Chapter 374: Night Attack

"General Zhu, there is Xi'e in front, and it is also the only place we must pass through on our trip to Wanxian. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What's the situation in the county, and who's on duty?" Looking at the map in the moonlight, Zhu Jun asked the lieutenant general beside him, these messages are usually the first to be obtained by the lieutenant in charge of intelligence.

"I heard the locals say that although this Xi'e County is small, but the official army and the Yellow Turban thieves have done many battles here, and now it is almost an empty city, and the Wanxian spies have sent news that Xi'e is now guarded by Tang Jun, the newly appointed cavalry general appointed by Zhang Jiao, and the troops he brings are only 2,000."

"Two thousand? How so? Such an important place can only be protected by at least 8,000 soldiers, how can the Yellow Turban Thief be so reluctant? Zhu Jun felt very incredible.

"The spies also reported this situation, and Zhang Mancheng's officers didn't seem to be very convinced by Tang Jun who suddenly appeared, so they didn't replenish his troops."

"It's true, the Yellow Turban thieves are a group of rabble, although there are a large number of them, they also like infighting the most, such an important portal is so despised for their own selfishness, this man is really a straw bag."

"But it's also convenient for us to wait, let Zhao Qu lead 5,000 men and horses to besiege the city, and the army will attack the city, don't get away with a yellow turban thief." There was no mention of Tang Jun in his tone.

"No~~"

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Shengxian also "saw" the scene in front of him.

"Pass the order, the enemy is coming."

"No~~"

The soldiers who were pretending to sleep all came to their senses, although it was dark outside, but they were all convinced of General Tang's words, and the general said that it was coming, it must be coming.

"Archers are ready, aim at the city gate, and the ladders and battering rams are all on standby."

"Arrow~~"

Suddenly, the first wave of arrows covered all the city towers, but fortunately, with the hardwood shield issued by Tang Shengxian, the Yellow Turban Army below was very safe.

"Ladder column, up." There were no soldiers shouting in the silence of the night, they just carried the ladder and sprinted forward quickly, hoping to run the short distance of 100 meters before the enemy could react.

Very well, a rabble is a rabble, and without the slightest reaction, they finally crossed this distance of death.

"Ka~Ka~" The top of the ladder was already firmly attached to the city wall, but just as they were about to climb up, something changed.

"Puff~Bang~~Puff...... is the sound of the wine jar breaking, and the soldiers below who have not yet started to climb feel a liquid splashing on their bodies, not the smell of wine, just when most of the soldiers were still stunned, some veterans smelled what this was.

"It's kerosene, be careful." Although the appearance is different, the smell will not change, and this is a sadder way to die than being killed directly by a sword. It's like a nightmare. However, it was all over.

"Huh~~" Dozens of rockets shot straight down.

"Boom~~" A violent fire rose into the sky. Instantly devoured all the people below. The sudden change stunned the battering rams that were still charging, and they were greeted by a rain of arrows from the sky.

Looking at the fire in the distance, Zhu Jun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, oh no, he was tricked, this is a trap set by the Yellow Turban thief, and he jumped into it willingly, what two thousand people are all a pretense, just a reason for him to attack Xi'e.

"Withdraw the troops, withdraw quickly." The soldiers who were lying in ambush more than a hundred meters away were all exposed in the light of the fire, and the range of bows and arrows shooting upward and downward was different, and the archers on the tower could pour arrows into the military formation.

As soon as he thought about it, the Yellow Turbans did so, and although they gave the order to retreat, they still left hundreds of corpses behind. He Zhu Jun completely lost this battle, retreated to a safe distance thousands of kilometers away, and then stopped, and the number of people in each battalion and department was counted and found that there were more than 1,500 people in total. If he knew that there were really only 2,000 Yellow Turban troops in Xi'e City, he would probably vomit blood.

Seeing that the officers and troops under the city just retreated to two miles away and did not retreat, Tang Shengxian knew that this matter was not over, so Zhu Jun would definitely want to get it back after suffering such a big loss, but even if it was a head-on battle, he would not admit it, and Tang Shengxian had not done anything about taking the head of the general among thousands of troops, just looking at Zhu Jun's choice tomorrow.

This first anti-night attack was quite beautiful, but Tang Shengxian was not too happy, this battle was won in anticipating the enemy's opportunities and the advantages of weapons, and Tang Shengxian still had a lot to learn from the march.

On the second day, Zhu Jun did not lead a large army to attack the city, since he knew that there were a lot of troops here, or a rare elite in the Yellow Turban Army, he naturally would not be hard-hitting, he was ready to bypass the West Hubei and take it directly, there were elite soldiers here, Wanxian County's natural troops were empty, and he and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Xuan and Qin Jie's troops together to break through Wanxian.

Of course he won't swallow Tang Shengxian's breath, and he will clean him up when the matter over there is over.

