Looking down from the height of the camp, you can see that all the accounts have turned white and look a little bloated. The patrol foot soldiers will soon be covered with snowflakes when they step out of their footprints.
Bretz rubbed his hands. He likes to walk in the camp in the morning. The creaking of the snow makes Bretz feel a little absent.
He thought of Xiangyang’s wife and children and wondered what they were doing at this time. I wonder if it snows in Xiangyang at this time? Is it as cold as here?
Maybe not? The cold snowflakes in the back channels of bretz’s heart beat his thin face, and the scar at the corner of his mouth became more conspicuous. He withdrew his thoughts and narrowed his eyes and looked at the soldiers coming and going.
If only from the appearance, the armor style of Jingzhou army is not good-looking, and the outside of the winter shirt is even more bloated and clumsy. However, the soldiers are not really clumsy because of this. They are full of energy, agile and even a little excited.
Since Zhang Liao came to attack Chen Liu, Liu Cong has been waiting for Cao Hong to divide his troops and Huiyuan. However, to his surprise, Cao Hong did not mobilize his troops to Huiyuan Chen Liu.
For Zhang Liao’s failure to attack Chen Liu at one stroke, Bretz also said that he was not disappointed. After all, it was good that he was surrounded by cavalry behind enemy lines and that Cao Jun had been prepared and did not suffer a fiasco because of it.
In fact, it is not Bretz who is eager for World War I, but Cao Hong who has been engaged for several days. Jun has not achieved any results, but has damaged some troops and made Cao Hong quite nai.
Cao Hongqi almost sent someone to arrest Liu, a captain, after learning that Zhang Liao led his troops to suddenly capture Yongqiu and that his own heavily ambushed troops still broke through.
Cao Hong’s current forces are difficult to break through the Jingzhou army camp, which Cao Hong does not deny, but Cao Chun does not. It seems that the Jingzhou army is very strong and should not be dealt with, but that is because butch riding has not yet entered the war.
However, Cao Chun, commander-in-chief of Cao Hongshen Army, dared not disobey military orders even if he was dissatisfied.
Now, after the snow, Cao Hong has ordered all ministries not to play without authorization, and can stick to the camp.
"So if you don’t return to Chen Liu," Cheng Yu seems to be getting older these days. After waiting for the generals to leave, he turned to Cao Hong and said, "It is not a long-term solution for our soldiers to stay in the wild after all."
Cao Hong frowned and said, "But the army of Bretz is still very passive if it does not retreat from our army."
"How practical is it for the general to confront Wei’s defense of Chen Liu?" Cheng Yu calmly analyzed. "If the leader returns to Chen Liu, the morale of our soldiers will always be much higher. We must be able to hold on until Tsao Kung destroys Liu Bei, and then the general’s burden can be temporarily released."
Cao Hong nodded thoughtfully after listening to this.
"However, it is best for our army to deceive Jingzhou Army when withdrawing troops." Cheng Yu said, "One may have a plan."
"oh? What plan? " Cao Hong smell speech immediately to the spirit asked him.
Stay freeze finish Cao Hong couldn’t help but nod a way "if you can outwit Jingzhou army is extremely beneficial for our army to defend Chen Liu!"
Having been contemplating it, Cao Hong ordered the ministries to be summoned to order them to act according to the order.
By noon, the snow had not stopped.
The watchtower at Yuanmen, the outermost camp of Cao Jun’s camp, is responsible for observing the enemy’s situation. Two foot soldiers were shivering with cold. A bearded man rubbed his cheek and said to his companion, "How did Jingzhou Army come in this weather today?"
"Come or not, we have to keep an eye on this side." Although the watchtower has a thatched roof, it has half a person with a high fender, and the cold wind can still fall into the snow with snowflakes.
Dahu put his arms around the spear and put his hands into the sleeve, sniffling his nose and saying, "I don’t know when it will last!" Do you want me to say that you can’t beat the attack and you can’t break the hardships? "
His companion was timid and said with a wry smile, "Stop talking!"
"It’s just talk. We’re not generals or a captain. Otherwise, we would have let our brothers go back to Chen Liu." Hu stamped his feet and said.
Companion stretched the neck probe and looked at it, huddled up against the guard. Some words were awkward. "You? I’m afraid you don’t have this life in your life! Still want to be a general and a captain? It will be good when you can be a team player! You can take care of me then! "
Dahu sneered, "I won’t take care of you even if you have no ambition."
I’m afraid there will be even more Cao Jun fleeing if I really want to endure this for a while.
In the past few days, some people in the Cao army have tried their best to escape from the camp because of the cold weather, some have been captured by Jingzhou army, some have fled to other places, and some unlucky guys have been caught back.
Most of these fugitives are not elites of Cao Jun, but local troops in nearby counties. Where have they suffered this kind of hardship and seen such a big battle? I’m afraid it would have been dispersed in a hubbub if there was no military pressure.
