"Reporting to Your Highness! The enemy camp is right ahead." Sun Shou flashed over from the side and pointed at the Cao camp not far away.
Liu Chong had already seen the lights there. The commander of Cao Cao's army was obviously a person who knew how to fight. He was not an idiot. Although it was only a grain transport team, the camp was still set up according to the requirements of the art of war. He set up the camp on a relatively high slope. There was a small stream flowing through the slope, which was beneficial for getting water. It was very in line with the requirements of the art of war. It had a relatively wide field of vision and terrain, and it was close to the water source. It would not be besieged and lack water.
However, this was only a troop responsible for transporting food, and it was a convoy on the way back, so the security was not very strict. Other than surrounding the grain carts in a circular formation as a fence, there were only some sentries at the camp gate. There were only a few soldiers patrolling in the camp, and there were no hidden sentries outside the fence. This allowed Liu Chong and the others to easily get close to the camp.
Originally, Liu Chong was still worried about how to get close to this camp without being discovered. He did not expect the enemy to be so careless. Otherwise, it would not be easy for so many people to get close to this camp on this plain.
The commander of the grain transport team was Xiahou Liang, a member of the Xiahou family. He was also related to Cao Cao's Xiahou brothers. Since he had followed Cao Cao to raise his army in Chenliu, he had made some contributions. Therefore, in just a few years, he had been promoted from a small soldier to a commander of a thousand soldiers. He was only one step away from being promoted to a lieutenant. This time, he had specially asked for the task of transporting grain. This was clearly a lucrative job in everyone's eyes. No one believed that the Chen army would come out to attack their grain team. If it wasn't for that layer of relationship, this mission wouldn't have come to him.
After settling down and setting up camp as usual, Xia Houliang, who had been marching for a day, was also a little tired. However, for some reason, his mind was a little restless today, as if something was about to happen. This made him toss and turn, unable to sleep.
There were about ten guards at the entrance of the camp. They were divided into two rows, one on the left and one on the right. There were also lookout posts set up at the entrance of the camp. There were a few pine torches on the high sentry posts. The flames were burning and crackling from time to time. This was the sound made when pine oil was burned. There were also two people in the lookout post. One was in charge of the lookout, and the other was on guard. If the person on the lookout discovered the enemy, he could ring the alarm gong in time to wake up his sleeping companions from their dreams.
There was a lookout post set up on each side of the camp. They could coordinate with each other from afar and discover enemies coming from all directions at the same time.
Liu Chong personally led his men to observe the entire Cao Cao camp. He was already prepared for the upcoming night attack. Although the strength of the two sides was similar, the enemy soldiers could not be compared to the special forces that he had trained. Their combat strength could not be mentioned in the same breath. The key was how to wipe out the enemy and not let them escape. Whether they ran to the Cao camp or Yangxia City, it would affect his next plan. After intense thinking, a mature battle plan took shape in his mind. Liu Chong decided to maximize the firepower advantage and use the long-range and concentrated firepower of the crossbow to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
A troop of more than 800 people quietly lined up in the dark, waiting for Liu Chong's order to attack. Although they had gone through a long march, after a simple rest and replenishment of food, the soldiers became lively again. However, they were still a little nervous for the first time on the battlefield. After all, real killing was different from training. The atmosphere was tense and somber.
Liu Chong was also a little nervous, but he knew that he couldn't show it. He needed to do something to relax everyone."Brothers, do you still remember the special training before we came? Our enemies are right in front of us. Only by charging forward and advancing with an indomitable will can we achieve victory and drive them out. What you have to do now is to treat them as a pool of blood in front of us, charge in, and keep shooting! It's that simple!"
Hearing his words, many people couldn't help but recall the special training base in Snail Castle. After such cruel training, weren't they all waiting for this day on the battlefield? Now that the day had arrived, all they could do was advance, shoot, and advance! Until there were no more enemies to resist! It was that simple.
The effect of the simple lecture was quite good. Seeing that everyone was relaxed, it was very beneficial for the upcoming battle.
"Zhenda!" Liu Chong shouted in a low voice.
"Yes!"
"I order you to lead Zhongwei Village and set up an ambush on the main road between here and Yangxia. Don't let anyone escape! If the enemy comes from Yangxia, you will be responsible for stopping them until my new order is issued. Do you understand?”
"Understood!" After saying that, Zhenda led the 200 soldiers of Zhongwei Village and turned around to leave. Soon, they disappeared. His task was not easy. He had to withstand the enemy's desperate breakthrough and the possible pincer attack of reinforcements. However, Liu Chong trusted Zhenda very much and believed that he could complete this task cleanly.
"Yu Jian!" Liu Chong called out the name of the Left Guard Village Chief, Yu Jian. He was a clansman of First Lieutenant Yu Ping and hated the Cao Army to the bone. When he heard Liu Chong call his name, he immediately stood out from the ranks.
"Yes!"
"Zhao Tie!" Liu Chong also called out the right guard Tun Chang.
"Yes!"
"I order the two of you to each lead a team to guard the east and west sides. Kill all the enemies who escape in those two directions and bluff them to escape in the north and south direction.”
"Understood!" Although the two of them were a little disappointed that they did not get the main attack mission, the duty of a soldier was to obey. This was what Liu Chong often said. As officers, they naturally would not forget it. After answering, the soldiers left in the east and west.
"Sun Shou!"
"Yes!"
"I order you to be the reserve team of the entire army, closely monitor the situation on the battlefield, and provide reinforcements at any time.”Granting him the power to decide where to send reinforcements and where to send the last fifty people, Sun Shou could do so according to the situation on the battlefield.
"Understood!"
"Let's go!" Liu Chong led the remaining 500 men and rushed towards the Cao Army camp. A bloody battle was about to break out!
