Chapter 319: The trapped camp charges again (two in one)
Under the gaze of many people on the Nanzheng City Wall, a narrow place appeared in front of these Guanzhong soldiers pushing that strange thing.
Looking at these soldiers from the top of Nanzheng City, I felt that these people would take a detour and enter the camp of the traitor Liu Cheng from other places.
Unexpectedly, these people transporting a large amount of food and grass headed directly towards that narrow place.
The accident that the people above Nanzheng Pass expected did not happen.
These people who were transporting a lot of food and grass pushed the strange things and passed through the narrow place easily!
Not even a moment's pause!
It looks like walking on ordinary flat ground...
The scene that happened before their eyes immediately left many Hanzhong people speechless.
Zhang Lu, who just said with great certainty that this was a deception used by Liu Cheng, was also unable to say a word...
Look at the strange tool that carries a large amount of stuff and passes through narrow places as if it were walking on flat ground.
He could no longer tell that this was a deception used by Liu Cheng...
A strange tool with this kind of performance can really transport a large amount of grain and grass through the rugged and difficult Shu roads!
Zhang Lu held the city wall with his hands and stood here looking at it for nearly an hour.
Look at the steady stream of people, using the one-wheeled tool that I have never seen before, to continuously transport a large amount of food and grass to Liu Cheng's camp.
Watching Liu Cheng's camp storing grain and grass fill up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And gradually exceed the previous scale...
Looking at this, some of the persistence in Zhang Lu's heart was collapsing.
Some hopes are being shattered...
He climbed down the city wall of Nanzheng Pass, and his whole body seemed very powerless...
…
"Master, what should we do now?"
In the Prefecture of Nanzheng City, Zhang Lu, the Prefect of Hanzhong, looked at Yang Song and said weakly.
"Really, if it really doesn't work, I'll just surrender..."
Zhang Lu hesitated for a while and then said this.
The reinforcements from Jiameng Pass and Jiange have been slow to arrive.
Liu Cheng's troops and horses, which were scattered throughout Hanzhong, are now returning one after another.
I don't know what kind of magical things came out of Liu Cheng's place.
He was actually able to overcome the difficulties of the Shu Road and transport a large amount of grain and grass from Guanzhong...
This series of events came one after another, which wiped away many things in Zhang Lu's heart.
Hearing Zhang Lu's words of surrender, Yang Song immediately became anxious.
How can you surrender?
It’s not good at all for you to surrender now!
You surrendered, how can I get great credit by selling you?!
Yang Song, whose forehead was so anxious that he was sweating a little, quickly said:
“Prefect, you must not surrender!
The prefect has been demoted. Depending on the ruthlessness of Thief Dong, whether the prefect can still take the position of prefect in the future is a trivial matter.
Whether you can survive or not is the big deal!
…
I have a plan that may be able to solve the prefect’s urgent need!”
What Yang Song said gave Zhang Lu some confidence.
He sat up straight, looked at Yang Song, and asked solemnly: "I would like to hear the master's clever plan!
If the chief secretary could find a way out of such a desperate situation.
In the future, the Yang family in Hanzhong will definitely be more prosperous than it is now!
This is what I, Zhang Lu, said!"
Hearing this, Yang Song saluted Zhang Lu and then said:
"The reason why the prefect is thinking of surrendering now is that Liu Chengkede was able to use some means to continuously transport a large amount of grain and grass!
In this case...
Then why didn't the prefect burn the grain and grass?
As long as Liu Cheng's food and grass are burned, Liu Cheng's army will be in chaos!
And the soldiers and horses of Jiameng Pass and Xichuan Pass of Jianmen Pass, who have been pushing back and forth, will definitely send troops quickly after learning the news!
Seize this great opportunity and join forces with us to eradicate Liu Cheng's troops...
In this way, Liu Cheng's army will be defeated!"
Yang Song's words made Zhang Lu's eyes light up uncontrollably.
After doing this for a while, he looked at Yang Song and said slowly: "This Liu Cheng must be very careful about his food and grass. It is not easy to burn it!"
