Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 842 The plan within the plan
At this moment, Cao's army had already charged into the Han army camp. Several generals, each leading a group of soldiers, were like sharp swords, piercing the heart of the Han army.

"Ta Tata..."

Cao Shu rode his horse to the side of a general and saluted him with his fists.

"Meet General Le Jin."

Le Jin was flattered and hurriedly returned the greeting: "Sir, you are my lord's nephew. How dare I accept such a great gift?"

Cao Shu said, "My uncle's military order says that although you and I each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Zhang Yong's camp from two directions, everything must be led by General Le. Moreover, the rank of general is higher than that of this general, so it is only right that this general should come to pay his respects."

Le Jin smiled with satisfaction: "Your Excellency is so kind and generous, it is a blessing for our army."

Cao Shu smiled in return and then looked at the battle situation. He saw that the soldiers of both sides were fighting fiercely. Although Cao's army had only one-fifth of the enemy's troops, the Han army was obviously unprepared for this surprise attack and was beaten back by Cao's army for a while. They saw that almost all of the 20,000 Cao's troops had broken into the military camp from two directions. Even at this point, the Cao army still suffered few casualties.

"Our army clearly has the upper hand. It seems that Zhang Yong is just a name in vain."

Cao Shu said with some pride.

Le Jin looked solemn and said, "Sir, the situation in a war is ever-changing. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Don't be careless until the last moment. Zhang Yong is a good fighter. Even the lord dare not underestimate him. The lord specifically instructed us to set up an ambush at the border between Yingchuan and Runan. He knew that once he completely entered Runan, his guard would be several times stricter than tonight, and then we would have no chance of winning. Although we have succeeded by chance, the army under Zhang Yong is not an ordinary one. After all, our army is short of manpower. We can only harass them, but we must not fight them."

Cao Shu kept nodding as he listened, and seemed to understand something.

However, as the battle between the two sides became more and more stalemate and Cao's army advanced further and further, Le Jin's expression became somewhat gloomy.

"Something's wrong..."

Cao Shu turned around and asked, "What did the general say?"

Le Jin stared closely at the battle situation: "Something is not right. Sir, please look, after all this fighting, it seems that our army is sure to win and is advancing all the way, but wherever we go, there are very few enemy corpses left. Looking carefully, the enemy soldiers retreat immediately after they come into contact with our army. This is abnormal, there must be something fishy."

Cao Shu disagreed: "So what? They were fast asleep in the middle of the night, so it's natural for them to be frightened when they were attacked. It's reasonable."

Le Jin shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible. Zhang Yong and Gao Shun are both famous generals of their time, especially good at managing the army. Their soldiers will never desert the battlefield at the slightest misfortune."

"Hmm... what the general said makes sense. Could it be..."

Just as Cao Shu was about to express his guess, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

"Woo, woo, woo."

A loud, clear, short and powerful horn sounded suddenly in all directions.

The Han army, which had been in a state of decline and continuous retreat, suddenly changed its appearance after the sound of the horn.

The Han soldiers from all directions stopped in an instant, turned around almost at the same time, and launched a surprise attack.

"kill!"

With this murderous shout, the "fleeing" Han army all turned around in an instant, and stabbed at Cao's army with swords, spears, and halberds. Cao's army was originally enjoying the pursuit, running with all their strength, and seeing such a sudden change in the situation, even if they wanted to stop, they couldn't.

"Puff puff……"

The Cao army soldiers who were rushing in the front either threw themselves forward or were pushed forward by their comrades behind them, and they all crashed into the weapons of the Han army. Immediately, the battlefield became covered with blood and screams.

After completing this wave of "revenge", these Han soldiers dispersed one after another, pretending to make way for others.

The Cao army soldiers were a little frightened just now, and now they were very puzzled, but Le Jin, who was watching the battle in the rear, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Quick...Sound the retreat, retreat quickly."

Cao Shu was puzzled and was about to ask Le Jin a question, but he saw inexplicable cold lights flashing behind the Han soldiers. It seemed particularly abrupt in the dark night.

"Golden Sword Camp!" Cao Shu recognized this army at the first moment. Only then did he understand why Le Jin was so panicked and wanted to withdraw his troops.

"Once the golden sword comes out, it is invincible. Kill, kill, kill."

A total of 20,000 soldiers from the Golden Sword Camp rushed out from three directions in this huge military camp.

Golden lights flashed, screams were heard, and batches of Cao's soldiers were chopped into two by the golden swords, with some of their heads and bodies separated or split left and right. The broken fingers and debris were scattered all over the ground. The terrifying killing power of the Golden Sword Camp made the Cao soldiers tremble with fear.

“Hahaha…” Zhang Yong slowly walked out from the tents. He looked at Le Jin in the distance and shouted, “Thief, you have fallen into my trap. If you don’t quickly dismount and surrender, I will spare your life and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.”

Le Jin looked at him with gnashing teeth and responded, "Zhang Yong, don't be so arrogant. I, Le, have been deeply favored by my lord. How can I betray him?"

Zhang Yong shrugged his shoulders: "It's fine if you want to save your reputation, but do you want tens of thousands of soldiers under your command to die with you?"

Then, he looked at the Cao army that was being slaughtered and shouted: "The emperor today is a benevolent monarch. Although you are enemies of the court, you are only coerced. If you turn against us and surrender, the court will not hold you accountable."

After hearing these words, many of Cao's soldiers looked at their comrades and stopped attacking with their weapons, each of them showing hesitation.

"Damn it. There are 5,000 new recruits in our army. Even though we have been training hard for several months, how can we not be in disarray when facing such a strong enemy like the Golden Sword Battalion?"

Le Jin drew his sword and was ready to go into battle himself to stabilize the morale of the troops.

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly jumped out from behind him and said, "Don't worry, General. I will kill Zhang Yong and settle the situation."

After this man finished speaking, he brandished his two iron halberds and rushed into the battlefield like the wind in a few strides.

"Zhang Yong, I will use your head to sacrifice to my brothers. Please accept my death."

Dian Wei was like a ferocious beast, his whole body suddenly jumped up, which was chilling. At the same time, he nimbly shuttled among tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the two armies unscathed.
