    People in the Qin and Han Dynasties relied on corn as their staple food, were severely lacking in vegetables and meat, and had insufficient vitamins in their bodies. "Night blindness" was very common. In a dark environment, people's vision was extremely poor and they could not even see. Therefore,  Night battles rarely happen, not because they don¡¯t want to fight, but because they are too difficult to fight and the chance of accidental injury is too high!

    Cao Cao has been commanding troops for many years and has rich experience, so he naturally knows the taboos of night battles. However, the trenches dug by Yuan Jun are high on the inside and low on the outside. Once Cao Cao stops attacking, they will inevitably counterattack in a massive way, and the gains of the soldiers' bloody battle for a day will be completely lost.  Got it!

    At this point in the battle, we could only advance but not retreat. There was a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire ahead, so we had to brave it. After nightfall, Cao Jun not only did not withdraw his troops, but increased his troops, beat the drums desperately, and continued to attack the third trench.  !

    "Kill! - Advance without retreat, fight to the bitter end!"

    "Come on! - The one who gets there first will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Difficulties are meant to be conquered. Since it is difficult to see in the dark, use fire to illuminate them. The soldiers of Cao's army held a sword in one hand and waved a torch in the other. They fought desperately on the battlefield. They also piled up stacks of dry firewood in important areas and lit them to illuminate.  use!

    People are willing to work hard, and God also helps. That night, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are bright, and the water-like moonlight shines on the battlefield, which is more useful than millions of torches!

    In order to boost morale, Cao Cao personally went to the front line and stood on a high slope, beating drums to cheer and direct the battle. Therefore, the generals and soldiers moved forward bravely and desperately attacked the third trench. Even so, the progress was very slow. There are three reasons.  :

    First, the soldiers of Cao's army have been fighting for a whole day. Not only have they suffered heavy casualties, they are also very tired. Their fighting spirit is high, but their bodies are weak!

    Secondly, Yuan Jun was arrayed with his back to the water and had no way to retreat. The rabbit was biting when it was anxious. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who naturally resisted to the death and refused to retreat in a bloody battle!

    Third, in the night, the vision was extremely poor, and Cao Jun¡¯s big killer weapon, the Thunderbolt Chariot, also lost its accuracy. The third trench was close to the river bank, and the ground was muddy, making it difficult for the projectiles to roll, and the lethality was reduced by most of it!

    At this point, we can only fight hard and risk our lives. Cao Cao's army was mobilized. The men and horses were divided into four teams and took turns to launch fierce attacks. The generals took the lead and all fought on the front line. Cao Cao took command and saw  Those who retreat before the battle are immediately beheaded in public display. Righteousness does not make money, kindness does not control troops. This is the true meaning of war!

    On the battlefield, there were sparks of fire, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Cao Jun was like a giant net, tightening in all directions; Yuan Jun was like a big fish, rolling up and down, struggling desperately. It all depends on their abilities whether they will catch them all in one catch, or whether the fish will die and the net will break!

    Attack, counterattack, attack again, counterattack again Both sides repeatedly saw each other, resulting in countless casualties, corpses strewn across the fields, and rivers of blood. The fight lasted until midnight, and both armies were exhausted. At this time, the strength of Cao's army was evident.  !

    The soldiers charged forward. Those with better eyesight brandished weapons, fought desperately, and even exchanged their lives for lives. Those with poor eyesight crawled on the ground and groped around with their hands. Cao Jun was well-equipped and wore cowhide boots.  , Yuan Jun rushed into battle. There were many people with cloth shoes, straw sandals, and bare feet. If they touched anything that was not cowhide boots, Cao Jun's soldiers would chop them down with their swords. They would not stop until they died!

    The auxiliary soldiers followed behind and were responsible for filling the trenches. In the dark, it was inconvenient to carry them. They threw rocks, soil, straw, firewood and even dead people and horses all in, and filled them up with flesh and blood.  Several trenches!

    "Ten thousand victories! - Ten thousand victories! - Ten thousand victories for Cao's army!"

    After a night of bloody fighting and fighting all night, at dawn, after paying huge casualties, Cao Jun finally occupied the trench. The soldiers faced the rising sun, brandished their weapons, and shouted loudly, shaking the earth and the earth. At this point, victory was within reach!

    On the other hand, on the Yuan Army side, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The remaining soldiers retreated to the Wei River, crying and shouting, their formations were chaotic, and they basically lost their combat effectiveness. As long as the opponent rushed over, they would have to jump into the river to feed the fish!

    "God bless, life and death, victory or defeat, all depends on the last fight. Don't be complacent, Cao A'mao, I still have a trump card!"

    By the Weishui River, Yuan Shao was holding a sword, covered in blood, and looked extremely embarrassed. But in his eyes, there was no frustration of the defeated, but full of hope. As long as the plan goes well, he still has a chance to make a comeback!

    In this battle at Cangting, Yuan Shao lined up against the enemy. It was not a mistake in using his troops, but a very useful purpose. One was to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely, and the other was to imitate Han Xin and fight for his life!

    In the third year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the general Han Xin led more than 10,000 people and set out from Guanzhong to attack the State of Zhao. They met 200,000 Zhao soldiers at Jingxing Pass. At this time, the enemy was outnumbered and the terrain was unfavorable. The Han army had a chance of victory.So tiny!

