Chapter 72 Were we all fooled by Xiao Fang? You fell into my hands again, so you can save your life!

South of the Jingzhou military camp.

Eight hundred Xiliang cavalrymen were standing in the night, staring at the Jingzhou army camp with ferocious and murderous eyes.

Zhang Xiu immediately held his spear horizontally, but his eagle eyes were fixed on the distant Yuyang City Wall.

"General Wenjin, light the beacon fires. Light the three beacons."

Hu Che'er was sharp-eyed and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Xiu looked carefully and saw three beacon fires rising above the south gate tower of Yuyang.

"The military advisor has given the signal. It's time for us to take the field."

Zhang Xiu was full of energy and swung his spear:
"Wuwei men, the opportunity to make achievements is right before our eyes. How can we let others look down on us?"

"Follow me and charge forward to destroy the Jingzhou Army camp!"

A thunderous roar broke the silence.

The trumpet sounded.

Zhang Xiu squeezed his horse's belly, then rushed out with his spear in hand.

The eight hundred Xiliang cavalry moved with a roar, followed Zhang Xiu and attacked with deafening shouts of killing.

The cavalry was as fast as the wind and in a blink of an eye they had reached the southern wall of the main camp of the Jingzhou army.

Zhang Xiu took a closer look and saw that there were only a few soldiers from Jingzhou on duty along the southern camp wall, making it almost undefended.

"Military Advisor Jinglue is truly as good as a god..."

Zhang Xiu secretly praised in his heart.

This is Xiao Fang’s strategy to break into the camp.

Liu Bei personally led the main force of the infantry and attacked the North Camp Wall head-on, forcing Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun to transfer all the troops stationed in Jingzhou to the North Camp Wall to resist.

Zhang Xiu led 800 cavalrymen and, taking advantage of the enemy's empty rear camp, attacked the enemy camp from the south wall in one fell swoop.

The advantage of cavalry's mobility was revealed at this time.

Zhang Xiu led 800 cavalrymen, left the city at night, and marched as fast as the wind. Without the enemy noticing, he circled behind the enemy camp.

As soon as the agreed beacon fire sounded, Zhang Xiu launched the surprise attack at lightning speed.

The cavalry rushed forward and in a blink of an eye they were more than forty steps closer to the enemy camp.

At this time, the few soldiers on duty finally discovered that the cavalry were attacking.

"It's the cavalry!"

"It's Liu Bei's Xiliang cavalry!"

"Everyone, immediately defend the camp gates and quickly go to General Cai to ask for help. Tell him that the enemy attacked our southern camp wall!"

Song Zhong, who was left guarding the south camp wall, was horrified and screamed hoarsely.

The guards, numbering less than a hundred, hastily grabbed their weapons and blocked the camp gate.

Zhang Xiu looked at him with disdain, as if he were an ant, and shouted:
"Release the arrows and kill them!"

The Xiliang cavalry were skilled in archery and horse riding. They bent their bows and shot arrows while galloping on their horses.

A sound of breaking air suddenly arose.

Hundreds of sharp arrows rose into the air and shot towards the Jingzhou soldiers at the camp gate.

Most of these Jingzhou soldiers were narrow-minded and had rarely experienced fighting against cavalry in their lives. They never expected that these Xiliang people could shoot arrows while riding at full speed.

Caught off guard, more than ten people were nailed down in an instant. They fell into chaos and panic and retreated to avoid the danger.

"Hu Che'er, what are you waiting for? Open the camp gate for me!"

Seeing the enemy soldiers being forced to retreat, Zhang Xiu shouted again.

Hu Che'er was the first to ride his horse towards the camp gate, jumped off his horse, and rushed to the camp gate in a few steps.

He grabbed the camp door with his bare hands, veins bulging in his arms, and pushed forward with all his might.

"Kachacha~~"

Accompanied by a loud bang.

The huge camp gate was suddenly knocked to the ground by Hu Che'er's natural strength.

"Good job, Che'er!"

Zhang Xiu gave a loud praise, rode his horse, dragged his spear, stepped on the collapsed camp gate, and rushed into the enemy camp first.

