CHAPTER 144 LURING THE ENEMY OUT OF THE CITY
Zhang Luzheng was so angry that he couldn't sleep because Ge Liang pretended to be a ghost, and when he heard the good news, he hurriedly climbed up to the city tower to watch it in person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, the flames in the Shu camp in the distance were soaring, and the torches were scurrying around, and further back, the continuous torches seemed to be connected to the back of the mountain, and it seemed that behind there, there were countless people and horses pouring out.
"Then what are you waiting for, quickly gather people and horses to fight and answer." Zhang Lu immediately gave instructions.
But most of the generals were skeptical. Yan Pu first proposed: "It makes no sense that our reinforcements will rush overnight, and when they fight with the enemy in the second half of the night, we have to send someone to contact us before attacking." ā
Yang Ang was also frightened by the enemy's tricks, and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, our reinforcements didn't arrive so soon." Beware of the fact that the enemy deliberately lured us out of the city, but secretly planted an ambush to take advantage of the chaos. ā
These words made Zhang Lu waver: "However, if it is really our reinforcements, they are there to kill the enemy bravely, but we are here to stand still, I am afraid that it will chill their hearts, and we will also miss a good opportunity to eliminate these enemies in front and back." ā
"However, if it is really the enemy's trick and you are ambushed out of the city, even if you can retreat back into the city, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and then the enemy will not be able to defend the county seat again."
While he was hesitating, someone in the city shouted: "Open the door!" Someone in the city is here to open the door! I am General Chen Yin's subordinate! ā
Zhang Lu hurriedly asked people to bring him into the city. Yang Ang specially reminded: "Pay attention to the gatekeeper and see if there are others behind him." ā
The visitor was led to Zhang Lu, only to see that he was thin, soaking wet, shivering incessantly in the cold night, and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
"How did this happen?" Zhang Lu is a master of cultivation in the end, and he feels distressed when he looks at it.
"IāI jumped into the Han River and swam over, and I froze to death. My lord, please hurry up and send troops to help, and join us in killing those damned Shu soldiers. Ahh "Someone sneezed, and the snot came out.
Zhang Lu asked people to hurry up to find dry clothes, and asked, "Who are the people here?" ā
Someone wiped his face: "I, I'm General Chen Yin's subordinate." I was ordered by General Chen Yin in the morning to go to Nanzheng to deliver a message to my lordship, but I didn't expect that the enemy had already crossed the Han River, set up camp on the other side of the road, and released patrol posts. I had no choice but to repay General Chen Yin. General Chen Yin finally decided to attack the enemy camp tonight, believing that the city would definitely send troops to attack when he saw the battle, but at the same time, he was worried that the adults would not know, so he still sent me and the other two people to report to the city while they were in chaos. ā
Zhang Lu hurriedly asked, "What about the other two?" ā
The person who came looked sad and indignant: "I, we were discovered, and those two brothers were killed by them in order to cover my delivery of the letter. I was also the last to jump into the Han River and float a long way before I climbed ashore, so I saved my life and came here. My lord, hurry up and send troops. ā
"Then get the letter out of here." Zhang Lu hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"Yes, yes, here." The man trembled and reached into his arms, pulled out a piece of paper, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's all wet!" ā
Zhang Lu hurriedly said: "Tap, tap, don't break it." ā
Yan Pu hurriedly took the folded yellow paper, and despite his care, the paper was torn into many pieces, and most of the words on it had turned into ink balls, which were difficult to identify.
Someone knelt down on his knees with a "poof": "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life!" The little one jumped into the Han River with a heart-saving heart, and forgot to protect the letter for a while. Spare your life. ā
Yan Pu looked at the few crumpled pieces of waste paper, sighed, and frowned even more than the paper, what could this prove?
"No, it stands to reason that they will report from here to Yangping Pass, and they will send reinforcements, it is impossible to arrive in a few days. My lord, this person must be a spy of the Shu army! Yan Pu slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly understood why he had always suspected that it was not reinforcements at all.
"yes!" Zhang Lu was also woken up, it seems that he was forced too anxious by the situation and forgot about this.
The person who came immediately kowtowed: "My lord, haven't you gotten the news yet?" Then Liu Bei didn't invest too many troops in Yangping Pass at all, but opened up a road to move the army to Dingjun Mountain? It was because of this news that Lord Zhang Wei sent Yang Ren and our General Chen Yin and General Hou Xuan to urgently lead troops to intercept him. Halfway through, we received news that Nanzheng was in danger, so we hurriedly dispatched two generals, Chen and Hou, to lead troops to meet us. That General Yang Ren is still staying in Dingjun Mountain at this time, only a few dozen miles away from here. ā
"Huh?" Now everyone was so anxious that they were about to jump.
Yang Ang was so anxious that he kept nagging: "It's over, it's over, it turns out that not only these thousands of enemy troops, but even Liu Bei's army is about to come over." It's all over now. ā
Why do these guys like to sneak attack on a detour?
Zhang Lu and Yan Pu glared, in this way, Nan Zheng would definitely not be able to hold it, and it would be pointless for Zhang Wei to defend Yangping Pass.
"Then where is Liu Bei now?" Yan Pu relieved himself and hurriedly asked the person who came.
The person who came was still kowtowing: "My lord, Liu Bei's army has reached the front line of Dingjun Mountain, and General Yang Ren is seizing the terrain to prepare to intercept it." Ladies and gentlemen, hurry up and send troops to destroy the enemy outside the city, and go to Dingjun Mountain together. ā
That's right, don't hurry up and send troops, wait for Chen Yin and them outside the city to be defeated, and even the last chance to resist is gone, Zhang Lu no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ordered Yang Ang and Yang Bai to immediately lead the army out of the city to respond.
Yang Ang and Yang Bai received the order, and they no longer dared to slack off, opened the city gate, and led the army almost out of the city.
The sergeant who came to report the news took the clean clothes that had just been delivered, and under the leadership of the two sergeants, went down to the city tower, ready to find a place to change into a black spot.
No one noticed that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly in the dark, revealing a glimmer of imperceptible pride, hahaha, although our lord will indeed move troops to Dingjun Mountain, but it is still far away! Of course, that doesn't matter anymore.
"Ahh Ahh The bone-chilling cold made him sneeze several times in a row, and his hands and feet finally changed into clean clothes, and he immediately felt comfortable.
Zhang Lu didn't expect that this person was Wei Yan's subordinate, the thoughtful pretending to be known as not being able to run to death.
They didn't expect that at this moment, behind them, in the direction of the east gate of Nanzheng County, the five hundred warriors led by Wei Yan were secretly climbing the city wall under the help of several Hanzhong soldiers in the city who had sincerely surrendered before. (To be continued.) )
