It was night, and a few clouds drifted in from nowhere, covering up the bright moon.
The earth was dark, and there was an eerie silence. Jiang Ji suddenly reined in his horse, raised his eyes and looked ahead...
"General, why did you stop?"
A follower immediately stepped forward, looked at Jiang Ji with confusion and asked.
"Do you feel weird?"
"eccentric?"
Jiang Jiu squinted his eyes, pointed forward, and whispered: "I vaguely remember that there is a river depression ahead. It was not late at night, and the cicadas were very dense. But why is it so quiet tonight? It's like a dead place... Send someone immediately
Go over and check out the situation."
He immediately sent out a group of cavalry and headed towards the river valley in the distance.
He whispered: "General, aren't you looking for someone? I've been walking all this way, but there is no trace of the scout. What's going on?"
People who can serve as scouts are definitely not ordinary soldiers. Suddenly disappearing, there are only two possibilities...one is to escape, the other is...Jiang Jiong's heart suddenly thumped, and he subconsciously clenched his spear. He also
He was a little nervous! What Deng Ai said to him before setting off came to mind. Deng Ai felt that Liu Bei was risking the world's disapproval by using troops at this time. A small Jiyang, logically
It is said that it is impossible for him to mobilize troops like this, and he may have a bigger conspiracy...
What is this plot?
Deng Ai didn't say anything!
At that time, Jiang Ji didn't take it seriously. What kind of knowledge could you, a child, have?
But now that I think about it carefully, I feel that Deng Ai's words are not unreasonable. In this world, it does not mean that if you have read military books and gained experience, you will definitely become a master of military art. I think back then, Bai Qi started as a soldier in the army and grew up.
In the first battle, Zhao Kuo killed the 700,000-strong army of Zhao State. However, Zhao Kuo was well-read in military science and had no power to fight back when facing Bai Qi. Sometimes, you have to believe in the existence of "genius". Although Deng Ai was only young
He was ten years old, but his talent in military arts had already been revealed at an early age, which made Cao Peng admire him.
Could it be possible that that boy really got it right?
At this moment, the group of scouts approaching the river depression suddenly let out a series of screams.
Dozens of sharp arrows flew out from the reeds in the river depression, killing the scouts on the spot. At the same time, bursts of sound suddenly came from all directions. In the dark night, a group of people seemed to appear out of thin air, coming from both sides.
They swarmed in and surrounded Jiang Ji and others.
"No, enemy attack!"
Jiang Ji was so excited that he shuddered and suddenly shouted, "Breakout!"
At this time, he must not be entangled here any longer, so he turned his horse and left.
But it's too late!
The enemy troops swarmed up and killed Jiang Jiong and others by surprise. In the blink of an eye, arrows came like rain. A dozen soldiers were unprepared, including men and horses, and were suddenly shot into hedgehogs.
Same, he fell into a pool of blood. Jiang Ji waved his spear and struck the eagle feather. While resisting the arrows coming from all directions, he shouted loudly, calling for his troops to break out. However, it was too late.
In the dark night, a general rushed in like lightning.
There is a black iron horse under the crotch, and in the palm is a snake spear that is eight feet long.
Jiang Jiu was about to rush to the enemy's formation, but when he saw the enemy general, he let out a thunderous roar: "Zhang Fei from Yan has done it again, and the traitor general has not yet been crowned!"
It was too late, but soon Tie Hualiu had arrived in front of Jiang Ji.
The eight-foot-long snake lance struck and trembled, and the giant python turned over with a move, carrying a streak of light, whistling and stabbing Jiang Jiong.
Jiang Jiu raised his gun to block, only to hear a clang sound, and the spears and spears clashed. The huge force from the eight-foot-long snake spear made Jiang Jiu's mouth burst open, and blood dripped. Jiang Jiu couldn't help but screamed, and hurriedly
He withdrew his gun and tried to dodge. But the opponent's speed was really fast, like lightning. Before Jiang Ji could change his move, the Zhangba Snake Spear suddenly pressed down, and then flipped upwards...
