From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 159 Raid
"Report, report, report!"

From the meeting hall of Daming Town, urgent shouts were transmitted to the barracks.

"Chenpi asks for help."

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Okay! Reinforcements, reinforcements now!"

He had been itching to do something for a long time, and now when he heard Chenpi Town asking for help, he was more excited than anyone else.

The invasion of the Wu Dynasty had long been within everyone's expectations. Everyone knew that the Wu Dynasty would launch an attack on Daming Town sooner or later, and they had all been waiting for this opportunity. This time, they could finally have a head-on confrontation.

When Zhuge Liang heard that Chenpi Town was asking for help, he immediately found Zhang Liao. As the first line of defense for Daming Town in the northern border, Chenpi Town was a defensive fortification specially built to deal with the invasion of the Wu Dynasty.

Jiang Wei hurriedly stopped the excited Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao, signaling them to calm down.

"There is a plain area of ​​more than 300 miles to the northwest. It may also be a breakthrough point for the Wu Dynasty. One of the two generals must go there to defend it."

After hearing what Jiang Wei said, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao felt a pang in their hearts at the same time. No one wanted to go there because everyone knew that Chenpi was asking for help, which meant that a fight had already started in Chenpi Town. The other side would definitely not go through the 300-mile plain area. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort if they went there?

The two sides looked at each other and blinked at each other. It was obvious that they both had their own thoughts.

"General Zhang, please go ahead. General Zhang is very powerful and will surely stun these country folks so much that they dare not take a single step forward."

Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said, "General Zhuge has made rapid progress and his martial arts skills are no less than mine. It is better for General Zhuge to take on such an important task."

Jiang Wei looked helpless. These two guys were more warlike than the other. Aren’t they afraid of death at all?
If it were any other general, he would probably be eager to carry out such a simple mission. But these two guys have to go wherever there is danger and fight wherever there is a fight. They are more anxious than anyone else.

Jiang Wei pressed his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing and go to Chenpi Town. But the premise is that Chenpi Town must be defended."

"Let Gao Shun lead the Xianzhen Camp to guard the plains."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao smiled at each other, then said loudly: "Okay!"

After saying that, the two of them led 5,000 troops and headed straight for Chenpi Town.

Chenpi Town now has 7,000 soldiers, while the number of soldiers sent by the Wu Dynasty to attack the city is about 30,000.

The total military force of Dameng Town is no more than 30,000 men, but Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao are not afraid at all.

On the way, Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Liao: "Our light cavalry is very mobile. Why don't we surprise the enemy before entering Chenpi Town to see how strong they are?"

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he said, "I was thinking the same thing, let's do it this way!"

Zhuge Liang reminded Zhang Liao, "The enemy may send their most powerful generals. You must ensure the integrity of your forces. If you find something wrong, you must withdraw immediately. Don't fight to the end. Remember that?"

He was really afraid that Zhang Liao would get too excited in fighting and simply ignore the lives of his soldiers. It was possible that Zhang Liao would do this.

This surprise attack is only to destroy part of the enemy's forces. It is almost unrealistic to rely on these 5,000 cavalry to destroy the enemy's 30,000-man army. It will be enough as long as we can destroy part of the enemy's forces in a surprise attack.

Although Zhang Liao was always laughing and joking, he was never careless when it came to serious matters. After being reminded by Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao said seriously, "I understand. I won't hold you back."

"it is good!"

…In front of Chenpi Town, Gongsun Zan and Guan Ping looked at the densely packed troops below, a total of 30,000 people, and couldn't help but sigh: "They brought so many troops here at the first pass, it seems that they still have a lot of troops in the rear!"

"Mr. Jiang is right. The other side's current military development strength is too strong."

Guan Ping smiled and said, "As long as we hold them back for a while, they will collapse on their own."

"It's only a matter of time before chaos starts to break out internally."

Gongsun Zan nodded, but also said with some worry: "They can definitely think of the problems we can think of, so they will do whatever it takes to take over Chenpi Town."

"Can this town be defended?"

Guan Ping smiled and said, "Yes!"

Guan Ping was very confident this time. The last time the Yu Dynasty attacked Daming Town, Guan Ping lost all confidence, because Daming Town was really weak at that time, and the enemy's troops were too strong, so almost all of the outer city was lost. But this time was different.

After Mr. Jiang's management, all the towns are now impregnable. Almost all the defensive towns are connected, and cities have been built on the border to block the enemy cavalry. Chenpi Town also has a strong military force and reinforcements in the rear. It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost impossible for them to capture Chenpi Town!
Now that the message for help has been sent out, it won't be long before reinforcements arrive.

Together with the more than 7,000 troops in Chenpi Town, it is enough to defend against the enemy's 30,000 troops!

As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan had already begun to order his soldiers to attack the city. The city wall was nearly ten meters high, and it was extremely difficult for the soldiers to climb up, just like ants.

There was a constant stream of gravel and crossbows shooting down from above, and every step up was as difficult as climbing a mountain.

This time, Xiahou Yuan brought the generals Feng Xi, Mi Fang and Lu Jian. As for the remaining Wu Anguo, Li Tong and others, they defended in the main city.

Xiahou Yuan personally led the troops in order to capture Chenpi Town in one fell swoop and give their offensive plan a good start.

Feng Xi looked at the soldiers on the city wall and said to Xiahou Yuan, "General, the enemy's defense is very strong. This is not a solution. Do you want me to go into battle?"

Feng Xi was a member of the vanguard troops and was very proficient in siege. Xiahou Yuan was somewhat reluctant to let such a sixth-rate general personally attack the city. He shook his head and said, "Wait a minute and see how strong the opponent is."

"it is good!"

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the rear, and soldiers on horseback rushed over and said to Xiahou Yuan, "General! There's an attack in the rear."

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said to Feng Xi, "General Feng, take three thousand soldiers and go take a look."

"Here!"

Behind the Wu army, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao's cavalry had already rushed into the enemy's camp and started a ruthless massacre.

Zhuge Liang's experience points began to soar as the slaughter continued.

Zhang Liao was killing with even greater excitement. Every time he swung his sickle, he could kill a large number of enemy soldiers.

Feng Xi had already brought his elite troops over, and the besieging army was increasing in number. Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao said, "Retreat!"

Zhang Liao was not interested in fighting. In less than half an hour, they had slaughtered more than 500 enemy soldiers. Their goal had been achieved. The enemy would definitely focus on defending the rear and could not put all their troops into siege!
