Zhang Xian and the others all looked nervously at the deep ditch dug by Du Raid, and they didn't know whether they were looking forward to the appearance of the enemy army or not.

Around the beginning of the year, Zhang Xian suddenly saw Du Xian make a gesture with a stern face, and then saw that those soldiers all gently drew their swords, and they were on guard as if they were facing a great enemy.

Zhang Xian and the other civil and military officials did not dare to make any sound, their eyes stared at the deep ditch, and even their breathing slowed down, they all knew that this time the enemy army was really close.

"Fortunately, Zixu made arrangements in advance, otherwise I'm afraid our army will really be defeated this time.

Zhang Xian looked at Du Xian with a happy face and said secretly.

At this moment, only the dull sound of digging and chiseling could be heard from the ground, and then I saw that the deep trench dug by Du Xian had been dug through, and a head was exposed from it.

"Huh? Not good, it was discovered by enemy troops. The enemy soldier who had dug through the tunnel first suddenly found himself in an open place, and saw that there was light all around, so he knew that the plan to dig the tunnel had been discovered, and he hurriedly shouted in shock.

Immediately after that, the soldier immediately turned back and wanted to escape from the tunnel.

But Du Xun had already ordered someone to wait aside, where would he let him flee back so smoothly? A soldier who had already been guarding the side held down the Jingzhou soldier from behind and captured him alive.

Immediately after, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers were captured by Du Xi's soldiers one after another, tied up and pushed in front of Du Zheng.

Then I heard the report of Wu Dongyu, the marquis of the army: "General Qiyu, this time we have captured a total of sixteen enemy soldiers, and about twenty or thirty have fled. ”

Du Xun nodded and said: "It's about the same as Ben Jiang expected, you don't care about those enemies who escaped, Ben was going to interrogate those prisoners immediately, you are divided into fifteen groups, and interrogate those captives separately to see if their confessions are consistent with the prisoners that Ben will interrogate?" This matter is very important, and everyone must take it seriously. ”

"No." Wu Dong respectfully agreed, and then ordered all fifteen of the captives to be taken aside and interrogated separately, leaving only one for Du Xi to interrogate in person.

In this interrogation, everyone can be said to have used all kinds of means, all kinds of coercion and inducement, and all the light and heavy punishments were used, but from beginning to end, only three people confessed, one of them was lured by a large amount of money, the other was lured by the promise of the official, and the last one had no choice but to confess because he could not survive the torture.

The conclusion reached by everyone was surprisingly unanimous: "Tonight, Liu Qi's Jingzhou army lost the siege and the morale dropped slightly, so they decided to dig tunnels on the one hand, burn the foundation of the difficult city wall, and then feint to attack the north city gate tomorrow, but attack the south city gate with the main force, so as to break through the defense of Linxiang city and break the city in one fell swoop." ”

At this time, Du Xi also used a trick to deceive the Jingzhou army from the prisoners of war in his hands, which turned out to be exactly the same as what the other three said!

After listening to Du Xian's report, Zhang Xian nodded with satisfaction and asked the other party what to do next.

But I heard Du Xun say: "The last general listened to those prisoners say, the other party is bent on attacking the city tomorrow, and in order to accumulate strength, he rested early tonight, and he didn't expect to be discovered by us at all, and now the enemy's plan to dig the tunnel has been discovered, and those soldiers who have fled back will definitely go back to report the news, so that the general of the enemy army who is responsible for digging the tunnel will definitely go to Liu Qi to think about countermeasures, and will never think that we will take the opportunity to rob the camp along the tunnel they dug tonight." Therefore, the last general made a surprise and led 20,000 troops along the tunnel to Liu Qi's camp, killing him by surprise, and if he was lucky, he might be able to capture Liu Qi alive. ”

At this moment, Huan Jie suddenly said: "Zixu should be careful, this may be a trick of the enemy army, you think about it, why are the confessions of those soldiers of the enemy army surprisingly consistent, not even the slightest difference?" ”

But Du Xun smiled when he heard it: "Bo Xuxiu has to hesitate, the confessions of those soldiers are consistent, which shows that this news is true, not to mention that not all the enemy soldiers have confessed, aren't there still some who don't confess?" What's more, the soldiers who confessed did not confess as soon as they came up, some of them couldn't stand the torture, some were lured by us with officials and money, and didn't they all suffer torture before confessing? In fact, to tell the truth, Ben General admired these enemy soldiers very much, they were so stubborn, and they finally confessed after being tortured for half an hour, and the soldier who was personally interrogated by Ben General was even more sure that his confession would not be false. ”

Du Xun couldn't help but remember that at the beginning of the interrogation, he was very relaxed and talked to the soldier about the weather, customs, and products of Changsha, so that the soldier relaxed his guard, and then he suddenly said that in fact, someone had already told the truth about their plan, and the soldier was shocked and confessed.

