Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"Go back and tell Zhang Yan that I will launch an attack at the fifth watch.

Get it ready to respond internally.

In this battle, the defense line outside Yecheng will be taken down and pushed under Yecheng!"

After getting Gongsun Zan's defense plan, Cao Ang said to the Jin Yiwei who delivered the letter.

After the Jin Yiwei left to reply, Cao Ang calmly gathered the generals and announced the night attack tonight.

Only However, it is different from Cao Ang's strategy of night attacks in the past. In the past, when Cao Ang attacked at night, he almost always used fine cavalry to rush forward, using fast to attack slow, in order to suppress chaos.

However, the Gongsun Zan camp that he wanted to attack at this time was There are light and dark traps everywhere.

Even if you master the defense map, you have to be careful to bypass it. It is not suitable for cavalry to drive straight in.

If the cavalry is dispatched, it lacks the space to move around and is even worse than the infantry.

So this time, Cao Ang switched to a Thousands of Jin Yiwei armed with crossbows, and Gao Shun's Hujie Army soldiers were in the vanguard. They were supplemented by 10,000 elite soldiers selected from the 90,000 Hebei New Army.

Zhang Yan was also in charge to deal with Gongsun Zan. Those 50,000 troops can be said to be easily captured.

Gongsun Zan's camp is connected with the Yuan army's defense line in Shenpei. As long as Gongsun Zan is captured, he can follow the connecting part of the defense line and drive straight into Yuan's army camp to defeat Shenpei's camp..

In this way, all the nails outside Ye City will be pulled out overnight.

Only Yuan Shang's 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city will be left.

By then, Cao Ang will not even need to attack the city. Yuan's army and Jizhou civil and military forces in the city will , seeing that Yuan's power was over, he would definitely surrender the city.

After formulating such a strategy, Cao Ang also released the Qianli Falcon in the black.

It was used to monitor the entire battlefield to ensure that everything was safe.

Soon, at the fifth watch, It's here.

About three to five o'clock in the future, it's the darkness before dawn, and it's also the time when people sleep the deepest in the night.

Even the enemy soldiers who are on duty at night are at their most sleepy and tired.

In the deep night, Gao Shun led 25,000 Hujie troops as the vanguard and 10,000 elite Hebei New Army troops as the flanks. They reached outside Gongsun Zan's defense line. To be precise, outside the defense line of Sun Zhangyan's coalition forces.

The defense line Zhang Yan's trusted generals were guarding the perimeter. They had already received Zhang Yan's instructions and were waiting here.

Therefore, without making any noise, Gao Shun and the others were ushered into the perimeter defense line and bypassed it. After escaping those traps, we came to the second line of defense.

The second line of defense was the camp where Gongsun Zan's subordinate Tian Kai was stationed.

A thousand guards in brocade uniforms armed with crossbows came up first, and the night guards on Tian Kai's camp were attacked one by one. Kill.

When the other enemy troops noticed it, they had already opened the gate of the camp.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers lit up torches and swarmed into Tian Kai's camp.

Those with traps, tripping ropes, etc. All places were bypassed.

They used strong crossbows, crossbows, arrows, etc., tied with igniting objects, and fired rockets everywhere to ignite Tian Kai's barracks.

In the deepest night on the eve of dawn, the sky light was released in advance. Light it up!

For a moment, Tian Kai's camp was in chaos.

Even in this camp, there were already Gongsun Zan's more elite troops.

But they were killed by countless enemy troops quietly. After entering the camp, they even touched the edge of the tent and set fire to it. Even the best-trained elites panicked. Some soldiers fled. In their panic, they forgot the military prohibitions and stepped into a trap. which triggered a series of chain reactions

"Run quickly, Cao Jun is coming!"

"Spare my life, I am willing to surrender!"

"Help me, I'm in a trap!"

All kinds of exclamations and screams resounded in the camp, exacerbating the chaos in Tian Kai's army.

Tian Kai was originally sleeping peacefully in the Chinese army's tent, but was suddenly awakened by the chaos in the camp..

After learning what happened, Tian Kai’s face was full of tremors:"Why did Cao Jun come in!

Isn't Zhang Yan's men's line of defense in front?

Why is there no movement at all!"

While saying this, Tian Kai's eyelids suddenly twitched and he realized something instantly!

"The former camp guard has surrendered to the enemy!"

