Sun Ce's thoughts were racing, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he guessed something.

So he issued an order and ordered the soldiers to go to the city again to rest.

But this time, Sun Ce did not go back to the state capital to rest. He only sat in the tower and drank tea.

"My lord, the big-eared thief has retreated. Why don't you go back and rest? Pan

Zhang asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm going to sit here and test my suspicions for myself."

Sun Ce said while sipping tea, and there seemed to be a profound meaning in his words.

Pan Zhang couldn't understand, so he had to endure his sleepiness and continue to stay up late with Sun Ce in the tower.

Unknowingly, half an hour was approaching again.

The moon was already west. Slanting, the white color of fish belly gradually appeared in the east.

Pan Zhang was so sleepy that he yawned continuously, and his upper eyelids and lower eyelids fought countless times, and he almost fell asleep standing up. But

Sun Ce was still pouring cup after cup of tea, forcing him to Refresh yourself.

The pot has reached the bottom and the last cup of tea is about to enter your throat.

"Boom boom!"

"Woohoo!"

The sound of drums and horns, which had been silent for half an hour, sounded outside the city again.

Pan Zhang was startled, and his sleepiness was shaken away in an instant, and he shouted:

"Lord, that big-eared thief is attacking again at night!"

Sun Ce was calm as usual, drank the last cup of tea slowly, and raised a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"As expected, it lasted half an hour!"

The tea cup was put down with a bang, and Sun Ce stood up and walked out of the tower.

The soldiers, who had been awakened three times, were dragging their exhausted bodies and were reluctantly scolded by the generals and went to the top of the city to set up defenses.

In the hazy night outside the city, there were still Liu Jun was nowhere to be seen, only the beating of drums and killing sounds that stung people's eardrums were heard.

After two struggles, the Jiangdong soldiers were already in a frenzy, and their morale and morale were greatly frustrated.

The original tension was gone, and only I wish that Liu Jun would come and kill them quickly. They would kill each other and vent their anger.

Before they knew it, another half an hour had passed.

The first ray of dawn rose and was about to pierce the darkness of the night.

The sound of the war drums stopped suddenly.

The city The outside view is clearly visible, but not a single soldier of Liu Jun is visible.

"Damn it, is that big-eared thief sick?"

"Attacking and not attacking, just beating gongs and drums for most of the night, what on earth did he want to do?"

Pan Zhang couldn't help but cursed loudly and was full of anger.

The Jiangdong soldiers along the city were all holding back their anger, and they cursed and complained one after another.

"Pan Zhang, don't be angry, the big-eared thief wants this result."

Sun Ce suddenly said with a sneer.

Pan Zhang was stunned and looked at Sun Ce blankly.

"The big-eared thief knew that our Jianye city wall was indestructible. From the beginning, he had no intention of attacking the city at night."

"I expected that he would just send out more than a thousand men and beat gongs and drums every half hour to pretend that he was about to launch a large-scale night attack."

"And our army thought he was going to attack at night. When they heard the sound of drums, they would be awakened from their dreams and rush to the top of the city to set up defenses."

"After this back and forth, our army was led by his nose. The soldiers were exhausted and their morale was low."

"This is the intention of the big-eared thief"

"I guess that such a vicious method must have come from Deng Mu."

Sun Ce figured out the mystery.

Pan Zhang suddenly realized, and then he understood why Sun Ce refused to go to the city just now. Instead, he sat down and drank tea leisurely in the tower.

It turned out that he was testing his speculation, whether Liu Bei would Half an hour later, a new round of feint attacks was launched.

Facts have proved that Sun Ce’s judgment was right.

"Since the lord has seen through Liu Bei’s trick, it’s easy to handle"

"If he feints again, we can just ignore him."

"He's playing gongs and drums outside, so let's just sleep on our own and let him go to work in vain. Pan

Zhang said without thinking.

Sun Ce rolled his eyes at him and asked:

"What you said is very light. If the big-eared bandit feigns attacks several times and sees that our army has relaxed its vigilance, and takes the opportunity to actually attack at night, how should we respond?"

Pan Zhang was speechless, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.

If this was true, they would still be sleeping soundly, and Liu Jun rushed over like a tide. If the troops on the city wall were not reinforced in time, wouldn't it be...

Pan Zhang didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he He said with a bitter face:

"Since we can't just ignore it, and we can't let the big-eared thief lead us by the nose, leaving the soldiers exhausted, what should we do?.?"

Sun Ce lightly hit the battlements with his fist, thinking about countermeasures.

Although he was not as resourceful as Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, he still had the talent to be a commander. He did not need to seek advice from advisers for everything.

After thinking hard for a long time, the corners of Sun Ce's mouth raised slightly.

"Although Deng Mu's method is despicable, it is not that difficult to defeat it."

"Pan Zhang, you immediately send an order to divide the ten thousand soldiers into three teams."

