Chapter 117 Night Attack
After verifying Liu Bei's identity, Zhang Mancheng welcomed Liu Bei into the city.

"Brother Xuande came just in time. Our army is preparing to kill the general and go out. Brother Xuande is going to go out of the city or to defend?" Zhang Mancheng said excitedly to Liu Bei.

Their side was besieged for a few days with the same force, and they were already furious, but for the sake of Huang Tian's great cause, they still swallowed their anger and waited for reinforcements.

In this way, even if they go out and lose the battle, it is enough to keep the city safe.

Liu Bei didn't know Zhang Mancheng either. Zhang Mancheng consciously grew a beard and changed his appearance. In addition, Zhang Mancheng died so thoroughly back then, and Zhang Mancheng changed his name to Zhang Dian, so he didn't arouse any suspicion. .

"General Zhang, we have fought against the ambush soldiers of Cao Cao's army on the way here. Two generals with internal energy separated from the body, and two spiritual advisers. I am afraid that the enemy's hidden strength is strong!"

Liu Bei exhorted sincerely.

"Hmph, Brother Xuande, don't underestimate us. If we don't seek stability, we are not weaker than them!" Zhang Mancheng proudly introduced the generals behind him to Liu Bei.

Zhang Mancheng introduced Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Zhu Dian, and Wu Song.

"These are all my Qingzhou generals, and they are also at the level where the internal energy is separated from the body. If brother Xuande can join"

Mu Yi stationed a lot of generals and schools on Mount Tai, just to guard against Cao Cao's attack.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Lu Junyi and the others said repeatedly.

Zhang Mancheng glanced at the few people with some doubts. Although these people were not arrogant on weekdays, they also had their own ambitions, so why did they behave timidly today.

Guan Yu looked at Zhu Dian strangely, well, this beard is almost catching up with him, and he is also a person who pays attention to maintenance on weekdays, so he can communicate with each other when he has the opportunity.

Zhang Fei looked at Guan Sheng with a look of surprise. He always felt that Guan Sheng looked a bit like the second brother, but he couldn't tell why.

"Let's go, brother Xuande and I will meet with the governor of Mount Tai, brother Junyi, come and greet them both!" Zhang Mancheng pulled Liu Bei away.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei tactfully stayed, even though they and Liu Bei were brothers, it was better for them not to go to such a formal meeting, and the two of them didn't like that kind of small talk.

"Cough cough cough, if I dare to ask you two, are you Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide?"

Lu Junyi and the others exchanged eye contact for a long time, and finally Lu Junyi, the second-in-charge, stood up and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Hahaha, you also know the names of my two brothers!"

Zhang Fei waved his hands carelessly, but he didn't doubt how Lu Junyi and the others knew. Although the two brothers were Lu Bu's background panels in Hulao, they did show their faces, and it was common for people to know them.

When Lu Junyi and the others knew the identities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they froze in place for a while.

In the second year of Daguan (1107), Guan Yu had already been conferred the title of King Wu'an by the Song Dynasty. Although it was not as good as the Three Realms Subduing Demons God Weiyuanzhen Tianzun Guan Shengdijun in the Ming Dynasty, it was still a title.

And when they were sworn brothers in the Liangshan Juyi Hall, they worshiped Guan Yu. When they saw the real deity, they felt that they bowed their heads innately.

Although they knew that this Guan Yu was not that Guan Yu, they still couldn't stop their awe.

Even Wu Song, who has always been free and easy, can't help being a little cautious. This idol is indeed a bit hard to let go in person.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not talkative people either, they just chatted one after another, waiting for the results of the discussion between the three big bosses inside.

"Generals, General Zhang, please go in!" Soon a waiter came to announce.

Several people filed into the conference hall, Liu Bei nodded to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood, this meant to let them obey the command, and immediately sat down calmly and listened to Zhang Mancheng's assignment.

"In the early morning of tonight, our troops will be divided into two groups. One will leave the city through the secret passage, and the other will leave the city through the side gate. In the end, we will attack this place from both sides. When the camp is in chaos, the remaining generals will lead their troops to fight out from the front!"

Zhang Man made the arrangements in his chest. He didn't know it before, but Ying Shao told the story that there are secret passages in the city that can lead to the outside when he saw the reinforcements coming.

This time, his odds of winning the battle outside the city increased by [-]%.

"I will garrison half of the people in the city. If you are defeated, remember not to go back the same way, and retreat directly to Qingzhou, understand?" Ying Shao added calmly.

