Chapter 598: A Tired Army's Plan
Zhang Liao stopped Cang Ci's idea of asking the Wu army to retreat and shoot Zhu Huan, in fact, it was not that Zhang Liao didn't want to, but that his physical strength was also seriously consumed after a big battle at the moment, and his age was not young, so he naturally couldn't compare to Zhu Huan, if Zhu Huan was desperate because of this, even if he killed the other party in the end, if he suffered heavy casualties on his side, it would be a matter of great importance to lose Yicheng, and he would definitely not be able to escape Cao Cao's punishment when he went back.
Zhu Huan was the last to retreat, and he was also carrying a personal soldier who died in battle on his side, and muttered: "Brother, take you home!" ”
Qu Jun withdrew, the defenders of the city cheered wildly, but Zhang Liao was not much excited, he knew that since Zhou Yu was able to launch a surprise attack, it was obvious that his uncle would not withdraw the army hastily like this, and there would be a more tragic battle behind, after the order to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield, he also returned to the mansion with the equipment, and his son Zhang Hu was already waiting in the courtyard, covered in blood, and his mother who rushed to hear the news was distressed.
"Father, son is fortunate not to be dishonored!" When Zhang Hu saw his father coming, he immediately paid a visit.
Looking at his son's pale face, Zhang Liao suddenly saw the wound on the thigh, and his heart was also inexplicably distressed, and he immediately said: "Yes, you will be a partial general in the future!" Let's go down and bandage the wound first, and then heal the wound, there will be a big battle ahead! ”
"Thank you, father! Stand down, child! Zhang Hu is also the end of the strong crossbow, just a strong support, at the moment I want to walk away, but my body shook and threw himself on the ground, Zhang Liao stepped forward and held it, and said to the left and right: "Send it to the left and right!" ”
Maybe it was because of the heavy casualties in the battle, Zhou Yu knew that it was dark and did not send troops to attack the city again, but the atmosphere in the city was slowly tense. Zhang Liao didn't dare to be careless, and after resting for a few hours, he personally went to check everywhere, and asked people to repair the damaged city walls and various defensive facilities as soon as possible, and prepare standing materials such as wood, stones, and fire oil, and step up their vigilance.
However, in the middle of the night, Zhang Liao, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a sound of drums and gongs, and the clear noise of the hour dispelled his sleepiness in an instant.
Zhang Liao sat up straight in an instant, and when he listened carefully, the sound of drums and shouting and killing became clearer.
And Cang Ci's voice immediately sounded outside the door: "Report to the general, the Wu army has attacked the city!" ”
Zhang Liao immediately rushed out of the door and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly send a message to the whole city to be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
A moment later, Zhang Liao hurriedly climbed the city wall, holding his sword and staring into the distance outside the city.
The night was like ink, the vision was not clear, and it seemed that there were dark shadows swaying outside the city, although the momentum was loud, but it did not look like a large-scale siege.
What you see in front of you is a little different from what Zhang Liao imagined.
When tens of thousands of nervous soldiers all landed in the city, and the men, women, and children of the city were frightened in their dreams, the sound of gongs and drums outside the city suddenly stopped.
After a while, even those vague figures disappeared.
Wu Jun outside the city seemed to have just come out to play soy sauce.
Although Zhang Liao was confused, he did not dare to despise it, and sent scouts to quietly go out of the city to reconnoitre, and after tossing for more than half an hour, he was convinced that there was no trace of the enemy outside the city.
Bai was nervous, Zhang Liao had to order the sergeants to go back to rest, and instructed the guards on duty to cheer up and not let the enemy see the gap.
All the soldiers went back to the camp very depressed, and after the tension was so sleepy that they fell asleep.
After Zhang Liao returned to the mansion, he took off his clothes and armor listlessly, and after a while, he soon fell asleep again.
After less than two hours of sleep, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again.
Zhang Liao was taken aback, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly put on his armor and clothes, and ordered the soldiers to go to the city to prepare for battle.
When I hurried to the city again, I still saw a few vague figures in the night, knocking and beating for a long time, and when the defenders of Yicheng were almost all together, the other party carried the beaten soy sauce and drove away.
was tossed twice in a row, Zhang Liao was now a little confused about whether he was awake or asleep, and in a trance, he thought he was dreaming.
"Dog mongrel, what the hell is it doing."
"Fuck your mother."
……
The soldiers were furious and scolded one by one.
They would rather have a big fight with the enemy, being played with like clowns, holding back the fire in their stomachs without venting their opponents, as if they were going crazy with depression.
Zhang Liao looked at the darkness outside the city before dawn and pondered, and suddenly raised his head: "No, this is Zhou Yu's tired strategy!" ”
Knowing the other party's plan, Zhang Liao also calmed down in his heart, and after ordering all places to defend closely, he was anxious to inform the generals how to deal with it. At this moment, it was already cold, and it was obvious that Zhou Yu would not attack the city again, and the soldiers went to repair it separately.
Sure enough, what Zhang Liao said was right, and Zhou Yu did not come to harass him again. And the following whole day, the Wu army did not launch a siege.
Zhang Liao ordered a lieutenant that there will be the same situation as last night tonight, and he will warn him when the investigation is clear.
That night, there were three consecutive feints, and everyone believed that what Zhang Liao said was true. However, Zhang Liao knew that this tired army plan would inevitably launch a real onslaught after a certain number of times, usually more than three days, and he was relieved after he ordered the whole army again.
When the night was as bad as before, Wu Jun launched two more movements like that, but this could no longer attract the attention of Cao Jun, and they cared about every feint attack from tomorrow night three days later.
When they arrived, the horn of the siege sounded outside the city again, but the defenders at the head of the city looked at the outside of the city with a smile and said: "These turtle grandsons, come to play again, don't be too tired to panic!" Then he turned and walked to the corner of the wall, where some straw was laid, where he had spent the night.
However, this time the movement was not the same as before, the horn was still the same, but in the haze, he suddenly heard the sound of killing and seemed to be approaching, and he was immediately shocked, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, the people next to him had already begun to shout: "Enemy attack!" ”
"Ahh This time it's really playing! But this time, before he could retract from the wall, a sharp arrow had pierced his throat accurately, and he felt that his body was light, and the wind was whistling in his ears, and it was obvious that he had fallen from the city.
Not only the south gate, but also the east gate and the north gate, which have been attacked on three sides.
And this time, the speed of the Wu army was very fast, the infantry army in front arrived, and the cloud ladder was behind, and the archers were mixed in with the defenders who shot and killed the city head at any time.
"Report to the general, the big thing is not good, the Wu army is attacking the city!" Outside Zhang Liao's bedroom, a hurried shout also sounded at the same time!
