After several rounds of arrow rain, they stopped shooting.
Zhou Cang shouted: "Blow the horn!"
The order was passed on, and the high-pitched horn sounded continuously in the night sky.
The sudden sound of the trumpet made the soldiers in Cao's camp even more panicked.
On such a dark night, the roads were muddy, which was not conducive to an army attack.
It was impossible for Cao Cao to lead his troops out in the dark, so the one hundred soldiers led by Zhou Cang were very safe.
After a while, the horn sound stopped again.
When Zhou Cang saw the figures in Cao's camp and all the soldiers were drawn out, he immediately ordered: "Withdraw" With an order, a hundred soldiers retreated slowly.
Cao Cao got out of bed and hurried out as soon as he was fully dressed.
However, when he walked out of the camp, it was quiet outside the camp.
There was no movement at all, only the noisy sounds in the camp.
"Look, look, there are silk scarves tied to the bow and arrow."
"Ah, our food and grass have been robbed."
"It's over, it's over now.
The food and grass have really been robbed.
Even General Cao Ren was captured and became a prisoner.
Now there is no food in the army, what should we do?"
Many soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands.
After taking them apart and reading them, there was a lot of discussion.
Seeing the news that the food and grass had been robbed, the soldiers suddenly became panicked.
Each soldier showed a worried look on his face, and the idea of meritorious service was immediately thrown out of his mind.
Cao Cao walked out of the camp and saw the soldiers talking among themselves.
Xia Houyuan took a bow and arrow, walked quickly to Cao Cao, and reported: "My lord, this is the bow and arrow that was shot into the camp just now.
The silk scarf tied to the bow and arrow indicates that Wang Can has captured Zixiao, and The food and grass were robbed.
Now that all the soldiers know about the food and grass being robbed, the morale of the army is in turmoil.
Please make a decision, my lord."
"Ho ho" Cao Cao grabbed the bow and arrow, threw it on the ground, and made a roaring sound in his throat.
His face changed drastically, showing an expression of indignation.
At night, he had decided to send troops to attack Wang Can early tomorrow morning before the news spread.
However, Wang Can suddenly made such a move and disrupted his plan, making Cao Cao very angry.
The morale of the army is low and the morale of the army is unstable.
It will definitely be difficult to fight.
Xi Zhicai came over and whispered: "Master, if you want to boost morale at this time, you must show a sharp weapon that can defeat Wang Can.
Push out the knife cart to encourage the soldiers."
One sentence immediately woke up Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao pondered for a moment, he did not say to retreat immediately, nor did he say to immediately lead troops to attack Wang Can's camp, nor did he mention the sword and cart.
He ordered: "Let all the soldiers go back to the camp to rest and recuperate."
After giving the order, all the soldiers returned to the camp one after another.
Cao Cao glanced at the other generals, waved his hand, and ordered: "Okay, let's all go back to our respective camps to rest."
After speaking, Cao Cao turned and left.
Xi Zhicai blinked, with a puzzled look on his face.
What he said just now was to let Cao Cao push out the sword cart he had made to strengthen the confidence of the soldiers so that they could fight Wang Can to the death.
However, Cao Cao tepidly asked the soldiers to go back to rest without saying anything, which made him suspicious.
After shaking his head, Xi Zhi went back to the camp in confusion.
Seeing this, the other generals also sighed and returned to their respective camps.

Nothing happened all night, and the next morning.
When it was dawn, Cao Cao had already woken up.
After he got dressed, washed, and had breakfast, he found the soldiers and ordered: "Beat the drum and call all the soldiers in the camp to assemble."
The rumble of drums sounded, and the soldiers quickly gathered in the camp.
A red sun rose and the weather cleared up.
Cao Cao wore armor and a sword hanging from his waist.
His body was not tall, but he was as tall and strong as a pine tree.
He glanced across all the soldiers in the camp, and his heart suddenly sank when he saw that the soldiers' faces still showed worried expressions.
Seeing this, Cao Cao had no expression on his face.
He looked at Cao Hong seriously and shouted: "Where is Cao Hong?"
Cao Hong walked out quickly, clasped his fists and said, "The final general is here."
Cao Cao ordered: "Push out all the sword carts made in the camp."
"promise" Cao Hong replied, then ordered his soldiers to push out all the sword carts stationed in the camp.
I saw knife carts coming slowly one after another.
In front of the frame of each knife cart were twenty-four gleaming steel knives.
The steel knives were so sharp that once they penetrated the body, there was no chance of escape.
The sword cart appeared and immediately attracted the soldiers' attention.
Cao Cao pointed to the sword cart and shouted: "Soldiers, do you see this?
This is a weapon made in the camp to deal with Wang Can's soldiers.
With the sword cart to charge, as long as you push the sword cart up, you can defeat Wang Can."
Can's camp can overwhelm Wang Can's cavalry and kill Wang Can's infantry.
With swords and chariots, what are you afraid of?"
Cao Cao looked at the soldiers, but the soldiers were hesitant.
Apparently, the soldiers were still worried about food.
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Although three months' worth of food was taken away, there is still one month's leftover food in the army, which is enough to support us in defeating Wang Can.
As long as we defeat Wang Can, the food in their camp will be We don’t have to worry about starvation.
Besides, Chang’an City still has a lot of food, and we can replenish it as long as we invade Chang’an.”
"We still have a month of food left, enough to sustain us for a month.
Are we going to retreat?
No, we will never retreat.
We have created extremely sharp knife carts.
With the knife carts to kill the enemy, why are we still afraid of Wang Can?
No, Don’t be afraid to defeat Wang Can and take control of Chang’an, all problems will be solved.”
After the soldiers heard this, they started talking among themselves.
At this time, the hesitation on the soldiers' faces disappeared, replaced by looks of excitement.
What impressed the soldiers most was the knife, cart, and a month's worth of food.
When Xi Zhicai heard Cao Cao's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He knew best how much food was left in the army.
Not to mention a month's food surplus, there was not even half a month's food left.
However, what Cao Cao needs is to stabilize the morale of the army.
As long as it can last for two or three days, victory or defeat will already be answered.
By then, the issue of food and grass will no longer be an issue.
Cao Cao looked at the moved soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, for your families and for your own future, fight, go defeat Wang Can and make achievements.
We left Yanzhou sworn to make achievements. , do you want to flee back to Yanzhou in despair and be despised by the fellow villagers?"
"What do you think?"

Cao Cao suddenly pulled out his sword and roared at the sky.
"In no mood" The soldiers roared loudly, and a sound like thunder suddenly sounded.
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips, and he shouted: "Since you don't want to be disliked or looked down upon by others, then fight.
Only by fighting can you make achievements, fight, fight, fight."
Cao Cao was full of passion, his cheeks were red, and his eyes were filled with excitement. look.
This battle will be a decisive battle between him and Wang Can, and who will stay to attack Chang'an will be decided accordingly.
"war" "war" The soldiers responded loudly, all thinking of charging forward to fight bravely.
A month's surplus of food and the sword carts placed in the camp successfully aroused the soldiers' warlike intentions.
Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled proudly. s: The fourth update is completed.
I will call it a day and take a rest.
I will continue to ask for support with flowers and collections