Thinking of this, Tian Kai suddenly became extremely angry and regretful!

He had previously suggested that Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army were all Yellow Turban remnants.

They were born as thieves and bandits, so they inevitably have the nature of thieves and bandits and should not be trusted.

However , Gongsun Zan did not listen.

Perhaps Gongsun Zan knew this, so he arranged most of Zhang Yan's troops to the first line of defense on the periphery, so that if Cao's army attacked, Zhang Yan's men would be used as cannon fodder. However ,

Gongsun Zan still took it for granted.

He thought he was smart, but he didn't know that others were not stupid! He wanted to use Zhang Yan's subordinates as cannon fodder, but he couldn't resist others and secretly communicated with Cao Jun, and then led Cao Jun quietly He touched the elite camp under Gongsun Zan...

But now Tian Kai is not sure whether it was the action of Zhang Yan's general or Zhang Yan's instruction.

If it was Zhang Yan's instruction, then Zhang Yan would lead a force at this moment. The elite Montenegrin Army, together with Gongsun Zan, are stationed in the small town.

That would be dangerous!

"Hurry up and report to the Lord that the Heishan Army in the front camp secretly communicated with Cao Jun and led Cao Jun into our camp!

Zhang Yan, the commander of Heishan Canal, may have secretly surrendered to Cao Ang, please be careful!"

Tian Kai called several soldiers on one side and asked them to report to Gongsun Zan in the rear.

On the other side, he personally raised his sword and went into battle, organizing troops and horses to block the incoming Cao army.

At the same time, Tian Kai also sent People went to the Shenpei camp to ask for help.

However, Tian Kai's defense line here only had 30,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses.

And just the Cao army Gao Shun and other troops who came in had nearly 40,000 people, plus the response The front camp of Zhang Yan's Heishan Army in Gao Shun, as well as the main force of Cao's army in the rear, also began to shout for killing.

Tian Kai was unable to make a comeback and could not stop the chaotic situation!

Soon, Tian Kai's defense line was penetrated. At this moment, Tian Kai was completely convinced of the fact that Zhang Yan secretly communicated with Cao Jun!

Because he could see that Cao Jun broke through the defense very quickly, and where the traps were, Tian Kai's soldiers were all panicking. Entered.

But not a single soldier of Cao's army entered!

He must have mastered the biggest secret in Gongsun Zan's army, the defense plan!

Apart from a few people such as Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai who knew the defense situation, the only one in the army was the so-called ally Zhang Yan Got it!

"Zhang Yan betrayed our army and deserves to be killed!"

Tian Kai roared angrily. Seeing that the military camp had been penetrated, he was about to withdraw to the third line of defense and personally report the truth to Gongsun Zan.

But Cao Jun's movements were faster! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

One Thousand The Jin Yiwei armed with continuous crossbows cut off Tian Kai's retreat.

Gao Shun led the Hujie army like a tiger descending the mountain, killed Tian Kai's central army, and surrounded Tian Kai

"General Tian Kai, surrender."

Gao Shun looked at Tian Kai and said in a deep voice to persuade him to surrender.

Tian Kai glanced at Gao Shun with a wry smile and shook his head:"Although my lord is not a wise king like a general, he treats me Tian Kai well.

When it was at its peak, I was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, and I was the shepherd and guardian of one side.

How could Tian Kai betray the Lord!"

After rejecting Gao Shun's persuasion to surrender, Tian Kai put his sword across his neck and sighed:"Alas! I regret that I should have allowed my lord to trust Zhang Yan and join forces with the army!"

After that, Tian Kai cut himself with his sword and died in the formation.

"Contain the body and give it a good burial."

Gao Shun was loyal and righteous. Seeing Tian Kai die for his loyalty, Gao Shun sighed softly.

Then he continued to lead his army towards the third line of defense.

The third line of defense was formed around the small town where Gongsun Zan was stationed. The company camped. It was divided into two parts. Gongsun Zan's 20,000 elite troops occupied the west of the city.

Zhang Yan's small number of elite troops occupied the east of the city.[]

At this time, Gongsun Zan had also been awakened by the sound of killings and flames in Tian Kai's army. Looking at Tian Kai's army camp caught in the sea of ​​fire, Gongsun Zan's face was ashen, with a hint of fear for the unknown:"What's going on!

