Yu Zhang, Chaisang.

Xu Sheng leaned on the couch in the center of the hall, flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand, and whispered the contents of the book.

After a while, Xu Sheng put down the bamboo slip, frowned and asked, "Over there in Shuizhai, is there no news today?" ”

"Qi Ming Ting, there is no news from Shuizhai today!" The subordinate replied.

Xu Sheng is a native of Lang Xieju County, in the early years due to the war south of the Yangtze River in Wu County to live, when Sun Zeke Wu County, Xu Sheng put into the account to serve the Sun family, brave and brave in battle. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and Xu Sheng was appointed as the Sima of the other department, and concurrently served as the chief of Chaisang, resisting Huang Zu's attack.

"The water village may change!"

Xu Sheng vaguely sensed something bad in his heart, and said: "Pass the order, and order the soldiers in the city to tighten their vigilance and not be careless." ”

"How can Ming Court see it?" The subordinate asked.

Xu Sheng picked up his sword and said, "Jiangxia has been in turmoil for a long time, and I have already made an agreement with the king of Shuizhai Junhou to let him report the situation in Shuizhai every morning. Now that the report has passed, there is still no news of the scouts, and I am afraid that the water village has been attacked by Jiangxia thieves. ”

"Report!"

As soon as Xu Sheng's words fell, the Wu army scout gasped, trotted all the way into the hall, and said: "Qi Qi Beibu, the water village has been broken, and the sergeants in the village are being chased and killed by the thief army, and they are about to arrive under the city of our army, and our army will go out of the city to rescue, or." ”

Hearing this, Xu Sheng pressed his sword and left, and said anxiously: "Let's wait for me to go and have a look, don't easily put it into the city." ”

"No!"

At this time, outside the city of Chaisang, two teams of men and horses were entangled in front and back, one team fought and retreated, and the other team shouted to kill, constantly chasing the fugitive soldiers in front. The figures and voices of the two teams are constantly approaching Chaisang City.

"Mingjin, blow the trumpet, and inform the headquarters to face the battle!"

Upstairs in Chaisang City, Qin Song, who was in charge of guarding the north gate, said loudly.

The soldiers on duty signaled the enemy attack, and the soldiers who were originally resting under the city climbed the city tower one after another and waited for the battle.

Qin Song stood at the head of the city, and saw the front team of people and horses running away from afar, rushing straight to the bottom of the city. The men and horses pursuing in the rear were afraid of the soldiers of the city of Chaisang, and gave up after chasing for half a mile. But they didn't seem to be reconciled, and got slightly closer.

Taking advantage of this time period, the fleeing men and horses rushed to the city, and the chaotic army chattered and shouted chaotically: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

"We are soldiers of Shuizhai, and Shuizhai was taken by the Jiangxia thief army. We fought hard to get out, and asked my brother to open the door and let me in. ”

"Ergou, I'm here!"

Qin Song listened to the familiar Wu accent, looked down, and asked, "Where is Wang Junhou?" ”

"Wang Junhou died, and was shot to death by the Jiangxia thief army with a bow and crossbow."

Frowning, Qin Song asked, "What about Li Fang, Li Tunchang?" ”

The city was silent for a while, and a few more people replied: "Chief Li Tun has returned to Nanchang last month and is not in the water village." ”

Qin Song nodded slightly, Li Fang was not in Shuizhai, but he knew very well that this sentence was used by him to deceive them.

"Can I open the door?" The city began to shout again.

The soldiers on the city tower looked at Qin Song, but Qin Song was uncertain.

"Xu Beibu has arrived!"

Xu Sheng hurriedly walked to the city tower and asked, "How is Qin Baichang?" ”

Qin Song leaned sideways and gave up his position and said, "The defeated army under the city is normal, it should be a person from the water village." ”

Xu Sheng leaned on the city wall, looked down, and saw several people in front of the queue with gray faces, bloodstained bodies, and broken clothes and armor. It was evident that they had been after a terrible battle, and their voices were filled with impatience and fear.

After looking at it for a long time, Xu Sheng waved his hand and said, "This is the enemy, let go of the arrows!" ”

"This~"

Qin Song didn't dare to obey the order, and said, "How can other departments see it? ”

Seeing that Qin Song couldn't believe it, Xu Sheng pointed to a few sergeants in the middle of the queue under the city, and said: "These people are staring at the front row of soldiers from beginning to end, and they are vigilant about the surrounding arrangements, if the army is defeated, how can it be like this." And they have entered our city of Chaisang to take refuge, if the enemy pursues, they will be killed under the bow and crossbow of our army, why rush into the city. ”

"Let's look at the Jiangxia thieves who are chasing and killing, they stay outside the bow and crossbow, attack and don't attack, go and don't go, it should be suspicious."

