Chapter 404: Slander under the city
In the face of Zhang Xiang's sarcasm and reprimand, Meng Shu and Yan Yan had nothing to say, this defeat really had nothing to do with them, there were still three days before the tunnel was dug up, and Zhang Xiang had to take action in person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Xiang never cared about the use of materials in the siege, only in this way can the casualties of the soldiers be reduced, this siege Zhang Xiang gave a heavy reward, not only Liu Bei and Ma Kui and others have bounties, even ordinary soldiers have.
It's just a matter of how much, exchanging their left ear for a bounty, such a method was actually very popular during the Qin Dynasty, and it reached its peak, but it also declined with the Shang Dynasty being torn apart.
This method is not bad, his pros and cons are also obvious, but it doesn't matter if you use it once, it is harmless to the whole, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention Zhang Xiang's elite army.
The elite also has to eat, and no one will see that they are living a good life while being loyal to Zhang Xiang, so Zhang Xiang is very fierce as soon as he makes a move, even more fierce than any previous time.
Liu Bei's army had adapted to the rhythm of Meng Shu and Yan Yan's attack, and suddenly faced Zhang Xiang and was suddenly disrupted, even Liu Bei had to take the lead, and Liu Bei became a bloody man at the end of the day.
The gap between people is still very large, and Liu Bei, who is also the main father, feels that he is the most tired, and the casualty statistics have also come out, and Zhang Xiang's attack in one day has caused more casualties than the previous four days combined.
Moreover, many of the people who died in the war had no ears, and their bodies were affected by their parents, Zhang Xiang could be said to be an insult to the enemy and a provocation to Liu Bei, and Zhang Xiang still did not intend to let Liu Bei go at night.
Although it is a strategy of tired soldiers, but this time Zhang Xiang played a trick of tired soldiers, the previous strategy of tired soldiers was just beating gongs and drums, this time Zhang Xiang directly asked people to tell stories under the city.
And the voice is very loud, Zhang Xiang once made people feel Liu Bei, as things spread more and more widely, there are more and more versions, Zhang Xiang does not dare to underestimate the imagination of the people, and the picture of brain supplement is becoming more and more exaggerated.
Zhang Xiang let people tell the most exciting versions in the city, Xichuan has always been very ill-informed, of course I haven't heard of these, and I was quite interested for a while.
It can only be said that the entertainment life in ancient times was too boring, most of the soldiers in the city had no sleepiness, and even some soldiers deliberately went to the city, and this time the big drama was a compensation given by Zhang Xiang to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's cultivation kung fu is still good, but Ma Kui can't stand it anymore, he is also the protagonist in the play, one of Liu Bei's male favorites, Ma Kui feels that the soldiers around him frequently look at him.
There are a few like him to look behind, but Ma Kui can't leave, he is the general who defends the city without permission, but he has to be willing to be a military lawyer, Ma Kui can only stay in the city and listen to the foul language below.
From dark to dawn, the sound of the city has not stopped, and there have been several groups of people below, some of whom are not even audible clearly, but they have one thing in common, that is, the sound is definitely loud enough.
The story is one after another, and there is no such thing, even Ma Kui didn't know that there were so many versions, and some of them even he hadn't heard before, and Ma Kui felt that his ears were going to be deaf after listening to it for a night, which really hurt his ears!
Liu Bei has returned to the city a long time ago, Liu Bei used to be easy not to go down to the city, last night Liu Bei stayed in the city for two hours and went down, it can be seen that Liu Bei is not so light and light on the surface.
In the early morning, Liu Bei went to the top of the city again, and the treatment he received was much higher than usual, every pair of eyes were looking at him, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter! Many of the soldiers in the city did not sleep all night.
If you don't sleep at night, you will naturally have no energy during the day, even if Liu Bei will boost morale again, the physical exhaustion will not make up for it, this time Zhang Xiang's offensive is stronger than yesterday, because the bounty Zhang Xiang sent it last night.
This is completely different from giving after the war, in order to make money and soldiers to be the first, Liu Bei's double-strand sword is impermeable, but it can't stand being taken care of, and Liu Bei's bounty is the highest.
Even if he cut Liu Bei, it is better than killing ten soldiers, Zhang Xiang's power comes from the northwest, and there is never a shortage of brave and generous people, so naturally there are many people who want to try their luck on Liu Bei.
Among them, there are many lucky people, such as Li Ergou, Li Ergou was born as a domestic servant, participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and was later surrendered by Zhang Xiang.
He also tried his luck on Liu Bei, who knew that he was kicked down by Liu Bei just after passing, Li Ergou picked up the stone powder on the ground and sprinkled it on Liu Bei, recently the city often piled up stones, and some stone dust is also normal.
The end of the stone hurt his eyes more than the sand, and Liu Bei's eyes couldn't open for a while, so Li Ergou took the opportunity to slash Liu Bei, which happened to be on Liu Bei's left arm, and Li Ergou was also self-aware.
It was already a great fortune to be able to cut Liu Bei, and he didn't want anything extravagant, if it weren't for the fear of violating military law, Li Ergou would have run down the city a long time ago, and Liu Bei also changed from a double-strand sword to a single-strand sword.
