Chapter 3 135 Night Attack on Hanzhong

"Meng Yu wants to lead the army" Guan Zheng looked at Zhu Rong and asked

"Hmm" Zhu Rong nodded

"Yes, take Hanzhong, and reward him according to the size of his merits," Guan Zheng nodded and agreed

"Wei Yan, you are the main general in this battle, Meng Shu is the deputy general, interspersed from the mountains and dangerous roads to Hanzhong, attack day and night at any cost, be sure to take Hanzhong before Cao Cao reacts, Ling Tong, you lead an army of 5,000 under my banner and build a plank road day and night," Guan Zheng ordered to the generals under his command

"Repair the plank road" Ling Tong was a little unclear

"Attract Zhuge Liang's attention, think it's a feint," Guan Zheng explained to him

"Understood," Ling Tong listened to Guan Zheng's explanation, and then he understood

"The progress doesn't need to be too fast, just make a show," Guan Zheng instructed him again

"Got it," Ling Tong nodded in response

"Meng Huo, this is also difficult to walk," Wei Yan slipped under his feet, watched the stones on the soles of his feet roll down the cliff, and complained to Meng Huo

"It is precisely because it is difficult to walk, so there are not many people who walk, and it is precisely because there are not many people who walk, that Zhu Tieliang will not pay attention to the fact that there is still a road here that can go directly to Hanzhong," Meng Shu habitually called Zhuge Liang Zhu Tieliang

"When did you become so literate," Wei Yan cautiously moved his steps and said to Meng Xu, who was leading the way in front of him

"People will always change, Zhu Rong likes it," Meng Yu said of Zhu Rong, a trace of pain flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he knew that Zhu Rong's heart had flown to the little white-faced governor, and he would never come back

"Hey, Meng Huo, after this battle, I must recommend you in front of the governor, why don't you have a good man without a wife" For Zhu Rong, Meng Huo, and Guan Zheng, Wei Yan has also heard of it to some extent, but he is deeply favored by Guan Zheng, so naturally he will not say that Guan Zheng is not, and besides, the matter of love is what you and I want, so what is there to say But he sees that Meng Huo is actually not bad, at least he is very upright, so he has to comfort him like this

"Ha, let's talk about it then," Meng Shu shook his head in front of him and said

"The lord and the enemy army have begun to build the plank road" Hanzhong Taishoufu Zhuge Liang received a report from the soldiers

"Repair the plank road, haha, what do you think?" Zhuge Liang asked Qianji who was inkstone on the side

"Silly, wait for them to fix it, and we'll go over with a rocket, and tell them to work in vain," Qianji Yan said there, as if disdainful

"It is this reason to pass the order down and closely monitor those enemy troops who are repairing the plank road," Zhuge Liang praised Qianji, and turned his head to pass the order

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's military order had been issued, the soldier hugged his fists and took the order

"Speed up the progress, hurry up and transport the timber from behind," Ling Tong shouted loudly there, and the enemy troops on the opposite hill listened without taboo

"Hey, don't you fool, wait until you get to our feet, and a fire will be lit for him," the Hanzhong defenders on both sides of the valley laughed there

"I said Meng Huo, how far is it, Lao Tzu's feet are not enough" On the other side, Wei Yanzheng was half-leaning on the tree on the side of the mountain road, picking up the blisters under his feet

"Ten days, go down at this rate," Meng Shu looked at the terrain and said to Wei Yan

"Nima, it will take ten days, Lao Tzu's legs must be wasted," Wei Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that it would take ten days

"Hold on to Lao Tzu, you Meng Da Man," Ten days later, on a ramp, Wei Yan, who was limping, hugged Meng Shu's shoulders tightly and scolded

"Be quiet, it's not far from Hanzhong, do you want to bring the defenders?" Meng Shu helped Wei Yan to a reed swing next to the ramp and sat down, and whispered to him

"It's almost there, why don't you say it early, shhhhh

"Find a place to hide, rest during the day, and set off at night," Wei Yan instructed the soldiers who came to his side

"Quack, quack, chirp" When the moon was in the middle of the sky, after the sound of insects and frogs in the wilderness came, countless Yizhou generals and barbarians poured out from the reeds swaying in the wind, followed closely behind Wei Yan and Meng Shu, and touched Hanzhong City by the moonlight

"Chop some bamboo, tie some ladders, and we'll quietly climb up the city wall," Wei Yan said to him, pulling Meng Shu lightly

"The ladder is too loud, don't worry, I'll take the brute soldiers to climb the city with this, and then open the city gate and let you in," Meng Shu said, flashing the hook claw wrapped around his waist

"Just a few hundred of you, can you do it?" Wei Yan said with some concern as he looked at the shadowy figures and torches on the city wall in the distance

"Don't worry, as long as you don't alarm them, you can still feel the certainty of touching the city gate and holding on to the door opening," Meng Shu beat Wei Yan's chest and said to him

"But what if it's discovered," Wei Yan asked Meng again

"Then you will withdraw your troops and withdraw far away, and in a few days they will relax their vigilance and come back to steal the city," Meng Shu glanced at Wei Yan and instructed him

"Up" Meng Shu took hundreds of barbarian soldiers to find a blind spot that few defenders would inspect, looked back at the woods in the distance, where Wei Yan and the Han soldiers under his command were hidden, and then shouted softly, and dozens of hooked claws flew up to the city, clutching tightly on the female wall

"Hurry up, touch it, hide it first, wait for my gesture before acting," Meng Shu pressed his feet on the city wall, and clung to the rope on the hook under his ribs, and climbed upward

"Have they all come up?" After a short time, hundreds of barbarians climbed up to the top of the city one after another, squatting in the shadow of the battlements, Meng Shu looked up at the far end of the city wall, and found no trace of the defenders, so he asked left and right in a suppressed voice

"They've all come up," the brutes nodded to each other and whispered

"Touch the past, don't alarm the defenders all the way, and talk about it when you get to the city gate," Meng Shu finished speaking, pulled out the short blade on his waist, checked the edge, and took the lead in touching the city head with a short spear in his hand

"Go down, go down, hurry up" After killing a few defenders on duty along the road, everyone came to the side of the city wall without danger, and bent down to inquire left and right, Meng Shu waved his hand and ordered at the barbarians

"What man?" the brute soldiers in front of him had just followed the steps to the side of the city gate, and were spotted by the guards there

"Poof" Meng Shu jumped down and stepped down, and as soon as he pulled out the short blade, he gave the guard a chill

At this moment, the barbarians also successfully cleaned up the remaining guards

"Hurry up, open the city gate, open the city gate," Meng said that the short blade retracted from his waist, and his short body carried the thick and heavy city gate bolt on his shoulder, and ordered the barbarians around him

Under the command of Meng Shu, dozens of barbarians gritted their teeth and exerted their strength to lift the bolt of the city gate

"There is an enemy stealing the city, bell" Just when Meng Shu was secretly rejoicing, the shouts of the defenders of Hanzhong and the sound of the gong suddenly came from behind him
