Chapter 867: Eight Hundred Warriors

In the big tent, Zhang Yun and the four brigade commanders were considering the final plan.

The Youzhou army defended very well at night, and the 1,000 soldiers at each city gate would not rest, 1,000 in the first half of the night, 1,000 in the second half of the night, and the handover time was exactly three corrections.

A brigade commander got up and said: "I have received reliable information that the five thousand soldiers in the small barracks sleep with armor at night, and the weapons are by their side, and if there is an emergency, they will be killed immediately, it is said that these are all arranged by the military advisor Jia Shu." ”

"This dog-headed military advisor has a bad stomach!" Xiao Yuan next to him couldn't help but scold.

Zhang Yun waved his hand, "The Youzhou army has never been careless in terms of defense, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin also said that we can't expect the other party to make mistakes and win." ”

Brigade Marshal Wang Long said: "We have 800 elites, and it should not be a big problem to deal with the 1,000 people guarding the city." ”

"Of course, there is no problem in defeating the opponent's 1,000 gate army, the key is time, we must open the city gate in the shortest possible time, when we defeat the city gate army, the opponent's 5,000 army should also be killed.

So the best way for us is to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge before the enemy army can react, and then in order to defend the city gate and fight fiercely with the enemy army, insist that our army enters the city. ”

"General, the handover time is also corrected in three ways, I think it can be used." A brigade commander was the first to think of a solution.

"But the handover is not so easy, to check the military card, the arrow and the handover card, we don't have any of them."

Xiao Yuan smiled: "If there are only these three things, I have a way." ”

........

At night, the eight hundred soldiers were divided into four teams to patrol in Youzhou City as usual, they changed to night patrols from yesterday, there were more things to patrol during the day, but they could sleep well at night, and although the night patrol was very relaxed, basically nothing happened, but they were also very sleepy.

At the gate of the barracks of the Youzhou Army, Daniel Zhang hurriedly walked out.

"Lao Li, what are you looking for me?"

Daniel Zhang is also the deputy general of the Lu Jiamin Regiment, that is, a name, his actual position is the general of the 17th battalion of the Youzhou Army, with 1,000 soldiers under his command, and he has his own independent military card and arrows.

Zhang Yun stepped forward and whispered two words, and Daniel Zhang's eyes lit up, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true, if I had your military card and arrows, I would have earned the money myself."

"You wait, I'll go get it!"

Daniel Zhang turned around and ran towards the camp.

Zhang Yun told him that there was a rich man who had passed his fiftieth birthday and put on the armor of a great general, but he still lacked a military card and arrows, and he was willing to borrow a hundred taels of silver for one night.

Although this excuse is not very clever, there are loopholes, such as the current situation where it is impossible for anyone to celebrate their birthday, and wearing the armor of a great general sounds even more ridiculous.

But for Daniel Zhang, who owes a lot of gambling debts and wants money to go crazy, he can get a hundred taels of silver, even if he is allowed to go to Qinglou to pick up customers, he is willing, not to mention lending military cards and arrows, although seriously violating military orders, but anyway, it is only one night, he is also present, there should be no chaos.

The reason why Zhang Yun wanted Daniel Zhang's military card and order arrow was mainly because they could not use the identity of the Lu family militia to attack, once Lu Jinsuo learned about it, it would be a disaster for the Lu family, pretending to be Daniel Zhang's army could delay time, and when Lu Jinsuo found out the truth, it would be too late.

Not long ago, Daniel Zhang rushed out with a military card and Ling Jianxing, "Old Li, will you go now?" ”

Zhang Yun pointed to the carriage next to him, "This is the Luofu carriage, get in the car!" The 'Great General' is waiting. ”

Daniel Zhang saw that the carriage was gorgeous and extraordinary, and his heart was even more expectant, so he rushed into it, and just got on the carriage, only to feel a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

With a flick of his whip, the carriage started and headed for the city........

After three watches, the four patrols gradually concentrated at the north city gate.

Guo Song's order was three corrections, that is, three watches and two moments, they still had time, but at this time, Guo Song led an army of 60,000 troops to arrive outside the northern city of Youzhou, less than three miles away from the city gate, and they lurked in a forest, waiting for the signal on the city's head.

There are currently 1,000 soldiers guarding the north gate of Youzhou, and it happens to be the handover of the three corrections, and the soldiers are looking forward to the city, at this time, an army is running on the street, holding spears, shields and crossbow arrows on their backs.

"Password!" A soldier asked in a loud voice.

