Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After all the corresponding arrangements were properly set, Cao Cao, who was originally tired, found it difficult to fall asleep.

The naturally suspicious Cao Cao felt that it was very likely that Li Ji would send someone to raid the camp the more he thought about it.

Moreover, Cao Cao had a very deep understanding of Li Ji, and understood that in addition to Li Ji's planning, he especially liked to personally go to the front to observe the detailed movements of the enemy.

Once, during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Li Ji often went out to observe the terrain, and even personally approached to observe the deployment of troops on Hulao Pass several times.

'Perhaps, Zikun expects that Cao will be unprepared and come with the army to raid the camp, personally spying on the deployment and reaction of our army?'

Thinking of this, Cao Cao became inexplicably excited and hot, and sat up directly from the couch, got out of bed and walked back and forth for a while, feeling very eager and muttering.

'If Zikun is careless for a while and is captured by Cao, don't blame Cao for being rude.'

Once Li Ji was captured, there were many things Cao Cao could do.

In the most ideal state, nothing would be better than being able to persuade Li Ji to join him.

Liu Bei, who was originally a weaver and shoe seller, was able to dominate both sides of the Yangtze River with the assistance of Li Ji.

If Cao can get his help, why worry about the failure of his hegemony?

Getting Li Ji alone is better than getting 100,000 elite soldiers.

Moreover, even if Li Ji is unwilling to surrender for a while, holding Li Ji in his hand is enough to make Liu Bei afraid to act rashly, and it is not impossible to force Liu Bei to withdraw from Xuzhou.

It can be said that as long as Li Ji can be captured, the situation in Xuzhou will change drastically in an instant.

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that even if Li Ji came with the army to raid the camp, it was impossible for him to risk the arrows himself, and it was likely that he would stay in the safe area outside the camp for observation.

Therefore, Cao Cao had already transferred all the cavalry to Xiahou Dun to ambush outside.

As long as someone raided the camp, even if it was just to let Xiahou Dun lead the cavalry to search the surrounding area for the possible existence of Li Ji.

Cao Cao put on a robe and walked out of the camp, looking at the night sky covered by dark clouds without any light, and murmured.

"Zikun, will you come? If you don't come, Cao will find it difficult to fall asleep."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is also a good time to raid the camp.

Just as Cao Cao was standing outside the camp observing the night sky, a burst of rapid horns suddenly sounded on the east side of the camp.

'Enemy attack!'

This made Cao Cao couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy on his face and laughed loudly.

"Li Zikun has fallen into the trap!"

Cao Cao had arranged countermeasures early, and a large number of traps and ambushes were set up behind the gates of the villages.

The soldiers of the Cao army were also informed before going to bed that there might be enemy troops coming to attack halfway, and they were required to sleep in armor, and weapons should not be more than one zhang away from their bodies, so as to quickly assemble and fight back.

Therefore, in this horn sound, the entire Cao army camp, which had just fallen asleep not long ago, quickly woke up.

As long as the pre-arranged traps and ambushes delay the attacking enemy troops for a period of time, the continuous Cao army soldiers will be able to completely swallow the attacking enemy.

More importantly, the cavalry led by Xiahou Dun ambushing outside the camp will also quickly begin to search for Li Ji's whereabouts...

However, Cao Cao's smile only lasted for a moment, and then he realized something was wrong.

The movement from the east side of the camp was too small, and there was no sound of mixed fighting and wailing, etc.;

In addition, the time for the enemy to attack was not right.

It is only at midnight now, and the soldiers have not been asleep for long, and they are not sleeping deeply.

Generally speaking, the camp raid will be carried out around Chou time, which is the time when the soldiers sleep the deepest and it is the most difficult to react.

Immediately, Cao Cao quickly sent people to the east side of the camp to investigate and verify.

As the results were reported back, Cao Cao's face turned dark.

There were indeed traces of enemy troops on the east side of the camp. A small team of hundreds of riders rushed straight to Cao's camp, scaring the sentry to subconsciously blow the horn of enemy attack.

It's just that the hundred-rider team was feinting, showing superb riding and shooting skills, shooting and killing the sentry who blew the horn and some Cao army soldiers, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

White Horse Righteousness!

The plan to exhaust the enemy!!

In just a moment, Cao Cao understood Li Ji's plan.

From the beginning, Li Ji probably had no intention of attacking the camp by force. The cavalry that feinted and could cause damage by riding and shooting in the night must be the White Horse Righteousness.

This is probably intentionally harassing the Cao army's rest and exhausting the Cao army.

Since Li Ji has the idea of "exhausting the enemy", I am afraid this is just the beginning...

Suddenly, Cao Cao thought of something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a bad feeling quickly rose in his heart.

Xiahou Dun!

Cavalry!!!

"Quick, quickly send someone to let Yuan Rang withdraw to the camp."

...

At the same time, in an area far away from Cao Jun's camp.

Liu Bei and Li Ji were waiting for news from the front.

Originally, Li Ji planned to come by himself, but Liu Bei was not at ease, so he came along.

In this regard, Li Ji did not insist, and did not worry about encountering any danger because of this.

After all, in addition to a large number of tiger guards, there were also tens of thousands of cavalry guarding him.

In the plains, Cao Cao did not have the ability to encircle or trap tens of thousands of cavalry at all.

In the daytime confrontation between the two armies, the cavalry did not have any obvious effect against the lined-up infantry, so neither Liu nor Cao used the cavalry at all.

Therefore, after setting up camp and resting for a while, it did not affect the state of the cavalry at all.

Soon, the hundred-rider team that had just harassed Cao Jun's camp retreated. Tian Yu, with a solemn and rigid face, walked to Liu Bei and Li Ji, and was about to salute.

Liu Bei planned in advance.

"Guorang, you can skip those worldly rituals, and quickly report the situation."

Tian Yu nodded, and then quickly reported the results of the battle.

Among them, the number of casualties was almost glossed over, and the key was how Cao Jun transmitted the enemy attack signal.

As Han troops, some of the orders in leading troops to fight are the same, but there are many places that are not exactly the same.

For example: the "enemy attack" signal set by Li Ji in the camp is definitely different from the method set by Cao Cao.

Li Ji ordered Tian Yu to go to harass, the real key is to find out what the enemy attack signal of Cao Jun's camp is.

The answer is: a continuous short horn sound.

Suddenly, smiles couldn't help but appear on the faces of Liu Bei and Li Ji.

In this way, it will not be easy for Cao Jun to fall asleep tonight.

Just as Li Ji ordered people to distribute the prepared horns and ordered the three thousand White Horse Righteousness led by Tian Yu to be divided into three teams to go to the three directions of Cao Jun to harass Cao Jun with short horn sounds in three waves in rotation.

A cavalry scout rushed over quickly and reported.

"Reporting to the lord and the governor, a cavalry force of about three thousand is approaching this direction, about five miles away, and there is a possibility of encountering them."
