Chapter five hundred and ninth night attack
At the end of summer, the night wind was still hot, but for some reason, Cao Xiu, who was patrolling the camp, suddenly shivered.
"Is there any movement in Yique Pass?" Cao Xiu didn't care, but just thought it was a normal reaction. When he saw a scout who was out on patrol, he asked.
"Return to General, there is no movement in Yique Pass." The scout bowed.
"Don't be careless." Cao Xiu nodded. In fact, Sima Yi and him had said before separating the troops, beware of Guan Yu's counterattack. Although the 50,000 troops were large, there were many Han troops under Guan Yu's command, and they were quite brave. If they came to raid, it would be quite difficult. If you were not careful, it might directly cause the bombing camp.
In fact, there is no need for Sima Yi to say that Cao Xiu would not take it lightly. After all, he almost grew up listening to Guan Yu's name. However, now Guan Yu leads his army to attack Sima Yi. Cao Xiu is worried about whether Sima Yi can defend the gathering of Yang people, but his vigilance against Yiqueguan has also been reduced a lot because of Guan Yu's departure.
After all, in Cao Xiu's opinion, there are not many outstanding generals. Whether it is Liao Hua or Mi Fang, although they have been fighting for so many years, they are not considered powerful figures. Therefore, although they should not be careless, in fact, Cao Xiu's vigilance towards Yiqueguan has been much relaxed.
After a routine inspection, Cao Xiu returned to his tent to rest, and there was no arrangement for the inspection outside the camp at night.
First, the effect is not great, second... It seems that Guan Yu is not there, and he doesn't seem to be necessary.
I just don’t know why, but I feel a little restless when I am on the bed tonight, and I always feel like something is going to happen.
Yique Pass was above Yishui, sandwiched between Luhun Mountain and Dagu Mountain. The night wind was very strong. I lay on the couch and listened to the howling wind outside the tent. I felt sleepy, but I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned until the middle of the night. I began to feel a little sleepy and closed my eyes in a daze.
"Enemy attack!"
The shrill scream came to an abrupt end, but the entire military camp felt ache in its lungs. Cao Xiu was asleep clearly and heard the scream, but he did not react at the first time. In fact, he was still in a half-sleeping and half-awake state at that time, and he did not react for a while.
Until the chaos and fighting sounds in the camp became fierce, Cao Xiu suddenly rolled down from the couch with a shiver, and he was secretly yelling that he was not good enough, so he took off his sword and walked out.
The guards outside the tent had already surrounded him. Cao Xiu drew his sword and stood up, shook his head fiercely, and slapped himself again, and his palms were clearly printed on his face. His mind finally became clearer. The chaos ahead had begun to spread to this side. The sound of weapons colliding, screams, and fighting sounds were heard, and the gathering of sounds to pieces the silence of the night.
"What happened!?" Cao Xiu took the reins handed over by Qin Wei and frowned.
"General, Guan Yu led his army to raid!" The personal guards actually didn't know what was going on. The chaos ahead was spreading, and there were all shouting in the chaos.
"How could Guan Yu be here?" Cao Xiu frowned and snorted coldly when he heard this. This was just a bluff of the other party. He said coldly: "Don't panic. The thief army will attack the camp. The number of people will definitely not be large. Gather the troops and follow me to strangle the enemy!"
"Here!" The guards agreed and followed Cao Xiu to the chaotic soldiers in front.
When he arrived at the front line, he saw a general leading hundreds of Han troops to rush left and right in the military camp, constantly throwing torches around, igniting many camp tents.
Seeing the man, Cao Xiu said coldly: "Liao Hua? I don't know how to live or die!"
The person who came was Liao Hua. Although the troops Cao Xiu brought were not as elite as Cao's army, they were all soldiers who had been trained and had been attacked suddenly. Although they caused some chaos, Cao Xiu appeared in time and quickly stabilized the situation and began to surround Liao Hua, preparing to take this opportunity to capture Liao Hua first, smash the spirit of the Han army, and make the Han army in the pass be more honest.
Seeing that Cao's army had already begun to counterattack and could not take advantage of it, Liao Hua was ready to evacuate, but Cao Xiu would not let him take advantage of it like this and leave. Under Cao Xiu's command, Cao's army quickly intercepted left and right, and at the same time sent a group of troops out of the side camp, preparing to cut off Liao Hua's retreat.
However, as soon as the side troops opened the door, a sound of shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the camp. A wave of dense crossbow arrows came towards him, shooting down many Cao army soldiers. Then Mi Fang rushed in with a large number of people and horses. Not only did he defeat the side troops sent by Cao Xiu, but he also took advantage of Cao Xiu's unpreparedness to disrupt the formation of Cao Xiu's rear army. This group of people was relatively more, and there were no many in the dark, but in terms of momentum, there were about three or five thousand people. The attack of this group of people caused considerable chaos to the Cao army.
However, Cao Xiu was a good general of the Great Wei Dynasty after all. Although he was shocked, he adjusted his formation and divided his troops to fight Mi Fang. The Han army was well-equipped, especially the generals under Guan Yu. The combat style was usually very fierce, with more attacks and fewer defenses!
