Chapter 211: The Timing Appears
Zhang Ming and they hid in the reeds for a few days, and then transported 3,000 troops and hid on the opposite bank.
At this point, the pillar had already touched the situation almost perfectly.
"Lord, that Sun Jian has arrived in Xingyang." The pillar reported the news to Zhang Ming in time.
"Good, it's time for us to strike."
On the same day, Zhang Ming crossed the Yellow River with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, while Guan Yu stayed behind to lead the army.
"Big brother, are we going to attack the city directly?" Zhang Fei just wanted to make a big one.
Zhang Ming directly ignored it.
"Pillars, track their grain transport team, our target is the grain transport team."
The pillar took the order and left, and Zhang Ming and the others found another place to hide.
There were not many grain transport teams, because Dong Zhuo's army did not want to suffer from Xingyang for too long.
However, Xingyang is a strategic location, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed, and there is still a lot of food and grass.
A day later, the pillar discovered that there was a convoy carrying grain.
"Yide, you five hundred people, wait in the rear, and when the battle starts, you will attack from the rear, you must block all of them, and you can't let one escape."
"Pillar, your five hundred men will not go into battle, but scatter around the battlefield and kill anyone who wants to escape."
"The rest of the people, lie in ambush with me on the side of the road and take them all."
After the arrangements were made, Zhang Ming and the others intercepted and killed more than 70 miles away from Xingyang.
The enemy did not pay much attention to the troops, although they were escorted by the army.
They did not expect that there would also be an enemy in the rear.
And Zhang Ming led people to ambush.
The enemy swaggered in.
Zhang Ming: They are ambushed.
"It's all ready."
The first wave is the bow and crossbow.
"Ready."
"Kill."
Suddenly, on both sides of the road, ambushes appeared.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
In the first wave, a salvo of bows and crossbows swept away all the enemy's cavalry, and then the crowd rushed down from above.
Immediately after that, the second wave of armies, also attacked their armies with bows and crossbows.
"Ding~ System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing a Xiliang soldier, rewarding ten pairs of bows and crossbows, 200 copper coins, and merit points +1."
Zhang Ming directly hung up the bow and crossbow and attacked with a spear.
Zhang Ming and the others suddenly arrived, and the grain transport team was completely unprepared.
It was far from the battlefield, and they didn't expect an enemy army.
"Tell the news."
"Rush out and report the news."
The generals who carried the grain knew that the situation was urgent, that the enemy had twice as many of them, and that they had already killed many of them with their bows and crossbows.
Some soldiers fled, and Zhang Ming did not pursue, concentrating on cleaning up the battlefield.
The enemy was unprepared, and it was a food transport team, so it was not much difficulty, and after a while they were all taken.
And none of the enemy escaped, and there were many special forces in ambush on the periphery, and a few of them could not rush out.
Kill them all, Zhang Ming is not in a hurry to be discovered.
There were not only 1,500 troops, but also 3,000 people, who were recruited to help them transport grain and grass.
"Very good, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, take away all the equipment, and bury the corpses."
Before and after, far away from the enemy, Zhang Ming was not afraid that the enemy would chase him, but stayed to clean up the battlefield.
The battlefield is cleaned so that in a short period of time, the enemy will not find out.
This time, there was a lot of food and grass, enough for Zhang Ming and them to use for a while, and among them, a thousand brand-new weapons and armor were found, which was to supplement the battlefield.
These were all seized by Zhang Ming.
After capturing the enemy's supplies, Zhang Ming went back slowly.
From Xingyang to here, it takes half a day, and it takes a day to come and go.
Zhang Ming has deployed many special forces here, which can intercept all the heralds and cut off the communication between the two places.
Zhang Ming estimated that it would take Xu Rong two days to find out that the team transporting grain had been robbed, or he guessed it, but he should have no intention of asking about it at this time.
Zhang Ming and the others walked slowly on the main road, and walked for a long time before turning into the path.
And they took away all the men who had brought the grain.
Walking slowly all the way, I walked to the edge of the Yellow River, and then slowly hid people and things.
A day later, Xu Rong really didn't know that their grain and grass had been robbed, but the communication with the Tiger Prison had been interrupted for a day, and he had already guessed that something might be wrong, so he had sent a lot of spies out half a day ago.
Xu Rong felt a little uneasy in his heart, and the source of his uneasiness was who ambushed their ambush soldiers when they were fighting with Sun Jian.
And Zhang Ming, after the robbery, continued to cat.
Zhang Ming is like a ghost on the battlefield, if there is nothing.
And Sun Jian, after arriving, surrounded Xingyang and began to attack fiercely.
Sun Jian's strength is very strong, coupled with the continuous support of the allies in the rear, so there is still a lot of progress.
After three days of fierce attack, Zhang Ming and the others did not move at all.
In the past three days, Xu Rong and Tiger Prison have confirmed that their grain transportation team is missing.
Yes, it's missing, and they haven't found it.
The battlefield was dealt with by Zhang Ming, all the blood stains were covered, and the body was buried at the same time, and Zhang Ming sent some people to guard it, as long as someone tracked down the place, they would drive it away or shoot it.
In this way, Xu Rong and the others could only wonder if they were traitors or were kidnapped.
And Zhang Ming and they didn't appear again for a few days, and their contacts resumed, everything was just speculation.
Inside the reeds, Zhang Ming was grilling fish again.
Zhang Fei ate grilled fish and always felt tasteless.
"Big brother, it's been a few days, why don't we make another order, there are quite a lot of enemies in this tiger prison."
Zhang Ming didn't answer and continued to eat his grilled fish.
Zhang Fei could only continue to eat sullenly.
After eating a grilled fish, Zhang Mingcai said: "Don't be in a hurry to move them, let Xu Rong feel at ease." ”
Zhang Ming didn't appear on the battlefield, just so that Xu Rong couldn't take care of him, so that he had the opportunity to continue to do things.
After another three days, Sun Jian launched several fierce attacks, but to no avail, Xu Rong still took them back.
At this time, Xi Zhi arrived with Xu Huang.
They stopped twenty miles from the battlefield, and then they stopped to train their troops.
Yes, after stopping, Xu Huang practiced day and night.
This move was strange to Xu Rong, and so was Sun Jian.
Sun Jian sent people for help several times and asked them to attack Xu Rong together, but Xi Zhicai refused all on the grounds that Zhang Ming was not there.
And Xu Rong sent people to stare at Xi Zhicai, and he couldn't figure out what this Xi Zhicai was going to do.
In fact, Zhang Ming didn't want to do anything, just waited for the opportunity.
The Allies have been supporting Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian can storm at any cost.
The offensive went on for several more days, and the losses on both sides were very large.
Zhang Ming has been paying attention to the battlefield, and while sighing that Xu Rong is powerful, he also feels that his opportunity is almost coming.
Although Xingyang is a strategic location, Dong Zhuo's side can't hold it for long.
Because there are two other ways that can attack Tiger Prison Pass without passing through Xingyang.
Besides, if Xu Rong consumes too many troops here, it is not worth it.
"It's time for us to carry out activities, let Xi Zhicai send troops, and 10,000 troops will be placed under the city, no need to attack, just put on an offensive posture."
"The rest, all crossed the river and prepared for battle."
