Chen Lan looked at Cao Jun's camp from a distance. Behind him were some soldiers from Yangqu disguised as Cao Jun, as well as two carts pulling some "materials".
The cart was covered with tarpaulin and was obviously very heavy.
The banner flown by Chen Lan is still the same Han banner as Cao Jun.
The flag of the Han Dynasty is the same for everyone.
As for Cao Jun’s military flag, Chen Lan didn’t get it, so he simply didn’t display it.
"Cao's army has no more than 800 people. Divide the troops and go out. At least half of them are gone. It would be good if half of the people can be left in the camp..." Chen Lan said softly as he walked, as if to give to those around him.
The encouragement seems to give oneself confidence, "We don't need to fight all Cao Jun's soldiers, we only need to burn Cao Jun's baggage... Of course, it would be better if we can chop off some heads and get more meritorious deeds..."
…』
Chen Lan looked back at the black smoke on the mountain in the distance, "Cao Jun can definitely see this smoke, so General Cao Jun must go check there first... We just need to go quickly before General Cao Jun returns with his people."
"Come out...Ma Saburo, take the people to the front. Remember, pretend to be decent. If you can avoid alerting Cao Jun, it's best to sneak in first..."
"Chen Wu, follow the cart with your archers," Chen Lan ordered again, "If something goes wrong, shoot those Cao Jun military schools and the archers on the sentry tower first!"
"After we enter Cao Jun's camp, we will immediately rush to the rear camp, burn their luggage, and then circle back from the ravine to prevent being blocked by the returning Cao Jun..."
"Do you remember everything?" Chen Lan turned her head and looked around and asked.
Everyone responded one by one.
There seemed to be some voices responding even inside the car.
"Hey, don't say anything in the car..." Chen Lan waved her hand, "Let's go, let's go! Now we are Cao Jun, hold your head high and chest out! Let's go!"
If we make a relatively simple measurement based on the values in the game, then except for those top generals in the world, most people's force values are basically around 50 or 60, and the weak and old people have dropped to 30.
Forty, or even lower, but that doesn't mean that people with a value of thirty or forty can't kill people.
In later generations, when couples quarreled, there were many cases of blood splattering in anger, and it was not necessarily the man who won. There were women who chopped off each other's heads with kitchen knives and scissors...
Therefore, the force value alone does not necessarily determine the outcome of the battle. There are too many related factors.
For example, Chen Lan is somewhat courageous and knowledgeable, but she has always been unknown before.
Are there only those famous generals in the Three Kingdoms?
There are more people like Chen Lan, but they just don’t have the opportunity or space to show them, or even if they show it, they may not be recorded by the ruling class...
…
…
Outside Cao Jun's camp.
Masaburo was walking in the front, and the bag on his head was tilted to the side, as if it would fall off at the next moment, so he had to jog a few steps to hold him up, and then jog a few steps to hold him up again.
Normally, Doucheng has a lace, and it must be tied according to military regulations. However, on the one hand, the lace is easy to break, and on the other hand, it is uncomfortable to tie it tightly and strangle the throat, so many soldiers are lazy and do not tie it.
Just like many motorcycle riders in later generations do not fasten the straps of their helmets, or even bother to wear them.
"Hurry! Hurry! Open the door! Come! Come and lend a hand!"
Masanlang held the crooked bag with one hand and greeted the soldiers on duty outside Cao Jun's camp with the other.
Behind Masanuro followed two large carts. There were no mules and horses, and they were all dragged and pushed by manpower. Several people were in front of the cart and behind the cart, gasping from exhaustion. The cart was covered with cloth, and the wheels were deeply sunk into the loose soil.
You can tell by looking at it that it carries a lot of stuff and is very heavy.
When the soldiers on duty outside Cao Jun's camp saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up. How good are these two big cars? Without even thinking about it, they leaned their spears against the pillars of the camp beside them and hurriedly ran up.
.
Without saying a word, one of them stepped forward, stretched out his paws to lift the cover on the vehicle, and muttered, "Do you have any fur? Give me a piece first! This damn weather is going to freeze you to death!"
