Liang Xi and Hao Zhao are also almost ready, and the two thousand soldiers who infiltrated Nanzheng are also on standby, as long as Liang Xi and Hao Zhao give an order, they can open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city in the fastest time.

"Bodao, can you find out?" In the dark, I couldn't see the faces of Liang Xi and Hao Zhao clearly, but I heard him ask in a low voice.

Hao Zhao nodded and whispered: "Zhang Lu has already left Nanzheng yesterday, and now only a few of his henchmen in Nanzheng are responsible for dispatching supplies and soldiers and horses to Weiyang. ”

"It's okay"

Liang Xi pondered for a moment and said: "Since Zhang Lu has gone to Chuyang, he has also thrown himself into the net, in this case, take Nanzheng first, those materials are enough to support our army's march for at least half a month." ”

"Let the little brother go and go in person, there can be no accidents with that batch of supplies." Hao Zhao said in a serious voice.

"Bo Dao is right, this batch of materials is of great use to our army, even if Nan Zheng doesn't want it, the materials must be taken away, just in case, you still lead an elite to sneak over quietly and wait." Liang Xi said.

Hearing this, Hao Zhao nodded, turned around and went into a remote alley, followed by more than two hundred unarmored soldiers under the leadership of Hao Zhao, looking for a direction.

Seeing this, Liang Xi waved his hand to disperse the remaining soldiers and horses, according to the results of his prior consultation with Hao Zhao, these 1,800 people, except for 300 elites who went to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, the remaining 1,500 people need to guard several key roads, and deal with all possible accidents when the army has not completely poured into the city.

Taking out the hourglass hidden in his arms, Liang Xi stared carefully at the faint light. There is only a small poke left in the Xisha that has not yet been drained. Estimated by Liang Xi. At most, it was only a quarter of an hour, which was the attack time he agreed with Ma Chao, and in this process, opening the city gate was the first and most important step, if the army could not enter the city, it was really impossible to achieve anything great by relying on their two thousand people except to set a few fires to alarm the defenders in the city.

It's late at night. The ugly hour is about 3:45 Beijing time, and during this time period, the soldiers and civilians in the city are also the time when they sleep the deepest, that is, the defenders of the city gates, and it is inevitable that they will be tired, which is why Liang Xi chose to do it at the ugly hour, what he wants is the unexpected effect.

The soldiers and horses patrolling Nanzheng Street tonight did not find that in the dark, there was still such a soldier and horse, and Hanzhong had not encountered a war for a long time. has not become a springboard for the Shu Han fight as it has done in history. After Zhang Lu cut off the Xiegu Road, it was basically cut off from Guanzhong, although there were occasional incidents with Liu Zhang over the years, but it was not possible to talk about the large-scale use of troops, and the territory of Hanzhong was peaceful, so even the soldiers stationed in the county had long been worn out of vigilance by the long-term peace, and now Liang Xi and Hao Zhao sneaked into the city, and they were not even interrogated, Yan Pu and Yang Ang's inventory orders were ordered to sacrifice wine at all levels, but it was only like this, this kind of top-down truncated information or policy, no matter what era, has been since ancient times.

Ordinary soldiers are also accustomed to the inherent mode of survival, and the routine inspection every day is just a routine, turning around a few times, finding a place, sleeping quietly, or a few brothers engaging in a pot of wine and gambling on a handful or two, this kind of thing is extremely common in the army that has broken military discipline.

The hourglass fell little by little, this thing is actually not in this era, and there is some difference between the hourglass in the traditional minds of modern people, this is the idea brought by Yuan Shang, a traverser, and the famous craftsman in the tiger and wolf army kept experimenting to toss it, the glass necessary for the hourglass, in this era, basically can't be found, although Yuan Shang probably remembered that the Warring States had similar items with glass, however, after searching all over the country, he still didn't find it, in order to make the hourglass out, In the end, I had to use other materials as substitutes, which did not work very well, but it was enough to observe the phenomenon of sand flowing.

The sand fell bit by bit, Liang Xi's eyes stared at it and never moved away, as the sand became more and more scarce, knowing that there was only a little bit left, Liang Xi silently began to count down in his heart.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Two, one"

Then Liang Xi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and with a wave of his arm, the three hundred soldiers who had been waiting for the battle instantly melted into the darkness and touched towards the city gate.

Liang Xi hoarded 300 troops at the east gate, he did not have the idea of opening several other city gates, according to the information he obtained, each city gate is 500 men and horses on duty a night, with the 300 elites under his command, as long as there is no accident, it is not difficult to take a city without any preparation.