Some of the soldiers who escaped and were arrested were beheaded, and their bloody heads hung on the gates of each camp. It looked terrible and forgivable, but it still failed to scare those who wanted to escape
In the evening, the two almost frozen foot soldiers waited for the brothers to change their values, but when Dahu was preparing to watch the building, he suddenly shouted, "Why? We still have reinforcements coming? "
To replace their brother with a sad face and say, "yeah?" I heard that there are quite a few, and today I have come to ride more than 3 thousand steps! It is said that there will be many more these days. "
Hu staggered and almost didn’t fall from the watchtower. He didn’t care that the railing was full of snow. He grabbed it and asked the man, "Where did so many reinforcements come from?"
The arrival of reinforcements didn’t make them happy because they were so afraid that they would have to confront Jingzhou Army.
"I heard that it’s from Yecheng." The man climbed the watchtower and was shivered when the cold wind blew. "Is this face so cold?" Did you come over? "
Hu grinned hard, but it was uglier than crying. He raised his arm and wiped his nose and said, "How can you endure it?"? Do it! You can light a fire at night, but it’s much better than ours. "For most of the soldiers of Jun, they don’t know that this is Cheng Yu’s doubtful plan. They know that this bitter day will continue …
☆, Chapter two hundred Waiting for the enemy for a long time?
The news that jun sent reinforcements from yecheng soon reached bretz.
"Has Liu Bei been defeated?" After knowing this, Liu Cong couldn’t help wondering to Jia Xu that he didn’t receive the news of Liu Bei’s defeat from the special guard camp, but if not, how could Cao Cao suddenly send more troops to the south?
Because he didn’t have much information, it was difficult for Jia Xu to make sure that he smoothed his beard and said, "Even if Cao Cao keeps sending more troops here, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Liu Bei has been attacked or that Cao Cao has agreed to attack Liu Bei with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan brothers. There is another possibility that Cao Jun is suspicious!"
Bretz thought for a moment narrowed his eyes and said to Jia Xu, "So I think the latter is the most likely."
However, this was only speculation by Jia Xu and Liu Cong. It was not until Jingzhou army scouts detected that Jun had sneaked out of the camp and then returned to the camp with great fanfare that Liu Cong was convinced that this was indeed Jun’s doubtful plan.
"It’s empty to be afraid of others," bretz sneered.
Jia Xu also said, "This must be that Cao Hong wants to withdraw his troops and return, but he doesn’t want our army to stay in Chen. Therefore, if it is not bad as expected, Cao Jun will keep the camp to confuse our army."
"If so, maybe our army broke the enemy plane," said Liu Cong, touching Ba stubble.
Next to Fazheng, he thought for a moment and said, "Does the general mean to raid the enemy camp while Cao Hong is withdrawing troops?"
Bretz nods, "Exactly."
"If it’s not enough to raid the Jun camp," Jia Xu smoothed her beard and said softly, but her triangular eyes were flashing with sharp cold light.
Jun withdrew soon, and by the evening of the third day, there were already people sneaking out of the camp.
Looking at the vast snowfield, Cao Hong, looking at the watchtower in front of Daying Yuanmen, asked the captain next to him, "Is there any movement of Jingzhou Army?"
"This afternoon, a cavalry left the camp and seemed to be escorting the grain convoy back." The captain replied that it was hard for him to persuade the scouts these days and Jingzhou army scouts suffered many casualties several times.
Cao Hong nodded and said, "Although Jingzhou Army has not attacked in the past two days, we must not relax our vigilance, especially when our army will withdraw from the camp."
Jun, who left the camp tonight, was Cao Hong who told the old, the weak and the sick to return to Chen first, which slowed down the army’s return.
Jun camp is less than a hundred miles away from Chen Liushi. If the cavalry is talking for half a day, they can get to the army. The marching speed of the soldiers and the trench can’t be compared with that of the cavalry.
It snowed for two days before it stopped. It is conceivable that this road is not easy to walk, and I am afraid that it will increase when necessary.
But Cao Hong doesn’t regret it. Even if he fails to win, it’s better than sticking to Chen Liu. After all, he can retreat to Chen Liu from here. If Chen Liu is attacked by Jingzhou Army, where else can he go? Can you escape to Yecheng in despair?
Shortly after returning from the front camp to the middle camp, Cao Hong got a report from the scouts that Jingzhou army seemed to have signs of attacking the camp at night. It was also very accidental that the scouts could spy on this situation
Before he took several brothers, he was going around to the rear of Jingzhou army camp, but he didn’t expect to go too far and get lost.
When he finally found the Jingzhou army camp, he was surprised to catch a Jingzhou army fugitive. In fact, this fugitive was captured by Ma Wan’s troops when Cao Jun was Xu Du, and he became a Ma Wan’s cavalry. He secretly escaped from the camp because he was homesick, but was captured by this scout.
In order to live, the prisoner confessed that one of the things he knew was that the Jingzhou army might rob the camp tonight, and according to him, the Zhongjun cavalry left the camp after noon and left a few people in the camp. It was this opportunity that he escaped from the Jingzhou army camp.
