It was already dark, the wind was high, and the night was dark.
At the head of Ju County City, Yuan Fang was wearing heavy armor and standing with his hands behind his back, staring sternly at the dark night outside the city with a pair of eagle eyes.
Nearly two thousand soldiers crouched under the wall in silence, as quiet as the warriors without breathing.
The sound of footsteps sounded from behind. Guo Huai climbed up to the top of the city, cupped his hands and said: "Master, the reconnaissance cavalry reported that a group of more than 700 bandits are coming towards Ju County. They are already several miles away. It should be Xu." A bunch of thieves."
Yuan Fang nodded slightly and said calmly: "Send the order and ask all the soldiers to go to the Wengcheng. They will not show their heads without my command."
"No." Guo Huai took the order and left.
Yuan Fang continued to stare into the night. After a while, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something strange in the night.
"Chongtong, please open it for me."
Yuan Fang thought about it all his life, only to feel an itch in his right eye, and the small pupil appeared silently in his eye.
His vision suddenly enlarged, and through the faint moonlight, he could vaguely see, hundreds of steps away, dark figures sneaking towards the city gate.
"Xu Sheng, you are finally here." A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Fang's mouth, his eyes moved, and his eyes disappeared.
Then, Yuan Fang said a few words to the hundreds of soldiers who stayed at the top of the city, turned around and strode towards the Wengcheng wall.
The so-called Wengcheng is to build another gate outside the main entrance of the city, surrounded by walls on all sides to strengthen defense and protect the main entrance.
Generally speaking, only big cities will build urn cities, while small counties like Ju County originally did not have urn cities.
This small urn city was built after Yuan Fang arrived and mobilized two thousand soldiers to work day and night.
When Yuan Fang stepped onto Wengcheng, more than a thousand of Yuan¡¯s soldiers were already arrayed on all sides, all of them filled with passion and murderous intent.
Yuan Fang ordered the soldiers to calm down and wait for the enemy to take the bait.
A quarter of an hour later, seven hundred bandits sneaked close to the south gate of Ju County.
The young general who took the lead was Xu Sheng, who was very brave and brave.
A few days ago, Xu Sheng learned the news that Yuan Jun wanted to bloodbath Ju County because of him.
Xu Sheng, who was full of energy, decided to lead his people down the mountain and sneak attack Ju County at night, killing Yuan Jun by surprise, so as to rescue his neighbors who were trapped in Ju County.
Forcing the enemy city, Xu Sheng raised his eyes and saw that there were only a few defenders at the top of the city, and he couldn't help but feel joy on his brows.
"As expected, Yuan Fang's army is confronting Tao Qian in Yangdu. The defense of Ju County is empty. Brothers, what are you waiting for? Come to the top of the city and force open the gate." Excited Xu Sheng lowered his voice. Sound orders.
More than a hundred bandits received the order, quickly reached the bottom of the city wall, hung up the battlements with flying hooks, and climbed up to the top of the city with agility.
As Xu Sheng expected, Yuan Jun, who was on duty at the head of the city, was caught off guard and fled in defeat after a little resistance.
The bandits who easily entered the city lowered the suspension bridge and the city gate suddenly opened from the inside.
Seeing the city gate open, Xu Sheng was full of pride, raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into the city gate, kill all Yuan Jun, and rescue our fellow villagers~~"
After drinking violently, Xu Sheng took the lead and charged into the city gate with his horse and sword.
Behind him were seven hundred thieves, shouting and shouting, following Xu Sheng into Ju County.
Entering the city, Xu Sheng had high morale and galloped on his horse, but did not notice anything strange around him.
After running for more than twenty steps, Xu Shengcai suddenly realized that the surrounding environment seemed to be very different from usual.
Xu Sheng suddenly became alert. He reined in his horse and looked around. With the faint night light, he was surprised to find that an urn city appeared out of thin air inside the south gate.
"What's going on? Why did the urn suddenly appear? Could it be that"
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Xu Sheng¡¯s mind:
Fell into a trap!
Xu Sheng was so shocked that he didn't have time to think too much and shouted anxiously: "We have fallen into a trap, retreat quickly and go back to the city."
Unfortunately, it¡¯s too late.
On top of the Wengcheng, thousands of pairs of ferocious eyes have locked onto the seven hundred thieves below.
Yuan Fang's double pupils have been opened, and Xu Sheng, who is on horseback, can be clearly seen in his field of vision.
Everything was as he expected. In order to save the people in his hometown, Xu Sheng fell into Yuan Fang's trick of luring the enemy and took the risk to lead a group to attack Ju County at night.
