Chapter Eighty-Five: The Battle of Lunu Begins

Chapter 60 and Chapter 85

After the banquet, Guan Hai and Liao Hua walked silently side by side on the dilapidated Lunu Street, their faces gloomy and sometimes fickle, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Big brother, the general of the earth"

Guan Hai glanced at Liao Hua gloomily, and said softly: "There is no hope of revenge"

"That" Liao Hua's eyes bulged, and he said angrily: "Won't the revenge of the brothers be avenged?" Tens of thousands of brothers, all burned to death"

"So what's the solution?" Guan Hai said in a low voice: "I also have heartache, they are all children of good families, villagers and fathers, as well as my wife and children."

"But! The Youzhou army is too strong, I'm not an opponent, and General Digong is not an opponent."

"How's that good?"

"Let's see"

The two fell silent again.

"Hey, Brother Guan, Brother Liao!"

Guan Hai and Liao Hua looked up when they heard the sound, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but float a reluctant smile.

"Brother Zhou!"

The three of you punched me, I punched you, and expressed their affection to each other, Guan Hai said: "Why is Brother Zhou here?" As he spoke, he also glanced at a small group of soldiers behind Zhou Cang, and said strangely: "Isn't Brother Zhou the personal guard of the Digong general?" ”

When Zhou Cang heard this, his elated face suddenly darkened, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "The junior brother offended the general of the Digong, offended many commanders, and was just demoted" raised his head and gave the two of them a smile, but it was very reluctant.

"What's going on?"

Liao Hua asked.

Zhou Cang didn't hide it, so he told the events of the day one by one, and said angrily: "At the beginning, General Tiangong raised troops and only fought for a peace for our people, but now" Zhou Cang pointed to the dilapidated city and said, "What is this?" Is it too peaceful? ”

Guan Hai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. This kind of thing, the army under his command has done no less, but it is not as serious as Zhang Bao. And this kind of thing has almost become a law in the Yellow Turban Army, if you don't do it, I'm afraid it won't be the Yellow Turban Army.

Liao Hua didn't speak, only frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few people chatted a few more words, and Zhou Cang went to patrol with the team.

Guan Hai and Liao Hua glanced at each other, and their faces became even heavier

Zhang Bao was tearing the clothes of the two women in the county government in the past, ignoring the heart-rending cries and struggles of the two, and was about to commit violence, when suddenly a soldier came to report.

Zhang Bao was extremely unhappy, threw away the two women, simply put on his robes, and walked out angrily.

"What's the matter!"

Zhang Bao had a dark face, and looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were kneeling under the hall with great unhappiness, coldly.

"General, we have found a large number of cavalry rushing in the direction of Lunu, please make a decision!"

"Cavalry?!" Zhang Baohu stood up and drank: "How far is it?" ”

"About thirty miles, at the speed of the cavalry, a quarter of an hour!"

Zhang Bao laughed and said, "Good come, good come!" It must be the Youzhou cavalry, and let General Ben see what this Youzhou cavalry is that is famous all over the world! ”

"Come on, immediately prepare for battle!"

Liu Yuan rode the lion and tiger beast, walked in front, and suddenly asked, "Is Lu Nu close?" ”

"About twenty or thirty miles, my lord." Huang Chang replied.

"Well, this Lu Nu is occupied by Zhang Bao, who is known as the general of the Digong," a trace of disdain floated at the corner of Liu Yuan's mouth, and said: "Known as an army of 300,000, how do you view justice?" ”

Huang Chang's eyes lit up and said, "I am willing to step on Lunu for the lord!" ”

He heard it, and Liu Yuan had the heart to hand over this battle to him with wisdom. That is a great military feat, how can you refuse it, so he hurriedly said.

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "In this case, Benhou will look at your means of justice!" ”

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves almost collapsed the half-sized city of Lunu, and when Liu Yuan's 20,000 troops set up a formation under the city of Lunu, Zhang Bao also came to the city wall.

As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, there is no shore, Liu Yuan's 20,000 black-armored army stands quietly under the city, and the momentum that is so fierce that it soars into the sky is even more terrifying.

