Chapter 740 Disguise Scheme
Outside Wu County, a Cao army camp rose from the ground, with a flag with two characters of Xiahou erected.
"Uncle, the Jiangdong Army in this city does not dare to fight. What should our army do?" Xia Houshang asked Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
"Bo Ren, didn't our army capture many Jiangdong soldiers' armor in the past few days?"
Xia Houshang raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, do you mean to fake the opening of Wu County just like the fake opening of Lou County?"
"No."
Xia Houyuan shook his head: "The last time our army was able to deceive Lou County, it was because Zhu Zhi was in charge. Now that Wu County is heavily defended, it will be difficult to deceive Wu County."
Xia Houshang was a little confused and asked, "What does uncle mean?"
Xia Houyuan smiled slightly: "You take a few hundred people, put on Jiangdong army uniforms and armor, don't wash them, and then someone will bring more than a thousand soldiers and horses to chase you."
Xia Houshang suddenly realized: "What uncle means is to lure the enemy troops in the city to rescue me, and then encircle and annihilate them?"
Xia Houyuan nodded, and Xia Houshang walked out excitedly.
"kill!"
"Don't let these Jiangdong soldiers go!"
Only a few miles outside Wu County, a Cao army was chasing hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers. The two sides directly showed a one-sided situation. Cao Jun came menacingly, chasing Jiangdong soldiers and killing them, while Jiangdong soldiers They were running around in confusion, fighting and retreating, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground.
The leader of Cao's army turned out to be Xia Houyuan. He personally pursued and killed Jiangdong soldiers with a long sword, and the Jiangdong soldiers "bleeded like rivers."
"Run quickly, Wu County is ahead!"
Jiang Dongbing, who was on top of the south gate of Wu County, was horrified when he saw this scene. He didn't know whether the door could be opened for a while, so he had to go to report to the guard of the south gate.
"Captain Ling, do you want to open the city gate to meet our brothers?"
The gate lord asked Ling Cao, the guard of the south gate, for instructions.
Ling Cao has a hot temper, but this is the moment of Jiangdong's survival, so he doesn't dare to be careless.
Looking at the Jiangdong soldiers who were being chased by Cao Jun in the distance, Ling Cao's tightly clenched fists trembled slightly, but finally lowered them gently.
"We can't save it. If the city gate is opened and Cao Jun is let in, Wu County will be in danger."
Ling Cao stared at Jiangdong's army who was being chased by Cao's army outside the city with a complicated expression, and sighed.
After hearing Ling Cao's words, although the Jiang Dong soldiers around them could understand, they were all secretly hurt. How could they just watch their comrades being killed?
And wouldn't it be true if he was a member of Jiangdong's army who was being hunted?
"Father, why do you say this!"
A young general who was less than twenty years old with red lips and white teeth jumped out and shouted: "Since you have joined our Jiangdong Army, you are all Paoze brothers! Now that our brothers are in trouble, how can we not save them even if they die?"
"Cao's army outside the city only has more than a thousand men. If our army goes out to rescue the city, we may not be able to save our comrades. If the father is not willing to go, then let me go!"
The speaker was Ling Cao's son Ling Tong, who had the same temper as his father.
Ling Cao said angrily: "Concubine, what do you know? How could you ruin the important affairs of our Jiangdong Army for the sake of the lives of a few people?"
Ling Tong snorted and ignored his father. Instead, he turned around and said loudly: "A certain Ling Tong wants to go out of the city to rescue my Jiangdong Army brothers. If you have the courage, come with me!"
The Jiangdong soldiers in the city naturally did not want to see their comrades being killed. Besides, there were not many Cao soldiers outside the city, so they naturally had no worries.
"Willing to follow Ling Sima!"
"That's it, fight out and rescue the brothers!"
Countless Jiangdong troops raised their arms and shouted loudly, willing to follow Ling Tong.
Ling Tong said with satisfaction: "Okay, come with me if you have the courage!"
"Open the city gate!"
"promise!"
Jiang Dongbing at the city gate also admired Ling Tong's courage, so he pulled up the thousand-jin gate without hesitation, and the city gate slowly opened.
Without saying a word, Ling Tong raised his arms and shouted, and more than 500 Jiangdong soldiers also followed behind him and fought out of the city gate.
"Public achievements! Ling Tong! You bastard!"
Ling Cao was furious and slapped the city head. He glared angrily at Ling Tong who rushed out and cursed several times.
"This little brat"
Ling Cao cursed several times in his heart, but he didn't say much. After all, it was hard for him to interfere. It would be better for his son to do this. After all, it could save the morale of Jiangdong Army.
"kill!"
Ling Tong led more than 500 Jiangdong soldiers and killed them in one go.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, I, Ling Tong, am here to save you!"
Ling Tong shouted loudly and led more than 500 Jiangdong soldiers to kill them. The "Jiangdong Army" who was chased by Cao Jun was overjoyed.
"Brothers, reinforcements are coming!"
"Very good!"
The Jiangdong soldiers seemed to have high morale and rushed towards the Jiangdong soldiers led by Ling Tong. The two Jiangdong troops kept getting closer, but then a ferocious look appeared on the face of one Jiangdong army.
Ling Tong, whose morale was high, also felt something was wrong: Why were the faces of the Jiangdong Army on the opposite side so unfamiliar? I didn’t recognize anyone or talk to anyone, and the atmosphere felt like something was wrong.
Moreover, logically speaking, this group of Jiangdong soldiers should be divided into left and right groups when reinforcements arrive, so as not to break up the formation of reinforcements. However, instead of avoiding this group of Jiangdong soldiers, they pounced straight towards the front, which inevitably broke up the formation.
"Jiangdong Army" suddenly showed its fangs, and Xia Houshang suddenly shouted loudly.
"The enemy has fallen into a trap, kill!"
"kill!"
Before Ling Tong and the Jiangdong soldiers under his command could react, the Jiangdong soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed forward and rushed directly into their formation.
A "Jiangdong soldier" wearing dark red armor smiled ferociously, raised his ring-shou sword without hesitation, slashed forward fiercely, and struck the opposite Jiangdong soldier with one blow. The knife cut very deep, and the wound was so deep that the bones were visible. Jiang Dongbing fell straight to the ground with a stunned expression on his face.
Jiang Dongbing was stunned for a moment, and their brains couldn't react at all.
Aren't you here to rescue your comrades? Why did my comrade raise the butcher knife instead?
The forward of the Jiangdong Army who was caught off guard was immediately frustrated, and dozens of people were killed on the spot by the disguised Cao Army on the opposite side. These Jiangdong soldiers who were originally being chased suddenly turned into the vanguard of Cao's army and charged into Jiangdong's formation in one go, causing Jiangdong's army to suffer heavy casualties.
"hateful!"
Ling Tong was furious when he saw dozens of Jiangdong troops being cut down without saying a word.
Firstly, the angry soldiers were killed and wounded, and secondly, they were angry at being deceived!
It turns out that these Cao soldiers are lying to themselves, which is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
"Die to me!"
Ling Tong took action with anger and slashed out with his sword. The Cao soldiers on the opposite side saw that Ling Tong was young and did not take him seriously. They even wanted to rush forward to take advantage, but they did not expect that the force of this sword was so strong. Strong!
