Chapter 387: The Grief-stricken Liu Bei (1)

Late at night.

There was not a trace of clouds in the sky, as if a huge black curtain enveloped the entire heaven and earth.

Liu Bei rode on the war horse, looked at the city lying like a beast in the distance, turned his head to look at Fa Zheng beside him and asked.

"How long is it left?"

"King Qihan, there is still a quarter of an hour!"

Fa Zheng, who was also sitting on the war horse and beside Liu Bei, arched his hand.

Tonight, almost all of them marched out and gathered in the north of Chang'an City.

According to the agreement with Zhang Lian, when the time comes, three torches will be raised above the city gate at the same time.

And shake it three times as a sign, and when the time comes, the city gate will be opened to welcome Liu Bei into the city.

As for Ma Yan, he was politely sent away by Liu Bei a day ago.

Ma Jian didn't seem to be much surprised or flustered that he would be sent away.

is still the appearance of the cloud and the breeze, which made Liu Bei so angry that he didn't eat dinner that night.

"Xiaozhi, how long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?"

Looking at the pitch-black front, Liu Bei asked again.

There was always an uneasy feeling in his heart.

"It will arrive tomorrow night at the latest, please rest assured, as long as you take Chang'an tonight, when the reinforcements arrive, even if the reinforcements of the Wei army also arrive, there is no way!"

"yes..."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and settled his mind.

"This battle is finally coming to an end, for today, how many soldiers have stayed here forever!"

It seems to be infected by this sad emotion.

Both of them fell into silence and stopped talking.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Liu Bei's gaze never left the castle tower from beginning to end.

When the hour arrived, torches were lit on the castle tower.

The three torches shook three times at the same time, making them stand out in the dark night sky.

"Look, my lord!"

Fa Zheng exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the flickering torches on the city tower.

"All march!"

Liu Bei didn't hesitate and pointed in the direction of the city gate.

The remaining nearly 50,000 Han troops in this battle marched towards the city of Chang'an.

With a low sound, the north gate slowly opened.

It was also at this time that Liu Bei brought people to the city.

Looking at the city gate opened by the pitch-black hole, it was like the bloody mouth of a fierce beast, waiting for the entry of its prey.

Liu Bei hesitated, and the uneasiness in his heart still intensified violently.

"King, let's lead someone to enter first!"

Fa Zheng saw Liu Bei's hesitation, and immediately clenched his fists and said.

"Be careful, and if you find something wrong, withdraw immediately!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said very seriously.

"Don't worry, the king!"

With a wave of his hand, Fa Zheng was about to leave with thousands of soldiers.

But before leaving, Fa Zheng deliberately kicked the war horse's stomach with his legs.

The war horse was in pain, screamed, and shook violently in place.

As the war horse raised its front hooves violently again, Fa Zheng was directly thrown down.

"Hyozhi, are you alright?" Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly dismounted to help Fa Zheng up.

"It's okay king, I'm just frightened when I got off the warhorse, I'm afraid I can't use it anymore! I dare to ask the king to lend my mount to you! ”

Fa Zheng hurriedly got up, bowed and said.

"This ....." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Okay, just send the mount to Yu Xiaozhi!"

Fa Zheng bowed respectfully: "Thank you to the king for your success, for the king's liver and brain, and you will not give up!" “

After finishing speaking, Fa Zheng turned on his horse and walked directly towards the city gate with thousands of soldiers.

The city gate was empty, and there seemed to be no one, not even the soldiers who had just opened the city gate.

The moment he stepped into the city, Fa Zheng smiled.

He knew that his idea had really come to him, that there was an ambush here.

"Retreat.... Retreat slowly, don't panic! “

Fa Zheng lowered his voice and said to the lieutenant general behind him.

Thousands of soldiers stopped and began to slowly retreat.

It's a pity that it's still late.

A large number of torches suddenly appeared on the tower, illuminating the dark tower.

At the same time, countless rockets rushed straight at them with the sound of a volley whistling.

Countless screams rang out one after another, and in just a quarter of an hour, thousands of soldiers fell.

Fa Zheng, who took the lead, was the most miserable, because he was riding Liu Bei's mount, the targets of the rockets were basically coming towards him.

At this moment, Fa Zheng fell to the ground, his body was like a hedgehog, with countless feathered arrows inserted, and his appearance was extremely miserable!

After a rain of arrows, countless armies carrying torches were slaughtered in the city.

They all rushed over with big knives like wolves and roaring...

Liu Bei, who was waiting outside the city, almost fell off his horse the moment he saw the city gate closed.

Hearing the sound of killing during the period, Liu Bei knew that Fa Zheng would never be able to get out of the city gate again.

Liu Bei, who was full of grief and indignation, roared angrily, knowing that the matter was irreparable, he closed his eyes instead.

"Withdraw!"

Looking at Liu Bei's army who was leaving, Xiahou Nan, who was standing on the top of the city tower, sneered and said to Yu Ban on the side.

"I'm afraid this big-eared thief won't see the sun tomorrow!" 、

"Please also ask the general to act according to the plan!"

Yu Ban smiled slightly, looked at Xiahou Nan and arched his hand.

At this moment, Zhang Lian, who was covered in blood, slowly walked over.

Seeing that Xiahou Nan and Yu Ban were looking at him, Zhang Lian smiled and wiped the blood on his face. "Not mine!"

"Prepare, gather the whole army, our chance for revenge has arrived!"

A cruel smile appeared on Xiahou Nan's face...

...

After some twists and turns, the lonely Liu Bei finally saw his military camp.

At this time, he missed Fazheng very much.

Fazheng, who was still talking to him about his future plans when he left, can't come back now.

The grief and indignation in Liu Bei's heart had reached the extreme.

"Xiahou Nan, Zhang Lian..."Liu Bei gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

"When the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!!"

Slowly walking into the camp, Liu Bei felt unprecedented exhaustion.

At this moment, he just wants to get drunk and let himself rest unconsciously.

Turning over and dismounting, Liu Bei, who was about to order the whole army to rest, was suddenly stunned.

Why didn't the hundreds of sergeants who stayed in the camp show up at this moment?

Not only that, but the whole camp seemed to be eerily quiet.

"That's not right!"

Liu Bei immediately realized that something was wrong, but he absolutely couldn't mess up.

As soon as you panic yourself, the whole army will be in disarray, and by that time, the losses will be incalculable.

"Withdraw... Slowly get out of the way."

Liu Bei carefully commanded the troops to change and retreat, but it was too late.

At the moment when the armies changed directions and retreated, the lights in the various military tents in the camp were suddenly brightly lit, and shouts of killing were everywhere.....