In this way, Zhu Jun left 2,000 infantry here to guard and block Tang Shengxian, in short, he wanted to stop Tang Shengxian. The order he left for them was to continue to harass and fight, and not to let them return to Wanxian.

Zhu Jun's move was also expected by Tang Shengxian, looking at the departing army Tang Shengxian was silent, Zhang Mancheng is about to die, die quickly, only this straw bag is dead can bring out Tang Shengxian's ability.

Tang Shengxian did not pay attention to the two thousand officers and soldiers below, he fulfilled his original promise, the feast was three days, and he couldn't drink alcohol while still fighting, but the meat pipe was enough, he killed a hundred pigs at one time, and the soldiers below ate refreshingly, and Tang Shengxian in the county government was also busy with his own affairs. They are "trapped" in the city, so they naturally cut off contact with the outside world, but they can't stand Tang Shengxian and high-tech!

On this day, when he was studying, Xiao Wai came with the news - Zhang Mancheng was deceived out of the city and let Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie be killed.

is still very in line with the trend of history, although there is such a variable as Tang Shengxian. But it was still twisted back, but in the back, Tang Shengxian killed several important figures in the Three Kingdoms? I don't know if I can still connect it?

Tang Shengxian was very curious, but he knew that he would not play blindly in advance, there was only one chance, and it would be bad if the game collapsed, although it was not the biggest advantage, but it was still beneficial to know the direction of some world processes. For example, where to ambush in the future, and to know who is the biggest threat.

But this is all in the future, the most important thing now is that Zhang Mancheng is dead, and Zhang Jiao still has more than three months to live, so Tang Shengxian must show his grandeur now and show his strength.

"Tell the soldiers that they are ready to go on the expedition, and we are leaving Xi'e." Tang Shengxian said to Gao Hu on the side.

"No~"

That night, Tang Shengxian left Xi'e with 2,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army, who were full of wine and food, and with the assistance of high technology, they did not alarm the officers and troops stationed outside the city.

Thirty kilometers is not far away, Tang Shengxian's Yellow Turban Army is not those old, weak, sick and disabled in Wan County, and now his foot strength is better than that of the official army, so Tang Shengxian came to the vicinity of Wan County more than seven hours later.

Tang Shengxian also saw the scene of Zhang Mancheng's killing, the 30,000 horses and horses he accompanied were directly broken on the battlefield, and five or six thousand people died on the spot, and the remaining 20,000 people were in chaos after the death of the commander, and their own combat effectiveness was not strong. Sometimes quantity really doesn't make up for quality.

Now that the entire Wanxian County has fallen into the hands of the officials and the army, Tang Shengxian, who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, of course knows that this is only temporary, and when Zhao Hong is supported as a marshal by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, he will gather the forces of the Yellow Turban Army distributed in Nanyang and retake Wanxian County as a base area.

But that's just oppressing the officials and soldiers with more than 100,000 troops to give up Wanxian, this is not a real skill, and now Tang Shengxian is going to use his real ability. Give it a head-on blow at the proudest moment of the entire officer and army.

"General Bao, there are about 20,000 officers and troops in Wanxian County, led by Zhu Jun, Xu Xuan and Qin Jie."

Well, this is information that has been known for a long time, just to verify the correctness.

"Let's go, prepare for the siege."

"This, General, we only have two thousand." Gao Hu hesitated.

"Two thousand people are like this, two thousand people I can capture Wanxian." Tang Shengxian naturally wouldn't make a decision that he couldn't complete.

"No." No matter how much I don't believe that Gao Hu still chose to obey the military order, although Tang Shengxian has always been reliable, but this is not the reason why he Gao Hu accompanied him to do such an incredible thing, you must know that Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sunk the boat is also a three-to-eight military strength, but now it has suddenly become a one-to-ten ratio, and it is still a siege war with huge losses.

Even so, Gao Hu still agreed, this is because when he was in Julu, he knew that Tang Shengxian was from Maoshan, and their great sage and good teacher were also from the Daomen, and from Tang Shengxian, he could feel a stronger momentum than those disciples of the great sage and good teacher, which was the reason why he chose to believe in Tang Shengxian.

In fact, Tang Shengxian was still a little surprised by Gao Hu's decision to finally obey his military orders, except for logistics and some things to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, Tang Shengxian did not show any other abilities, whether it was martial arts or Taoism, he had never used it in front of these people, but he didn't expect this Gao Hu to still believe him.

It seems that this Gao Hu is still worth cultivating, although he is not handsome, but he does not have great requirements for Tang Shengxian in this regard, he can conquer the world alone, and Tang Shengxian does not believe that he has any domineering spirit that will attract martial arts to vote.

In this way, Tang Shengxian led two thousand men and horses to march in the direction of Wanxian, and the battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