Masaburo quickly stopped him, "This can't be done! This...these are all numbered...don't move! Hahaha, there's more behind, there's more behind..."
"Behind?" The Cao Jun soldier guarding the gate muttered, put down his paws, and looked behind him while saying, "These damn dogs only know how to drink soldiers' blood when they kill talented people... Where did you go to get so many good things?"
thing?"
"That way, toward the mountain..." Masaburo responded casually, and then dragged the vehicle forward.
The soldiers of Cao's army who were guarding the gate didn't look like they were there. They didn't come up to help. Instead, they looked at the black smoke rising from the other side of the mountain and said, "Is it over there? Why didn't I see it when I passed by before?"
Masaburo didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't speak, and he and the others just tried their best to drag him forward, with sweat rolling down his head.
Commander Cao Jun looked at it and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The reason why something was wrong was not that he didn't know Masaburo or that there were any flaws in his armor and disguise, but another reason...
The ability to remember faces varies from person to person. Some people can remember it just by looking at it, and some people still remember it wrong when they see it every day. It is impossible for a military commander like Cao Cao to remember it.
The face of everyone in the army, so he didn't even care when Masaburo and others came and felt strange.
As for the costumes that look a bit like those of the Hussars, that's not a problem.
Xiahou Dun occupied Jinyang, and some of the standard armors originally in the warehouses of Jinyang naturally became Cao Jun's armors, so there is nothing to make a fuss about using them mixedly.
What surprised Commander Cao Jun was the "diligence" attitude of Masanlang and others...
Do you need to be so serious?
What are you doing other than just messing around for a day?
Why are you working so hard? Can you get one more bite to eat?
Whose body does it belong to when you push and pull such a heavy car so hard?
The commander of Cao's army stood aside with some suspicion in his eyes. He felt that Ma Sanlang and others did not look like Shandong people, at least the Shandong soldiers were not so desperate...
Before Commander Cao Jun could say anything, he felt someone suddenly coming from behind. Just as he was about to turn around, an arm strangled his neck, and a cold sharp knife seemed to be inserted into the gap between the armor under his back ribs.
Suddenly, all the hairs on my body stood up, "You...you..."
Chen Wuyi put his arms around Shi Chang's neck and whispered: "Want to die or live? If you want to live, just shut up! Otherwise... humph..."
Cao Jun's eyes rolled around wildly, and he nodded repeatedly without saying a word.
The commander of Cao's army thought that even if these guys could get in, they would be discovered by people in the camp, and then he would have a chance to escape. However, he did not expect that the soldiers of Cao's army in the camp also thought the same way, and saw that the camp gate was on duty.
No alarm was issued, so naturally there was not much thought to take care of it, so Chen Lan and others were allowed to sneak into the camp...
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After Chen Lan and others entered the camp, they lifted the cover of the vehicle, jumped out of the vehicle with a roar, and either threw fire heads or chopped people into the camp. In a moment, Cao Jun's camp was full of people.
There was chaos inside.
Chen Lan shouted: "The Hussars are coming! Run!"
Masanlang didn't care about the crooked and unsuitable bag, so he let the bag hang crookedly on his head, and started shouting. Now he shouted that the hussar army was coming, and now he shouted that the army lord Qu Chang was dead.
It was because Masanlang and others didn't know Xia Houcheng's name, otherwise they would have shouted that so-and-so was killed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Kill!"
"The hussars are coming!"
"Run quickly!"
This kind of unreasonable shouting may not be deceived as long as you calm down a little, or if you carefully observe the surrounding situation, you will find that the so-called "horse army" does not exist at all, but even if it is so clueless,
The shouting was mindless, and Chen Lan and his group were causing chaos and setting fires. No one came out to stop Cao Jun's camp. It was as if the camp had been blown up, and everyone was buzzing and running around.
The people running in front of the camp were probably stunned by the killings by Chen Lan and others at first. They subconsciously avoided it, thinking of going to the middle of the camp where there were many people to seek safety. However, the people in the middle of the camp didn't know where they were and ran away when they saw the front.
The people just turned around and ran away without thinking, causing Cao's soldiers in the entire camp to run away in panic.