At this moment, the remaining soldiers of Jingzhou were all stunned by Hu Che'er's magical power.

By the time Song Zhong reacted and wanted to turn around and flee, Zhang Xiu had already appeared before him like an iron tower.

The gun whizzed out like thunder.

Song Zhong suddenly woke up, and when he wanted to raise his knife to resist, he was already half a beat too late.

"puff!"

A bullet pierced the heart.

Zhang Xiu thrust and retracted his spear, leaving Song Zhong, who fell to the ground, behind him, and pounced on the panicked soldiers of Jingzhou.

Seeing their commander being killed, the morale of more than a hundred Jingzhou soldiers collapsed and they naturally scattered.

Eight hundred Xiliang cavalrymen rolled into the enemy camp, followed Zhang Xiu, and killed their way towards the northern camp wall.

The iron cavalry rolled in, crushing all the Jingzhou soldiers along the way like ants.

Zhang Xiu broke through the enemy camp with overwhelming force and reached the center of the army in a blink of an eye.

The gun shot down.

The central army's flag was cut down to the ground.

North Camp Wall.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle continues.

Ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers, under the shouting of Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun, were struggling to resist the attack of Liu's army.

"The enemy troops attacking the camp number at least 16,000 to 17,000 people. Liu Bei has his entire division here!"

"That big-eared thief, shouldn't he have divided his troops to attack Xi Yang Ju? Why is his entire army here?"

Cai Zhong was stunned and bewildered, and looked at Zhang Yun with a questioning look.

Zhang Yun's forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked flustered and embarrassed, not knowing how to explain.

Because he himself couldn't figure out the mystery.

"Zhang Yun, you were fooled by Liu Bei and brought back false information, causing the Lord to fall into Xiao Fang's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

Wen Pin rode over on his horse, his face burning with anger.

Zhang Yun's face suddenly changed color and he froze on his horse.

Although he was a useless person, he was not hopelessly stupid. After being scolded by Wen Pin, his thoughts raced, connecting all the doubts together, how could he not figure it out?

"Could it be that Liu Bei and his ministers set a trap for me that day?"

"Could it be that they deliberately let me eavesdrop, making me think that they were going to attack Sunset Gathering, and then use me to bring false information back to my uncle, so as to trick my uncle into sending troops to Sunset Gathering, and then the big-eared thief would take advantage of the opportunity to attack my camp?"

"I was actually played like a clown by Liu Bei and Xiao Fang?"

Zhang Yun's head was buzzing, and the cruel truth finally surfaced.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He suddenly pointed at Wen Pin and said:
"How could Xiao Fang be so cunning? There is no way I will fall for his trick!"

"Wen Pin, it must be you who secretly informed the big-eared thief and leaked the secret that my uncle was going to set an ambush at Xiyangju!" Wen Pin was stunned.

He really didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Yun was still trying to pass the buck and wanted to blame himself for his own stupidity.

"Zhang Yun, you——"

Wen Pin was furious, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

"enough!"

Cai Zhong interrupted the two people's argument and said sternly:

"Who is responsible? We will make the decision after my lord returns."

"Now we have to work together to defend the north camp wall and stop the attack of the big-eared thieves."

"I think the big-eared thieves' offensive is at its end. We can definitely hold out until the lord returns. By that time, even if Xiao Fang's trick is as tricky as -"

Before he could even utter the word "what".

Suddenly, there was a sound of heaven collapsing and earth splitting behind him.

Several people looked back at the same time, and their bodies froze in an instant, stunned.

in view.

Countless iron cavalry, like divine troops descending from the sky, have been chasing and crushing the fleeing soldiers of Jingzhou, and are coming up behind them with unstoppable force.

"Xiliang Cavalry? Is that Zhang Xiu?"

"This, this, this..."

Cai Zhong's voice trembled and he was stunned with shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Wen Pin's face changed and he said anxiously:

"You have fallen into a trap again. Liu Bei's entire division attacked the North Camp wall in order to force you to lead all your troops to the North Camp."

