The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 533 Ambush in the City
"Hahahaha, Yide, you finally figured it out. I thought you would hate me. We, as ministers and lords, dominate the world and restore the Han Dynasty. Although some things seem unrighteous, they are also helpless. I believe My lord understands the real meaning behind it, so she supports me in doing this." Zhuge Liang said righteously, as if he was the embodiment of justice.

It took Zhuge Liang's army five days to arrive in Hanzhong. Because of the large number of people, the marching time was relatively long. After Zhuge Liang arrived in Hanzhong, he immediately went to check the situation in Hanzhong. He saw that the city gate was still open, and the defense on the top of the city The arrangement is also relatively normal, and there is nothing wrong with it. He thinks that Zhang Lu has not realized his real intention.

"Military Master, what should we do next?" Zhang Fei came to Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Do you know why I led the army to Hanzhong at this time?"

"I don't know." Zhang Fei shook his head.

"Now is the time of You, the time when the sun goes down, and it will soon be night. We can just camp and rest outside Hanzhong City, so that we can take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong at night, but I have changed my mind now. At this time, the Hanzhong City Gate The defense is empty, we can take the opportunity to attack in one fell swoop, and kill Zhang Lu by surprise." Zhuge Liang decided to temporarily change his strategy, instead of waiting until dark to attack, but to attack now.

"But the soldiers have been marching for a day, and they are exhausted. Attacking at this time may affect morale." Zhang Fei was a little worried.

"You don't need to worry about Yide. In the past few days, I have deliberately slowed down the marching speed, so that the soldiers have enough time to rest, and I have already let the soldiers eat before the time. They will not be so hungry for the time being. At this time The enemy's soldiers are also resting, and the defense is the most lax at this time, so this is the most suitable time to attack the city." Zhuge Liang ordered, "Yide, you will arrange 3000 troops to set up a camp, light a fire and cook to cover people's eyes and ears. Then lead the rest of the soldiers to get ready to attack the city in one go."

"Yes, military advisor!" Zhang Fei took the order and left.

Not long after Zhang Fei left, suddenly a fast horse ran out of the city and came before Zhuge Liang's army. It was Yan Pu who came.After the soldiers reported, they took Yan Pu to Zhuge Liang's camp.

"Yan Pu met Mr. Kong Ming." Yan Pu cupped his fists and saluted Zhuge Liang after entering the tent.

"Hahahaha, Yan Pu is polite, come here, sit down quickly, I wonder if Zhang Taishou has something to do with you when you come to me?" Zhuge Liang wondered why Yan Pu came here suddenly.

"My lord misses Mr. Kong Ming very much, so I specially sent me here to invite him to the city for a good gathering, and also invited him to the city with me. My lord has already arranged a banquet." Yan Pu invited Zhuge Liang to the city under Zhang Lu's order. In fact, this is what Li Yuan taught Yang Song to do. If Zhuge Liang didn't dare to enter the city, then nine out of ten he really wanted to attack Hanzhong, because once he entered the city, he would not be able to command the army and would be caught.

There was nothing unusual on Zhuge Liang's face, and he shied away and said: "Thank you very much for the great love of Zhang Taishou, but our army is preparing to attack Shangyong, so please forgive me for not being able to take the time to go to the city to gather with Zhang Taishou. Zhang Taishou apologizes."

Hearing the words, Yan Pu knew it already, he pretended to invite Zhuge Liang again and again, but Zhuge Liang refused repeatedly, Yan Pu had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, but the purpose of his trip had been achieved.

An hour later, the sun had already begun to set. Zhuge Liang estimated that the gate of Hanzhong was about to close, so he immediately summoned troops to prepare to attack the city.

"Yide, has it been arranged?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Military commander, don't worry, I have left 7000 soldiers to guard the camp, and the remaining [-] are ready to attack the city at any time."

"Okay, let's go now!" Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Fei to lead the army to attack the city.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Fei led the army to approach the city continuously. When he approached the city gate, he was surprised to find that the city gate had begun to close gradually. Procrastinating!" After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he immediately rushed to the city gate with a thousand soldiers, and he wanted to lead these 1000 people to take control of the city gate first, otherwise he might not be able to catch up.

Zhang Fei took the lead and rushed towards the city on a black horse. When he was a hundred steps away from the city, he saw countless archers suddenly appearing on the top of the city. There was obviously no one on the top of the city just now, but these archers were like Like falling from the sky, it comes as soon as it is said, without any warning.

Zhang Fei screamed in his heart that it was not good. The next moment, the bows and arrows on the top of the city flew down densely like rain. He only felt a burst of scalp numbness, and immediately raised his Zhangba Snake Spear to block the arrows. His martial arts skills It's amazing that such a dense volley can't hurt him half a point, but the soldiers behind him are not so good at martial arts, and they have already caused 300 casualties in just one volley.

Zhang Fei took the time to look back, and couldn't help but look ashen. If this continues, even if he can charge into the city, his soldiers will be killed by the enemy's archers before entering the city, so it will be meaningless for him to enter the city.

The black horse Zhang Fei rode was a thousand-mile horse, and his running speed was much faster than that of ordinary soldiers. He quickly rushed into the city, but he was immediately circled as soon as he saw the gate of the city. Many archers were ambushed, which was completely beyond his expectation. Even if he was stupid, he could see that the enemy was already prepared and was just waiting to catch the turtle.

As soon as Zhang Fei rushed into the city, more than 1000 archers who had ambushed immediately started shooting. However, Zhang Fei is worthy of being a tiger general in the world. Zhang Ba Snake Spear suddenly turned into a diamond circle in his hand, covering him and his horse. When he got up, countless arrows were shot down by him one after another.

Yang Song, who was watching from the side, was stunned when he saw this. None of the more than 1000 archers could shoot Zhang Fei. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Zhang Fei reacted very quickly. When he saw an ambush in the city, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran outside. Seeing this, Yang Song urged the archers to continue shooting, but Zhang Fei's black-tailed horse ran very fast. Already running out of the city, the city gate slowly closed, but it was too late to stop him.Zhang Fei rushed out of the city all the way, and shouted to the soldiers who were rushing forward: "There is an ambush in the city, don't enter the city, retreat immediately!"

Both Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were very strict in managing their troops. Although the soldiers didn't know why there was an ambush inside, they knew it was true when they saw Zhang Fei fleeing in embarrassment. So the army that had just attacked immediately turned around and retreated. As for the former army, as for the 1000 people led by Zhang Fei, they had already been shot into a hornet's nest by the archers in the city, and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
