Chapter 428 - Counting is Counting

Hearing this, Mi Zhu had to report back to Guan Yu first. You must know that Guan Yu is sullen that he can't find a way to quickly capture Danyang.

"You say there is a secret passage from outside the city to the inside of the city?" When Guan Yu learned of this, his face was surprised, and he was immediately overjoyed: "If you can send people from the Tao into the city and open the city gate, you can just around the corner to capture this city." It's just that I hated this guy, and I didn't know it until this time. Thinking of the hurried fire in the past few days, Guan Yu's eyes couldn't help but flash with resentment: "It's really killable!" ”

Mi Zhu said persuasively on the side: "General, at this time, we must focus on the overall situation, and if you kill this person, I am afraid that it will delay the big event." ”

"Hmph, he's so calculating, in order to be promoted, he didn't say anything about it until then, hmph, he will kill this guy after the matter is done!" Thinking that in two days, Xu Ming would go to Jianye to encircle Jianye with Gan Ning and others, but he was blocked in Danyang and couldn't move forward half a step, Guan Yu said with a sneer.

"General, no matter what, this person can be regarded as a great achievement."

Guan Yu no longer bothered about whether to kill or not, but asked Mi Zhu to bring the scout immediately, and he interrogated him carefully. The scout recounted the secret passage in its original form.

"Tonight, Ben will send 200 men to enter the city with you through the secret passage, and after opening the city gate, Ben will personally lead 3,000 people into the city and take them by surprise! If you can successfully win Danyang, I will definitely reward you! ”

"The general is wise!" The scout replied that Guan Yu's army only had 10,000 men in total, and sent 3,000 people to attack at night, and the rest of the people naturally had to defend the camp and the grain and grass. And the city gate is so small, no matter how many of them, it is difficult to rush into it at once.

"Zizhong, this person is from Jiangdong, is his words credible?"

"It should be credible, now that the Jiangdong Sun clan is gone, our army is like a bamboo, he just wants to make meritorious contributions and be promoted at this time, it should be credible."

"Why do I think it's always weird? But I was in a hurry to break the city, so someone offered a plan. As the lord said, someone will send a pillow when you are sleepy, which is not necessarily a good thing. This person has to be guarded against, but if the secret passage is true, it is indeed a good opportunity to break the city......" Guan Yu directly ignored Mi Zhu later, he knew that this guy actually didn't have any good ideas, especially in the face of this kind of key problem, he couldn't give any advice.

Well? That's it! Regardless of whether there was an ambush or not, and regardless of the origin of this scout, Guan Yu finally decided to give it a try! In Guan Yu's opinion, even if the enemy has an ambush in the city, will his 10,000 people still be unable to resist the other party's 3,000 people?

This night, in the middle of the night, the surrounding area gradually became foggy, and the fog rose, and no one was seen three steps away. Guan Yu was overjoyed and sent people to carry out a night attack, the vanguard was this scout and a team of elite soldiers, and made an appointment to take the firelight as a letter, Guan Yu sent them out, and they were ready to enter the city.

Time passed minute by minute, Guan Yu waited patiently at the beginning, but later showed irritability, and his mood was extremely bad.

"General, this situation is not right, is it an ambush?" At this time, the strategist Mi Zhu said with a frown. He didn't know what Guan Yu thought about being hungry, since he suspected that scout, how could he really come to attack at night.

Guan Yu was furious and reprimanded: "If it was an ambush, why didn't you say it before, and you didn't retreat at this time!" Seeing Guan Yu like this, Mi Zhu had to sigh and retreat.

Half an hour later, the fire at the south gate of Danyang County finally appeared at the head of the city.

Although there was a slight mist around it, there was still a flash of fire.

"They succeeded, enter the city!" Seeing this, Guan Yu was overjoyed, waved his hand, and ordered the army to advance.

