Chapter 71: Fight back and escape from the city? Did Liu Bei take the wrong medicine? Wen Pin: Zhang Yun is a fool, he has ruined our army!
The night is dark.

Yuyang South Gate Line.

More than 17,000 soldiers of Liu’s army, wearing armor and holding swords, stood solemnly.

They didn't know what strategies their lord and military advisor were planning, but they could feel that a life-and-death battle was imminent.

Everyone was nervous, with expressions of tension and excitement burning on their young faces.

Everyone's eyes looked up towards the top of the city wall and fell on the backs of Liu Bei and Xiao Fang.

Liu Bei stood with his sword in hand, gazing at the main camp of the Jingzhou army outside the city from afar with a stern gaze.

Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Hu Che'er and other generals on his left and right all clenched their fists, with a boiling desire to fight between their brows.

Even Zhuge Liang, who had experienced several major battles, could be considered a man who had seen many storms.

The war is imminent today, but I still can't keep calm.

A slight yawn sounded beside me.

Zhuge Liang turned his head and glanced, only to see Xiao Fang covering his mouth with his hand and yawning quietly.

He looked sleepy, as if he was not affected by the impending war. If he was not a military advisor and had to go to the top of the city wall to cheer for the soldiers, he would have gone back to sleep long ago.

"I wonder when I can develop my brother-in-law's ability to remain calm even when a mountain collapses before him..."

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, a hint of respect flashing across his brows.

Liu Bei, who was standing on the other side, naturally also caught a glimpse of Xiao Fang's sleepy and lazy look, and a layer of confidence was added to his originally solemn eyes.

"Military Advisor looks so relaxed, he must be confident. Then there is nothing to worry about in this battle..."

Liu Bei felt relieved and his morale became even higher.

"My lord, there is a beacon of fire in the south."

"Wenjin is already here, it's time for us to get started."

Although Xiao Fang was sleepy, he was the first to notice the fireworks in the sky, and immediately pointed at it and spoke.

Liu Bei looked carefully and saw a beacon fire rising into the night sky south of the enemy camp.

In an instant, the desire to fight burned in my heart.

The double-edged swords were unsheathed and pointed at the enemy camp:

"All generals, listen to my orders. Follow me to charge out of Yuyang and destroy the enemy camp!"

"We will not withdraw our troops until we defeat the enemy today!"

The long-suppressed fighting spirit of Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other generals was instantly ignited by Liu Bei's order.

The soldiers who had been silent for a long time under the city suddenly became excited.

The city gates opened wide and the drawbridge dropped.

Countless soldiers of Liu's army poured out of the south gate of Yuyang like a tide, divided into several routes, and like sharp swords, whistling and stabbing towards the silent main camp of the Jingzhou army.

The sound of trumpets and drums, the sounds of killing and shouting, instantly broke the silence of the early morning.

A battle to attack the camp began.

...

The main camp of Jingzhou army, the central military tent.

The aroma of wine filled the big tent.

At this moment, Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun were toasting each other and drinking happily.

"Ziying, if you can severely injure Liu Bei in this battle at sunset, then it will be easy to capture Yuyang, recapture Wancheng, and destroy Liu Bei."

"You are the chief contributor to the Lord's recovery of Nanyang."

"This cup of wine is for you to drink to congratulate you on your victory. Come on, drink it up."

Cai Zhong raised his glass with a smile and complimented Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun's lips curled up with a hint of satisfaction, and he quickly bowed and smiled:

"Deshi, you are too kind. I don't deserve the credit for anything."

"But if I get the chance, I will kill Liu Bei with my own hands and behead Xiao Fang, the traitorous country bumpkin, to avenge my past shame and De Shun!"

At this point, Zhang Yun's face burned with hatred.

Cai Zhong's hatred for killing his brother was also aroused, and he snorted coldly:
"Liu Xiao, two thieves, a weaver and a shoe seller, a country bumpkin, dared to be an enemy of the lord, an enemy of you and me, and even tried to get involved in Jingzhou. You really overestimate your own abilities."

"Let's work together to wipe out these two ignorant thieves and let them know who has the final say in Jingzhou!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, then raised their glasses and drank them all.

The wine just went down my throat.

There was a sudden commotion outside the tent.

The sound of drums, trumpets, killing sounds, and gongs suddenly became louder.

"what happened?"

Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun looked at each other, jumped up quickly, and rushed out of the tent in a few steps.

From the direction of the northern camp wall, the sound of killing and drums was deafening, and under the light of the fire, it seemed as if thousands of troops were rushing towards them.

"General Cai, the enemy troops in Yuyang City are coming out in full force to attack our camp!"

The lieutenant on duty came running over to report.

Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun were startled and their faces suddenly changed. They thought they had heard it wrongly.

Didn’t Liu Bei send out six or seven thousand soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Xi Yang Ju?
Then there should be less than 10,000 troops left in Yuyang City.

