Jufu said doubtfully: "We won for a while today, but it's already dark. The soldiers are resting and recuperating, so why should they be slacking off?"

Yan Yan said: "At this time, the morale of Cao's army is strong and the morale of Cao's army is scattered. It's time to make persistent efforts and conquer another city."

Jufu suddenly said: "Master, what is your intention? If Cao's army loses a battalion, its morale will definitely be scattered. If we rob the camp at night, we will definitely succeed?"

Yan Yan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course! It was getting late at this time, so he must have thought that our army would rest and regroup and send out troops tomorrow. Dai Ling had been defeated for a while, so he would have ordered his troops to recharge their batteries and fight, but unexpectedly I

Send troops overnight to kill him by surprise."

Jufu suddenly woke up, cupped his fists and said, "Good advice, master."

Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old. My lord said before leaving that if there is an old man in the army, if there is a treasure, now that we have two old generals in the army, Xia Houyuan will be killed."

Yan Yan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We are the vanguard and we should open the way to defeat the enemy. It will be enough if we can successfully enter Jigu this time. Let Xia Houyuan be left to Huang Hansheng!"

The three of them laughed, Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said: "General, I would like to be at the front. I will lead the troops forward. Xiaoxing will follow up, and the old general will listen to the news."

Yan Yan shook his head and said: "This time we send troops to attack the camp, we must fight quickly. If Cao Jun's reinforcements arrive, we will be trapped in the mountains in the dark, which will be counterproductive. I will personally lead the troops there."

Zhang Yi immediately called two junior officers from Cao's army to ask about the deployment of the Qinglongtan camp, and the three of them discussed strategies to defeat the enemy.

At the third watch of the night, the Han army left the camp and followed the mountain road to Qinglongtan. The moon was already setting in the west, the mountain wind was howling, and the pines and waves were bursting.

They saw that Cao's army was indeed resting, with only a dozen people guarding the gate. The sentries on the archery tower were leaning on the railings and were drowsy. Apparently, they did not expect that the enemy would raid overnight.

Yan Yan hid behind a boulder and ordered: "Later, I saw someone shoot down the lantern at the entrance of the camp. Xiaoxing went to the east and set fire to it. Bo Gong went straight to the camp, and someone came from behind to respond."

The two generals took the order and divided their troops to prepare. Yan Yan looked at the two lanterns lit at the entrance of the village and walked dozens of steps forward. He raised his bow and nocked an arrow. When a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, he shot two arrows one after another.

Under the hazy moonlight, I saw the two lanterns falling to the ground almost at the same time. A soft bang alerted the defenders at the door. Several people cursed, thinking that the wind had blown the lanterns down, and prepared to pick them up.

Rumble——

There was a thunderous sound, and Zhang Yi led five hundred cavalry and rushed straight to the camp gate. The Cao army at the gate was not prepared, and the cavalry clashed with them and passed by, and screams were heard.

The soldiers on the archery tower hurriedly beat the drum, and after two blasts, Yan Yan had already fired several arrows, killing the defenders at the top.

There was great chaos in Cao's camp. At the same time, Jufu also set fire to the east and led his troops to charge in. The sound of killings broke out in Qinglongtan, the smoke filled the air, and the birds and animals in the mountains roared and fled away.

"Kill!" Yan Yan stood on horseback with her sword in hand, her white beard and hair fluttering in the night wind, but she didn't look old at all. She shouted and led the troops into the camp.

Zhang Yi led his troops straight to the Chinese army's camp, but the defenders were caught off guard. Although Cao's troops hurriedly resisted along the way, they were all scattered and fled in panic.

Dai Ling was sleeping soundly in his tent when he was awakened by the shouts of killing. He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. He saw men and horses fleeing in all directions in the light of the fire. He didn't know how many enemy troops were coming to kill him.

Not only Dai Ling, but also Cao's army who was awakened could not react. Some of them were killed by the rushing Han army before they even came out of their tent.

In the raging fire, the sound of killing was loud. Dai Ling hurriedly found a horse and fled along the way. Along the way, many soldiers did not even have time to put on their clothes and armor and ran wildly with their arms bare.

Jufu raised his knife and charged forward. Every time the blade cut through the flesh and bone, the clear sound and the splashing blood drops made his blood surge and his whole body seemed to be full of strength.