Huan Jie's eyes saw that Du Xian said this, if he stopped it again, I was afraid that he would not be able to say it, so he had to stop talking, and silently prayed in his heart that this time it was not Liu Qi's trick.

But in his heart, Huan Jie still faintly felt a trace of unease, and he desperately hoped that his guess was wrong.

Seeing that Huanjie no longer spoke, Du Xian led a team of 20,000 people into the tunnel, and under the guidance of the soldiers who had already confessed, he sneaked into Liu Qi's camp, preparing to rob the camp at night and break Liu Qi.

In fact, Du Raid did not fail to take precautions against those soldiers, he ordered those soldiers to follow around him, called protection, in fact, to facilitate the control, and when it came to the exit of the tunnel, Du Raid was even more cautious, and first sent the military marquis Wu Dong to follow a soldier who had promised to surrender to the exit, until he confirmed that it was safe and then let him pass the news, and then the army would be fully dispatched.

Wu Dong is Du Xian's confidant and favorite general, and he can be said to be loyal to Du Xian, even if he dies, he will not betray, so Du Zhan has absolute trust in him, and he believes that even if Liu Qi deploys 100,000 troops outside, Wu Dong will warn him as soon as possible.

After about a stick of incense, Du Xun suddenly heard a regular sound of gently stepping on the ground from the ground, the sound was heavy before and light after, and he paused every few steps.

Du Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, because he knew that this sound was a signal of contact between himself and Wu Dong, indicating that it was absolutely safe outside and there were no accidents, so he completely relieved his mind about the few surrendered soldiers, and ordered the army to immediately go out of the tunnel and assemble in the open space outside.

After a while, Du Xian's army was assembled, looking at the little sparks not far away, he knew that it was the direction where the enemy camp was located, he took a deep breath, and immediately led the army to touch the lights not far away.

Du Xi led the army to walk about seven or eight miles, and sure enough, he found that Liu Qi's camp was in front of him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He divided the army into three roads, came to the east, north, and west gates, quietly removed the antlers and other things at the gate of the camp, and then raised the torch, and then rushed into the camp first, and directly killed Liu Qi's brightly lit tent in the middle.

However, not long after Du Xi led the army into the camp, he felt that something was wrong, because the camp was quiet, he had a distance of more than ten zhang, and he didn't find a person, so he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop advancing, and ordered the rear team to change into the front team, and prepare to retreat.

At this moment, I heard the drumming behind me, and then the earth-shattering shouts of killing came. Du Xun was shocked, and when he looked back, he found that the camp gate was densely packed with people, and groups of troops held torches, trapping the 20,000 large legions he led in the camp.

After that, I saw a young general riding a white horse and holding a long sword, surrounded by all the soldiers like stars holding the moon, with a slight wave of his hand, he saw 50,000 or 60,000 Jingzhou troops each holding torches, using bows and arrows to ignite those things that ignited the fire and then shot into the camp, and instantly saw that the camp turned into a sea of fire, which suddenly made the Changsha army trapped in the core begin to riot.

And the sergeants of Liu Qi's army who led Du Raid to the outside of the camp had already taken advantage of the chaos and secretly lurked in the chaotic army, even if Du Raid was a strict military discipline, it was not something that would be able to find them for a while.

Du Xun couldn't care about the soldiers at this time, he raised his eyes to look at the general, his eyes were full of anger, and there was a trace of admiration that even she couldn't feel.

I saw the general on the opposite side shouting loudly: "Du attacked Du Zixu, you have already won the general's plan, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender to save a life?" Otherwise, I am afraid that you will die today and there will be no place to bury you. ”

Du Xian sneered: "Liu Qi'er, I didn't investigate for a while, and I fell for your trick by mistake, although I am facing a desperate situation today, my loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, how can I be willing to surrender to you?" After Du Xun finished speaking, he slowly walked through the army and came to the vicinity of the camp gate, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, I didn't expect to fall for the tricks of thieves today. If you are not afraid of death, you can kill with me. ”

After that, Du ignored Liu Qi and led his soldiers to break through.

But then, I saw that Liu Qi waved his hand, and saw the feather arrows shooting like flying locusts, and soon hundreds of Changsha troops fell in a pool of blood.

"Kill, give Ben a second wave of breakthroughs." Du Xian shouted, turned his heart sideways, held a shield in his hand, and personally led the army to break through.

Du Xi thought that Liu Qi would shoot feather arrows again to slow down the advance of his army, but when he saw that the other party's expression was calm, those feather arrows that made him scruple did not shoot again, but quietly waited for his advance.

Although Du Xi knew that Liu Qi was not so kind at all, and he also knew that the other party would definitely have a conspiracy if he did it now, he didn't know what the other party was doing, so he had to rush forward, hoping to have a chance of escaping.

"Kill." Liu Qi's soldiers have also demolished the wall of the camp and led the soldiers to kill in.
