Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 356: Spy! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…4579~)

Facing Qin Mi's persuasion, Lu Bu grasped the reins, shook his head and sighed:
"The Han Dynasty is now doomed, and a new ruler should take its place!
"If your master is Liu Xie, you may still have a chance to fight against our army.

“But unfortunately, your lord Liu Mao, although better than the foolish and incompetent Liu Zhang.

"But he is just a mediocre person who inherited his father's influence.

"Our army has won victory after victory, all the way from Ba County to here, without a single defeat.

"Don't you realize the difference in strength between us?"

Listening to Lu Bu's words, Qin Mi felt a little heavy in his heart.

If he looks at it from a rational point of view, he would naturally understand how big the gap is between himself and the enemy.

But as the saying goes, "knowing it cannot be done but doing it anyway", only then can we fight for a glimmer of hope.

If we surrender without a fight, how would we be different from ordinary people?

Qin Mi looked at Lu Bu with a firm gaze, and suddenly gave the order to shoot to the archers who were already ready in the rear!
In an instant, behind Qin Mi, countless arrows shot like locusts towards Lu Bu and Wen Pin who were lured to the front of the formation!
Lu Bu's face turned dark. He obviously didn't expect that Qin Mi, a mere scholar, would be so unethical!
But there is no way a mere arrow could hurt him!
Lu Bu raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji without any panic.

The thick halberd handle and the broad halberd blade were swung left and right like Wukong's stick, knocking down the arrows that were attacking from the sky!

Of course, the soldiers behind him were not so lucky.

Faced with the enemy's sudden attack, many soldiers had no time to react and were pierced by the sharp arrows...

When Lu Bu heard these screams, his face instantly turned gloomy.

After the first wave of arrows was finished, he immediately shouted:
"Don't shrink back! Follow me and kill! Avenge our dead brothers!"

After saying this, Lu Bu took the lead and rushed towards the enemy!

Upon seeing this, Wen Pin immediately rode his horse quickly to catch up and stayed by Lu Bu's side.

When the army in the rear saw their lord charging in person, the fear caused by their companions' screams was immediately swept away!

Twenty thousand troops immediately followed Lu Bu and Wen Pin and attacked the enemy!
Qin Mi looked at the army rushing towards him and his face changed drastically!

He thought he could scare off the enemy with a sneak attack.

But he never expected that Lu Bu and his soldiers were so brave and courageous that they actually charged forward in the hail of arrows!

Qin Mi hurriedly commanded the army to fight, while he himself retreated to the rear to command!
While the two armies were fighting, Zhang Ren had already rushed to the exit of the gentle slope from the Luofengpo path.

He immediately ordered his men to slow down and sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, they found traces of the enemy near the exit of the path.

"How many enemy troops are there at the exit?" Zhang Ren asked in a low voice.

"Report to the general, there are five hundred people guarding it."

Just when Zhang Ren was considering whether to rush and kill these 500 people, another scout came to report:
"General! These five hundred enemies suddenly withdrew!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Ren showed a delighted look:

"It should be that Qin Biejia went out of the city to attract the main force of the enemy army, and the spies lurking in the enemy army sent these 500 people away!"

Zhang Ren asked his men to wait for a moment, then he led five thousand men and quietly rushed out through a small path!

With the help of the mountain and the cover of night, Zhang Ren looked at the fierce battle in front of the north city gate and frowned slightly.

Couldn't we just let Qin Mi lure the enemy? Why did the fight become so fierce?
It seems that he can't delay any longer and must hurry up!

Zhang Ren turned his head and looked towards the location mentioned in the letter, and sure enough, he saw a camp on the gentle slope in the northeast direction.

But at this moment, the camp was heavily guarded, with as many as ten thousand soldiers!
Zhang Ren was unsure whether his raid would be successful.

He decided to wait and see if the spy hidden in the enemy army could help him again...

At the same time, in the camp guarded by Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao stood in front of the camp holding a teacup, observing the fierce battle in front of the city gate from afar, feeling quite anxious.

If he wasn't guarding the most important supplies, he really wanted to follow Lord Chu to kill the enemy...

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report:
"Oh no, General Zhang! The lord was shot in the arm by an enemy arrow!

"But the lord was unwilling to retreat and continued to fight at the front, and no one could persuade him to retreat.

"I think only your words can make him retreat!
"Once our lord is lost, all our efforts will lose their meaning!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's face instantly turned red with anxiety!
Of course, he also saw the dense rain of arrows from the enemy just now.

Although based on his understanding of Duke Chu's martial arts, it should be difficult for the enemy's arrows to hurt him.

After all, the other party was able to escape unscathed when facing Liu, Guan and Zhang in front of Hulao Pass.

Since the uprising, he has hardly been injured!
But the rain of arrows just now was obviously a sneak attack by the enemy, and the possibility that Duke Chu was injured cannot be ruled out.

And given Duke Chu's character, it is possible that he would not retreat even if he was injured, thus inspiring his soldiers to fight and repel the enemy...

If something really happened to Duke Chu, then the entire power of Duke Chu would most likely collapse!

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao immediately turned his head and looked at Wei Yan beside him:

"Wen Chang, I will lead 2,000 soldiers to support the lord, and you will lead 8,000 soldiers to guard this place. Is that okay?"

Wei Yan glanced at Zhang Liao:
"Eight thousand? Are you looking down on me? You take five thousand soldiers to support the lord, and I will keep five thousand!

"At this moment, the enemy troops must be staying in front. How could anyone dare to launch a sneak attack here?"

Zhang Liao grasped the sickle in agreement:

"In that case, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go and persuade the lord to retreat!"

After saying this, Zhang Liao said nothing more and immediately led five thousand soldiers to the battlefield ahead.

Looking at Zhang Liao leading five thousand soldiers away, the soldier who had just come to report the news raised a secret smile at the corner of his mouth.

Quietly retreated into the darkness of the forest...

the other side.

Zhang Ren, who could no longer wait, was preparing to launch a surprise attack when he suddenly saw an enemy general leading 5,000 soldiers to the front battlefield.

Zhang Ren was overjoyed!

The spy hidden in the enemy army really played a role again!

Zhang Ren ordered the soldiers to hide.

After Zhang Liao led the army away, he led his troops and quietly moved towards the camp guarded by Wei Yan.

At this moment, Wei Yan was yawning because of boredom.

When they were about to return to the camp to rest, they suddenly saw a team of 5,000 people rushing towards them in the dark.

Wei Yan thought that it was Zhang Liao who brought people back.

However, he soon discovered that this group of soldiers were coming with great force and did not slow down even when they were close to the camp!
Wei Yan immediately realized that something was wrong, and a storm surged in his heart. He immediately shouted at the lax soldiers behind him:
"Enemy attack! Close the gate quickly! Quickly, quickly!"

While Wei Yan was shouting, he immediately retreated into the village gate.

Seeing that the camp gate was about to be closed by the soldiers, Zhang Ren immediately took a bow from beside the saddle.

Hold the two arrows between your index, middle and ring fingers, pull the bowstring, and place the bow horizontally!

With a whoosh sound, two arrows flew out at the same time and accurately hit two soldiers guarding the village gate!
Zhang Ren immediately shouted and swung the sledgehammer in his hand:
"Brothers, follow me! Destroy the enemy's gunpowder jars--!"
