Chapter Twenty-Three: Is the City Broken?

"Is the city broken?"

Li Cheng had been staying in the city, and every time he woke up, he asked Liu Dang beside him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The moonlight was bright tonight, and countless Black Mountain thieves took advantage of the moonlight to attack the city and began to hit the private soldiers of the three clans by surprise.

Fortunately, Su You learned from the lessons of Xu Huang's attack and organized a crossbowman to be on standby at any time, and the black mountain thieves who rushed to the city were shot down by the crossbowmen's arrows.

Li Cheng saw that the war was stable, and Li Cheng, who had not slept peacefully for several days, was sleepy, Li Cheng was nearly forty years old, and he had four beautiful wives and concubines, and his energy was not as good as before.

Every time I pretend to sleep, I dream that the city is broken, and after I was captured by the Black Mountain thieves, I tried my best to humiliate myself, but I compromised in exchange for beheading.

I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that the Black Mountain thieves will slaughter the city. But who can understand themselves?

Li Cheng felt lonely and looked at Zhen Yi and the others, hum! Still looking at me, do you really think I don't know what to think? Abandon the official and die without defending the city, Li Cheng naturally chose to abandon the official.

"Let your peace of mind that the four cities are firmly under our control."

Zhen Yi smiled and stroked his beard and persuaded: "If you are tired all night, it is better to go back to the house and rest for a while." ”

"It's okay, Lian Po is still able to eat at seventy! Besides, I'm only in my forties? ”

Li Cheng responded with a smile.

Zhen Yi and Su Shuang smiled helplessly, this envoy is really desperate!

There was a lot of noise overnight, and the county seat of Wuji, the camp outside the city, and the camp of Liu Bei in the north of the river were all busy.

The county government soldiers organized by the minister of Zhongshan made a big show of building bridges and digging ice in the Lu River, and Liu Bei led 3,000 cavalry to detour to the direction of Hejian Mansion.

After a sleepless night, the sky gradually brightened, and the offensive of the Black Mountain thieves was better than nothing, Zhen Yi organized the women and children of the three clans to boil corn porridge and warm Hu cakes and send them to the private soldiers who had been fighting for a night in the city.

"Sir, eat something! The Black Mountain thieves will not attack the city again for a while and a half. ”

Zhen Yi personally led his clansmen to bring food to Li Cheng and Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and the elders of the three clans.

"Hmmm! It's good. ”

Li Cheng took a bowl of porridge, his stomach gurgled in his stomach, so rich in the aroma of corn, Li Cheng instantly felt extremely hungry, and took a few sips, like a hot stream flowing in his abdomen.

Li Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he deserved to be a grain merchant for many years, and the porridge he boiled out was not ordinary.

"Knock knock!"

The sudden sound of war drums made Li Cheng dumbfounded, he couldn't hold the corn porridge in his hand anymore, and he couldn't wipe the warm porridge when he spilled it, but he just asked vigorously: "Do thieves still dare to attack the city?" ”

Under the city gate, the newly defeated Black Mountain thieves were driven to gather under the city again, and the density of the attack was far greater than any before.

Su You understood that this was probably the last blow of the Black Mountain thief, and if he could block it, he would not be extremely safe! If he couldn't stop it, Su You looked at the wife of the Zhang family he had just married, and said that he couldn't be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.

"Don't eat it, the Black Mountain thief has returned to the light, and Liu Yuanjun is already a few miles away."

Su You swallowed most of the bowl in his hand, smiled at Zhang, stood up and shouted: "Life and death are in the next fight, for our homeland, wife and children, fight to the death." ”

"For the sake of the homeland, wife and children, fight to the death."

"Fight to the death."

“……”

Countless private soldiers are suddenly bold in front of their relatives or neighbors, Montenegrin thieves are full of plunder, military discipline is extremely corrupt, if the city is broken, the consequences are unimaginable!

