Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 143
Chapter 143 Night Operations
Mayi county government.
When the lights were on at night, it could be said to be exceptionally lively. The reason was that he wanted this general, Zhang Chao, to treat Emperor Han Xian to a banquet here.
If it was normal, then even officials who were in charge of a county would have to pay a very low price if they wanted to see the current Great General, even if they wanted to meet him in the capital. But now, it was true that he was able to entertain the Great General, and he was still calm. This made Zeng Lian very proud of himself as the master.
Apart from being happy, Zeng Lian also arranged for more wine and meat, and at the same time, he also called over his capable subordinates, wanting to use this to reveal his identity.
The generals were curious to see the Great General of the current dynasty. Turning around and spreading it out was also a kind of bragging ability. For a moment, the young generals who arrived at the county government were like clouds, filling up the three big tables that had been arranged.
Zhang chao with country, dian wei and xu chu came, see is overcrowded.
Looks like there are so many people, looking at the outfit are also mayi county garrison leader, zhang chao le. Wasn’t this what he had hoped for? Immediately, he pulled down his identity as a general and took the initiative to greet the generals.
Zhang Chao’s enthusiasm, so approachable, let the mayi garrison leaders overjoyed. Originally, he thought that a general that was personally conferred by the Emperor should be lofty, but now that he was in front of him, he greeted him affectionately and spoke, everyone immediately felt that their status had been raised.
Just because you’re with a multimillionaire doesn’t mean you’re a multimillionaire. You’re just you. If you want to be one of them, you have to rely on your own efforts, not just eating together and drinking wine to really change.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many people who understood this principle. Especially these mayi defenders who had not seen much of the world, they were completely confused by zhang chao’s appearance and enthusiasm, everyone brought bowls of wine to toast with zhang chao, hoping to drink a cup, in the future it was more talk with people.
The county government was bustling with activity and harmony. But outside, there was already a tremendous storm about to arrive.
In front of the south gate of Mayi County, the thousands of Zhangjiajun light cavalry camped here had already begun to move. As soon as the appointed time arrived, they abandoned the camp. Everyone stood at the gate with torches and shouted loudly that they were hungry. At this time, right in front of him, Lyu bu’s 8,000 vanguard troops and Zhao Yun’s 5,000 Dragon Tiger Army had secretly arrived at the pitch-black city gate a thousand meters below and were ready to enter the city at any time.
Inside the city gate, there were also a hundred Zhang Clan cavalrymen shouting to open the door.
The Zhang Clan cavalry in the city gates were about to leave the city, and the names they gave were for the brothers outside to eat. In order to deceive the city gates, these people even took out a thick fragrance of heroic drunkenness to reward the soldiers in Mayi. There were also a few flashes of brilliant gold in the hands of Qu Chang and Ju Chang, all of whom were gifted by the Zhang Clan cavalry just now.
These soldiers did not seize the opportunity to drink with Zhang Chao, is depressed. Suddenly, there was some good wine, and even so much gold and silver in their hands. All of them immediately began to laugh with wide eyebrows.
On the city wall, one could clearly see that the Zhangjiajun outside the city was holding a torch and shouting for hunger. All the facts were right in front of their eyes, so they couldn’t help but believe it.
“Alright, alright. Even if they are the troops of the Great General, how can they go hungry? In that case, I will report it to Lord Zeng right now and open the city gate for you after obtaining permission.” Commander Qu, who was in charge of guarding South City, chuckled and said to a battalion commander of the Zhangjiajun.
When the battalion commander heard that this person wanted to report the matter to Zeng Lian, killing intent flashed in his eyes. If he could not deceive the city gate, he would forcefully snatch it. This was Zhang Chao’s final order before going to the county government gate. However, this was a bad idea. He didn’t want to use this method unless he absolutely couldn’t.
Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, the battalion commander of the Zhang Clan took out another five flaws of gold and handed it over. “General, everyone is a soldier, please do me a favor. I said that there are only a thousand people outside our city. There are indeed more than ten thousand soldiers in your city, can you still be afraid that we will cause trouble?”
‘”This” Seeing that there were five more gold nuggets handed over. With these things, one could live a very wealthy life for their families. How many years had they been able to live without worries about food and clothing?
Originally, this Guardian City Chief Qu was not of high status. If it wasn’t for the fact that all the ministers went to the county government for dinner, it wouldn’t be his turn to decide. It was even more rare for him to receive gifts like this. It was likely that it would be very difficult for him to have a second time in his life.
Looking at these golden flaws, he hesitated. Zhang Jiajun’s battalion commander added, “General, go report to Lord Zeng Lian. After a while, the brothers outside are really hungry.” Sure. It’s convenient. We just sent the food over and came back immediately. “If you are worried, you can send someone to follow us. If you really can’t, even if you send these dishes over, it will be the same.”