Seeing that Qin Song still didn't believe it, Xu Sheng took a bow and arrow and aimed at the person he was pointing at.

"Ahh

The arrow burst out of the air, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, an arrow killed the Jiangxia sergeant hiding in the crowd.

Screams and roars rang out from downstairs.

"How can a general kill innocents indiscriminately."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Sheng shouted: "Thief, dare to deceive me and wait, and eat me again." ”

"Withdraw!"

Seeing this, the face of the Jiangxia sergeant hidden in the rout under the city tower changed greatly, knowing that his strategy was seen through by Xu Sheng, so he pulled his legs and ran back. And the soldiers who had surrendered in the water village knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy.

Xu Sheng threw the bow and arrow into Qin Song's hand and said with a smile: "Is it credible what Sheng Zhi said at the moment?" ”

To be honest, Xu Sheng didn't dare to be 100% sure, but the reactions of these people were enough to show that his guess was right.

"Other wise!" Qin Song said respectfully.

"Son, raise your bow and shoot it with me."

Qin Song led his subordinates to raise their bows and shoot, more than 100 arrows flew out of the city, and more than 30 Jiangxia soldiers who fled were nailed to the ground by arrows, screaming one after another, and many people fell to the ground. Only a few sergeants in the back row who were fast on their feet dodged the rain of arrows and fled back to the queue that chased and killed them and others. The soldiers of Shuizhai who knelt on the ground and begged to surrender were captured by Chaisang.

Five or six miles away, Jiangxia soldiers crawled among the dwarf trees and shrubs, equipped with strong armor and sharp blades, waiting for the time to strike.

Huang Jianzheng, who was waiting for the military report at the front, bragged to Huo Jun and said: "Zhong Miao is poor, wait to shoot it." Today, the soldiers of the Rainfall Village are mixed with the elite of our department, as long as Nachaisang opens the city gate and lets them in. At that time, the elite of the archery will quickly seize the city gate, and the rear soldiers can then enter the city. When the city gate belongs to us, Chaisang can go down! ”

When Huo Jun said that he had no strategy, Huang Jie also thought hard about a plan, that is, to use the rout army to deceive the city gate, and use it to seize Chaisang.

Of course, Huo Jun had nothing to do, after all, his purpose was also to conquer Chaisang. If Huang shoots to break through the city, you don't have to go out by yourself to make the soldiers suffer fewer casualties.

After speaking, Huang Jie walked to the high point and stood on tiptoe, quite anxious to understand what the result of his strategy was.

"How?" Huang Jian asked, "Then did Chen Junhou lead someone to chase him down to the city gate?" ”

"Back to the general, Chen Junhou stayed outside the bow and crossbow of the Chaisang defenders, and did not step forward." The squire replied.

Huang Jie stomped his foot and said, "Chen Junhou doesn't dare to step forward, how can he make the Chaisang defenders believe it." ”

The attendants didn't dare to answer, and they couldn't say that Chen Junhou didn't dare to step forward for fear of death.

"Bo Zhong must not be in a hurry, our troops broke through the Chaisang Water Village at night, and led the troops to Chaisang in the starry night, and the soldiers were tired. If it doesn't work, it's better to rest first and attack again tomorrow! Huo Jun persuaded.

Huang Jie turned his head to look at Huo Jun, secretly unhappy in his heart, and always felt that Huo Jun looked down on him.

After a while, several soldiers rushed back from the front and said, "General, our army's strategy was discovered by Xu Sheng, and more than 30 brothers were shot dead by Chaisang soldiers. ”

"What!" Huang Jie said in surprise: "I was recognized by Xu Sheng? ”

As he spoke, Huang Shot glanced at Huo Jun, but saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, whispering to Gao Xiang, Huo Du and others, as if talking about the failure of his strategy.

"Bastard!" Huang Jie's face turned red, and he said, "If it weren't for Chen Da's timidity, how could a certain strategy fail." ”

With an excuse, Huang Jie's face was not so stinky, he paced for a moment or two, and said angrily: "Order the soldiers to camp, and tomorrow a certain person will lead his troops to attack the city." ”

"General, do you need the cooperation of our army tomorrow?" Huo Du asked with his fists clenched.

Huang Zhao glanced at Huo Jun, saw that he was still chatting with Gao Xiang, and remembered that he had been kidnapped by him before he made a meritorious achievement, and if his plan failed today, he would be ridiculed by him. I was ashamed and annoyed in my heart, snorted coldly, and said, "No need, tomorrow you wait to defend the village, and a certain person will attack Chaisang." ”

"No!"

If Huo Jun knew Huang Jie's thoughts, but he couldn't say it, he and Gao Xiang were talking about the details of today's camping, not to mock Huang Jie. It can only be said that when you are embarrassed, you can always feel that someone is laughing at you behind your back.
