"What is this?" Li Dian Lejin took the cotton coat handed to him by his personal soldier with some curiosity.

"Hey, this clothes is so thick and warm."

As soon as they touched it, they felt something was wrong. They thought it was the kind of reed-flowered clothes.

I didn’t expect it to be like that at all. I felt warm just holding the clothes in my hands.

"Yes, those Dengxian soldiers all seem to be wearing clothes like this. I saw they pulled several carts!"

The guard said excitedly, "The brothers down there have been freezing these past few days. Those sleeping in the camp can even hug each other for warmth. But those on duty outside can't even hold their guns all night, and two have even frozen to death."

Le Jin and Li Dian looked at each other. Of course they knew about this.

If the timing wasn't so good, how could we possibly go out and fight in the middle of winter?

Although the climate in Jingzhou is better than in the north, it is still frighteningly cold in the coldest days of winter.

The soldiers in the army would still shiver with cold even if they wrapped themselves in all their clothes.

I didn’t expect that Dengxianjun actually had such a good thing.

"Mancheng!" Le Jin said, "These Dengxian troops did not flee towards Dengxian, but instead ran towards Rangxian."

"As long as we catch up, we will be able to surround them with our troops outside Rang County!"

Li Dian hesitated for a moment and felt that it made sense.

If you run towards Deng County, there may be an ambush.

But now the other side was so panicked that they rushed towards Rang County where their army was located.

As long as we chase them for a few dozen miles, we can block the enemy.

According to the personal soldiers, it seems that the entire army is wearing this kind of cotton-padded jacket, and there are at least more than 10,000 pieces in the supply carts.

They need this thing so much right now.

"Okay, chase them!" After thinking about it and feeling that there would not be any ambush, Li Dian made a decision.

The two men gave orders and the troops they led chased after them again.

"Huh, I'm really worried they won't chase me anymore!"

Zhuge Tian, ​​who was running away in front, had been watching the other party's movements with a telescope. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had really caught up with him.

By this time it was getting dark.

From the moment they stepped into the ambush site of Cao's army to every time they blocked the enemy army, the time for each step was almost the same as what Zhuge Liang had arranged at the beginning.

Zhuge Tian blew the whistle on his chest, and the army accelerated and rushed forward.

Because it was getting dark, Li Dian, Le Jin and the others didn't notice and just kept following.

"Wen Qian! There's a forest ahead, I'm afraid there's an ambush!"

Suddenly Li Dian stopped and said to Le Jin.

"What are you afraid of? They've ambushed us several times before, and we chased them like lost dogs every time."

"Besides, Rang County is still thirty miles away from here. How could they possibly ambush a large army here in advance without being discovered by our troops in Rang County?"

Li Dian hesitated for a moment and felt that what Le Jin said made sense.

So he continued to lead people to chase in.

As soon as the two thousand cavalry and nearly six thousand infantry entered the forest, a fire suddenly broke out inside.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said from a distance, "You may proceed."

He had made plans early on to set up an ambush here.

This place is thirty miles away from Rang County, which will greatly relax the other party's vigilance.

Coupled with the temptation of the cotton-padded jacket, although Li Dian and Le Jin were cautious, they still fell into the trap in the end.

It was already dry in the winter, and the woods were filled with dead branches and fallen leaves.

Once it starts burning, it's out of control.

The huge flames and thick smoke completely engulfed the people in the forest.

Zhuge Tian looked at the forest where flames shot up into the sky. There was also a place name here, called Bowangpo.

After all, there was no way to avoid this fire.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun led their troops to charge towards the thousands of people outside the forest.

The enemy commander and almost half of his troops were engulfed in fire. Even a fool would have known that they had fallen into an ambush.

Now it was dark again, and I saw countless soldiers and horses coming towards me, brandishing swords and shouting to kill.

The remaining Cao soldiers had lost their backbone and had no intention of fighting at this time, so they just started to flee in all directions.

The Dengxian army rushed forward and killed indiscriminately, encountering almost no decent resistance.

In just a few moments, thousands of people were killed or wounded, and two or three thousand people knelt down and surrendered.

"Zilong, get more of Cao's flags."

Zhuge Tian said, "Kong Ming, take the infantry and clean up this place, then return to Xinye to reunite with us."

"All cavalry, let's go back to Xinye."

Zhuge Tian also picked up a Cao army flag on the ground.

He turned around, looked at Xu Chu and said, "You stay and protect Kong Ming."

If we run in the middle of the night and this idiot runs away, we won’t know which direction to look for him.

Several people led the cavalry and headed quickly towards Xinye.

Some of Cao's troops had escaped from the ambush just now, and they had to return to Cao's camp outside Xinye before the enemy did.

After running for half a day in the afternoon, the war horses were a little tired.

But there was no time to worry about so many things now. It was a pity that Li Dian and his cavalry all entered the woods.

There were no more war horses for them to ride.

They had to rest for a while, fed the horses the best food and some water, and then continued on their way. Finally, they arrived at Cao's camp outside Xinye when it was almost dawn.

"Open the camp gate, there's military intelligence to report!"

When the Cao army defenders saw that the cavalrymen coming were all carrying the flags of Li Dian and Le Jin and wearing Cao army uniforms, they never imagined that Li Dian and Le Jin's army would be almost wiped out in such a short time.

Just open the camp gate and let the people in.

At this time, most of Cao's troops in the camp were still sleeping.

After Zhuge Tian and others entered, they began to throw out the kerosene that had been prepared immediately.

Liao Hua and Gan Ning even took out their loudspeakers and shouted, "Run! Liu Biao's army is coming!"

"Run, General Zilian is dead!"

The sudden fire and deafening shouts of killing woke up Cao's army in the tent.

At this time, how can we tell whether the news is true or false?

The camp was burned down, and there were still so many people shouting, which probably meant someone really broke in.

When the general does not know his soldiers and the soldiers do not know their general.

Most of Cao's army was like headless flies.

Some were looking for weapons to resist, while others were just trying to escape.

Cao's camp was in chaos.

Cao Hong was desperately pulled by his personal guards: "General, the camp is howling!"

After saying this, he killed a Cao soldier who was rushing towards him with a knife like a madman.

"General, we don't know how many enemy troops are coming. We should retreat first and make plans later!"

"Yes, General, let's retreat first!"

Cao Hong looked at the camp filled with flames and shouts of killing.

He even saw many Cao soldiers killing each other, and knew that he was powerless to turn the tide at this time. He could only be protected by his personal soldiers and rushed out of the camp and evacuated towards Rang County.

But he still hasn't figured it out. They have been keeping a close eye on the movements of Liu Biao's army, so where did this night attack team come from?
