Chapter 276
Li Dian didn't have time to think about it, and rode straight to the camp wall.
Raise your eyes and take a breath of cool air.
I saw that in the woods outside the camp, countless fires flickered, and it seemed that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were overwhelmingly attacking.
"There are so many Han troops, at least twenty or thirty thousand people, could it be that Zhang He discovered the dark spring and killed the whole division?"
Li Dian looked flustered, and his face was in chaos.
The colonel shouted: "General Li, the Han army is about to come in, what should we do?"
Li Dian clenched his fists and scolded secretly: "Cao Hong, Cao Hong, you think you are smart, after all, someone discovered the dark water source, and I was killed by you!"
The situation of this remote camp is not dangerous, and he has only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he can only defend it in the face of ten times the Han army's attack.
The killing of the Han army outside the camp was near, and the two thousand Qin soldiers were frightened before they could fight.
Li Dian hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Eighty-seven-three": "Order, the whole army abandons the camp and retreats to Luoyang!"
The generals were amazed.
The adjutant general hurriedly said: "General Cao ordered us to guard the dark spring, general, you abandoned the camp and left, violating General Cao's order, do you have to be dealt with by military law?"
"The edict given to us by the King of Qin is to make us stick to the Jieting City, and it is General Cao who is clever and disobeys the edict of the King of Qin first. "
"The dark spring of reality has been discovered by the Han army, and there is no point in me holding it any longer, I will only lose 2,000 soldiers in vain. "
"I'm here to preserve my strength for King Qin!"
Li Dian's reason was high-sounding and suppressed the doubts of the lieutenant general.
"Retreat quickly, all the responsibility is borne by the general!"
Li Dian whipped his horse and whipped his horse, and then went to the west camp.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, the adjutant generals didn't care about any military orders, and followed Li Dian out of the western camp.
Two thousand Qin soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that the Han army had not yet been encircled, abandoned the dark spring and fled in a hurry.
The Han army captured the enemy camp without spending a single soldier.
Deng Ace took his horse and stepped into the camp with his head held high, looking at the direction of the enemy's hasty escape, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic sneer.
Zhang He only gave him 5,000 soldiers.
Although it can be captured by storming the enemy camp, there are bound to be many casualties.
As soon as Deng Ai had an idea, he ordered his soldiers to hold more torches, creating a momentum of tens of thousands of troops.
As he expected, Li Dian in the camp was frightened by the momentum of the Han army, thinking that Zhang He's whole division was coming, so he was frightened and fled without a fight.
"Quickly report to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and General Zhang, and say that we have captured the Qin army's dark water source!"
"No!"
...
The east is whitish, and the valley cliff is accumulated.
Cao Hong got up early in the morning, prepared to wash, and after washing, as usual, he inspected the camps.
When the soldiers saw him rising, they hurriedly went to fetch water and prepare to wash him.
"General Cao, it's not good, something is wrong!"
A moment later, the soldiers rushed into the tent in a panic with empty basins.
Cao Hong glared at him and shouted, "What are you yelling about!"
The soldiers shouted in a trembling voice: "General Cao, our dark water source is broken!"
Cao Hong's face changed suddenly, and his originally lazy face was replaced by surprise in an instant.
"Say whatever you say, tell me again!"
Cao Hong grabbed the pro-soldier and asked.
The soldier cried and said: "The little one went to the cliff to get water, only to learn that the water source at the bottom of the mountain was cut off yesterday night, and he couldn't bring up a bucket of water!"
Cao Hong chuckled in his heart, threw down the personal soldier, and rushed out in a hurry.
Out of the big tent, go straight to the direction of Nanying.
At this time, the cliff side was already crowded with soldiers, carrying empty buckets and looking down, and there was a lot of discussion in their mouths.
"What the hell is going on, why is there no water?"
Cao Hong asked angrily.
"Back to General Cao, there were fires at the foot of the mountain yesterday night, and there seemed to be a faint sound of killing. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"We didn't know what was going on, but we put the bucket down and wanted to carry the water as usual. "
"Who would have thought that the brothers in the camp on the back of the mountain didn't fill us with water, and all the buckets we brought up were empty!"
There are fires under the mountain, and there are still sounds of killing?
Cao Hong shuddered, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.
"Could it be that Zhang He actually discovered my dark spring?"
"Impossible, that dark spring is so hidden, how could Zhang He find out!"
Cao Hong didn't want to face the reality, so he shouted: "Put the barrel down again, try again!"
The soldiers had no choice but to put down dozens of barrels under the cliff.
After a long time, the barrel was brought up, but it was still empty.
"Li Dian, what the hell are you doing~~"
Cao Hong was angry and anxious, roaring and scolding.
The news of the cut off of the dark water source soon spread throughout the camp, and the Qin army suddenly fell into a panic.
The morale of the Qin army is falling into the predicament of rapid disintegration0 ....
At the foot of the valley cliff, in the Han camp.
Zhang He has put away the good news sent back by Deng Ai.
"Chang Su Cheng is really like a god, Cao Hong, there is indeed a dark water source hidden in the back of the mountain!"
Zhang He looked at Xiao Yuan with a happy and admiring gaze.
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and said: "The dark water source has been cut off, and Cao Hong can't get up, let's trap him for a few days, and when he can't stand his thirst, he will come down the mountain to die!"
"Exactly. "
"Come on, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, I will give you a glass at the end. "
Zhang He smiled and raised his wine glass.
Xiao Yuan also raised his glass, and the two laughed and drank each other.
In the next three days, Zhang He was patient and continued to besiege Jigu Cliff without attacking.
Because Cao Hong was confident that the dark water source would not be discovered, there was no water storage on the mountain in advance, and once the dark water source was cut off, the mountain was completely cut off in less than half a day.
In three days, the 8,000 Qin army was tormented by thirst, and the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.
Several lieutenant generals couldn't stand the thirst, so they made a statement to Cao Hong, and while the morale had not collapsed, the whole army went down the mountain to break through.
In this way, even if the losses are heavy, they can finally fight their way out and save their lives.
Cao Hong flatly refused.
Cao Hong knew very well that once he broke through and fled, Jieting would fall into the hands of the Han army.
The street pavilion is the gateway to Longxi, once lost, 300,000 Han troops will be unimpeded, swarming into the Longxi Plain.
At this time, Cao Cao was also leading the main force to attack Chang 1.7 An from Anding County.
In the meantime, not only Cao Cao's surprise attack plan will fail, but the counties of Longxi will also be unprotected, and he Cao Hong will become the sinner of the Cao family.
Cao Hong was determined to continue to defend the Jigu Cliff, hoping to survive until the day when Cao Cao's surprise attack on Chang'an was successful and the Han army was forced to withdraw.
Unfortunately, this is just his wishful dream.
On the fourth day of the water cut, finally a soldier couldn't stand the torture of thirst, secretly opened the camp gate, rushed down the mountain to surrender to the Han army.
This was an obvious signal, which made Xiao Yuan judge that the spiritual will of the Qin army on the Jigu Cliff was close to disintegrating.
All the Han army had to do was add a handful of frost to the snow.
So Xiao Yuan proposed to Zhang He to mobilize crossbowmen and launch rockets on the Jigu Cliff.
Zhang He gave an order, and five thousand rockets took off into the air and roared towards the Qin army on the Jigu Cliff.
