Chapter 544 Zhang Fei's Complaint!

Gan Ning shouted and chased after him.

Zhou Yu wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time.

In the distance, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan also saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Miao Moqing was in the camp, so the four of them didn't worry about anything.

There were tens of thousands of troops following the four.

After Huang Zhong saw that these people were led away by Zhang He, he immediately took Xu Rong to kill and rushed into the camp.

Miao Moqing saw this scene and turned around and left directly. She had no obligation to stay to protect the camp.

All of Huang Zhong's actions were carried out according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, and the purpose was very simple, just for the leader of the Gu tribe.

Zhuge Liang had calculated everything, even who Zhang He would fight with and who would chase him out, but he didn't expect that the leader of the Gu tribe had no intention of defending at all, but ran away directly.

Huang Zhong searched for a long time in Cao's camp, but he didn't see Miao Moqing, and even the Gu tribe didn't see her.

The four people who chased out also found that something happened in the camp, and saw that Zhang He had already led people into the city, so they went back to the camp directly.

At this time, Huang Zhong's sneak attack ended, and he returned to the city from another direction.

This action was a failure for both sides.

Zhou Yu suffered losses, and Huang Zhong's goal was not achieved. After Miao Moqing saw from a distance that the camp was fine, he slowly walked back with the Gu tribe.

"Chief, what do you mean? Why did you give up the defense of the camp and run away? Do you know that cowardice will be punished by death?"

Zhou Yu looked at Miao Moqing with murderous intent in his eyes, and even Cao Ren and others on the side looked at him unkindly at this time.

The chief of the Gu tribe was originally from Sun Jian's camp. Although they were allied forces, they had their own masters after all. It was natural that people in Cao Cao's camp could not say anything about the affairs of Sun Jian's camp.

But they didn't say it, which didn't mean they didn't have anger. If there was no perfect explanation, there would be a gap between the two sides in future battles.

The four coalition forces, together, could suppress Liu Bei. Once they dispersed, they would definitely give Liu Bei the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

We must not ruin the coalition's big plan because of this small matter.

Zhou Yu thought a lot. In the current situation, he had to stand up and take the lead in blaming Miao Moqing. He only hoped that Miao Moqing could give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Miao Moqing did not disappoint Zhou Yu's expectations.

"Generals, the people coming from the other side are Huang Zhong and Xu Rong, two famous generals under Liu Bei. I am only one person, and I think everyone should know what my combat ability is. Do you want to turn this place into a cemetery? Or do you want the remaining tens of thousands of troops to be buried with Huang Zhong and others?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment.

Although they also wanted to say that it was not impossible to exchange the lives of Huang Zhong and Xu Rong with tens of thousands of troops, there were still many soldiers around. If they heard it, they would definitely have other ideas in their hearts. Who would fight for them on the battlefield?

"Forget it, let's just forget about this matter. Anyway, our losses are not big, but it's a bit embarrassing."

Cao Ren waved his hand and didn't say anything.

"Okay, everyone, get ready. We will attack the city early tomorrow morning. We must take Huarong within two days."

After Huang Zhong returned to Huarong, he saw Zhang He coming over.

"Old general, where have you been? Why didn't I see you after I came back?"

Huang Zhong sighed helplessly and handed Zhuge Liang's brocade bag to Zhang He.

After Zhang He looked at it for a few times, he looked at Huang Zhong in confusion.

"Old General, did you succeed?"

"If we succeeded, would we be so sad? Who knows, the leader of the Gu tribe ran away when we rushed in, and they had no intention of defending the camp at all."

After Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, he said nothing more and sat directly on the main seat. He had a hunch that Zhou Yu would start attacking the city tomorrow.

At Chou time.

Zhou Yu led a large group of people and slowly approached the wall of Huarong.

However, the soldiers guarding the city of Huarong seemed to be asleep.

Zhou Yu looked at the direction of the wall in confusion. Normally, Liu Bei's military discipline should be very good. It would be impossible to achieve such a high combat effectiveness without good military discipline. They had already sneaked under the wall, why didn't Huang Zhong and his men react?

When Zhou Yu was puzzled, Cao's army had already set up the siege ladder.

Just as Cao's soldiers were climbing up the siege ladder, Huang Zhong's voice suddenly rang out.