Li Cheng came back to his senses in the rolling morale, and the porridge on his body was also wiped clean by the henchmen around him, Li Cheng smiled reluctantly: "Such morale, the military heart can be used!" ”

"What Ming Gong said is very true, Liu Zhijun is coming, the thief will fight to the death, this battle will be extremely tragic, for Ming Gong's plan, Ming Gong is not as good as returning to the house to change clothes."

Zhen Yi pretended not to see the chestnut into an embarrassed state.

"It's fine."

Li Cheng felt physically uncomfortable and nodded, Zhen Yi and the others were overjoyed, as long as Li Cheng didn't run, even if the city wall was lost, relying on the three clans' private soldiers who were not afraid of death could block it for a long time.

Li Cheng turned to the clan Li Qi behind him and said, "Yuchun! You stay and fight for me, and only one of them is still fighting, and I can't move it. ”

"No!"

Li Qida claimed the promise.

Zhen Yi and the others were immediately at ease, as long as Da Xuan was there, Li Cheng would not care about them.

In Dongcheng, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao watched countless black mountain thieves march towards Dongcheng ants, Xu Huang was worried: "The lord doesn't know if he can arrive before the city is broken?" ”

Zhang Liao smiled confidently: "Gongming doesn't need to worry, the scout didn't say that the lord had left the camp last night, and he marched all night, even if he buried a pot on the road to make food, he could arrive before the time, as long as the Black Mountain thieves couldn't break the city when they were in the country." ”

Xu Huang nodded: "Hmm!" Liu Shi was also thinking about a certain wait, didn't he know that he didn't let a certain attack the city and helped a certain person a lot. ”

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao talked and laughed freely in the city.

Kujing County, Liu Bei led 3,000 cavalry to eat here, they were not as hard as Zhang Liao thought, with the support of the Minister of Zhongshan, Kujing Ling prepared a meal as early as the early morning.

Zhang Fei ate a mouth full of oil, the roasted mutton was golden, and a bowl full of corn and rice was pulled casually into his stomach with a few clicks.

When he looked up, he saw Wen Ping's dusty appearance, casually picked up the corn porridge handed by the bitter father, and shouted, "Wen boy, drink a bowl of porridge first." ”

"Thank you."

Wen Ping hurriedly took the corn porridge and drank it all.

The Black Mountain thieves were indeed much more elite than the Yellow Turban period, and they even knew how to send scouts to find out if there were any reinforcements around, so Liu Bei ordered the prime minister to make a big show next to the Lu River, and he led the cavalry to run around the long distance.

Liu Bei looked at the horizon from afar, the black mountain thieves at this time were already like this, wouldn't the elite soldiers under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao be even more powerful in the future? That's right, if they're all as shit as the Yellow Turban Thieves, what's the challenge?

It seems that the battlefield has been the same since ancient times, but the modern battlefield is more sophisticated, and every step is under control.

"How? Have you explored the road ahead? What is the situation in Paradise City? ”

When Liu Bei returned to his senses, he saw Wen Ping who was preparing a report.

Wen Ping said: "The scouts of the Black Mountain Thieves travel from the camp of the Luhe River to Wuji City once a day and the route is single, and there are no backup scouts and other routes. ”

Liu Bei led the army to attack for a long time, and Wen Ping had already smuggled across the river, touching the scouts of the Black Mountain thieves, and they didn't know that someone was spying on them in secret.

"The Black Mountain thieves don't know if they heard the wind, they have been fighting until dawn from last night, and not long ago they launched a whole army to attack the city."

Liu Bei nodded, it seems that there are also people who understand military strategy among the Black Mountain thieves.

"After eating, the whole army will attack after a moment of rest, and we must rush to the city of Wuji before noon to kill all the black mountain thieves. Boye, your task is to ensure that the Black Mountain thieves know our news, and second, to contact Gongming and Wenyuan, so that they can cooperate with the surprise attack of the army.

"No!"

Wen Ping hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave, but Liu Bei shouted again: "It's not too late to go after dinner." ”

"Thank you, Lord."
