Cao Ang stood there in a daze for a while, then quickly jumped up from the bed. His face was pale, and he couldn't help but feel shocked. His heart was in a mess. "How is that possible?" At this moment, he was like a frightened bird." I've already informed Xiahou Dun to make full preparations? Why are they still here?" The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent, mixed with the hustle and bustle. Coupled with the heart-wrenching wails and chaotic sounds of battle in the distance, it made people feel inexplicably cold.
Just as Cao Ang was puzzled, one of Xiahou Dun's subordinates strode into the tent and said anxiously,""Eldest Young Master, the enemy troops are about to charge in. Eldest Young Master should retreat quickly!”His voice clearly contained anxiety and uneasiness, which showed that the situation was not good.
Cao Ang took a deep breath and pinched his thighs tightly. This was the action he used to remind himself every time he panicked and hesitated in his previous life. He told himself not to panic and to wait calmly. A moment later, Cao Ang regained his composure and asked the deputy general in the tent,""How many people did the enemy send? Could it be that our main force has already been defeated?”
For the first time, the deputy general was surprised. He didn't expect that in this critical moment, the Cao Family's Young Master didn't show any signs of cowardice, weakness, and incompetence. On the contrary, he appeared quite calm. Although he was not calm, he did not panic. It seemed that a tiger father would not have a dog son. The son of Cao Sikong was somewhat brave!
However, the Deputy General couldn't think too much at the moment. The war was imminent. The deputy general bowed to Cao Ang and said,""Replying to Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid that this army is a part of Zhang Xiu's army that came to attack my Zuotun Camp. Zuo Tun's camp is connected to the Huai River in the east and General Jin's bow and crossbow camp in the west. It is also considered a top priority. I think General Xiahou was worried about the safety of the Lord when he sent troops and did not consider it carefully. Now that the camp was in danger, Eldest Young Master should quickly change his position!”
When Cao Ang heard this, his heart finally relaxed. So that was the case. It seemed that Cao Cao's army had not been defeated. It was just that attacking Xiahou Dun's camp was a move that Zhang Xiu had planned from the beginning. However, looking at the situation, the number of soldiers left in this camp was much less than the enemy. What should he do?
This was the first obstacle Chen Qi faced after possessing Cao Ang. Subconsciously, he really wanted to abandon the camp and escape as the deputy general had said. After all, even the heavens and earth were not as important as his own life. But for some reason, perhaps it was the remnant of Cao Ang's subconscious that he possessed? Or perhaps it was because he wanted to retain some of his dignity as a man. He wanted to stay and try.
A mere thought was extremely important! If Cao Ang escaped now, perhaps he would forever be an ordinary man who was reborn from the post-modern era. However, if he was willing to stay behind and face the enemy, then this would be the first big step he would take to integrate into this chaotic world after obtaining a new life.
Under the dim light, Cao Ang's face was unusually pale. In a short while, his expression was sometimes frowning, sometimes biting his lips, sometimes depressed. It could be said that his expression was changing rapidly. In the end, Cao Ang, who had been reborn, took a deep breath. His eyes emitted a bit of calmness and determination because he had made the first decision that would determine the direction of his life in the future." General, come with me to take a look.”
Chen Qi did not know how to do anything, but everyone had their own strengths. Chen Qi also had a strong point that others could not compare to. One of them was that he had loved reading since he was young. He knew a thing or two about the wars in the history of China and the world. He was also quite knowledgeable about some complicated and messy knowledge. He could be considered to be well-versed in everything.
Outside the tent, the horses were howling and the wind was howling. The torches illuminated the cold night sky. Thousands of elongated overlapping figures were fighting back and forth. This troop was specially sent by Zhang Xiu to block Xiahou Dun's army. Who knew that the defense of the West Tun was weak? The general who led the army changed his mind at the last minute and changed from blocking to attacking. He raised his army to take down the place in one fell swoop.
