Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 444

Zhang Ren led five thousand Yizhou elites down the mountain quickly in the dense forest. Although it was night, it was like walking on flat ground for them.

On the road at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Ren made all the soldiers and horses no longer hide their tracks.

After hastily forming the formation and clearing the layers, Zhang Ren actually started calling for formation not far from Cao Jun's camp.

That's right, Zhang Ren didn't take advantage of Cao Jun's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack. He unexpectedly ordered the soldiers to shout provocation loudly, and the curse with a strong Sichuan flavor soon drifted into Cao's camp with the mountain wind. .

"Turtle son, come out and have a fight with me, don't dare to come out like a fetal god!"

The curse words sounded a bit funny, but these Yizhou soldiers cursed extremely vigorously, shouting loudly at the top of their lungs, as if they wanted to vent all the frustration they had had in hiding in the pass for passive defense these days.

Cao's army was heavily guarded, and there were several more soldiers on patrol than usual, and soon discovered the bold and somewhat absurd actions of the Yizhou army.

"Military division, this guy Zhang Ren really led the troops to attack the camp."

In Cao Jun's camp, after Cao Ren received the news of Zhang Ren's attack, he quickly found Cheng Yu and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, it seems that Zhang Ren and the others are a little drifting. I really think that if the lord is injured, we have no defense at all, so we can let others handle it?"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Cheng Yu's face, and he glanced slightly at a dimly lit tent next to him, before he said sharply: "You lead the troops to resist, you must be more careful. Yan Yan is a cautious person." If the opponent is not fully prepared, Zhang Ren will not be allowed to go out to provoke, so go here, defense is the first priority, don't love to fight."

"Here."

Cao Ren immediately bowed to accept the order, and said excitedly that he couldn't wait to avenge Cao Cao.

"General, the Cao army has come out. Only Cao Ren, a general, has less than [-] troops. It seems that the general's expectation is true, Cao's army is empty, and only an empty shell is left!"

As soon as Cao Ren led the troops out of the camp, the lieutenant next to Zhang Ren immediately reminded him.

"It finally came out. I thought that this group of tortoises were really going to hide in the big camp and dare not come out?"

Zhang Ren took a good look at Cao Ren, who was about to catch up, and suddenly waved his hand and said loudly, "Withdraw!"

"what?"

The lieutenant couldn't believe it, he didn't know if it was something wrong with his ears or Zhang Ren was wrong.

They worked hard all night and finally waited until Cao Ren led his troops to rush out. Moreover, their troops still had an absolute advantage and they were preparing for a big battle. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren actually asked them to withdraw their troops at this time.

However, the military order was like a mountain, and the lieutenant general was only puzzled for a moment, and then reluctantly followed Zhang Ren to withdraw his troops.

"Huh? Could it be that Zhang Ren has noticed that our plan is not working?"

Cao Ren was also very surprised when he saw Zhang Ren suddenly lead the troops to retreat, and muttered with a complicated expression.

"Or, Zhang Ren set up an ambush in front, trying to lure the enemy into deep and trick us into it?"

Cao Ren looked at the Yizhou army who didn't stop at all, regardless of whether they would catch up or not, and doubts abounded.

"General, what are we going to do now?"

Beside Cao Ren, the lieutenant general Niu Jin was also a little unsure what Zhang Ren was doing.

All of a sudden, the [-] Cao troops were at a loss, not knowing whether to move on or withdraw their troops back to the camp.

"Yizhou soldiers are familiar with the terrain, and they are best at fighting in mountains. We have few soldiers, so we can't rush after them. And even if they didn't ambush, our current strength alone can't help them."

Cao Ren clenched his fist tightly. He also wanted to rush forward and fight Zhang Ren desperately to avenge Cao Cao.

But his current status is a general of the first army, so he can't act hastily.

"Here."

Niu Jin also looked unwillingly at the direction Zhang Ren left, and together with Cao Ren ordered Cao Jun to retreat to the camp.

The dark night sky became quiet again after a brief hustle and bustle.

It seems that nothing happened, but it actually conveyed a lot of information.

"General, Cao Ren, the son of a bitch, didn't chase the ball."

The lieutenant spoke in a strong Chuan voice, spitting and cursing in a low voice.

"I didn't catch up, great!"

After Zhang Ren heard this, he quickly told the army to stop, and said a little excitedly.

"General, I mean Cao Ren didn't catch up."

The deputy general was afraid that Zhang Ren didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help repeating it again.

He always felt that his general was a little weird tonight, always surprising him.

Looking at the deputy general's weird expression, Zhang Ren didn't know what he was thinking, he smiled helplessly, and hurriedly explained to him: "We can't be sure about the actual situation of Cao Jun and whether Cao Ying is empty or not. Once they attack the camp rashly, it is very likely that Cheng Yu, an old thief, will plot against them. I deliberately set up an array to provoke them, just to see if they would come out."

"What does this mean? This group of melons just emerged and shrank back."

The deputy general still didn't understand, his eyes were full of contempt for Cao Jun.

"What can this explain? This can explain a lot. If Cao Jun dare not go out of the camp after being provoked by us like this, it means that they are short of troops and dare not go out to fight. Of course, there is Cheng Yu, a scheming man." The old fox is here, so he might not see this. But if after Cao Ren rushed out, knowing that we had more troops than them, and continued to catch up with me regardless, there are two possibilities. One is that they set There is an ambush, not afraid that there are too many of us, the second is that Cheng Yu ordered us to scare us away."

"But now they hesitated for a moment, and then retreated. This just shows that although they are unwilling, the camp is empty, so empty that they dare not take the slightest risk."

As soon as Zhang Ren's voice fell, he immediately shook his voice and said: "So, we can fight back now. Not only can we be sure that Cao Ying is empty and don't have to worry about ambush, but we can also kill them unexpectedly. No matter how resourceful Cheng Yu is, he will never expect us Will suddenly kill a return carbine."

"The general is really powerful!"

After listening to the deputy general, he couldn't help being convinced, and finally understood why Zhang Ren was able to get Yan Yan's attention all the way up.

Not only because of his outstanding martial arts, but also because of his grasp of warfare.

Zhang Ren smiled slightly. This tentative method, including the estimation of the number of Cao Jun when he ran up the mountain, he had told Yan Yan in advance.

As long as Cao Jun is found to be abnormal in the middle, he will immediately lead the troops back to the pass.

But now it seems that Cao's camp is empty. Their sudden return might capture Cheng Yu and Cao Ren alive!
At that time, Cao Cao will definitely get angry and aggravate his injuries, and they will also make great contributions, not only defending the Jianmen Pass, but also inflicting unprecedented heavy losses on Cao Jun!
