Ji Han Liu Zhang

There was no light from the stars and the moon, and the surrounding fields were dim. When the time came to an end, Pu An, who was stationed at the Western Camp at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, fell into a half-sleep. He really couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness, but He didn't dare to go back to the tent to rest, so he could only stand up straight and doze off with his spear in hand.

In the hazy sleep, Pu An seemed to hear a rustling sound coming into his ears. He didn't pay attention to it. He only thought it was the sound made by the night activities of snakes, insects, rats and ants. There was no doubt that his Pu An was there. With his head buried and his eyes closed, he actually snored slightly while standing.

Unfortunately, sleeping while standing up is inconvenient. Moreover, it is very windy and cold at night. A gust of cold wind blows from time to time, sweeping away the heat from Pu An's body. His skin texture is irritated, and his sleepiness is brought away by the cold wind. Then, the whole person woke up from being half asleep and got rid of the heavy sleepiness.

Pu An woke up and opened his hazy eyes. He opened his eyelids with difficulty, and what he saw was a group of human-shaped black shadows outside the fence. This group of black shadows moved the antlers in front of the fence. The black shadows moved very quickly, in an instant. He came to the fence in time.

"Huh?" Pu An, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, was still confused. He tilted his head and looked at the black shadow trying to bring down the fence, and listened to the bursts of armor friction due to the black shadow's large movements. Sha sound.

Pu An suddenly woke up with a start. As a battle-hardened man, he was too sensitive to the sound of armor scraping, as if he had been summoned to react instinctively. He shouted sharply: "Enemy attack! "

"Enemy attack!!!"

Pu An shouted loudly, conveying the signal of the sneak attack by the Shu soldiers, and at the same time called out a few sleepy night watchmen near him. Tonight, not only him, but also the people near him, the Shu soldiers had been waiting for several days. In the absence of any action, they had a somewhat relaxed mentality. They gave up staying up all night to patrol, and instead took a lazy rest with their spears in hand. As a result, the Shu soldiers easily approached them.

"Get up, everyone, get up." Pu An shouted loudly, and picked up a gong from his waist and struck it, making a golden sound.

Just when Pu An shouted, the incoming Shu soldiers gave up their previous slight movement. Now that they had been exposed, it was impossible to quietly open a gap in the Hanzhong camp, so Gan Ning He signaled the soldiers under the tent to increase their strength, no longer caring about the range of their movements, and vigorously cut down the fence erected by the Hanzhong ghost soldiers.

Gan Ning's men were all brave men, and the axes they used were also highly skilled in Shu. They waved the giant axes without hesitation, and most of the roots of the log fence where the Hanzhong ghost soldiers stood were cut off in just a few strokes. Slashing the giant ax, he tried to kick down the fence with his feet.

The log, which had most of its root cut off, was already swaying precariously. Under Gan Ning's tent's son's strong kick, the fence could not keep its upright shape, and clanged towards Pu An. Fall in the direction you are in.

Pu An had already taken a few steps back and called his companions to his side, holding up their spears together to block the gap in the camp.

At this moment, the Hanzhong Camp woke up from their sleep due to Pu An's warnings. However, once they woke up from their deep sleep, most of the people were a little confused. Their actions could not be as smooth as flowing water, and they could not be the first to do so. When Shi stood up, put on his armor and lined up in formation, he went out of the tent. The stars and the moon were dim tonight, the lights were dim, he couldn't see his fingers, and there were many noises around him. The movements of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were unavoidable and panicked.

……

"How brave, dare to block Naigong's way." After Gan Ning fell to the ground with a thump on the fence, he stepped into the Hanzhong camp. He looked at Pu An, who was holding a spear and preparing to attack, and where Pu An was. A group of night watchmen said disdainfully.

Pu An had no intention of responding. He stepped forward with his spear and motioned to his companions to charge with him, intending to squeeze the Shu soldiers who came to attack through the gap in the camp. As a soldier on night watch, he was sneaked close to the camp by Shu soldiers quietly, and he had to bear a lot of blame. At this time, he could only make amends and use the heads of Shu soldiers to make up for his fault.

"Brothers, follow me and charge." Pu An, who took a step forward, shouted, both as an order and as a strong language to boost morale.

"Hmph." Gan Ning showed disdain. He clenched the ring-shou sword in his hand, and as a general, he took the lead to greet him. Since he was a wanderer in Bajun when he was young, he has been wandering around the rivers and lakes. He has been fighting almost every month. He is an experienced warrior and is very familiar with battlefield fighting.

As Gan Ning stepped forward, Pu An and others pointed the tips of their spears at Gan Ning's figure, thinking that they would all hand out their spears and dig hundreds of holes into Gan Ning to deal with them first. This man who seemed to be the most brave and fearless among the Shu soldiers suppressed the morale of the Shu soldiers.