"These three teams take turns to perform night watch. If they encounter big-eared thieves beating gongs and drums, they only need to be closely monitored by the night watch team, and the other two teams can just rest."

"Unless the enemy actually shows up to attack the city, there is no need to pay attention to the two groups of troops."

"In this way, it can be ensured that two people in each team can sleep well at night."

Hearing Sun Ce's countermeasures, Pan Zhang was immediately overjoyed.

"The lord's plan is very good. With such rotation of soldiers, the feint harassment tactics of the big-eared thieves will naturally lose their use."

"My lord, this plan is very clever and clever. It is really extremely clever!"

Pan Zhang was overjoyed and did not forget to give Sun Ce a red ass.

A smug smile flashed across Sun Ce's face, as if he had regained a lot of the little overlord's self-confidence.

"Big-eared thief, do you think that since I have no advisers to use, I can just let you control me?"

"I, Sun Ce, am not like you. I am mediocre in intelligence. Without Deng Mu, I cannot win the battle."

"I have no counselor, but I will still defeat your schemes!"

Sun Ce's sarcastic sneer rang out from the top of the city.

So the 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers in Jianye City were divided into three teams.

Every day at night, three thousand of them were on duty at the top of the city, closely monitoring the movements outside the city.

The other two teams of 6,000 troops plugged up their ears and just slept soundly, ignoring the shaking of the earth outside the city.

For ten days in a row.

Every night at night, Liu Jun would make loud noises of gongs and drums every half an hour. Heaven, the killing sound was like thunder.

But Jiangdong Army ignored it and just slept peacefully.

Liu Bei's bluff for ten days but no actual attack convinced Sun Ce that his judgment was correct.

So he sat back and relax, only watching Liu Bei's jumping up and down with a cold smile. , waiting for Sun Quan to lead his newly recruited troops to rescue Jianye

Ten days later, late at night.

Inside Liu Jun's camp, murderous intent surged to the sky.

The 50,000 soldiers of the Liu Army have all stood solemnly, with crazy fighting intent burning in their eyes.

Liu Bei immediately raised his sword and directed his stern gaze in the direction of Jianye West City.

Footsteps sounded, and a young general came to him.

"The last general, Ling Tong, paid a visit to Duke Xuande."

"Thanks to Duke Xuande's kindness of not killing, I am willing to join the service of Duke Xuande and swear to kill Sun Ce for Duke Xuande!"

The young military general half-knelt inside, with the anger of revenge burning in his eyes.

Ling Tong was captured in the battle of Wankou and would rather die than surrender.

Liu Bei cherished his talent, so at Deng Mu's suggestion, he was temporarily placed under house arrest for treatment. Injured.

After the battle of Niuzhu, Deng Mu learned from the surrendered soldiers that Sun Ce actually killed his father Ling Cao in a rage.

So Deng Mu believed that the time had come, so he advised Liu Bei to remove Ling Tong from Wankou Brought to the front line of Jianye.

After learning the bad news that his father had been killed, Ling Tong was filled with grief and anger, and his loyalty to Sun Ce instantly turned into endless hatred. At this moment, he fell on the ground and bowed down to Liu Bei. drop

"Please start the public performance soon. Liu

Bei hurriedly dismounted, helped Ling Tong up, stroked his shoulders and said comfortingly:

"You, the Ling family, and your son are both brave, loyal and courageous people. It is a pity that Sun Ce was so violent and crazy that he personally killed a loyal and admonishing person like your father."

"It's a public achievement, so you have to express your condolences. Ling

Tong gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"My father and son were so blind that they took refuge in Sun Ce and went through fire and water for him!"

"Tong has nothing else to ask for. I just hope that if my lord attacks Jianye, I can make him the vanguard. Even if I risk my life, I will destroy Jianye for my lord and kill Sun Ce!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly and glanced back at Deng Mu.

Deng Mu looked up at the bright moon and pointed his riding whip eastward:

"The time is almost up, and it’s time to destroy Jianye City." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Sun Ce will definitely cross Zhongshan Qingliangshan to escape to the east. Ling Gongji is the most familiar with the terrain in that area. Since he is determined to take revenge, the lord will leave the task of intercepting and killing Sun Ce to him."

As soon as these words came out,

Ling Tong was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Naturally, he knew very well how strong Jianye City was. He originally thought that Liu Bei would ask him to lead his army to attack Jianye, but he already knew it in his heart. He was ready to fight to the death.

Who would have expected that as soon as this Military Advisor Deng said that he could defeat Jianye? He even figured out that Sun Ce would abandon the city and flee eastward?

And ordered him to intercept and kill Sun Ce?

Ling Tong's thoughts Surging with surprise, he looked at Deng Mu with disbelief.

"Ling Gongji obeys the order!"

"I order you and Ding Feng to lead six thousand elite troops to the east of Qingliang Mountain in Zhongshan Mountain immediately, and do your best to intercept Sun Ce!"

