"What's going on?" Huo Jun asked urgently

"The Wei army launched a surprise attack just now, and set fire to several camp tents in the northwest corner with rockets!"

Huo Jun couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the situation now!?" ”

"General rest assured! The Wei army has been repelled by us! Only a few tents were lost! ”

Huo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Order all the departments on duty to be on guard!" ”

"No!"

Huo Jun took dozens of personal soldiers to inspect the camp, and there was nothing wrong with him, so he went back to sleep

However, as soon as he fell asleep, the sound of swords and soldiers fighting was loud again, and there was the sound of gongs and drums, Huo Jun hurriedly got up, ran out of the big tent to check, and got the same report as just now.

After that, this kind of situation appeared one after another, almost every half an hour to an hour, and Liu Jun was disturbed.

Huo Jun, who was annoyed in his heart, wanted to fight several times, but was blocked by the cool-headed Wu Lan

The 40,000 main forces of the Fourth Army, which marched towards Qu'a, arrived at the city of Qu'a a day later.

At this moment, the four gates of Qu'a City were closed, and the soldiers of Liu on the city wall were waiting for them, obviously they had already received the news of the arrival of the Wei army.

The city area of Qu Ah is not small, with a population of more than 100,000, and now it is the only base of Liu Jun, before the Wei army originally planned to capture Qu Ah first and then cross the river to attack Sun Jian, but the defeat of the water division and the westward shift of the center of gravity of the campaign made Cao Cao temporarily give up the plan to attack Qu Ah,

At this time, the conditions for attacking Qu Ah were basically ripe, so Cao Cao ordered the army to attack Qu Ah as planned.

This time, the Wei army's nearly 500,000 troops launched an offensive along the Yangtze River, in fact, the main goal was Qu'a, and the army attacking Qu'a was 40,000 people of the Fourth Army. The leading leaders will be Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao.

Xiahoudun immediately stood on a small hill outside Qu'a City, looking at Qu'a City not far away.

"Take this place. Jiangbei is all ours! Xia Houdun looked a little excited.

At this time, Zhang Liao rode his horse and rushed up the hill: "General Xiahou." The camp has been planted! ”

Xiahoudun turned his head to look at the location of his army, and saw a city-like camp rising from the ground.

Xiahoudun said to Zhang Liao: "The army of Wu is nearby, we can't delay time, we must immediately attack Qu Ah!" ”

Zhang Liao was taken aback, hugged his fists and said: "General Xiahou, I am afraid that the hasty siege of the city is only afraid that it will be bad for us!" ”

Xiahoudun said very confidently: "If you think so, then the other party will think so!" We can hit them by surprise! ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel that what Xiahoudun said made sense, but he was still a little worried.

"General Xiahou. Doesn't that seem too risky? A cautious Zhang Liao did not approve of Xiahoudun's adventurous plan

Xiahoudun said categorically: "If you don't make a risky move, how can you have a big victory!" I've made up my mind, Wen Yuan doesn't need to say it anymore! ”

Seeing that Xiahoudun was so persistent, Zhang Liao didn't persuade anymore.

"Then General Xiahou, what are you going to do?"

Xiahoudun instructed: "Wen Yuan, you immediately go and select five hundred sergeants who are good at climbing for this general, and they must be elite!" At the same time, let the quartermaster prepare 1,000 small oil canisters for Ben General, and another 500 repeaters for Ben General! ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and promised, and then left the hill.

There was no movement of the Wei army throughout the day, and the soldiers of the Liu army on the city wall couldn't help but gradually relax their vigilance. After nightfall, the Yi people patrolled the defense on the city wall, and saw that the morale of the soldiers was not high and many were actually sleeping! I couldn't help but be annoyed in my heart, and called the officer in charge. He reprimanded him severely, and then ordered: "All soldiers must be on mental alert, and must not be taken lightly!" “

The officers were submissive. Izu left here and headed for the next place. A Wenchen on the side said to Yi Yuan: "Situ, the Wei army will arrive today. Sure it's going to have to be repaired for a few days first! Don't be too eager for the garrison, just let them rest! ”

Yi Yuan shook his head and frowned: "The actions of the Wei army have always been unreasonable, Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao are both generals in a hundred battles, we must not take it lightly!" ”

Although Wenchen felt that what Yi said was reasonable, he did not think that the Wei army would immediately attack Qu Ah despite his tiredness, but although Wen Chen thought so, he did not argue with Yi Zhi.

Next, Yi Ji inspected the four gates and many points on the city wall, and sternly told the defenders to be on strict guard, although the soldiers were all submissive, but not many people took Yi Zhi's words to heart.

When Yi returned to the office, he looked a little tired, but he didn't rest, and came to the map shelf to look at the situation between the two sides marked on the map and think.

At this moment, Qu'a City is very quiet, there is no pedestrian on the street except for Liu Jun's patrol, and the lights of the houses on both sides of the street are very dim, and there is a very uncomfortable and depressing atmosphere.

The houses of the people in the streets and alleys are almost dark, but in the darkness there are uneasy hearts, whether it is ordinary people or wealthy merchants, they can't help but worry about their fate.

What's more, crying at home, the atmosphere is as if they have seen their relatives leave, in fact, it is no wonder that the fate of ordinary people and businessmen in the war is the same, just like a small raft in the stormy seas, there is a danger of capsizing at any time!

In the middle of the night, the crescent moon in the sky at this moment has been biased to the west, and Qu'a City is even more lonely, and this loneliness makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Hundreds of black shadows quietly lurked under the gate of the West City, paused for a moment, and then more than a dozen black-clothed people shot their locks at the city wall with strong crossbows, and then, the black-clothed people climbed up very cunningly along the hooks.

Dozens of black-clothed people came to the city wall first, and then scattered in all directions, at this moment, a sentry sleepily walked out of the city gate tower to pee, and in a daze, he saw a black shadow flickering under the blurred light, and couldn't help but rub his eyes and then look fixedly, only to see several people in black not far away.

couldn't help but be stunned, his face suddenly changed, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Enemy! ”

The sound stopped abruptly, and the sentry fell down in horror while clutching his blood-spurting neck, and one of the soldiers in the city gate tower woke up and hurriedly woke up his companions.

"Did you hear anything?"

The companion listened with his ears open for a moment, and said with a smile: "You dream! What a sound! Then he lay back down.

The soldier listened for a moment, and did not see anything wrong, so he said to himself: "It seems that it is really a dream!" "I also lay down.

It only took a moment for all the five hundred black-clothed men to ascend to the West City Gate, and at this moment, Liu Jun, who was in charge of guarding the West City Gate, was unaware of it. (To be continued.) )