The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, he is unwilling to give up this opportunity for meritorious service, and no longer hesitates, leading a thousand people to rush and kill first. When he came to the city, he saw that the city gate was wide open, Guan Yu whispered to several of his own soldiers, and a few people turned away, and then Guan Yu led his troops into the city, although he could slow down the speed of entering the city, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"It's too quiet, it's not right!"

Even if it was the first team to solve the defenders of the city gate, but at this time, the big movement into the city, always encountered resistance, and then looked at the front, but suddenly found that there was a wall in front of it, it seemed to be a temporary construction, no more than three meters high, but it had already sandwiched these five hundred people in the middle, the same as a pie.

"Oh no, I'm in ambush! Get out of here! No matter what, Guan Yu is always a general, he immediately woke up, drank and said, hurriedly turned the horse, and prepared to turn the horse's head and withdraw from the city.

At this time, the city gate behind him closed suddenly, and the sound of killing on the surrounding walls stood up, and the ambush soldiers each held bows and crossbows, aiming.

"Not good!" Faced with this situation, Guan Yu immediately knew that something was wrong, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that this scout who was sent out was sneering at him in the crowd of the other party.

"Shoot!" Almost at the same time, Liuzi County commanded Yang Qimeng's order!

I only heard the sound of "poof" bursting, and hundreds of arrows fired in a fierce salvo.

"Rat ......" Guan Yu only had time to roar angrily, and he was shot by random arrows and fell off his horse.

"Kill, kill not a single one!" In fact, in terms of the number of people, there are more than 1,000 people who have fallen into the trap and there are more than 2,000 people left in the county, but one is prepared and designed a trap, and the other is a trap, which is completely different.

I saw a volley of thousands of arrows, and hundreds of people fell in the dense open space of the city gate. The other soldiers rushed to the wall, but could not climb up for a moment. So the small poor culvert under the city gate became the only place to take refuge, and a few daring soldiers braved the rain of arrows to drag Guan Yu from the battlefield to the bottom of the culvert.

On the city wall, arrows rained down, and the thousand people had no resistance at all, so they had to retreat to the edge of the city wall and raise their weapons above their heads to try to block the arrows, but the effect of this was obviously limited.

After most of the 1,000 soldiers were shot, the scout came to the city tower and said with a sneer: "General, with your character, after the matter is really done, will you reward me again?" Hmph, I'm afraid, I'll kill it as soon as possible. ”

This person's original plan was to surrender to Liu Cong to save his life, but now that he has returned to his hometown, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity for Jiang Gong to atone for his crimes, and he is looking at Guan Yu's meritorious service, and he has no time to think about it. This is a famous general of the enemy army, although Guan Yu said that he would send 3,000 people to participate in the night attack, and the unit would not startle the snake, this scout still suggested that Guan Yu only enter 1,000 people first, while alarming the defenders in the city, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to agree!

It's just that he didn't expect that after he said this, Guan Yu suddenly laughed in the culvert under the city gate, and the defenders of Danyang County were stunned. The soldiers who accompanied Guan Yu and were ready to defend Guan Yu to the death were also stunned, could it be that General Guan was stupid? No, General Guan has been through a hundred battles, and even if he was captured by the lord at the beginning, he would not be like this.

After Guan Yu finished laughing, he turned to everyone: "Sons, hold on, there are only more than 2,000 people in this Danyang City, and there are about 2,000 people besieging us at the moment, that is to say, the other three gates will probably not exceed 200 people in each gate!" The kid upstairs, don't say that Guan didn't remind you, you should keep your eyes open and look at the other three gates, presumably the 10,000 people of the general should also have seven or eight thousand people entering the city, this Danyang City is the general's, hahahaha......"

The soldiers around Guan Yu sank in their hearts when they heard this, and they were bait when they joined us for a thousand people? However, thinking that General Guan himself had personally taken the risk, they didn't dare to complain, and now they were looking forward to the reinforcements outside the city entering the city as soon as possible, otherwise the culvert of this city gate would not be able to hide for long!