Although there were not too many soldiers on both sides, Cao's army was a little chaotic when he was attacked suddenly. Cao Xiu had rich combat experience and concentrated his archers to shoot, and then ordered the soldiers to change the formation again. If it were an ordinary general, even if the troops were superior, he might directly bomb the camp or collapse if he was attacked one after another.
Under Cao Xiu's orderly command, the situation was stabilized again by him, and he began to suppress his opponents with the advantage of numbers. However, Cao Xiu did not feel much excited. The actions of these Han troops today were a bit abnormal, and he was worried that the Han army would have a backup plan.
"Boom~"
It seemed to be to confirm Cao Xiu's idea that the village gate on the east side was suddenly pulled open with a rope and a war horse, followed by a large number of Han troops. This time the attack was even sharper, rushing straight into Cao's army like a sharp blade, directly dividing the originally complete formation into two sections, and joining Mi Fang in one place.
The attack was sharp and the determination were far from comparable to the previous two times. It only appeared that Cao's army was divided and did not see the opponent's commander. However, the two hundred soldiers in the ranks were the most well-equipped school swordsman. Although there were only two hundred people, they broke into the crowd and were like boiling water poured into the snow. Wherever they passed, Cao's army was killed and turned over and flowed into a river of blood. Even the generals in the army could not support them for a few times and were submerged in these two hundred people.
Cao Rui recognized that the equipment was only worn by Guan Yu's personal guards. Every time they appeared on the battlefield, they could bring heavy losses to the Cao army.
The most unreasonable thing is the opponent's equipment. The armor is invulnerable to swords and guns, but the blade can cut gold and cut jade. There are not many people. However, on the battlefield, especially in such a battle, it can quickly tear a crack in the enemy's formation. Even a peerless general may not be as effective as these two hundred people.
Seeing that his own battle formation was constantly being divided, Cao Xiu was so excited that his mother and son were about to break up. Even if he was him, he could not control the situation at this moment. The separated Cao army began to be defeated without Cao Xiu's command. Even if Cao Xiu kept commanding the soldiers of the three armies to change their formations with a horn, the Wei army that was divided was obviously unable to control it.
In particular, this team was not in a hurry to attack Cao Xiu, but began to constantly divide and strangle the troops that had lost the command of the generals, which accelerated the collapse of the Wei army even faster.
At the same time, Liao Hua and Mi Fang, who were previously suppressed by Cao Xiu, suddenly had a great morale at this time, and they led the soldiers to cooperate with each other and repeatedly attacked.
Cao Xiu felt that his hands and feet were cold. Not only was the sudden attack from the opponent's army, which caused chaos in the Cao army, but more importantly, Liao Hua and Mi Fang only appeared as partial troops. Who could command this main force and even mobilize the two?
In Guan Yu's army, it seems that other people except Guan Yu could not let Liao Hua and Mi Fang be the foil of the partial army, right?
But how could Guan Yu be here!?
For a moment, not only was the situation of the Wei army disrupted by the main force of the Han army that suddenly emerged, but Cao Xiu's mentality also became a little confused.
The fight continued, but more and more Wei troops were defeated and collapsed, and more and more fleeing troops were increasing. Cao Xiu gradually discovered that the Wei army, which was originally encircled and suppressed the Han army, began to gradually fall into a situation of encirclement and entanglement. It seemed that there were Han troops everywhere, and fewer and fewer people were fighting around Cao Xiu.
More Wei troops joined the ranks of fleeing.
Cao Xiu closed his eyes in pain. The 50,000 army was defeated inexplicably?
In the chaos, the Han army suddenly cracked a road, and the rushing horse hooves sounded Zhong. Guan Yu's figure appeared in the army. The Dayuan horse sitting down began to accelerate, and the target was directed to Cao Xiu's side.
"Guan Yu!" When Cao Xiu saw Guan Yu, he was not surprised. He held the gun stick tightly with both hands and clenched his steel teeth. No matter why Guan Yu appeared here, the reason was actually no longer important, and the defeat was decided.
"General, go quickly!" A group of personal guards stopped in front of Cao Xiu. At the moment Guan Yu appeared, the morale of the Wei army obviously suffered a major blow, and more defeated troops were defeated, and some people even began to kneel down and ask for surrender. Cao Xiu's safety is the most important thing at this moment.
Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and looked at Guan Yu, intending to fight to the death, but a group of personal guards surrounded Cao Xiu, constantly kicking and hitting the war horses that Cao Xiu sat down, allowing the war horses to turn around and flee.
The morale of the army has been defeated and the army has been dispersed. Even if there are too many people, facing Guan Yu now, there are not many people who dare to fight. Staying at this time will only add another brilliant record of killing generals under Guan Yu's knife. As personal guards, even if they escape Guan Yu's blade, they cannot escape the sanctions of Wei. Even their families may be implicated, so they naturally do not want Cao Xiu to take risks. Seeing Guan Yu coming, many personal guards went crazy and killed Guan Yu, stopping Guan Yu, but Cao Xiu was dragged out of the camp by the personal guards.
