Chapter 167 [Li Dian's Revenge]

(Thank you Dameng and Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ufgw, for your continuous support.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not surprising that Lu Bu is here. Since he sent an assassin, he naturally has to prepare for both actions: failing assassination, stopping; successful assassination, and encircling heavily.

If Xiahou Dun is stabbed to death and Cao's camp loses its chief general, there will be chaos. There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity to attack Cao's camp, expand the results of the battle, and even defeat the last elite force of the Cao army in Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Even though he knew that this hope was slim, the benefits of success were so tempting that Lu Bu would rather work hard and have to deploy heavy troops to attack at any time.

Lu Bu sent 5,000 troops, and Satolan assisted 2,000 troops, totaling 7,000 troops, and did not have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. The main reason is that this is a night attack, the soldiers are easily dispersed and dispersed, and the difficulty of command is much greater than that of the daytime array. This requires the main general and generals at all levels to proofread the troops with extremely strong control ability, reaching the level of arm-to-arm command. Therefore, among the five thousand soldiers led by Lu Bu, 3,000% of the combat soldiers were his Bingzhou army, and only 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers were Yanzhou army. These miscellaneous soldiers were used to help and promote their power.

Lu Bu's troops were originally five miles away, but later he heard the provocate reporting the chaos in Cao's camp, so the army quietly approached two miles, just in time to detect it for Ma Han. At such a close distance, unless the patrols arranged by Cao's camp were all dead, it would never be impossible not to be discovered.

According to normal historical development, Xiahou Dun had already played the role of Han Hao, one of whom was a red face and the other was a black face, and he fooled five assassins to discard their weapons and then killed them. Then he immediately checked the troops and made a strict defensive posture. Seeing that the assassination failed, Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat in shame, and the army was really useless.

However, at this moment, history is different. The assassin was indeed dead, but Xiahou Dun was also severely injured. At this time, the Cao camp was in chaos. Xiahou Dun fainted several times while bandaging the wound. While enduring the pain of the palm, Cheng Yu suffered the guilt of accidentally hurting Xiahou Dun, and his whole body had lost his usual calmness. His heart was as chaotic as he was in a trance, and he could not count on it.

At this time, Han Hao, as the deputy, was so anxious that he was wandering around outside the main tent. The enemy had already arrived, and the general was still healing his wounds, sometimes awake and sometimes dizzy. He had no military orders, had arrows, and lost command. How can this battle be fought?

Just as Han Hao was almost vomiting blood, a weak call like "Xianyin" finally came from the tent: "Sima Han, please enter the tent."

Han Hao, a Sima of the Dianjun, took two steps at a time, lifted the curtain and entered the tent. The tent was filled with a strong smell of blood and medicine. Xiahou Dun, who was originally lying on the couch, had already sat up and was wearing armor under the guard's service. This powerful general, who was once dignified and powerful, had a pale face, his lips were purple, and a circle of white cloth wrapped around his left eye.

Xiahou Dun had no expression on his face. He stared at Han Hao with his one-eye and said coldly: "Is that guy Lu Bu here?"

Han Hao lowered his head: "Yes, it's not true to see in the darkness. But it's not less than five thousand soldiers."

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "Very good. Do you think I'm injured and can't command the army? Lu Bu, I will let you take a good look..." Xiahou Dun said while snatching the bronze mirror and snatching it, regardless of the guard's dissuasion...

Bang! A sound of gold and iron breaking and a roar like a wounded beast came from the military tent: "Lu Bu! I swear to be incompatible with you!"

...

In ancient times, both armies would try to avoid night battles, because night battles were out of order. They could not arrange, command, use tactics, and even the advantage of military strength could not be reflected. Both sides fought in a melee, and they won inexplicably and were defeated in a confused manner.

The night battle is worth fighting only in one situation, that is, the night attack, just like the current battle of Lu Bu covering the attack on Cao's camp.

In the night attack battle, the Marven had fought before. Two years ago, he led hundreds of white wolf cavalry to run 300 miles and fought with the Xianbei Suli tribe to attack the old nest of Wuwan, Pinggang, Wuyan, and Wuyan, who was a cavalryman, after a long period of cooperation and combat, he had a high level of tacit understanding. He fought in a well-organized and rhythmic manner. In the end, he defeated Wuyan in one battle and won a great victory in the night attack.

