Chapter 745

Zhang Xiu's army gathered quickly in the city. With Zhao Yun, Sha Moke and Zhang Yan, Zhang Xiu goes down to the city building and comes to the front of the army. With a command, the gate of Yin county opens and the army leaves the city.

Hu and others did not leave the city immediately. The reason for this is that Zhang Xiu concluded that there must be Cao Cao's sentinel outside the city of Yin county.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu led the army to attack first to confuse Cao Cao's spies.

In fact, outside the city, there are indeed spies arranged by Cao Cao to inquire about Zhang Xiu's actions.

As soon as Zhang Xiuyi sent out troops, the sentry quickly withdrew. When the sentry returned to Cao's camp, he quickly reported the news. When Guo Jia got the news, he went straight to see Cao Cao in the big account of the Chinese army.

After a ceremony, he said: "Sikong, Zhang Xiu has sent troops. There were not only infantry, but also countless cavalry. It is estimated that Zhang Xiu is preparing to attack at night. "

Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Zhang Xiu is used to making strange soldiers. Compared with the strength of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu is obviously in a weak position. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xiu should not send troops in any case. Now, however, Zhang Xiu is out of the blue. Who would have expected that he would send troops? "

Guo Jia said with a smile, "didn't you expect it?"

Cao Cao laughed and immediately ordered Liu Bei to attend the meeting.

Soon after, Liu Bei entered the camp. Now his eyes were red and his face was sad. His brother Zhang Fei fell from a building and died. He would rather die than delay his foundation, which made Liu Bei miserable.

Liu Bei endured grief and said, "Sikong asked me to come. I don't know what's urgent?"

Cao Cao said: "I just got the news from the sentinel. Zhang Xiu left Yin county with the army all night and had already killed us. Xuande, your chance of revenge has come. "

"If Zhang Xiu is trapped in Yin county from beginning to end, we can't help him."

"Now, Zhang Xiu has left Yin county."

"For us, this is the best chance to wipe out Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu came from Yizhou. His troops are no more than 20000. Now we have more than 40000, nearly 50000 elite. "

Cao Cao hurled a voice: "we unite, enough to wipe out the army of Zhang Xiu."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was breathing quickly.

The hatred between him and Zhang Xiu is very deep. He wants to scratch Zhang Xiu's skin and get cramped. He wants to eat Zhang Xiu's meat and drink Zhang Xiu's blood. Now that he has a chance to revenge, Liu Bei is very excited.

Liu Bei said, "how is Cao Sikong going to fight?"

Cao Cao confidently said: "if you want to defeat Zhang Xiu, you should go all out. Whether it's where you're stationed or my camp, it's together. In that case, I suggest that the army be ready and ambush in the camp. Once Zhang Xiu's army launches an attack, we will fight out and defeat Zhang Xiu's army from the front

Liu Bei said, "according to Cao Sikong."

When he answered, he turned and stepped back. When Liu Bei returned to his camp, he looked at Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang waiting for him and said, "the reason why Cao Cao asked me to go is that his sentinel found that Zhang Xiu sent troops to kill him in the camp."

Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan and inquires, "is there really a big army of Zhang Xiu?"

"Yes

Liu Bei nodded.

Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Xiu is very cunning. He sent out troops all night, though he said he didn't want to. But he should know that we are far stronger than him. "

Liu Bei said: "sergeant, you are not. I don't know Zhang Xiu's strength. He is too strong. In addition, the generals under his command are also extremely powerful, so he dares to launch a night attack. "

"Even if Zhang Xiu now has only 20000 troops, she still dares to face us."

"This is Zhang Xiu's confidence."

"And his conceit."

Liu Bei gnawed his teeth and said: "Zhang Xiu thinks she is invincible in the world, but she doesn't know that Cao Cao took Lv Bu with her. Cao Cao will let Lv Bu fight at night. "

Liu Bei was also extremely hostile to Lu Bu.

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he accepted Lu Bu with good intentions. But in the end, Lu Bu captured his Xuzhou, making Liu Bei homeless and homeless again.

