"Let me tell you what Yuan Zhi has planned." Yan Liang suddenly became very interested.
Xu Shu moved his seat closer and told Yan Liang his plan.
As Yan Liang listened, a hint of secrecy quietly appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he nodded: "I like this plan, it is bold enough, it must be very spectacular when you think about it, very good, I will act according to your plan Yuan Zhi."
The two principals and ministers decided on a plan that day.
The next day, Yan Liang summoned Zhang He, Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang and gave them secret strategies respectively.
And that night, Hu Che'er led hundreds of troops and began to implement the first step of Xu Shu's plan.
That night, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and the night was gloomy. Hu Che'er led more than 300 men and horses and "sneakily" reached near the north gate of Jiangling.
Hu Che'er didn't want to launch a sneak attack.
Yan Liang's strong attack in the past few days had forced Liu Qi to be frightened all day long. He arranged for more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops to be stationed at the top of the city, sleeping in their clothes every night, just for fear of Yan Liang launching a sudden attack.
At this time, there were about two thousand Jingzhou troops at the north gate city, lying under the parapet, holding their weapons and falling asleep. As long as Hu Cheer made the slightest movement, these soldiers would wake up immediately and launch a counterattack.
.
Hu Che'er glanced at the enemy city, grinned sneer, and made a gesture with his hand.
The three hundred soldiers were busy unloading the items they were carrying.
Those things were not weapons or tools for climbing the city, but cowhide drums and gongs.
"Brothers, give Lao Duo a beating." Hu Cheer shouted.
After giving the order, hundreds of soldiers spat, rolled up their sleeves, and started beating with all their strength.
The loud sound of gongs and drums suddenly started without any warning, breaking the silence of the night in an instant.
At the same time, those specially selected soldiers with rough voices started shouting together, and the shouts of killing rose into the sky.
This sudden cry of killing shook the heaven and earth, and instantly woke up the sleeping Jingzhou soldiers at the top of the city from their sweet dreams.
"No, the enemy is coming to attack."
"Get the hell up, don't even sleep, the enemy is coming."
"Where are the crossbowmen? Get in position quickly and don't let the enemy get closer."
"Go and report to the lord. Go quickly."
…
The top of the city was in chaos for a while. The tired soldiers were first awakened by the sound of drums and gongs, and then were yelled at by the officers to cheer up. With sleepiness, they were nervously preparing to face the enemy.
These Jingzhou troops were alert. With a cup of tea, all the troops were forced to disperse their sleepiness, and all the archers and crossbowmen were in place. They were also well prepared to deal with the enemy's night attack on the city.
After a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. Liu Qi ran up to the city with a solemn look on his face.
The Jingzhou shepherd also had a look of sleepiness on his face. Apparently he had just been awakened from his dream and hurried to the city to take command.
"Where are the enemy troops?" Liu Qi asked nervously.
"It's on the southwest side. Judging from the momentum, there are at least ten thousand people."
Liu Qi glanced toward the southwest, and all he could see was the pitch-black night, with not a single human figure in sight, while the sound of war drums and shouts of death in his ears became more intense.
The night concealed the enemy's traces, but made Liu Qi even more nervous and uneasy.
However, what puzzled Liu Qi and his men was that despite hearing the loud shouts of killing, they still did not see the enemy attack.
Thousands of exhausted Jingzhou troops could only clutter in the night wind, waiting for the enemy to attack.
Half an hour later, the loud sound suddenly disappeared, and the night, which had been extremely noisy, returned to silence in an instant.
The defenders at the top of the city were all at a loss. They all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, but could no longer hear any movement.
In a daze, everyone's tense emotions gradually relaxed. They probably thought that the enemy had seen that they were on guard, so they gave up the siege and retreated on their own initiative.
Liu Qi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to relax his vigilance. He only ordered the entire army to continue to be on guard and sent scouts out of the city to conduct reconnaissance.
In the darkness of the night, Hu Che'er got on his horse and yawned: "Our mission has been completed. Let's all retreat and go back to sleep."
The three hundred soldiers quickly put away the gongs and drums, followed Hu Che'er and quietly evacuated back to the camp.
Hu Che'er's men and horses had just been unable to move forward when Jiangling's scouts galloped over. Seeing that there was no trace of the enemy, they had to turn back and report to Liu Qi.
When Liu Qi confirmed that there were no enemy troops outside the city, his nerves finally relaxed, and he ordered to lift the alert and let the soldiers continue to rest. He dragged his exhausted body back to the state capital.
The night became darker and darker, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the sky and earth became dark.
Half an hour later, another group of soldiers and horses mysteriously appeared on the east side of the northwest, and the person leading this group of soldiers and horses was none other than Zhou Cang.
They were the same three hundred soldiers, carrying the same gongs, drums and other things. As the time was almost up, Zhou Cang gave an order, and the earth-shattering gongs, drums and shouts of death suddenly started again.
At this moment, the Jingzhou army at the top of the city had just been freed from the last noise of gongs and drums, and finally fell asleep.
The noise that started again cruelly pulled them out of their dream that had not yet begun.
Thousands of drowsy soldiers had to get up from the ground, with sleepy faces even more exhausted, yawning and drooping eyelids, helplessly preparing to defend themselves against the enemy.
