Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wu Ban Returns to the Camp
Wu Zhao suddenly stood up when he heard this: "How did you do it!" Zhang Bao gave up his life to take Wu Ban, how did he let him escape? ”
The herald said: "It is said that he was ambushed, and in the confusion, the enemy cut the rope of Wu Ban, and our army could not resist the enemy, so he escaped." ”
Sima Guang got up: "It was my mistake." I didn't expect that there would be enemies on the way to Dingjun Mountain, please pioneer and smelt the crime! ”
Wu Zhao was angry: "It's the crime." I'll deduct you for two years, plus fifty military sticks!" ”
Pei Xuan, Feng Zicai and others pleaded one after another, but Wu Zhao refused to let go: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations!" finally won Wu Ban, and he could send it to Zhang Shijun to ask for credit for his brothers, but he actually let him escape! How can you not be guilty? Come on, drag it down! ”
Feng Zicai was not angry: "Pioneer! The enemy set up an ambush, and you didn't expect it yourself, how can you blame Lord Sima? Master Sima is a literati, and he can't afford to stand fifty military sticks, and I am willing to suffer for him! ”
Zhang Bao, Deng Fei, and Wang Bao also stood up: "I am also willing to suffer for him!" ”
Wu Zhao was so angry that he almost fainted: "Okay, good, good, you have a deep brotherhood, and you have become a big villain with me." I will fulfill you, and each of you will be punished with twenty sticks, and you will be punished with two years' imprisonment. Drag it down, hit! ”
Yang Ang wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, he sat back down. Diao Chan and Ximen Qing were afraid of harming the pond fish, so they didn't dare to persuade them again. Suddenly dragged out a bunch of people.
Heavy executions sounded outside the tent, and Wu Zhaowu was indignant and indignant, and scolded in the tent: "Rice bucket! Stupid pig! If you dare to unite against me, you will not be killed! ”
Yang Ang watched coldly, but he didn't smile: "Tut-tut, Wu Xianfeng is worthy of being a young hero, and this temper is really decisive." Admire, admire. ”
Wu Zhao let out a rough breath in his nose: "I'm just too gentle on weekdays, so they think I'm a bully." The tiger is not powerful, don't treat me as a sick cat! ”
Yang Ang smiled: "Even so, if you break them all, who will go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”
Wu Zhao laughed: "Without them, I can't fight?" On the day of the cloud, there will be no more fighting generals, I will personally command and start the siege! ”
Yang Ang applauded: "Good spirit! That's what the big husband does! Yang Ang wishes the vanguard a victory and wins the Sword Pavilion! ”
After the beating of the military sticks, Sima Guang and the others entered the account, and everyone was covered in blood and staggered. Wu Zhao snorted coldly: "If you dare to disobey my orders, this is an example." Feng Zicai listened to the order, on the day of the cloud, you led 3,000 troops, cut down trees around, and made siege equipment; Deng Fei and Wang Bao listened to the order, and the two of you led 500 troops to find and carry stones, and when they were made into trebuchets, they began to storm the Sword Pavilion! Sima Guang, you go and ask Zhang Shijun for your guilt! ”
Diao Chan advised: "They have injuries on their bodies, so they shouldn't work too hard for the time being." Let's keep it for two days! ”
Wu Zhao's eyes froze: "Mr. Ren, do you want to disobey my general order?" ”
Diao Chan was taken aback and didn't dare to say anything more. Wu Zhao snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The vanguard was on fire, and the generals were stunned. After more than ten days of preparation, the rudimentary siege equipment such as trebuchets, ladders, and rams were built, and Wu Zhao gave an order, and the army began to storm the Sword Pavilion.
