Chapter 3373 A small choice

Xu Chu and others put out the torches, relying on their strength of their own abilities and their previous understanding of the Cao army camp, they quietly walked through the gullies of the earthen plateau and touched the camp gate area where Bao Zhong was.

Of course, Xu Chu would not go through those passages full of traps and fortifications, but climbed over the earthen plateau and passed through the land nests of the civilians in the Cao army camp.

Then Xu Chu discovered a very interesting problem, but also confuses him very much.

When Xu Chu was under the city of Anyi, he vaguely discovered this point, but he didn't have time to explore more, but at the moment, Xu Chu felt it was very obvious...

He could not incite, and even drove away the civilians and civilians in Cao's camp!

In Xu Chu's original understanding, even if these civilians and civilians did not rise up and follow Xu Chu and others and resisted Cao's army together, they would run around and bump into each other under the drive of instinct and create better combat opportunities for Xu Chu and others.

But, not.

These civilians would just hug each other and tremble. Even when passing by them, these civilians would not shout, shout, or run around.

It's like deaf and dumb...

This is very strange.

This surprised Xu Chu and raised his vigilance. He stopped and squinted his eyes at the land nests of the villagers.

These ground nests are like holes dug out from the underworld in the darkness. However, the people who were awakened in the ground nests do not step beyond the line, but just lying in the ground nests with their eyes open in the darkness. In the darkness, only the eyes reflected light from the fire, which seemed to be alive.

"These guys...

Xu Chu frowned, and he looked around and felt something was wrong.

It is said to be a camp for civilians, but it is actually a gathering place for the ground nests. There are no fences or walls, only pits on the ground, as well as the faces and eyes exposed in the pits, which seem to prove that the people in the ground nests are humans, or animals that look like humans.

These people who were held, driven away, and enslaved watched Xu Chu leave with others, and then watched Xu Chu come back with others, without moving, running, or calling, silently and obeying oneself.

Xu Chu waved his hand and said, "Check these nests!"

The soldiers under his command immediately rushed into the ground nest and lifted up the sheds of several ground nests in a row.

The men in the ground nests with the sheds were like marmots pried open the soil layer above their heads, screaming and hugging each other, without any resistance or running away.

『No weapons!』

"No Cao's army!"

"No!"

『…』

The successive reports did not eliminate Xu Chu's doubts, but instead made him even more puzzled.

"Strange..." Xu Chu walked to a ground nest with a roof lifted open.

The men in the ground nest hugged each other tightly and hugged in the corner. If they hadn't trembled from time to time, and rolled their eyes at Xu Chu, they would have thought that these guys were dead.

The smell in the ground nest was so stinking. Even if the ceiling was opened, it would not be dissipated for a while.

Xu Chu is very familiar with this odor.

This is the smell of dead people, the smell of rottenness.

These people...

Still alive, or dead?

In the Cao Jun camp in the distance, there was still chaos, and the figures swayed in the firelight, running, shouting, and roaring.

Screams were dripping blood.

Crying sounds, ups and downs.

Those things made Xu Chu feel normal...

These civilians are very abnormal.

Xu Chu looked around and saw that he was not worried that Cao Hong would find him. After all, it was a camp within a radius of twenty miles. Although it was not as exaggerated as Liu Huangshu's seventy miles, it was normal that the human heads were hit with dog brains, and it was just a normal time to receive information from behind. At night, whether it was a messenger or a golden drum flag to command soldiers, there was a very high delay.

Therefore, even if Cao Hong wants to launch a large-scale counterattack, it takes a certain amount of time. The more panicked the Cao army soldiers, the more relieved Xu Chu will feel. However, the civilians in front of him are so "being at peace with oneself" that Xu Chu feels strange...

"Why don't you run away or run?"

Xu Chu asked.

『…』

silence.

No one answered him.

All the civilians in the land nests are like deaf people or fools, and they cannot hear or understand what Xu Chu said.

『Say! Answer the general!』

A Hussar shook his bloody sword.

When I saw the bloody sword, someone whispered: "You can't run... If you run, you will die..."

