems to be Lu Bu. He rushed into the camp several times and the soldiers suffered heavy losses," the soldier said.

Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo looked at each other, and their faces that were originally red after drinking suddenly turned pale.

Lu Bu is actually here!

At the weak moment when our own troops had lost 40% of their troops, Lu Bu came to steal the camp!

Zhang Yan clearly remembers the scene of being stolen by Lu Bu when she was in Huai County. It was like a nightmare. The unstoppable momentum made people despair just thinking about it.

"Quickly, mobilize troops and horses from the left and right camps to strengthen the defense of Dongying." Zhang Yan said loudly.

The soldiers immediately sent the order.

After a while, the shouts of killing gradually disappeared, and a soldier ran up excitedly and said: "Commander, our army defeated Lu Bu!"

"Defeat Lu Bu!?"

Mrs. Guo, Zhang Yan and even the Qu Shuais around them all smiled.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Lu Bu would also be defeated." Zhang Yan said happily, "And he was defeated by us, which is great!"

"It's such a happy event, it's time to go to Sima's house to find those women to celebrate it." Mrs. Guo said with a smile.

"Go back to the camp and wait. They will deliver it in a while. Send it directly to our brothers' beds, hahahaha..." Zhang Yan said confidently. He turned around and walked down the tower and walked towards the county government office.

Everyone also laughed and went down the tower.

Zhang Yan really drank a lot tonight. After returning to the bed tent, she originally wanted to lie on the couch and wait for the beauty to come over, but she fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

He didn't know how long he slept, but he dreamed that he seemed to be back on the battlefield, with drums and trumpets blaring, and he was fighting against Lu Bu. Lu Bu was superb in his halberd skills, but he was defeated steadily by him.

At this moment, he was pushed awake by the soldiers.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yan asked drowsily, "Did the beauty arrive?"

"The commander is in trouble, the officers and soldiers are attacking the camp outside Beicheng again." The soldier said anxiously.

Zhang Yan listened carefully, and sure enough, she heard the deafening shouts of killing in the north of the county. The sound was just like the one she had just dreamed of.

Outside the north city gate, the main defense force there was originally the Huns and a small number of Baibo troops. This time all the Huns went south, leaving only some Baibo troops. The defense was weak. If the government troops broke through from here, they would be unable to defend themselves.

Zhang Yan did not dare to neglect, quickly put on her clothes and left the government office. When she saw Mrs. Guo also coming out, everyone hurriedly ran towards Beicheng.

When we got to the top of the city, we saw flames blazing into the sky in the north direction of the city. The shouts of killing were deafening. It seemed that the killing was very lively.

"The defense of the North Camp is insufficient. Quickly mobilize troops and horses from other camps for support." Mrs. Guo ordered loudly.

"The soldiers and horses in Dongying cannot move for the time being. We must be prepared to prevent Lu Bu from attacking again." Zhang Yan reminded.

"The south of the city is too far, so let's mobilize troops and horses from the west of the city." Mrs. Guo said anxiously.

"West of the city?" Zhang Yan looked at Mrs. Guo in disbelief and said, "The main troops going south this time were drawn from the west of the city. There are already very few troops left. How can we mobilize more troops from the west of the city?"

"No transfer? If you don't transfer the camp in the north of the city, it will be lost soon!" Guo Taidao said, "It's not your soldiers, don't you feel bad! I will only transfer my Baibo Army, not your Black Mountain Army."

Zhang Yan had no choice but to let Guo Tai mobilize his troops.

After a while, the shouts of death disappeared again.

Another soldier came to report that the officers and soldiers had retreated.

"Hehe, the officers and soldiers are useless, so they were defeated so quickly?" Guo Tai smiled, then a fanatical look appeared in his eyes and said, "Is the general of the officers and soldiers this time Lu Bu?"

The main force that defeated Lu Bu in Dongcheng just now was the Black Mountain Army. If our Baibo Army can defeat Lu Bu this time, Zhang Yan will not underestimate him.

"The identities of the officers and generals are unknown." The soldier reported back, "They withdrew before the situation could be ascertained." "Did reinforcements from the west of the city arrive when the officers and soldiers retreated?" Zhang Yan suddenly asked.

"The reinforcements in the west of the city have just entered the camp and have not yet entered the battle." The soldiers reported.

Mrs. Guo and Zhang Yan looked at each other and saw the vigilance in the other's eyes.

"The army shouldn't be so weak." Zhang Yan said thoughtfully, "In fact, Lu Bu in the east of the city won't be that weak either. Unless..."

"Are the officers and soldiers bluffing?" Mrs. Guo asked with a frown.

"It is indeed possible." Zhang Yan said, "The officers and soldiers did not dare to attack our camp, so they resorted to such despicable means, harassing us everywhere, not allowing our army to rest, and deliberately tiring our army so that they could take advantage of the opportunity."

"So it seems that the army may still harass other camps tonight?" Guo Tai said.

"Everything is possible, go back to sleep first." Zhang Yan turned and left.

After everyone went back, they fell asleep.

By half an hour, drums were beating loudly from the south of the city, and there were constant shouts of killing.