The gun shaft, which was as thick as a baby's arm, actually showed a strange arc in the enemy general's hand, and Jiang Jiong's big gun exploded with a clang.
Then, Zhangba's snake spear spear pierced into Jiang Ji's chest with a bang.
Although he was protected by armor, the huge force tore the armor leaves apart and penetrated into his chest.
In just one round, Jiang Jiong was picked off his horse by his opponent. Zhang Fei closed his hands on the yin and yang handles, struck the edge of the spear with a shake, and threw Jiang Jiong's body away.
At the same time, the soldiers around Jiang Ji frantically broke out in all directions.
However, Liu Bei's army was well prepared. Seeing Cao's army approaching, the archers retreated one after another. The spearmen rushed forward, formed a spear formation, and assassinated the approaching Cao's army in front of the formation. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred soldiers were killed.
They were slaughtered by Zhang Fei's troops.
Zhang Fei frowned as he looked at the corpses everywhere, and his thick eyebrows twisted together involuntarily.
He was ordered to arrive outside Wuyin City before nightfall and hid in a river valley outside the city. Unexpectedly, Wuyin's inspections were extremely strict and he was discovered by a group of scouts. In desperation, Zhang Fei had no choice but to kill those scouts.
, so as not to alert the snake. Who would have expected that Wuyin would actually send more than a hundred people because of these dozen scouts. After killing more than a dozen scouts, he could still be fooled. But when more than a hundred people disappeared suddenly, this would inevitably happen.
Arousing Wuyin's vigilance. Xunchen's plan to sneak attack Wuyin will inevitably be shattered...
If you want to hide it, you definitely can't.
After Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and immediately sent someone to contact Xun Chen, asking Xun Chen to speed up his march.
"Third General, what should we do?"
Zhang Fei jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Jiang Ji.
Just now, when the two of them had a confrontation, Zhang Fei had already discovered that Jiang Jiong had a different identity.
He squatted on his back and stared at Jiang Jiong's body without saying a word for a while. The soldiers around him were interested in asking, but some were hesitant to step forward...
Who doesn't know that this third general has a bad temper?
Although he is not drunk, interrupting his train of thought might anger him, and if he doesn't do it right, he could even lose his life!
After a long time, Zhang Fei suddenly stood up.
"Fu Kuang!"
"Ah... the end is here."
A general in his thirties, hearing Zhang Fei's call, quickly stepped forward, "Third General, do you have any orders?"
"You put on his armor."
"ah?"
"Our whereabouts have been exposed.
With so many people missing all of a sudden, how could Wuyin not be alert? The little thief is not in Wuyin now, but his subordinates are not drunkards. They will definitely be aware of it. I want you to dress up as a scout of Cao Jun and return to Wuyin.
.Once they let them go, you can occupy the city gate for me. Half a stick of incense, I only need you to hold half a stick of incense, and I will lead my troops to respond."
"this……"
Fu Kuang almost cried!
I have heard for a long time that the third general is a man with a bad temper, but I didn't expect that he would come up with such an idea at this time.
To cheat on the city gate?
Easy to say!
However, Fu Kuang knew very well that once he died, it would be a narrow escape.
Not to mention whether Zhang Fei can arrive in time. But in only half a stick of incense, he will face ten times, or even dozens of times more enemies. How can he persevere? However, if he refuses, Mr. Zhang will not be able to act savagely.
, immediately drew his sword and chopped him to the ground.
"General, how do you deceive the city gate?"
"Look, your body shape is very similar to this person's.
When the time comes, smear blood on your face and pretend to be injured, so that no one will notice. I will have thirty white men accompany you to help you occupy the city gate. Don't worry Yuanbi, just say you are on the way
If Wuyin is ambushed by me, Wuyin will be in a panic when the time comes, and he won't interrogate you too much. He can easily open the city gate by false pretenses. If Wuyin is captured this time, Zhang will definitely ask the lord for credit for Yuanbi."
