Chapter 180 ?? Night Attack
"Dongdongdongdongdong" With the sound of drums, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao fought, and the light of swords flashed, and the sound of weapons colliding was like thunder, and the two killed the world and the earth.
Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao were concentrating on fighting for life and death. However, the people in the city were extremely nervous and did not dare to speak out.
The soldiers of Zhang Liao's army were stunned. Their family knew their own affairs. Although Zhang Liao was not famous, he was very brave. Don't you know Zhang Liao's soldiers?
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang, was so powerful that he would fight their generals to death without losing the upper hand.
The soldiers couldn't help but sweat for Zhang Liao in their hearts.
Not to mention Yuan Shu in the city, his heart was about to burst out from his throat. If Huang Zhong was defeated, there would be only one general left in the city.
Moreover, if the two generals lose one after another, their morale will inevitably collapse. Most of the people in his city are recruits. Once they collapse, they will lose all the money.
Yuan Shu had a plan in his mind. If Huang Zhong died in battle, he would run away immediately.
The battle under the city continued. But over time, Huang Zhong still gained the upper hand. Huang Zhong was at the peak of his life and his sword skills were proficient enough.
Zhang Liao was still young and was in the rising period. As he fought, he was at a disadvantage.
"I'm not the opponent of this guy." Zhang Liao was very angry. Since his debut, no one except Lu Bu was convinced. As a result, he fought against Dian Wei outside Luoyang City and was at a disadvantage.
Today in Nanyang, I encountered Huang Zhong again. I was at a disadvantage. I could only cut some miscellaneous hairs outside the Sishui Pass. It was really unlucky.
Zhang Liao is not an unrestrained person. Since that's the case, why fight more? After he made a decision in his heart, he snatched his sword and left.
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment. This guy was so young, but he was really decisive when he ran away. Zhang Liao had already run away very far after this stunned skill.
Huang Zhong judged that he would not be able to catch up with the horse. Without any hesitation, he immediately took out his big bow, bent his bow and took the arrow in one go, intending to shoot an arrow behind him.
With a "dong", the bowstring was shaking, and a black arrow rushed towards Zhang Liao at an extremely fast speed.
Huang Zhong's big bow is not an ordinary bow, but a family treasure. If he shoots Zhang Liao, even if there is armor blocking it, he will most likely die.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao was also smart and looked back frequently. When he saw Huang Zhong bent his bow and shoot arrows, he immediately dodged. However, the arrow also rubbed against Zhang Liao's left arm and roared past.
Zhang Liao only felt the scorching pain in his left arm, but he did not dare to neglect it. He rode his horse back to his own formation.
After Huang Zhong opened the bow, he felt a little regretful when he saw Zhang Liao walking away. Then he put away his big bow and pulled his horse toward the city gate.
"General Huang is mighty!!!"
"General Huang is mighty!!!"
When the soldiers of Yuan Shu army saw Huang Zhong win, they were immediately excited. Without being stingy, they exerted cheers like tsunamis.
On the other hand, the soldiers on Zhang Liao were a little silent. But soon the soldiers were excited. After all, victory or defeat was common in military affairs.
Moreover, Zhang Liao led his troops well. Even if Zhang Liao died in battle, his soldiers would probably not collapse.
"General!!" Some personal soldiers rode out and surrounded Zhang Liao and returned to the formation. Then they immediately helped Zhang Liao off his war horse, untied his armor, and applied medicine to Zhang Liao.
"The crossbowman is wearing the arrows. There are new recruits in Luyang City, so don't be afraid of them. If you come ten thousand, you can kill them." Zhang Liao sat on the ground and was bandaged by his personal soldiers, and ordered loudly.
"No." Several military officers under Zhang Liao's command made a promise and immediately organized soldiers to prepare for a fight.
However, Huang Zhong did not pursue him, but ordered his soldiers to return to the city.
"Hahahaha. Han Sheng is such a brave general. Come on, drink this glass." Yuan Shu had been waiting in the city for a long time, and immediately took a glass of good wine from the soldiers next to him and handed it to Huang Zhong.
"Thank you lord." Huang Zhong thanked him, drank the wine all over, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
He wasted half his life before he obtained the position of a lieutenant under Yuan Shu and became a general in charge of the army.
Although I didn’t win the battle with Zhang Liao just now, I was also very happy.
"This is just the beginning. I, Huang Zhong, will be famous all over the world sooner or later." A flame burning in Huang Zhong's heart.
Not to mention Huang Zhong at this moment, even the white-haired Huang Zhong in history was extremely loyal and brave. He followed Liu Bei into Yizhou, killed Xiahou Yuan in one battle, and laid the foundation for Shu Kingdom.
After Yuan Shu and Huang Zhong drank the wine, they asked cordially: "Hansheng, how can we fight afterwards?"
Huang Zhong said without hesitation: "Lord. Dong Zhuo's main force is confronting General Sun at the three gates of Taigu. This crew must be alone and has no foreign aid. Now we have won for a while and our morale is greatly boosted."
"【The military strategy says: Victory and then defend, it is as solid as a golden soup]. If we are happy to defend the city, we can stand in an invincible place. Why not do it?"
"Well. Han Sheng's words are reasonable." Yuan Shu actually planned to let Huang Zhong take advantage of the situation to lead his troops to fight, but after hearing what Huang Zhong said, he gave up this idea and nodded.