The battalion commander’s words moved the city guarding song captain. He thought that if he were to arrange for someone to send these meals out, there shouldn’t be any problem. Even if the higher-ups found out, they would still have a reason to blame him. In this way, he called over a subordinate leader of the 100-man squad to replace the Zhang brothers and send food out of the city.
The leader of the Centurion Team, Pu Chang, had another golden flaw in his hand. Looking at such a good job, he immediately agreed. He beckoned his hundred soldiers to take the food from the Zhang Clan’s light cavalry and then headed out of the city gate.
Someone had already pushed the south gate open, allowing the hundred men to send food out.
“Ah, wait, there’s still some good wine here that needs to be delivered to the barracks.” Seeing the Mayi garrison open the city gate, in order to create more time for the vanguard army and the Dragon Tiger army, the battalion commander of the Zhang family army chuckled and ordered his subordinates to remove dozens of jars of heroic drunkenness.
Originally, this Chief Qu, who was about to close the city gate first, saw that there was still something left to be delivered, so he shouted, letting the city gate open for a while, letting the wine go out to talk.
As soon as the order was given, the city gate remained half-open. Suddenly, a loud trembling sound came from beneath his feet, as if it was a precursor to an earthquake.
“What happened? What happened?” Feeling the tremors beneath their feet, both the city guard, Chief Qu, and his subordinate generals had doubts on their faces.
Zhang Jiajun’s battalion commander, who was already prepared, felt the tremor coming from beneath his feet and smiled. Then, he suddenly pulled out his sword and said, “Brothers, kill! Welcome the army into the city!”
The hundred brothers of the Zhangjiajun who were already prepared to attack drew their swords after shouting, and then slashed towards the nearest Mayi garrison.
The Zhangjiajun brothers moved very quickly. They were so fast that many of the Mayi garrisons had become undead before they knew what had happened. The songmaster was also killed by the battalion commander’s sword because he didn’t react in a hurry. Without the main general, the Mayi garrison was thrown into a mess.
“Open the city gate.” Zhang Jiajun’s battalion commander took advantage of the other party’s chaotic situation and shouted loudly. Soon after, dozens of Zhangjiajun brothers arrived in front of the city gate and pushed the thick city gate to both sides.
“These people are enemies. Kill them.” After a short period of chaos, a soldier from the Mayi garrison reacted. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the Zhang family army with his brothers. He clearly wanted to regain control of the city gate.
However, it was already too late to make a move. It was only a distance of a thousand meters. To the cavalry, it could be reached in a single charge. Outside the city, the vanguard army and the Dragon Tiger army were already there, so there was no way to stop them.
“Everyone, back off and let the cavalry enter the city.” Seeing that the enemy had only reacted after a while, the battalion commander of the Zhangjiajun army revealed a trace of mockery in his eyes as he hurried towards the city gate.
The sudden retreat of the Zhangjiajun made these Mayi garrisons overjoyed. They thought that the other party was invincible. All of them howled as they charged forward. Just as they arrived at the city gate, they collided head-on with Lyu bu and Zhao Yun, who were riding into the city.
The two of them charged at the front, seemingly wanting to confirm who was faster and who was fiercer. With the help of the BMW, the two of them had actually pushed the cavalry behind them by nearly a hundred meters.
Just as the two fierce generals arrived at the city gate, they saw the scene of the Zhangjiajun soldiers retreating and the Mayi garrison charging out.
“Zilong, do you dare to bet with me?” Seeing so many Mayi defenders rush out, Lyu bu’s eyes shone brightly. Perhaps in his eyes, these people were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
“Alright, then let’s see who can kill.” Zhao Yun knew what Lyu bu meant, and he didn’t have the slightest bit of fear. After agreeing, he flapped his horse, and the bright silver spear in his hand leaned forward. With a stab, a stream of blood shot up.
“What a fast speed. Let’s see what happens next.” Lu Bu watched as Zhao Yun killed someone with this random spear stab. His battle intent was also awe-inspiring. He waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and entered. Two streams of blood spurted out in front of him.
One person was Lu Bu, and the other was Zhao Yun. The two generals were comparing the speed and number of killings. For a time, however, no one could stop the Mayi garrison that was blocking them from being stabbed to the ground one after another. Even two soldiers with spear knives were stabbed to the ground before they could last for a single round.
The bravery of the two generals completely intimidated the courage of the Mayi garrison. Seeing their companions fall to the ground without the slightest bit of strength to retaliate, these people began to feel fear in their hearts, and their footsteps began to retreat.
In Mayi City.
The sound of tens of thousands of cavalry’s iron hooves came from beneath their feet, causing the expressions of Zeng Lian and his subordinates, who were drinking, to change.
