Chapter 57 Nansun Liu takes three states Sima Yi plans to slaughter the royal family 4
Li Ru was shocked by his own thoughts and Nan Ye's boldness, and at the same time, he was also excited. If Li Ru's inference is correct, it means that there are more than twice as few soldiers outside the city, indicating that Li Ru has a full opportunity to lead troops out of the city to catch Nanye.
Li Ru, who has a deep study of Nan Ye, understands that Nan Ye's position in the heart of the Jiaozhou army is definitely higher than that of Cao Pi in the Wei army, because Nan Ye is not only a political leader but also an irreplaceable spiritual leader, just similar to Zhang Lu in Han. Nanye's prestige makes him improve the morale of the Jiaozhou army as long as he appears on the battlefield. On the contrary, as long as he can catch or kill Nanye, the morale of the Jiaozhou army will be defeated. Even if Nan Ye can't be killed, but only to break Nan Ye's invincible myth, Li Ru can make a great reputation and even make a name in history.
The ** victory over Nanye did not make Li Ru lose his rationality, because he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhou army. If you make a mistake in your judgment, the soldiers and horses outside the city are not 50,000 but 100,000, then even if the Cao army in the city is exhausted, it is not Nanye's opponent. At this time, what Li Ru needs most is intelligence.
When Cao Zhang, Xia Houde and other generals heard Li Ru say that they were going out of the city attack camp, they were all stunned. Cao Zhang dared to take 100 soldiers and horses to rob the Wu army camp. He was too bold, but he felt that he was still less bold than Li Ru.
Xiahou still asked Li Ru incredulously, "Wen Xiansheng, the three roads outside the city are unmatched all the way. We will rob three camps at the same time, and there are only 5,000 people and horses, which is really difficult to win. In my opinion, it's better to work together to rob a camp.
Xia Houde also agreed: "What the virtuous brother said is right. You might as well rob Wu Jun's camp. Your Highness, a hundred horses can break the camp. If there are 15,000 horses, it may not be difficult to capture Sun Quan.
Li Ru said, "Generals, don't worry. Sun Quan and Liu Bei were mostly not in the camp at this time. I sent four people out of the city not to ask for victory, but to explore the reality of the camp under the city. You generals don't have to attack the camp, just walk around the camp and watch the virtual movement in the camp.
When everyone heard that it was just like this, they nodded and agreed. Li Ru then ordered Xia Houde, Niu Jin and Cao Zhang to lead 5,000 people to rob the three camps. Deng Yi led 5,000 troops to the north, leaving only Xiahou to defend the city.
Deng Yi asked, "All three generals went to rob the camp. What does it mean for me to go north?"
Li Ru said, "If you don't return to detail in the north, there will be an ambush, but I don't know how many. General Deng explored whether there were battalions in the north and the number of ambush soldiers.
Deng Yi asked again, "If there is no ambush and there is no camp, what should I do?"
Li Ru said: "In this way, there are not many ambush soldiers and they can't resist the army. General Deng doesn't have to go far away, just walk to the boundary gate and return to the city. Just don't forget to send a few people at the border gate to listen to the news of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou. If you encounter an ambush, General Deng can go back to the city and don't have to fight to the death.
Only then did the four generals sent to the city understand that Li Ru did not want to rob the camp at all, but to send 20,000 soldiers from the four gates. Even if Nanye has 300,000 troops under the city, it is impossible to capture all 20,000 people.
On that night, the four gates of Xuchang City were opened, and each team of 5,000 people and horses totaled 20,000, rushing from the gate to the four sides. Nanye has hidden whistles everywhere at the gates, and the boulders outside Xuchang City are the best cover. These secret whistles immediately return Nan Ye's people arranged in all directions.
Deng Yi is the most relaxed person tonight. He led the soldiers and horses out of the city, went forward, reached the boundary gate, sent meticulous work, and returned to the city. It's so simple and simple that Deng Yi can't believe it. There is no ambush and no camp. There is nothing other than the stone bomb of the stone truck except the north gate of Xuchang, and these huge stones are still thrown from the city, just to prevent the three families from attacking the city from the north.
Gao Shun led the trapped camp to ambush outside the north gate * Deng Yi's every move, but his eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if Deng Yi had not passed in front of him tonight.
Zhou Cang was next to Gao Shun. He didn't say a word like Gao Shun, because he knew that the forbearance trapped in the camp was not afraid of the 5,000 people, but that they had more important tasks. Originally, Nanye wanted Dian Wei to cooperate with Gao Shun on this task, but Zhou Cang volunteered to take over, because he knew that Dian Wei was not sure of the safety of Nanye's national teacher, and Nan Ye's task was no safer than Gao Shun.
Xia Houde, Niu Jin and Cao Zhang are not as lucky as Deng Yi. Cao Zhang was stationed in the west of the city because he successfully robbed the Wu military camp. Tonight's task is to rob the Wu military camp. For Cao Zhang, who has walked all over the Wu army camp with a hundred relatives, there are too many 5,000 soldiers, not to mention that this is just a small task to explore the reality.
Cao Zhang had no intention of letting the soldiers hide his whereabouts, nor did he order Cao soldiers to line up. It doesn't make much sense to hide the distance between one or two arrows. As long as Wu Jun's sentry doesn't sleep, he can soon find Cao Bing out of the city. What Cao Zhang has to do is to complete his task when Wu Jun is awakened by panic. As for the formation, it is even more impossible. The boulders outside the city can disrupt and disperse the neat queue and make them disorderly. Cao Zhang's order is very simple. It is led by Uncle Du, in a group of 100 people, rushing into the Wu military camp through the rocks. If you can beat it, you can fight it. If you can't beat it, you can run away, as long as you remember the layout of the camp.
