On the plains of Shiting, nearly 100,000 Wei troops were resting here. They were all dejected and listless, and the wounded soldiers sometimes let out heart-rending wails, making the atmosphere in the entire camp even more gloomy.

The recent defeat was fortunately saved from a disastrous defeat by Cao Xiu himself. However, even so, the Wei army ran for ten miles in one breath before they dared to stop and rest.

"Report to Chief Sima, the Wu army has withdrawn its troops and returned to camp, and has not caught up with them." The scout reported to Cao Xiu, who was sitting on a stone with his eyes closed and meditating.

Cao Xiu opened his eyes and responded feebly: "I know."

"Da Sima, God bless our army. Fortunately, Lu Xun and others were too cautious, which allowed us to escape." Wang Ling thought that the Wu army only pursued them for two or three miles and then stopped chasing them. He couldn't help but secretly called out a fluke.

Sun Li looked up at the sky and sighed: "It was also the sky that saved our lives. If it hadn't happened to be night, Lu Xun and the others would have been chasing us for a while."

"Oh, it's a pity that General Zhang Pu did not escape with his life and was killed in the formation." Xue Qiao also sighed.

During the day, Zhang Pu took the initiative to stay and break up the rear in order to allow his troops to evacuate. In the end, he was beheaded by the Wu army because he was outnumbered.

Remembering that Pao Ze, who was still very active not long ago, had lost his life, all the generals were also quite sad, and they all fell silent.

"Da Sima, what should we do next?" After a while, Sun Li asked Cao Xiu, who had been silent.

After hearing this, Cao Xiu pondered undecidedly and did not answer immediately.

Although his own army was defeated by the Wu army during the day, the damage was not serious and the strength of the army was still there. If the battle continued, there might not be no possibility of victory. If he left like this, he would really have no face to return to the court to see Emperor Wei.

Just looking around, all the soldiers were exhausted and had no fighting spirit. If the fight continued, Cao Xiu himself would not be sure of victory.

"Let's rest here for one night, and tomorrow we will retreat to Shu County for repairs before making further plans." After thinking for a long time, Cao Xiu finally decided to retreat temporarily.

"Send people again to find the army in the middle, and order Jia Kui not to go to Dongguan. Order him to rush to Shu County immediately to join our army." Cao Xiu ordered again.

After hearing this, the generals immediately understood that he wanted to wait for the army from the middle to come for reinforcements before fighting with the Wu army. Although Sun Li and others did not completely agree with this, they had no other choice at the moment and had to agree repeatedly.

Now that the deployment was completed, the Wei army immediately cut down the forest to collect wood, set up camp, and prepared to rest for the night in Shiting.

Late at night, all the Wei troops fell asleep. However, due to the defeat during the day, many people had doubts about the future of the battle. Many people sighed and sighed. In addition, the wounded soldiers could not stand the pain and howled uncontrollably, which angered everyone.

Even more distraught, I don't know if half of the soldiers can actually sleep peacefully.

"Great Governor." In the Wu military camp, a scout captain came in and paid homage to Lu Xun.

Although it was already late at night, Lu Xun did not feel sleepy and was still in high spirits. It seemed that the victory during the day made him feel very comfortable.

"How is the situation of the Wei army?"

The scout captain reported: "Back to the Governor, the Wei army has camped in Shiting. There are constant screams and wailing in the camp."

"How is the defense?" Lu Xun asked again.

"Although the Wei army suffered a new defeat, the camp is still in good order and the sentries are relatively close."

Lu Xun nodded slightly, waved and said: "I understand, continue to monitor, and report immediately if there is any abnormality."

"No." The scout captain took the order and left.

"Grand Governor, although the Wei thieves have been defeated for a while, their vitality has not been damaged, and Cao Xiu and others are still very vigilant. If they rob the camp, I am afraid it will be a bit reluctant." Quan Cong said with fists in his hands.

Lu Xun smiled and said: "Well, I expected this. Cao Xiu is not a mediocre general. It is impossible for him to become panicked just because he lost a game. If he didn't even have this vigilance, I would have fought him long ago."

Went to Hefei."

All the generals smiled when they heard him joking about their own dark history. Quan Cong then asked: "Then shall we still rob the camp?"

It turned out that Lu Xun and others had not yet fallen asleep at this time, because they were preparing to launch a siege of the Wei army overnight, intending to completely defeat Cao Xiu's Eastern Route Army.

