Cao Thief

Chapter 676 Trap ([-])

First update today, second update before ten o'clock.

Finally came home, toss miserably!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For two days in a row, the weather was calm.

Both Liu Hu and Cao Peng seemed very restrained, and the two sides did not engage in any further fighting.However, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the war.Once there is a battle, it will inevitably be a bloody storm, which is extremely tragic.While resting, the two sides are also dispatching troops.Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, issued a call-up order in Pingyu, and assembled troops with Lang Ling, who may be stationed in Nanyang at any time.

As for Liu Hu, he also asked Xiangyang for help.

Although Liu Biao was still hesitant, he dispatched General Wenpin to gather in Deng County as a gesture of support.

After Liu Bei withdrew his troops, he had stabilized his position.After two trials with Cao Jun, they didn't gain much.Wei Yan stationed soldiers and horses at Nanshan Pass, and gathered there from sunset to Nanshan Pass, forming a powerful barrier.That is to say, in these two trials, Wei Yan showed extraordinary tactical qualities.No matter how Liu Bei tried, he followed Cao Peng's order and could not hold on.

At the same time, Nanshankou and Xiyangju echoed each other, forming an extremely effective restraint on Liu Bei in Wancheng.

On the Jiyang side, Du Ji, Deng Zhi, and Xu Yi fought steadily, relying on the barrier of Nanjuju Ferry, they could threaten Nieyang when they advanced, and they could defend the east bank of Jishui when they retreated.Guan Yu also launched several attacks, but in the end, he returned without success.Ever since, the two sides have formed a balanced situation, and they contain each other.And everyone's eyes were focused on Huyang in unison.

It was in this tense situation that the people of Nanyang gradually forgot Cao Cao who was fighting in the north.

The day after Cao Peng arrived in Huyang, Jia Xu returned to Wuyin.

He came to Nanyang with him, Xia Houshang, captain of the Shesheng school, and [-] soldiers and horses from the Shesheng battalion, who were stationed in Wuyin County together.When Jia Xu arrived, Yang Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.On the day when Jia Xu arrived in Wuyin, he led a temporary conscript of [-] soldiers and marched towards Nanshan.

And just when Yangqi set off, in Wuzhong County thousands of miles away, Cao Cao led Zhang Liao, Xu Chu Dianwei and three people, with Cao Zhang Niu Gang as the vanguard and Wu Zhongren Tian Chou as the guide, quietly climbed Xu Wushan and left Lu. Longsai, march towards Liucheng.However, Guo Jia did not accompany him on the expedition because of unacceptable reasons.Instead, Xun You accompanied... Originally, Guo Jia strongly demanded to set off together, and even persuaded Cao Cao at one point.But Dong Xiao, the imperial physician who accompanied him, firmly opposed it.He also made it clear that if Guo Jia went to war, his condition would probably worsen and his life would be in danger.After hesitating for a long time, Cao Cao decided to listen to Dong Xiao's persuasion and rejected Guo Jia's request to march.Ever since, Guo Jia continued to stay in Wuzhong County, and found someone to dress up as Cao Cao to confuse Yuan Jun's sight.

The battle of Liucheng is imminent.

It's just that no one noticed that beside Cao Zhang, the forward soldier, there was an extra person unknowingly, staring at Tian Chou.

This person is Zhu Dao who was ordered by Cao Peng...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The battle of Huyang was suspended for two days.

At nightfall on the third day, Li Gui suddenly ordered to light up the soldiers and horses.

Whether Huang Zhong colluded with Cao Peng or not will be revealed tonight.Li Gui couldn't help but feel uneasy. After discussing with Liu Hu, he decided to lead his troops to attack Cao Jun's camp at night.If Cao Jun's camp did not take precautions, it means that what was said in the letter is true, and there is collusion between Huang Zhong and Cao Peng.In this way, Li Gui happened to rob the camp, and then took advantage of the situation to defeat Cao's army and boost morale; if Cao's camp was well prepared, it meant that there was no collusion between Cao Peng and Huang Zhong.When the time comes, Li Gui will be surrounded, and Liu Hu will take the opportunity to attack outside.According to Li Gui: This is called the praying mantis catching the cicada, with the oriole behind.Liu Hu attacked as the oriole, and if he joined forces with Li Gui, Cao's army would be defeated.Therefore, regardless of whether Huang Zhong and Cao Peng colluded or not, in Li Gui's view, this battle is imperative.

