At the east gate of Chengdu, the onslaught of Liu Cong's army is still continuing, and the chaos in Chengdu is also fermenting. More and more people knew that Liu Cong's army had lost patience and was ready to attack the city in an all-out way. And the soldiers of the other three gates, under the guidance of the common people, also knew that Liu Cong's army surrounded Sanque One. Because there were catapults at the west gate, a large number of people went about the city. Some soldiers stationed at the South Gate couldn't bear to see that their villagers had nowhere to go, so they let them wait for an opportunity near the South Gate......

The chaos in the city is getting worse and worse, which makes Huang Quan very worried. If there are more than a dozen people, dozens of people, Huang Quan can ignore them. If it is a hundred or ten people, or a thousand people, he can also send troops to disperse, or maintain order on the spot. But if it grows to thousands or even tens of thousands of people to make trouble, then he will be a little unbearable, and he can't deal with the people like he does with the enemy army, otherwise it will arouse even greater public anger.

The city could not be captured for a long time, and Liu Cong's army outside the city was not easy. The enemy soldiers surrounded and did not go, and the people in the city were also panicked, and at this moment, the opposing coaches Liu Cong and Huang Quan were not easy. However, Liu Cong seems to be under less pressure, because, the big deal is that he accepts Zhuge Liang's opinion and goes back to Yucheng to rectify the soldiers and horses, so that Zhuge Liang can continue to lead the troops in consumption.

Since Zhuge Liang received the order, he took 3,000 soldiers to find an open place in the east far from the camp and did secret business. Liu Cong also went to the camp from time to time to point and urge the degree. And the lantern was named Kong Ming Lantern with great care. Zhuge Liang resolutely refused at first, but Liu Cong was the lord, what did he say. Such a huge siege prop has a resounding name!

A few days later, Liu Cong patrolled the camp and saw that Zhuge Liang's camp was full of various materials, and the finished products were dazzling. Three thousand soldiers rushed to work day and night, and tens of thousands of them were already piled up in the camp

It's time to give Huang Quan the final blow!

At noon, outside the east gate of Chengdu, Liu Cong once again took Liao Hua to the city to persuade him to surrender, making his last effort. Because Liu Cong knew that once the siege was launched at night, the loss of Chengdu would be extraordinary. But he had to do it. Although Guan Yu and Wei Yan in the north repeatedly wrote that everything was safe. Liu Cong knew in his heart that the two generals were arrogant. It's not that you encounter great difficulties, and you will never shout that you are tired. However, the letters from Pang Tong and Zhang Song just illustrated Liu Cong's judgment, and he and Huang Quan could no longer afford to delay.

But if you wait for Guan Yu and Wei Yan to write that they can't resist and ask for support, I'm afraid it's too late. Although Zhang Lu's army and Ma Chao's cavalry are likely to step into Shuzhong. There is also the barbarian king Meng Shu, who knows if he will capture Jianwei, Jianning and other counties in the name of begging for grain and grass. Of course, Liu Cong was most worried about Cao Cao.

It was himself who gave the news to Cao Cao at the beginning, hoping that Cao Cao would send troops to contain Zhang Lu and Ma Chao.

But Cao Cao is such a shrewd person, he will grasp the right proportion. He will let Zhang Lu and Ma Chao knock on the front for him, once the two of them enter the pass, he will lead a large army to follow ......, or he knows that Shuzhong is about to fall into a melee, Liu Cong can't get out, so he simply turns around and goes east and south to Jingzhou......

In short, after staying outside Chengdu for a long time, Liu Cong decided to attack!

But the persuasion was still ineffective, although Huang Quan was worried about the riots in the city, but he hoped that Liu Cong would withdraw from the army.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Cong's camp outside the east gate. All the generals had gathered in the camp. Together with the West Gate Fa Zheng, the South Gate Jiang Qin, the North Gate Xing Daorong, Huang Zhong, Yu Ban and so on crowded the camp tents.

"You have all arrived, we are besieging Chengdu, and it will be nearly a month, and there will be another month for summer harvest and autumn planting. The war in the north has started, and Zhang Lu has already set off with his troops, so we don't have more time to spend here! Tonight will be the last battle, and I must capture Huang Quan alive tonight! ”

The generals were first cheered up, and then you look at me, I look at you, these days the lord and Mr. Kong Ming are mysterious, aren't they secret weapons ready to be together? Of course, some people are elated, and some people don't think about it without a wrinkle. Huang Zhong, Jiang Qin and others were very excited. Since the siege of Chengdu, the lord has always emphasized the cultural offensive to reduce losses. As a result, Liu Zhang surrendered, but a Huang Quan came.

This Huang Quan is simply a stone in a pit, smelly and hard! Now that the lord has made up his mind, they are the generals, and they are naturally excited.

The sad faces include Zhang Ren and Yu Ban and others, Zhang Ren is worried about the people of Chengdu! For a long time, he planned to attack Chengdu with Liu Cong, and gave preferential treatment to Liu Zhang's new village, but now the situation, he knows that he can't blame Liu Cong. Since he was going to attack, Zhang Ren only hoped that the casualties of the people of Chengdu would be smaller.

Yu Ban is more worried about the military, in the past nearly a month, in addition to his own casualties of seven or eight thousand, the Chengdu defenders have suffered less than five thousand casualties, and there are only a few gaps in the city wall of the East Gate.

