Chapter 28 Special operations, decapitation operation!
Huangfu Song did not dare to attack with his entire army, but he did not want to wait any longer, so he decided to send an additional 100,000 troops on the fourth day. That was already two-thirds of the troops. In fact, including the 20,000 troops lost by Ding Yuan, Huangfu Song only had 280,000 troops. After the division of troops, there were only 80,000 troops left in the main camp!

"Based on the enemy's movements, they should send reinforcements early tomorrow morning!" said Chen Gong.

Sending more troops is not just talk.

Why did Huangfu Song give the order tonight when the attack would not be held until tomorrow?
That was because they had to allocate siege equipment and change guards in advance, and allocate who would guard and who would attack. Therefore, when the army made some movements, the Yellow Turbans also noticed it and roughly guessed the other side's deployment.

"Taking shortcuts can only delay the enemy for three days. If you want to hold on, you still have to rely on your hard power!" Jiang Chengdao said.

The fourth day is when the difficulty begins.

An army of 200,000 attacking a city, forty times the number of troops, is terrifying just to think about.

If the Yellow Turbans had not been making gunpowder these days and had not kneaded a lot of small but large numbers of "Molotov cocktails" and "gunpowder cans", it would have been almost impossible to defend the city with manpower alone.

As I said, the prerequisite for the weak to defeat the strong is that the other party has flaws.

At this time, the imperial army had no flaws.

On the contrary, any general caught at random would become a boss-level figure later on!

"We have limited manpower. We are not sure if we can hold out for another seven days. But even if we can, all five thousand elite soldiers will be killed or wounded. We must not fight head-on!" Chen Gong looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "For now, we must take the initiative to attack and disrupt their deployment."

After saying that, he started fiddling with it on the sand table.

It is the enemy's deployment.

It is impossible for an army of 300,000 to all swarm in one place. That would be too chaotic.

Instead, they should disperse and station themselves.

Although not as exaggerated as Liu Bei's "800-li continuous camp" later, there were still barracks covering dozens of miles. Some soldiers were stationed separately to guard the rear, some were close to the city to prevent attacks, and some were preparing to attack the city.

They are not adjacent to each other, but are part of a garrison.

They support each other.

This provides an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Dong Zhuo's men are stationed outside the city, and the 100,000-man army is there. If Huangfu Song wants to send more troops, he must dispatch the Bingzhou army. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao will definitely not be in charge." Chen Gong fiddled with it and said, "The yellow flag is here, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and other local warriors are here, and the commander's tent is here!"

Chen Gong pointed to several places in succession.

Then he connected them into a line and said, "If we sneak out of the city from the southeast corner where there is no city gate, use the cloud-seeking hook to sneak in at night, we will have a great chance of reaching the general's tent. Even if we can't reach it, we can get close enough to throw the 'gunpowder pot'!"

The so-called "gunpowder can" is a low-end version of a grenade.

Burn paper with clay and fill it with gunpowder.

After being ignited, it can explode with the power of large-scale firecrackers in later generations. If hit at close range, it can blow off hands and feet.

Maybe it can't kill people, but in this era, it is already quite powerful.

"It's feasible. You go and deploy them yourself. Gather 500 people, divide them into groups of 50, and carry out a saturation decapitation attack. Go straight to Huangfu Song's tent!" Jiang Cheng ordered, "Equip bows and crossbows. We don't need to succeed, but we must make a big mess."

Zhang Jue was puzzled by this.

"Why are you just making a fuss?"

"Because even if Huangfu Song is killed, the imperial court will not withdraw its troops. Instead, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Zhang Liao and others will take over, which will only make it more difficult to deal with!" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "So, gather another 3,000 people and equip them with war horses. Once the enemy camp is in chaos, we will immediately attack and head straight for Dong Zhuo's siege equipment."

How can we change the situation of the war?

Ladders and trebuchets.

If there were no siege equipment, a ten-foot-high city wall, plus the moat below, would become an insurmountable natural barrier.

