The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 141 Chapter 141
When night fell, a round of bright moon hanging in the sky was blocked by large chunks of dark clouds, making the whole land plunged into pitch darkness.

Lu Bu gathered his troops and horses, and under the darkness, he led Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and more than 800 horse infantry, and approached Cao Jun's camp quietly.

At this time, Zhang Yan was discussing matters with Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, and Xu Sheng in the room, when he heard someone knock on the door, he asked Xu Sheng to open the door, and saw Gao Shun and Zhang Liao who looked panicked.

As soon as Gao Shun and Zhang Liao entered the room, they immediately knelt on the ground, cupped their fists towards Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Andong, please save my lord!"

"Please get up quickly, if you have anything to say, just get up and talk about it." Zhang Yan walked over and helped Gao Shun and Zhang Liao up.

"What happened to your master?" Zhang Yan asked.

Gao Shun replied: "My lord led the army out of the city to attack Cao Jun's camp. I tried to persuade him, but the lord not only stopped, but also left us in the city. Cao Cao has always been extremely treacherous. How could he let us go so easily?" What's more, the last time the lord acted recklessly and went to attack Cao Cao, but he fell into Cao Cao's treacherous tricks. Not to mention the loss of soldiers, he almost lost his life. This time the lord went to attack Cao Cao again, I'm afraid I will fall into it again That trick of Cao Cao..."

Zhang Yandao: "You don't need to panic, I already know about this matter, not only you can't persuade him, even I can't persuade him. There are too many things happened in the city these two days, first Hao Meng rebelled, then Chen Gong was killed, and even Mrs. Diao Chan..."

When he said this, Zhang Yan paused, sighed lightly, and then continued: "Perhaps, Brother Fengxian couldn't accept what happened for a while, especially what happened to Mrs. Diaochan, and it was even more important to Fengxian. Brother was hit hard, which made him make such a rash move. However, you can rest assured that I already have a countermeasure, but I still need the help of the two of you!"

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao clasped their fists at Zhang Yan at the same time and said: "What is Zhang Andong's order, just ask, we will definitely obey the order!"

Zhang Yandao: "Okay, with your help, I believe Brother Fengxian will be safe and sound."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan made some arrangements. Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao each had their own division of labor and were different from each other, but they all obeyed Zhang Yan's orders.

After the order was finished, Zhang Yan ordered the troops to be assembled. Tai Shici and Xu Chu gathered all the cavalry and followed him to Cao Jun's camp. Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao each guarded a city gate and did not see him come back. , whoever calls the city gate, do not open it.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan was still a little worried, and gave Gao Shun and Zhang Liao a second order, and then led Tai Shici, Xu Chu and three thousand cavalry to leave Dingtao.

After Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others left Dingtao, they quietly followed behind Lv Bu's soldiers and horses, but deliberately kept a distance, just for fear of being discovered by Lv Bu.

In fact, his intention is very simple, nothing more than throwing stones to ask for directions.

His opponent is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is a famous military strategist in history. He used soldiers like a god. This time, he confronted Cao Cao head-on, so he became very cautious.

According to his judgment, Cao Cao must be prepared for tonight, maybe he has already arranged everything, just waiting for Lu Bu to drill into this big net.

But on the other hand, he really wanted to know whether his judgment was correct.

That's why he made the decision to use Lv Bu as his pawn to test Cao's army. If Lv Bu was surrounded by Cao's army, it meant that Cao Cao had already prepared, and he only had to fight from behind to rescue Lv Bu.

But if Lu Bu's sneak attack really achieved results, he could also lead an army to support and beat Cao Cao hard.

Although this method is using Lu Bu, it is a bit despicable, but it is also the most effective method.

At the same time, Lu Bu led Song Xian and Hou Cheng to approach Cao Jun's camp. They saw that Cao Jun's camp was lifeless, but the night watch team was going on very regularly. The patrol team passed by the camp, and the entire military camp was heavily guarded.

When Lu Bu saw such a scene, he frowned, but since he led the troops out, he couldn't return empty-handed, so he chose to wait.

He took the soldiers and quietly hid in a bush outside the camp. It happened to be dark and windy tonight, which was very suitable for them to hide.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought many times, and basically they lost more than they won. The losses again and again made Lu Bu become more cautious, and he did not dare to act rashly again.

After losing Chen Gong, he seemed to have calmed down a lot, and he began to know how to use his brain to think about problems.

Zhang Yan led the army and quietly followed Lu Bu, but he did not follow closely. He was afraid that Lu Bu would find out, so he had no choice but to send scouts to the front to investigate.

When the scouts returned, they learned that Lu Bu was waiting outside Cao's camp, so Zhang Yan also decided to wait here.

After such a wait, it took a full hour and a half to wait until midnight.

At that time, the patrol team in Cao Jun's camp gradually became sleepy, and the number of patrols was reduced, and the intervals between patrols became longer and longer.

After Lu Bu discovered this, he observed patiently for a while, and finally got what he wanted.

However, because he almost died in the hands of Cao Cao last time, Lu Bu was also extra careful, so he was not in a hurry to attack, but let the soldiers rest well.

