In the dark night, Cao Ren, fully clothed in armor, sat in the tent with his eyes slightly closed, stroking the handle of the sword as if stroking the skin of his beloved Mei Ji.

"Uncle Zixiao, are these... hussar traitors really coming to attack the camp?" The young man was sleepy. Cao Xiu sat aside and yawned several times in a row, saying something vaguely.

Cao Ren glanced at Cao Xiu and said, "If you are sleepy, you can squint first..."

Cao Xiu held on, "Where are you sleepy? I... yawn..."

Cao Ren couldn't help laughing twice, and then he felt that Cao Xiu was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said: "Nowadays, all the hussars love to take risks... I hid in the mountains and forests to harass you.

Now that you and I are under Wubao, we will definitely think of taking the opportunity to attack at night! Even if we don’t come tonight, we will definitely come tomorrow night!”

Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What? This... hussar soldier went around behind us? How is it possible? How did they get past?"

Cao Ren twirled his beard, "The hussars are good at hiding in the mountains and forests...or they swam across Danshui... Huh, it's just the people who are going around. There can't be too many people, so they must be under the cover of night, causing chaos."

Military camp, in order to win!"

As soon as Cao Ren finished speaking, he heard a sudden report from soldiers outside the tent: "There are shadows of people shaking in Wubao, and it is suspected that soldiers are about to come out!"

Cao Xiu stood up immediately, and all his sleepiness flew out of the sky, "He is indeed here!"

Cao Ren, however, sat still, sneered twice and said, "It's the same trick again! Use Wubao as bait to attract attention, and then while you and I are focused on Wubao, we attack a certain rear camp..."

Cao Xiu grabbed the sword on the side and said excitedly: "It's really a rat! He will do such dirty things! Let's see how I go to the back camp and take the heads of these rats!"

"Wait a minute!" Cao Ren stretched out his hand to stop Cao Xiu, frowned and thought for a moment, "Wen Lie, you'd better go to the front camp to organize the array...make a feint attack, remember to stand under the light and fire, show your body a little bit...and don't be too embarrassed."

We are close to Wubao..."

"Uncle Zixiao means..." Cao Xiu paused, "Could it be..."

Cao Ren laughed a few times and said, "You know, why don't you go quickly!"

"I got the order!" Cao Xiu handed over his hand and went to the front camp excitedly.

Cao Ren smiled slightly, then put away his smile and shouted in a deep voice, "Get ready to form a formation and follow someone to the back camp!"

Cao Ren concluded that there must be some agreed communication code inside and outside Wubao, so as long as Cao Xiu is exposed to light and fire, the people in Wubao will definitely think that the camp's attention is focused on the front, and they will give in to the darkness.

The hidden hussars sent a signal!

In the rear camp, Cao Ren had already ordered some baggage to be moved secretly, and now he only needed to tear down the empty tents to free up a large open space.

Sword and shield bearers, spearmen, and archers lined up one after another, standing quietly in the darkness and waiting.

The noise in the Wubao area was getting louder and louder, as if it was like tumbling gruel, with bubbles popping up randomly. However, there was silence in the back camp, and only the sound of thin breathing could be heard.

Cao Ren focused his main attention on the rear camp, because only by clearing out the threats in the rear can he better attack the Wubao in front, so he waited quietly, like a big net opened

spider, waiting for the moth to fall into its web.

There seemed to be some different noises in the night wind. The straw man stuck on the sentry tower in the back camp was hit by an unknown crossbow bolt or an arrow, and fell sideways.

, hit the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that all the soldiers in Cao's army had a rank, such a change would have caused a few subconscious exclamations. But now, the sound of breathing is just a little louder...

Cao Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at the wall of the rear camp.

Several flying claws were thrown out from the other side of the camp, and with a subtle clicking sound, they landed on the wall of the camp.

There was a lot of noise in the former Yingwu Fortress, firelight flickered wildly, and figures swayed.

Cao Ren stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to hold still.

Several black shadows popped up on the wall of the village, then stayed for a moment, then climbed over the wall, then quickly climbed down and rushed to the gate of the back camp, and then they climbed up with three clicks and two clicks.

He lowered the latch and opened the camp door...

Cao Ren slowly clenched his palms into fists, indicating preparation...

The sword and shield soldier lowered his head, only revealing a little of his eyes above the shield, staring straight ahead.

The spearman held one hand in front and the other behind, raising the spear diagonally, ready to assist the swordsman and shieldman to attack forward at any time.

The archer put the arrow on the bowstring, then half-opened his arm and half-raised his arm, waiting for the next order.

Cao Ren raised his hands in the air...

The gate of the back camp is dark and open, like the big mouth of a naughty child at home, a bottomless pit that can never be filled...

