Chapter 57, The Plan of Fire
The person kneeling at Zu Zhao's feet was none other than An Feiyuan, the local altar master of the Wudou Mi Sect, and the local black-hearted sect, "The general spared me and waited, we have already told you the secret passage to enter the county seat, and the incision of this sect, I have told the general everything I can tell!" ”
An Feiyuan was sweating profusely, originally he wanted to escape from the secret passage to find the Yellow Turban Army outside, and kill Zu Zhao inside, but he didn't expect that Zu Zhao had already sent someone to lurk at the mouth of the secret passage, in order to know who else knew about this secret passage, so as to catch it all, who knew that after interrogating An Feiyuan's disciples, he knew that this guy actually cooperated with the Yellow Turban Army outside and wanted to put the Yellow Turban Army outside into the city.
Zu Zhao simply came to steal the beam and change the pillar, took An Feiyuan's jade pendant, and let the oil seller who passed by from here to do business replace An Feiyuan, and entered Zhang Zizhong's big tent.
"You've made a lot of dirty money from human trafficking over the years, right? Take it out, and bring out the grain and grass you have hidden! ”
Zu Zhao kicked out, hitting An Feiyuan's chest and kicking him far away.
"Stay, now that food and grass are in short supply, interrogate this guy and find out where his ill-gotten gains are!".
……
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Zizhong put on his armor, gathered his personal guards and 200 paces, quietly left the camp, and went in the direction of the moat of Huairong County.
Cuckoo!
There was a code from the other side of the moat, which meant safety. Zhang Zizhong let out a breath and looked back at the county seat of Huairong County, with a sneer on his face.
Cuckoo!
The guards beside Zhang Zizhong responded with a code word.
The moat was flowing, and there were several soldiers lying on the raft, as if there were no people at first glance. When Zhang Zizhong came over, the soldiers on the raft hurriedly stood up, and at this moment they connected the raft end to end to form a pontoon bridge, allowing 200 foot warriors to cross the moat in turn.
"The secret cave is over there, and there is flowing water in it, but we have arranged a raft, don't worry, adults!" The soldiers stepped forward again to report, and the spirit Zhang Zizhong went to the secret cave.
"Wait! The herald went down to show me An Feiyuan in the big tent, and said that when I return from the great victory, I will treat him well! If he dares to leave the big tent and kill him in half a step! ”
Zhang Zizhong gave the order coldly, although there were no suspicious suspicions, but now he still had a premonition of unhappiness.
Cuckoo!
The guard called on the other side, this is the voice of a night owl, it is very normal in this night, so this is the best code.
Cuckoo!
The guards on the opposite side signaled peace. The guards beside him breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Zizhong.
Zhang Zizhong took a deep breath, and his heart beat more and more when he saw this swarthy secret cave. He stood in the secret cave and hesitated. Lift your foot but never fall on the raft.
"General, the person guarding the secret cave on the other side is our own soldier sent over!" The guard whispered beside him.
At this time, the straw men were put down on the city wall again, because the secret hole of the moat was next to the root of the wall, and the words of the soldiers above could be vaguely heard: "Put down these straw men again today, wait for Zhang Zizhong's stupid guy to shoot some bows and arrows upwards, we can have arrows tomorrow, even if he burns them with rockets, won't he send us some bows and arrows?" ”
"Zhang Zizhong heard that he is very wise, but in fact he is a straw bag, you see that he has been scared by our fifty straw men for a few days and has not moved! What kind of celebrity, an authentic straw bale, what is the phrase we say during the day? ”
"I know, I know, it's Zhang Zizhong, you're so stupid, do your mother know?"
"I almost laughed at this sentence, who invented this sentence?"
When Zhang Zizhong heard the words of the soldiers above, his whole face turned black, and the soldiers around him were smiling desperately, and their faces were bruised.
"Zu Zhao, tomorrow I will capture your city, I want to make you look good!" Zhang Zizhong gritted his teeth fiercely and stepped on the raft in the secret cave.
The secret cave is not long, only about a hundred meters, and Zhang Zizhong asked a fishy question on the raft.
"What does it smell like?"
"This secret cave is a filthy waterway from the county seat, so it has all kinds of strange smells, many of which are rancid, and the general will arrive soon!" The pro-soldier stepped forward and replied.
There were already pro-soldiers who made fires and found that there were floating vegetable leaves all around, and all kinds of rotting existence.
The secret cave is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Zizhong also feels at ease.
Suddenly, he found that the water in this secret cave was not clear, but extremely turbid, and there seemed to be a layer of oil slick floating on it. And a black layer.
This is?
Subconsciously I felt that these oils were a little familiar.
"Sesame oil!"
Zhang Zizhong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then turned around to find that forty or fifty soldiers had entered the secret cave, all on the raft.
On the other side of the secret cave, Zu Anu watched the firelight keep approaching, and her palms became slippery, and there were dead soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army at his feet.
Zu Zhao also stood there and watched the firelight in the secret cave slowly approach.
Zu Zhao and Zu Anu and several other phantom riders were all carrying oil drums one by one, and they were slowly upside down, so as not to make a sound that made Zhang Zizhong suspicious.
"Eldest son, that Zhang Zizhong is getting closer and closer, is it too dangerous to let someone else replace you!"