But the wishes of Pu An and others failed. In the dark night, the lights were dim, and the light and shadow swayed with the cold wind. Gan Ning's figure was like a ghost. He disappeared from the front of the spear tip accumulated by Pu An and others and appeared at the tip of the spear. On one side of his hand, he raised the ring-headed sword high and swung it down like a stick. With a few bang sounds, the spear tips used by Pu An and others fell to the ground one after another, causing them to be frightened. The Shu soldiers who were leading the way were so powerful in martial arts, their bodies flashed like gods and ghosts, and the rings they used The first sword was also sharp and sharp, and all their spears were cut off by the Shu soldier with one blow.

'Good knife. After Gan Ning cut off the spearheads of Pu An and others, he squinted at the ring-headed sword that reflected the light and looked extremely bright in the dark night. This was brought back from Linqiong by his Ming Gong Liu Zhang. A stainless steel sword hammered out by the Pu clan of Linqiong.

"Boys, follow me." Gan Ning walked up to Pu An and others who were still in a state of fear, and greeted the Jinfan Ranger behind him. At the same time, he still had some free time to think about what he would do next. Pu family in Linqiong ordered a batch of Huanshou knives to equip his sons.

Seeing Gan Ning stepping forward, Pu An and others could not withdraw the spear with its head cut off, nor did they have time to pull out the ring-headed knife from their waists. They watched Gan Ning getting closer and closer, and his figure was in front of them. The pupils became clearer and clearer. Pu An and others made the wisest choice. They threw down the spears with broken spearheads, turned around and ran towards the camp at the rear.

Gan Ning's steps were very fast. He chased after him and swung his sword several times, cutting down a few unfortunate ghosts who were lagging behind. Then he stopped the men who wanted to chase Pu An and others, and ordered his men to take out the weapons they had prepared. Use good torches and light them to set fire to the fortress in Hanzhong.

……

Therefore, Zhang Lu, who was awakened by the nightmare and turned around but had not yet fallen asleep, saw a scene of boiling fire after leaving the tent. The tents outside the army were crackling and burning, and the flames were swept towards the dark sky by the cold wind at night. The night sky swept up, and the smoke pillars swayed with the direction of the wind. The soldiers' panicked voices were like birds that were shot by arrows, calling out without stopping.

'Damn. "Zhang Lu cursed in his heart, the first one who deserves to die is naturally Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang didn't get a good rest at night and actually sent his soldiers to sneak attack. The second one who deserved the death is the soldiers who kept watch at night. They let the Shu army secretly kill him. Entering the camp and causing such a big fuss.

At this time, Zhang Wei, Yan Pu, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others came to Zhang Lu one after another. Yan Pu was the first to speak, using his intuitive judgment as the mastermind: "Master, there is no moonlight tonight, and Shu The soldiers attacked late at night, so they must be small in number. It’s just that our army was unprepared, so the disturbance was very loud... Now we should calm down and let everyone offer wine to suppress the restless and panicked soldiers, so as not to blow up the camp. , In addition, I sent people to drive away the Shu soldiers who were setting fire to the camp. Without the disturbance caused by the Shu soldiers, the camp can naturally settle down."

"Okay." The situation was urgent, so Zhang Lu immediately ordered: "Just do as the meritor said. Gongze (Zhang Wei), you go suppress the restless soldiers in the camp. Pu Hu and Yuan Yue, you two go to expel them. Shu soldiers... I share the command with Cao Cao in commanding the central army."

"Promise." Zhang Wei, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others agreed in unison and acted according to the orders they received.
-

The next day, early in the morning.

Liu Zhang got up early. His physical condition has always been very good and he doesn't need to sleep for too long. Secondly, he has been training recently. The exercise has brought benefits, making him a little energetic and he doesn't need to sleep too much. .

At the moment, he was looking at the camp set up by Zhang Lu at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. The traces left by Gan Ning's night attack last night had not been completely eliminated. Several faint smoke pillars rose from the camp, and there was a huge spot on the camp. The soldiers in Hanzhong were working hard to repair the gap. However, the morale in Zhang Lu's camp was very low after a night of panic. The patrolling soldiers seemed to have no strength.

"Xingba, you did a good job." Liu Zhang turned around and praised Gan Ning. Although he had not slept all night, Gan Ning looked good, his eyes were bright, and there was no trace of tiredness on his face.

Hearing Liu Zhang's praise, Gan Ning felt a little depressed: "It's a pity that he only disturbed the rice thieves, and he never had any achievements in killing generals or capturing flags."

Fazhengyan smiled and said: "Xingba, what happened last night was enough to frighten the rice thief Zhang Lu, which is already a great achievement... We still need to break Zhang Lu's camp and pacify the counties in Hanzhong, but there is no need to worry about the lack of merit. "

"That's true." Gan Ning's depressed mood went away as quickly as it came, and his expression became bright again.

Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Lu's camp at the foot of the mountain. He felt that the morale of Zhang Lu's army was a little low due to the night attack, so he spoke up and suggested: "Ming Gong, when the sergeants of Zhang Lu's army are tired, send troops down the mountain to attack Zhang Lu." Lu camp."

"Yes." Naturally, Liu Zhang would not let Zhang Lu have a chance to rest and recuperate. He fired his general and called Lou Fa to the front: "Zichu, it's up to you to go down the mountain and attack Zhang Lu's camp." (This chapter. over)