Zhang Mancheng and Liu Bei also nodded, Ying Shao's intention was obvious, that is to keep this bridgehead, no matter their success or failure, it will not affect his side.

This is also the safest way, Zhang Mancheng and Liu Bei have no objection, besides, the night attack itself is a one-shot deal, even if it fails, the other party will not pursue it deeply.

At worst, they retreated and rectified and returned to the city. Anyway, Cao Cao's army was sparse, and even if they besieged the city, they would at most surround two city walls.

They were also worried that the division of troops would be defeated by Zhang Mancheng and others going out of the city.

After all, to besiege the enemy with the same force, only a few people can do it in history.

Once the encirclement is spread out, the strength on one side will inevitably drop precipitously, so there is a saying that encircle it with ten and attack it with five.

Without a force several times that of the opponent, it is like besieging a city, which is really unrealistic.

"Hmph, my Qingzhou Wolf Rider will definitely become famous this time!"

Zhang Mancheng is very confident, because Huang Tianji allocated three thousand wolf riders and three thousand guards to Mount Tai when he allocated the armed forces.

The imperial guard is weak in the category of dual talents, but when facing a single-talented elite, he is still very aggressive, especially an ordinary person in iron armor can't beat him at all.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of Qingzhou wolf cavalry was comparable to that of Bingzhou wolf cavalry, which was actually a bit stronger, because Mu Yi brought the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes from the Song Dynasty.

Although the three-piece cavalry suit had its prototype in the Han Dynasty, it was obviously not as mature as the Song Dynasty's technology. Therefore, after being equipped with the three-piece suit, the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou wolf cavalry increased by at least half.

However, Cao Cao's army also has cavalry, and they are not weak, because Lu Zhi was in Yanzhou, and when Cao Cao was treated with courtesy, Lu Zhi gave him two pointers.

Although Lu Zhi regarded himself as a great Confucian and entered the Temple of Confucianism (Zhenguan), he was actually a very powerful commander of a large army, and Lu Zhi of the association was talented in the arms of the Han Dynasty system.

Therefore, Cao Cao's army has a group of cavalry, and they are Yue cavalry among the five schools of the Northern Army. Although they are not as noble as wolf cavalry, and their potential is not as good as wolf cavalry, their combat effectiveness at a single talent level is overwhelming.

But Xi Zhicai and the others did not bring cavalry this time, because they had Xia Houyuan, so they could use infantry as cavalry.

So they kept the cavalry by Cao Cao's side, which can be regarded as suppressing those who have the heart of disobedience.

Liu, Cao, Sun Yu, the three monarchs, Cao Cao had just won Yanzhou, and a piece of Mount Tai was dug up by Mu Yi. The interior was also mixed with fish and dragons, and the foundation was unstable, even to the extent that they were kidnapped by the family to attack Qingzhou.

Sun Jian was in trouble everywhere in Yangzhou, and he couldn't sit still. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't take the risk of beating Liu Biao. He just wanted to use his achievements to subdue the aristocratic families in Yangzhou.

Liu Bei was even more miserable, and he didn't even have a piece of land.

"Military division, are they really coming tonight?"

Cao Ren looked at Xi Zhicai with a troubled expression on his face. Although they all knew that Xi Zhicai was extremely intelligent, this unproven order really made people flustered.

"Well, they will definitely come. Liu Xuande has arrived during the day, and they must not be able to contain the anger of being constantly provoked these days, so our army must take strict precautions."

Xi Zhicai kept studying with the map.

"That's why you let Miaocai go out overnight?" Cao Ren suddenly realized.

"That's right, the moon is shining brightly tonight, I expect him to attack Qingzhou!" Xi Zhicai smiled.

His spiritual talent can copy spiritual talent within a certain range, which can be regarded as a range detector, and he is sure that there is no spiritual adviser in the city in front of him.

Therefore, many methods can be played with a little money, such as covering the sky and the moon.

Although the moonlight is bright and clear, as long as it is blocked by clouds, it will naturally disappear.

You must know that although the inner qi is magical, not all soldiers have the level of condensed inner qi, and many soldiers have night blindness.

Without the moonlight, the attacking side would naturally suffer, and they could use this method to torture the night attacking troops on the other side.

But if he can't get started, he can open it. Although that can force the enemy back, it can't achieve results. What he wants is to completely defeat the enemy who attacked at night, and it might be an option to take the city with a big victory.

Xi Zhicai, who walked out of the camp, stared at the bright moon that was almost in the middle of the sky, with a smile on his face. In this kind of night, he could see everything within a mile. It would be no problem to take out a book to read it.