"Do it."

As the voice fell, countless arrows rained down, and rolling stones and wooden beams rolled down from the walls.

Many Cao soldiers were crushed to death.

Zhou Yu then realized that his actions were completely expected by others.

But this made Zhou Yu even more curious. In order to prevent Liu Bei's spies in the barracks, he deliberately said that he would attack the city tomorrow, but he did not tell anyone that tomorrow was the hour of the Ox.

How did the other party know his plan?

However, the situation on the battlefield did not allow Zhou Yu to think about it carefully. At this time, Huang Zhong and Zhang He had already led people to kill.

"Gan Ning, go stop Zhang He, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, you go to deal with Huang Zhong."

Hearing Zhou Yu's order, Gan Ning was so excited that he finally didn't have to fight Huang Zhong anymore.

However, after the three rushed out, they found that it seemed that they did not have the final say on who they would choose.

Huang Zhong took the lead and faced Gan Ning directly. The other two had no choice but to face Zhang He.

"Huang Zhong, you old man, you must find me, I will kill you today."

Gan Ning directly summoned 18 black shadows and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong took out the Red Blood Knife. As soon as the two sides fought, the Red Blood Knife was replenished, and Huang Zhong began to fight more and more bravely.

With the bonus of the Red Blood Knife increasing the attack power by 300%, Gan Ning was suppressed as soon as he came up.

In contrast, Zhang He had some troubles.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were both famous generals, and their overall strength was no less than Zhang He. Every collision between the two sides was a heavy blow to Zhang He and the Five Tiger Soul-breaking Spear.

After resisting Cao Ren's offensive, Xiahou Yuan's attack came one after another before he could catch his breath.

At this critical moment, a strong wind appeared behind Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan immediately turned sideways.

An arrow passed by him, leaving a white mark on his armor.

The person who shot the arrow was Huang Zhong.

Gan Ning felt humiliated when he saw this.

Huang Zhong could still distract himself to support Zhang He when fighting with him, so he would be a waste.

"Old man, you are too much!"

Gan Ning swung the ancient ingot knife faster again, and his power became stronger.

But this was not a problem for Huang Zhong.

Just as Zhou Yu was commanding Cao's army to attack the city, a group of people rushed directly into Cao's army from the rear.

Hearing the chaos in the rear, Zhou Yu turned around and looked behind him, just in time to see Zhang Liao rushing over from a distance, and none of the Cao army along the way could stop Zhang Liao.

"Kill Zhang Liao and get a reward of 10,000."

Zhou Yu knew that he was definitely not Zhang Liao's opponent, and the soldiers in Yangzhong were all afraid of Zhang Liao, the evil star.

There must be brave men under a heavy reward. Several first-rate and second-rate generals bravely rushed directly to Zhang Liao.

However, after just one round of fighting between the two sides, two first-rate generals and three second-rate generals fell off their horses.

The people around were all terrified. Now, let alone giving them 10,000 gold, even if they were given 100,000 gold, they would not dare to go up. After all, no matter how much gold, they still have to live to spend.

Seeing Zhang Liao rushing towards him directly, no one around him stopped him, and behind Zhang Liao, there were more than a thousand Yanyun Eighteen Riders. Under the blessing of the desperate battle, each of the Yanyun Eighteen Riders used the level of a first-rate general.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to draw his sword rain to fight Zhang Liao.

However, after only twenty rounds, the sword in Zhou Yu's hand was knocked down.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao laughed triumphantly, and chopped Zhou Yu's neck with the Huanglong hook sickle in his hand.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

At this moment, a Fang Tian Huaji suddenly appeared and directly interrupted the attack of the Huanglong hook sickle.

Zhang Liao was shocked by the power above and took a few steps back, looking at the person who blocked him.

"Cao Zhang, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Haha, Zhang Liao, do you think we don't know that you have left Zhijiang? I followed you all the way."

Seeing Cao Zhang coming, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly retreated. He didn't intend to participate in this kind of battle.

"Come on, let me see what kind of ability you Zhang Liao have."

Through the fight just now, Cao Zhang knew in his heart that he couldn't take Zhang Liao, and of course Zhang Liao couldn't take him either.

