Early the next morning, Yuan Yao personally led the army to cross the Sanjiangkou waterway by warship in batches, and the army went straight to Xiakou.

"Shi Yuan, do you think Huang Zu will send someone to rob the camp tonight?"

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and replied: "Lord, my army is attacking the city all the way and taking the village, although Xiakou can be relied on, but even the Sanjiangkou has been captured by our army, Huang Zu will definitely have doubts about the city defense of Xiakou City!" Frustrating the enemy's spirit has always been the only way for the defender to win, Huang Zu wants to defend Xiakou City more steadily, and will definitely try his best to frustrate the spirit of my army! ”

"Huang Zu has lost countless soldiers, he will not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, so he will not take the method of cutting the generals before the battle, so coming, robbing the camp at night is his best choice; Huang Zu sent some soldiers and horses to rob the camp at night, if it succeeded, it could frustrate the spirit of our army or even win a decisive battle, even if it was not successful, it was only a loss of some soldiers and horses. After Su Fei's soldiers and horses entered the city, there were about 40,000 defenders in Xiakou City, and even if Huang Zu lost some of the soldiers and horses, it would not affect the city defense of Xiakou City. ”

"There is no disadvantage in robbing the camp at night, Huang Zu will definitely make this choice, tonight is the best time for his army to come to the first time and gain a firm foothold, if he chooses to send troops to rob the camp, he will definitely choose tonight!"

Yuan Yao pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said, "Are all the generals ready to take precautions?" ”

Pang Tong replied: "Back to the lord, all the generals are ready to take precautions, even if Huang Zu sends troops to rob the camp, it will definitely be difficult to get benefits!" Deng Long had already ordered him to go down, if Huang Zu sent troops to rob the camp, he would take advantage of the chaos to let Zhang Shuo and Chen Wei go! ”

……

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was midnight.

"Kill! Fight your way into the enemy camp! ”

"The lord has an order, the beheading of the first level of the reward is 1,000, the beheading of the officer, the reward is 10,000, the same position, the beheading of the enemy general, the reward is 100,000!"

……

At this moment, not far from Yuan Yao's camp, there was a sudden tsunami-like shouting and killing sound, and about 5,000 Jiangxia troops went straight to Yuan Yao's camp to kill.

The soldiers of Yuan Yao's army did not take off their armor at night, everyone fell asleep with soldiers, and the soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and after the Jiangxia army entered the camp, Yang Zaixing and Wei Yan and others led the army to meet the Jiangxia soldiers and horses, and the soldiers on both sides soon fought together inside and outside Yuan Yao's camp.

Deng Long thought about the secret order given to him by Pang Tong, and quietly sneaked into the place where Zhang Shuo and Chen were imprisoned, Zhang Shuo and Chen Wei had already been awakened by the shouting outside, and when they saw Deng Long coming, they asked urgently: "What happened outside, why did Brother Tai come late at night?" ”

Deng Long pulled Zhang Shuo and the others into the camp tent and said, "Huang Taishou sent troops to rob the camp, and there is currently a fierce battle!" The sergeants guarding this place have gone to their aid, so get out of here, for I have prepared two horses for you, and you may flee straight to the west. ”

Zhang Shuo said with a look of disbelief: "This ......, why is this Brother Deng?" ”

Deng Long sighed and said: "I surrender Yuan Yao also has a last resort, Huang Taishou has the grace of knowing me, you two and I also have brotherly righteousness, now I can only do so much for you, Yuan Yao has already made the generals prepare to prevent Huang Taishou from robbing the camp at night, this battle will not last long, you two hurry up, no matter how slow you are, you can't go!" ”

"Then Brother Deng might as well go with the two of us?"

Deng Long smiled bitterly a few times and replied: "My wife and children are all in Huangzhou, if I go with the two of you, Yuan Yao will definitely vent his anger with my wife and children, you two should leave quickly, but you must not say that I put the two of you back, otherwise Yuan Yao will definitely blame me." ”

Zhang Shuo replied again and again: "Brother Deng, don't worry, we said that we took advantage of the chaos to escape back." ”

Deng Long patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "Well, that's fine, the war horse is outside, you can go quickly." ”

At this moment, Chen suddenly asked, "I don't know if Brother Deng knows where Gongzi is being held?" ”

Deng Long hesitated for a moment and replied: "Gongzi is imprisoned in the place of the army, and the personal guards are heavily guarded, and there is no way for us to rescue him. ”

Zhang Shuo quietly tugged on Chen Zhi's sleeve and said urgently: "I'm embarrassed Brother Deng, let's leave immediately!" ”

Deng Long waved his hand to order the two of them to go quickly, and then pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Hey, I have a sentence that is really not worth talking about!" ”

Zhang Shuo bowed and said, "Brother Deng said that you laughed, you took the risk of letting the two of us go, you are the life-saving benefactor of the two of us, Brother Tai has something to say!" ”

Deng Long then continued: "The two of you have been in Yuan Yao's army for several months, and now it is different from the past, you two should be more careful after entering the city!" Alright, that's all you have to say, and you can leave quickly. ”

"I've waited to thank Brother Deng!"

Zhang Shuo pulled Chen and saluted Deng Long, and then went out of the tent and rode on the war horse prepared by Deng Long to pat the horse and leave, and the two followed the route given by Deng Long to the west, and sure enough, they found a gap and left Yuan Yaojun's camp.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Jiangxia army also suffered heavy losses, and they were routed, and the routs fled straight in the direction where Xiakou City was located.

After Zhang Shuo and the others left Yuan Yao's camp, their hearts were also much more relaxed, so Chen frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by the last words that Deng Long just said?" ”

Zhang Shuo shook his head slightly, and said: "Now that Yuan Yao's army is like a broken bamboo, and the situation of the lord is in danger, you and I have been stranded in Yuan Yao's army for several months, if you are the lord, will you doubt that the two of us have already surrendered to the enemy?" Brother Chen, now that you and I have become grasshoppers on a rope, after entering the city, you and I still have to be more close. ”

Chen is not a fool to be able to become a general in his own right, and immediately came back to his senses and replied: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your advice, it should be so!" ”

Zhang Shuo and Chen fought their horses and went straight to Xiakou, just when they encountered a rout of the camp, after the two identified themselves, they merged into the rout and retreated to Xiakou City.

After Huang Zu sent the soldiers and horses to attack the camp, he had been waiting for news on the city gate tower, and when he saw the rout returning, Huang Zu immediately showed a trace of disappointment on his face.

After confirming the news of the rout and the fact that there were no pursuers behind, Huang Zu let down the drawbridge to take the rout back to the city, and he was shocked to learn that Zhang Shuo and Chen had returned, and hurriedly asked the two of them to be brought for questioning.

Zhang Shuo and Chen dealt with Huang Zu about the lies they had made up on the road, although Huang Zu did not notice any mistakes or omissions, but out of caution, Huang Zu did not let the two of them take charge of the army immediately, but ordered the two of them to go home to recuperate for a period of time before coming out to do things.