Everyone knows that if someone steps forward to turn the tide at this time, this kind of riot can be stopped without saying anything. But everyone hopes that it is others who can turn the tide, and it is others who are facing swords and guns. They only need to follow, but in the end no one
take the lead……
Xia Houcheng was anxious to seize the horses as his own meritorious service, and he could not wait any longer. One of his deputies, Wang Tiansheng, followed him and died on Guaizi Mountain.
There was originally a deputy in the military camp, but unfortunately he had to be on guard duty last night. As a result, he was on duty all night. The cold wind blew all night and he didn't even see a hair. In the morning, he said he saw a tribe of barbarians, and then
He was left to guard the camp again. So he naturally went back to the tent to sleep. When Chen Lan and his party came in, he was deeply asleep and couldn't wake up for a long time.
Without a leader, Cao's army was in chaos. Cao's soldiers fled in all directions. No one knew why this happened or where Xia Houcheng went...
…
…
Xia Houcheng was gathering the remaining defeated generals at Guaizi Mountain and walked back leisurely.
"Disposal" of the wounded will take some time, and will also lead to a decrease in morale.
Before leaving, Xia Houcheng also summoned everyone to line up for a lecture, promised rewards, and drew some pancakes that most people could not eat. Then he promoted people on the spot and gave out some small positions that were vacant due to injuries and deaths.
Only then could the general's morale and morale be restored.
Doing these things will of course take a certain amount of time.
As a result, Xia Houcheng and his men were not halfway back when they saw black smoke rising from their camp!
Xia Houcheng was suddenly startled and almost dropped the spear in his hand, "Why are you so fat?!"
Xia Houcheng hurriedly urged people to go check, but the information he got back made him almost fall off his horse on the spot, "An army of hussars? Where did this army come from?!"
Looking at the dejected soldiers of Cao's army, who were all in a state of utter confusion, Xia Houcheng suppressed his anger and asked: "Where is Chang Shi?" Chang Chang is the middle- and lower-level sergeant who stayed in the barracks. Now that something happened in the barracks, Xiahou Cheng
Ask him first.
"Army Sima... Shi Quchang, he... didn't see anyone..." the soldier reported back, "I can't say I'm afraid, it's already..."
"What's going on?!" Xia Houcheng asked.
Before the soldiers could elaborate, Xia Houcheng heard a loud noise from behind his queue!
Xia Houcheng looked back like a frightened bird, and saw pillars of yellow dust rising in the distance. There was also the faint sound of horse hooves, as if a large number of cavalry were swarming in!
Xia Houcheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Withdraw!"
The deputy was killed, the soldiers were dejected, and the camp was destroyed. No matter how ambitious Xia Houcheng was, he couldn't hold on any longer. He could only urgently issue an order for the entire army to retreat, and even sent people to look back to see where the smoke was rising.
I don’t dare to...
…
…
On the hillside, Chen Lan and the leaders of Bai Shiqiang looked at the dejected soldiers of Cao's army winding along the mountain road in the distance.
Behind Chen Lan and the Baishi Qiang leader, some Baishi Qiang tribesmen were taking down branches and forks tied behind the horses.
Bai Shiqiang is a businessman. Of course he is good at business, but it does not mean that he is good at fighting. But to scare people, it is related to business. There is no business without treachery. The bluff is written in the flesh and blood. What about tying some branches and so on?
It's not a great strategy. The key lies in where it is used or how it is used...
"Magistrate Chen is really very wise. How do you know that Cao Jun did not dare to look back?" asked the leader of the Baishi Qiang.
"If it was at the beginning, Cao Jun would definitely send someone to investigate," Chen Lan smiled, "But now... they have no courage..."
From Cao Jun's point of view, Baishi Qiang came pretending to be a large-scale cavalry unit, which gave Xiahou Cheng a sufficient excuse. Anyway, everyone saw the towering smoke and dust sweeping from the rear, saying that a large cavalry army was coming.
There was no problem, and in this way, Xia Houcheng's own failure became an acceptable result.
When the hussar army comes, what does Xia Houcheng's defeat mean? It's impossible to say that he still has merit!
After all, being able to survive under a large hussar army and still save most of the soldiers, but only losing some artifacts, can it be said that the command is well-organized and the advance and retreat are measured?
