Chapter 422: Bamboo Basket Fetching Water
When the three armies of Sun, Liu and Cao attacked Yingchuan City at night, several fast horses galloped towards the ten miles of dense forest outside Yingchuan City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General Qiqi Gao, the coalition forces have abandoned the North City Gate."
"Oh? Sure enough, as the lord expected," after hearing Tanma's report, Gao Shun smiled and nodded: "The three armies of Sun Liu and Cao are already insufficient, and after a long time, the more they fight, the fewer the troops, so that they are unable to besiege the city, okay, General Han and General Cheng, we should implement the lord's plan next, you two are the master, I will lead the army later, after opening the gate of Yingchuan City, the two generals are the first merit, I ......"
"Wait!"
Suddenly drinking Gao Shun's words, Lu Buhong said: "General Gao, you are the leading general, the deception of the city is too dangerous, and if you are a little careless, you are afraid that there will be no return, so it should be up to me, the vanguard, to go to the deception city." ”
For Zhang Yi to order Gao Shun as the main general, Lu Bu was not very happy in his heart, plus Lu Bu and Zhang Fei are a bit similar, Zhang Fei likes to rob Lu Bu's merits, and Lu Bu wants to rob them when he sees the merits.
"No," categorically rejected Lu Bu's request, Gao Shun said with a straight face: "General Lu, it is precisely because I am the main general that I should go to the city to deceive the city." ”
Lu Bu loves to fight for merit, Zhang Yi has already made it clear to Gao Shun, and Gao Shun is not a person who likes to grab merit, if he changed the usual Gao Shun, he would definitely let go, but now is the critical moment to win Yingchuan, Gao Shun will naturally not give in easily, but Lu Bu has already regarded Yingchuan City as his own bag at this time, let alone give it to Gao Shun.
"Wrong," interrupting Gao Shun's words with the same seriousness, Lu Bu asked rhetorically: "General Gao, you are the commander of the first army, and your trapped camp cannot be commanded by anyone, do you think you can risk your life?" Besides, if only a few hundred elites go to the Fraud City, wouldn't my Hundred Beast Battalion be more suitable? ”
"This ......"
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun hesitated, because Lu Bu was telling the truth, the trapping camp only listened to Gao Shun and Zhang Yi's orders in the Dingping army, but even Zhang Yi was not good at commanding the trapping camp, of course, this is not to say that the trapping camp did not listen to Zhang Yi's orders, but that Zhang Yi would not command the trapping camp to fight.
This operation is to let Han Zhong and Cheng Yuanzhi pretend to be defeated to defraud the city, too many people and horses are not easy to have, too many people and horses are not like a defeated rout, and the second is to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, so Zhang Yi asked Gao Shun to take only 500 people to defraud the city, and some of these 500 people will be the Yellow Turban Army, so that only the Hundred Beast Battalion is the most suitable.
"So I'll go," Seeing that Gao Shun was silent, Lu Bu immediately beckoned to Han Zhong and Cheng Yuanzhi: "Han Cheng, two generals, let's go!" ”
With Han Zhong, Cheng Yuanzhi and five hundred men and horses, Lu Bu hurried to Yingchuan City.
"Stop! Archers on alert! ”
As soon as Lu Bu and the others arrived at the city, the Yellow Turban defenders who were in charge of guarding the city wall immediately stopped them.
After ordering the archers to be on guard, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, who was guarding the city, asked in a loud voice: "Who are you?" Why is it here in the middle of the night? ”
At this time, Yingchuan was besieged on three sides, shouting and killing constantly, the Yellow Turban Army was all worried, although they saw that the army below was wrapped in the Yellow Turban Army, but they still didn't dare to slack off, naturally they didn't dare
"I'm Cheng Yuanzhi, go and tell Yang Kai that Pingling City is lost, Peng Tuoqu Shuai died in battle, and we have suffered heavy losses."
Cheng Yuanzhi's shouting made the Yellow Turban Army defending the city stunned, and they didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Yuanzhi's words for a while.
Pingling City lost? Hundreds of thousands of troops with heavy losses? This is simply unbelievable for the defenders in Yingchuan City, because Pingling City is known as the strongest city in the Yellow Turban Army, and there are 300,000 defenders in it, guarded by important figures such as Zhang Bao, Zhang Mancheng, Zuo Zhangba, etc., plus the 100,000 troops led by Peng Tuo, who rushed to support not long ago, add up to 400,000, and the main force of the Han army is now contained, so after hearing Cheng Yuanzhi's shout, the first thing the defenders thought of was that the person who came was a liar.
"Cheng Yuanzhi? How come I haven't heard the name? The leader of the Yellow Turban guarding the city looked at Cheng Yuanzhi below with suspicion, and then turned his head and asked the people around him: "Have you heard of this name?" ”
In order not to leak the plan before the uprising, the list of personnel in the Yellow Turban Army was kept secret, Cheng Yuanzhi was the person in charge of the Youzhou area, and Han Zhong had been hiding in the mountains, so it was normal for the defenders of Yingchuan not to know the two of them, and it was for this reason that Han Zhong didn't even say anything.
"I haven't heard of it."
"I don't know."
"Not at all."
“……”
Sure enough, the Yellow Turban soldiers standing on the city wall shook their heads almost at the same time.
"Don't know? That's a fake. ”
Seeing that his subordinates shook their heads, the leader of the yellow scarf suddenly became suspicious, and immediately wanted to release the arrows, but just as he was about to give the order to release the arrows, someone shouted under the city gate that he knew Cheng Yuanzhi.
