Chapter 303: Arrow in Wolong Luocheng
Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were overjoyed when they heard this. How could they get away with it so easily? That was all for the Luocheng garrison.
The guard at the south gate of Luocheng just turned around, and the small colonel next to him quickly reminded: "General Liu has strictly ordered an interrogation. No one can be allowed into the city without his order."
"But that's Zhuge Liang, Liu Xuande's number one military advisor. I know several of those cavalrymen. They should be soldiers under General Zhang." The guard frowned and analyzed.
"But they didn't lead with the yellow tooth flag." The captain reminded again.
The guard general was startled and his head was covered with sweat, and he immediately ordered: "After all, this is a serious matter. Go and tell General Liu quickly, and I will stabilize them first."
"Wei." The principal clasped his fists and left.
The south gate guard was on the tower. He looked at Zhang Da, Fan Jiang and others with a smile.
The group waited for a long time, but when they saw that the city gate had not yet been opened, Zhang Da ordered his troops to surrender for questioning.
"Why is the door open so slowly? Liu Bei's pursuers will come at any time." Jiang Bing shouted loudly.
The guard upstairs looked innocent, then pretended to be angry and said: "The door hasn't been opened yet? I'll go down and open it for you myself."
After a while of burning incense, the south gate of Luocheng remained motionless, and the guard upstairs had disappeared. Zhang Da retreated in his heart.
At this time, another general appeared on the tower.
Seeing that this man was majestic and powerful, Zhang Da asked in a low voice to the soldier who called the door: "Who is this?"
"Liu Zhang's general Liu Quan." Jiang Bing replied in a low voice.
Zhang Da and Fan Jiang looked at each other. Could it be that Zhuge's strategy had been seen through?
When the two of them were about to retreat, Liu Quan shouted loudly: "You come closer and let me recognize you. Liu Bei is extremely cunning. Princess He has entrusted me with a great responsibility. Don't neglect it..."
Zhang Dachong winked at the surrendering troops, and the man immediately urged his horse to take a few steps forward, then clasped his fists and laughed and said, "Does General Liu know me? Li Fu is from Shu County."
Liu Suan stroked his beard and nodded. It was indeed Li Fu, a fellow countryman of Zhang Ren. He turned his head and pointed at Fan Jiang and said, "Bring Zhuge Liang up here and let me take a look."
Li Fu got back on his horse and led Fan Jiang's horse forward. Liu Quan looked at him and sneered: "It is said that Zhuge Kongming has a handsome appearance. Why does he look a little ugly?"
Fan Jiang imitated Zhuge Liang's demeanor and said arrogantly: "You'd better take a piss and take a look at yourself. How can you have the face to judge me?"
Liu Huang laughed loudly: "Is this prisoner so tough-talking? Zhuge villagers are just like that. I will meet you properly when I enter the city later."
While several people were talking, the city gate creaked open a small crack.
Zhang Da was overjoyed when he saw this. He turned around and motioned for everyone to enter the city, then rushed his horse to Fan Jiang's side, pretending to be escorting "Zhuge Liang". These details were precise and all imprinted in Liu Quan's eyes.
Just before Zhang Da and Fan Jiang approached the city gate, the heavy wooden city gate was closed again, as if they were being tricked by Liu Suan.
Just when everyone was confused, Liu Quan on the tower laughed loudly: "Li Fu, I have an agreement with General Zhang. How dare you come to open the city gate without knowing it?"
As soon as Liu Sui finished speaking, arrows rained down from the top of the city. Everyone in the city hurriedly turned their horses and fled, and kept waving their swords to block the flying arrows. Poor Fan Jiang had his hands tied behind his back, and he had no armor except his white robe.
, he was hit by several arrows on his vest and turned into a hedgehog.
Zhang Da originally took the reins for his companion, but seeing that he was already crumbling, he could only let go of his left hand and run for his life alone.
On the city tower, Liu Xu held a carved bow and placed an armor-piercing arrow on the bowstring. What he aimed at was Zhang Da's vest. Through his careful observation just now, he discovered that Zhang Da was the leader of this group of deceitful soldiers.
