At this moment, the discussion in the big tent is coming to an end, and Zhang Lu will issue orders next, and will attack Chen Cangcheng automatically after dark.

"Soldiers and horses are like this. When the six elders led the guards to climb up the hillsides on both sides of Chencang City. Zhang Wei led [-] cavalry to attack the city from the front and attracted all the Chencang defenders. Gathered on the front tower, Then the teaching guards borrowed ropes to climb to the top of the two sides of the city, dealt a fatal blow to the defenders, and took down Chencang City in one fell swoop!"

After giving the order, Zhang Lu suddenly got up, and said with a solemn expression: "This celestial master is here to supervise the battle in person, all the generals must work together, the day to defeat the enemy is tonight!"

"Promise!" There was a voice of promise in the big tent, full of confidence, obviously determined to win tonight's battle.

Dividing line

Chen Cangcheng, in the lobby of the city guard's mansion.

As dusk approached, all the generals of the Chinese army who were on the westward expedition to Hanzhong gathered together, but the high-ranking seat was empty, and even Li Zhi, the commander of the personal guard who often stood next to the seat, was nowhere to be seen.

"In the past two days, the situation has changed suddenly, and the enemy has mobilized troops very frequently. Especially this afternoon, Zhang Wei's army has all assembled in the camp, and its strength is far greater than the [-] people half a month ago. According to the scout report In recent days, a large number of soldiers and horses have successively entered the enemy camp. It is conservatively estimated that the number of soldiers and horses in the enemy camp has exceeded [-], which is close to [-] troops, almost twice that of our army. This information, generals I already know that, so I won’t repeat it. The enemy’s large-scale mobilization of troops and horses must have a plan, and the comer is not good. If it is not expected, I will assert that Zhang Wei’s army will definitely take action tonight.”

Speaking of this, Fazheng paused, immediately got up and walked to the center of the hall, and said solemnly: "The most urgent thing now is that we must move immediately and actively prepare for the battle according to the predetermined plan. Do you generals have any objections to this?"

Before the words were finished, Ma Teng continued, "This time, we are planning to act suspiciously, lure the enemy deep, and lead Zhang Wei's army to take the initiative to attack. The original plan went smoothly, and everything will be carried out as soon as Wenchang returns to the city to sit in command. I did it according to the plan. Unexpectedly, the emperor was seriously ill at this juncture, and he fell ill in front of the court in public, which made the whole plan complicated, and Wenchang couldn't get out. Since then, we are in danger of self-defeating this time. , if you are not careful, you will fall into the predicament of luring the enemy and suffering instead."

While speaking, Ma Teng got up and left the first seat on the right. Gu Zi walked to the last seat and sat down. He said loudly: "The enemy is in front of us. We must not mess up our position. We must work together and work together to defeat the enemy. Follow Wenchang's instructions when he returned to Chang'an. According to my request, from now on, the military advisor Fazheng, Qin Gongying commander Huang Zhong, and General Zhao Yun will be in charge of the army. Now, let the three generals issue orders!"

After hearing the words, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and immediately said in unison: "Please give the order from the military adviser, we will follow the order!"

Fazheng did not back down when he heard the sound, nodded solemnly, and said loudly: "Thanks to the trust of the generals, I will issue the general order of battle on behalf of the lord. The generals will obey the order."

Gentlemen, check if there is any monthly pass in your pocket. The National Day is coming soon. In the last [-] hours, let's take a shower, freshen up, and change clothes. Don't forget the monthly pass in your pocket. It's a pity.Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!

My voice is hoarse, why is there no effect?

There is one more in the morning.I don’t know if you are satisfied with this rhythm. If not, Huben can speed up even more, just ask for the last monthly pass in September.thanks!

Chapter 842

Thanks to: book friends wq007_007, kingleo, master A, who don't like reading books, who are sad for love, and book friends who shed tears and tears for their monthly support, thank you!

The setting sun is as red as fire, and it seems to be very attached to this side of the sky.

The last touch of the setting sun leaves a long tail in the sky, which is so bright that it leaves a strong stroke before the night comes.

Reluctant to leave too.

The night slowly opened, and the darkness slowly descended.

The night is getting darker, ruthlessly erasing the last remaining color in the sky.

The wind blows in the evening, the stars are hidden, and the night sky is moonless.

It was the last night of April in early summer.

With the sound of "quack" piercing the silence of the valley, the camp located on the middle of the valley quickly opened its gates, and then tens of thousands of Hanzhong troops filed out.

Under the night, tens of thousands of troops marched towards Chencang City in the dark. Thousands of warriors rode with their hoofs wrapped around their steps, with their mouths in their mouths, trying not to make any noise, and slowly advanced along the Shizishan Road.

Tens of thousands of troops marched at night without lighting torches, which is probably not uncommon in previous wars.

Fortunately, Chencang City was not far away, and the brightly lit towers several feet high, invisibly pointed out the direction for the army that came in the dark, leading them to gradually approach the city.

"It's finally here, and it seems that there are a lot of people, and it seems that they are all out."