Zu A-Nu was a little worried.
"No, Zhang Zizhong is also a generation of famous generals, and it is also a good thing that I can personally pit him!" Zu Zhao sneered, of course the pit people have to do it themselves to be interesting.
Not far away, Zhang Zizhong touched the slippery sesame oil in the water, and his heart sank to the ground all of a sudden.
"Everyone jumped into the water and retreated! We've been tricked! ”
Zhang Zizhong roared and jumped into the water.
Outside, Zu Zhao's voice came faintly: "It is worthy of General Zhang Zizhong, I can see that this is a fire attack, but unfortunately it is a little late!" Throw the torch! ”
More than a dozen torches whizzed into the cave.
The dragon began to burn along the whizzing of the sesame oil, and barrels of sesame oil were still pouring into the water.
"Zu Zhao, you are despicable, you actually use such indiscriminate means! Do you have the ability to fight with me with real guns? Zhang Zizhong roared angrily, no matter how wise he was, he still fell in love with Zu Zhao's way.
"Zhang Zizhong, you are not despicable, what are you doing in this secret hole? Don't tell me you're going to fight me openly! ”
Run!
Zhang Zizhong took a breath, plunged into the water, and swam up the hole to go back.
As soon as he dived, a layer of fire dragon burst out of it.
Underwater, too, there are a lot of scrambling soldiers swimming with their breath in their breath.
In the other five secret caves, this is also happening.
Zu Zhao looked at it coldly and instructed Zu Anu: "Let Zhang Xian put our ghost horse down, we must find grain and grass, there is no shortage of their grain and grass!" When the Yellow Turban Army camp was on fire, we rode inside to turn around twice, and we couldn't let the ghost ride hit hard and pick up cheap kills.
Zhang Zizhong's teeth rattled, and he watched as the guards around him were burned by the oil and struggled for a moment before sinking into the water.
Zhang Zizhong didn't dare to show his head, his hair and clothes were full of sesame oil, and once he showed up, these sesame oils would immediately ignite back when they touched the raging flames on the water.
You can only avoid the flames by diving into the water, but there are not many who are really water-savvy, and most of the soldiers died in the secret cave.
When Zhang Zizhong crawled out of the secret cave, the flames in his hair were raging, he was a burning man, and a personal soldier took a bucket of water and splashed it on his body, and the result was even more violent.
"Bastard, wet the quilt and cover me with the quilt!" Zhang Zizhong roared loudly, he rolled on the ground, his eyes staring at the secret cave.
On the other side of the secret cave, there was a young figure with a torch, looking at him, you could see snow-white teeth, indicating that the young man on the other side was laughing at him.
When the flames on his body were extinguished, Zhang Zizhong's whole body was blistered out one by one, and he suffered extensive burns.
When the soldiers carried him back to the tent, they found that all the soldiers in the tent had been killed. All the soldiers were fatally shot with one shot, in the throat.
That chubby An Feiyuan had already run away.
At this time, the grain and grass tent in the distance was bursting into flames, "Go water, go water!" The shouts panicked all the Yellow Turbans.
After hearing the sound of walking water, Zhang Zizhong smiled helplessly, this is a serial scheme, but he was fooled, Zu Zhaonian Fang is weak, but he has a city in his chest, and even a middle-aged man like himself has designed it, and now he finally understands why Cheng Zhiyuan is angry and vomits blood, not that Cheng Zhiyuan is too incompetent, but that this Zu Zhaoyuan is too demonic.
"Resist the horses and deer, put up the cavalry, let the cavalry prepare, their cavalry will definitely come looking for trouble!" Zhang Zizhong supported his body and gave orders one after another. He missed it once, and he couldn't make it wrong again. There are still more than 1,400 soldiers and horses in his hands, as long as he doesn't mess around, Zu Zhao's 200 ghost horses won't be able to make any waves in this dark night.
After a while, Zu Zhao's ghost horse came, seeing that Zhang Zizhong had already erected layers of rejection horses and deer, Han Dang gave up this night attack, Zu Zhao told Han Dang not to be able to fight hard, the other party will naturally retreat without food and grass, as long as they retreat, follow them and slowly pursue.
At dawn, Zhang Zizhong stood all night with a spear supporting his body, exhausted and trembling from the burns on his body.
"General, our grain and grass have not been destroyed, and now there is no grain and grass at all!" The guards came to report.
Zhang Zizhong's eyes were blood-red, and the burning of grain and grass meant that all the Yellow Turban soldiers would start hungry in the morning.
How to storm a city hungry?
How do you defend when you're hungry?
Without food and grass, the horses will lose weight, and their combat power will plummet.
And above the city, Zu Zhao stood there, his clothes fluttering in the wind. Squinting at Zhang Zizhong, who was standing in place for a day and a night, the two looked at each other for a moment, Zhang Zizhong sighed: "Withdraw, let the most elite cavalry break the back, and prevent Zu Zhao's cavalry from sneaking attack!" ”
The guards hurriedly agreed.
Methodically retreated with the Yellow Turban Army, and Zhang Zizhong never looked back at Huairong County.
Zu Zhao used 300 cavalry to force him back, whether it was a conspiracy or a conspiracy, he had nothing to say.
"I hope I won't meet such a wicked guy next time!"