    Han Xin then divided his troops into two groups. One army formed with its back to the water and fought the Zhao army head-on. He also retreated step by step, abandoning flags and ordnance to lure the Zhao army to mobilize. The Han army had no way to retreat and could only fight bravely to kill the enemy, one for ten!

    At the same time, another Han army with two thousand cavalry suddenly rushed into the Zhao army's camp, pulled out the flags inside and replaced them with the Han army's red flag. The Zhao army's camp was lost, the morale of the army was in chaos, and the 200,000 men and horses instantly collapsed.  The coach also became a prisoner, but Han Xin became famous in one battle and became the "Soldier Immortal"!

    Yuan Shao was familiar with military books and kept this allusion in mind. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is difficult to win. He also wants to imitate the old wisdom of the "Soldier Immortal" and defeat the powerful Cao army.  Yes, the real killer move is - Jiang Qi!

    The situation in Bingzhou was tense. Jiang Qi led 60,000 elites to support him. However, he was summoned back halfway. For this new force, Yuan Shao did not join the Cangting battlefield, but secretly ambush him!

    The military order Jiang Qi received was: lurk near the battlefield, wait until Cao's army mobilized in full force, and broke through three trenches. When he got carried away, he suddenly rushed into Cao's camp, burned the food, grass, tents, and ordnance inside, and then attacked from inside and outside, annihilating Cao's army in one fell swoop.  Main force!

    This kind of strategy is very superb, very feasible, and it is going very smoothly. However, Cao Cao knows the art of war that Yuan Shao has read by heart. No matter how powerful the military strategist is, it is not like "Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails."  ?

    "It's time to light the thick smoke, move out the ambush, attack from both inside and outside, defeat Cao's army, and turn the tide!"

    Yuan Shao gave an order, and the soldiers lit three bonfires and poured wet firewood on them. In an instant, three plumes of thick smoke rose into the sky, like three evil dragons with teeth and claws. They could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away!

    "Long! - Long! - Long!"

    After the signal was sent, a group of men and horses suddenly emerged from a dense forest on the east side of the battlefield, holding the flag of Yuan Jun high, and rushed straight to Cao Jun's camp at an extremely fast speed. It was Jiang Qi's 60,000 ambushes!

    At this time, Cao's army was mobilized, and the camp was extremely empty. It was too late to return reinforcements. Once this force was allowed to attack, the retreat would be cut off, and the remnants of Yuan's army in the encirclement would also come back to life.  The Battle of Ting is about to be reversed, and all previous efforts in the Northern Expedition will be in vain!

    "The general made a clever plan, and the ambush troops went straight to Cao's camp. We are back to life!"

    "The army attacks from the front and back, and kills everyone. It's time to avenge Guandu!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Yuan Jun retreated step by step and retreated to the edge of the Wei River. He had lost confidence. At this time, when he saw a supporting army, he was immediately elated and cheered loudly. Unfortunately, they forgot one sentence - the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

    "Stop!The entire army removed its armor, changed its flags, and marched into the camp slowly. We surrendered to the imperial court!"

    No one expected that Jiang Qi's men and horses stopped three miles away from Cao's camp, then took off their armor, held their weapons upside down, lowered the Yuan army's flag, put up a white flag, and slowly walked towards Cao's camp, a pair of  People and animals look harmless. According to the rules of the battlefield, this is called "turning sides, disarming, and surrendering with courtesy!"  ¡¯

    During the Battle of Xiliang, Jiang Qi surrendered to Xiao Yi and was sent back to Yuan Jun's camp, becoming a secret agent. Over the years, Jiang Qi leaked military information, sow discord, and secretly helped He has done everything.  He was "indispensable" for the Yuan family's defeat after defeat. Now that he has defected in the face of battle, his merit is considered complete!

    Last night, Jiang Qi was ready. He first used iron and blood methods to purge those who were unwilling to defect, and then sent envoys to meet with Cao Cao to discuss the details of the defection. Therefore, Cao Cao's camp was well prepared and immediately opened the camp gate to welcome him.  The soldiers came in and were entertained with fine wine and delicious food!

    Of course, Cao Cao was cunning and would not trust anyone. He secretly made two preparations. His trusted generals Li Dian and Le Jin led their troops to ambush the camp. If Jiang Qi really surrendered, then everything would be easy. If it was a fake surrender, he would immediately  Destroy, leave no one behind!

    "Wan Sheng! - Wan Sheng! - Prime Minister, Wan Sheng!"

    The sudden appearance of the strange soldiers actually turned their backs and surrendered. The morale of Cao's army increased sharply. They moved forward step by step and fought bravely. They rushed into the remaining enemy troops and wiped them out!

    "Jiang Qi is a despicable villain. I treat you well. Why did you fail me? Why did you fail mePfft!

    The great hope was shattered in an instant. Yuan Shao's face was ashen, and finally he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he fell into a coma - the four states of Hebei are in trouble!

    The reinforcements defected and the commander was in a coma. With no way forward and pursuers behind him, Yuan's army of more than 100,000 people completely collapsed. Countless people died in battle, were trampled to death, and drowned. The dead bodies flowed down the river, and the river was blocked. The remaining people knelt down.  Di begged to surrender and became a prisoner of Cao's army!

    Yuan and his son were incompetent in fighting, but experienced in escaping. Under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, they clashed east and west and fought bloody battles. Finally, they climbed aboard a grain ship and first went to the Cangting base camp, then fled back to Yecheng(  Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Then he climbed onto a grain transport ship, first went to Cangting base camp, and then fled back to Yecheng (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
