Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 657 Don't let Zhang Liao go!
The camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba also covers an area of ​​several miles, like a town.

Now Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng opened an opening in the camp, which can only be regarded as the outermost area of ​​the camp, so if the night attack is to be successful, the entire camp must be in chaos.

"Hou Cheng, lead your troops to follow up! Don't go too deep!"

Although the night attack seemed to be going very smoothly so far, Zhang Liao still cautiously told Hou Cheng that the matter went so smoothly, and Zhang Liao felt an inexplicable worry.

Therefore, he was only going to take the cavalry to fight in, but he didn't want to let the other infantry fall into it. He needed to reserve a way out for himself.

Of course, if the night attack is really successful, it doesn't need too many soldiers to rush in. Zhang Liao only needs to drive away the chaotic soldiers of Liu Bei and Zang Ba in the camp, and it is enough to make the whole camp chaotic.

In the dark, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers might be able to kill each other. This is also the advantage of night raids.

In this battle, Zhang Liao didn't want to defeat the enemy in one battle, but only wanted to disrupt the offensive of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army and delay the defense of Pengcheng. Therefore, Zhang Liao didn't necessarily want to cause much damage to Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army.

If this camp can be set on fire and the food, grass and supplies of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's armies can be burned, it will be considered a great success.

Then Zhang Liao didn't wait for Hou Cheng's response, and rushed directly into the camp with three hundred Bingzhou cavalry, and killed them straight to the camp area where the soldiers in front were resting. Then move the wood in the bonfire to those tents, ignite the cloth tents, and increase the destructiveness of night attacks.

Driven by Zhang Liao and his cavalry, the chaotic soldiers all fled towards the core area of ​​Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp, and where the [-] cavalry passed, there was a series of flames.

As for Hou Cheng, he waited for the follow-up infantry to kill him before he entered the camp. However, Hou Guo did not lead his troops too deep. Hundreds of people scattered inside and continued to set fire to the camp.

Apparently Hou Cheng remembered Zhang Liao's entrustment. Of course, it is also possible that Hou Cheng himself did not want to take too many risks, so he could escape at any time by staying here.

Not to mention what happened to Hou Cheng, just say that Zhang Liao led the cavalry in front of him and trampled the military tents in the camp, driving away the chaotic soldiers, and gradually approached the central area of ​​the camp.

Suddenly there was a big fire ahead, but thousands of soldiers who seemed to have been prepared for a long time came out of some camps with full armor. It turned out that Liu Bei's soldiers were ambushing here.

Now that the ambushes appeared, there was a sudden sound of killing, "Kill, kill! Don't let Zhang Liao go!", "Come on, surround them!"

Then a red-faced long-bearded general wearing a green robe and holding a Qinglong Yanyue knife also appeared in the ambush on horseback. It was Guan Yu, the general under Liu Bei's account.

At this time, Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao who was a little surprised in front of him, and couldn't help but stroked his long beard and laughed loudly, "Wen Yuan, a certain family knew your nature, so they guessed that you would come to rob the camp tonight, so they are waiting here. If Wen Yuan knows you , it’s better to get off the horse and avoid the war, but also to preserve the friendship between the two of us!”

"Hmph, Guan Yu, how can you keep a certain family!"

Zhang Liao said in his mouth, but he didn't dare to continue to charge forward, so he pulled the rein and turned the horse's head, and shouted to the three hundred Bingzhou cavalry behind him, "Quick retreat, kill!"

"Drive!"

Zhang Liao immediately steered his horse and turned to one side, but led the [-] cavalry in the rear to find a direction and retreat, and there was no one to stop them for a while.

Guan Yu watched carefully from behind, and frowned slightly. At this time, Guan Yu realized that Zhang Liao had only brought [-] cavalry over, and there were no other soldiers behind him.

It is really not an easy task to stop Zhang Liao's cavalry in this way.

Therefore, Guan Yu could only order, "Come here, leave one of the soldiers and horses to appease the rebellious soldiers, and the others follow me to chase after me!"

Immediately, Guan Yu led more than 2000 ambush soldiers to chase in the direction where Zhang Liao was fleeing, and there were about one or two thousand ambush soldiers who began to stop the chaotic soldiers who were driven by Zhang Liao.

In fact, these so-called rebellious soldiers were just fresh recruits recruited, and they were the bait deliberately placed by Liu Bei and Guan Yu on the periphery of the camp to deceive Zhang Liao.

But Guan Yu still didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so bold, he dared to rush into the camp with only [-] cavalry, and there were not many other infantry accompanying him, so the ambush on Guan Yu's side was like hitting the empty space with his fist , but there is no way to contain Zhang Liao's night attack army here.

Although Guan Yu guessed that Zhang Liao might lead troops to attack at night, he was not very sure where Zhang Liao would come from.

At the same time, the camp is surrounded by plains, it is difficult to find a place to ambush, and it is impossible to turn the camp into an empty camp as a trap, so after Guan Yu designed it, he asked Liu Bei and Zang Ba to arrange for auxiliary soldiers and civilian service On the periphery, the elite soldiers were left in the core area of ​​the camp.

Then, in some key areas, the soldiers were arranged to wear armor and rest in batches, so that when they heard the movement of the enemy attack, they could stand up and fight at any time.

These soldiers can also be regarded as ambushes, but with a little more feasibility.

According to Guan Yu's plan, after Zhang Liao raided some place, ambush soldiers appeared to restrain Zhang Liao's night attack army, and then soldiers and horses from all over the place surrounded him, and Zhang Liao could be besieged in the camp.

But now Zhang Liao only brought [-] cavalry. With this speed, it is not so easy to surround Zhang Liao.

Besides, after Zhang Liao led his troops in, he set fire to the tents all the way. Now, under the turbulent wind, many places in Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp were still ignited by sparks. It's even harder.

Guan Yu couldn't help sighing inwardly, he still underestimated Zhang Liao's courage.

But now Guan Yu has no other choice but to chase Zhang Liao. He only hopes that there are other ambush soldiers in front of him who can block Zhang Liao's way, so that at least Zhang Liao can stay today.

It's just that after Zhang Liao knew the trick, how could he dare to stay longer, relying on the fact that the cavalry he led were all heavily armored cavalry, but he didn't care about it and retreated to the way the fire had come from.

When they saw the tent on fire in front of them, they also used their knives to open it first, and then drove straight to it, but before Liu Bei and Zang Ba's ambush surrounded them, they had already retreated to the opening where he came in.

Behind Guan Yu were all infantry, how could they catch up with Zhang Liao's cavalry, that is, Guan Yu's speed on the horse alone was not bad, and he could still pursue closely, and most of the other infantry were left behind.

"Where is Zhang Liao, where is Zhang Liao, let's see how powerful Zhang Ba Snake Spear is, where is Zhang Liao, where is Zhang Liao!"

Not long after, there seemed to be another person shouting violently in Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp. It was Zhang Fei who could stop the backflow of Dangyang water. At this moment, he also rushed over with a horse and a gun...
