Chapter 961

When Yuan Tan was dragged from the bed by the guards, his eyes were still closed.

After two consecutive days and two nights of strong attack, although Xinpi replaced him, he was still exhausted. Yesterday, he made progress and broke through Sun Jian's third battalion and surrounded Sun Jian. Victory was in sight. He was very excited and rejected Xinpi's suggestion to let him go back to the camp to rest. He supervised the soldiers on the position to build camp and dig camp troughs. He did not return to the camp with satisfaction until they brought the river water in and completed most of the work.

When his wish was fulfilled, his physical strength reached its limit. He didn't even have the strength to wash. He fell on the couch and slept soundly. At this time, it was the time to sleep soundly. No matter how hard his personal guards called, his eyelids were as heavy as millstones and could not open them.

He knew that Sun Ce was nearby and arranged for the personal guards to be on standby at any time and sent a large number of scouts, but he still underestimated the danger and overestimated the professionalism of the scouts and the personal guards. When he was so tired that he fell asleep, the personal guards who had no supervision also relaxed their vigilance and did not play a quick response at all. When Ma Chao passed through their defense line, the personal guards did not understand what had happened.

Xin Pi walked in quickly and saw that Yuan Tan could not hold up like a pile of mud. He turned around and took up the plate of water that Yuan Tan had planned to wash yesterday, poured it on Yuan Tan's face. Yuan Tan was excited by the cold water and shivered. He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. It took him a long time to focus his eyes.

"George, what's wrong?" He immediately heard the sound of a gong calling the police, his scalp exploded, and he quickly got up and rushed out. Xinpi stopped him and pressed him back to the couch. Yuan Tan shouted in a hurry. "George, what happened?"

"It's nothing, Sun Ce just kicked the camp." Xinpi called his personal guards and asked them to change clothes for Yuan Tan. "Empress, Sun Ce has only two hundred cavalry, and no trouble can happen. At this time, you must use calmness to control your movements, and you cannot be confused, and you will fall into his trap if you mess around."

"Oh." Yuan Tan nodded repeatedly.

The guard was busy changing Yuan Tan's clothes. Yuan Tan's face was covered with water, his upper body was wet, and all his clothes had to be changed. Xin Pi sat aside, looking for his cheeks, and a ray of light flashed from time to time, reflecting the dark circles. Yuan Tan looked at him and noticed that Xin Pi's clothes were very neat and seemed to have not slept yet, at least not taking off his clothes.

The sound of the gong outside had stopped, and it was replaced by the sound of war drums, which was a drum that required the battalions to strictly guard their positions and not go out to fight without authorization. Yuan Tan felt ashamed when he thought of Xinpi's words. If it weren't for Xinpi, he would have been disorganized at this time, and his first reaction was to send someone to fight. If he did this, he would have fallen into Sun Ce's plan.

Sun Ce had only two hundred cavalry, so what would it be if all of them came in? There were as many as two thousand people in one battalion, as few as a thousand people. It would take him a while to stand and let him cut. When he finished one battalion, the other battalions were ready. But if the situation was messed up, the panicked soldiers could break through the entire battalion, and even spread to other battalions, causing the battalion. Once the battalion roar occurred, no one could control the situation.

He had just stepped on the edge of the cliff with one foot, and he would be crushed to pieces after another half of his step.

Yuan Tan became more and more afraid the more he thought about it. The water poured by Xinpi had been wiped dry, but his back was still cold and covered in cold sweat.

"George, thanks to you."

Xinpi frowned. "I can't figure out what Sun Ce wants to do. He doesn't think we are not prepared, right? What can two hundred riders do?"

"George, if it weren't for you, Sun Ce would probably have succeeded."

Xinpi shook his head. "He knows what kind of person I am, and he should also know Zhu Ling, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ang. Judging from his tactics of ambushing Wen Chou, he will only overestimate his opponent, not underestimate his opponent, and unlikely to hope for chaos in our army."

Yuan Tan originally felt that he understood very well, but after hearing what Xin Pi said, he realized that he had no idea what Sun Ce wanted to do. He was nervous and hurriedly changed his clothes, left the tent, came to the stage, and looked into the distance.

He quickly saw the direction of the enemy. A team of people moved quickly between the camps. Judging from the speed, it should be undoubtedly the cavalry, who were quickly approaching the central army camp from the periphery. Yuan Tan frowned and remembered Sun Ce's tactic of ambushing Wen Chou. It is said that more than ten cavalry suddenly came out of Xia Pavilion and caught Wen Chou off guard.

Could it be that he wanted to use the same trick again and raid my central army?

Yuan Tan quickly checked and shook his head again. He had more than 15,000 people, divided into eight battalions. The central army camp was in the middle, and the camp gate was closed, and the soldiers were all ready to respond, especially the camp gate was full of people, so it was not easy to rush in.

"It's broken, it's the baggage camp." Xinpi suddenly said.

Yuan Tan looked back and saw Xin Pi’s face turned pale and his eyes were frightened. He was also shocked and quickly looked towards the baggage camp.

Compared with other large camps, the logistics camp is the most chaotic. For two consecutive night battles, the consumption of each camp is very high, especially the soldiers who have just worked overnight need to eat, and the logistics camp needs to allocate supplies, which is much busier than other camps. Not only are the gates wide open, but there are also many soldiers waiting to receive supplies inside and outside the camp. Most of these people have no weapons and have no defense ability at all.

Xinpi's eyes turned red. "Empress, send personal guards out of the camp to block the attack immediately. Never let Sun Ce enter the baggage camp." As he said, he rushed down the general's platform and ran towards the last camp gate with the baggage camp.

Yuan Tan woke up at the beginning of his dream and quickly ordered his personal guards to find the personal guards, Sima, and asked them to go out of the camp to intercept them.

The baggage battalion is right next to the main camp of the Central Army. The main gate is opposite to a side gate of the Central Army camp, so that the main general of the Central Army can easily allocate materials and facilitate timely reinforcements in emergencies. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. This is common sense that anyone knows. The baggage battalion must be directly in the hands of the main general. Unless in special circumstances, each battalion only distributes rations for three days and comes to the baggage battalion every three days.

Xinpi ran and shouted, "Clutch the camp gate with a big truck, and block the camp gate with a big truck."

The soldiers on both sides looked at him for no reason, not knowing what he was calling. Xinpi was anxious and ran away and rushed to the camp gate, waved his hands repeatedly, signaling the soldiers guarding the camp gate to get out of the way, but couldn't say a word. The soldiers were puzzled and looked at him anxiously.

Just as Xinpi was watching, Ma Chao took the lead, ran along the passage between the two battalions, and rushed into the baggage camp. He took off the torch that had not yet been extinguished from the camp gate, lit the torch he brought, raised his hand, and threw the torch towards the closest food stockpile.

"Burn it for me, burn it all."

Pang De and others came in one after another, took off the torches filled with ointment from the horse's back, lit them on the fire in front of the tent, and rode their horses toward the tall grain stockpiles or the tents they saw along the way.

In an instant, thick smoke rose from the baggage camp.

Xinpi watched Ma Chao and others gallop in the baggage camp through the two camp gates, igniting grain storage tanks one by one, his legs were weak and his butt was sitting on the ground. Almost at the same time, Yuan Tan also sat on the podium, his face pale and without a trace of blood.