Cao's army was not well-prepared, so Dai Ling fled in a hurry. He was rushed and killed by the three men. There was no enemy in sight. They were killed so hard that they fled, and they captured Qinglongtan in less than an hour.

Yan Yan immediately sent an order to put out the fire. There were newly established camps here, and most of them were still in use. They happened to be stationed here to prepare for Cao's army's counterattack.

Zhang Yi praised: "Sure enough, famous teachers produce great disciples, and I have also gained a lot of glory."

"How dare you!" Jufu, who had grown up very quickly after these battles, had a lot of insights in his heart, and said with emotion: "In my opinion, the master will still use people, and Xiahou Yuan will pale in comparison. If the situation is reversed and Cao Jun comes to attack, we will have another chance.

How to set up defenses?"

Yan Yan nodded happily and said: "Xiao Xing is prepared for danger in times of peace and can draw inferences from one instance. He is a true boy who can be taught!"

Dai Ling fled back in embarrassment. Liu Zhu hurriedly reported the news to Xiahou Shang. Xiahou Shang was furious and came to the stronghold from Baxiantai early in the morning to behead Dai Ling.

Liu Zhu pleaded: "Old thief Yan Yan has many tricks and tricks, and we have been frustrated one after another. Now is the time to employ people, so we can ask him to make meritorious service."

Xia Houshang said angrily: "You failed to defend the Qingsong Plateau before, and now you have lost the Qinglong Pond. What else can you say?"

Dai Ling hurriedly said: "The Han army must be arrogant after repeated victories. As the saying goes, an arrogant army will be defeated. The Qingsong Plateau has an open terrain. At the end of the night, I will go to rob the camp and atone for my sins."

"This plan is feasible!" Xia Houshang nodded and said: "The mourning soldiers will win. If this battle can be successful, we can defeat the enemy in one go and recapture the Qingsong Plain."

Dai Ling was then ordered to rest, while Liu Zhu gathered the remaining troops and consolidated his forces to prepare for war. In the evening, the two generals went to rob the camp together, and Xia Houshang personally guarded Qibu Cliff to wait for news.

The next day, the Han army had already re-camped and deployed its defenses, resting and waiting for orders. If Cao's army came to attack the camp, they would fight with them.

At noon, a reinforcement army of 300 people suddenly arrived, but it was Ma Liang, a soldier who joined the army, who was ordered to come, and Yan Yan connected him to the stronghold.

Ma Liang said with emotion: "My lord heard that you were victorious and ordered me to come to discuss the military affairs. Unexpectedly, the old general captured two villages in a row. We and the Qingqi couldn't catch up. So you have the courage to be honest!"

"Ji Chang received the award!" Yan Yan said with a smile: "I wonder what military orders my lord has?"

Ma Liangyan said: "My lord knows that the old general is both wise and brave, and is very good at using defense as offense. He did not explain too much. He only told us to act with caution. The army is still in Bao Valley, so there is no need to take risks."

"Yan Ding has lived up to his lord's high expectations." Yan Yan was deeply moved.

Liu Qi trusted him so much, and then thought of Liu Zhang's fear and rejection, and there was an inexplicable sourness in his heart. If he could have met such a wise master thirty years earlier, why worry about not being able to achieve fame?

Ma Liang asked about the military situation, and Jufu told him that there was another camp ahead, only three miles away from Baxiantai, and the camp could be seen from the mountain.

This place is called Qibu Cliff. There is a narrow part of the canyon that is only seven steps wide. One man can guard the pass and ten thousand people cannot open it. Cao Jun has deployed heavy troops here. There are sentries high up on the cliff, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Yan Yan stroked his beard and said: "Cao's army has been defeated repeatedly. I suspect that the children of Xiahou Shang Cao's clan must be unwilling to accept it. This place is only ten miles away from Taibai Mountain, but they have not come to attack today. There must be a trick."

Jufu was moved in his heart and asked: "The terrain here is open and troops can be sent out from the riverbanks north and south of Qinglongtan. Could it be that Cao's army also wants to rob the camp?"

Yan Yan nodded and said, "Xiao Xing coincides with me."

Zhang Yi laughed and said: "As expected, he is worthy of being a master and disciple. He is so in tune with each other. If Xiahou Shang dares to send troops, he can just send his brothers to reunite."
