Chapter 874: Morale Damaged

At night, the city of Guangling County is quiet, except for the footsteps of the soldiers patrolling the night, only the sound of insects and birds chirping.

On the castle tower, after the night of the forbidden patrol, he returned to his room to rest. Stationed in Guangling County, Yu Ban was fully prepared. He arranged soldiers to garrison the Sifang City Tower in Guangling County to prevent Huang Zhong from attacking at night.

Every night, Yu Ban would go on patrol. It is precisely in this way that the ban can make the soldiers vigilant and not relaxed.

In the second half of the night, the soldiers rested early.

"Knock!knock!!"

The majestic sound of war drums sounded abruptly from outside the south 'gate'.

Together, the sound was like a bolt from the blue, shocking. In an instant, all the Wei soldiers on the tower of the East Gate City clenched their spears one by one, and they were all on guard.

When the Wei soldiers of the other 'gates' heard the sound of war drums, they were also on guard, for fear that their place would be attacked.

Yu Ban had already rested, and when he heard the sound of war drums, he suddenly woke up.

He slept in kimono at night.

Rest like this, and if you encounter a war, you can deal with it immediately. Yu Ban hit a carp 'Ting', and directly turned over, quickly put on his armor, carried a sword, and hurriedly rushed out of the room.

Coming to the city tower, Yu Ban looked around and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

The captain who was on patrol at night stepped forward and reported: "General, there are war drums outside the city, but there are only war drums, and I have not seen the soldiers of Chu come to attack. ”

Yu Ban nodded and said, "Be careful!"

"Whoa!"

When the lieutenant received the order, he went down to make arrangements.

Yu Ban's eyes narrowed, and he carefully looked at the dark area outside the city. He and Huang Zhong had been confronted for such a long time, and today was the first time he had encountered a night attack.

This is something that has never happened before.

"Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, it seems that you are already exhausted. After repeated strong attacks, they could not find a way to break the city, so they cursed during the day and sent people to 'disturb' at night. Haha, what a disappointment. ”

Yu Ban said with a smile.

In Yu Ban's view, Huang Zhong's adoption of such a strategy was nothing more than making it difficult for his soldiers to rest well.

There is no need to be afraid of the attack plan.

"Knock!knock!!"

The sound of war drums continued to sound, and it sounded outside the 'gate' of Sifang City in Guangling County. The soldiers under Yu Ban's command were all awakened, and everyone woke up and prepared for battle.

It's just that it's pitch black outside the city, and you can't hear any shouts of killing.

Yu Ban ordered: "Come on!"

A herald came over and stood respectfully aside.

Yu Ban ordered: "Pass the order, and tell the soldiers who have rested not to pay attention to the sound of war drums outside the city." There was no order to go to battle, so they all rested. The soldiers who patrol the night on the tower of the city shall continue to patrol the night and shall not slacken. ”

"Whoa!"

When the herald heard this, he immediately ran around and shouted.

The order was conveyed, and it soon spread all over the country, and all the Wei soldiers knew the news, the patrol that should be patrolled, the rest that should be rested, and no longer paid attention to the sound of war drums outside the city.

For the Wei soldiers who patrolled the night, it had no effect. Their accusation of patrolling the night is to be in charge of defense, and if they don't feel anything, the drumming continues.

However, for the soldiers who had already rested, the sound of war drums was not only noise, but also disturbed.

Because, the evening is the time to recuperate.

If you don't sleep well, it will affect the 'spirit' of the next day.

At the most hateful moment, just as they were about to fall asleep, the drums suddenly rose high, and the soldiers were awakened by the rapid sound of war drums. In addition, in the hearts of the soldiers, they were always worried that the county town would be attacked. The consequence of this is that the soldiers who lie in the tent to rest are always 'confused' and 'confused', and cannot really sleep.

The next morning, none of them had a good rest.

Early the next morning, the sky was just 'clouded' and 'clouded'.

The Wei soldiers in the barracks began to get up 'bed' to wash and then eat breakfast. However, many soldiers had a thick look of fatigue on their faces. Last night, the drums continued intermittently all night, and many of the soldiers did not have a good rest.

