Chapter 272: Fraudulent Surrender

Although Zhang Fei and Xu Sheng have never led an army together, their reactions are surprisingly similar.

Seeing that the front army was blocked, and more than 100 athletes were injured under the stumbling horse rope, they were suddenly furious, and they had already lined up their horses in front of the array, taking the lead, and the snake spear and iron chain knife in their hands danced like a swimming dragon, stirring up boundless wind and clouds in front of them.

Murderous, cold and piercing.

The stumbling rope had been wrapped in spearheads and swords by the two of them with the strength of a thousand oxen and two tigers, and the two roared angrily, poured their arms into their arms, and got up and pulled on the top of their heads, and the tripping rope broke in response. One hundred and ten warriors dismounted, swords, and feet, and pulled up the stumbling ropes in front of them from the ground.

The two stretched out their hands and made a move, and the soldiers under their command rushed towards the forest like a surge.

The daughter-in-law who has been boiling up for many years has become a mother-in-law, although the soldiers have not survived for a long time, and they are not a wicked wife, but they were like a little daughter-in-law who had been angry for many years.

People are dignified, not to mention, they are elite soldiers under Liu Bei, the world's most famous Danyang elite soldiers. Yuan Shu once commented back then: This place is famous for its elite soldiers.

As long as there is a sword, they can kill a river of blood in front of them; As long as there are people, even a stick of firewood can become a weapon to kill.

For the time being, I will not show Xu Sheng, and Zhang Fei will be single. Zhang Fei shouted angrily, and the generals under his command roared like tigers and wolves, and moved forward bravely.

There is nothing in front of them, and there is no need to have any scruples about the school gate, their blood and fearlessness have already poured into their brains, and the swords in their hands are like the minions of a vicious wolf and bite at the enemy in the forest opposite.

Spears, short swords, and knives soared into the air, whining and screaming in the forest, carrying bursts of cold air, slashing down into the air, nailing the opposite Great Wall of flesh to the ground and tree trunks in the forest.

The sound of sharp weapons entering the bones continued, and the wailing and screaming were endless. Layers of red blood mist splashed in the camp of Liang Gang in the forest, and dozens, hundreds, and hundreds of warriors fell one after another in the dense forest, falling under the opponent's sharp weapons.

"Indiscriminate shooting!"

Seeing that the soldiers outside the forest had fallen in a pool of blood, and the few remaining soldiers were still struggling to support, the adjutant general wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he choked and roared, and more than a thousand sharp arrows flew out of the forest, penetrating the body of the opponent's general, and bringing up countless flying peach blossoms, as if there was a peach blossom rain in the forest.

"Look for death!"

Zhang Fei let out a long shout, the red-maned horse under his crotch was like a red lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had passed through the crowd, and through the rain of arrows in the sky, it reached the deputy general's body, and a swarthy Zhang'er snake spear slashed across the deputy general's chest, and a stream of blood bloomed on the deputy general's chest.

"You'll be coming to see me soon, too... of, I... Waiting for you! ”

The adjutant general laughed, his face stiffened, the strength of his body receded like a tide, and the smile gradually condensed on the corners of his mouth, and his head tilted to the side of the horse's back, falling to the ground and smashing on the trunk of a tree beside him, raising the fallen leaves in the sky.

Zhang Fei suddenly felt a trace of vigilance in his heart, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly lowered his head on the horse's back, and a dark arrow flew past his scalp with a "whoosh", nailed to the trunk of the tree on his side.

The tail of the arrow buzzed to itself.

"It's a pity that I didn't impress this black guy enough!"

In the distance, Liang Gang smacked his lips, shook his head, straddled the longbow in his hand on his back, let out a long roar at his generals, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the city gate.

……

The sun has set in the west, darkness shrouds the earth, through the moonlight, you can see in the distance that Huaiyuan County is bloody and messy, corpses, broken limbs, stump arms, falling swords, short knives are scattered under the city, everywhere.

Xu Sheng and Zhang Fei had already hugged Liu Bei, who had just arrived here, into the big tent.

Seeing Zhang Fei and Xu Sheng's faces full of shame, Liu Bei patted Xu Sheng's shoulder and comforted: "How can there be no bloodshed and sacrifice when marching and fighting? Although this battle did not break the city in one fell swoop, nor did it take off the heads of Liang Gang and Jin Shang, this battle has already killed the momentum of our army.

You handled this battle very properly, if it weren't for the irritable and reckless nature of my third brother, I think today's battle would have been a different situation. However, Yan Xiang had no intention of calculating, and as a result, the loss of their Yuan army was still not much different from that of our army.

Benshu believed that Yan Xiang, Liang Gang, and Najin Shang must have been restless in Huaiyuan City at this moment. Tomorrow, Benzhou will give you another chance to be ashamed, and Benzhou will personally lead the 20,000 Chinese troops under his command and your forward battalion to attack the city together, catch them off guard, and hit them by surprise! ”

"Report!"

As soon as Liu Bei appeased Xu Sheng, he heard a rush of footsteps, and turned his head to see that Chen Zhi had already walked into the camp with a detailed work: "Report to the lord, the subordinate is the scout battalion Jiazi number detailed, and the subordinate has important military information to report to the lord!" ”

"But something happened in Huaiyuan City?" Liu Bei nodded and sat down on the handsome chair.

