Chapter 661

Cao Ren looked at the soldiers around him and ordered: "Kanghu!"

"Yes

Kanghu comes forward and salutes.

Kang Hu is a typical big man in the north.

His hands are long and slender, and the palms of his hands are covered with cocoons, all of which are the marks left by his daily practice.

Cao Ren said: "you lead a hundred soldiers to rush out and directly kill the Chu army camp. At the same time, all the pots prepared for you are on your back. When you get to the gate of the Chu army camp, you throw pots into the Chu army camp. "

Kanghu said: "the end will understand!"

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Jiang Yi!"

"Yes

Jiang Yi clasped his fist and saluted.

Jiang Yi is thinner than Kang Hu. He is not so strong, but he is thinner.

Jiang Yi is good at archery.

Cao Ren said, "take ten archers with you and follow Kang Hu closely. When Kanghu throws the pottery pot into the camp of Chu army, you are ready to shoot an arrow. "

Jiang Yi said: "I understand your humble position!"

Cao Ren said, "go ahead."

"Here it is

Kang Hu and Jiang Yi prepared with their soldiers.

Cao Ren ordered: "beat the drum!"

Once again, I thought of the drum fight in the woods.

With the sound of battle drums, the Chu soldiers in the camp were not nervous because of the previous situation, and their faces were even more relaxed.

The patrol is still on patrol.

Those who should rest are still resting.

And the watchtower at the gate of the camp, the sentinel soldiers are bored staring out.

In the first two times when the drums were beating, they were all staring out, but they never saw the enemy soldiers come out. So this time, they were not nervous.

Suddenly, a soldier opened his eyes and saw someone heading for the camp.

"Enemy attack, stand by!"

"Enemy attack, stand by!"

The soldier on guard yelled, and just after he yelled twice, a bow and arrow came and hit the soldier's heart with a puff.

The blood spattered and the soldiers fell down.

This move made the soldiers in the camp nervous.

The soldiers quickly assembled, and Wei Yan also quickly reorganized the soldiers to prepare for war.

Wei Yan looked up, where he could see the Cao soldiers who were killing quickly.

However, Wei Yan glanced and found that the number of the other side was not much.

Wei Yan ordered: "Bowman, prepare!"

At the command, the bowmen came forward one by one.

The bows and crossbows used by Chu soldiers were all reformed by Huang Yueying. They not only had a longer range, but also had greater power.

A group of twenty bowmen immediately loaded the crossbow and aimed at the outside.

"Whew! Whew

The crossbow went straight out of the camp.

After a round of shooting, the second row of bowmen came up and fired again.

Kanghu led a hundred soldiers to approach with earthenware pots on their back, but when they were about 20 feet away from the Chu army camp, the crossbow had already roared, and they were shot into the soldiers' bodies.

On the spot, more than ten people died.

Kanghu was also nearly hit by a bow and arrow.

When Kanghu escaped the first wave, a second wave of crossbows and arrows came immediately.

"Come on!"

Kang Hu's face was solemn, and there was a touch of fear in his eyes.

The crossbow is no faster than the bow and arrow. It's a straight line shot and more lethal.

A crossbow, even enough to shoot through the soldier's body.

Kanghu took the soldiers forward less than ten steps, and one third of the soldiers around him were dead.

If we continue to rush forward, the casualties may be even greater.

"Back up!"

Seeing this situation, Kang Hu knew that it was impossible to complete Cao Ren's task, and directly gave the order to retreat. He made a U-turn to retreat and soon joined with Jiang Yi.

Kang Hu said: "the Chu army has been prepared for a long time. They are armed with crossbows. A few of our soldiers can't rush in."

Jiang Yi saw the situation ahead, but also helpless, followed Kanghu retreat.

Standing in the camp, Wei Yan looked at the retreating Cao soldiers and sneered twice. Then he ordered the Bowman to retreat and ordered the soldiers to patrol separately.

Cao Jun just sent more than 100 people to attack, which is too few.

Wei Yan didn't look, so he left again.

Kanghu and Jiang Yi returned to the woods. Kanghu breathed heavily and said, "general, I'll punish you for your incompetence."

Kang Hu felt guilty for not completing the task.

Cao Ren patted Kang Hu on the shoulder and said, "well, I didn't expect that the other side would have such means. The Chu army used the crossbow hand defense, we this strength, really cannot let the Chu army camp riot

Kang Hu said, "general, what shall we do next?"

Cao Ren said: "let's just harass them honestly. Every once in a while, we have been beating drums, so that Liu Xiu's soldiers can't rest. Anyway, our main purpose is to attract each other's attention and let Liu Xiu mistakenly think that we are deliberately harassing them and not let them sleep. In this way, it was also good for the withdrawal of the king of Wei. "Kanghu nodded, and then he went to see the wounded soldier.

In the previous crossbow shooting, some soldiers died on the battlefield, while others escaped injured.

These soldiers also need to be bound up.

Kanghu did a simple treatment for the soldiers, and it was already in the middle of the night.

Wei Yan went to rest, and Zhang Ren stayed in the middle of the night.

However, after a tour, Zhang Ren arranged for the night patrol generals to patrol, and he went back to the camp to deal with his official business. He just doesn't have to rest to make sure he can deal with it at any time. He doesn't have to stay at the gate of the camp all the time.

This night, the battle drums often sounded, but the Cao soldiers did not come.

Zhang Ren is also used to it and thinks it's a trick of harassing the other side.

As time goes by, the clear air rises and the turbid air falls. In the eastern sky, there is a touch of fish belly white.

It's early morning in August.

Zhang Ren saw that it was daybreak, worried that there would be an attack at this time, and asked the soldiers to be careful. Then he went to the rear camp to see the soldiers in the kitchen prepare breakfast.

When breakfast was ready, the soldiers began to get up.

After morning exercise, I began to have breakfast.

After all the soldiers of Chu army got up, Cao Ren and others in the woods were hard to hide.

Because the light is bright, once the battle drum rings, their position will be exposed, especially when it is no longer in the dark. The other side can distinguish whether there is an ambush, so Cao Ren decided to retreat at the right time.

Cao Ren retreated so fast that he began to catch up with Cao Cao.

Last night, Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops.

Cao Ren separated a night, he still needs some time to catch up.

In the daytime, Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren and others are busy again.

At the same time, scouts were sent out to inquire for information.

At noon, the scouts found the strange situation in Cao Cao's camp, because they didn't see the smoke of people burying pots and cooking, only a few soldiers patrolling.

In the morning, I saw a few soldiers patrolling, probably Cao Jun in the camp.

At noon, it's strange to see no one.

Scouts inquired, determined that Cao's army had retreated, and then quickly returned to the camp to report the news.
