Chapter 794: The Zhang Family Brothers Are in the Plan
Chapter 794: The Zhang brothers fell into a trap
Xiaopei City Head.
Zhang Liao said to Gao Shun: "Cao's army failed to attack the city during the day and will definitely change its attack method tomorrow. As a result, the weak spot in the southeast corner of the city wall may not be able to escape the intensive bombardment of Cao's trebuchets. Once the city wall collapses, Cao's infantry will swarm through the gap."
If we enter, it will be difficult for our army to resist."
(Educate yourself, about the trebuchet: The ancient Chinese trebuchet first appeared in the Warring States Period. It was a lever-type trebuchet. The proximal end of the lever arm was pulled by manpower to throw the boulder placed at the far end of the lever. This type of trebuchet
The trebuchet is small in size, simple in structure, light in weight, easy to transport and easy to assemble. The trebuchet shown in this book is of this type. There is also a winch-type trebuchet. The counterweight trebuchet first uses the winch to lift several tons of weight.
The counterweight is raised, and then the free fall of the counterweight is used to drive the swing arm to throw the boulder. This type of trebuchet has a complex structure, weighs up to ten tons, and is extremely difficult to transport. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Ye improved the Thunderbolt Car, and
Catapults in the popular Western sense all fall into this category.)
Gao Shun pointed at the continuous fire outside the city and said calmly: "The general is very worried. I am afraid that Cao Jun has already concentrated his trebuchets on the southeast corner."
"Really?" Zhang Liao looked in the direction of Gao Shun's finger, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said in a concentrated voice: "It seems that tomorrow's battle will be the final decisive battle, General Gao Shun..."
"There is no need to say anything." Gao Shun interrupted Zhang Liao and said calmly: "People are in the city, people are dead and the city is trapped, that's all!"
"Forget it!" Zhang Liao looked deeply at Gao Shun, then waved his hand and said loudly: "Bring me some wine, I want to have a drink with General Gao Shun."
A soldier had already climbed up to the city tower with a large jar of wine. Zhang Liao took the jar with one hand, opened the mud seal, raised his neck, and drank three big mouthfuls of wine before wiping his mouth contentedly.
He picked up the wine stains on the sides, held the mouth of the jar with his hand, handed the jar to Gao Shun, and said loudly: "General Gao Shun, please!"
Taking advantage of the darkness, Gao Shun didn't notice that Zhang Liao had already mixed a packet of powder into the wine when he handed over the wine jar. One of the personal guards around Zhang Liao was a bandit, and he usually did business without capital.
Gao Shun always had the drug in hand, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to come in handy at this time. Without doubting his presence, Gao Shun took the wine jar and drank a few swigs, then handed the wine jar back to Zhang Liao and said loudly: "It's so good! So good!"
Ha ha!"
Under the dark night, a strong wind blew by, blowing up Zhang Liao's messy hair and flying in the air. At this moment, Zhang Liao's expression looked particularly cold and solemn, and there was a cool calm between his brows.
Come on, a sad smile condensed on the corner of Zhang Liao's mouth.
"General Gao Shun, please bring a message to General Lu." Zhang Liao said calmly.
"Huh?" Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao in confusion.
"Zhang Liao is not good at leading troops, and he does not have the courage to do anything for a man. He cannot strategize like Mr. Chen Gong and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. He surrendered himself to General Lu. He has not made any achievements, but he is in a high position. He is really uneasy! Now!
General Lu is in trouble, so Zhang Liao has no choice but to kill himself in retribution, that's all." Zhang Liao still said calmly.
"Why did the general say this?" Gao Shun was stunned. Suddenly, his majestic body shook, and he said in shock: "Eh? My head feels so dizzy, this... this wine... this wine..."
"puff!"
Before Gao Shun finished speaking, he fell straight down.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang~~"
Amidst the harsh sound of metal friction, a dozen of Gao Shun's soldiers drew knives in their hands and surrounded Zhang Liao. One of the guards commanders even shouted loudly: "Zhang Liao! Do you want to rebel?
"
"Stop!" Zhang Liao glared and shouted loudly: "General Gao Shun was just drugged. He will wake up automatically after sleeping for a few hours. Before the enemy forces have formed a siege on the south gate, you can escort him quickly.
