Chapter 1006 Cao Xiu’s Surprise Attack

At the southern end of Chao Lake, a large fleet carrying more than 30,000 people took advantage of the fog to sail quietly through the lake.

"I didn't expect it to be foggy today. God is really helping our army!" Cao Xiu said with emotion.

After making the decision, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu immediately led the land and sea armies to evacuate Chaisang. They did not leave any garrison in Jiangdong. Instead, they withdrew all the troops and horses to Chao Lake. The water vapor in Chao Lake was evaporating, so the fog was particularly thick, causing Cao Xiu's navy to retreat. It seems to be invisible.

"Order all the soldiers not to make any noise or disturb the enemy. Anyone who disturbs the enemy will be killed without mercy!" Cao Xiu issued a strict order, and then hundreds of naval warships moved forward silently. Apart from the sound of water, there was almost no sound of human beings.

In this way, Cao Jun's naval warship sailed silently towards the north of Chaohu Lake. It seemed that he could already see the land and the city of Hefei standing on the earth.

The closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood became. Cao's generals all frowned. Just from the smell of blood, they could tell how brutal the attacks and defenses had been in the past few days.

"Yuan Rang has worked hard. The next step is up to us."

Cao Ren ordered to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, you lead the navy to stay on the ship, and I will personally lead the army to raid Liu Bei's camp."

"No, it's better for my uncle to stay on the ship and my nephew to lead the troops to raid Liu Bei's camp." Cao Xiu retorted.

"Well, Liu Bei has been in the army for many years, and his younger brothers Guan and Zhang are both famous generals. Even I dare not say that he will succeed." Cao Ren waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can stay on the ship. If you see that our army is in trouble, Let’s fight again.”

"Okay, uncle, be careful."

Cao Ren nodded and drew his sword out of its sheath: "The warship has docked, and the whole army has come ashore, ready to fight!"

Hundreds of warships docked one by one, and the ladders were lowered. Thousands of Cao's troops stepped down from the ladders one by one, and when they came to the shore, they could only hear the scraping of armor leaves and the clash of weapons, and almost no human voice.

"Um"

In the Yuzhou military camp, a soldier felt uncomfortable with holding back, so he rushed out of the camp, unfastened his belt and prepared to relieve himself. After unbuckling his trousers, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head, preparing to eject the liquid that had been accumulated all night.

But the moment he raised his head, the soldier was stunned.

"Why so many battleships?"

Although the fog enveloped the surrounding area from Chao Lake, it had already reached the shore after all. In the eyes of this Yuzhou Army soldier, he could only see countless warships approaching each other indistinctly and with great momentum.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

He didn't care about peeing anymore, he loosened his belt and shouted, with a frightened look on his face, he turned around and ran away.

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly shot out from the mist, accurately hitting his neck and penetrating the trachea. The soldier could only whimper and could no longer shout.

"Well"

"kill!"

In the silent mist, the sky-shattering shouts of killing suddenly rose loudly, and countless blurry figures rushed out of the mist, none other than more than 20,000 Cao Jun.

"Kill, charge into the enemy camp and kill Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, there will be heavy rewards!"

Cao Ren personally led the charge, followed by Niu Jin, Cao Tai and other generals, and launched a fierce attack on the Yuzhou military camp.

"what sound?"

"No, it seems like an enemy attack!"

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, send out troops for a sneak attack!"

Hearing Cao Jun's thundering shouts of killing, the Yuzhou army woke up from their sleep. They hurriedly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and prepared to go out to fight.

At this time, Cao Jun, who launched the surprise attack, had already rushed into the Yuzhou military camp.

Cao Jun, who was fully clothed and holding a long sword, jumped into the Yuzhou military camp, stood up and stabbed. A Yuzhou soldier next to him suddenly screamed, and his lower abdomen was pierced by Cao soldiers. The soldier had just stood up. He didn't even put on his armor and was naked. Naturally, he was stabbed to death by Cao Bing.

"Come on, hurry up!"

The surrounding Yuzhou soldiers were naturally furious, and they gathered together to attack Cao's soldiers. None of them were wearing clothes or armor, or their clothes were disheveled. After all, the time was too short, so they had to pick up their weapons and fight with Cao's soldiers. Whether you wear armor or not, there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness. When talking about military strength in ancient times, "armored soldiers" were used as the standard. Without armor, they are just militiamen. After wearing armor and being trained, they are truly elite soldiers.

At this time, more and more Cao soldiers poured into the camp and started fighting with the Yuzhou soldiers.

"kill!"

"Well"

Cao's army had been prepared for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly launched a surprise attack. Naturally, the Yuzhou army was caught off guard and suffered many casualties from the enemy. However, the Yuzhou Army in the front row resisted Cao's army and fought for a while, finally allowing Liu Bei to react.

"Brother!"

Zhang Fei broke into the camp wearing heavy armor and holding a snake spear eight feet tall, and shouted to Liu Bei: "Brother, have you put on your armor? Come out quickly, I will protect you."

"I have approved the armor, let's go out right now." Liu Bei, fully clothed, asked Zhang Fei, "Where is Yun Chang?"

"Second brother is commanding and dispatching troops and horses to fight against Cao's army." Zhang Fei said puzzledly: "But where did these Cao's troops come from? With so many Cao's troops, it is definitely not possible for Xiahou Dun to come out of the city for a sneak attack."

"It's hard to say. Maybe Cao's army from Jiangdong is heading north. The most important thing right now is to hold down the position and hold it steady!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Zhang Fei escorted Liu Bei and rushed out. Liu Bei sent an order: "The whole army is coming closer to me, quickly!"

Detective sentries ran around to deliver orders. After hearing the order, the Yuzhou army, each of which was fighting in its own way, gathered towards Liu Bei.

And Cao Ren shouted: "The whole army attacks, capture and kill Liu Bei, quickly!" Cao Jun and Yuzhou Army both went in the same direction. Yuzhou Army wanted to gather around Liu Bei, while Cao Jun planned to kill Liu Bei. !

"Don't panic!"

In the Yuzhou army, there is a fierce general with a red face and a long beard, holding a green dragon sword, like a god. When the surrounding Yuzhou troops saw Guan Yu, they immediately seemed to have a backbone and gathered around Guan Yu.

"Kneel down!"

Guan Yu personally went out and captured a Sima of Cao's army. He shouted loudly and asked: "Which part of Cao's army are you? Tell me quickly, or I will kill you if you don't tell me!"

The army commander shook his head hurriedly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I said, I am under the command of General Cao Ren."

"Cao Ren? Isn't he in Jiangxia? Why did he come here?" Guan Yu frowned.

"Zhang Jaw and Gao Chong led their troops to besiege Jiangxia. General Cao Xiu led his troops to support General Cao Ren's breakout. The two generals discussed going north to attack the Yuzhou Army and recover Huainan." Army Sima told them all, fearing that Guan Yu would kill him with a single blow.

"Humph, that's it, get out of here!" Guan Yu was arrogant and kept his word, but Cao Junjun Sima was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him and turned away.