With such a small number of troops, they should have held their ground and not gone out, as they were worried that they would take advantage of the situation and attack the city.

How come Liu Bei dared to come out and attack their camp?

Was Liu Bei's head stuck in the door?

Or did I take the wrong medicine? "De... Deshi, what does that big-eared thief want to do?"

Zhang Yun suddenly panicked and asked with a look of surprise and anxiety on his face.

Cai Zhong was slightly surprised, but soon calmed down and snorted:
"Don't worry about what he wants to do. I have nearly 10,000 soldiers in my camp. I am not afraid of him."

"Pass the order down, all troops will be transferred to the northern camp wall immediately to resist the enemy. We must remain unchanged in the face of all changes!"

As soon as Cai Zhong gave the order, he mounted his horse and headed straight for the north camp wall.

At the same time, gongs sounded loudly in the camp. The Jingzhou army, who had just fallen asleep, were immediately driven out of the military tents and rushed to the north camp wall to deploy defenses.

Inside a military tent.

Wen Pin was also drinking with his old subordinate Deng Ji, but he was drinking alone.

"General Zhongye is an expert in martial arts and a veteran of many battles. He is the best general in Jingbei."

"It would be fine if the lord did not use the general, but he actually believed the slander of Zhang Yun, the embroidered pillow, and suspected that the general was secretly in contact with Liu Bei and took away your military power!"

"My lord, this is truly chilling. I and my brothers are all speaking up for the general!"

Deng Ji drank wine while complaining indignantly.

"Forget it, forget it. As the saying goes, distant relatives cannot separate relatives. I am neither a relative of the lord nor a descendant of the Cai or Kuai families. It is understandable that the lord trusts them and not me."

"Come on, come on, drink!"

Although Wen Pin spoke in a carefree manner, the melancholy look on his face only grew worse, and he drank one cup after another.

Deng Ji sighed, but his face showed worry:

"If the lord defeats Liu Bei in this battle, wouldn't it further prove Zhang Yun's slander and false accusations?"

"When the lord is convinced that you are secretly communicating with Liu Bei, I am afraid that in his rage, he will not only reduce your military power."

"I think the general must not sit and wait for death, he must make plans early."

Wen Ping shuddered slightly, and suddenly clenched the wine glass in his hand.

There was a sudden flash of determination in his eyes, but then it turned into hesitation.

at this time.

Outside the tent, there were sudden sounds of killing and drums.

Soon after, Cai Zhong's personal guards came and delivered orders, saying that Liu Bei's army was going to attack at night, and ordered all of them to go to the north camp wall to resist the enemy.

The two men stood up suddenly, their faces changed immediately.

"Didn't Liu Bei sneak attack Xiyangju? How dare he attack my camp?"

Deng Ji's face was full of surprise and he looked at Wen Pin anxiously.

Wen Pin's thoughts raced as he connected all the clues together, and a horrifying guess gradually emerged in his mind.

Sudden.

Wen Pin suddenly woke up, shuddered violently, and exclaimed:

"Oh no! This must be Xiao Fang's trick. My lord, he has fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

Xiao Fang’s trick?

A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Deng Ji was completely confused and did not understand the meaning of Wen Pin's words at all.

"Zhang Yun must have fallen for a counter-espionage plot and brought back false information, causing the lord to mistakenly believe that Liu Bei would divide his forces to attack the Xiyangju grain camp, so he led our main force into Xiyangju to set up an ambush."

"Liu Bei's entire army is actually in Yuyang, so he can take advantage of the emptiness of our camp and launch a massive attack."

"Zhang Yun, that fool, has harmed our lord and our army!"

Wen Pin stamped his feet and cursed.

Deng Ji suddenly realized and took a deep breath:
"This strategy is so cunning that even Kuai Yidu was fooled?"

Wen Pin sighed and said helplessly:
"I guess this plan was probably the work of Xiao Fang."

"Now it seems that this man's wisdom is far superior to Kuai Yue's. He should be the best strategist in Jingzhou."

Deng Ji was stunned.

"brush!"

Wen Pin picked up the knife and took a deep breath:

"At this point, there is no point in saying anything more. Let's hurry to the camp wall."

The two of them immediately hurried out of the tent and rushed to the camp wall.

at this time.

On top of Yuyang City.

Xiao Fangzheng resisted the urge to sleep and looked towards the enemy camp from afar.

The faint sound of killing and drums indicated that a fierce attack on the camp had begun.

"Brother-in-law, the troops left behind in Jingzhou should have been led to the northern camp wall. It's time to send a signal to Zhang Wenjin!"

Zhuge Liang pointed in the direction of the enemy camp and warned.

Xiao Fang yawned and waved his hand:

"It's almost time. Let's do as you said and light the beacon to send a signal to Zhang Wenjin."

"Now that the beacon fire is lit, we can go back to sleep even if our mission is completed."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly passed the order down.

A moment.

Three beacon fires were raised on the top of Yuyang City.
