Chapter 605 Xu Rong attacks, Su Yao is overjoyed

The night is dark.

In front of the big tent of Dong Zhuo's camp, Meng Fang and other former subordinates of Fan Chou were in an uproar:
"Let us fight a losing battle?"

"What do you mean, Xu Zhonglang?"

After hearing this order, everyone was dumbfounded and they were extremely scared.

Especially when the order asked them to be the vanguard, Meng Fang and others were scared to death.

How can the Champion Marquis be easily defeated? Should we be the vanguard in the battle?
Are we worthy???

The first thing that popped up in their little heads was four big words - kill with a borrowed knife!
However, when they saw Fan Chou being beheaded just now, they knew that the general in front of them was a ruthless man who ruled his army with an iron fist.

Now, behind the camp, the six thousand cavalrymen were full of murderous intent, and they really didn't dare to act rashly.

They all knelt on the ground one by one, begging for mercy:
"We are loyal to our country, the sun and the moon can bear witness to this!"

"Xu Zhonglang, you must not send us to die."

"What are you thinking? How can I let you die so easily?"

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Xu Rong stroked his beard and smiled, and instead of answering, he asked:
"As you know, Lord Dong gave me a secret order before he left, requiring us to delay the rebel Su Yao for at least three days to cover his army's movement."

"And judging from Su Yao's past battle record, if we let him concentrate his forces, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for us to hold out for three days."

"So, if you want to complete the mission, you must launch the attack in advance, seize the opportunity, use your numbers to bully the few, and use your strength to bully the weak, only then can you win."

"But this traitor Su Yao has always been brave and good at fighting. He is unstoppable and very difficult to deal with."

"So, after all this hard thinking, I finally found his weakness!"

"As long as you follow the plan, even if we can't kill him this time, we can definitely deal a heavy blow to his troops, dampen their morale, and prevent them from crossing the river, thus completing Lord Dong's mission."

Xu Rong spoke with confidence, and Meng Fang and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They simply couldn't understand where Xu Rong got his confidence from.

"Why, don't you want to win?" Xu Rong snorted coldly.

Everyone said they didn't dare. They were extremely surprised, but seeing that Xu Rong's words were so certain, it didn't seem like they were lying.

After all, if they could really defeat Su Yao, it would be a great pleasure and a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Meng Fang swallowed his saliva and said quickly:

"Please forgive my stupidity, but I beg the general to explain to me how to fight this battle."

"Eight simple words are enough - lure the enemy deep into your territory and kill them with one blow!"

"Lure the enemy deep into our territory, and attack them until they are rescued?"

Meng Fang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:

"Xu Zhonglang wants us to feign defeat to lure the enemy?"

"Yes."

Xu Rong said confidently:
"As I said before, although the rebel Su Yao is brave and invincible, his forces are limited after all, and the army has not yet completely crossed the river. Now that he has not yet gained a firm foothold, it is the best time to defeat him."

"That's why I didn't send troops into the camp with a big fanfare, just to catch him off guard."

"You have already been defeated before. If you provoke him again at night, he will not let you go easily."

"As long as you lead him out of the ferry and bring him here, my army will surely defeat him completely!"

Meng Fang looked in the direction Xu Rong pointed, which was on the east side of the camp, at the foot of the hill.

There, their camp and the hill would perfectly block the view in the direction of the ferry at night, making it an excellent ambush point.

"But."

Meng Fan still hesitated:

"What if the rebel doesn't fall for it?"

"This place is too close to the camp, and has entered the attack range of the camp's sentry tower."

"Normally, unless he intends to take advantage of the situation and break camp, he would never chase to such a close distance."

"Of course, we can also lose miserably."

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid the rout will be irreversible and it would be bad if it attacked the general's army." The others nodded when they heard this.

But they all understood very well because there was really nothing they could do about it.

After all, Luoyang is a basin, and there are many plains along the Luo River. The hill they found is already far away from the ferry.

Xu Rong wanted to ambush and hide his 6,000 troops from being discovered, and this could only be done near the camp.

"You don't need to worry too much!"

Xu Rong sneered:
"If Lord Lu or another general were leading the troops, I would never adopt this strategy."

"But everyone, don't forget, the person coming is the rebel leader Su Yao!"

"I have studied him for a long time. In contrast to his astonishing martial arts, he is a brave and aggressive person with an arrogant and impatient temperament who never suffers any loss."

"On the battlefield, he has always been daring and aggressive, always striving to be the first. His past achievements have all been about taking the initiative and making quick decisions."

Xu Rong's eyes swept across everyone's faces and continued:
"He thinks highly of himself and thinks that we are like Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, who are vulnerable to attack."

"If you lose again, he will not doubt you and will pursue you relentlessly, intending to annihilate you in one fell swoop."

"Besides, I also took out double insurance this time."

"Ambush and besiege him is only one of the purposes. The more important purpose is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, go straight to his ferry, and kill him with one blow!"

Meng Fang suddenly realized:

"So the general's fatal blow was here!"

"That's right. When you go to attack and provoke me, I will secretly send a cavalry to take a detour to the ferry."

"As long as you can bring him here, it would be best if he takes the bait and is ambushed."

"If he doesn't take the bait, I'll send the order to storm the ferry."

"Without the commander, those miscellaneous soldiers at the ferry are definitely no match for our Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

"As long as we burn his ferry, his plan to cross the river will be ruined."

"And once the fire starts, he will be extremely anxious. When the time comes, our army will chase him closely and make him pay with blood!"

The soldiers finally showed admiration after hearing this. They regained their confidence and flattered Xu Rong one by one:

"The Zhonglang General is indeed different. I admire him!"

"General Zhonglang's plan is truly brilliant and flawless!"

"This time, we will make that traitor surnamed Su pay with blood!"

For a moment, the blood in Dong Zhuo's camp was boiling, and they were full of determination to win.

At the same time, Su Yao
"Hey, these guys, isn't the maintenance fee free?"

"Are you coming to fight or not? If not, I'll go there by myself."

"My stamina medicine is very expensive!"

On the rooftop of the inn at the ferry terminal, Su Yao stood at the highest point, looking at the camp on the distant hill, constantly switching between the melee and ranged weapons in his hands, eager to try.

Although this guy couldn't hear Su Yao's mumbling, Zhao Yun below still felt sick to his stomach. He stepped forward again and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Lord Su, it's getting late, come down and have some rest."

To be honest, Zhao Yun didn't have any expectations at all.

After all, Lu Bu has already told him, so just let him do whatever he wants. It's useless to persuade him, so let's just do the job at hand.

However, Zhao Yun still kept track of the time and came over to remind them every few steps.

This time, after shouting, Zhao Yun still shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave.

As a result, dust suddenly flew up in front of him, and with a bang, Su Yao jumped down and laughed:

"It's coming, it's finally coming!"

"Quick, quick, Zilong, go and inform everyone to prepare to meet the enemy."

"We have killed a big fish this time. There are about 7,000 to 8,000 people. Don't let them get away!"

"What?!" Zhao Yun exclaimed.
