Stealing a camp is a technical job and an art of war.
Not everyone can do it well.
The first thing is to ensure that the enemy cannot detect it before launching the attack.
It is necessary to approach quietly and slowly, before the enemy has any clues.
When aware of the situation, suddenly appear and launch the most ferocious attack, so that the enemy is stunned, disrupted, and beaten so that they have no time to prevent defense.
This whole process must be done in one go.
Once the enemy has time to react and organize a defensive circle, then A sneak attack would be a failure.
How to approach the enemy quietly?
There are many things to pay attention to here.
First of all, you must not reveal your position.
You must not make any noise during the march.
You must use strict military discipline to restrain the soldiers and prohibit talking during the march. , cough, the horse's mouth should be wrapped, and the horse's hooves should be wrapped.
When marching, they should not walk in unison; if they are marching at night, no torches or lights should be lit.
When the sneak attack soldiers and horses have quietly approached the enemy, the only thing left is how to launch the attack.
This is very important, very important, but in general, the first principle is not to kill how many enemies, but to create Panic and confusion.
The more panic and confusion the enemy has, the less effective they will be in fighting and it will be difficult to organize resistance.
As for stealing camps, Liu Cheng had already done it once outside Yangzhai City, so he had some experience.
That operation was successful, but not perfect.
At least that's what Liu Cheng thought afterward.
If the enemy was a little more elite, One thing is that his losses were much greater than they actually were.
The last time he led his troops into the enemy camp, he did not create chaos and panic immediately, but killed the enemy.
After thinking about it afterwards, he felt that it was inappropriate.
This time he Decided to change the method of stealing camps.
In the middle of the night, with the cool breeze blowing, the march of an army of soldiers and horses suddenly stopped the chirping of frogs and insects in the surrounding fields.
Although the soldiers and horses made no sound or light during the march, the keen wild insects and The frogs still felt it.
With scouts who have scouted out the enemy's situation in advance to lead the way, the army does not need to worry about getting lost at night.
The scouts are very familiar with the road and can remember it after walking it once.
Only five miles away from the camp of Zhang Chao's army, the scout captain came over and reported to Liu Cheng: "General, Zhang Chao's army is not very vigilant.
There are no guard posts deployed outside the camp.
The camp is brightly lit, and most of the sentries are there.
Dozing off, there are occasional patrols in the camp.
In addition, their camp has no defensive measures.
There are no walls, fences, horses, archery towers and lookout posts.
There is nothing but tents all over the ground."
Liu Chengde's eyes widened and he said with some disbelief: "Is Zhang Chao here to participate in the alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo, or is he here for sightseeing?"
On the other hand, Wang Yue said: "My lord, I think this is not surprising.
Now this Qiao County is the rear area for the Guandong princes.
It is very safe, and Zhang Chao's army does not want to be stationed here for a long time, so in their opinion , but setting up a camp is troublesome.
There is no danger anyway.
Just set up the camp overnight and leave tomorrow.
However, there is one thing that makes the general confused.
It is said that there is a man named Zhang Chao under Guangling.
Zang Hong, Zang Hong’s father, Zang Min, once served as the general who protected the Huns, the prefect of Zhongshan, and the prefect of Taiyuan.
He should be a person who knows soldiers.
Didn’t Zang Hong learn a little bit about his ability to lead troops?

He said that Zhang Chao didn’t understand soldiers.
All said and done, after all, this man is a scribe, but Zang Hongnai comes from a family of generals, and he didn't know that the camp was like this.
At a glance, he knew that the person leading the army was a straw bag, otherwise how could the camp be defenseless?"
Just when Liu Cheng, Wang Yue and others were discussing Zhang Chao and Zang Hong, the two were sleeping soundly in the side room of the Qiao County government office.
Among them, Zhang Chao was holding two beautiful ladies in his arms, which could be said to be enjoying the best.
The blessing of Qi people.
Zang Hongyouyou woke up from a hangover and felt a splitting headache.
He sat up from the bed, shook his head vigorously, and opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that this was a side room.
There was a faint light on.
He shouted: "Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?"
A maid opened the door and came in with a greeting: "What are your orders, sir?"
When Zang Hong looked at the maid, he quickly lowered his head and looked at himself.
The armor was still on him and there was nothing strange about his body.
It was okay, okay.
Zang Hong rubbed his temples, stood up and asked, "Where are you and what time is it now?"
The maid replied: "My lord, this is the wing of the county government office.
It's already past midnight.
Your Excellency and Governor Zhang got drunk at the banquet.
My county magistrate asked the servants to help you and Governor Zhou to the wing to rest." , I didn’t expect that the two adults slept for a long enough time.”
"Why are you still in the county government office?
It's already midnight!"
Zang Hong was shocked and walked out immediately.
Qian walked to the door, stopped and turned around and asked: "Where is my prefect Zhang?"
“It’s in the next room” Zang Hong didn't hesitate anymore and immediately came to the next room.
Just as he was about to open the door and go in, he saw that the door was closed tightly.
He also remembered that Zhang Chao was usually a womanizer.
There were two women accompanying him during the dinner yesterday afternoon.
Who knew that Zhang Chao would be there at this moment?
Is there a woman around Chao who is sleeping with me?
Wouldn’t it be nice to rush in so rashly and encounter something embarrassing?
Zang Hong immediately knocked on the door and shouted: "Master Taishou, Master Taishou, Master" After a while, the door was opened, and Zhang Chao, with sleepy eyes and disheveled hair, appeared in front of him.
He saw Zang Hong outside the door, so he yawned and asked, "Ziyuan, what's wrong with you?
It's so late at night, aren't you?"
Sleep well, why are you knocking on my door?"
Zang Hong hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Prefect, you're having trouble drinking.
It's already past midnight.
We overslept.
We have to rush back to the camp outside the city.
There is no one to take charge of the camp outside the city.
I'm worried about my humble position."
"Hey, what are you worried about?"
Zhang Chao yawned continuously.
He was really sleepy.
He waved his hands and said, "This is Qiao County.

