Chapter 671: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
"We are willing to serve the king. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The soldiers under the city were forced to kneel down to Gou Jian, showing their loyalty to Gou Jian.
However, the cry of loyalty was neither loud nor neat, and it was rather reluctant to appear scattered.
It's no wonder that these soldiers are not out of their hearts, so they are working for Gou Jian, they are just forced to do so, how can they show loyalty from the heart.
Gou Jian was a little satisfied, his eyes fell on Zhang Ren, and he said solemnly: "General Zhang, all this depends on you, and the life and death of my Dashu are all on your shoulders." β
Zhang Yiyi arched his hand and said angrily: "The king can rest assured, the last general will fight for his life to defeat the potters for the king, and protect my Dashu Sheji for 10,000 years." β
Gou Jian was a little satisfied, his cold eyes turned to the direction of Wei Ying outside the city, took a deep breath, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Pass on the king's order, open the city gate, and the whole army will be out!" β
The order was given to go out, the closed city gate creaked open, the drawbridge slowly opened, and the city gate opened.
Zhang Ren, who had been ordered, had already gone down to the city, turned over and got on his horse, shot coldly in the direction of Wei Ying outside the gate, waved the war knife in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army set off to sweep Wei Er for Dashu." β
In the midst of the loud cheers, Zhang Ren rode his horse and whipped, and rushed out of the city gate with a knife, stepped over the suspension bridge, and went straight to the direction of Wei Ying.
Li Yan, Meng Da, Li Hui and other Shu generals also followed, and after that, there were nearly 17,000 Shu soldiers, except for nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in the city, all went out of the city, followed the Shu generals, and went straight to the Wei camp.
Above the city, Gou Jian stood still, looking at the departing army from afar, watching them disappear into the darkness, and in his wrinkled eyes, a trace of anticipation was quietly ignited, and his face was also a little cold and arrogant.
"Potter, tonight's battle, I have to drive you out of the Chengdu Plain, if you want to destroy my Dashu, it is impossible!"
β¦β¦
Wei Ying.
It was late at night, and the camp was brightly lit, and there was silence except for the snoring that came and went.
To the west of the camp, along the length of a hundred paces of the camp wall, footsteps rang out from time to time, and it was a group of sentries patrolling the camp.
On the inside of the camp gate, there were thirty or forty soldiers, although the night was dark, they all looked alert, always vigilantly looking in the direction outside the camp.
It was pitch black outside, surprisingly quiet, and nothing unusual as usual.
In the camp, all the soldiers in the battalion seemed to have fallen asleep, and it was also quiet.
It seems that it will be another night of idleness.
However, this is only a faΓ§ade.
Looking inside from the dark camp, it seems that everything is normal in the Wei camp, but in the camp tent, there is no one in the tent, but there are many straw men, and the grass men under the light create the illusion that there are people inside.
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers have long been wearing armor and holding blades at this moment, quietly hiding in the depths of the camp, hiding in the dark, with a pair of excited eyes, staring at the outside of the camp at all times, looking at the arrival of the enemy.
On top of the sturdy war horse, the potter carried a war knife in his hand, and the red cloak on his back hunted and flew in the night wind, and the eagle's eyes were like blades, and he looked coldly out of the camp.
Behind him and to the left and right, tens of thousands of Wei Camp soldiers, like ghost soldiers hidden in the darkness, although silent, but quietly filled with a trace of cold and fierce murderous intent
The entire camp is like a volcano about to erupt, ready for a long time, just waiting for that critical moment to come.
Unconsciously, an hour had passed, and the soldiers had been stationed in the night for a long time, but none of them had a complaining or anxious expression on their faces.
All the soldiers of the Wei army, like lifeless terracotta warriors, stood in the dark, and their morale and fighting spirit increased instead of decreasing.
Looking at these steel-like Wei soldiers, Wu Yi felt a sense of admiration in his heart, nodded slightly, and secretly thought: "King Wei can dominate the world, not only is he wise and brave, but even the most ordinary soldiers under his command are all elite soldiers, and the Shu army cannot be compared, so strange that Liu Zhang will be defeated in successive battles and fall to such a state......"
Time passed minute by minute, and another half hour had passed, and nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers had been standing in the night wind for two full hours.
Suddenly, the slightly tired faces suddenly burst into excitement, and everyone moved.
A pair of eyes suddenly ignited a fierce and excited battle intent, and the weapons in his hands were also tightly clenched, and the battle intent suddenly boiled.
They heard the sound of killing, and on the west side of the camp wall, the mountains roared like a tsunami, and the sound of killing shook the sky and tore apart the silence of the night.
The enemy has arrived, and it's finally time to kill again!
In the minds of all the Wei soldiers, this excited thought almost invariably burst into their minds.
The fighting spirit was ignited in an instant.
All the soldiers immediately became excited, and began to hold back their fighting spirit, and they were all eager to try, but the potter was still as calm as a mountain, and there was no trace of waves in the eagle's eyes.
"King, report to the king, nearly 20,000 Shu troops suddenly arrived, broke through our perimeter line, and broke through the camp and entered!" The scouts who rushed to the potter loudly presented the good news to the potter.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies suddenly became excited, and their eyes looked at the potter with admiration.
"King, you are really like a god, look at the people and thieves, that Li Hui is really right, Liu Zhang's turtle son really came to rob our camp, you are too godly." Fan Xu, who was excited, shouted at the potter excitedly and in admiration.