Having said that, Fu Kuang also knew that he had no other choice.
Moreover, I have to admit that Zhang Fei's strategy seems to work... maybe he can actually deceive the Wuyin City Gate to open.
"In this way, I will obey your orders!"
There is a saying that when an arrow is on the string, it must be fired.
Fu Kuang knew very well what would happen if he rejected Zhang Fei.
So, he immediately put on Jiang Ji's armor, and someone brought Jiang Ji's war horse. He turned on the saddle, picked up the stirrups, and sat on the horse. Someone brought blood and smeared it on Fu Kuang's face.
With Cao Cao's victory over Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei gradually became aware of the existence of stirrups and saddles. It's no wonder that Liu Bei had many battles with Cao's army in Nanyang, so how could he not be aware of the use of saddles and stirrups?
Therefore, ten years after Jian'an, saddle stirrups began to be popularized on a large scale in Liu Bei's army.
To put it bluntly, this thing is just an idea without much technical content. Once discovered, it can be easily imitated. Didn’t Ma Chao discover the existence of saddle stirrups at the beginning? If Cao Peng hadn’t said to reduce the fee
Wo, after ambushing Ma Chao, he might encounter Ma Chao's counterattack. After Fu Kuang got on the horse, he didn't feel any discomfort. He was lying on the horse's back, covered in blood, and he really looked like he was seriously injured. If he were standing in the city
Looking down, it's really not easy to see any flaws.
When Fu Kuang and others were ready, they whipped their horses and whips and headed straight for Wuyin.
Zhang Fei immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to launch a sneak attack.
Now that it has been discovered, let's launch it in advance... The longer the delay, the less sudden the attack will be, and it may turn into a stalemate.
Presumably, Military Advisor Xun Chen would not object!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Leaving aside Zhang Fei's mobilization of troops and horses, he just called Fu Kuang and led thirty white soldiers who had changed their uniforms and headed towards Wuyin County.
From a distance, the Wuyin City Wall is clearly visible.
Fu Kuang couldn't help but feel nervous...
"The soldiers on the city heard the truth and opened the city gate quickly."
There were white men soldiers shouting loudly under the city, but they saw torches suddenly lit up on top of the city.
"What's wrong with General Jiang?"
"We were ambushed by Liu Bei's troops on the way, and the general was seriously injured... Please open the city gate quickly."
There has been a small school for a long time, reporting to Yang Di.
After Yang Di heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He took Deng Ai and Cai Di to the top of the city. He raised the torch and looked down, only to see a group of soldiers under the city looking miserable.
Jiang Ji was covered in blood and was lying on the horse's back.
Yang Di did not dare to hesitate and turned around quickly, preparing to order the city gate to be opened.
Unexpectedly, Deng Ai suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Uncle, there is a scam under the city."
"ah?"
"Uncle Jiang's tribe is all from Liangzhou... Those people just spoke with a Nanyang accent.
Moreover, Uncle Jiang has a habit of wrapping a brocade handkerchief around his arm whenever he performs military duties. But I didn't see the brocade handkerchief on that person's arm. This person must not be Uncle Jiang, and I'm afraid that his uncle has already been killed.
These people are spies who want to open the city gates fraudulently."
In terms of understanding, who can understand Jiang Ji better than Deng Ai?
Jiang Jiong lived in Xingyang for two years, and Deng Ai and him got along day and night.
Naturally, Yang Di would not doubt Deng Ai's suspicions.
Hearing this, he immediately wanted to order everyone in the city to be killed, but was stopped by Deng Ai.
"Uncle, since the thieves want to deceive the city gate, their soldiers and horses will definitely follow... Wuyin's army is empty, and he may not be able to hold on for too long. It is just a good opportunity to give them a blow and weaken their spirit. Uncle can take advantage of the opportunity,
Order people to go to Jiyang to ask for help..."
As he spoke, Deng Ai lowered his voice and whispered a few words into Yang Di's ear.
After hearing this, Yang Di couldn't help but nod his head, "Just as my nephew said..."