When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, they suddenly fell silent, as quiet as death! Yes, Guan Yu has 10,000 people, and he has lost some losses in the past few days, but there are at least seven or eight thousand people, what about the others? What if Guan Yu really sent them all out? Probably not, Guan Yu should really give himself courage!

"Keep firing arrows, keep firing arrows! The others will go down with me and capture Guan Yu alive! The lieutenant general was also comforting himself in his heart at this time, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, as long as he catches Guan Yu, everything will be fine.

And the scout who was still laughing at Guan Yu before was stunned in place, he finally realized that something was wrong, the vanguard that followed him into the city said that it was two hundred people, and only a few dozen people who followed him appeared at the gate of the city after passing through the secret passage, and he didn't know where the others went, and there was no one who continued to come in behind, he didn't seem to have time to care, he was happy too early!

Outside the city, Mi Zhu had sensed that something was wrong, but when he saw the city gate closed, he knew that Guan Yu was surrounded, so he urged his subordinates to attack the city, but there were only 2,000 people, and there were more than 2,000 defenders on the city wall. He knew that he was just a scholar in the eyes of his lord Liu Cong, who was the pediatric Guan Yu? The general of the three armies, if Guan Yu dies in battle, Liu Cong will definitely not forgive him!

Guan Yu's subordinates and those who had entered the city through the secret passage before were only a thousand people, and they had already been killed and wounded under the involvement of a bow and arrow, and at this moment, the partial general was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he took people down the city wall to prepare to clean up the remaining enemy troops! Guan Yu and these people didn't dare to move close to the city wall, and they would be greeted by bows and arrows when they moved, but seeing that the enemy was coming down, everyone was anxious again, and they all looked at Guan Yu to see how he responded!

"Retreat! Stand firm, stand tight! As long as we hold on for a moment, the others will definitely come to our aid! Guan Yu also knew that he couldn't rush forward at this time, but he had to compress the battle scene as much as possible so that the archers on the city wall would not have more opportunities. And it is actually very dangerous for everyone to gather together, because the archers are condescending, and the small city gate culvert has already squeezed into hundreds of people at this time, Guan Yu still asked everyone to squeeze as much as possible to the city gate, hoping to squeeze the city gate through!

However, this possibility is very small, the enemy did something on the city gate after seeing Guan Yu and others enter the city, and even those who closed the city gate were all dead, they didn't even plan to escape at all, they just wanted to block the city gate alive! And in fact, they also did it, hundreds of pounds of boulders, iron chains, everything that could be used! There are piles of earth and rocks inside and outside the door!

"Hold on! Hold on! Guan Yu could only continue to comfort his subordinates at this time, because his plan was to enter the city through the other three gates, and these more than 1,000 people would have to hold on until reinforcements came no matter what. Fortunately, Mi Zhu outside the gate seemed to be crazy, and more than 2,000 people attacked the city without dying, which attracted a large part of the attention, which made the archers not withstand Guan Yu in the city all the time.

Time is slowly passing, and more and more of Guan Yu's subordinates are dying, but the enemy's leading general has gradually approached the city gate! Some of the soldiers beside Guan Yu had already begun to fight, if Guan Yu hadn't been with them, I am afraid that they would have surrendered on their knees at this moment!

"Haha, let's die, Guan Yu! Tonight I want to let you know that Koto is not so easy to bully......"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, arrows rained down on the city wall again, but it was not Guan Yu's troops who fell, but the soldiers who defended the city, and the defenders with bows and arrows on the city wall also began to exclaim! Because they were condescending and saw the movement in the city, the direction of the county government was already brightly lit, and people from the other three city gates kept coming towards the south gate! And countless enemy troops appeared on the newly built city walls!

They know what those torches mean! What did it mean for those archers who appeared on the walls! Guan Yu is right, Danyang has changed hands!