Five thousand Cao soldiers are 50 hundred-man teams. Coupled with Cao Pi and his own team, 51 hundred-person team quickly crossed the rocky area. At this time, what appeared in front of them was a Thunderbolt car fixed on the ground, which looked not much different from those in the city, even simpler, but bigger.
If placed a few days ago, Cao Jun would not hesitate to burn the siege weapons in front of them, but at this time, they already knew that these Thunderbolt vehicles had no threat to the tall wall and were not the first target tonight, so they all bypassed the Thunderbolt vehicles and went to Wu Jun's camp.
Cao Zhang's action was very smooth, and even a little too smooth. Except for the flying flags and the brilliant lights, there was no soldier in the Wu military camp. Cao Zhang didn't think he was tricked, because even if he was detected by Wu Jun as soon as he left the city gate, Wu Jun could not withdraw from the camp in such a short time. Since there is only one explanation, Wu Jun has left long ago, which is completely consistent with Li Ru's expectations.
The empty camp made Cao Zhang admire Li Ru more. He picked up the torch burning in the Chinese army tent and threw it casually, and the Chinese army tent burned. Although there is nothing valuable here except a tent, lighting Sun Quan's handsome tent with his own hands still gave Cao Zhang a burst of pleasure.
Cao Zhang's pleasure did not last long, and a shout of killing came from the back of the camp, which made Cao Zhang frown. Obviously, this is not an empty camp, and there are soldiers stationed in the camp, but the number of soldiers is very small. In the camp of less than 100,000 people, the tent in the rear camp is enough, which is also the reason why Cao Zhang did not see people in the front camp and the middle army. However, this is not enough to surprise Cao Zhang. Li Ru expected that a small number of people and horses in the three battalions manipulated Thunderbolt cars. Now Cao Zhang only wants to know who is staying here, the Jiaozhou army or the Eastern Wu soldiers.
Soon Cao Zhang got the answer. Zhang Bai, riding a white horse, appeared in Cao Zhang's sight, and there were 100 ghosts behind him. At this time, the ghosts are not dressed as skeleton soldiers, but headless knights. **' horses don't know whether the black horse painted white dye or the white horse painted with black dye. In short, they are all painted like a skeleton war horse. Behind these ghosts, there are tens of thousands of horses galloping, all of Jiaozhou cavalry.
Cao Zhang has long heard of Nan Ye's ability to pretend to be a ghost. He is not afraid of Zhang Baiqi and ghosts, and a strong sense of war broke out in his eyes. Cao Zhang's relatives followed the fear in his heart, but Cao Zhang did not dare to leave. His will overcame fear, so that they could still stay where they were. However, the ordinary soldiers of Cao's army do not have such strong willpower. Not to mention that the ghosts are like evil spirits, even the 10,000 cavalry can't deal with 5,000 soldiers. What's more, they also got a military order: "If you can fight, fight if you can't beat them, run away."
Cao Bing, who were scattered all over Sun Quan's camp, shouted at the same time, and then turned around and ran away. Although Cao Zhang was not afraid of Zhang Baiqi, he was not stupid enough to fight with tens of thousands of cavalry. He also pulled his horse back. Anyway, his purpose of exploring the truth has been completed.
Cao Zhang wants to run, but where is Zhang Bai willing to ride? Jiaozhou cavalry are not the Dongwu cavalry without good horses. Their war horses do not have a bad horse. Soon the cavalry led by Zhang Baiqi caught up with Cao's army and began a massacre.
There are not many pawns in Xuchang City. Cao Zhang's 5,000 soldiers are mostly pawns. How can two legs run over four legs? Facing the cavalry behind him, Cao Chang could not avoid the death and injury of the soldiers at all, so he could only shout: "Fal away! Run to Stonehenge.
Even if Cao Zhang didn't say anything, Cao Bing also tried his best to run back. The huge stones outside the city can not only hinder the siege equipment, but also make the uneven ground make the cavalry lose its speed advantage. However, for Cao Bing, the short distance between the Wu army's camp and the boulder became a gap. Countless Cao soldiers fell on the way to escape, and few Cao soldiers could run to the boulder, and it was even more pitiful to return to the city.
A scene in the Wu camp in the west east of Xuchang City also appeared in Liu Bei's camp in the east of the city. The difference is that Niu Jin met Dian Wei. Although Dian Wei led only the ordinary Jiaozhou army, even the most ordinary Jiaozhou army was more than twice as powerful as Cao's, not to mention 10,000 to 5,000.
The Jiaozhou army led by Dian Wei did not have the speed advantage of cavalry, so it did not choose to pursue, but to wait for Niu Jin to lead the troops into the camp. The reason why it can be arranged in advance is that in addition to the secret whistle notification, Nan Ye and Guo Jia have long expected that Li Ru will not be trapped by the plot of virtual soldiers, and there will always be a day out of the city to explore.
Niu Jin's martial arts skills are not as good as Cao Zhang. How can he be afraid when he meets Dian Wei? Naturally, he also fled with a horse. Cao Bing behind him could not escape the fate of being killed by the double halberd of Dian Wei, and 90% of them went to a big war.
