Chapter 115 Jumping like thunder

Not long after, the battalion of the officers and soldiers woke up in the sound of warning gongs. Whose confused officers and soldiers were awakened from their dreams. They didn't know what had happened. Many officers and soldiers rushed out of the camp and looked around. Some officers and soldiers screamed in panic and wandered around the camp.

At this time, there was a sound of killing everywhere in the officers and soldiers' camp. During this period, there was also a roar. After the flash, a group of officers and soldiers often screamed and fell down. Soon, torches were lit everywhere in the camp, and these torches flew everywhere and were thrown on the tents of the officers and soldiers, coated with tung oil to prevent. The water-clothed camp tent stuck to the flame, and it soon burned and caused a fire. Some officers and soldiers who did not dare to hide in the tent were immediately burned into turkeys. The flames wrapped around screaming and burst out and bumped around. As a result, more tents were ignited, and at the same time caused greater chaos.

In the middle of the night, the battalion of officers and soldiers immediately opened the pot, full of all kinds of exclamation and screams, and occasionally mixed with a roar or two. No one could figure out what had happened and how much the enemy had come. Some officers tried to suppress the chaos of their men, but this chaos at night. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were wrapped in chaos at this time, and fires were ignited in many places.

Cao Wenyao and Yu Fuxiang were awakened by the sudden sound of alarm gongs in their dreams. As soon as they heard the chaos in the camp, they realized what had happened, so they immediately rushed out of the big account and quickly ordered to collect the soldiers and horses, and search for the enemy to clear the enemy who entered the camp. However, in the chaos, their military order could not be conveyed, so they could only see Watching the chaos spread everywhere in the camp like waves, Cao Wenyao stood in front of the big tent and cursed.

His family quickly put on his armor and sent his waist knife to his hand. Cao Wenyao immediately entered the camp with his family and personally suppressed the chaos. As long as he saw panicked soldiers rushing to them, Cao Wenyao immediately raised his knife and cut him to the ground and ordered The men shouted in unison: "General Cao is here, don't be confused! Sit down on the spot! Sit down on the spot!"

In this way, he collected a group of chaotic officers and soldiers, but even so, this chaotic situation could not be suppressed by his own power. What angered Cao Wenyao was seven orifices and scolded the thief army for being immoral.

Later, the attack camp began to gradually evolve into a camp roar. In the darkness, many officers and soldiers rushed out of the tents could not tell whether they were friendly or enemies around them at all. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, someone waved their weapons in their hands and greeted the people around them regardless of the enemy and me. Once someone began to do this, More people began to do this. In order to save their lives, they couldn't care who they were around them. As long as there was a shadow approaching them, they would cut it down with a knife. In this way, once the camp roar happened, it could not be controlled.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Cao Wenyao was really helpless and had to take those who had been taken by him

Fortunately, the number of thieves who stole the camp was very small, and after they rushed into the camp, they quickly dispersed and passed through the camp. Along the way, they threw thunderbolt and torches, which made the army's chaos, and these dead men did not want to kill the officers and soldiers more. They just set fire everywhere. They only wielded their knives to kill when necessary, and then In addition, the army battalion is really dense. After completing the attack, they quickly passed through the battalion, killed it from the other end, and quickly disappeared in the mountain on the other side.

If it hadn't been for Cao Wenyao's order to camp too far away from the official road this time, with this attack, if Liu Yao led the brigade to kill closely, maybe Cao Wenyao would not have to fight again in this battle. He would directly collapse a hundred miles and clean up the guys and go home to wash and sleep.

Cao Wenyao withdrew from the battalion with some of the soldiers, and personally led the troops to stand in front of the battalion, for fear that the thief army would send more troops to the camp at night. Fortunately, until dawn, the thief army did not send a large number of soldiers to attack, which always made Cao Wenyao a little better.

After the sky was bright, a large number of officers and soldiers began to wake up from the camp roar. Looking around, they found that they had been fighting all night and were fighting with their own people. A large number of officers and soldiers could be said to have fallen innocently under the sharp blade of their peers, but they did not see the shadow of the enemy at all.

Cao Wenyao also didn't dare to lead his troops into the camp until dawn. When he saw the tragic situation in the camp, his face turned pale and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Originally planned to send troops at dawn, after the roar of the camp caused by the enemy attack, everything became a bubble. Cao Wenyao had to give up the plan and began to clean up the camp again to count the losses that had been chaotic this night.

Yu Fuxiang was not stupid. As soon as the camp Xiao appeared, he also withdrew from the camp with his family and some soldiers who were not wrapped in the camp. Outside the camp, he watched the camp chaos in the middle of the night. Then he returned to the camp after dawn and followed Cao Wenyao to clean up the mess.

