"Lord, good news!" Early the next morning, Yuan Shao, who was depressed in Yuan Shao's camp, was discussing matters with everyone in the tent, but Guo Tu came in with excitement.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao said with annoyed look on his face.

"Lord, just got reliable news, we found the imperial court's place to store grain!" Guo Tu said excitedly.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Is the news reliable?"

"It's true. In order to avoid the river water being blocked in winter and the food route is not smooth, the emperor specially established a large camp on the north bank to store grain. This is the news from Luoyang, which is true." Guo Tu said excitedly.

"Where is it?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this and said in a deep voice.

"Wuchao." Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao and said excitedly: "Although there is a plan to judge the situation, if we can break Wuchao first before this, the court will have no food and grass to use in a short period of time, and the morale of the army will be in chaos."

Tian Feng frowned and said, "For the sake of the present, we should break the imperial camp first. Why do we need to make trouble?"

Although Guo Tu's words seemed to be extremely credible, Tian Feng always felt something was wrong, and the news came too easily.

"Yuan Hao's words are wrong." Guo Tu shook his head and said, "A surprise attack on Wuchao is only necessary, one partial army, walks through Chaoge, and goes to Wuchao every night. Even if the court has any tricks, there are only 5,000 to 10,000 people left, and our army will suffer losses. But if it succeeds, the court's 100,000 troops will be defeated every day, why not do it?"

When Tian Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved. This incident was strange. The timing of the news was too coincidental. But as Guo Tu said, even if the sneak attack failed, they would not lose much troops. If it succeeded, they would have gained a lot. Even if the review plan was successful, they would not be able to catch up with the surprise attack on Wuchao and would directly cause the main army of the court to disappear completely.

I really can't think of any conspiracy in the court. Could it be that I am really too worried?

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter will be based on what Gong Ze said, and it is a righteous meaning!"

"The last general is here!" Zhang He stepped forward and bowed.

"I ordered you to lead 8,000 cavalry and infantry troops, walk Chaoge around the imperial camp and go to attack Wuchao in surprise." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Zhang He immediately took the order and left with great strides.

On that day, Zhang He led 8,000 troops around the imperial camp overnight and rushed to Wuchao. At night, Zhang He led his army to Wuchao in the evening of the next day. However, when Zhang He saw the Wuchao camp, he was stunned. This is the Wuchao camp? Are you teasing me?

I saw a city standing between a distance, with a city wall of three meters high. The walls were like the walls of Hulao Pass, integrated. Judging from the length and width of the city wall, this city was not big, but there were a lot of tricks on the city wall, and there were five Tiangang Breaking Formation Crossbows on each wall. The entire city was more like a giant fortress.

How can this little girl attack?

"General, what should I do?" Deputy General Zhang Xu looked at Wuchao, which was not so big camp in front of him, swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Zhang He and said.

"Let's wait first, and then make a decision after nightfall." Zhang He looked at the Wuchao camp in front of him and shook his head. Attacking is definitely not possible now. They came here lightly and simply, and they didn't bring any siege weapons at all. Even if there were not many soldiers and horses in the Wuchao camp, they really fought, without siege weapons and could not even go up to the city wall. How to fight? What's more, there are so many magic crossbows in the sea area on the city wall, so they can only wait until nightfall to see if there is any chance.

At this moment, Zhang He and his men found a small hill, and did not dare to make fire and make food, so they could only eat some dry food through the river. In order to avoid the scouts of Wuchao, Zhang He did not dare to send scouts to investigate. He could only send a few spies to hide around and pay attention to the movements around. Fortunately, this was not a food route for the imperial court to transport food and grass, so there were not many scouts here to investigate.

Time passed by Zhang He's waiting for some anxiety. It was not until midnight that Zhang He brought his men and horses to the outside of the Wuchao camp. In order to avoid the other party's alertness, he sniffed the torch more than ten miles away, and wooed through a small river. With the moonlight, it took him an hour to find out outside the Wuchao camp.

"Go!" Looking at the sparse torches on the city wall and the few shaking figures, Zhang He waved.

