Chapter 18: Kill My Prestige
Four days later, the night was like splashing ink. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the south of Huguan City, in the dense woods, in the northeast of Huguan City, hundreds of Zhang's army are hidden like ghosts.
Hundreds of soldiers and horses stood silently in the darkness, motionless, as if waiting for something.
At the time of the third watch, Zhang Yuan, who was in the dark, drove his horse to the edge of the woods, and his eagle eyes pierced through the darkness and looked towards the head of Huguan City.
I saw the south gate line, the lights were bright, and the figures of the Taishan Kou on duty could be faintly seen, going back and forth in the city.
"The time has come, let's do it." Zhang Yuan turned his horse back into the forest and gave the order with a whip.
Li Dingguo, who had been standing for a long time, took a deep breath and turned back to give orders to his soldiers.
After a short time, several Sergeant Zhang soldiers lifted the linen cloth covering the ground with all their strength.
A huge pit is impressively presented in front of you.
The soldiers on the left and right, including Fan Lihua and Fan Lihua, were all shocked, and their suspicious eyes looked at the big pit.
In the deep pit, there is a tunnel, and the darkness is impossible to see.
This tunnel, which leads directly into Huguan City, is exactly the strategy offered by Li Dingguo to break the enemy.
If you want to break through Huguan City without consuming troops, you must make surprise troops.
In the past few days, every night, Zhang Yuan sent troops to beat gongs and drums outside Huguan City, feigning an attack, but using the noise of the ground to cover up the underground excavation movement, so that a hundred soldiers dug such a tunnel and went straight to the city.
The one in Huguan City, who would never have dreamed that Zhang Yuan had secretly dug a tunnel that led directly to his chrysanthemum.
Zhang Yuan looked around at the soldiers, these young soldiers, their faces were surging with excitement, and their blood was boiling.
"Pear Blossom, bring the wine." Zhang Yuan let out a loud shout and jumped off the horse.
Behind him, Fan Lihua was ordered, and he was busy drinking the order to the pro-army, and distributed the good wine that had been prepared to the hundred soldiers.
Zhang Yuan raised his glass in his hand, looked excited, glanced around at the soldiers, and said sharply: "Whether you can open the door to Huguan depends on tonight's battle, Zhang has a glass for you, please." ”
In the heroic words, Zhang Yuan raised his glass and drank it all, and then slammed the empty bowl on the ground and smashed it.
"I am willing to serve the Lord!"
All the soldiers responded angrily, and they all raised their glasses and drank them all, imitating Zhang Yuan, and smashed their wine glasses to the ground.
The clatter of cracks resounded through the woods, like the sound of war drums, urging people to forge ahead.
Zhang Yuan poured another bowl of wine, turned his gaze to Li Dingguo, and said solemnly: "Dingguo, this is a risky move, it's up to you, after the success, let's drink again." ”
It's all over again.
"My lord, prepare the wine, and when I come back, we won't get drunk." Li Dingguo laughed, extremely heroic, drank the bowl of wine, and shouted good wine.
"Tick...... The system scanned that Li Dingguo's loyalty had increased, and 10 benevolence points were generated, and the host had 11 benevolence points. ”
The prompt sound of the system elf sounded in his mind, which made Zhang Yuan feel a burst of unexpected joy in his heart, but he suddenly realized that Li Dingguo was a good wine, and his bowl of high-quality wine was just what he liked, which made him loyal and felt the monarch's love for him.
Secretly happy in his heart, Zhang Yuan laughed, waved his hand and shouted: "I'm waiting to drink with Wen Xiangyou, the time has come, let's go." ”
"The end will go." Li Dingguo responded with a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, jumped into the pit first, and did not hesitate to drill into the dark tunnel.
Behind him, the 100 elite dead soldiers from pirates jumped into the pit with Li Dingguo without hesitation, and drilled into the tunnel one after another.
Zhang Yuan stood there, watched all the soldiers who attacked the city enter the tunnel, turned over his horse, and shouted: "Pear Blossom, Fan Pear Blossom, follow me to the north gate, and prepare to intercept and kill the fleeing enemy." ”
Fan Lihua's blood was boiling, they all turned over and got on their horses, led hundreds of Zhang's army, followed Zhang Yuan out of the woods, bypassed Huguan City, and went to the north gate.
Half an hour later, 600 soldiers of the Zhang Army lined up outside the north gate, all of them boiling with enthusiasm and eager to fight.
In addition to the 100 soldiers and horses who stayed behind in the camp, bluffed, and Li Dingguo's 100 soldiers who attacked the city and died, these 600 soldiers and horses were all of Zhang Yuan's belongings.
Zhang Yuan stationed in Ma looked at the enemy city from afar, and a cold smirk burst out of his eagle eyes, "Zheng Gu, you kill my messenger and openly humiliate me, and tonight I will let you know my Zhang Yuan's true strength." ”
In the darkness, layers of murderous aura have risen to the sky.
In the secret passage, the 100 city raiding teams led by Li Dingguo were slowly moving forward in the narrow tunnel.
After more than half an hour, Li Dingguo finally arrived at the end of the tunnel, and a fork appeared in front of him, which was divided into several tunnels leading to all directions.
Li Dingguo turned around and made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him divided their ways and entered various forks in the road.
Li Dingguo walked to the center, carefully moved to the bottom of the tunnel, and gently dug upwards with his own hands.
As a native of Xuzhou, he had come to Huguan a few years ago and knew the layout of this city well, and it was for this reason that he dared to offer this authentic strategy.
