Before he finished speaking, a shout came from not far behind the two of them, "Where did you come from? What are you going to do?"
Lei Yuan and Wu Ban turned around together and saw a shed near the haystack opening the door. A left-behind officer was coming out of the shed and standing by the door to ask the knight passing by.
Lei Tong pulled his horse in front of him, saying and gestured, indicating that he was Cao Jun from Yuanlu. However, he spoke very strongly, and he didn't look like a person from Central Plains. The two said a few words, but they didn't understand each other.
At the same time, the officer noticed the pine torch held by the soldiers. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, it was common to take a few torches, but it was too strange that there were so many people in front of him. When the officer thought of this, he opened his mouth and shouted.
Fortunately, his shouting did not come out.
Lei Tong's movement was as fast as lightning. He suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and threw it over. The blade rotated into a silver aperture in the air, and then stabbed into the officer's chest directly. The officer held the blade in front of his chest with both hands, pushed back two steps, and sat down to the ground, stopping.
Several alert knights had already gone around the sides of the shed. When the officers fell down, the knights rushed into the shed and slashed. After a few quick screams, the knights came out one after another and made a slash at Lei Tong.
Wu Ban breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, I'm going down too... At this time, I can't relax at all!" He said to Lei Yuan, and slid down with his back against the thatch.
Lei Yuan nodded calmly and said, "Let the soldiers calm down. You must not move rashly until you blow the horn."
Wu Ban answered repeatedly. The haystack sounded erratically for a while, and his back disappeared behind the haystack.
When Wu Ban turned his back, Lei Yuan raised his hand and knocked his chest, letting out a long time.
His chest was full of tension and worry, and his heart was beating, as if it was about to pop out of his throat. Just now, when Lei Tong and others collided with Cao Jun, he was almost exhausted and finally managed to control himself and avoid losing his composure.
From entering the city to slowly controlling the grain storage area in the south, such things happened four or five times under Lei Yuan's nose, and they should have happened several times outside of his sight. Fortunately, he was the first to take action every time and was not discovered by the outside world.
But how long can such good luck last?
It was originally a forced sneak attack. As they walked along the way, they were walking on thin ice. When a team of thousands of people rushed into the city, how could they not reveal any flaws? Lei Yuan estimated that the defender would soon notice that several important officers were missing, and the soldiers patrolling along the village wall would not take long to go back to the south gate. Once Deng Tong took action to deal with them, the soldiers looking up the building from both sides would find it again.
No, there is no need to wait until then. Now that there are so many pine and open torches igniting one by one, the sky will be a little later, and the fire will be very conspicuous. At that time, I should be warned upstairs.
Exposure is a matter of time sooner or later. Just try to expose it as late as possible, so that Xu Chu's troops can enter the city as much as possible.
At present, the Cao army had not found any abnormalities. There were about 700 or 800 people left outside the gate, most of which were infantry. A large number of soldiers had entered from the north gate. The front team led by Xu Chu arrived at the official office area, and two teams left and right were divided into two groups to bypass the official office and headed towards the village wall, intending to take over the defense. If they were really allowed to encircle the village wall to the south, they would form a rush to catch turtles in the jar.
Even so, we can't attack at the moment.
According to the plan that Lei Yuan had decided urgently, Deng Tong guarded the rear, Wu Ban and Lei Tong scattered their troops everywhere. Once they heard the order, they immediately threw a torch, first burned the granary and stables in the north, blocked the way for Cao's army to withdraw, and then immediately shrank, burned the forage along the way, and be sure to bury Cao's army in the fire; while Ma Dai and Ren Hui's troops gathered, they would cover the retreat of the entire army under Lei Yuan's direct command.
If you want to maximize the role of fire attack, you must let Cao's army go as deep as possible.
Then wait a little longer.
In such a short time, Lei Yuan could not think of a better solution. The situation became too fast and it was too difficult to respond. He only felt his thoughts were confused and his brain hurt, and he was simply overwhelmed.
The golden crow was about to fall, and a trace of chill began to appear in the air, but Lei Yuan wiped his face hard and wiped away more and more sweat. He had never believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods, but now he couldn't help asking for protection from God.
Please, no matter what, don't cause trouble.
Then he saw a cavalry of Cao army leaving the team and heading straight towards the forage field south of the official office.