With a whooshing sound, the armor-piercing arrow left the string.
Liu Quan made an arrow with great force and hit Zhang Da in the back. Unfortunately, Zhang Da just ran two feet away and fell heavily to the ground. Zhang Fei, who was lying in ambush in the distance, realized that something was wrong and hurriedly led his troops to respond.
"Zhang Fei, you look like you can't pull any tricks. You want to pretend to be Zhang Fei and sneak into the city? It's really fantastic." Liu Suan put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.
"Liu Huang, do you have the guts to go out of the city and fight me?" Zhang Fei was furious.
Liu Huang pointed at Fan Jiang's body and sneered: "I am the general of Yizhou, how can I fall for your reckless man's method of provoking a general? Just take Zhuge Liang's body and cry."
Under the cover of the shield bearers, the followers recaptured a dozen people who had been shot down. Some of these people were killed or wounded by arrows, but the white-robed 'Zhuge Liang' had no armor to protect him, and his body was slowly getting cold.
Zhang Fei was furious, "Humph, how could Military Advisor Zhuge come to the dangerous place in person? But Zhang Ren who was beaten to death by me with my bare fist must be real. You should go back and hug Liu Wei and cry."
Liu Huang was shocked when he heard this. Li Fu's appearance made him slightly worried. Now that Zhang Fei said such words again, he knew that Zhang Ren was probably in danger.
"It's useless to talk more. Luocheng will fight until every soldier is killed. It's useless for you to play tricks and tricks. It's better to go to the top of the city and fight for your life." Liu Huang's eyes became sharp.
"Then just wash your neck and wait for me." Zhang Fei glared and led the army back to the camp.
Zhuge Liang knew that the plan failed and said regretfully: "Liu Suan was so cautious. It's my fault..."
Liu Bei quickly comforted him: "How can we forget all the things in this world? Besides, the losses are not big in the first place."
Zhang Fei added: "I asked them to find out what secret codes Liu Huang and Zhang Ren should have. We didn't match up, so we were found out."
Zhuge Liang nodded, and then asked: "How many people were shot this time?"
"Except for Captain Fan Jiang, the other six are all Zhang Ren's subordinates." Zhang Fei replied.
"Deduct two months of my salary and provide compensation and benefits to their families." Zhuge Liang sighed.
Liu Bei quickly stopped him and said: "If everyone is like this, who would dare to lead troops in battle? I think the normal pension in the army will be enough."
"This..." Zhuge Liang hesitated.
Zhang Fei echoed: "Brother is right. Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were very passive on the battlefield. We can just provide them with normal pensions."
"How is Zhang Da's situation?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Zhang Fei: "Liu Suan's arrowhead is stained with feces. The medical camp has cleaned the wound. It will not be cured in a short time."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "Since Zhang Da was passive on the battlefield, let's take the opportunity to let him rest and recuperate. Zhou Yu was also hit by this medicine arrow at the beginning. I heard that the arrow wound broke and died."
Liu Bei frowned when he heard this and asked: "Who are Zhang Da and Fan Jiang?"
"Zhang Da is from Shaxian, Jiangxia, and Fan Jiang is from Xiling, Jiangxia." Zhang Fei replied.
Liu Bei thought for a while and then said seriously: "Since both of them are from Jiangxia, we will send people to send Fan Jiang back to his hometown for burial, and let Zhang Da also go back to his hometown to recover. Anyway, he needs a long time to recover from his illness.
"
"My lord, the weather is hot right now and it will stink when Jiangxia comes. It's better to bury it on the spot..." Pang Tong suggested.
"Third brother, bury Fan Jiang outside Luocheng, and then arrange for Zhang Da to be sent back to Jiangxia."
"I'll do it later."
The episode of fishing in troubled waters ended, and the east, west, and north gates of Luocheng once again faced fierce offensives. The attrition of the defenders in the city showed a gradually increasing trend.
