Chapter 1107: Ambush

Unfortunately, Gao Lan, who had been prepared for a long time, had already withdrawn the archers to the back of the wall, leaving only the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers to defend the wall. There were infantry in front of them desperately resisting, and there were archers in the back to block the shooting. The Yuexi tribe who invaded the stronghold did not take much advantage. In addition, Gao Lan personally entangled Yuexi, so although the troops and horses entered the stronghold, they But progress is slow.

Seeing this, Cao Ren, who was watching the battle from the Chinese army, quickly ordered the third unit of troops to enter the stronghold to support Yue Xi, but he repeatedly reminded the leading general Guo Shi to act with caution. After receiving the order, Guo Shi immediately ordered three thousand infantry and followed the Yue Xi army into the stronghold. Seeing that the two armies had successfully merged, more than 5,000 soldiers had already entered the stronghold, and the war was gradually under control. Cao Ren also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he could only see the general situation of the battle, but he did not know the specific situation inside the stronghold. At this time, the two generals who attacked were only brave generals, not wise generals. The enemy had two generals attack. Gao Lan was not as powerful as Yue Xi, so after Guo Shi led the army to join, he became more clumsy, and his soldiers were even killed and retreated step by step. Xiaoxiang Academy, who was watching the battle outside, saw that Gao Lan's army was about to be driven out of the camp. He was full of anger in the morning, but now he had the idea of ​​​​beating the drowned dog. He immediately asked Cao Ren for a fight. After receiving the agreement, he ordered Ou Xing also led two thousand troops into the stronghold.

After receiving the order, Ou Xing quickly led his troops into the camp and followed the two troops in front of him. However, after his troops entered the camp, they did not follow the soldiers of the B Division. Instead, they walked along the camp wall, preparing to bypass the fierce battle. The two parties headed to the west gate of the camp to cut off Gao Lan's army's retreat. However, Ou Xing's ability was not bad. After entering the camp, he found that something was wrong with the camp. Although there were corpses of soldiers from both sides everywhere, various fodder branches were scattered everywhere in the camp. It seemed messy, but there were several places. They are all more or less connected. Seeing this situation, Ou Xing was startled and shouted loudly: "There is a trap in the camp, the two generals must retreat quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gao Lan, who had retreated to the west gate, laughing loudly: "It's too late to find out now! Archers, fire arrows, launch!"

Then, they saw a large number of archers suddenly standing on the wall at the west gate of the camp. They had already bent their bows and set arrows in their hands. There was a ball of flame burning on the arrows. After hearing Gao Lan's order, they all moved towards The people in the camp fired the rockets from their bows.

For a moment, all I could see was streaks of black smoke whizzing past in the sky. Then, sparks were ignited everywhere in the camp. A moment later, the sparks turned into billowing smoke and fire.

Although Yue Xi and Guo Shi led the army to kill happily, they were also the ones who watched all directions and listened in all directions. When they were killing happily, they suddenly heard Ou Xing's roar in their ears. Although they did not retreat immediately, But the pursuit has stopped. Thanks to Ou Xing's timely reminder, the two men stopped their offensive. When Dong Zhuojun's rockets came, the two men saw that the situation was not good and quickly led the soldiers around them to retreat. Even so, after the two men exited the camp and counted their losses, a large number of soldiers were still lost in the camp. Yuexi lost 2,500 men before and after, while only half of Guo Shi's 3,000 men were returned, and the rest were destroyed. The losses were within the camp. In addition, Ou Xing was quick to see the opportunity. Only 500 of the 2,000 soldiers and horses were destroyed inside. However, including the soldiers lost in the morning, it can be said that in order to capture the first camp, the army of the princes had already been lost. There are 7,500 soldiers, which means that the eight soldiers did not lose one and a half of their troops in the first battle alone, and the loss of Dong Zhuo's army is estimated to be less than 2,000. After receiving the news, Cao Ren was so angry that he could not speak. After a moment of reaction, he cursed Guo, Shi, Yue and Xi for being reckless.

However, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. After venting some vents, Cao Ren did not mention the matter again, but because it was getting late, he ordered all the troops to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.

Cao Ren, who returned to the camp, did not bother to rest and immediately called everyone to discuss matters. Soon everyone rushed to Cao Ren's tent. After today's tragic victory during the day, everyone was no longer in the same playful mood as yesterday after entering the tent.

After coming in, they found their seats and sat down without saying a word. Especially the three lords and their generals who had lost their troops sat there silently. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Ren, who looked ashen at the head of the army, said: "Everyone has seen the battle today. Our army suffered more than 7,000 losses, and indeed only captured one enemy camp, and only 2,000 were wiped out. "If the losses in the morning were due to the enemy's treachery, what about the battle in the afternoon?" At this point, Cao Ren slapped the case in front of him, stood up, and shouted: "Before we go to war?" , I have repeatedly said that you need to be cautious! Be cautious! But in the end, General Yue Xi, General Guo Shi, have you taken this advice to heart?

Facing the furious Cao Ren, although everyone present was not his subordinates, the momentum bursting out from the famous historical general still made everyone feel stagnant. Yue Xi, Guo Shi, and others felt even more deeply. They came out of the crowd, bowed down in the tent, and said, "If you fail to live up to the general's trust, please punish me!"

Seeing the two men like this, Cao Ren snorted coldly and said, "If you two were officers under General Fenwei, you would have been dragged out of the tent and punished. Well, you two go first. This battle didn't have to have such losses, but because of the two generals' mistakes, thousands of soldiers were lost. This is just the first camp, and it took a day, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were lost. Everyone, we are now in a situation of prosperity and loss. There are only four days left, but we still have four camps to take. Let's discuss how we should act in tomorrow's battle."

Everyone in the tent looked at each other. Everyone was a jack of all trades in ancient times, and some people were not even jack of all trades. Especially in front of a famous general like Cao Ren, everyone dared not talk nonsense, and each of them cast their eyes on the subordinates around them. Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Ren turned his eyes to Huangfu Chaobo beside him and said, "Captain of the Bandits, tomorrow your troops will attack the second camp. Do you have any good strategies?"

Huangfu Chaobo and Huang Chao Baiye looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Regarding tomorrow's battle, several of our generals have also discussed it during the battle today. Mr. Sun will explain the details to the general!"

Cao Ren nodded and looked at Sun Qian.

Seeing that Cao Ren and everyone in the tent were looking at him, Sun Qian stood up and said, "General Cao, everyone, everyone, from today's battle, it can be seen that the Dong bandit army is indeed fully prepared for this battle. Although today is only the first camp, we can still see a lot of clues from it."