At present, Lu Bu's seven thousand troops attacked Cao's camp at night, and this was a melee between ten thousand people. The scene was so chaotic that all the rules and battle formations were gone.

In the darkness, the front row of soldiers attacking the front line held shields and spears, and a large number of soldiers followed behind them. The footsteps were booming, and in the empty darkness, it sounded like the rustling sound of unknown creatures in the boundless darkness, which was terrifying and uneasy...

Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army was very well-organized at the beginning. The entire army was divided into ten large square formations, five in front and five in the back, covering an area of ​​only one mile, so it was basically able to command. Each five hundred-man square formation had two rows of auxiliary soldiers on both sides of the left and right sides, and there was a military marquis on the side and behind each side, two tooth generals commanded, and there was a middle marquis drum trumpeter behind the team. The night battle basically couldn't see the flag clearly, so he could only use the drum trumpet to command.

Originally, under the command of experienced generals under Lu Bu, the army advanced in an orderly manner, but as it got closer and closer to Cao's camp, Sailan's Juye Army was first in agitation, then started to cheer, and finally roared one after another, rushing forward like a tide.

The Yanzhou army behind the Bingzhou army was also infected and became in chaos. Under such circumstances, the Bingzhou army had to accompany them to rush forward, and the army formation would naturally become chaotic as soon as it rushes.

At first, Cao's army was panicked and not effectively commanded for a long time, and the counterattack was very weak. After several rounds of arrows passed, the Lu Bu coalition rushed to the front of the camp. As soon as the two armies came into contact, they became increasingly fierce. The front row of the coalition forces waved their swords and stabbed their spears, killing them when they saw people, while the soldiers behind rushed forward in a swarm.

When the battle was in chaos, the lighting, command, drums and trumpets were all in chaos. Everyone shouted loudly, and no one knew why they shouted so vigorously. Many people, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends in front, were slashed and stabbed, and I don’t know how many people were killed by the cold swords and guns behind. Many soldiers in the front row were squeezed down into the trench, hit the antlers, and even fell to the ground, and were trampled by countless big feet behind... In comparison, it was better to be squeezed towards the enemy's weapons, at least they died in battle...

The warriors of the Marven and the White Wolf Cavalry were stunned. The night battle was so fierce... Even if they won after the war, they would probably have a terrible victory of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of themselves.

Ma Han shook his head and said without looking back: "Mancheng, Cao's army is not good, do you want to help? Hum? Mancheng..." Wu Wen responded. Ma Han turned his head, and Li Dian and his sixteen disciples disappeared.

At this time, a wolf cavalry soldier bowed and said, "The young master Dian has already left with his men. He said he wanted to kill Su Lan in the chaos and did not dare to disturb the city guards, so he left without saying goodbye."

Ma Han was stunned and chuckled, shaking his head: "This Li Mancheng is a bit tough. Forget it, do good people to the end and have enough favors. Let's go and pick him up."

With such chaos and such a dark night of murderous intent, even Ma Han dared not get involved easily, so he could only do his best to pick him up. If he couldn't pick him up, Li Dian and others would have to ask for more blessings.

Li Dian refused without saying goodbye, and it was really no-faced to ask Ma Han for help again. After careful calculation, Ma Han saved him twice. Not to mention that Zhong's father and his brother were both grateful. Attacking and killing Salan in the chaos army, such a high-risk matter can be called a life-and-death death. Li Dian had already led the sixteen dead soldiers to attack with the determination to be a good man. Naturally, Ma Han could not know about it, otherwise there would be a moral kidnapping.

Li Dian did not attack blindly. When Ma Han was sighing at the chaos in front of him, Li Dian's eyes were bright and searching continuously in the Lu Bu coalition. He first found the square formation of the Juye soldiers, and then scanned the square formation backwards, and saw a gathering place of cavalry with black flags and obviously higher than infantry. That area was most likely where the Central Army of Satolan was located.

Perhaps it was the will of heaven. When Li Dian led his disciples to rush down from the high slope, he encountered more than a dozen deserters. In this chaotic night battle, it was normal to have deserters. Li Dian Ben ignored it, but the two sides could not stop and almost collided with each other.

The instinct of the battlefield made both sides shine at the same time, and a light of weapon shook across Li Dian's face. At this moment, the opponent exclaimed: "Yes... it's Mr. Dian!"