Under the protection of the deputy general and the elite guards left behind by Xiahou Dun, Cao Ang rushed straight into the tent. From afar, he could see countless battle groups fighting fiercely in the camp. Swords and spears roared, and the sharp killing intent of the two sides shook the sky.
"Eldest Young Master, we can't stay here for long. Eldest Young Master, you should quickly retreat!”Yang Yuan's legs trembled when he saw the two sides fighting each other. Cao Ang tried his best to calm down and suppress the panic in his heart. He tried his best to maintain his composure and asked the deputy generals,"General, who is the commander of the camp closest to our army? Can you come and receive me in time?"
The deputy general thought for a moment and replied," Reporting to the Eldest Young Master, the southwest of our army is General Yu Jin's camp. However, the battle has just begun. Even if General Yu Jin goes out to fight, he will definitely put the lord first. How can he care about the battle here? I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for General Yu Jin to come and receive me…"
"No! Yu Jin will definitely come!" Hearing this, everyone was stunned. This was the first time Cao Ang had been so confident since he entered the stronghold. They were all doubtful. In fact, Cao Ang was only guessing how he knew Yu Jin would come. Xitun was an important place connecting the Jianghuai River and the Yangtze River. Cao Ang believed that Yu Jin would not sit idly by. At the very least, according to what he knew when he was studying in his later life, Yu Jin was Cao Cao's helper in the Battle of Wancheng! He did not panic in the face of danger, ignoring the rumors that were not beneficial to him. He set up a stronghold on the spot to resist Zhang Xiu's army and force back Zhang Xiu's rebel army. Especially now that Cao Cao's side should have turned the corner under Xiahou Dun's manipulation. With Yu Jin's strategic vision, Cao Ang felt that he would not sit idly by and watch the Xitun Camp Rock be lost.
But could he really believe everything written in books? Cao Ang didn't know what to do, but he couldn't just abandon these soldiers. It wasn't that he was kind, but just because they called him Young Master, he couldn't just leave like that.
Thinking of the famous battles in the history of the world, Cao Ang vaguely remembered that if he were to fight against the strong with the weak, he had to raise the morale of the army to fight! Then what should he do? After thinking for a moment, Cao Ang had a vague idea in his mind. Since things had come to this, he would take a gamble! He persisted until Yu Jin came to his rescue!
Cao Ang quietly calmed his panicked heart, then put on a confident face. He pushed aside the protection of the guards around him and walked forward. He shouted at the soldiers fighting in front of him with all his might,"Children!"
The soldiers of Qingzhou who were fighting in front suddenly heard a shout from behind them. Some of the soldiers of Qingzhou who could free themselves turned around curiously. It was a young man in his twenties with a pale face. Some of those who knew Cao Ang couldn't help but ask in surprise,""Eldest Young Master!"
Cao Ang raised his hands and used all his strength to shout at the soldiers in front of him,"Children! Don't panic, our army has already seen through the enemy's trick. The reinforcements will arrive soon. This Young Master will fight with you here! We will gamble our Cao family's honor to defeat the enemy here! Even if he would be crushed into pieces, he would turn the last remaining bone into an iron wall! We can't let these trash insult the honor of our Great Han Army!”
After saying that, Cao Ang pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and shouted,"I, Cao Ang, will go through life and death with you today. I will not retreat by even half a step! Children, don't be afraid! Even if we die, we must die in a worthy way! His death was heavier than Mount Tai!"
The field suddenly became quiet, even the whistling of the winter wind could be heard. After a while, the soldiers of Qingzhou shouted in unison,""Eldest Young Master! Young Master! Young Master!" The soldiers 'faces were pale, and their fighting spirit was boiling. Their angry eyes were filled with the light of fighting spirit.
The soldiers of Qingzhou were the elites of the Cao army. After Cao Ang's speech, their morale was boosted. The son of Lord Sikong did not abandon ordinary soldiers in the midst of chaos. To them, who were born in the lower class of the poor, this was a great honor. Moreover, Cao Ang's words were touching and heroic. As soldiers, their courage was stimulated at once, and their courage flourished!
