――――――――――――

The sunset is as red as fire, and it seems to be extremely attached to this sky.

The last trace of the remnant sun left a long tail on the horizon, bright and dripping, leaving a strong stroke before the night came.

I was reluctant to leave.

The night slowly opened, and darkness slowly fell.

The night grew darker, ruthlessly erasing the last remaining shred of color from the sky.

The wind rises in the evening, the stars are hidden, and there is no moon in the night sky.

It's the last night of April in early summer.

With the sound of "quack" piercing the silence of the valley, the camp located in the middle of the valley quickly opened its door, and then tens of thousands of Hanzhong troops rushed out.

Under the cover of night, tens of thousands of troops marched towards Chencang City in the night, and thousands of war horsemen wrapped their hooves and mouths, trying not to make a sound, and slowly advanced along the stone mountain road.

Tens of thousands of troops marched at night without torches, which is rare in previous wars.

Fortunately, Chencang City was not far away, and the lights on the city tower several zhang high were brightly lit, invisibly pointing out the direction for this army that came in the dark, guiding them to gradually approach the city.

"It's finally here, and it looks like there's a lot of people, and it seems to be pouring out."

On the hillside two miles away from the southeast corner of Chencang City, two tall and straight figures stood under a pine tree, condescending, looking down at the long snake-like black shadow that slowly wriggled at the foot of the opposite mountain. Whispered.

"Zilong's words are not accurate, in fact, they have already come. Zilong paid attention to the mountain forest next to me, and the pine trees on the top of the mountain kept shaking. It seems that there are a lot of enemy troops hidden. Moreover, these people are agile, and they can only see the branches of the trees swaying but not their figures, which shows that this enemy army trying to sneak up on the city is well-trained and extraordinary. The slightly stout man did not pay attention to the large group of soldiers and horses under the mountain, but focused all his attention on the mountain forest on his left, and whispered as he watched.

"Huh! What Brother Hansheng said is very true. There are indeed a large number of enemy troops hidden on the western slopes. It seems that the enemy general Zhang Wei has also made the same preparations as us tonight, and the main army is attacking the city head-on. But there were hidden ambushes on the slopes of the hills on both sides. Once most of our defenders moved to the frontal defense, these ambushes waited for an opportunity to seize the city in an attempt to seize it in one fell swoop. It's a pity that they can think of a sneak attack trick. How can we not know?

Nevertheless. Tonight's sneak attack is still extremely dangerous. The enemy's siege force is twice that of our army, and it has the advantage of strength, while our army has the advantage of the city. Tonight will be a fierce battle, and the task of you and me is to take the fire from the fire, which directly determines the success or failure of this battle! ”

Obviously, the two men standing under the pine tree are Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, and Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, that is, the two main generals who are currently stationed in Chen Cangcheng. Interestingly, the two of them are not in the city at the moment. In the second mountain forest to the east of Chencang City, it is only more than ten miles away from Zhang Wei's camp. The distance in a straight line was less than ten miles, as if it was on a high hill opposite the enemy camp.

The mountain forest on their left is the soil slope closest to the east of Chencang City, the terrain is relatively gentle, the hill is not high, the trees on the mountain are sparse, but it is better than thatched, and there are a large number of wild trees that are more than a foot high. There is only a buffer descent of more than 30 steps between the hillside and the city wall, the foot of the hill is only 2 zhang from the head of the city, and the front city is 3 zhang 7 feet high, almost 4 zhang high.

This is the case with the eastern walls, and the western walls are roughly the same.

Therefore, the place on both sides of the castle near the mountain forest is undoubtedly the easiest place to climb to the top of the city, and it is too close to the ground. It is also the top priority of defense at the corners of the two sides of the city near the hillside, the dense arrow stacks on the head of the city are enough to accommodate five hundred archers to fire arrows at the same time, and dozens of giant crossbows are also placed here, and the defense is unprecedentedly strong.

However, the besieging side could not push the large siege ordnance up the hillside, and could only make a simple ladder to climb up, which was extremely passive and not conducive to the siege. In the first few times when Zhang Wei's army attacked, there were more than 6,000 Hanzhong soldiers killed under the city walls on both sides, and if all the corpses were piled up, it was enough to fill the foot of the mountain and reach the head of the city.

Previously, they had considered hiding on this hillside, but considering that the hillside was next to the city, it was easy for enemy scouts to detect and reveal their whereabouts. So he went around the slope of the hill and chose to lurk in the dense forest on the east side of the hillside, separated by a very steep col between the two mountains, less than 150 meters in a straight line.

Therefore, if one party hides in the mountains and forests in advance, it is easy to find the whereabouts of the latecomers, and even take a full view of the other party's every move. Although there was no moonlight tonight, the lights in Chencang City were enough to reveal the scene within a mile of the vicinity, and those hiding in the shadows could more easily detect movement in the light.

"Zilong is on the main attack mission tonight, and these small people who hide their heads and tails don't worry about Zilong. Although Huang is not talented, he is enough to deal with these enemies who do not know whether they are alive or dead. ”

If a general who didn't understand Huang Zhong's character heard this, even if he didn't say it, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. Because Huang Zhong's words were somewhat provocative, this was the most difficult tone for most generals to accept. But Zhao Yun was able to accept it calmly, and he was not angry at all, he knew very well that Huang Zhong's words were not malicious, he just spoke too bluntly, and he was straightforward, so he said whatever he wanted.

In addition, Huang Zhong's words also revealed another layer of meaning, that is, to inform Zhao Yun in advance not to interfere, he would show his strength tonight and fight happily. And the reason why Huang Zhong is so straightforward and eager is not that he is worried about Zhao Yun stealing credit, but because he wants to correct his name.

