Chapter Thirty-One: Flooded Camp
Xiahou Dun had already arranged everything at an ambush near the main business as Cao Cao's instructions.
Zhou Yang had just returned from Puyang to complete the mission, so he did not have to participate in this ambush. He just hid hundreds of ordinary soldiers at the dam and was ready to wait for the signal, and released the rain and river water that had been stored for many days.
On a rainy night, the sound of horse hooves from far to near came like an army of ghosts and gods, gradually covering up the sound of the Yellow River flowing not far away.
Even though the enemy cannot be seen clearly in the darkness, you can feel that Lu Bu led a well-trained cavalry team this time, which is even better than the 3,000 Beiping Cavalry of Xu Rong in Luoyang.
From the sound of horse hooves that were scattered but not chaotic, it can be roughly determined that the other party was a division of troops to attack the camp.
After a while, soldiers came to report that the enemy troops were divided into three groups, and they went straight to the main business, surrounded by the periphery, and the last one stayed outside the camp to prepare for support or support.
Zhou Yang was shocked. Although Lu Bu was a brave but not a fool, he did not take Chen Gong's words completely as a warning. It was estimated that when the decision to attack the camp was unchanged, Chen Gong still repeatedly reminded him to act very hard, so he kept a move at this time.
But at this time he could no longer think about it, so he could only order the soldiers to cut the dam immediately.
Everyone worked together to pull up the reins that had been prepared, and finally heard a loud "boom!" and the embankment finally collapsed.
The enemy troops located in the main camp of the lowlands could not find a figure. Just when the cavalry found out that they were trapped, they were shocked by the earth-shaking flood, thinking that it was the sound of thunder and a divine weapon from the sky.
However, what really came was the water flow that was enough to sweep the entire camp.
Zhou Yang and a few soldiers were still on the high ground, and only the shocking floods of the enemy were heard, as well as the chaotic shouts of the enemy.
The war horses also ran around and collided with each other because of the commotion.
In fact, when the flood rushed to the main camp, it did not submerge these enemies, but the surging momentum hit every soldier like a lightning strike, constantly increasing their inner fear.
Fortunately, the generals led by the army were suppressed and rushed out with them in the water, trying to meet with another army outside the camp.
However, both armies were in the same dilemma. Although the flood could not eliminate these cavalry, it deeply hit their morale and made their actions lose their flexibility.
At this time, the Cao army infantry, who were ambushing on a higher place, finally attacked them.
Under such a weak situation, the Lu Bu army had already lost the will to fight.
Zhou Yang and the soldiers could think of the battle situation below without seeing it. Everyone felt their blood boiling and rushed forward and looked forward, but they could see nothing in the darkness.
Some of the higher-level soldiers even suggested to kill together to assist in the battle.
Zhou Yang is actually the same as everyone else, and he is a little impatient and wants to go down and fight side by side with Xiahou Dun.
At the same time, I also hope to end the war as soon as possible, so I ordered the rectification of equipment and weapons.
Everyone was ready and just waiting for this instruction.
"How about killing the enemy tonight without leaving any armor?" Zhou Yang shouted loudly.
While receiving more response from the soldiers, he had already raised his tiger roaring spear, rode his war horse first and rushed into the melee.
On a rainy night, there is almost no sound of weapons colliding.
Wherever the Cao army led by Zhou Yang went, they cut the enemy to the ground with one knife.
As soon as you look at it, the enemy who has long been devastated will either fall into the water or run away like a mental breakdown.
At the same time, there was also an enemy cavalry, leading a few powerful soldiers to fight from the north to a bloody road.
The first thought in Zhou Yang's mind was that he guessed that the leader must be Zhang Liao Gaoshun.
Anyway, no matter who it is, if anyone can capture any of them alive with the advantage in front of him, it will undoubtedly be the biggest gain tonight.
So he rushed in that direction without saying a word. In order to compete for merit, the soldiers behind him gave up their enemies and followed him one after another.
The enemy army found that there were pursuers behind him, and did not run away even harder, but turned the gun to fight.
Zhou Yang even more affirmed that the other party was not an ordinary general, and immediately raised his gun to meet him.
As soon as the two sides met, they immediately started fighting in a melee.
I saw that the other party was not as if he was escaping his life, but more like he was striving forward to capture the main business, leaving no way out for himself.
A military general with such a strong strength is not Zhang Liao, so it is only possible that Gao Shun is.
This person is known as a camp. It is precisely because of his absolute firm will that he can win every battle every time he attacks the camp. Even if he is clearly attacked by the enemy's plan, he can still maintain unshakable belief. No wonder Cao Cao was unable to surrender this powerful general after he destroyed Lu Bu.
Zhou Yang fought with the other party for only a few rounds, and another cavalry came and directly cut Cao's army into two halves. He immediately gave up chasing the other party and ran in the other direction.