Zhang Bao gasped, and while looking at the Youzhou Army's fine food armament with greedy eyes, he was secretly a little timid. But after thinking about it, his Youzhou army is strong, but it is only 20,000 people, it is an army of steel, and how many nails can he hit? And the nearly 300,000 troops under his command are filled with human lives, so why not be afraid of the 20,000 troops in Youzhou.

Zhang Bao has such a mental quality, but the soldiers of the Yellow Turban do not.

These soldiers are just farmers who have just put down their hoes, and it will be okay for them to beat the water dogs, but if they collide with the Youzhou army, they will definitely find death! Feeling the strong momentum and military might of the Youzhou Army, they couldn't help but tremble their legs and stomachs, and the messy weapons in their hands couldn't hold them steadily.

"Where is Zhang Bao?"

As Qing Yue's voice spread throughout the battlefield, Liu Yuan rode the lion and tiger beast slowly to the land of an arrow, and he was not afraid of the sneak attack on the city wall.

Zhang Bao and the others looked at the Yellow Turban Army and were immediately shocked.

I saw a black-armored man riding a vicious beast that he had never seen before and walked into the field. Not to mention the mighty man, just say that the strange beast is eight feet tall, two feet long, with green eyes, saliva dripping from its mouth, two huge fangs shining in the sun, and a slender scorpion tail, which is terrifying.

Zhang Bao swallowed his saliva, glanced at the expectant eyes of the sect members, and couldn't help but step forward, stand at the head of the city, and drank: "This general is the general of the Taiping Sect, who is under the city, report your name!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan raised his head slightly and said lightly: "You are Zhang Bao?" Hehe, Ben Hou is the champion Hou! ”

"Zhang Bao, you are rebellious, the crime cannot be punished, if you surrender Kaicheng now, this marquis will spare your life, otherwise" Liu Yuan's face sank, and he was gloomy: "Don't leave a piece of armor!" ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, his face suddenly turned slightly pale.

"Didn't you say that the general was Huang Chang? How could it be this monster! Hurt me! Hurt me! Zhang Bao roared in his heart. For Liu Yuan's power, how can he, as a high-ranking member of the Taiping Sect, not know? That's a character that a bow or even a ballista can't hurt!

Looking back at the countless Yellow Turban troops on standby in the city, Zhang Bao suddenly perked up and said secretly: "Liu Yuan is just one person, I have an army of 300,000, exhausting him!" Exhaust him! Yes, exhaust him! ”

Zhang Bao's face suddenly turned hideous, and he yelled: "Liu Yuan'er, you are so arrogant!" Come, archers wait! ”

With Zhang Bao's voice, he saw a sparse array of arrows flying out of the city wall, and none of them landed within Liu Yuan's boundary.

"Hahaha"

Liu Yuan laughed.

Youzhou Jun laughed wildly.

Zhang Bao's face was swollen purple and purple.

There was silence on the walls.

Who called the Yellow Turban Army archers Taiji?

"Zhang Bao, is this your reliance?" Liu Yuan laughed and said: "Such an army, Benhou can be destroyed in the middle of his hand!" ”

"If you have the ability, you will attack the city, and General Ben is waiting here!"

Zhang Bao flicked his sleeves, turned around and disappeared.

Liu Yuan Shi Ran returned to the formation and said to Huang Chang: "Next, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Whoa!"

Huang Chang set up camp with the army, and immediately summoned his generals to prepare to discuss a strategy to break the enemy.

In fact, Huang Chang missed the best opportunity to break Zhang Bao. If he had just defeated Guan Hai, he had marched in a hurry and attacked Lu Nu overnight, he might not have been able to succeed. But after missing this opportunity, Huang Chang thought that Guan Hai and the others must have returned to Lunu, and informed Zhang Bao of the news of the army's pressure on the border, and Zhang Bao must have taken precautions, so he missed the second chance. In fact, Zhang Bao didn't take Guan Hai's words to heart at all, although he strengthened his defenses a little, but if he attacked at that time, he could also be surprised.

Huang Chang naturally didn't know that he had missed two good opportunities, but Lu Nu was bound to break and Zhang Bao was bound to catch it, so there was no doubt about discussing methods and creating opportunities.