General Gao Shun evacuated overnight! Five hundred veterans trapped in the camp (300 were killed) also escorted General Gao to evacuate." More than a dozen soldiers were stunned and at a loss for a moment.
Zhang Liao saw that everyone was motionless, so he said sternly: "General Lu appointed me as the commander-in-chief of Xiaopei City's garrison before going on the expedition. Do you still dare to disobey the military order?"
Gao Shun's soldiers had no choice but to clasp their fists and accept the order: "Yes!"
"Huh?" Zhang Liao pressed his forehead, shook his body, pointed at the bodyguard beside him and said: "You...actually...actually...smoked...smoked...smoked...in my...my wine..."
As he spoke, he pressed his right hand to his own sword, but before he could pull out the sword, he fell to the ground.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang~~"
"I am Zhang Fan, the younger brother of Zhang Liao. How can a younger brother watch his brother die!" Zhang Fan stood up from beside him and said to everyone: "I will escort the two generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao out of the city as quickly as possible. There are people in Xiaopei City.
I, Zhang Fan, will stand alone until General Lu leads the army to come for reinforcements!"
"Follow your orders!" Gao Shun's personal soldier said with his fists clasped.
Xuhuang Camp in the west of Xiaopei City.
Niu Fu quickly stepped into the tent and reported loudly: "General Xu Huang, about four or five hundred cavalry defenders left the south gate at night. Do you want to send troops to pursue them?"
"Oh?" Xu Huang's expression changed, he thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, although Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian's reputation is not very good, it is already pitiful enough. Xiaopei City is about to be lost, and even
The whole of Xuzhou will also be lost, so let him go with these four or five hundred horses, and he will put the blame on others anyway."
"Hehe!" Niu Fu chuckled and said: "General Xu Huang, I heard that there are more than thirty people in Xiaopei City, including more than 100,000 women, and most of them are Japanese slaves and Ezo women.
I heard that the navy commanders under Zuo Aoran grabbed the land when they conquered various tribes on the Japanese island, but in the end, Lu Bu seized the land. I think there are quite a few beauties among them, hehe!"
"Oh, really?" Cao Ren's two generals, Cao Yong and Pan Sui, were both lustful ghosts. When they heard this, they immediately became energetic, and their eyes immediately shone and they said, "Are you serious?"
Niu Fu replied: "It's absolutely true. When the time comes, the two generals should not only care about their own pleasures, but also reward a few beauties to make the last general happy, hehe!!!"
Cao Yong chuckled and said: "Don't worry, as long as my general is happy, you, Niu Fu, will be indispensable."
"Of course it's easy to say!" Pan Sui also said.
Niu Fu said happily: "Thank you two generals."
Cao Yong thought for a while and said: "Huh? So, after the city is broken, we have to rush into the city. If we enter the city late, I'm afraid others will get there first!"
"Well, tell me brothers, after entering the city, don't rush to grab the food, grass and baggage in Xiaopei City. First, rob me of all the women in the city. It's best not to leave any behind." Pan Sui also said.
Niu Fu echoed from the side: "The two generals are so wise!"
"Hahaha! Easy to say, easy to say!" Cao Yong and Pan Sui laughed.
"Hmph!" Xu Huang snorted heavily and said, "Okay! I didn't expect General Cao Ren to teach you this. We are the army, what are you doing like bandits or bandits?"
"Since General Xu doesn't like women, there is no need to add this battle. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there are more generals or fewer generals!" Cao Yong said arrogantly.
Pan Sui also smiled and said: "That's right! That's right!"
"Huh! I'm not feeling well, so General Niu can take over my duties temporarily!" Xu Huang said as he strode outside the tent.
As soon as Xu Huang left, Xia Houcun, who was also Cao Ren's general, said disdainfully: "Huh! How could a self-proclaimed noble person be in the position he is now if he did not rely on Prime Minister Cao's favor?!"
"Oh! Let's talk about us! Let's drink! Why bother with him!" Cao Yong said.
Pan Sui smiled and said: "That's right! That's right!"
"Come! I, Niu Fu, toast the three generals!" Niu Fu raised his glass.
"Okay!" Cao Yong raised his glass and said, "General Niu Fu is the easiest to make friends with!"