However, I don't know if it was because he was too eager to wait. Cao Ren felt that this time seemed a little too long. Just when he felt that his arms were slightly sore, he saw some black shadows shaking outside the gate of the rear camp.

, arrived in front of the door, stretched his head and looked inside.

This is……

So cautious?

Cao Ren subconsciously held his breath, but immediately felt a little laughable. The distance was so far, no matter whether he was breathing or holding his breath, the other party couldn't hear him at all.

So……

broken!

Cao Ren suddenly realized that it was precisely because the rear camp was too quiet that some flaws were revealed!

After all, normally speaking, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu didn't have too many soldiers. Although the distance between the front camp and the back camp was a little, it was not just like the Baili United Camp. There was turmoil in the front camp, and there was nothing in the back camp.

did not hear it……

The noise in the front camp and Wubao is still going on, and you can hear it even from here. Under such circumstances, there should be a team leader or a commander in the rear camp leading a patrol, and it is possible to suppress it.

Chaos may occur, or it may be following orders to prepare supplies, etc. In addition, most of the rear camp will be civilians and auxiliary soldiers, so no matter how strict the discipline is, there is still some noise, and now because of Cao Ren's arrangement

The array and traps were dug, so the back camp naturally seemed unusually quiet at the moment...

Of course, in most cases, ordinary people will not notice this. When they see the camp gate open, they will rush in to kill in excitement. They will even start shouting before they reach the camp gate, fearing that the world will not be safe.

There were many generals who knew that he was coming, but it happened that Cao Ren met Liao Hua.

Liao Hua was one of the few generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms who lived to be over 80 years old. He participated in two series of Northern Expeditions from Zhuge Liang to Jiang Wei. He survived from a military academy to a general, and even lived until Liu Chan surrendered.

In the end, it was still not death in battle but death from illness. Luck may be one aspect, but another more important aspect is that Liao Hua was more cautious than ordinary people.

Luck may take care of you for a while, but only caution can benefit you for a lifetime.

Two torches were thrown in and landed on the ground in the back camp.

Cao Ren frowned tightly...

The black shadow at the camp gate shook twice, and then suddenly a sound broke out: "Kill! Kill!"

The cry of killing vibrated in the night sky, resounding inside and outside the camp. Even though Cao Jun's troops were in formation, they couldn't help but move forward subconsciously...

Cao Ren quickly shouted softly: "Don't move, don't move at all!"

Now that this is the case, we can't act rashly, we can only take a gamble...

After all, it’s possible that the entire rear camp was attracted to the front camp to form a formation, right? Besides, the rear camp isn’t the place where all supplies and supplies are placed, so isn’t it worth taking some risks and burning it?

Come on, come to the bowl, um, come to the trap...

Quick, quick...

Cao Ren gnashed his teeth and muttered, and the arms he raised were a little sore. He couldn't help but move slightly, and fell down a little...

The soldiers of Cao's army, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, thought it was Cao Ren who had given the order to attack. They immediately shouted and moved forward in unison! The swordsmen, shield-hands, spearmen and archers cooperated seamlessly, and they rushed out of the darkness in an instant, heading towards the gate of the rear camp.

Surrounded by everything!

『@#&!』

In the midst of the chaos, Cao Ren couldn't help but yell something, but at this point, naturally there was no way to take it back. He could only immediately give the order and go out to pursue the camp to see if he could catch some.

The stragglers who had not yet escaped came to ask for some specific information.

But when Cao Ren and others chased them out of the camp gate, they saw only darkness.

The trees and shrubs on the mountain road are swaying, and it seems that there are countless figures hiding among them, or there are not many people at all...

"Search!" Cao Ren shouted through gritted teeth, "Search for imprints! Find them all for me!"

At this moment, Cao Xiu, who was in the front camp, hurriedly sent soldiers to report that the hussars in Wubao did not intend to fight with Cao Xiu, but took advantage of the chaos to escape. Cao Xiu asked if he wanted to pursue...

…

"What?!" Cao Ren was furious, and then reacted instantly. No wonder these people in the rear camp were not eager to gain any victory, nor did they have the desire to burn the food, grass and baggage, because the goal of these people was to draw Cao's soldiers to Wubao.

The people inside create opportunities to escape! So whether it is really creating chaos, or Cao Ren has set up a heavy ambush like now, his purpose has been achieved!

"Huh..." Cao Ren slowly put the sword into the scabbard, "Send the order, withdraw the troops and return to camp!"

"General, are you going to stop pursuing me?"

Cao Ren raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, "No more pursuit, withdraw your troops!"

"Then the place of Wubao..."

"We'll talk about it after dawn!"

Before dawn, Cao Xiu and some ordinary soldiers of Cao Ren's army, who had not understood Cao Ren's orders, were awakened again. They stood in the military camp and looked at the burning Wubao, which lit up half of the sky.

I can't help but stand on my head with chills all over my body!