"Boss, Cheng Yuanzhi is one of our Qu Shuai, he is the biggest official in Youzhou, and I have been his disciple."
"What?"
That person's shouting stunned everyone and relieved Cheng Yuanzhi under the city.
Turning his head cautiously, Cheng Yuanzhi whispered to Yang Kai beside him: "General, can you spare my brother's life, I ......"
Frowning and thinking about it, Lu Bu said in a low voice: "When you enter the city, you stop him, if you can't stop him, don't blame us." ”
Listening to Lu Bu's words, Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly nodded.
When Cheng Yuanzhi was talking to Lu Bu here, Han Zhong said pitifully: "I'm the general Han Zhong, open the city gate quickly, we haven't rested for two days and one night in order to report the news, and we haven't eaten." ”
Han Zhong's pitiful voice instantly won the sympathy of the defenders, and the two soldiers hurriedly persuaded the guards to open the city gate, but just after the guard commander gave the order to open the city gate, he suddenly saw the Xuanjin armor on Lu Bu's body, and his heart immediately became suspicious again.
It's no wonder that the leader is suspicious, there is no decent armor in the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban leader who defends the city, he has seen the golden armor on Lu Bu's body in his life, and it is strange that it does not arouse suspicion.
"Squeak~"
The gate below was already a third of the way open, but the leader of the Yellow Turban guarding the city suddenly shouted: "Stop opening the door, who is the person wearing the golden armor below?" ”
The leader of the Yellow Turban guarding the city shouted the dialect of the Yingchuan region, Lu Bu couldn't understand it, and Lu Bu kept his head down because he was afraid of recognizing it, and he couldn't see the face of the leader of the Yellow Turban guarding the city at all, but he heard that the other party's tone was not good.
"Kill!"
Lu Bu, who noticed that something was wrong, immediately shouted, and at the same time threw out the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, the Fang Tian painting halberd was impartial, and it happened to penetrate through the crack in the door, stabbing the yellow turban soldier who wanted to close the city gate, and that soldier was Cheng Yuanzhi's so-called brother.
At the same time as throwing Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu slapped the Peerless Divine Horse, and the Absolute Shadow Divine Horse immediately understood, and immediately threw off its four hooves and rushed towards the city gate.
Almost the third second after the spear stabbed the Xianbei soldier, the black dragon had already arrived, and the yellow turban soldier who was stabbed hadn't even fallen yet, Lu Bu leaned over and took Fang Tian's halberd back into his palm.
After galloping to the city gate, at Lu Bu's signal, the Shadow Divine Horse raised a pair of front hooves and stepped on the city gate fiercely.
With the powerful and heavy step of the Shadow Divine Horse, the two Yellow Turban soldiers behind the door immediately couldn't hold it anymore and both fell to the ground, but the city gate still couldn't be opened.
"Close the gates!"
The sudden change made the yellow turban under the city gate also react, and several soldiers standing far away also rushed over, trying to close the city gate together, but just when they were struggling to close the city gate, Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd became their biggest obstacle.
"Ahhh
Roaring, Lu Bu fought with his arms and wanted to open the city gate, but the city gate did not move, and at this time, on the city wall, the leader of the Yellow Turban had already ordered the arrows to be released.
"Ah~"
There were 100 men on the city wall, and the rain of arrows that poured down immediately hit the warriors of the Hundred Beast Battalion, and two of them were killed on the spot.
Seeing that the enemy army had seen through the plan, Han Zhong hurriedly shouted: "General Lu, you can't open the city gate alone, quickly retreat, we can attack the city with the whole army!" ”
"Open!"
As if stimulated by Han Zhong's words, Lu Bu suddenly shouted, shook his arms vigorously, and the city gate "creaked".
Seeing that the city gate was loosened, Lu Bu shook it twice more with all his strength.
"Quack"
"Click"
With Lu Bu's last flick, there was a sound of explosions on the two wooden bolts on the city gate, and then the black dragon raised his double kick again, and the one-foot-high solid wooden gate collapsed with a bang.
"Beast Camp! Assault! ”
With a roar, Lu Bu took the lead in rushing into Yingchuan City.
"Xiu~Peng"
At the same time as Lu Bu and the others rushed into the city, a ringing arrow also rose from the north city gate, and the huge explosion sound emitted by the ringing arrow instantly attracted everyone's attention, and after seeing the light emitted by the ringing arrow, everyone's thoughts were also different, some were confused, some were surprised, and some showed a look of fear on their faces.
"Hizz~"
After seeing the same arrow, Cao Cao showed a puzzled expression on his face, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, but he immediately stepped up the offensive against Yingchuan City, and Liu Bei and Sun Jian also did the same.
There were few defenders left in Yingchuan City, and after launching a fierce attack on three sides at the same time, the defenders in the city could not support it, but just when Cao Cao thought that Yingchuan City was about to be breached, there was a sudden chaos on the east wall where he was attacking.
"Huh?"
After hearing the shouts of killing coming from the city wall, Cao Ren, who was standing beside Cao Cao, shouted excitedly: "Look, the Yellow Turban Thief is ......"
Cao Ren, who was about to shout the word "civil strife", suddenly seemed to be choked by the neck, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible, but in fact, he heard something shocking him.
"Outside the city, but the soldiers and horses of General Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry? If General Cao's soldiers and horses are my Gao Shun here, thank you here, Yingchuan City has been captured by my Dingping army, General Cao's great help, my Gao Shun will report to my lord in the future. ”
Gao Shun's shouting at the head of the city made Cao Cao and others outside the city dumbfounded.