Three thousand soldiers and horses followed Li Gui and quietly left the Jingzhou camp and approached Cao's camp.

The night is deep, and the clouds cover the moon.

From a distance, Cao Jun's camp was brightly lit.

Li Gui took a deep breath, pulled out his sword, pointed straight ahead, and shouted: "Boys, come with me!"

Three thousand Jingzhou soldiers shouted loudly and rushed into the gate of Cao Jun's camp with Li Gui.However, as soon as he entered the camp, Li Gui suddenly felt that the situation was not good.It's just because Cao Jun's camp is so peaceful... There is such a huge movement, but Cao Jun is nowhere to be seen.Li Gui hurriedly urged his horse to come to a military tent, and opened the curtain with his sword, but saw that there were piles of firewood piled up in the tent.

Counted!
Li Gui suddenly came to his senses.

At the same time, he also confirmed in his heart that Huang Zhong did not collude with Cao Peng.

This is an empty camp, and Cao Jun has an ambush.

Li Gui hurriedly shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, retreat, retreat immediately!"

He turned his horse's head and was about to rush out of the camp.But he heard the sound of clappers, followed by shouts of killing from outside Cao Ying.

"Stop going, thief!"

Accompanied by the sound of killing, a group of people suddenly came out from behind Cao Ying.

All the archers, after gaining a firm foothold outside the camp, ignited the kindling on the arrows, drew their bows and fired towards the camp.

Li Yan jumped on his horse and raised his gun, pointing at the barracks.

"Fire arrows!"

In an instant, all arrows were fired.

The rocket roared into the air and flew into the camp.

The tents in the camp were all smeared with kerosene, which would catch fire.And the firewood piled up in the military tent ignited and spread throughout the camp in an instant.This is a trick, a trick that Cao Jun has designed long ago.They saw the contradiction between Liu Hu and Huang Zhong, so they aroused Liu Hu's suspicion of Huang Zhong.Regardless of whether it was the previous respect to Huang Zhong, or the later smeared letter, whether it was Liu Hu or Li Gui, Cao Peng and others had already calculated their reactions clearly. .

Li Gui's face changed drastically, he shouted sharply, and ordered the soldiers to rush out of the camp.

However, since it is here, how can it be so easy to leave?

Li Yan led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and the archers lined up, sealing the gate of the camp tightly.A rocket flew into the camp, and as soon as it touched the tent, it would immediately burn.In the entire camp, there were nearly a thousand tents and more than [-] catties of firewood. Once it was ignited, it spread rapidly.At the same time, Kuai Zheng led the troops and set up trebuchets outside the camp.Cans of kerosene fell into the sea of ​​flames as they were projected by the trebuchet... What is adding fuel to the fire?That's roughly what it looks like.The kerosene fell on the ground and shattered immediately.The flames flowed down the camp, accelerating the spread of the fire.Some cupping cans fell on the tent and did not shatter.However, as the temperature increased and the fire spread, the fire oil tank was heated and exploded.Every explosion will be accompanied by pieces of pottery flying, taking the lives of many people.

Li Gui was directing the breakout when he suddenly saw a fuel tank falling from the sky and hitting him hard on the head.

The oil tank suddenly shattered, and Li Gui was poured with kerosene.

An oil tank exploded on the side, and a piece of pottery wrapped in flames flew over and landed on Li Gui.In an instant, the kerosene on Li Gui's body burned... Even the man and the horse were surrounded by flames.Li Gui hissed and screamed, the sword fell to the ground, jumped off the horse, rolled on the ground, trying to suppress the flames.It's just that, with the fire oil all over the place, not only did his rolling fail to extinguish the flames, but it made the flames on his body even hotter.The whole person, like a burning man, was struggling and rolling in the sea of ​​flames... Not only Li Gui, but also countless Jingzhou soldiers were swallowed by the raging flames.The entire camp has turned into a raging sea of ​​flames!

