Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 459 Sneak attack on Li Ru's camp and soldiers encircle Chang'an City



At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Duan Wei led the ten thousand cavalry and left the camp quietly. However, as soon as he left the camp, he was followed by Cao Shuo's scouts.

"Quickly go back and report to the king, we will continue to watch here."

In Cao Shuo's big village, Huang Zhong, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Yan Liang, Zang Ba and others came to Cao Shuo's big tent, waiting for Cao Shuo's orders.

"Cao Ren, Zang Ba, the two of you lead five thousand tiger guards and ten thousand crossbowmen to defend the camp and protect several army divisions at the same time."

"promise!"

With 5000 people, with the most advanced equipment, the sharpest arrows, and the most powerful crossbows, it is no problem to stick to a camp.

The combined army of Li Ru and Duan Yao is less than 8 people. It is just a dream to break through his camp.

Cao Shuo, Huang Zhong, Xia Houyuan, and Yan Liang, each with [-] troops, secretly left the camp. Their purpose was very simple, to sneak attack on their camp while the opponent was attacking.

Although he knew that Li Ru would not easily give up his camp to him, this was the most effective way to eliminate Dong Zhuo's remaining troops.

Regardless of whether Li Ru was in ambush or not, he would attack the opponent's camp. Dong Zhuo's troops were running low. If they were wiped out again, Chang'an could be broken within half a month.

Xia Houyuan said with a serious face: "General Huang, you and the king will attack Li Ru's camp together, while General Yan Liang and I will sneak attack Duan Yao's camp."

Among them, apart from Cao Shuo, only Huang Zhong and Dian Wei had the highest military strength. If two of them followed Cao Shuo, there would be no problem.

Cao Shuo denied, "Dian Wei and I are fine. Han Sheng pretended to be the defeated Qin army after bypassing Hongmen, and then took all the counties to the east of Chang'an."

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed, "Would you like to let the little boy Huang Xu stay and obey the command of the lord?"

Cao Shuo shook his head, Huang Zhong also needs help, Huang Xu must be of great use following him, not to mention that there are many young generals on his side.

Cao Shuo led the army and sneaked outside Li Ru's camp. The scouts in ambush found Cao Shuo and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Ru has led the army out of the camp, and there are only two or three thousand people left in the camp. "

Two or 3000 people?

Cao Shuo looked surprised, this is probably a trap.

Even if he led a large army to attack his camp, Li Ru should leave at least 5000 people behind to ensure that his camp would not encounter any problems.

As far as these two 3000 people can do, his cavalry will rush in, and I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out in less than half an hour.

"Dian Wei, you lead the three thousand Xuanjia troops and kill me in."

"Kill it!"

"General Dian Wei of the State of Wei is here. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly."

"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"

The soldiers in the camp seemed very flustered, and Dian Wei's cavalry rushed into the camp without encountering much resistance.

"boom!"

A fire ignited in the camp instantly, Dian Wei looked horrified, he didn't expect that there were not many people in the camp, but there were a lot of things that started the fire.

"Get out!"

"hiss!"

"what…"

Numerous horse-rejection posts blocked Dianwei's retreat. Seeing that Dianwei could not rush out, Cao Shuo looked at Han Hao behind him and said, "Han Hao, you lead five thousand cavalry to support General Dianwei!"

"promise!"

"Boom!"

Han Hao led the five thousand Xuanjia troops directly into the camp.

The two joined forces, ordered the soldiers to clear the roadblocks, and when they were about to leave the camp, two cavalrymen suddenly killed them from a distance.

It was Li Ru and Deputy General Wu who were leading the team. It was Li Ru's idea that the two of them came back halfway. They abandoned Duan Yan and rushed back to ambush the soldiers who attacked their camp.

When Li Ru left the camp, he had already placed many fire starters in the camp, and ordered the soldiers who stayed behind to light the fire starters in the camp as soon as they encountered an enemy attack.

Seeing that Dazhai was on fire, they returned with their soldiers.

And Duan Yan also received the news that as long as the camp was on fire, he would attack the camp symbolically, and then lead the army back.

"Kill it!"

When Li Ru saw that the enemy army was Cao Ziqi, he knew that this large army that was attacking must be Cao Shuo's Chinese army.

"Capture Cao Shuo alive and make him a king with a different surname!"

"Kill Cao Shuo and make him king of Wei!"

Cao Shuo, who was still lying in ambush, heard this voice, his face was full of contempt, and he wanted to capture me alive?
Let's not talk about how many troops you have, even the [-] Xuanjia troops behind me, from Xiliang to Qingzhou, you don't have the ability to capture me alive.

Looking at the chaotic scene in the camp, Zhao Yu asked eagerly, "Your Majesty, aren't we going to help?"

"Dian Wei and Han Hao can handle it, we don't need it for now, let's see if there are any ambushes."

Cao Shuo waited for a while, and when he saw that no ambush came out, he shouted, "Kill!"

"Cao Shuo is here, who dares to fight!"

"kill!"

Li Ru, who was commanding the soldiers to fight against Dian Wei, was ashamed when he heard Cao Shuo's voice. The bastard was so calm and waited for so long.

"His Royal Highness, the opponent's cavalry is too strong, and we will soon be unable to stop it."

"His Royal Highness, the opponent's general is too brave, and our dozen lieutenants can't last a round in his hands."

"His Royal Highness, our rear army has collapsed."

Li Ru was very depressed, there was nothing he could do if the ambush was like this, even if Cao Shuo didn't come, I'm afraid they would not be able to take down the thousands of cavalry trapped in the camp.

"withdraw!"

In desperation, Li Ru had no choice but to lead the army to retreat. If the battle continued, all of their army would be here.

"Quickly retreat to the Hongmen Pavilion and join forces with General Duan Yan."

When Li Ru came outside the camp at Hongmen Pavilion, seeing the flames in the camp, his heart sank, and Cao Shuo actually divided his troops to attack Duan Yan's camp.

"Xia Houyuan is here, where is Li Ru going!"

Li Ru hurriedly led his soldiers to resist for a while, and at this moment, Duan Yan led the army to the camp.

The two joined forces to break out of the siege and rush to Chang'an.

Cao Shuo let Han Hao and Xia Houyuan guard the two camps, and then he, Dian Wei and Yan Liang led an army to pursue Li Ru.

There were pursuers behind and interceptions in front. Li Ru escaped death and returned to Chang'an City. There were only more than 1000 people left. In order to cover his retreat, Duan Wei personally stayed behind.

Li Ru looked at Duan Yan who was tied up outside the city, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell off the tower.

This is even worse for them who are short of major generals.

They don't have many generals who can command troops to fight. If Cao Shuo encircles Chang'an and sends generals to take other counties, it will be dangerous.

Cao Shuo built four camps around Chang'an City, completely surrounding Chang'an.

’Send someone to inform Xun Yu and ask him to mobilize an army of [-] to Chang’an! '