Cao Ang took a deep breath, and the stone in his heart dropped. As a modern person, he had seen many inspiring speeches on the internet and on television in the era of high-tech information. Moreover, if he really ran away now, then these soldiers would probably be finished. Leaders boosted morale in front of the battle. Battles in history were not uncommon. He didn't expect that Cao Ang would also try it today. However, it would depend on the heavens when Yu Jin's troops would arrive.
As time passed, Cao Ang's heart was filled with anxiety. At this moment, Yang Yuan and the deputy general had stopped trying to persuade Cao Ang to escape. They stood by Cao Ang's side, looking at death with a calm expression on their faces, as if everything would be fine if Cao Ang was here. Cao Ang could not help but feel bitter in his heart. He did not expect his 'heartfelt words' to be so effective. Even Yang Yuan, this brat, was moved.
However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. The situation was getting more and more serious. Out of the 2,000 infantry in the tent, there were only 800 that could be used. Even though they were still fighting, the situation was clearly declining. Although Cao Ang's expression was calm, he had already begun to curse Yu Jin's ancestors in his heart.
"Thump ~" In the distance, the sound of drums suddenly rang out, shaking the hearts of the people. Following that, there was a swoosh sound, and a mournful arrow rain shot into the sky. After the arrow rain, the people behind the enemy were stunned, and then they fell to the ground one after another. Cao Ang was shocked. Whose army was this? How could they be so powerful? However, the deputy general beside him bowed to Cao Ang with a joyful expression and said,""Eldest Young Master, you have divine foresight! General Yu Jin is here!"
Hearing this, Cao Ang felt his body relax and almost fell to the ground. After calming himself down, Cao Ang looked into the distance with the help of the moonlight and the lights in the field. He saw that the army had already reached the rear of the enemy. Every infantryman was equipped with a longbow and crossbow, while the cavalry had a saber and spear at their waist. When they fought, the formation was not in disorder at all. The entire army was extremely strict!
In just a moment, the enemy troops that were attacking at night were defeated by Yu Jin's army like a flood. Screams echoed in the field. Cao Ang turned his head without leaving any trace, unwilling to see any more blood. Then, he said to the deputy general beside him,"General, I'll have to trouble you to command the entire army to cooperate with General Yu Jin's pincer attack.”
The deputy general bowed deeply to Cao Ang and said in a clear voice,""I will listen to Eldest Young Master's orders!" Then, he mounted his horse and organized the men in the camp and Yu Jin's troops outside the stronghold to attack the enemy, while using Cao Ang's speech to boost morale.
Compared to Zhang Xiu's army, the Cao Army's individual combat strength was not on the same level. Just now, they were able to hold out for a long time against the enemy. Now that they were attacking from both sides, the Cao Army was like a lightning bolt, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, mercilessly destroying the enemy. Cao Ang saw a general from afar. The light in the distance was too dim, so it was difficult to see his face clearly. However, although he was far away, this general was commanding his troops calmly. Even if the enemy was approaching him occasionally, he was as calm as usual. No one had been able to last three rounds under his blade. After looking at him for a while, Cao Ang already understood this person's identity.
In just a short moment, the enemy army was almost completely wiped out. Yang Yuan said to Cao Ang in surprise,""Eldest Young Master, our army won! Eldest Young Master? Eh? Young Master, what's wrong?"
Cao Ang's face twitched strangely. He gently waved at Yang Yuan and took a deep breath. This was the first time he had seen a dead person, and he had seen so many at once. In fact, he was considered strong enough. If it was someone else with courage, he would have fainted from fear.
At this moment, the general who had been commanding calmly on the battlefield and had an extraordinary bearing strode over. His face was pale and beardless, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were big, and his lips were as white as snow. He was quite handsome, and his hard armor was tightly bound to his straight body. The person bowed to Cao Ang with both hands folded in front of him and said in a clear voice,"Greetings, Eldest Young Master!"
