"Kill!"
"Kill..."
"Kill..."
"Ah..."
"Kill..."
Yuan Shao's campsite near Gaotang was instantly thrown into chaos. A large number of Yang Rui's soldiers had broken into the campsite, killing and setting fires everywhere. Yuan Shao's soldiers were in a hurry to defend themselves, and were not wearing any armor or clothes. Therefore, they were caught off guard.
By the time a large number of soldiers in Yuan Shao's camp reacted, Yang Rui's soldiers had already quickly retreated. From start to finish, it had only taken an incense stick's worth of time.
In this short period of time, several li of Yuan Shao's camp near Gaotang County City had been ambushed. There were many casualties everywhere. At the same time, the fires set by Yang Rui's soldiers had also been set on fire.
By the time the other soldiers in Yuan Shao's camp reacted, Yang Rui's soldiers had already left and disappeared into the night.
At the same time, Yang Rui's soldiers appeared in the west and north. As they shot out fire arrows, more fires started to spread in Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao's soldiers steadied themselves and finally chased out of the camp. Yang Rui's soldiers also disappeared into the night as if they had never appeared.
For almost the entire night, Yuan Shao's camp near Gaotang was in a state of chaos. There was not much time for peace. Yang Rui's effect of disturbing the enemy had been achieved.
However, Yang Rui's initial plan was to use a diversion tactic. First, he would use the stealth of the bandit leader to launch a sneak attack on a corner of Yuan Shao's camp. He would wait for the soldiers in Yuan Shao's camp to rush over and then launch a sneak attack on other parts of the camp.
Yang Rui's plan was not wrong. However, he underestimated the abilities of Yuan Shao's generals. The current situation was indeed different from the Yellow Turban Rebellion plot.
When Yang Rui's soldiers appeared on the other side of Yuan Shao's camp, they were quickly discovered by the enemy's sentries. In the end, Yang Rui's soldiers could only take a step back. They ordered the archers to fire a round of fire arrows and set part of Yuan Shao's camp on fire before retreating.
Even so. Yuan Shao's soldiers in the camp did not have any peace for the entire night. They originally planned to attack Gaotang City after dawn, but they had to stop because of Yang Rui's sneak attack at night.
At this time, Yang Rui took advantage of the convenience of Sky City and arrived at Pingyuan City under the cover of night. He met with Du Yang, Ju Shou, Han Fu, Han Hao, Yu Jin and other generals. He also received some news about Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao and other reinforcements.
"Reporting to My Lord, Gongyou sent a letter a few days ago saying that he, Madam Yu Ju, Madam Die Lian and Madam Cheng Yue will each lead more than ten thousand soldiers to the north and south of Pingyuan Prefecture. They will deal with Yuan Shao's troops crossing the river.
Before the sky turned dark, we have already ascertained that this time Yuan Shao's troops are only involved in Pingyuan Prefecture, including Gaotang and two or three other counties in the south. I have already discussed with Gong Yu, Wen Jie, General Yu Jin, and Han Hao that we will send troops to Gaotang after daybreak to deal with Yuan Shao's troops crossing the river.
At the same time, I have already sent out fast horses to search for Gongyou and the three madams. I am prepared to inform them of the relevant information so that they can go to Gaotang together to help. I am not sure if this is appropriate.
My Lord, "Du Yang said to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui came in the middle of the night. Du Yang immediately rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion's study. It was obvious that Du Yang had been sleeping in his clothes and had not returned to his residence.
Originally, when Yang Rui came, Du Yang wanted to call Ju Shou, Han Fu, Han Hao and Yu Jin over as well. However, Yang Rui stopped him. At this time, it was difficult to get an effective rest. Yang Rui did not want to disturb the soldiers at the front line because of him.
"That is how it should be …"
"Yes …"
Yang Rui nodded in response. He came to Pingyuan City this time to mobilize troops. Previously, he had judged that Yuan Shao's troops would not be a threat to Pingyuan City based on their numbers. It was just the right time to mobilize them to deal with the enemy of Gaotang together.
After some discussion, Yang Rui agreed to let Du Yang, Han Hao, Yu Jin and 30,000 soldiers go to Gaotang County the next morning. Yang Rui left Ju Shou and Han Fu behind to guard Pingyuan City. He went to look for Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao.
This night was destined to be a restless one. While Yang Rui attacked the Gaotang camp, rushed to Pingyuan City, and then left, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and the others encountered their own situations.
Not long after nightfall, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and the 30,000 soldiers under their command encountered Yuan Shao's troops who had just crossed the river.
Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei were stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River by Yang Rui. Their main purpose was to block Yuan Shao's troops from retreating to the north. However, Cheng Yu and the others could not ignore Yuan Shao's troops who were following them.
Gao Shun and Dian Wei thought that they should simply repel Yuan Shao's troops who were crossing the river, but Cheng Yu thought for a long time about how to deal with them.
But in the end, Cheng Yu still chose to directly stop them. Even though he was very clear that even if he let this batch of Yuan Shao Du River's troops come over, it would not change the overall situation. Moreover, he could easily get rid of them, which was equivalent to letting them into his pocket.
However, Cheng Yu remembered Yang Rui's' mercy '. It seemed that he did not want Green Province to be affected more. At the same time, Cheng Yu also considered the need to participate in the Xuzhou incident. Therefore, he agreed with Gao Shun and Dian Wei and chose to stop the enemy directly.
It was a hazy night. Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei fought a beautiful battle of resistance and annihilated more than ten thousand enemies.
Of course, if Cheng Yu knew that this group of Jizhou soldiers crossing the river was Yuan Shao and his main troops, he would presumably choose to let them pass no matter what and think of a way to keep Yuan Shao here.
It could be said that Yuan Shao had dodged a bullet just like that. Even so, Yuan Shao's arrow had still taken a hit. Cheng Yu's Fifth Grade Silversmeared Crossbowmen were still very powerful!
Almost at the same time, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun's 30,000 soldiers also had some gains. They had basically sealed off all the exits from Yangping County to Liancheng County. In the end, they managed to capture a soldier from the Feng Ji Army who was reporting to Liancheng County.
"Mister Guo Jia, if you captured Feng Ji's messenger, why did you let him go?"
Huang Zhong was puzzled by Guo Jia's actions and asked.
The messenger sent by Feng Ji described the details of the battle at Yangping County in detail. Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun had all read the contents of the letter. If this letter fell into the hands of Yuan Shao's troops in Liaocheng, they would definitely be on guard.
"There is no need to be confused, general. I did this to confuse the enemy with the truth.