He glanced at Liu Bei in surprise, handed over a piece of news in his arms, nodded and said: "What the lord said is that there is a brother in my Jiazi who is on an errand in the county government here, and this evening, he saw Yan Xiang, Jin Shang and Liang Gang quarrel in the county government.

According to what he said, in today's battle, the 10,000 troops brought by Yan Xiang from Shouchun have lost more than 3,000 people, so Yan Xiang plans to adjust his battle strategy and defend the city. However, Liang Gang insisted on going out of the city to fight with the lord because his deputy general died at the hands of General Zhang, avenging him!

Jin Shang disagreed with the two again, although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to surrender to the lord, but what was revealed between his words was dissatisfaction and contempt for Yuan Shu. It's just that this person is quite a city, and there is no exact information between his words, and he does not leave a trace of handle. So he threw the message down from the top of the city wrapped in stones, and asked the lord to decide! ”

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, Jin Shang has learned to be well-behaved this time." Liu Bei laughed and explained to everyone, "This Jin Shang character Yuan Xiu is originally the Jingzhao Ren clan, which is the same name as Wei Duan (Zi Fu Xiu) and the Fifth Patrol (Zi Wenxiu), and the number is Sanxiu.

A few years ago, His Majesty appointed him as the assassin of Yanzhou, but he was expelled by Cao Mengde and attached to Yuan Shu. But although he lives under the fence of Yuan Shu, he does not join the same stream as Yuan Shu, and his heart is always towards the court of the Han Dynasty.

When Yuan Shu Shouchun crossed over, he wanted to be named 'Tai Lieutenant', but Yuan Xiu was resolute and almost cut down by Yuan Shu, but fortunately, Yan Xiang came forward and saved Yuan Xiu from Yuan Shu's clutches. In this way, it is really possible for him to rebel against Yuan Shu and defect to Benzhou! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of footsteps outside the tent, and three or five patrol soldiers broke in through the door

Come, the leader of the man held a white feather arrow with the arrow removed in both hands: "My lord, this is when the last general and others were patrolling, someone shot down from the city. ”

There was a piece of white cloth tied to the arrow, Liu Bei hurriedly took the white feather arrow and opened the white cloth, only to see more than a dozen big characters written on it: three minutes of ugliness, three fires in the east of the city, open the door to receive your army into the city. And the place where the payment is made is the Jin Shang Jin Yuanxiu mentioned by Liu Bei Shicai!

……

The night was deep, and the moon seemed to have felt the killing opportunity from this land, and quietly hid in the dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark. Huaiyuan City was like a huge beast sleeping in the wilderness, and there was still no movement on the city.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Xu Sheng led five thousand knights to stand quietly under the city, looking at the city with bated breath. Behind him, there were more than 30,000 foot soldiers led by Liu Bei himself, ambushed in the grove not far away.

"What's the matter, I have long said that the words of these officials are not credible, but my brother has taken advantage of it. It's been ugly for two moments, and there is still no reaction from the city! Zhang Fei rubbed his hands, his face full of unhappiness.

"Third brother, shut up!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei, "Since my brother said that Jin Shang is a minister loyal to the Han Dynasty, presumably that Jin Shang will not lie to me, there is still a short time before the ugly hour, you can wait patiently!"

After so many years, I don't know how to change your stinky problem. This attack on Huaiyuan City was because you made the mistake of impatience, which caused our army to suffer heavy casualties. If it weren't for Wen Xiang to help on the side, I'm afraid that the entire forward battalion would have been filled in because of you! ”

Zhang Fei smiled, touched his forehead, and suddenly saw three torches burning on the city, and hurriedly grabbed Guan Yu: "Second brother, look at the signal on the city!" ”

After speaking, the east gate of Huaiyuan City had been quietly opened, and a faint torch at the door beckoned to the city, and then quietly extinguished, leaving only a few shadows standing at the door.

"Let's go!"

Guan Yu shouted softly, the snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand pointed, and the horse flew out first, and the soldiers under his command quickly stepped on the war horse wrapped in the horse's hooves, leaned forward and raised the whip lightly, and rushed towards the city gate like a torrent of iron armor.

The cold wind was coming, and the earth was retreating rapidly under the horse's hooves, but Zhang Fei and the knights on horseback were dancing with their eyebrows, thinking that Liang Gang's group of birdmen in the city were about to tremble under their snake spears and swords, so they wanted to give the galloping war horse another whip.

Soon, Zhang Fei and two thousand knights had already rushed into the city gate, while Guan Yu, Xu Sheng and the cavalry behind him were still outside the east city gate, and Liu Bei's foot soldiers had not even walked out of the grove.

"Bang!"

A cannon rang out in the dark night, and everyone was startled, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw thousands of Yuan soldiers standing on the eaves on both sides of the inner city, stretching their bows and arrows, pointing directly at everyone, hundreds of torches in the hands of everyone, scraping and miscellaneous fires, and the entire Huaiyuan City was illuminated as if it was day.

Tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers gathered on the street in front, all of them looked cold and waiting, the swords, bows and crossbows in their hands and the clothes and armor on their bodies still did not feel half a minute of warmth in the firelight, they were shining under the firelight, revealing cold, shining cold.

In front of them, there were several city-guarding crossbows, but in front of the city-guarding crossbows was a deep trench with a street width and a length of several zhang in front of Zhang Fei and the other generals, as if a huge monster was grinning and laughing.
