Just as Lu Bu was carrying out pre-war mobilization and boosting morale, Yanjin Ferry, ten miles away, had turned into a mess.

Xia Houyuan, as a close general of the clan of Boss Cao's camp, has a great status in Cao's camp.

Moreover, Xia Houyuan is not the kind of loser who just eats and waits to die.

In Boss Cao's camp, they are all capable people and will never tell you about relationships. There is no such thing as a relationship owner.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan is still very capable, especially his archery skills and he is a perfect archer.

However, Xia Houyuan's situation was not very good at this time.

Originally, Xia Houyuan was calmly confronting Yan Liang outside Yanjin Ferry.

As a result, early this morning, he received a secret message from Boss Cao, asking him to launch an all-out attack on Yanjin Ferry after dark.

Then he would pretend to be defeated and lure Yan Liang to pursue him. He would arrange for Lu Bu to attack Yan Liang from the side and help him capture Yanjin.

Based on his trust in Boss Cao, Xia Houyuan acted according to Boss Cao's arrangements without even thinking.

Throughout the day, Xia Houyuan attacked Yan Liang's stronghold as usual, and then withdrew his troops early, waiting for the general attack at night.

Everything was normal, but Xia Houyuan was very unlucky. By chance, Tian Feng was sent by Yuan Shao to patrol the camp today.

Speaking of which, it is a coincidence that Tian Feng is here.

Tian Feng was Yuan Shao's adviser. He was born in a poor family and belonged to a poor family.

As we all know, when Yuan Shao hires people, he first looks at the person's background. If the person's background is good, Yuan Shao will use him with great importance. If the person's background is not good, Yuan Shao will look down on him.

Unfortunately, Tian Feng belongs to the category that is not taken seriously.

Tian Feng, on the other hand, was a stubborn and loyal man. From his heart, he had always opposed Yuan Shao's use of troops against the imperial court.

In Tian Feng's view, the serious illness of the Han Dynasty required good doctors, and an emperor like Liu Xie was needed to drastically transform the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, although Tian Feng was in Yuan camp, his heart was with Han. Although he did not betray Yuan Shao, he went to Yuan Shao every three days, hoping that he could have a good discussion with the emperor and there was no need to send troops to oppose the emperor.

How can Yuan Shao, who has been confused by power, listen?

He originally wanted to get rid of Tian Feng, but Tian Feng was upright and capable, and was highly valued by everyone in Jizhou. He was very prestigious in Jizhou.

As a result, Yuan Shao had no way to take action against Tian Feng, and he himself was troubled by Tian Feng every day, so he could only send him out to patrol the camp so that he could stay clean in Guandu for a few days.

Tian Feng's first stop was Yanjin, but on the first day he came, he encountered Xia Houyuan's attack camp.

Looking at Cao's army retreating, Yan Liang just said something strange, why did Cao's army retreat so early today?

As a result, Tian Feng listened to these words.

After asking Yan Liang in detail about Cao Jun's movements in the past, Tian Feng realized that Cao Jun was abnormal.

Therefore, Tian Feng suggested that Yan Liang be careful to prevent Cao's army from attacking the camp at night.

As for Yan Liang, there is a person who admires Tian Feng. He knows Tian Feng's abilities well. At the same time, he also feels that it is not a big problem to divide the troops and go out to help defend. At worst, it doesn't matter if they come back before dawn.

But just in case, as Tian Feng said, Cao Jun will attack the camp in the middle of the night, and there will be a wave of troops ambushing nearby, which is enough for Cao Jun to drink a pot.

So Yan Liang sent his lieutenant and asked him to lead five thousand troops to ambush in the woods next to the camp.

After doing all this, Xia Houyuan took advantage of the darkness and ran to attack the camp.

Everything is as Tian Feng expected, so there is nothing left to say, just start fighting.

As a result, Xia Houyuan led his men to Yan Liang's camp. Halfway through the battle, Xia Houyuan felt that it was about the same, so he prepared to fake defeat.

As a result, as soon as his order was passed on, Yuan Jun, who had been hiding in the woods for a long time, came out at the right time.

Then the fake defeat turned into a real defeat, and Cao Cao's entire army blew up the camp.

Friends who know history know that there were no examples of night attacks and night battles in ancient times.

But generally such situations are initiated by the weaker party in order to smooth out the strength gap between the two parties.

Due to the eating habits of ancient people, soldiers at the bottom of the army were more or less prone to night blindness, which meant they could not see clearly when it got dark.

For this reason, during ancient wars, especially when stationed in the wild, there would be a curfew at night. The fear was that the slightest movement at night would blow up the camp.

After all, bombing a camp is dangerous.

Now Xia Houyuan is blowing up the camp.

Since the order to fake defeat had been issued before, Cao's soldiers were preparing to retreat, but suddenly a group of troops came out from the side and cut Cao's army in half.

If it were daytime, Xiahou Yuan would definitely order a counterattack. Moreover, the ambush of five thousand men would not be enough to cause Cao's army to be in chaos.

By this time it was night, and the night was dark and windy, so it was inevitable that Cao Jun would blow up the camp.

Looking at the chaotic team, Xia Houyuan's mouth was full of bitterness. He just wanted to ask when the reinforcements sent by his lord would arrive.

As Yan Liang led the Jizhou cavalry, they rushed out of the camp and prepared to deliver the final blow to Xia Houyuan.

However, Xiahou Yuan tried his best to control and restore the order of the army, but he could not control it no matter what. When the entire Cao army was about to collapse.

To the east of the battlefield, a fire dragon appeared, accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves.

"Brothers, follow me to break the formation and kill the enemy!" Lu Bu rushed at the front of the crowd. His iconic square-shaped halberd and fiery red cloak are the best guides for all the Bingzhou Wolf Riders.

"Kill!" the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry behind Lu Bu also shouted, and then just like a normal drill, it automatically divided into two parts, left and right, and moved towards Yan Liang's position, flanking him on the left and right.

This is because Yuan Jun, who was the first to make a sneak attack, was already entangled with Xia Houyuan's people, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Only Yan Liangbu, who had just left the camp, was still some distance away from Xia Houyuan, and there were only so many others. If not him, who could he hit?

Looking at the Bingzhou Langqi who were surrounding him, Yan Liang did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

He thought that the reinforcements coming were just ordinary reinforcements from Cao's army, and he did not think that anyone in Cao's army could be his opponent now.

In addition, at this time, he was within walking distance of his home camp and could retreat at any time, so he didn't care who came.

Even at this time, Yan Liang came to the front of the team and shouted loudly to Lu Bu: "Who is coming! A certain sword will not kill the unknown general!"

On the other side, Lu Bu, who had lowered his posture, didn't talk to him at all.

He had already met Yan Liang when he was in Luoyang, and knew that Yan Liang was not a weakling. Although he could easily defeat him, it was not so easy to kill him or capture him.

Moreover, this place is too close to Yuan Shao's camp, and Yan Liang might even run away, which is unacceptable to me.
