Let's say that Yan Rou ordered his general Yan Zhi to lead two thousand troops to wander around Youbeiping, and scouts were all over the surrounding area, in order to find out the news of reinforcements from Jixian in time. Deep down, Yan Rou did not want to start a full-scale war with the Bingzhou Army.

, His purpose is only to right Beiping, but Xu You's plan is too touching for people to refuse. Once Youzhou is in chaos, even if the Jizhou army enters Youzhou, it will be difficult to change the overall situation.

Yan Zhi is the younger brother of Yan Rou. He is not weak in martial arts, but he is usually a bit too arrogant. This is also due to his status.

Not only Yan Rou's troops, but also Gongsun Kang and Tadun also selected a thousand cavalry from their subordinates. As soon as they got the news of Chen Dao, they immediately sent out troops. From the news coming from Jixian County, it can be seen that the troops rushing to support Youbeiping were infantry.

There are no more than a hundred cavalry in the army, and they are also used to gather information. Such a force is fragile in front of the cavalry, and only one charge can make these infantry disperse.

Once two thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry entangled Chen Dao's troops, the army that came later would engulf Chen Dao.

According to Xu You's guess, Chen Dao would lead his troops to Youbeiping in three days at most. After all, Chen Dao was leading infantry, which was inferior in speed.

Under the dark night, thousands of soldiers were heading towards Yan Zhi's camp. Their voices were very soft, but if there were experienced generals here, they would notice something was wrong from the buzzing of insects around them. Everything was too loud.

It's been too quiet.

In the camp, the patrolling soldiers walked in a messy manner, swaying as if they were drunk. They wished they could close their eyes and walk. After experiencing the siege, their nerves were also tense. The soldiers on the siege side suffered relatively heavy losses.

, they would see You Paoze leaving every day, and they felt lucky to be chosen to raid the reinforcements from Jixian County, at least they did not have to face the unknown death. Above the camp, soldiers in twos and threes gathered together,

There were whispers, and laughter could be heard occasionally. The soldiers in the army loved nothing more than women. They needed to release the pressure caused by the war.

The discussion gradually became quieter, and after the first watch, many soldiers leaned against the camp, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

It must be said that Yan Zhi was indeed very confident. Chen Dao did not find any obstacles such as antlers outside the camp. This was also Xu You's miscalculation, which made Yan Zhi relax. No one thought that Chen Dao's army could arrive so quickly.

After pulling away the antlers, Zhao Wu gave an order, and a blazing torch appeared in the soldier's hand, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Brothers, kill all these enemies." Zhao Wu shouted and thrust the spear in his hand hard. An enemy soldier who had not had time to make a sound fell to the ground.

The firelight alerted the soldiers above the camp. Many soldiers opened their eyes and saw the enemy soldiers holding torches charging toward the army. They hurriedly sounded the gongs in their hands.

Cries and firelight were mixed together, and Yan Zhijun fell into a sea of ​​fire. A thousand soldiers led by Zhao Wu were like tigers descending from the mountain. The crossbow arrows in their hands kept harvesting the lives of the enemy troops. How to launch the crossbow arrows

It was also mentioned in Lu Bu's letter to Chen Dao, that is, the classic three-stage shooting method of later generations. After the first round of soldiers fired the crossbows, they immediately leaned down to load the crossbows, the second round of soldiers made up for it, and the second round of soldiers loaded the crossbows.

At this time, the third round of soldiers used powerful crossbows to harvest the enemy troops, and so on. This method may not be as harmful as firing the crossbow arrows at once, but the advantage is that the crossbow arrows are endless, giving the enemy a sense of infinity, especially

When fighting against cavalry, the advantage is even more obvious.

Soldiers fell under the crossbows one after another. This army that was harvesting lives in the camp panicked the soldiers under Yan Zhi's command, and many soldiers fled in all directions.

However, the soldiers who escaped from the camp were surprised to find that there were enemy troops in both the south and the north, but there were no enemy troops in the west.

Yan Zhi was awakened from his sleep by the noise in the camp. He didn't have time to put on his armor and ran out of the camp with a spear.

"General, the enemy raided. I don't know how many people there are. There is chaos in the army." The deputy general rushed over with his face covered in blood and said anxiously. The blood on his body was mostly from his own soldiers. He was attacked in the middle of the night. To the soldiers

The most harmful thing is their own robes. The chaos will make them overwhelmed, and they will even point their swords and guns at their robes. Many soldiers have difficulty seeing things at night, which deepens their inner fear.

"Incompetent, waste." Yan Zhi gritted his teeth angrily. He was a general in Yan Rou's army. He had never suffered such a loss. This Chen Dao was just an unknown person. Thinking of being defeated at the hands of such a little person, his heart was full of unwillingness.

.

"General, move quickly. There are enemy troops in the east, south, and north." A general shouted.

"Inform the cavalry immediately." Yan Zhi suddenly thought of the cavalry not far from his camp and ordered hurriedly.

Seeing the defeated Wuhuan cavalry and Liaodong cavalry heading towards Wuhuan cavalry and Liaodong cavalry like sheep, Chen Dao showed a smile on his face. He did not take the two thousand soldiers under Yan Zhi's command seriously, but the power of two thousand cavalry

, but it should not be underestimated. The soldiers under his command have no experience in fighting cavalry. Even at night, once the enemy cavalry approaches, it will be a nightmare for the soldiers. And the defeated soldiers under Yan Zhi's command, if they can move towards

If he fled in the direction of the cavalry, that would be his chance.

These deserters are good shields. They can greatly slow down the speed of the cavalry and disrupt the formation of the cavalry. This is the time for the crossbowmen to show off their power. After ordering the scouts to investigate the surrounding news in detail, Chen Dao came up with this idea.

, so Zhao Wu was ordered to lead a thousand soldiers in a surprise attack, and the remaining soldiers were divided into two groups, ambush on the south and north sides of the camp, and drove the defeated soldiers towards the cavalry.

As early as when Yan Zhi's camp caught fire, Shanggu Wuwan Lord Nanlou noticed something was wrong and hurriedly ordered his cavalry to be on guard. After receiving Yan Zhi's order, Liaodong cavalry general Han Lu hurriedly found Nanlou. Unlike Wuwu

Huan Ren and Yan Rou, if they can successfully attack Youbeiping this time, Youbeiping belongs to Liaodong. Before coming, Gongsun Kang also specifically told him that Chen Dao's troops who came to help must be defeated.

"Nanlou, Yan Zhi has sent people to ask for help. If we don't send troops, I'm afraid Yan Zhi's troops will be completely destroyed." Han Lu said anxiously.

"It's pitch dark at this time. What should I do if Chen Dao is ambushed along the way? In my opinion, I should order my officers and men to be on guard to prevent the Youzhou army from attacking the camp." Nan Lou said.

Han Lu snorted coldly: "The attack on Chen Dao this time is mainly led by Yan Zhi. If you don't send troops, I will tell everyone the truth after returning to camp."
