Chapter 155: The Battle of Guangzong (3)
After Li Ru arranged everything, he returned to the camp, found Dong Zhuo, and told him to guard the north gate.
Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled, he didn't understand that now that victory was in sight, shouldn't it be the South Gate that should be guarded against?
"Father-in-law. I thought about it for a long time, if the other party wants to give us a full set, they will definitely go through the north gate, the south gate is the earliest place of battle between our two sides, and they know that it is impossible to avoid us in any action. ”
Dong Zhuo tasted it carefully, it was indeed the reason, so he called another son-in-law, Niu Fu, and asked him to go to the north gate to inform Liu Bei that he would pay close attention to the movements at the north gate tonight.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, no one thought that it was this dispatch of Niu Fu to deliver the message that completely changed Dong Zhuo's fate in the future.
In the camp north of the city, the big tent of the Chinese army was at the point of saber rattling, and the angry Zhang Fei was desperately stopped by Gao Shun.
"Liu Bei, the order of my lord has been sent to you, as for whether to obey it or not, it is up to you to decide and leave. Oh, by the way, remember to take care of your dog next time, General Ben's knife hasn't seen blood for a long time, haha..."
Niu Fu left very arrogantly, and the atmosphere in the entire camp was extremely depressing.
'Bang', 'Click'
Zhang Fei broke free from Gao Shun's shackles, how could he endure such an insult when he was like thunder.
He pulled out the war knife at his waist and slashed it in the tent, venting the anger in his heart.
"Big brother, what do you think we should do? Now the whole army of 20,000 soldiers is waiting for your decision. ”
Gao Shun forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, looked at Liu Bei's angry cheeks, and expressed his worries.
Liu Bei forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, although he couldn't wait to slaughter Niu Fu, but he also knew how many catties and taels he had, and he exhaled deeply and mediated his mood.
"What else can I do, I can only do what I am told. This battle is very important to us, as long as we make contributions here, we can also have our own territory like Zhao Yang. ”
Gao Shun nodded, just looking at Zhang Fei who was venting, he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only comfort himself.
The entire Han army camp was slowly deploying troops, and the defenders on Guangzong City did not notice this.
It's just that they don't know that a storm in the city is coming.
Da Zhuang and the others returned to the east city wall the same way, and when they saw that there was no one around, they could climb up, but after they all went up, hundreds of people immediately rushed out of the dark areas on both sides to surround them.
"Second brother, what's so messy outside, did you find something?"
Zhang Jiao, who was sleeping, was woken up by the chaotic footsteps outside the house, and he struggled to move his body, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Big brother, it's nothing, it's just a normal change of guard, you can sleep again!"
Zhang Bao tucked the quilt for Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao stared straight at him, making him feel uneasy.
"Your eldest brother isn't dead yet? Are you hiding something from me now? ”
Zhang Bao was scolded by Zhang Jiao, and he had no choice but to tell the things of the past few days in detail.
Zhang Jiao didn't move at first, as if he was listening to something inconsequential.
When he heard it, his subordinates Kang Zeng, Yonglie and Chen Jing were in contact with the Han army outside the city behind his back.
This is the life of those hundreds of thousands of brothers, serving as their servant.
Zhang Jiao was painfully silent, he thought about it for a while, secretly mobilized five thousand yellow turban wrestlers, and immediately went to arrest Kang Zeng, Yonglie and Chen Jing.
For their subordinates, Zhang Jiao planned to identify the descendants of the three of them, and then disrupt all the rest and distribute them to the generals who were loyal to him.
Zhang Bao had already held his breath, and when he heard Zhang Jiao's order, he personally led people to arrest him.
Kang Zeng, Yong Lie and Chen Jing still don't know that their plan has been revealed, and at this moment, the three of them are discussing the details of surrender with their henchmen.
At the critical moment, Zhang Bao rushed in with people, and after a fight, except for Yong Lie, who was killed on the spot, the rest of the people were all arrested.
This quelling did not last long, which also let everyone know that Zhang Jiao was still alive, and Zhang Bao's performance before. It may be the temptation of the great sages and good teachers to them.
From then on, they never dared to have any dissent.
Zhang Jiao called Da Zhuang and a few people and asked them in detail about the details they discussed with outside the city.
Da Zhuang and the others didn't dare to hide it, and told everything they knew, and after Zhang Jiao mastered all the details, he asked Da Zhuang and the others to be temporarily detained.
He and Zhang Bao discussed for two hours, and decided to plan and deal a painful blow to the Han army.
At five o'clock, the east gate of Guangzong quietly opened, and tens of thousands of troops quietly left the city, along the root of the city wall, and quickly advanced eastward.
The Han army camp on the opposite side didn't even notice it at all, and the smooth operation made Zhang Niujiao, who led the team, feel incredible.
The Han army outside the south gate was also ready, and with Dong Zhuo's order, the army also quietly went to the east city gate.
Li Ru was suddenly in a trance, I don't know why, he was a little flustered in his heart, he wanted to remind Dong Zhuo, but seeing his excited appearance, Li Ru really didn't have the courage.
He called Li Dao and Guo Yan and reminded them that they must protect Dong Zhuo's safety.
Although the two of them didn't understand, they still nodded and agreed. Around Dong Zhuo, they arranged two thousand elites.
The army came to the east gate in disarray, looking at the tall city gate in front of them, like a giant monster in the dark, threatening to devour them at any time.
Suddenly, torches appeared on the castle tower, and they turned three times to the left and right, and then they heard a 'click' sound, and the city gate was slowly opened.
Dong Zhuo was so happy that he almost shouted, he hurriedly raised his horsewhip and wanted to slap the war horse, but he was taken away by the quick-eyed Niu Fu.
"Father-in-law, this was arranged by Li Ru's kid, and I also did it on orders, and..."
Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak, Niu Fu betrayed Li Ru very unjustly, he said it with a smile, but Dong Zhuo didn't understand.
Dong Zhuo didn't insist, he watched all the vanguard troops enter the city, and there was no movement in the city, until the east gate was replaced with the banner of the Han army, he was finally much more relieved.
He immediately let the follow-up army enter the city, and when he reached a place fifty meters away from the city gate, the city gate suddenly closed, and before everyone could react, a dense rain of arrows flew on the city wall.
The unsuspecting Han army was shot thousands of people on the spot.
At this time, fierce shouts of killing sounded in the city at this moment, and Li Ru immediately ordered to protect Dong Zhuo's retreat.
At this time, it was a little late to retreat, and countless torches were suddenly erected on the east and west sides, and Li Ru found that they were surrounded.
"Why is this happening? What the hell is going on? Yes... The old man is unwilling! ”
Dong Zhuo was hit by the sudden change, and his mentality was a little broken, and he didn't know where the ambushes on both sides came from.
Li Ru looked at the current situation, he was very angry in his heart, he guessed the location of these people out of the city.
For those who don't cooperate, he Li Ru will always remember.