Afterwards, Yuan Shu ordered to defend the city. He also kept Huang Zhong, guarded the East City Gate, and handed over all the matters to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was not vague and set up shifts to defend the city strictly. He also ordered his soldiers to pile up the city guarding equipment on the city and actively resisted.
On the other side.
Zhang Xiu led Dian Wei, Chen Gong and others, as well as four thousand elite soldiers to carry the baggage, food and grass, and walked forward without any rush or slowness.
The news of Zhang Liao's defeat was learned by Zhang Xiu as the messenger was found out.
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, very surprised. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong surrendered to Yuan Shu. But he was soon not surprised.
The general direction of the world situation is still similar to history. However, in terms of details, it has been beyond recognition.
How many civil and military officials have been gathered under his command?
He punished Liu Biao's territory in Jingzhou.
It is not uncommon for anything to happen. And this is not a bad thing. If Huang Zhong can be defeated here, wouldn’t he have another general?
"Send Zhang Liao to line up and guard the battles, and don't fight in a hurry." Zhang Xiu said to the messenger without hesitation.
"No." The messenger replied, and immediately rode his horse to send the order.
"Appoint the soldiers to speed up their journey, meet with Zhang Liao, and set up camp." Then, Zhang Xiu ordered again.
"promise."
With Zhang Xiu's order, the speed of the four thousand elite soldiers increased by more than one level and rushed to Luyang City.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao met. Naturally, there were troops waiting to be responsible for camping. Zhang Xiu rushed out alone to ask about Zhang Liao's injuries.
"Wen Yuan. How was his injury?" Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted and asked with concern.
Zhang Xiu is a warm man, but he has not changed.
Zhang Liao was also displaced. He first followed General He Jin, later joined Ding Yuan, then Lü Bu, and finally surrendered to Zhang Xiu.
There was no lord who was so concerned about him. Zhang Liao was moved, but ashamed. He did not talk about his injuries, but lowered his head and said, "Han Shouhou. As a pioneer, I was defeated and lost my morale. Please punish me."
"Wen Yuanyan is serious. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. How can one punish the general if he loses a little?" Zhang Xiu comforted him first, and then insisted on inquiring about Zhang Liao's injuries.
When he learned that Zhang Liao was just scratching, he felt relieved.
Then he asked Zhang Liao to go down to rest and came to the newly established central army tent with Chen Gong and Dian Wei.
Zhang Xiu sat in the position of commander with a big golden sword, and rarely showed a solemn look. He looked up at Chen Gong and said, "Public Terrace. Although Yuan Shu is under his command, Huang Zhong is not simple. Today he defeated Wen Yuan again, and the morale in the city is greatly boosted. Military tactics are clouded. After victory, defending, and defending will be solid. We do not have heavy siege equipment, and I am afraid that we will not be able to break the city in a short while."
"I have two strategies for the superiors and the inferiors." Chen Gong seemed to have known that Zhang Xiu had said this and calmly bowed.
"Oh. Let's talk about it quickly on the official platform." Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he leaned over and asked. It was finally time to use the counselor.
"The best strategy is to surround the points and attack the aid. Luyang is a big city, and it has accumulated a lot of food and grass. Yuan Shu is in the city again. After Sun Jian learned about it, he would definitely gather five or six thousand troops to come to rescue him."
"But Sun Jian has been defeated for a while, and I am afraid he will not dare to fight with us. He will inevitably order the generals of the army, Duobu, to inquire about the situation. He will mainly enter the city to defend. The Nanyang Plain is flat and there is no place to ambush. This strategy may not be successful."
Chen Gong Zhenxiu said.
"Yeah." Zhang Xiu nodded, agreeing very much. The surrounding point is also based on skills. One look at the terrain and the other look at the leading generals.
"What about the best strategy?" Zhang Xiu asked immediately.
Chen Gong became more and more calm and said with a smile: "As Han Shouhou said, Huang Zhong in the city is a powerful character. The military strategy is to win first and then defend, which is as solid as a golden soup. They must defend the city and think they have a plan. It is better for us to attack the city overnight and be surprised."
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly, "What a surprise. The office is really a brilliant plan."
Then, Zhang Xiu stood up, walked back and forth with his hands on his back, and made a thoughtful look. Soon after, Zhang Xiu turned around and said to Dian Wei: "Brother. I will make you the governor of the city. There are only 10,000 soldiers in the city, all new recruits. Huang Zhong only has one person, so he will definitely guard the east of the city. You will lead three thousand troops to the south of the city and quietly arrive at the south of the city and clamor to attack the city."
This matter is very dangerous. After all, there is no eyebrow in swords and guns.
When a quick battle is needed, a general must be used. Logically speaking, Zhang Liao should be allowed to lead the troops, and Dian Wei can only be considered a general of guard and has no experience in leading troops to fight.
But Zhang Liao was already injured, so Dian Wei could only go on.
"No." Dian Wei was of course a brave man. He responded with a loud promise without hesitation.
Zhang Xiu nodded and asked Dian Wei to go down and rest first, and wait for the energy to be reborn tonight.
After Dian Wei went down, only Zhang Xiu was left. Despite the journey for several days, Zhang Xiu still had to be energetic. He first let Chen Gong, whose butt hurt, go down to rest. Then he turned over and led his personal soldiers to patrol the battle formation, and monitored the city of Luyang.