He had already felt this powerful pressure once, and that was when Lu Bu of the Sishui Alliance entered Cao's camp.
Earlier, Lu Bu defended himself and stayed outside the camp, so this cavalry must be the main combat power led by Lu Bu, and he must not be able to confront him head-on.
But some soldiers thought he was retreating in the face of the battle, but rushed up, but they killed him like a moth to the fire.
Zhou Yang couldn't bear to see it, so he evacuated the horse.
The enemy had no intention of chasing him, so he finally retreated to more safe areas of Cao's army.
Although he missed a great opportunity, Zhou Yang did not regret it at all, because he knew very clearly that the purpose of this battle was to defeat the morale of Lu Bu's main force, rather than to completely annihilate them.
In fact, with Cao's current strength, there is no way to do this.
Besides, this time the Puyang City counterattack was destined to be unable to eliminate Lu Bu. If you can retake the city, you can come to an end.
The biggest regret is that the boxes that had already been obtained eventually fell into the hands of the Roman merchant.
Since this person has never appeared in history, Zhou Yang naturally would not pose a threat to his dream of helping Cao Cao unify the world because of his amazing strength.
If you have the chance, you can try to cooperate with the other party.
Now that the battle is coming to an end, I am just waiting for Cao Cao to take back Puyang in the empty moment of the city.
However, just when Zhou Yang was packing up his troops and planning to meet Xiahou Dun, he could not find anyone.
Finally, I learned from a general that Xiahou Dun had ambushed in another place with other troops, in order to wait for Lu Bu to retreat and intercept the enemy halfway and launch another attack on the enemy. However, Lu Bu came to attack the camp this time, and the troops he brought were definitely unusual, and he was able to divide his troops into three groups before. Although he was damaged in his troops and was hit by the soldiers, he has now joined forces to withdraw together.
It can be seen from this that in addition to having brave and powerful combat capabilities, they are also generals who are very good at commanding troops and reorganizing troops.
To deal with such an army, it must be defeated by tricks. If you plan to destroy it, it will not be easy, and may even achieve the opposite effect.
Zhou Yang is worried about Xiahou Dun's safety now. If Lu Bu acts ruthlessly and asks his subordinates to lead his troops back to the city, he simply turns to fight him to the death, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Anyway, the main business battle has passed now, so you just need to clean up the mess.
So he handed over the battlefield to other captains and lieutenants, and then rode his own horses and chased after Lu Bu's escape.
In fact, it should be more appropriate to follow.
Because Zhou Yang did not want to attract the attention of the other party, although the enemy was a defeated general, his courage was still not something he could do alone, so he carefully followed and tried to take some hidden routes.
On such rainy nights, horses' hooves fall on the wetlands and will only splash out of water without making a crisp sound of hooves.
Such slight movements may also cause the other party to notice.
At that time, not only will he be exposed, but he may also cause Xiahou Dun who is ambushing nearby.
So Zhou Yang decided to dismount and walk, dragging his tiger's roaring spear backwards, and shuttled through the forest on a rainy night.
With the inexhaustible breath in his body and the keen sense of becoming more and more ordinary people, he soon discovered that the enemy's cavalry team was not far away.
Weird! Why don't they continue to retreat?
Zhou Yang muttered in his heart that he should have been very careful in his actions. There are probably few things that can be detected in the world. Even if Lu Bu personally pays attention to the rear, it is difficult to find it in such a harsh environment.
Therefore, the enemy's army stopped, and there was only one reason, that was, the ambush was discovered.
"Lord, there are no pursuers." A cavalry came to Lu Bu and reported.
"That is to say, we were not attacked," Lu Bu looked gloomy. Although he was in the rain, he felt angry, like a ball of flames that would burst out at any time. "Then are the people blocking the road ahead looking for death?"
Zhou Yang, who was hiding in the dark, was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Cao's army did not ambush Lu Bu, but appeared directly.
Although Xiahou Dun was extremely brave, facing Lu Bu and this group of elite cavalry, Zhang Liao Gaoshun was surrounded by him.
Any of them was enough to fight Xiahou Dun alone, not to mention that the three of them were present at the same time.
Zhou Yang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and secretly scolded Xiahou Dun for underestimating the enemy. Even if he was eager to make contributions, he could not act recklessly like this!
But now if I rushed out to help, it would not work.
He simply continued to hide, taking advantage of Lu Bu's army to focus all his attention on Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yang moved forward quietly in the forest, and finally came to the place ahead.
When he saw the scene of Xiahou Dun and Lu Bu's army confrontation, he couldn't help but shivered.
Oh my God! What kind of cavalry is this?
Zhou Yang finally knew why Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to guard the main business, and at the same time he also knew why he was so stubborn and fearless.
Chapter completed!