On the hillside two miles away from the southeast corner of Chencang City, two tall and straight figures stood under a pine tree, condescending, looking down at the long snake-like black shadow wriggling slowly at the foot of the opposite mountain.whispered softly.

"Zilong's statement is not true. In fact, they have come a long time ago. Zilong pay attention to the forest beside us. The pine trees on the top of the mountain are shaking constantly. It seems that there are many enemy troops hiding. Moreover, these people are agile. I saw The branches are shaking but the body is invisible, which shows that the enemy army who is trying to attack the city is well-trained and powerful." The slightly burly man did not pay attention to the large group of soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain, but focused all his attention on his left hand In the nearby forest, he whispered while watching.

"Hey! What Brother Han Sheng said is true. There are indeed a large number of enemy troops hidden on the western hillside. It seems that the enemy general Zhang Wei also made two-handed preparations like us tonight, and the main force attacked the city head-on. Hidden ambushes on the top. Once most of our army's defenders move to frontal defense, these ambush soldiers will wait for the opportunity to seize the top of the city and attempt to seize the city in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, they can think of sneak attack tricks. How can we not know?

despite this.The sneak attack battle tonight is still extremely dangerous.The enemy's siege force is twice that of our army, occupying a superior force, while our army has the advantage of the city.There will be a fierce fight tonight, and the task for you and me is to draw chestnuts from the fire, which directly determines the success or failure of this battle! "

Apparently, the two men standing under the pine tree were Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong and Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, the two main generals currently stationed in Chencang City.What is intriguing is that the two of them are not in the city at the moment.And in the second mountain forest to the east of Chencang City, it is only more than ten miles away from Zhang Wei's camp.The straight-line distance is less than ten miles, and it seems to be on the high mountain opposite the enemy camp.

The mountain forest on their left is the earth slope closest to the east of Chencang City. The terrain is relatively flat, the hilltop is not high, and the trees on the mountain are sparse, but it is better than thatch densely covered with a large number of wild trees more than ten feet high.There is only more than [-] steps of buffering downhill between the hillside and the city wall. The foot of the mountain is only two feet away from the top of the city, while the city wall in front is as high as three feet and seven feet, and the city wall is almost four feet high.

The east wall is like this, and the west wall is roughly similar.

Therefore, the places close to the mountains and forests on both sides of the city are undoubtedly the easiest places to climb to the top of the city, as they are too close to the ground.Therefore, the corners on both sides of the city near the hillside are also the top priority of defense. The densely packed arrow stacks on the top of the city are enough to accommodate [-] archers to shoot arrows at the same time, and there are dozens of giant crossbows here. All-time powerful.

However, the siege party was unable to push large siege weapons up the hillside, and could only make simple ladders to climb up, which was extremely passive and not conducive to siege.During previous strong attacks by Zhang Wei's army, more than [-] Hanzhong soldiers died under the city walls on both sides. If all the corpses were piled up, it would be enough to fill up the foot of the mountain and reach the top of the city.

Before that, they also considered hiding on this hillside, but considering that the hillside is next to the city, it is easy to be spotted by enemy scouts, thus revealing their whereabouts.So they bypassed this hillside and chose to hide in the dense forest on the east side of the hillside. There is only a very steep mountain depression between the two mountains, and the straight-line distance is less than 150 meters.

Therefore, if one party hides in the forest in advance, it is easy to find the whereabouts of the latecomer, and even have a panoramic view of the other party's every move.Although there is no moonlight tonight, the lights in Chencang City are enough to reveal the scene within a mile nearby, and it is easier for people hiding in the dark to spot the movement in the bright place.

"Zilong is responsible for the main attack tonight, so Zilong won't worry about these small-timers who hide their heads and show their tails. Although Huang is not talented, he is capable of dealing with these invading enemies who don't know how to live or die."

If a general who doesn't understand Huang Zhong's character hears this, even if he doesn't say it, he will definitely feel a little uncomfortable.Because Huang Zhong's words were more or less provocative, which was the most difficult tone for most generals to accept.But Zhao Yun was able to accept it calmly, and he was not angry at all. He knew that Huang Zhong's words were not malicious, but his words were too straightforward.

In addition, there was another layer of meaning revealed in Huang Zhong's words, which was to inform Zhao Yun in advance not to intervene, and that he would flex his muscles tonight and have a hearty fight.The reason why Huang Zhong is so straightforward and eager is not because he is worried about Zhao Yun taking credit, but because he wants to clear his name.

Speaking of which, Huang Zhong, who is now nearly 30 years old, has been in the army for 30 years, but he has not been able to be reused, depressed, and he has been in the army for nearly [-] years.It wasn't until three years ago when he came to Chang'an under the imperial edict that Liu Biao of Jingzhou temporarily promoted him as a lieutenant general in order to save his face, and then sent Huang Zhong's family to Chang'an, and then joined Li Li's command.

