On the evening of October 10, Deng Mao's group of Yellow Turban troops finally arrived at a plain five miles away from Zhuo County, and everyone since the uprising on the fifth day of the first month, all the way around the nearby county town, hurried here, everyone was a little tired, so Deng Mao did not immediately attack the city after arriving here, but camped in the same place and rested.

After Liu Yi saw Deng Mao and others set up camp, he hurriedly called Cheng Yu and others to the temporary command post, which was set up in the city not far from the city gate, where Liu Yi and others could go up to the city tower at any time to check the enemy's situation.

At this time, the suspension bridge under Zhuoxian County has already been put away, the city gate is closed, there are hundreds of soldiers in the gate, the city towers on all sides are full of archers, each archer has more than 100 arrows under his feet, at this time the archers have already set up arrows, just waiting for Liu Yi's order to attack.

In the command post, a two-meter-square table placed a topographic map near Zhuo County, at this time the sky was getting dark, Liu Yi raised an oil lamp to illuminate the entire map, and then pointed to mark the place where Deng Mao and others were stationed and said to everyone, "This is where the thieves are, everyone comes to talk about their thoughts, don't scruples, speak freely!" ”

Without waiting for Cheng Yu and the others to speak, Zhang Fei on the side shouted, "Lord! Why don't we take advantage of the rest of this gang of thieves and go up to give him a sneak attack and catch him off guard! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei and nodded appreciatively, then took out a piece of paper, wrote the word "sneak attack" on it, and said: "What Yide said is also a way, thieves travel long distances, and their physical strength is definitely not as good as ours, and at this time, the attack may really get miraculous results!" ”

"Look at it! The lord also agrees with my old Zhang's idea! Zhang Fei shouted a little proudly.

"Lord, I'll take four thousand cavalry to fight the lead now, and you can give me a raid later!" Then you'll see how I clean up these thieves! ”

Liu Yi saw that Zhang Fei was really going to sneak attack, so he hurriedly stopped, "You wait first, let's see what else Mr. Cheng has to say!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu with a look of hope.

At this time, Cheng Yu, who was staring at the map and thinking, saw Liu Yi talking about himself, and hurriedly retracted his mind and said to Liu Yi, "General Zhang's attention is indeed good, but after all, our people have not experienced such a big battle, and they lack the courage to face a big battle, so I suggest that we should focus on defense!" After the soldiers have experienced several major battles, it is not too late to take the initiative after overcoming the fear in their hearts! Moreover, this gang of thieves has attacked here directly from the beginning of the rebellion, and there will not be much grain and grass with them, as long as we don't keep it out, it won't take a few days to retreat! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately displeased: "Sir, why is this tone again!" The so-called once born and twice matured, if we are always so timid, we don't want to fight in this life, we will all nest at home! ”

"Yide must not be unreasonable to Mr.!" Liu Yi said angrily.

"Sir is right, what our team lacks most now is combat experience, this time we should practice first!"

After speaking, Liu Yi asked Cheng Yu again: "Sir, then let's just wait for them to attack?"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he looked at Liu Yi and replied, "Of course not!" The so-called "soldiers who go to the army to attack the heart of the people, who surrender without a fight, and those who are good are also good!" ”

"Sir, don't do anything, you're going to die in a hurry, if you have any tricks, just say it! If you don't have any tricks, do as I say! ”

Cheng Yu ignored Zhang Fei's provocation, looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Does the general usually like vocal music?" ”

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and replied puzzledly, "I don't know how to play the piano, if you let me beat the big drum, it's okay." Hey~ Why are you asking this? Isn't Mr. Mo still going to burn incense and touch the piano before the war to cultivate his sentiments? ”

Cheng Yu knew that Zhang Fei was laughing at himself, so he smiled and replied, "The enemy is current, how can Cheng still be in the mood to cultivate his sentiments now!" ”

"Then why are you asking this?"

Cheng Yu told everyone what he thought, and everyone looked at Cheng Yu with a ruthless expression after hearing it.

"I didn't expect Mr. to usually look like a gentleman, but it's actually wilting!" Zhang Fei grinned.

"The general has won the prize!"

The crowd laughed.

According to Cheng Yu's suggestion, Liu Yi ordered someone to carry up two big drums, and selected dozens of soldiers with high voices in the defenders, and then ordered people to put the big drums on two carriages, each carriage was pulled by two strong war horses, and after everything was ready, Liu Yi took Zhang Fei and others to the carriage.

"Yide, you must remember the words of the gentleman, and you must not be reckless!"

"Lord, don't worry! There is no joke in the army! I still know this, and since I promised you and my husband, I will definitely act according to my lord's orders."

Seeing Zhang Fei agreeing so happily, Liu Yi was still a little uneasy, so he instructed Wang San to watch Zhang Fei.

After the sky was completely dark, Zhang Fei and Wang San led dozens of soldiers and two carriages to sneak out of the city through a hidden small gate.

......

At this time, Deng Mao and others here, because of the long journey, the soldiers have long been a little exhausted, after hastily eating dinner, everyone found a place to lie down and rest, leaving only a few teams of soldiers who took turns to keep vigil, Deng Mao because he has been riding a horse, so it is not so tired in comparison, at this time Deng Mao is drinking and eating meat in the tent with a few henchmen.