Therefore, beheading was just a diversion; the real purpose was to destroy the siege equipment.

"E Lai, you lead the team yourself, lead Zhou Cang and Liao Hua to attack. Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!" Jiang Cheng ordered.

……

On the other side, late at night, Huangfu Song was still discussing military affairs with Cao Cao. He was not too worried about not being able to take Handan City. What he was really worried about was that the Yellow Turbans could not be completely wiped out. At the same time, he believed that Jiang Cheng and others must have a retreat plan, and if they dared to face the imperial army, they would be sure that they would not be wiped out.

Therefore, they were already considering how to prevent enemy raids after taking the city.

"Only a hundred miles away is 'Nuwa Mountain (Taihang Mountain)'. If I were Jiang Cheng, I would have retreated to the mountains by now to avoid the imperial army!" Huangfu Song said, "But the strange thing is that they show no signs of retreating. This is extremely abnormal!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao also frowned.

"Of course he has the confidence, but where does he have the confidence?"

At this time, the area between Handan, Julu and Taihang Mountain had been blocked by the army. Huangfu Song was not stationed in the south of the city, but in the west, guarding the Taihang Mountains. If the situation dragged on for too long, it would be difficult for Jiang Cheng to evacuate.

"You can't really want to fight us, right?"

But when the battle really came, the Yellow Turbans showed no signs of gathering. The rebels in the capital were still attacking the capital, and the rebels in Qingzhou were also attacking Qingzhou. Zhang Jue did not even send a gathering order to the surrounding Yellow Turbans. On the contrary, he dismissed many small groups of soldiers around Julu.

"But Jiang Cheng and Zhang Jiao are here."

No matter how they thought about it, they felt something was wrong, and they found it difficult to fall asleep even late at night.

At a certain moment, Cao Cao, who was thinking about something, suddenly felt a vague sense of uneasiness and said, "With the wisdom of my senior brother, he should know that there is no more than three times the limit, and he should make another move tomorrow. But what can they do?"

At this point, he suddenly thought of the "special operations" that Jiang Cheng had casually mentioned when they were drinking together before.

Jiang Cheng said that archers don't have to be put in the open.

If there is a group of elite soldiers who can ride and shoot, are good at swords, and can attack from a distance or in close combat, they can be transformed into "special forces" to carry out some special decapitation activities.

"He wants to take the initiative to attack!" Cao Cao glared.

Huangfu Song was stunned.

"Sentries, are the sentries still there? Speak out!" Cao Cao walked out of the tent and shouted to the people around him.

As a result, no one responded at all.

Hundreds of sentinels, both openly and covertly, were silent.

"Damn it, there are 300,000 troops nearby, how dare he do that?" Cao Cao exclaimed.

At the same time, the ten "decapitation teams" who found themselves exposed began to throw things at the commander's tent. There were Molotov cocktails and gunpowder cans. Some of them were hiding in a random place and started a sneak attack.

Yuan Shu, who couldn't sleep late at night and was squatting in the toilet, saw a "gunpowder pot" with flames coming out of it.

Before he could call for help, gunpowder was thrown into the pit, causing it to explode.

The explosion didn't hurt him, but it covered him in shit and urine.

Without even having time to pull up his trousers, he rushed out, shouting, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Yuan Shao, who was awakened by the shock, looked confused.

Standing quietly far away, indicating: I don’t know that person over there.

There was a roar and shouts of killing.

Naturally, all the major military camps were alarmed.

Whether it was Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, or Dong Zhuo, they all hurriedly led their troops to rescue the commander Huangfu Song.

However, when they arrived at the place, they were greeted with a barrage of scolding.

Not Huangfu Song.

It was Cao Cao who said angrily, "There are no less than a thousand guards in the general's tent. Even if ten thousand people besiege us, we can't take it in a short time. Why are you panicking? They are just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Their target is you!"

He has already reacted.

But, it's too late!
There were shouts of killing coming from Dong Zhuo’s camp ahead!
"Your grandfather Dian Wei is here, who dares to fight me?"