It's just that after a few years, he doesn't dare to guarantee that the layout of the city has not changed, and Li Dingguo is not 100% sure of whether this tunnel crossing is safe.
It can only be a matter of luck.
According to Li Dingguo's estimate, the tunnel was less than a few feet from the ground, and in order to avoid making a noise as much as possible, he had to slow down his movements as much as possible in order to make the least noise.
Finally, a small piece of the hole appeared, and there was a faint ray of light shining in, and Li Dingguo's heart instantly rose to his throat.
He didn't dare to guarantee that the entrance to the cave would open there, maybe it was nobody, maybe it was right under the feet of Taishankou, everything was possible.
There was silence outside the entrance to the cave, no footsteps could be heard, and no soldiers were snoring.
Li Dingguo's hanging heart relaxed, and after making sure that there was no one at the entrance of the cave, he sped up his speed, quickly opened the entrance of the cave, and then climbed out of the entrance of the cave first.
As soon as he got to the ground, Li Dingguo glanced around vigilantly, and in an instant, ecstasy appeared on his face.
The location of the entrance to the cave, consistent with his pre-estimate, happened to open in the area of an abandoned ancestral hall.
"God help me, brothers, come up for me." Li Dingguo roared excitedly and ordered the rest of his subordinates to climb up to the entrance of the cave.
In a short time, dozens of dead soldiers had climbed to the ground, and the rest of the people must have reached the point of pointing.
The entire city of Huguan fell asleep, and no movement was heard from far or near, and it was clear that the rebels had not discovered their presence.
Li Dingguohuan glanced around and shouted: "Set fire to me as planned!" ”
His order was handed down, and more than 100 soldiers took out the fire-burning things they carried with them and set them on fire, while the rest of the men and horses also crawled out of the ground and went to set fires
After a stick of incense, there was already a fire in Huguan City.
The flames raged, and in a short period of time, Huguan Castle seemed to be swallowed by the heavenly fire that fell from the sky, and the fire that rose to the sky illuminated the four fields as bright as day.
When the sleeping rebels woke up from their dreams and rushed out of the barracks in a panic, the entire Huguan City was already in flames.
The sound of sparks, the collapse of houses, and the screams of terror all converged, and in an instant, Huguan City became a hell of a group of ghosts struggling.
In the lobby of the county government, the lights are bright.
The high seat on the top of the Zheng Gu was drinking a lot of alcohol, and he was chewing a half-gnawed heart in his mouth, happy and chic, and he didn't take Zhang Yuan outside the city as a thing at all.
After all, Zhang Yuan only had 800 men, which was 200 fewer than the Taishan army he was defending the city, and there was no need to be afraid of this kind of strength comparison.
For a few days, it has been business as usual, and tonight is no exception.
"General, we have been attacked by the enemy, and there are fires everywhere—" Suddenly, his own soldiers broke in, shouting in terror.
Half-asleep, he opened his eyes in a daze, smashed half of his heart, and scolded: "You idiot shouting and shouting, the city is not broken, how can the enemy set fire." ”
"It's true, general, take a look, there's fire everywhere outside." The pro-army shouted in horror.
His body was shocked, and then he was a little sober, staggered to his feet, dragged his half-drunk body, and moved to the door of the lobby.
Only glanced up, and the solid instantly petrified.
I saw that the entire Huguan City was in the sky, the fire was dazzling, and the smoke was billowing out, as if the sky was burning the city, and hell was coming.
The entire city of Huguan has been turned into a city of fire.
"How can there be a fire all of a sudden? How did the enemy break through the city, and why didn't the city report it at all? He was so frightened that he instantly sobered up, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.
In the moments of his panic, the scorching fire had spread rapidly to the point of being uncontrollable.
This sudden fire completely disrupted the command system in the city, and in the absence of the military order from the upper peak, the panicked rebels were frightened by the flames, desperately opened the city gate, and fled in the direction of the north gate.
He was helpless, afraid that if he was one step too late, he would be burned to death in the city, so he could only hurriedly follow the flow of fleeing soldiers and flee towards the north gate, intending to flee to Hanoi to ask Yuan Shao for help.
Outside the north gate, Zhang Yuan and his soldiers, their eyes were bloodshot, happily admiring the picture of the enemy city being burned.
These angry soldiers all looked at Zhang Yuan with awe, and were deeply shocked by Zhang Yuan's means of attacking the enemy city.
"Lord, it's so good, it's so good, burn all these rebels into roast suckling pigs!" Fan Lihua was very excited.
Looking at Huguan City, which turned into a sea of fire, Zhang Yuan's heart burned wildly, and the anger that had been accumulated for several days erupted like a volcano at this moment.
His eyes were like blades, and he stared coldly at the burning of the city in front of him.
The destructive power contained in nature is really unimaginable, and Zhang Yuan only now realizes that it is no wonder that in history, Zhou Yu's Chibi fire can burn Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 people to collapse.
Zhang Yuan's fire, although not as magnificent as Chibi, burned down more than 1,000 Taishan troops, but it was more than enough.
In the eagle's eyes, I saw that the suspension bridge in the north was lowered, and after the city gate was opened, the embarrassed Taishan Kou, like a nesting ant, you pushed me and rushed out of the city gate.
Zhang Yuan stood on his horse, as calm as water, and he could even see the frightened expressions of those enemy soldiers.
Almost.
In front of the prancing horse formation, Zhang Yuan drew his sword and pointed towards the enemy city, and shouted: "Pear Blossom, what are you waiting for, lead the soldiers to kill me, and kill my Zhang Yuan's prestige!" ”