What Huang Zhong never expected was that when he first joined Li Li's command, he received extremely high courtesy.He was very appreciated by Li Li.When they met for the first time, Li Li promoted him to be General Huben Zhonglang and served as the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei.Three months later, he worshiped as a general and became a marquis, and then followed Fan Yongyuan to Yongzhou to form a military camp to guard the frontiers of the Western Regions.After a year and a half, he got the opportunity to lead the army alone, led the Wuwei Battalion back to Chang'an, and then led the troops to garrison Wuguan and served as the general guarding the pass.

The only fly in the ointment is.There was no battle in Wuguan during the Sili War, so Huang Zhong had no chance to show his talents, and naturally he was unable to make contributions.

However, after the victory of Sili.Li Li did not forget his credit for guarding the pass.In the last award for the civil servants and generals of the whole army, he was promoted to one of the five tiger generals, the same as Jiuqing, and served as the chief general.Lead a battalion alone.This is the newly formed Qin Gong Battalion.Huang Zhong was ashamed of being grateful to Li Li for his repeated rewards, and felt that he had no outstanding achievements, and he was rewarded for nothing for several times, and he was often deeply disturbed by this.This time following Li Li to go to Hanzhong, Huang Zhong held back his energy from the beginning, feeling that his opportunity to make contributions has finally come, and he must make more contributions.Not for the sake of being promoted, but only to be worthy of the generous rewards he has received.And the protagonist Li Li's appreciation and trust in himself.

When promoted to five tiger generals.Zhao Yun didn't know much about the veteran Huang Zhong, and was even quite curious, how could such a nearly fifty-year-old veteran appear out of thin air, and he was also a member of the Five Tigers.Not only did he have such an idea, even Xu Chu also had this idea, and invited him to compete with Huang Zhong in martial arts.In addition, Xu Chu also invited Ma Chao and Dian Wei, the purpose of which was nothing more than the new Five Tigers to get together to learn and learn martial arts, which meant nothing more than a test.On the other hand, Xu Chu is good at martial arts by nature, the name of tiger idiot is not for nothing, everyone in the army has already known it.However, Ma Chao and Dian Wei euphemistically refused, claiming that they did not have to compete with Huang Zhong, and that their martial arts skills were equal, and their archery skills were ashamed.

Sure enough, I didn't know, I was startled.

Huang Zhong, who was nearly fifty years old, was really formidable. After a lot of practice, his martial arts was slightly better than Xu Chu, and he was on par with Zhao Yun; in terms of archery, neither Xu Chu nor Zhao Yun was Huang Zhong's opponent, and the gap was not small.From then on, Zhao Yun really got to know the old general. As of today, the two have been together for more than two months, and they already know each other's temper well.Huang Zhong is upright and straightforward, but all the generals who have been with him admire him very much, and will never feel grudges or dissatisfaction because he speaks too directly.

"Kill, bang bang bang!"

Just as Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were talking in a low voice, there were loud shouts of killing and the sound of catapults attacking the city from the west of Chencang City. It was obvious that the Hanzhong Army had already begun to attack the city.

"It's almost time, little brother should lead the army and set off. Brother Han Sheng, take care." Seeing the fire in the direction of Chen Cangcheng, Zhao Yun glanced at the opposite hillside again, and said to Huang Zhong in a low voice.

Huang Zhong replied: "Although Zilong can go forward with confidence, he must succeed in one fell swoop and completely cut off the retreat of the Hanzhong army."

Zhao Yun nodded happily, pulled out the gentian spear stuck in the soil, and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around to remind him: "My lord once said that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has a group of dead guardians who have been trained by the Five Dou Rice Sect for many years. Soldiers, these people have extraordinary skills and amazing fighting power, and they are all brave and fearless. I almost forgot just now, but just thinking of the agility of the enemy in the opposite mountain forest, I couldn't help but suddenly remembered the lord's advice before leaving. If I didn't If I guess wrong, the people who appear in front of us right now are most likely the group of dead soldiers under Zhang Lu's tent.

If the younger brother is unfortunate, brother Han Sheng must be more careful.Try to shoot them with bows and crossbows, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not fight with them in close quarters, so as not to cause heavy casualties.Last time we pretended to attack Zhang Wei's camp and lost more than 2000 soldiers in just half an hour. The painful lesson is still in front of us. I hope Brother Han Sheng will treat it with caution and pay more attention. "

"Oh?" Huang Zhong was shocked, and immediately looked at the opposite hillside solemnly, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Since what the Lord said, there must be no mistake. Thank you Zilong for reminding me, otherwise I almost missed the important thing. Zilong will lead the army and set out, brother knows what to do. Regardless of whether these people are the apologists under Zhang Lu's tent or not, it is always good to be cautious, otherwise if they make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's so good, I'll go, brother Han Sheng." After speaking, Zhao Yun left lightly.When he reached the back side of the dense forest, he saw many soldiers walking out of the forest, following him and running straight down the mountain, and thousands of war horses were hidden in the valley. Did not attract the attention of enemy scouts.

Not long after, with a wave of Zhao Yun's long spear, thousands of armored soldiers got on their horses, walked out of the mountain depression slowly, and rushed straight to Zhang Wei's camp.
