Chapter 995: Huang Gong's Troubles (Part II)

"The chief of the text can send more scouts around his city, and if his army dares to go out of the city, build a deep ditch and earth fortress. I'll lead the cavalry into attack!! ”

When Wei Yan heard this, his face sank, and he made arrangements according to Zhao Yun's order.

At the same time, in Zitong City, Meng Xu's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be about to drip black water, and asked Huang Quan.

"Now that Zhao Zilong has arrived, presumably most of the soldiers and horses are coming. But under the city of Zitong, the precautions are not yet complete. What if the other army attacks and our reinforcements do not arrive!? ”

Huang Quan's closed eyes slowly opened, his expression froze, and he replied with his hands open.

"The king can rest assured. Wen Bufan's soldiers and horses have fought viciously in recent years, all of them are tired, and they want to recuperate, so that the soldiers can rest, and the marching process is by no means fast, and they will not come to Zitong City in less than half a month. However, the Northwest Army is strong, and the generals are like clouds. Do not neglect to be prepared. The king should be swift. ”

"Huang Gong is sure of this!?"

Meng Shu's green eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked at Huang Quan tightly and asked. Huang Quan didn't answer, but just responded with his head bowed. Meng Shu saw that Huang Quan looked confident, and he was a little anxious. At that moment, according to Huang Quan's words, he ordered the generals to go out of the city to build deep ditches and earth fortresses at the third watch tonight.

Nothing happened all night until the third watch. Thousands of barbarians went out of the city and built deep ditches and earthen fortresses as ordered. Half an hour later, suddenly a cannon rang out, and a group of men and horses rushed over. The leader is riding a snow-white BMW and carrying a shining silver spear. When the barbarians saw this, they all recognized Zhao Yun's identity, and they were so frightened that they ran away. Zhao Yun led his troops to rush to the city, and killed countless barbarians in a burst of killing. The barbarians fled in confusion, screaming incessantly, and rushed to the city gates, shouting to open the door. When the defenders of the city saw this, they were about to open the door, but they saw Zhao Yun leading troops to kill, and the city guards were afraid that Zhao Yun would seize the city gate, so they ordered the door to be closed. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the barbarians outside the city were intimidated by Zhao Yun's might and shouted surrender. Zhao Yun's sword eyes were cold, so he ordered the soldiers to stop the rush, capture all the barbarians outside the city, and escort them back to the camp.

When the city guards saw Zhao Yun retreating, they hurriedly reported to Meng Shu. When Meng Shu heard that Zhao Yun was attacking and escorted away many soldiers, he was immediately furious.

At dawn, Meng Yu urgently ordered Huang Quan to come over to discuss. Huang Quan heard about the past, shook his head and sighed, and said in a condensed voice.

"Zhao Zilong only led more than 1,000 people, but there were more than 10,000 troops in the city, why was he so weak? The king can order the defenders of the city, if he sees Zhao Zilong attacking tonight, he must not close the door, he should take the initiative to fight and repel it!! ”

When Meng Shu heard this, he came to his senses, knowing that the soldiers of the army were afraid of Zhao Yun's bravery, so he ordered that if anyone retreated tonight, they would be killed! When the armies were ordered, they were all nervous.

It's the third watch of the day again, and the night is dark. The brutes went out of the city again to build deep ditches and earthen ramparts. Soon, Zhao Yun really led troops to kill again, but this time the barbarians did not retreat, and temporarily retreated to the city gate suspension bridge. Zhao Yun waved his troops to kill, and there was a cannon fire in the city, and arrows rained down. The rain of arrows was extremely dense, and the night was dark, making it difficult to see. The Northwest Army was shot and retreated, with many casualties. Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. At this time, the brute soldiers on the suspension bridge rushed up, looking at Zhao Yun to rush over. Zhao Yun suddenly raised his gun, entered the crowd, fought for a while, and saw that the barbarians were brave and fearless of death, desperately trying to block them. Zhao Yun was surprised in his heart, and he didn't want to entangle more, so he withdrew his army and retreated. The barbarians repelled Zhao Yun, and the sky was already bright, and they all retreated to the city to rest.

