Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 168 Capture Yiyang
When Liu Yu "captured" the granary, Zhang Fei led more than 1000 Yulin soldiers into the city from the tree hole.

Half of these people were arranged to ambush in the granary, and the rest changed into Xiliang soldiers' clothes and followed Liu Yu to the gate tower at the main gate.

When he arrived at the main gate, Liu Yuxian went up to the gate tower alone, and immediately the guarding primary school stepped forward to greet him.

Liu Yu politely said to them: "The thieves outside are really not too tired, let's stop messing with them and assign them a rotation!"

The primary school guarding the city saw that there was a team of 500 people under the city, and cheered happily on the spot.

"Brothers, good news, the king of Zhongshan really talked about General Guo, but we will take turns to be on duty!"

The good news was passed on from ten to ten, and soon the entire city defense knew the good news.

"Well, let's start with the brothers near the far end!" After speaking, Liu Yu took away the [-] guards at the far end of the city wall, and the soldiers of the Habayashi Army who had disguised themselves stood on the city wall instead.

The position Liu Yu chose to switch defenses was separated from the guards on the tower. In addition, the black lights were blind, and no one noticed that the 500 newcomers were actually unfamiliar faces.

The five hundred guards who had been switched were about to go to the barracks after going down the stairs. At this time, Liu Yu stopped them and told them that they could not go back to the barracks, and that they could only go to the granary if they wanted to rest.

These people were very puzzled, and they all asked why they went to the granary to rest.

Liu Yu explained that only the guards in the granary were willing to change the guard with them. In order to ensure the safety there, someone must fill in the vacancy.

The guards thought that the city would be easier than city defense anyway, and they could sleep in the granary, so they stopped asking questions and happily entered the granary compound.

At this time Zhang Fei had already led more than 1000 crossbowmen in ambush in the yard, and the guards were immediately surrounded as soon as they entered.

"King Zhongshan...what's going on here?" The junior officer among the five hundred guards asked with a surprised expression.

Liu Yu shrugged and said with a smile: "Isn't this obvious, you have been captured!"

After capturing the five hundred city defense troops, Liu Yu concocted them according to the law, and soon all the front towers were replaced by soldiers from the third battalion of the Habayashi Army, while the original two thousand Xiliang archers were all tied up in the granary compound. .

"My lord's plan is really ingenious. The city defense was taken down without bloodshed. Shouldn't the next step be to raid Guo Zhen's camp?" Zhang Fei is warlike. The field is itchy.

Liu Yu's thinking is different. It is the best choice to go up the offensive and win the final victory without losing one's own use.

"The city is coming in, and the enemy camp must be intercepted, but the lives of our Habayashi Army soldiers are very precious, so we should try our best to avoid unnecessary losses!"

Zhang Fei didn't dare to resist, so he put away his warlike heart and waited for the master's arrangement.

Liu Yu calculated that the soldiers of the Third Tu Battalion entering the city totaled 4000 people, while there were still [-] soldiers in Guo Zhen's camp. Although the raid had a high probability of success, the enemy's counterattack would inevitably cause some casualties on his own side.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to hand over the raid task to Xu Huang outside the city, because the 5000 people on his side were all Xiliang soldiers, and letting them kill each other would be the best ending.

As for Zhang Fei's Third Tu Battalion, they were assigned to the city defense, and were in charge of shooting and killing the fleeing enemies.

After making a plan, Liu Yu asked someone to open the city gate gently.

At this time, Xu Huang, who was in charge of harassment outside the city, suddenly saw the opposite city gate open, and then saw Liu Yu walking out of it.

This is how the same thing?Maybe the plan has changed.

Xu Huang leaned over carefully, and only when the two met did he realize that Liu Yu had already occupied the city defense!
"This...is really unbelievable!" Xu Huang always thought that Liu Yu's plan tonight was to wait for an opportunity to burn down the granary after entering the city, thereby destroying the logistics supply of Guo Bang's army. Now it seems that Liu Yu wants to completely cut off Guo Bang's power. back road.

It's just that Xu Huang couldn't figure out how Liu Yu brought the four thousand Yulin army into the city, and even took down the city defense quietly.

