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

Chapter 378 Captain Ding! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from the two loyal fans, Chongduanbaolemai and Zhong612~)

In Guangling City.

Zuo Rong chanted Buddhist scriptures in the temple for a long time and was about to go out to have some good food and wine and sleep with a beautiful girl to reward himself.

At this moment, Fan Neng suddenly came to report:
"Abbot! Something terrible has happened. General Xue Li led a 20,000-man army and 5,000 civilians, but they fell into the enemy's trap. Only 7,000 Guangling City soldiers have returned!

"Moreover, none of the 10,000 elite monks under your command returned..."

Zuo Rong, who was usually calm, felt a blockage in his throat and was unable to speak for a long time!

After a moment, he threw the Buddhist beads in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily:

"Ten thousand monk soldiers, but not a single one came back? Why weren't the Guangling soldiers the ones who died?
"Xue Li is such a loser! I shouldn't have listened to him and let him send out his troops rashly!
"That's great... We lost more than 10,000 soldiers, especially my 10,000 loyal monks!"

Seeing that Zuo Rong was furious, Fan Neng swallowed his saliva and carefully comforted him:
“General Xue is dead, but fortunately 7,000 Guangling soldiers have returned.

“Their families are under our control.

“Add to that the 10,000 Guangling soldiers in the city and the 4,000 new monk soldiers.

"We still have a total of 21,000 soldiers in the city, so it will be no problem to defend the city."

After hearing Fan Neng's words, Zuo Rong calmed down a little.

He bent down with difficulty, picked up the Buddhist beads, wiped off the dust on them, and said coldly:

"Keep a close eye on the families of those Guangling soldiers. If any soldier moves in an unusual way, kill them immediately to scare the monkeys!"

"Here!"

……

The day passed quickly.

Before I knew it, it had gotten dark.

The captain who had led the Guangling soldiers before also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, Zuo Rong severely punished them because they suffered a defeat.

But they were fined their salaries and asked to help the people in the city build temples.

There was no other substantial damage.

I think now that Zuo Rong no longer has those 10,000 monk soldiers, he won't dare to offend them easily.

At this moment, a captain came quietly to his side and whispered:
"Captain Ding, there is still half an hour until the time we agreed with Lord Chen."

The man called "Captain Ding" took out a sharp dagger from his bosom, and then put it back into his bosom:
"Let's get ready, brothers!

“Although most of Guangling’s soldiers are our brothers, there are also many villains who are loyal to Zuo Rong.

"And those who are truly trusted by Zuo Rong are guarding the city gates and watching over our families.

“Let’s make sure our families are safe first.

"Then I will lead the soldiers to the west gate to open the gate and welcome Sun Ce's army in.

"Then send another group of people to block the gate of the temple that was converted from the prefectural government to prevent the evil monk Zuo Rong from escaping!"

The captain immediately responded and passed on the order from Captain Ding.

The captain named Ding also led 500 trusted soldiers and went straight to the residential area.

At this moment, tens of thousands of civilians in the city were divided into two groups and guarded in two places.

One place was for women, the elderly and the weak. They still lived in their own homes, but there was a soldier guarding the door of every few houses.

The other place gathered more than 2,000 strong men in the city.

They lived near the temple under construction and were guarded by two thousand newly recruited monks by Zuo Rong.

At this moment, Captain Ding immediately ordered the 500 soldiers behind him to go to the residential areas.

Conduct tentative persuasion one-on-one with the guards guarding the residents' doors.

If you can persuade them, that would be the best. If not, just quietly kill them with a dagger!

As it turned out, although these guards who were guarding the common people were also soldiers from Guangling City, they were not easy to deal with.

After persuasion failed, the 500 Guangling soldiers, who seemed to be unarmed, approached the guards directly. Because they had no weapons, the guards did not take them too seriously.

However, when these five hundred soldiers approached the guards, they suddenly took out daggers from their sleeves and stabbed them in the throat!

Although most people succeed, a few fail.

However, Captain Ding had anticipated this and personally went to assist the failed soldiers, and quickly dealt with the stubborn guards.

A small number of guards also felt guilty and agreed to join them.

The 500 soldiers of the captain named Ding directly increased to more than 600.

The captain surnamed Ding first ordered his men to pacify the people in the house, and then left three hundred men to guard the place.

He took the remaining three hundred people with him, took the weapons of the dead guards, and continued to march towards the newly built temple!
And the other side.

In the camp outside the city, Sun Ce looked at the quiet city from afar and said with some concern:
"I wonder if Captain Ding and the others have started their actions..."

Chen Gong yawned slightly and smiled calmly:

"Don't worry, I think Captain Ding is very brave and he should have taken action already.

"It's time for us to take action!"

Sun Ce responded and immediately ordered 10,000 troops to march towards the enemy's east gate to attract the enemy's attention!
Chen Gong and Wei Xu quietly led the remaining 8,000 soldiers and quietly went around the west gate.

……

Captain Ding led more than 300 soldiers behind him to hide in the dark, quietly observing the 1,000 monk soldiers guarding the perimeter of the newly built temple.

He knew that it would be difficult to defeat these one thousand people with only three hundred people on his side.

Although these one thousand monk soldiers were newly recruited, their fighting power should not be underestimated.

In addition to the huge advantage in numbers, he must minimize casualties on his side as much as possible.

Because later on, he has more important things to do!
Thinking of this, Captain Ding immediately said to the 300 soldiers behind him:
“Gather together later, listen to my instructions, and head straight into the temple!
“There are still 2,000 young and strong migrant workers in the temple, and there may also be 1,000 monk soldiers.

"With the participation of these migrant workers, and the weapons of these monks are iron rods, their lethality is limited.

"We can definitely defeat these bald donkeys easily!"

After saying that, Captain Ding led the three hundred soldiers and swaggered towards the bored monks.

Soon, the monk soldiers noticed their arrival.

The leading seat leader immediately shouted:

"Who are you?!"

Captain Ding replied calmly:

“We are here on the orders of General Fan Neng to help you guard this place.

"Didn't you hear the commotion coming from the civilian area just now?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Zayuan's face.

But seeing that this group of people was only 300 people, he was not too worried, but just said in a deep voice:
"I didn't hear any commotion, nor did I hear that any support was needed here.

"Go back to where you came from!"

Captain Ding grinned:
"Master, there is no need to be so heartless.

“By the way, in a previous battle, I found a piece of jade from the body of an enemy captain.

"Please help me see whether this is true or not..."

Hearing this, Zuo Yuan immediately became interested.

She watched the man walk up to her and reach into his arms to take something out.

Just as he was looking forward to seeing what kind of top-quality jadeite he could find, a cold light suddenly flashed.

A dagger swept across his neck without any warning!