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The moment Cao Jun's camp was burning, Liu Hu also discovered it.

He led [-] Jingzhou soldiers, preparing to be the oriole that made a sneak attack.Unexpectedly, Cao Jun's camp suddenly caught fire, so he had no time to react.

Liu Hu hurriedly mobilized his men and horses to attack Cao Ying.

However, before they got close to Cao Ying, they heard the sound of rumbling war drums.

Cao Peng led his troops and rushed out halfway, blocking Liu Hu's way.Liu Hu's mind was in a sudden panic, knowing that he had been tricked by Cao Peng, so he pulled his horse and left.In this dark night, he didn't know how many people Cao Jun had, let alone what was going on with Li Gui.

But judging from the firelight that illuminated the red night, Li Gui was probably more ominous than ominous.

He didn't dare to fight, and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops, wanting to retreat to the camp.

But before he pushed back to the station, he saw the Jingzhou army camp, the flames shot up to the sky, and the shouts of killing were everywhere.It turned out that just after Liu Hu led the troops to leave, Pound led his troops to quietly arrive outside the camp of the Jingzhou Army.When Cao Jun's camp was on fire, Pang De led his troops into the Jingzhou Army's camp.

There are still thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in the Jingzhou camp.

Han Xuan, as the chief general of the Jingzhou camp, stayed in the camp.

However, neither Li Gui, Liu Hu, nor Han Xuan thought that when they went to steal Cao Peng's camp, Cao Peng led the people to their camp.Han Xuan hastily responded to the battle, but Pang De, who was coming to face him, fell off his horse with a knife.Although Pound's injuries had not fully recovered, Han Xuan could not deal with him with his force.The most important thing is that what Han Xuan held in his hand was Pound's Tiger Roaring Saber.At the beginning, Pang De was defeated by Huang Zhong in Tangzi Township, and the Tiger Roaring Sword fell into Huang Zhong's hands.

But as Huang Zhong was detained, the Tiger Roaring Knife was obtained by Han Xuan.

Ever since Pound lost the Tiger Roaring Knife, he has been brooding about it.Seeing that Han Xuan was holding the Tiger Roaring Knife, he didn't care who Han Xuan was, rushed over and killed Han Xuan, and took the Tiger Roaring Knife back.The so-called lost and recovered, is exactly the same.Pang De took back the Tiger Roaring Saber, his spirits lifted immediately, and he led his troops to rampage in the Jingzhou camp, only killing Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, and they turned their backs on their backs.Han Xuan is dead, and Li Gui and Liu Hu are not here... The Jingzhou Army was unable to organize an effective resistance at all, and was defeated in an instant, scattered and fled...

When Liu Hu heard this, he was also shocked.

Followed by pursuers, and the Jingzhou army camp...

Liu Hu immediately retreated to Tangzi Township with his troops, intending to regroup in Tangzi Township.

However, how could Cao Peng and Pang De allow him to escape?Cao Peng got Li Yan to offer a plan, spent a lot of thought, and even sent undercover soldiers to sneak into the Jingzhou army camp in order to succeed in today's battle.Liu Hu was defeated and Cao Peng pursued him.After reuniting with Pang De, the two chased Liu Hu all the way to Tangzi Township.Although Liu Hu had set up a camp in Tangzi Township, he did not leave too many soldiers and horses to guard it.

After all, in Liu Hu's view, Cao Jun was powerless to sneak attack at all, so why would he care?

If Huang Zhong is okay here, he may be able to make effective resistance.But the problem is that Huang Zhong was detained by Liu Hu in the Jingzhou camp, and his life and death are unknown.After Liu Hu arrived in Tangzi Township, Cao Peng and Pound's pursuers arrived before he could catch his breath.

In a hurry, Liu Hu had no intention of fighting, so he had to flee again.

Cao Peng and Pound took advantage of the situation to take back Tangzi Township, and stopped pursuing...

At this time, the sky is bright!