"Young master, this plan is really brilliant. Xu Sheng, the thief, actually came to die." Guo Huai exclaimed in surprise.
Yuan Fang said: "ThisIn order to save his neighbors, Yu Sheng dared to take the risk and attack the city. He was indeed a chivalrous and brave man. Send the order and let the soldiers show up. "
The order was passed, and a loud horn sounded suddenly.
The sound of killing suddenly rose like thunder, and more than a thousand soldiers of Yuan's army who had been lying in wait for a long time suddenly appeared on the urn city. Countless torches illuminated the surrounding area in an instant.
Sudden changes occur!
In Wengcheng, the seven hundred thieves and bandits were immediately frightened to death, and their fighting spirit collapsed instantly.
Xu Sheng's expression also changed drastically. Seeing Yuan Jun's sudden rise, he realized that he had really fallen into Yuan Jun's plan.
Shocked, Xu Sheng was eager to lead his army out of the city gate.
At this time, more than five hundred iron cavalry arrived like a strong wind, sealing the city gate like a copper wall and iron wall, blocking Xu Sheng's retreat.
Yuan Fang appeared at the top of the city, his eyes like daggers, and said loudly: "Xu Sheng, Yuan Fang is here. You have been caught in my ambush. If you don't dismount and surrender, I will shoot you and your group of bandits." Become a hedgehog.¡±
With a sharp shout, hundreds of sharp arrows were already aimed at the thieves in Wengcheng.
At such a close distance, arrows are shot in all directions, and all seven hundred bandits can be killed in just a few rounds.
Xu Sheng was even more shocked when he heard Yuan Fang's name. He never expected that Yuan Fang would come to Ju County quietly and unknowingly, setting a trap to lure him into the trap.
With his retreat blocked and surrounded by arrows, Xu Sheng's face was as gloomy as iron. He knew that he had no way to escape.
Shocked for a long time, Xu Shengping suppressed his emotions, pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Yuan Fang, I, Xu Sheng, want to kill or behead me, but I can leave it to you. Please let my brothers go. I, Xu Sheng, will take charge of it."
Most of his 700 men and horses were young men from the villages of Juxian County. It was because of his reputation as Xu Sheng that they followed him and became bandits.
Xu Shengqing knew that the defeat was certain and did not want to let this fellow villager die, so he had to give up the resistance. He even wanted to bear the death penalty by himself and save the lives of these 700 people.
"This Xu Sheng is really loyal. Yes, he is a man."
Yuan Fang secretly praised them and said loudly: "As long as you surrender and capture them, I, Yuan Fang, promise to spare their lives."
Yuan Fang made a promise, and Xu Sheng had to believe it whether he believed it or not, so he had to order his subordinates to put down their weapons and surrender.
Yuan Fang then stopped his arrows and ordered Guo Huai to lead his army down to the city to capture the seven hundred bandits.
The bandits who gave up resistance were taken to the camp by Yuan Jun, waiting for their final defeat.
Not long after, Xu Sheng was tied up by Wuhua Da and escorted to Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang glanced around and saw Xu Sheng's face was gloomy, his eyes were resolute, and he looked like he was going to die generously.
"Xu Sheng, I, Yuan Fang, have not offended you. If you don't submit to me, then why are you robbing me of military supplies?" Yuan Fang asked.
Xu Sheng snorted coldly: "You burned, killed and looted to bring trouble to me, Langxie. Although I, Xu Sheng, am alone, I still want to fight with you."
Sure enough, as Zhuge Jin said, Xu Sheng believed that Yuan Fang was a cruel master.
Yuan Fang sneered and asked in a sarcastic tone: "You keep saying that I am cruel, but I want to ask, which eye did you see that Yuan Fang set his troops to burn, kill and plunder the people?"
When asked in return, Xu Sheng was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.
Yuan Fang added: "Or maybe, just because Liu Bei spread it everywhere and falsely accused me, Yuan Fang, of being cruel, you didn't distinguish between right and wrong and believed it without even thinking about it."
After two words, Xu Sheng was left speechless and his face turned red.
After holding it in for a long time, Xu Shengcai said in a deep voice: "If you weren't cruel, why did you want to bloodbath Ju County because of me?"
Xu Sheng was so deeply affected by Liu Bei's rumors that Yuan Fang couldn't explain it to him, so he waved his hand and said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Use your eyes to see for yourself whether I, Yuan Fang, is a person who harms the people." , Don¡¯t rely on what others say and listen to villains.¡±
After saying that, Yuan Fang shouted to the left and right: "Come here, take him around the city and let him see with his own eyes what I, Yuan Fang, do to the people."