God! You are harming me! Lei Yuan's blood is almost boiling.
He immediately thought that this was sent by Xu Chu to investigate the situation. Just now, the two armies entered the city from north to south, and they both met each other. Since Xu Chu entered the city, he asked the officials in the city and knew that they were not subordinates of the military commander, so he naturally had to send someone to investigate.
This guy really didn't delay at all, it came so quickly!
If this group of people is allowed to rush around, their own arrangements will inevitably be discovered. You must hold them back, just hold them back for a while!
Lei Yuan turned over and slipped down from the haystack.
"General?" Li Zhen asked forward.
Just now, Lei Yuan's whip was really hard. Now he saw half of his face swollen and his tongue was talking.
Lei Yuan didn't care about condolences to him, so he raised his hand and drew a circle: "You guys, come with me!"
The entourages got on their horses and rode forward with Lei Yuance.
In front of us is the place where Cao's army gathers. It's like a death sentence when it passes like this. If it is other soldiers, it is inevitable that they will hesitate, but these entourages are Lei Yuan's closest companions, and they follow orders without any wavering.
Following the winding road in the forage yard, running north for less than a hundred steps, I saw the Cao army cavalry on the side of a haystack.
The distance between the two sides quickly approached. The Cao army cavalry team suddenly dispersed from a straight line, and then gathered into a loose shape of a slit. The tip of the slit faced Lei Yuan and others. They did not have obvious hostility, nor were they nervous. This was just their normal response... They were indeed well-trained elites!
Lei Yuan heard the heavy breathing from the entourage behind him. They probably thought that Lei Yuan was about to attack the Cao army suddenly, so they all began to accumulate strength.
"Don't panic!" Lei Yuan shouted in a low voice.
The distance between the two sides continues to approach.
"General Wuwei Central Army led his army here. Which general are you subordinates? Ask someone who can manage the affairs to come out and meet General Xu!" An officer in the Cao army cavalry shouted loudly.
"I am Sima Lu Kai, a subordinate of General Fubo. Because I was forced by the enemy, I retreated into Runan and lost my way." Lei Yuan asked his entourage to stop and urged his horse to move forward a little: "It's great to meet General Xu's troops!"
The officer looked at Lei Yuan up and down: "Sima, another subordinate of General Fu Bo, I have never heard of it!"
Lei Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I was originally a subordinate of the Manchu Lord of Runan. I was transferred to General Fubo's command a few months ago. I had fought against Lei Yuan, Lujiang, before. General Xu, all the nobles of the escort Prime Minister Cao. I have never heard of us little soldiers. It is natural. Uh...but I don't know that there is a big name for the noble surname?"
The officer continued to look at Lei Yuan and suddenly interrupted him.
"Are you hot? Why are you sweating?"
Lei Yuan simply took off his helmet, raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat: "Cough cough, the defeated general is frightened day and night, fearing that the military law will severely punish him; today I meet General Xu and you, I am really happy and worried."
The officer sneered a few times. His eyes left Lei Yuan and turned to the entourages behind Lei Yuan.
"Yo..." He raised his hand and pointed: "That big man, come here!"
Lei Yuan looked in the direction of his finger and saw Chi Li Ningta.
"Yes, it's you, I'm calling you!" the officer continued to shout.
Lei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he shouted: "Chi Li Ningta, come!"
Chi Li Ningta looked at the people around her with a confused look on her face.
Li Zhen pushed him lightly and seriously, so he activated the war horse and came over swayingly.
His physique is too large. Although the war horse under his crotch is a carefully selected magnificent horse, compared with his sturdy body, he looks so thin and thin, just like an ordinary person riding a donkey, which looks a bit ridiculous.
Chi Li Ningta slowly rode his horse to Lei Yuan.
"What a great man!" The officer looked at his physique with envy: "Where are you from? When did you join the army?"
Chi Li Ningta frowned and thought for a while.
Once this stupid man said it, it was revealed! Lei Yuan tightened the reins and relaxed them again; relaxed the reins and held them tightly. He pretended to be relaxed and stretched his right hand casually on the hilt of the sword: "Application quickly, why are you standing there?"
Chi Li Ningta thought about it again and finally said loudly: "Work! Eat!"
The shout was loud enough. The officer Cao's army was startled and pulled back a little: "What did you say?"
Chapter completed!
