Chapter 43: Night Attack
The soldiers knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! ”
Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers in front of him silently, but Hou Cheng understood what Zhang Liao meant.
"Don't hurry up and get the real information! If there is a trace of concealment, you will be separated! ”
The soldier shuddered in fright, and then said.
"Humiliation is not being rushed out of the customs by the rebels...... It's a lowly ...... who runs by himself."
Only then did Zhang Liao move the knife in his hand a little farther away from the neck of his own soldier.
But half a day passed, and the soldiers did not continue.
Cheng Lian stepped forward with a kick, kicked the pro-soldier to the ground, and pointed at the pro-soldier.
"What else?"
The soldiers looked at Cheng Lian a little blankly.
"What else?"
"Okay, don't cry if you don't see the coffin, Tongguan has been lost, and you're still making up rumors here, do you think my knife is unfavorable?"
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly cried out for injustice.
"Don't dare to be lowly, don't dare to be lowly, everything that is said by the lowly position is true, but there is a lie, the general, please behead me."
"Then you mean that the Son of Heaven killed you alone?"
"That's true, if the general doesn't believe it, you can ask others, there is a false sentence, and you are willing to die."
After Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, and Hou Cheng glanced at each other, they hid the shock in their eyes, and ordered someone to suppress this personal soldier.
After the three of them separated and questioned dozens of people in a row, Zhang Liao and the three returned to Huayin City.
"It seems to be true, Wei Xu's personal soldiers did not lie, they had already learned from the general that the Son of Heaven had martial arts, but they didn't expect martial arts to be so high."
Zhang Liao sat on the main seat, his expression was very serious, but he couldn't understand why the Son of Heaven could be like this.
Hou Cheng also spoke.
"It's just that these soldiers all said that they had slashed the Son of Heaven, and if they were to follow what they said, the Son of Heaven would have been stabbed hundreds of times......"
While speaking, he was ashamed of Wei Xu and the others' subordinates, and they didn't want to take any credit for hurting the Son of Heaven.
According to them, the Son of Heaven may have become dumpling filling.
"But it is true that the Son of Heaven was injured, most of these deserters have seen the Son of Heaven injured, and the injuries are not light."
Cheng Lian continued.
"What are we going to do now? Is it to gather the remnants of the army and gather in the city to defend it, or to go out of the city to fight with the imperial army? ”
"Yes, there are only more than 3,000 people in the imperial army, and if we raise the strength of the whole army, we will be able to destroy it."
Seeing the two of them say this, Zhang Liao hurriedly said.
"No! The Son of Heaven is the enemy of ten thousand, that is, there are only 3,000 soldiers, and with the Son of Heaven as a spear, they can also penetrate the military formation, and then our morale will plummet, and we will be defeated by the Son of Heaven. ”
When the two heard Zhang Liao say this, they stopped.
The so-called 10,000 enemies do not mean that one person can fight 10,000 people, but the role that such people play on the battlefield.
When the two armies face each other, a fierce general directly cuts through the military formation, which is a great boost to the morale of the own side and a great blow to the morale of the enemy.
And when the two armies fight, unless the gap is too large, the success or failure is basically determined by morale.
A fierce general with 10,000 enemies plays a role in suppressing the enemy's morale to a minimum.
And now it seems that this son of heaven may be the enemy of ten thousand people.
And the three of them, Zhang Liao and the others glanced at each other, Zhang Liao's face was calm, but Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian lowered their heads in shame.
Although Zhang Liao is extremely strong, in terms of force value, he is not a 10,000-strong enemy, at most a half-step 10,000-person enemy, or a quasi-10,000-strong enemy.
Not to mention Cheng Lian and Hou Chengcheng, these two people together are food deliveries.
And the person who can be called the enemy of ten thousand people on their side is Lu Bu.
And once the force value reaches the level of 10,000 enemies, he is no longer a normal person.
For example, Guan Yu, the spear and long knife used by ordinary people are at most more than a dozen catties, and once there are more, they will be weak.
But the Qinglong Yanyue Knife used by Guan Yu weighed eighty-two catties.
This kind of big knife can be slashed by ordinary people at most, but Guan Yu can hold such a big knife and fight people for hundreds of rounds, which is no longer a human being at all, more fierce than an animal.
Zhang Liao thought for a while and then spoke.
"If this is not the case, the two of you will collect the scattered soldiers in the city, and I will lead 3,000 troops into Tongguan to raid at night."
"Since General Zhang knows that the Son of Heaven is the enemy of ten thousand people, why don't he bring more soldiers?"
Zhang Liao shook his head.
"Tongguan is already dangerous, even with 30,000 troops can not be launched, now the imperial army first fought with Song Xian, and then broke through Tongguan, now there is no spare strength, if you lead troops to attack it tonight, the imperial army will be chaotic! At that time, you only need to take advantage of the night to recapture Tongguan, and you can worry about it. ”
"What about the Son of Heaven?"
At this time, when Cheng asked the Son of Heaven what to do, it was no longer the tone of disposing of the Son of Heaven at will, but asking the Son of Heaven to be so brave, what would Zhang Liao do if he met him.
"Don't worry, the Son of Heaven has been injured in a series of bloody battles, even if he is an enemy of ten thousand people, what can he do in this chaotic army?"
There is no problem with Zhang Liao's strategy, and anyone who leads the troops here will be as Zhang Liao said, the army will first fight with Song Xian in one day, and then run all the way to Tongguan, which will definitely end up exhausted.
In addition, the main general is injured, once this is attacked by someone, defeat is the only end.
Zhang Liao glanced at the sky and found that it was already very late, and it was already past the time of the day.
"Without further ado, the whole army will set off, if I don't return at noon, the two generals will only strengthen the city defenses, and don't care about me anymore."
After Zhang Liao gave some instructions to the two, he left with his troops.
Tongguan is more than 30 miles away from Huayin, although it is a mountain road, but if you are in a hurry, it will arrive in two hours, even if you are not in a hurry to march, you can reach it in three hours at most.
When you arrive at Tongguan, it is also the time of the child or the time of the ugly.
At this time, when people are sleeping deeply, there is a slight sound, and they will not notice it.
The army walked towards Tongguan with torches, looking like a fiery dragon.
Zhang Liao was at the front of the army, holding a long knife in his hand.
Zhang Liao swung his long knife forward, and the army slowly moved forward.
At this time, Lin Mu was celebrating with everyone in Tongguan.
"Your Majesty is mighty, you enter the customs alone, you are not a minister, and the Han is prosperous!"
Hua Xiong's words were full of excitement.
couldn't help but remind Hua Xiong of the first time he met Lin Mu, and that kneeling was really cost-effective.
Even if Lin Mu is not the Son of Heaven, with this martial art, it is enough to defeat him.
What's more, Lin Mu is still the Son of Heaven, not to mention the rest of the martial arts, the Han family will definitely not decline in a short period of time.
You just need to do your own thing, and what high-ranking officials are not at your fingertips at that time?
Isn't this more cost-effective than being a general with Dong Zhuo at the beginning?
