Chapter 113 Cao Ren Captured
Cao Ren was also vaguely worried, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he said: "The opponent has been victorious for a while, and they will definitely neglect their precautions at night. I will go to rob the stronghold tonight. If I win, I will make a plan. If not, I will retreat." Go back to Fancheng."
Li Dian quickly stopped him and said, "No! There must be people in the opposing army who are knowledgeable in the art of war. How can we not be prepared? Now we still have nearly [-] troops. If we return to defend Fancheng, we will have enough troops. But if we lose another battle, The consequences are unpredictable!”
Cao Ren's temper flared up again, and he said unhappily: "Worrying about this, worrying about that, doubting this, doubting that, how can you use your troops? If you didn't dare to take any risks, how could you defeat Yuan Shao?"
Therefore, Cao Ren once again ignored Li Dian's objection, and ordered that at the second watch, he personally lead his troops to attack Zhangwu Dazhai, and ordered Li Dian to respond later.
Xu Shu had expected that Cao Ren would come to rob the camp, and Zhang Wu had already made arrangements.
At the second watch, Cao Ren personally led 5000 horses and horses to attack Zhang Wu's camp under the moonlight without making any noise or lighting torches.Later, Li Dian led [-] soldiers and horses to follow him. If the attack on the camp went well, he would take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle.
Cao Ren led his troops to the vicinity of Zhang Wu's camp, and found that everything was normal. The camp was quiet, except for those who stood guard, the rest seemed to be asleep.Cao Ren shouted in his heart, God is helping me, this time I will let you know how good I am, Cao Ren!
"Kill!" Cao Ren drew out his sword, pointed in the direction of Zhang Wu's camp, and shouted loudly.
"Kill!" Cao Jun's soldiers, led by the general, yelled and rushed towards the opposing camp.
The soldiers on duty at the gate of Zhang Wu's camp saw a sneak attack, shouted "someone attacked the camp", and fled in all directions.
After rushing forward for a while, Cao Ren felt that something was wrong. Apart from the person who was standing guard just now, why was there no one else?At this time, someone came to report that several tents near the gate of the camp were empty, and there was no trace of the enemy.
Only then did Cao Ren realize that he had been fooled. The other party knew about it a long time ago, and set up a trap for him to come!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Cao Ren shouted loudly.
At this moment, piles of firewood were suddenly lit around the camp, making the night as bright as day, and groups of soldiers rushed from all directions, shouting loudly, "Catch Cao Ren alive! Capture Cao Ren alive!"
Zhang Wu and Huang Zhong each led their troops to conceal the attack, Cao Ren did not dare to resist, and hurriedly retreated, Li Dian stepped forward to respond, but the rout of the front line disrupted the formation.
Li Dian hurriedly protected Cao Ren and retreated, ignoring the fact that his soldiers scattered and fled. When he rushed back to the camp and shouted for the door, suddenly countless arrows were shot from inside, and a banner with the word "Fu" was erected in the camp.It turned out that Zhang Wu had already sent Fu Xun to take the opportunity to seize Cao Ren's great village. When Zhang Wu and Huang Zhong came after him, Fu Xun also opened the gate of the village and attacked back and forth.
Cao Ren did not dare to fight, so he fled to the north, intending to cross the river and return to Fancheng.As soon as the remnants of the defeated general came to the river, they began to look for boats to cross the river, when another big army came to the bank, and the leading general was Wei Yan.
Li Dian led his troops to resist, and fought with Wei Yan.At this time, Wei Yan's strength has reached the level of a first-class military general, and he is waiting for work at leisure; while Li Dian is not known for his martial arts, and he fought and fled most of the night.After fighting for a few rounds, Li Dian found that he was not the opponent of this young general. He couldn't help being a little surprised. Why did Zhang Wu have so many capable people under Zhang Wu's command? The young general who came out is also so powerful!
Seeing that Li Dian couldn't resist, Cao Ren had no choice but to fight to the death himself.Cao Ren's military strength is stronger than Li Dian's, and Cao Ren has reached the level of a first-class military general at his peak, but at this moment, he is in no mood to fight again, Zhang Wu and Huang Zhong are chasing after him.That old general can't beat him by himself, and that Zhang Wu is also stronger than him, it's really strange, how come there are so many masters suddenly appearing in this world!
Li Dian led the army to protect Cao Ren and got on a boat to cross the river. The other soldiers had no boats, so they had to jump into the river in desperation, and most of them were drowned.
When Cao Ren crossed the river, less than [-] soldiers followed him, and the rest were either killed, captured, or fled.At this time, Cao Ren and Li Dian couldn't care less about gathering routs, so they had better flee back to Fancheng.
Zhang Wu had already made arrangements. Knowing that Cao Ren could not run away, he was not in a hurry to chase him. First, he ordered people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, and then sent teams of soldiers to search for Cao Ren who was fleeing and hiding.
After the arrangements were made, Zhang Wu, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan led [-] troops to pursue Cao Ren, while Xu Shu and Fu Xun left to deal with the aftermath.
After Cao Ren and Li Dian crossed the river, they fled back to Fancheng in a hurry, which made people scream.
The city gate creaked open. Cao Ren quickly waved his horsewhip and ran towards the city. Cao Jun, who had fled all the way, also ran towards the city, wanting to return to the city and have a good rest.
Li Dian was originally in the rear army to supervise the formation, first to prevent the soldiers from escaping, and second to prepare to stop the pursuers, seeing that he finally fled back to Fancheng, he couldn't help feeling a little relieved.When Cao Ren took the lead and ran towards the city gate, Li Dian suddenly felt a little uneasy, and also had an indescribable strange feeling.
When Cao Ren had brought hundreds of soldiers into the city, Li Dian suddenly thought of something, and he shouted loudly: "General Cao, come back quickly! There is danger in the city!"
But it was too late, suddenly a large number of Jingzhou soldiers poured out from the houses on both sides of the city gate, not only surrounded the Cao army entering the city, but also quickly closed the city gate.Immediately afterwards, two large flags were erected on the city wall, with the word "Gan" written on one side and the word "Wen" written on the other.It was Gan Ning and Wenpin who took advantage of the emptiness of Fancheng to sneak attack Fancheng, and then blocked the news, waiting for Cao Ren to enter the pit.
Li Dian was filled with hatred, but he had nothing to do. The two flags represented the two generals of Jingzhou who attacked Fancheng, Gan Ning and Wenpin.But now I have less than [-] soldiers, how can I take down Fancheng and rescue Cao Ren again!
Sure enough, after Cao Ren was surrounded, he knew something was wrong. This time, he was careless and fell into a dead end. He didn't even have a place to run, so he had to go all out!
Seeing a general on the opposite side holding a long knife, he laughed loudly and said, "Cao Ren, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Who are you?" Cao Ren asked, holding a spear.
"I am Gan Xingba, Cao Ren, you should surrender, otherwise these hundreds of people will die!"
Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, how could he surrender to others, so he raised his gun to fight Gan Ning, anyway, he is doomed today, if he can take one away, it counts as one.
Gan Ning saw that Cao Ren did not give up, so he swung his sword and fought Cao Ren.Cao Ren really wanted to fight for his life. Although he couldn't beat Gan Ning, he could last for dozens of rounds. But this time he escaped all the way, tired and hungry, and couldn't even display half of his strength.After more than a dozen rounds, Cao Ren was so tired that he could hardly even hold his gun. Gan Ning hit him with a knife on the back, vomited blood and fell off his horse, and was tied up by Jingzhou soldiers who surrounded him.