Now he can only delay time, or Zhou Yu will succeed in attacking the city, or Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren will get rid of Zhang He and come to assist him.

However, Cao Zhang's calculations were good, but he forgot Gan Ning's current situation.

Of the eighteen black shadows, only four remained, and Gan Ning already had some wounds on his body. Although they were not very deep, they would affect his combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Red Blood Sword in Huang Zhong's hand had turned golden, which could be said to be the strongest state of the Red Blood Sword.

In this state, Huang Zhong could only maintain it for an hour at most.

Seeing Huang Zhong rushing towards him, Gan Ning immediately commanded his few black shadows to stop him.

However, these black shadows were defeated by Huang Zhong before they lasted three rounds.

In desperation, Gan Ning could only rush forward and fight with Huang Zhong.

After Zhang He blocked Cao Ren's knife, Xiahou Yuan's attack arrived before he had time to catch his breath.

In desperation, Zhang He could only swing his knife to block again.

This huge force directly knocked Zhang He off his horse.

After falling to the ground, Zhang He was about to stand up when he saw Cao Ren rushing in front of him.

Zhang He simply didn't stand up and rolled on the ground.

Although the action was not very elegant, at least he could avoid Cao Ren's attack.

Zhang He finally stood up from the ground and saw Xiahou Yuan rushing over.

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Don't panic, Junyi, I'm here to help you!"

Huang Zhong's voice fell, and the golden red blood knife directly blocked the knife in Xiahou Yuan's hand.

"Huang Zhong?"

Seeing Huang Zhong appear, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly looked at Gan Ning's original position.

At this time, there was no trace of Gan Ning.

"No need to look for him, he has already run away."

After Gan Ning saw that his shadow was solved by Huang Zhong, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

However, Gan Ning, who had no skill bonus, could not be Huang Zhong's opponent. After only 20 rounds, Gan Ning had an extra wound on his body.

Seeing this, Gan Ning no longer hesitated and turned around and ran.

Huang Zhong immediately prepared to chase him, but he happened to see Zhang He being knocked to the ground. He knew in his heart that if he aimed at Gan Ning with the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow, Gan Ning would definitely die, but Zhang He would also die at the same time.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Zhong could only give up and watched Gan Ning leave, while he helped Zhang He block the fatal blow.

Zhou Yu in the back saw Gan Ning running back with injuries, and knew that Gan Ning had lost.

Gan Ning's departure instantly turned them from being in an advantageous position to being at a disadvantage.

"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops."

Zhou Yu made a direct decision.

Seeing Cao's army retreat, Huang Zhong and his men did not pursue them. Now there were still two days before the four-day mission, and they needed to save more manpower.

After Cao's army completely left the battlefield, Huang Zhong and his men did not go back to rest, but began to command everyone on the battlefield to gather the corpses together and pour the kerosene they had saved before on the corpses.

Looking at the fire all over the sky, Huang Zhong sighed. He was a little confused. It is said that the dead are the greatest, so why would Sun Jian be so mean and think of using the dead.

Miao Moqing in the camp frowned immediately when she saw this.

Without the corpse, her role would be greatly reduced. It seems that Huang Zhong and his men have found some of their weaknesses.

However, this solution can be said to hurt the enemy 1,000 and hurt oneself 800. Burning corpses will seriously disturb the soldiers' minds, and it will also waste a lot of kerosene. This kerosene is a weapon for defending the city. Without kerosene, there are only things like rocks and logs.

The front-line army.

The entire battle situation of Huarong, as well as detailed intelligence, have been in Gu Rubing's hands.

At this time, Gu Rubing, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who had just returned, were all in the county governor's mansion.

Zhang Fei muttered softly after seeing the intelligence.

"Brother, I told you at the beginning that you couldn't let those two guys go back, but you didn't listen. Now something has happened. If it weren't for Cao Zhang, Wen Yuan would have come back with Zhou Yu's head."

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu immediately stopped Zhang Fei and glared at him.

"It was the Prime Minister and my brother who decided to release them. Do you think you are more powerful than the Prime Minister and my brother?"

Although Guan Yu didn't know why he had to release them, he knew that as long as it was a joint decision by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, it would definitely not be wrong.