"General, do you think those people in Zhuo County will come to attack us at night?" One of Deng Mao's subordinates said with some concern while pouring wine for Deng Mao at this time.

"Hmph~ A bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled still dare to sneak attack us? I'm afraid that he won't come, it's better to come, so that Lao Tzu will have to fight to attack the city tomorrow."

Deng Mao had already drunk a little too much at this time, and he was already talking loudly.

"What the general said is, I'm afraid those untouchables must be burning incense at home and kowtowing to ask God for blessing!" Another subordinate next to him shouted laughing.

Deng Mao put down his wine glass and laughed when he heard this, and the people around him also laughed.

After laughing a few times, Deng Mao picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, then swayed his body, his eyes were full of lewd light and said, "Damn, I've been tired enough for Lao Tzu these days, and tomorrow after the city, I must find a few girls with fine skin and tender meat to be comfortable!" ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the girls in the city will be eager to let the general pamper her!"

Deng Mao raised his head and laughed again when he heard this.

"Don't worry! You all have a share, you all have a share! Hahaha..."

A few people were full of obscenity, suddenly heard the roar of war drums outside the village, the sound of killing, several people were so frightened that they woke up more than half of the wine, and they stood up in a mess to find the weapons around them, and the wine and food in front of them were kicked to the ground.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack~"

The sharp shouts resounded throughout the camp at once, and suddenly the whole camp was in chaos.

......

At this time, less than a mile away from the camp of Deng Mao and others, Zhang Fei and Wang San were standing on the carriage, the drum sticks in their hands raining down on the war drums made of cowhide, and dozens of soldiers beside them were shouting with their necks pulled.

"Kill~"

Zhang Fei shouted while waving the drum stick vigorously: "Shout loudly for me!" Wake up all these bastards! ”

At this time, Deng Mao's camp was brightly lit and noisy, and after about ten minutes, Zhang Fei and others finally saw Deng Mao.

I saw that at this time, Deng Mao was shirtless, carrying a wide-backed machete in his hand, and rode a brown war horse out of the camp surrounded by everyone.

As soon as Zhang Fei saw Deng Mao, he knew that this person was the head of the thief, put down the drum stick and picked up the Zhangba snake spear and was about to get on the horse. ”

Zhang Fei turned around and shouted, "What are you dragging me for!?" I'm going to cut off the thief's head."

After speaking, Zhang Fei tore off Wang San's hand and was about to get on the horse.

Hearing this, Wang San hurriedly handed the drum stick to the soldier next to him, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Fei, "Big brother!" Have you forgotten what the Lord commanded when he was leaving? Now you are disobeying the orders of the army! The lord will definitely blame when the time comes! ”

Zhang Fei stopped his movements when he heard this, lowered his head and sighed unwillingly after thinking about it, "Alas~"

Wang San saw that Zhang Fei had been stopped, and looked at the Yellow Turban Army who was rushing towards everyone not far away, and said hurriedly, "Big brother, let's go!" It's too late to go! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still beckoned everyone to retreat.

Because everyone came on horseback, and the two war drums were also pulled by carriages, they ran extremely fast, and when Deng Mao and the others arrived, Zhang Fei and the others had already disappeared into the night.

"Count you fast running! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will have to pick your skin! Deng Mao raised the machete in his hand and said hatefully in the direction where Zhang Fei and the others disappeared.

Seeing Zhang Fei and the others fleeing, Deng Mao returned to the camp with the people, and after a brief tidying up, everyone began to rest again.

Zhang Fei and the others, who were hiding in the distance, saw that Deng Mao and the others had gone back, so they looked at the vicinity of the camp again, and estimated that when the Yellow Turban Army was about to fall asleep, Zhang Fei and the others began to beat drums and shout again.

Deng Mao and the others, who had just laid down to rest, were just about to fall asleep at this time, when they heard the sound of rushing and killing outside, so they hurriedly got up and went out of the village to meet the enemy.

When Deng Mao and the others came to the place where the drums sounded, Zhang Fei and the others had already run away without a trace.

Deng Mao looked at the horseshoe prints in the place and stomped his feet angrily, scolded for more than ten minutes, and then took everyone back to the village after being a little exhausted.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, Deng Mao's clothes had not been taken off, Zhang Fei and others beat the war drums outside the village, and Deng Mao and others hurriedly put on their clothes and came out to meet the enemy.

After coming out, Zhang Fei and the others disappeared again.

In this way, tossing back and forth until midnight, Deng Mao and the others didn't even see the shadow of Zhang Fei and the others, but they were tired enough to choke on themselves.

When the war drums sounded again, Deng Mao sat on the makeshift wooden bed and said to his henchmen while drinking, "Damn, these bastards are obviously not allowed to sleep with us!" Tell the soldiers to ignore it! Keep resting! ”

"General, no! I'm afraid they just want us to let our guard down and then rush in! ”

After hearing this, Deng Mao hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and shouted, "Go out of the village to meet the enemy!" ”

The so-called smart is mistaken by the smart! What Deng Mao's subordinates said was very reasonable, but who would have thought that Liu Yi and the others had no intention of sneaking up on them in the first place, and the reason why they did this was simply because they didn't want them to rest.