The soldiers were also sleepy, and after listening to Lu Bu's words, they all fell to sleep in place, and Lu Bu even arranged for people to watch the night, and if they found any clues, they would report to him immediately.

When Zhang Yan learned that Lu Bu asked his subordinates to rest on the spot and did not take any action, the motor in his mind turned quickly, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lu Bu to become cautious now. If I guessed correctly, He probably wanted to attack before dawn."

Therefore, Zhang Yan also asked his subordinates to rest on the spot to recharge their batteries.

Just as Zhang Yan guessed, Lu Bu really thought so.In his opinion, the darkness before dawn is the most terrifying.

Because even Lu Bu was afraid that he would fall into Cao Cao's tricks again. If Cao Cao really set up a trap, then in order to wait for him to jump into this trap, Cao Cao's army would definitely stay up all night and stay up until dawn. He was extremely sleepy, if he launched an attack, he would be waiting for work at ease.

Even if Cao Cao didn't set a trap, the period before dawn is also the time when people are most familiar with sleep. If Cao Cao suddenly launched an attack at this time, Cao Jun would definitely be beaten and fled by him.

That night, within a radius of thirty miles of Dingtao City, nothing happened.

However, the people in Dingtao City were extremely anxious, and they dared not sleep, but they couldn't wait for the news, and they were really tormented.

At the third quarter of Yin time, Lu Bu woke up all his subordinates. At this time, it was getting darker, and in Cao Jun's camp, the guards had already dozed off with their weapons.

This time, Lu Bu ordered to prepare to attack after he was sure that it was the real Cao soldiers, not the scarecrows.

Lu Bu asked Song Xian and Hou Cheng to take 1000 people each to the left and right wings of Cao Jun's camp, and set fire to the camp.And he led the remaining hundreds of people, preparing to enter the camp from the main entrance.

After the plan was made, Lu Bu took the lead, took the lead, and rushed towards Cao Jun's camp with his subordinates.

Cao Bing woke up like a dream, with a hazy expression on his face. Before he could figure out the situation, he was rushed up by Lu Bu and others and killed him directly.

Soon, the gate of Cao Jun's camp was broken open by Lu Bu, and as soon as hundreds of people entered Cao Jun's camp, they began to slaughter wantonly, no matter who they met, they killed them all.

However, Song Xian and Hou Cheng led people to set fires around the left and right wings of Cao Jun. For a while, the flames soared into the sky, and the fierce fire gradually merged together under the blowing of the night wind, turning into huge fire dragons, opening With a bloody mouth, sticking out the steaming tongue, everything in Cao Jun's camp was burned wantonly.

Lu Bu was even more unscrupulous in charging in Cao's camp. He rode a red rabbit horse and rushed straight towards the Chinese army's tent, just to kill Cao Cao.And Cao Ying, which was already a sea of ​​flames, also boosted Lu Bu's arrogance and made him more brave.

For a while, Cao's army was in chaos, and the soldiers escaped from the camp one after another, and all fled northward.

Suddenly, a short man with a short beard ran out from the large tent of the Chinese army. The man was disheveled and didn't even have time to put on his armor. He retreated quickly to the north under the protection of Dian Wei.

When Lu Bu saw the man, he concluded that it was Cao Cao, so he galloped towards the man and killed him.

Zhang Yan was three miles away from Lu Bu, and five miles away from Cao Jun's camp, but the noise of fighting woke them up from their sleep, and they suddenly saw the direction of Cao Jun's camp, the flames rising into the sky, billowing thick smoke rising into the sky, He still didn't know for the time being whether it was Lv Bu who attacked Cao Cao and set fire to Cao Jun's camp; or Cao Cao surrounded Lv Bu in the camp in turn and wanted to set fire to Lv Bu to death?
He immediately gathered his troops and went to Cao Jun's camp to find out.

The distance of five miles is only a moment's work for the rider on horseback.Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and three thousand cavalry rushed towards Cao Jun's camp without stopping.

After a while, Zhang Yan arrived at Cao Jun's camp, but saw that Cao Jun's camp was already in flames, Lu Bu's army was guarding the outside of the camp, while Cao Jun fled in all directions, and there were many charred corpses in the camp.

Lu Bu's surprise attack was successful!
The scene in front of him shocked Zhang Yan, he couldn't believe his eyes, Cao Cao would be attacked by Lu Bu unexpectedly, how could this be possible?

But the facts were in front of Zhang Yan, Cao Jun fled north in a hurry, Lu Bu led Song Xian and Hou Cheng to chase, leaving only [-] infantry here to kill the panicked Cao soldiers.

After Zhang Yan heard the news, he quickly led Tai Shici, Xu Chu, and [-] cavalry around Cao Jun's camp. According to the report of the scouts, he followed the direction of Lu Bu's pursuit and chased all the way north.

Lv Bu's successful sneak attack and Cao's camp, which had already turned into a sea of ​​flames, convinced Zhang Yan that Cao Cao was unprepared. Otherwise, how could he have fled in a hurry?

"Catch up, anyone who wins Cao Cao's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!" Zhang Yan even told his subordinates an attractive reward, and led the army to chase up without any scruples.
