Chapter 155 Burning Food and Grass
"As ordered!"
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu took orders and left.
The next day, the soldiers responsible for going deep into the enemy camp to burn food and grass were selected.
Due to the importance of this matter, Du Huo decided to go there in person.Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also willing to accompany him.
In this way, the three former brothers were able to reunite again, leading an army to go deep into the secret road and defeating the spirit of Jianning City.
The army went all the way north and penetrated into the secret passage.The secret passage is divided into two layers: upper and lower. Most of them are naturally formed, like caves.
There may be streams or scorched earth in the secret passage, and the passages are different in each place.
Fortunately, some people came here to investigate before, and under the leadership of those people, the army did not take a lot of wrongdoing.
After passing through the secret passage, the world seems to be completely new, it is a land surrounded by mountains.
There were neither mountains nor rivers around, so an empty camp was built in the middle of the mountains.
At that time, it was afternoon, and the scorching sun did not reach here because of the cover of the mountains.
At this moment, under the cool breath, there is an irresistible crisis.
Du Huo was worried that something might change later, so as soon as the army arrived here, he immediately sent troops to attack the camp.
As for the enemy army that seemed to have fallen from the sky, the guard in the battalion seemed a little at a loss.
"How can there be enemy troops here, how did they come here?"
Wang and his wife, the generals in charge of allocating the granaries, had just arrived here under orders, and they were immediately faced with an attack on the camp.
In a daze, he had no choice but to rush to the challenge, and during the process of the challenge, he kept thinking about this question in his mind.
"General Qi, the camp on the east side has been breached, and the enemy army has entered the camp!"
Just as Mrs. Wang commanded the soldiers to try their best to defend against the enemy, the sad news that the camp was breached reached everyone's ears at this inappropriate time.
"What are you eating? How could you lose your camp?" Mrs. Wang asked angrily.
"General, I just found out that it is Liu Bei who is attacking the camp at this time, and he also brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him. This must be Liu Bei's main force. We absolutely cannot resist it!"
The soldier who came to report the news replied with a trembling voice.
"What, Liu Bei? How did he get here!"
As soon as he heard that it was Du Huo who was attacking the camp at this time, Wang Fu's expression changed immediately.
"You don't know!" said the soldier.
"Damn it! If it's Liu Bei, then his army must be behind. If his hundreds of thousands of troops come together to attack this camp, then this camp will definitely be lost!" Wang said resentfully. .
"General, our camp is already too weak to support. In my opinion, let's retreat to Jianning City as soon as possible!" the soldier urged.
"Yes, yes, yes... we have to leave now! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time..."
It was said that even if Mrs. Wang wanted to order the withdrawal of the troops, but in the process of giving the order to withdraw the troops, he added another order.
"Pass the order! The whole army evacuates the camp quickly. Before leaving the camp, it is necessary to burn all the food and grass in the camp. We must not leave a single grain for Liu Bei!"
Not long after, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the camp, and the guards in the camp fled in all directions, like frightened wild animals in the mountains.
Outside the camp, Du Huo looked up at the soaring fire and couldn't help but feel confused.
"We are here to burn grain and grass, why haven't we done it yet? They burned their own grain and grass first? Could it be that something went wrong?" Du Huo was puzzled.
"Brother, it looks like they know we're coming! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so panicked!" After gaining insight into the situation, Guan Yu analyzed.
"Oh? Is there any connection between the two?" Du Huo asked Guan Yu.
Guan Yu explained: "Brother, the reason is actually very simple. They may think that we are here to rob them of food and grass, so they have no choice but to burn the food and grass!"
"Oh~ If things are really as you said, then the current situation can indeed be explained!
Hahaha... It seems that they don't have much confidence!If they really dare to fight us, thousands of us may not be their opponents!It's a pity that they don't have the courage! "
While Du Huo laughed at the guards who were fleeing in all directions, he tightened the reins and urged his horses to turn around and return.
"Brother, don't you want to stop watching for a while?"
Seeing this, Zhang Fei asked bluntly.
"No!" Du Huo waved his hands and said, "Since the food and grass have been burned, then our mission for this trip is considered complete!
Later, after all the enemy soldiers have evacuated, you can also lead your troops back!Jianning City has now become a toothless tiger. We can't let this guy delay for too long! "
"Oh, I see!"
After Du Huo finished speaking, he left, while Zhang Fei responded dully, then turned his head and continued to look at the fire all over the sky.
The next day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's sergeants returned to the camp one after another, and the deployment of the army was complete.
As for the order to capture Jianning City, Du Huo had already issued it as early as last night.
The army was ready to go, and before leaving, Du Huo deliberately walked around among the various armies.
Its purpose is to take this opportunity to inspire the morale of the army.However, in reality, the presence or absence of Du Huo did not make much difference.
In the barracks, Du Huo has always been a relatively mysterious existence. Except for those top generals, the soldiers under his command rarely have contact with Du Huo.
As a result, over time, this also caused the emergence of power faults, and Du Huo's behavior seems to be to curb the occurrence of this situation.
The army hurried for dozens of miles, turned around two streams, and marched to the foot of Jianning City.
The city is still severely blocked, and there is no intention of the city to fight, and there is no move to go to the city to resist the enemy.
Du Huo didn't want to stand in a stalemate with him, so as soon as the army arrived at the city, he immediately began to attack the city.
Tens of thousands of soldiers moved in full force, forming a crushing situation in one fell swoop, as if they were going to smash the Jianning City into pieces.
The defender in Jianning City is named Leitong, and his force value reaches 205. His strength is almost equal to that of the former surrendered veteran Yan Yan.
In addition to this person, there is Lu Kai, the counselor, and Wang Fu, the general who fled from the grain camp earlier.
The three of them were guarding Jianning City, and they had the aura that one man was in charge of the gate and ten thousand men were not allowed to open it.
Of course, this momentum did not last long.Basically, after the food and grass are burned out, Jianning City can no longer be counted as a dangerous pass!
Therefore, when Du Huo sent troops to attack the city, the soldiers in the city had already begun to show a slack attitude, even though they were still resisting.
But this resisting force is far less violent than the previous stages!
