In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
Zhu Ling was already unfazed: "Here we go again, I won't fall for it! Just keep a close watch!"
"General, someone's coming!" his subordinate reported.
Zhu Ling hurriedly went out and found a large group of cavalry approaching the camp within thirty paces, raining arrows at the soldiers on night watch.
How come they have so much energy?
Zhu Ling didn't understand, but there was nothing she could do. They had come to this place, and she had to guard it closely!
However, when Zhu Ling woke up another group of people to defend the camp.
In the darkness, these cavalrymen fired a volley of arrows here and another volley at the next spot, waking up all of Yuan's troops!
By the time Yuan's army came out of their camp to defend, they had already run off to the next location!
Thus, Yuan's army was harassed by these cavalry until the middle of the night, and no one could sleep peacefully.
Because Yuan Shao ordered that no one was allowed to leave the camp to pursue, these cavalrymen who came to launch a surprise attack took the opportunity to harass the enemy from all sides.
Until they ran out of arrows, they quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Why are they like night owls, never getting tired, when they are all human?
Yuan Shao and Zhu Ling were puzzled.
It turned out that Liu Wei had set up camp at the foot of the hill around noon, and at the same time, he let Wang Fangyi's entire guard battalion get a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, Yuan Shao's five thousand cavalrymen pursued him all the way from Wuji, covering a distance of sixty or seventy li in a day, leaving both men and horses exhausted.
Once they set up camp, everyone wanted to sleep.
This created a half-day time difference between the Imperial Guard and Yuan Shao's cavalry.
On one side are special forces cavalrymen who are well-rested and full of energy, and on the other side are cavalrymen who have been running non-stop all day.
The constant harassment throughout the night kept Yuan's cavalry from sleeping soundly, and they kept yawning.
The loudest sound in the entire Yuan army camp was probably yawning.
After the Imperial Guards harassed the area around Yuan's army camp, they caused chaos among the soldiers inside.
"This is it!"
Wang Fangyi was in high spirits and had sharp eyes. Facing the Yuan army's camp, which was heavily fortified with deer antlers and barricades, he found a way to break through!
The purpose of the raid was to incite hatred against Yuan's army.
Liu Wei was worried that Yuan Shao would not be able to hold them off if he saw that they only had a little over a hundred men, so he sent out his guards to launch a sneak attack and harass them.
If Yuan Shao doesn't sleep well tonight, he'll become even more anxious tomorrow and won't be able to remain calm when facing problems.
This is exactly the effect Liu Wei wanted.
The more impatient Yuan Shao became, the more stubbornly he would refuse to budge.
If capturing Yuan Xi and killing Han Meng were like setting a trap, then tonight's harassment is like baiting Yuan Shao's trap.
Liu Wei will reappear tomorrow as bait, and Yuan Shao will surely take the bait!
Yuan's army hasn't arrived yet!
After all, Wang Fangyi and his men were riding horses and circling around outside Yuan's army camp.
The tents in the main camp were relatively close together, and Yuan's army did not have time to ride horses, so they could only rely on foot, and thus they were constantly chasing after the guards.
Wang Fangyi used his spear to pierce the deer's antlers and remove the barricade.
One hundred fully armed guards filed in.
They were selected from the Xuanjia Cavalry and the White Robe Army, each one a top choice, like 100 Xing Daorongs or Pan Fengs.
They probably couldn't beat Yan Liang and Wen Chou in a one-on-one fight, but beating up ordinary soldiers would be a piece of cake.
Immediately, they charged left and right through Yuan's army camp, engaging in fierce fighting.
They overturned the brazier, pulled out the burning wood from the campfire, and set fires everywhere in the camp, causing soldiers to scatter in panic.
"Damn it, what was Zhu Ling thinking? He actually let them break in!" Yuan Shao was woken up again and saw the chaos in the camp. He was furious.
"My lord, these people are truly despicable. We will organize our troops now and take them down!"
"A mere hundred men think they can raid our camp? Don't be delusional!"
Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou had dark circles under their eyes and kept yawning, they mustered their spirits when they heard that the enemy had rushed in and thought of their weapons, horses, and armor.
"Alright, you two go quickly, but it's best to be careful!"
Yuan Shao's Hebei trident, Han Meng, is already dead, and he doesn't want Yan Liang and Wen Chou to suffer any mishaps.
"Rest assured, my lord, we will capture him with ease!"
The two had already donned their armor and, with their personal guards, charged towards the most chaotic part of the camp.
However, when the two hurriedly arrived at the place where the guards had passed, it was in complete disarray, with soldiers running around everywhere.
The horse-tethering posts were also cut down, and the warhorses were running around everywhere.
The enemy, however, did not linger in battle and had already cut across the camp, leaving the camp far behind.
They came quickly and left quickly, leaving Yan Liang and Wen Chou completely bewildered.
The two of them felt like they'd already taken their pants off, and you were showing them the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?
They returned to Yuan Shao's side dejectedly.
"How awful, they're gone!"
After several upheavals, although many of Yuan's troops died, the biggest problem was that they couldn't get any sleep.
Yuan Shao rubbed his temples and cursed at Liu Wei to the north.
Liu Wei was a scoundrel and cunning man, and his cavalrymen agreed to the same thing.
After finishing his rant, he looked up and saw that the morning star had already lit up in the east, and a faint glow had appeared on the distant horizon.
I never expected that they would keep me up all night.
It's almost dawn, how can I possibly continue sleeping?
"It's dawn, everyone wake up!"
Yuan Shao roared in fury, "Before they've gone far, let's send out the whole army and surround them like dumplings!"
Immediately, a commotion broke out in Yuan Jun's camp.
The soldiers, still half-asleep, forced themselves to pack their bags and clean up the scene.
About an hour later, when the sun shone on the plain from the east, the five thousand Yuan army cavalry were ready and waiting to set off.
After Yuan Shao gave the order, Yan Liang was on the left, Wen Chou on the right, and Yuan Shao led Xu You and Zhu Ling in the middle, marching north in a grand procession.