Liu Bei gave the order sternly without thinking.

Although Ling Tong had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the order and immediately accepted the order.

Ding Feng and Ling Tong led a total of 6,000 troops, left the camp at night, and headed east of Jianye

Send away the intercepting troops to.[]

Liu Bei and Deng Mu looked at each other and shouted:

"Send an order to Lu Zijing to immediately burn all the pillars in the cave and collapse the west wall of Jianye!"

The scout galloped away.

After a moment, a column of thick smoke rose from the ground behind the camp.

"Everything is ready, let's see how lucky the lord is and whether my whimsical plan can succeed."

Deng Mu smiled and looked at Jianye Xicheng.

Liu Bei and the generals present were all nervous and looking in the direction of Xicheng with expectation.

Those historical fragments flashed through Deng Mu's mind.

This Jianye City has many names in history, such as Jinling, Jiankang, Yingtian...

In history, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was located here and was renamed Tianjing.

Later, when the Hunan army besieged Tianjing, they used digging under the city wall. Tunnel, and finally buried gunpowder to blow down the city wall and break the city.

Of course Deng Mu knew that gunpowder was powerful, but he knew even better that if gunpowder was to be used in actual combat, the first step was to have a large amount of it.

And with the technology of this era, Under the conditions, it is obviously unrealistic to mine raw materials and manufacture gunpowder on a large scale. It is naturally impossible to blow up Jianye City. As soon as

Deng Mu thought about it, he came up with a stupid way to settle for the next best thing.

The so-called stupid way , that is, first dig a tunnel under the west city wall, use wooden piles as pillars, and then dig a huge cavity.

Finally, set fire to the pillars. The stone wall above will naturally collapse after losing the pillars.

Ordinary soil A rammed city wall may not collapse even if there is a cavity underneath.

However, Jianye's city wall was built of mountain rocks, and its weight was several times that of the earth-rammed city wall. Its advantage turned into a fatal flaw.

Deng Mu took advantage of this. , just now he came up with this whimsical plan.

This plan was done. Since there were no successful battles, Deng Mu did not dare to make a guarantee with Lao Liu that this plan would definitely succeed.

As for the whole night long The purpose of beating gongs and drums is to deliberately create loud noises to cover up the earthworks under the city wall.

After all, Sun Ce is good at using soldiers. How could he not prevent them from digging tunnels? He would definitely bury a large vat under the city wall to monitor at any time. The movement below the ground.

With such a beating of the war drum and such blowing of the trumpet, even if there were landslides and cracks beneath the ground, Sun Ce would never be able to monitor it.

"Old Liu, whether you can defeat Jianye tonight depends on your luck..."

Deng Mu held his breath and stared at the towering city wall.

Time passed by.

Thick smoke spilled from the tunnel entrance. , has filled the sky over the camp, choking the soldiers and coughing.

However, the west gate wall of Jianye is still standing, with no sign of collapse.

The soldiersAfter waiting for a long time, I started to feel anxious.

A hint of worry gradually flashed in Lao Liu's eyes.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Lao Liu couldn't help but look at Deng Mu (Zhao Hao).):

"Military advisor, is this your plan?——"

The words have not yet finished.

The ground beneath his feet began to tremble faintly.

Immediately afterwards, a loud cracking sound suddenly sounded in front.

Liu Bei was shocked and looked at Jianye again anxiously.

Under firelight.

The Jianye City Wall, which is as strong as a copper wall and an iron wall, is collapsing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, a section of the city wall that was five feet wide collapsed and turned into flat ground.

The uninformed soldiers of Army Liu were all shocked and dumbfounded when they saw this incredible scene.

After that, it burst into pieces

"If Jianye City collapses, you will collapse!"

"This is God also helping our lord!"

"My lord is really destined by destiny, and heaven is helping my lord!"

The soldiers cheered and shouted with excitement.

Countless pairs of awed eyes looked at Liu Bei's place.

At this moment, in the eyes of all the soldiers, Liu Bei seemed to be the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu, the destined lord who was destined to rekindle the Han Dynasty!

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu with excitement and wonder.

"Military advisor, your whimsical plan has succeeded!"

"Such a means of destroying the city is really unprecedented. Military advisor, are you really?——"

Liu Bei was so shocked and excited that he was at a loss for words.

Deng Mu was secretly relieved and pointed his riding whip towards the collapsed city wall with a smile:

"It seems that this destiny really lies with the Lord."

"Jianye City has been destroyed. Lord, what are you waiting for?"

Liu Bei was suddenly shocked, and the excitement on his face immediately turned into hunting pride.

He took a deep breath, drew his sword in his hand, and pointed forward:

"The entire army listened to the order and marched into Jianye in one go!"

The trumpet sounded.

The gates of all the camps were opened wide.

Fifty thousand soldiers of the Liu Army poured out of the camp like a torrent from a burst embankment, rushing toward the gap in the collapsed city wall.