"These days, the stalemate between the two sides has made the soldiers very tired, but fortunately, Mr. Kong Ming and I have found a way to deal with the defenders of Chengdu. So it's not a problem to win Chengdu tonight. I just hope that you will cheer up and don't let go of those who have been our enemies for a long time! ”

"The generals will obey!"

Suddenly, the camp was quiet, and the generals straightened their backs one by one, waiting for orders. Liu Cong glanced at everyone and stood up.

"Huang Zhong and Xing Daorong listen to the order! The two of you, tonight, lead the men and horses to ambush outside the east gate, and when you hear the signal flag, you will enter the east gate, seize the east gate, and then stick to the east gate, and no one will go out of the city! ”

"The last will be ordered!"

"Fa Zheng, Jiang Qin, the two of you are in charge of Ximen!"

"Yu Ban, Zhang Ren, the two of you are in charge of the North Gate!"

"Zhao Yun, you lead five thousand men and horses to hold on to your own position!"

"Take 10,000 men with each gate, and the rest of the soldiers will move with me to the south gate before dark!

"Generals, when attacking the city at night, focus on my south gate, you must pay attention to protecting your subordinates and reducing casualties! You guys wait to see the big show, hahahaha......"

"The last general understands!"

"Let's go down and prepare, Kong Ming will quickly arrange for the soldiers to transfer Kong Ming's lanterns!"

The night came again in the midst of the noise, gradually swallowing up the light, and the inside and outside of the city became gradually silent from mockery!

"Sir, are you all ready?" Liu Cong asked Zhuge Liang in the lantern pile.

"Lord, rest assured, everything is ready!"

"Let's get started!" Liu Cong was also a little impatient, this thing was used on the battlefield for the first time, and I don't know how effective it was.

"Put the positioning lights!" A craftsman shouted skillfully, and soon, a Kong Ming lantern was rising, and in the breeze blowing things, it slowly crossed the moat, crossed the city wall, and floated towards the city......

"Ghost ...... Ghost Fire! As soon as the bright Kong Ming lantern rose into the air, it attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city. Seeing this flickering light and darkness, sometimes high and sometimes low, the faces of the soldiers at the head of the city turned green and they were terrified.

"Bang!" The Kong Ming lantern suddenly burst as it flew over the tower, and the fireballs fell to the ground in all directions, igniting a fire.

"Hell, there really are ghosts! The ghost is coming! After all, some of the soldiers could not resist their fear, and ran quickly towards the city, shouting and screaming as they ran.

"The wick is too short, extend it by another two inches!" An old craftsman said with great experience!

Of course, there was a rush again, and they began to extend the wick of Kong Ming beside him.

……

"Report, report to the general, South Gate ......"

"What's wrong with the South Gate?" Just after nightfall, Huang Quan saw the herald coming to report, and hurriedly jumped up and asked.

"The South Gate is haunted!"

"Fart!" Huang Quan was so angry in his heart, this was clearly Liu Cong's trick, surround the three and leave the south gate alone. Now the South Gate is haunted, how can there be such a coincidence!

"Really, General, I'll see it with our own eyes! Many soldiers also saw ......"

Seeing that the herald's face was serious, Huang Quan knew that he didn't dare to report indiscriminately, "You really see it clearly?" ”

"Yes, many people have seen it, and the ghost fire ......"

"Got it, you go back first and tell General Wu Yi that this is an enemy trick, and it is to strengthen patrols at night!"

The herald went back to his life in frustration, at this time Wu Yi was taking many soldiers to guard the city and watched closely outside the city, the soldiers were noisy at the beginning, saying that he didn't believe it was haunted, but now he was also stunned. One looks up, one, two, three......

Not far from the outside of the city, unknown objects rose up with a bright light, and then there was a posture floating towards the city wall. Could it really be a ghost fire, Wu Yi is more knowledgeable than ordinary soldiers, and his brain can't turn at this moment, staring blankly at the place at the gradually approaching ghost fire.

"Mom, the ghosts are coming, a group of ghosts are coming, run!" I don't know who on the city wall suddenly shouted, and suddenly everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Mom, run!"

"Help......"

Well? Wu Yi suddenly came to his senses, if they all ran away, who would defend the city?

"Don't run, come back!"

But most of the soldiers did not listen to him and fled......

Wu Yi tried his best to keep himself calm, even if it was a ghost, it was impossible for him to appear for no reason, Wu Yi was unwilling to retreat before seeing them hurt a large number of soldiers, this is the difference between a general and a soldier!

Moving? It's a figure, an enemy army, it's definitely an enemy army! General Huang Quan is right, sure enough, the enemy's ghost tricks!

"It's all quiet, give me back, it's not a ghost fire, it's not a ghost fire! It's the enemy, come back and hold your ground! Seeing his subordinates fleeing for their lives in embarrassment, Wu Yi roared angrily: "Whoever doesn't listen to the military order again, the gossip will kill the people!" ”

With Wu Yi's words, those who didn't have time to escape from the city wall stopped again.

Fleeing the position is death, and ghost fire does not necessarily kill! Under Wu Yi's roar, he finally didn't escape. However, the soldiers who remained in place still watched closely at the approaching ghost fire. The fear is self-evident.

Maybe they also believe Wu Yi's words, this is the enemy's trick, but after all, they haven't seen this thing before? Have you ever seen a flying lantern?

Even Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and the like have never seen it. Guo Jia. Jia Xu reborn, he won't be calm when he sees this scene, not to mention that they are some ordinary soldiers who are physically and mentally exhausted guarding the city day and night? Fear is amplifying, if it weren't for Wu Yi's death threat, the ghost would be willing to stay!