But Lu Bu is now a member of Cao Cao. Liu Bei did not affect Cao Cao, so he had no choice but to let it go. However, in this war, Liu Bei felt that Cao Cao's surrender to Lu Bu was good.

Only Lu Bu can compete with Zhang Xiu.

The rest of them couldn't stop Zhang Xiu.

Zhuge Liang thought about it and said in a deep voice: "my Lord is right, but I think that Zhang Xiu probably has a back hand. Is it true that Zhang Xiu has more troops? "

"No way!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "in today's situation, where are Zhang Xiu's soldiers? He can't have more soldiers. Don't be suspicious, commander. We will win this battle. "

Zhuge Liang said: "I hope it's as the LORD said!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu can't wait to leave the camp, to mobilize the army, and then ambush in the camp.Liu Bei's ambush lies on the left side of the camp. Cao Cao's army is lying in ambush on the right side of the barracks. As long as Zhang Xiu's troops enter the camp, they will be attacked from left to right.

At that time, Zhang Xiu's army camp will be in chaos and will collapse immediately.

Either Cao Cao or Liu Bei are waiting.

Time goes by.

Half an hour goes by.

It's also normal for a slow army to walk more than ten miles in half an hour. But an hour later, before Zhang Xiu's army arrived, Cao Cao and Liu Bei began to murmur that something was wrong.

Cao Cao personally led the ambush, looked at Guo Jia beside him, and asked, "fengxiao, now Zhang Xiu's army should be outside the camp, why there has been no movement."

Guo Jia said: "maybe Zhang Xiu did it on purpose."

Cao Cao said, "what is it on purpose?"

Guo Jia replied: "Zhang Xiu is ready to make a surprise attack, but she also anticipates that we may have ambushes in the camp, so she deliberately waits. When we let down our guard, we can attack again. So humble guess, Zhang Xiu's army, has arrived outside the camp, is already ambush in the distance in the dark

"It's possible!"

Cao Cao nodded, with a look of approval.

For this reason, Cao Cao specially arranged for his soldiers to inform Liu Bei that Liu Bei should be calm and not anxious.

After Cao Cao comforted Liu Bei, he continued to wait, and two quarters of an hour slipped away quietly. But Zhang Xiu outside the camp never launched an attack, which made Cao Cao's patience a little insufficient.

Cao Cao wanted to go out at once.

In fact, Zhang Xiu did lie in ambush outside the camp. He was not unwilling to launch an attack, because he was still waiting for Hu Mo and others.

Without Hu Mo, he can't attack.

The south wind blows slowly and the breeze blows.

Now in August night, although the sun is shining in the daytime, it is still hot. In fact, in the daytime, the cool place has lost the heat of summer, and it is even cooler at night.

When Zhang Xiu is waiting quietly, she also arranges soldiers to watch the situation in the sky.

Waiting for Hu Mo's arrival.

"Rustle!"

A burst of footwork sound sounded, Wang Yue came to Zhang Xiu in a hurry, his face was excited, solemnly said: "Lord, here, the flying ball led by Hu Mo is coming."

Zhang Xiu raised her head and looked into the air.

The moon and stars in the sky, a flying ball slowly forward, away from Cao Cao camp over, is closer and closer.

At the moment, Hu Mo and others are all in the basket. The estimation of all distances was made by Hu Mo alone. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, he ordered, "come on, start throwing the tins. Drop them."

With Hu Mo's order, one by one of the forty-three flying balls, Mohist children, who had already been in place, grabbed a bundle of clay pots, lit the seal of the pots and threw them forward.

Dozens of the first batch of fallen pottery pots, like meteors, went straight to Cao Cao's camp.

The flying ball is still moving slowly forward.

Hu Mo and others kept throwing burning pots. There are more and more tins falling down. This scene is reflected in the sky, as if there are countless sky fires falling down to Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao has been hiding in the camp, no vision in the air. All of a sudden, Cao Cao's soldiers cried out in panic: "look, there's a fire coming down in the sky."

Cao Cao looked up.

In a flash, Cao Cao's body was struck by lightning, and the whole person was confused.
