Chapter 387 Xu Huang's plan
Liu Bei led his army to attack the city for several days, but there was no effect. The army temporarily retreated and remained motionless.
At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly heard a news that Liu Bei's army was short of food and was sent to supervise the transportation of food and grass from Shu, and he would arrive soon.
After hearing the news, Xu Huang was very happy because he was best at robbing grain. This time, as long as he successfully burned the other party's food and grass, he would definitely force the other party to withdraw his troops, thus winning the best opportunity to stabilize Hanzhong.
After making the arrangements, Xu Huang led Zhang Wei, Yang Ren and others to lead an army of 10,000 to rob the grain, leaving Deng Zhi to guard the city.
"General must be careful when he goes there." Deng Zhi was very worried and told him to the false advice.
But when Xu Huang laughed, he laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry, you are not unaware of it. Huang is best at robbing food. Once he leaves, he will definitely return successfully. Just wait for my good news."
At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the city. When Xu Huang heard the movement, his face changed slightly and ordered the soldiers to set up a formation and prepare to face the enemy.
A moment later, a man came out from the crowd and shouted loudly: "Is it General Xu Huang in front of him? Yang Fu, Xiaguan Tianshui."
Xu Huang could not see the other party's appearance clearly under the hazy firelight. Now, when he heard this sound, he immediately heard Yang Fu's voice. He was very happy and rode his horse to meet him and said loudly: "Huang is worried that Nan Zheng's defense is weak. Deng Bomiao was still worried that Liu Bei's army would take the opportunity to attack the city. Now that you are there, I finally don't have to worry anymore."
At this time, Deng Zhi also walked up and said with a smile: "General Xu is right. Zhi is not a general. How can he take on the important task of defending the city? I also asked the prefect of Yishan to lead his army into the city and preside over the defense."
Yang Fu said in confusion: "General Xu's army is so strict, is it because he wants to rob the camp? Although Liu Bei is not very good, Zhuge Liang is an amazing person. I think he will definitely predict what happened tonight. General Xu, you need to be cautious when traveling."
But Xu Huang smiled and said, "Premier Yang, don't worry. This time I just went to rob the grain. In fact, as long as I win this battle, I can defeat it. It's Liu Bei withdrew his troops. However, Mr. Bo Miao is cautious and a little worried about the guards of Nanzheng. He was a little hesitant. But now, as long as you are Yishan, Liu Bei will come to a hundred thousand troops and expect to be able to defend this city. Haha, let's go."
After Xu Huang finished speaking, he led his army to leave without waiting for Yang Fu to say anything else.
"This..." Yang Fu had just arrived, and didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to object rashly, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart and said silently: "Please be careful about everything."
Xu Huang couldn't hear Yang Fu's words. In fact, even if he heard them, he probably wouldn't care too much. After all, he was confident that with his "grain robbery" characteristics, unless he encountered an enemy army several times that of him, there would generally be no accidents.
So Xu Huang came to his destination Fulong Valley with confidence, ambushed the team, preparing to ambush the food transport team coming.
After a while, I could hear the sound of squeaking wheels. A team came from a distance. There were dozens of large trucks with very deep ruts. It seemed that the inside was filled with food.
"Beat the drum!" Xu Huang quietly waited for all the enemy soldiers to enter the ambush circle, and immediately issued an order to attack. He heard the sound of drums, and the soldiers were all cheering up and killing them.
"General, we all feel that we have never been stronger." The soldiers following Zhang Wei felt their abundant physical strength and strong hands and said excitedly to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei nodded as well. He could clearly see that under Xu Huang's leadership, the soldiers under his command immediately became different, and they were all full of confidence. He believed that after this robbery of food, he would follow Xu Huang and not make great achievements and make his position rise again.
Although Liu Hexu gave him the position of General of the Central Army, he was not satisfied and had been thinking about furthering his position and striving to become a general. Now he has finally found such an opportunity and does not have to risk his life. Of course, he has to be more positive.
So Zhang Wei waved his hand and said excitedly: "Fight with all your heart, don't lose my face. When you make great contributions, your benefits will be indispensable."
Yang Ang, who was standing beside him, also looked proud. He was mixed in the army like Zhang Wei to get promotion. However, the difference is that Zhang Wei also planned to exchange his real achievements for promotion, but Yang Ang was simply trying to "get credit", and he was the kind of person who would get great benefits without putting any effort on his own. Now that he saw that there were ready-made cheap things to pick up, he naturally would not pick them up.
However, when their army arrived in the middle of the battlefield, they were all shocked, because the enemy's chariots were not food and grass, but people and weapons. They were all enemy soldiers wearing armor. These soldiers all looked very brave and elite. The most important thing was that the number of enemy troops was as large as that of people, inside and outside, and they should look several times more than that of our own.
If all those who come tonight are Xu Huang's army, it would be better to say, because after all, these are real elites, and they will not panic even if they encounter danger. However, most of them are Hanzhong's troops. Although these troops have been trained, their combat effectiveness and fighting will are still far from each other. Especially when they see that their side is defeated, they almost have no intention of fighting. It is already rare to be able to barely maintain the resistance. As for formation and resistance, it is simply impossible.
At this time, Xu Huang looked bitter. He really didn't expect that he would be plotted against this time. He couldn't help but feel depressed: "The characteristics of his robbery of food are rarely shown. He just knew so clearly with the enemy. And he also used this to set up a trap for himself?"
However, Xu Huang was not in a hurry. His old soldiers were also calm, maintaining their defensive formations and resisting resolutely.
In their hearts, there was no saying that they could escape, nor did they give up on resisting. Even if they died, they would definitely take some enemy troops to take the blame.
At this moment, someone came not far away from the opposite side and said with a smile: "General Gongming, are you okay? I have been waiting here for a long time. I knew you would definitely come to rob food tonight, so I designed to surround you here. This time I mobilized 50,000 and 60,000 main forces in the army. They trapped the surroundings like iron barrels. You have no hope of escaping at all, so you surrender quickly, so that you can save your life. Otherwise, you may end your life tonight."
"Hmph, if you want me to surrender, you are dreaming. Since I followed my lord, Xu Huang, I have decided to repay the consequences of my life. I will never be able to rely on others. Less nonsense. I will die today, kill me!"
After Xu Huang finished speaking, he immediately led his soldiers to prepare to break through.
However, at this moment, a scream came from behind him. It turned out that it was the general Yang Ang who took the opportunity to kill another general Zhang Wei, and came to Liu Bei's formation with a white flag, preparing to lead his troops to surrender.