When Zhao Yun returned to the village, Wei Yan saw that his subordinates were all tired, and said to Zhao Yun very worriedly.

"General Zhao, the army has a meager number of troops, and everyone is tired, if the other army takes the opportunity to attack the camp, what should it do?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyes couldn't help but show a little horror, if it weren't for Wei Yan's reminder, he wouldn't have woken up. Zhao Yun's face immediately became calm. After a while, Zhao Yun shot out two rays of light with a pair of sword eyes, and then smiled with Wei Yan.

"Haha. I'm expecting the other side to attack. The length of the text can be so and so. ”

Zhao Yun immediately told Wei Yan a plan, and when Wei Yan heard it, his face changed continuously, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"General Zhao's plan is wonderful, it is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone!!"

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan looked at each other and smiled, and Wei Yan arranged according to Zhao Yun's arrangement.

It's the third watch of the day again. Thousands of barbarian soldiers went out of the city to build deep ditches and earthen ramparts. After a while, there was a roar of drums, and the shouts of killing broke out one after another, so frightened that the barbarians ran like frightened birds, retreated to the drawbridge, and picked up their weapons one after another, ready to fight. The torches in the city were disorganized, and the soldiers drew their bows and arrows to prepare for the attack. I don't know how long it took, but there was no movement in the distance, and the shouting and killing just now seemed to have never sounded before. When the barbarian was suspicious, the shouting of killing shook again, which frightened the barbarian again. This time, countless figures were seen in all directions, but they did not attack. Repeatedly, the barbarians were so frightened that the spirit of the barbarians was tense, and it was not until dawn that the shouts of killing that came from time to time were stopped.

The barbarian guards in the city saw that this was strange, so they came to report to Meng Shu. When Meng heard that the Northwest Army was attacking again last night, and there was no progress in the defense of his own army, he was so confused that he urgently called Huang Quan to come over to discuss. Huang Quan listened to the previous events, pondered for a while, seemed to have guessed the plan of the other army, and said in a condensed voice.

"This is a bluff by the other army. However, listening to the situation last night, the Northwest Army used a lot of soldiers and horses, so the king could let it go and wait for work. After a few days, the army will attack its village, and it will definitely be able to break the other army!! ”

When Meng Shu heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he asked Huang Quan.

"The Northwest Army used so many soldiers and horses, why didn't they wave their troops to fight, but just bluffed!?"

"Most of the people in the Northwest Army are the former subordinates of the Great King, and there are less than a few thousand Han soldiers. If you let the brutes attack, but you are afraid of their betrayal. However, if you use your own soldiers and horses, you are afraid that the casualties will be too heavy, and it will be difficult to guard the camp and deter the barbarians in the village. The army wanted to repay its Han forces, so it was. ”

Huang Quan patiently analyzed them with Meng Huo one by one. After hearing this, Meng also felt that this was the case, and immediately according to Huang Quan's plan, he gave his own orders. In the following days, the Northwest Army bluffed overnight, and the progress of the barbarian defense was extremely slow. After the fifth day, at the beginning of the night, as soon as the moon rose, Meng Shouqin led a group of men and horses to kill the northwest camp.

Seeing that his village was very quiet, Meng Shu thought that his army must not have expected that he would send troops to attack tonight. The corners of Meng Huo's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a hideous smile, took out the sword at his waist, and made a sharp move, ordering the soldiers to attack. As soon as Meng Shu's order fell, the shouts of killing suddenly burst into flames, and he saw nearly five or six thousand barbarian soldiers rushing towards the northwest camp. Meng Huo rushed into the village on horseback, but when he saw that there was no one inside, his heart suddenly twitched, his face changed drastically, and he knew what was going on, so he hurriedly looked back and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