"The full moon is good, the full moon is good, only in this way will someone come to take the bait!"

Originally, night raids required concealment, and it was best to have an environment without moonlight at all. However, in this era when everyone is not rich, attacking in the middle of the night without moonlight is simply asking for trouble for yourself. When you reach your destination, you don’t know how many soldiers you lost on the way. .

"Enemy attack!"

A loud cry pierced the night sky, and Cao Cao's army, who had already been prepared, immediately took their positions under the leadership of generals and schools at all levels, ready to deal with the incoming enemy.

"Brothers, follow me to kill!" Lin Chong and Wu Song rushed towards the camp with more than [-] people.

Cao Ren frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he ran over with his people and stabilized the front line of the camp.

"Step aside!"

Cao Ren kicked one of Cao Cao's soldiers away with one kick, and then caught the Jiedao chopped down by Wu Song, saving the soldier's life.

"There are only 5000 people in the area, and I want to attack at night, dreaming!" Cao Ren didn't talk nonsense, and a heavy gun smashed at Wu Song like a mountain.

Wu Song turned to avoid, and then tried to get close to Cao Ren, but was forced back again by a sweep.

Seeing this, Lin Chong on the other side activated his army talent—his Xu Rulin. The effect was to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers by [-]%, and at the same time strengthen their self-healing ability and restore physical strength.

"Unlucky!" Cao Ren cursed secretly, he picked the wrong opponent, so instead, he was restrained by Wu Song.

These days, although there are monsters like Dian Wei who are very capable of fighting but have no legion talent, but in most cases, those without legion talent are pseudo-inner gas separated bodies, and there is a gap in strength, but basically they are all in one level line.

He himself is not good at martial arts, under the cloud, he was entangled by Wu Song for a while and couldn't get out.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he didn't even release the talent of the legion, and now he wanted to activate it, but he couldn't get his birth.

"Zixiao, I'll stop him, you go and deal with the general!" Cao Hong shouted, and went to Wu Song.

Cao Ren was overjoyed, Cao Hong came at the right time, and he was able to free himself up like this.

Cao Hong doesn't have the talent of the army, but he is also proficient in martial arts. He and Wu Song happen to be rivals in chess and will meet good talents.

Wu Song was a little annoyed, and the saber in his hand covered Cao Hong's body like a blanket, but no matter how aggressive he was, he still couldn't break through Cao Hong's defense.

"Defend according to the city!"

Cao Ren yelled, the army talent enveloped the frontline soldiers, unlike Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who did whatever he wanted, his army talent had just been born, and he couldn't do what he wanted at all.

However, unlike Lin Chong, who is proficient in martial arts and has different commanders, Cao Ren is more inclined to the commander type.

The talent of Cao Ren's army covers an extremely wide range, almost covering the entire camp.

Under the cover of the legion's talent, all the soldiers of Cao Cao's army had a hazy light on their bodies, and these lights covered the soldiers' bodies, forming a protective layer.

The effect of Cao Ren's army talent is simple. It is to bless the defense of the city wall on the soldiers, which can greatly enhance the defense ability of the soldiers. If it is in that kind of majestic city, the buff effect is not even weaker than those special defensive unit talents.

However, in the temporary camp at this moment, the defensive blessings that can be provided are very limited, but because of the extremely wide range, the morale of Cao Cao's army will be greatly increased by then.

"Report, General, the enemy army has appeared in the camp on the right, and there are also cavalry figures!"

Just as Cao Ren commanded the troops to suppress Lin Chong in an area, the messenger ran over to report.

"Hmph, as expected, it's not what the military advisor expected. It's just a strategy to attack the west. There is General Xiahou stationed there, so don't worry about it!"

As Cao Ren said, he looked at the sky. The entangled clouds became more and more dense, and the strength of the fierce general would be further suppressed. Even if Liu Guanzhang's strength was amazing, it would not help.

Unlike previous encounters where the total number of both sides was only more than [-], the total number of the two armies in the camp now totaled [-] to [-]. The concentration of clouds soared, and the suppression of extraordinary strength became even more severe.

If Zhang Fei could defeat Xia Houyuan with [-] moves before, now he would need at least [-] moves to tell the difference.

"The military situation should have been eliminated in the dust of history long ago!" Cao Ren sneered, and rushed towards Lin Chong with his personal guards.

Since everything was almost as expected by the military adviser, he must do his best to take down his opponent, and Xiahou Dun and others will guard the other side.
