Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 116 Xing Daorong: I fell into the trap!

"Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are truly formidable!"

Although they won for a while and the overall progress of the war followed Xing Daorong's plan, Cao Xiu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry still made Xing Daorong a little worried.

If it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's charge, Cao Hong's horses might have been destroyed in one battle.

Unfortunately, the Mo Dao is not yet dealt with, so the only way to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is to use ordinary gun formations and bows and crossbows to hold them back.

This method has always been used to deal with cavalry.

However, long spears can only stop the enemy. If you want to inflict large-scale casualties on the cavalry, you have to use short weapons.

It was for this reason that Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang of later generations both preferred to use short swords to defeat cavalry rather than long spears to defeat phalanxes.

It's really too passive.

However, right now, it was unknown when the Modao soldiers would be able to form a complete unit, so they could only rely on the "old method" to hold off the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry first.

Guan Ping saw that Xing Daorong was victorious but still frowned, and when he heard him talk about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he naturally understood his worries.

But he comforted her: "General, although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are powerful, they are no match for us. Don't worry."

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Although it's not fatal, it's still troublesome. We have to find a way to deal with it. But this is not something that can be dealt with in a short time."

"Let's follow the plan and attack Cao's camp tonight."

Seeing that Xing Daorong's mentality had changed, Guan Ping immediately took orders and prepared to attack Cao's camp at night.

But Xing Daorong's brows were still furrowed, as he always felt that if he didn't deal with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he would suffer a great loss in the future.

However, Cao Hong was once "praised to death" by Xing Daorong, and he was secretly resentful and naturally unwilling to accept it.

Right now, there was a burst of cursing inside the big tent.

But he cried out: "Xing Daorong is so shameless. He deliberately wrote a letter to make this general careless."

"Humph! Fortunately, he doesn't know the art of war and only knows this kind of dirty trick. He can't do anything to me."

"Rest well today and tell the generals to prepare. We will definitely defeat the enemy camp tomorrow!"

Cao Hong, with his violent temper, naturally could not tolerate this loss today. He was furious and planned to take revenge tomorrow.

Zang Ba advised from the side: "Xing Daorong used his troops in an unexpected way. This time he was able to use this strategy to confuse the enemy. It is obvious that he is not a person who follows the rules."

"I'm afraid he will come to intercept the village at night."

Cao Hong had suffered a loss once, so he did not dare to underestimate Xing Daorong. He nodded slightly and said, "Tell the scouts to find out more. If Xing Daorong really dares to rob the camp, he will be killed if he dares to come tonight."

Just listen to the advice!

The generals were relieved to see that Cao Hong was still stable and not blinded by anger.

Not long after, the scout came to report.

It was said that Xing Daorong had not yet left the camp, but his troops were gathering there, and it was obvious that they were preparing to go to war.

Cao Hong was delighted when he heard this: "Great! Xing Daorong has been victorious for a while and really thinks that I, Cao Hong, don't know how to fight. He will definitely come to rob the camp tonight!"

"Everyone, please prepare well and lead him into the camp so that he can't leave again."

Cao Xiu and others naturally obeyed the order, but no one suspected that Xing Daorong would come to intercept the camp even though he knew there was an ambush.

And tonight's robbery will certainly be completely different from usual ones.

That night, as the sky was dark and the stars twinkled, a tense and murderous atmosphere permeated the pitch-black Cao army camp.

A team of elite soldiers moved silently in the camp. They knew that someone would launch a night attack today, but the general had already discovered their plan.

The fire on the watchtower flickered from time to time.

The guards stared outside intently, afraid of missing anything.

After a while, a faint fire appeared.

When the sentinels saw this, their hearts skipped a beat and they quickly went to report.

Cao Hong was hiding in a corner of the camp. When he heard the light of fire outside, he was overjoyed. He ordered everyone to be ready and let the enemy in, especially Xing Daorong.

The deeper the better!

In order to prevent Xing Daorong from realizing the situation was not right and running away, Cao Hong even prepared a small military horse for Xing Daorong so that he could chase him for a while.

He was even more eager to take action, determined to make sure Xing Daorong would not be able to escape even if he had wings!
As a result, all the generals and soldiers in Cao's camp were on edge, waiting for the enemy to attack.

But Xing Daorong had arrived, but he just lingered in front of the camp and refused to go in.

Cao Hong was afraid that any movement would scare Xing Daorong away, so he had to hold it in.

I don't know how long I held it in, but I finally heard a shout coming from outside the camp.

"The Cao thief has invaded our border. All the generals, follow me to kill him and eradicate him!"

As soon as this call came out, Cao Hong immediately became excited!
He immediately said to the back: "The enemy is coming, stay alert and don't let any of them escape!"

Everyone nodded vigorously, and they all felt that the battle was won.

The reason why Xing Daorong was hesitating in front of the camp was, of course, because he had to cooperate well with Ma Chao in Zhushan!
If he doesn't explain it clearly and then goes ahead and does it, he's really asking for death.

After all the information was gathered, Xing Daorong didn't waste any words. He swung his axe and charged into the camp.

When he entered, he saw that there were not many soldiers and horses in front of him. When they saw him, they fled in panic. However, he knew in his heart that this was a bait left by Cao Hong for him.

After all, there are tens of thousands of Cao’s troops. How could there be only these few people in the camp?

With an idea in his mind, Xing Daorong shouted something like "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy", but he asked the soldiers to light the fire quickly and burn as much as possible.

Cao Hong didn't expect that he would not want this "deserter" given to Xing Daorong, but instead set fires everywhere in the military camp.

No.
It cannot be said that he was in the military camp, it should be said that he was just hanging around the entrance of the camp.

They even set the watchtower on fire.

Under the blazing fire, the burning watchtower seemed like a signal tower, hailing something in the distance.

Firstly, Cao Hong really couldn't wait any longer, and secondly, Xing Daorong's actions were more or less a bit weird, which made Cao Hong unable to stay any longer.

Although Xing Daorong did not go deep into the camp, there was nothing he could do at the moment and he could only try his best to prevent him from escaping.

He immediately led his troops to attack, but shouted: "Xing Daorong, you have fallen into a trap! Get off your horse and surrender immediately!"

Cao Hong rushed out with great momentum and saw Xing Daorong's terrified face.

Look at his eyes, they are so big and his mouth is so open that he can't close it.

"Haha! This expression is so funny!"

Feeling happy in his heart, Cao Hong shouted, "Xing Daorong, I have been keeping an eye on your army's movements!"

As he said this, he led his troops forward.

Suddenly, fires broke out in Cao's camp, and the soldiers and horses lying in ambush rushed forward, heading towards Xing Daorong's army.

Xing Daorong looked around and said hurriedly, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap! Follow me, generals, and break through!"

As he said this, he rushed out to kill them first.

Cao Hong heard Xing Daorong's panicked shout "from the inside out" and laughed again, "Want to break out? Wishful thinking!"

"I have set up an ambush from all sides. Just prepare to die!"

After saying that, there were indeed bursts of cheers coming from all around.

"Cao Xiu is here!"

"Zang Ba is here!"

"Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu is here!"

"Xing Daorong will die!"