At this moment, two cannons outside the village rang out in unison. Zhao Yun led a group of soldiers and horses to kill from the mountains and forests on the left, and Wei Yan led a group of soldiers and horses to rush out from the mountains and forests on the right. The barbarians were unexpected, and there was a big chaos. The two Northwest armies attacked left and right, and they did not show any fatigue, and each of them was extremely brave, and the barbarians scattered and fled. Seeing that the Northwest soldiers were so brave, Meng was puzzled and frightened, so he hurriedly turned his horse and retreated. Zhao Yun rushed into the chaotic army, rushing to kill pieces of blood, just in time for Meng Shu, who was fleeing. Zhao Yunjian's eyes suddenly burst out with two terrifying murderous aura, and with a loud roar, the horse flew away, rushing to intercept and kill Meng Shu. When Meng Shu saw Zhao Yun, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly reined in his horse and fled. Zhao Yun rushed into the chaotic army, several teams of barbarians frantically came to block, Zhao Yun angrily danced the gentian bright silver spear and stabbed non-stop, killing all the way to chase Meng Shu. Meng Shu walked away in embarrassment, turned into a small road, and galloped away at the bottom of the mountain. It happened that the night was dark, and Zhao Yun chased and lost Meng Shu in the midst of the chaotic army. Subsequently, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan joined forces to lead the army to kill the barbarian soldiers, captured more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers, and collected the army back to the village.

It turned out that during these days, most of the people who shouted and bluffed outside the city were brutes. Zhao Yun divided the barbarian soldiers into dozens of teams, each team of fifty or sixty people, no armor, no weapons, seven or eight well-equipped Han soldiers to monitor, all over the four mountains and forests outside Zitong City, shouting and killing. Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses in the northwest have been resting and recuperating in recent days, so they are so powerful when they are able to fight.

However, it was said that Meng Shu fled back to Zitong City, and came to see Huang Quan angrily, and Huang Quan saw that Meng Shu was angry, and before he could react, he saw Meng Shu raise his sword and wanted to cut at him. Seeing this, Meng You hurriedly pulled his sword against it. Huang Quan was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated. Meng Shu shouted loudly, his green eyes widened, and he was so angry that he seemed to have lost his mind.

"Little brother, don't stop me!! This man is really a spy, and I was almost killed by him, if I don't kill him, how can I vent the hatred in my heart!! ”

Meng was drunk, and he danced his sword and slashed violently. Meng You hurriedly swung his sword to resist, shouting loudly.

"The king is angry!! If Huang Gong had an affair with his army, how dare he stay here!? ”

When Meng Shu heard this, his burly and huge body stopped suddenly. Huang Quan hurriedly stabilized his mind and said to Meng Shuzuo.

"My lord and Wen Bufan are incompatible, how can I help the thief?! Don't fall for the thieves!! ”

Meng Shu suppressed the anger in his heart, his green eyes narrowed, and he immediately pondered. Meng You then asked the soldiers who came with Meng Yu what happened at the right time. The barbarian still had palpitations on his face, and he told him everything about the past one by one. Huang Quan heard it, and only then did he know the plan, and hurriedly analyzed Zhao Yun's plans one by one, and the calculation was almost perfect. Meng was relieved of his anger after hearing this, but he remembered that it had taken a lot of time now, but the progress of the precautions was slow, and most of Wen Han's troops and horses were approaching, so he was so anxious that he burned his brows, and scolded Huang Quan repeatedly, saying that he had missed the opportunity and wanted to increase the punishment.

Meng Youyi and Meng were persuaded.

"The so-called hundred secrets must be sparse, and victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. How could a king punish him for a single mistake? What's more, if it weren't for Huang Gong's plan on the spot, whether we could withdraw Zitong was still unknown. Now we should work together to fight against the Northwest Bandits. If the king insists on blaming Huang Gong, he is not in the hands of the traitor!? ”

Meng You drank sharply, and Meng Yu came to his senses, although he didn't like Huang Quan in his heart, he still suppressed his anger and apologized to Huang Quan.