Do you still think that the enemy will attack our camp?
This is not Dong Zhuo's."
Territory.
Besides, my 20,000-strong army is here.
Are they all stupid?
Who dares to attack you?
I’m too nervous.
Okay, okay, go back to sleep.
We’ll go back to camp after breakfast tomorrow morning."
Seeing Zhang Chao's appearance, Zang Hong had no choice but to clasp his fists and say: "In that case, the prefect will rest here.
I will rush back to the camp overnight to take charge of the camp.
I will wait for you to return early tomorrow morning to break up the camp and set off."
Seeing that Zang Hong insisted on leaving, Zhang Chao also appreciated his dedication to his duties and agreed: "That's okay, you can go, but you have to say hello to County Magistrate Xu first and ask for a warrant to leave the city, otherwise it will be so late You can’t get out of the city” "promise" By the time Zang Hong obtained a warrant to leave the city from Magistrate Xu and was rushing towards the city gate, Liu Cheng had already quietly approached the Guangling military camp with his army.
A scout quietly came over and reported: "General, we have figured out the situation of the enemy's camp.
The Chinese army's tent is in the middle of the camp.
The tallest one is.
The grain and grass storage point is next to the Chinese army's tent.
The stables are next to the Chinese army's tent.
In the southwest corner, the soldiers' camps are arranged around the Chinese army's tent and the grain and grass storage point."
After hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately greeted: "Bring me a candle."
A candle was lit, and Liu Cheng and several thousand captains and village chiefs gathered around and squatted down.
Liu Cheng drew a dagger and drew a sketch on the ground based on the scout's description.
After thinking about it, he ordered: "The third thousand people The team charged in from the southwest, first set fire to the stables, and drove all the horses inside toward the camp.
Then they followed the frightened horses and killed the enemies when they encountered obstacles.
Join me in the tent."
"The 4000-man team entered the camp from the right and went straight to the grain and grass storage point.
Kill the enemy troops encountered on the way, but do not change the direction of the attack.
Set fire to all the tents passing by on both sides along the way.
After reaching the grain and grass camp, they must kill them.
Guard the enemy troops at the food and grass storage point and burn the food and grass.”
"The 5,000-man team and I will attack the Chinese army's tent from the front.
We will kill the enemies we encounter along the way, but we must not be reluctant to fight.
Our goal is to kill the enemy leader Zhang Chao."
"Remember, you must act quickly, never be sloppy, and must be fast, ruthless, and accurate."
All the generals clasped their fists together and said: "I obey" Liu Cheng stood up and said: "Okay, pass on the order, the whole army will light torches, and the three groups will attack at the same time."
Torches were lit one after another, and at Liu Cheng's order, the three groups of troops attacked at the same time.
It only took a few dozen seconds to cover a short distance of one mile.
The Guangling army in the camp was still sleeping, and Liu Cheng's army rushed forward.
Entered the camp.
Only a few Guangling troops woke up when Liu Cheng's army rushed into the camp.
Some people got out of the camp, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the rushing cavalry.
Torches were thrown on the tent.
The tent would catch fire, and a fire broke out instantly.
The Guangling Army soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the tent rushed out of the tent with lust, screaming and running around, and were finally killed alive.
Burn to death.

With fires blazing into the sky and thick smoke billowing, the 20,000 Guangling troops in the camp were completely in chaos.
They were suddenly attacked by unknown enemy troops while they were sleeping.
No one could remain calm under such circumstances.
They were least likely to be attacked.
The location was attacked, and the blow to morale was conceivable.
The stables in the camp were quickly set on fire.
Countless frightened horses rushed from the stables into the camp.
Each tent was knocked down.
Countless Guangling Army soldiers were killed and knocked away.
The uncontrollable group of frightened horses ran rampant in the camp.
The disaster caused was more tragic than the casualties caused by the Union cavalry rushing into the camp.
Liu Cheng led the 5,000-man team to charge all the way, killing countless Guangling troops, and rushed into the Chinese army's tent without any hindrance.
After several Guangling soldiers around the Chinese army's tent were killed, the tent There was no movement inside.
Several cavalrymen rushed into the tent and soon came out to report: "General, there is no one in the tent."
Liu Cheng frowned and immediately said: "Quick, grab two prisoners."
The guards quickly brought in several prisoners, and Liu Cheng shouted: "Tell me, where is Zhang Chao?"
The captives were so frightened that they lost control of their urine and said in horror: "General, spare your life.
Prefect Zhang and Zang were invited by Qiao County Magistrate to have a drink in the city, and they have not returned yet."
Liu Cheng suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the defense of this camp is so lax.
Zhang Chao, who does not understand military affairs, is not here, and Zang Hong, who understands military affairs, is not here.
It is strange that the defense of this camp is not lax.
After learning the truth, Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Kill" At this time, Zang Hong had just walked to the city gate.
Before he could show Magistrate Xu's warrant to the gate defenders, he heard the defenders on the city wall shouting in panic: "It's not good, it's not good, there are enemies."
The army made a surprise attack on the camp outside the city."
Zang Hong's face changed drastically when he heard this.
He ignored the obstruction of the city gate defenders and rushed up to the city wall.
He saw the flames soaring into the sky in the camp outside the city.
Countless Guangling Army soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies in the camp.
There were many people...
He ran away into the night outside the camp.
Zang Hong sat down on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's all over":
