    Since ancient times, armies have been most afraid of panic, especially at night, which has far-reaching consequences.

    Just like now, Cao Jun was suddenly attacked by the enemy and could not prevent an effective confrontation.

    Some even surrendered with others before even seeing the enemy troops.

    Therefore, in less than half an hour, Zhang He's army had settled the battle.

    We learned from the deputy general who took inventory of the battlefield that there were 1,200 enemy troops.

    Except for those who died in the panic, more than 800 people surrendered, and no one escaped.

    The general guarding here also died in the hands of Zhang He's army in a panic.

    Since Zhang He¡¯s strategy worked, the losses on his side were almost negligible.

    It can be said that tonight¡¯s battle was a big victory!

    "Subsequently, after taking all Cao's troops into custody, Zhang He's army completely took over the dangerous pass.

    After resting for two days, Zhang He's army set out from there.

    Except for the three hundred sergeants who were left to guard the prisoners, the others continued to march.

    After one day's journey, you can reach Wushi, which is located behind Cao Jun.

    This place is already one hundred and fifty miles away from Cao's army in Yiju and Yinpan, but it's just a matter of going down the Jing River.

    In one day and one night, you can reach Cao Ying.

    And ten miles further west from Wushi is the north-south Liupanshan Corridor.

    From there, we went south to Yangcheng, where Cao Ren was at this moment, which was also only over a hundred miles away.

    It can be said that this small county is an important node connecting the two Cao armies.

    However, the other party would never have thought that an enemy army would break through the two lines of defense and arrive at the city without anyone noticing.

    Therefore, the guards in the city are not too tight, and you can even see people walking inside and outside.

    This city is located in a valley, close to the Jing River, and Zhang He's army was hidden on the mountain and was not discovered by the opponent.

    Although the city is not big, you can see many Cao troops passing by from a high position.

    Based on Zhang He¡¯s experience and analysis, there are at least 8,000 defenders here.

    With five thousand against eight thousand, it is still a siege battle. Our side has no chance of winning. Even as supplies are gradually consumed, there is a risk of the entire army being annihilated.

    However, this does not trouble Zhang He.

    Since he can lead his army to sneak into the enemy's rear, he will have a way to capture the city in front of him.

    The method is still the same, pretend to be Cao Jun and earn the city.

    Facing Zhang He's repeated use of his old tricks, his generals were a little worried.

    After all, this place is different from the defenders in Haizhaigou.

    There are only a thousand Cao troops in Haizhaigou. Even if the plan fails and they turn to a forceful attack, it will not have much impact.

    But the garrison in front of him in the city was more than his own combined. If he was not careful, the entire army would be wiped out.

    However, Zhang He was brave enough to defy all opinions and confirmed the plan again.

    This time he pretended to be the defender of Haizhaigou and pretended to carry food into the city.

    Five hundred sergeants were dispatched this time, led by Zhang He personally to the county seat.

    "Who are you?"

    Although the Wushi County defenders came forward to question him, they were not nervous. Instead, it was as if they were doing routine work.

    After all, who would have thought that there would be enemy troops in Cao's rear?

    Zhang He pretended to be an old captain and explained his purpose to the defenders.

    The defenders checked briefly and then let them into the city.

    The success was so smooth that even Zhang He was surprised!

    However, he had a strong psychological quality and pretended that nothing was wrong, and slowly led people into the city.

    Because he deliberately arrived at the city in the afternoon, it was still dark when he finished loading the food.

    So Zhang He shamelessly asked to stay in the city overnight and leave at dawn the next day.

    Seeing that they were both part of Cao's army, the garrison in the city considered that the mountain road would be really difficult to travel after dark, so he reluctantly agreed.

    But what they don¡¯t know is what these seemingly harmless comrades will do at night.

    In the middle of the night, most of the defenders were already asleep, so Zhang He sent people to secretly open the city gate again.

    Bring in the army ambushing outside the city.

    Then, under his leadership, the army immediately launched and took advantage of the night to kill the defenders in pieces.

    And this time, in order to bluff, he did not?Prevent Cao Jun from escaping.

    Because he was in the middle of the killing, he had already secretly ordered his subordinates to shout that the imperial army was coming and they were overwhelming, and they would capture Cao Cao alive soon.

    This news was to be brought back to the fleeing troops, so Zhang He was still afraid that few of them would escape.

    After a night of fighting, Cao's troops in the city were dying and fleeing.

    Now it is completely occupied by Zhang He.

    Afterwards, he immediately began to stabilize the city defense in preparation for Cao Jun's counterattack.

    Zhang He believed that Cao Jun would never give up after losing the important town in the rear, and must use all means to capture it.

    This is not only to ensure the safety of your own rear, but also to test how many people the other party has.

    Because after Zhang He occupied this place, the communication between the two armies of Cao Cao and Cao Ren was cut off.

    Both sides don¡¯t know each other¡¯s situation and will definitely worry about each other.

    When the time comes and you interfere with it, it will greatly undermine the opponent's military morale.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT out?

    Sure enough, in just two days, the fleeing army had arrived at Cao Cao's camp.

    "What did you say?" The furious Cao Xiu picked up the deserter.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General, the enemy has captured Wushi and threatens to capture the Majesty alive soon!"

    The deserter tremblingly repeated what he heard from the other party.

    When Cao Cao and his generals heard this, their expressions immediately changed.

    Because they would never have thought that the other party had already occupied Wushi behind them.

    There are only two ways to get to Wushi.

    One is Yiju, the gloomy Jingshui River Valley that he occupies.

    The other one is naturally the Liupanshan Corridor in Long County and Yangcheng occupied by Cao Ren.

    Could it be that Zixiao was lost?

    This was Cao Cao¡¯s first reaction after hearing the news.

    After all, if there is absolutely no chance on our side, the enemy army will have no choice but to attack from Cao Ren's side.

    But if this is the case, the harm to Cao Cao's army will be very great.

    Because the other party has cut off our own retreat, it has also cut off the source of food and grass.

    The most important thing is that from Wushi County to Yiju and Yinpan, you only need to go down the river.

    By then, they will be able to form a pincer attack with Liu Ke¡¯s main force.

    Therefore, not only Cao Cao, but other soldiers also changed their faces after hearing the news.

    Cao Cao understood that this news must be blocked immediately, otherwise it would cause great damage to the morale of the army.

    He immediately ordered: "Zilian, how many deserters have come from Wushi today?"

    "Go back to the king, there are eight of them in total!" Cao Hong replied immediately.

    "Keep these eight people under strict guard, and arrange a team of people to guard the only way to imprison all the others!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