Li Dian was stunned and tightened his sword in his hand: "Who are you?"

However, the other party urgently ordered his subordinates to put away their weapons and knelt on one knee: "The little one is named Peng Qi, the Juye Ren family, and the inner family Li family, who is from the Dian Gongzi clan."

Li Dian suddenly said: "Do you know where the orchid is?"

Peng Qi hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "The small subordinate to the seventh array, and the central army of the Sabubha is a hundred steps behind..."

Li Dian's sword light flashed and placed it on Peng Qi's neck, with a stern voice: "Take me to find Su Lan!"

Peng Qi's neck was stiff, he swallowed dryly, and his eyes widened: "Dan Master Dian wanted to take the head of the commander from the Qianjun with these dozen people? It's so difficult..."

"Is it difficult to do it lies in me, or whether to go or not?"

Peng Qi glanced at the sharp sword blade with his squinted eyes and said with a wry smile: "Dare you not obeying?"

Peng Qi did not lie. He led Li Dian and his party to bypass the side of the battlefield and approached the Juye Army from the rear. Peng Qi was a garrison commander with a low-level garrison flag on his back. It was with this garrison flag that he used the darkness to cover up the emergency military situation to break through three warnings in a row and approach the central army where Su Lan was located. But their good luck ended here. The fourth cordon line, no matter how Peng Qi requested, would not pass. To report the military situation, you can wait, and the guards would ask a military marquis to come and listen to see if it is worthless. But no matter whether it is worthless, it is impossible to describe the other person. A small garrison commander is not qualified.

Peng Qi had no choice but to turn around and said to Li Dian and others who were hidden under his armor: "Young Master Dian, the young man has done his best."

"I saw it." Li Dianjiu narrowed his eyes along the bottom, "Sa Lan, this thief, is really cautious."

A disciple stepped forward and whispered: "Young Master Dian, it's only a hundred steps, let's break through!"

Li Dian's eyes were staring at the black central army's flag a hundred steps away. Below the flag was the enemy. Even though he wanted to agree with what his disciple said, he would break through the enemy's words, but reason told him that this would be equivalent to dying.

No! Wait a little longer, think about it again, there must be a way! There must be a chance!

Just as Li Dian and his servants were anxious and worried, Peng Qi was frowning and was kicked on the shelves, good luck came again.

A fast horse rushed into the central army from the other side. I don’t know what he said, the central army’s flag actually moved. Usually, the two armies fought, and the central army’s flag should not be moved at will, which will affect the morale of the combatants in the front. However, this is a night attack, the flag is basically useless, and the Juye soldiers have already been disrupted. Many soldiers have rushed into Cao’s camp. Who cares about the central army? Even if Cao soldiers attacked the central army, the soldiers in the front cannot be pulled back to rescue them.

However, even so, it is still not a trivial matter to allow the Central Army to move. Li Dian no matter what prompted the Central Army to move, he only knew that the opportunity had come. Because the direction of the Central Army's movement was coming towards them, this time, it was not them looking for the Central Army, but the Southern Army to come up on their own.

The fire was shining, and the brigade of escorts was guarding each other. A sir, wearing heavy armor, was riding on a ride. At this moment, he was frowning with his eyebrows and did not look at the more than ten armored soldiers kneeling on the ground beside the road. But at this moment, a roar suddenly came from his ears: "Shit! Do you know the Cheng family Li Dian!"

Su Lan was shocked and looked up and turned her face. More than thirty steps away, the leader of the group of kneeling soldiers was blurred, but the crossbow in his hand was vividly visible.

The machine spring sounded, and a cold light passed through the figures of the entourage and shot towards him.

Blood light burst out and penetrated his throat.

The screams of Sarah were blocked in her throat, and she fell on her back without making any sound.

The central army in Juye was in chaos.

Sixteen guests jumped up one after another, waved their halberds and shields, and protected Li Dian.

Facing nearly a hundred entourages of Sae Lan who were so frightened and angry that he rode his horse around him, Li Dian laughed rather than shocked, and laughed extremely happily: "Father Zhong, brother, Dian Xun is happy to be unfair to his fate!"

The guests shouted: "Young Master Dian, go quickly!"

Li Dian threw down his crossbow bow and drew his sword and whistled: "Come on, let's go together - let's fight out!"
Chapter completed!