Liu Bei was injured and Ma Kui naturally came to the rescue, but this process was very eye-catching, because of Zhang Xiang's publicity in the city one night, a good brotherly drama became a shot for love.
That scene changed the flavor all of a sudden, everyone was afraid to avoid it, even Zhang Xiang's people subconsciously took a step back, and Liu Bei didn't want Ma Kui to save him, Zhang Xiang was really evil!
In the evening, Zhang Xiang did not break his promise, Li Ergou not only got a bounty, but also was promoted from centurion to the position of Qu commander, and it was not the first time that Zhang Xiang had done such a thing as buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.
What's more, Li Ergou is an old pawn, and everyone has nothing to say, and Qu Chang is not a general, so it is nothing to Zhang Xiang, but for Li Ergou, it is a step to the sky.
He is already very content as a centurion, Qu Chang is something that Li Ergou can't even think of, and in the next step is the captain, the captain is a general! Everyone looked at Li Ergou with hot eyes.
Liu Bei is regarded by everyone as a smooth road, as long as Liu Bei appears in the city, there will be a group of people rushing towards him, and the means are also varied.
There are more and more wounds on Liu Bei's body, of course, there are more and more people who Zhang Xiang is promoting unusually, and Zhang Xiang feels that it is very worthwhile to exchange some small positions for Liu Bei's injuries.
In the end, Zhuge Liang stood up and begged Liu Bei not to climb the city, it was too dangerous, once Liu Bei had anything to lose, everything else would be in vain.
Zhuge Liang also found a step for Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the commander of the army after all, not if he wants to, Zhuge Liang knows Liu Bei's concerns, so he deliberately made a move.
Liu Bei also took the opportunity to go down to the city, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger when he stayed in the city, for Liu Bei's safety, Ma Kui, Zhao Yun and others really didn't dare to leave for a moment, these were all generals who defended the city.
Gathering in Liu Bei's body, other places will be weak, so that Zhang Xiang's soldiers have a chance to take advantage of it, and now Liu Bei has changed from helping in the city to helping out, and it will not work if he doesn't leave.
In this way, on the third day, Liu Bei went down to the city, and today, the tunnel leading to the city was finally dug through, and finally Zhang Xiang thought about letting Zhang Liao and Gao Ran take on the big responsibility.
As soon as this order was given, Zhang Feilongben and other generals were a little dissatisfied, everyone knew that the soil attack was the direction of the main attack, and at first glance it was a meat-eating errand, and Zhang Feilongben also knew that Zhang Xiang was taking care of them.
But the two didn't want to drink soup, it was not interesting in the city, Zhang Fei was a little better, and he was very familiar with all the generals in the army, but Gao Ran was different, Gao Ran was Yuan Shao's general.
That is, the general, after Yuan Shao's death, there were very few battles around Zhang Xiang, except for the Battle of Xichuan, there were small fights in other places, and Gao Ran was also recruited by Zhang Xiang this time, which can be said to be a latecomer.
But he ate the meat first, and the generals looked at him quite badly, Gao Ran didn't care about this gaze, and he was a mediocre talent if he didn't attract envy, Gao Ran finally saw the opportunity, but he wouldn't let it go.
Zhang Xiang's order has never been changed, Zhang Liao and Gao Ran got down the tunnel, Zhang Liao and Gao Ran knew each other, although they were not familiar with each other, but they were not strangers, and there was no obstacle for the two to cooperate.
Zhang Liao was very cautious, so he deliberately walked in the middle with Gao Ran, and there was no accident until he entered the city.
No wonder he kept smelling a strange smell, Zhang Liao really wanted to beat up the people who were digging the tunnel, he really knew how to choose a place, for the sake of insurance Zhang Liao did not attack immediately, but let most of the people stay in the tunnel.
And sent a few people to check Liu Bei's movements, Zhang Liao always remembered that Zhang Xiang gave them the task, which was to kill Liu Bei instead of taking the city, Zhang Liao knew the difference very well.
Zhang Liao is also familiar with Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei and Lu Bu have fought each other, Zhang Liao clearly knows Liu Bei's ability, if he is not even first-class in commanding and fighting, at most he is only a second-rate.
But when it comes to the kung fu of escaping, no one dares to admit that Liu Bei recognizes the second, and the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, not to mention that Zhang Liao also specially sent someone to ask Zhang Xiang for instructions, and Zhang Xiang thought about it and agreed.
Zhang Liao and the others have already entered the city, and the people in the tunnel are relatively safe, one day later and one day earlier are the same, Zhang Xiang doesn't feel that there is any loss, and a little delay can cost Liu Bei's life, Zhang Xiang feels that it is worth it.
Liu Bei's location was easily detected by Zhang Liao, and Liu Bei never thought that Zhang Xiang would shoot from underground, after all, he was also prepared for an earth attack, but Liu Bei didn't know that he was too late to take precautions.
The next day, Zhang Xiang personally appeared under the city to command the battle, and his soldiers wanted to show it to Zhang Xiang with their lives, after all, Zhang Xiang was a flag before, and he had never been so close. (To be continued.) )
