"Then I have nothing to do with it. The lord's order has been conveyed. I have to go back and resume my orders. Generals, do it well, do it well!"
Liu Ba showed a cheeky smile, then got up and left!
"Captain, how can we break this chain when it's so thick?" Gan Ning scratched his head and asked after Liu Ba left.
Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao and said, "Yes, this huge boulder is resting in the shallows. The more we dig, the deeper it sinks and becomes stronger. There is no way."
Cai Mao sat where Liu Ba had just sat and replied angrily, "How do I know how to break it?"
It's true that he wanted to make great achievements, but if he were to break the iron chain across the river, Pang Tong and Liu Ba probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it, right?
In Yuzhang City, Zhou Yu was arranging an important task for Ling Tong.
"Gongji, I will give you two thousand warriors. Do you dare to attack Liu Cong's camp tonight?"
Ling Tong asked in disbelief, "Commander, do you mean to imitate Liu Cong in attacking Cao Ying?"
Zhou Yu nodded, "Exactly. However, I don't have three thousand black armored cavalry for you. I can only give you two thousand warriors. Whether you can escape back depends on God's will."
Ling Tong smiled boldly and said, "Commander, just give the last general five hundred men. Why let so many brothers follow me to die?"
"Captain, I am willing to go with Gongzhi!"
"The general is also willing to go with us!"
The ones asking for life are Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng!
"Okay, I'm very pleased that Youping and Wenxiang have this intention. You can go with Gongzhi. I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"
Late at night, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng led five hundred warriors and quietly came down from the city wall.
Along the way, they managed to avoid Liu Jun's scouts and finally got close to Liu Jun's camp.
Lying on the ground, Zhou Tai asked Ling Tong, "Gongji, shall we rush in directly?"
"That's natural!"
"Wait a minute."
Xu Sheng looked at these two reckless men and hurriedly stopped him, "What effect can we have if we just rush in with such a small number of people?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Sneak in and light fires everywhere!"
If Ling Tong and Zhou Tai were reckless men, Xu Sheng was the wise general.
In history, Xu Sheng was the third firebrand besides Zhou Yu and Lu Xun! During the entire Three Kingdoms period, only he and Zhang Liao were supported by the monarch!
Ling Tong looked at the camp and said, "This camp is full of patrolling soldiers, how can you get in?"
Xu Sheng thought for a while and said, "People always get sleepy sometimes. Wait until midnight, and there may not be no chance!"
"Then just do what Wen Xiang said."
"The three of us take turns monitoring Liu Jun in the camp, and take a break as soon as possible."
"good."
After Yin Shi, the soldiers on the camp wall changed their shifts.
"Shift change!"
"Ah, I'm so sleepy." The leader, Dub, stretched himself and gave a hunch.
Dub, who took over, asked, "Is everything okay?"
"What can happen? Those rats in Jiangdong are just shy. Do they dare to come out from hiding in the city?"
"Hahaha……"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"good."
There were about fifty people guarding the wall of the camp. Dub, who took over, inspected the area and then leaned against the pillars of the archery tower. "Brothers, I'll take a nap first. You guys are keeping an eye on me."
"Don't worry, head."
After the leader Dub fell asleep, several soldiers whispered, "My heads are already asleep, let's take a nap too?"
"Fart, what if the Wu army in the city rushes out? Is this worthy of my lord's salary?"
"Outside the camp, there are scout brothers patrolling, and there are six trenches. Can the Wu army rush in?"
"That's right, do they dare to come out?"
After a while, except for a few soldiers who were still on guard, the others were all lying down!
How should we describe human beings? The brain knows what is good for itself and what is right. However, the body is unwilling to act or implement it.
Liu Cong is indeed good to his soldiers, but it is a pity that people always slack off. Or at this time when he almost crushes the opponent, who is not proud? How many can hold back and face Wu Jun?
"Gongji, Wen Xiang. Wake up! Almost all the enemy troops are asleep!" Zhou Tai, who was watching, quickly woke up Ling Tong and Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up and said, "Sure enough, when they are at an advantage, most people will slack off."
"One, two, three, four...seven. There are still seven people patrolling above. What should we do?" Ling Tong counted how many people were left.
Xu Sheng said, "First remove the hook from the rope, pull the person off, and try not to make any noise."
Dozens of Wu troops came forward quickly. Some were squatting by the wall, while others were dangling ropes in preparation.
"call out!"
Almost at the same moment, it hit the neck of Sergeant Liu on the camp wall!
"enemy……"
Sergeant Liu could not utter a word, and he and his weapons were all pulled under the wall.
Wu Jun, who was squatting by the wall, caught them and slowly placed them on the ground. Apart from the chirping of crickets, there was almost no other sound!
"It's done!" Xu Sheng roared excitedly.
"Youping, lead the people to climb up first! Kill all the people on top!"
"good."
One by one, Wu Jun emerged from the darkness and climbed up the camp wall illuminated by fire. Unfortunately, no one in Liu Jun, who was sleeping soundly, noticed that anyone was coming up.
Zhou Tai made a gesture, and Wu Jun who climbed up quickly took action, holding a dagger, covering the sleeping Liu Jun's mouth, and neatly harvested the life.
Zhou Tai climbed up the arrow tower, killed the uncle, and then gestured to Xu Sheng and Ling Tong outside.
"What to do next?" Zhou Tai asked Xu Sheng after everyone came up.
Xu Sheng shook his head, "I don't know. Let's take a look in the camp first. It would be best if we could get close to Liu Cong's Chinese army tent."
"That's all it can do."
In the camp late at night, most of the soldiers were asleep, and except for the small patrol of soldiers, almost no one was active.
The people in Jiangdong slowly and cautiously moved forward towards the Chinese army. In the empty camp, five hundred of them were able to move forward unimpeded!
"Moo!"
"I……"
"Shh!"
An elephant's roar frightened Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng's eyes quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Ordinary soldiers hold small sticks in their mouths and just grit their teeth when encountering problems. The three generals have some different privileges.
"What is this?" Ling Tong stared blankly at the elephant in the fence.
Zhou Tai's mouth was released, "Isn't this too big? Liu Cong's army still has this thing. Then if our army goes out of the city to fight in the field, won't it be inevitable?"
Xu Sheng sneered, "Whatever, I suddenly had a good idea!"
Not many people recognize elephants at this time, but just such a huge body is enough to intimidate people!
"What's the idea?"
"Most creatures are afraid of fire. Let's light a fire and throw it in, and let these behemoths attack Liu Cong's camp on their own!"
"What a brilliant idea!"
"There are fodder nearby. Throw them all into the fence, and then throw the torch in. We will run back along the same path. Whether we can escape or not depends on God's will."