Speaking of which, Huang Zhong, who is now nearly fifty years old, has been in the army for 30 years, but he has not been reused, depressed, and has been relegated to the position of captain after nearly 30 years of military experience. It wasn't until three years ago when he came to Chang'an that Liu Biao of Jingzhou temporarily promoted him to a general in order to save his own face, and then sent Huang Zhong's family to Chang'an, and then joined Li Li's command.

What Huang Zhong never expected was that he was treated with great courtesy when he first joined Li Li's command. Quite appreciated by Li Li. At the first meeting, Li Li promoted him to the rank of general of the tiger and served as the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei. Three months later, he paid tribute to the marquis, and then followed Fan Yong to Yongzhou to form a military guard battalion to guard the border of the Western Regions. After a year and a half, he got the opportunity to lead the army alone, led the Wuwei battalion back to Chang'an, and then led the troops to garrison Wuguan and served as the chief general of the guard.

The only fly in the ointment is. There was no battle in Wuguan in the Sili War, so Huang Zhong did not have the opportunity to show his talents, and naturally he could not make contributions.

However, after Si Li's great victory. Li Li has not forgotten his contribution to guarding the gates. In the last reward for the military generals of the whole army, he was promoted to one of the five tiger generals, the same position as Jiuqing, and served as the chief general. Lead a battalion of men and horses. This is the newly formed Qin Gong Battalion. Huang Zhong was quite ashamed of Li Li's gratitude for his repeated rewards, and felt that he had no outstanding achievements, and that several rewards were in vain, and he was often deeply disturbed by this. This time he followed Li Li to Hanzhong, Huang Zhong held back his strength at the beginning, feeling that his opportunity to make contributions had finally come, and he must make more meritorious contributions. not to increase the rank of official, but to be worthy of the rich reward he has received. and the appreciation and trust of the lord Li Li in himself.

When promoted to the Five Tiger Generals. Zhao Yun didn't know much about the veteran Huang Zhong, and was even quite curious, how could such a veteran who was nearly half a hundred years old appear out of thin air, and he was also a five tiger general with himself. Not only did he have such an idea, but even Xu Chu had this idea, and invited him to learn martial arts with Huang Zhong. In addition, Xu Chu also invited Ma Chao and Dian Wei, the purpose of which is nothing more than that the new Five Tigers will get together to learn martial arts, which is not incomparably tried. And Xu Chu is a good martial artist, the name of the tiger idiot is not for nothing, and everyone in the army has long known it. However, Ma Chao and Dian Wei politely refused, claiming that the two of them didn't have to compete with Huang Zhong, and their martial arts were equal to each other, and their archery skills were ashamed.

Sure enough, it's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.

Huang Zhong, who is nearly fifty years old, is really powerful, and after some discussion, his martial arts are slightly better than Xu Chu, and he is on a par with Zhao Yun; In terms of archery, Xu Chu and Zhao Yun are not Huang Zhong's opponents, and the gap is not small. Since then, Zhao Yun has really known the old general, as of today, the two have been together for more than two months, and they are already familiar with each other's temper. Huang Zhong is upright and speaks very straightforwardly, but all the generals who have been with him have great admiration for him, and they will never be upset or dissatisfied because he speaks too directly.

"Kill?????? Bang bang bang! ”

Just as Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were talking in a low voice, there were noisy shouts and the sound of catapults attacking the city from the direction of Chencang City in the west, and it was obvious that the Hanzhong army had begun to attack the city.

"It's almost time, it's time for the junior brother to lead the army and set off, Brother Hansheng take care." Seeing the flames in the direction of Chen Cangcheng, Zhao Yun glanced at the opposite hillside again and whispered to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong responded: "Although Zilong is relieved to go, he must succeed in one fell swoop and completely cut off the retreat of the Hanzhong army." ”

Zhao Yun nodded happily, pulled out the gentian gun inserted in the soil, and turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around and reminded: "The lord once said that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has a group of apologetics under Zhang Lu of Hanzhong who have been trained by the Wudoumi Sect for many years. I almost forgot just now, but I thought of the agility of the enemy army in the mountains and forests opposite, and I couldn't help but suddenly remember the advice of the lord when he was leaving. If I'm not mistaken, the people who appear in front of us right now are most likely the dead soldiers under Zhang Lu's account.

If the younger brother is unlucky, Brother Hansheng must be more careful. Try to shoot them with a bow and crossbow, and do not fight them in close quarters unless absolutely necessary, so as not to cause heavy casualties. The previous time we feinted to attack Zhang Wei's camp, and more than 2,000 soldiers were lost in just half an hour, and the painful lesson is still in front of us. ”

"Oh?" Huang Zhong was stunned, and immediately looked at the opposite hillside with a solemn expression, and nodded thoughtfully: "Since it is what the lord said, there must be no mistake." Thank you Zilong for reminding me, otherwise I almost missed a big event. Zilong led the army to set off, and his brother knew what to do. Regardless of whether these people are the apologists under Zhang Lu's tent or not, it is always good to be cautious, otherwise once they make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"It's so good, the little brother goes, and Brother Hansheng cherishes it." After speaking, Zhao Yun left lightly. When he reached the back of the dense forest, he saw a large number of armor soldiers coming out of the woods, following him straight down the mountain, and in the col there were thousands of war horses, these war horses were also hoofed and mouthed, and did not attract the attention of the enemy scouts.

Not long after, with the wave of Zhao Yun's spear, thousands of armor soldiers turned over their horses, slowly walked out of the mountain pass, and ran straight to Zhang Wei's camp.