Yang Song nodded and said: "It is indeed not easy.
But this is the only chance for a comeback at the moment.
If I miss this opportunity, my subordinates will really be powerless..."
Hearing Yang Song say this, Zhang Lu laughed.
After laughing, he slapped the table hard and said loudly:
"I, Zhang Lu, have been able to reach this step step by step. Along the way, I have encountered many times when I needed to work hard!
Before there was no reason, I could muster up the courage to fight for my life, but now that I have become a prefect, I can't!
People, at some point, always have to fight hard!"
As he said this, he pressed his hand on the table and stood up directly.
He began to summon the generals to discuss sending troops to burn Liu Cheng's grain and grass...
…
"Prefect, let me take care of the matter of leading the troops out to burn the grain and fodder!
You have a distinguished status, just stay in the city and hold the battle!
If, if there is really a disagreement, if you stay in Nanzheng City, you might as well have a way out and do something else!"
After understanding what Zhang Lu was planning to do, a loyal general under Zhang Lu said this.
Zhang Lu shook his head: "No, I must personally lead the troops for this matter!
Our morale is already low.
At such a critical moment, if I stayed in Nanzheng City, I'm afraid my morale would be even lower.
The odds of winning are even slimmer!
Now, it’s time to fight hard, and I must lead the team myself!”
After that, he reached out and patted the general on the shoulder and said: "I understand what you mean!
But this is really our only chance!
If I fail this time, even if I am in the city, I will not have any good ideas in the future..."
Hearing Zhang Lu say this, his generals moved their mouths, but in the end, no words came out...
After deciding on the matter, Zhang Lu changed his previous hesitant attitude.
The whole person's condition looks different.
Time passed by little by little, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses did not move rashly and continued to besiege but not attack.
Nanzheng City, which had quietly organized its troops and horses, was still quiet at this time.
As always.
In Liu Cheng's camp, Liu Cheng dealt with affairs for a while and then went to sleep.
He didn't take off his armor.
Just wear the armor and sleep like this.
Not only him, but everyone in his camp did not take off their clothes and armor...
Especially those soldiers and generals who were quietly assigned tasks, were even more alert.
Recently, Liu Chengdu was letting his men occupy Hanzhong while leading his troops to fish here.
As a result, I don’t know if his fishing skills are not good enough or if his bait is not good enough.
Not only did we not catch the two big fish at Jiange and Jiameng Pass, we also didn't catch the small fish Zhang Lu, who was very close at hand.
Until now, it has been the Air Force.
This feeling is not very good for Liu Cheng.
So, after a period of time in the Air Force, Liu Cheng increased the bait this time!
It may not have much effect on two big fish.
However, for this little fish, there is a fatal temptation!
Liu Cheng didn't believe that this little fish, which had been forced to the point of having no way out, could endure it!
After thinking about this for a while, Liu Cheng quickly fell into a dream.
This is a skill developed over a long period of time in the military.
As long as you think about it, you can quickly enter your dream.
Of course, this kind of sleep is a kind of sleep with strong alertness...
The night was quiet, passing by bit by bit.
Not even the slightest bit different.
In Liu Cheng's handsome tent, Liu Cheng, who was sleeping in his armor, was sleeping peacefully.
I can't see any tension or anxiety...
At this time, many people in Nanzheng City, which also seemed extremely quiet, were ready.
Zhang Lu was fully clothed, holding a spear, and said a lot of encouraging words to his subordinates.
However, even so, this tension has not been eliminated.
Even as time goes by, the night deepens and becomes more and more intense...
"Shaking~..."
The second half of the night is when people are most likely to feel sleepy.
It was at this moment that the gate of Nanzheng City, which had been closed tightly, was slowly opened after making a slight movement.
"Prefect, just fight with peace of mind. Your subordinates will definitely guard the city and not let a single thief in!"
Yang Song, who changed his usual scribe's attire and put on armor, said this to Zhang Lu.
Hearing this, Zhang Lu reached out and patted Yang Song on the shoulder, and said calmly: "With the words of the master, I feel relieved!"