"The plan to rob the camp remains unchanged. If we don't defeat the Wei army while they are exhausted and low in morale, it will be very difficult for them to win again after they regain their breath." Lu Xun thought for a while, with a firm look on his face.

replied.

Zhu Huan, who had been silent for the whole time, also agreed: "The Governor is right. Tonight is our best chance. Even if we attack by force, we have to break this hard bone. Otherwise, when Cao Xiu gets through these days, we will be in trouble in the future."

There is no such good opportunity anymore.”

Although he had tried his best to belittle Cao Xiu in his previous suggestions to Sun Quan, these were just words of encouragement for Sun Quan. According to their original intention, he was very afraid of Cao Xiu's opponent.

After all, Cao Xiu has made many achievements in the years on the Eastern Front. He defeated Liyang, defeated Lu Fan, beheaded Shende, and conquered Han Cong. He made great military achievements and shocked Jiangdong. Generally speaking, Zhu Huan and others were still good in their fights with him.

Suffering.

Lu Xun nodded and said, "That's the truth. It's already Zishi time. When Yinshi arrives, we will lead our army to attack Shiting. You can still take a nap when you go back and seize the time to regain your strength."

"I will obey the orders of the Grand Governor." All the generals responded in unison.

In a military tent east of Wei Camp in Shiting, Sergeant Zhang Wu, who had finally fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. His nerves were already tense due to the day's escape, and he could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality. He picked up the

The Huanshou Sword on the side was slashing wildly while shouting: "Run, run, Wu Thief is coming to kill, kill, run, don't kill me..."

The other nine Wei soldiers in the tent were all woken up. They couldn't see their fingers in front of their eyes. They could only hear Zhang Wu's panicked shouts. They really thought it was the Wu army coming to kill them. They were all frightened. They quickly got up and picked up their weapons to attack.

Run outside the tent.

"ah!"

At this time, a scream resounded through the sky. It turned out that the Wei soldier closest to Zhang Wu was stabbed in the arm by Zhang Wu without noticing. In order to protect himself, he also swung his knife and slashed in the direction of Zhang Wu.

Unexpectedly, he hit someone else.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Stimulated by this, everyone in the tent did not distinguish between friends and foes, and started killing each other. The Wei soldiers in the tents on the left and right were also awakened, and they heard shouts of killing coming from the side.

, they really thought that the Wu army was attacking, so they all ran away in panic.

At this time, Zhang Wu and others had been killed from the tent. The sight of them covered in blood made the Wei soldiers outside frightened. Hundreds of soldiers jumped into chaos and ran wildly.

In order to stabilize the situation, a school captain drew his sword and hacked to death a sergeant who was passing by him. He did not want this move to make the Wei soldiers panic even more. In order to escape from here, many sergeants raised their swords to kill Pao Ze who was blocking the way.

Rumors that Wu soldiers had entered the camp quickly spread from east to west, and soon spread to the entire military camp.

The sergeants were already exhausted from traveling continuously, and they were defeated by the Wu army during the day. Their morale was also at the bottom. Seventy-eight out of ten of them were exhausted physically and mentally, and had lingering fears. At this moment, they were infected by panic, and something happened to the general.

The last thing I want to see is the bombing of the camp.

When Cao Xiu walked out of the camp and saw the soldiers running back and forth and fighting each other, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment and froze on the spot without saying a word, as if he was in a dream.

"Da Sima, there are no Wu thieves coming to kill us. This is a surprise to the camp! A surprise to the camp!" Xue Qiao, who was coming from the west, got off his horse and was in front of Cao Xiu in two or three steps.

Only then did Cao Xiu come to his senses and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven is trying to kill me!"

"Da Sima, let's retreat quickly before the Wu thieves come." At this time, Sun Li also rushed over.

Wang Ling was also with him, and Wang Ling also said in a hurry: "Da Sima, retreat quickly. Our ten thousand men are not panicked yet, which is enough to protect Da Sima and evacuate. If we wait for the Wu thieves to come, then we will

Even if I want to leave, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave.”

Once a camp bombing occurs at night, the generals actually have no way to stop it. They can only wait until dawn and the sergeants stabilize themselves. But by that time, the Wu army has already killed them, so Cao Xiu and the others have only one way to retreat first.

"Withdraw! Order the three armies to evacuate immediately!" Cao Xiu weakly ordered.

Although the order to retreat was issued to the entire army, how many sergeants were able to comply with the order at this time only depended on luck.

"Kill, kill..."