Xu Chu was stunned.

What is the reason for this?

If you don’t run away, you won’t die?

『General, Cao Jun was not found to ambush...』

After patrolling, a Hussar soldier came to report.

Xu Chu was still puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. "Turn all these people out and let them run! Burn these sheds and let them run out!"

Since there are no weapons or ambush, let these people escape by themselves.

The Hussars responded in one after another, and then immediately pulled the torches and threw them on the sheds on the nests, pointing the direction for the civilians, "Everyone goes in that direction! Hurry up!"

In the perception of Xu Chu and the Hussars, these innocent people were considered innocent. Although they had no time to take them out of Cao's camp now, they pointed out a way and let them run out by themselves.

What Xu Chu never expected was that these civilians were indeed driven out by the Hussars and scattered out at first, but as soon as Xu Chu and others left, they had just turned over the earthen plateau. When Xu Chu turned around, he saw these civilians returning to their original place...

"This..." Xu Chu frowned.

What's the situation?

However, at this moment, Xu Chu had no time to look back and pay attention to it. He could only bypass the earthen plateau and touch Bao Zhong's butt.

It’s not that Xu Chu likes chrysanthemums, but that he is cautious.

...

...

In the central camp of Cao's army.

The most important thing about night battles is the effective transmission of information, and Cao Jun obviously had a big problem in this regard.

In the Cao army camp, the large and small camps were staggered, and the central camp where Cao Hong was located was not only a higher fence wall, but also a deeper trenches. Just opening the door, there were four places, high platforms, watchtowers, and arrow towers, which were densely packed.

It would be amazing to set up one or two sentry towers at the camp gate. In this central camp of Cao's army, there are not only defensive platforms for archers, but also weapons platforms for specially erected crossbows.

If you only look at the crossbows on the platform, the cold cold light stared at the fire and blood in other places, and it seemed calm and unmoved. But if you look below close to the ground, you will find that in the camp, the soldiers who were urgently traveling were running around sweating profusely, and they were in a panic, sank into the night and conveying orders...

So, is this a mountain that is still moving, or a frightened bird?

Looking at the fires ignited in the camp and the blood splattering, and listening to the fighting and screams everywhere, Cao Hong's face was as deep as water.

"Thief! It's really damn!" Cao Hong cursed angrily, "Everyone who istrayed his ancestors and forgot his ancestors will kill them!"

Before Bao Zhong rebelled, Cao Hong wanted to let Bao Zhong shout loyalty every day and thank him for his blessings every night. He volunteered to work overtime until his sudden death, and contributed the last drop of bone marrow to the Cao Family Group Co., Ltd. of the Han Dynasty.

Even when Cao Hong had already noticed complaints, complaints, or even when he was angry, he still didn't care and even gave a high point of guidance, "I don't know what's wrong with this person now, how could he have so much hostility?"

Do you really don't know?

Or pretend not to know?

Now that Bao Zhong has rebelled, Cao Hong is furious again, saying that Bao Zhong, a rebellious person, had long expected that he would be like this!

The company gave him such a good platform and gave him such a good display opportunity and growth environment. I didn’t expect that Bao Zhong was so ungrateful and vulgar and humble!

Then I felt strange again, why did the military academy that I arranged to monitor Bao Zhong’s soldiers and military schools be so easily dealt with?

Finally, I came to the conclusion that it was a bunch of waste!

However, Cao Hong also made some arrangements and mobilized some central guards to block the front and back positions of Bao Zhong. As a means of precaution, it seems that it does play a role now, blocking the movement range of Bao Zhong's troops.

Now, for Cao Hong, he needs to determine the next move of the cavalry...

In this way, he can make more targeted arrangements.

"General! The cavalry and thieves seem to be heading east! They burned the civilian camp!"

Looking up at the soldiers on the building shouted.

Because it is at night, it is not clear.

But the cries and the ignition of fire will more or less reveal some information.

"Going east? Going to Anyi City again?" Cao Hong was stunned. "Did you look carefully?"