Why is there a fire in Tian Kai's army!

Could it be that the camp was blown up!"

Subconsciously, Gongsun Zan thought that there was a camp roar in Tian Kai's army.

That is to say, because the sergeant was under too much pressure on weekdays, someone became hysterical at night, which eventually caused chaos in the entire camp.

As for the possibility of Cao's army coming in, Gongsun Zan did not think of it at first.

Because except for the fire in Tian Kai's camp, the garrison of Zhang Yan's men in the first line of defense was very calm.

What's more, Gongsun Zan had only praised him in front of Shen Pei during the day about how impregnable his defense line was, and there was absolutely no possibility of being breached.

Because Gongsun Zan really thinks so

"Lord, something bad is going on!

The Black Mountain Army in the front camp secretly communicated with Cao Jun and led Cao Jun in to fight!

General Tian Kai asked me to report to my lord, beware of Zhang Yan!"

At this time, the soldiers sent by Tian Kai to deliver the message came to Gongsun Zan and reported this.

Gongsun Zan's heart suddenly sank!

The corners of his eyes twitched suddenly:"What? The Black Mountain Army secretly communicated with Cao Jun!"

At this moment, Gongsun Zan realized the problem no matter how slow he reacted!

The defense line he built was indeed impregnable.

But that was all based on the unity of the defenders!

Before that, Gongsun Zan was Because he didn't trust Zhang Yan's subordinates very much, he arranged most of Zhang Yan's troops on the first line of defense on the outside.

Then he asked Tian Kai to lead 30,000 Youzhou elite troops in the center.

Gongsun Zan himself led the last 20,000 infantry and cavalry. , and Zhang Yan's small number of elites, sit at the last line of defense of the small town.

In this way, it can not only achieve the purpose of 607 separating Zhang Yan and his subordinates, but also show that Gongsun Zan trusts Zhang Yan and allows him to station beside him...

The result , but unknowingly, Zhang Yan's former army surrendered to Cao's army and led Cao's army into Tian Kai's military camp!

As for whether Zhang Yan was involved in it, we can only say that it is extremely possible...

Gongsun Zan was sullen in his heart At the same time, he received a battle report from the front:"Reporting to my lord, Cao Jun has captured General Tian Kai's camp.

General Tian Kai would rather die than surrender and committed suicide.

All our soldiers died or surrendered, leaving only a thousand remnants who retreated to the city."

At this moment, Gongsun Zan felt his eyes go dark, and he was so anxious that he wanted to spit out fire!

The fighter planes changed too fast. They were just attacked just now, and now, only a short time has passed, and there is news that Tian Kai is dead!

"Quick, call Zhang Yan over!

I want to ask him personally whether he surrendered Cao Jun!"

Gongsun Zan resisted the urge to spit fire, gritted his teeth and roared.

At this time, Zhang Yan's voice came from far away:"Yi Hou, I'm here.

The general trend is over, it’s better to drop early!"

When Gongsun Zan heard the words, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible, he immediately understood everything and said angrily:"Zhang Yan, you traitor, why did you betray me! Hearing this, Zhang

Yan snorted coldly:"Marquis Yi and I are neither relatives nor friends, we are just cooperating. How can we talk about betrayal?"

General Cao dominated the world, but Yi Hou joined forces with the Yuan family to survive.

I think Yihou’s choice was unwise!

I, Zhang Yan, participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, just because there were too many mediocre people in the court and beasts were running rampant in the palace, making it impossible for ordinary people like me to survive!

Now General Cao came into being. In just over a year, he swept through the princes and broadcast his kindness to all directions.

Under Cao's rule, all the people in the counties and counties were at peace.

This is what we, the reckless people, expect!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan looked at Gongsun Zan meaningfully:"Marquis Yi comes from a noble family, so naturally he cannot understand the hearts of ordinary people like us.

If the court and state and county officials had one-tenth of Cao Zixiu's benevolence, how could there be the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the world! Seeing that

Gongsun Zan's eyes were getting more and more angry and he had no intention of surrender, Zhang Yan sighed softly, drew his sword and faced Gongsun Zan:"Marquis Yi, I'm offended."

In the past, I was a remnant of the Yellow Turbans and a Black Mountain thief.

Now, the world is about to be settled. I just want to lead the brothers of the Montenegrin Army to gain a better background.……"