To this day, they are still very sleepy.

"Knock! knock!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of dense war drums sounded.

The sound of the war drums, unlike the sound of last night, was very rapid, as if there were endless soldiers attacking the city.

Immediately after, war drums rang out in the city.

The sound of this war drum is very different from the frequency outside the city. The soldiers of the Wei State heard it clearly, and they knew the rhythm of the drum, which was clearly the sound of the war drums in the camp, calling all the soldiers to gather.

When the soldiers got the news, they put on their armor and weapons, and rushed to their respective garrisons.

At this time, on the city tower, he wore armor on the forbidden helmet.

Yu Ban propped up the city wall with both hands, staring at the Chu soldiers who appeared outside the city.

The war drums sounded all night, and Yu Ban didn't rest well.

Now, the soldiers of the Chu State have finally arrived. Yu Ban's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy', he stared at the Chu soldiers outside the city, and saw Huang Zhong riding his horse and walking out.

Huang Zhong had a smile on his face, took a breath, and roared like a loud bell: "Yu Ban Rat, you can hear Ben General speak clearly. ”

After hearing this, Yu Ban said disdainfully: "Huang Zhong, old man, you sent soldiers to attack and disturb outside the city for a night. Even if you use tricks to attack the city, you will not be afraid of anything. ”

Huang Zhong said: "Yu Ban Rat, Ben will not attack the city today, but will just tell you a piece of news in a special way. ”

"What's the news?"

Yu Ban asked.

Huang Zhong didn't answer, he directly raised his hand and waved it in the air.

In an instant, I saw rows of archers coming out among the soldiers of Chu outside the city. The archers were all wound with their bows and arrows, and then aimed at the castle tower.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand and ordered.

In an instant, all the archers let go of their arrows.

"Whoa!!!"

Bows and arrows broke through the air, whistling in the air, forming a rain of arrows, which went straight to the towers of the city, and some bows and arrows even went to the city. Round after round, three rounds of 'shooting' in succession, enough thousands of bows and arrows were 'shot' to the tower.

Yu Ban was also dodging, but his eyes were 'revealed' with suspicion and 'confusion'.

What kind of fame is Huang Zhong doing?

Is this the special way?

Suddenly, Yu Ban's eyes fell on a bow and arrow, and he saw a note tied to the shaft of the bow and arrow. Yu Ban hurriedly picked up a bow and arrow, took down the note and glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly. The content of the note is very simple, there is only one sentence: Lu Xun captured Haixi County and cut off the back road of Guangling County.

It was this sentence that choked Yu Ban's lifeline.

Yu Ban turned to look at the soldiers around him, and at this time, the soldiers stationed on the city tower all started talking, and all the soldiers had panicked expressions on their faces.

"What should I do, Haixi County was captured by Duo Lu Xun. ”

"This Lu Xun is very powerful, I remember that when Xun You and Zhang Liao attacked Wu State, Lu Xunsheng captured Zhang Liao and Xun You. ”

"Where is Haixi County?"

"It's really a waste, because you are a soldier in Guangling County, you don't even know the location of Haixi County. Our Guangling County is the southernmost county of Guangling County, and Haixi County is the northernmost county. Now that Haixi County has been breached, we are under the enemy's back, and the back road is over. ”

"What should I do?"

One by one, the soldiers were talking.

If the rear is not affected, it is all under the control of the ban, and the soldiers will naturally have confidence.

However, Yu Ban stayed in Guangling County, although Huang Zhong was not allowed to take a step forward, but because he could not defend it, the morale of the army was lost. When the war is not affected, the impact is not large, but once the war is frustrated and the situation is unfavorable, morale will suddenly plummet.

As it is now.

The loss of Haixi County caused the army's morale to be 'disordered'.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ban ordered: "Order, confiscate all bows and arrows, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

The order was given, and the soldiers quickly collected the bows and arrows from the castle tower. Although the bow and arrow were confiscated, Yu Ban's heart was already worried.

He always believed that Huang Zhong attacked Guangling County, and at most he divided his troops to attack Hailing County. But now, Yu Ban found out that Huang Zhong actually joined forces with Lu Xun and attacked Haixi County.