Of course, what Chen Lan didn't say was that if his attack on Cao's camp was unfavorable, Bai Shiqiang's wave of people could also be used as a means to disrupt Cao's army, giving Chen Lan and him a chance to escape...
Hussar often says that everything must be planned. In fact, in the art of war, think about defeat before thinking about victory.
Chen Lan understands this deeply.
Watching Cao Jun go away, Chen Lan said to the leader of Bai Shiqiang: "There is still a big business... Chief, do you want to listen to it?"
The leader of the Baishi Qiang laughed and said, "Magistrate Chen is too polite. Please speak, please speak..."
Chen Lan said slowly, "I heard that these Cao soldiers destroyed a lot of your cattle and sheep before... Although I said I would compensate you for these cattle and sheep, but let these guys go like this... What do you think, leader?"
, will the people in your tribe have any grievances?』
"Hmm..." The leader of Baishi Qiang couldn't help but turn around and look at his tribesmen, and then laughed twice, "What can it be... Haha, Magistrate Chen, just tell me, what is it?"
"I said, it's business." Chen Lan raised her hand and pointed at the retreating figure of Cao Jun, "These heads of Cao Jun are big business!"
The Baishi Qiang leader laughed and originally wanted to refuse, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips, and then frowned and thought.
This is indeed big business...
The Baishi Qiang people are not afraid of business, but they are afraid of no business.
Chen Lan said slowly, "Chief, do you think Cao Jun is scary? You see, these Cao Jun soldiers are not invincible... They will die if they are cut with swords, and they will die if they are hit by arrows. And these Cao Jun soldiers will die."
, the heads of soldiers are quite valuable... just like what we did today, is it difficult to find an opportunity to kill one or two? Didn't we just win today? So... you know what I mean
Huh? Chief, you have been doing business with various tribes here a long time ago. I would go to those leaders and tell them, and it would definitely be better than you... And the most important thing is that I am the magistrate of Yangqu County, and I said it must be here.
Yes, you can’t leave at will... You must also know that there are some men in the tribe who are brave but can’t find any suitable way... Now, is this a good opportunity? Is it a big business?
?』
"This... you make sense..." The leader of the Baishi Qiang nodded quickly this time, and patted his chest, "My sword is not dull yet, and my horse is not tired yet! They killed our cattle.
Sheep, our people, have to pay a sufficient price! But... I want to be sure, if we capture the heads of these guys, how will the battle merit assessment be calculated?"
Chen Lan nodded and said, "Your combat merit calculation is the same as that of the Han people! Absolutely the same!"
The Baishi Qiang leader laughed, "Your Majesty, Baishi God! This is what you said!"
"I said it! I swear!" Chen Lan repeated, stretching out her palm, "Absolutely exactly the same!"
The Baishi Qiang leader slapped Chen Lan's palm, "That's it!"
Immediately, the leader of the Baishi Qiang laughed loudly and walked towards his tribe, "My sons! Big business is coming..."
…
…
No matter how great the war, no matter how grand the battle, it is often composed of small battlefields and messy chapters one after another. However, this battle in Taiyuan County was first launched by Xiahou Dun.
After Yangqu, Cao Jun seemed to have reached a peak, but soon began to decline. The reason why they felt more and more anxious was because of Chen Lan in Yangqu.
Sudden inspiration?
Just like what Chen Lan said, even if these nomadic people have settled down, there are always some people who are not willing to accept the status quo and are unwilling to serve cattle, sheep and crops every day. This time, Cao Jun's attack became the best for these people.
Show stage. In comparison, the hussars with good reputation are obviously more trustworthy than Cao's army.
In the entire Taiyuan area, due to years of cooperation, trade, and mutually dependent production and survival relationships, the Han and Hu people have changed from the separation and mutual hostility during the Huan Ling period. Instead, because of the invasion of Cao Jun, and because of Chen Lan
In this way, the existence of Han officials who were willing to treat Hu and Han equally, united with each other, worked together, dispersed countless hunting teams, launched counterattacks against Cao Jun's invasion, ambushed, harassed, hunted...