Dozens of soldiers carried five siege ladders made of rush and quietly approached Wuchao. They gently put the siege ladders on Wuchao City, and lit torches under the city to help the siege soldiers guide the way.

"Attack!" Zhang He commanded his men and horses to start approaching the city wall. Because there were only five siege ladders, if the other party reacted, it would be impossible to attack. Therefore, a famous soldier tried not to make a sound and quietly climbed up the city wall.

Looking at the city wall that was approaching little by little, Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although the Wuchao camp was made like a city by the court, the Wuchao guards were not alert, which was a pity for this city.

"Dang chang~"

Just as Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, the soldier who had just crossed the female wall and was about to step over felt something tripping on his feet, and then a burst of crisp bells rang out across the entire city wall.

not good!

Zhang He was shocked when he heard the sound and shouted loudly: "Attack, attack me! The sound of the call!"

"Enemy attack!" From the city, the shrill roars of the soldiers guarding the city came, followed by the sound of gongs, the collision of weapons, and the screams of fighting were heard.

A soldier who had just emerged was covered with a shield on his head, and was directly smashed from the city wall and smashed over.

Another Jizhou soldier who had already rushed into the female wall saw that the situation was exposed, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He waved the sword in his hand and slashed on the Tiangang Breaking Crossbow, but was directly pierced by two Han soldiers with long spears. With the roar of the soldiers, he directly pushed him out of the city wall and was thrown off the city wall with a scream.

"Tiangang Break the Formation!" A captain in a helmet and armor rushed out and directly set up a Tiangang Break the Formation Crossbow.

"Puff puff puff puff~"

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and huge arrows like guns fell from the sky. Many soldiers who had not yet rushed under the city wall were directly penetrated.

Immediately afterwards, the other four Tiangang Breaking Formation Crossbows were also raised at the same time, and they did not look under the city wall. They directly set up the Tiangang Breaking Formation Crossbows and swept under the city wall. In the dark, they could only hear a lot of screams, but they could not see clearly the situation under the city. At the same time, torches continued to lit up on the top of the city, and through the glass mirrors hanging on the city tower, the entire city wall was illuminated as bright as day.

"Mingjin withdrew the troops, Zhang Xu, you are ready with the cavalry. If the enemy leaves the city, start a charge immediately." Zhang He gritted his teeth. Although he couldn't see the battle situation clearly, he only looked at the army that surged out of the city at that moment, and knew that the Wuchao guard was not as unbearable as he thought. It was difficult to achieve anything with just five siege ladders. He would only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers for nothing, and immediately ordered Mingjin.

"Here!" Zhang Xu agreed and summoned the cavalry to form a formation. As long as the gate of Wuchao was moved away, he would lead the cavalry to enter Wuchao city at all costs. As long as the food and grass of Wuchao were burned, even if the troops were all broken here, it would be worth it.

On the city wall, Han Meng was already carrying a battle axe on the city wall. Seeing that the enemy was gone, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He was guarding the rear. Although he had meritorious achievements, this place was the safest place among the imperial army. It was basically impossible to fight. After finally coming, he was so cowardly. He now blamed the people from the Ministry of Works for making Wuchao so strong.

"General, do you want to pursue?" A lieutenant came to Han Meng and asked with a bow.

"Our duty is to guard Wuchao and not pursue it." Han Meng said in a deep voice. Although he also wanted to fight, before coming, Liu Xie had already instructed him that he would not leave the city no matter what the situation was. Therefore, although he was depressed, he had no intention of leaving the city to pursue it.

Zhang He was patrolling outside the city until dawn was almost dawn. Seeing that the other party had no movement, he led his army to leave in disappointment. The other party was already prepared and had a strong city to guard it. Without the assistance of siege equipment, it was basically impossible to continue attacking Wuchao. Now he had to go back and report to Yuan Shao.

"General, just leave like this?" The first ray of sunshine at dawn pierced through the darkness and brought light to the earth. Zhang Xu turned around, looked at Wuchao, turned his head to look at Zhang He, and said in a stern voice.

"What if I don't leave?" Zhang He sighed, looked at Wuchao, and smiled bitterly: "Who could have thought that the court could build such a city here in such a short time?"
