At night, Xiaopei was exceptionally quiet, except for the light torches lit at the head of the city and the soft "whirring" in the wind, almost no sound could be heard.

The deathly silence is unimaginable, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are stationed in this city.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the streets in the distance.

The sound of hooves is soft, and it looks a little messy due to the large number of horses.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun rode side by side.

When they were about to reach the city gate, the two stopped, and the soldiers who followed Zhang Liao also stopped.

"Wen Yuan, don't say anything else, be careful in everything." Gao Shun arched his hand to Zhang Liao and said, "If you find something wrong, withdraw immediately." ”

"General Gao, rest assured!" Zhang Liao bowed his hand and saluted back: "I have led the troops for many years, when to withdraw and when to fight, I can still see it!" ”

"Kaesong!" Gao Shun nodded and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The city gate slowly opened, and Zhang Liao led two thousand soldiers out of the city.

Standing at the gate of the city, looking at Zhang Liao's distant back, until the team out of the city disappeared into the night, Gao Shun still did not turn around.

He had a faint sense of unease.

The feeling of uneasiness was very strong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Xiaopei is not very far from Xue County.

If all goes well, you should be there before dawn.

Zhang Liao led the team and instructed the captain beside him: "Pass the order, don't light torches, and don't talk to each other." ”

The lieutenant answered and conveyed Zhang Liao's order.

The 2,000-strong march, marching in the darkness of the night, barely coughed except for the sound of horses' hooves and human footsteps.

Xiaopei's only way to Xue County.

Zhao Yun led the soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion to ambush on the side of the road.

They have been lying in ambush here for a whole day.

The horses remained far away from them, and the soldiers lay dormant in the grass, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Waiting for a long time is more likely to make people tired than killing enemies on the battlefield.

Some of the soldiers were asleep in the grass.

However, when they slept, they strangled their mouths with strips of cloth so as not to disturb the enemy troops who might come by snoring.

"General!" Deng Zhan leaned over to Zhao Yun and asked in a low voice, "Will Zhang Liao and Gao Shun not dare to come?" ”

Entering Fan County, Cao Shuo made new adjustments to the army.

Although Chen refused to let go, Cao Shuo persuaded him and transferred Deng Zhan back to the Flying Bear Camp, leaving only Zhu Ao as a deputy commander.

"Didn't Childe expect them to come?" Zhao Yun didn't answer, but asked Deng Zhan.

"Childe is decided, they will definitely come." Deng Zhan said: "I just don't know when it will appear. ”

"If they don't show up for a day, we'll wait here for a day." Zhao Yun said: "They don't show up for ten days, so we will wait here for ten days." ”

"Maybe we won't be able to wait that long." Deng Zhan said: "Early tomorrow morning, Gongzi will lead troops to attack Xue County, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao may not be able to hold their breath." ”

Zhao Yun didn't say anything more, took out his binoculars and looked into the distance.

"This thing doesn't seem to work that well at night." Deng Zhan said: "During the day, I can see it quite clearly, but at night, it is blurry. ”

"Better than nothing." Zhao Yun said: "With this thing, at least when the enemy doesn't find us, we can already see them." If you spot the enemy early, you can take advantage of the opportunity and win the battle. ”

"General Zhao is right." Deng Zhan responded.

While the two were talking, a running figure appeared in the darkness.

Coming to the place where the Flying Bear Camp was dormant, the black shadow quickly jumped to the side of the road and asked a soldier, "What about General Zhao?" ”

"The general is over there!" The soldier pointed to Zhao Yun and Deng Zhan.

The soldier who had jumped to the side of the road ran quickly.

When he arrived in front of Zhao Yun, he saluted and said, "General Zhao, Zhang Liao led an army of 2,000 and is rushing here." ”

"How far is it?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Twenty miles at most." The soldier replied.

"Keep watching." Zhao Yun gave an order, and when the soldiers left, he asked Deng Zhan, "Are the tripping ropes and traps ready?" ”

"General Hui, it's ready." Deng Zhan said: "As long as they step on the trap, our army will be able to kill it immediately!" ”

"We only have 600 men, but they have 2,000 men, and tell the soldiers that once the battle begins, each of them will have to kill four enemy soldiers." Zhao Yun said: "After guarding for two days, if you don't wipe them out, you can't explain to your son." ”

"That's what General Zhao said." Deng Zhan responded.

Zhang Liao led 2,000 soldiers to march silently.

They weren't very slow.

Seeing that he was about to reach the place where the Flying Bear Camp was ambushed, Zhang Liao stopped.

He looked left and right.

The lieutenant asked in a low voice, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Do you feel strange?" Zhang Liao asked.

The lieutenant shook his head.

Zhang Liao said: "Maybe it's because I feel wrong, the closer I get here, the more I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart." ”

"The general is thinking too much." The captain said: "After all, Cao Zirong is like a ghost, and it is not easy to be an opponent with him. ”

"Maybe you're right." Zhang Liao said: "Cao Zirong is too difficult to deal with, and he wants to seize Xue County, so I will feel uneasy when I am close to Xue County." ”

"Didn't the general and Cao Zirong meet before?" The lieutenant said: "If General Lu had killed him at that time, where would there have been these things. ”

"Cao Zirong was helping us at that time." Zhang Liao said: "What's more, General Lu was being coerced by Yuan Shu at that time, and if he offended the Cao family again, Xuzhou would have been gone a long time ago!" ”

"It's not easy for General Lu." The lieutenant said: "A strong enemy looks around, and if you can occupy Xuzhou in the cracks, you can't do it except General Lu." ”

"That's what I said!" Zhang Liao said: "Liu Xuande deceived Xuzhou from Tao Qian, didn't he fail to occupy it? ”

"Don't talk about that." Zhang Liao changed his words and said to the captain: "Pass the order, let the soldiers be careful and beware of the enemy setting up ambushes." ”

The lieutenant answered, turned his horse and went to convey the order.

When Zhang Liao and the captain were talking, they had already entered the ambush circle of the Flying Bear Battalion.

The sound of the Xuzhou army walking echoed in the ears of the soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion.

The soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion crouched in the grass, silently raised their crossbows, and aimed at the enemy troops who were close at hand.

Zhao Yun and Deng Zhan, who were lying side by side, both held their breath, their eyes stayed on Zhang Liao's body.

Zhang Liao is a fierce general under Lu Bu, and if he can be captured in this battle, it will be a great merit.

Leading the soldiers forward, just walking, Zhang Liao suddenly felt the front hooves of the war horse under his crotch sinking down!

He screamed badly, put his hands on the saddle, and jumped to his feet.

Before his feet hit the ground, Zhang Liao shouted loudly: "Be careful, there is an ambush!" ”