"May Swallow Mountain!" Zhang Yun replied loudly.

The password is not difficult to know, they patrol at night, just ask a random soldier guarding the city.

The defender walked up quickly and asked, "Which battalion are you from?" ”

"Seventeen battalions!"

Lang Jiang was stunned, "Isn't it the handover of the eighth battalion?" ”

"The eighth battalion has gone to Dongcheng, and Boss Lu has just changed."

"Damn, you didn't tell me, what about your gambling king? Where did you go to gamble again? ”

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly, "I don't know where he went, so he ordered the lowly post to take over for him." ”

General Lang checked the military card, the arrow and the token on duty, the military card and the arrow are real, but the token on duty is fake.

Lang Jiang did not have the slightest doubt, the two signed the handover order, and waved his hand, "Withdrawn!" ”

A thousand sleepy soldiers retreated and went back to their barracks to sleep.

Zhang Yun didn't expect it to be so easy, he led the soldiers to rush to the city, and suddenly someone in the distance shouted: "It's wrong!" It's not you. ”

As soon as Zhang Yun turned around, he saw that in the dark, the soldiers of black pressure were running from a distance, about 2,000 people, and it was the soldiers of the 8th Battalion who were running in front, and they happened to meet the soldiers who had withdrawn to the barracks on the way.

The generals on both sides realized that the 17th Battalion must have made a mistake, this kind of mistake is a serious mistake, and it will even lose its head if it is investigated.

At this time, there was no room for explanation, and Zhang Yun immediately ordered: "Crossbow arrow shooting!" ”

Eight hundred soldiers raised their crossbows and fired at each other, and the dense crossbow bolts were fired at the soldiers of the eighth battalion rushing towards them.

The eighth battalion general surnamed Wu, he saw that the soldiers at the head of the city were all raising crossbows at them, he couldn't help but be surprised, what is going on, is the seventeenth battalion crazy?

Before he could react, the dense crossbow arrows roared and fired, the soldiers were caught off guard, and the dozens of people who ran in front were hit by arrows, and Wu Lang was also shot in the shoulder by a crossbow arrow, screaming, and almost turned over and fell off his horse.

This arrow also made Wu Lang react, "His mother, Daniel Zhang rebelled!" ”

He immediately sent a messenger to inform the manager, and he himself shouted: "Kill them, don't let them open the city!" ”

Zhang Yun also ordered the soldiers at the same time, "Open the city, put the suspension bridge!" ”

The gates creaked open, the huge drawbridge began to slowly lower, and soldiers lit three torches and began to wave them.

At this moment, the deputy general Liu Changgan also led a thousand soldiers from the east city wall, he was in charge of the second half of the night inspection, just in time to check the handover.

Liu Changgan suddenly found that the drawbridge was lowering and there were torches waving on the city, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill it!" ”

He led a thousand soldiers to kill from the east, and Zhang Yun saw that the situation was critical, so he shouted: "Brigade Marshal Xiao, you lead two hundred brothers to resist the other party!" ”

"The Third Brigade comes with me!"

Xiao Yuan led two hundred soldiers with spears and shields in their hands to meet them, two hundred people lined up into three human walls, countless spears gathered together, intensively pointed at the enemy, a thousand soldiers quickly killed, the two sides stabbed each other with spears, and fought fiercely together.

Six hundred crossbow arrows could not suppress the Youzhou soldiers who swarmed up, Zhang Yun immediately decided, he left one hundred soldiers to guard the drawbridge and the city gate hub at the head of the city, and he himself led five hundred soldiers to kill the city, lined up in front of the city gate, and fought fiercely with the two thousand enemy troops who rushed up.

Guo Song, who was outside the city, also saw the torches on the city, and he immediately ordered: "The cavalry goes first, kill into the city!" ”

Pei Xin urged the war horse, he took the lead, and together with Yang Xuanying, led 15,000 cavalry to gallop into the city, and there was a stone bridge more than 20 zhang long on the moat, and the stone bridge only allowed two cavalry to go in parallel.

The well-trained cavalry pulled out a long straight line, and the distance of three miles was instantaneous, Pei Xin jumped on the stone bridge with a horse, brandished a big knife and killed the city gate, followed by Yang Xuanying, who carried a dragon golden spear, and followed Pei Xin closely.

At this time, Lu Jinsuo had received the news that Daniel Zhang of the 17th Battalion rebelled and led the army to open the city gate and drawbridge, and Lu Jinsuo was furious and immediately led 5,000 soldiers from the small military camp next to the army to kill.
