Chapter 372 Xiahou Yuan Stealing the Camp

In the camp, Gao Shun arranged a banquet for several generals.

The central army was small, and only Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Yi, the captain of the camp.

Everyone drinks and eats meat, are they so happy?

Zhao Yun had a straightforward personality. He drank a glass of water and asked, "General Gao, I see the battle situation today. As long as I work harder, I should be able to attack the city. Why has the infantry not been able to break the city for a long time?"

Because the main force Gao Shun's infantry has been reluctant to climb the city for a long time, it makes people feel reluctant to let go and preserve their strength?

Gao Shun took out the military order of Lu Bu and sent it to all the generals. Lu Bu wrote that Gao Shun would attack for three days. Three days later, if the reinforcements of Xuzhou army were not immediately withdrawn to Jizhou.

"The lord didn't explain why. It might be that Yuan Shang's army in Bingzhou had abnormal movements, or that the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in northern Youzhou had abnormal movements. If we fight head-on here, it would be difficult for Xiahou Yuan's elite soldiers to deal with them, and they would suffer a lot of casualties. In this way, Jizhou may be difficult to protect. Although our soldiers are elite, their number is limited, and it is difficult to fight on both sides."

Zhao Yun blushed and bowed and bowed: "I was the one who blamed General Gao for wrongly."

"It's okay, it's always good to say anything in person."

Yan Liang pondered for a moment: "Now Chenliu's side should be almost over. It is a sure thing to attack Cao Ren's team with the elite troops of the lord."

Yan Liang guessed it right. At this time, Lu Bu had already taken down Chenliu City and shelled Cao Hong.

However, Chenliu is three hundred miles away from Puyang, and there is no post station in the middle. He needs to use a cavalry team to convey information. The speed is relatively slow, only 150 or 60 miles a day.

Lu Su was soaked with oil: "I want me to tell you, no one of you guessed correctly. It must be that the lord invented some new weapon. After the battle of Chenliu, he will be sent to our Puyang to reduce energy consumption and preserve strength. But what you analyzed is reasonable. We have too few soldiers. We have few soldiers because of the small population. If we raise too many soldiers, we cannot support it."

After talking about military affairs, a group of old men started chatting.

Zhang Yi asked with a smile: "Counselor Lu, has the Da Qiao introduced to you by the lord become?"

Lu Su smiled and smiled proudly.

"It's done, but Da Qiao is in Jinling, and it takes more than 2,000 miles to come to Jizhou, which is very inconvenient. After this battle, he will return to Xuzhou to get married."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people's thoughts were still very different. Marrying someone's wife was a fashion and not embarrassing.

For example, Guan Yu often missed Qin Yilu's wife. Not to mention Cao Cao.

Da Qiao is Sun Ce's woman, but after Sun Ce was gone, Da Qiao was still very young, only in her twenties.

Of course, Gong Qiao would not look at his daughter being a widow. If you want to introduce her, you have to introduce a good one. Most people cannot catch Da Qiao's eyes.

None of the big and thick men under Lu Bu looked down on, just like the gentle Lu Su.

In fact, they were all deceived by Lu Su's appearance. Lu Su was also a roar. He liked to study but did not seek much understanding. He liked to dance with swords and guns the most.

He married two wives in his early years, and Da Qiao came here to be considered the third wife.

Lu Su asked Zhao Yun again: "How is General Zhao? Have you married a new partner recently?"

Zhao Yun shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. How dare I, the tiger at home is very strict."

Everyone laughed and tears fell down.

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun can be regarded as a clear stream of the times. Especially Gao Shun, he is only one wife, a big and sturdy wife whom he married in his teenage years. Now he is the supervisor of a clothing store. The family can't get together for a few days a year.

Gao Shun didn't take a concubine, didn't like drinking, didn't marry a concubine, was strict with himself and was lenient to others. This is the fundamental reason why Lu Bu reused him.

Gao Shun was worried that Xiahou Yuan would rob the camp at night and did not dare to drink too much. Yan Liang was on duty in the first half of the night and Zhao Yun was on duty in the second half of the night.

After sleeping until midnight, Gao Shun woke up and asked the soldiers at the door: "When is it?"

"Return to the general, just after midnight."

Gao Shun went out neatly and saw Zhao Yun standing behind the fence with more than 3,000 cavalrymen.

"General Zhao, what's the situation?"

"Please look at General Gao. The fire in the city is very bright. It is impossible to make a meal after ordering it. The only explanation is that you are gathering troops and you may come to steal the camp in a while."

Gao Shun immediately ordered Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, you go out of the camp from behind and find a place to rest. I will take some archers to guard the fence. Once the enemy steals the camp, we will attack with two."

"good."

Zhao Yun led his troops out of the camp. The three thousand cavalry slept for two hours in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night was the most sleepy. At this time, he went out of the camp to find a place, and they all fell asleep on the back of the war horses with their cloaks. This was a compulsory course for qualified cavalry, and they were trapped in the saddle bridge.

Gao Shun quietly called three thousand archers, and everyone was wearing military coats and lying behind the fence.

More than an hour later, Gao Shun's eyelids also started fighting, and Ye Xiao let out a strange cry.

At this time, a rustling sound came from the north. Gao Shun looked at it and it turned out to be a cavalry.

One wakes up and the other is ready for the crossbow, and the archer is ready.

When the distance was less than 100 meters, Gao Shun suddenly ordered to light the torch.

Countless torches lit up, and Xiahou Yuan came to steal the camp, but unexpectedly he stole the hammer.

Countless feather arrows flew behind the fence.

Xiahou Yuan yelled: "If you have an ambush, retreat quickly."

It is very common to steal a camp, and the retreat plan has been planned long ago. You detour through the west gate and enter the city from the west gate.

Xiahou Yuan led his troops and didn't run far away, and suddenly he heard people shouting and neighing.

Zhao Yun led thousands of cavalry to arrive, and Zhao Zilong, a silver spear and white horse, headed straight to Xiahou Yuan.

Originally, Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun had no problem fighting for dozens of rounds, but this time it was different. The camp failed and the heart was in chaos. After only more than twenty rounds of battle, Zhao Yun stabbed his shoulder blade and fell on the saddle and fled in a panic.

Zhao Yun chased and drove him out for several miles before he stopped his troops.

After counting his own side, more than 20 people were killed and more than 100 injured.

There were at least five or six hundred cavalrymen who annihilated Xiahou Yuan, and the battle loss ratio was still very good.

Xiahou Yuan also had more than 100 wounded soldiers, and Zhao Yun speared his gun: "If you want to survive, put down your weapons and armor. I will arrange for the military doctor to treat your injuries. Anyone who dares to do something will be chopped down. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Zhao Yun came back with hundreds of horses, and this time he made a great contribution.

A heavy hand is indispensable in the credit book.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan had already thought of the sneak attack tonight, and he had been suppressed and beaten, and his morale was sluggish. Sooner or later, if this continues, it will be done.

Who would have thought that if you steal chickens and lose a lot of rice, you won’t lose much, hundreds of cavalrymen, but it will have a huge blow to morale.

Xiahou Yuan looked unhappy when he came back, and Yu Jin advised: "General Xiahou, let's do it steadily. Put a layer of soil on the shield board on the city wall tomorrow morning to prevent the fire from spreading, so that you will not be afraid of enemy rockets. In addition, prepare more fire-extinguishing objects on the city wall."
