Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

That night, the wind was cold and windy.

The weather in mid-November became very cold, and the wind blew through the camp, causing the flags to flutter.

On the maple wall, the bonfire flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, reflecting the faces of the soldiers, showing their faces that were ready to die.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the stairs of the city wall, and a group of people surrounded Cao De, who was wearing golden armor and a purple robe, and came to the city wall.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted.

Cao De glanced at everyone and nodded slightly: "No need to be polite!"

He turned to look at the Han army camp outside the city and asked, "Are there any movements from the enemy outside the city?"

The deputy commander of the city defense quickly replied: "No movement was detected. It's the same as usual."

"very good!"

Cao De laughed and said, "You don't know your death is coming. God is really helping me. The Han army should be destroyed today!"

"Pass the order and act according to the plan!"

At the command, the city gate opened, and Zhang Liao led his troops quietly out of the city and headed straight for the Han army camp.

Under the night sky, the cold moon is like a hook, reflecting the clear frost all over the ground.

The Wei army deliberately lowered their footsteps, and it took more than half an hour for all 50,000 soldiers to leave the city.

At this moment, the Han army camp was still the same as usual, with no movement at all.

Soon, the Wei army arrived half a mile away from the Han army.

At this moment, the Han army on night watch seemed to have discovered something and immediately shouted, "Look, is there anyone over there?"

Many Han soldiers looked over and saw the dense black shadows. They were immediately horrified:

"No, enemy attack!"

"Blow the horn!"

Along with the shouts, trumpets sounded, immediately waking up the Han army that was still sleeping.

Zhang Liao saw this and made a prompt decision: "Charge forward, archers, shoot!"

At the command, the Wei army charged and advanced rapidly. When they were within an arrow's reach, sharp arrows whizzed out.

The Han army noticed the approach of the Wei army and had raised their shields to resist. This round of sharp arrows did not cause much damage.

But Zhang Liao was unaware of this and continued to order the charge.

It was not until the Wei army approached that the Han army in the camp shot rows of sharp arrows.

The Han army at the forefront of the charge was caught off guard and a large number of them were shot down.

"Keep charging, kill them!"

Zhang Liao rode his horse and led the charge towards the Han army camp, and the Wei army behind him immediately followed.

Relying on the advantage of the charge, Zhang Liao arrived at the gate of the camp first. He swung the long sword in his hand left and right, and the powerful force actually broke the fence into pieces.

Then he rushed into the camp on horseback and killed more than a dozen Han soldiers at the gate.

The camp gate was opened and the Wei army outside rushed in frantically.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

The morale of the Wei army was boosted, and they wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Han army camp.

But the Han army, which had been awakened, immediately came to support and a gunfight broke out between the two sides.

This scene was seen clearly by Cao De who was standing on the distant city wall.

"It is indeed the main force of the Han army. Under such circumstances, they can still organize troops to resist our army!"

Cao De sneered and said, "But it's a pity, I have prepared a big show for them tonight!"

"Send a signal arrow and have Xu Chu and Cao Bao attack from the left and right sides."

At the command, three rockets from the city wall launched into the air.

Xu Chu, who was waiting outside the city, laughed wildly when he saw this: "Hahahaha, it's finally my turn to take action. Soldiers, follow me!"

At the same time, Cao Bao on the left sneered: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, follow me to charge and tear apart the Han army's defense line."

The tiger and leopard cavalry hidden in the darkness behind him suddenly rushed out like ferocious beasts.

On the city wall, Cao De saw this scene and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"The Han army was caught off guard. Now we only need to attack from the left and right sides, and the Han army will surely be defeated!"

After a pause, he turned to look at Sima Yi behind him and asked, "Sima Aiqing, what do you think?"

Sima Yi still bowed his body and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is very smart and has a great plan. I admire you!"

"Hahahaha~"

Cao De stroked his beard with his right hand, with excitement on his face.

If the Han army can be defeated tonight, the Wei army can take advantage of the situation to invade the Han Dynasty. By then, his name Cao De will spread throughout the world!

Of course, what is more important is that he fell in love with the Empress of the Han Emperor!

Hearing that the Queen of the Han Dynasty was so beautiful, he was determined to taste her.

But at this moment, something strange happened!

Although Xu Chu on the right wing led his troops to the Han camp, he was unable to break into it as they were blocked by many archers.

The offensive was blocked!

What was even more deadly was that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the left wing actually encountered a trap!

Screams resounded through the sky, and large groups of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fell into the trap, causing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry behind them to rein in their horses and dare not move forward.

To make matters worse, many archers appeared in the Han army camp not far away and shot at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

In an instant, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who were unprepared, were killed and screamed in pain, and fell off their horses one after another.

Cao Bao was shocked when he saw this: "Oh no! The Han army is well prepared! Someone, go and inform His Majesty immediately!"

"Everyone else, follow me and retreat!"

There were countless traps ahead, and the Han army had deployed many archers, so they didn't dare to rush forward at all.

Retreat is the best option to preserve manpower.

At the order, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to retreat.

But at this moment, a cavalry group suddenly appeared from the side and passed through the chaotic Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, splitting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into two.

"General, this is bad, these are Han cavalry!"

Cao Bao was terrified when he heard this: "Oh no, we have fallen into a trap. The Han army is well prepared. Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Cao Bao, who had no intention of fighting, wanted to retreat.

However, countless Han cavalry had divided them into two halves and were fighting fiercely.

In just a quarter of an hour, many Tiger and Leopard Riders were killed!

"General, it's bad, we are surrounded!"

There was a trap behind them and Han cavalry in front of them, so the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had nowhere to retreat.

Cao Bao's face was gloomy. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and roared, "Charge out, you must charge out, gather all the troops and charge forward!"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were still quite powerful. After gathering their troops, they actually killed and defeated the Han cavalry.

But even so, there was still a steady stream of Han cavalry and infantry rushing up from behind.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were caught in the human wave tactic and were completely trapped, like a dragon swimming in shallow water or a tiger falling on the plains, unable to exert their charging power.

On the left and right sides, Xu Chu was blocked outside the camp, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were surrounded and could not make any progress.

Zhang Liao on the front battlefield had not seen any reinforcements for a long time, so he looked around.

It didn't matter that he saw it, he was suddenly struck by lightning and his whole body turned cold.

"Not good, the troops on the left and right sides are blocked, and our army has become an isolated force deep in the Han army camp!"

Zhang Liao was shocked. He didn't expect this result.

But worse news came: "General, it's bad, the Han army is attacking Maplewood City!"

Zhang Liao turned around and saw that Maple City was indeed engulfed in flames.

The Han army took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Wei army had been dispatched and chose to attack the city at this moment.

Zhang Liao felt cold all over, he knew there were only two paths before him.

"Either go back to support, or take a gamble and charge directly into the Han army camp, forcing the Han army outside the camp to come back to support!"

A look of determination flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and he knew that he had to make a choice.