The corners of the potter's mouth raised slightly, and a sneer swept up, and in the eagle's eyes, the killing machine flashed like thunder and lightning.
After taking a light breath, the war knife in the pottery merchant's hand was slowly raised, the blade pointed in the direction of the killing sound, and said coldly: "Since Liu Zhang sent it to the door by himself, then what else do we have to be polite, the whole army will do its best, and kill this king tonight, to the point that the Shu people can't even recognize their parents." β
The heroic command echoed in the darkness, and in an instant, it actually overshadowed the killing sound of the enemy troops outside the camp, and ignited the fighting spirit of the officers and men of the three armies in an instant.
"Kill all the Shu dogs!" Fan Xu was the first to wave his arms and shout angrily.
"Kill all the Shu dogs-"
"Kill all the Shu dogs-"
Thousands of Wei soldiers on the left and right shouted frantically, and the earth-shattering sound of killing easily swallowed and suppressed the enemy's shouts.
In the next second, the potter took the lead, breaking through the wind, like a black wind, crashing out of the darkness and killing the enemy soldiers.
The soldiers of the Wei army behind him followed closely, carrying the momentum of the landslide and the ground cracking, surging out of the darkness, rolling like a tide, rushing towards the enemy army who broke into the camp.
Wei Jun appeared!
Hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers fought out of the dark hinterland, through empty tents, and rushed to the front line of the camp wall.
On the front line of the camp wall, Zhang Rencai had just led his soldiers to break through the wooden wall, broke into the camp, and entered the Wei camp with the fury of revenge.
Seeing that the sentries of the Wei camp were defenseless and scattered, and the soldiers in those tents did not have time to go out of the camp to defend the palace, the Shu army was all ecstatic.
They knew that their plan to rob the camp had succeeded, and the Wei army was really defenseless, and now, they could use a crazy killing to kill the Wei army by surprise and completely wash away the shame of defeat in the battle.
"The pottery thief is really defenseless, God bless me Dashu, God bless me Dashu-" Zhang Ren was even more excited and laughed, and he was about to wave his army into the bloody land of Wei Ying, preparing to kill him happily, and rebuild his prestige as the first general in Shu.
In the next second, Zhang Ren's arrogance was easily broken.
The earth-shattering sound of killing sounded in his ears, and the ground under his feet was rumbling and shaking, as if countless giant beasts were about to break out of the ground and devour them mercilessly.
Zhang Ren's smile swept suddenly, and when he raised his eyes and looked forward, he saw countless Wei troops coming out of the darkness like a tide, boundless, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and appeared in front of him in an instant.
Ambush!
It was an ambush of the Wei army.
In an instant, Zhang Ren changed color, Li Yan changed color, Meng Da changed color, and the Shu soldiers were all shocked and frightened, and they fell into panic in an instant.
But only Li Hui raised a knowing sneer at the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly.
"How can this be, the Wei army actually has ambush soldiers, could it be that our strategy has been seen through by the Wei thief, how is this possible......"
Zhang Ren froze in place, stunned and speechless, his face was shocked and distorted.
"What's the matter, how can our plan to rob the camp be known to the pottery thief in advance, even if the pottery thief is treacherous, it is impossible to be so deceitful?" Li Yan also shouted in surprise, his expression was full of panic.
The Shu army fell into a daze in an instant, and no one could have imagined that Li Hui, who was beside them, had secretly defected to the pottery merchant and revealed the news that they were going to rob the Wei camp to the pottery merchant, otherwise how could the Wei army have been prepared.
In the panic, Zhang Ren suddenly came to his senses, his face was panicked, and he shouted: "We have all been tricked, quickly withdraw our troops back to Wuyang, and withdraw our troops immediately!" β
Before the order was drunk, Zhang Ren didn't think much about it, turned his horse, and fled in the direction of Wuyang City to the north.
As soon as Zhang Ren, the former army commander, withdrew, Li Yan and other generals also retreated, and the 17,000 Shu soldiers who were originally fierce in fighting spirit instantly retreated like frightened rats.
It's just that the Wei army rushed too hard, more than half of them rushed into the Wei camp, and the soldiers and horses behind were still rushing forward, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them.
At this time, Zhang Ren suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the order was not yet transmitted to the rear army, the front army turned around and wanted to withdraw, but the rear army was still charging, and they were immediately crowded together, and fell into a short period of confusion for a while.
A short moment of chaos is enough to kill!
On the Wei battalion, Fan Xu, Xiang Yu, Ma Yuan, Cao Shen, Wei Yan, Chen Qingzhi and other generals, each leading their own troops and horses, have been like fierce arrows from the camp, crashing into the enemy in all directions.
In an instant, Wei Ying's sharp arrows pierced the panicked Shu army, killing voices were everywhere, blood mist was flying, and the Shu army, which had no time to escape, was cut down to the ground in pieces.
In the direction of the middle road, Xiang Yu, the strongest general of the Great Wei, led three thousand iron horsemen, and unstoppably crashed into the enemy's bushes, and the iron hooves passed through, crushing all the fragile bodies, and a bloody road tore the Shu army into two.
The fighting spirit of the Shu army had collapsed, and the formation was completely absent, so they just fled from the wind, almost without any resistance, and fell into the situation of being chased by the Wei army.
This ambush battle, in the blink of an eye, has evolved into an easy killing.