Liang Xi waited under the city with seven or eight personal guards, and within a moment, he heard the sound of weapons entering the body one after another, and the five hundred soldiers who were given the title of ghost pawns in the city completely became ghost pawns this time.

A sound of footsteps sounded, Liang Xi's heart tightened, fortunately, it was his own soldiers who came down from the city, all of them were stained with blood, and the war knives in their hands were dripping.

"Captain, the mission has been successfully completed." Of the three hundred people, a young man who was supposed to be an officer stepped forward and reported.

"Open the gates."

Liang Xi's spirits perked up, and he said in a deep voice: "Welcome the army into the city." ”

"Boom~"

The gates were wide open, and the loud sound of the hanging gates falling on the moat was infinitely amplified in the silence of the night.

"What's going on?"

"Why are the gates still open at this time?"

"Go see where it is?"

A voice full of incomprehension sounded, but at this moment, Ma Chao, who had been waiting outside the city for half an hour, and more than 20,000 elites under his command suddenly let out a deafening shouting and killing sound.

"Not good, there is a large army entering the city"

"It's an enemy attack"

"Look, they're all going in towards the east gate."

"A lot of people"

A shout, accompanied by incomprehension, spread to the entire city in the dark night.

"Kill"

The tiger head spear in Ma Chao's hand suddenly fell, and nearly 30,000 elite soldiers and horses rushed into the east gate, and Liang Xi and more than 200 soldiers were already at the city gate to greet him.

"Major General, live up to your mission." Liang Xi clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Very good, Brother Ziyu and Bodao have made great contributions, and I will ask the general for merit for you." Ma Chao laughed.

Liang Xi was also not modest, turned sideways and let Ma Chao and the army enter the city.

"Occupy the city first." Ma Chao is worthy of being a warlord-born general, vigorous and resolute, with his order, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses galloped towards the urn city like lightning.

The urn city is a unique defensive building of a large city, called the moon city, it is a small city built outside the city gate, don't think that Liang Xi opened the east gate to be able to successfully take Nanzheng, Ma Chao is not the first time to lead the army, naturally understands that only after the capture of the urn city, Nanzheng's war will fall into his control, and now, the defenders in the city have obviously not reacted, it is the critical moment for him to occupy the key points in the city in one fell swoop.

There was no time to greet Liang Xi, Guo Huaiyun, Hetian, Kaiba, Yunmajia and other generals rode by, and the cold light and sword shadows flashed by, accompanied by the roaring sound of horses' hooves, and the thick night instantly shook like thunder.

Ma Chao took the lead, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him poured into the urn city, the defenders who were not prepared at all could not form an effective counterattack in the fastest time, under the attack of Ma Chao and other generals who are good at rapid attack rhythm, the so-called defense was instantly fragmented, the urn city was just an impact, it was all based on Ma Chao, after the solid backing was erected, headed by several generals above the lieutenant colonel level of Ba Yuntian Kaiyun Crane Ma Xiu Ma Tie Guo Huai Guo Yuan, each led his troops to kill into Nanzheng in the roar, without the barrier of the urn city, Nan Zheng is like a woman in her arms by a macho man, trembling in the dark night, how can she resist a macho man who is full of fat.

The screams came and went, and the defenders of Nanzheng were still asleep, but they were blocked in the tent, and the sharp arrows were aimed at their vital points, and after shooting nearly a thousand people, 50,000 people had not even had time to pull up their pants before they had chosen to surrender.

Ma Chao did not massacre on a large scale, before entering Shu, Yuan Shang had an explanation, no general is allowed to wantonly slaughter the people of Yizhou, this point has been announced in the form of an official document into Shu 100,000 soldiers and horses, whoever dares to make a mistake will have to move, the intelligence department and the Falcon intelligence team are not jealous, and there is still a place to arrest is ready to move, these years, which unruly generals have not been overwhelmed, no one dares to challenge Yuan Shang's authority, including Ma Chao.

"Major General, all the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the military camp in the city have been captured, please ask for instructions." The soldiers sent by Guo Huai Bayun and others were in one place, and one person came out to report.

A smile flashed at the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, and he replied: "All overwhelm the guards outside the city." ”

"Whoa."

The dozen or so people turned around and left, before dawn, they saw the tiger head gun in Ma Chao's hand and waved: "Go, go to the Shijun's Mansion and sit." ”

The three thousand elite soldiers who followed closely behind Ma Chao twitched the reins of their horses, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and headed towards the Shijun Mansion where Zhang Lu lived on weekdays and engaged in affairs with the other party. (To be continued......)