The same goes for Liu Qi. Not long after he got into bed, he was immediately awakened by the urgent news from the top of the city. He could only drag his tired body and rushed to the north gate of the city without stopping.
And when Liu Qi had just climbed to the top of the city and had not yet had time to observe the enemy's situation, the earth-shattering sound suddenly disappeared silently from his ears.
The moment the sound disappeared, all Jingzhou soldiers suddenly thought that they had delusions. Thousands of people were stunned for a long time before they were convinced that they were awake.
At this time, Liu Qi finally understood that all this was Yan Liang's "treacherous plan".
Obviously, Yan Liang deliberately sent a small team of troops to lurk around Jiangling. They took turns beating gongs and drums, shouting and killing, in order to prevent Liu Qi and his soldiers from sleeping peacefully.
Liu Qi finally understood why Yan Liang had been attacking for several days, but suddenly there was no movement again. It turned out that this hateful common man had given up torturing his body and instead tortured his mind.
Although Liu Qi saw through Yan Liang's intentions, he had no choice but to let his soldiers continue to endure Yan Liang's harassment at the top of the city.
If this feint turns out to be real one time out of ten, but he relaxes his guard, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, in the next ten days, these poor Jingzhou soldiers had to face the enemies arrayed outside the city during the day. They did not dare to rest, and at night, they were attacked again and again every hour.
I was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums.
Under such a psychological warfare offensive, more than ten thousand Jingzhou troops were tortured to death, and everyone was in a daze. Even when they were standing, they could doze off at any time.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s already the eleventh day.
The moon is rising above my brow, the night is deep, but the lights in Beiying Dazhai are brightly lit.
The 20,000 athletes of the Yan Family Army were all excited and silently standing in the camp.
The silent camp suddenly became commotion, from the central military tent to the camp gate. The 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Yan Army spread out like waves, taking the initiative to carve out a path.
At the gate of the camp, a tall black horse with extremely strong strength came slowly.
Yan Liang manipulated the string with one hand, and held the huge black sword in the other hand, facing forward like this, slowly walking past the gaze of everyone.
Under the firelight, he looked like a majestic war god descending from heaven.
That kind of supreme coercion made everyone lower their heads and stare sideways, not daring to look directly at him.
Standing at the camp gate, Yan Liang looked far away in the direction of Jiangling, with murderous intent in his expression.
"This war has been going on for so long, it's time to end it..." Yan Liang murmured to himself, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.
Xu Shu next to him smiled lightly and said: "The noisy gongs and drums in the past few days have tortured Liu Qi quite a lot. It's time to let him go tonight."
Yan Liang nodded and turned his gaze towards the west of the camp, "How's it going with Junyi? Are you ready?"
"Shu Zeng personally went to inspect it last night. The tunnel position is very good, and the chance of success is very high." Xu Shu replied.
A trace of excitement flashed across Yan Liang's eyes, and he said: "Very good, then send the order to Junyi quickly and let him act according to the plan."
Xu Shu accepted the order with his hands raised, and hurriedly summoned his soldiers to give some instructions, and then the soldiers headed towards Juechen in the west of the camp.
Yan Liang hugged the sword and looked calmly in the direction of Jiangling, as if waiting for something.
On the left and right, Lu Lingqi, Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang and others stood on both sides. As time went by, suspicion began to appear on the faces of these fierce generals.
Yan Liang passed down the generals and gathered all the soldiers of the three armies, saying that they would fight tonight to defeat Jiangling.
When Lu Lingqi and other generals heard about it, they were naturally very excited, thinking that there would be an unprecedented night attack on the city tonight.
However, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been gathering for so long, but Yan Liang has not given any orders. How can this not make them suspicious?
"Sister-in-law, could it be that you asked General Zhang to dig a tunnel secretly and wanted to send people to sneak into Jiangling quietly, and you should be consistent inside and outside?"
Lu Lingqi couldn't bear to speculate and stepped forward to ask.
Yan Liang said calmly: "Liu Qi's soldiers and horses are all gathered on the line of the city wall. Even if they dig tunnels and sneak in some soldiers and horses, how can they capture the city gate? It will only be a loss of soldiers."
"But, my little sister just heard what my sworn brother said..." Lu Lingqi became more and more suspicious.
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's lips, "Of course the tunnel was dug, but it was not for the purpose of sneaking into the city."
If not to sneak into the city? What's the point of digging tunnels?
Lu Lingqi was immediately at a loss, she really couldn't figure out what her adopted brother's intentions were.
However, Yan Liang only waved his hand and said: "You don't need to ask too many questions. We will find out soon. Just take a good look at the top of Jiangling City. Don't miss this spectacular show."
There seemed to be another mystery in Yan Liang's words. Lu Lingqi couldn't figure it out, so she had to temporarily suppress her suspicions and follow Yan Liang to set her sights on Jiangling City.
Before you know it, the moon has set in the west, and Jiangling City is still peaceful.
Lu Lingqi and the soldiers had been standing in the wind for more than half an hour, and the hearts of the soldiers gradually became restless.
Lu Lingqi couldn't bear it any longer, and when she was about to ask again, she suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet begin to tremble.
The roaring sound like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking suddenly reached her ears along with the vibration under her feet. Lu Lingqi was startled and subconsciously looked up following the reputation.
She was shocked to see that the towering north gate of Jiangling was actually crumbling. Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work
