Great Military Division

Chapter 140 The Battle of Zangguan
Zengguan.

Xiliang Camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Li Jue leaned over the handsome table, staring at the flattened Zanguan troop deployment map, but no matter how he allocated troops, 400 troops were completely insufficient, and the huge Zanguan was only supported by them, which was really worrying.

"Captain."

His subordinate Sima Li Meng cupped his hands and said, "I heard that General Niu has found King Hongnong. It won't be long before he returns victorious. Don't worry."

huh~~~
Li Jue paused, turned his head to look at Li Meng, his eyes were piercing: "How long is it? Even if it's only for one day, there is still one day's danger. If the enemy comes to attack at this time, what can I do?"

"Ah, this"

Li Meng looked a little embarrassed, and frowned: "It can't be such a coincidence, right? We should have concealed it pretty well. Even if the enemy comes to attack, according to General Niu's military order, they will be back for support in half a day."

"madness!"

Li Jue turned back without hesitation: "Now that General Niu is attacking Wubao, you are at a time when the flames of war are in full swing. Will he abandon King Hongnong and come to help?"

"This"

Li Meng was stunned speechless.

Li Jue snorted coldly: "A fake is a fake, no matter how well it is concealed, it is still a fake. If the enemy fails to see through, it's fine, but once they see through, catastrophe is bound to happen."

"Li Meng!"

Li Jue stared at the other party with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "Now you are only the commander of the army, so you don't need to worry about these things, but you will eventually lead the army alone. If you are so lucky again, it will be a disaster for the entire army."

Uh.
Li Meng was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow his hands: "The general will remember."

Li Jue didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, so he asked instead, "Have you checked the defensive equipment such as the rocking stone and the rolling log?"

Li Meng nodded and nodded: "Don't worry, captain, everything has been checked."

"Has the light and dark whistle been released?"

"It's been thrown out."

"it is good."

Li Jue nodded: "You go to patrol the city."

Li Meng cupped his hands: "No."

Just as he turned to leave.

suddenly.

There was a long sound from outside the tent:
"Report~~~"

Li Jue looked up.

but see
The curtain was raised, and a soldier broke in from the outside. He looked a little flustered, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Lieutenant Li, it's a disaster. A large number of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the pass, and they are currently advancing rapidly towards the Zongguan pass."

"what?"

Li Meng was taken aback for a moment, his eyes staring like a bell.

He seemed to be in disbelief that when Zengguan was short of troops, there was really a group of soldiers who dared to attack the city.

However.
When he turned his head to look at Li Jue, he saw that Li Jue's expression was just startled, and then he returned to normal: "How many soldiers and horses does the other party have?"

The soldiers clasped their hands: "About five to 6000 people."

Li Meng's throat rolled, and his brain buzzed: "How many? Five, 6000 people? Isn't there only less than 2000 people? Did you make a mistake?"

"To shut up!"

Li Jue stopped sternly, and his eyes were piercing: "You can see how many troops there are on the other side as soon as you go to the city. You wait to beat the drums as a warning, and the whole army must be assembled, so there must be no mistakes."

Li Meng hurriedly cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "No."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull and rhythmic beating of drums sounded.

Soon.

Xiliang Xiaoqi gathered at the top of the city, and hundreds of strong bows and crossbows pointed downward.

Li Jue was wearing a firm and sharp-edged sword, his eyes swept across the neatly arranged army formations below, and he couldn't help feeling blatant in his heart.

really!

This force will not be less than 5000 people.

And the word "Zhang" on the big flag erected under the city is Zhang Liao who had betrayed the prime minister at Zhiyuanguan before.

This proves that the army under the city does belong to King Hongnong, but it is far from the 2000 people in the intelligence.

"Fuck!"

Li Jue swears secretly.

The current situation is more dangerous than expected.

It is impossible for the four hundred defenders to stop the attack of ten times the enemy.

Li Jue didn't dare to hesitate, and directly ordered: "Hurry up and burn the smoke as a warning."

Li Meng was surprised: "Ah, why are you burning cigarettes now? Doesn't that expose the emptiness of our military city's defenses?"

Li Jue stared at the other party: "Stop talking nonsense, go!"

Li Meng nodded: "No."

Since Zhang Liao had led his troops here, it proved that he had seen through the suspects.

Now Fenyan, with all his strength, can last longer, otherwise, once Fenyan is engaged in a battle, the city gate will be breached before the smoke rises.

Li Jue is very aware of this.

Therefore, there was no need for him to cover up any more, and he simply warned Niu Fu to come back as soon as possible.

After all, the importance of Zongguan is also self-evident, and Niu Fu has his own concerns.

At the moment when the wolf smoke rose.

under the city.

Xun Yu twirled his beard with a faint smile, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Wen Yuan, you can rest assured this time, Zongguan is empty, you can rest assured to attack boldly, the harder we fight, the less pressure your Highness will have."

Zhang Liao nodded humbly: "The smoke was burned before the battle, the troops in the city are probably pitifully small, don't worry, military commander, I promise to let them learn how powerful we are."

Xun Yu nodded, "That's very good."

Zhang Liao waved his hand: "The three armies obey the order and attack the city~~~"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
In an instant, the sky-shaking golden drum sounded.

Soldiers like a sea tide, carrying a simple ladder, rushed towards the pass.

The arrows shot down from the top of the city were sparse, and they couldn't suppress the torrent of attacking the city at all, and even a little ripple never appeared.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao became more determined, and his previous speculation was verified again.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of ladders were set up under the city, and the soldiers were like wild wolves, carrying weapons and rushing up, howling, as if the arrows were not shooting down from their heads, but raindrops.

but
Rao is so smooth.

Zhang Liao also did not relax his vigilance.

His gaze was always fixed on the top of the Zongguan city, and the opponent's general commanded well. The use of rocks and rolling logs was quite efficient, and he could hit the vital points every time, disrupting the attacking rhythm of the soldiers.

"Li Jue really deserves to be a Xiliang warrior."

Even the mighty general Zhang Liao couldn't help but praise him with emotion.

"Li Jue?"

Xun Yu pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and looked up at the fierce general commanding the battle at the head of the city: "It turns out that this person is Li Jue, the brave general under Dong Zhuo's command, second only to Lu Bu?"

"Ah."

Zhang Liao nodded and smiled: "It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is suspicious by nature. Even if Li Jue is good at fighting, he can only take orders from Niu Fu."

"in this case."

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Liao: "Niu Fu led the army to leave Zongguan, which is good news for us."

"That's right!"

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement: "Although Li Jue is a general, he has few soldiers in his hands. Niu Fu is really a fool, but he controls thousands of troops. Such a good opportunity is really good."

suddenly.

Zhang Liao seemed to realize something, his eyes brightened, and he cupped his fists towards Xun Yu: "Don't worry, military commander, Liao will go into battle in person and set an example for the whole army, and he will win Zongguan in the shortest possible time."

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "If the general can do this, our army will be united with sincerity, and the small pass will be broken."

Immediately.

Zhang Liao got off his horse, took out an iron halberd from under the saddle, and shouted sharply, "Where is Zhu Tong?"

Zhu Tong took a step forward, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "The end is here."

"From now on, you will oversee the army. I, Zhang Liao, will no longer be the chief general, but a siege soldier. If there is a shortage of soldiers in front, I will immediately send someone to make up for it. I will not stop until I take down Zongguan."

"promise."

"brothers."

Zhang Liao held up the iron halberd in his hand and shouted sharply, "Follow me and attack Zongguan!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill~~~"