Another soldier ran into the sleeping tent and said, "Commander, the officers and soldiers have gone to the south of the city again."

Zhang Yan opened her eyes in a daze and said, "First find out how the battle is going and then report back."

The soldier agreed and turned around and went out.

Zhang Yan continued to sleep. Not long after he fell asleep, the soldiers came in and said, "Commander, the officers and soldiers have retreated."

"If you retreat, there is no need to disturb my commander's dream." Zhang Yan waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is a tactic by the officers and soldiers to suspect the soldiers. Unless they really attack the city, there is no need to come and report."

After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.

Almost the same situation also happened in Mrs. Guo's sleeping tent.

……

Cao Cao and Sima Lang rushed to the west of the city with three hundred servants.

"Who is it, stop!" Before he could reach the city gate, he was blocked by several patrolling Baibo thieves.

"Several military lords, we are from the Sima family. We have been ordered by the two marshals to bring some wine and food to the military lords." Cao Cao hurriedly reported back.

"Sending wine and food? How can I trust you?"

"Here are the badges of two commanders." Cao Cao presented the badges of Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo.

The leader took it and looked at it, then looked up at the team behind Cao Cao, and asked warily: "Do we still need so many people to deliver wine and food?"

"The commander-in-chief said that the officers and soldiers were harassing everyone at night. Let's bring some people over to help the officers defend the city." Cao Cao had already thought of a response.

Seeing that this man was answering questions fluently and not appearing to be lying, the leader of the Baibo thieves took his badge and went to the city. Soon a voice came from the top of the city: "Come up!"

Everyone walked to the top of the city together.

"The wine and food are still hot." Cao Cao commanded several servants and said with a smile to the thieves guarding the city, "Send the wine and food to the tower to eat, where there is no wind."

As he spoke, he opened a jar of wine, and the aroma of the wine floated in the wind. Everyone couldn't help but feel their appetites after smelling it.

"Come to the tower quickly!" The defenders, who were already in a semi-hungry state, could not resist this temptation, so they ran into the tower.

Cao Cao directed his servants to put down the food and wine, and said: "The military lords are free to enjoy themselves. They have enough wine and meat. There are servants from the Sima family outside to help the military lords keep an eye on them for a while."

"I heard that the two commanders went to Sima's house tonight. Is their food better than ours?" a soldier asked.

"The food is just like that of several military lords." Cao Cao said with a smile, "But after all, he is a handsome man. After eating, he can sleep with his arms around the woman."

"Hey, they all say that we want to defeat the official and let the poor make the decision." Some soldiers muttered while eating, "Look, before this official is defeated, our own leader has already become the official." . Where the hell is this reasoning?"

"Hot rice can't shut your mouth, is that what you can say?" The other soldiers quickly yelled.

"Quick, pour the wine, pour the wine!" Cao Cao hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade him to drink.

"Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!"

The thieves drank vigorously.

Outside the main camp in the west of the city, at the foot of a grassy slope, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were already in position with five hundred cavalry each.

Behind them, Xu Huang, Gai Xun, Liu Bei, Song Xian and others led 20,000 infantry, blending into the entire night, and it was impossible to see how large it was.

"It's almost time." Gai Xun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, three bonfires were lit on top of the city.

The cavalry took the lead and quietly approached the camp.

At this time, the weakest defense area around Wen County is the camp in the west of the city. It has few people to begin with, and some of the camp in the north of the city have just been transferred to assist in the defense.

At this time, there were only more than two thousand people in the camp in the west of the city.

Lu Bu had the most experience in attacking camps, so he took the lead and led the five hundred men under his command to rush towards the entrance of the camp.

He was very dissatisfied with the fact that only 500 cavalry were sent to him this time, and he thought that he must fight a good battle to show everyone, so that His Majesty and Gai Xun, an old stubborn man, would know who is best suited to command the cavalry.

The guards at the entrance of the camp soon discovered them and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

At the same time, gongs and warning sounds sounded intensively.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Lu Bu shot several arrows and knocked down the guards. At this time, he rushed to the gate of the camp. He swung his halberd and chopped down the gate. He jumped into the camp on horseback and hacked at the remaining rebels.

Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei rushed into the camp, followed by infantry.

It was the middle of the night, and the soldiers were sleeping soundly. Some were awakened by the sound of warning gongs, and some were still fast asleep.

The soldiers who ran out of the tent had their heads moved before they understood what was going on.

The guard who was still drinking on the tower heard the cry of killing outside the city, and hurriedly got up and went to check.

Suddenly the door of the house opened, and three hundred servants of the Sima family rushed in with sharp knives, and killed the half-drunk thieves.

The thieves were not mentally prepared for this at all, and they were killed before they even figured out what was going on.

Blood gurgled from the crack in the door.

"Open the city gate!" Cao Cao ordered.

Immediately some servants went down to open the city gate.

Inside the county government office, Mrs. Guo and Zhang Yan were still sleeping soundly. The soldiers had already heard the shouts of killing from the west of the city, but after learning from the previous time, they did not dare to report them easily.

And no one from the west city garrison came back to deliver the news. The soldiers were unsure, so they had to run to the west gate to find out the news themselves.

As soon as he ran up to the top of the city, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
