Chapter 423: Petition for Nomination

According to the intelligence, Meng Da made sufficient preparations in advance, expecting that this surprise attack of the enemy army would take the opportunity to seize the city, so he had already secretly planted crossbowmen in the city, just waiting for this time to catch the enemy by surprise.

Munda did it.

The retreating Huang Zhong's 3,000 men and horses were attacked by the dense rain of arrows in the city, and countless people were killed and wounded.

The defeated Huang Zhong gathered the defeated army, and the number of dead and wounded was counted to 500.

At dawn, Huang Zhong was twenty miles away from Tong County, and sent a small envoy to inquire secretly, only to learn that the soldiers and horses in the city had just entered a few days ago, so Huang Zhong knew that the surprise attack plan of the "Half-Immortal Army" was recognized, and the sneak attack was difficult to achieve.

In desperation, Huang Zhong did not dare to attack the city again, so he had to divide his troops to collect grain in the surrounding villages, and on the other hand, he sent people to return along the original road, reported the failure of the surprise attack to Liu Yongyu, and asked him to show him how to use the troops next.

A few days later, Liu Yong, who was making a big show in front of Pingdu City and feinting a large-scale assault, received information about Huang Zhong's defeat.

Liu Yong thought that when Huang Zhong captured the county town in one fell swoop, he would be able to force Pingdu to surrender immediately, and he would be able to damage some men and horses, but he didn't expect that the enemy would see through the plan and Huang Zhong would be defeated. So he didn't make a feint, and launched a real onslaught the next day.

Pingdu County Commander thought that Liu Yong would attack him slowly and wait for the reinforcements sent by Chengdu to arrive, but he didn't expect this time to be a real strong attack, in a hurry, there were only 3,000 county soldiers in the city, where could he block the attack of tens of thousands of troops, it was broken in less than an hour, tens of thousands of troops swarmed in, Pingdu fell, the county order saw this scene, bowed to Chengdu from afar, and committed suicide with a sword.

Liu Yong did not stop, immediately led the army into Tong County, and half a month later, the soldiers came to the city and surrounded the county on all sides.

Huang Zhong came to ask for guilt, according to the military order, the war has just started, and the defeated army will inevitably affect morale, and he should be beheaded. Zhuge Liang also knew that the plan was broken, and he couldn't hang it on his face, and Huang Zhong was very popular among the Jingzhou generals, and he was also Liu Yong's fierce general, if the general Huang Zhong died, it would inevitably cause the whole Jingzhou generals to be disgusted and hostile to him, and Liu Yong would definitely have a dislike for him, and hurriedly pleaded with Liu Yong. Seeing this, the others also pleaded for mercy at the same time.

Liu Yong had no intention of killing Huang Zhong, so he pushed the boat down the river to avoid everyone's innocence, but just warned him and gave up.

However, before Meng Da saw Liu Yong's army besieging the city on all sides, he received a secret letter sent by his friend Fa Zheng, and hurriedly opened it to see.

It turned out that Meng Da and Fa Zheng had a deep personal relationship, and Zhang Song was left out in the cold since Liu Zhang began to make up his mind to confront Liu Yong, and Fa Zheng, who was extremely close to Liu Yong, was also squeezed out by Huang Quan and the veteran Yan Yan, and was depressed.

Knowing that Meng Da took the initiative to ask Ying to be stationed in Tong County, he immediately sent a letter to send a letter to his cronies, but he didn't expect that Meng Da had already thwarted Huang Zhong's surprise attack.

In the letter, Fa Zheng briefly told Meng Da about his secret alliance with Zhang Song and Liu Yong, and said that Liu Zhang was weak, although he could not use it with civil ministers and military generals, Yizhou was rich, and it was bound to be wanted by others, and it was better to fight for a good future than to wait for someone to put the knife on his neck.

Meng Da watched it twice in a row, and then pondered all night, and the next morning, he was anxiously reported by his subordinates that the county town had been surrounded on all sides, and he suddenly felt that it was time to change his choice.

According to the intelligence, Meng Da made sufficient preparations in advance, expecting that this surprise attack of the enemy army would take the opportunity to seize the city, so he had already secretly planted crossbowmen in the city, just waiting for this time to catch the enemy by surprise.