"He secretly sent Zhang Xiu to lead the cavalry, who took advantage of the lack of troops on the southern wall to break into the camp in one fell swoop!"

"This must be another trick of Xiao Fang!"

The truth came out.

Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun were so shocked that their faces turned pale and they were in a state of panic for a moment.

"Quick, quickly form a formation and stop the enemy cavalry~~"

Cai Zhong was so excited and frightened that he screamed in a trembling voice, almost hysterical.

The Jingzhou troops on the front line of the camp wall turned back hastily and wanted to form a new formation.

It's too late.

Eight hundred Xiliang cavalrymen, like a rolling torrent, are already rushing towards us.

People and horses fell to the ground, limbs flew and blood splattered.

The soldiers of Jingzhou were knocked around in the blink of an eye, screaming and howling like ghosts and wolves, and there was chaos.

collapse!

After being hit by a fatal blow from behind, the 10,000 Jingzhou troops who were fighting hard collapsed in an instant and scattered.

At this time.

Liu Bei, who was outside the camp, saw that Zhang Xiu's surprise attack was successful, and took advantage of the situation to urge his troops to attack fiercely.

The camp walls were broken everywhere and the camp gates collapsed.

Seventeen thousand infantrymen of Liu's army flooded over the northern camp wall like a tide and pounced on the collapsing and scattered Jingzhou army.

The main camp of the Jingzhou army collapsed across the board.

"The situation is over, let's go."

Wen Pin let out a long sigh and rode away first.

Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun's mental will also collapsed, and they fled in panic without even having time to issue the order to retreat.

Zhang Yun knew that Wen Pin was an expert in martial arts, so he followed him closely, hoping to fight his way out of the situation.

"Zhang Yun, little thief, your Grandpa Hu is here, where are you going to run to!"

A familiar roar sounded.

Zhang Yun was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He glanced sideways and was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

He saw Hu Che'er riding his horse towards him diagonally like a wild beast.

After the previous horrific experience, Zhang Yun knew that this Xiliang guy was born with extraordinary strength and he could never be his opponent.

"Wen Zhongye, save me, save me——"

In panic, Zhang Yun no longer cared about his face and cried for help to Wen Pin in front of him.

Wen Pin looked back, hesitated for a moment, snorted coldly, and rode away at full speed.

"Wen Ping--"

Seeing that Wen Pin did not come to his rescue, Zhang Yun screamed in grief and anger with gnashing teeth.

At this time.

Hu Che'er was riding his horse and rushing towards us.

Zhang Yun had no choice but to draw his sword to resist subconsciously.

Before the sword was unsheathed, Hu Che'er stretched out his long arm, grabbed his belt, lifted him off the horse like a chicken, and raised him high in the air again.

"General Hu, please spare my life. Please listen to my explanation and take me to see Envoy Liu. I have something to say~~"

Zhang Yun, who was in mid-air, pleaded in a trembling voice.

Hu Che'er's face was grim and sarcastic, and he sneered:

"It doesn't matter if you die with peace of mind. The information you overheard that day was all the ingenuity of my military advisor. It was to use you, a fool, to trick that old villain Liu Biao into falling for my military advisor's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

"The military advisor is really good at predicting things. You, the fool, and that old thief Liu Biao, really fell into their trap!"

The truth came out.

After getting Hu Che'er's personal admission, Zhang Yun could no longer deceive himself.

"That country bumpkin, could he be so cunning?"

"I was fooled by him, Kuai Yue was fooled by him, and all of us were fooled by him?"

Zhang Yun's head was buzzing and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

"I spared your life last time, but you didn't cherish it. Now that you've fallen into my hands, I'm going to tear you apart!"

After Hu Che'er finished cursing, he suddenly increased his strength.

"General Hu, spare my life, General Hu——"

Zhang Yun's shock turned into panic, and he was in so much pain that his heart was broken and he begged desperately.

Hu Che'er was so blood-thirsty that he refused to listen and suddenly let out a loud roar.

"Crack!"

Zhang Yun, who was in mid-air, was torn into two halves.