Cavalry, infantry, all 1,000 commanders, 10,000 commanders gathered in the Huangchang camp tent and had a heated discussion

Liu Yuan ignored Huang Chang and them, but took Dian Wei and other two thousand guards alone, walked around Lu Nu, and looked around.

Lunu is just a very ordinary city, one is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other is not easy to attack and difficult to defend. If Huang Chang is willing to sacrifice his soldiers, with the bravery of the Youzhou army, he will definitely be able to break it with one blow.

But the generals of the Youzhou Army have the concept instilled by Liu Yuan in their hearts, that is, they love soldiers like sons.

No one is willing to let his soldiers abandon their surnames.

The city of Lunu is not large, and it can accommodate Zhang Bao's 300,000 troops; The city is not high, only more than three feet; The moat is not deep, just one person; The main general of the enemy army is not fierce, just Zhang Bao, who was killed with a knife in history.

Liu Yuan thought about it carefully, and felt that Huang Chang could handle it by himself, so he didn't care about it, and just played in the mountains and rivers.

Where is this act of war?

If the other generals know about it, don't they scold it?

After Huang Chang and the other soldiers finished discussing, while preparing for a frontal battle, they sent elite cavalry, ready to look for opportunities to harass the Yellow Turban. When everything was over, Huang Chang sighed and said, "It would be nice if the siege troops were here."

Most of the day passed slowly.

It was night, in the city of Lunu.

Zhang Bao frowned, and the generals under his command also looked at each other, not knowing what Zhang Bao was thinking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Youzhou army is strong, and now that we are trapped in the city, what should we do?"

After listening to Zhang Bao's words, these yellow turban generals knew that Zhang Bao was worried about this. I couldn't help but spin my mind and wonder.

"I said General Digong, are you thinking too much?" The first general said: "How can the 300,000 troops under the command of the general be afraid of the 20,000 horses outside the city?" ”

"That's it, our brother will lead the army out of the city, and it will only take a moment to kill them without leaving a piece of armor."

"Yes, the 300,000 army is huddled in a small town, what's the matter!"

Zhang Bao listened to the noisy words of the generals under his command, and his face became darker and darker. But isn't it, Lao Tzu's army of 300,000 was forced to not dare to move in the city without a single battle, what is this?

The more Zhang Bao thought about it, the more chilled he became, and he seemed to be afraid of Liu Yuan in his heart!

"I have an army of 300,000 men, why fear him? Why fear him?! ”

Zhang Bao reversed the gloom in his heart for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "What the generals said is right. The Youzhou army is only 20,000, what are you afraid of? General Ben decided to steal the camp tonight, who wants to share my worries! ”

"Me!"

Almost everyone stood up.

Zhang Bao glanced at it with satisfaction, and suddenly saw that Guan Hai and Liao Hua didn't get up, and they immediately became unhappy. Glaring at the two, Zhang Bao looked away and said: "That is the case, Zuo Zhangba, you and the deputy general led an army of 50,000 troops, and went out of the city to steal the camp at the third watch, and the general himself led the army to meet at the city gate!" ”

Listening to Zhang Bao's words, Zuo Zhangba was a little unhappy.

In other words, the general's 50,000 troops rushed out of the city, and he didn't kill all the people of Youzhou? What else do you want you to answer? Why do you look down on me?

However, Zhang Bao is the boss after all, and although Zuo Zhangba is reckless, he is not a stupid person, so he hurriedly arched his hand, walked out of the hall, and gathered the soldiers

Although Huang Chang is not a general in a hundred battles, he also has some military qualities, otherwise he would not be relied on by Liu Yuan. So he gave an early order to beware of night attacks, and laid an ambush for a group of crossbowmen in the woods not far from the side of the camp.

If Huang Chang a few days ago would never take these 'trivial' things to heart. But after Liaohua's 'enlightenment', Liu Yuan's education also slowly valued these 'little things'.

Therefore, Zhang Bao's night attack plan will definitely go bankrupt. As for how miserable it is, it depends on Huang Chang's command.