It's just that the terrain of the Sword Pavilion is really narrow and precipitous. Although there were 20,000 troops, the maximum number of people who could engage the defenders was more than 100 men. Wu Zhao didn't care so much, and took people's lives every day to fill in. The attack is the same: first use a trebuchet to smash for a while, about four or five out of a hundred stones can hit the wall; Then let the ram ram go up and ram it, and at the same time send archers to shoot at the defenders. The terrain was too narrow, and four or five soldiers carrying the ram could not accommodate the shieldmen, who had never rushed to the gate. However, the archers gave the defenders a certain amount of damage, but they also paid for their own casualties that far exceeded the opponent's.
There are two flowers, one on each branch. More than ten days ago, Wu Ban was rescued by a group of sergeants on the way to Dingjun Mountain. He took the spear handed to him by a sergeant and opened fire, killing all the dozens of soldiers of the Wu Zhao Army who were escorting him before he let out a bad breath in his chest. Ask the man who rescued him, "Who are you?" How do you know I'm coming? ”
The leader of the other party came over: "General Wu, the villain's name is Muyang, and he was originally a subordinate of General Pang Xi. When General Pang attacked Hanzhong before, he was defeated by Qin Yi, General Pang Xi was killed in battle, and we were captured, so I had to surrender to Wu Zhao. But when I grew up in Xichuan since I was a child, how could I really join the enemy? Therefore, when he learned that the general was escorted to Dingjun Mountain, he rushed here in advance to ambush. Fortunately, the general was saved. ”
Wu squad raised his spear and pointed at Muyang's throat: "Is that really the case?" Why didn't you escape and return to Xichuan sooner? ”
Mu Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "General Wu, what are you doing here?" Our army was defeated, General Pang Xi was killed in battle, and if we go back rashly, we will be convicted by Shangguan Ye, and secondly, we will inevitably be laughed at by our brothers. I have made a contribution to saving General Wu today, and I will be guaranteed when I go back. ”
Wu Ban stared at him for a long time, although this person was in a cold sweat, he still raised his eyes to look at him without any weakness. Wu Ban gently withdrew his spear: "Good courage, follow me in the future!" Can they all be trusted? ”
Mu Yang knelt down on one knee: "Thank you General Wu for your support!" They are all from my battalion and are absolutely reliable. ”
Wu Ban helped him up: "Speaking of which, you have a life-saving grace for me, and I will definitely let you drink spicy food in the future!" However, at present, the two armies are fighting, and the Wu Zhao battalion is stopped in front of the Sword Pavilion, how can we return to Xichuan? ”
Mu Yang scratched his head: "As long as General Wu changes into the armor of the Wu Zhao Army, it is no problem to pass through the Wu Zhao Army camp at night." It's just that we can't know how to get in, hehe! ”
Wu Ban laughed, and took off his clothes and armor on a dead man who was beheaded on the ground and put it on: "With my Wu Ban's face, I can naturally open the door of this Sword Pavilion." Okay, let's take advantage of the fact that Wu Zhaojun didn't find out that we had escaped, and hurry back to the Sword Pavilion. Back to the Sword Pavilion, all of you will be rewarded! ”
Mu Yang picked at the dead man again, and then got up and walked back. The group marched in a remote place, and when they arrived at the Wuzhao camp, it was almost dark. Wu Ban took everyone in the distance for more than an hour, and then led everyone swaggering towards the camp gate.
The leader of the guards asked, "Who?" ”
Muyang took out his waist card: "I waited for the order of Lord Sima Guang to escort the prisoner Wu Ban, and encountered an ambush on the road, and Wu Ban was rescued!" We have to go and report to Lord Sima immediately, please let me go quickly! ”
The leader of the guards waved a herald and told him to report on the situation. Then he took the waist card and looked at it, and gave it back to him: "The pioneer has an order, don't trespass on Master Sima's tent at night, you go back to the camp to rest first!" ”
Muyang withdrew his waist card, and the group quickly walked through the barracks and touched in the direction of the Sword Pavilion.
"Which general is on duty at the head of the city? Please report to General Lei, I'm Wu Ban! ”