After a day of cleaning up, Cao Wenyao was even more dizzy. After the whole inventory, they only found the bodies of more than 30 thieves in the camp, but their officers and soldiers killed more than 600 people overnight and injured hundreds of people at the same time. Not to mention that, the carts pulling forage with the army were also attacked by the thieves in the camp. More than half of them were set on fire. By the way, they also detonated a large car full of gunpowder, killing and injuring many officers and soldiers. Even several cannons of the officers and soldiers were lifted into the sky. A medium-sized bead cannon was even directly blown out of the camp and fell outside the camp fence. The barrel was also distorted into a twist. It's impossible to fix it.

What made Cao Wenyao even more angry was the thousands of people who followed the army. Ying Xiao fled the official camp at night and hid in the mountains on all sides. Only a small part of them came back after dawn. The rest were either oily on the soles of their feet, or they were so scared that they hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

Before facing the thieves, they suffered such a heavy blow first. It was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers, which made these officers and soldiers suddenly lose confidence and cleaned up the camp in the camp under the command of the officers.

"The thief will bully me too much! You bully me too much!" Standing on the Arrow Tower of the door and looking at a team carrying the bodies of officers and soldiers out of the battalion, Cao Wenyao's lips trembled and muttered.

Yu Fuxiang stood behind him and listened to his words silently, because he really had nothing to say. Cao Wenyao was careless, and even he was as careless. No one expected that the thieves would launch such a surprise attack before they arrived, and caught them off guard. This made him worry about the future war. Can this battle continue? This is not only a problem in Yu Fuxiang's heart, but also a problem in the hearts of all officers and soldiers.

"You can't withdraw troops! Absolutely can't withdraw!" Cao Wenyao stood in the big tent that had just been cleaned up and slapped on the big case. Even the arrow pot with the dressing arrow on the desk was shaken under the big case by his palm, and the arrow fell to the ground.

The generals in the account couldn't help but get nervous and bowed their heads one after another. Among them, two generals were injured. Obviously, they were injured by their own people when the Xingtian army attacked the camp and caused the camp roar. They were all pale and a little depressed.

When they came, they didn't hear about the strength of the thief army, but after Cao Wenyao reported the situation of the enemy, they were still relatively optimistic. They thought that their troops were far more than the thief army. There should be no problem in defeating Lushi County. It was as easy as shooting flies with 10,000 people to fight 2,000 thieves. Who would have thought that it hadn't arrived yet? In Lushi County, the thief army first gave them a downing, and took advantage of the night attack camp to make them roar, so that they lost more than 10% of their troops before the fight began.

As a result, many people had the intention to retreat. Some people proposed to temporarily withdraw from the army and go back to Hanguguan first. After the rectification, it was not too late to attack Lu's County. However, Cao Wenyao was so angry as soon as someone put forward this opinion.

"Absolutely no more withdrawal! I don't care who you used to follow. Now I'm in charge! Whoever dares to mention the retreat in the camp, I will treat him with a charge of confusing the heart of the army and ask for his head!

This time, the thieves attacked the camp, which was indeed beyond our expectations, but why did the thieves do this? Have you all thought about it? It is because of the lack of strength of the thief army that they use this trick to deal with us! I just want to use this kind of trick to disrupt our military hearts and force us to withdraw our troops! How can I, Cao, make them all at their own?

Although the thieves of the Xiao Camp caused us some losses the night before last, we didn't hurt our muscles and bones. At least you are still standing here. We still have 7,000 available soldiers. As for the lack of auxiliary soldiers, what are we afraid of? As long as you break through the defense line of the Guandaokou thief army, you can use it when you enter Lushi County!

You are also people of the army. We are here for wealth. How can we retreat after a small setback? Today, I explained that if anyone wants to return to Hanguguan again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Now we will go down immediately to clean up the soldiers and horses, and we will send troops to the entrance tomorrow morning! I don't believe it. There are only two thousand thieves who can stop our army. It's really beyond our ability! ......”

After listening to it, the generals didn't dare to say anything more. They all peeked at the guard standing next to him, and the guard stood like an old monk. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him, so the generals had to bow to take the order and shook their heads and quit Cao Wenyao's big The account began to follow the instructions, go down to prepare the soldiers and horses, and be ready to go to war tomorrow.

"Yu Shoubei, do you think there is something wrong with me to do this?" After seeing that the generals had withdrawn from the big account, Cao Wenyao asked Yu Fuxiang, who had never spoken.

Yu Zhanbei bowed and replied, "Lord Cao said in time. Although we have suffered a small setback, our troops still far exceed the number of thieves, and the main force of the thieves is still in the Ruyang and Yichuan area hundreds of miles away. We can't come back here in a short time. We still have time to break through the Guandaokou, Kefu Lushi County! "

Seeing Yu Fuxiang's answer, Cao Wenyao nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the thief army really lives up to its reputation, insidious and cunning! It seems necessary to be more careful in the future! Yu Zhanbei, you should also go down and raise some soldiers as soon as possible, and get ready to go to war tomorrow! The key to this battle is to attack Lushi County as soon as possible and rush to defeat Lushi County before the main force of the thief army returns. If we drag a large number of thieves to help, I'm afraid it will be hard to say at that time!"

Yu Fuxiang nodded and bowed and said, "I'm obedient!" ......”