Saying this, he gave orders in a low voice, and each of his men held a copper coin in his mouth and headed out of the city gate.
After doing this for a while, Zhang Lu also led his horse, which was muzzled and its hooves wrapped, and went out.
Yang Song led many people and stood here to see each other off in person.
After waiting for a long time, when everyone who needed to go out had finished going out, he ordered the city gate to be closed and bolted.
It is used to prevent Liu Cheng's thieves from rushing over during the chaos...
In the dark of night, a large number of soldiers and horses gathered outside Nanzheng City.
Hidden in darkness.
We walked cautiously and nervously towards Liu Cheng's camp...
Close, close.
They are closer to the camp where Liu Cheng's troops and horses have been set up!
While Zhang Lu was waiting nervously, the agile vanguard quietly made a hole in Liu Cheng's camp.
Soldiers and horses began to enter.
After almost a thousand people entered the camp, a warning voice suddenly sounded inside the camp.
"Who?!"
Zhang Lu knew that there was no need to hide anymore and act quietly!
In fact, Zhang Lu felt that it was beyond his expectation that it could not be discovered until this time.
Being able to move to this point quietly, their actions this time are basically stable!
Burning Liu Cheng's food and grass and achieving a comeback are just around the corner!
At that moment, Zhang Lu shouted loudly: "Follow me! Defeat the enemy tonight!"
Following his loud shout, the soldiers and horses who came out with him stopped being cautious and rushed towards the breached Liu Cheng camp!
Holding something to ignite the fire...
After this happened for a while, Zhang Lu, armed with a spear and mounted on his horse, also rushed into Liu Cheng's camp.
After rushing inside for a while, Zhang Lu realized that something was not right!
It is said that at this time, the thief Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses had already discovered his own soldiers and horses.
At this time, with the continuous actions of himself and others, chaos should have broken out in Liu Cheng's camp!
A lot of people rushed out in a panic to intercept and attack their own troops. This is what should happen!
But now, it didn't happen at all!
When Zhang Lu realized this, he suddenly panicked!
My whole heart is sinking!
"The thieves have an ambush! Retreat quickly!"
He shouted loudly, then turned the horse's head and was about to go back.
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz~!"
It was at this time that a dense buzzing sound suddenly sounded in Liu Cheng's camp in the darkness!
This is the sound of a bowstring trembling!
Amidst the trembling of countless bow strings, the feathers and arrows were like a dense rain curtain, directly facing Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses, covering them!
The purpose of Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses this time was to burn the food and grass in Liu Cheng's camp.
Therefore, everyone carries more fire starters and less shields.
At this time, they were suddenly attacked and a large number of feather arrows fell, and these people suffered a big loss!
For a while, screams could not be heard.
Many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows!
The sudden rain of arrows and the screams of the surrounding comrades immediately broke the courage of the Hanzhong soldiers who had just successfully entered Liu Cheng's camp!
It suddenly became chaotic.
Without Zhang Lu's instructions, these Hanzhong soldiers began to turn their heads and gallop towards the back.
However, there were also some generals who were fierce in their hearts and rushed to the front. When they saw that they and others had fallen into the trap, they did not choose to retreat.
Instead, he led his soldiers and horses and continued to charge forward.
Prepare to die and live again!
According to the original plan, continue to charge towards the food storage place in Liu Cheng's camp, preparing to set it on fire!
He jumped forward for a short distance without seeing any obstruction. The person who led the troops and horses couldn't help but feel overjoyed, thinking that this time he had made the right bet!
Immediately, he quickened his pace, led the soldiers and horses, and rushed forward at a faster speed!
It was at this moment that a loud shout suddenly sounded in the darkness directly ahead!
"Trapped in camp! Charge with me!"
After the loud shouting, everything suddenly became different.
Even at this time, the battlefield was very chaotic. The Hanzhong soldiers who were leading the troops rushing deeper into Liu Cheng's camp also heard some different sounds.
Under the reflection of some remaining fire, one can see a wall pushing towards him and others...
