Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 284 Night Attack

   As night fell, the world became quiet.

  Zheng Ju ding ding dong dong felled the woodwork all afternoon, and finally he was almost ready, but it was getting late, so he could only wait for dawn before attacking the city.

It was camping, logging, and making siege equipment. Even the iron-clad soldiers of Zheng Chu were a little exhausted. Wake up.

  It was quiet for a week, and I heard the chirping of insects in the grass on the side of the mountain.

  The soldier standing on the sentry tower above the camp yawned a lot, squeezed out a little tear, rubbed his face, and forced his eyelids to open, but they drooped again shortly afterwards.

There is no way, the normal reaction of the human body, sometimes you can control it if you don’t want to control it—it’s too sleepy. I thought I could go to the customs to rest, but not only did I not, not to mention the camp, but also felled trees, made weapons, and After an afternoon of heavy physical work...

  Suddenly, Hangu closed the battle drum like dense thunder, exploding between the mountains and fields, scaring the sentinel almost toppled over!

   "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" shouted the sentinel, and rang the gong for alarm.

The drums were rumbling, and the sentry shouted at the top of their lungs. Many soldiers rushed out of the tent in a panic. The eyes looked around in panic.

  Zheng Chu and Yi rushed out of the tent, saw Hangu closing the torches and shaking them, and heard the drums rumbling, he couldn't help shouting: "Beware of enemy attacks!"

  Unfortunately, the voice was too low and was covered by the sound of drums, so Zheng Chu pulled his neck and shouted at the highest volume: "Be careful of the enemy..."

   Just when Zheng Chu yelled the third word, Hangu closed the drum and stopped suddenly, and the torch was also extinguished at the same time, as if it had never happened.

Zheng Cui habitually yelled out the last word: "...cough cough..." Then he found that all the people around him looked back at him. Dim, undetectable by others.

  Everyone waited quietly for a while, but what they saw was still darkness and nothing, they realized that the people locked up by Hangu had played a trick, and couldn't help but cursed and went back to the tent to continue sleeping.

  Zheng Chu stood on the spot and tilted his head, thinking about it for a while, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for a while, and went back to the tent frowning.

   Less than half an hour later, when the Hangu Pass was closed, the sound of drums shook the sky again, and the flames flickered wildly!

  There was another burst of chaos in Zheng Chu’s camp. While yelling, the soldiers picked up their weapons, put on their armor, and rushed out of the tent...

  But not long after, the drums stopped again.

  Zheng Chu suddenly realized, snorted disdainfully, and said loudly: "This is the plan of the tired army! Pass on my military order, divide into two shifts, and take turns to rest!"

   All the soldiers followed Zheng Chu’s instructions, half of them were on duty, while the other half happily ran back to the tent, plugged their ears, covered their heads and fell asleep, hoping to sleep enough before it was their turn to be on duty...

  A new round of drumming started at Hangu Pass. Several soldiers leaning together, using their spears as crutches, leaned crookedly together, yawning listlessly amidst the sound of the drums.

   "How many times is this the **** time?"

   "Damn it, who knows, I just want to go back to sleep before dawn..." the soldier said as he raised his head and yawned so big that tears came out.

  Several soldiers around him were also affected by him, and they all yawned, "That's right, it's time to attack the city again at dawn, this **** didn't rest and gave a fart!"

   Several soldiers complained heartlessly, not noticing that a group of people had sneaked up to the camp at all.

Zhang Liao and Huang Cheng walked in the front, counting silently, then pulled the horse almost at the same time, pressed it to the ground, covered the mouth of the horse with the other hand, and stroked the horse with the other hand, comforting everyone He showed the mood of the gang and signaled to the back, and the soldiers behind him quickly followed suit, and suddenly they all fell half short.

  The war horses felt the kindness of their masters. Although the horses were not very used to lying down for a while after walking a certain distance, their mouths were covered under the stroking, so at most they just breathed a few times to express their dissatisfaction.

   "General, is it almost there?" Huang Cheng asked Zhang Liao in a low voice.

  Zhang Liao looked at the distance from Daying, hummed lightly, and said, "The last drum is..."

If it wasn't for Fei Qian's suggestion, Zhang Liao would never have thought that there would be so many blind sparrows under his command. Of the two hundred Bingzhou cavalry, less than half of them could see at night. Make up a hundred.

  But because of this, Zhang Liao is also very confident. His troops are blind. Could it be that everyone in Zheng Chu's camp opposite can see at night?

   Zhang Liao estimated the time, and then he called a few soldiers, let them go to the front quietly, pushed aside the antlers erected outside the camp, and cleared a way for the cavalry to charge.

  The soldiers sent to remove the antlers came back and reported to Zhang Liao in a low voice. They told Zhang Liao that the antlers were close to the camp under the firelight. Except for fearing that the sentries would not dare to move them, the rest had been cleared...

  Zhang Liao nodded, looked back at Hangu Pass, saw the fire flickering several times in a row, and ordered in a low voice: "Everyone is ready!"

   A group of people, including Huang Cheng, pulled up the horses one after another, turned on the horses, and waited for the sound of the drum.

  The rumbling drums sounded again, Zhang Liao pointed his spear, gave a low drink, and rushed out first!

  The sound of war drums covered the sound of horses’ hoofs. When Zhang Liao led his troops to appear under the torches of the camp and began to pry open the last bit of antlers with spears, the sentinel on the watchtower suddenly realized that there were actually soldiers attacking the camp!

   "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sentinel rushed down and shouted wildly, banging the gongs.

"I know..." The soldier in the camp held his spear crookedly, and replied lazily, "The enemy attacked again, several times..." Halfway through the sentence, he suddenly felt an unusual vibration on the ground, and was stunned for a while. , only to realize suddenly, this is the **** cavalry!

   This time it is a real enemy attack!

   "It's really coming! This time it's really coming!" Not only the soldiers panicked, but even the low-level officers on duty also panicked, and quickly organized soldiers to defend.

   Unfortunately, it was too late.

  First, several sentries on the watchtower were called by Huang Cheng one by one, and then the gate of the village burst open under Zhang Liao's fierce attack, and the Bingzhou cavalry broke into the sheep pen like a pack of wolves, and started killing without restraint.

   The Former Lord punished Changyu, Zhuge Liang pleaded guilty. The Former Lord replied: "Fang Lan was born in the family, so I had to do it." ’ Yu then abandoned the market. …Zhuge didn’t work as well as in the Romance in history, and Liu Da’er was still making up his mind in many cases, so it’s not unreasonable for Zhuge to sweat a lot when he asked Gu…