"I will explain the specific details to you after taking down Yiyang City. At this time, I would like to ask General Gongming if he would lead his troops to raid the enemy's camp?"

"The end will be willing to go!"

……

From nightfall, the bandit soldiers outside Yiyang City kept shouting, which made the guards in the barracks unable to sleep too peacefully.

As a guard, Guo Zhen couldn't sleep even more, but the noise outside the city suddenly stopped.

So Guo Zhen, who was half asleep and half awake, subconsciously believed that the bandit soldiers really didn't have the guts to attack the city.

But just when he was about to fall asleep in peace, a louder sound came into the barracks in an instant.

Guo Zhen felt that the sound was very similar to the movement of the army rushing to kill, and what was even more strange was that the sound seemed to be very close to his own barracks.

Are you dreaming?

Guo Zhen sat up in a daze, and then he not only heard a loud cry of killing, but also saw the monstrous flames outside the house.

Is there really an enemy attack? !

Guo Zhen didn't dare to hesitate, put on his armor and walked out.

"Where is the orderly...what happened?"

Guo Zhen's yelling was quickly drowned in the battlefield, and there was no messenger to report to him at this time.

I saw that the entire barracks was like a frying pan, and his elite men were being chased and killed by "white wave bandits" in tattered clothes.

Yes, this battle was a chase. When Xu Huang led people into the city quietly, he didn't immediately order a raid on the barracks.

Instead, he spotted the enemy's arsenal before ordering to attack there first.

So when the guards in their sleep wanted to organize a counterattack after hearing the enemy attack, they found that their weapons were gone.

There were two Xiliang armies with equal combat power, and the one without weapons quickly fell into the disadvantage.

Coupled with the huge psychological fear brought about by the sneak attack on the soldiers, this battle immediately lost its suspense.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Zhen quickly organized a hundred people to break through.

The battlefield was very chaotic, and the number of defenders was two to 3000 more than the raiders. Naturally, Xu Huang, who was in charge of commanding, couldn't take care of every corner of the field.

So it really made Guo Zhen and others rush out of the encirclement.

It's just that when these deserters rushed to the city gate, what was waiting for them was ruthless bows and arrows.

Guo Zhen was also shot with two or three arrows, but fortunately he was not injured and retreated out of range.

It's just that he was so terrified that he couldn't understand how the bandit soldiers entered the city, and why the two thousand archers guarding the city defense didn't warn and notify in advance?

The urgency in front of him left Guo Zhen no time to think about it, he had to send the situation here, otherwise Guo Si's army would be attacked by the enemy.

So he endured the arrow wound on his leg and deployed an escape plan for the remaining deserters.

Since the city gate couldn't pass through, they had to climb over the wall and escape. Fortunately, the city wall of Yiyang City was not high.

Guo Zhen ordered them to disperse and flee over the wall from all corners, and told them to report the situation to General Guo Si or Hangu Pass as soon as they left the city!
After hearing this, the soldiers scattered away, leaving only Guo Zhen and a few deserters who were wounded by arrows.

The arrow in Guo Zhen's thigh had long since given up the idea of ​​running for his life, but the confusion in his heart made him feel that he would die in peace.

At this moment, he suddenly found that the wounded soldiers were squatting in the corner digging the ground.

"What are you... doing?" Guo Zhen was so angry that he thought that Xiaobing was digging his own grave, so he came to question with a sword.

Xiaobing hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Reporting to the general, I helped Zhongshan King dig up tree roots two days ago. I remember that it seems to be able to dig out of the city!"

As soon as Guo Zhen heard that he could dig outside the city, he immediately helped dig the soil with his sword.

The hope of rebirth made these people clean, and the soil was very loose, and it didn't take long for them to dig a large area.

Looking at the huge hole, Guo Zhenxin suddenly thought of something.

If the bandits were attacking the city head-on, the soldiers defending the city would definitely report it, but if the bandits didn't come in through the city gate, but drilled in along such a hole, that would explain tonight's surprise attack.

But besides his [-] soldiers, the only person who knows that there is a tree hole in the corner of the city is Zhongshan King Liu Yu.

"Need help? I have a shovel here, I can dig faster!"

The familiar voice interrupted Guo Zhen's thoughts instantly, and then big beads of sweat flowed down his neck and into his back.
