Chapter 61 Ready to Go
When Lü Meng returned to the city, he immediately summoned Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other generals for discussion. As soon as everyone arrived, Lü Meng said sternly: "Everyone must have seen what happened today. The Jiangdong surrender troops under the city today could be concealed, but they could not be concealed for a while.
It won't last forever. If we can't think of a way, the morale of the army will be in chaos as time goes by, and we will definitely die by then. Everyone on the left and right will die, so I decided to use the previous method, leading the army to sneak attack in the middle of the night when they were not paying attention. After all, they
They have been attacking for so long and are stronger than us. I would never have thought that we would dare to leave the city and attack them secretly."
Ling Cao, Chen Wu, and Pan Zhang looked at each other and felt that they could only take one risk for the present plan: "Let the governor make the decision in everything."
Lu Meng slapped the case heavily and shouted: "Okay, this matter is settled."
"Chen Wu listens to the order. I will leave 700 elite soldiers and the remaining civilians to you to defend the city. Pan Zhang and Lingcao will follow me to attack the camp."
The three of them clasped their fists and responded in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders."
"Okay, now let's go get ready."
"like"
The three of them said goodbye to Lu Meng and went back to prepare for the dispatch of troops. After these days of defending the city, Jiangdong's army also suffered a lot of damage. The number of active regular troops now is only about 2,700. As for the other civilians, it may be okay to defend the city.
, as for a sneak attack, there is no hope at all.
It is said that after Liu Xun returned to camp angrily, he used his simple mind to think hard for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. Distraught, he called Gan Ning and others and ordered: "As usual, beware of enemy sneak attacks at any time."
Gan Ning left in response. Although he received Liu Xun's military order, Gan Ning did not realize the meaning of this military order. After so many days, if he defended himself tightly every day, the army would be exhausted. Gan Ning subconsciously thought
I don’t think Lü Meng’s few soldiers and horses would dare to attack them. If it’s okay to defend the city, wouldn’t it be courting death if he really dared to leave the city?
After Gan Ning passed down Liu Xun's military order, the generals of the various armies basically had the same idea as Gan Ning, and they basically just nodded and agreed on the surface.
Naturally, Tieniu also received Liu Xun's military orders. But Tieniu was a simple and honest man who did not understand and was lazy. He respected Liu Xun like a god. In his mind, he always believed that as long as the military order was issued by his lord, it must be followed.
His meaning must be persisted no matter how hard it is.
Therefore, among all the camps, only his battalion was seriously and well-defended. Like Gan Ning, they had not taken it seriously for a long time. They gave a hasty explanation and then fell asleep. After all, they had won many battles, and their self-confidence naturally increased.
It was overwhelming. At this time, Jiang Dongjun was nothing in their hearts, and they didn't have the vigilance in their hearts at all.
As night fell, it soon came to the second watch. In the dark night, Lv Meng inspected the city wall at the top of the city and told Chen Wuding, who was responsible for night patrol of the city, to be careful and alert, then he rode back to the prefect's mansion.
At this time, Ling Cao and Pan Zhang were already sitting in the hall, waiting for Lu Meng to return.
However, this time, when Lu Meng stepped into the hall, they did not ask whether the sneak attack could succeed tonight, because there was no need to ask anymore. Success or failure was tonight, and this was the decision Lu Meng made.
Regardless of success or failure, there will be no war tomorrow. Because no matter who wins, only one person will stand on top of this city tomorrow.
"Are you ready?" Lu Meng asked in a deep voice.
"I'm already impatient." Pan Zhang and Ling Cao replied at the same time, with a look of impatience on their brows.
"It's good if you have anger in your heart. This way, the murderous intent that bursts out will be even greater. The fact that you can have anger in your heart proves that our chances of winning tonight will be better." Lu Meng was not surprised but was happy when he saw this.
, said with a smile.
"Captain, please stop teasing us." Ling Cao and Pan Zhang said helplessly.
"This is not a joke, this is the truth." Lu Meng shook his head and said seriously. The courage of one general can be carried out by the entire army.
If you are impatient in your heart, your soldiers will be impatient, and your explosive power will be stronger. This is how strong generals are used to lead troops in battle.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Meng said solemnly. "We are on our own tonight. I have already set up a banquet, but each person can only drink one glass of wine to warm up. Eat and drink enough, recharge your batteries, and serve your lord."
Clean up the dog thief Liu Xun."
"Thank you, Commander." Pan Zhang Lingcao said, cupping his fists.
Immediately afterwards, Lü Meng held a banquet in the hall, asked the soldiers to prepare a cup of hot wine, and personally handed it to them to drink. After that, Lü Meng ate and drank with them.
Lu Meng said in a deep voice. "In the past few days, news has been constantly reaching my ears. I have estimated that Liu Xun's army is exhausted from fighting. In addition, they were so powerful during the day that tonight,
We must be lax. Our night attack has a 50% chance of success, and the remaining 50% depends on God's will."
When it was about half an hour before dawn, Lu Menngling and Pan Zhang had their hearts set on the battlefield.
This battle is related to their life and death.
Lu Meng looked at Pan Zhang Lingcao's majestic back and said to himself: "With such a general, there is no need to worry about failure to accomplish great things."
At this moment, a full two thousand elite soldiers were entrenched in front of the city gate, waiting for Lu Meng's general order.
When Lu Meng arrived slowly on a horse and wearing armor as black as ink, the soldiers were even impatient to wait.
I watched the city being attacked in vain for several days, watched each and every one of them injured and fell to the ground, and waited for several days. It was so suffocating.
Lu Meng rode his horse to the front of the soldiers step by step. In the silent night, the crisp sound of horse hooves was so loud.
When Lu Meng came to the front, he turned his horse's head, met the eyes of the soldiers, and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Liu Xun has been attacking the city for several days, and his soldiers have suffered countless casualties. They are all fighting side by side with Pao Ze. Watching them bleed to death, you must be holding a breath of anger in your hearts. Tonight is the time to vent, then we will cut down Liu Xun in one go.
, after saying this, Lu Meng was a qualified commander, and he understood the thoughts of the soldiers. This simple sentence completely ignited the hearts of the soldiers.
Because of the night attack, the soldiers did not make any sound. But their bright eyes were so dazzling in the dark night.
The momentum reached its peak almost instantly.
"kill."
"Beat Liu Xun"
The soldiers roared in their hearts.
Although these days gave Lu Meng bad memories, the army led by Liu Xun also left a deep impression on Lu Meng.
Lü Meng knew that if both sides led the same number of soldiers to fight in the wilderness, Lü Meng was confident that he would be able to defeat Liu Xun. However, his number was too small, and it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
"Gently lower the suspension bridge and let's set off." After taking a deep breath, Lu Meng ordered.
