Chapter 340: Besiege the County Government! (Thanks to Xiyu Yak, Yue Nan, and Yikeda Mi for their two monthly tickets~)
After hearing Zhang Song's words, Xing Daorong's face changed drastically!

But the next moment, a trace of confusion appeared on his round face:
"Why didn't I get General Zhang's military order?
"Why would General Zhang ask you to come and inform me about such an important matter?"

After all, Zhang Song had only joined them not long ago, and it was hard for him to believe what they said suddenly at this time.

Seeing Xing Daorong was indifferent, Zhang Song could only patiently explain:
"Zhang Su tried to get the generals drunk, but I don't know what his intention was.

“Also, on my way out, I noticed that many people in the city looked serious and dignified, not like normal people.

"If General Xing doesn't send out troops, when something really happens to General Zhang Liao, it will be too late!
"If you send troops into the city now, even if nothing happens, General Zhang Liao will not blame you.

"But if danger really happens, and you arrive in time to save the generals, wouldn't that be a great achievement?
"By then, not only General Zhang Liao, but Lord Chu will also reward you handsomely!
"If the general does not agree to such a good thing with only benefits and no harm, wouldn't it be foolish?

“Although I have surrendered not long ago, I have been favored by Lord Chu for a long time.

"I think the one who will eventually be qualified to fight for the world must be Duke Chu. How could he do anything to harm Duke Chu?"

After listening to Zhang Song's veiled persuasion, Xing Daorong was finally convinced.

Zhang Song was right. If you win the bet, you will gain great merit, but if you lose the bet, you will not suffer any loss!

As the general of Lingling, he would not miss this opportunity and immediately said to Zhang Song:
"Your Excellency's words make sense... In that case, I will immediately select 5,000 soldiers and follow you into the city!"

Hearing that Xing Daorong only brought 5,000 soldiers, Zhang Song thought about it and felt that there was no problem.

If there were indeed enemy troops left in the city, the number of soldiers would not be a clear advantage in the narrow city.

In so-called street fighting, flexibility is far more important than the number of soldiers!

Xing Daorong quickly led 5,000 soldiers and entered the city with Zhang Song.

At the same time, in the county government.

Even though Zhang Liao had been cautious the whole time, he couldn't resist the numbness of alcohol and Zhang Su's constant flattery, and he got drunk unconsciously.

As for the other generals, although they were alert at first, they were all drunk at this moment.

Zhang Su glanced at everyone present, with a playful smile on his face.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed an empty seat. It was Zhang Song who had gone to the toilet and had not returned for a long time.

Zhang Su frowned slightly.

Although Zhang Song looks rough, he has been very smart since he was young.

If it weren't for her ugly appearance, she would have climbed to a higher position than him long ago.

The other party hasn't come back for a long time and I don't know where he has been.

But Zhang Su was not too worried.

After all, Zhang Song had just surrendered to Lu Bu's army not long ago, and the generals under Lu Bu's army could not have much trust in him.

It's time for him to leave now, otherwise if a fight breaks out, he might be in danger.

Zhang Su immediately said to Zhang Liao:
"General Zhang, let's go to the toilet and take a look at my brother. Why hasn't he come back in so long?"

Zhang Liao glanced at Zhang Su, and without thinking too much, he nodded slightly:
"Go back quickly."

"Here."

Zhang Su left the banquet hall and quietly went around to the back door on his way to the toilet.

He then left the county government office through the back door and hid in the home of a citizen whom he had made arrangements with in advance.

And in this inconspicuous wooden house, Zou Jing had already been waiting here.

Seeing Zhang Su coming, Zou Jing immediately asked:
"Are all the enemy generals drunk?"

Zhang Su nodded seriously:
“Although they weren’t drunk yet, what they didn’t know was that I put a chronic anesthetic in their drinks!
"When the drug takes effect, their whole body will gradually become paralyzed and they will lose consciousness.

"The rest is up to you!"

Zou Jing collected his thoughts and nodded seriously:
"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements." As long as we can capture the county government, a group of senior generals of the enemy will be captured by our army.

"Whether to kill or chop him up is up to us!"

Zhang Su had a playful smile in his eyes, but he still reminded:
“Although most of the enemy’s senior generals are already drunk, there are still some junior generals and lieutenants who should not be underestimated.

"Captain Zou must not underestimate the enemy and try to capture the county government as quickly as possible!"

Zou Jing said "hmm" and said no more. He immediately rushed out of the house with a group of soldiers holding sharp blades.

In the dark streets.

Zou Jing and his soldiers immediately dispersed in the city and knocked on the doors of houses where civilians lived in the residential area.

The soldiers hiding in the house quickly rushed out and joined other soldiers.

Soon, nearly ten thousand soldiers were hiding in the dark in the residential areas around the county seat.

Following Zou Jing's order, a group of soldiers immediately and silently marched towards the county government!
Guarding the gate of the county government was a young general named Zhu Ran, who was only fourteen years old.

Although he made great contributions in the last battle of Yingchuan, he was only promoted to the rank of captain.

With his current official position, he is not able to drink with the generals and bigwigs in the county government.

But Zhu Ran was not unhappy.

On the contrary, at this moment he is looking forward to the day when he can be on equal footing with those brave generals!
Just as he was looking around vigilantly, he suddenly heard faint, rapid and chaotic footsteps with his sensitive ears!

Unsure, he immediately lay on the ground with his ear to the ground under the surprised gaze of his men.

The faint footsteps just now became more and more obvious!

Zhu Ran immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him:

"Quickly go and notify General Xu Sheng at the entrance of the middle courtyard! Tell him that there is something going on outside the county government!"

The soldier's face changed, and after responding, he rushed into the county government in a hurry.

Zhu Ran immediately shouted to the dozens of soldiers at the gate of the county government:
"Suspected enemy forces are approaching! Be prepared to retreat into the mansion at any time!"

Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other in confusion, obviously unable to believe that the enemy would suddenly appear in the captured city.

Of course, there were also some soldiers who were more obedient. They immediately drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.

Some older veterans, looking down on Zhu Ran for becoming a captain at such a young age, ignored his orders.

At this moment, the sound of a vibrating bowstring suddenly came from the dark corner!
Several veterans disobeyed orders and failed to draw their weapons in time.

By the time he reacted, he had no weapon to block the arrow and was hit in the body!
In an instant, screams rang out one after another!
On the contrary, the soldiers who were alert to their surroundings either deflected the arrows with their weapons or avoided the shooting by reacting in advance.

At this moment, the old soldiers who were shot by arrows realized why they were still the lowest-level soldiers at their old age.

And he is already a captain at such a young age.

It turns out there really is a gap between people!
The key is that they were so self-righteous that they did not listen to Zhu Ran's advice, and thus brought trouble upon themselves...

The sudden arrival of bow and arrow shooting also confirmed Zhu Ran's guess.

Although Zhu Ran is young, he remains calm in the face of danger.

He immediately ordered the soldiers who were not hit by arrows to take the veterans who were hit by arrows and retreat into the county government and close the gate of the county government!
Zou Jing obviously did not expect the enemy's reaction to be so quick.

But there was no point in reacting quickly.

There were only a thousand soldiers in the county government at this moment.

Even if the county government is protected by high walls, it can't withstand their army of tens of thousands!
Zou Jing was filled with joy and shouted to his soldiers:
"Brothers, the opportunity to make achievements is right in front of us! Follow me to charge into the county government and capture and kill the enemy general!

"superior--!!"
